Chapter 31: Muddy the Waters
It is said that if someone can collect the heirloom jade seals in the hands of those five people, it is almost equivalent to having the throne.
Fu Xiao felt that Wan Songli was afraid that this was the plan.
In this way, his maternal family are all merchants.
Since the concubine Niangniang entered the palace, she began to reluctantly marry in some officialdom.
It is certainly a good thing to have monstrous wealth, but looking at the court, compared to other princes, Wan Shuli's power is also very weak.
Even if he is the most suitable age, he will naturally not be able to fight for the position of prince by his own strength.
Wan Songli knew that he didn't have a strong backing, so he dared to go sideways like this.
Although on the surface, it seems that like other princes, he does not fight or grab, and does his duty as an idle prince. Making friends with other officials on a small scale and running around is just a formality.
It is estimated that no one expected him to find a shortcut to the dragon chair behind his back.
And yes, borrowed the hand of Jinyin Villa.
How convenient.
Jinyin Villa has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and does not ask about political affairs.
It's a pity that when he came to Fu Xiao's place, he broke the convention for Wan Chun Li - who made loyalty and filial piety dilemma since ancient times, and who could keep the empty faith and ignore his father's life and death?
Fu Xiao had no choice, so he could only temporarily turn into the "lackey" of the second prince, and used the intelligence network he had buried before to help Wan Chungli.
The operation of this step hidden in the shadows is not yet known to outsiders.
Those who participated in the collection of information were "kindly" instructed by Mo Di to keep their mouths carefully at all times.
Because, once the news of Jinyin Villa standing behind the second prince is leaked, there is no doubt how many people will poke Fu Xiao's back and scold him for breaking the rules.
bring such bad things as seizing the heir to the rivers and lakes. Well, the two muddy waters are muddy together, how can the world be as peaceful as it is now.
Fu Xiao only felt a little sorry for Ji Yao.
He drew this pie a little big from the beginning, and he didn't even explain to Ji Yao the gains and losses behind this search, so he lured her to find Jia Xiaofu on the condition that she could find it, and stepped into the whirlpool of power struggle with one foot.
A point of no return without worry.
"Hey, when should I tell her?" Fu Xiao sighed.
When Fu Xiao was very depressed, the door rang twice.
He could tell who it was.
Fu Xiao casually took those notes aside, got up and responded, "Come in." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Ji Yao open the door a little, and Fu Xiao was waiting for her to come in, waiting for her to come in, and waiting was still just a head.
Ji Yao's two eyes glanced around, looking at the specifications of this room.
"Tsk, I feel like this house is a little brighter than mine." She thought.
"What are you doing, outside the pestle?" Fu Xiao said loudly.
Only then did Ji Yao retract his thoughts, pursed his lips, and didn't see Mo Die, he gestured with his hand uncomfortably, and said, "What, it's not appropriate." You, I, two...... Lonely men, and widows. ”
"Hey, you have to do a full set of dramas, don't forget, what is the relationship between the two of us now."
Fu Xiao watched Ji Yao's posture of waving one index finger with some amusement, and held his chin and said, "If you keep pouting your cheeks outside, it's really inappropriate." ”
"Humph!" Ji Yao was said by Fu Xiao, and simply opened the two doors wide open, and stepped in hatefully.
Reflexively, he closed the door tightly, and glared back at him: "I'm just here to ask if I want to give people food?" Do you want to cultivate immortals or raise hungry ghosts? If you starve people, who will work for you! ”
She patted her stomach very deliberately: "If this place is empty, the brain will also be empty, even if you have the heart to help you, it will be useless." ”
"What should I do, you sit and wait a while." Fu Xiao got up, walked to the round table not far away, put the back of his hand on the celadon teapot to test the temperature, and poured two cups of tea.
"You don't want to fill me up." Ji Yao was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he didn't know how much water he poured into the room, and he just wanted to shake his head when he saw the tea.
Fu Xiao ignored her, sat down casually by himself, hooked another stool with his foot, raised his chin at Ji Yao, and motioned for her to sit down.
He waved his hand lightly and said, "I'm also the young owner of Jinyin Villa, can I starve people to death when I go out?" ”
Ji Yao rolled his eyes and sat down with his legs crossed: "Just you, the young owner who stunned people and resisted walking on the road, you can't do anything." ”
"Uh......" Fu Xiao was speechless for a while, and changed the topic slightly: "Mo Di should have gone out to buy food at this time, that guy can't help but be hungry than you." ”
"I didn't hear him go out, so far away, you know?" Ji Yao said that he didn't believe it, pressed his stomach, and pouted at the cup of tea rippling with water.
Fu Xiao drank all of them, added a small half cup of tea to himself, knocked on the table, and said, "You and my ears can't be classified as the same kind." ”
"Heh, you martial arts practitioners are really interesting."
Ji Yao heard him speak lightly, and the roll of his eyes was even more energetic.
Entrusting Xiao's blessing, she once again reviewed the fear of being dominated by her mother when she was forced to practice martial arts at home.
If you want to talk about Xiao Ji Yao, she was spoiled by her wife's strict father back then, but she was still discovered by Mei Qian, who deliberately listened because of the practice of cheating.
There is bound to be a penalty for being lazy.
There is nothing new in this punishment, it is basically a set of horse step long fist guarantee, plus internal strength to press the leg to serve.
Ji Yao has never been able to stand it.
How many sins she suffered for this, until she was older, and then ran away, but the body still remembered it honestly.
Realizing that Fu Xiao's skills were the same as Mei Qian's, Ji Yao shivered coldly, and his knees were a little sore.
Ji Yao rubbed his legs, and suddenly remembered something.
"Oh yes!" She said.
As soon as she recalled the tragic time when she was devastated by Mei Qian, she remembered the concubine Niangniang who was closely related to her and hung next to her name.
Besides, I see it today, alive, the son of the concubine Niangniang, Wan Chung Li Qiren.
She couldn't understand Wan Chunli's intention, so she could only ask Fu Xiao: "Is your Jinyin Villa short of money or what?" Why do you have to release the young owner to take over the prince's work? How unreliable it is, and you have to be supervised......"
"Is Jinyin Villa so unbearable in your opinion?"
was misinterpreted by Ji Yao like this, Fu Xiao was very big.
It's just that everyone asked questions sincerely, and Fu Xiao had no choice but to tell her honestly about the task assigned to him by Wan Chungli.
However, he deliberately concealed the reason why he was forced to accept it, as well as Wan Songli's true purpose - even if he felt that what was the point of looking for the "Five Hermits" this time, Ji Yao couldn't have guessed anything.
