The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 227

[227. Chapter 227 Encounter]

Xiao Yating is actually here. I don’t know how “Northern Xiao” is compared with Tao Weng’s sloppy appearance.

Mu Xiyao motioned to Huilan not to speak out, and listened to the two with her ears pricked up, while not forgetting to enjoy the food with relish. Occasionally listening to the two people next door being funny, he covered his mouth and snickered. With such a loss of style, Hui Lan couldn’t help sighing.

The appearance of the master was clearly made out of shape by His Highness. “His Royal Highness, can Master Wu cross the crossing of the Qinghe River now? It will take more than half a month to reach Zhangtai. I am

afraid that this trip will not be optimistic.”

There are many things that can’t be explained.”

“Forgive me to speak bluntly. I’m afraid that Mr. Wu is too upright and won’t listen to your advice.” The

compartment was silent for a long time, and Zong Zhengming sighed, “If this case fails, we can only keep him safe. .”

Mu Xiyao slowly put the bamboo chopsticks down, with doubts on her brows.

Zhangtai, the case? Did she miss something? It must be no trivial matter to have Zong Zhengming make such a plan.

She closed her eyes and tried to recall, as if a vague memory flashed by, so fast that she couldn’t grasp the clue. It can make an impression on Mu Xiyao, who was confused in the last life, and it can be seen that this matter is already known to everyone.

In the midst of annoyance, his eyes swept across the water mill in the corner inadvertently, Mu Xiyao’s body was shocked, and his eyes widened suddenly.

is it! It was the three-state tax case that should have happened at the beginning of Zhanghe’s fifteenth year and shocked Dawei! At the beginning of this case, it was kicked off from Zhangtai. The whole case was full of twists and turns, and there were countless people who fell out of favor during the period. It was not until a year later that Chen Tingyu, the inspector appointed by Emperor Yuancheng, rushed to Liuzhou.

Nine million taels of silver and money were greedy for ink, but it was finally settled that nearly 30% of the officials of Shengjing Chaotang were involved, and they were suspended and fined. The people directly involved in the case were all copied from the Meridian Gate and exiled from the nine clans. On the bright side, the dust of the case was settled. Only half a month later, the Marquis of Guannei suddenly died suddenly, and Wang Chonghuan, the prince’s grandfather, disarmed and returned to the field. People with discerning eyes can see through the tricks at a glance, and they are all silent, keeping their mouths shut.

It is only because Guannei Hou is now the deceased Yuan Hou, the elder brother of Zhou Hou’s maiden’s family, and the direct mother-in-law of the Prince of Wei. Later, Emperor Yuancheng ordered the prince to enter the Hanlin to compile the “Dian of Wei” and to take back his military power in Shengjing, which also led to the rumors of abolishing the reserve.

In such a major event, Zong Zhengming was actually involved in it? Mu Xiyao’s expression was solemn, and she stroked her forehead in thought.

Except for her, I am afraid that no one can expect that Zhang Tai is involved so deeply. Zong Zhengming is planning now, obviously this matter has not attracted enough attention to him. Not to mention that Bao Wu Anhua is fine, even he himself is in a critical situation.

The people behind Zong Zhenghui in the previous generation set up a bureau, originally wanting to block Zong Zhenglin’s career. It’s a pity that the man saw through, and Zong Zhenghui almost lost his position as prince with a counterattack. And the fifth dynasty took advantage of the situation and made plans to assist Zong Zhengming and the fisherman to benefit.

In this life, Zong Zhenghui turned his head directly on Zong Zhengming. It is because Zong Zhenglin’s background is unpredictable and he does not dare to act rashly. Or do you want to get rid of Zong Zhengming who has teamed up with Zong Zhenglin many times and is also highly valued by Yuan Chengdi?

Mu Xiyao picked up the tea cup and narrowed her eyes slightly. Through the rising mist, I looked at the side of the water mill that was quietly resting in the corner.

Liuzhou, the hometown of water mills, is the Pearl of Hanshui.

It is such a place that a huge wave is about to set off…

Zong Zhengming should not be dragged down by this matter at this time. Although the prince is stupid, the power behind him cannot be underestimated. In addition, Zong Zhenghan’s wolf ambition has never stopped watching.

Zong Zhenglin has not yet been crowned king, and his territorial possessions have no shadow. If Zong Zhengming is abandoned by Yuan Chengdi, the prince and Zong Zhenghan will do their best to attack Zong Zhenglin. At that time, His Highness Sixth Highness will be attacked by the enemy, not to mention the man’s ability, only to say that life will not be too comfortable.

Mu Xiyao’s face became gloomy when she thought that her comfortable days were gone and she had to work hard.

To deal with Zong Zhenglin is to make trouble with her in disguise. Her son will fight for his father in the future, and she also expects that man to be majestic, and thousands of people will bow their heads.

It seems that this matter has to be planned early…

“Hui Lan, get the piano.” The woman in the back house didn’t want to come to the door, so she thought of a way to lure people over.

Today, I took the initiative to find Zong Zhengming for a little bit of transparency, which is worthy of the sisterhood with Mu Xiting before.

If she was right, Zong Zhenglin must have seen something wrong with this at this time, and he should have paid more attention to it. It’s a pity that Zong Zhenglin is scheming, and it’s really hard to see the entanglement of things until that point.

Instead of telling him to listen to him face to face, causing him suspicion, it is better to let Zong Zhengming take the lead, make the situation clear, and tear off that layer of disguise. Taking advantage of the situation later, I believe that His Royal Highness will never fall behind.

Zong Zhengming and Xiao Yeting were secretly worrying about Zhang Tai when they heard the jingling of the Yaoqin on the left, as if it suddenly sounded in their ears. It is not an ancient song inherited by the Great Wei Dynasty, nor is it a famous work by a scholar. The rhythm of this song is tight, and the clanging sounds are endless, as if thousands of troops are galloping. The scene is grand, the soldiers meet each other, and it is only a short paragraph. It is already full of enthusiasm and excitement.

After that, the tune suddenly changed, and compared with the previous high-pitched, it undoubtedly showed a low and tragic appearance. When the last final sound fell, there was silence in the vegetarian fasting, and everyone seemed to be immersed in the picture of a golden horse, unable to return to their senses for a long time.

“His Royal Highness, good song, good song!” Xiao Yeting paced back and forth, only to drag Zong Zhengming to the cubicle to visit. “It’s a pity that Yaoqin is not enough to show the subtlety of this song, but it’s a pity.”

Zong Zheng’s eyes shone brightly, and he got up immediately and pushed the door out.

The three vibrato before were not mistaken. To play such notes on an ordinary Yaoqin, as far as he knows, only one person has this preference and is very capable.

“The old friend is visiting.” Zong Zhengming knocked on the door lightly and waited with his hands behind his back.

When the goal was achieved, Mu Xiyao smiled.

Fifth Highness, it took a lot of effort for my concubine to lead you here. The pipa music has been changed so well, it really is a waste of good things.

“The old friend came to the door, not very happy. Huilan, open the door.”

Xiao Yeting was very curious about the old friend mentioned by His Highness. Now that I suddenly heard that the master in the room replied, I couldn’t help being surprised.

Just now, the decisive and magnificent qin song was actually played by a woman? When he lifted his feet and entered the back room, he saw a woman covered with a veil, sitting upright behind the yaoqin, her fingers lightly folded and slowly twisted, as if having fun, and the same vibrato ran through her fingertips. Knowing this, the person who played the music was none other than the woman in front of him.

“Long time no see, how are you, Your Highness?” Mu Xiyao said with a smile and bowed her knees.

“Of course it’s good. The concubine doesn’t need to be more polite.” Zong Zhengming smiled gently.

“Mr. Xiao’s name is like thunder. If you don’t greet me well, please do it yourself.” Mu Xiyao raised her arm lightly, and Huilan immediately brought tea to the two of them.

Xiao Yeting thanked him politely, and after hearing about Mu Xiyao’s identity, it was inconvenient to say more.

After Xiao Yeting said goodbye and left, Zong Zhengming was accommodating.

“Why is the concubine side here alone?”

“Your Highness, why don’t you let it go? The concubine is still thinking about how to escape the punishment of the Sixth Highness.” ”

It seems that the sixth brother should have a headache again.”

On the goose-yellow face towel, Zong Zhengming was slightly in a trance. Yes, since the last time she went back to the racecourse, she was injured.

Fortunately, the clear and bright eyes that were exposed outside have not changed. There was no trace of resentment in the words. Thinking that Zong Zhenglin was not bad for her.

“Why did that song just now?”

She had been invited to play the qin many times before, but Mu Xiyao’s excuses prevented her from going back. Now that there are many outsiders, she is uncharacteristically generous. If there is no reason, Zong Zhengming will not believe it.

Really smart.

“But it’s for His Highness, and it’s also for the concubine.” Mu Xiyao didn’t hide it, and said it without any hesitation.

“Hui Lan, waiting outside the door.” This was the first time that Mu Xiyao didn’t care about men’s and women’s defense, and screened out irrelevant people.

Zong Zhengming’s eyes narrowed, and his face was cautious. As shrewd as she is, if the matter is not important, she will never be alone in a room with him and put it into practice.

“That song just now, its name is “House of Flying Daggers”.” It

seemed like an inexplicable sentence, but Zong Zhengming got away from the backrest and sat up slowly. The usual gentleness and elegance no longer exist. Just staring straight at Mu Xiyao for a long time, until she really read the seriousness in her eyes, she finally confirmed that Mu Xiyao was definitely not joking.

Huilan was restless outside the door. It has been an hour and a half since he was kicked out by the master. Dare to put his ear to the door, but couldn’t detect the slightest movement.

In this way, the master and the Fifth Highness were left alone, and Huilan felt that things were getting worse. His Highness said yesterday that he would go to the courtyard today. If it’s too late, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When I was worried and thought about it, I heard the master raise his voice to call people. Turning around, he happened to meet the Fifth Highness who pushed the door first, and Hui Lan hurriedly saluted to avoid it.

“This hall arranges the frame first, and the side concubine is ready, and it will not be too late to come down.”

“Don’t bother Your Highness, the concubine will go back on her own.”

“It’s not safe.” Xi Yao was stunned on the spot.

Where is it not safe? If you send your concubine back like this, the concubine is even more unsafe! As expected, royal men are all bad tempered, and the problem of not listening to people’s words is in the same line.

Mu Xiyao took Hui Lan downstairs slowly, seeing that the last step was the hall, and when she raised her head, she saw someone coming towards her.

unlucky! I don’t know what kind of fortune to take today, but here I meet the person who annoys her the most. Fortunately, I was covered with a face towel, so I just don’t know what to do.

Looking back at Ji Express, she gave Huilan a wink, and without looking sideways, she just walked past the prince.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard Huilan’s exclamation from behind. Mu Xiyao turned around abruptly, but saw that the Crown Prince blocked Huilan’s way with one hand, snatched the cloak from her hand, and took a deep breath from her nose.

Careless! Mu Xiyao’s eyes shrank, and she quickly thought about a plan to escape.

“Who are you? When I saw Gu Jing, I had no respect, and I didn’t even ask for peace?” The prince’s eyes locked tightly on Mu Xiyao, and he shook the cloak from his hand. “The imperial gift of fur in the palace, let Gu think about it, but who has such an unruly woman.” The

question was stern, but a pair of eyes swept back and forth on Mu Xiyao. Among them, her lustful thoughts were so obvious that she felt nauseated in her heart.

“It was the second brother who was here.” Zong Zhengming’s voice was mellow, and he nodded politely with the prince.

Mu Xiyao’s eyes suddenly lit up, getting rid of this person, for fear that it would be used by Zong Zhengming.

“His Royal Highness.” Turning around, his voice was clear and gentle, completely different from the usual squeamishness and sweetness. “Let the concubine wait.”

Zong Zhengming’s face was warm and his attitude was romantic, and he walked a few steps and came to her.

This girl, in order to get rid of the prince, even counted him. Anyway, I came here to find her, so it would be good to take people away.
