Zhu Qingzi regretted to death!
Seeing Qu Yanming's extremely cold appearance in the corner of his eye, Zhu Qingzi knew that he had been hated by Qu Yanming. In the past, although Qu Yanming didn't like her, at least he was willing to say a few words to himself, and after today, he would be completely at an end with him. Even if she used extraordinary means to marry as she wished and entered the Qu family, I am afraid that she will be shelved for the rest of her life, and she will never get a straight eye from Qu Yanming - if so, let her watch Qu Yanming take care of her gently with other women, it is better to let her die!
Emperor Xuanqing's anger was uneven, he kept the teacup in his hand, and without saying a word, he lifted the teacup and smashed it at Zhu Qingzi for the rest of his life.
Zhu Qingzi didn't dare to dodge, and was hit on the ear by the teacup, and the tea splashed half of her face.
She hurriedly bowed down: "Father, the son knows his mistake, please calm his anger!" ”
"I'm too lazy to lecture you." Emperor Xuanqing panted: "Go back to your Queluo Palace, from now on, you are not allowed to go out of the palace gate, and you are not allowed to go back to your princess's mansion." You are so disobedient, let your mother teach you the rules! ”
Zhu Qingzi kowtowed and retreated with a bitter face.
As soon as she left, Qu Yanming shook her robe and stepped forward: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" ”
"You are also at fault for today's events." Emperor Xuanqing sighed: "The princess is wrong about this, what about you, in the court, you can't even look at your own robe." Drinking and making mistakes, God, you are no longer young, do you have to live in such a mess all day long? On weekdays, Concubine Qu does not restrain you, but today you have to go to Qinglin Palace, can you understand her hard work? ”
"Yes, God knows what happened!" Qu Yanming responded in a low voice.
Emperor Xuanqing sighed again: "Since you know that you are wrong, you should prepare well, now that the new science and technology scholars have arrived in the court, what kind of system have you, the original champion, become like this?" You are the champion of liberal arts, an upstart in martial arts, you should be extremely glorious, and now you have made yourself a demon king of the world, because of your fault, you have delayed the society, do you know? ”
"Heaven knows what is wrong." Qu Yanming knelt down.
Everyone knows what Emperor Xuanqing means, for so many years, this is not the first time that such words have been said - Qu Yanming won the champion of the civil and military department at the same time, if he didn't try, the court and the central government could choose two more talents, better than him alone, but he has been doing nothing.
Emperor Xuanqing saw that his attitude of admitting his mistakes today was indeed very good, and he was not as resistant as before, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "In this case, let's go to the ministry tomorrow to report." ”
"Yes." Qu Yanming closed his eyes and responded helplessly.
Suiguo Gong is very happy, his eldest son Qu Jinhe has been an official in the court for many years, and when he is old, he has been worried that his younger son has not returned, and now that his younger son is willing to enter the official career, he no longer has to worry about this. He happily thanked Emperor Xuanqing and Concubine Qu, and in the hall, he was the most relieved.
Seeing that Emperor Xuanqing was really angry, Qu Guifei felt a big stone in her heart, and she still had a lot to say to her brother, but she swallowed it all after all.
She glanced back at her son, Zhu Xinzhi and the prince were looking at each other, and she felt bad in her heart. However, thinking of her dead eldest son, Qu Guifei's heart hardened a little, the prince really needs a discipline, this discipline is already very late, since the son promised to find out the truth and avenge his fourth brother, he will never sit idly by, and she will wait and see what happens in the future.
Right now, she wants to be her son's most important support!
Qu Guifei stood up, put her hands on Emperor Xuanqing's forehead, and pinched Emperor Xuanqing's temples lightly: "Okay, don't be too angry, Qingzi is just young and a little willful, when she grows up, it will be fine." ”
"Young?" Emperor Xuanqing smiled: "Our daughter Yangxi is one year younger than her, see how sensible Yangxi is." ”
Concubine Qu pursed her lips and smiled.
Speaking of her daughter, her heart became more and more resentful of the Chen family and the prince. Previously, Chen Zhao also made a proposal to Emperor Xuanqing, saying that he wanted Yangxi to go and pro-Xishu.
She just reminded Emperor Xuanqing that Zhu Qingzi is so willful and needs to be disciplined!
When Emperor Xuanqing said Yangxi, he naturally thought of Chen Zhao's words before, and was silent for a while, he patted Concubine Qu's hand in understanding, but he had a plan in his heart.
"Let's go, all of you." Emperor Xuanqing opened his mouth tiredly, waved his hand and retreated his two sons.
He went to the harem accompanied by Concubine Qu.
As soon as Emperor Xuanqing left, the smell of gunpowder between the prince and Zhu Xinzhi became a little thicker, and the Duke of Suiguo was about to leave with Qu Yanming, Qu Yanming glanced at Pei Xie Tang who was following Zhu Xinzhi before leaving, and then glanced at the prince who was glaring at Pei Xie Tang with hatred, and his lowered eyebrows were fierce for a moment, but he hurriedly covered up the past and followed his father out of the palace gate.
"Today's younger siblings are impressive, this palace will remember younger siblings!" The prince whispered.
For a while, the atmosphere became more and more condensed.
Pei Xie Tang said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't remember me, I am a married woman." ”
Before the words fell, Zhu Xinzhi's helpless eyes turned around: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" ”
Pei Xie Tang shrugged and did not answer.
The prince was angry and was gaged by her, not only did he not lose his anger, but he felt even more angry, almost angry, he snorted, broke his sleeves and walked out, as if chasing Qu Yanming.
Zhu Xinzhi stretched out his hand and held Pei Xie Tang tightly.
The two of them went out of the palace together, and the lonely eagle had already learned about what happened in the palace today from the mouths of the people who came out of the palace, and when they saw the two of them coming out, they suddenly felt very nervous, and hurriedly followed up and asked: "Lord Wang, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Zhu Xinzhi shook his head: "Let's talk about it when I go home." ”
The lonely bird nodded, knowing that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly helped the two of them into the car. Along the way, Zhu Xinzhi's face was ugly, Pei Xie Tang was silent, and he was so anxious that he was lonely, not knowing what to do. The carriage was quiet for a while, and then I saw Zhu Xinzhi turn his head and look at Pei Xie Tang in a daze, as if he was exploring, more of a thought.
To be honest, today's events, he doesn't believe it's a coincidence.
He Shitong is He Mansleeve, he doesn't believe that He Mansleeve will die so easily, and he doesn't believe that if He Mansleeve dies, the person in front of him will be so calm and strangely calm. But if He Mansleeve didn't die, what was the sadness, guilt and regret at the moment when she saw He Mansleeve die in the hall.
Man cannot have two faces, let alone two lives.
He couldn't figure it out.
"How?" Pei Xie Tang turned his head to see this gaze, but he didn't avoid it, and asked with a smile.
Zhu Xinzhi stared at her: "Are you also involved in this matter in the palace today?" ”
"yes." Pei Xie Tang generously admitted.
"......" Zhu Xinzhi's questioning words were all momentarily stuck at the moment when she answered these two words: "Is He Mansleeve really dead?" ”
"What do you say?" Pei Xie Tang covered his mouth, his eyes were coquettish: "Lord Wang, you have already guessed, why do you still ask such an idiot question?" ”
"Where are the people?" Zhu Xinzhi was silent.
Pei Xie Tang pointed to the outside of the palace: "I have already been sent out of the palace." At this point, there are probably no bones left, right? ”
What the Chen family did to her at the beginning, how can she return it to the Chen family now.
Suddenly, Zhu Xinzhi didn't know what to say.
After a while, he raised his eyes: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell my father that He Shitong is He Mansleeve, and he is not dead?" ”
"It's useless for you to tell your father." Pei Xie Tang chuckled: "He Shitong is dead, it is something that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have seen with their eyes, and the father himself has personally verified the corpse to prove that the person is indeed dead." Even if you say it, your father will only use you as an excuse that you can't catch the murderer. Now there are no corpses, and it is impossible for you to verify them. ”
Zhu Xinzhi's face changed: "What did you do to him?" ”
"It's burned. This kind of thing, of course, has no proof to die. Pei Xie Tang spread his hands.
Zhu Xinzhi felt that one head was bigger than two.
He couldn't figure it out: "Why?" ”
"It's very simple, He Shitong is just a disgraceful chess piece, if he enters the court, it will be disrespectful to the court. He had to die. Pei Xie Tang looked at Zhu Xinzhi very sincerely: "Lord Wang, you should understand this truth, He Shitong is not He Mansleeve, he should not exist in this court, his existence will destroy the principles of the court, wouldn't it be good to let him disappear like this?" ”
Zhu Xinzhi did not answer.
If these plans were simply to make He Mansleeve disappear from this court, she could have made him suddenly attack a certain disease, instead of making a killer out of the blue.
His heart was uneasy.
Looking at Pei Xie Tang, Zhu Xinzhi's heart was full of uncertainty for the first time.
He didn't know what the person in front of him was doing.
And......
She is no longer dodging, no more perfunctory, no more finding reasons!
This time, she didn't even want to lie to him!
Why?
It seems that after Gao Xingzhi's injury, after the martial arts exam, she suddenly changed into a different person, becoming unpredictable and desperate - Zhu Xinzhi looked at Pei Xie Tang, her eyes fell on the window, revealing an unprecedented expectation, and he suddenly understood.
She wants to leave!
He was shocked, as if he had been hit by something, and he couldn't move in place.
Yes, Zhu Xinzhi guessed correctly.
Pei Xie Tang wanted to leave. This decision was not made now, but before Gao Xingzhi was injured, she was prepared when the truth was revealed, but Gao Xingzhi's injury forced Pei Xie Tang to see a fact: If she continues to stir up in the court, she will inevitably implicate many people, Zhu Xinzhi is the first to bear the brunt, Gao Xingzhi is the second, and all the people she cares about will follow her to take risks.
It's just that before leaving, she still needs to do something, cut through the mess quickly.
Especially Zhu Xinzhi.
He should go to the northwest, because of himself, he is confined to the capital, and it is difficult for him to display his talents and ambitions. He will only be safe if he leaves him.
Pei Xie Tang lowered his head and smiled, it was time to face the truth that they didn't want to mention.
Even if the truth can feel cruel. But after the pain, it was a new world for him!
