Chapter 98 Comprehension of the Holy Will

After a while, Chunjia arrived in a hurry.

What I saw was Xie Kuo, whose face was still pale but with bright eyes, and the noble concubine, whose face was like frost and snow.

The emperor called Pingshen, looked at Xie Kuo more, and focused all his attention on the noble concubine: "What's going on now?"

Xie Kuo sat beside her with a calm expression, but her heart was not at all calm: Before the emperor came, Yun Fenghuang told her to show a little bit of surprise later, but she was determined not to show too much color .

"Remember, what is your identity, what you say and what you do!"

"If you are just my niece, and you are in danger of surviving, of course the more you are afraid, the better. Even this palace will show you a pear blossom with rain, so as to arouse your majesty's enthusiasm." Pity."

"But now you are Princess Xincheng, the person sent by the imperial court to marry Wei He."

"You represent not only yourself, but also the country's plan!"

"So, even if you are only a girl in her teens now, you can't be too weak!"

"Otherwise, your Majesty, the Lords of the Temple, how can you rest assured that such a big plan will be entrusted to you?"

"You have to show the appearance of being able to hold on to the situation at critical moments... Pretend to show me your courage, adaptability and grasp of the overall situation."

"In this way, His Majesty will value you."

"Otherwise, even if His Majesty is reluctant to marry your own imperial daughter, who can replace you with the princesses and daughters of many clans?"

"If so, His Majesty will be angry. At most, someone dares to target his Imperial Princess Heqin, but he won't be afraid of you!"

"But if you make him think that a candidate like you, even if not unique, is quite rare. If he misses you, he may find it difficult to find someone who is similar to you... His Majesty's fright and anger will not only be for him For the sake of face, it is to almost lose a talent..."

"That is the end of the mastermind!"

She chewed on her aunt's advice, collected herself, and listened to Yun Fenghuang's reply with lowered eyes.

Yun Fenghuang spoke a little faster, with his eyebrows slightly frowned, obviously attaching great importance to this matter, but his words were not chaotic at all, and his tone was relatively calm, showing that his mood was not chaotic: "The people who serve Xincheng are still being tortured separately. At present, it seems that the most suspicious are a servant and two court ladies. Since Xincheng was registered, the concubine has specially selected a group of people for her. It's just that the old people who took care of Xincheng in the past have a relationship with her. Although the feelings are not as smart as the later generations, they have always been kept. The servant who is suspected now is the one who stayed at that time... The concubine was just saying that she was a child, she was soft-hearted, and she left a nail in front of her Do not know at all!"

Chun Jia also frowned, subconsciously looking at Xie Kuo.

Xie Kuo immediately got up to plead guilty. The girl was pale, but she spoke as calmly and calmly as her aunt. If he loses the opportunity to serve Xincheng, he will be sent to a remote place, and then he will be bullied and exploited by the supervisor... Xincheng pleaded for his aunt for a while, and let him stay. Who knows... But Rong Xincheng is daring: Right now Li Xi just can't produce evidence that he was resting alone in the house at that time, but it may not be that he betrayed Xincheng."

Hearing that Chunjia hadn't said anything yet, Yun Fenghuang said coldly: "What if it turns out that he has a problem?"

Xie Kuo's face was clearly darkened, weak, annoyed, angry, hurt, confused... After only a short moment of hesitation, she had recovered her composure and firmness, and said with a straight face: "That is to say that belief becomes stupid, wrong belief is credulous, Also ask aunt to punish!"

"The concubine is just worried about her." Yun Fenghuang ignored her, but sighed to the emperor, "The child has been with the concubine in the palace since she was young, and the people in front of her have always coaxed her, and she is nostalgic. So when things happen, you have to be naive with a childish innocence, and you just can't stop being ruthless at critical moments!"

Chunjia nodded slightly: "Listen more to your aunt, your aunt is protecting you in the palace, and you went to Weihe, you are from the Dayan family, and no one above protects you, you still have to protect your dowry. "

"Yes." Xie Kuo pursed his lips and lowered his head meekly.

But I remembered Yun Fenghuang's exhortation in my heart: "Li Xi cried to you at the beginning, you planned to listen to the arrangement of this palace, and this palace specially asked you to keep him, just for today's use: let your majesty see Your nostalgia. After all, you have traveled thousands of miles, and you are married to the lord of a country... No matter how weak and destitute, he is also the lord of a country that once ravaged the Central Plains! Even if His Majesty and his courtiers must arrange a lot of people by your side, you still have to I am worried that you have been away for a long time, and you really want to live with Khan. Therefore, showing your nostalgia for your homeland appropriately, and the soft heart of a girl of this age will make your Majesty and the others feel more at ease."

"If such words are mentioned directly, they may not be trusted."

"But through Li Xi's actions, it is natural, and it seems to show his true feelings."

She thought for a while, raised her head, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, aunt, there was a reason why Xincheng asked Li Xi to stay in the first place: he was only three years older than Xincheng, and his background was quite pitiful. Yu's stepmother was sold into the palace as a servant. Earlier, she served in other palaces, but was bullied and exploited by the stewards, and her injuries never stopped. Later, my aunt presided over the Xuanqing Palace, and he was the first batch to be transferred in. Come After coming to my aunt, no one specifically bullied him, but the rough envoy and the servants are also poor. After serving Xincheng, I will get some face."

"He said that although the family sold him, he was close to his flesh and blood, but he didn't hate him. He wanted to save some money to go back and teach his younger brother to study. Maybe he could have a scholar in the future to support the family."

"Xincheng thinks that although Li Xi has encountered ups and downs, it is very valuable that he can repay his grievances with kindness, so he can't bear his plan to fail."

He also said, "It's true that Xincheng asked the chief manager to investigate the matter of him supporting his younger brother's education in private two years ago."

"So Xincheng really can't imagine, what reason would he have to murder Xincheng and betray his aunt?"

Chunjia looked at Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang said with a sullen face, "Just now Chen Jinglai said that what Xincheng entrusted to him in private is true, then Li Xi's family does have a younger brother born of his stepmother, the rumor is very true. Smart, and indeed studying in the village school. But the Li family itself is not very poor, and they can afford it. It's just that Li Xi's stepmother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and always cries poorly to Li Xi... Li Xi, the share Basically all the cases were saved and sent back, but he is also an idiot."

"Ah?" Xie Kuo was clearly startled, showing a little sad expression, but immediately said, "Auntie, then, if this is the case, is it possible that Li Xi was deceived by someone into thinking that his family fell into the wrong hands? Li, this is the last resort to murder Xincheng?"

Chunjia heard this, and suddenly asked: "If so, what are you going to do?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, state-owned state-law families have family rules, so naturally they followed the rules." Xie Kuo said without hesitation.

Chunjia looked at her inquisitively: "Do you know that murdering a princess whom I have enshrined or a princess who is about to marry another country is like treason, and it is to punish the nine clans!"

"But Your Majesty, regardless of what difficulties Li Xi has, if he really did this, wouldn't he and his family have to bear the consequences?" Xie Kuo glanced at Chunjia cautiously, and said softly, "After all, Xincheng is Li Xi's master, and he treats him kindly. He has the heart to murder Xincheng for the sake of his family. Does Xincheng want to be sympathetic to him? In this world, there are only servants who are sympathetic to the master, and children who are sympathetic to parents." , It is only natural for a courtier to be sympathetic to the emperor. If it is the other way around, it is the grace of the master, parents, and the emperor, but it should not be."

"Furthermore, Li Xi has family to take care of, so does Xincheng!"

"My aunt raised Xincheng for many years and treated Xincheng as if she were her own child. If something happened to Xincheng, how would you teach my aunt what to do?"

"Besides, Xincheng is still His Majesty's imperial concubine, and she is about to marry far away. Now that she has made an attack on Xincheng, where does he put His Majesty, the court, and the country?!"

"The murderer never thinks about these things, so why should Xincheng be soft-hearted?"

Yun Fenghuang snorted softly: "I and Your Majesty have their own opinions on how to deal with it, so don't show off your children's ideas here!"

"Oh, Ah Huang, what your niece said is not bad." Chunjia smiled, and said gently, "At first I saw her speaking for Li Xi, and I thought the child was soft-hearted, but it turns out that she is soft-hearted. There’s no shortage of decisions.”

Xie Kuo suppressed his joy, maintained a calm expression, and said: "Xin Cheng thanked His Majesty, His Majesty praised you absurdly, Xin Cheng just spoke boldly."

She thought it was no wonder that her aunt had been favored by her aunt for many years, and her favor never faded... She was too accurate in grasping Chunjia's thoughts.

"You're such a grown-up, and you can't tell what's important, but what's the use of raising it?" Yun Fenghuang cast a glance at his niece and said in distaste, "Forget it, you go down, I have something to talk to Your Majesty. "

Xie Kuo didn't move, but stood up and blessed, earnestly said: "Auntie, this matter involves Xincheng, and Xincheng is about to marry far away, please Auntie Rong Xincheng to sit in on it for a while. After all, this is still in the palace, in front of Auntie, Even if such a thing happened, if he went to a foreign country in the future, there would probably be more similar murders. I also beg my aunt and Your Majesty, Rong Xincheng has a bit of knowledge, and in the future, I will have a bottom line in my heart so that I won't In a hurry."

What she said at the end was "in a hurry" instead of "helpless", which shows that she is consciously able to deal with such a thing, at least not completely helpless.

At most, because of lack of experience, it is more anxious.

Chunjia noticed that the admiration in his eyes deepened a bit, and before Yun Fenghuang could speak, he said, "What the child said makes sense, Ah Huang, if that's the case, let her stay, since the left and right are not outsiders. "

Now she is no longer an outsider, Xie Kuo is very emotional, she entered the palace when she was young, except for being kicked out of the palace for a few days because of the tribe's mischief, she grew up in front of Yun Fenghuang, the chance to meet Chunjia Not a few.

The emperor was not harsh on her, and he never cared that Yun Fenghuang gave her the treatment second only to the emperor's daughter.

But I didn't like her very much before... Among Yunfenghuang's three nieces, the emperor's favorite is Xie Meng, who is innocent and has no city.

Xie Kuo is relatively cold and distant.

Not to mention that she is her own.

As long as Xie Kuo can remember, he has heard discussions from his family members, saying that her cousin is very intelligent, and that other children of the Xie family are far inferior.

So she has always known that Yun Fenghuang is powerful, but until today she realized that this aunt is much more powerful than she imagined.

She couldn't help but have greater confidence in the next step and the road ahead.

"Since His Majesty has allowed you to stay, then you should listen carefully." Yun Fenghuang noticed his niece's thoughts wandering, cast a warning glance at her, and said softly, "Don't just stay for a show."

Facing Chunjia's teasing eyes, "Ah Huang, you are really strict in teaching your niece and daughter", the noble concubine said slowly, "Your Majesty, I dare not say that the concubine governs the palace without leaks, but it is rare to see accidents. Not to mention that Xincheng is only a concubine's niece. , since becoming a princess after receiving the canonization letter, she has also changed, which can be regarded as noble. Now it is the moment when she is about to marry far away, where does an ordinary person have the courage to treat her like this?!"
