Views:

"You just came back from the capital? How's the situation there?"

In the study room of the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, the King of Xiangyang, dressed in beautiful clothes, sat in a chair and asked his confidant Liu Qiang who was standing opposite. xs520.

Liu Qiang took a step forward, bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "Go back to the prince, the situation... seems to be out of the prince's control."

"What do you mean?" King Xiangyang's hand on the table immediately clenched into a fist, and there was a trace of anger mixed with the slightly nervous question. What he hates and fears the most is that things are out of control, because what he has to do is For a fatal event, getting out of control often means failure and death.

"After the emperor fainted once, there was no more movement. The prince also fainted once two months ago, but within three days, the emperor sent Duan Tingxuan, the prince of Anping, to supervise the training of the prince. It is said that the wife of the prince of Anping is good at cooking , with her wonderful soup, the prince no longer likes to eat meat every meal, and Anping Hou Shizi supervised the prince's exercise. Before his subordinates left the capital, they once had a look at the prince from a distance. When my subordinates saw him once, they had already lost some weight..."

Liu Qiang narrated in a deep voice, and before he could finish speaking, he heard a "bang", and King Xiangyang's fist slammed on the table, and then he got up angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Zizi is abominable, this king has plotted for twenty years!" , will it be completely destroyed in his hands? No, this king will not allow it, absolutely not."

Liu Qiang was silent. Hearing the lord's heavy breathing, he asked in a deep voice, "My lord, what should we do now?"

The King of Xiangyang remained silent, and Liu Qiang didn't dare to interrupt his train of thought. After a while, he saw that his face gradually calmed down, and he raised his head and said coldly, "Mrs. Duan Tingxuan. Is that the woman who made the birthday cake?"

"Yes." Liu Qiang nodded, thinking that the news spread so fast that even the prince knew Mrs. Anping Hou Shizi.

"Unexpectedly, Duke Pingguo's family is finished, but his daughter appears. Didn't she say that she had been abandoned by the Duan family? I thought she was dead." King Xiangyang muttered a little angrily.

My lord, now is not the time to talk about this, is it? Liu Qiang was secretly anxious in his heart. Hastily said again: "What method did she use to regain Duan Shizi's favor, I don't know. But this woman is not simple now, she doesn't go out very much, but she keeps her word in the mansion. I heard that Shizi obeyed her, Your Majesty The queen also likes her very much. The herbal tea and ice cream she made are popular in the capital. The most scratchy thing is that she doesn't know how to cook those vegetarian dishes. Not only the prince, but the emperor has always liked meat, but he praises her vegetarian dishes very much. Now I even eat porridge and pickles in the morning... "

"Boom" sound. King Xiangyang slammed his fist on the table again, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said word by word: "So, this woman can't be kept."

"What does your lord mean?"

"Find someone to kill her." King Xiangyang said coldly.

"But she doesn't go out much." Liu Qiang didn't mean to be embarrassed, but just stated a fact.

"Then wait. I don't believe that she can never go out for the rest of her life. If she can't, she should find a way to create opportunities. You don't need me to advise you on this kind of thing, right?"

"Yes, this subordinate will definitely complete the task." Liu Qiang was terrified, and quickly bowed to promise. However, King Xiangyang hesitated and said: "Wait a minute, let me think about it." After speaking, he walked around the room for a few steps, then suddenly stood still, and said softly, "You mean? Duan Tingxuan obeyed this woman's advice?"

"Yes, that's what the subordinate's eyeliner in the Hou's mansion said. He also said that for this woman, the son of the world would not even care about two concubines who are all over the country."

"Duan Tingxuan has always been cruel and ruthless. If he really values this woman, killing her will only arouse his boundless anger. He is deeply trusted by the emperor and the prince. I don't know what kind of storms will be caused when he is angry. Maybe it's not good for us."

Liu Qiang saw that the prince was pondering and seemed to change his mind, but he was embarrassed to say so, so he hurriedly passed the steps up the steps: "The prince is wise, and my subordinates also feel that we need to think twice about this matter."

King Xiangyang nodded calmly: "Since that's the case, think of a way to trick her out and tie her up, and let Duan Tingxuan play tricks on her. Maybe you can do two things for us."

"My lord is wise, my subordinates will go and order now." Liu Qiang gave a thumbs up, flattering from the bottom of his heart. Just as he was about to turn around, King Xiangyang said again: "Of course, the more bargaining chips, the better. If the old ancestor in the Hou's mansion can also be tied together, the effect should be even better."

Liu Qiang, who had just turned around, almost staggered and fell to the ground: Do you want to kidnap the old lady? My lord, is it not as greedy as you? How dare you say that? I had no choice but to take a deep breath and said: "Go back to the lord, the old lady is inconvenient to move, and I am afraid it will be difficult to travel."

"You can't tie up the old one, but you can tie up Mrs. Hou Ye. That's Duan Tingxuan's biological mother. He can't just ignore it, right? When the time comes, his beautiful wife, concubine and mother will be in our hands, so we're afraid that he won't listen to us. order?"

The difficulty of this task is still very high, but it is still... a little bit smaller than kidnapping the old lady in the Hou's mansion. Liu Qiang didn't dare to find any more reasons. He knew that the prince was not a very good-tempered person. At this time, it was very rare for him to be able to control himself and not violently kill people.

Walking out of the study, Liu Qiang looked up at the starry sky, heaved a sigh of relief, and began to seriously consider how to plan the whole thing.

"This time is fast and fast. In a blink of an eye, it will be autumn."

In Chunfeng Garden, Aunt Jing and Aunt Lin accompanied Su Nuannuan to sit under the grape arbor, chatting casually.

"It's very hot in autumn." Su Nuannuan complained, shaking the round fan. But Aunt Lin smiled and said: "There is still a volt after autumn, besides, there are countless, autumn tigers, autumn tigers, what's more, it will be hot for ten days and a half months."

"Finally another ten days and half a month will pass." Su Nuannuan sighed, but Aunt Jing said with a smile: "This summer, the ice cream made by my sister is much better than usual."

Su Nuannuan rolled her eyes: "It's easy to say, but I'm troubled by the ice cream." After finishing speaking, Aunt Lin said: "That's true, why don't grandma leave it to the kitchen? You can also save some trouble."

Su Nuannuan said in frustration: "Don't mention it, the uncle and the second master got into the eyes of money, isn't this going to make a big move in the capital soon? I am not allowed to give the prescription to others, and neither is Xue's daughter-in-law, which made me exhausted Live. I'm so angry, if I don't see that I can share the money, I won't be tired of it."

Aunt Jing and Aunt Xu couldn't help laughing, and Aunt Jing said: "My sister is right, so it shows that you are also falling into the eyes of money? Otherwise, you will still care about what the master and the second master will do?"

Su Nuannuan was exposed, and immediately shouted angrily: "Don't tell the truth, this is the rule of my Chunfengyuan, how dare you not abide by it? Lucky."

With a cry, the big tabby cat heard the sound and jumped on Su Nuannuan meowing. She was so anxious that she quickly picked it up and put Zhaocai on Aunt Jing's body, saying repeatedly: "Hot her, heat her! , I don't need you right now."

"Zhaocai seems to have gotten fatter again." Aunt Jing gently picked up Zhaocai, and it was obvious that she liked pets very much. Even Shi Yurou's Persian cat would hug her and pet her if she met her.

"Isn't it? But fortunately, his skills are more flexible than before, otherwise he would have died under the poisonous hands of your master. He is really a foodie. If someone dares to steal his food, oh! The old lady and I will be fine, He can't beat people, but Zhaocai is a cat, every day when he comes back, my Chunfeng Garden will be full of excitement, one person and one cat fight very happily."

Aunt Jing smiled and said: "Grandma is still complaining. I heard Grandma Lan and Grandma Yun say together that day, why don't you raise a cat too, thinking that when you come to Spring Breeze Garden every day, besides the food, you will also be able to attract money."

Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "Although they keep them, they will come to me when the time comes, and let your father fight against a few cats alone. I don't know who will win and who will lose. The Persian cat in the second room is useless. Seeing the trick Wealthy people dare not take a breath, let alone your grandfather."

They were chatting and laughing when they saw Duan Xinqi walk in, Aunt Lin stood up and said, "Why did you come here? It took so long to change clothes?"

"No, I met Grandma Hua when I came here, and she dragged me and talked boring things for a long time." Duan Xinqi blushed slightly, so the few people knew what kind of boring words, Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "Our second girl is in a very good market now. I heard that several groups of people have come to inquire about the old lady and the wife. Do you have a favorite candidate in your mind?"

Duan Xinqi blushed even more, stomped his feet and said, "Sister-in-law is making fun of me again, so I won't tell you anymore." After speaking, she turned around, picked up Zhaocai and sat aside, Aunt Lin said gratefully: "Thanks to grandma for supporting me that day, This child has finally come to this day. I was afraid that she would live in a family for the rest of her life, but the old master came over and told me that there are two good ones among the families that are sniffing out..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Duan Xinqi yelling over there again, and she said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let me stop talking, let me ask you, what is Hua Daopo doing here?"

"She said she came to find Mrs. Min. She said a few days ago that she wanted to offer lamps." Duan Xinqi agreed casually, and suddenly said: "By the way, sister-in-law and auntie, have you heard? Several villages have already been robbed, and it was said that they were robbers, so I wondered, how dare the robbers act arrogantly at the feet of the emperor?"

Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "Your elder brother came back and said about this, don't worry, the arrogance will not last for a few days, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have joined forces, and the emperor has transferred the Beijing army to deal with these thieves. Humph! Tell me, luckily they didn't come to the capital, if they did, Guanbao would be caught in the urn."

Aunt Jing said: "It's not necessarily peaceful in the capital city. Some thefts and robberies have also increased significantly these days. I don't know what's going on? It's obviously far away from the Chinese New Year. Why can't these sneaky people hold back?"
