The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 126 Gaining fame and secretly scheming (4)
The faint smile on Wen Qingzhu's face is elegant and humble, but in his eyes, it is not difficult to find his arrogance, even some eyes are higher than the top. "Master Liu, you are being polite. Now that the crisis of tranquility has been resolved, you have contributed greatly."

The two walked into the refugee area talking polite words of greeting all the way.Before entering, they heard bursts of joyful voices, making the group of people stop involuntarily.

"This is..." Wen Qingzhu looked to Liu He for advice.

Liu He frowned, looked forward, and saw Chu Qing's shadow in the crowd.Suddenly, he thought of Wen Qingzhu's previous relationship with the Chu family, and he was ambiguous: "Oh, it's Miss Chu's condolences to the refugees."

"Miss Chu Family?" Wen Qingzhu's eyes became a little anxious, and there was a touch of nostalgia in his voice.

Last time, when he returned home in fine clothes, he saw Chu Qing by chance among the people who greeted him, and that peerless appearance has always been lingering in his mind.Although he later went to the Chu family to ask for peace and was rejected, it did not dampen his covetousness towards Chu Qing.

Finally, he saw Chu Qing in the crowd who was dressed in light blue, floating like a fairy.She wore a veil, but she still couldn't hide her peerless beauty, and she was with the refugees with the most touching smile, without any dislike or affectation.

It's really like a fairy descending to earth to save the people from the fire and water.The beauty is incredible, and the beauty is too beautiful to dare to desecrate.

It's a pity that such a stunning beauty no longer belongs to him.

In a daze, regret and reluctance appeared in Wen Qingzhu's eyes.He is now prosperous in official career, has a bright future, and has a wife with a strong family background. If he can have such a peerless concubine again, his life will be complete.

Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu's whole body trembled with excitement.

However, after the scene of Chu Zhengyang's stern rejection appeared in his mind that day, his excitement turned into a disappointed sigh.

Chu Qing didn't notice Wen Qingzhu's appearance, and after instructing the refugees a few words, she left with her maid.And Wen Qingzhu didn't step forward, after all, the guards behind him were all from the Yue family, and he didn't want any rumors to spread into the hands of his father-in-law and his wife.

Looking at the back of Chu Qing's departure, Wen Qingzhu felt a little regretful in his heart. He shouldn't have divorced his wife so severly at the beginning. If he could be more tactful and understand her with emotion and reason, with Chu Qing's attachment to him at the beginning , will definitely agree to commit herself to him and be his concubine.

"Let's go." With clear shadows in his mind, Wen Qingzhu no longer wanted to visit privately, and hurried back to the post house.

In the middle of the night, Hu Furong came to Hu Boyi's study and said a few words to him, in exchange for the latter looking shocked.

"Father, as long as you bribe Mr. Wen, the imperial envoy, we can move to Chu's house all at once." Hu Furong continued to bewitch.

Hu Boyi stood up, paced back and forth, hesitant: "This is not a small matter, collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, inciting civil violence, each of which is a major crime against the nine clans, if there is no conclusive evidence, how can it be feasible?"

Hu Furong sneered: "The evidence is all man-made. As long as Mr. Wen is willing to cooperate, this matter is not difficult."

Hu Boyi was silent, frowning.

Hu Furong took the opportunity to add another flame: "Father, now that the danger of Anning City has been lifted, if we don't take action, when the market recovers, it will be the day when the Chu family rises and the Hu family perishes. Could it be that now, Daddy Are you still hesitating?"

This sentence became the last straw.Hu Boyi's eyes widened, and there was a firm light in his eyes, he would never let the Hu family fall under his hands.

"Prepare the sedan chair and go to the posthouse."

Father finally made up his mind, Hu Furong showed a bloodthirsty sneer.Chuqing, Chuqing, do you think you can beat me?This time, I will make your Chu family fall into a place of eternal doom, so that you will not be able to live or die.

The Hu family's sedan chair soon arrived at Anning's post house, where the official stayed.

After handing over the greeting card, Hu Boyi waited anxiously outside.

If the Chu family does not die, the Hu family must die.Such a situation made him unable to sit still.

"Wai Yuan, our lord invites you." A reply soon came from inside.

Hu Boyi straightened his clothes and followed the visitor into the post house.

In the Anning post house, there are small bridges and flowing water, overlapping mountains, winding paths and corridors, which are very characteristic of the south of the Yangtze River. Hu Boyi is the green bamboo seen in the quiet environment of the lake pavilion.

"Grassman Hu Boyi, I have seen the imperial envoy." Hu Boyi bowed and saluted.

"You don't need to be polite, you come to see me late at night, what's the matter?" Wen Qingzhu sat on the chair, dozed his eyes, and said in a flat tone.

Hu Boyi quickly presented a brocade box with both hands, the guard beside him took it and handed it to Wen Qingzhu.

The latter took the folding fan and lifted the lid of the brocade box, his eyes widened while he was asleep. "Wai Yuanwai, what do you mean?" Wen Qingzhu asked in a cold voice, looking at the thick stack of silver notes and a dozen gold bars in the brocade box.

Hu Boyi explained: "My lord, don't misunderstand me. The grass people just saw the lord come all the way from Jianning to work hard for the common people. I really can't bear it. These property are the only things that the villain can get. They just want to express their feelings and hope that they will return." The adults laughed and accepted."

Wen Qingzhu smiled mockingly, and gave his subordinates a wink. The latter understood, covered the brocade box, held it in his hand, and did not return it.

Seeing this, Hu Boyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry for the troublesome officer." A faint sentence represented Wen Qingzhu's acceptance of his kindness.Naturally, he also guessed that Hu Boyi came here to ask him for something.

When you come to ask for help, the initiative is naturally on the side that is being asked.After Wen Qingzhu received the silver, he didn't speak, and Hu Boyi also stood there awkwardly, not wanting to mention it.

After the two were silent for a cup of tea, Wen Qingzhu suddenly smiled and said: "It's late at night, if there is nothing else for the guards, I will have a rest."

Hu Boyi panicked, and hurriedly said: "To be honest, my lord, Cao Min did come here this time to discuss something." After speaking, he glanced at the guards around Wen Qingzhu.

Understanding his eyes, Wen Qingzhu backed away, waiting for Hu Boyi to speak.

After the latter saw that there was no one around, he came to Wen Qingzhu's side, put his hands in his ears, and told Wen Qingzhu the plan in his heart like this.

Wen Qingzhu, who was not paying attention at first, changed his face after hearing Hu Boyi's words, and said sharply: "Bold!"

"The villain doesn't dare." Hu Boyi hurriedly stepped aside, kneeling on the ground.

Wen Qingzhu stared at Hu Boyi who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes flickered, and he said with a sneer: "Member Hu, do you know what you said just now, if it gets out, what should you do?"

"Small man...Small man..." Hu Boyi couldn't figure out Wen Qingzhu's attitude, but the words had already been spoken, so there was no reason to take them back.Gritting his teeth, he continued: "The grievances between Mr. Wen and the Chu family have also been heard by the villain. Back then, Mr. Wen wanted to marry a lady from an official family, and he divorced before marrying. Such things are naturally common for men. But , if the Chu family is still the one who keeps silent and Chu Qing is still the little-known lady in the boudoir, it will not affect the adults. But now, the Chu family is well-known, and Chu Qing is also respected by ignorant people. In such a situation, If the common people knew what Master Wen did back then, I am afraid it will have a great impact on your official reputation, and even...even if it is passed to the ears of the Holy One, it will make him misunderstand you."
