Chapter 178: Retreat is Advance

Although Xiao Qingyu had a gloomy face, he listened to Feng Jingzhi's words patiently, and then got up, not in front of Feng Jingzhi, but crossed Feng Jingzhi, came to Ye Ningxiang, and held Ye Ningxiang's hands affectionately.

"Ningxiang, thank you for your hard work. ”

"The emperor is really hard to work hard with the ministers here for the sake of incense. Compared with the emperor, what Ning Xiang suffered was not worth mentioning at all. ”

Seeing that Ye Ningxiang was able to understand the general situation at this critical juncture and show the demeanor of a mother, Xiao Qingyu showed a satisfied smile, then turned around and gently helped Feng Jingzhi who was kneeling on the ground.

"Master Feng, didn't I say that in front of me, you don't have to make this great gift. ”

When speaking, Xiao Qingyu deliberately accentuated his tone, and gently patted the back of Feng Jingzhi's hand, showing a strong sense of concern.

"I never believed in the heavens, never believed in the earth, I always believed that the power of man can overcome everything, and the future of the kingdom of Sweden is always in the hands of us living people, and has nothing to do with those ancestors who have passed away. ”

Xiao Qingyu's eyes were suddenly cold, and his face was as cold as ice, as if whoever dared to disobey his will would take someone's life.

"Therefore, I don't care if I offend the ancestors, and Queen Ye's guilt is also forgiven. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Feng Jingzhi raised his voice, as if with an uncontrollable anger, which shocked all the officials and did not dare to speak.

Xiao Qingyu saw Feng Jingzhi's angry appearance, and seemed to be very happy in his heart, the corners of his mouth rose, and a light smile appeared on his face again. He put his cheek next to Feng Jingzhi's ear and said softly: "Prime Minister, no matter how weak the young eagle is, there will be a day when the wings will grow hard, and I think this day should have come." ”

Feng Jingzhi didn't expect that Xiao Qingyu, who was the most optimistic about him more than ten years ago, would dare to openly confront him, he was first shocked in his heart, and then the anger in his heart became even stronger, and his cheeks were red with anger.

"Ningxiang, let's go. ”

No matter how dissatisfied the officials were, Xiao Qingyu still took Ye Ningxiang's hand without any care, and slowly walked out of the Chongming Hall with Ye Ningxiang, no longer paying attention to the civil and military officials who had already been in a mess.

"Your Majesty. ”

Outside the Chongming Palace, Ye Ningxiang broke free of Xiao Qingyu's hand as she spoke, and continued: "Ningxiang feels that the emperor has just ascended the throne now, and his position is not yet firm, so it is too early to turn his face with the prime minister at this time. ”

Xiao Qingyu smiled bitterly: "I don't know what Ning Xiang said, but saving you in my heart is more important than seizing power." Besides, even if I turn against Feng Jingzhi at this moment, I will definitely not fall into a situation of failure. ”

"But in this case, the emperor may have to pay a greater price. ”

Ye Ningxiang's words seemed to have entered Xiao Qingyu's heart, and if she turned her face with the prime minister too early, she would sacrifice more people's lives and consume more energy. Xiao Qingyu was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond to Ye Ningxiang.

"Your Majesty, Ning Xiang has been in poor health after the production, Ning Xiang heard that there is a historic nunnery on the outskirts of Yingdu, it is said that there is a Buddha light shining, it is suitable for cultivation, Ning Xiang wants to go there to live, one is to nourish the body, and the other is to pray for Da Rui. ”

Although Xiao Qingyu didn't want this Ye Ningxiang, who had just gotten his hands, to leave his side, he didn't want this hard-won power to become shaky because of his opposition to Feng Jingzhi.

In terms of momentum, he must always be strong, and in terms of attitude, he must desperately defend Ye Ningxiang, the more Feng Jingzhi opposes, the more he will support, only in this way can he prove that he, the emperor, is never at the mercy of anyone. He desperately defended Ye Ningxiang in the court, and the-for-tat confrontation with Feng Jingzhi was largely just a show.

This play is not only for the officials, but also for Ye Ningxiang, so that Ye Ningxiang can feel his embarrassment to the greatest extent, and then take the initiative to back down and help him solve this difficult situation.

Although Ye Ningxiang took the initiative to go out of the palace to practice was the result he wanted to see the most, Xiao Qingyu still showed pain on his face, as if he had struggled in his heart for a long time before he reluctantly opened his mouth.

"Ning Xiang, I'm sorry, when my position is more stable, I will definitely give you a higher status and make you my unique queen. ”

Xiao Qingyu thought that Ye Ningxiang was really trying to help him solve the dilemma in front of him, but he didn't know that Ye Ningxiang really knew that the real murderer of Su Zhiwu was him, and at this moment, Ye Ningxiang took the initiative to go out of the palace to Ying and Xiao Qingyu, and more importantly, in order to get more time and opportunities to create her own power.

Only by holding power in your own hands can you make yourself invincible, and only when you really have your own power can you be invincible when you face off against Feng Jingzhi and even Xiao Qingyu in the future.

Ye Ningxiang looked at Xiao Qingyu with a smile, and pretended to be full of affection and snuggled in Xiao Qingyu's arms, revealing a kind of reluctance when lovers were separated.

Feng Yun's residence in Yongning Palace is much more deserted and low-key than that of Ye Ningxiang in Changle Palace, and I can't wait for Da Rui to have forgotten that there is a queen surnamed Feng in the palace.

Feng Yun herself likes the current state very much, no one pays attention to you, and no one will want to harm you, there is no deceit, just wandering freely in her own small world, except that this world is smaller, her life is also comfortable.

However, as the elder of the Three Dynasties and the only daughter of Feng Jingzhi, the prime minister of the Rui Kingdom, it is impossible for Feng Yun to live such a carefree and comfortable life for a long time.

Early this morning, Feng Yun's father sent someone to send her a letter, urging her to have sex with Xiao Qingyu as soon as possible, and blatantly sandwiched a small packet of medicinal powder in the center of the letterhead, you don't need to look at it to know what this medicinal powder does.

Feng Yun let out a long sigh and looked at the letter and medicine powder in his hand with a sad face. Just when she was overwhelmed with sorrow, the eunuch in her palace deliberately shouted at the top of her voice: "Queen Ye is auspicious!"

As soon as she heard that Ye Ningxiang had suddenly visited, Feng Wan was suddenly startled, and hurriedly put away the letter, for fear that Ye Ningxiang would catch some handle and cure her family's crimes.

"Sister Wan, long time no see. ”

Ye Ningxiang was smiling, and she was still holding the little prince who had just completed the moon in her arms.

"Sister Wan, my sister is actually here today to say goodbye to you. Ye Ningxiang put away her smile, a trace of sadness flashed on her face, she looked at the child in her arms with some reluctance, and said in a low voice: "Since giving birth, my sister has been in poor health, and she is preparing to go to Anyou Temple to live for a long time, cultivate her body, and pray for the blessing of Ruiguo." Just ......"

Ye Ningxiang deliberately stopped talking, and looked at her child with a look on her face, her eyes almost filled with tears.

"It's just that my child is too young, I really can't bear to watch him suffer with me outside the palace, and I really don't feel at ease to be raised by others. ”

While speaking, Ye Ningxiang suddenly knelt in front of Feng Wan and cried: "Sister Wan, Ning Xiang knows that you are kind-hearted, if you hand over Cheng Xuan to you to raise, you will definitely be able to grow up safely." ”

Unexpectedly, Ye Ningxiang's sudden visit was to entrust her child to her, Feng Yun was immediately shocked and speechless. Ye Ningxiang was still pressing forward step by step, her face was even more sad, and her tears flowed more, even the baby in her arms was still crying.

"Isn't it that my sister also dislikes me for losing power now, and is afraid of being implicated by me?"

"What did my sister say, how could Wan'er dislike her sister, Wan'er was just afraid that she wouldn't be able to take care of the little prince and let him be wronged. ”

"You're agreeing to my request!"

Ye Ningxiang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and a smile full of joy appeared on the corners of her mouth.

Such a step-by-step pressure made Feng Yun have no strength to argue at all, and finally she reluctantly smiled, carefully took the little prince, and said, "Well, Yun'er promised that her sister would take care of the little prince." ”

Seeing that Feng Yun had taken in her child, Ye Ningxiang didn't stay long before leaving Yongning Palace. Before leaving the gate of Yongning Palace, Ye Ningxiang breathed a long sigh of relief and showed a meaningful smile.

Sure enough, the child is her Ye Ningxiang's best bargaining chip, not only to stabilize her position, but also to become a weapon to bring down the Feng family.

This child is now temporarily raised by Empress Feng, if Ye Ningxiang leaves the palace for a while, the child will grow up healthily, once something happens to the child, it will become Empress Feng's jealousy of Empress Ye, and wait for the opportunity to retaliate with the life of the prince.

Although the act of using one's own child is too despicable, it is worth it to be able to keep the opponent at a disadvantage.

On this day, the wind was beautiful, the sun was shining, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance of flowers floating in the air. Ye Ningxiang drove lightly, and slowly drove out of Yingdu under the eyes of Xiao Qingyu, heading towards Anyou Temple.

Anyou Temple is a long-established but very low-key and simple temple, the temple is built in the middle of the mountain, often foggy, quite out of the world. It is precisely because of this that every year, many believers either shave here or donate countless incense money, and Shengsheng promotes this small temple into the first temple in the country.

The first thing Ye Ningxiang did when she came to Anyou Temple was not to look for her already arranged residence, but to meet someone, someone she wanted to see before the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

Anyou Temple, a very inconspicuous side hall, a richly dressed man sits on a cushion, a very delicate teapot is placed on the small square table in front of him, and from time to time there is hot air rising from the spout of the pot.

"Queen Ye, you came on time!"

Gu Liancheng took a sip of tea first, opened his mouth unhurriedly, and then looked towards the door, only to see Ye Ningxiang entering the house in the dust, because of the rush on the road, the corners of his forehead were faintly soaked in sweat.

Ye Ningxiang felt that the appearance of the person in front of her was somewhat familiar, but she never remembered that such a person had appeared in her memory, and after forcing herself to stop thinking, Ye Ningxiang took out a bronze medal engraved with the word Mingyue with a serious face and threw it on the small square table.

"Who are you, how did you know that I had this thing in my hand, and how did you send someone to the palace to send me a message?"

Seeing Ye Ningxiang's rare urgency, Gu Liancheng actually felt a sense of revenge, not only did he not answer Ye Ningxiang's question immediately, but he was even more elegant, and even the action of drinking tea was several beats slower.

Ye Ningxiang hated being led by others the most, looking at Gu Liancheng's proud appearance, Ye Ningxiang was furious, and she lost her patience to wait for a reply, and she didn't say hello for half a minute, turned around and walked outside the house.

"This gentleman has worked hard to contact this palace, and he also wants to have some cooperation with this palace, since he is unwilling to negotiate with this palace today, then it is not too late for us to talk next time. ”

This Gu Liancheng resented Ye Ningxiang for killing Mu Xize by mistake, so he wanted to let Ye Ningxiang taste the taste of being snubbed and take revenge on Ye Ningxiang a little, but this Ye Ningxiang is really very different from the past, and he doesn't eat him at all.

Gu Liancheng was in a panic for a while, and shouted at Ye Ningxiang in a continuous voice: "Queen Ye, please stay!"

Ye Ningxiang had a triumphant smile on her face and turned around calmly, but the first thing that caught her eye was not Gu Liancheng who had just snubbed her, but another person she had never seen before.
