Rudonghai

Chapter 235
The second lady has a delicate mind, this is indeed a good way to make money.Not only will she not be exhausted, but she can also get a lot of money in exchange for a bunch of people as backers, and she can use them to her advantage.

She thought well, but the emperor was never worried about the Ji family, only the second lady stayed, and more people stared at her.

When the second lady just made a move, both the emperor and Xiao Xilin had already received the news.If this method can't be effective, it's okay to ask some things that are neither serious nor serious.It's just that if the second lady goes too far and intends to use the ministers to deal with the royal family like the eldest prince did, the emperor will be the first to spare her!

"Miss Ji is young and beautiful, and she is also from the Ji family. Now that she is taking refuge with the Second Madam, she must take this aunt's words as an imperial decree and do it obediently. Who knows that she has become a pawn for the Second Madam to use?"

Xiao Xilin nodded slightly: "Ma'am, you have a good idea. Miss Ji has always had a simple mind. She just wanted to eat well and wear well, so she didn't think too much about it. Just write down what Mr. Shi or other benefactors said, and pass it on to the second lady." That's enough. There are no other constraints, so she is naturally happy."

Gu Yunxiao sighed, thinking that when Ji Qingrou escaped from the Hou's mansion, she was penniless and flustered, a young and beautiful girl, when she inquired about the second lady, she might have been very depressed.Hungry and cold, how can a girl who grew up in the Hou's mansion bear it.

Now the cost of food and clothing in the Red Mansion is only a little lower than that of the Hou's Mansion, but Ji Qingrou is already very satisfied, so she naturally obeys the second wife, fearing that she will go back to the days when there is not enough to eat and not to wear warm clothes.

"So what is your husband going to do? The evidence of the crime is convincing. Are you going to send someone to arrest the second lady?" She buried her head in Xiao Xilin's shoulder sleepily, and asked softly.

Hearing her slightly nasal voice, Xiao Xilin said helplessly: "It's okay, the second lady has the emperor to worry about it, and there won't be any disturbances."

After Gu Yunxiao listened, he nodded slightly, and then remained motionless.

When Xiao Xilin lowered her head, she found that she was fast asleep, with distressed expression on her face, she was lying on the bed with Gu Yunxiao in her arms, and reached out to caress her flat belly.

He tucked in the quilt for Gu Yunxiao, and walked out the door lightly, with a murderous look on his face.

The second lady has already found out that Gu Yunxiao is pregnant, and she knows that Mrs. Xiao is the Taifu's weakness. If she wants to hold Xiao Xilin, she just needs to take Gu Yunxiao away.

It's not that she didn't realize that she was being followed, and if she didn't act, she might lose her life.In this way, the second lady is planning to go all out.

Die or win.

It's just that before the second lady could do anything, she was full of joy at night, Ji Qingrou won Shi Yan's heart, and was willing to borrow a group of private soldiers.

Ji Qingrou wanted to take her out for hunting, and Shi Yan knew that she liked to be majestic, so he naturally agreed.

The second lady has no manpower around her, but these personal soldiers are all first-class experts.It is as easy as pie to take Gu Yunxiao away.

She is ready, just waiting for the east wind.I figured out that Taifu Xiao was always discussing state affairs with the emperor in the palace in the morning, and would return to Xiao's mansion at noon.

Although kidnapping people in broad daylight is too risky.But the second lady is going to make a fool of herself, first go to the backyard of Zhen Guohou's mansion to set a fire, and when the people of Xiao's mansion go to help put out the fire, and when the guards in the mansion are lax, she will be able to succeed!

The second lady was full of hope, she didn't need to show up in person, she just needed the people below to do the work, and she just had to wait for the good news.

But after waiting and waiting, she stood on the high platform of the red building, looking in the direction of Zhen Guohou's mansion, but she didn't wait for the signal-like fire, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Aren't those people the soldiers of Shifu?
Even sneaking into the backyard of Zhen Guohou's mansion and setting fire to it is impossible, what a bunch of idiots!
Fortunately, the second wife prepared with both hands. While recruiting the Shi family's soldiers, she also hired people from the Jianghu to help.

As long as you wait another quarter of an hour, if there is no movement from the Shi family's soldiers, these people from the rivers and lakes will shoot rockets into the backyard of the Hou's mansion. With the light of the fire, those who stayed in ambush near the Xiao's mansion will move.

But the second lady waited for a full quarter of an hour, but still did not see the fire, she just felt her heart skip a beat, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"What are you waiting for, ma'am? Waiting for those idiot guards of the Shifu, or those hired low-class people?" A voice sounded abruptly from behind, and the second lady brushed away the hair that was blown away by the strong wind, slowly Tun turned his head.

This person's voice was very high-pitched, without the coarseness of a man, but also without the femininity of a woman. She twitched the corner of her mouth and asked back: "So it's Mr. Xi, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Xiguan was not surprised that the second lady would recognize him. After all, the Ji family often went to the palace to meet the emperor, and this second lady had met him a few times before. It's difficult for you, but madam's heart is really too big."

To actually plan to follow the example of the great prince and concubine back then, and prepare to collect information from various ministers and hold it in the palm of his hand so as to control these people and threaten the emperor. This is the most unbearable thing for the emperor.

The first time I was unprepared, I was caught off guard, but now I am extremely vigilant, how can I make the second lady come true?

The emperor was even quite annoyed, the same method was used repeatedly, and he hated being threatened the most. Wouldn't the second wife be in bad luck?

"What's wrong with those personal guards and Jianghu people, have they all been executed by the Imperial Forest Army?" The second lady sneered, the royal family has always been like this.The means are obviously cruel, but he pretends to be a kind-hearted elder, scolding himself for being ignorant.

"They are helping the evildoers, so naturally they shouldn't stay." Xiguan didn't take those people seriously, and said indifferently: "If you have any last wishes, the second lady, you might as well ask them, and the miscellaneous family can answer another question for you."

The second lady took a deep breath, this time she lost, completely.But if time is turned back, I will still make the same choice.

Ji's family was exiled. She searched everywhere but couldn't get any news.

But the second wife is not willing to give up just like that, so she will collect money everywhere, win over a group of low-rank sesame officials, try her best to get news from them, and sell it, it will be a lot of money money?
It's just that she was unwilling and dissatisfied, and she became more and more courageous, casting her mind on the emperor and Taifu Xiao.Unfortunately, after planning for a long time, it fell short in the end.

First of all, we should not seek out outsiders and entrust our hopes to these people, we should patiently cultivate a group of confidants, and now we don't have to be so passive.Second, after all, he underestimated the emperor, he must have put a lot of eyeliner around him.What I have done, I am afraid that within half an hour, the emperor will already know clearly.

Thinking of the busyness and joy of these days, being seen by the emperor, is it like a jumping clown, just a dying ant struggling in the palm of his hand?

The second lady sighed, leaned on the fence, and asked softly: "I just want to ask, and please tell me the truth...Master, and the members of the Ji family, have they all been lost on the road of exile?" Life?"

Stared closely by her pair of black eyes, Xiguan smiled and did not hide anything: "The Ji family and his party encountered a swamp on the road of exile, and a few of them stumbled and fell, and the others helped to rescue them. , It's a pity that we got deeper and deeper together, and in the end, except for a few children who didn't contribute, the rest couldn't be rescued."

The second lady sneered, saying that she couldn't be rescued, maybe it was the emperor's intention to pass through this swamp, and it was even possible to push people into it.When the time comes to die, it is said to the outside world that they have fallen completely, and the body cannot be found. Who will know if they died and threw it down, or if they really fell down by accident?
The emperor was really insidious. He promised Ji Jiaqian to exile the Ji family for three thousand miles and spared their lives.Looking at it now, the emperor pretended to be benevolent on the surface, agreed, turned around and killed the man.
The second lady's chest rose and fell, and finally there was an unspeakable sadness.The husband is dead, the daughter is gone, and the remaining ignorant children of the Ji family, when they are in exile, how can they survive without the protection of the elders?
In the end, there would be no one in the Ji family except her and Ji Qingrou.

She was doomed to die, at least she had to keep Ji Qingrou, the only child.

The Second Madam didn't like Ji Qingrou's innocent and domineering personality, greedy for life and afraid of death.But the Ji family has been destroyed, only she still has at least half of the blood of the Ji family.

Fortunately, the second lady kept an eye out and didn't let Ji Qingrou join the Red Mansion completely. She usually only said that she was serving her girl: "I'm guilty, but Rou'er just obeyed orders and didn't know about it. I'm willing to die to apologize, but I beg Mr. Xi to speak kindly in front of the emperor, so as to save Rou'er's life. She is my sister-in-law's only daughter, and also the emperor's great-granddaughter..."

Xiguan was startled, shook his head and said: "It's not up to the miscellaneous family to decide, I can only say that we will do our best."

The second lady nodded to him. What Ji Qingrou will do in the future is at the mercy of fate. Now she is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and she cannot protect herself.

She took a step back, and under Xiguan's gaze, she jumped down from the tower.

It is better to die in your own hands than to die in the hands of others.

Husband, daughter, their family can finally reunite on Huangquan Road...

Official Xi sighed and did not stop him. The imperial guards inspected the second lady's body and nodded to him, confirming that the second lady had pleaded guilty and died: "Go back to the palace, the emperor must be waiting impatiently."

The Shi family's personal soldiers were not enough, but the people from the rivers and lakes that the second wife found from no one knew where were really difficult to deal with, which delayed some efforts.

Fortunately, he went in time and did not cause a catastrophe.

"My lord, what should the Shi family do?" The Yulin army arrested all the soldiers of the Shi family. None of them had been on the battlefield, but they were just showy. Like quails, each of them dared not make a sound, and the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army disdained them very much.
