Xilan thought the other party was going to do ridiculous things in the study, but she didn't expect that she just hugged her and kissed her a few times, and took a few steps back and asked her to give lunch in the kitchen to the study, and gave Gu Qingcheng a table exactly the same.

At noon, the food was put on. After the servant left, Yan Qingci invited Xilan to eat with him.

Xilan hasn't eaten such delicious food for a long time. Since she left the palace, she has been wandering all the way. After being sold into the Marquis' Mansion, she has eaten lightly all day long. The monthly money of the lower-class servants is too short of money to buy clothes and miscellaneous items, let alone buy meat dishes with it.

Occasionally, the Hou Mansion holds a banquet and is fortunate to taste the unfinished dishes of the guests.

The memory of eating exquisite dishes alone like this can be traced back seven years ago.

I don't know how old you are.

Seventeenth, September 23rd birthday.

He is one year older than me. I am the birthday of October 9th. So, I have to call you sister.

There is no need to.

Twelve hours a day, Xilan looked expressionless for eleven hours, which made Yan Qingci even more curious about what extent of things could make her expression a little moved.

The sophistry between Suhe and Wenren was just a stone of questioning. Whether Wenren could win the argument was insignificant. As soon as the objection of the hen Sichen was released, Suhe's goal was achieved. The people of Beiyuan were dissatisfied, and several vassal kings were eyeing him. It would be a matter of time before the five kings took advantage of this to fight for power.

Xilan lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, and asked her: What preparations should we prepare for the rebels?

Empress Dowager Renxu once said that if you want to fight against foreign countries, you must first settle the country.It can be seen that compared to the unfair rebel army, she was more afraid of the power of the five vassal kings.Empress Dowager Renxu wanted to follow the example of Emperor Wu of Han to implement the order to promote grace to weaken the power of the vassal kings. Unfortunately, the vassal kings were not fools, so they naturally knew her intentions. In addition, the agitation of their respective disciples and advisers, they were very eager to rebel, and only one reasonable thing was left.At present, the sophistry dispute initiated by Prime Minister Su and Chu Yan seemed to be an order. The caravans from all over the world from all over the Yan family sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that the vassal kings from all over the country were recruiting soldiers and looking like they were ready to go.

Yan Qingci said, so all you need to do is just one word, and you must continue to expand your troops during this period.After they were exhausted from killing each other, you had already accumulated your strength and became more prosperous. Then you went to fight against Beiyuan, at least it was equal.

Xilan frowned and thought deeply: How do you ensure that Empress Dowager Renxu will not attack Liuquan Mountain?

Yan Qingci smiled faintly, and it was still so sweet and refreshing. The woman, who was full of books, spread her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth. Finally, she said an extremely innocent sentence: I can't guarantee Ah, but I am good at urging fire.

Hearing this, Xi Lan had already guessed exactly what she was going to do.

……

Their aunt Gu Peiling is now a concubine, but Mo Taijinlie is dead. No matter how he favors Gu Peiling during his lifetime, now that she is dead, the tree falls, she has no reliance in the palace. She wanted to rely on her brothers, but unexpectedly, she received a letter from Feng Family, saying that Gu Peiyuan was captured by King Yan and asked her to think of a way.

But what can she do? When the late emperor was still there, she could still have ideas, but now she is isolated and helpless, so she can only ask Empress Dowager Renxu with a shameless face.

Why did King Yan arrest the Marquis of Chuling?

Empress Dowager Renxu asked lightly on the seat, and the eunuch on both sides answered: When he returned to the empress dowager, the prince of Pingling County died suddenly in the Chu Pavilion. King Yan suspected that the murderer was Chuling Marquis, so he used lynching in anger. At present, the Marquis of Chuling Marquis is still in the dungeon of the royal palace.

Gu Peiling heard this and cried and begged to seek justice for her younger brother.

How could such a big case be convicted at will without verification?

Empress Dowager Renxu blinked a few times and asked the eunuch to immediately order the Yanwang to release Gu Peiyuan, and asked the guards to take witnesses to the court hall for trial.

Gu Peiling's letter arrived at the Chuling Marquis' Mansion one step ahead of Empress Dowager Renxu's will.

Yan Qingci opened it and saw that in order to win over the power, Empress Dowager Renxu really wanted to protect Gu Peiyuan, as expected.Unfortunately, after the imperial court arrived at the dungeon of the royal palace, they could only rescue a corpse.

She added some tonic early in Gu Peiyuan's dinner the day before yesterday. She mixed it with two liang of powder from the heartbreaking herbs and mixed it into the soup and meal. She would get caught in a bite, not to mention Gu Peiyuan, who was hollowed out by the wine.

The heartbroken herb will not be poisoned immediately. It will take several hours of pain and suffering. During this period, the poisoned person vomits, diarrhea and abdominal pain. When the intestines in the body are completely bonded together, it will be the real death period.

Yan Qingci sighed: It's such a pity that I can't see the tragic situation of his death with my own eyes.

Knowing that she was cruel, she didn't expect that she could be so cruel. Her biological father would kill her as soon as she said she could kill her. She didn't swear at her before... Xi Lan sighed in her heart. She guessed that Gu Peiyuanding did not expect that her plan would eventually be in the hands of her own daughter.

You deliberately let him die the same way as your mother.

This is his retribution. If you do evil deeds, you will die. If God doesn’t accept him, I will accept him.Actually, there is no need to be so anxious...

Yan Qingci slowly raised his eyes and smiled without taking it seriously. Who taught him to put his ideas on you? It was him who was urging himself to live and could not blame others.

Xi Lan felt palpitations for a few times, and turned to coldly: You killed people, why did you put me on the cover? I won’t be grateful to you.

You don’t have to be grateful, I just need you to be by my side... When you are for a while, my days will be interesting.

Xilan stared at her suspiciously and asked what it meant.

I finally had a partner who would be happy, and you are not stupid, so some things can be easily understood at all, which can save me a lot of verbal talk.

Is your sister Mu not good?

My and her are like Murata and Dodder. They are trying their best to draw nutrients from each other. Once the nutrients that maintain survival are exhausted, we will disperse.You are different. We both have secrets that cannot be told, and we can reach a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship with each other... I like the feeling of getting along with you, relaxed and unrestrained, and can tell you any plan because I know you won't tell others.

Xilan was speechless for a moment.

At dusk, Gu Peiyuan's body was sent back to the Chuling Marquis' Mansion, and followed by a decree of the marquis.

The eunuch read the order with a sharp voice, squinted his eyes and said with a flattery: I am congratulating Miss Yan San. You are the first female marquis in history. The Empress Dowager personally granted it and awarded it to Your Majesty. There are not many honors in the previous dynasty. Miss San must remember the kindness of the Empress Dowager.

Yan Qingci knelt down and thanked him for receiving the order, and ordered Wenqin and Moyue to bring the prepared gifts.

I saw a man walking out with a plate of wooden support, covered with red silk, Yan Qingci lifted a corner, and the eunuch saw the full golden ingot from it, and his squinting eyes opened.

I was exhausted all the way, and these little gifts were just to welcome my father-in-law.

Two plates of clear and lumps, at least one thousand taels of gold.

The daughter Hou is kind and has a heart of orchid, and she will definitely bring about a source of blessing.

The eunuch who proclaimed the imperial eunuch took it without hesitation and returned happily all the way.

Yan Qingci turned around with the order, and Gu Qinggui blocked her with anger and asked: No matter how hereditary hereditary substitution is, it will not be your turn. To be honest, what methods have you used?!

The decree was given by the Empress Dowager and the Hou Yin was given by the Emperor. If you have any questions, go find them and don’t bother me.

you!

It is a human nature to seek profit and attach importance to power.

No matter how hard Ren Gu Qinggui thought about it, he could not understand this simple truth.

Gu Peiyuan died, and it should be Gu Qingcheng's successor. No matter how bad it is, he is the eldest daughter Gu Qinggui, who was born in the legitimate state. However, in the eyes of Empress Dowager Renxu, these two are not as valuable as Yan Qingci. You should know that behind her is the Yan family, the richest man in the world. Which one is more important, it is obvious to the smart person.

In this way, he won the support of the Chuling Marquis' Mansion and was able to win over the Yan family for his own use, killing two birds with one stone, and adding wings to his tigers.

There are millions of black armored iron cavalry in front, and Yan's family acts as the treasury later. I wish that those who are rebellious should consider whether they have the ability before they are plotting a rebellion.

That night, Yan Qingci repeatedly touched the female jade belt hanging on the mast of the main hall and sat in a python dress in a daze.

Xilan brought a bowl of hot soup, stood quietly behind him and said: Sitting in the middle of the python, this is much more noble than walking on the python costume on the side. It seems that Empress Dowager Renxu values ​​you very much.

Hearing this, the woman came back to her senses, smiled contemptuously, turned around and took the hot soup, lifted the cover and blew it, and said without any fear of praise or disgrace: Where do you value me?It was clearly accustomed to Yan's family.

What to do next?

I took a sip in a hurry, and stuck out my tongue as if I was scalded, and then hented in the cool breeze before he could relieve it.

After the world knows that I am the marquis, the Chuling Marquis Mansion will definitely become the target of public criticism. We only have more and more eyeliners to watch us. All we have to do is as usual. The more we are at the critical moment, the more we must remain calm in the face of changes. Even in front of the servants in the mansion, we must not expose ourselves.

When will you wait?

After one of the two parties can't stand it.

Yan Qingci scooped a spoonful of soup and pressed it to Xilan's lips. It was cold and you wouldn't drink some to warm your body?

Xilan didn't start and said: I won't drink what others have drunk.

Yan Qingci hummed a few times with amused feeling, turned his wrist and put the soup into his mouth. After swallowing it slightly, he tasted it: I can eat saliva, can this soup be so irritating?Why don't I tell the kitchen to make another bowl for you.

Xilan: No need.

Death love is like a cold Buddha statue, and it can't even be covered with heat.

Yan Qingci blurted out a slightly flirtatious southern dialect, coquettish and soft. After staying in Chuling for many years, Xilan was not a local, but she could understand the meaning of her words. The sentence she scolded her was very similar to her wife scolding her husband. Xilan stared at her strangely for a few seconds, not knowing what to reply.

Yan Qingci, who couldn't get a response, felt bored. After drinking three or four sips, he lost his mood. He put the soup back on the tray, stretched out his fingers to scratch Gou Xilan's chin, and smiled: I've always been cold, but Wenqin and Moyue came again. Kui Shui was inconvenient to warm the bed for me. What about you here for them these days?

Xi Lan looked her up and down with that strange look, stopped on her innocent face for a while, and finally lowered her eyebrows calmly and said: OK.

Seeing her agree, she said again: It’s okay to get naked into my bedding. Maybe it’s still a little purple fragrance after it’s warm. I like this smell.
