Chapter 236 Pretending to be confused
The old emperor died of a vicious disease in his previous life, now think about it, how could it be such a coincidence, Zhang Ruishun dared to do anything to kill his father and usurp the throne for the sake of a throne, and he was also out of the way, but with Queen Yun behind him, he should be so fearless, but it's a pity that when he meets her Qin Wan, Zhang Ruishun is destined not to go too well.
"By the way, the national teacher is coming back." Xiao Jingxing's inexplicable words brought back Qin Wan's thoughts.
"Xuanjizi?"
She's almost forgotten about it.
Xiao Jingxing was also confused and said: "The national teacher has been in retreat for six years, and he has finally come out. ”
Six years in retreat.
Qin Wan frowned.
They returned to Jiangnan on the front foot, and the national teacher retreated on the back foot.
Such a coincidence?
Qin Wan never believed in so-called coincidences.
However, Xuanjizi ......
She really hadn't seen through it.
In the previous life, Xuanjizi was a mysterious figure, I don't know where the old emperor came from, with a three-inch tongue, doing things that disturb the dynasty, plus, in the previous life, Xuanjizi was inseparable from her death and the destruction of the Protector's Mansion, so she was hostile to Xuanjizi.
In fact, what Qin Wan wants to know most is what is the relationship between Queen Yun and Xuan Jizi, Xuan Jizi will help her, if there is anything unseemly, it will be fun.
Qin Wan didn't think there was anything wrong with letting the old emperor cuckold, but simply felt that it was fun to have too many things.
"When will he return to Beijing?" Qin Wan asked in a low voice.
"It's probably half a month, the eunuch next to Xuanjizi has already entered the palace to deliver the message, Xuanjizi was out of the customs a few days ago, but there are some things to deal with."
"Something?" Jean-wan keenly grasped the point.
Xiao Jingxing said disdainfully: "That's what the eunuch said, it seems that Xuan Jizi had an epiphany when he was in retreat, and he studied two recipes for prolonging life, and was ready to give the saint alchemy. ”
"Alchemy?" Qin Wan frowned.
In her seal, the old emperor is not so mediocre, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, no one can escape, the destiny of heaven is difficult to change, and Xuan Jizi dares to say, is it difficult, he can still make the elixir of immortality?
If that's the case, Zhang Ruishun should be nervous.
Xuanjizi and Queen Yun can be together.
Wait a minute!
Elixir!
The problem must be with the elixir!
Zhang Ruishun borrowed the hand of Xuan Jizi to kill his father and usurp the throne!
But......
Qin Wan frowned.
The old emperor is not a person who is greedy for power, and he is not the kind of person who wants to live forever and sit on the dragon chair forever. The old emperor was wise, open-minded, and tough in the court, but in private, he was kind, open-minded, and very protective of her when facing her, not the kind of person who did something unrealistic because of some obsession.
The old emperor in his previous life was not addicted to pills, and he will not be in this life, so what is the purpose of Xuanjizi doing this?
Shaking his clueless head, Qin Wan said to Xiao Jingxing: "Do you know why the emperor's uncle is so ...... to Xuan Jizi Pampered? ”
Xiao Jingxing was also confused, and said inaccurately: "It is said that Xuan Jizi predicted several major events and resolved the crisis of the saint, so he won the trust of the saint." ”
"Such a god, I don't know if he can predict his fate." Qin Wan said bitterly.
Xiao Jingxing also looked disdainful, "It is said that Xuan Jizi is good at observing celestial phenomena, helping the Holy Lord resolve several natural disasters, and predicting the war at the border pass, so the Holy Lord is very convinced of his words." ”
After a pause, he looked at Qin Wan with a strange expression, "As far as I know, you and Zhang Ruishun divorced, and there is also a relationship between Xuanjizi. ”
"What does the county lord have to do with a stinky monk?" Qin Wan asked disappreciatively.
"He helped you speak, saying that your relationship with Zhang Ruishun is ominous."
"Ominous? What's in his way? Ominous is also ominous to me, and it has nothing to do with him," Qin Wan said angrily, "He is really idle and panicked, and he has nothing to do with my relatives." ”
Xiao Jingxing also felt the same way, Qin Wan and Xuan Jizi had no intersection, so he couldn't interfere in this matter.
That's not right!
Qin Wan blinked.
Xuanjizi and Queen Yun are in a group, and they are also in a group with Zhang Ruishun, how could they help her quit this family business?
Or is it that Queen Yun just took advantage of the trend and picked up Qin Mingyue?
There are too many things to have no clue, Qin Wan only feels that things seem to be getting more and more complicated, but the only thing that is certain is that her relationship with Zhang Ruishun, even if there is no Xuanjizi to intervene, will still retreat, compared to Xuanjizi, she is more important in the heart of the old emperor.
Balancing the imbalance, Qin Wan changed the subject, "Business is good at the brothel. ”
"Thanks to Jiaojiao, this month's dividend, I don't want my share."
So good?
Qin Wan deliberately looked at Xiao Jingxing exaggeratedly.
Xiao Jingxing said: "I thought about it carefully, the brothel can be said to be the most important one in our common industry, so you are in charge of the silver, I am in charge of the news, what do you think of Jiaojiao?" ”
"Forget it." Qin Wan is good, she is very clear in some things, she and Xiao Jingxing are cooperative relations, it is her interests, no one is missing, it is not hers, she will definitely not be greedy.
Xiao Jingxing didn't want to dwell too much on this topic, "General Bai is in charge of Shengjing, it's just to create an illusion over there, Rui Zhuo and his little uncle will quietly take a Bai family army to the border in a few days." ”
Qin Wan nodded sheepishly, "The eldest brother has already told me that my mother has prepared a lot of things for the eldest brother in the past few days, and she also said ......."
Speaking of this, Qin Wan's expression became strange, I don't know whether it was schadenfreude or loneliness, and her voice became hoarse, "I also said that when the eldest brother comes back this time, I will be ready to propose to the eldest brother." ”
"Aunt Bai has a candidate?" Xiao Jingxing asked casually.
Qin Wan shook his head, "This matter, the eldest brother said, he will see it himself." ”
If Qin Ruizhuo was still the former Qin Ruizhuo, Bai Zhishui would not agree, but now Qin Ruizhuo has already grown into a dignified man, has his own thoughts about everything, and knows how to plan for his mother and sister, so Bai Zhishui will let go. What's more, Bai Zhishui hopes that her children can find someone they like and can live together for a lifetime, instead of being manipulated like her.
"What about you?" Xiao Jingxing's headless words, Qin Wan actually understood.
Suppressing the inexplicable emotions in her heart, Qin Wan pretended to be relaxed and said: "When Brother Fan comes back, my matter will be decided, and when the time comes, don't forget to give gifts." ”
Xiao Jingxing didn't say a word, but looked at Qin Wan's gaze more and more hot.
The eldest brother and the younger uncle were leaving, Qin Wan had known for a long time, and the eldest uncle's stay in Shengjing was just an illusion over there. Because the eldest uncle and the younger uncle didn't know about Jinru, the riot at the border was just an ordinary thing in the eyes of the two, even if the alliance treaty was signed with Kekesu and the subordinate relationship was determined, it did not mean that Kekesu would keep to himself, and from time to time he would jump out to test Longdu's attitude, which was also a necessary means.
Before the bottom line of Longdu is figured out, there will be no big moves over there, after all, if you really want to fight, Kekesu is definitely a defeated country. It's just that the time of Kekesu's election this time is too good, it coincides with the war in southern Xinjiang, and the old emperor's mind is on the southern Xinjiang side.
It's just that Ke Kesu didn't dare to do too much, so while cautiously probing, he observed his words and looks, and as long as the signs were not right on Longdu's side, he immediately retreated.
In the eyes of Qin Wan's two uncles, Ke Kesu was making a small fuss at the border with such a thought, but Qin Wan and Xiao Jingxing knew that Ke Kesu's purpose was far from here.
Lazhen, the princess of Coquesu has been making too many small moves lately, so much that even if they want to, they can't turn a blind eye.
Before they knew who Lazhen's alliance was, Qin Wan and Xiao Jingxing both chose to wait and see.
There are too many things to deal with recently, Qin Wan is a little too busy, sends away the eldest brother, accompanies Bai Zhishui for a few days, and finally waits for the day when Xuanjizi returns to Beijing.
Qin Wan is not a person who likes to join in the fun, but on the day Xuanjizi returned to Beijing, he went out with lychee and longan for the first time.
Bai Zhishui heard the report of the mother-in-law guarding the door, sighed quietly, looked at the tea that had no temperature in her hand, and said to the grandmother beside her: "Grandma Xia, you say, is it wrong for me to do this?" ”
"Madame, what are these words?" Mama Xia is Bai Zhishui's nurse, when the two get along in private, Mama Xia always says in the loving tone of the elders, "Miss has her own opinions, this is a good thing, according to the old slave, Miss's temperament is to follow Mrs., her own business, take her own ideas, know what to do, how to do it." ”
"I'm just afraid that this kind of temperament will make Jiaojiao go down the same path as me." Bai Zhishui's eyes were worried.
Mama Xia hurriedly comforted: "Madame is too worried, Miss is different from Madame, Miss has ...... The one who guards, who dares to hit the young lady with his heart. Miss is so assertive, Mrs., you should rest assured, is it possible, Mrs. hopes to raise Miss into a woman who will only compete in the backyard and be jealous? ”
"How can my Bai Zhishui's daughter be trapped in a backyard, competing for favor with a group of women?" Once it comes to her own pair of children, Bai Zhishui is full of momentum, "Jiaojiao's temperament is with me, but she is different from me, she is more flamboyant than me, and she is not afraid of the world's eyes than me, even if there is no person to protect her, Jiaojiao can still live a lifetime." ”
Mama Xia sighed, the former Bai Zhishui can be said to be the first person among the nobles of Shengjing, if it weren't for that incident......
No matter how flamboyant Bai Zhishui is, she is still a woman after all, and the eyes of the world poke at her, and she had to put away her once flamboyant wings for the sake of her family.
Blinking, hiding the wetness at the corner of her eyes, Mama Xia said again: "Miss has a wonderful life, Mrs. should be happy, Miss is destined not to stick in a small backyard and be a frog at the bottom of a well." The old slave said something that shouldn't be said, Miss is amazing, and those people outside will be jealous, although Miss has a lady by her side, a young master, and an uncle, but Miss's own means are her own, so she will not be bullied. ”
