Chapter 223: There is no way to eliminate this situation (3)
Izuxiu's tone was very firm, and with a kind of detachment in his eyes that saw through the world, he continued to say to Mrs. Tai: "The Yun family has never had the ambition to take charge of the country, at most it is just the pursuit of wealth and glory. Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Yun clan and the Heavenly Grant Emperor are evenly matched, or if we rebel and win, do you really want to be a female emperor? Or, who do you think has the power to guide the country? ”
"So, you deliberately showed weakness in front of him?" Mrs. Tai narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this, and her sharp gaze shot at Chu Xiu: "Your method is too cowardly!" ”
"It's not about showing weakness, it's about knowing how to take advantage of your own weaknesses and those of the other party." Chuxiu was not in a hurry or slow, and calmly analyzed: "The weakness of the Heavenly Emperor is that he looks down on women, and he also eats soft rather than hard. And the weakness of the Yun clan is that the tree is very popular, and it is easy to be feared by the emperor. Since ancient times, kings and ministers have fought each other, and courtiers have never had a good end, unless it is a rebellion. If you don't want to rebel, you don't need to disobey the emperor, otherwise you will fight for face and glory, and at the same time, you will bury endless hidden dangers. ”
"Then you mean to say that I will do what he wants, and bow down before him?" Mrs. Tai's face was resentful: "My old woman has nothing, only money and dignity, and wants me to bow to him, don't say that I don't agree, where will the faces of the ancestors of the Yun family go?" ”
"So you don't have to bow to him, I'm going to bow down." Izumi said lightly his thoughts: "In front of the Emperor of Heaven, you sing white face and I sing red face, so it is seamless." Even if outsiders investigate it, I am originally a servant girl, and it is reasonable to be cowardly, and it is also to pave the way for Cheng'er. In the future, the two of them became brothers-in-law, and there were some things that I could easily talk about. ”
mentioned the word "brother-in-law", Mrs. Tai still felt a burst of annoyance: "You said it lightly, now that this marriage can't be completed, what else do you mention 'brother-in-law'!" ”
"Nope! The marriage was consummated. Out of Xiuqing smiled lightly, and said very little about Emperor Tianzhu's visit to Danxin halfway, and also mentioned that he asked to enter the palace as a female official.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tai was very surprised, she didn't expect that Danxin would have such a relationship with Emperor Tianzhi. Mrs. Tai fell into deep thought, and only after a long time did she look at Chuxiu, and said ruthlessly: "Danxin is your person, and it is up to you to decide whether she enters the palace or not." ”
"Mother!" Izumi was quite surprised when she heard this, she originally thought that Mrs. Tai would definitely seize this opportunity and let Danxin enter the palace to plan for the Yun family......
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tai only smiled slightly, and said half-sarcastically and half-sincerely: "Now that you know how to 'overcome rigidity with softness', what am I worried about?" Even if you don't enter the palace with a low heart, you must have a way to convince the Emperor of Heaven. It's not like me, an old woman, who only 'hits hard'. ”
"You've tormented me." Izumi hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to say anything more. Even though she could figure out the temperament of the Heavenly Emperor, she still couldn't figure out what Mrs. Tai was thinking. Is Mrs. Tai for or against everything? Is it pleasant or unpleasant? Izumi never asked himself, and he never grasped it.
originally thought that this conversation would end with a faint entry into the palace, but when it came to this, Mrs. Tai suddenly changed the topic, and turned back to the original intention of Izuxiu, and asked bluntly: "You haven't told me yet, how is Shen Yu's injury now?" ”
Izuku's cheeks turned red: "The person is awake and has no worries about his life." ”
"Shen Yu is about to return to Beijing with Nie Qi, but now he was suddenly attacked, can you think about how to talk to Nie Qi about this?" Mrs. Tai asked again, and there seemed to be a bit of watching a play in that tone.
When Chu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but bury his head lower, and he didn't even dare to raise his eyes to look at Mrs. Tai: "I...... I haven't figured out a rhetoric yet. ”
"You might as well make a fuss about Nie Qi." Mrs. Tai smiled meaningfully, and hinted, "Half-truths and half-truths are the most believable." ”
"I ...... I see. "Izuku seems to understand whether he understands or not.
Mrs. Tai's face was like the weather in Yanlan City, and there was no warning when she said that she would change, but she was still gloomy and angry, and she was smiling high at the moment. She waved her hand casually at Chuxiu and instructed, "You're right, from now on, I'll sing white face and you will sing red face, bluffing Nie Qi." Without further ado, you should go to King Cheng's Mansion quickly. ”
Izumi also remembered that he wanted to tell Emperor Tianzhu about Shen Yu's injury, so he retired: "I'll go over now." Then he leaned over and bowed, and hurried out of Mrs. Tai's room.
It wasn't until Izumi left for a while that an elderly woman slowly walked out of the cubicle of the room, who was Madam Chi next to Mrs. Tai. But seeing her smiling and offering a cup of hot tea, she whispered to Mrs. Tai: "Now you should rest assured." ”
Mrs. Tai was already full of emotion at this time, and her face gradually became gloomy, where is there still the sharp and shrewd talent? just shook his head and sighed: "Izumi's temperament is becoming more and more like resignation." ”
"You should be comforted, it's time to hand over the burden completely." Chi's mother took the opportunity to persuade.
Mrs. Tai only shook her head slowly: "Tie her to Yunfu, what face will I have to see her after a hundred years?" Let her go with Shen Yu. As she spoke, she gently placed the sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hand on the desk, as if letting go of a deep obsession.
Resentment will be, love parting, can't ask for ...... Believe in the generosity of fate, and no longer cling to these tragic things, so that you can be at ease. Mrs. Tai said this sentence silently to herself, and at the same time, she was also saying Xiu.

Leaving Rongjin Hall, he went straight to King Cheng's mansion, and he didn't even have time to send the post. Heavy rain overnight made the roads muddy and waterlogged, and even though the carriage in Yunfu was wide and comfortable, it sank into the mud several times. But Izuku was not impatient, but took the opportunity to think about a lot of things in the carriage.
When I arrived at the gate of King Cheng's mansion, it was almost lunch time. The coachman reported her name, and the housekeeper of King Cheng's Mansion immediately welcomed her in, without a trace of difficulty. The butler's smiling face made Izuku feel extremely restrained, and she had the illusion that the butler had seen her as the mistress of King Cheng's mansion.
This realization made Chu Xiu more and more uncomfortable, she thought that she had never given Nie Peixiao any hope, and she did not dare to try to climb up to His Royal Highness King Cheng, who was so noble. Especially after last night's "skin-to-skin blind date" with Shen Yu...... She didn't want to bear the double betrayal of Yun Ci and Shen Yu.
Although last night's love attempt ended in Shen Yu's blood loss coma, she was finally able to face it bravely, and she solemnly made a promise.
Thinking about it like this, she also refused to see Nie Peixiao, not to mention that there was a storm last night, Nie Peixiao must have suffered a recurrence of her shoulder injury and recuperated on the couch, so why should she bother him again?
In fact, Yanlan City has a warm and humid climate, rainy seasons, especially abundant rain in summer, which is not suitable for Nie Peixiao to live here for a long time. But why did he choose this place? Every time I think of the reason, I sigh a long way.
I'm afraid she won't be able to pay off this love debt...... With such emotion, I went straight to ask Emperor Tianzhu. The latter happened to be free at this time, so he didn't let Xiu wait too long.
The two met, and before Xiu could speak, Emperor Tianzhu had already taken the lead in asking with a smile: "Madame is here for a calm heart?" ”
Izuku had to reply truthfully: "I don't know what you mean...... The concubine didn't have time to mention it to her. ”
"I thought it was my wife who was reluctant to enter the palace with a low heart, so she came to refuse me." Emperor Tianzhu said again, although he was charming and smiling, but that smile had a different taste, and people couldn't tell whether they were happy or angry.
"No, the concubine is here for General Shen." Izuku didn't beat around the bush, and said frankly: "Last night...... He was assassinated in Yunfu. ”
"Assassinated?" The Heavenly Emperor's narrow phoenix eyes immediately gathered a sharp light, and at the same time, he raised his right hand and straightened the cuff of his left hand.
Izuku had observed it many times, and found that this was an action that the Heavenly Emperor often did, and every time he made this action, it proved that he was thinking, or rather, he was wondering.
On the way here, Chuxiu thought of a lot of words, how to mention Shen Yu's injury? With the suspicious character of the Emperor of God, if there is no convincing reason for him, he will definitely be suspicious. Therefore, this statement is very important, not only to convince Emperor Tianzhu that Shen Yu is really injured, but also to convince him that this matter has nothing to do with Yunfu.
After all, the time of Shen Yu's injury was too coincidental, Emperor Tianzhu had just left Yunfu, and he had just ordered him to lead the army back to Beijing before leaving...... Shen Yu was injured at this juncture, and there was inevitably a suspicion of staying under the pretext of staying there.
Staying for an excuse is a taboo for leading troops.
Izuku raised his eyes to look at the Heavenly Emperor, and his tone was indisputable: "He was assassinated and injured in my Zhiyan Xuan, and not long after you left. She deliberately made this matter unclear, trying to create an illusion for the Heavenly Emperor.
Sure enough, the Heavenly Emperor Feng's eyes suddenly tightened, and he looked at Chuxiu sharply: "Madam is saying...... Shen Yu was assassinated in Zhiyanxuan? ”
Izumi nodded, forced himself to suppress the meaning of his heart, and his words seemed to be meaningful: "Moreover, the place where he was assassinated was outside the courtyard of Danxin." ”
Emperor Tianzhu's face became even heavier when he heard this, and he looked Xiu up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, as if to see whether what she said was true or false.
I can't tell the truth, and I have to send it when I am ready to fly. So she also made a cautious expression and continued: "Before you left last night, you asked to enter the palace calmly. In the past, Danxin had served her late husband for many years, and she was also an old acquaintance with General Shen, so after hearing about this, General Shen went to visit Danxin with his concubine and wanted to inform her about it. ”
Izuku deliberately paused here for a moment, as if he was considering the wording: "Who knows that the light has been turned off and stopped." Seeing this, the concubine and General Shen did not bother anymore, and planned to inform the matter at a later date. As soon as she came out of her yard, there was a sudden rainstorm in the sky...... At this moment, two men in black appeared out of nowhere and stabbed Shen Yu......"
As he spoke, he observed Emperor Tianzhu's expression, and saw that his face was stagnant, and then said, "You left suddenly last night...... The concubine dared to guess that the person who attacked the sneak attack mistook General Shen for you......"
