Sheng Weiqiao followed Xuan Yu Feng to the back room without knowing why. He stepped back and looked at the doors and windows closed, then asked, "Aunt, what's going on? It's so secretive?"
Xuanyu Feng said with a serious face: "Qiaoer, the idea I just came up with is good. Nothing can be prepared for accidents in Bu Nao. If, he said, what if, if my father-in-law really had a bad idea at that time, the Gaomi King's faction The army was defeated like a mountain, and Mi Zhen faced the Meng family directly. What should I do?"
"It's not very good!" Sheng Weiqiao was stunned when he heard this and said, "His father-in-law has always been good. Since he wants to put pressure on Mi Zhen by letting the concubine become critically ill, how can he not worry about his own safety? What's more, he just let the concubine get critically ill. Ah Xi went to scare Concubine Mo, but she didn’t let Ah Xi miss her father-in-law!"
Xuanyu Feng stared at her: "Qiaoer, even I thought of sending someone to sneak into the palace to scare Concubine Mo. I think, what will Mi Zhen do at that time? He has grown up and is used to it. It’s bloody, and there’s not much emotion among those messy blood relatives! To be honest, he would definitely not admit that Gongsun Lao Haizhu’s death had anything to do with Mi Zhen on the outside, but in reality, he felt that if Mi Zhen had done it , it’s not impossible!”
Sheng Weiqiao frowned: "Is aunt worried that Mi Zhen will kill his father? He doesn't know the truth about Gongsun Haizhu's death, but he feels that even if Mi Zhen doesn't like his adoptive father in his heart, for Gongsun Haizhu's sake, , and he may not be able to kill his legs like Huidong. What’s more, he was seriously injured in that battle, and it took him a long time to recover afterwards. Even if the trick is too much, isn’t it? At that time, Tortoiseshell Island had discussed it. Please approve it. His father, get him a Qinghong who was born on the shore. No matter whether it was Tortoiseshell Island or Mi Zhen, at that time, who would have thought that his father would get him a brother to go back to? So he had no reason to perform a show of gratitude. Can his father watch it?"
"Even if Old Master Gongsun is not responsible for Mi Zhen's harm, since King Gaomi has released such rumors, what does that mean?" Xuanyu Feng took a breath and said attentively, "Then it means that, in the eyes of King Gaomi, , will Mi Zhen commit an act of patricide. That time he took out the concubine. If that plan fails, I wonder if he will be so crazy that he goes into battle himself? "
Sheng Weiqiao said in astonishment: "He is in the formation personally... How can he be in the formation in person? Is he planning to be critically ill himself? However, the prince cannot support his inheritance, so he is critically ill. He looks at the person with the bottom of his leg. Except for those from the Qi family and the Huang family who are closely related to the prince, most of them would like to switch to Mi Zhen, right? After all, the Meng family has never fallen!"
He added, "Or is it a ploy to tell Mi Zhen in person that Mi Zhen did it? He thought he didn't have the guts. After all, he just criticized Mi Zhen for killing his father, and Mi Zhen said that the prince had framed his younger brother. After learning such a lesson, He always wants to think about the prince before doing anything."
Xuanyu Feng shook his head and said: "Although I don't know what kind of relationship my father-in-law has with Mi Zhen, I think he is probably old and confused! Otherwise, how could he be so stupid when Meng was still alive? To put it bluntly, the prince's reputation is not bad. He and the prince's wife, brother and sister-in-law, are very close to each other and can be regarded as eldest brothers and sisters-in-law. If they are not close to each other in the future, they will lose their power and return. If you lose power, you may not necessarily die.”
"But if the Meng family is in charge, how can we let go of the Rong family?"
"This shows how determined my father-in-law is to eradicate Mi Zhen!"
"It's easy for the Meng family to take advantage of the situation... Once he can't see things, and the prince is useless, Mi Zhen Ruming will be unable to compete with the Meng family."
She paused at this point, "If it really comes to that, what would I do?"
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned for a while and said: "First of all, he thinks that is not feasible. Secondly, if we really fall into that situation, even if Mi Zhen cannot compete with the Meng family for the time being, there is no hope of defending the Western Border. Let's plan for it slowly." Bar?"
He added, "The person behind him, everyone says it's not simple. Even... he may not have any hindrances for Dong Lai?"
"Is he worried that Mi Zhen will do what Meng wanted to do but failed to do before?" Xuan Yu Feng sighed after hearing this and said, "Is that child from a bandit den? Although he is talented in reading, , I got the No. 1 prize all the way, but deep down, I still feel a little lawless."
Sheng Weiqiao was startled by Dongcai Minghong's intention, and became a little dismayed: "Auntie is worried that Mi Zhen will lead Ruru into trouble and disturb the water in the pond to give herself a chance to breathe? How can that be done!"
"Why not?" Xuanyu Fengshi sneered, "I thought he mistakenly persuaded Fuzhen to surrender and then released him. What was his purpose? Then he was leaving a way out for himself! He asked for the development of Damu. Go with the flow, then keep Na Fuzhen for him to consolidate his position and establish prestige after Jian Zuo; I wonder if there is someone in Damu who wants to ruin his future and destroy his foundation. I believe it or not, he will recruit Na Fuzhen to come to Chang'an in a minute. Chengdong, so that his enemies can’t spare their legs to wrongly punish him?!”
Rong Suihe did not specifically explain to Sheng Weiqiao about Na Fu Zhen, but whether Master Wu and the others were involved in the whole process. During those confinement years, Xuan Yu Feng and Master Wu talked about everything, and they had already set up a trap. Clear as day.
"..." Sheng Weiqiao pinched his eyebrows tiredly and said, "So what exactly does aunt want him to do? To persuade Mi Zhen not to do that?"
Xuanyu Feng was speechless for a while after hearing this, and then said: "He asked me to be mentally prepared. Judging from Mi Zhen's wrong treatment of the prince, that child... he wronged his blood relatives, is it really possible?" So neat. So it won't be surprising for him to do anything in the future. I... I should think more about it."
"It's good that he is angry with the prince, but he feels that in the final analysis, it is not his father-in-law's fault." Sheng Weiqiao said displeased, "Aunt, are you thinking too much?"
She didn't want to continue the topic, so she changed the topic and said, "He thought of some names for the child in the past two months. Can my aunt ask for help to go through the details?"
Just as he was talking, someone came outside to report that Zhao Shi was here.
Xuanyu Feng said: "Let me go see him. He probably made a mistake in discussing the plan with him. But after all, he is my father-in-law's brother-in-law. His status and seniority don't matter. I'm sorry to do anything outside the plan." , 80% chance to find Mrs. Qin or something to persuade my father-in-law... Can you just do your best and obey fate?"
In fact, it was similar to what she said. Zhao Shi looked at Sheng Weiqiao with a bad look on his face and said, "The concubine is critically ill. Ru Ming has not yet learned whether the news is true or not. He has ordered people to go to Chang'an quickly to inquire about the news. I will Don’t worry, Ruru is ready to retreat, and Western Xinjiang is devastated. At that time, Mi Zhen cannot do without her comfort, even if... they will ask for love for Mi Zhen!"
When Sheng Weiqiao heard that she was wrong, he was somewhat sincerely grateful. She thought that Zhao Shihuo came to her to discuss the wrong plan, but judging from his tone, he was afraid that she would overthink it and came specifically to comfort Kaijie.
Bu Nao was grateful, but Sheng Weiqiao would not tell him what he was doing, because from Zhao Shi's point of view, even if he wanted to agree, he might not be able to lose face. So I talked to him, but I didn't want to embarrass him.
He prevaricated a few words and said: "He is not worried, so he asked Ah Xi to go back and inquire about Dong. By the way, he also took a look at some of Mi Zhen's properties in Chang'an. Someone from Didong had already reported that something was wrong. , a few months passed by at that time, and I don’t know what it is like now.”
Zhao Shi didn't know whether Meng Jiaqian's assassination was Gongsun Xi's fault. Hearing this, he wanted to go somewhere else, so he asked: "When will he leave? He has something to bring home. Can he help if it's convenient for him?" Go alone?"
As the second-ranking figure in the Northern Xinjiang Army, he had a lot to call upon. The so-called asking for help was more about giving Gongsun Xi an opportunity to visit the Zhao Mansion openly and let Mrs. Qin and others see him.
Sheng Weiqiao said awkwardly: "Ah Xi is worried about Mi Zhen, but he has already left."
"Loyal people are like this." Zhao Shi nodded understandingly, "Well, he will go back and write a letter. If the trouble with Mi Zhen's property in Chang'an has not been resolved, tell him to take care of it at the Zhao Mansion."
Sheng Wei Qiaolian went to thank him, but when he came back, he had to ask Yishan to send a letter to Gongsun Xi, asking him to visit Dong in Zhao's mansion if he was of any use to show Zhao Shi's respect.
... Due to Concubine Mo's critical illness, Rong Suihe from Western Xinjiang, Zhao Shi and Sheng Weiqiao from Northern Xinjiang, as well as Gaomi Prince's Mansion and Zhao Mansion from Chang'an and other related people were all going around. In the midst of the chaos, there was no trace of chaos in the first place. The Guangling Prince's Mansion, which attracted everyone's attention, became increasingly quiet.
The eldest maid held a half-moon comb carved with mutton-fat jade flowers, birds, and peach branches. She combed Zhao Taoshang's almost floor-length hair with light legs and feet. She whispered in her mouth: "You have just received the message you sent to the old lady." Reply, the old lady had the same thoughts as when they met last time, except that Marquis Chongxin was worried that Concubine Meng would become the abandoned son of the Meng family, so he left in a hurry and wanted to struggle... The old lady didn't think highly of him, so she said no and ignored him. . "
Zhao Taoshang was silent for a while. After a while, when she saw that her bun was almost done, she took a gold silk dotted jade-embedded ruby a large golden hairpin with dragons and phoenixes in auspiciousness from the makeup box in front of her and handed it to the back, saying lightly : "Mother Zhu has been visiting her aunt, but she usually doesn't pay much attention to them. If it turns out that Concubine Mo is critically ill, her uncle is very close, and her cousin is not involved. Grandma is worried that they won't be able to make it in time, so she is even more distracted. She was at her wits end and her eyes were trying to disturb her. No wonder she didn't have the time to pay attention to it. "
"Actually, I think what Marquis Chongxin said is correct." The maid hesitated for a while, and finally said it relying on Zhao Taoshang's usual confidence, "Generally, the daughter of the Zhao family, the daughter of the eldest son, is not a biological child. My father is General Huaihua, my nephew and my grandson, no matter what, I want my grandson to be closer!"
Zhao Taoshang sighed: "But who can call the crown prince capable? He knows very well about his father's character, and he doesn't have to suppress his daughter to get ahead. How can the crown prince's ability be compared with his cousin Mi Zhen? Although I have never seen that cousin, I have heard about the things he has done, especially the time when my uncle broke up with him and told his real experience of living outside, which makes people feel that he is unfathomable. Got it!"
She shook her head, "The prince will not deny him the wrong leg. With such a beautiful woman in front of him, how can dad choose the prince?"
"Is it true that the Crown Prince of Gaomi cannot be helped up?" The eldest maid hummed, "Isn't it true that our Crown Prince... wasn't our Crown Prince very smart before? We are worried about the misunderstanding from the King of Gaomi, so Hefu keeps a low profile in the east. If you are used to it, Your Majesty, you are just not doing your homework!"
Zhao Taoshang said: "Even so, it's too late for me to let him go to Dong Kung Fu now? Cousin Mi Zhen has already matured. The prince wants to catch up at that time. Is he there to catch up?"
She pondered for a while, "Forget it, in that case, I will go back and pick a reliable man from his dowry who can travel long distances and send him a letter!"
The eldest maid went and asked, "Would you like to give it to General Huaihua?"
"No!" Zhao Taoshang shook his head, "No to cousin Mi Zhen!"
The eldest maid asked in surprise: "Did you say...?"
"Marquis Chongxin must have bad intentions, because our palace has always lived in seclusion and is not well-informed about the outside world." Zhao Taoshang said expressionlessly, "He originally wanted to ask his mother's family for help, but at that time, regardless of whether grandma or not, Aunt, it's too late for Prince Gu Gaomi's palace, so how can he have time to take care of them? Just let Bu Cang do it without asking, and he's afraid of falling into a trap without knowing it... After thinking about it, it's not true. Try Cousin Mi Zhen, if Meng Guiyu has any grudges with that person, just tear it up yourself and stop provoking them who want to live a peaceful confinement!"
At this moment, the Shu sisters are struggling: "Is Concubine Mo really critically ill? If she dies, Mi Zhen must come back for the funeral... If she doesn't come back for the funeral, it's hard to say what the future will be like! If she doesn't come back, Yu What use are we?"
