At the beginning, her husband used the medicine of the tiger and wolf indiscriminately, and she mixed cinnabar in it, so that the new emperor died not early, and only her henchman Sun Xi knew about it.

If this matter is known and reaches the ears of the ministers of the court, all that she has worked so hard to win will disappear.

Feng Huang's fingers twisted the broken strings, and the slender strings cut his fingers, "This person can't stay." ”

Gu Yinglian took a closer look at everything that happened to Shi Cai, she got down from the seat and slowly walked towards him. She took his finger and slowly put it in her mouth, and she sucked the blood off his finger.

"I don't trust anyone in this matter, so I can only let you do it." Gu Yinglian let go of his trimmed fingers, and the corners of her lips smiled like silk, "Feng Huang, you won't let me down, will you?" ”

"Yes." Feng Huang's deep gaze was unwavering, and he turned around and left the splendid palace.

Sun Xi was locked up in a palace in the northwest corner of the palace, and he didn't know what year and month the last time he lived, and it was a little desolate.

Feng Huang took Wang Ken to the front of the hall, and a pitch-black crow hovered on the glazed tiles, wailing constantly, as if indicating a killing.

Wang Ken stepped up a few steps, blocked in front of Feng Huang, and said with a flattering face, "Lord Wang, such a bloody matter, you just have to hand it over to the slaves, such an unlucky beast, wouldn't it dirty your eyes." ”

Feng Huang smiled slightly, "This king knows your thoughts, Sun Xi is narrow-minded, pampered, you try your best to replace him, this king is very understanding, but if he says something inexplicable, this king will never take it to heart." ”

Wang Ken's face changed when he was shocked by his words, thinking about what a powerful character Feng Huang was, and he was all clear about his crooked ways.

He had to smile and nodded, "Presumably, His Royal Highness King Nanjing has something to say to Gonggong Sun, and the slave is waiting here." ”

Feng Huang didn't pay attention to him, but just walked straight to the hall.

The perennially gloomy palace has nothing but a few simple tables and chairs. Sun Xi was tied to a pillar in the hall by the guards, his head drooping.

His hair was loose and his clothes were wet, apparently the guards had woken him up with cold water.

Sun Xi heard the voice, and hurriedly raised his head, and the water droplets slowly fell down his half-black and half-white hair, "It's you." ”

"Who does Grandpa Sun hope for?" Feng Huang's voice condensed, without a trace of emotion, "Do you still think that the Queen Mother will meet you at this moment, and she has issued an order for me to take your life." ”

"I want to see the Queen Mother, I was framed by Wang Ken's bastard." Sun Xi stiffened his neck, and then his eyes reddened with hatred, "I've done so many things for her, he can't do this to me." ”

"It's because you know too much that she can't keep you." Feng Huang slowly walked to the dusty chair and sat down without any scruples.

In an instant, the hammer knocked down the heart, Sun Xi is such a shrewd person, a little bit of the phoenix, he will clearly understand.

"I used to embarrass you, but it was the Queen Mother's instructions, you go and plead with the Queen Mother to save my dog's life." Sun Xi is in trouble, and there is no longer the arrogance of the past.

Feng Huang said leisurely: "You are full of evil, and now if I save you, I will go to the underworld." Take your secrets with you and go together. ”

Sun Xi knew that he was guilty of death today, and his bloodshot eyes were wide open, "Sure enough, the most poisonous person in the world is the Queen Mother, do you really think no one knows about the things she did?" I also know the secret of being taken away, which is who killed your father, princess, and princess—"

Feng Huang stood up abruptly and looked straight at Sun Xi, "Say." ”

Sun Xi smiled proudly, his face was extremely hideous, he just wanted to seal the phoenix and Gu Yinglian and not be able to live in peace, when Gu Yinglian framed Princess Nan'an and plotted to kill the emperor, even if she quietly executed the person who knew about it, the secret was still known to him.

The jackdaw, which had been hovering in the air for a long time, flapped its dark wings and flew into the sky, and the dark night seemed to be shattered by it.

Feng Huang came out of the hall, and his crescent-white clothes were very dazzling in the dark night.

Seeing that he had come out, Wang Ken hurriedly walked over with a lantern, bent over, and said respectfully, "The prince has done everything, but you need a slave to help you deal with the aftermath." ”

"He has already hanged himself, and tomorrow he will tell the people in the palace that he can't think about it for a while, and he commits suicide."

Wang Ken hurriedly nodded yes, and Feng Huang had already left while speaking, leaving only his lonely back on the corridor.

The illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a thread, Yu Zhiyan had a quarrel with Gu Jue last night, and his originally better body became heavier again.

Bao Xiao'er is also helpless, both of them are stubborn, these two ancestors are together, they don't turn their faces a few times a day, and the maids feel awkward.

The two of them quarreled in the morning, and in the evening they were as good as if they were nothing, and everyone was no stranger to this.

Yu Zheyan was lying on the bed, Bao Xiao'er served her and took medicine, and a layer of sweat appeared on her body, so she felt better.

Bao Xiao'er finally said the words from the bottom of her heart, "Madam, the young master didn't even go to the morning court today, he just walked around the courtyard all the time, he must have wanted to apologize to you, but he really couldn't save face." ”

Hearing her words, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she only pulled the brocade quilt up, covering her head.

Bao Xiao'er had to sigh helplessly, and only walked to the yard, but saw Gu Jue sitting under the flower stand in front of the courtyard teasing the birds, and when she saw her coming, she asked in a low voice, "Is her illness better?" ”

"It's better." Bao Xiao'er hurriedly said, "You two are both children, since you are so worried, why don't you take a look for yourself, but it is just separated by a few door panels, and it is not a single knife mountain and a sea of fire, and you need a slave to pass the word." ”

Dong Lang heard that she was getting better, and he was relieved, she coughed badly when he left yesterday, and he was afraid that her condition would worsen.

As the two of them were talking, they saw Wang Ken's footsteps getting closer and closer. Gu Jue raised his head, but saw a eunuch coming over with a food box.

Gu Jue looked at the man wearing the clothes of the chief manager, and thought it was Sun Xi's house, but that person was clearly half a head taller than Wang Ken, obviously not at all.

When the man walked in, he knelt down and saluted, "The servant king pleads to greet the general." ”

Gu Jue only then knew that this was Sun Xi's proud protégé, how could he be promoted to a position and become the general manager.

"It turned out to be you." Gu Jue sneered, "Why is your master like a shrunken turtle who refuses to see me, but I'm afraid that he will scold me in some corner." ”

Wang Ken saw that his voice was sharp, obviously hating the house and Wu, and hurriedly smiled: "He hanged himself last night, maybe he was ashamed of the general, or he knew that he had done something wrong, so he went." ”

As soon as he heard that Sun Xi, who he hated so much, hanged himself, he couldn't help but feel happy, and he couldn't care about how a person like Sun Xi who sacrificed his life could be willing to cut himself.

Seeing that Gu Jue's face was better, Wang Ken hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother felt sorry for the general's wife, so she specially asked the servants to send a few pastries made of autumn pears. ”

Gu Jue saw that the Queen Mother ordered someone to send something, and as a courtier, he naturally couldn't refuse, so he only took the food box in his hand, and after opening it, it was really a few pastries that could quench his thirst.

He twisted one from each plate, put it in his mouth and chewed it indiscriminately, and then handed it to Bao Xiao'er on the side after eating, "Let her see if there is anything she wants to eat." ”

Bao Xiao'er took the order, took the food box and entered the house.

Wang Ken was still kneeling on the ground, he didn't get up, the corners of his lips hooked up a sneer, Gu Jue deliberately tasted all the pastries just now, obviously suspecting that the Queen Mother would poison and break the cigarette.

Now that he is a general, but he tests poison for a woman, no wonder the Queen Mother is so disgusted with this Yu Zhiyan.

When Bao Xiao'er entered the house, Gu Jue said coldly to Wang Ken: "Go back and tell the Queen Mother, I just said that the Chengguo Mansion has everything, and there is no need to send these over." ”

Wang Ken knew that it was boring, so he left stupidly.

Gu Jue stood in the courtyard for a while, and did not go in to look for Yu Zhiyan, but only went to the study in a gloomy manner.

He held the books for a long time, and it was not until the maid came in to add tea that he secretly pursed his lips and smiled, and he realized that he had taken the books upside down.

He was already angry, but he suddenly had a seizure, and suddenly threw the book on the table, and suddenly the ink slurry flew sideways, and the wolves on the shelves crackled and rolled to the ground.

The maid trembled with fright, and knelt on the ground with a thud, "The general spares his life—"

Gu Jue was annoyed, but saw the housekeeper hurriedly come in, "General, Madame's aunt is here, can you let her come in to visit?" ”

"Let her come to me first, I have something to say." Gu Jue knew that Yu Zhiyan had always been kind to this aunt, and now it seemed that he was saved.

Hearing this, the housekeeper hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Sure enough, the housekeeper only left half a cup of tea, and saw him leading a woman into the study in a hurry, the woman looked nervous, as if she didn't expect Gu Jue to see her in person.

"The women of the people greet the general." Mrs. Yun knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully and modestly.

Gu Jue hurriedly got up from the chair, walked past the maid who was still kneeling on the ground, and only walked over to help her up, "Why did my aunt salute me, I haven't said hello to you yet." ”

This aunt's call was abrupt, although Yu Zhiyan was a first-class lady, she was just a vain name, and she was not a serious lady who was married to Ming Media, and her relatives were naturally not Gu Jue's relatives.

Besides, he is a first-class general, how can he give a salute to the wife of a businessman, isn't it against the law of the country.

Even the housekeeper and maid in the house widened their eyes in shock, but they saw that Gu Jue really knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.

Mrs. Yun's face was full of astonishment for a while, and she didn't know what to do.

She has always heard how Gu Jue is flying and domineering, and she is also unpopular in the court. What's even more creepy is that when he slaughtered the city in Huaiyin, the people portrayed him like a ghost.

But at this time, it seems that he is a handsome son, gentle as jade.

Mrs. Yun hurriedly said: "General, you better get up quickly, if you kneel, won't you break my life." ”

He slowly stood up with a look of embarrassment on his face, "I was annoyed by the cigarette yesterday, and when you look at her for a while, help me say good things." ”

This made her a little confused for a moment, thinking that a person like him would not be able to do it.

"Yes." She hurriedly said good things for Yu Zhenyan, "This child has a good temperament since he was a child, because his mother went early when he was a child, and he was often bullied by those mothers, you should only pity her, don't worry about her." ”

He had already heard of Yu Zhiyan's bumpy shape when she was a child, and thinking that this aunt regarded her as her own, he couldn't help but be respectful, "Please also persuade her to follow three virtues and four virtues in the future." ”

He just wanted her to stop losing her temper, but when she heard this, Mrs. Yun's ears were obviously wrong, and she only thought that she was jealous and had no woman's virtues.

She hurriedly agreed, and Gu Jue asked the housekeeper to take her to Yu Zhiyan's room.

I was in a hurry just now, and because I wanted to see Gu Jue, I was worried in my heart, so I didn't look at the surrounding scenery well, and I wanted to check it carefully, but I saw Qingxi Epsom Jade, Shibei pierced the clouds, and the white stone was the railing, surrounded by ponds and marshes, stone bridges and three ports, and the beast face was spitting.

Such a mansion can only be exchanged for the merits of several generations of ancestors.

Turning countless pavilions and attics, there is a courtyard with flying buildings and carved and embroidered thresholds. The housekeeper who led the way in front said respectfully: "Madam, this is Mrs. Yu's house, she has been cold for the past two days, and she has lost her temper with the general, you don't have to say anything sad." ”

Mrs. Yun nodded hurriedly, and when she heard that Yu Zhiyan was sick, she couldn't help but feel worried, and hurriedly entered the house.

It turned out that someone had already sent a letter, so Yu Zhiyan asked the maids to bring their clothes and change them, combed their messy green silk, and smeared a layer of rouge on their faces, and the whole person looked a little energetic.

Hearing the footsteps, she stood up from her chair without waiting for the maids to help her.

When Mrs. Yun saw her, she hurriedly knelt down and asked for peace, "The people woman greet Mrs. Yun." ”

Where did Yu Zhiyan dare to accept such a big gift, and hurriedly said: "Aunt, you are going to be embarrassed that you can't break the cigarette, and you don't get up quickly." ”

Yu Zhenyan's body was inconvenient, so Bao Xiao'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, but heard Mrs. Yun say: "You are now a court wife, how can the rules be avoided." ”

Bao Xiao'er only heard that this Mrs. Yun was just the wife of the Shang family, but she didn't expect to be so smart, no wonder his son won the top prize.

Mrs. Yun was helped to the soft couch by Bao Xiao'er and sat side by side with Yu Zhiyan.

The last time the two met was in the Nan'an Wangfu in Qingzhou, but now it is a matter of things, and she has remarried someone else.

"Auntie." Yu Zhiyan's tears rolled down, "You don't even have a letter these days, how is Yu'er's girl doing in Jiangnan." ”

"After she defected to me, she stayed in the mansion and waited for your news, and now that you are married to the general's mansion, she can't come." Mrs. Yun had red eyes, "You are used to using that maid, if you miss her, you will take her from Jiangnan, it is rare that girl has filial piety and has been thinking about you." ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan was full of sorrow, and now this Chengguo Mansion can last until what year and month, or don't implicate Yu'er.

"That girl is big, it's better to find her a good family as soon as possible." Yu Zhiyan let out a long sigh, "Auntie, you came all the way to Beijing, isn't it for your cousin's marriage?" ”

"It's also for Peichang's official matter." Mrs. Yun's voice was soft, and she secretly glanced at Bao Xiao'er again, and then said: "Now that General Gu has promoted your cousin to the imperial history, he is young, I am afraid that there is something wrong." ”

"What?" Yu Zhiyan had never heard of this at all, all the positions in the court were appointed by the emperor, and now Gu Jue promoted whoever he wanted, which shows that he has no respect for his superiors at this time.

Seeing her shocked look, Mrs. Yun hurriedly asked, "You don't even know about this, your uncle and I guess that you asked General Gu to do this." ”

Yu Zhiyan was afraid that Mrs. Yun would be too careful, so she hurriedly said: "My cousin is full of knowledge, if he can't be reused by the court, wouldn't it be a pity." ”

When Mrs. Yun heard her say this, the worries in her heart gradually dissipated. Their families are all from merchants, and there is no one higher than the county order in their ancestors, and now they have a royal history, isn't it that their ancestors have accumulated Yin Gong.

She suddenly thought of what Gu Jue had told her, so she said: "You and General Gu have a temper, he is now a precious person, how can a woman disobey him everywhere." ”

The corners of Yu Zhiyan's lips only rose slightly, "My aunt doesn't know his temperament, and I am the only one in this world who can persuade a few words, if I don't care about him, I don't know how big a mess it will be." ”

Mrs. Yun's lips moved, and she just wanted to say something, but when she saw that the curtain in the house had been lifted, Gu Jue walked in with a big grin, and she had a branch in her mouth, looking cynical and disrespectful to the eldest young master.

His eyes roamed around Yu Zhiyan's face, and seeing that she looked good, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, obviously Mrs. Yun's words worked, since there were outsiders, she was embarrassed to quarrel with herself.

Behind his hands, he slowly walked towards Yu Zhiyan, and then reached out and leaned over to Yu Zhiyan's forehead, "Let me touch it and still burn." ”

Yu Zhiyan was not angry with him, but it happened that Mrs. Yun said that he promoted Yun Peichang, and he made his own decisions without discussing such a big matter, which made her suppress anger.

"Don't bother." Yu Zhenyan turned his face on one side, and immediately snatched his hand, "I'm not your dog or cat, if you like it, you will enjoy meat, and if you don't like it, you will scold." ”

Gu Jue withdrew his hand that was frozen in the air, and then his ten fingers were clenched together, and suddenly the green tendons bulged out, "You really don't belong to the cats and dogs I raised, they still know how to repay their kindness, unlike you." ”

Mrs. Yun saw two people facing each other in the room, and neither of them let anyone, but it was like two roosters fighting each other. But after all, she was an outsider, and she didn't dare to provoke Gu Jue, and she didn't even dare to say half a word of advice.

Gu Jue glared at Yu Zhiyan fiercely for a while before leaving angrily. Bao Xiao'er, who was serving in the house, sighed helplessly and hurriedly chased out.

Seeing that there was no one else in the house at this time except for the two of them, Mrs. Yun said, "Folding cigarettes, it's better to give General Gu a few concubines." ”
