The day after the news broke, Izuku ordered a thorough investigation of all the cooks in Zhiyanxuan's kitchen. After checking and checking, I finally found out that the person who drugged her and Shen Yu's dinner that day happened to be the cook she invited back from outside to make soup! That is, the chef who made different soups in the dining room of Rong Jin Tang last year!

The world is really ironic and ridiculous!

A year ago, she inadvertently brought this cook back to Zhiyanxuan, and in front of Mrs. Tai and the various rooms, she used a bowl of soup to make herself "slippery" and then blame Zhuoyan, forcing out the true face of the second room, and also causing Yunqi to be castrated and wronged;

A year later, Erfang also used this cook to drug himself, which successfully made Shen Yu take the bait, and also allowed Yun Xiangrong to achieve the goal of getting married.

The same cook, coming and going between himself and the second room, last time he helped himself in disguise, this time he helped the second room.

Izumi was originally angry and wanted to find out who was drugged, but when she really found it, she couldn't bear to let him go. In addition to feeling sarcastic and ridiculous, she is really powerless.

It can only be said that Yun Xiangrong pinched his pulse too accurately this time, and even if he found a cook, he had to "repay the other party in his own way", so that Xiu remembered the end of burning Yan and Yunqi. Regardless of the character of the people in the second room for the time being, just the fact that two people died in vain, and one of them burned Yan or two lives, this indisputable fact is enough to make Chu Xiu feel guilty.

Therefore, this time, no matter whether Shen Yu and Yun Xiangrong's marriage is successful or not, the matter of drugging Xiu can no longer be investigated. She thought that she should be grateful to Shen Yu, after all, once this incident passed, she would no longer owe the second room! They're finally clear!

But what she owes Shen Yu is more and more, and it will be difficult to repay it in the end...... Perhaps, if she can help him escape from Fangzhou, she will feel better!

Izuku finally decided to implement the plan in advance, and immediately went to Rongjintang to have a secret conversation with Mrs. Tai.

*****

"You want the Yun clan to support King Mu to take the throne?" Rao is face does not change when Mrs. Taishan collapses on weekdays, but after listening to Xiu's straightforward report, she can't help but be a little surprised at this moment.

Izuku looked very calm, and replied: "Since our Yun clan has abandoned Beixi, we must attach to Nanxi." Now the dispute between the two kings is revealed, either King Fu wins or King Mu wins. Instead of sitting back and waiting, let's take the initiative. I believe that if the Yun clan supports which prince, this prince will have a greater chance of winning. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, the Yun family is one of the heroes, and at least he can keep the palace safe. ”

Izuku looked at Mrs. Tai very honestly, and the latter was also looking at the former seriously. After a while, Mrs. Tai's wise and shrewd gaze moved away from Chuxiu, and she only said lightly: "I thought that you would choose to support Shen Yu's brother-in-law, the fourth prince Fuwang." ”

With just this sentence, Izumi has understood that he has not hidden anything from Mrs. Tai. What is the truth about Shen Yu and Yun Xiangrong, Mrs. Tai must have guessed it, and she also knew that she didn't report it.

can be one yard to one yard, helping Shen Yu is helping Shen Yu, and Xiu can't ignore the Yun family's family business: "I chose to support King Mu for a reason." First, Lixinhou's Mansion is in Fangzhou, which is the fief of King Mu, and if you want to skip him to support King Fu, I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it. ”

Izuku paused and said: "Second, King Fu is known for his benevolence and outstanding governance; King Mu is a man of horses and has outstanding military achievements. If it were a peaceful and prosperous era, King Fu would have a greater chance of winning, but now the north and south are in turmoil...... If you want to compete in troubled times, you must win by force. King Mu has a high prestige in the army, even if he hands over the tiger talisman and no longer interferes in military affairs, I think he must have other ways. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but say, "You're right. But King Mu's mother was born in a low position, and she was still a widow who had been married, and because of her beauty, she was favored by Emperor Nie, who was slightly subdued, and she gave birth to King Mu. Because of this, Emperor Nie has always paid little attention to King Mu, and later sent him to the army early, and he didn't expect him to have such a meritorious service. On the contrary, King Fu's maternal family is more prominent, so it is not known which of these two princes will win. ”

Mrs. Tai narrowed her eyes, as if she knew the ruler of Nanxi very well: "Emperor Nie of Tongsheng is just a mediocre man who thinks too highly, and his vision has never been accurate. ”

"Having said that, but now that Beixi has died in the country, and the Chen clan has called Beixuan on the battlefield, if Nanxi lets King Fu succeed to the throne, and there is no successor in the army, wouldn't it be necessary to watch Beixuan annex Nanxi?" Izumi looked at Mrs. Tai: "Even if Emperor Nie is mediocre and doesn't like King Mu anymore, he won't understand this truth." With the character of King Mu, how could he be willing to live under the people, and be born and die on the battlefield for the sake of the kingdom of the blessed king? ”

Xu said this to Mrs. Tai's heart, but seeing her nodding, she added, "You are right." However, the Marquis of Wenchang must support King Fu, and if Shen Yu really marries Xiangrong, it can be regarded as a relationship with the Yun family. At that time, if King Fu ascends the throne, Shen Yu's sister will be the queen, and the Shen family will become a descendant, and the status will naturally be very different. For the sake of our in-law relationship with Shen Yu, presumably King Fu will not be too embarrassed by the Yun family...... Left and right is to contribute some money and business out. ”

Hearing this, Izumi knew that Mrs. Tai was moved by what she said, and she was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed: "I also mean this." ”

Mrs. Tai smiled meaningfully: "Do you have another meaning?" If King Mu ascends the throne in the end, Shen Yu is the son-in-law of the Yun family, King Mu will spare his life for the sake of our face. ”

Hearing this, Izuku lowered his eyes deeply and did not dare to answer.

"It's human nature. What's more, Shen Yu treats you well, and it is understandable that you rely on each other to save each other's lives. Mrs. Tai still smiled, but her voice changed: "However, if one day, the Marquis of Wenchang Mansion and my Yunfu are hostile, how should you deal with yourself?" ”

The Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion was hostile to Yunfu...... Out of Xiu's heart "chuckled", and hurriedly expressed his heart: "Don't worry, if there is really that day...... I am the daughter-in-law of the Yun family, so I naturally attach importance to the Yun family. ”

When Mrs. Tai got this promise, she nodded with satisfaction, and then sighed lightly: "I'm just making an analogy." If Shen Yu really likes you, and for the sake of Ci'er's face, he will not let the two families come to this point. Neither will you. ”

Yes, both Zhuxiu and Shen Yu will not let the Marquis of Wenchang Mansion and the Marquis of Lixin Mansion have a day of confrontation.

"Since you have decided to support King Mu, it is up to you to contact him on this matter. You are young and a new widow, even if you say something inappropriately, King Mu will not be more serious with you. If you can't talk, it's not too late for my old woman to come out in person. Mrs. Tai looked relieved and handed over the power to Chuxiu.

After all, it was his own idea to support King Mu, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to secretly send Shen Yu out, so it should be that he went to King Mu's mansion to talk secretly. Izumi gritted her teeth and responded: "My daughter-in-law obeys." ”

"You don't refuse now, it's good, this is the style of a housewife." Mrs. Tai finally laughed from the bottom of her heart: "My Hongzha warrant has been handed down, and within a month, the people of the Yun clan in the north and south will know that you are the new head of the house." ”

For this matter, Izuku has long been mentally prepared. No matter whether the road ahead is flat or full of thorns, for the sake of Yun Ci, she will go forward to protect the Yun clan.

If the clouds are in the sky, there is a spirit...... I'll bless her, too. Bless her, and also shelter from the Xinhou Mansion. Izuku always believed that there were ghosts and gods in this world, although she could only meet Yun Ci in a dream, but she knew that it was not just a dream, it was Yun Ci watching her from the sky, so she would come to this day smoothly.

Thinking about it, Izumi was about to cry again. Even though I have cried countless times in my dreams, wet through countless pillows, the pain in my heart has never been alleviated, and it is destined to be difficult to heal for life!

"Why are you crying again? Your tears have not broken all day. Seeing this, Mrs. Tai smiled and reprimanded impatiently: "Everything is worth your crying, and one day you will cry blind!" I'm not afraid of Cheng'er watching jokes! ”

Hearing Mrs. Tai's unkind tone, Chuxiu hurriedly wiped away her tears again, pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to admit her mistake.

Mrs. Tai said "um" at this time: "When are you going to visit King Mu to discuss this matter?" ”

Izuku thought for a while: "The sooner the better, it's the beginning of June...... I'm ready to go by the end of June at the latest. ”

Mrs. Tai agreed, and asked her, "How do you negotiate terms with King Mu?" And how can you support him? ”

This question, Chu Xiu is already confident: "The most coveted thing about the Yun family, in addition to fame, is the family business. King Mu's move must be carried out in secret, our reputation is of no use to him for the time being, and if he ascends the throne in the future, it will not be too late for us to publicly surrender. I think that King Mu needs the most money support now. ”

"You're right." Mrs. Tai nodded again in agreement: "If King Mu wants to win the heir, he will inevitably have to spend a lot of money, especially the cost of raising soldiers and staff. You can give him money in exchange for a promise, and if he succeeds in winning the heir, let him ensure the longevity of my Yun clan; If he loses the succession, he will not be allowed to confess to us. ”

"I see." Out of Xiu to receive the order.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Tai didn't speak again for a long time, she closed her eyes slightly, and seemed to have made a great determination before saying: "If the negotiation is completed, I will tell you how to open the treasure under the lotus pond in Jingyuan, where there are nearly forty percent of the Yun family's wealth, which is enough for him." ”

"Forty percent! So much! Izuku exclaimed in a low voice.

"How big is the Quiet Garden, how many gold bars can be dug up by digging seven feet into the ground. How many do you say? Mrs. Tai's tone was extremely proud.

Chu Xiu couldn't imagine how much gold and silver was hidden under the lotus pond in Jingyuan, and she could only admire at this moment.

At this point, Mrs. Tai reminded Xiu as if she remembered something: "If you want to talk to King Mu, you might as well start with the side concubine he newly married." ”

A newly married side concubine? "You mean Beixi's famous prostitute?" Izuku asked rhetorically.

"It's her." Mrs. Tai suddenly lowered her voice: "King Namu is also an infatuated lover, and he likes Luan Su very much. As far as I know, Luan Shu used to be the daughter of the official eunuch of Beixi, and she escaped death and fell into the dust when she raided her house, so she became a woman in the Qinglou. ”

Out of Xiu suddenly, but he still didn't understand what this matter had to do with Luan Shu, and why he wanted to have a relationship with Luan Shu.

was puzzled, but did he know that Mrs. Tai still had a later word: "Luan Shu's original name was 'Ling Yun', and he took his parents' surname as his name." Her father is Ling Ke, and her mother's name is Yun Feiyan, who is a side branch of the Yun family, and has a close relationship with the Lixin Hou Mansion. Yun Feiyan's father is the half-brother of the old marquis, and he is also the aunt of Ci'er. In this way, we and Luan Shu are also close relatives......"

After hearing this, Izuku understood what Mrs. Tai meant. Since King Mu likes Luan, he will definitely miss her mother...... That is, the Yun family. He and Luan Shu have fallen into the dust, and they are of the same age, if they have no results in discussing with King Mu, they can have a friendship with Luan Shupan!

After listening to the news about Luan's long-cherished life experience, Izuku finally woke up-

In fact, Mrs. Tai has long had the idea of supporting King Mu! Otherwise, how could he be so concerned about his side concubine! This time, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought of it together!

"Rest assured, I know what to do."
