Chapter 101: Turning Passive into Proactive
The people in the carriage ran all the way to the city, and the direction of the beggars and the homeless people lived, and the common people would never set foot here, because if they entered, whether they were men or women, they would be ruined their innocence.
In the dark night, Concubine Meng heard that Jiang Yan had not come back yet, she glanced at Yu Rouyi, who was thrown on the ground and her cheeks were already smashed, and sneered: "I'm tired today, let you go for the time being, and when I come back, I will continue to settle this account with you." ”
Yu Rouyi closed her mouth tightly, she knew that the Meng family would not dare to kill herself, and she knew that she would definitely be able to see His Highness again, as long as she saw His Highness, she would be able to make the Meng family unable to get close to her again in her life!
When Meng left, he glanced at his mother-in-law meaningfully, and then led the people out.
As soon as she left, the mother-in-law laughed: "Aunt Yu, what are you thinking?" ”
"What do you want to do?" Yu Rouyi said vaguely, seeing the cruel eyes of this mother-in-law, she couldn't help shrinking back, but someone grabbed her shoulder.
The woman stepped forward and grabbed the placket of her shirt and pulled it, and the thin clothes were torn open and her belly pocket was torn off.
The mother-in-law glanced at the snow white and sneered: "If you are really a fox, this place is better than others." ”
The onlookers couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, and the mother-in-law kicked coldly and ordered: "Throw it to the firewood room, someone is waiting, don't delay, if the concubine comes back, if we know that we can't even handle this little thing, there will be good fruit to eat." ”
"Yes." The girls immediately smiled maliciously, and dragged Yu Rouyi, who had her clothes open, to leave.
Yu Rouyi knew what they were going to do, where they dared to go, but she was also ruthless, and bit the hand that grabbed her Yahuan on the side, and she didn't let go of the Yahuan even kicked her twice, until the Yahuan couldn't help but let go of her hand, she took the opportunity to run out.
"Aunt Yu, this house is full of side concubines, where can you go?"
The mother-in-law snorted coldly, watched her run out of the yard slowly, and then said confidently: "Go after her, don't let her scare the people in the house." ”
The girls also looked like they were bamboos in their chests, laughed, and chased them out.
Yu Rouyi has been tortured for the past few days, and she has no strength in her body, but her heart is not ordinary, and the fierceness she has grown in her bones since she was a child makes her now run forward even if she seems to step on the tip of a knife with every step.
Finally, when the people behind her were about to catch up with her, the figure she had been thinking about for the twilight finally returned home.
"Temple ......"
As soon as she shouted a word, she was kicked down in the stomach, and her tears fell out of her eyes, and her voice was swallowed back.
Jiang Yan was so tired that he didn't notice such a thing across the wall, so he just rubbed his eyebrows and went to his room.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yu Rou was ruthless, biting the face of the girl ring staring at her, almost tearing off a mouthful of meat, the girl ring couldn't help screaming, Jiang Yan heard it and hurriedly rushed over.
He just came, and when he saw the scene before the meeting, Rao is a big man was startled.
I saw that Yu Rouyi's cheeks were almost not a piece of good meat, the placket on her chest was drooping, there were blue and red footprints on her snow-white skin, and her mouth was biting Yahuan's face, which was bloody and terrifying.
"What's going on!" He shouted angrily, Yu Rouyi finally let go, knelt on the ground and wept: "The concubine knows that her status is low, but she will never go to any firewood room to serve those who are subordinates, if the prince can't tolerate the concubine, kill the concubine!" ”
After she finished speaking, her head slammed on the ground, one after another, and Jiang Yan wrinkled her brows.
His eyes were slightly sharp, he looked at the group of maids chasing in front of him, and asked in a cold voice: "Serving the little girl?" Homicide? ”
The mother-in-law at the head didn't expect him to come back without a sound, and when he came back, he would be notified first.
"Your Highness......"
"Where's the side concubine?" Jiang Yan's fists tightened slightly.
The mother-in-law stammered and couldn't speak, Jiang Yan's face sank, and she scolded loudly: "You are all dumb!" If you are dumb, the king will command you all to be sold. ”
When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to hide it, and said that Meng Shi went out with a few guards at night.
Jiang Yan looked at Yu Rouyi, who was still kowtowing, and only believed more and more that Meng had abused her before, and directly instructed Lan Yu: "Order someone to send Aunt Yu back, invite a doctor to come, and then order someone to go and find Concubine Meng back for me immediately, if you can't come back, you prepare a letter of resignation!" ”
With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
He didn't understand how people who had been gentle and virtuous before, but now they had become so terrifying.
Yu Rouyi knelt on the ground again, listening to his footsteps gradually disappearing, thinking that she had bitten the face of the girl ring just now, and now her mouth was still full of blood, she thought, it is impossible for Her Highness to treat her as the gentle and petty woman she used to be in her life.
Meng, you wait, I will make you regret treating me like this today!
At this time, Concubine Meng didn't know that Jiang Yan had returned home, and she had more important things to do today.
As Fang Qiaoqiao said, if you want to solve Chen Yansleeve at one time, then you have to restrain Wei Ruyi first!
"Big brother, are you ready?" Meng sat in the carriage and asked the man next to him.
This person is her only eldest brother Meng Kuo, Meng Kuo is talented, and with a brother-in-law like Jiang Yan, it is not too difficult to mix in officialdom, but before entering the officialdom, he has been mixed with three religions and nine streams all year round, and he can call him a brother and a brother to a third-rate person in the capital.
"Don't worry, it's just to ruin a woman's innocence, you just wait to watch the show." With that, their carriage stopped in front of a restaurant.
The two of them went to the private room that had been prepared a long time ago, and someone was waiting inside.
Seeing that they were coming, he immediately stepped forward flatteringly: "Lord Meng, side concubine." ”
"How's it going?" Meng Kuo asked him as he turned the wrench on his thumb and sat down on one side.
"Now that Wei Ruyi's carriage has been taken to the realm of the three no matter what, don't worry, we know that she is cunning, and we will definitely watch her be handled before leaving." The little man with the mustache said confidently.
Meng Kuo smiled and threw a bag of silver to him.
Concubine Meng was not very relieved: "It's so easy to catch her?" ”
The man smiled: "Concubine Fang, we have worked a lot. First bought off the subordinates of Master Meng's family, drugged Mrs. Meng's meal, and asked people to branch out Miss Chen, who was good at martial arts, but now that Mrs. Meng suddenly fell ill in the middle of the night, Wei Ruyi was naturally anxious and hurriedly went out. ”
After speaking, he paused, and continued to add: "We also know that Wei Ruyi is cautious, so she deliberately caused congestion on the wide road she must pass through. We have set up an ambush at the boundary of the territory that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and by this time she has all fallen into our calculations, where is there room to escape? ”
The man was twelve points satisfied with his careful arrangement, and Meng Shi also showed a slight smile as he listened.
Meng Kuo saw her so vigilant and smiled: "You are just too timid. Wei Ruyi is at best a powerless woman, relying on nothing more than Chen Mansion and those names on her body, without Chen Mansion, what else can she do alone? ”
"But aren't there many masters around her?" Concubine Meng thought about it and said worriedly.
"Don't worry, we also found a few masters to lure people away, but some masters came halfway to help us lure people away." After the man finished speaking, Xiao Er brought the restaurant's specialties and a pot of wine up.
"Master, this is our ...... store"
"Stand down." Meng Kuo didn't wait for the second child to finish speaking, threw a piece of silver to him and sent him away.
Xiao Er hurriedly smiled and retreated, and when he left, he looked at the people in the room and closed the door with a smile.
Concubine Meng only glanced at him when he went out, and vaguely felt a little familiar, but she didn't think of it for a while, she only frowned, and then said to the bearded man: "Are you sure that Wei Ruyi is in the carriage?" ”
"We watched her get into the carriage and never saw her get down." The man said.
Concubine Meng was still not very relieved, Meng Kuo saw that she was so cautious, and did not delay, and said: "You immediately go to see it in person, if there is nothing to do, you will take care of everything yourself." ”
"Don't worry, the small business will never involve the master." After the man finished speaking, he withdrew with a smile.
After closing the door of the room, he muttered that Meng Kuo and Concubine Meng were timid, and then turned his head to go out, but before he took two steps, he found that the shopkeeper who had just served the food was waiting at the staircase.
He frowned, "Why are you still here......"
"There's a master who wants to see you, here, please." Xiao Er raised his hand to gesture to the room next to him.
"Who?"
"You'll know when you go." Xiao Er continued to smile.
The man thought about it, anyway, there were all his own people inside and outside the inn, so he wasn't too afraid, turned around and went in, but when he went in, he looked at the men and women sitting in it playing chess lightly, and turned his head to run, but he was directly gagged and kicked to the ground by Xiao Er, who followed.
Because Meng Kuo was not very worried, he ate the meal and drank the wine, and Concubine Meng was nervous, so she didn't touch it at all, but after a while, Meng Kuo felt a little dizzy.
"Why am I so sleepy......" he muttered, and the man lay on the table and didn't move.
Concubine Meng was frightened, and immediately went to probe his breathing, and found that he was still alive, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Someone!" ”
The words fell, and there was no movement outside.
She frowned, but she also realized that something was wrong.
She got up and wanted to open the door, but she didn't take two steps, and saw the incense that had been lit in the corner of the door, and her heart was not good, but it was too late, and she only felt a burst of dizziness coming, she staggered a few steps in front of her and held on to the table on the side, trying to grab the teacup and smash it on the ground to attract attention, but before the cup was picked up, the person fainted weakly.
As soon as she fell, the door opened.
Xiao Er, who was just now, stood respectfully on the side and looked at the woman who came over: "What to do with these two people?" ”
"Meng sent back to King Zhao's Mansion, this man ......" Wei Ruyi's eyebrows raised slightly, turned his head to look at the bearded man who was gagged, and coldly hooked the corners of his lips: "Do what they were supposed to do." ”
Lou Yan came out of the back room and said, "It's not early, go back and rest." ”
"......"
"I'll take care of the rest." Lou Yan was dissatisfied with her as a girl who had not been out of the pavilion all day long, thinking about the things painted by those villains, and always felt that she was taken advantage of in this way.
Wei Ruyi was still worried, after all, after coming back today, when Xue Wuxian heard the news from King Rong, she had already quickly planned how to deal with this matter, and she was unwilling not to see it with her own eyes.
Lou Yan saw that she was still stubborn, and said coldly: "Be good, obedient." ”
Wei Ruyi gritted her teeth, it was a pity that she was not present for such a wonderful scene.
"I want to ......"
"No, you don't want to. Now go to the Meng Mansion to see Mrs. Meng. Lou Yan really can't do anything about her, not only has ideas, but also guts.
At the mention of the eldest aunt, Wei Ruyi dispelled her mind and left dejectedly.
Before she left, Lou Yan said to Ayi, who was pretending to be the second child: "Meng's ...... Do you know how to send it back? ”
"Yes." Ah Yi should get down, and Lou Yan looked at Meng Kuo, who had fainted. He originally thought that Meng Kuo could be regarded as Jiang Yan's help, but now it seems that this person's heart is not right, and it is troublesome to keep it.
When King Rong's people watched Meng Kuo and Concubine Meng being carried out in the dark, they knew that the plan had failed.
In this case, according to the will of His Royal Highness King Rong, the Meng clan cannot live!
However, they followed Ayi all the way to the gate of Zhaowang's Mansion, but they couldn't find the opportunity to start, because Ayi's people were too tightly protected, until Ayi quietly threw people near Zhaowang's Mansion and left, and then they found an opportunity.
"She must not be left alive today!"
The people in the shadows whispered, and when they saw that Ayi had indeed left, they all picked up their swords and headed towards the Meng clan who had fainted next to the corner gate of King Zhao's mansion.
But just as they were about to make a move, Ayi and the others, who were supposed to leave, suddenly turned back, and the sound of the fight quickly alarmed the people in King Zhao's mansion.
Jiang Yan had just finished freshening up, still thinking about tonight's events, and when he heard the movement, he immediately came out with his sword.
"Ayi?"
Jiang Yan recognized him, and Ayi only shouted at him: "Lord Wang, take down these people first!" ”
Jiang Yan naturally believed him, and immediately raised his sword to join, and the people in Rongwang's Mansion saw that the situation was not right, and they immediately wanted to withdraw, but Ayi was not a vegetarian, looking at the person who flew away, the long sword in his hand was thrown straight out, and it hit the man's heart, and the man fell down with a bang.
Jiang Yan immediately stepped forward to lift the man's veil, his palms slightly tightened.
Ah Yi saw who he recognized, so he stepped forward and saluted, and said what happened tonight: "Your Excellency said that the Meng family's heart is not right, and since the prince is helping His Royal Highness King Ping, the Meng family can no longer be used." "Just leave.
Jiang Yan's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, Meng Shi She was so vicious, did she still want to frame Ruyi like this!
"Lord, Concubine Meng has woken up......"
Someone reminded.
Jiang Yan didn't reply, but said coldly: "The Meng family has no virtue, vainly trying to torture and kill the wife and concubine of this king, and even luring wolves into the house to ruin the reputation of this king, from now on, Hugh will return to Meng's mansion!" ”
Concubine Meng, who had just woken up, was blinded: "Your Highness......"
But Jiang Yan ignored her at all, turned around and went home. He was afraid that if he stayed for a moment longer, he would not be able to help but vent all his anger on her and take her life!
And after King Rong's people returned to King Rong's mansion at this time, they were all trembling: "We didn't know that Lou Yan would find out about Meng's plan this time, but instead calculated a sum of money." ”
"It seems that Meng Shi has been targeted by his people for a long time." King Rong smiled disdainfully, too, Meng Shi has made so many moves recently, it is difficult not to pay attention to her, but from now on, Jiang Yan, the seventh emperor brother, is afraid that he will not recognize his fifth emperor brother.
"Please also ask the prince to punish the crime." A few people below bowed their heads.
"That's it." King Rong glanced at them: "It's just a small calculation, since Lou Yan's mind is on this little trick, it seems that King Ping can't take care of it." ”
Thinking of this, his smile became colder and colder.
That night, the recital of King Rong's Mansion was handed to the emperor, and the emperor was indeed as he thought, because of guilt, and at least a grand burial could make up for his guilt a little.
However, after King Ping knew that King Xuan's body was transported outside the capital, he didn't even consult Lou Yan, and went directly to the Yangxin Palace in person and asked the emperor to cremate him directly outside the city.
The emperor's old face tightened, and he looked at King Ping, who was standing at the bottom: "Xuan'er is your emperor's brother in the end, and he has to be buried in the ground when he dies, let alone his ......."
"Father, cholera is an unusual disease, this time the people under his hands transported the body of the second emperor's brother into the capital without the permission of the son, and the son-in-law blamed himself for not being strict in control, if he was not cremated in time, in case the cholera spread in the capital......"
Before Gonggong Gao finished speaking, he interrupted him by pretending to cough and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, you should rest early." ”
The emperor held back all his anger, he looked at King Ping, and only felt that this son, who used to be the most like him, did not understand him at all. He was full of guilt for King Xuan's death, and now let him cremate King Xuan directly, he is not only afraid of the queen, afraid that the world will poke his backbone and scold him for being ruthless, but he will not be able to pass this level in his heart.
But in the end, King Ping was the son he raised with his own hands, and since Gonggong Gao interrupted this, he didn't plan to continue.
King Keping only insisted: "Father, without further ado......"
"Enough!" The emperor finally couldn't help it, and shouted, King Ping's palms tightened slightly, and the emperor only turned blue: "You are also confused, I think you are too tired to be busy with the affairs of the old concubine, you can rest at home these days, King Xuan's affairs, I will hand over to King Rong to take care of it!" After speaking, he refused to listen to King Ping's words, turned around and left.
When King Ping saw him like this, his cold heart didn't feel cold at all, only sarcasm.
But this news was quickly passed on to Lou Yan by Father-in-law Gao.
After Lou Yan received the news, he immediately rushed to King Ping's Mansion.
However, before he left, Wei Ruyi, who was supposed to go to Meng's mansion, appeared in the alley around the corner.
"What's wrong?"
"It should be the matter of King Xuan's corpse entering Beijing." Xiao Yao said.
Wei Ruyi frowned, and said without a trace of snow on one side: "Then what should Meng Kuo do?" Looking at the meaning of the national teacher, he only taught a lesson. ”
Wei Ruyi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Strip it off, feed it with the drug and throw it into the pile, and then send it back to the Meng family in three or five days." ”
"Understood."
"And King Rong......" Although Wei Ruyi didn't know what oil and vinegar King Rong added to King Xuan's matter, she was sure that King Rong would be ruined.
At the beginning, the emperor could let him go, which shows that if he does not touch the emperor's core interests, he will never do anything to King Rong.
"There is no trace of snow, under King Rong's hands, there is a powerful staff, what is it called Feng ......"
"Pifeng." Xiao Yao replied: "Da Chun mentioned this person, it turned out that he was selling wine in a wine shop in the capital, and suddenly one day he was recruited by King Rong as a staff member. ”
Wei Ruyi smiled, naturally, because Pi Feng was a powerful character under King Xiao in his previous life, since King Rong can predict the future now, he will definitely want to take all the powerful people under his hands, but one thing Wei Ruyi can be sure of is that King Rong or the person behind King Rong who was reborn like himself, I am afraid that he will not live longer than himself in his previous life, otherwise King Rong will not go so slowly and difficult step by step.
"What are you looking for him?"
"I'm not looking for him, but you're going to help him meet someone." Wei Ruyi said.
Xue Wuxian looked at her eyes narrowing and calculating, and clasped her hands to her chest: "Who is it?" ”
The corners of Wei Ruyi's mouth hooked: "King Rui's new favorite, the first Oiran in the capital." ”
Xue Wuxian also squinted her eyes and approached as she did, "Are you going to instigate King Rong's people to fight for a prostitute with King Rui?" ”
"It's not painful or itchy to fall on King Rong, what's the use?" Wei Ruyi asked him rhetorically.
"So what are you trying to do?" Xue Wuxian turned around a few times, but still couldn't understand.
"I want the life of King Rui." Wei Ruyi laughed lightly, King Rui's enmity with her is really not shallow, she almost ruined her innocence in the hot spring villa, and now that Meng Shi saw Fang Qiaoqiao again, he came to harm himself like this for no reason, most of it was also King Rui's idea, as for who instructed her to do it, as long as King Rui lived, it would be difficult for her to avoid being calculated by him, so she could only turn passive into active!
Xue Wuxian glanced at Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao resolutely supported Wei Ruyi: "Miss, what can a slave do?" ”
"Simple, after that Pifeng has seen his sister-in-law, it's time for you to play!" Wei Ruyi patted her shoulder with a smile, and then immediately got into the carriage and headed towards Mengfu.
Although Zhiyu came in a hurry before, there was still a doctor in the Meng Mansion, as long as it wasn't for the weird poisons of Fusang, she wasn't worried.
When she left, Xue Wuxian asked Xiao Yao: "Why do you believe her so much?" What she wants to kill, but Longzi is a dignified prince. ”
"Those cow ghosts and snakes are not trying to harm this weak woman, they deserve it, what about the prince, can they kill people?" Xiao Yao was dedicated to defending Wei Ruyi, and Xue Wuxian was so frightened that she couldn't speak, so she only argued strongly: "It's not that I don't disapprove, I'm just worried." ”
"Hmph." Xiao Yao ignored him, turned his head and left, and Xue Wuxian hurried to do Meng Kuo's business.
However, looking at those beggars who were not taboo in meat and vegetarians, and then looking at Meng Kuo, who was particularly conspicuous in the dirty crowd, he saw that he was a big man with goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly left.
Early the next morning, before the affairs of the court and the central government had made much trouble, the Meng Mansion blew up the pot first.
