Because the Qin family gave a gag order, the Zhou family naturally couldn't inquire about anything. The "truth" that the subordinates of the Zhou family followed Zhou Qionghua to Beijing said made it difficult for the mother and son of the Zhou family to believe it.

That night, Li Xiran told Zhou Zhenqi what Zhou Qionghua had done in Beijing, picking what he could say. Zhou Zhenqi still couldn't believe it, "Uncle, my sister is most afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants, how can she raise scorpions to harm people!" ”

Li Xiran also sighed, "This matter is also incomprehensible. If it weren't for the poisonous scorpion falling out of Qionghua's sleeve, and she admitted it herself, it would be hard to believe her true appearance. ”

Zhou Zhenqi and Li Xiran talked in the room for half an hour, and when they came out again, their mood had calmed down.

On the third day, the Zhou family returned to their hometown with Zhou Qionghua's body. As for what they agreed, Xiao Nuan soon knew: Zhou Qionghua's brother Zhou Zhenqi was transferred to the Ministry of Rites in Beijing because of his "outstanding political achievements"; Zhou Qionghua's sister Zhou Qiongxuan replaced Zhou Qionghua's quota and entered King Yi's mansion as King Yi's concubine.

This kind of thing is common in Da Zhou, but Xiao Nuan feels unusually uncomfortable. Qin sighed, "The sons and daughters of the Gonghou Shiqing family, although they come to stretch out their hands and eat to open their mouths, everything is not smooth. They also have responsibilities that they must fulfill. The man must hold up the door and keep the family alive; Daughters should also help the family prosper through marriage. ”

Xiao Nuan paused, "This is what Old Madam Li told you again?" ”

The Qin clan shook his head and continued, "This is what Mrs. Yiji Hou said, through marriage, there are inextricable links between the Wang clans in Beijing. These people, with the civilian officials who were born in school and the military generals who started their lives on military merits, form three forces that are incompatible, and each does not give in to each other. ”

Xiaocao immediately said, "Yijihou is a marquis by virtue of military merits, Uncle Li is recruited by his father's shadow, and Youxiang started by studying, so they are incompatible." ”

Xiao Nuan rubbed her sister's head, "It's not just that water and fire are incompatible, they will cooperate under certain circumstances, but they will fight to the death for some things, which is the same reason for us to do business." ”

Xiaocao nodded as if she didn't understand, "Sister, I made an appointment with An Ge to taste poetry together, are you going?" ”

Poetry? It's not as interesting as looking at the ledger. Xiao Nuan immediately shook her head, "You guys go play." ”

Qin Shi looked at the girl's bouncing appearance, and said in a low voice, "She looks like this, she should have put Yuantong down." ”

"I hope so." Xiao Nuan replied, this morning the third master also asked her if Yuantong could come back in the near future.

Xiao Nuan replied that he couldn't, but he didn't know why the third master asked about Yuantong, could it be that there was movement on He Qing's side again?

From Cining Palace to the Queen Mother, the third master invited King Yi to Tianzhang Pavilion for tea. King Yi is now on the errand of the military department, and this matter is at the time of the autumn harvest of grain, and the burden of urging the military rations is extremely heavy, and he is too busy to keep his feet on the ground.

However, the third brother invited him to eat tea, it must not be as simple as just eating tea, so he followed.

Tianzhang Pavilion is an important place, and there is no eunuch on the second floor, so it is most convenient to speak. The third master whispered to the second brother, "The second brother checked the black shadow in the palace that injured the emperor's grandmother, is there a whereabouts?" ”

"There is no progress, what news has the third brother got?" King Yi didn't know why the third brother mentioned this matter. The imperial grandmother has been injured for more than a month, but the black shadow that injured her has no clue. Even King Yi had to believe that the black shadow was the imperial grandmother's dazzle, or that the cat in the palace ran into Cining Palace and disturbed the imperial grandmother.

The third master listened carefully, and only after confirming that there was no one did he whisper again, "Although there is no evidence, I think that black shadow should be the master of Chai Yanting." ”

The third master didn't mention Jin Yanting's name, but just said that he heard that there was a master of martial arts on Chai Yanting's side, and he was short, etc., "Second brother, just imagine, if this black shadow is really Chai Yanting's person, where will he enter Cining Palace?" ”

King Yi and the third master looked at each other for a long time, countless possibilities flashed in their minds, and their voices were inaudible, "The will of the emperor in the rumors? ”

The third master nodded slightly.

When the Emperor Taishang was seriously ill, there was only the Queen Mother by his side when he was dying. It was the Queen Mother who passed on the Emperor's dictation and passed the throne to Emperor Jianlong. With the assistance of Li Xiran, Ning Liangyong and others, Emperor Jianlong succeeded to the throne smoothly, but there were rumors in Beijing at that time, saying that **** left a will to pass on the throne to the Qing king, and the Qing king is the orthodox Yunyun.

This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Jianlong was in a hurry to clean up the Qing King after he ascended the throne.

King Yi set off a big wave in his heart, leaned over and almost met the head of the third brother, and asked in a low voice, "Is there really a will?" ”

The third master shook his head, "After the death of the imperial grandmother, this matter will be even more unclear." If someone has to say yes, who can tell the truth from the false? ”

Yi Wang gasped.

If it is really as the third brother said, when Chai Yanting's old department entered the palace in order to steal the will, then after the emperor's grandmother was funeral, there will be someone who will hold high the will of the emperor, do the teacher of justice, crusade against the current saint, and return the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou.

And this person must be the orphan of the Qing king, Chai Yanting is dead, and the Qing king is orphaned......

Yi Wang's face was solemn, "Yuantong? ”

The third master shook his head slightly, "Although Yuantong is nowhere to be found, the junior brother is sure that he must not be in the hands of Chai Yanting's old department." ”

King Yi's brows stretched slightly, "What is the third brother going to do about this?" ”

Do you want to tell your father? Yi Wang instinctively didn't want to.

The third master shook his head, "This matter is just Sheng's inference, and I can only tell the second brother about it, and the second brother had better be prepared, just in case." ”

King Yi's heart suddenly lit up, he suppressed the excitement gushing in his heart, held the third brother's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Third brother, there is a sentence that the second brother doesn't know whether to ask or not." ”

The third master looked at the second brother calmly, "I and the second brother will see each other." ”

King Yi's voice was slightly tight, "If Mobei is in chaos, Wu Yu and Youjin Wuwei, can I listen to your dispatch?" ”

The third master nodded, and said with great certainty, "Youjin Wuwei is bleeding the blood of the Wu family, and the Wu family will never be a traitor." All Wu Yu wants is to return to the Wu family in the name of justice. ”

King Yi couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, solemnly clenched the third brother's hand, and made a promise, "What Wu Yu asks is reasonable." ”

After the second brother left, the third master ate tea alone on the second floor. He didn't plan to tell the second brother about this matter, but secretly arranged with Wu Yu and took advantage of the chaos to bring Mobei into the Wu family's pocket.

But in order to warm the fetus in the womb, the third master changed his mind. Although the second brother was born in the main palace, Emperor Jianlong was jealous of him and did not let him interfere in military affairs, and the princess he married was also the daughter of a civil official, so the second brother had no prestige in the army.

What would happen if the second brother got the military power? From his excitement that could not be concealed, the third master already knew it.

In addition to the second brother, there are also a few people who also have to give them some hope and let them move, so that they can pull Emperor Jianlong off the dragon chair within a few months!

The third master clenched the teacup and heard heavy footsteps coming from the stairs.

Lu Zhengqi went up to the second floor with a large stack of official documents, and said with a weak heart, "Lord, Zhengqi has an urgent matter to go to Dali Temple, look at these official documents......"

The third master curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Take it." ”

King Sheng actually smiled, King Sheng actually smiled at him, his smile was so terrible......

Lu Zhengqi's hand shook, and the official documents were sprinkled all over the stairs.

This time, just sorting out these scattered official documents will take him an hour's effort, and Lu Zhengqi wants to cry without tears. King Sheng smiled and asked for his life, and it was true.

The third master glanced at Lu Zhengqi, who was as stunned as a wooden chicken, and said very kindly, "What's the matter with going to Dali Temple, this king will go for you." ”
