The candle flame was soft, and Mrs. Cui, who was dressed in a cyan skirt, was sitting on a low couch.

She held a royal cane in her hand, and her eyes fell coldly on the divorce letter on the table.

"Rokuro's side, Motoro has already run over?" Mrs. Cui raised her eyes, her eyes were nailed to Yuan Wanqing's body, and the crutches in her hand were eager to slash over now and kill him directly.

Yuan Wanqing, who was dressed in a cyan robe, bowed down calmly and said, "Six hundred miles is urgent, and the mountain road is not easy to walk." ”

"Good work." Cui Shi nodded slightly, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

For two days and three nights, she ran more than 1,400 places, and she didn't blame her husband's nephew, Liulang Zheng Xuankai, who would agree to dissolve the marriage contract with the Xue family in Hedong; It's no wonder that the Hedong Xue clan will agree.

After the martial arts, the East Palace was pressed on it, and Yuan Wanqing personally ran from Chang'an to Daizhou without stopping, and no one could refuse.

It's hateful, this guy also sent news a few days ago, making him think that he was still in Luoyang.

In the end, without her attention, this was pressed between the marriage of the East Palace and the Zheng family, and the threshold was not big or small, and it was directly flattened by Yuan Wanqing's hard work.

But......

A deep groan flashed in the depths of Mrs. Cui's eyes.

Zheng and Xue's marriage contract, there are not a few people who know.

Although Xue Rengui, the prince of Pingyang County, is not the main marriage, he definitely knows about it, not to mention that he is now in Luoyang.

If he knew that the East Palace had forced the Zheng family and the Xue family to dissolve the marriage contract, the general of the dynasty and the prince of Pingyang, who had a huge reputation in the court and the opposition, once he had a dislike for the prince, then there would be more places to use in the future.

Thinking of this, Cui's immediately smiled and said: "The Zheng family's poetry and book heirloom couldn't do this to ruin the marriage, but now that the Xue family has taken the initiative to retreat, it is impossible for my family to do anything about it, as for acting in the palace, it has nothing to do with my family, but the married woman in this family ......"

Yuan Wanqing's eyes raised and looked at Cui Shi deeply: "I heard that Mrs. Tai has met the eldest princess of Huainan and the eldest princess of Qianjin before and after in the past two days?" ”

"There is also the eldest princess Wencheng, it's just that the eldest princess is not in good health...... Cui Shi shook his head calmly, and reined in his words and said: "This marriage contract always pays attention to your love and my wishes, and my Zheng family also has many virtuous ladies, acting in the palace, I have to give my Zheng family a chance to speak......"

"Mrs. Tai, it is impossible for Qi Niang to marry into the East Palace." Yuan Wanqing looked at Cui Shi deeply.

This trip, he not only obtained Xue's divorce letter, but also asked Zheng Liulang to agree to the marriage.

It's just that Zheng Liulang agreed to the marriage, which can only be regarded as half of the matter.

In the end, this matter still has to be nodded by Mrs. Cui, and it can be regarded as the nod of Xingyang Zheng, otherwise Yuan Wanqing would not have come to this trip.

But this one, who is still thinking about letting his granddaughter marry into the East Palace, how could Yuan Wanqing agree.

Even if she secretly found the eldest princess of Huainan and the eldest princess of Qianjin to communicate and intercede, it was impossible.

Not to mention that the eldest princess of Wencheng didn't give her a chance at all.

There are not only fools in the clan.

……

Looking at Yuan Wanqing, who looked firm, Mrs. Cui suddenly turned her eyes, nodded calmly, and said: "Yuan Lang said so, the old body is not too much, and it is not impossible for Jiuniang to marry into the East Palace, but the old body has another requirement here." ”

Yuan Wanqing frowned, and arched his hand: "Mrs. Tai, please speak." ”

Cui Shi raised his eyes to look at Yuan Wanqing, and said softly: "The old body wants to see the king." ”

Suddenly, a stream of cold air rushed up from Yuan Wanqing's vest, and almost instantly, Yuan Wanqing's whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.

Yuan Wanqing suddenly looked up at Mrs. Cui, gritted his teeth and said: "Mrs. Tai, don't mess around, if you come randomly, I'm afraid I don't need to wait for me to make a move, that King Peng is enough to completely break up the entire Zheng family." ”

"Yuan Lang was originally not afraid of King Peng, why didn't he see him for a few days, and his courage became smaller." There was a hint of mockery on Cui's calm face.

Previously, Mrs. Cui had impeached Li Xuan by Yuan Wanqing's hand, but she was pressed by Empress Wu, and even turned against Zheng, and there was already a grudge between the two sides.

"That's because King Peng was not in Luoyang in those days, and now that he has returned to Luoyang, the emperor's side, as long as the emperor says a word, he will go straight to Xingyang and completely eradicate the entire Zheng family, and he will not hesitate at all." Yuan Wanqing said, his eyes were full of endless jealousy.

Mrs. Cui's face immediately sank, from Luoyang to Xingyang, it was only one step away.

And if that day comes......

"Huh!" Mrs. Cui calmed down, raised her eyes to look at Yuan Wanqing, and said lightly: "Why should Yuan Lang intimidate the old man, my family has always been loyal to the king, how could the emperor want to destroy my family, and without the emperor opening his mouth, that King Peng gave him 10,000 guts, and he didn't dare to do anything to my Xingyang Zheng family." ”

Xingyang Zheng family is a famous family in the world, and even a woman joined the East Palace as the crown princess, if it weren't for the wrong note, I'm afraid that the second largest family in the world in the world except for the Longxi Li family is none other than his Xingyang Zheng family, and even the Zhaojun Li family can't compare.

Even if it was because of the wrong bet back then, but the Zheng family has been married left and right for countless years, and there are countless collusions, if there is no real crime, the emperor will eradicate her family, then I am afraid that the world will be in turmoil.

"If Mrs. Tai sees King Xiang, I'm afraid that there is no emperor's holy decree, and King Peng will also do something to the Zheng family in Xingyang, and now at this time, the Zheng family in Xingyang really wants to intervene in it, that is, to destroy the entire Zheng family, and the emperor will only praise King Peng for his ability." Yuan Wanqing looked at Old Madam Cui with a sneer in his eyes.

And in his words, he was still full of Yuan Wanqing's jealousy of Li Xuan.

It is true that since Li Xuan returned to the prince, many of the methods of the Xiangwang Mansion have not been able to be used.

Especially in Luoyang, under the emperor's holy decree, the generals of the Sixteen Guards were able to use all the guards and soldiers.

Even if they didn't make any moves in the Xiangwang Mansion on weekdays, the soldiers who patrolled back and forth also made them subconsciously vigilant.

"Then don't let King Peng know that the old man has seen King Xiang." Cui Shi replied lightly.

The last time Li Xuan was impeached with the help of Yuan Wanqing's hand, although the Cui family didn't know why it didn't succeed, he also knew that Li Xuan was really not easy to mess with at this time.

It's not easy to mess with, just dodge, why bother with a head-on collision.

"Isn't Mrs. Tai going to marry her granddaughter into the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Yuan Wanqing frowned and said, "As long as there is even the slightest news about this matter, I am afraid that King Peng will already be waiting for the emperor's holy decree...... Of course, maybe he can't kill your Zheng family, your wife, you can still kill this room. ”

Cui Shi shook his head lightly and said: "My family doesn't have to marry King Xiang now, just to make a marriage contract, even if it is not known, if it can be so, the old body should give a gift to King Xiang." ”

"Gifts, what gifts?" Yuan Wanqing couldn't help but be stunned.

"How is the Book of Rites?" Cui's words, the corners of Yuan Wanqing's eyes couldn't help jumping wildly.

Immediately, Yuan Wanqing calmed down, looked at Cui's and said: "Mrs. Tai, you may not know that now this Ministry of Rites Shangshu, in fact, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven have already decided, and it is the household servant Lang Wei who is waiting for the price, and no one else has any chances." ”

"The decree hasn't come down yet, has it." Cui's gaze fell from Yuan Wanqing's body to his crutches, and he said softly: "Even if the holy decree has come down, there is also an order today, and tomorrow it will be avoided, just like the thing you are doing now." ”

Yuan Wanqing's breathing suddenly became heavy, and there was only one thing they were doing now, which was to send Li Dan to the emperor's throne.

It's just that it's a little difficult now, not to mention that more and more people outside are unwilling to help, but internally, there are more and more people who don't want to do more.

It's not that they think Li Xian is a Ming Jun, or that they think Li Dan is not qualified enough, but they see more and more that it is the Queen of Heaven who really doesn't want to let King Xiang get one step closer.

Of course, Yuan Wanqing was not included among these people, because he saw it more clearly than the others.

The crown prince is not so docile, Li Xuan, Su Liangsi, Xue Yuanchao, Liu Renliang, and even the emperor himself have been secretly cultivating and teaching Li Xian all these years.

No emperor would let power go unchecked, and once the crown prince and the queen of heaven clashed, the opportunity for them came.

Of course, Yuan Wanqing didn't mind that this opportunity came earlier.

Just like Cui said, the holy decree has not yet come down, and Li Xian has not yet ascended the throne as an emperor, not to mention, Li Xian is an emperor, and he may also be deposed.

Just like Yuan Wanqing and Cui's joint efforts to impeach Li Xuan before, Yuan Wanqing's fundamental purpose is still to target Li Xian and weaken the power around him.

And Empress Wu could see at a glance that Yuan Wanqing was forced to do so, and the person who forced him was the Cui family, as for the deeper ......

"Mrs. Tai, it is impossible for King Xiang to meet you, and it is impossible for King Xiang to accept Liuniang as a side concubine." Yuan Wanqing looked up at the Cui clan and said seriously: "The East Palace will not allow it, and Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven will not allow it. ”

Yuan Wanqing's words seemed to be no different from what he said before, but Cui Shi also heard the difference.

Cui Shi nodded with a chuckle, and said directly: "Regarding the matter of the Ministry of Rites, the old man can contact my two cousins...... By the way, and there is another who is now a doctor of imperial history? ”

"Doctor Cui, go and say it." Yuan Wanqing stared at the Cui clan and said, "However, Cui Xiang and Cui Shangshu have promised King Peng to support the crown prince. ”

The Zheng family in Xingyang may not be very good, but this lady is the daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe, and she is also close to Cui Zhiwen and Cui Zhiyi brothers, and she is the elder of other Cui family children in the court.

The reason why the Zheng family in Xingyang seems to be a little weak now is just because King Peng negotiated with the Cui family on the way from Chang'an to Luoyang, cutting off her biggest foreign aid.

"My own family members always have to talk better than outsiders, and in addition to them, Li Huaiyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the old body can also persuade one or two." Cui's came up with a new killer weapon, Li Huaiyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who can also help Cui's speak in this matter.

"The key is the prime minister." Yuan Wanqing looked at Cui Shi and said, "It's not enough to be a Cui Xiang. ”

"It's a pity, it would be nice if Zhao Guogong was still here." Cui Shi couldn't help but sigh, and then said softly: "Then there is only Pei Xiang." ”

Yuan Wanqing's eyes couldn't help jumping, and then he nodded calmly and said, "Okay." ”

Cui Shi suddenly laughed, and then said, "Please give a token to King Xiang." ”

Yuan Wanqing was silent, Li Dan couldn't accept the daughter of the Zheng family as a side concubine now, and he couldn't see the Cui family now, but if he wanted the Cui family to help, then he had to come up with something to reassure the Cui family.

"The little nephew will discuss with the king when he goes back, but if there is a result, he will inform the old lady immediately." Yuan Wanqing stood up and bowed slightly.

Cui Shi looked to the side and said, "The housekeeper sent the Yuan family Langjun on behalf of the old man." ”

"Whoa!" The housekeeper immediately gave up his hand, then looked at Yuan Wanqing and said, "Lang Jun, go this way." ”

"The little nephew said goodbye." Yuan Wanqing bowed again, then turned to leave.

Standing at the window, Cui Shi watched Yuan Wanqing completely disappear into the darkness, and his breathing became heavy: "King Xiang, after all, he is still unwilling, but the prince?" ”

Thinking of Li Xuan inexplicably, she shook her head slightly: "This matter must not be discovered by him." ”

……

In the manor, the housekeeper said goodbye to Yuan Wanqing and turned back.

Before he knew it, he had walked into the darkness, and soon, he came out again.

After a long time, the manor fell completely silent.

A figure wearing a crown and a moonlight emperor robe walked out of the same darkness.

His eyes were gloomy.

……

Li Xuan opened her eyes.
