In the Prince's Mansion, Chu Yiqing had just received a letter from Shi Fifteen. She already knew something about the situation in Pingliang. What she was most worried about now was the mood of the long-term workers, so she immediately asked Shi Shi to take five thousand taels of silver with her. He went on the road to appease the long-term workers, and also asked Shangguan Yu to dispatch the best medicinal materials from the capital and transport them to Pingliang.
"Madam, that godson princess is here again, saying she has something important to tell madam!" Yingrun came in from outside, with disdain on her face, "This godson princess is quite thick-skinned. She pretended to be pitiful at first to win sympathy. Now that the mask of hypocrisy has been taken off, I still have the nerve to come again!"
Chu Yiqing habitually touched his bulging belly and asked quietly: "Did she say what happened?"
Yingrun shook her head and said: "No matter how much I ask, I refuse to tell you. I just want to tell Madam personally. Madam, do you think she is trying to play another trick?"
Chu Yiqing pondered for a moment and said: "What tricks can she play in the prince's house? Just let her in!" [
Yingrun could only nod.
After Yingrun went out, Mrs. Fang came in with a soup bowl. When she heard about Qi Yunluo's visit, she hesitated slightly and said: "Madam, there were actually some rumors in the capital before. Yuhua doesn't know whether she should tell her or not. Madam, I’m afraid it will stain Madam’s ears!”
Seeing her like this, Chu Yiqing knew that these rumors must be related to Qi Yunluo, so he said: "Just tell me, others have done those dirty things, what are we afraid of if we hear it? Maybe we can be prepared." Woolen cloth!"
Mrs. Fang nodded and said: "Princess Qian is Yuhua's cousin. I remember that when my cousin just got married, she once talked to Yuhua about some things about Prince Qian's house. The only concubine in Prince Qian's house who gave birth to an heir, He did not die of illness, but was beaten to death by Prince Qian. It is said that he ran away with someone... Because of this, Prince Qian did not want to see his only son and kept the child in his room all day long until his cousin got married. , that concubine once risked her life to help her cousin, so the cousin was very grateful for the concubine's kindness. After the concubine died, the cousin begged King Qian to release the child from the room, but maybe because he was locked in the room. The child had been in the palace for too long, and it seemed that the child had some mental deficiencies, so Prince Qian always rarely let him enter the palace because of his weak body. But my cousin, I am grateful that he is the only flesh and blood of Prince Qian, and he is also the grandson of the emperor after all. If I have the chance, I want to send the child to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, but unfortunately my cousin can’t decide on the palace!"
Mrs. Fang paused and then said: "Actually, my cousin is not a bad person. You can tell by looking at her treatment of that child. There are many things that happen to her that are beyond her control! Before, Gan Wang had a bad temper because of his eye disease, and he often beat his cousin. , my cousin is also afraid of him..."
Chu Yiqing nodded lightly: "I understand what you mean, but poor people must be hateful. That day, your cousin encouraged Li Yan to take A Bao into the water. This is a fact. So from the beginning, I and you Cousin, we are already on two different roads!"
Fang nodded and said: "Yuhua understands what Madam means. Yuhua has no intention of interceding for her cousin. She just hopes that Madam can make a more accurate judgment!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said: "After all, you are related to Qi Yunluo. If she sees you here, it will cause trouble. You should go inside to avoid it!"
Mrs. Fang nodded quickly and entered the inner room.
As soon as Fang hid, Qi Yunluo took Li Yan into the flower hall. When he saw Chu Yiqing, he knelt down to Chu Yiqing without saying a word.
Chu Yiqing was startled by her behavior and asked: "Princess, why do you give such a big gift? I'm just a little concubine, I'm afraid I can't bear this big gift from you, right?"
Qi Yunluo knelt on the ground and immediately kowtowed to Chu Yiqing. His face was already full of tears, and he said sadly: "Fifth sister-in-law, Yun Luo has never looked down on fifth sister-in-law. Yun Luo really has something to ask of fifth sister-in-law. Please Fifth sister-in-law, save Yunluo, save the Qi family!"
Chu Yiqing asked quietly: "Are you here because of the Qi family's affairs? The Qi family's affairs are the emperor's will. Even if I want to help you, I can't. What's more, I have no position to help you!"
Qi Yunluo knelt there, biting her lip, and seemed to have finally made up her mind. She said in a deep voice: "As long as Fifth Sister-in-law is willing to help me, I have a big secret to tell Fifth Sister-in-law!" She turned her eyes and glanced at Li beside her. Yan glanced and lowered his voice again: "About this child!"
Chu Yiqing looked at Li Yan, who was standing blankly aside, and suddenly remembered Fang's words. However, she really couldn't trust Qi Yunluo, so he smiled and said: "I don't know the secrets in your house." I’m not interested, you can go back and read the full text of Cang Ran Zhi Shen Hong!”
Qi Yunluo was startled, thinking that Chu Yiqing would definitely help her after she said this, but she did not expect that Chu Yiqing would have such an attitude. She quickly knelt forward and said: "Concubine Chu, Li Gan is going to retire." I, he is unkind and I am unjust. I have been by his side these years and know a lot about him and Concubine Wu. As long as Concubine Chu promises to protect us Qi family members and send us to Yanjing, we will be provided with food and clothing for the rest of our lives. Worry, then I will tell Concubine Chu everything!"
Chu Yiqing looked back and looked at Qi Yunluo in surprise. No wonder Qi Yunluo and Li Yan suddenly rushed to the prince's mansion to look for her. It turned out that Li Qian really couldn't hold back his anger! Maybe this was a great opportunity, but the court She didn't want to get involved in the matter, so she immediately said quietly: "You have found the wrong person!"
Qi Yunluo was startled and looked at Chu Yiqing with disappointment.
Chu Yiqing turned around calmly, walked towards the inner room, and casually ordered: "See off the guests!" [
Yingrun quickly stepped forward and said politely: "Fuck you, Princess, please!"
Qi Yunluo sat on the ground in a daze. It wasn't until Yingrun shouted a few more times that she got up from the ground in despair. Even Li Yan didn't care and walked out alone.
In front of the dressing mirror, Chu Yiqing asked Fang to take off the hairpin from her head, and then asked: "What do you think of today's events?"
Fang hesitated for a while and said: "Yuhua looks at her cousin and is desperate, otherwise she wouldn't..."
"Maybe that's her nature!" Chu Yiqing sighed quietly, "The first time Li Yan came to the Prince's Mansion, she was like a little beggar. If she really wanted to teach Li Yan well, she would I won’t let him develop like that! That cousin of yours is deeper than you think!”
Fang bit her lip. She couldn't judge at this moment, so she could only nod.
When Li Huang came back, Chu Yiqing told him what happened today, and said: "Qi Yunluo is a woman who always pretends to be weak. I was afraid that she would want to stir up some trouble again, so I ignored her!"
Li Huang pondered for a moment and said: "In the final analysis, Li Yan is the emperor's grandson, not to mention that the matter has been verified by law after so many years, so it is better not to interfere in this matter!"
Chu Yiqing nodded, and then thought about what Li Huang seemed to be planning before, so he asked: "How are you doing with your work? Is there anything I can help with?"
Li Huang hugged her gently and said, "Just take good care of our son, I will take care of everything!"
Chu Yiqing nodded, nestled in Li Huang's arms and said with a smile: "The child is getting older and older, and I feel tired, and I really don't have that much energy to deal with these things!"
Li Huang smiled and said: "Then don't think about anything and let Sister Jinyu accompany you well. If that doesn't work, just stay in Zhuangzi in the suburbs. I've already had someone put on a floor heater, and it's not cold either!"
When Chu Yiqing heard this, he immediately became interested and planned to go tomorrow.
The next day, Chu Yiqing took Jin Yu and others to move to Zhuangzi in the suburbs. After hearing that he left, Qi Yunluo visited several times, but was dismissed by the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion.
Qi Yunluo couldn't find Chu Yiqing, and she became more and more anxious. On this day, she was about to go out again to find a solution. As soon as she and her mother-in-law walked out of the door, they were stopped by a weird man in black robes.
"Ah!" The old lady screamed, and just as she was about to call her followers to beat the weird man in black robe, the weird man in black robe whispered: "Princess Qian, if you don't want to be kicked out of Prince Qian's Mansion, just listen to me.
That’s it!”
Qi Yunluo's face was full of panic at first, but now he heard the words of the black-robed weirdo, and his expression immediately changed. He looked back and coldly ordered the shouting woman: "What are you shouting for? I know this person!"
The woman quickly shut her mouth.
Under the black weft hat, Chongwen slowly raised the corners of his scarred lips.
In a secluded teahouse, Qi Yunluo and Chongwen were sitting in an inconspicuous corner, while their accompanying mother-in-law stood two meters away to wait on them.
"Who are you?" Qi Yunluo lowered his voice and looked curiously at the man's face under the black weft hat.
"I was brought into the palace by counselor Jin, so I naturally know the situation of Princess Qian!" Chongwen also lowered his voice and said.[
When Qi Yunluo heard that Chongwen said he was Jin Tengjing's person, his face became a little wary.
"Don't worry, Princess Gan. Jin Tengkei has taken away my credit. I only have resentment towards him. I know that he is trying to find a way to help Prince Gan divorce the princess, so I want to help the princess so that I can earn a future for myself in the future!
Chongwen said in a low voice.
Qi Yunluo smiled slowly and said: "You don't even dare to show your face. Do you think I will believe you?"
Chongwen whispered: "It's not that I don't dare, I'm afraid that the princess will be scared if she sees it. If the princess doesn't mind..."
Chongwen held his hand on the brim of his weft hat and whispered: "Chongwen, just show it to the princess!"
Qi Yunluo's eyes widened, and when Chongwen pulled down his weft hat and saw the scars on his face, she was so scared that she closed her eyes.
Chongwen quickly put on his weft hat and whispered: "Chongwen scared the princess!"
Qi Yunluo put his hand on his chest, finally suppressing his heartbeat, and whispered: "Okay, now tell me, how can you help me?"
Chongwen asked in a low voice: "When the princess goes to the prince's residence, does she want to ask the prince's concubine for help?"
Qi Yunluo's eyes darkened and he said coldly: "Are you following me?"
Chongwen quickly said: "Chongwen just wants to know himself and the enemy, because in this way, we can cooperate! Princess, in fact, if the prince's concubine won't help you, you can go to King Jue!"
Qi Yunluo looked at him warily: "Are you from King Jue?"
Chongwen laughed softly and said: "Chongwen, like Princess Qian, is a person who wants to get out of the predicament. As long as Princess Qian believes in Chongwen, Chongwen guarantees that no one can take away Princess Qian's position!"
Qi Yunluo still hesitated.
"Princess Qian, how long has it been since I last saw your parents?" Chongwen said suddenly.
Qi Yunluo was startled, quickly raised his eyes, and looked at Chongwen in confusion.
"Princess Qian's parents and brothers and sisters are all well now. As long as Princess Qian agrees to cooperate with me, you can not only keep your position as Princess Qian, but also reunite your family!" Chongwen placed a package of jewelry on Qi Yunluo. In front of her were all silver bracelets and hairpins.
Qi Yunluo could tell at a glance that these things belonged to her mother and several younger sisters. Her expression immediately changed and she whispered: "What did you do to them?"
"Don't worry, Princess Qian. I just want to help you and your family, and I won't do anything to them!"
Qi Yunluo whispered: "I don't believe you, I want to see my relatives!"
Chongwen slowly shook his head: "You have no choice now, Princess Qian. If you are willing to cooperate with me, everything will be easy. If you are not willing to cooperate, the master will execute a few disobedient slaves, and others will not be able to interfere!"
Qi Yunluo bit his lip and said bitterly: "Okay, I'll cooperate with you, but don't forget what you said. You have to help me keep my position as the princess, and also keep my family!"
"Don't worry, Princess!" Chongwen raised the ugly corners of his lips happily.
At this moment, in a restaurant not far from the tea house, Lei Lei quickly went up to the second floor and whispered: "Master, everything goes well! Now Chongwen has found Qi Yun Luo Zhuxin Yushen!"
Li Huang nodded and said, "I heard that your brother-in-law is going to marry the Wu family. It's time for you to remind him!"
Lei Lei's face was full of embarrassment, and he whispered: "Sir, you also know that Prince Rui Ao has been looking for his subordinates. If I go this time, won't I just throw myself into a trap?"
"If he really just wanted to take you back to marry Ruimin this time, he would have gone to the Prince's Mansion long ago. During this period of time, he has been hanging around outside, constantly making friends with ministers in the court. I am afraid that he is one of the drunkards. If you don't care about the wine, just go ahead! What's more, after all, you and him are still 'ours', so many things can be explained clearly!" Li Huang looked confident.
Lei Lei smiled mischievously: "It turns out that I have understood it a long time ago. If this is the case, then my subordinates can go with peace of mind!"
Li Huang nodded and asked again: "How is Liu Feng?"
Lei Lei said with a smile, "Have a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots in the morning and evening. Because of him these days, my subordinates' muscles and bones have been stretched. It's a pity that the boy is very tough-talking and doesn't say anything!"
"There's no news from Tenglong and Leiyuan yet?" Li Huang frowned unconsciously.
"No, but I have confiscated the property that Shangguan Yunyi has managed to obtain over the years. My subordinates are looking at it, and Shangguan Yunyi won't be able to hide for a few days!" Lei Lei said softly.
Li Huang nodded and ordered: "Anyway, don't let Liu Feng die. He knows a lot about Shangguan Yunyi. Shangguan Yunyi might find a way to save him!"
Lei Lei nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Li Huang nodded and asked Lei Ting to go out and do some work.
The Wu family received Concubine Wu's explicit instructions, and their interactions with Rui Ao became more and more frequent. Wu Yi even invited Rui Ao to the Wu Mansion several times. After having a good meal and wine, he naturally asked his daughter to accompany Rui Ao in the mansion. Turn it around a few times to connect with your feelings.
Two days later, Yang Xin joined forces with Hanlin and Guan Youli, and jointly signed a secret statement saying that Zhenzhuo Wuyi had a close relationship with the crown prince of Dai and had evil intentions. There was also evidence that Wuyi's people helped smugglers from Dai, and in this way
, the emperor was furious and summoned Wu Yi to the palace overnight.
In Concubine Wu's bedroom, after the thoughtful little eunuch came to report, Concubine Wu hurried to the imperial study.
"Empress Wu, the Emperor is discussing important matters with Mr. Wu right now. I'm afraid I don't have time to see Concubine Wu!" Xiao Fuzi stood outside the imperial study, stopped Concubine Wu, and said politely.
"Eunuch Fu, I really have something urgent to do to see the emperor. I would like to ask Eunuch Fu to inform you!" Concubine Wu said urgently.
Xiao Fuzi wondered: "Wu Fei, it's not that I don't want to pass the news, it's because the emperor has issued an order before, saying that no one will be seen at this time, and I don't have the guts to disobey the emperor's order!"
Concubine Wu's face turned cold. Just when she was anxious, she heard a fierce roar coming from inside. Her heart tightened, and soon she heard Wu Yi's voice begging for mercy.
"Eunuch Fu, I must go in!" Concubine Wu was afraid that it would be too late if she didn't go in, so she asked her entourage to hold Xiao Fuzi while she broke into the imperial study.
In the Imperial Study Room, Wu Yi was so frightened that he was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing. After the Long Case, Li looked cold and seemed very angry.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down!" Upon seeing this, Concubine Wu quickly knelt down beside Wu Yi.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me. This servant has stopped Concubine Wu, but Concubine Wu must break in..." Xiao Fuzi came in and knelt on the ground to apologize.
Li Yin suppressed his anger and said coldly: "You go out first!"
Xiao Fuzi nodded quickly and retreated.
Concubine Wu quickly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I was in a hurry. Please don't blame Aojian Tianqiong!"
Li frowned coldly and said nothing.
Concubine Wu quickly begged for mercy for her martial arts skills: "Your Majesty, I wonder what my eldest brother did wrong to make the Emperor so angry?"
Li looked at Concubine Wu coldly and sneered: "What did you do wrong? Ask your good big brother!"
Wu Yi quickly said: "Your Majesty, I intend to marry my daughter to the Crown Prince of Dai, but it is also for the sake of the Emperor. As long as I win over the Crown Prince of Dai, the two countries will have a good relationship..."
He said angrily: "Wu Yi, you have been an official for so many years in vain. Don't you know what the crime of an official having an affair with a foreign royal family is?"
Wu Yi quickly glanced at Concubine Wu, who said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I asked the Emperor that day when I was in the palace. The Emperor said that the Crown Prince of Dai Kingdom is a man of great talent. If there is a princess, he will definitely marry her to her.
To the prince, I think..."
"What do you think? Do you think your niece and the princess have the same identity? You are so proud!" Li sneered.
Concubine Wu's face turned pale.
"I haven't figured out the purpose of Ruiao's coming here this time. It's better for you to be anxious to make friends with him one by one, and even want to marry your daughter to him. Do you still take me seriously? Or do you?
Do you think that the world of Li Kingdom already belongs to your Wu family? You can let your Wu family make the decision?"
Li's big hat was pulled off, and both Concubine Wu and Wu Yi were dumbfounded. They kowtowed and explained, but Li had already preconceived the idea and was not willing to listen. He said in a cold voice: "Anyway, I will not agree to this marriage. Wu Yi, I will punish you."
Your one-year salary will be reduced to the rank of censor! As for you, Concubine Wu, it’s better not to go out these days and just shut yourself up and reflect on your past!”
Concubine Wu and Wu Yi were both stunned and wanted to plead again, but Li was already impatient and had them kicked out.
The matter between Wu Fangting and Rui Ao was over. Two days later, the emperor received another leak, indicating that Qi Yunluo, the principal concubine of Prince Qian's Mansion, had contact with Li Yu, who was imprisoned in the Forbidden Palace. The emperor was furious and immediately cut off the relationship. He took Li Qian's position in the Ministry of Rites.
On the outskirts of the capital, Li Huang was riding on a tall horse, heading towards his house in the suburbs in high spirits.
"How is Madam's health these days?" Because he was busy with Li's work, Li Huang had not gone home for three days and had not seen Chu Yiqing.
"Let me tell you, my wife is in very good health!" Lei Lei said quickly.
Li Huang nodded and said, "You have made a great contribution to this matter. What do you want?"
Lei Lei immediately said: "Master, can you return Lei Lei's dignity as the master of His Highness the County Prince?" When talking about this matter, Lei Lei was filled with blood and tears. After arriving in the capital, A Bao was busy every day because he had no shop. The master only studies, or goes to the palace to accompany the empress dowager and the emperor. Lei Ting, his master, has become Bao's pistachio. Every time, he damages his medicine or tears up his collection of pictures of beauties, which is really miserable.
Li Huang couldn't help but laugh. These days, he was busy with court affairs, and the rest of his time was spent with Chu Yiqing, caring about her health, and he didn't discipline A Bao enough. Now that things have come to an end, he should also Stay with A Bao well.
"Don't worry, Abao won't bother you anymore in the coming days!" Li Huang smiled slowly, "I have asked for leave from my father, and I will be at the house for about ten days. You should also take it easy." Take a vacation and take a rest!”
When Lei Lei heard this, he couldn't help but said happily: "That's great, thank you very much!"
Li Huang slightly raised his lips and said with a smile: "Don't be too hasty to be happy. The martial arts incident has occurred. Now there are already people in the court who dare to make friends with Rui Ao. Rui Ao will naturally think of you when he has nothing to do, let alone December is about to enter, and Ruiao can only stay for half a month at most. During this half month, he will definitely find a way to take you away, so you should take care of yourself!"
When Lei Lei heard this, the smile on his face froze, but he quickly waved his hands and said: "What are you afraid of, I'm here to take care of you. Read the full text of the Poisonous Mercenary Princess!"
Li Huang smiled slowly: "But the prince has changed his mind again. It would be good to have you as an internal support in Dai Kingdom. Maybe it will be useful when we unify the four kingdoms in the future!"
When Lei Ting heard this, he quickly begged for mercy: "Master, did Lei Ting do something wrong? I can't let Lei Ting go!"
Li Huang laughed heartily and drove his horse ahead.
Behind him, Lei Lei chased after him hard, shouting: "Master, Lei Lei will be my man in life, and his ghost in death. Lei Lei will never leave me!"
The two got excited about playing, but they didn't notice two horses standing on a hillside not far away. There was a girl sitting on the horse, with complicated hair on her head, and her hair was covered with pearls and jade, which was very expensive. She was so angry that she was wearing a fiery red dress. The hem of the skirt was made of beautiful butterflies woven from thousands of colorful jade threads. She also had an equally fiery red tulle on her arm, and she was walking on water-red steps. It's so dazzling that her face, which was originally only three points beautiful, was suddenly made gorgeous and alluring.
The man next to the woman is wearing a sapphire blue brocade dress, a jade-colored belt, and a jade jade pendant carved from bamboo hanging on his waist. His long body stands in the sun. He is extraordinary and handsome. He was born in the royal family and has been for many years. The dyeing added a touch of nobility to him, making him even more unforgettable. The sun shone on his body, creating a faint halo of light around him, transforming the profound face of the mysterious figure into a soft color.
After listening to Lei Ting's words, the woman in red stamped her feet fiercely and whispered: "Brother Emperor, didn't you say there was a way to get Lei Ting to return to Dai Kingdom?"
The handsome man smiled slowly and said: "Don't worry, now that the prince has given Li Huang such a big gift, he should naturally repay us!"
Ruimin was startled, not understanding what Rui Ao meant, but he saw Rui Ao turning the horse's head and heading down the slope, "Imperial sister, if you want to bring the consort back to Dai Kingdom, just come with the eldest brother!"
Ruimin had no choice but to quickly mount his horse and follow behind.
At this moment, on the streets of the capital, Mai Xiang and Jin Yuzheng were walking around from shop to shop.
"I want more of this material. Last time your aunt made a dress like this for my mother, the women in the village said it looked good. When I came here, there were several families who wanted to marry their daughters, and they asked my mother to bring some back to them.
My daughter is very dignified when she makes wedding dresses!" Jin Yu pointed at the brocade material and said to Mai Xiang. The country bumpkin's habits made the waiter in the shop look at her with disdain, then stepped forward and said: "Sister, you know
How much does this material cost? One horse costs ten taels of silver, do you have it?"
Jin Yu's face flushed red, and before she could speak, she saw Mai Xiang coldly throwing a twenty-tael piece of silver in front of the waiter, and said in a cold voice: "This one, and those over there."
, I want them all and have them sent to the villa of the Prince's Mansion in the suburbs!"
When the waiter heard that he was from the Prince's Villa, he quickly apologized and nodded in response.
After coming out of the silk shop, Mai Xiang weighed her wallet and said to Jin Yu: "Mom, people in this capital look down on others, don't worry about it!"
Just as Jin Yu was about to say something, his vision suddenly blurred. A figure rushed past. Jin Yu intuitively touched his waist. The wallet hanging on his waist had long disappeared. Jin Yu exclaimed in shock: "Oh, mine."
wallet!"
Mai Xiang paused, then quickly handed the things in his hand to Jin Yu and said: "Mom, don't move here, I will go and get the wallet back!"
Jin Yuzheng wanted Mai Xiang to leave, but Mai Xiang suddenly disappeared.
Mai Xiang chased the thief into an alley, but who knew that a dozen gangsters suddenly appeared in the alley, surrounding Mai Xiang...
