Chapter 177: Marry You
readx;
The days always seem to be extraordinarily peaceful, but no one really knows if there is still something lurking under the calm. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Everyone in Dingwangfu has been in danger these days, especially the few staff members under Fu Xiuyi, who are even more cautious in doing things. Not for anything else, a few days ago, Pei Lang, who Fu Xiuyi valued the most, was arrested and locked in a private prison. The specific willingness is not very clear to everyone, but a person who knows the matter slightly revealed that it was because Pei Lang turned out to be a spy sent by Fu Xiuyi.
Before this, no one could deny Pei Lang's talent, although the guests were jealous of Fu Xiuyi's attention to him, but Pei Lang had indeed solved a lot of problems for Fu Xiuyi in the past two years. Fu Xiuyi said that he would be arrested, not to mention whether this thing was true, but the night before he was arrested, Pei Lang and Fu Xiuyi also played chess and drank tea together, so they looked like a monarch and a minister.
If Fu Xiuyi suddenly learned the clues, he would definitely investigate whether it was true first, otherwise he would have wronged a good person and harmed a confidant in vain. But Fu Xiuyi made such a quick decision, which can only show that he has long been suspicious of Pei Lang, and he can be so intimate when he has doubts, and this king is not a simple person. Regardless of whether it was an example or not, when the staff faced Fu Xiuyi again, they were much more respectful.
However, Fu Xiuyi has not been as comfortable as others thought these days, and he also has some doubts.
sent someone to keep an eye on Princess Rongxin's mansion, but finally learned that Princess Rongxin actually disguised herself and went to Pingnanbo's mansion to find Su Mingfeng. Although he didn't know what they said, and he didn't know what Princess Rongxin was about, Fu Xiuyi thought that there must be something strange about it. Princess Rongxin lives in a simple place, and even the relationship with Emperor Wenhui is not very close, if there is, it is Princess Yuqing and Princess Rongxin in the early years. But Princess Yuqing has been dead for many years, and Princess Yuqing's son Xie Jingxing is also close to Princess Rongxin, but Xie Jingxing has also died on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang two years ago. Pingnanbo Mansion and Princess Rongxin don't have much friendship.
Fu Xiuyi racked his brains to think about the connection between Princess Rongxin and Pingnanbo's Mansion, but unfortunately no matter how he looked for it, he couldn't find any valuable clues. And what puzzled Fu Xiuyi was, why didn't Princess Rongxin go to Pingnanbo Su Yu but left Su Mingfeng alone? Su Mingfeng was no longer in the official career, for official business, Su Mingfeng couldn't help at all, if it was for private matters, did Su Mingfeng know Princess Rongxin in private? Su Mingfeng, Su Mingfeng...... Fu Xiuyi was chewing on the name and was suddenly stunned.
Su Mingfeng's name is well known to many people in Dingjing City, not only because he is excellent and talented, but also because it is a pity that he had to quit the official road because of a serious illness when his career was right, but that he is still Xie Jingxing's hair from childhood to adulthood. Some people once wondered how Su Mingfeng could see such an upright and awe-inspiring young man messing around with a cynical and naughty boy like Xie Jingxing. But Lin'anhou Mansion and Pingnanbo Mansion were originally world friends, and it is understandable that the relationship is good.
As if discovering the clue, Fu Xiuyi's thoughts were opened up all of a sudden. Su Mingfeng is Xie Jingxing's hair, and Princess Ming'an is Xie Jingxing's aunt, if Princess Ming'an goes to Su Mingfeng in private, they are most likely to talk about Xie Jingxing.
But isn't Mr. Xie Jing dead? Why did Princess Ming'an suddenly ask the dead person? If it was in the past, everyone didn't dare to mention a word of Xie Jingxing in front of Princess Ming'an, because they were afraid of poking Princess Ming'an's sad thing, so Princess Ming'an took the initiative to ask...... Could it be that Xie Jingxing is not dead yet? Fu Xiuyi was taken aback by his sudden conjecture, and quickly denied it, he had personally read the secret report about Xie Jingxing's death that day, and there would be no mistake. What's more, in front of everyone's eyes, how to steal beams and change pillars is impossible to think about.
But it is obviously to follow the affairs of King Charui, the princess of Ming'an, how could he suddenly find out about Su Mingfeng's head, and it may also involve the dead Xie Jingxing, in this case, things will become complicated, but it is also more interesting......
Fu Xiuyi stood up, thought for a while, and ordered the people around him: "Go to the dungeon." ”
There is a dungeon in the Dingwang Mansion, which is built in the ancestral hall in the courtyard. The royal ancestral hall is not here, and the reason why the ancestral hall is set up in the palace is just to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings. There is a statue of Guanyin on the wall, open the painting, you will see a small laughing Buddha, twist the wooden fish at the feet of the laughing Buddha, the stone door suddenly opens, walk along the road of the stone gate, it is the dungeon of the Dingwang Mansion.
This dungeon is full of spies or people who have made great mistakes under King Ding, ordinary death is not enough to punish them, all kinds of torture are endless, and once you enter, there is a smell of blood. The stone walls were covered with thin leather-like things, and when I looked at them carefully, I saw that they were dead people, who had been skinned and dried here, and they still maintained the extremely painful look they had before they died, and they shuddered at a glance.
Outside is the ancestral hall for blessings, but inside it is doing such devilish things. Right under Guanyin's nose, this place is like an eighteen-story hell, even more terrifying than the eighteen-story hell.
Fu Xiuyi walked in leisurely, looking at the human skins on both sides and even full of appreciation. The subordinates around him led the way in front, and when they were taken to the last room, they stopped.
The people in the prison were hung upside down and locked to the beams, soaked with blood all over their bodies. The robe was dyed bright red, and the original color was barely visible. And because it was hanging upside down, from time to time there was blood dripping onto the ground drop by drop, forming a small blood stain.
Fu Xiuyi looked at the man quietly, the man seemed to have passed out, he made a look at the people around him, and immediately someone took a bucket of chili water and poured it on the person in the prison.
The man was so excited that his whole body trembled, as if he was in pain beyond words, and he was suffering from great pain.
Fu Xiuyi stepped forward with a smile and said, "Sir, are you still used to it?"
The chili water stabbed the wound, but it also washed away the blood stains on the prisoner's face, and a clear and arrogant face was Pei Lang.
Pei Lang smiled and replied in a trembling voice: "Thanks to His Highness, I'm doing well." ”
"I have long known that Mr. is not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that not only is he talented, but his integrity is also admired by this hall. Or...... How could the Shen family send you over?" Fu Xiuyi sighed: "It is said that the soldiers led by Shen Xin are all heroic, and the gentleman is a literati, it turns out that the bones are so hard, how does General Shen train people, and this store also wants to know." ”
Pei Lang took a breath and said with a smile: "My subordinates have nothing to do with General Shen. ”
"It's been a few days, and my husband is still so persistent. Fu Xiuyi said: "Although the temperament is commendable, it is a headache in the end, and people have to prepare some unusual ways to play for Mr. ”
Pei Lang just smiled and didn't speak.
Fu Xiuyi looked at him, his tone was very gentle, and he seemed to have some nostalgia, and said, "Actually, this hall and your master and servant have a very happy relationship. You are talented, and we appreciate it. This temple is soft-hearted, and I am willing to give you a chance, after making meritorious service and atonement, it will be as if nothing had happened before, this hall is the same as you were before, this hall calls you a sir, you are the most powerful think tank in this hall. He approached Pei Lang and said almost a little coaxingly: "As long as you tell the palace, what secrets the Shen family has, and what is the purpose of your being sent to this store." Two sentences, another chance, how about it?"
Pei Lang coughed twice, coughed up a few piles of red blood, and then smiled with difficulty: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, but the minister has nothing to do with the Shen family, and he can't answer His Highness's question, probably asking God not to give the minister this opportunity, it's a pity." ”
Fu Xiuyi looked at him expressionlessly, and only smiled lightly after a while, he clapped his hands, dusted off the blood splattered on his body, and said: "Mr. has hard bones, this hall admires it tightly, and it is also curious to be tight, I want to see how hard Mr.'s bones can be." He waved his hand to the people around him: "This little thing can't get into the eyes of Mr., and it can't be used, so let's change it to a better one." ”
He stepped back and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Sir, don't say it, the main hall itself can find out the secret of the Shen family." However, this hall also wants to ask Mr., I heard that the Shen family values love and righteousness, and Mr. is the main liver and brain, I don't know if General Shen will send someone to save Mr. from the fire pit?"
He left with the guards.
After Fu Xiuyi left, Pei Lang spit out a mouthful of blood, this prince who seemed to be gentle and scheming at most, even had such a vicious and violent side. It's just that Fu Xiuyi's words to Lang in the end made him laugh bitterly.
It is true that the Shen family attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but the person he does is Shen Miao, Shen Miao attaches great importance to love and righteousness, that is just for the Shen family, except for her relatives and friends, others are afraid that in the eyes of Shen Miao, it is not important at all. As for whether Fu Xiuyi said that he would come to save him, Pei Lang felt that it should not. Not to mention whether Shen Miao has the ability to fish people from the palace of He Ding, it is still the most secret dungeon. When Shen Miao asked him to lurk beside Fu Xiuyi to play a dark chess, he should have expected that there would be such a day. Shen Miao knew that once Fu Xiuyi found out, Pei Lang's fate would be extremely miserable, but she still did it.
Reason knew that Shen Miao would not come to save him, but Pei Lang had a faint expectation in his heart. He couldn't tell what he felt about Shen Miao. At the beginning, Shen Miao threatened him with Liuying, and Pei Lang even felt a little disgusted in his heart, he hated the feeling of being threatened and uncontrolled. But somehow, he really thought of himself as Shen Miao's person. will worry about Shen Miao and do his best to be a chess piece. Pei Lang himself couldn't understand what he was doing, he thought, probably he owed Shen Miao something in his previous life, so he would always follow her in this life, and almost even his life was changed. The guard in charge of torturing him came again, and Pei Lang threw away the thoughts in his heart and began a new round of torture.
What he didn't know was that in King Rui's mansion, Huolong and Nightingale were sitting on a tree knocking melon seeds. Nightingale asked, "Boss Ji and Gao Gongzi haven't come out yet, how long do they have to guard the tower?"
Huo Long spit out a mouthful of melon seed shells and said, "I guess the master has forgotten about this at all." The master has been running around outside these days, how can he have the heart to take care of others? I heard that there was another letter from the Daliang Palace, and the master probably wanted to finish these things and return to the palace earlier. ”
"That's right, but Boss Ji has been staying in the tower prison, what about the news from the Fengxian pawnshop?
Huolong glanced at the nightingale: "The Fengxian pawnshop is to make money, and the information is naturally reported to the master by someone from the Moyu Army." Besides, Boss Ji is concerned about some inexplicable things, so there is nothing serious. Fool yourself!"
When the nightingale heard this, he suddenly felt that his companion was reasonable, and said, "Yes." Why do you care so much? ”
There are some things in the world that are just mistakes, and sometimes a small change will change the trajectory of the whole thing.
In the study room upstairs of the Fengxian pawnshop Linjiang Xian, a thick stack of letters has been piled up in the corner of the desk, and it is covered with a layer of dust when no one sorts it out. And the letter pressed at the bottom, the envelope was impressively written with three words.
Dingwangfu.
......
There are some movements in the Dingwang Mansion because of this time, let alone the Prince's Mansion. Emperor Wen Hui had the intention to give favors to the crown prince and let the prince have a good relationship with Huangfu Hao, so Huangfu Hao came to the prince's mansion almost swaggeringly, and he didn't have to steal without being discovered.
It's just that what the prince said to the prince at the prince's mansion is not something that Emperor Wen Hui can control.
The crown prince poured a little wine for Huangfu Hao, and said with a smile: "What does Brother Huangfu think of the words of the palace?"
Huangfu Hao smiled, didn't say yes or no, and said: "You have played really well with this abacus, all the bad guys have let this palace do it, you have fallen into a good name, and you have a beautiful woman." ”
The prince was not annoyed, and smiled: "A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, if he can, this palace is happy to see Miss Shen Wu as the crown princess of your Qin Kingdom, but everyone knows that this is impossible." "The emperor of Qin is not big enough to marry the daughter of a courtier from another country to his crown prince. If the name of the crown princess is not stopped, it represents a woman, and it also represents the power of this woman's family, and it is best to help the prince. Shen Miao, as a native of Ming Qi, couldn't help Huangfu Hao, not to mention, Shen Xin was reluctant to marry his daughter to the Qin State.
Huangfu Hao shook his head: "What's the hurry, this palace didn't say that it wanted to take away people's favors." But ......" he looked at the prince: "This palace is not a person who likes to do good deeds every day, not to mention that he wants to use his reputation to do good deeds, if General Shen holds a grudge against this palace in the future, this palace will also be very difficult." ”
The prince laughed when he heard it, this Huangfu Hao is also an understanding person, and he quickly understood the benefits. Reputation is useless in Ming Qi, not to mention that it is not a big deal to marry Shen Miao. Just a matter of one sentence can make Emperor Wen Hui and the crown prince owe Huang Fuhao a personal favor together, why not. Of course, how to exchange this oweed favor, Emperor Wen Hui didn't know that this matter was the prince's idea, so it depended on how important this family affair was in the prince's heart.
"Brother Huangfu, what's the difficulty?" the prince asked with a smile.
"It's not a big deal, it's just going to make you laugh. Huangfu Hao sighed and made a sad look: "Although I am the prince of Qin, the common people still have scriptures that are difficult to read, let alone this palace." The father treats the palace very well, but the brothers of the palace are not worried, if one day the brothers have a dispute with the palace......" he glanced at the prince meaningfully: "At that time, please help the palace." ”
The prince was stunned at first, and then scolded Huangfu Hao for being cunning in his heart. Every country will have the matter of seizing the heir, especially in countries with many princes. But what Huang Fu Hao means is that if one day the Qin royal family fights, and Huang Fu Hao takes the heir, the crown prince must help him. How can a prince of Ming Qi help the prince of Qin to win the heir, then there is only borrowing soldiers.
Huangfu Hao really has a good calculation.
Seeing him hesitating, Huangfu Hao smiled: "What are you hesitating about? Isn't this palace the same as the one that I am helping you to do now?"
The prince was excited, and looked at Huangfu Hao without speaking. If this time can succeed, Shen Miao marries him, the Shen family will be tied to his prince's mansion, with the help of the Shen family, the prince's strength will only increase greatly, and an important weight will be added in the succession. Now that Huangfu Hao is helping him, isn't it just helping him win the heir?
In this way, it seems that the conditions offered by Huangfu Hao are not so unacceptable. After all, he got more out of it.
The prince's heart was crossed, and he said, "Okay." Brother Huangfu pulled out his sword to help this time, and the palace will definitely not stand idly by in the future. ”
Huangfu Hao smiled at this time, and after pushing the cup and changing the lamp with the prince a few times, he said, "But ...... You really want to marry Shen Miao. He saw the prince's puzzled expression and explained: "At the tributary banquet, the palace saw that Shen Miao was not a soft person, but he was afraid of being very strong. You're so confident that you can tame her?"
"What is this. The prince waved his hand nonchalantly: "No matter how fierce her temperament is, she is a woman." As long as it is a woman, once she gets married, the idea will be put away. To tell you the truth, the crown princess was still fierce when she first arrived in the East Palace, and she is still not obedient to the palace. Women, spend a little effort to coax, just like a cat, and in the end they will still be docile. ”
When Huang Fuhao heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, but he was a little sneering in his heart. Princess Ming'an's death is still a mystery, but Huangfu Hao always feels that this matter is inseparable from Shen Miao. Later, the matter between him and Fu Xiuyi was taken advantage of without knowing what was going on, and now Fu Xiuyi has to deliberately keep a distance from him. The Shen family is not ordinary, and there seems to be someone behind Shen Miao who is pointing. Although the prince's strength is not weak, but when he meets Shen Miao, he may not be able to win or lose.
It's just that these are insignificant to Huang Fuhao. He was also happy to watch the play, so after laughing a few times, he and the prince had a good time.
......
But on the other side, Shen Miao actually replied to the post.
only said that Shen Dongling invited her over to taste the fragrance, and Shen Miao agreed, but she also had to take Luo Jia's cousin Luo Tan.
Wang Bi was very happy to see Shen Miao's reply, and said to Shen Dongling: "It's not that you two sisters don't have any contact, I didn't expect her to agree." ”
Shen Dongling was also a little surprised, but said with a smile in his mouth: "It seems that I haven't seen each other for a long time." After all, there are only two of us left in the house now. She took the post in Wang Bi's hand and looked at it carefully.
In all fairness, Shen Dongling never expected Shen Miao to reply to the post, and promised to come over to see the fragrance. With Shen Dongling's understanding of Shen Miao, Shen Miao is cautious by nature and it is impossible to come. The reason why she wants to write a post to Shen Miao is just because she wants to prove to Wang Bi that she is doing her best for Wang Bi, and I hope that Wang Bi can think more about her in the future.
But who would have thought that Shen Miao would agree.
Shen Dongling's mind changed sharply, the reason why Shen Miao would bring Luo Tan was probably because Luo Tan knew martial arts, and it would be more reassuring to have someone to accompany him. Moreover, Shen Miao will definitely carry many guards with him, and he will definitely ensure Shen Miao's safety. Since Shen Miao dared to come, he must have done everything possible.
However, Shen Dongling didn't care, her purpose was not to calculate Shen Miao. Shen Dongling pushed Wang Bi: "Husband, since the fifth sister agreed to come, it would be better to find a reason for future affairs." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Huang Fu Hao also shouted together, and in the future, it can be said that Huang Fu Hao looked at the dignified and beautiful five sisters when he was tasting incense and fell in love, and then things will be more natural?"
"You women are really more thoughtful. Wang Bi smiled and put his arm around Shen Dongling's shoulder: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"
Shen Dongling joked with him with a smile, but what he thought in his heart was something else.
Shen Miao has always been good at calculating others, and Shen Dongling also saw it when the entire Shen Mansion was Ren Wanyun and Shen Miaodou. In the end, the Shen family was preserved, and if there was anyone who was powerful, it was Shen Miao and Shen Dongling.
Shen Dongling also wanted to see who was more powerful between himself and Shen Miao. Calculating Shen Miao in his plan is much more interesting than calculating Shen Yue.
......
Shen Miao, who was being "calculated" by Shen Dongling, was holding her cheeks at the moment and playing chess with Xie Jingxing in the house.
Xie Jingxing played a good hand of chess, unlike Shen Miao's steady and steady streak, step by step planning, Xie Jingxing seemed to be able to see at a glance what was the use of the chess pieces she had already arranged, where Shen Miao went, Xie Jingxing blocked it in the corresponding place, and after playing for more than half an hour, Xie Jingxing won several of her pieces, and the battle situation was still stalemate, and it was difficult to give up.
Shen Miao had also practiced chess hard in his previous life in order to have a chat with Fu Xiuyi, not to mention that the first was at least a rare opponent, but under Xie Jingxing, he couldn't fight, Xie Jingxing was like a nemesis. For the first time since he learned chess, the temple wanted to regret it.
Seeing that Xie Jingxing had eaten her several more in a row, Shen Miao said, "I'm tired, I won't go down." ”
"Don't want to go down or can't go down?" Xie Jingxing said: "Please, I'll teach you." ”
Shen Miao was going to laugh angrily at his words, and came over in the middle of the night to find someone to play chess, that is, Shen Miao had a good temperament, and others had already sent Xie Jingxing out. She said, "Thank you, I don't want it." "She doesn't plan to be a chess master, learn what to do here. Not returning to Xie Jingxing to play such a good chess game surprised her, Xie Jingxing is excellent on the battlefield, I haven't heard of him else particularly good. But after thinking about it, this person plays the world in the palm of his hand, and a small chess piece is nothing.
She asked, "Are all your men arranged in two days?"
Two days later, it was the day of tasting incense, and it was also the first time that she and Xie Jingxing teamed up to calculate others. is calculated to be two princes, which is only afraid that it will make people feel a little frightened. But Shen Miao didn't think there was anything, she herself had given birth to a prince, and she really didn't think the status of the prince was unattainable. Xie Jingxing is even more so, his own brother is the emperor, and the prince is still his nephew.
So in this way, it seems that she and Xie Jingxing are the two princes who calculate, but they also think it is very suitable.
"Rest assured, nothing goes wrong. Xie Jingxing said: "Your carriage has also been arranged, do you really want to go?" He frowned: "You can not go." ”
"Why don't you go?" Shen Miao said: "It doesn't matter to me whether I go or not, but...... I wish they could do it a little bit more grandly. Shen Miao smiled slightly: "If I want to go, they will only make the bureau more realistic, but in the end, I find that everything is wrong." Wouldn't it be more interesting?"
Xie Jingxing smiled and said, "So ruthless?"
"Is it ruthless?" Shen Miao asked rhetorically.
"Ruthless. He nodded, his eyes shining like clear water, and his thin lips hooked lightly: "But I like it." ”
Shen Miao: "......"
Xie Jingxing has been speaking more and more lightly since that night, but it is only between words, and her demeanor is still very respectful. Suddenly, there was a person squeezed into his life, Shen Miao was still a little unaccustomed, but I had to admit that with Xie Jingxing, many things became much easier. It seems that what she has taken a lot of effort to do, Xie Jingxing can easily solve it.
But if you continue to rely on it like this, it will still be unsettling. Shen Miao has not yet learned how to trust a person, or rather, trust a man. She is indomitable and brave and resourceful in the things next to her, but in the relationship between men and women, she is seriously injured, so again, she is still clumsy as a child. Even if someone gently teaches, it is stupid and slow.
Xie Jingxing stared at her nonchalantly, his eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking. With the chess pieces at hand, the girl sat dignified and gentle, and the light made her soft and graceful, like a blooming lotus.
And his face was handsome, his dark eyes were as deep as night, he looked at each other thoughtfully for a while, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled.
"This matter is settled, I will marry you, Shen Jiaojiao. ”

Boss Ji and Gao Gongzi were locked up in the small black house and haven't come out yet......
