It is said that Mrs. Cui was frightened and told the truth: her husband forced her to take the blame for the child and her family. The man coughed and shouted: "Do you recognize the Fifth Highness next door?"
Mrs. Cui was shocked, with a look of fear on her face. The girl smiled and patted her: "Don't be afraid. Didn't you notice that the kang is warm?" Only then did Cui realize that the kang under her body had already been warm without knowing it.
The girl said, "It's only the first day of the lunar month, and we don't dare to leave a pregnant woman on the cold bed. We have hired two doctors next door to prepare."
Ms. Cui looked at her parents: "My parents..."
The young man said: "If you want to discuss with them, just wake them up now; if you don't want to disturb them, send them back quietly later."
"Then my brother and sister-in-law..."
The man pushing the cart shouted outside: "I don't want to move tonight, I'm lazy." Ms. Cui suddenly understood: these people were just scaring her, and they had no intention of destroying the Cui family's door.
The door curtain was raised, and the man pushing the cart pushed someone in. Ms. Cui took a closer look, and it was her husband! She was shocked, sad and angry for a moment. His Highness the Fifth Prince stared at Cui with anger, almost wanting to see her.
After swallowing it in one gulp, Ms. Cui couldn't help but tremble.
Then the man slowly stood up from the chair and waved to His Highness the Fifth: "Hello, Old Five." His Highness snorted heavily and turned away. The man said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Jia Cong.
"
The Fifth Highness and Mrs. Cui were both shocked. After a long while, the Fifth Highness still didn't believe it: "Are you Jia Cong?"
"Yes. It's true." Jia Cong pointed at the girl, "This is Miss Shen, the spy my wife sent to spy on me under the guise of my cousin. So don't send me beautiful women. I will die."
Then he received a look from Miss Shen. Jia Cong winked and continued, "Your Highness is really inexperienced. Do you think you can coax me by just finding someone to take the blame? Do you often coax people like this? You can do it all.
Is that so? That must be because someone is coaxing you. They know exactly what is going on but dare not expose you. By the way, I just said the word 'coax' several times but the usage is different."
His Highness the Fifth Prince's expression changed, and he raised his hands and said, "It turns out that your distinguished minister is Prince Jia. I'm glad to meet you."
"This reflection arc is so long that it can circle the earth three times." Jia Cong said, "Please sit down, please sit down." The young man moved another bamboo chair and put it in front of the Kang. His Highness the Fifth sat down, and the three of them sat in a triangle.
Jia Cong went on to say, "Don't make small talk, let's be straightforward. The wells of Yan and Qi do not interfere with the river. I only want to incite monk Jianru to harm the people of Yan. As for who of you in Qi will be the heir apparent and who will be the queen mother?"
It has something to do with this king."
His Royal Highness the Fifth smiled bitterly: "If I say I don't know, my mother and concubine were forced by the prince, will the prince believe me?"
"I don't believe it." Jia Cong said, "I have obtained direct evidence that your little godmother is an insider. Also, Your Highness, please don't call me Ma Niang Niang Mu Fei in front of me, otherwise I won't be able to help but beat you. Your biological child
My mother-in-law is not dead yet."
His Highness the Fifth Prince said: "Such things are common. That's all. Since the prince can't bear to hear it, I just won't shout." The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched. This was the first time he saw a disciple of the Situ family being so shameless. His Highness the Fifth Prince said sincerely.
He said, "I really don't know. Madam Ma just told me that she had offended Prince Jia in her early years and had done something wrong, which made him take advantage of her."
Jia Cong nodded: "As expected, she didn't tell you how she offended me. I would like to do some popular science, so that His Highness can know who the little godmother you worship is."
He coughed and said, "Her surname is Qu. She is the cousin of King Chen, the sister of Princess Chen, and the niece of Concubine Xianhui. Her father is the Xian Zhengyi doctor, and Qu Shen, the inner treasurer, is a third-rank official.
Member. I have seen a lot of ruthless characters who became so ruthless at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but this is the only one who is Miss Qu San." He then explained without any discount how Miss Qu San hooked up with her brother-in-law, and how
She was planning to kill her sister and become Concubine Chen, so she secretly sent Concubine Hui's men to assassinate her. She told her once. Cui's face was dumbfounded with fear, and her man was actually a little interested. At the end, Jia Cong said with a smile, "
Okay. This is the details of Ma Niangniang. Now that you two know it, you can use it to threaten her in the future if you have nothing to do."
His Highness the Fifth Prince thought for a moment and sighed: "I can't blame her. The world is difficult. If she doesn't hurt Princess Chen, Princess Chen will never hurt her."
"I agree." Jia Cong said, "She is good-looking and smart. Concubine Hui will not let her get married. She has been destined to be King Chen's little wife since she was born. These two sisters are both determined to die.
But there are so many people in desperate situations, why aren't they so ruthless? Besides, since we don't talk about friendship, everyone just talks about strength. Since she lost and Princess Chen won, isn't it just a matter of accepting it? This is all
It has been more than ten years since she became the beloved concubine of King Qi, what else can she not let go of?" Jia Cong pursed his lips and said, "Jianru, Eunuch Guo and the soldiers they recruited have been stationed in Chen State, and sometimes live there.
King Chen’s own private village sometimes lived in the Cifu Temple built by King Chen for Concubine Hui. Empress Ma encouraged Jianru to carry out a terrorist attack in the Yan State, but after it was done, we, the Yan State, ignored it? To put it bluntly, she wanted to use the hands of the Yan State to destroy her.
It’s just Chen Guo.”
His Highness the Fifth Prince was stunned: "This...she..." After a while, he continued, "Since she hates King Chen, why not ask my father to take action."
"Tsk, tsk, what a silly thing to say." Jia Cong said, "Your father and King Chen have no enmity. They are still uncles and nephews. Why should you touch others? The prince is not you, Your Highness." He turned to look at Cui.
Mrs. Cui was at a loss. Jia Cong opened his mouth to say something, but finally swallowed it. He looked back at His Highness the Fifth Prince and clapped his hands and said, "Okay. Your Highness's reaction confirmed that what happened to Jianru was indeed instigated by Empress Ma herself."
of."
"No, no!" His Highness the Fifth Prince said anxiously, "She was really forced by the prince. The time given by the prince was too short, and several months had passed since the incident, and it was impossible to find out after several months. I had no choice but to take this step.
." He begged, "Please give me some time, Your Majesty. We will investigate carefully from the beginning and we will be able to find out the real culprit." Jia Cong seemed to be smiling but not smiling. His Highness Five was anxious, and when he saw Shen Zhimo standing by the table watching the excitement, he hurriedly
Pointing at her, he said, "Didn't this girl just say that men like to kill, so these strategies must have come from men."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Ling's little godmother is not an ordinary woman." The Fifth Highness wanted to speak, but Jia Cong suddenly stretched out two fingers and said, "That's all, does your Highness have anything else to say? For example, you
Who arranged the scripts that Ms. Cui was asked to memorize?"
His Highness the Fifth Prince immediately said: "Me! I arranged it all!"
"As a staff member, do you have what it takes?"
"It's really me!" His Highness the Fifth Prince said, "This matter is too confidential and I dare not tell others."
"Mother Ma didn't recommend anyone to help you?"
His Highness the Fifth Prince shook his head repeatedly: "No, I did it all by myself from beginning to end." Jia Cong glanced at him and said nothing. His Highness the Fifth Prince was anxious, "I can swear!"
"Tch!" Jia Cong sneered, "You swore? Didn't you also swear to Cui?"
His Highness the Fifth Prince said sternly: "Those oaths are all true. If I win the Kingdom of Qi, I will make her son the heir apparent, give importance to her mother's family, and never create a princess again."
Jia Cong looked at him for a long time. His Highness the Fifth Prince raised his right hand and was about to swear, when Jia Cong suddenly muttered: "I actually want to believe you..."
At this moment, Shen Zhimo poured two bowls of hot water, first giving one bowl to Jia Cong, and then giving one bowl to His Highness the Fifth Prince. It was cold and late at night, and neither of them were on the heated kang, so they both stopped talking and lowered their heads to drink water.
Jia Cong finished the drink in one breath, patted his chest, and looked very satisfied. He stood up and put the coarse porcelain bowl on the table. His Highness the Fifth Prince was more gentle than him, and he drank slowly for half a day before finishing it. He also followed Jia Cong's example.
Cong stood up, put down the bowl, and returned to the chair. Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a "plop". Shen Zhimo clapped behind him: "That's right~~"
Then I heard Jia Cong's loud voice: "Master Cui Mian, you can get up now."
Mrs. Cui was startled. She saw her father slowly getting up from the unicycle. "Father!"
Jia Cong said: "Actually, your father was already awake when I scared you, but he was still unable to move." He stood up and raised his hands to Cui Mian, "Old man, I'm offended."
Cui Mian smiled bitterly and made a shaky bow to Jia Cong: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life."
Jia Cong returned the courtesy and said: "No. I believe what this brother just said. If he becomes the King of Qi, he will not marry a new princess, make your beloved son the crown prince, and reuse the old master and Uncle Cui." Cui Mian
His face was a little hesitant. Jia Cong grinned and said, "What are you thinking about? What you are thinking about now is the fact. Your son-in-law has hooked up with his godmother and cheated on his biological father. Tsk, tsk,
I've probably never protected your daughter like this in my life."
Cui Mian looked at his daughter on the kang and burst into tears: "Son, your father can't forgive you."
Mrs. Cui was really frightened tonight and had been very sad these days. When she suddenly saw her father, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Jia Cong quickly pushed Cui Mian: "Sir, go and coax him!"
Regardless of etiquette, he took a few steps forward and hugged his daughter. The father and daughter hugged each other and cried.
After a while, Mrs. Cui's crying became quieter. Cui Mian placed her on the kang and stood up. Shen Zhimo said: "Old man, just sit down. It's warm on the kang."
Before Mrs. Cui could stop her sorrow, she sat up and said with sobs, "Thank you so much, girl. My mother will be cold in the car, maybe she can move to the kang?"
Cui Mian said: "There are about ten Tang Pozi placed in that car."
Shen Zhimo smiled and said, "It's warmer on the kang." He turned around to the car, picked up Mrs. Cui, and carried her to the kang. Mrs. Cui cried again when she saw her mother. Shen Zhimo said, "Don't worry, ma'am, your lord is in a coma after taking medicine."
, this medicine is not harmful to the body." Ms. Cui nodded and thanked her.
Jia Congnai cupped his fists towards Cui Mian and said, "Sir, what do you think about this matter?"
Cui Mian stroked his beard and said, "I feel confused. Could you please tell me from the beginning?"
"Okay." Jia Cong then started from the case of Zhao's Shipyard in Tianjin. He only said that Yan State followed the clues and found Jianru and Eunuch Guo. After interrogating them, he concluded that the culprit was in Qi State. Because he had something to do with Empress Ma.
, thinking that he was blackmailing her into investigating.
Cui Mian thought for a long time after hearing this: "Where is the prince watching?"
Jia Cong said: "Xiao Wang has a few guesses. Mr. Cui would like to hear them. First of all, your son-in-law should be an outsider who was temporarily pulled in by Madam Ma to hold the vat."
"How can I see it?"
"He is not a fool. Madam Ma will not accept a fool as a godson or an accomplice in his legitimate career. He can only be said to have a mediocre IQ. Looking for the Fifth Princess Li Daitao to be stiff, there is no problem with his identity, but the human problem is too big. Your love's temper is really
It's a bit cowardly. No matter how they wrote the notebook, I can't believe that your daughter can do that. Because he was short of time and in a hurry, he chose such an unsuitable person to top the cylinder.
The person who instigated Jianru was extremely skilled, and His Highness the Fifth Prince was far worse than others. The monk still insisted that it was his idea despite being severely punished. If we hadn't inferred from some clues that he still had good intentions in his heart,
Maybe you just believe it. Sir, I am certain that this kind of anti-humanity strategy can never be thought up by a person with good intentions." Jia Cong said solemnly, "So I have to find him.
Otherwise, the world will never have peace again. There will never be peace—" He shook his head, "There will never be peace."
Cui Mian nodded lightly: "Your Majesty's words make sense. Are you suspicious of Ma's family?"
Jia Cong said: "I have doubts. A few days ago, Japan wanted to kidnap her from the Prince of Qi's Mansion. I didn't want her to learn well and follow the Prince of Qi day and night. We don't want to disturb the Qi State too much for the time being. Now that I have met your son-in-law, I feel that there is something else.
Otherwise, who was going to deceive Jianru that day? She could have sent that person to deceive me, and the success rate would be much higher than the Fifth Highness. But she must have known about it, I can be sure of this."
Cui Mian thought to himself: "I have never heard of the blood letter written by the former King of Wu."
Jia Cong looked at him and smiled: "The Cui family of Qinghe is still a wealthy family."
Cui Mian also smiled: "I am sure that no one in the Qi State knows about this."
"It's not surprising." Jia Cong said, "Other countries' governments and people don't know either. Some princes didn't even tell their legitimate sons, and the important ministers in charge of the court were also kept in the dark. But the Ma family knows." He touched his chin, "Can I
It is inferred that Ma's role was to get the news from King Qi and then tell who knew it? Someone else had the idea to instigate Jianru to carry out a terrorist attack. Then she and this person must be together.
How many friends does she have in court?"
"Many." Cui Mian said, "Very many. The imperial court was originally divided into seven or eight sects, but after she came, it gradually became two major sects." Nai sighed, "If I had known earlier, this beast would get involved with the throne.
, how can you marry your daughter to him?"
Jia Cong wrinkled his nose: "How can anyone named Situ not want to take over the throne..."
Cui Mian sighed softly and looked back at the Kang. She didn't know when Cui had fallen asleep! A smile appeared on her lips. After thinking about it, she stood up and bowed to Jia Cong. Jia Cong knew the reason, so he
He stood up and accepted it. Cui Mian glanced at his son-in-law on the ground with his eyes, and said disgustedly: "May I ask the prince, how to deal with this beast?"
Jia Cong blinked with an innocent look on his face: "I heard that the daughters of the Cui family in Qinghe have been innocent since ancient times. Has this brother offended the entire Cui family?"
Cui Mian said: "Forget it."
"That's easy to handle." Jia Cong clapped his hands, "Let me give this thing to the Cui family as a meeting gift. You can do whatever you want, and I can help you if you need my people. I hope there will be more business exchanges between the Cui family and Yan State in the future."
