Only Xiao Heng was left sitting at the top, looking at the basket of strawberries beside him, and slowly pulled the corners of his mouth.
That's really interesting.
It has only been a short time since his background was exposed? Only a few months, but how many things have happened? People like the Prince of Fenyang are eager to come out and suppress the Su family who helped him.
There were also some confidants who were eager to step forward and frame him.
There were even people who were interested in the dead Queen Hu.
There are also those who take the opportunity to build closer relationships.
I've really seen everything.
He stood up and walked to the window. Although it was freezing cold, the greenhouses in the palace were still able to grow many exotic flowers and plants. At this moment, there were pots of bougainvillea under his corridor, which looked very fresh.
Chen Dong’s case is not over yet, and now there is the incident involving Hu Jianbang.
Hu Jianbang... ..
What does the person behind this bring up this person mean? He has no connection with this person... ..
At the same time, in the Tong family's mansion, the Taoist priest in white took off his hood, looked at Qi Yunxi writing behind the desk, and praised with a smile: "Good painting! Good artistic conception! You are really making progress!"
Qi Yunxi was not very satisfied. He put down his pen and washed his hands slowly. Then he asked him to sit down and asked him, "Is the matter done?"
The white-robed Taoist priest had a warm expression on his face. "Yes, it's all done. Hu Jianbang's incident has become quite serious now. He can't handle the trouble he caused by himself, so he has to ask Xiao Heng for help."
Qi Yunxi snorted. She herself disliked the Hu family very much, so she waited until Queen Hu died and then framed the Hu family.
Most of the people in the Hu family have died, and the remaining one, Hu Jianbang, actually has no blood relationship with the Hu family, but Qi Yunxi has been paying attention to him for a long time.
It comes in handy now.
"Hu Jianbang, what's the matter with you? He won't be useful until we get to the capital." Qi Yunxi took a sip of tea, calm and composed: "I heard that Xiao Heng has always been sharp-tongued and decisive. I want to see how he plans to deal with this person. If he doesn't deal with it well, I'm afraid that he won't live so comfortably for the rest of his life."
Why was Xiao Heng able to turn the tables? Ultimately, it was the intention of Emperor Yuanfeng. It was actually very simple to overthrow them. All he had to do was to grasp Emperor Yuanfeng's mind.
The previous King Fenyang and King Zhuang were both stupid. They didn't do what they should do, but they both made things difficult for the Su and Song families.
The Taoist priest in white touched his beard and said, "In fact, we can also provoke the Pang family to fight with them. I don't believe that the Pang family is really so generous about his background and has no grudges against him."
"We'll talk about this later." Qi Yunxi shook his head: "There's no need to involve so many people. It's fine if they can be used well, but if they are not used well and the Pang family becomes an enemy, then the gain will outweigh the loss."
The Taoist priest in white clothes said nothing more and told her other things. The two chatted for a while, and suddenly someone knocked on the door. Qi Yunxi called in, and a young man with clean hands flashed in, knelt down and saluted, and then reported softly: "Madam, someone is following Qiao Danning..."
Qi Yunxi paused while making tea and said, "Who is it?"
The Taoist priest in white also looked at him.
"It's a peddler. He said he was a mirror polisher and sold his goods. But after careful questioning, I found that there was no such person before." An Zi bowed his body: "I'm afraid it's because of the previous incident with Prince Fenyang. In addition... the people sent to keep an eye on the Wang family villa in Tongzhou came back to report that they often sent people to run back and forth between the capital and Tongzhou."
Qiao Danning was the one who handled it after all.
"Look, I said that girl is a cunning little fox." Qi Yunxi's expression remained unchanged, and the smile on his face was a little cold: "Since they are so interested in Qiao Danning, then let them do it. You go and ask Qiao Danning to run outside a few more times and lure the person out."
An Zi hurriedly agreed, but hesitated: "After leading it out..."
Qi Yunxi smiled and said, "Give them a big gift, go ahead."
The Taoist priest in white frowned slightly: "Isn't this too risky? There is no need to go this far..."
"I didn't provoke them, but they didn't know how to live or die." Qi Yunxi's attitude towards the Su family was much colder, but because Su Yao had stepped on Xu Huixian before, there was no need to hesitate. Now that he had the chance, he should naturally give them a slap in the face.
"Children who are disobedient need to go through some things." Qi Yunxi had a smile on his face, "Otherwise, they will easily become arrogant."
The Taoist priest in white said no more.
The sun was about to set, and the sky was covered with dark green clouds, which looked spectacular. It was already time to cook at this point in the villa, and there was rising smoke everywhere and tenants rushing back from their farm work.
Wang Yuerong stood under the banyan tree and looked down. She pointed at the carriage on the narrow path and laughed, "Look! That's my brother's carriage! It must be the capital bringing us something again."
The two of them lived in the villa, and both the Wang family and the Su family sent them gifts all the time, for fear that they would be wronged, so the two of them had become accustomed to it.
Su Yao looked in the direction her finger pointed, smiled and shook his head, then followed her down the mountain. Just as they got down the mountain, they heard someone report that Mrs. Wang Wu had arrived.
This was unexpected. Wang Yuerong looked at Su Yao in confusion: "Aunt Wu is still pregnant, why did she come here in person?"
Mrs. Wang Wu originally had a very high status in the Wang family, and now that she is pregnant, it is even higher. The whole family is afraid that something might happen to her, and they want to treat her like a treasure. Logically speaking, Mrs. Wang Wu should not be allowed to run away at this time.
"I'll go take a look." Wang Yuerong gave up her joking thoughts and was about to leave, but before she could leave, Mrs. Wang Wu had already come in, with her pregnant belly. As soon as she came in, she pulled Wang Yuerong to stand under the banyan tree and looked down. She pointed at the carriage on the narrow path and laughed: "Look! That's my brother's carriage! It must be the capital bringing us something again."
