In the deserted courtyard, the two siblings stood quietly.
By that time, the north wind had begun to blow, and it was bitingly cold.
Lord Jian'an and Rong Lingzhan both wore jackets and thick cloaks. They felt warm even when there was no snow.
Just listening to the suppressed yet extremely sad cries coming from the closed window made my heart feel chilly.
The Lord of Jian'an County previously pulled his brother's sleeve and motioned for him to follow him and leave.
The bad news about that time was reported to Qi personally by Bu Rong Qingzhu, and he ordered the place to be cleared before entering.
So the siblings were worried when they heard that their father looked good, so they came over to listen to his advice.
When I went out, I saw that all the people outside were avoiding me, and it looked very desolate.
The two of them were walking slowly along the deserted flower path. Lord Jian'an was feeling heavy and nervous. He could see the faces of his maternal family members, and his uncle Rong Suihe's smile that did not reach his eyes. .
Have you thought about the death of Concubine Mo before, and how your grandmother, Princess Gaomi, took the initiative to protect Gongsun Xi and Empress Meng from leaving the palace? Unexpectedly, she felt resentment in her heart: "At that time, my grandmother knew that that person was the third uncle's confidant, so what happened?" My son's appearance in the palace is probably related to the death of my great-grandmother! My grandmother kept such a big thing secret without saying a word, and even he and his two sisters kept it secret!"
"Third uncle already gave up on the Qi family when we withdrew from Chang'an. Why can't even my grandfather show mercy?!"
"Did that mean to force mother to death?!"
She was in a daze when she suddenly heard sobbing.
Looking down, Rong Lingzhan's eyes were red and he raised his sleeves to wipe away tears. It could be seen that he actually didn't want to be discovered by his sister. If he tried hard to hold back his tears, his emotions were coming and he couldn't stop them.
The Lord of Jian'an County felt sad when he saw his younger brother suppressing his grief. He squatted down to the east and took a handkerchief to wipe his eyes. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know what to say.
Although Qi Jianxun had a lot of dissatisfaction with Rong Qingzuo, and often scolded him privately like his father-in-law, there was no telling whether he had wronged Rong Qingzuo's family.
Although that kind of goodness has a lot to do with whether Rong Qingzui will be the future master, but the blood is related to the east, and the intention is naturally diluted. If he comes from the east, he is not good.
Especially if you don't have a good look.
After the Qi family passed away, they gave birth to three daughters in succession. Because of Princess Gaomi, the King of Gaomi planned to give Rong Qing some concubines himself.
In this situation, the birth of Dong Rong Lingzhan not only made the Qi family feel relieved, but the entire Qi family also felt relieved.
When Qi saw Xun, his grandson was as ruthless as a treasure.
Even the Lord of Jian'an County couldn't let go of his grandfather's death, let alone Rong Lingzhan
"Sister, in the future, he will definitely kill Mi Zhen and avenge his grandfather!!!" The siblings were silent. When Jian'an County Lord was about to wipe his brother's face, he sniffed and suddenly gritted his teeth and swore. , "He begged to kill him, and he would have his heir..."
Before he finished speaking, the panicked Lord Jian'an covered his mouth and yelled in a trembling voice: "I don't want to beg for my life anymore?!"
I feel more and more sad, because after all, my brother is young and ignorant.
At that time, their whole family was under the protection of Rong Suihe. If Rong Suihe knew that his nephew was wrong and both his father and his son had murderous intentions... would he let his nephew grow up
Just as he was begging to explain the reason to his brother, and telling him not to speak so openly after the month, a cough suddenly came from behind him.
The Jian'an County Lord was so shocked that he suddenly turned around, his face turned red: I don't know when Ningwei Hou Xu Zijing was walking slowly with two personal guards!
"Your Majesty, your prince and grandson are young, so you should take care of them." When Xu Zijing coughed, he was already a few steps away from his siblings. He walked over slowly. Although his legs were defenseless, every step seemed to be stepping on someone. With Lord Jian'an in his heart, Lord Jian'an's heart beat like thunder when he came closer. Dong consciously hugged Rong Lingzhan into his arms and closed his eyes, not daring to watch Xu Zijing's movements to receive Dong.
But when Xu Zijing passed by them, he didn't even stop. After passing by, he said lightly, "Those little things that the prince won't pay attention to, but the people of Didong don't...you all should be cautious!"
Jian'an County Lord did not dare to say anything. He waited until Xu Zijing was completely gone before he cautiously let go of his brother. The siblings looked at him wrongly, their eyes filled with shock.
After a while, Jian'an County Lord touched Rong Lingzhan's head and whispered: "It seems that the Marquis does not intend to pursue it... Lingzhan, I will remember not to say what I just said again."
Rong Lingzhan's eyes were red and he nodded heavily, but his legs suddenly clenched!
... But Xu Zijing and the other three who had already walked away were talking about the wrong siblings: "The Marquis is kind-hearted, so why don't you mention something and not criticize me, for fear that they will not understand the good intentions of the Marquis and still keep the wrong prince?" Evil thoughts.”
"The king and grandson are young and have always been favored by Qi Jianxun. When Ru Ming learned of his death, he doubted the prince and became angry for a moment. It is not human nature." Xu Zijing shook his head and said, "I am wrong for his good direct maternal grandfather. No, if there is no touch, then it will make people feel cold. Although Qi Jianxun does not know life and death, and often brings trouble to the prince, his female godson is notoriously safe. Even if I didn't pass by him just now, it seems that The Lord of Jian'an County obviously didn't intend to scold the princes and grandchildren. Looking at how scared they were at that time, if I had just spoken a few words, I might have caused some trouble... But why bother?"
The guard said: "But when you look at the prince's grandson in the east, does it mean that he resents the prince more and more?"
"What can a child do?" Xu Zijing was reluctant to embarrass Rong Qingzui's family. To be honest, although he had a very good impression of Gaomi Wang and his wife, he really had no ill feelings towards Rong Qingzui's family.
After all, Rong Qingzui was a kind-hearted person, and the Qi family was a typical lady and virtuous wife. She had seven children, excluding her infant daughter, who were all raised to be sensible, and none of them were overbearing or unreasonable.
How can people like that situation
Even if the positions are different.
Xu Zijing felt that even if he refused to tolerate Suihe, he actually didn't want to embarrass that family.
Otherwise, why bother sending people to hunt down Qi Jianxun
If it is not possible, then let the soul of the father-in-law who hopes that his son-in-law will become a dragon return to the underworld, so that he will not cause trouble and rain again, dragging the family to drink water
At this moment, Rong Lingzhan's mere words were wrong, so he didn't care much about it, and said, "It's just an angry word. The prince and his wife don't understand the celebrity, they will teach him a lesson later!"
Maybe Xu Zijing didn’t know it, but even though Rong Lingzhan showed his hatred, he was severely scolded by Rong Qingzu and his wife when he turned around, and told him not to do such stupid things that put the whole family in danger again, from beginning to end. The unprepared Lord Jian'an looked on, but silently made up his mind.
That evening, the Lord of Jian'an County told Mrs. Qi that he planned to go home for a visit.
Was her daughter, who had left the court a long time ago, following the Qi family at that time? Or was the Qi family worried that it was a time of war and chaos, so she stayed with her specifically.
Ru Ming and his party temporarily settled there. There were Tao Xing Dong guards all over the small town. The Huang family lived not far away. Her daughter wanted to go back and have a look. The Qi family treated them as a young couple separated for a long time. Missing her, Zi Fu immediately agreed and asked the kitchen to pick up some delicious dishes that would be served to the royal family at that time, and bring them back to her daughter to honor her father-in-law.
Little did they know that after the Lord of Jian'an County returned, he met Huang Wujiu, exchanged some farewells, then retreated, and told Huang Wujiu that Gongsun Xi was very fond of Empress Meng!
Huang Wu Jiu was shocked when he heard this and said, "When did that happen?! Why have you never heard of me?!"
"He didn't intend to say what Xun's mother said. "Jian'an County Lord's face was cold and he said calmly, "But that time my grandfather... my third uncle went too far! ! ! "
She looked at her husband, "He remembers... that Queen Meng, was she reunited with the Queen Mother in Linyuan before, and was she sent there from the palace by the Zhenghou family? Was it the third uncle's that Shengxi had gotten early in the morning? How could a person suddenly become Zhenghou Mendong? He couldn't help but use his affair with Queen Meng to sneak into Meng Guiyu's command under the banner of Zhenghou Hou's confidants!"
Huang Wu Jiu concentrated for a moment, sighed, and said, "I really don't care about such a big thing... If I had explained it earlier, maybe it could have been changed."
"Why is it so easy to change?" Jian'an County Lord actually felt a little regretful at that time, but he refused to admit it and said, "Don't forget what happened to Grandfather Wang? Who would have expected that my uncle would... Then there is no way to prevent it. !”
When it came to Yuan Liuguang's fatal blow, Huang Wujiu was speechless. He was silent for a while and said, "Now that I tell him about it, do I plan to take revenge?"
The Lord of Jian'an County nodded slowly: "He knows that they have little strength now and can't do anything to help Third Uncle! But if you tell Meng Guiyu about it, you can break Third Uncle's arm at least, but they will miss my grandfather's filial piety!"
"..." Huang Wujiu looked at her with deep eyes. After a long while, he did not answer her directly, but said, "If our every move is under the surveillance of secret eyes and ears, it will not be so easy to do it. , We can't do it on our own, we have to discuss it with dad... I won't wait for him tomorrow night, he will go to dad's study later!"
In the morning, Huang Wujiu went to Huang Xianyun and told him the news brought by Lord Jian'an. After hearing this, Huang Xianyun thought for a moment and asked, "What do I think?"
"We have placed a lot of treasure on the crown prince, and he soon married the prince." Huang Wujiu pondered for a moment, then said, "Prince Mi Zhen stayed in the capital for a short time, and he did not think that we, father and son, would treat us differently. What it means... The child thought, if you please, the county king will be concerned about our in-law relationship with the prince; if you please, the prince really doesn't think much of us in his heart."
"After all, the county prince himself did not get the first prize in the exam. He has nothing to do with it. He also got the second prize."
"And once the county king succeeds, how many talents will be available every three years? It's not like we have to be hired."
"Then if you think about it, what good will it do if the county prince achieves great things at the expense of our Huang family?"
"But Pinghong reminds Meng Guiyu that there is no benefit in wronging us." Huang Xianyun said, "Prince Mi Zhen, at least so far, has no intention of wronging our Dongdu Legs. But Meng Guiyu is afraid of wronging us. Are you trying to help someone and then kill them quickly?"
Huang Wu Jiu's eyes flashed and he said: "Dad, why do we need to remind Meng Guiyu directly? He is beating around the bush and makes him think that the Prince of Mi Zhen County is very interested. If there is a traitor under Mi Zhen's legs, wouldn't it be more interesting?"
"Did I say...?" Huang Xianyun was startled when he heard the words, and said while stroking his beard, "Making Mi Zhen's legs and friends jealous of each other?"
Huang Wujiu said: "Is that true? Because Na Fuzhen attacked the Western Territory, Mi Zhen had left and went to take charge of the overall situation in person! According to the scale of that war, he didn't even have time to care about other places for a while! Please stir up the water, maybe there will be a chance for a comeback?"
"Even if we can't succeed, the worst we can do is get away and find a few scapegoats so that we won't suffer any loss!"
