Qi was a little overwhelmed. She closed her eyes and finally stopped talking: "That's not what I meant. Aunt, whatever you want to do, I will listen to you."
After hearing this, Qi Yunxi's face warmed up a little. She lazily took off the hairpin on her head and poked the charcoal in the charcoal stove, smiling lazily: "Don't worry, you won't be implicated. In this world, is there anyone smarter than your father-in-law? If even he agrees with the plan, there is nothing to worry about."
What else could Qi say but smile bitterly.
After finishing her meal in the evening, she respectfully and politely saw Qi Yunxi off before removing her makeup and washing herself with a tired face.
Xu Chong walked in slowly and was surprised to see her listless look: "It was you who was looking forward to your aunt's coming. Now that she's here, why are you unhappy?"
Qi's lips moved for a while, but she really didn't know what to say. After a long time, she sighed and said, "I'm just afraid that I will cause trouble for you and your father-in-law in the future."
Xu Chong had originally picked up the roasted chestnuts on the edge of the charcoal basin and was about to eat them. Upon hearing this, he turned the chestnuts in his hand and put them back: "What are you talking about? You already have several children, and you still say such things."
"It was because of my aunt that you had to marry me..." Qi covered her face, especially upset today: "She did it on purpose. The assassin who assassinated Queen Hu was clearly a death warrior of our Li family..."
The assassination of Queen Hu was fake, and letting Qi Yunxi go to Queen Hu was real.
But thinking about it now, those things seemed so long ago.
Xu Chong reached out and handed her a handkerchief: "Did your aunt say something today?"
"She has no intention of stopping at all." Qi was terrified: "But up to now, the former crown prince, the second prince, the third prince and Prince Zhuang are all finished..."
No one is a fool.
The reason why Emperor Yuanfeng was so furious this time was simply because he also sensed something was wrong.
You won't always be this lucky.
It would be the same even if Xu Shun was there.
If this matter is discovered one day, the future of the Xu family will be even worse than that of the Li family.
Xu Chong saw his wife's fear and collapse. He paused and said softly, "Father has his own ideas about these things. To be honest, even you and I have no room to influence them."
It has long been impossible for the Xu family to extricate themselves from this quagmire.
Qi was helpless.
She actually knew in her heart that Xu Shun would not have succumbed to Qi Yunxi just because he married her as his daughter-in-law.
This also made her even more afraid. As the second assistant, she was basically second to none. When Yang Bo retired, Xu Shun would be the best in this empire.
Emperor Yuanfeng favored him very much.
What on earth made him still seek favors from the tiger with Qi Yunxi
Qi Yunxi still holds the forces left by the Li family and the deposed emperor. Qi Yunxi has made a lot of efforts to help Xu Shun's career to be so successful in recent years. Both sides have benefited from each other and complemented each other to achieve this point.
They want to move forward, how can they do it
At this moment, Qi Yunxi left the Xu family's house and returned to the Tong family's mansion in the capital in a low-key manner. After getting off the carriage, he went straight to the study from the second gate.
There was already someone standing by the window waiting for her with his hands behind his back. He turned around and smiled at her when he heard the noise. He asked with a smile, "Are you back? How was the talk?"
Seeing the newcomer, Qi Yunxi's arrogance had subsided a lot. He nodded and said, "Of course, the old fox is unwilling to support us. But he is eager to deal with Xiao Heng. Others may not know, but doesn't he know it in his heart? The former crown prince was in trouble, but it was a conspiracy created by him. If Xiao Heng takes the throne, how long can this matter be concealed? The old man knows it very well. He agrees to this matter and will help us to get it done."
The Taoist priest in white smiled and said, "It's time to let him take action. This old fox has become more cunning through his practice. He has gained a lot of benefits, but he is like a pixiu, taking in but not giving out. You see, he has played political games to the extreme. Compared with him, it's no wonder that Xu Yonghong was played to death by him and still regarded him as a guiding light."
Qi Yunxi also sneered.
The Taoist priest in white was silent for a moment and then asked again: "What about her? How is she?"
This "she" naturally refers to Qi.
Qi Yunxi's tone suddenly became serious: "You unlucky thing, after a few years of good life, you have forgotten your last name, and you actually lectured me, even talking about the fact that Queen Hu let us go. How can she have the face to see the ancestors! And the nine clans of the Li family?!"
The reaction of the Taoist priest in white was much calmer than hers. Seeing the newcomer, Qi Yunxi's arrogance had been restrained a lot. He nodded and said, "Of course, the old fox is unwilling to support us. But he is eager to deal with Xiao Heng. Others may not know, but doesn't he know it in his heart?
