Chapter 20: The mechanism is full of people (4)

Xilan was stunned for a long time, her thick eyelashes trembled, and she looked at her with uncertain eyes.

Don't misunderstand, I mean the heart of a subject.

Yan Qingci stood firm, pushed the person away gently, left the rockery, stood outside and turned his back to Xi Lan to tactile his messy skirt. When he turned around, his noble appearance with a pink smile was so engraved into Xi Lan's mind, making her dream of her often tossing and turning because of this smile at midnight, and half a month still couldn't get rid of it.

You want to help me? What conditions?

Xilan knew the other party's temperament of not getting up early without profit.

Although Chuling is second only to the capital, it is a small place compared to Jiuzhou. Since I am greedy for the female marquis, it is better to do it without stopping. If the matter is successful, I want half of your world.

Xilan said she was so angry, why should I believe you?

I asked someone to check the details of your group of rebels. Dong Yuansheng, a pig-killing butcher, is a brave butcher. The father of the silver leopard Zhou Kuang was the deceased Grand Tutor Zhou Dunru. When his father was alive, his father was known as the first counselor of the Mu Dynasty. Zhou Kuang was definitely not bad. It’s a pity that his fists and feet were too poor, and neither of them was enough to stand alone... Only the nine-winged rebel Yan Shuanggui was both wise and brave. His father and mother were the generals of the Mu Dynasty guarding the border when he was alive. He followed his parents to guard the border since he was a child, and he knew the terrain outside the border and the living habits of foreigners. It would be best for him to lead the rebel army to fight with the people of Beiyuan.

In fact, none of these three people could catch my eye, so they had no choice but to draw the general from the short one.There is already someone who chooses the commander, as for how to dismantle the enemy...

A breeze blew by, and Yan Qingci's loose hair was blown onto her cheeks. She pushed it away with her hand, tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing a delicate and slim smile, which depends on whether the Beiyuan royal family members were united.

Xilan was frightened when she saw this and said to herself: Fortunately, this woman is not my opponent. She is so well-informed and well-planned. If this woman is an enemy of me in the future, I will not be sure to win her.

……

In the Sili School Captain's residence, Cao Hong was drunk all day long because his wife was robbed. He was laughing at him for being cowardly and incompetent, and he could swallow his anger even if his wife was robbed.

Even though he was reluctant to leave the palace for a time, he was afraid of seeing his fellow sarcastic expressions.

Bitch!All bitches!

He threw the wine bottle to the ground, and the porcelain pot was split into pieces, and the wine that had not been drunk was everywhere, and the fragrance in the room was everywhere.

Xiū With a sound, someone threw a ball of paper outside the window onto his desk.

who?!

Cao Hong suspected that he was an assassin, so he drew his sword and rushed out of the yard. After watching for a week, where was there any figure?He returned to the house, opened the paper ball and looked at it, and he was completely drunk.

……

A few days later, it was not yet dawn, and Yan Qingci sat upright in the garden and brushed the piano against the stream.

Xilan was awakened by the sound of the piano. When she pushed the door and looked down from the attic, she saw Yan Qingci wearing a water-colored scalded sleeveless cloak, her head was hidden in the brocade hat connected to the cloak. From Xilan's perspective, she could only see her exposed nose bridge and the thick soft fur embedded in the hat.

In the cold world, she sat quietly, like a pure stream monk who was alone outside the world.

However, Xilan knew her nature very well and would never be deceived by her appearance.

Xilan got down to the attic, and Yan Qingci stopped Fuqin's hand with a hint of pleasure in his voice.

At midnight last night, the prince of the Prince of Pingling died tragically on the spring bed of the courtesan of Chuguan, and was stabbed dozens of times before his death.What’s ridiculous is that he was having sex when he was assassinated. After his death, his body and muscles were out of control. When the coroner arrived, he saw turbid liquid mixed with urine leaking all over the bed, which proved the saying that death under the peony flowers is like a ghost.

Xilan felt something was strange: Don’t tell me that this matter has something to do with you.

How could I have the strength to kill someone as a weak woman?Yan Qingci said, I just used my strengths to help Cao Hong give advice.

The paper ball was originally thrown to Cao Hong by someone, and she wrote on it asking him to first ask for orders to be transferred from the capital, and then take the opportunity to sneak back to the city to kill the prince of Pingling County. In this way, he lost evidence of his presence. Even though he had resentment with the prince of Pingling County and everyone knew about his departure from the capital, he naturally ruled out the suspicion.

Xilan said: What if someone else thinks he bought a murderer?

So I found a more suspicious scapegoat Ah.

As Yan Qingci finished speaking, a loud tremor sounded when the front yard door sounded, as if it was smashed open by a group of people.

I will surround the Chuling Marquis' Mansion for this king, and no one is allowed to let go!

Gu Peiyuan woke up from his sleep, let go of the beauty in his arms, and hurriedly got down to dress. He called his servant to ask what was wrong outside. He said that King Yan and the King of Pingling County led a team of soldiers to surround the Hou of Chuling, and did not know what the purpose was.

Hu Ji got up from the couch and asked weakly: Master Marquis?

While comforting her, Gu Peiyuan rushed out to check the situation.

After a anxious journey, he finally arrived at the front yard and saw the Yan King wearing a python robe, white hair and white beard standing solemnly. The King of Pingling County, who was in his forties, accompanied him. Seeing Gu Peiyuan appear, he pointed at his nose and cursed: Good, you villain taking advantage of the situation!You give my child back to life!

Gu Peiyuan was confused when he heard this: What's your life? The prince and the prince came to the marquis's mansion early in the morning and even led troops to surround our mansion. What's wrong?

He is still pretending to die at the moment!

The Prince of Pingling ordered the arrest of the people.

The King of Yan asked his son not to be anxious and asked Gu Peiyuan himself: I will ask Mr. Chu Ling, a few questions, you must answer truthfully.

The prince just asks.

Mr. Gu is usually a favorite to have fun in Chu Pavilion?

Gu Peiyuan was stunned. Although it was harmful to his face, he answered truthfully: So what?

But he often ordered the courtesan to accompany him, and even threatened to take her into the marquis's mansion as a concubine?

Seeing Gu Peiyuan silent, King Yan knew that the rumors were true. He suddenly became furious and blue veins appeared: Because my grandson insulted your daughter first and then stole your Xinyi courtesan. On the surface, you didn't pursue it, but in fact you secretly killed him!The incense of my king’s descendants is broken in your hands. It’s not worth mercy to die ten thousand times!

The prince died?

Gu Peiyuan heard it for a while before he understood, but what does this have to do with me?I have never met him...

The Prince of Pingling shouted: Don’t pretend to be a good person again!You and I have worked together to destroy Mu Chao. I know you very well!To achieve your goal, you can even take action on your own wife, so how can you talk to outsiders!You guys, capture him back and imprison him in the dungeon of the royal palace until he is willing to attack!

The Chuling Marquis' Mansion suddenly suffered a huge change. Seeing Gu Peiyuan being taken away by the soldiers of the Prince of Pingling, Hu Ji and Gu Qingwei present were both panicked, especially Gu Qingwei.

All of this is because Gu Peiyuan said to her before being kidnapped that she must find a way to save him. Miss Gu was immediately in a state of silence. The only thing she could rely on now was this father. When he got the trouble, he asked her to find help?

Fortunately, Gu Peiyuan shouted before he was tied up on the carriage and asked to find your aunt!

Otherwise, if she thought about it herself, she would definitely not be able to remember the life-saving straw in the palace for a while.

listen,

Yan Qingci from the inner courtyard said, "It turns out that he killed my mother."

The noise in the outer courtyard had nothing to do with her. The third lady of the Hou Mansion stood up slowly, hugged the Guqin and returned to the attic. She turned around and asked Xi Lan to ask the kitchen to add one more meal, and she looked very ruthless and ruthless.

After Xilan came back from the kitchen, she saw Wenqin and Moyue serving Yan Qingci, changing her snow-white sable skirt and jacket, wearing a vermilion-like shoulder with a vermilion pattern, and carefully dressed up and went to the front yard. Yu Zhengmen welcomed Gu Qingcheng, who had been rescued from the prince's mansion.

The two of them had breakfast together. During this period, Gu Qinggui came to question her why she ignored her father's life and death. Yan Qingci avoided her sharpness and expressed her pity to others: I am a woman, and the second sister wants me to ask what she wants?

Gu Qinggui said angrily: That shouldn’t be so arbitrary!Look at you, you can still eat!

Instead of being anxious, it is better to do your best to leave your destiny.Didn’t the second sister send someone to the palace to beg for her aunt?We just wait for the result, if even our aunt can't save us...

Isn’t your Yan family still there?Something happened to the son-in-law's mansion, and did Yan's strength not even want to come out?

When Yan Qingci heard this, he still smiled, but Xi Lan smelled a little murderous intent from her expression and tone.

She said: The Yan family is the Yan family, and the Gu family is the Gu family. Since they have never been together, how can they dare to share the same pain with shame?

But Gu Qinggui couldn't hear the profound meaning of it anyway. She just stared at her eyes and scolded her for being ungrateful. In order to ease the relationship between the two, Miss Gu said: They are all sisters, why bother like this? Dad was not rescued, so we started arguing first.

Gu Qingwei: Sister?Who is your sister?I am the legitimate daughter. How can you, a concubine, be worthy of being communicating with my sister?My mother is from a serious family. Your mother who has an affair with a foreign boy is a concubine or a slave. You don’t even deserve to carry shoes for me and my mother!

Gu Qingcheng's biological mother was one of the best actors in Chuling City back then. She looked beautiful and had a delicate voice. She was famous for her soft-tongued pipa lyrics. Gu Peiyuan was attracted by his beauty and bought people into the mansion to sleep every night. Gu Qingcheng was born the first year.

The next year, when the emperor was surrounded by autumn, Gu Peiyuan had to accompany him, so he was reluctant to leave before leaving. He was afraid that Mei Jiao Niang would be inappropriate with others when he was not here, so he lit a gongsha sand on his arm.

Unexpectedly, when Qiuwei returned, Gu Peiyuan was excitedly holding someone to the bed and saw the gongsha on his arm disappearing. He was furious and ignored Gu Qingcheng's biological mother's complaints and asked someone to stuff her into a pig cage according to the rules. Seeing that she was baptized to death, she was relieved and saved her face.

However, it was said that it was an affair, but even the adulterer had never found it. Gu Peiyuan couldn't swallow this breath and thought that it was best to find out that the adulterer was executed together. Unexpectedly, after several investigations, it turned out that the guardian sand was actually a fake thing and would disappear without a trace when it encountered water... Gu Peiyuan knew that he had wronged the woman, but it was too late, so he never mentioned the truth.

If Yan Qingci hadn't investigated curiously, she would never have thought that her father was this animal, and she would not have suspected that she would have investigated her mother's death later.

What if the concubine is born, what if the legitimate child is born?I only know that the herdsmen will pick up the pure pregnancy when they breed livestock.

Yan Qingci hiding his head and asked Gu Qinggui, are you a livestock?

you!

Although Gu Qinggui is also a daughter of the Hou Mansion, he is a fool and he doesn't like to study. He scolds people all because of unreasonable trouble. Seeing that Yan Qingci was not allowed to tell anything, she became angry and said, "You are also a legitimate child, why don't you help her?"!

It’s amazing, why do I let the decent people not help me and help a parasitic lee with only blood in my mind?

Speaking of this, Yan Qingci laughed lightly and said, "I'm raising you." The blood of all living beings is the same in the eyes of leeches. You are different. If you are a leeches, you must be a person who only knows how to absorb the blood of rich and nobles. You don't look down on the blood of civilians.

Yan Qingci!I and you are not finished!

The other party compared her to a leech, and Gu Qinggui could still understand it. She was so angry that she exclaimed a few nearby dishes and left arrogantly.

Third sister, this...

Gu Qingcheng looked at Yan Qingci with some concern.

The eldest sister doesn't have to worry about her.

The latter smiled indifferently, and asked the maids on both sides to pick up a crab paste lion's head with clean chopsticks and put them into her bowl. They said intimately that although this looks like an ordinary lion's head on the outside, it is a modified kitchen recipe. The best wild boar meat is mixed with shrimp meat and chopped into paste, seasoned with nectar of ingredients, and used honey crab paste as the filling. It is salty on the outside and sweet on the inside. A bite of the soup fills the mouth with fragrance.

Gu Qingcheng took a small bite when he heard this. The pork on the outside looked burnt, salty and crispy. Because it was mixed with shrimp meat, it was more powerful than before.

The skin was thin, and the filling of crab paste was bitten in just one bite. The full yellow was squeezed out from the gap, and the soup flowed into half a bowl.

Gu Qingcheng used bamboo chopsticks to put it into the hole and picked out an oily and orange paste, put it into his mouth, and savored it slowly, without any greasiness. It was just very sweet and soft, and it melted in the mouth.

I seem to have tasted the fragrance of flowers?

The eldest sister's tongue is really smart, it is plum blossom honey.

After saying that, Yan Qingci raised his eyebrows and looked at Xi Lan standing beside him with his light. Bees rarely collect honey after winter, and the honey produced by the white plum blossoms is even more difficult to find. I told people to find it for a long time before they got a small jar from the old beekeeper in the mountains.

It's so difficult, so sister shouldn't waste her time on me anymore.

Where did the eldest sister say?Now that you are out of the sea of ​​suffering, if it weren't for your father's detention, I would have to hold a grand banquet for you to tell the world that Cao Hong is not worthy of you, and he is not as good as him.

Thinking of something, Gu Qingcheng's face turned dark and said: Now that I am disgraced, my father has offended them. Could it be that he really killed the prince of Prince Pingling for me?If this is true, the serious crime, even if it does not affect us, the Gu family will still decline without a master... Why did my father do such a reckless thing for me? It is not worth it to bet on the future of the entire Marquis' Mansion.

If you want our dad to do this, the premise is that you must be a male heir.

Yan Qingci focused on Xilan to pour wine for them.

Xilan first filled Gu Qingcheng, and then when Yan Qingci was next to Yan Qingci, the fingers that were holding on the edge of the wine cup touched her fingertips restlessly. Xilan quickly glared at her, fell to her six-minute full and then pulled away. Yan Qingci held the wine glass and took a sip of the fruit wine, with a comfortable expression.

Drinking alcohol early in the morning, isn’t yours?

Gu Qingcheng said earnestly.

The elder sister is like a mother, and Yan Qingci is very obsessed with her words. She stretched out a finger and begged for mercy: Good sister, just have a drink.

This was the first time that Xilan saw Yan Qingci's spoiled behavior as a young daughter, and she was half surprised and glanced at her for a while until the other party looked over and she lowered her head and shifted her gaze.

The yard where Gu Qingcheng lived before his marriage was still cleaned, so Yan Qingci asked her to stay in Gu Yi Building for a while.

After breakfast, Yan Qingci was used to reading the fu theory of famous people for a while and seeing how these virtuous families were worried about it.

Xilan brought a plate of exquisite lotus-style refreshments into her study, and Yan Qingci asked her to sit down and spread a piece of paper fu to read with her.

People in the royal family are already precocious than other children. Although Xilan left the palace at the age of ten, she had already recognized all the characters that should be recognized. However, occasionally there were some remote characters that could not be recognized. After she asked for advice, Yan Qingci patiently answered them one by one.

This is a sophistry made by Suhe and Wenren's disciples, on the topic of "The Hen's Instrument".Suhe's disciples believed that the hen was in the morning and that the morning would be dusk; the person who heard that the person said that the morning was not a male or a female, but a chicken.

Suhe said: Since ancient times, males have been yang and females have yin; roosters control the morning, otherwise the hens control the dusk, so the hens control the morning, and the morning will be dusk.

I heard that male and female are the shape, and the morning is the nature. A bird's nest has no male and female, but the female is the solution to the fatigue. This is the nature of the chicken. Therefore, it is not male and female in the morning, but the chicken is the only one.

Xi Lan looked at it wildly and sneered at the views of these famous masters in the world. She smiled quietly and said: It’s like a child’s quarrel. Are these people who claim to be talented?

If you want to learn sophistry well, you will be unreasonable.

Yan Qingci carefully analyzed the profound meaning for her. On the surface, you seem to be a debate topic, but in fact they are just lobbying for their own interests. Isn’t the hen Sichen the Queen Mother Ren Xu who is indifferent to the court who ruled the country from behind?

After hearing this, Xilan looked at the comments on the paper again, and after a moment, he raised his eyes and asked the person opposite: Which side do you agree with?

Yan Qingci said seriously: From the perspective of theory, the two sides are equal, but I also have the ambition of Si Chen, and this time I must be on the side of Wenren.

After hearing that she had Si Chen's ambition, Xi Lan stared at the man deeply, looked down a few times to debate, and asked her: Have you joined them?

Yan Qingci shook his head lightly, stretched his fingers forward and hooked the inkstone, took out the ink strips, and placed them in front of the desk. Will it be polished?

she asked.

Xilan shook her head.

I'll teach you.

Yan Qingci added a little clear water to the inkstone. She asked Xilan to sit on the square stool in the corner, and pressed her from behind, holding her left hand with her left hand and her right hand with her right hand, controlling Xilan to slowly move.

The speed should be even and don’t use too much force, otherwise the ink you emit will not look good to write.

Xilan only felt that there was heat blowing in her ears, which made her very distracted.In order not to let herself think about it, she deliberately found some topics: How did you get Cao Hong to agree to divorce?

Yan Qingci chuckled in her ear: This is not simple, he doesn't agree, so I will shake off the fact that he is the real murderer. In this way, anyone else will agree?

Xilan said oh and then disappeared.

Yan Qingci leaned closer and asked in her ear like muttering: Does it look like it?

Xilan was about to ask what he was like, but the other party answered first.

Does it look like it, when we do that?

She deliberately held the ink strips in her hand and rubbed them around and circled in the inkstone.

It's also so close.

After her intentional induction, Xi Lan suddenly recalled the shameful postures she had with her before. She shook the other party's hand away, and the long black strip of ink was bounced on the ground in the distance, one and two halves.

rash!

Xilan scolded her like this.

After all, he is a slave to the country, and even the words of cursing are slapstick.

Yan Qingci deceived her body and picked up a strand of hair scattered on her chest and curled it. How can people like you deal with those cunning people who are scattered in the world?
