Four Hundred and Eightieth Chapters Ready to Go

how to say?

If he hadn't always been deeply thoughtful, Yun Fenghuang would feel ashamed just for the old servant's words.

After all, when she was suspicious of Xie Wuzheng here, the other party was sparing no effort to deal with the aftermath.

Isn't such a keen reaction the teammate she hopes for?

"But counting the days, it's still a few days before the incident happened." Yun Fenghuang calmed down and sighed, "But the news didn't come until now... I thought that brother 21 was because of brother 18. , blame the palace."

"Your Majesty, what happened?" The old servant said quickly after hearing the words, "There is a reason why the son-in-law didn't come to contact the mother-in-law: These days, the son-in-law has noticed that someone has been staring at him! The son-in-law is worried about the real purpose of these people It's not him, it's the empress! After all, the Xie family today is all on the empress, not the concubine! Therefore, before finding out the details of the other party, how can the concubine dare to contact the empress rashly? In case there is a planting attack at that time, the concubine said, It's fine if something happens to him, we can't burn the fire on the empress!"

Yun Fenghuang was startled, and resisted the urge to cast his eyes on Chen Jing: How does this subordinate do things? ! It has been said that no matter how poor the Xie family is, it is still a local snake of the time-honored Huizhou brand. If Xie Wuzheng has no problem, it's fine. If there is a problem, it means that this cousin is more capable than she imagined to talk to the city. How can it be so easy to investigate?

Therefore, let him be more cautious. If it is really impossible, it is okay to take it slowly, and she didn't urge him!

It turned out to be better now, and Xie Wuzheng noticed it.

He can't be extra cautious!

So what is the truth, and when will it be possible to find out?

He frowned and said: "There is such a thing?! But I don't know who did it?"

She secretly thought that if Xie Wuzheng suspected that she was having sex with her, she would immediately blame the Gu family or the emperor.

In the end, I heard the old servant say: "Return to your mother's words, the son-in-law suspects that those people are related to the loving empress dowager."

There have been too many things happening in the harem recently, Yun Fenghuang almost forgot about Queen Mother Yuan, at this moment he was stunned when he heard the words, before he said: "Do you have proof?"

"A little bit, but it's not so hard to prove." The old servant shook his head, and whispered, "Actually, the death of Marquis Longping...seems to be related to the loving mother, the Empress Dowager."

Yun Fenghuang listened, feeling slightly awe-inspiring.

Although she was behind the scenes to guide Queen Mother Yuan to murder Longpinghou, Xie Wuzheng did not tell.

Now Xie Wuzheng has even noticed this, it can be seen that this cousin's methods are becoming more and more unpredictable.

This made it more difficult for her to determine whether Xie Wuzheng cheated Xie Xiaoyu.

Because if it was her, she could easily suppress her cousin with her own abilities, but why bother to kill her? Isn't it good to have multiple blood relatives to help?

Of course, it is also possible, Xie Wuzheng thinks, he is so capable, why should he keep the imperial concubine's brother as an eyesore? Without Xie Xiaoyu, he would be the brother that the imperial concubine spared no effort to support, wouldn't he?

"Tell me carefully."

The old servant said "yes", and then said: "In fact, after Vice General Qi came to his senses, he recalled the details and discovered the clues. It's just that Vice General Qi was extremely poisoned and has not fully recovered. Moreover, before his death, Marquis Longping ordered the general The girl entrusted him...he is now entangled in all kinds of things, and he is unable to pursue it any further. Therefore, he told the son-in-law about this in private."

Yun Fenghuang listened, nodded slightly, and didn't know whether to be relieved that Xie Wuzheng was not as skillful as he thought, or because of Qi Jiulu's complicated feelings.

Gathering her mind, she said, "This is a big matter...Even if it's convenient for me, this kind of thing can't be said casually. Let's put it aside for now."

The old servant said: "Your Majesty said that, and the son-in-law also said that this matter is too big. It is good to advise Your Majesty to be aware of it. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to report to His Majesty. Even if you have to report it, it is best to find a way to disclose it to others. First, don't show your face. After all, Marquis Longping has gone, and the matter has already been settled. Your Majesty definitely doesn't want to be found out again."

Even when Gu Fangshu was alive, in the eyes of the emperor, his weight might not be comparable to that of Queen Mother Yuan.

What's more, he's dead?

The whole Gu family's status in front of the emperor has been greatly reduced, and it is even more impossible to sit on an equal footing with the Queen Mother Yuan.

So if Chunjia knew the truth about the death of Marquis Longping, he might be angry, he might be disappointed, and he might find the empress dowager a stranger... But what he is more likely to do is to pretend that there is no such thing and try to destroy all the evidence , to hide it for the loving mother, the Empress Dowager.

After all, if this matter gets out, Queen Mother Yuan's reputation will definitely be affected.

And how could the Gu family not retaliate?

Even if the emperor explicitly sidelined the Empress Dowager Yuan, he still had to consider that he did not personally surround the Empress Dowager Yuan all the time.

What if?

Yun Fenghuang sighed, and said: "This Palace understands...the loving mother Empress Dowager is staring at Brother Twenty-One right now, probably with no good intentions, but I don't know what Brother Twenty-One is going to do now?"

"May I ask you to forgive this old slave for speaking out." The old servant first apologized, and then said, "The son-in-law suspects that the loving mother, the empress dowager, still wants to start with the Xie family's children and target the mother-in-law! If the son-in-law's guess is correct, Because of the Eighteenth Young Master..."

He paused at this point, seeing that Yun Fenghuang had no intention of getting angry, he continued in a low voice, "Because of the Eighteenth Young Master, there must be some people who have doubts about the son-in-law and feel that the son-in-law is not considerate enough to His Highness... ...But how the son-in-law treats His Highness is obvious to all."

"Since His Royal Highness Sui'an descended back then, it is well known that he has been in harmony with his son-in-law."

"Even if the loving mother Empress Dowager wants to spread rumors in this regard, no one will believe it."

"Even if rumors are spread, as long as His Highness stands up to deny and refute the rumors, the truth will naturally come to light...the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, should not be so unwise."

"That's why the son-in-law is thinking about it, worrying that the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, will harm His Highness!"

Yun Fenghuang was startled when she heard this, and after thinking about it quickly, she had to admit that Xie Wuzheng's suspicion was justified!

Of Xiaozong's three biological emperors and daughters, the one married by Ming Hui made Chunjia worry the most, but this first eldest princess had a deep affection for her biological mother and her in-laws, and she didn't want to care about Chunjia's kind treatment at all. The fight was messed up, and even the love that would be inherited from Xiaozong was completely lost; Princess Yun'an and Zheng Fengyu were actually okay, but after the collapse of the Zheng family, Zheng Fengyu was left idle for a while. An suggested that Jin Xi go to get married, and Chunjia reappointed Zheng Fengyu in order to calm things down. Even though Zheng Fengyu was an idler in the princess's mansion, the couple would certainly not lack for fine clothes and food, but this marriage of golden branches and jade leaves, I have to say , the knot was not a happy one.

Only Princess Sui'an, at the beginning of her descent, not everyone felt that Xie Wuzheng's background was too humble.

They even privately discussed that Chunjia was harsh on Xiaozong's relatives and daughters, and because he loved the noble concubine, he actually listened to the slander and promised the dignified emperor's daughter to the son of a gentry, which is simply bullying the orphans and widows.

But after Sui'an's infertility and Xie Wuzheng's oath were spread, it became a good story about love and love.

Word books based on them have become popular for a while.

Xie Wuzheng directly became a model of deep love and righteousness.

Therefore, the ruling and opposition parties all agreed that Sui'an, the son-in-law, had no problem finding him.

Under such circumstances, if you want to criticize Xie Wuzheng, you know that ordinary corruption-taking bribes, fish and meat villages, murdering servants, etc., let alone Xie Wuzheng being told by the imperial concubine to cherish feathers, he will never do it. Even if it is done, the royal family must turn a blind eye to it.

Not only because of Sui'an's face, but also because, anyone who knows a little about the emperor knows that Chunjia is not a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes at all.

He certainly doesn't like this kind of conventional law-breaking behavior.

But that's all.

Far from irritating him.

As the emperor and Sui'an's heir brother, Chunjia's request to Xie Wuzheng is actually very simple: the most important thing is to be a good son-in-law. A good son-in-law and good husband-in-law who are hard to find in a lifetime.

As long as this is done, other crimes, unless they are too excessive, such as treason, can be dealt with leniently by the emperor.

Even if he followed Xie Wuzheng's words and asked him to become an official, looking back, it was actually to beat Xie Wuzheng, to warn him not to play tricks in front of the imperial court, and to step on the pain that Suian could not give birth to.

If he dares to stand up, the emperor dares to show him color.

Let him understand that the golden branches and jade leaves of the royal family are definitely not comparable to ordinary noble girls.

The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, undoubtedly knew Chunjia very well.

So if she was targeting Xie Wuzheng, she would definitely not consider catching Xie Wuzheng's little tricks, it would be useless if she caught him, and it would be useless to expose her true colors that she came back to the Imperial Capital not to keep her own law and order.

It must be thinking that one blow will kill him like he did against Long Pinghou!

"In addition to being detrimental to His Highness, the loving mother Empress Dowager should also consider accusing Brother Twenty-One of having an affair with a messy woman." Yun Fenghuang pondered, and said, "Can you remember something that you can't forget? This Palace understands Your Majesty. Although His Majesty values ​​His Royal Highness Sui'an, he is not unreasonable. Sui'an has had a deep friendship with Brother Twenty-One in the past few years. If Brother Twenty-One is confused for a while, His Highness must forgive him after a while Yes. As long as Sui'an is willing to forgive, His Majesty will not be able to force Sui'an to reconcile with the twenty-first brother... But, if even the heirs come out, even if His Highness Sui'an is willing to continue to endure, I am afraid that His Majesty will endure Don't be so angry!"

Even when the time comes, even Yun Fenghuang will be involved.

After all, Xie Wuzheng, the son-in-law, was the one who strongly recommended it to Chunjia at the beginning.

At that time, she had promised the emperor all good things.

No matter how much Chunjia dotes on her, how could she not pursue it?

You must know that Suian is the only archway where Chunjia treated Xiaozong's flesh and blood kindly.

So the noble concubine said to the old servant: "I am Brother Twenty-One's direct cousin, so naturally I want to look towards Brother Twenty-One. I know that Brother Twenty-One knows the seriousness, so if there is any negligence in this regard, it is still It’s good to clear up the troubles as soon as possible.”

The implication is that if Xie Wuzheng has a good friend outside, or even has an illegitimate child, he will immediately deal with the aftermath.

If you can silence your mouth, then silence it, this is really not the time to be soft-hearted!

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" The old servant shook his head, and said decisively, "My son-in-law has always kept in mind the exhortations of his ex-mother, all these years, and has always kept himself clean. Even the banquets that cannot be turned down are accompanied by His Royal Highness's dowry." The attendants come in and out together, and the palace servants come forward to mediate."

After all, the Xie clan's foundation is shallow, even if Xie Wuzheng is a son-in-law, he is not afraid of a prominent family with some years of experience.

But even this kind of person would not dare to make a mistake when facing a waiter from the palace.

I didn't have to turn around and ask someone to report to the palace ban, and I left a bad impression on my family in front of the imperial court for no reason.

Yun Fenghuang coughed dryly: "What happened before the Lord Shang?"

Didn't Xie Fu just mess around outside at the beginning, and was framed by someone, and he was once in a mess?

"Young lady, the son-in-law was still young before." The old servant was a little helpless, "When I was in the north, I stayed in the room and studied. You probably forgot that the maid who was in front of the son-in-law at that time, They all chose the kind of arrangement that no one wanted. Our Mrs. Fang has always placed high hopes on the son-in-law. How could she be distracted before the son-in-law was named on the gold list? Later, when he came to the Imperial Capital, the empress had instructions from the emperor’s side. I'm familiar with it, and I'm afraid of causing you trouble, so I stay at home..."

Yun Fenghuang noticed that the Qing people nodded slightly. When she was at home, she was not familiar with Xie Wuzheng, because they were not siblings in the same room, and they were a little bit younger. She was busy talking about the ages of her own family and outsiders. It seems that girls are too late to grab the limelight, so of course they don't pay much attention to this brother. But the Qing people, as the Jiang family's close servants, help the Jiang family to consolidate the power in the backyard every day, so they must keep an eye on the big house, and they must know something.

So he didn't ask any more, just sighed and said: "If Brother Eighteen has half as much effort as Brother Twenty-One, why would I be so ashamed this time?"

She stopped doubting Xie Wuzheng on the sidelines, and discussed with the old servant how to deal with the conspiracy of the loving mother and empress dowager.

The old servant said that Xie Wuzheng's plan for this is that he is still keeping his filial piety, and Princess Suian doesn't like to go out. The princess has a high status, and she doesn't like to go to many banquets and other occasions in the Northland. People dare to force. In short, we are now living behind closed doors, and it is not easy to do anything with the loving mother Empress Dowager here for a while.

"The son-in-law has secretly persuaded several in-laws to follow behind the hands of the loving mother and empress dowager." The old servant said, "After all, the filial piety period of the lords and wives has not passed, what the son-in-law means is, don't bother me for the sake of outsiders." He is filial to His Highness. After the filial piety expires, he will deliberately sell a loophole to catch everyone and present a generous gift to the loving mother, the Empress Dowager!"

"...a generous gift?" Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "I want to present a generous gift to my loving mother, the Empress Dowager...I'm afraid it's not that easy?"
