When I think about it, everything becomes clear.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but re-examine the second lady.

Her thoughts coincide with Xu Lingyi.

After the accident, the first thing Xu Lingyi did was to tell her to stabilize the queen and not to say or do anything that made the emperor dissatisfied.

Xu Lingyi has a strong news network, but the second lady ......

If she has been playing such a staff-like role at the critical moment of the Xu family, then it is understandable where Mrs. Tai and Xu Lingyi's respect for her comes from.

The thought flashed, and Eleven Niang couldn't help but be full of ambition.

There are many restrictions on women in this society, among which is the saying that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", and what the Xu family did is obviously contrary to this statement. Is it because the special experience of the Xu family gives the woman the opportunity to use her intelligence and talents to improve her status within the family? Or is it because the Xu family has always had the confidence and mind to let women participate in the family's affairs?

She believes it is the former – when families are in danger, it is mostly women and young children who are pardoned.

There are 24 founding heroes who were robbed of their titles in the "King Zheng An Rebellion Case", and only five of them were finally restored. That's a telling.

The words of the second lady not only made Eleven Niang think, but also made Mrs. Tai's eyes shine.

"Yes, that makes sense." She looked at Xu Lingyi with sharp eyes, "What are your plans?" ”

Xu Lingyi looked at the second lady: "The second sister-in-law hasn't seen the queen for a long time, right?" This time I went to cry and mourn, and I should also say hello. ”

The second lady nodded: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I rushed back from Xishan, just because I was afraid that the imperial concubine and others would take advantage of it and mess up the queen's mind." The best way to resolve grief is to have another prince. ”

It's like a riddle.

But all the people in the room understood.

The queen was deposed, who has the greatest interests?

Of course, it is the imperial concubine who also gave birth to a prince and a holy family, and the queen mother who sits in Cining Palace but worries every day that the emperor who is in the prime of life will cross the river and tear down the bridge!

If the emperor can turn grief into strength, it is the biggest counterattack to this strategy!

"Then let's disperse!" Xu Lingyi stood up when she heard this, "I will go to Sishanmen early tomorrow morning to mourn." ”

Mrs. Tai nodded, leaving the second lady to rest here: "...... I also want to talk to you. ”

At this time, it is indeed a little inconvenient to go back to the back garden.

The second lady has been gone for a few months, and it is a cold winter, and it will take a few hours just to burn the earth dragon, and when the house is warm, I am afraid it will be time to enter the palace.

The second lady glanced at Eleven Niang with some hesitation.

Eleven Niang felt strange in her heart.

See what I'm doing?

I can't decide where you live? I can't refute Mrs. Tai's meaning?

Instead, he said: "I'll ask Mother Du to move the things that my second sister-in-law is used to." ”

The corners of the second lady's mouth twitched slightly, as if she had something to say, and Mrs. Tai had already taken her hand: "You rushed over in the dust, go and freshen up." ”

While speaking, Eleven Niang had already called Du's mother. Du's mother knew that this side was scattered, and led a large group of maids and mothers-in-law to pour in.

Eleven Niang bent her knees to salute Mrs. Tai and Second Lady: "Master Hou and I will go back first!" ”

Mrs. Tai nodded: "Rest early!" ”

After Xu Lingyi saluted Mrs. Tai, the two walked out of Mrs. Tai's courtyard one after another.

On the way, Xu Lingyi paused, waited for her to walk to her side, and asked her in a low voice, "Are you afraid?" ”

Eleven Niang was stunned.

Xu Lingyi had stopped, looking at her with a deep and distant gaze: "Are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid!" Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi seriously, she was really afraid...... This is a world she doesn't know at all, and she can't see the future clearly, "But I know that Hou Ye has always stood in front of me." "This is the truth, something happened, the first to bear the brunt is the man, it is Xu Lingyi who represents the family, "Brother Yu, Sister Zhen'er, and Brother Zhen are standing behind me, and I can't be afraid!" "It's also true, no matter what, she's an adult, they're children, they're underage children!

Looking at Eleven Niang, who was only up to his shoulders and extremely calm in her eyes, Xu Lingyi couldn't help but nod slightly: "Go back!" ”

When I returned to the courtyard, I didn't expect Sister Zhen to wait in the hall.

Seeing them, she stepped forward to salute them with light steps, her eyes full of worry.

Xu Lingyi nodded and went straight into the house. Eleven Niang took her hand: "Brother Zhen is asleep!" ”

Sister Zhen nodded: "I'll come back when he sleeps!" ”

Eleven Niang looked at her somewhat pale face and said in a low voice, "It's okay." After speaking, he felt that such comfort was too weak, which might make Sister Zhen more worried, and said: "The matter of the five princes is a misunderstanding. But we are also afraid that someone will talk nonsense, so we must prevent it as soon as possible. ”

After all, Sister Zhen is still young, and when she saw Eleven Niang's sworn appearance, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled at her: "Go and rest!" Early tomorrow morning, the adults in the family will go to cry and mourn, and Brother Zhen will trouble you to help take it for a few days. ”

Sister Zhen immediately said: "Mother don't worry, I will take him with me well, and I won't let him cry." ”

"Sister Zhen'er, I have always been relieved to do things." Eleven Niang smiled and sent her to the east wing, and then entered the house.

Xu Lingyi has already changed his clothes: "What are you talking about?" ”

Sister Zhen was a little worried and comforted her.

Xu Lingyi nodded: "I have something to go to Banyuepan." You rest first, don't wait for me. ”

I'm going to meet my staff!

Eleven Niang nodded, sent Xu Lingyi out of the door, freshened up and fell asleep by herself, but she couldn't sleep, her mind was in a mess, and it wasn't until she knocked on the second watch that she felt a little sleepy. As soon as he closed his eyes, there was a commotion outside, and Amber came in with her clothes on: "Madam, Master Hou is back!" ”

She got up, and as soon as she put on her clothes, Xu Lingyi walked in with a burst of cold air. Seeing that Eleven Niang's eyes were clear, she was stunned: "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

Eleven Niang answered vaguely and got up to make him tea.

Xu Lingyi saw that she was only wearing a small jacket, and held her down: "Go and lie down, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Seeing his firm attitude, Eleven Niang brought the little maid in to serve again, so she followed his wishes and snuggled into the quilt.

Xu Lingyi went to the clean room to wash.

Eleven Niang and the little maid used the stove to help Xu Lingyi warm the quilt.

The quilt was just a little hot, and Xu Lingyi washed it out.

"Don't be that troublesome." He took off his shoes and went to bed, "There is a dragon in the house, it's warm." ”

When the little maid saw this, she put away the stove and avoided it, and Amber stepped forward to help them put the tent.

Eleven Niang wanted to ask him what was going on, but she was afraid that he would think she was trespassing, so she finally endured it without asking anything, leaned over and blew out the lamp.

It was quiet in the tent, and each other's breathing could be heard.

Knowing that the other party was not sleeping, Xu Lingyi turned over and faced Eleven Niang: "Don't worry." This time I was negligent, I didn't expect the people of the Ou family to be so bold...... They will never be given a second chance. The tone was very abrupt.

"People from the district family?" Eleven Niang vaguely heard that the imperial concubine's surname was in the district, "Is it the imperial concubine's mother's family?" ”

"Hmm!" Xu Lingyi said, "The ancestors of the Ou family have served as the admiral of the Fujian Navy since the previous dynasty. After returning to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was even more prosperous in official fortune, and some of his children successively served as the chief soldier of the Fujian Naval Division, the general soldier of the Zhejiang Naval Division and the chief soldier of the Guangdong Naval Division. During the Jianwu period, the sea was rampant, and the Ou clan led the people to resist the Japanese, and the name shocked the four seas, and then subdued the four islands for the Great Zhou, and was named the Marquis of Jinghai. After the emperor ascended the throne, the affairs of the border sea relied on the district family, and the district family could also abide by their duties and serve the country loyally. Only then did the emperor accept the daughter of the Ou family. ”

Eleven Niang thought of that delicate voice...... Although there are political reasons, I like it in my heart! Otherwise, just seal a concubine, why bother sealing the imperial concubine. And how can you not make people want to try?

Obviously, Xu Lingyi also knows.

"That Ou clan was born beautiful, and he was proficient in music and rhythm, and he was immediately favored by the emperor when he entered the palace. In just two years, she was promoted from Jieyu to imperial concubine. His voice was very indifferent, "It just happens to be with our Xu family, one south and one north, elbowing each other." ”

In the final analysis, the key lies in the emperor's attitude.

Eleven Niang said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Master Hou." Tomorrow I will take care of Mrs. Tai, and I will also assist the second sister-in-law to have a long talk with the queen. ”

and his incomparable tacit understanding.

Eleven Niang's answer made Xu Lingyi extremely satisfied.

He couldn't help but whisper: "In the past few years, there have been serious troubles in Fujian and Guangdong, whether it is for the sake of the society or the overall situation, it is impossible for the emperor to move the people of the district family. But just because he doesn't move doesn't mean we won't create an opportunity for him to ......."

Xu Lingyi's voice was cold.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but follow his train of thought and think seriously.

How do you create opportunities?

What did the family members of Yin* do wrong? Let the imperial concubine fall out of favor? Or is it to make the power of the Ou family swell to the point of making the emperor uneasy?

It seems that it is possible, but it takes a long time and a lot of effort to do it seriously.

The district family can stand undefeated in the two dynasties and have its own way of survival; The imperial concubine is in her youth, and it is not so easy to make her fall out of favor; As for the expansion of the power of the district family, then the Xu family will have to give up, the question is, once they give up, it is still a question whether they can take it back.

It's hard to be left, it's hard to be right......

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh softly.

In the silence, this sigh is very clear and a little heavy.

Xu Lingyi thought that when she asked her "Are you afraid", she answered frankly.

"Don't be afraid!" He stretched out his hand and touched her head, "The Ou family has been operating in Fujian for more than 100 years, and although it is powerful, it has also done a lot of illegal things. As long as there is a heart, a spark can also start a prairie fire. ”

Eleven Niang was very surprised.

Listening to Xu Lingyi's tone, he actually wanted to fight against the district family in the image of suing the emperor...... That's not going to work. This is not a legal society, and the emperor's will is the key to success.

She couldn't help but say: "Master Hou, I think, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate......

"Oh!" Xu Lingyi said, "What's wrong!" ”

The tone was vaguely expectant, which surprised Shi Niang.

Could it be that Xu Lingyi really wants to hear his thoughts?

The thought flashed, and Eleven Niang said: "Since the emperor can't move the people of the district family at this time, you just launched the imperial envoy to impeach them, and the emperor is afraid that he will stay in the middle for the sake of the overall situation." Since the people of the Ou family can eat and eat, it means that they have already placed people in the palace, even if they are not the people they have installed, they also have powerful supporters, and I am afraid that the emperor's movements will not be able to hide from them. In case the grass startles the snake, it will not be so easy to move them again! ”
