Chapter 72: Three Days

Gong Xiangxiao was in a complicated mood: "If you go back to your father, it is absolutely impossible for Brother Xinyun to conspire with the Ji family!"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong." Then he was opposed when he finished speaking. The person who spoke was the most trusted aide of the regent in the past two years, with a short beard and white face, and a pale appearance. I don't know why Qi's son came to the Imperial Capital in the first place? Although he is both talented and beautiful, he indulges in his children's personal affairs. If the Ji family promised with a virtuous concubine, how can he not be tempted?"

"What happened to the water in Banshan Villa last year, has the son forgotten?"

"Brother Xinyun is dying now!" Gong Xiangxiao retorted coldly, "Not to mention that after last year's Spring Banshan Villa, Brother Xinyun never mentioned the concubine Xian again, just said that he is in danger now, even though he still cares about Xian Concubine, so what? Even if he really conspired with the Ji family, it is impossible for him to fall into such a passive position? Therefore, he must have been murdered by the Ji family!"

The aide said: "My son, we sent people there, but we didn't see Xiaowei Qi himself at all, but only saw his brother. Whatever he said, he heard what his brother said. As for the news we inquired along the way, because Xiaowei Qi claims to be seriously injured, and has been taken care of by others, and no outsiders are allowed to observe closely. If he is actually fine, it is not impossible to pretend to be dying!"

Xiaowei is Qi Jiulu's official position in the Dingbei Army.

"Besides, the Qi family is a big family in the north. He serves in the Dingbei Army. He is under the care of Uncle Zhaowu and has a family that can be used as a help. How can the Ji family easily calculate it?"

"The son is young, so he may not know that there is a prince in the Northland who has been running the business for many years. Even His Majesty, he can only exert influence euphemistically on the grounds of his love for the concubine, and he does not dare to act like a thunderbolt. Your Majesty, can you still tell Ji to be presumptuous?!"

"I'm afraid, it was Xiaowei Qi who moved his mind and cooperated deliberately!"

Gong Xiangxiao frowned and said, "Didn't the gentleman who went to inquire at Brother Xinyun's residence just now say that? Seeing that Qi Jiuzhang's words and deeds belonged to the Ji family, who knows that it wasn't the Qi family who secretly persuaded the Ji family's lobbyists, and calculated his heart with internal and external cooperation." Brother Yun?"

"This is unlikely." The staff member said calmly, "Although the Qi family's lintel is not high, it is still considered a wealthy family. He has a very high status in the family. If he insists on his heart to the prince, and his father and uncle have never been to the imperial capital, how can he not trust his judgment and trust outsiders?"

Gong Xiangxiao's face gradually turned pale.

The reason why he insisted on speaking for Qi Jiulu was that his relationship with Qi Jiulu was really good, and his situation in the palace was getting worse. In order to prevent being abolished, he needed the support of his subordinates.

Since he has been studying with Chunjia all these years, and has not received the convenience from the regent to cultivate his own power, Gong Xiangxiao has limited wings, so he naturally attaches great importance to Qi Jiulu;

The second one is that he recruited Qi Jiulu with great difficulty, and made some arrangements. As a result, Qi Jiulu was suspected of voting for the Ji family at this moment-if this matter is implemented, even if the regent does not punish him, his evaluation in the eyes of everyone , will be greatly reduced.

The crime of knowing someone unknown cannot be escaped.

Just like Ji Minglang said about Chunjia, Gong Xiangxiao also has no trump card in keeping his position as the eldest son, and there is no possibility of hiding his strength and biding his time, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.

Chun Jia can still wait for Ye Guo Gong Haixi Hou Min Yang Hou and the regent to grow old. If Gong Xiangxiao waits, he will either wait until the regent is defeated and the whole family is on the road; As an adult, the threat is greater.

In this case, he cannot delay or retreat.

But the birth mother is gone and the mother clan is declining, and Gong Xiangxiao's biggest backer, the Prince Regent, has become increasingly indifferent to him. Now the only thing he can rely on is his status as the first wife's son and his ability and reputation.

And as the son of a prince who aspires to fight for the throne, there is no doubt that talent is more important than reputation.

So how can Gong Xiangxiao get involved in things like bad vision?

Not to mention that he himself really suspected that Qi Jiulu would not vote for the Ji family, even if Qi Jiulu really did, he would find a way to deny it!

have no choice……

The regent said indifferently: "What Mr. Fan said is that the son is young, and it is inevitable to miss it... just sit and listen."

Then he didn't give Gong Xiangxiao a chance to speak at all, and discussed the countermeasures with his staff—but Gong Xiangxiao couldn't hear him, he clenched his fists, and felt that the blood all over his body rushed into his brain so that his complexion instantly turned red!

I can't tell if I'm ashamed or sad.

The scene of the deep love between father and son is like an illusion that has never been obtained.

At this moment, Gong Xiangxiao has only one thought in his mind, that is, his father Wang probably plans to deal with him in the near future.

Otherwise, why did he make an exception and arrange for him to enter the meeting hall, but immediately arranged for the most important staff to slap him in the face in public?

This must be to make a public statement and prepare for the next step of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones.

... This night he left in a daze.

But they didn't know that after he left, the regent and Mr. Fan stopped in their footsteps. They watched his back completely disappear into the twilight before they both looked away.

They just looked at each other, but no one said anything.

They bid farewell without words, and went back to their residences.

In the temple the next day, some officials asked about Dengwen drum.

Sure enough, Chunjia comforted his stepfather with addiction... Oh no, it was the reason that he had no time to take care of him. He said that he would postpone the matter, but he could arrange for the imperial physician to treat Qi's son.

The courtiers of the Ji family came out to tactfully urged: "This matter involves the blood relatives of the concubine Xian, and also involves the son-in-law of His Royal Highness Princess Penglai. It is a serious matter. If it is delayed, it will inevitably cause all kinds of unbearable discussions in the public, and suspect that your majesty is partial. , it will also chill the hearts of the frontier soldiers!"

Besides, don't you have a deep relationship with your stepfather?

"If the Xie family is really not a kind person, how can we miss the letter from the late emperor's flesh and blood?"

Chunjia was calm and sincere, and said that it must be done as soon as possible.

Of course, the Ji family would not believe him. They listed a lot of articulate ones, and they insisted on forcing the emperor to agree that within three days at most, he would personally intervene in this matter and give a preliminary solution. .

Of course, after the court is over, no one will really wait for three days foolishly.

Ji Minglang asked someone to arrange to spread rumors the next day, no matter how immoral or sensational it was, he must completely crucify Xianfei and Mrs. Xie.

As for Chun Jia, who favored the concubine Xian and planned to drop a princess to the Xie clan, it could be seen that she was also confused—this sentence is the finishing touch, and it is indispensable in the rumors.

"The Ji family is so shameless!" In the harem, in the Hall of Huanhua, Qing trembled with anger, "How dare they...they actually!!!"

Yun Fenghuang had been prepared for a long time, but he was calm: "They are now a battle of trapped beasts. If things fail, they will be ruined, and even their lives and families will be wiped out. At this time, what methods are not used? I don't care about it." What are you daring to do, shameless or not?"

There was no expression of fear on her face. After all, for her and for the Xie family, if she failed, she would die. Everyone was desperate, so what was there to be afraid of?

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.

"Qi Jiulu's life and death are now related to the important affairs of the temple. Although the future is unpredictable, it is safer than before." Yun Fenghuang asked the Qing people to make a cup of tea for him, drank slowly, and thought, "Before, because of various That's why, there are those who want to kill him, but few want to protect him."

But now, there should be many people who want to kill him and those who want to protect him.

This is still dangerous, but it has an advantage.

Even those who wanted to kill him didn't dare to be too blatant.

Otherwise, if you are caught, you will definitely be thrown into trouble.

This is probably the benefit of becoming a pawn from an irrelevant person?

Yun Fenghuang smiled self-consciously, and continued to think, "Just let him go, um, there is nothing you can do if you don't let go of me. After all, the identities are different now, and it's beyond my reach."

The most important thing for her now is to protect herself.

Speaking of which, I would like to thank Chunjia for the arrangement at last year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. It is a way to whitewash her past: Xie Fenghuan was wronged for not having a romantic relationship, and her original mother The girls of the ethnic group are all pure and pure, it's just that someone entrusts them to be inhumane.

The reason why he was adopted into the Yun clan was also because of his good moral character... The engagement with Qi Jiulu was the meaning of the elders. Because the two were young when they separated, they were said to be unmarried couples. What do they know at such a young age?

Those who say that they have an affair and never forget each other are all dirty in their hearts!

No matter how many people outside believe it, anyway, the Imperial City Secretary made a special trip to the North to announce it to the public.

With such a foundation, it will be difficult to cause a sensation if it is found out that she and Qi Jiulu were engaged to be married.

Of course Yun Fenghuang knew that Mrs. Ji was not stupid, so it was impossible not to take this into consideration.

But she also noticed the fact that the Secretary of the Imperial City went to the Northland last year - Chunjia euphemistically admitted before sending people that this trip was said to be a thorough investigation to avoid the embarrassment of the royal family. .

How he arranged it has not been disclosed to Yun Fenghuang, nor has Yun Fenghuang asked.

But as far as she knows about this emperor...

This time, for her, for Xie Shi, it is extremely difficult.

For Chunjia, I am afraid there is still room for mediation.

Yun Fenghuang thought so, and when Chunjia came over that night, he greeted her with a smile on his face, Chunjia really smiled and asked her: "It is said that there are rumors outside the palace, and even the palace is infiltrated. The concubine seems to be But it wasn't affected?"

"With Your Majesty around, what's the mere buzzing of mosquitoes and flies?" Yun Fenghuang held his arm firmly, and said affectionately, "It's good for me to just watch Your Majesty chase death and chase north!"

Although it has not officially entered the summer yet, the weather is already warm.

The imperial concubine's clothes were naturally thinner, through the light and soft material, Yun Fenghuang was keenly aware of the emperor's slight pause, and immediately said with a smile: "Ai concubine is really smart."

He was dragged to sit on the top, swung back and forth, and asked the school enthusiastically, "My concubine may wish to guess, what will happen next?"
