Xiao Ruyan quickly calmed down, and winked at Shen Yue.

Shen Yue is pulling Ban Xia, and she is three zhang away from the two of them, she won't hear their words, but she can watch the wind here and pay attention to the movement outside.

"You already knew." Xiao Ruyan stared at Gu Qingqiu coldly, "You just deliberately waited to see my joke!"

Speaking of this, a sneer appeared on Xiao Ruyan's face, her eyes were like sharp arrows, but Gu Qingqiu smiled faintly.

"I said, it's your own wishful thinking." Gu Qingqiu didn't shy away from her cold eyes, and said lightly, "I've said everything I need to say, and I've reminded you, but you feel that Xie Yan has feelings for you. I don’t want to believe what I’m saying.”

"This plan was also proposed by you. You asked me to lure Gu Ning to come here and witness the relationship between you and Xie Yan with my own eyes, so that she can retreat. It's a pity..."

Gu Qingqiu meant something, the expression in his eyes made Xiao Ruyan's face stiff.

At this moment Xiao Ruyan, the anger in her heart burned instantly, she stared at Gu Qingqiu coldly, countless vicious words came to her lips, but reason made Xiao Ruyan shut her mouth.

She took a deep breath and said coldly, "What's your plan?"

Hearing this, Gu Qingqiu smiled meaningfully: "Miss Xiao has heard my plan, can she really cooperate with me?"

"Don't you just want to deal with Gu Ning?" Xiao Ruyan sneered back, "I can help you."

Before Gu Qingqiu could speak, Xiao Ruyan said again: "You don't have anyone available around you, you can only rely on my people to do things, that's why you came to me."

"But I'll put my ugly words up front. Although I want to deal with Gu Ning, the Pei family behind her is not a vegetarian. If your plan is not thorough, I won't help you."

After all, Xiao Ruyan was the prostitute raised by the Xiao family. After panicking, she immediately regained her senses.

Getting rid of Gu Ning and taking advantage of it is her goal. The Gu Qingqiu in front of her is full of heart, since she also wants to deal with Gu Ning, the method she came up with must be useful.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruyan looked at Gu Qingqiu with slightly narrowed eyes: "I'm a little curious, Gu Ning has no grievances with you, why are you trying to deal with her?"

"Miss Xiao and I are just an ordinary cooperative relationship, and we haven't gotten to this point yet." Gu Qingqiu mercilessly rejected her question, "Since you and I have the same goal, why not take this opportunity to strike earlier."

"how do you want to do it?"

"Destroy her."

Gu Qingqiu opened his mouth lightly, and the killing intent gradually emerged in his eyes.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruyan shuddered behind her back, staring at her closely: "What is your plan?"

"Xie Yanhui fell in love with Gu Ning because of Gu Ning's body and the power of the Pei family." Gu Qingqiu slowly considered, "Without these two things, Gu Ning is a waste."

"Coincidentally..." Gu Qingqiu's eyes shone with a strange light, "I got something by chance a few days ago, which can ruin Gu Ning's appearance."

As she spoke, she took out a jade box from her sleeve.

The clear jade box was almost transparent under the sunlight, Xiao Ruyan could clearly see the shape of the thing inside the jade box.

"This..." Xiao Ruyan's delicate face became distorted, she pushed away Gu Qingqiu's hand in disgust, and exclaimed, "What is this!"

In the jade box, that mass of black thing was wriggling, it was clearly an ugly bug.

Gu Qingqiu smiled, his gentle face showed a bit of ferocity at the moment: "This is the southern border Gu worm!"

Recalling the dangerous situation that day, Gu Qingqiu still felt cold all over his body.

But it just so happened that in that accident, she not only saved a girl, but also got such a good thing from her!

As long as she has this thing in hand, how can Gu Ning be her opponent?

She wants to get rid of Gu Ning's deceptive face first, and let Gu Ning witness the decline of the Pei family with his own eyes!

Xiao Ruyan's face turned pale from fright.

Gu Qingqiu looked at her with disgust, not allowing her to refuse, and directly stuffed the jade box into her hands: "I have a bad relationship with Gu Ning, she won't allow me to get close, but you..."

"I heard that the Xiao family has an old relationship with the Pei family." Gu Qingqiu said with a smile, "You might as well visit the eldest princess more often, and take the opportunity to put Gu worms on Gu Ning!"

"You want me to take risks!" Xiao Ruyan held the jade box, excited and uneasy, and said displeasedly, "Once the incident happens, I will be the first person to be suspected!"

"You are the daughter of the Xiao family, do the Pei family dare to take your life forcibly?" Gu Qingqiu smiled, and in his gentle words, there was a power that could make Xiao Ruyan feel at ease, "Besides, only taking risks , can have a big harvest! If Gu Ning loses that face, your chances will increase."

"Do you want to marry a man old enough to be your grandfather?"

Gu Qingqiu's last words made Xiao Ruyan unable to say no anymore.

After a while, she stuffed the jade box into her sleeve.

"Okay!" She replied straight away, but she did not forget to warn Gu Qingqiu, "If I find out that you have ulterior motives, even if you die, I will hold you back!"

Seeing Xiao Ruyan leave in a flick of his sleeves, the ridicule in Gu Qingqiu's eyes was completely revealed: "Idiot!"

……

In everyone's eyes, Xie Yan took over a sword that was bestowed by the emperor himself. This sword was used by Emperor Taizong at the beginning of the founding of the Chu Kingdom. It is a rare treasure both in terms of its actual value and its implications. .

As the leader of this autumn hunt, Xie Yan received this reward that made many people covetous, but there was still no slight disturbance on his handsome and fair face.

However, the emperor was very satisfied with his calm attitude, and praised him several times one after another, until he praised him like there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth.

Xie Yan came into the attention of many people after the last palace change to rescue him. Now his favor has not disappeared, on the contrary, it is more prosperous than before. In addition, Xie Yan's relationship with the Pei family has attracted many people's attention. The prince wanted to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with him.

He has received a lot of posts after returning to Beijing alone, most of them were sent by people from the First Prince and the Second Prince's faction, the meaning of courtship is self-evident.

Seeing the young sons of the Qin family, Fang family and other families sending more than a dozen invitations to Xie Yan, Chu Yunyi was so angry that his temples throbbed violently.

"Cousin, why haven't you moved yet?" Chu Yunyi's face was not very good-looking, and the tone of Jiang Qian, the eldest son of the Jiang family beside him, became more and more impatient.

Seeing that his two strongest opponents both showed affection to Xie Yan, why would he just sit still and watch a talent like Xie Yan being lured to other camps?

In the assassination a few days ago, everyone could see that Xie Yan cared about Old General Pei. Today, Xie Yan and the Pei family are a whole in the eyes of everyone.

Once you win over Xie Yan, you will definitely be able to take advantage of the trend to bring this huge power of the Pei family under your command!

Chu Yunyi thought that the Pei family was at his fingertips, and he had never deliberately maintained a relationship with the Pei family before, so after breaking off the engagement with Gu Ning, he had no contact with the Pei family.

Jiang Qian's face was also not very good-looking. Faced with Chu Yunyi's urging again and again, his voice was slightly lowered: "Your Highness, you know the emperor's temperament best. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet last time left a deep impression on him. If you try to win over Xie Yan at this time, I'm afraid it will make the emperor even more suspicious, so..."

There is no need for Jiang Qian to elaborate on the rest, as Chu Yunyi knows it well.

But the breath in his heart could not be swallowed. Before the birthday banquet, he was the most hopeful of all the princes to inherit the throne. However, a birthday banquet completely changed his previous layout!

As long as Chu Yunyi thought of this, the resentment in his heart could not be swallowed.

Glancing at his ugly face, Jiang Qian said slowly, "Your Highness, you just need to wait patiently. Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and you still have a lot of time."

"But..." Chu Yunyi hesitated for a moment, and then turned cold again, "I can't just sit and watch them surpass me... The forces of the Pei family must never fall into their hands!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qian suddenly sneered.

His laughter was piercing, and Chu Yunyi could hear it clearly.

"Cousin, you..."

"If Your Highness married the county master honestly, how could there be so many troubles?" Jiang Qian said in a strange way, "However, His Highness fell in love with Miss Gu's family, and became angry with the crown, and offended Pei's family inside and out. .”

Jiang Qian is different from other cousins. Although he is the eldest son of the Jiang family, he has been able to achieve the position of today's Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but he has relied on his true talents to secure his position step by step.

Every eldest son of the aristocratic family devoted all their efforts to nurturing him, and Jiang Qian was the best among them. Therefore, when he faced Chu Yunyi, he never respected Chu Yunyi like other brothers.

Chu Yunyi also knew how important the Jiang family was to him. He could treat Jiang Zhizhou with courtesy even when he was a potbellied Jiang Zhizhou, let alone Jiang Qian who had real talents.

Therefore, facing Jiang Qian's sharp words, his expression only sank for a moment, and then he stopped talking, and he acquiesced to Jiang Qian's words.

No matter what, it was impossible for him to let Gu Qingqiu fall into a helpless situation, let alone that matter... Even if it was catalyzed by aphrodisiac incense, he couldn't help it.

Jiang Qian saw Chu Yunyi's sweet look, and the smile on his face became colder: "Your Highness, it's time to go to the imperial doctor to have a look at your mind! It's just a woman, can it be compared to Jiangshan?"

"Besides..." Jiang Qian looked at Chu Yunyi inexplicably, "Didn't you doubt her? The biggest beneficiary of that incident is Miss Gu whom you miss so much!"

"Cousin!" Chu Yunyi interrupted Jiang Qian displeasedly, "Qingqiu is pure and kind, he can't do such a thing! In my opinion, the Pei family didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore, so they did this. thing!"

Seeing Chu Yunyi's determined face, Jiang Qian was in a bad mood: "Since this is the case, Your Highness will no longer need to contact the Pei family. Why do you want to use the power of the Pei family..."

"I've offended the Pei family, and I'm destined to never be able to get back together with the Pei family." Chu Yunyi's voice suddenly dropped, "But I must not just sit and watch other people get help from the Pei family."

"Cousin, the Pei family is a hidden danger." Chu Yunyi looked at Jiang Qian and said word by word, "Rather than surrendering such a huge power to others, it is better to destroy it!"

When Jiang Qian heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face.

He patted Chu Yunyi's shoulder and comforted him: "Your Highness is very right, but this matter needs to be discussed with grandfather. This is a big deal!"

……

At this time, inside the main tent, the maids and servants were all standing outside the tent with their heads bowed, their faces were full of fear and uneasiness.

Inside the tent, dull voices kept ringing.

The queen's eyes were red, she stared at the emperor firmly, and threw everything on the table to the ground.The ground was covered with a thick layer of felt, and the porcelain fell high, with a dull sound, and there were crooked cracks on the exquisite porcelain.

"What's the emperor's intention?" She gritted her teeth as her chest rose and fell, "Nurse Fang is the closest person to me, how can you take her away?"

"The empress doesn't obey the rules, so naturally she has to find a nun of etiquette to teach her personally, so that you can know your own duty." The emperor sneered, "When will it be your turn to make the decision for the person I like?"

When the queen heard this, she sneered as expected: "The emperor lost his temper today and took away all the people around me, just for this trivial matter?"

"Small matter?" The emperor's pale face flushed red with anger, "That's the person I like! She's my concubine! How dare you execute her! You are so brave!"

The queen changed her usual dignity and laughed out loud.

Her laughter made the people outside the tent lower their heads even lower.

After laughing, tears welled up in the queen's eyes, and she said word by word: "Your Majesty, those old ministers are not dead yet! You are looking for a woman who is almost the same as the Lu family, is it because you want to let everyone in the world Everyone knows, do you never forget your former sister-in-law!"
