Black Moonlight, after her robbery

Chapter 225 A glance at Fangting

As a result, these changes were shocking. As soon as the deserters were cleared, they began to drive back to Luan.On the way, Ti Zhen told Wen Yu about Xiao Zaili colluding with the King of Nanyang to redeem the five border cities. Finally, he and Shen Wangshu discussed it and decided to report it to the emperor first.

In fact, there is no hope that the emperor will ask Xiao Zaili, because there is an indisputable fact that there is no need for the so-called truth between countries. Interests always override the truth. No one will go to Japan for a statement that has no factual basis. Turning against each other became enemies, not to mention that the Wei State had experienced two civil strife, so they would not turn against each other at this time.

Just as they had guessed, the emperor just kept silent for a long time when he found out, and ordered not to mention the matter again. He only made a silent note in his heart.

His appearance of gentleness could not conceal his inner aging. Coupled with Chen Guiren's frequent use of medicine, the emperor fell ill on the second day after returning to the palace. He temporarily suspended the morning dynasty and appointed King Qin as regent to temporarily take charge of the court.

After Wen Yu was ordered to govern, his power overturned the government and the opposition.Because he came to the rescue twice and was extremely respectful and humble, the emperor who had lost his favorite minister and son wanted to gain a lot of trust and favor.

However, when power and fame are enjoyed, they are also accompanied by endless flattery, greetings and greetings. Princess Shi, who used to be the least popular among the ladies, has become a favorite, asking for help, making connections, and giving out congratulatory gifts one by one. He was piled higher than the building, and he was used to being called mean and jealous. He was praised by outsiders for a while. Ti Zhen was still a little uncomfortable. It was just that he was used to the harsh world in the school and merchant houses, so he simply worked well on the surface. That’s it.

The wives who came and went, their husbands had served with the King of Nanyang, but they were not used often, but they were lucky enough to be close to each other and escaped accountability, so they were very flattering and humble towards the higher-ranking Princess Qin.

"Princess, I'm not telling you that besides the queen, you are the most noble woman in Chang'an City now. Look at the furnishings in your house and the tea you brewed. 'The top of the snow contains green'. This is the only thing this summer. Dendrobium is even rarer now in autumn. His Majesty gave it to His Highness, and Your Highness gave it to you. After all, it is the one that is most popular with you." Mrs. Dong sat on the rose chair and said with a smile.

Mrs. Lin held up the tea with her sleeves and sniffed it, and smiled, "Yes, it's such a fragrant tea. I'm just lucky enough to come here and drink a cup. The ones in my house can't even compare."

Ti Zhen shook his head and gently fiddled with the gold bracelet on his hand, "It's just tea. Compared with your wives' husbands and the adults in the court who dedicated their lives to the Wei Dynasty and devoted themselves to the Wei Dynasty, you don't mind it."

Mrs. Dong raised her handkerchief and smiled, "How could this be possible? With the power of King Qin and the favor of the princess, we are absolutely incomparable. Especially for someone as virtuous as the princess, I'm afraid that the care in the future will not be enough. "

She looked at Ti Zhen with envy, and said with a bit of pride, "Seeing that the princess has always been the favorite of the house, I know that His Highness has a long-term affection for you and puts you on the top of his heart. Maybe your words are more effective than the elixir!" "As she spoke, she said with wide eyes to please: "I don't know, Princess..."

Ti Zhen suddenly interrupted her, "His Royal Highness is nostalgic for the past, so he treats me well and is loyal to His Majesty. Apart from that, I don't have the right to interrupt. I don't ask for help, I just ask not to say the wrong thing." good."

Mrs. Lin was slightly startled, "Isn't His Highness very good to the princess? How could he still blame you..."

"Pampering and doting is one thing, but government and government are another thing. How can they be compared?" Ti Zhen sighed, "Last time when the Luoxi Street bombing happened, I just said a few words, and His Highness said I was He interfered in politics and ignored me for a long time, taking advantage of Mr. Zhao and leaving me in the cold."

As she said this, she shook her wrist and continued to feel sorry for herself, "I know that my background is not welcomed by others. His Highness is willing to give me a status because of the kindness between me and his young couple. Not only can I share my worries, but as long as I can I'm content as long as I'm not abandoned. If I'm not as good as you, with a good background and a family to rely on, I have nothing left."

When she said this, everyone realized that Princess Jilai's family members were all promoted to sixth-rank officials, but Princess Qin's brother started out as an eighth-rank official and was still a casual official. Although he is now relying on His Highness's The merit has been raised to the sixth level, but in the end that's not the case.

The King of Qin is so strict that he doesn't even allow his first wife to have any favors outside the law, so who has the ability to influence him?The two of them started to stare at Nahan, and even the words they wanted to ask were stuck in their throats.

Ti Zhen squinted their expressions, slowly raised her fair face, and asked, "What did Mrs. Dong want to say just now?"

When Mrs. Dong heard her name being called, she quickly excused herself and said, "It's nothing, nothing. I just wanted to ask the princess what the color of your lipstick is. You look really good."

After some more warmth, they dispersed.Ti Zhen watched them slowly leave the room. He stopped smiling when he saw a middle-aged lady turned her head, bowed to her gently, and then left with a smile.

Wen Yuan wondered, "Who is that?"

Ti Zhen said: "Li Shi, the wife of Guo Xiuzhi, the commander of the imperial army, most likely came to express her gratitude to me because of her husband's intercession for His Highness. It is really rare that there can be such a sincere person when people's hearts are unpredictable."

She snorted, stood up and stretched, "Relax a bit, my face froze with laughter."

"Hey, why are you so stiff? Who dares to make Princess Qin uncomfortable?" A light and smart female voice came from behind.Ti Zhen turned around to look, and suddenly smiled like a flower, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the two people's hands, "Sister Xianyu, Sister Cui, it's rare for you to come here, sit down quickly." He urged Wenxiu to get the Longjing they were used to drinking. Tea.

Xianyu sat down, brushing her skirt, with a gentle look on her face, "I know you are a very busy person now, so how dare you come here when there are many people. I have been so busy these days that I came here to express my condolences." He smiled faintly and said, "Quan How does it feel to be in charge of the government?"

Ti Zhen looked at the colorful chrysanthemums in front of the door and thought about this: "There are many famous people, so naturally you can't be more careful. Looking at the people who have been coming these past few days, they are praising me with hidden things in their words. In fact, it's not just to make me speak. Say something nice, give me support, or build a good relationship so that you can easily come to me to do things in the future. Even if you know this is the case, it will be even harder to deal with."

"How to say?"

"If I help, if there is one, there will be two, if there are two, there will be three, and if there are three, there will be countless. Then if anyone in the court has a problem, do I have to help them all? If so, If you don't help, you will become an enemy of Liangzi. It will be even worse if the sky and the moon step on you one day." Ti Zhen raised his eyes and smiled: "It's better to set up a humble and mediocre persona. They only think about me. I just thought forget it.”

Cui Naijin chuckled, "I've been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger for a long time. I wonder why there have been rumors outside lately that our King of Qin despises the princess's background and won't even let her come to the table to eat." She covered her tears with her handkerchief. "I thought His Highness had gained the power and even forgot about it. It turned out that you poured cold water on yourself. I also wanted to come over to vent your anger, but as soon as I walked in and saw that the furnishings in the room were intact, I knew you couldn't bear your anger."

Xianyu frowned slightly, "How can you tell this?"

Naijin clapped his fingers and said: "The Sun family in Pingyang two years ago, the Meng family in Shiping the year before, and including the old nest in Xiajiang, whose 'home' is still there? Have they all been demolished?"

Xianyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and Ti Zhen pursed his lips, "Just now I said you are noble, now you start laughing at me."

Naijin continued: "Laughing at you, you have to laugh when you have to." She sighed silently, "This week Yishui comes back as if he is a new person. He used to nag me, but now he has a straight face. Even if he smiles, he only smiles superficially, which is very scary."

She raised her face and suddenly became serious, "Especially if you know what he asked me? He asked me... is Shen Wangshu alive? Can this person be resurrected after death?"

Ti Zhen and Xian Yu looked at each other for a moment, then listened to Nai Jin continue: "Before I said anything, he turned around and went to the Taoist temple to find an alchemist to do some magic to turn yin back into yang! What kind of heart is this, officials? Doesn’t the minister take good care of next spring to practice magic and Taoism? Seeing how careless he is, I am worried and want to kick him."

As she spoke, her sigh was like a stream of ice water pouring down her heart.

Ti Zhen didn't expect Zhou Yishui to have such a big reaction. In the past, he couldn't wake up even when struck by lightning. His reaction was always half a beat slower than others, but a small word could make him think so much.

I wanted to say it out loud, but then I remembered that Shen Wangshu's instructions were just muttered and turned into a touch of comfort, "Let him go. After hoping and begging, we have no intention. The authorities are obsessed, and we can't understand it for a while."

Naijin sighed, "It can only be like this."

In the afternoon, Nai Jin was worried that Zhou Yishui would leave early, so he did not stay for snacks.Ti Zhen and Xian Yu stood up to see each other off. After coming out of the corridor, they went to the back garden to enjoy the flowers together.

Spring has passed and autumn is at its peak. The chrysanthemums in the garden are colorful and sway gracefully in the wind.With a little force on his fingers, Xianyu picked off one and rubbed it gently, "Is Shen Wangshu really not going to tell him? Or not telling everyone?"

Ti Zhen shook her head, "It's not a last resort. It's just for revenge. I'm afraid he won't even want to tell us." She thought about it, "Actually, I also understand that it is better not to see each other forever. This may be good for everyone."

"What's so good? We're not that pretentious." Xianyu's fingertips covered the stems of the flowers and trembled slightly, "It's just a pity that he could have saved his life, but he kept the root of the disease and ended up like this..."

"But I understand him." Ti Zhen turned his face and looked at the chrysanthemums blooming like bright clouds in front of him, "because he has always had such a temperament, and has always said, 'I would rather die with the fragrance on the branches than blow it down in the north wind.' temperament."

Hearing this, Xianyu's lips turned pale with helplessness, and he raised his hand to wipe away the cold tears from his eyes.

The wind blows, and the red flowers are flying like rain. The sky and the ground are filled with these noble and elegant flying flowers, like bewitches, like bewilders, like dreams...
