After Mrs. Qin thought about it for a long time, she finally decided to let Zhao Qiu talk to King Gaomi about this matter, and told him to insist that the reason why Zhao Shi wrote to inform Zhao Mansion of this matter, but did not write to King Gaomi, was because he was afraid that Princess Gaomi would know about it. .
For this reason, King Gaomi also recognized it. His feelings for Rong Suihe were actually very complicated. He wanted to get close but dared not, wanted to give up but was a little reluctant to let go. At this moment, he was determined not to let his son get support easily, but if he wished that Sleeping Crane could die like this, he might not have such thoughts.
In his opinion, the best result is to use this incident to force out Huan Guanlan or someone else behind Rong Suihe. Anyway, let Rong Suihe use up all his trump cards and lose completely. He can no longer threaten him. Rong Qing has decided, then take him back to Chang'an and treat him well under Princess Chenghuan's knees... After he ascends the throne in the future, he will be granted a prince title and let him be a free king and live a life of fine clothes and fine food. It will not be too sorry for his son.
At this moment, when Zhao Qiu told the news that Sheng Weiqiao was going north in person, his face turned ugly for a long time before he said: "This is simply nonsense!!! We only received the news that she was pregnant two days ago. The princess said at that time that she was not worried about her. For the birth and delivery in Western Xinjiang, I must take her back to Chang'an to take care of her personally! Now that I have finally left Yizhou City, I still want to go to Northern Xinjiang?! This is absolutely impossible!"
Then talking about Zhao Shi, "Brother, it's true that he wrote to her again and again for such a ridiculous request, and finally agreed to it?!"
Zhao Qiu explained to his brother: "Eldest brother can't help it, because according to Lu Shiyu's report, Mi Zhen's wife is very resolute. As you know, Mi Zhen's wife is very favored by her mother's family. Ever since we got married, Mi Zhen has been held in the palm of her hand. She has never been submissive." She said half a word 'no'. The eldest brother was thinking that she was still pregnant at the moment and wanted to meet her uncle one after another. What if she refused forcefully and the child was wronged, which would be bad for the fetus? No, brother is writing a letter pretending to agree to stabilize her, but at the same time he just asked me to inform you, have you come up with something?"
"She must not be allowed to go to Northern Xinjiang!" King Gaomi knew Sheng Weiqiao's purpose very well. He was thinking that the matter in Western Xinjiang was a God-given opportunity, and the sky was already on Rong Qingzuo's side. , how could Sheng Weiqiao be allowed to disrupt the situation
So he paced back and forth in the room several times. After stopping, he said, "It is not allowed for the princess to know about this matter for the time being, so it is difficult for us and my husband to come forward. In this way, you go and tell the Xu family and the Sheng family, let's They managed to bring the Sheng family back to Chang'an!"
I don’t believe it. Those two families looked down upon this squeamish princess and would let her go north to Xinjiang while pregnant? !
But Zhao Qiu said euphemistically: "My mother means that Mi Zhen's daughter-in-law has always been innocent and innocent, and she may not have such whims. I don't know if her doing this has anything to do with Nanfeng County? Because according to Nanfeng County, According to the news, Sheng Xinzhang, the father-in-law of Mi Zhen’s daughter-in-law, and her father-in-law, Mrs. Feng, Feng Li, have been very close to each other recently. Although their relationship has always been good, they have never had such frequent contact before. "
If this was Sheng Weiqiao's own idea, he could use the Sheng family and the Xu family to bring her back. What if this idea was actually given to her by the Sheng family
"... In this case, you go find Mrs. Sheng in private!" King Gaomi was silent for a moment and said, "Just tell him that his plan is going very smoothly. The only problem now is that Mi Zhen's wife somehow wants to Run to Northern Xinjiang... She is the princess of my clan, the Grand Mu Clan, with a distinguished status. It is impossible to hide her every move from outsiders! Going to Northern Xinjiang now, doesn't it remind Ruru to get a vote and leave! Let Sheng Sheng The old man managed to intercept her!"
Zhao Qiuwei said, "Isn't this not good? What if Mr. Sheng doesn't want to do it?"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cripple Ruru. The old man has been prepared to sacrifice his granddaughter before. How can he disagree now?" King Gaomi said coldly, "If he can't be cruel..."
He narrowed his eyes, "It is said that a secret wife is always filial?"
Zhao Qiu understood what he meant, that is, if Mrs. Sheng was unwilling to dissuade Sheng Weiqiao from going to Northern Xinjiang, or if he could not be dissuaded, something would happen to the elders Sheng Weiqiao valued, and she would not be able to go to Northern Xinjiang!
"This is the way to survive if you are determined to keep Mi Zhen!" Zhao Qiu's heart was filled with ice. "It's okay if Mi Zhen can't survive this time. If he can survive, how can he not turn against such a father?!"
Thinking of his nephew's experience of fighting his way out of the pirate den, he was really worried, and implicitly reminded King Gaomi: "Mi Zhen has always loved his wife, and she is so close to the bone. If anything happens to his wife's natal family, I'm afraid he will also Are you still worried?"
King Gaomi lowered his eyes and said calmly: "He is willing to let his wife go to Northern Xinjiang, so what does such a small thing mean?"
Because they suspected that Sheng Weiqiao planned to go to Northern Xinjiang in person, it was either Rong Suihe’s instigation or the Sheng family’s idea, and they had informed Rong Suihe, so the two of them never thought that it would be best to stop Sheng Weiqiao at this moment. The way to go north in person is to tell Rong Suihe.
Zhao Qiu is very reluctant to go to see Old Mrs. Sheng. He is actually the most upright and upright person in the Zhao family. However, as the youngest son, he has been influenced by the family-oriented teachings that he has been exposed to since childhood, and he often fails to do so. The law sticks to one's own conscience.
According to his personality, he respects people like Mr. Sheng the most.
If he was the one who made the decision for the Zhao family, let alone taking advantage of the opportunity to plot against Sheng Weiqiao, it would be too late to help the Sheng family.
However, no matter it was Mrs. Qin's order or King Gaomi's intention, he could not resist.
At this moment, I could only bite the bullet and use the pretext of telling Mrs. Sheng about the progress of the plan to invite people out to take advantage of him.
What Zhao Qiu never expected was that he arrived at the restaurant half an hour early to calm his mind, but when the time came, two old ladies came.
"I'm here uninvited, but I'd like to ask for help from the minister, Haihan!" Mr. Feng, a gentle and elegant man who looked more like Sheng Lanci's biological father than Mr. Sheng, walked up to greet him with a smile as soon as he saw him, regardless of Zhao Qiu's face. The emperor was stunned, and said with a smile, "The people have always admired Mr. Shilang the most. I heard that Mr. Shilang had made an appointment to meet his in-laws, so he shamelessly followed him. Sir, Mr. Caomin must remember that because of Cao Min's age, don't treat him as such. It’s up to the common people to drive them out!”
"The old man is serious!" Zhao Qiu was confused. He was not familiar with Mr. Feng and had never met him. If Feng Li had not reported his family name, he would not have known who the old man was.
Although Old Mrs. Feng's identity was completely different from his, because of Sheng Weiqiao's relationship, Zhao Qiu's temperament could not do anything to be arrogant to him. Even though he wanted to vomit blood at this moment, he still put on a smile and said, " I heard that the old man has returned to Nanfeng County, but unexpectedly we meet again in Chang'an today, it is really fate!"
Mr. Feng An Ran smiled and said: "It's like this: after the common people went back, they lived for a few days and were very bored. Thinking that the in-laws were still in Chang'an, they simply followed the family's cargo ship over and chatted with the in-laws."
Of course, this was said casually. In fact, he was entrusted by Sheng Lanci to come here specifically to keep an eye on Mr. Sheng.
It was a coincidence: Kankan arrived two days ago.
After arriving, of course Mr. Feng would not easily tell Mr. Sheng the true purpose of his visit. He only said that he had a quarrel with Mrs. Zhan and angrily planned to go out for a few days to relax, because his son and grandson were all around him, and his two daughters were all married close to each other. Feng After much thought, the old man decided to come to Chang'an to join his family.
Old Mrs. Sheng believed it and had been talking to Mr. Ming about it for the past two days. Yesterday, he even called Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou to come to the house and told him the principle of "young couples always stay together".
Today, Zhao Qiu posted a message asking Mr. Sheng to speak. Although Mr. Sheng knew that it must be confidential, Mr. Feng looked at the post and said that he also wanted to come over. Mr. Sheng thought that the in-laws were here to relax. If he didn't agree, , if you lose someone else’s face, wouldn’t it make you more and more upset
Don't let Mrs. Feng stop living in the Sheng Mansion and move out by himself... It's almost the Chinese New Year, how can this be so good!
Moreover, Mrs. Feng always gave people the impression that he was very measured and well-behaved. He thought that he would not talk nonsense about such important matters, so he led him along.
At this moment, he noticed the reluctance on Zhao Qiu's face, and Mrs. Sheng explained a little sarcastically: "My in-laws are like brothers, there is nothing we can't say."
Although Zhao Qiu didn't know Mr. Feng at all, Nanfeng County was a small place, and this old man was still the head of a powerful family. One of his two daughters took charge of the Xuan Yu family, and the other ate the head of the Sheng family to death. .
Who would believe that Mr. Feng has no vision or ability and relies solely on the blessings of his ancestors
Besides, Zhao Qiu himself felt that this trip was not a glorious move, so he and Mrs. Sheng were a little embarrassed to speak out. Now that there was Mrs. Feng by his side, Zhao Qiu felt ashamed every time he wanted to get down to business.
So he hesitated for a while, and even Mr. Sheng was concerned about the war and asked questions, but he gave vague answers. As for persuading Mr. Sheng to stop Sheng Weiqiao, he didn't mention it at all!
In this way, the three of them dispersed after the meal without knowing what to eat. On the way back to Sheng Mansion, Mr. Feng said to Mr. Sheng very "apologisingly": "My dear, it seems that I delayed your business! I saw it." Come out, Minister Zhao asked you to talk about something important, but because I was around, he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only say a few words that were not important."
Old Mrs. Sheng felt the same way, but he still said: "What nonsense! I have already said that you and I have nothing to show, let him just talk... I guess he just wanted to have a meal with me."
Old Mrs. Feng said: "I heard him mention Xijiang to you. Is there anything going on in Xijiang?"
"We were just chatting casually." Mr. Sheng suddenly became alert and tried to pretend as if nothing had happened. "Maybe he thought Mi Zhen and Qiao Er were both in Western Xinjiang, so he mentioned it, right?"
Mr. Feng took a deep look at him and said, "Really? Well, it's no wonder. After all, he is Mi Zhen's biological uncle."
Old Mrs. Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed: "That's right, that's right... By the way, in-laws, look over there, it's the shop I told you about yesterday. The braised meat they sell has a different flavor than what our chef makes. Let's go and try it. taste?"
Mr. Feng allowed him to change the topic and handled the whole process without leakage. However, after returning to the Sheng Mansion that night, he took an opportunity to go to the guest house where he lived alone, and summoned his confidants: "This old man of the Sheng family is simply crazy. ! I don’t have that much time to convince him. In this case, you go and contact Shu Ting. The benefits that my Feng family has gained over the years cannot be given away in vain. Please ask him to help arrange and contact the two empresses Shu in the palace!"
