"Sister, what else can you say?!"
Zhennan Wang's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
"I..." Mrs. Qiao faltered, with an uncertain expression on her face.
Seeing this, King Zhennan didn't know what was going on, his face sank like water, and his forehead was throbbing with veins.
Eldest sister again!
The elder sister dared to poison the eldest grandson of the palace, his direct grandson, this is simply turning her elbows outward, helping outsiders to harm her own people!
With the elder sister's temperament of being useless and not early, what good does it do her? !
In other words, what benefits can the third princess give her? !
Zhennan Wang narrowed his eyes and looked at Mrs. Qiao, his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
Knowing a brother is like a sister, Mrs. Qiao's heart skipped a beat, she was anxious.
Last time, my younger brother dismissed the Qiao family's military post when he got angry. This time, if I can't appease my younger brother, the consequences will be disastrous...
Mrs. Qiao swallowed her saliva, and hurriedly explained: "Brother, it was the concubine Shizi who was rude to me first, and I just couldn't get angry. Those are just laxatives, and they are for the wet nurse. They are harmless at all. !"
Mrs. Qiao didn't take this matter too seriously in her heart. She didn't give Nangong Yue medicine, didn't she just give the wet nurse some laxative? What's the big deal!
After a pause, Mrs. Qiao added another sentence: "Brother, you know me, I have always been a knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted."
If it was in the past, King Zhennan might have been appeased by Mrs. Qiao and Xi Ni, but now he only feels that this sentence is full of ridicule: She has drugged his precious grandson, and dare to say that she is "Tofu heart"? According to him, it is the heart of the most poisonous woman!
Nangong Yue has been observing every change in Zhennan Wang's expression, a barely visible arc curled up on her lips. She put down the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand, and asked directly while the iron was hot: "Father, do you still remember the spring hunting last year?"
She just clicked to the end, but Mrs. Qiao was at a loss when she heard it. She didn't understand why the concubine mentioned Autumn Hunting out of nowhere. For others, a lot of things happened in Spring Hunting last year, but for King Zhennan, there was only one thing—
Aunt May!
Zhennan Wang's pupils shrank sharply, and his right hand on the desk was clenched into a fist.
Thinking about it this way, this is not the first time that the elder sister has done harm to the palace.
First there was Aunt Mei, then there was the matter of the An family, and now the eldest sister has a relationship with the third princess...
All these piles, one by one, saw the eldest sister jumping up and down in it, he kept convincing himself that she was just greedy for profit and unintentional, but is it really so
The previous two incidents almost caused Zhennan Prince's House to be ransacked and exterminated, and made him even shorter in front of Xiao Yi, a rebellious son. But this time, what kind of disaster will the elder sister bring to the Prince's House? ? !
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and even the eyes he looked at Mrs. Qiao became strange and complicated, like surprise, speculation, and inquiry...
The seeds of suspicion have already been planted, and how they will germinate next is out of my control... Nangong Yue smiled slightly, picked up the teacup again, and stopped talking. This time, what Mrs. Qiao did really angered her!
Xiao Yi at the side looked fascinated at the little fox-like smile of his concubine, his heart was itching, and he really wanted to fly over...
Unfortunately, life is unsatisfactory out of ten.
Just have to finish the play!
A sharp light flashed in Xiao Yi's peach blossom eyes, and he said casually: "Father, now even Marquis Pingyang says that the imperial decree is false, but the eldest aunt keeps slandering her son for imprisoning imperial servants, fabricating crimes and so on, I don't know What is the eldest aunt thinking?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Qiao, and continued mockingly: "Maybe the third princess is eloquent and generous, so what kind of benefits can I promise my aunt?"
"Brother, don't listen to A Yi's nonsense, I didn't!" Mrs. Qiao stomped her feet angrily, strode towards Zhennan Wang's desk, and said hysterically, "It's clear that he made a mistake himself, and now he wants to trouble Shuidong lead!"
Mrs. Qiao now thinks that Xiao Yi is really crazy, and now he is still turning black and white. She didn't know how Xiao Yi coerced Pingyang Hou to cooperate with him, but the truth can't be fake, and the fake can't be true.
Zhennan Wang half-closed his eyes and pondered, and didn't speak for a while.
Of course he knew that half of what this rebellious son said could not be believed. How could the imperial decree sent by Chen Rentai be false? !
However, things have come to this point, it's hard to get over it!
Now, even if he released Chen Rentai and said that everything was just a misunderstanding, would Chen Rentai believe it? Will the emperor believe it
He didn't believe it himself, let alone others!
I can only bite the bullet and move forward...
Take a step back and think, since this rebellious son can "fix" even the Marquis of Pingyang, maybe the "false transmission of the imperial edict" can also be blurred...
A spark of hope flashed in King Zhennan's eyes, and Mrs. Qiao became more nervous when she saw that he had been silent, and shouted again: "Brother, you should take care of A Yi, those people under A Yi are not even imperial envoys. If it is caught, paper cannot cover fire, if it spreads, it will be a serious crime of treason!" The more Mrs. Qiao thought about it, the more frightened she became, once Xiao Yi's actions angered Long Yan, the entire Zhennan Palace would be implicated .
King Zhennan frowned, and glanced at Mrs. Qiao displeasedly, his eyes became more thoughtful.
The eldest sister keeps saying that she is for the Wangfu, but she casually puts the crime of "rebellion" on the Wangfu's head. Is this going to help the Wangfu or harm the Wangfu!
There is also the third princess, she even wants to kill his precious grandson, so it can be seen that the blame for Kui Lang's tragic death has been blamed on the Zhennan Palace, so if she fails to murder the grandson, how will she deal with the Palace next? !
Could it be that the eldest sister came to find me today because the third princess was going to push the boat along the way, trying to persuade herself to let Chen Rentai go, and then the emperor could punish the Zhennan Palace with the "crime of treason"? !
It is useless for the Zhennan Palace to conspire against the eldest sister. Obviously, she has been used again!
As the saying goes, there are only three things, but the elder sister has become a weapon in the hands of others to deal with the palace time and time again...
The king of Zhennan didn't know whether to be angry at him for not striving for good, or to hate him for being useless.
In the final analysis, it was Mrs. Qiao who had resentment towards his younger brother and wanted to take revenge on the palace, so she gave others an opportunity. The third princess just wanted to benefit a little, so she hit it off with the third princess and conspired against the palace.
Foolish woman, what a foolish woman!
Before, she had been used by Baiyue twice; today, she was easily swayed by the third princess; in the future, perhaps the emperor would only need a few words to make her sell the palace, but she still felt that what she did was wrong. For the sake of the palace, for the good of his younger brother...
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more frightened he became, his mind drifted away, and even Mrs. Qiao's yelling and sayings could not reach his ears...
Nangong Yue is also a ghost, since Brother Yu was born, she has been inseparable from him almost every step of the way, that is, she was carried away for a while at the double full moon banquet, just now she also went out while Brother Yu was asleep, and also I don't know if Brother Yu is still asleep now, or if he woke up and was crying and looking for her...
She absently put down the teacup.
Seeing that Nangong Yue's teacup was empty, Xiao Yi immediately got up courteously to get the teapot, served tea and water to his concubine personally, and "personally" tested the temperature of the tea, and then gave the teacup to her with a smile. In the hands of Nangong Yue.
Naturally, Nangong Yue saw that he had already stained the teacup, so she glanced at him amusedly, picked up the teacup as he wished, and at the same time looked at King Zhennan and Mrs. Qiao.
This time, the father should be able to make up his mind.
Mrs. Qiao was walking back and forth in front of King Zhennan's desk, muttering: "...brother, I'm doing it for your own good! We came out of a mother's womb and are a family. When will I Didn't you think about it?!... Brother, you are talking!"
Brother, I am doing it for your own good!
This sentence pierced Zhennan Wang's heart like a sharp arrow, and he suddenly came back to his senses, with thick haze appearing in his eyes.
The eldest sister is so indiscriminate and stubborn, but he always thinks about the relationship between his sister and brother, and doesn't want to do things to the extreme... Hey, it's also his own fault.
If she continues to pamper the elder sister, I'm afraid she will bring catastrophe to the palace sooner or later!
This time, he couldn't be more merciful!
Thinking about it, King Zhennan's eyes became decisive. He raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Qiao, and then raised his hand to signal her to silence: "Sister, you don't need to say any more, this king has already made a decision."
Mrs. Qiao breathed a sigh of relief in surprise, and said, "Brother, I knew you would listen to me..."
Whoever thought about it heard Zhennan King continue to say: "Three days later, no, tomorrow, you and your eldest brother-in-law's family will return to Li County immediately, and the king will send troops to accompany you. Half a step out of the house."
What? ! Mrs. Qiao was dumbfounded, almost wondering if she was dreaming. Obviously it was his nephew Xiao Yi who made a big mistake and was about to bring disaster to the palace, but the King of Zhennan wanted to drive away the Qiao family? ! And put them under house arrest in Qiao's Mansion in Li County!
What kind of bewitched brother is this? !
"I'm not going back!" Mrs. Qiao said angrily, her eyes were bloodshot with anger, as if she was about to stare, "Brother, have you been fascinated by something..."
"Enough!" Zhennan Wang rubbed his temples with a headache, and said in a strong tone, "Elder Sister, either go back to Li County, or let me go to Zhangnan!"
"Zhang... Zhangnan?" Mrs. Qiao repeated stammeringly.
Zhangnan is a barren land located on the southwestern border of southern Xinjiang. It is a place where prisoners are exiled. If King Zhennan sends their Qiao family there, won't they send them to Qiao's family
How could she be used to living in wild places like Zhangnan that are so harsh...
Mrs. Qiao's face was pale, her mouth opened and closed, and suddenly, her shoulders seemed to collapse.
In fact, she had no choice at all!
King Zhennan also felt exhausted physically and mentally, so he quickly summoned his entourage. After issuing a series of orders, Mrs. Qiao was taken away, and the room fell silent again, leaving only King Zhennan, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue three people.
After the play was over, the curtain fell, Xiao Yi didn't intend to stay for long, stood up with Nangong Yue, and said, "Father, if there is nothing else, my son and daughter-in-law will leave first..."
King Zhennan responded vaguely, and waved his hand absently, but when the sound of raising the curtain sounded, he suddenly remembered another matter, and blurted out: "Ni... Ah Yi, what about Mr. Chen? "
Xiao Yi picked up the bead chain and asked Nangong Yue to go out first, while he turned his head to look at King Zhennan, and said casually: "Father, you don't have to worry about this matter. If you are idle and bored, you can pay a few more." Just a concubine." A little more people would take away his father's heart, and it would save him such a free time, always going to Bixiaotang to see his own brat.
"Niezi!" King Zhennan blushed with anger and cursed.
Which family's son would say that to his father? ! What an evil, what an evil!
Xiao Yi ignored King Zhennan at all, and left without hesitation, taking his roars as wind in his ears.
Xiao Yi left gracefully, leaving Zhennan Wang still upset.
First of all, Chen Rentai's affairs must be settled. Could it be that the rebellious son can imprison him for the rest of his life
Secondly, although the eldest sister is under his control, it is hard to guarantee that the third princess will join hands with others to attack the palace...
And the Qiao family, the Qiao family also needs to give an explanation.
If it wasn't for the elder sister's mischief, the eldest brother-in-law Qiao Xingyao was still a good lieutenant general, but now he is detained in the house in Li County, which is really a disaster for Xiao Qiang. Not afraid of anything else, he was afraid that Qiao Xingyao would divorce his wife at this time and shame the palace...
Zhennan Wang squinted his eyes, and suddenly took a picture of the book case with a flash of inspiration.
By the way, just give the eldest brother-in-law another flat wife!
He remembered that the eldest brother-in-law used to have a confidante who knew the general situation, she was a flower of Jieyu, and she seemed to be carried into the mansion to become an aunt.
In this way, it is better to push the boat along with the current, and it should be able to relieve the depression in the elder brother-in-law's heart a little.
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, so he hurriedly called Concubine Wei over...
…
When the Bailai soldiers escorted Mrs. Qiao back to Qiao's mansion, the Qiao family knew that something was wrong, and the family hurriedly gathered in the main hall. They thought that the nightmare of closing the mansion last time would repeat itself, but they didn't expect this time What's more serious, the whole family was forced to be sent back to Li County to be locked up.
At this moment, Qiao Xingyao really had the urge to jump over and grab Mrs. Qiao's neck, wanting to ask her what stupid thing she did to bring their Qiao family to this point.
Immediately afterwards, they heard that side concubine Wei had arrived.
"My brother must have figured it out!" Mrs. Qiao's eyes that were as dead ashes were ignited with hope again, and she muttered repeatedly in her mouth.
After a while, Mrs. Wei came slowly under the guidance of a nun.
After everyone saluted her, she directly asked straight to the point: "I wonder if Aunt Yu is here?"
The Qiao family all looked at each other in blank dismay, confused, but they quickly brought them here. Aunt Yu was only twenty years old, and she was wearing a water red pomegranate beanie. He bowed his knees and saluted Wei Shi.
Sitting at the head, Wei said politely: "Aunt Yu is indeed gentle and virtuous, with decent manners..."
Everyone was almost dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Wei would inexplicably boast about an aunt he met for the first time. When she said that she would raise Aunt Yu as Qiao Xingyao's wife, the hall was instantly silent.
Wei's meaning is of course the meaning of King Zhennan.
In other words, Mrs. Qiao has completely lost her favor and face in front of King Zhennan!
"Impossible! Impossible!" Mrs. Qiao cursed, pointing at Wei Shi's nose, "Is it you, a bastard, who caused the trouble? What did you say to the prince?..." She roared hysterically. Her eyes and expression were like those of a mad woman, and she was about to fly towards her, but the two women beside her hurriedly grabbed her.
Wei Shi looked at Mrs. Qiao with almost sympathetic eyes, and didn't bother to talk to her at all.
Mrs. Qiao dared to try to attack her grandson. It can only be said that she had brought it on herself. She was able to save her life because she was the prince's sister.
The Qiao family incident did not cause any disturbance in Luoyue City. More mansions focused on the fact that the imperial envoy Chen Rentai was captured by the Xuanjia army. Many high-end mansions couldn't help but speculate on the intention of the son's move. The hearts of the people were restless and anxious, some people began to feel insecure, and some even went to the palace to test their words.
In contrast, some young and energetic teenagers are fearless, and even eager to try.
At Shenshi the next day, as soon as Yao Lianghang left the camp in Luoyue City, he was surrounded by several young generals, and was half pushed and half dragged to the Tayun Restaurant in the city for a drink.
After entering the private seat, Yu Xiufan poured the wine for Yao Lianghang himself, and said with a smile, "Little General Yao, I heard that you went to the post station yesterday and got a lot of money?"
Yu Xiufan still felt a little embarrassed, why didn't the eldest brother give such an interesting task to them, but to the Xuanjia Army instead!
It's not just him who has this kind of thought, the young generals of the Youqi camp at the same table also feel sympathy.
The corners of Yao Lianghang's eyes twitched. He followed the rules since he was a child. He was originally on the same side as Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi, but now because of the son, everyone is in the same boat. Although they have dealt with each other quite a few times, every time he still has the urge to put these people back to his master for enlightenment.
What does it mean to be a big ticket, do you think he is a bandit
"It's just following orders." Yao Lianghang said calmly, picked up the wine glass, raised his head, and readily acted first as a respect.
"Good drinker." Yu Xiufan hastily filled him up with wine again, and changed his address to be more familiar, "Brother Yao really made us angry for us!"
Chang Huaixi drank silently by himself, not surprised by Yu Xiufan's familiarity.
"However, it's still too cheap for that Chen Rentai!" Li Deguang waved his fist and said, "It's so bold that he dared to hit the idea on the sister-in-law and grandson!"
Li Deguang scolded Chen Rentai, but everyone present knew that Chen Rentai was sent by the emperor, and the imperial edict was the imperial seal stamped by the emperor himself.
This time, the son dared to deal with Chen Rentai, so he was naturally mentally prepared to confront the emperor directly!
Several teenagers looked at each other in blank dismay, and for a while, the atmosphere in the private seat was a little dignified.
The young generals here are all grown up in southern Xinjiang, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They didn't have any special respect for the emperor. In their memories, some of them were nothing more than the emperor's disappointment time and time again. It's just behavior.
He recruited Kuilang to be his son-in-law, betrothed the holy maiden of Baiyue to the prince as his side concubine, and ordered the Southern Border Army to assist Kuilang in his restoration, and now he wants the concubine and grandson to go to the king's capital as hostages!
This one pile, one piece is really chilling!
The more the young generals thought about it, the more indignant they became. Lu Pingyao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then put the wine glass on the table with a "snap", gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, we don't have to think about anything, just follow the son!"
Whatever the Master told them to do, they would do it!
"Exactly!" Li Deguang echoed, "As long as you follow Shizi, you have nothing to be afraid of."
They have fought Baiyue with the son of the world, and attacked Nanliang, what else has they not seen in the world!
During the speech, the pupils of the young generals were shining like bright cold stars in the night, and there was a common belief in their faces and eyes——
Shi Ziye.
Even if the son wants to rebel, they dare to accompany him!
At this time, there was no need for too many words, the young generals raised the wine glasses in their hands with a tacit understanding, and then they all raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
Show your heart!
"Snapped"
Those empty cups were thrown on the floor, and the young generals looked at each other and smiled...
The hearty laughter of young people resounded in the private seat again, endlessly...
On March 28th, Marquis Pingyang came to Bixiao Hall for the third time, and this time he finally met Xiao Yi.
Half an hour later, Pingyanghou just came out from the gate of the East Street. At this time, it was already past time, and the bright sun was already extremely dazzling, piercing into Pingyanghou's eyes.
He subconsciously closed his eyes, the pupils of his eyes were deep and dark like the bottomless valley.
He knows that once he shoots the bow, there will be no turning back!
