Chapter 678: Take the initiative first, Ci'an is suspicious
The sandalwood in the side hall is floating, and the obvious flashy smell in the thick lingers, the silk handkerchief in Yijing's hand pressed the wet red corners of his eyes, and with the signal of the queen mother, he retreated to the lower side of the circle chair and sat down, which ended the narrative of a sinister experience, how to be secretly attacked, how to break through and escape, thrilling and dangerous, fortunately, he was rescued by Qi Jiatang in time, otherwise he was afraid of accidents.
At this time, she looked at Yu Feng with a smile in her eyes, and saw Yu Feng sitting next to her with a smile in her eyes, quite full of praise for her "acting skills", and raised her eyebrows lightly.
Just now, the Ming Huang Yunfeng Jin Tuan that Princess Chu bowed to the head of the Ji has been taken away, and the Qi family, as a rebel who has just been pardoned at this time, does not have the treatment on the prostrate brocade mat, and her knees can only kneel on the cold and hard dark blue brick surface, with her forehead on the ground, and she is not allowed to raise her head.
The Empress Dowager's arm was raised slightly, and with the word "no courtesy" in the inner chamberlain's sharp voice, Qi straightened his waist, of course he didn't dare to stand, and he listened to "raise his head", and he didn't dare to look at the Empress Dowager, only raised his cheeks slightly, and his eyes remained low.
Let's look at the etiquette and demeanor first, in fact, it is not very in line with the palace etiquette, but Qi's as a grass lady is not a wife, and the empress dowager does not expect her to behave decently, so after looking at it, seeing that this woman is in her early thirties, thick eyebrows and apricot eyes, plump chin and thin lips, of course, her complexion is not as smooth as that of well-maintained ladies, but slightly revealing honey, but it is not reckless and rude, and she is generally quite humble, the empress dowager has a little satisfaction in her heart, but as soon as she opened her mouth to ask, her tone was not gentle.
"Qi, do you know that the abduction of the princess is a heavy responsibility for threatening the imperial court!"
When Yijing was in the suburbs of Chuzhou, she got along with the Qi family for a few days, and later returned to the palace, and when she confessed with her in private, she knew that this woman was very determined and witty, so she was not worried at this time.
Sure enough, I saw Qi bowing in response, and his forehead was against the green brick, but the reply was clear and clear: "The sinner knows it, but there is indeed something unspeakable, and I hope that the mother will forgive...... The parents and ancestors of the sin woman are not willing to join the same stream with the remnants, in order to survive, only seek to hide in the mountains and fields to live by farming, it is easy to ask for food and clothing, but they are helpless and forced to rob by the remnants, the sinner's father and ancestors are killed, only the sinner's orphan daughter is left alone, and she can escape under the cover of the tribe. ”
"Yu sin coerced the sinner to conspire with him, and wanted to kidnap the princess of Chu to do something threatening, but the sinner was unwilling to be persecuted, so she compromised openly and secretly rescued the princess, intending to make redress for the crime with merit."
"When the sinner woman saved the princess in her hand, she wanted to contact the king of Chu, but she didn't know that it coincided with the death of the first emperor and the national funeral, and it was really difficult to take advantage of her wishes."
"There are also unknown people who have come into contact with the remnants, and when the sinner woman heard about it, she actually asked them to try their best to hunt down the princess and kill people."
Although the Empress Dowager had heard Yu Feng's words, she still couldn't help but be solemn at this time.
What Yijing said earlier is as follows - on the day of the death of the first emperor, she and the old princess returned to the city and were attacked, and they fought their way out of the siege under the cover of their own soldiers, but it was difficult to get rid of the pursuers, and they were in a desperate situation, but a black-clothed and masked group suddenly rushed out and rescued her and Xia Ke, of course, it was Qi Jiatang, Qi Shi did his best to appease Yijing that day, saying that she had no malicious intentions and was bound to protect Yijing back to the city, and only hoped that Yijing could ask the Heavenly Family to forgive Qi Jiatang's guilt, so that they could get rid of their guilt, and they could be protected by Dalong's law, and strive for a place to live.
It turned out that this group of people also planned to be unfavorable to the princess, but they were preempted by Yu Sin, so they coerced and lured to persuade Yu Xin to use it, and once they found out about the princess's traces, they would not be forgiven.
"The sinner's voice told the man that if the princess could be killed, the master behind her would not only forgive the remnant of her previous sins, but also grant her an official position, but if the remnant of the sin did not come, or if she knew the princess's whereabouts and did not confess, she would be washed and exterminated in blood." Qi also said: "The sinner woman was frightened, and immediately speculated that the identity of this person was not trivial, although she also had the intention of handing over the princess to Bo Grace for forgiveness, but she was afraid that she would be killed afterwards, and after thinking about it, she still did not dare to act rashly. ”
"Because the princess has been hidden by the sinner, and the remnants cannot be found, the man proposed that the remnants use the princess as bait to lure the prince into danger alone, and kill the maidservants around the princess on the spot, and then use the destroyed body to pretend to be the princess, even if the prince does not fall for the plan and escapes for his life, he will think that the princess has died."
"Later, the royal palace soldiers killed the remaining sinners present, but the mysterious man did not help according to the prior agreement, fortunately, the sinner woman had already been on defense, so she could secretly escape, and she no longer dared to believe the words of the mysterious man, but because the remaining sin still existed, she might be protected by the powerful, and the sinner did not dare to be careless."
"The sinner no longer wants to be coerced by the remnants of iniquity, so she has another plan, temporarily hiding the princess, and exposing the clue that the princess was captured for the remnants to the king of Chu, hoping that the king of Chu can ask for a holy decree to exterminate the remnants of the sins, and then return to the princess, and implore that the merit can be atoned."
"The Empress Dowager knows that the sinner has a last resort, so she 'please go' the princess in the mountains and wait for a while, the sinner does not dare to slow down the princess, in addition to restricting freedom, she has never hurt the princess at all, the sinner is single-minded, it is nothing more than to completely get rid of the entanglement of the remnants of sin, to get a household registration to live in peace, only to protect the princess, there is a glimmer of hope."
This explains why the Qi clan did not show up to ask for forgiveness until Yu Feng was ordered to go to the domain to eliminate the remnants of the clan after rescuing Yijing Nian.
Of course, the so-called "mysterious person" who coerced and lured the remnants of evil was purely imaginary, and Yu Feng's arrangement had other meanings.
First, if there is no "mysterious person" to intervene in it, the Qi family can immediately contact Yu Feng, ask for forgiveness, and from then on be protected by the law, no longer have to be afraid, only the appearance of the "mysterious person" can cause Qi's jealousy, fear of being persecuted by the "same party" afterwards, so it must cause the remnants of the blood to be wiped out, in order to avoid future troubles, and further requested, in order to prevent people from plotting, the pardon is still insufficient, and it is expected that the king of Chu can help her family stay away from Dalong to live in a foreign country, so as to lead to the matter of Xiaoxiao.
Second, although this "mysterious person" has a vague face and an unknown surname of Qi, Yu Feng will not speculate in vain, but he has already caused psychological hints to the Empress Dowager-
Someone planned to kidnap the old princess and Yijing in advance, what is the picture? is nothing more than to coerce the Su and Chu governments to help them seize the throne, and the "mysterious man" is obviously among several princes.
But the subtle thing is that after the death of the first emperor and the successful accession of King Qing to the throne, someone immediately wanted to buy the remnants, intending to take the life of the princess.
This means that this person no longer needs to use his mouth to threaten the two prefectures of Su and Chu.
So who must buy Yijing's life?
The answer is obvious - when the princess is missing, who is jumping up and down, trying to marry the Chu Palace, and let her daughter replace Yijing to become Concubine Yu Feng?
The Empress Dowager naturally wouldn't think that the Qin family alone had such courage and ability.
She recalled again that when the first emperor was sick, wouldn't the noble concubine Chen have the intention to move, and wanted to edict Yijing to enter the palace and ask her to join forces with Princess Qing to embroider what kind of Raush screen?
This time the beginning and the end are corresponding, and the Queen Mother has already made up her mind in her heart.
A chill filled his chest - if the first emperor had no intention of letting Shiro succeed to the throne, then he was planning to force the palace to usurp power, although the empress dowager knew that the Son of Heaven was greedy when he was in the hidden palace, but when she realized that her grandson was born early with the heart of "rebelling against his father and against the king", his heart was naturally not too happy.
But of course, the Empress Dowager wouldn't say this, and she didn't even show her expression, she first asked the Qi family to retreat, let out a long sigh, and looked at Yu Feng and Yijing: "No matter what, Jing Yatou can return safely, and the mourning family is finally relieved...... Fortunately, the remnants of sin have been exterminated by Feng'er, and they deserve it. "I didn't mention the "mystery man" either.
"Feng'er, I won't hide it from you, the saint has no intention of pardoning the Qi family, but the mourning family is unwilling to risk the situation for the sake of these remnants, so it is easy to persuade the saint." Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager paused slightly.
Yu Feng immediately got up and took a long look, and Yi Jing naturally stood up and was deeply blessed.
"Niangniang, the ministers implore Niangniang to reach a forgiveness because the princess was pregnant when she was rescued by the Qi family."
The Empress Dowager was surprised.
"Niangniang, the concubine gave birth to a daughter in the winter of the old year, but because the Qi family was worried, she ...... hid the little girl in another place, and asked the people of Qijiatang to be really resettled by the imperial court, and her husband and wife could live in a foreign country, so they were willing to return the little girl. Yijing also said with tears in her eyes.
Qijiatang also has nearly 100 people, and in order to prevent them from forming a party again, the imperial court will inevitably disperse and resettle, and it will take at least two or three months to operate.
So he said preemptively: "Although the subordinate agreed to the Qi family, but did not give up the secret investigation, Qi Jiatang is hidden on the southwest border, once the Qi family is exposed, if the little girl is collected around it is not safe, so the minister guessed that the Qi family is very likely to have sent the little girl to the border alliance."
Xiliang is also one of them.
"But the minister did not find the news of the little girl, and in order to be safe, I implore the mother and the saint to forgive the Qi family hall."
In fact, at this time, the Son of Heaven has already made a fate, and of course he will not go back on the surface, but he may secretly liquidate and destroy Qi Jiatang, although the Son of Heaven and Qi Jiatang have no life and death grudges, but they can take the opportunity to plant on Yu Feng's head, causing Yijing to be persecuted by Cao Kou Yu Feng to retaliate or extinguish his mouth afterwards, so as to sit on the truth that Yijing "has lost his innocence" and forced the King of Chu to divorce his wife.
Yu Feng emphasized pardon at this time, and the implication was that he hoped that the Empress Dowager would hand over the placement of Qi Jiatang to him, and of course he would be sure not to let the Son of Heaven find out and assassinate him.
Naturally, when Zhou Quan can be placed is also controlled by Yu Feng, which also grasps the best time to take Xiaoxiao back.
This request was not difficult, the Empress Dowager immediately agreed, and even offered to hand over the Qi family and his wife to the Chu Palace, and no longer accept the questioning of others, including the Son of Heaven.
The first battle was won, everything was in Yu Feng's plan, but he was not sure that Yijing would be safe and sound, and the Son of Heaven would not find an excuse to question his "innocence", but the Son of Heaven did not act, Yu Feng could not open his mouth at this time to beg the Empress Dowager to protect, expose the Son of Heaven's unpredictable heart, and expose that he had a plan to deal with it, even if the Empress Dowager wanted to protect Yijing, the Son of Heaven was her own grandson, and there was a difference between relatives and relatives.
And at this time, the Empress Dowager Chen heard the news and rushed to Ci'an Palace to appease Yijing, naturally she wanted to ask about the incident carefully, but Yijing didn't have time to answer, and was blamed by the Empress Dowager: "The mourning family has asked the Qi family, and Jing Yatou has many of her timely rescues, although the Qi family is guilty, it has not harmed Jing'er, the saint has already had a forgiveness will, and the mourning family has ordered Feng'er to settle Qi's family hall, and this matter is over, and it is not appropriate to mention it again." ”
This is also a hint to Yu Feng and Yijing, don't be careful and frank, especially the existence of "mysterious people".
The Queen Mother was choked by these words, and there was a feeling of annoyance in her chest, and she secretly sneered - the Queen Mother really wanted to protect the Su family in order to pull the Weiguo Mansion, but fortunately, her father and the saint had already planned, and things should be done step by step, and the Su family should be allowed to be allowed for a while.
So he smiled gently: "The concubine today is a greeting, and then there is also a happy event, the concubine and sister-in-law intend to marry Liulang to marry the Su family's six mothers, and the two families have initially reached a good marriage, the concubine and sister-in-law plan to ask for a marriage grace, the concubine has agreed, and the two children's Geng post will be handed over to the Qin Tianjian Bu Ji, and the result is a good match made in heaven." ”
Chen Liulang? A vague corridor appeared in Yijing's mind, and she didn't feel that there was anything "lacking" in this person for a while, but she already knew at this time that under Yu Feng's secret operation, Senator Chen had fallen to the Empress Dowager, and she was not in harmony with the Empress Dowager, but why did the Empress Dowager match her sixth sister to marry the son of the Senator? There must be a conspiracy in this.
She glanced at Yu Feng first, and when she saw that her eyes were full of scheming, she looked at the Queen Mother again, who was also frowning slightly.
"Liuniang's marriage, I still have to discuss with Shangyuan, I can't be in a hurry." The Empress Dowager was not angry, but said.
Empress Dowager Chen didn't seem to be disappointed, because she concluded that the Empress Dowager would inevitably promote this marriage in order to further win the eldest brother's loyalty, and the eldest princess would definitely not be satisfied, but the Huang family had sent the Liuniang Gengti, and the Empress Dowager would understand, would the eldest princess be stubborn and bear the name of "regretting marriage"? Even if the Su family is prominent, the Chen family is not easy to bully at this time, the Huang family has always been the biological mother of Liuniang, of course, she can be the main daughter's marriage, and the eldest princess has to take care of etiquette and law.
Seeing the confrontation between Ci'an and Shoukang, Yi Jing was very suspicious, but she didn't have a chance to communicate with Yu Feng, so she was sent by the queen and couldn't wait to go to Kunren Palace to humiliate and kill Wei.
