Han Lingfu thought about the whole plan carefully and confirmed that there was nothing missing, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Now he only needs to wait until the peace talks with Baiyue are completed, and the conditions for his alliance with Baiyue will be fulfilled. At that time, Baiyue will become his ally and help him ascend to that position.

Han Lingfu only felt his blood boil for a while. For so long, he has been restrained everywhere, and it has been a long time since everything went as smoothly as it is now.

The Marquis of Pingyang looked at Han Lingfu's complacent look, calmly picked up the tea cup, used the tea lid to dab the tea leaves in suspension, changed the subject and asked, "What do you think about the fifth prince's shocking horse? ?"

Han Lingfu was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "If something happens to the fifth emperor, only the three older ones will benefit. I think it should be my eldest brother and the second emperor. I know if it's the eldest brother who can't wait to want 'no direct descendant' or the second brother's bitter plan, in short, these are not important."

The shock at that time didn't seem like an accident. He was busy with the official language recently, and he didn't have time to take care of him. It is conceivable that one of his two imperial brothers did it.

The Marquis of Pingyang put down the tea cup and said, "From what I see, the First Prince is more suspicious."

"What does your uncle mean?"

"As you said, there is no direct descendant. If something happens to the fifth prince, the first prince is probably the most advantageous among you. As for the second prince, if you say it's a 'bitter plan', as soon as the matter comes out, it's only a matter of time. It's just that I fought the emperor and the queen a little better, and I have suffered a lot, thank you, so why is this?"

Han Lingfu nodded thoughtfully, and snorted coldly, "Speaking of which, this really seems like a stupid thing my eldest brother would do!"

"No matter how stupid he is, he still holds the title of the eldest son." The Marquis of Pingyang said meaningfully, "There is a direct descendant, but no direct descendant. This is his natural advantage."

Han Lingfu said disdainfully, "Just an idiot."

The Marquis of Pingyang looked at him with pity, and said calmly, "Even if he is an idiot, he is still relying on the name of the eldest son. Don't let us plan so hard here, and in the end let this idiot get the benefit of the fish. Since you want that position, you must not take it lightly."

"What my uncle said is very true." Han Lingfu asked in a groaning voice, "According to what my uncle saw, what should we do?"

"Since the layout is the same, why not drag the eldest prince into the water?"

Han Lingfu raised his eyebrows and said eagerly, "I hope my uncle will help me!"

The Marquis of Pingyang said meaningfully: "Naturally... even if we can't let the emperor abolish the eldest prince this time, we must make him dislike the emperor, and he will not be allowed to stand up again. At that time, Your Highness, you will be able to be among the princes. stand out."

Han Lingfu stood up, faced the Marquis of Pingyang, and said with a deep bow, "Thank you uncle for helping me."

The Marquis of Pingyang got up, helped him up, and said, "Anyway, you also call me uncle. As for us, Marquis of Pingyang, naturally, I hope you can take that seat."

Han Lingfu said solemnly, "Fu will never forget the kindness of my uncle's help."

Marquis Pingyang patted his shoulder, and at an angle he couldn't see, the corners of his lips curved slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

"We'll just wait for the result of the tribunal's tribunal..."

Han Lingfu and the Marquis of Pingyang are not the only ones who are anxiously waiting for the results of the tribunal.

In addition to waiting, there were also people who took the opportunity to stir up trouble and use this momentum to impeach political enemies. For a time, everyone in the court was in danger.

Chen Yuanzhou has been the Minister of War for seven years, and in this royal capital with prosperous in-laws, the so-called movement can lead to the whole body.

Although the emperor was gentle in heart, the emperor was angry, blood was flowing, and the official family was beheaded by the whole family. This time, it involved the remnants of the previous dynasty. No one knew whether the emperor would be angry again.

In the first few days, the emperor remained silent, but since the Ministry of Punishment Minister Gu Mo entered the imperial study, the emperor dismissed several people in a row in anger. For a time, the situation of the whole court and opposition became more serious, and everyone seemed to be It was like a string was broken, for fear of when the fire would burn to him.

Even some of the banquets in the various prefectures can be reduced or reduced. It is obviously a warm winter this year, but the entire royal capital seems to have fallen into a cold winter, filled with a layer of ice that cannot be melted.

On such a day, the Nangong Mansion welcomed two unexpected guests - Mrs. Guangping Hou and her eldest daughter, Mrs. Sun.

"Mrs. Hou, Madam Sun, please!"

Liu Qingqing personally welcomed the mother and daughter to the flower hall, and was very puzzled.

The matter of Nangong Lin is over. They have never communicated between Nangong Mansion and Guangpinghou Mansion, and they will not need to communicate in the future. I don't know why Mrs. Guangpinghou suddenly came with her daughter today.

After the maid served the hot tea, Mrs. Guangping Hou politely praised the good tea.

Seeing her smiling face, Liu Qingqing's heart settled a little, at least Mrs. Guangpinghou should not come to provoke him.

Mrs. Guangping Hou kept smiling slightly, but she was a little dissatisfied in her heart. It stands to reason that, given her status as Mrs. Hou, this Nangong Mansion should have the old lady Su who came to greet her, not the mere eldest daughter-in-law.

Just thinking about the quarrel between Nangong Mansion and Guangpinghou Mansion, and thinking about the purpose of her trip today, Mrs. Guangpinghou could only swallow her anger. It's just that since it's facing Liu Qingqing, it's a little inappropriate to come forward.

Mrs. Guangping Hou gave Mrs. Sun a wink, and Mrs. Sun said with a smile: "Mrs. Nangong, I have heard for a long time that the four girls in your residence are very talented, gentle and virtuous. My mother and I are here to help our younger brother Cheng. I want to marry the four girls in your house."

Liu Qingqing could hardly believe what he had heard, that the Marquis of Guangping wanted to marry Nangong Lin for Cheng Luo? !

Her intuition is a little weird. It has been almost half a month since Nangonglin was "helped" by Cheng Luo. Moreover, Liu Qingqing also sent someone to inform the Houfu of Guangping that Nangonglin went to Zhuangzi to be "ill". If the Hou Mansion really wanted to marry, it would be time to make a statement at that time. Why should he suddenly send someone to ask for marriage when things were about to subside?

Although there were many doubts in his heart, Liu Qingqing still maintained a decent smile.

Suppressing her doubts, she said cautiously, "Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Sun, it is inconvenient for me to decide the marriage of these four younger sisters... Please wait a while, and let me send someone to inform my grandmother."

Liu Qingqing gave the maid behind her a wink, and the maid hurried to Rong'an Hall... So after a stick of incense, Mrs. Guangping Hou and Mrs. Sun moved to Rong'an Hall.

Su Shi was also surprised when she heard that Mrs. Guangping Hou came to propose marriage. Although she didn't know why the boss refused to marry Sister Yan and Guangping Hou's mansion, from what she saw, if she could forge such a marriage, she would be very interested in Nangong Mansion. There should be advantages and disadvantages, anyway, they are seeking to marry Nangong Lin, and it is not against the boss's wishes.

only……

Su's eyes flashed, and they couldn't let Guangpinghou Mansion think that their Nangong Mansion was where they could come and go!

In a short period of time, Su Clan had already made up his mind. She first politely and thoughtfully greeted Mrs. Cheng's mother and daughter, until Mrs. Guangpinghou couldn't help but reiterated her intentions, and Mrs. Su said lightly, "Mrs. Cheng, this old lady is not good at making the decision. , how can I say that Sister Lin is also the only direct daughter of my third and daughter-in-law, and I need to allow my old lady to discuss it with them."

Mrs. Guangping Hou almost turned her face. Who does not know that the third master of Nangong Mansion is the concubine of the Su family, and the marriage of the fourth girl Nangong Lin is obviously a matter of the Su family. Could it be that Nangong Zhi dares to disobey his mother? That Nangong Lin shamelessly did that kind of thing, and their willingness to marry her in the Marquis of Guangping was something she cultivated in her previous life.

But now, after all, I am asking for others...

Mrs. Guangping Hou gritted her teeth, showed a stiff smile, and agreed: "What the old lady said is. Marriage is a matter of life, and it is natural that you should think about it."

After that, the atmosphere in the main hall became a little weird. After saying a few more words, Mrs. Guangping Hou and Mrs. Sun left...

After Mrs. Guangping Hou's mother and daughter left, the more Liu Qingqing thought about it, the more that something was wrong. She wanted to discuss with Su Shi again, but before she spoke, she heard Su Shi say: "Sheng's daughter-in-law, Guangping Hou's residence is coming to you this time. Fourth younger sister proposes marriage, what do you think?"

"Grandson-in-law doesn't think it's appropriate..." Seeing that Su Shi's originally smiling face was slightly down, Liu Qingqing bit the bullet and continued, "As far as the fourth sister is concerned, it is really not a good match for the Guangping Marquis's residence, and it's not a good match. After all that... The Duke of Guangping can really have a better choice, there is no need..."

"Enough." Su shi interrupted her and said, "Our Nangong Mansion is in full swing now, and Sister Lin is also a direct daughter after all, and she is not unworthy of the youngest son of Guangping Hou Mansion. Just don't let the third house know about this. , lest Huang's mother and daughter be too proud, and then do something humiliating." Referring to Huang's mother and daughter, Su's face couldn't help showing disgust. She paused, then said, "Your fourth sister's marriage will be taken care of by you."

Liu Qingqing realized that the Su family had agreed to the marriage, but she just wanted to save face and wanted to delay it for the time being...

Liu Qingqing wanted to persuade her again, but the Su family had already waved her off.

After walking out of Rong'an Hall, Liu Qingqing thought about it, and then called Ziying, her personal maid, and asked her to go to the Zhennan Palace.

Ziying took the lead and hurried away.

At this time, in the Zhennan Palace, Nangong Yuezheng and Xiao Fei came out of the small study. Xiao Fei had read the book for most of the day, and Nangong Yue wanted her to rest. Although Xiao Fei was reluctant to part with it, she obediently put down the book and went to the banquet room with Nangong Yue.

Silver frost charcoal has long been burned in the Yanxi Pavilion, and the house is warm. Xiao Fei was about to sit down on the armchair beside him, but froze.

It was a cold winter, and soft cushions and pillows were placed on the armchairs, but now there was something curled up on the seat cushion of the big red-bottomed vase that shouldn't be here.

A ball of yellow fur curled itself up round and arrogantly occupied the seat cushion.

As Xiao Fei approached, it opened its green eyes, raised its fluffy head, and yawned lazily, with no intention of leaving at all.

"Miss, I'm sorry." Thrush walked over quickly, "This servant will take it away, and then give you a seat cushion."

Xiao Fei cautiously kept a distance from the yellow-striped kitten and said, "Then let him sleep here. I'll just change the place."

"Sister Fei, come and sit with me." Nangong Yue waved at Xiao Fei, and let her sit on the Luohan bed, "It's cold now, and the cat is afraid of the cold. These little guys are attracted." Saying that, Nangong Yue glanced in the direction of the charcoal basin with a smile on her face.

Xiao Fei followed Nangong Yue's line of sight and saw a mass of white hair squatting by the brazier to keep warm. Seeing Nangong Yue looking at it, it meowed arrogantly, then gracefully walked to Nangong Yue's feet and rubbed it. rub.

Nangong Yue leaned over and hugged Cat Xiaobai, put it on her knees and teased, Xiaobai narrowed his eyes in comfort.

Xiao Fei only felt a little itchy when she watched from the side. When she was in the southern border, her mother, Xiao Fang, never allowed her to be infected with these cats and dogs, saying that she was afraid that these beasts would break her face. But sister-in-law has always had no scruples... That is to say, these kittens are not so scary, right?

Nangong Yue said to her with a smile, "Do you want to touch Xiao Bai?"

Xiao Fei nodded, and Nangong Yue held Xiao Bai on her lap. Seeing Xiao Fei cautiously, as if afraid of hurting Xiao Bai, even the maids on the side couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Baihui entered Dongnuan Pavilion, and after saluting, her expression hesitated.

After Nangong Yue explained to Xiao Fei, she went to the small study with Baihui and Lily.

"Prince Prince," Baihui replied, "Zi Ying from the aunt and grandmother is here, and it is said that the aunt and grandmother asked her to come and spread the word that Mrs. Hou of the Hou's Mansion of Guangping went to the Nangong Mansion in person to beg for the youngest son Cheng Luo. Marry the four girls as your first wife."

Hearing this news, Nangong Yue couldn't help but look surprised. The first thought was, why did the Marquis of Guangping suddenly change his mind?

Even if the Marquis of Guangping had asked to marry the second sister, it was a tall order for Nangong Mansion, not to mention Nangong Lin. The third uncle has no official status, and he is also a commoner. Although the uncle is currently in power, but if the house is divided in the future, the three households will be just a commoner at all. How could the Marquis of Guangping take a fancy to Nangonglin...

Nangong Yue frowned slightly, and said as usual: There must be demons in any abnormality. If the mansion of the Marquis of Guangping didn't really like Nangong Lin, it must have another purpose...

In this way, Nangong Mansion can make them willing to sacrifice their eldest son's marriage to climb up. Could it be... Nangong Yue's expression changed, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be because of the turmoil in the court these days?

"I vaguely remember that the girl from the third house of the Marquis of Guangping married the heir of the Chen family's side house..." With the blessing of the host, in order not to make mistakes, Nangong Yue ruthlessly memorized the intricate in-laws in the capital. relation. As she spoke, she felt that this was the most likely guess, and continued: "Recently, the Chen family has been very involved, especially in the past few days, the emperor has successively dismissed several people, all of whom are closely related to Chen Shangshu. , since the Guangping Hou Mansion has an in-law relationship with the Chen family, I think they are afraid..."

At this juncture, the Marquis of Guangping is probably looking for a place to rely on, and if something happens, there is room for relaxation.

Now the holy favor of Nangong Mansion is strong, the eldest uncle Nangong Qin is greatly used, the second brother Nangong Xin, as the companion of the fifth prince, has to marry the eldest princess Yongyang, and the eldest sister Nangong Tsang is the wife of the first son and wife of Jian'anbo Mansion. She is not only the lord of Yaoguang County, the emperor's royal seal, but also the prince and concubine of Zhennan.

Nine times out of ten, the Marquis of Guangping wanted to protect themselves by marrying the Nangong Mansion. Although the uncle Nangong Qin rejected the marriage of the second sister early. But Nangong Lin had made such a thing before, so the Marquis of Guangping could only surrender to Nangong Lin.

Even if the Marquis of Guangping was not implicated in the end, it was just a marriage of an unsuitable young son-in-law, not a clan wife. Compared to the rise and fall of the family, it was really nothing. Instead, you can take concubines in the future.

From what she saw, Nangong Mansion should not be involved in this whirlpool, but she just didn't know what attitude her uncle Nangong Qin had...

Nangong Yue frowned for a moment and asked, "Baihui, where is Ziying now?"

"Zi Ying has passed the word and has already gone back."

Nangong Yue nodded slightly and said, "Bring a box of snacks back to Nangong Mansion for my mother. Ask her, the mansion...especially what my uncle's idea of ​​proposing marriage to the Marquis of Guangping Mansion is."

Baihui naturally understood that bringing snacks back was obviously just an excuse, the important thing was to know Nangong Mansion's current plans.

"Yes, Concubine Shi." Baihui responded and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a carriage. After a stick of incense, she rode out of the Zhennan Palace in the carriage.

The wheel of the car made a monotonous and regular sound, rolling forward, and I don't know how long it took... There was a sudden noise from the street outside, mixed with the exclamations of pedestrians, trivial discussions, and messy footsteps... It seems that something happened.

Baihui was about to ask the driver when she noticed that the carriage had slowed down, and then she heard the driver say hesitantly, "Miss Baihui, there seems to be an accident ahead."

"What happened?" Baihui opened the curtains of the carriage and looked out, only to see a team of Jinyiwei in flying fish suits rushing into an alley

"This is..." Baihui felt uneasy, because the Marquis of Anyi was in this alley!

The driver said to himself: "Recently, there have been cases of Jin Yiwei taking people suddenly in the capital. I don't know whose turn it is this time..."

Baihui let out a soft cry, hurriedly jumped from the carriage, and squeezed into the alley along the crowd.

I saw the Marquis of Anyi's mansion a few dozen feet away, surrounded by Jin Yiwei inside and out, and they all had embroidered spring knives on their waists, and their faces were cold.

A lot of people with good deeds gathered all over the street and stopped to watch, all whispering and discussing:

"Isn't this the Marquis of Anyi Mansion? What are these officers and soldiers here for?"

"What else can you do? Seeing how vicious they are, they must be raiding their homes!"

"No way? Wasn't An Yihou rehabilitated?"

"So what? The emperor's heart is like that of God, if he turns his face, he turns his face!"

"That's right! Back then, when officials and generals were in the imperial court, they protected the peace and tranquility of our borders. It's not like they said they would raid their homes..."

"..."

After all, they only dared to whisper, knowing that Jin Yiwei was there, and if they were not careful, they would lose their heads.

However, Baihui is a martial arts practitioner, and her ears and eyes are clear, and these voices were still clearly transmitted to her ears. How did that happen! There is only one son left in the entire family of the official family. The son has finally cleared the grievances of the official family, and the hardships and hardships have come. Now what the hell is the emperor doing!

"Da da da……"

At this moment, a rush of hooves came from the front, and another team of Jinyi guards arrived in front of the Marquis of Anyi mansion.

Zhao Jiaxiang, a fellow guard in Jinyi who was guarding the main entrance, hurriedly stepped forward and gave a salute, "I have seen your lord before."

It was Lu Huaining, the commander of Jinyiwei, who led the team. He was riding on a tall horse and asked, "How are the people inside now?"

Zhao Jiaxiang replied respectfully, "Don't worry, my lord, the Hou Mansion has been surrounded by us, and the people inside are definitely hard to fly!"

With no expression on his face, Lu Huaining jumped off the horse neatly, then waved his hand and shouted, "Break the door!"

Several sturdy Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" After hitting the door several times, Lu Huaining walked into the mansion first, followed by other Jin Yiwei swarming in. ...

Baihui's pupils shrank, and her complexion changed drastically. She rushed back to the carriage, lowered the curtain, and instructed the driver, "Quick, let's go back to the palace first."

Something happened! She has to hurry back and report to the princess!

The driver responded with a sound, immediately turned around, and flew towards Zhennan Wangfu.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, Baihui hurried to see Nangong Yue. Seeing her anxious look, Nangong Yue hurriedly took her into the small study, and then Baihui revealed everything she saw to Nangong Yue.

The news that Baihui brought back made Nangongyue unable to keep calm any longer, her face turned pale, and she ordered, "Baihui, call Zhu Xing to see me in the outer study!"

Baihui responded and hurriedly went to the front yard to find Zhu Xing.

Nangong Yue hurriedly put on her cloak, and instructed Thrush to pass a message to Xiao Fei in the banquet room, saying that she would come back when she went.

When Nangong Yue came to the outer study, Zhu Xing was already there waiting for her. The two entered the study together, and before he could salute, Nangong Yue couldn't wait to ask, "Have you heard about the Marquis of Anyi?"

Zhu Xing bowed his hands solemnly and replied, "Concubine Yi Shi, this subordinate also just got the news. When the third division was trying the case of Chen Shangshu, they got the emperor's will to search the Chen residence and found it in the dark cabinet of Chen Shangshu's study. I have written a letter. The contents of the letter are not known for the time being. I only know that when the Minister of Punishment presented the letter to the emperor, the emperor was furious. He was also ordered to be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.”

Nangong Yue's face sank like water.

Although I don't know what was written in the letter, since Chen Shangshu was impeached for "colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty", it is obvious that the content of the letter should be related to the remnants of the previous dynasty.

It's a game, a clever game.

The person who laid out is really a sinister mind, a poisonous scheme!

At that time, the official family was framed for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the whole family was executed. Even if he was later rehabilitated, the emperor was somewhat afraid of Guan Yubai. The person with this layout wants to take advantage of this fear.

It's just that now, I don't know what the emperor has in mind...

Nangong Yue frowned for a moment and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Zhu Xing, can you enter the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to meet Marquis Anyi?"

Zhu Xing naturally knew about the alliance between Guan Yubai and his eldest son, and respectfully replied to Nangong Yue's question: "Prince Concubine, if you say that you go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to save people, it may be difficult, but if you just go inside to see people , that would be easy."

"You find a way to meet An Yihou and ask what we can do in this matter."

As the saying goes, "Eat a cut, grow a wiser", Nangong Yue believes that with the wisdom of Guan Yubai, the same thing should not happen twice... In any case, you must know his thoughts before you can make a long-term plan...

"Yes, Concubine Shi." Zhu Xingcai just handed over his promise when he heard a slight noise from outside the window.

Zhu Xingyu frowned and shouted alertly, "Who?!" With that, a pair of sharp eyes shot in the direction of the window like electricity, as did Baihui next to Nangongyue, and even Baihe, who was originally guarding outside the study Step inside.

"It's me!" A male voice familiar with coldness rang out, and then, a black-clothed youth with a grim face neatly turned over the window and entered the house, and bowed his hands to Nangong Yue, saying hello.

With Xiao Si's skills, of course, Zhu Xing wouldn't find out so easily. He deliberately made a sound to attract their attention.

Zhu Xing, Baihui, and Lily were all relieved. In normal times, Lily would have to teach Xiao Si a lesson, but now that something happened to the son, she didn't have the heart to care about Xiao Si. She glanced at Xiao Si and quietly retreated to the outer study.

Nangong Yue worriedly said to Xiao Si, "Little Si, why are you here? But your son..."

Xiao Si took out a letter from his arms and handed it directly to Nangong Yue without shyness, "Young Master, let me send you a letter."
