Chapter 170: Careful Consideration (1)
Chapter 170: Careful Consideration (1)
Wei Nong suddenly thought of an important question: if Qi Zhan really wanted to compete for the position of prince, and Yunchen helped Wei Hou, the two of them were destined to be hostile! Thinking about it like this, Wei Nong felt a headache, she originally hoped that Qi Zhan could help her, but now it seems that she can't talk to him too much.
She was really afraid of something, as soon as she thought of Yunchen, she heard Qi Zhan ask: "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you, what are you gaining tonight?" ”
Wei Nong hurriedly lifted his spirit and shook his head: "No, I didn't see anything." ”
Qi Zhan thought for a moment, and then said, "Lord Shen Jue Shen, you should know each other too, right?" ”
Slightly stunned, lest he expose Shen Jue's former identity, and hurriedly said, "No, I don't know him." ”
"What are you worried about?" Qi Zhan was very helpless when he heard this: "The prince of Chu State, Yan Lang in the past, Shen Jue did not hide his true identity. On the contrary, it is his honesty that makes King Ning appreciate him very much, and I respect him very much. ”
Wei Nong was afraid of being tricked by him, but he remained silent.
"Princess Qingcheng, are you a three-year-old child? He was the greeting envoy of Yan Chu's marriage back then! Qi Zhan smiled and said again: "And you went to find him, he has already told me." ”
When Wei Nong heard this, although he relaxed his vigilance a little, he was still afraid of causing trouble to Shen Jue, so he asked ambiguously, "What are you mentioning him for?" ”
With his relationship with Chu Li, they all felt that Yunchen was deliberately imitating in order to impress Queen Jiang. Don't you believe in his eyesight? Qi Zhan asked rhetorically.
"Did you listen to Lord Shen's words to be sure that Yunchen has nothing to do with the Chu royal family?"
"Not only that, Yunchen's identity, origin, and who he inherited from him all have a clear source, and it can never be forged." Qi Zhan said firmly: "Unless the State of Chu can take all the national teachers and prime ministers of the Ning State for its own use, he has not known the prophet more than twenty years ago and fabricated such a person." Do you think it's possible? ”
Oh, yes! How is this possible? If the Chu State had this ability, how could it be easily defeated by the Yan State? These truths are slightly understood, but she just can't fully believe it, and she can't completely give up. Yunchen gave her the feeling that was too similar!
If he is really Chu Li, then he must have a last resort! She'll definitely help him! Even if he wants to subvert the royal power, even if he intends to restore the country, she will help to the end!
But if he wasn't Chu Li, if he was using the Chu royal family to achieve ulterior motives, then she would definitely not spare him! She will do her best to maintain the last vestige of dignity of the Chu royal family! Until she dies!
Thinking that she had been silent for too long, Qi Zhan couldn't wait any longer, and asked again: "I'm really afraid of you." So you're going to keep tracking? ”
Wei Nong's mind doubled several times before he replied firmly: "Hmm." I had to verify his identity myself. ”
"It's fine. Your words are the most convincing, and if it is found out that he has bad intentions, I will definitely make him look good. Qi Zhan said with a smile.
"But, what if he is really Chu Li? Or what about Chu Heng? Wei Nong asked.
Qi Zhan seemed to be asked, and thought for a long time: "That depends on his motives...... However, six years ago, Prince Chu let me go, and I will try my best to repay it. ”
With Qi Zhan's words, Wei Nong's heart was like a boulder finally falling to the ground, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she only said: "Okay, you wait for my news." ”
"You look nervous." Qi Zhan smiled again: "Don't worry, I'll help you." ”
"No!" Wei Nong hurriedly refused, and pulled his sleeves again: "You take care of yourself first, I can solve this matter." After she said this, she felt too blunt again, and hurriedly added: "Tonight...... Thank you very much. ”
"It's a big breath!" Qi Zhan made no secret of it: "He is a departed marquis, with a high position and power; You are alone and powerless, how can you approach him? How to check? ”
Wei Nong didn't want Qi Zhan to get involved in this matter, but he didn't think much about it. At this time, when he asked, he was stumped, so he could only say: "I have my own way." ”
Qi Zhan didn't say anything more, just stared at her again. The sharp gaze like a falcon made Wei Nong feel extremely empty, lest he see something, so he hurriedly lowered his head, trying to find some new topics.
"Why did you suddenly get separated?" Qi Zhan looked a little displeased.
Wei Nong thought about it, and let him misunderstand his own life is better than letting him guess that he has a weak heart, so he kept silent.
Qi Zhan suddenly sighed: "Whether you believe it or not, the days I miss the most over the years are those days in the Chu Palace." Later, I heard that you returned to Yan Kingdom and died of illness, and I also went to Qianxia Mountain to see your mausoleum...... Just before the assassination of Nie Xingyi. ”
These heartfelt words made Wei Nong very moved: "Thank you." ”
"It's still a shame." Qi Zhan solemnly stated: "I really don't have many friends, I don't want you to alienate me because I have changed my identity...... Weinong, I'd love to help you. ”
He said this, and if he refused, it would be really unkind. Wei Nong remembered his selfishness towards Yunchen, and also felt very ashamed of Qi Zhan, so he asked, "How do you want to help me?" ”
"What do you need? But what I can do. Qi Zhan replied.
Wei Nong thought for a moment: "In this way, you help me find a place to live, Yingluo and I can't stay in the Yingmen Inn all the time." ”
"Okay." Qi Zhan agreed, frowning again: "About Yingluo......"
"Let's let Yingluo live with me first! I can't get rid of her. Wei Nong knew what Qi Zhan meant.
"I know, you want to match us." Qi Zhan had to sigh: "Okay, for the sake of today, you take care of her for me first, I have to think about how to say to her." ”
"Okay."
*****
Wei Nong agreed to Qi Zhan and first concealed his identity from Yingluo, but she was not sure how long she could hide it. She only said that Qi Zhan had urgent matters to do in Lidu, and she would come to see them after she was done. For fear that Yingluo would not believe it, she also brought back Qi Zhan's handwritten letter.
This is an explanation, Yingluo finally regained a little vitality, and no longer crazy and noisy all day long to break into the palace of Ning. The two moved into the house arranged by Qi Zhan, each thinking about the big plan in their hearts.
Wei Nong had thought that Qi Zhan would never wronged the two of them, but she really didn't expect that the house Qi Zhan was looking for was so exaggerated. Although it is not as good as the Four Kings' Palace, nor is it as good as the Deer Garden, it is definitely a regulation that only high-ranking officials and dignitaries can live.
In Yingluo's words, "I walked from the front door to the back door for a full hour!" Counting the flowers and plants in the garden, it took another hour! It will take an hour to walk through all the houses."
As you can imagine, this house is spacious and complex. And the location is very good, located in the center of Jianzhangfang, a whole street is the private residence of the eunuchs.
Qi Zhan originally wanted to send a few servants and maids over, but was rejected by Wei Nong. One is worried about ruining her big things, and the other is that she and Yingluo don't like to shout and drink.
The two of them don't make a stove and start a fire, they eat in the restaurant every day, and all the food and clothing Qi Zhan has prepared, they only need to wash their clothes and sprinkle and sweep the courtyard. These little jobs, the two girls are handy, and they don't feel tired at all.
Everything is fine, except for one thing that makes Wei Nong very headache - this mansion is too far away from Yunchen's mansion! It's hard to even meet by chance! Not to mention giving her a chance to find clues! She had no choice but to go out early every morning, disguised as a peasant woman or a maid of a large family, wandering around Yunfu to investigate clues.
After going out early and returning late for more than ten days, she finally figured out Yunchen's daily whereabouts, and knew when he went out to the court every day, when he went back to the house for dinner, and where he went on weekdays. What surprised her the most was that Yunchen often lingered in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion of Ruyi Fang, and was even more fond of a brothel called "Wanxianglou", every time she went to Ruyifang, no matter where she went for entertainment, she must go to Wanxianglou.
It's a pity that Weinong is a female guest, and she can't enter the evening fragrance building at all, so she doesn't know what the scene is inside. But what is certain is that Yunchen never spends the night in Ruyi Fang, which can be regarded as a comforting place.
After observing like this for half a month, Yunchen's previous article of "good womanhood and sexual arrogance" seems to have been confirmed. But as for where the "arrogance" is, Weinong still hasn't seen it. She felt that Yunchen couldn't be kinder anymore, and even spoke to the doorman and the coachman kindly, but his sister was extremely arrogant.
Time came to the end of March in a blink of an eye, during which Qi Zhan came once, and tried to drive Yingluo away with coaxing and persuasion, but unfortunately with little success. Wei Nong was originally worried that Yingluo would be cranky, but later she found out that Yingluo was actually very good at having fun on her own, for example, she had been observing Yunchen in the dark, and there was no progress, so Yingluo would be anxious to give her advice.
At the beginning of April, Wei Nong became ill with some signs of water and soil adaptation, loss of appetite, vomiting, and dizziness. The doctor said that she was "recovering from a serious illness, depressed, and overworked", and told her to stay in bed to recuperate.
Wei Nong guessed that it was because his body bones had not fully recovered after detoxification, and he had been running on the road, which would lead to this minor illness. Finding out Yunchen's identity was not something that could be revealed in a moment, so she decided to raise her for a few days and think about what to do next.
This maintenance is not going out for four or five days, and Weinong happened to miss a major event - on the fourth day of the fourth month of April, Dexing Street, where Yunfu is located, went out of the water, and burned four houses in a row, and Yunfu happened to suffer.
It had been two days since Wei Nong heard the news, and she was so anxious to go out to inquire about the situation, but was stopped by Yingluo. In the end, the two discussed, and Yingluo went on her behalf. When the news came back, Yunfu was burned down for six or seven percent, and I was afraid that I would not be able to live in it, but fortunately, Yunchen was not in Lidu City at that time, and Yunxiao was not injured. Only then did Wei Nong settle down again.
On the eighth day of the fourth month, she saw that her body was almost raised, so she planned to go to the Yingmen Inn to find the shopkeeper to pass a message, and asked Qi Zhan to come out to meet her, wanting to ask where Yunchen had moved. As soon as he led the horse out of the door, he saw people coming in and out of the house next door, like a housewarming.
Wei Nong moved in for a month, and I have never seen anyone next door. However, there are mansions everywhere in Jianzhangfang, and it is normal for Xu to be uninhabited. She glanced into the next door, and without much thought, she turned over and rode away.
Wei Nong first went to leave a message for the shopkeeper of the Yingmen Inn, and then went to the ruins of Yunfu to take a look, and saw that the house was indeed burned badly, and the house that was not burned was also smoky, and according to Yun Xiao's temperament, it was impossible to live anymore.
I didn't go out for many days, and I almost forgot the hour, and when I returned to the mansion of Jianzhangfang, it was past noon. She rode on horseback, and before she reached the gate, she heard Yingluo's shouting in the distance, as if she was arguing with someone.
Wei Nong hurriedly hit the horse over, and found that it was not someone else who was arguing with Yingluo, but Yunchen's sister Yunxiao! At this moment, she was pointing at Yingluo and scolding: "What is your intention to buy the house next door to us?" ”
Yingluo crossed her arms and sneered: "It's really strange, we move in first, and you move in later, it's you with bad intentions, right?" ”
It turned out that Yunchen had moved next door! It's a no-brainer! Wei Nong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately went down to live in Yingluo, and persuaded: "Okay, we will all be neighbors in the future, let's get along in harmony." ”
Yingluo snorted coldly, obviously not buying a slightly thick account.
Yun Xiao also asked suspiciously: "With the shabby appearance of the two of you, can you afford this house?" I'm afraid it's someone else's slave, right? ”
Wei Nong was also calm, stroked the horse's mane, and said lightly: "Miss Yun, arguing on the street in broad daylight, I'm afraid it will affect you, right?" It doesn't matter if we are promoted to the small people, we are afraid that it will affect the prestige of the Lihou. ”
As soon as she said this, Yun Xiao's arrogance immediately weakened, swept her up and down, and said in annoyance: "How can I meet you anywhere?" It's really a narrow road! ”
Wei Nong was in a good mood, and he wanted to pull out a smile: "Since Miss Yun doesn't like us, let's not make the well water the river water in the future!" Why be angry? ”
Yun Xiao was dazzled by her smile, and stomped her foot angrily: "You look!" When my brother comes back from his errand, we'll move out immediately! Don't even try to get close to him, you women with evil intentions! ”
Yun Xiao's appearance at the moment was like a jealous woman, staring at Wei Nong and Yingluo vigilantly.
It turned out that Yunchen went out of the city on an errand! Wei Nong didn't have time to take care of Yun Xiao's mind at the moment, she was thinking of another thing - how could things be so coincidental? Just in time for her illness, Yunchen left Li Capital City; It was just that Yunchen was away for a few days, and Yunfu went to the water and moved next door to them! Could it be that Qi Zhan was helping her in secret?
