Text Chapter 2147: Playing the Long Game to Catch the Big Fish!
The humiliation in Xiahou Chengyu's words is understandable, and Qing Yuanzun feels the same way, even more so. His mother suffered such a great humiliation, but he, as a son, was powerless. The humiliation and grief in his heart emanated from every pore.
Xiahou Chengyu: My son, remember, strive for what you should strive for. If you can't hope for it, save your life first. Your Majesty, I don't have any hope for you!
She was referring to the throne.
Qing Yuanzun felt aggrieved and said: Mother, come to me, don't stay in the palace and suffer that!
Xiahou Chengyu: I won't leave! If I leave, won't that bitch get away with it? As long as I'm here, she has to stay in the cold palace. If I don't feel good, she won't feel good either!
Qing Yuanzun: Mother, who is she? How can she be compared with you? Don't waste time with her. Come to me. No one here dares to look at you!
Xiahou Chengyu: My son, where can I go with my status! If I go to your place, what will His Majesty think? It will only harm you! What will happen if I go to your place? Your Majesty has the final say. It's useless. I have suffered all my life. I don't expect anything else. I just hope you can be well. You must know shame and then be brave!
That's right. It's the Lord of Qing who has the final say. Qing Yuanzun was filled with a sense of powerlessness. The feeling of watching his mother being humiliated but unable to do anything made him burst into tears, and a low roar like a beast came out of his throat...
On the cliff, Teng Zhong put away the Xingling in his hand and said to Teng Fei who was standing with his hands behind his back: "My lord, it's done. Concubine Li has been dealt with cleanly, and there is no handle left."
Teng Fei sighed lightly, "The matter is too obvious. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lord of Qing not to suspect us. But Niu Youde is treacherous. Lord of Qing sent people to assassinate him, but he didn't say anything, and pushed me to the front... There is no way, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. Whether Lord of Qing suspects or not , no matter how the Lord of Qing will counterattack, we still have to do what we should do. You should sort out the matter of Concubine Li. Concubine Li was killed in the Heavenly Palace. I want to ask the Lord of Qing for an explanation! "
This is the thief crying "Catch the thief" and blaming the thief. Teng Zhong nodded and said, "I understand... But will Niu Youde break his promise?"
For this, Teng Fei said with certainty: "Just as he said, if I leak his plan, he can't afford the consequences!"
In the Niu Tianwang Mansion, Miao Yi, who has never had much interest in elegance, was sitting alone on the balcony, leaning on a wide chair, enjoying the singing and dancing with a glass of wine in one hand, but it was enough to see that he was a little absent-minded. His eyes and attention were not on the graceful figures of the singing and dancing beauties at all. I don't know where he was wandering.
Yang Zhaoqing came from the side, leaned over and whispered in his ear for a while. Miao Yi put down the wine glass, stood up and walked to the railing to look into the distance for a long time without saying a word.
Yang Zhaoqing waved to the singing and dancing beauties. The singing and dancing stopped, and a group of beauties retreated and left quietly.
Miao Yi was a little confused. The news from Tengfei and the Xiahou family came. He knew exactly what happened in the cold palace. How Zhan Ruyi was injured, how the Qing Lord was angry, Xiahou Chengyu was under house arrest, and Li Fei was silenced.
When the plan started, Miao Yi thought that Xiahou Chengyu's temper might kill Zhan Ruyi directly, and then completely angered the Qing Lord. It was possible that even Xiahou Chengyu could not escape death, and the final situation of Qing Yuanzun could be imagined. As for the promise to Xiahou Tuo, he did not say that he would definitely not ruin the big thing to protect Xiahou Chengyu.
Who would have thought that Xiahou Chengyu was so stupid that he only cared about venting and did not know to take the opportunity to eliminate the troubles first, and actually let Zhan Ruyi escape, and Xiahou Chengyu also escaped. Although the result might not be unexpected, it was just that the process was not what he wanted to see.
Some things may be over once the person dies. If Zhan Ruyi died, he would not have to face some things in the future and could escape. Now Zhan Ruyi is still alive, some things can't be hidden, Zhan Ruyi will know the truth sooner or later in the future, he really doesn't know how to face Zhan Ruyi.
In the house, the scene of Zhan Ruyi taking off her clothes and crying for him appeared clearly in his mind again. This scene lingered, plus this incident, he has never felt so indebted to a woman in his life. As long as Zhan Ruyi is alive, his heart will never be at peace!
Try to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind, Miao Yi took out the star bell and contacted Xiahou Chengyu directly...
In Tianpin Palace, Shangguan Qing came to meet Xiahou Chengyu in person, naturally to explain the misunderstanding. Qingzhu didn't dare to come to see Xiahou Chengyu, otherwise if Xiahou Chengyu stared at Zhan Ruyi, it would only embarrass Qingzhu, and if Qingzhu didn't obey, it would only arouse Xiahou Chengyu's anger.
Shangguan Qing reported that Concubine Li had been silenced, and emphasized that this was a trap set by someone, someone was deliberately luring Xiahou Chengyu into a trap, and advised Xiahou Chengyu not to fall for someone else's evil scheme.
All the good words and flattery were useless. Xiahou Chengyu, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, only asked one question, "Is it true that the bitch left the cold palace without permission? I only ask if it is true that the bitch violated the heavenly law?"
Shangguan Qing had a hard time saying anything. Whatever Qingzhu said, he said that the valley belonged to the cold palace, and it was the cold palace. It can also be said that the valley had been included in the cold palace a long time ago, but that was okay to say to court officials and other people, but would it be useful to argue with Xiahou Chengyu? Dare to say this and force Xiahou Chengyu to fight, then it is not to comfort, but to add fuel to the fire!
Shangguan Qing said vaguely: "This matter is obviously designed by someone, and His Majesty is still investigating. There may be some conspiracy!"
Snapped! Xiahou Chengyu stood up and slapped the table, pointed at his nose and shouted angrily: "Shangguan Qing, don't do this with me. You and I both know what His Majesty has in mind. There is no need to fool me into thinking that I am a fool! Design? Design? What? That bitch has been out of the cold palace for a day or two. I saw it with my own eyes and caught it with my own hands. Are you still trying to help distort the truth? Is your conscience being eaten by a dog? Is this a child's play? That bitch is a guilty person, and now he has violated the law of heaven. I just ask you whether you should kill him or not!"
She didn't listen to those messy reasons, and she didn't want to care about those messy reasons. She only focused on a few facts and repeatedly asked for explanations.
Shangguan Qing could decide whether he should be killed or not. When Xia Hou Chengyu grabbed the wrong place and refused to let go, Shangguan Qing lost his temper and finally retreated. He came here to be scolded in vain and could only bow his head and suffer. , the key point is that Qingzhu is unreasonable. Since you can't abolish this queen, then you can only be reasonable. If you are unreasonable, what else can you do? They can only run away.
Seeing Shangguan Qing running away without giving any explanation, Xiahou Chengyu cried angrily again. It was obvious that Master Qing wanted to protect that bitch!
Miao Yi's message came at this time. As soon as Xiahou Chengyu took out the star bell and contacted him, Miao Yili asked: Madam, I have received news that you are under house arrest by His Majesty in the Tianmu Palace. I don't know whether it is true or not. ?
Xiahou Chengyu felt more and more uncomfortable. He didn't expect that the news had spread. Zhan Ruyi was fine, but she was placed under house arrest. How would she see people in the palace in the future?
Full of grief, anger, disappointment, sadness, and frustration, Xiahou Chengyu only asked: Niu Tianwang, do you mean what you said back then?
Miao Yi asked: I wonder what the empress is referring to?
What else could it be? The so-called support of her as the Queen of Heaven and loyalty to the Emperor. Xiahou Chengyu mentioned this again and again to test his attitude, but he did not dare to ask him for anything. He knew that he had no ability to ask others for anything now. He was the Queen of Heaven. Identity cannot scare people.
Miao Yi was somewhat stunned. He originally wanted to change the topic in this direction and induce him, but Xiahou Chengyu himself took the initiative to come here, which really saved a lot of trouble. It seemed that this woman was indeed very angry.
Miao Yi said: "I can't give you any guarantees, and I won't say any more nonsense, but I will definitely try my best. Your Majesty will see it in the future."
Xiahou Chengyu: I don’t dare to ask for anything from the prince. If the prince still remembers the kindness of the prince, if my son Yuan Zun encounters any trouble in the future, please don’t stand idly by and at least protect my son’s life!
The reason why he can say this is naturally because Miao Yi has been supporting Qing Yuanzun for free these years and has not asked for any benefits from their mother and son. It has indeed allowed the mother and son to see Miao Yi's 'sincerity'. Little did she know that this was a plan that Yang Qing had drawn up a long time ago. All these years of free efforts were just to win the trust of the mother and son. They were waiting for this day to come and fish for the big fish!
Miao Yi: The situation may not be as serious as your Majesty thinks. Your Highness, I will not sit idly by and ignore it. I will send someone over to secretly assist Your Highness...
After the two ended contact, Xiahou Chengyu was crying again.
Miao Yi, who was standing on the railing, fell into silence and slowly closed his eyes. The shadow of Zhan Ruyi was still in his mind.
Yun Zhiqiu appeared lightly in the attic. When Miao Yi was enjoying singing and dancing alone, she heard about it but did not come to disturb her. Later, she heard that Ping had stopped singing and dancing, so she came slowly, walked to the edge and asked: "Is everything going well over there?"
Miao Yi opened his eyes: "It went well, Zhan Ruyi escaped the disaster and didn't die!" His tone was so calm that he didn't carry any emotion. After saying that, he turned around and left without saying much to Yun Zhiqiu, nor did he wait for Yun Zhiqiu's reply. mean.
Yun Zhiqiu turned around, stood quietly and watched, sighed softly, waved his hand, and asked Yang Zhaoqing to follow...
Upon learning that Miao Yi had come in person, Yang Qing and Qing Ju in the yard quickly came out to greet him.
After sitting down in the main hall, they saw Yang Zhaoqing guarding the door. After Yang Qing also signaled Qingju to step back, Fang asked: "Your Majesty, how about Tengfei?"
Miao Yi: "It went well! I have asked Xiahou Chengyu to inform Qingyuan Zun first, saying that he will send someone to secretly assist. Next, the Netherworld Governor's Mansion will have to look at your husband. It's just possible for him to go alone. It will be a bit dangerous, sir, are you sure?"
Yang Qingdao: "If there is any danger, it is because my subordinates have not been prepared in these years. They are asking for it themselves."
Miao Yi waved his hand: "Safety comes first. If something happens to you, it will be exposed, and then there will be no point in letting you go."
Yang Qing said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there shouldn't be any problems. It has been penetrated there over the years, and I know it well."
Miao Yi nodded, "That Wang Dingchao is loyal to Lord Qing. You have to be careful. If he wants to cause trouble, you have to find a way to get rid of him. Remember, only Lord Qing Yuan takes action to get rid of him, can Lord Qing Yuan have no way out. !”
Yang Qing cupped his hands and said, "I understand!" (To be continued.)
