Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 217 Request
In the Qi family, Qi Wen and Qi Cheng were suffering, as if they didn't expect it to develop like this.And Qi Chen sat aside, frowning.

"How did this happen? Brother, you have held so many imperial examinations, yet you still make mistakes in the test questions?" Qi Cheng looked at Qi Wen suspiciously and asked.

At this time, Qi Wen's face was as black as an iron pot, and he said solemnly: "Second brother, you have stayed in the court for so many years, don't you see that someone is deliberately targeting our Qi family? And you first Don't talk about me, how could you deceive the public and the law during the assessment, so that people can be caught?"

Hearing Qi Wen say this about him, Qi Chengcheng was not happy. "Brother, your second brother, why would I do such a thing? Even if I have a wicked heart, I don't have the guts. Besides, even if it turns out that someone is targeting our Qi family, so what? You were dismissed like me. Official position, now at home? Who can be better than whom? Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps."

Facing Qi Cheng's ridicule, Qi Wen was about to be blown up.Now that the Qi family has shown signs of decline, it's good for him, the second brother, to start mocking him here, without even thinking about how the Qi family will go.

"Second brother, you are complaining here now, why don't you think about what will our Qi family do in the future? Not to mention anything else, although I was dismissed, our eldest wife still has someone to attract, unlike your second wife, who doesn't have any official positions. If you are dismissed, who else can you rely on? Could it be that you have to rely on that wretch who was stabbed into a paralyzed man by his wife with a gold hairpin?" Qi Wen also retorted unceremoniously.

Qi Cheng's face turned ashen immediately, and he stood up against the case, facing Qi Wen directly, glaring angrily, "Who are you calling a wimp? Zi Yang married an ignorant country woman who dared to stab her husband. She's just a crazy woman, we Zi Yang are just unlucky."

"Bad luck? I was stabbed, and I was stabbed. I am still an unconscious paralyzed person. I have no ability, and I blame my wife for going crazy. But then again, when the Wang family was destroyed, you were not the one who disrupted the situation? Otherwise, how could Wang Yong have not discovered that Qi Ze has already sent someone to investigate the evidence? You are responsible for this situation now, so don't try to let it go." Qi Wen stood up and turned to the top not to be outdone. road.

"You..." Qi Cheng seldom talks back to Qi Wen, because both of them have lost their official positions, and they couldn't help reacting violently with their breath held in their hearts.As a result, this talk back, I found that it was not noisy.

Just when Qi Cheng was speechless and angry, he heard Qi Chen urging coldly beside him: "Okay, second uncle. The matter has come to an end, and it is useless to say anything. Since you are already at home, take good care of him." Second brother, the second aunt can't do it alone. Obviously, it was the king of Jin who moved against the Qi family while the prince was not in the court, and made us helpless. Now father and second uncle I don’t have official positions anymore, so it’s better to restrain myself.”

"Then, what should our Qi family do?" Qi Wen was also flustered for a moment, at a loss, "The Qi family made their fortune as a civil servant, without the position of Minister of Rites, it is really not far from failure."

"Father, don't worry. Now we have reached the most critical period. The Holy Majesty is about to die. As long as the crown prince successfully ascends the throne, won't the position of Minister of Rites still belong to my father? Our Qi family and the crown prince are grasshoppers on the same boat. Only when we get better can we get better. So as long as we help the crown prince ascend the throne, our Qi family will have everything." Qi Chen said unhurriedly.

After being stunned for a moment, Qi Wen calmed down, "You are right. But the strange thing is that the crown prince has not been in court recently, so what is the crown prince busy with? Could it be that he has some plan?"

As for Murong Sheng's attempt to rebel by going to the local government to rob money and property, it is natural that as few people know about it, the better.So up to now, among Murong Sheng's faction, only Xia Houyan and Qi Chen knew about it, while Qi Wen and Qi Cheng didn't know about it at all.

And Qi Chen had also received Murong Sheng's order, so he never thought of telling the Qi family about this matter.

Qi Chen lowered his eyes to hide the unclear meaning in his eyes, and said vaguely: "What the prince wants to do, he naturally has his own plans. We courtiers can only keep our own place and be obedient. When the time comes, Everything will be clear to us."

"Then... what should we do now?" Qi Wen could only ask Qi Chen for his opinion.

"Father, let's take care of grandfather. My grandfather is not as strong as before recently. After hearing that you and second uncle were dismissed from office, he was so angry that he passed out. There is no rush in this situation, so we can only wait slowly." .”

"What are you waiting for?" Qi Cheng asked anxiously.

Qi Chen's eyes were unclear, and he bent his lips into a smile, "Waiting for the final blow with all our strength."

In the Fusheng Pavilion, Qi Ze recalled what happened in the court recently, Zhaozheng Emperor Longyan was furious and dismissed Qi Wen and Qi Cheng one after another, and felt that there was something wrong with it.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was Murong Xiu's hand.Although it is understandable for Murong Xiu to take actions against the Qi family, it is obvious that Murong Xiu did not know the priority.

He already knew the news that Murong Sheng wanted to lead troops to rebel, so he should do his best to investigate the rebellion, so why would he take action against the Qi family at this time?is this necessary?
Although she wanted to take the opportunity to disrupt the Qi family, after Murong Sheng was brought down, the Qi family would naturally cease to exist.But when Murong Xiu did this, Qi Ze felt that he was helping her.

But... why did Murong Xiu help her?Would he be so kind?Could it be that she was grateful for giving him the real soldier talisman?

Let's not say that Murong Xiu is not a grateful person, and Que Yu gave it to him with the real soldier talisman at that time, she didn't show up, but why...

Forget it, I should have thought too much.Qi Ze couldn't help shaking his head, although it wasn't necessary, but Murong Xiu could handle the Qi family well, it wasn't a very puzzling problem.To help her, it should be just an illusion, a coincidence.

"Zhu Yu, closely monitor every move of all the aristocratic families in the court. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately." Qi Ze ordered sharply.

"Yes." Zhu Yu outside the window responded.

Qi Ze looked at the clouds and clouds in the sky with serious eyes.At this point, we can only wait for the news from the Dongteng Pavilion, and monitor the abnormalities of all the aristocratic families in the court.The war is imminent, and the situation must not lose control.

I just hope that Zhan Shi can be more careful and that nothing will happen.

In the Dongteng Pavilion, a woman with a charming face seems to be very dependent on a man's arms, her eyes are like silk, and the corners of her eyes are full of amorous feelings. Touched the man's chest.

The skirt of the clothes was undone, revealing most of the man's strong and strong chest, and when the jade fingers were about to slide down, the man caught his naughty hand.

"What is Zhan Shi doing? Didn't Ben Gong give enough last night?" Xia Houyan approached with a soft face, and said with an ambiguous voice.

"Heh." The woman smiled charmingly, her stunning face pressed against the man's chest, her voice was soft and charming, as if a cat's claw was scratching at the tip of her heart, "Your Highness, you like to make jokes about the slave, what exactly does the slave want, don't you?" Does your Highness not understand?"

While speaking, the woman's hand continued to gently tease the man's chest, making the man's heart flutter.

"What does Xiao Zhanshi want?" Xia Houyan grabbed Zhanshi's evil hand, and kissed the woman's pink neck with his lips, "What will I do now?"

The man's actions caused the woman to gasp, she punched the man's chest with her fist, "Your Highness, you... hate it."

Looking at the charming face in front of him covered with rosy clouds, and the eyes that were eager to speak seemed to be dripping water, Xia Houyan kissed the girl's lips lightly, and said with a smile: "What's the rush? What can I do for you tonight? I will definitely Let Xiao Zhanshi be satisfied."

"Really?" The woman raised her beautiful eyes, "Your Highness can't lie to my family."

"Don't lie." The man coaxed softly, and lifted the woman's chin lightly with his fingers, "How could I be willing to lie to you."

"Your Highness." The woman was overjoyed, hugging the man tightly, hiding the coldness hidden in her eyes.

Tonight, she must try to get the news out!

In the courtyard of the Qi family's big house, Princess Yongning was smiling and picked up the embroidery pattern on the table. After looking at it for a while, she asked, "Do you think the embroidery looks good?"

The maids around the house looked at each other, and replied after a long time: "The princess's paintings are naturally beautiful."

Princess Yongning smiled happily when she heard the satisfactory answer, and said complacently: "Of course, my princess's painting is of course the most beautiful. Only this sycamore leaf is worthy of my princess's children." Then put the drawing paper Put it on your chest, and imagine the appearance of groups of children with a smile on your face, "If the daughters born are like this princess, and the sons are like Yinzhi, then the princess will make clothes for them every day, and the one with the pattern of sycamore leaves just good."

At this moment, Nanny Gui came in with a bowl of medicine, and said hypocritically with a flattering smile: "Oh, the princess is drawing flowers again, and this time it's a plane tree pattern?"

"Grandma Gui is here."

"That's right, the old slave is here to deliver medicine to the princess." Nanny Gui put the medicine bowl on the tea table as she said.

Princess Yongning glanced at it lightly, put down the flower in her hand, and said casually, "Mother, is there any problem with this medicine?"

Nanny Gui immediately broke into a cold sweat from fright, with a stiff smile on her face, "Princess, what are you kidding, why is there something wrong with this medicine?"

"Of course there is a problem. My princess has been drinking for so long, and my stomach doesn't respond at all." Princess Yongning doubted: "Could you have secretly changed my princess's medicine and sold the best medicinal materials secretly?" Was it exchanged for money? In the palace before, there were several eunuchs with unclean hands and feet, who exchanged the high-quality products of their masters for inferior products, and secretly took them out of the palace to sell. This princess has always felt contemptuous about this, if Nanny Gui is short of money, you can tell this princess."

"...Why did the princess say this? How could this old slave be short of money? The old man treats this old slave very highly, and would reward him with small gadgets from time to time. What's more, how could the princess' old slave of medicine have the guts to do it? Don't worry, this old slave is too old to be frightened, princess, don't scare this old slave." Nanny Gui heaved a sigh of relief, and Yilaomai made a fool of herself.

"Really? But why has it been drinking for so long, it's useless." Princess Yongning frowned and said unhappy.

"Oh, my good princess." Nanny Gui stepped forward and rubbed Princess Yongning's shoulders to comfort her, "It's not easy for this woman to get pregnant. Back then, the eldest lady burned incense and worshiped Buddha many times in order to conceive the young master." Yes, but does it mean that you can get pregnant if you are pregnant?"

After thinking for a moment, Princess Yongning said, "What you said is not unreasonable."

"The old slave knows best about women's pregnancy. When the eldest lady was pregnant with the young master, it was the old slave who took care of her. So, please rest assured, the princess, and drink the medicine first. Maybe there will be a baby soon. It's a baby." Nanny Gui picked up the medicine and handed it to Princess Yongning, her voice guiding her secretly.

After Princess Yongning glanced at Nanny Gui, she picked up the medicine and obediently drank it.

"By the way, Nanny Gui seems to be delivering the medicine later than usual, could something have happened?" Princess Yongning put down the medicine bowl and asked casually.

"Oh, the princess has been drawing flowers in the house, so she probably doesn't know what's going on outside." Nanny Gui sighed, "Just a few days ago, the elder master and the second master were dismissed by the magistrate. I was so angry that I passed out and just woke up. The old slave still has to take care of the old man, after feeding the old man a bowl of porridge, he hurried over to deliver medicine to the princess."

"Father?" Princess Yongning exclaimed in surprise, "How could father dismiss father and second uncle from their official positions?"

"Who would know?" Nanny Gui cleverly concealed the fact that Qi Wen and Qi Cheng had made a big mistake in the court. Removal, who can stop this?"

Nanny Gui exaggerated, leaving only Princess Yongning's eyes full of thought.

In an ordinary teahouse, a man with a handsome face was looking at the slightly bitter rough tea on the coffee table, put it to his mouth several times, and then put it down quickly.Obviously, he is not used to this rough tea.

He looked at the door several times, but no one came, as if he was getting impatient, the man stood up and was about to walk out of the door.

As soon as he walked to the door, the door suddenly opened.A woman wearing a veil came from outside the house, and looked at the man and called out: "Brother Sihuang, long time no see."

"Yongning." Murong Xiu whispered, "I don't know what is the purpose of sending a letter to this king to meet here?"

Princess Yongning took off her veil, and said bluntly: "Since Brother Sihuang asked directly, this princess is not a person who beat around the bush, so I just said it directly."

Because she is asking for help, Princess Yongning can't put on too much airs, so she can only call herself "I" as an ordinary person, "I heard that Qi Wen and Qi Cheng were dismissed by the father, I invite the fourth brother to come here This narration is to hope that the fourth brother will speak out to persuade the father to let the father restore the two officials to their original posts."

"What did you say?" Murong Xiu looked at his so-called younger sister, frowned and said: "Yongning, you sent a letter to invite me, but you just hope that I will come forward and restore Qi Wen and Qi Cheng to their posts? "

Hearing that Princess Yongning kept calling him "Fourth Emperor Brother", Murong Xiu felt a little angry.I haven't seen you for such a long time, and it's still this unfamiliar name, which hasn't changed at all.

After hearing Princess Yongning's intention, Murong Xiu couldn't restrain his temper.

"Yes, this princess hopes that the fourth brother can say a few words of kindness to restore these two officials to their posts." Hearing Murong Xiu's blunt tone, Princess Yongning couldn't hold back her face, and followed her blunt tone and called back to her original position. claim to be.

Hearing this, Murong Xiu became even more angry, and directly refused: "This is impossible, Yongning, you'd better go back to the Qi Mansion, and don't meddle in the affairs of the court if you are a girl."

"Why?" Princess Yongning shouted: "Why does the fourth brother always speak coldly to me? Since he was a child, the fourth brother has rarely entered the palace, rarely met with his mother and concubine, and never bothered me. When talking to me, Every time it's just a few words. The only thing I said a few times was to ask me to marry Qi Ze, a man I don't like. This time I sent a letter to beg you, but you refused directly. What is your sister in your heart?"

"Yongning, is this your attitude when you talk to this king? Why did this king refuse? Well, this king will tell you now. Qi Wen and Qi Cheng were both dismissed by this king. Tell me, why did this king refuse?" Want to help them get back to their posts?"

"What? You did it." Princess Yongning was stunned.

"Yes, it was done by this king. The Qi family has been following Murong Sheng against this king, and this king has long planned to destroy the Qi family. Because of you in the Qi family, this king stopped for a while, but Dismiss these two. Otherwise, Qi Chen will not be able to escape." Murong Xiu's voice was extremely cold. "So, Yongning, don't say such useless things to this king. Qi Chen should be glad that he married this king's own sister, otherwise, he would have to stay at home now."

Murong Xiu bypassed Princess Yongning and walked towards the door, "Yongning, I'm very busy now, so I don't want to send any more letters to ask me to meet you. Because it was you who sent the letter, I put down my official duties and came out to see you. Just because you are this king's own younger sister, if it were someone else, they wouldn't even be able to see my face."

Princess Yongning seemed to understand something, she looked at her brother's back with red eyes, and suddenly said: "Wait, brother, can Yongning ask you one more thing. Yongning rarely asks for help, just this time, Yongning hopes that Brother Huang can agree."

Hearing Princess Yongning calling him "Emperor Brother" with a trembling weeping voice, Murong Xiu's heart softened for a moment, and he turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Princess Yongning hesitated for a long time with her head lowered, and finally raised her head and said: "Yongning doesn't understand the affairs of the court, but he also knows that the court is no longer peaceful, and the emperor is fighting against the three emperors. Soon in the future, a new emperor will appear. "

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Princess Yongning took a deep breath and said: "Yongning just wanted to say, if the emperor's brother ascends the throne in the future, can Yin Yi be spared? He is the husband of the emperor's sister and Yongning's favorite man. I can't let him something."
