Chapter 275: A false alarm
Qi Wei's people quickly found the people in the restaurant based on Shen Qi's testimony and oral portraits, and to Qi Wei's surprise, these people showed no signs of escaping.
Although Qi Wei didn't know why these people didn't run away, it had nothing to do with him, and after Qi Wei caught these people, he quickly interrogated them.
The final result is not as expected, the mastermind behind the scenes is none other than Niu Hulu's Mansion Branch, that is, the person who curbs Bilong!
Qi Wei once thought about who wanted to ruin his niece's reputation, and after thinking about it, Qi Wei felt that the people in the harem were more likely.
And combined with the emperor's more and more explicit attitude these days, Qi Wei estimates that everyone in the harem regards her niece as a thorn in the flesh, but the most suspicious thing is Concubine Niu Hulu in the palace, for no other reason, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine Niu Hulu couldn't have children, the position of queen was almost indispensable.
And now the emperor's attitude is getting more and more open, and it is clear that he intends to make his niece the queen, so it is strange that Concubine Niu Hulu and Ji Bilong are not in a hurry!
Qi Wei found that his guess was really right today, but he felt a little bad in his heart.
Qi Wei is not like Yun Yao who has undergone modern baptism, Qi Wei's recognition of the clan is still very high, and the three brothers Wu Lu Qi Wei and Fosun are still more convinced of the descendants under the influence of Yi Teng.
Although the relationship between Yi Yi Teng and the people on Yi Yidu's side is a little salty, no matter what, the reason why Yi Yi Teng was able to gain a firm foothold in the officialdom at the beginning was inseparable from the protection of the Yan Branch, even if they didn't do it, but Niu Hulu's prestige cleared a lot of trouble for Yi Yi Teng!
Now that Qi Wei sees that his family has been targeted by his family, he is inevitably a little sad in his heart.
To be honest, Qi Wei didn't want to face up to the Curb Long Branch, not only because of the previous affection of the same clan, but also because Qi Wei knew how big the energy network of the Yan branch was, and it could even be said that a large part of the reason why the emperor wanted to crown Yun Yao as the queen was because Yun Yao's surname was Niu Hulu.
In this case, Qi Wei was really in a dilemma, so Qi Wei hurriedly went home to discuss with someone!
Niuhulu House
Wu Lu, Tu Hai and Qi Wei sat together a little worried, not only Qi Wei was worried about Curb Pilon's actions, but Wu Lu was also worried. It is even said that Wu Lu is nearly ten years old because of Biqiwei, so he has always empathized with the strength of Niu Hulu's family.
Even the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy on him was dismissed by Ji Bi Long, even so, Wu Lu did not dare to fall out with Ji Bi Long, for no other reason, Wu Lu was really very jealous of Yan Zhi.
And Tu Hai sat aside without saying a word, although Tu Hai said that to Wu Lu Qiwei, he was the eldest brother like a father, but Tu Hai was not a member of Niu Hulu's family after all, even if Yi Yiteng recorded Tu Hai in his name on the genealogy, but externally, as long as Tu Hai is not surnamed Niu Hulu, he is an outsider to Niu Hulu clan!
Qi Wei first broke the atmosphere that was almost frozen in front of him, and said: "Two elder brothers, now that the younger brother has not reported to the emperor, you two should hurry up and get an idea!" ”
Wu Lu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "How can I say this kind of thing for my brother!" Curb Bilong is powerful, and he is the patriarch, and our family is a side branch of the side branch, they don't like us for a day or two, in the past, as long as we were a little uplifted, we would be suppressed by the grandson branch, not to mention the position of a queen! ”
When Qi Wei heard this, he also remembered the sad urging that his brother's official position was confiscated by the intervention of Ji Bilong, and he could only sigh!
Tu Hai sighed when he saw Qi Wei and Wu Lu here, and said dissatisfiedly: "Look at you two, why are you so virtuous, and you are frightened as soon as you make a move?" ”
Qi Wei and Wu Lu were speechless by Tu Hai.
Seeing this, Tu Hai was angry, and felt that neither of them was enlightened, so he could only say again: "Why are you two so stupid!" Whether Yun Yao can become the queen or not, it's not what Curb Pilon said, this is what the emperor meant, even if he wants to oppose it, he only dares to play these tricks, can you still hold power like the emperor did before the emperor's pro-government? ”
Qi Wei said helplessly when he heard this: "We all know what the eldest brother said, but we are worried that if we want to fight with our family, we would rather break the jade than destroy it, it will be a great disadvantage to Yun Yao in the palace!" ”
Seeing that Qi Wei was worried about this, Tu Hai blew his beard angrily and glared: "Curb Pilon has lived for so many years, when have you ever seen him make such a decision?" If he had, he wouldn't have lost his title! ”
Qi Wei was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Big brother, you said that Curb Bilong is deceiving us?" ”
Wu Lu also came back to his senses at this time, and said to Tu Hai in surprise: "Big brother, could it be that these people arrested by Qi Wei this time were deliberately trying to reveal his identity?" Let us be afraid? ”
Seeing that the two of them finally opened up, Tu Hai stroked his beard and said with satisfaction: "You two are also concerned about chaos, after all, the matter involves Yun Yao."
However, the person who wants to seal Yunyao as the queen this time is the emperor, and Concubine Niu Hulu did not become the queen at the beginning, and he did not dare to go against the emperor, let alone now!
And you don't want to think about it, even if the emperor can stop the emperor's action of sealing Yun Yao, what benefits can he get? Concubine Niu Hulu can no longer give birth, and the third daughter of Kubilong is still young, not to mention that his daughter still has a bad impression in the emperor's heart, even if it is the queen, it will not be her turn. ”
At this time, Qi Wei finally understood, and said thoughtfully: "Then this time Suppilon is doing this so that we are jealous of him, and then he can use us to seek more benefits for himself!"
But Curb Pilon is not a generous master, and he will never seek the position of queen for others, after all, if it is not his biological daughter, then the establishment of our niece and others has no effect on Curb Pilon, so it is impossible for Curb Pilon to do useless work! So what is Coppilon for? ”
Qi Wei pondered for a while, and suddenly said in unison with Wu Lu: "Title!! ”
Then the two looked at Tu Hai again, Tu Hai nodded with a smile when he saw this, and said: "You should guess right, although outsiders still call him Grandpa Bilong, but the title on his body was taken away by the emperor as early as the time when the emperor captured Aobai, although the emperor has to take into account the thoughts of the nobles of the Eight Banners, and cannot take this title back."
But the emperor can pass the title to others, after all, there are sixteen brothers, and it is not only the only one who can be called a descendant, Niu Hulu's family is full of talents, and it is easy for the emperor to find an heir worthy of the duke's position, how can he not worry? ”
