Changqing Ci

Chapter 58 Matchmaking

After the rainstorm, I thought it would be sunny, but it rained for nearly half a month, and Wei Lingci also walked for half a month. From time to time, she wrote back to remind her to pay attention to safety, not to eat or talk to others. From the beginning to the end of the letter paper, the word "no" is the most common.

Xun Changqing was annoyed and ashamed, he treated her like a seven or eight-year-old child, forbidding one or the other, wanting to burn the letter but being reluctant to do so, after much deliberation, she tore a piece of rice paper, wrote six characters and let it go. people to deliver letters.

After Wei Lingci received the letter and opened it, he pursed his lips tightly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, it read: Don't flirt with women.

The speculation of Wei Ling's words became a reality. The concubine Xian Gui quietly ordered people to check the imperial dining room. After careful investigation, they found □□□ in a soup of the emperor. After accumulating too much, people will die suddenly.

After listening to the imperial physician's narration, Xun Changqing felt that this kind of rape was very similar to Shao Tang's death, so he ordered someone to secretly inform Shao Lanheng to go to Zhaoren Palace for a narration.

Concubine Xian Gui was used to these things, and felt that Xun Changqing's unnecessary action would be settled by arresting the person directly, so why bother to do so many times.

Xun Changqing shook his head, these days in the palace have seen the iron-blooded methods of the noble concubine, and there are countless lynchings in the palace, there are inevitably more grievances.But for a high-ranking person, he would definitely not pity the palace servants who are like ants, but this matter is too involved. If the murder of the king is revealed rashly, at most it will be Shao Lanheng's fault, and the real master behind it will not show his feet.

And Shao Lanheng is not a fool, he knows the secrets, and he is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he will not obey his master's orders, and what Xun Caiqing has to do is to put a long line to catch big fish.In his previous life, Shao Lanheng succumbed to his father Shao Cheng's intimidation, did not make much progress, and was still a doctor of imperial studies.

But in this life, he has changed his own destiny, so he will never listen to Shao Cheng again, but she can't tell who is behind him, could it be Xun?Xun Changqing was startled suddenly, and accidentally smashed the teacup, startling Shao Lanheng who was approaching.

She raised her eyes and saw that figure, the elegant and handsome young master, who is still the object of the palace people's love, the little palace people outside Zhaoren Palace whispered to each other, but the person behind the bead curtain was faintly displeased, and told the aunt in charge to go out , Drank off those careless little hooves.

Shao Lanheng has already married a wife, who is also a concubine, but fortunately, his wife knows great gifts and has not disliked his identity, so she has no concubines. In the extravagant imperial capital, any official's children are not just a few concubines, but also everyone In the eyes of the 'good son-in-law'.

Xun Changqing screened everyone away, this is her bedroom, no outsiders will disturb her.She got straight to the point, handed the imperial physician's testimony to Shao Lanheng, and said bluntly: "This kind of seizure is the same as Shao Tang's death. I believe no one knows better than you how Shao Tang died."

Xun Changqing was originally a good-looking girl. When she smiled, she was a docile girl. When she suppressed her smile, she had a bit of royal majesty for no reason. Her eyes were piercing, like a smile but not a smile. This was the first time Shao Lanheng saw her This appearance is very different from the time when he was cheated by him before, but he still told himself in his heart that this is just a girl, otherwise how could he be easily cheated out of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Shao Lanheng glanced at the testimony and said with a smile: "Princess, you think too much. This kind of sex is colorless and tasteless. It is a drug in the palace and has nothing to do with the minister. Besides, the palace is the world of the noble concubine and empress. The minister does not have it." So much patience."

Xun Changqing was playing with the jade pendant on the table, the white jade was flawless, it was a high-quality item, the emperor rewarded her for playing with it, the plaything in the eyes of the emperor was a thing worth a lot of money, and it was worth a lot of silver when it was out of the palace.Greedy eyes appeared in Shao Lanheng's eyes again, which was caught by Xun Changqing. She deliberately wrapped the flower tassels on the jade pendant around her fingertips, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is seriously ill. Right now your Shao family is in a state of power again. Little The imperial dining room palace is not easily bribed."

Shao Lanheng's heart turned cold, and his eyes flickered. Unexpectedly, Xun Changqing still believed that it was him. He felt a little anxious, and said, "Princess, it was not my fault. I am at odds with my father. How could I listen to him?"

Xun Changqing's eyes were shrewd, and she did the most things pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Shao Lanheng could even kill his own brother with poison. If Cheng knows that you killed Shao Tang, you will obediently listen to him."

The cold words pierced Shao Lanheng's heart like a knife's edge, and he felt that his feet were weak for no reason. He knelt down on his knees and begged: "Princess, please forgive me. I was also forced by my father. It was a helpless act."

Looking at Shao Lanheng's pale and horrified face, Xun Changqing sneered in his heart, and his eyes became more sinister and fierce. It was obviously not his style for a shrewd person like Shao Lanheng to plead guilty so quickly. She knocked on the table and said : "The Shao family killed the king, as long as you write down your testimony, it can be considered a crime and meritorious deed. I can ask His Majesty to spare your life."

Shao Lanheng was waiting for this sentence, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Write... I will write..."

There were no palace people in the palace, so Xun Changqing had no choice but to find a pen and ink and put it in front of Shao Lanheng, watching him write down the Shao family's "crimes" with his own eyes. After writing, Xun Changqing took out the paper and glanced at it casually. Let him press his handprint again.

She smiled and threw the jade pendant on the table to him, and said approvingly: "Master Shao is really sensible, I will not send you to the sky prison, I can't startle the snake, you still order people to act according to the usual routine, and help me when you go back Watch your father's actions, and let me know if there is any trouble."

After getting the jade pendant, Shao Lanheng hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, his eyes gradually became bright when he turned around, he clenched the jade pendant tightly in his hand, and quickly left Zhaoren Palace.

A woman walked out from behind the bead curtain. She was over forty years old, and she still had charm, but her brows were more stern, and she said in a ruthless voice: "The Shao family is so bold, why did you let Shao Lanheng go and send him to Just a prison."

Xun Changqing handed her the confession, his eyes changed slightly, and he suggested: "Mother, Changqing is familiar with Shao Lanheng's personality, he would confess so easily, I'm afraid it's not the Shao family behind him. If I let him out, he will also Being hunted down, let's see who wants to kill him, we just need to save him, Chang Qing immediately inform Commander Yuan, let him pay attention to Shao Lanheng."

Concubine Xian looked at her for a moment, then smiled gently, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a clear smile: "Wei Lingci was worried that you would become more troublesome in the palace, but I think she is worrying too much. You are enough to provoke the leader, to say something outrageous, Xun Yi's daughters and sons are strong, and your two older sisters are not as good as you, Xun Yi, this is the only thing better than your majesty."

Hearing this, Xun Changqing's slowly drooping eyelashes cast dark eyeshadows, completely covering up the memories that appeared in her eyes. After living another life, she will finally learn to protect herself. When she raised her head again, it was already a peaceful smile, saying : "Your Majesty praised me, but I'm afraid His Majesty will not be able to pass through the Imperial Dining Room."

Concubine Xian's eyes narrowed, and she smiled slightly, "I know what to do about this matter, so don't worry, I will go to Hanyuan Hall first."

After Concubine Xian left, Zi Jin walked in quickly and said, "My subordinates have sent someone to inform Commander Yuan, and I will follow him all the time, and there is also a letter from Miss Wei."

The first half of the sentence did not arouse Xun Changqing's interest, and the second half was what she thought about day and night. It was three or four days since the last time that she had not received a letter from her. They can be counted clearly, I don't know if she is busy or lazy, after receiving the letter, Xun Changqing's smile condensed on the corner of his mouth, his brows could not be raised, and there were only two words on the letter: I know.

Perfunctory, should be perfunctory with more than a dozen words, but this person only has two words, he knows what it means, knows whether he will flirt outside or knows how to flirt, when he is angry, but also worried, what is the scene at the other end of the letter.

It rained continuously for more than ten days in the imperial capital, but Shangrao was sunny and the sky was clear.

Mu Chen's character is not sloppy at all, and he vigorously and vigorously stirred people into the iron mine. The first thing he did was to liberate the miners who were captured, and let them write a letter jointly, revealing the truth behind the iron mine. bloody.

The miners are all recruited from all over Daqi. They should be cheated. They are deceived by the temptation of huge profits. They say that the work here is easy, and the wages are several times that of other places. They eat well and dress warmly. The family will send silver as travel expenses.

Most of them came from poor backgrounds, relying on their strength and crops for food. They have never seen a big market. When they heard this, they immediately left with their burdens on their backs. When they arrived, they found out that it was a scam. When he was captured, he was beaten to death.

Once intimidated, everyone dared not escape, so they had to mine here day and night.But the food here is not enough to eat, and there are too many people to live. Some people are exhausted, and when they die, they are dragged out and buried.

Mu Chen wrote the story, asked the miners to sign the confession, and sent all the miners home. Now the joint book in his hand is the purpose of several people. As for the account books and the like, they have long been left in the imperial capital. In the Pingnan Palace, just sending the two together to the Emperor's Hanyuan Hall is enough to uproot the Shao family.

Although a lean dead camel is bigger than a horse, a real surviving camel is bigger.No matter how powerful the courtiers and relatives are, they are not as powerful as the emperor.

The emperor has now reached the point where the Shao family must be destroyed. He wanted to leave power for the new emperor Xun Yiran before, but this power has become so large that Xun Yiran cannot be controlled, so he can only be destroyed first.

After returning to Shangrao, the group will definitely live in Weifu.

When Mu Chen first entered the mansion, he was full of dust and dust, his white clothes turned gray, his hair was also stained with dust, and his face couldn't see the original skin color.

Wei Xiao met him many years ago, but after seeing the 'unrecognizable' person, he felt terrified, what does this kid look like?She also thought that Wei Lingci was about the same age as her, and wanted to match the two, but after seeing this image, the thought that had been buried for a long time was completely dispelled.

It's better not to marry for the rest of my life than to marry this person, it's uncomfortable to watch.

But after Mu Chen took a bath and changed into white clothes, the thought that he dismissed half an hour ago reappeared again and took root in his heart. He dismissed Wei Lingci at will, and ordered someone to bring over this year's good tea, and sent a group of people to wait for him. Disperse.

In the luxurious wide hall, Mu Chen sat at the bottom. He liked white clothes more than cleanliness. He slowly picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. Ruyu's complexion became more refined and hazy. Looking at the flowers in the mist, his eyes were as black as ink. More like stars, lighting up the vast and boundless sky.

Wei Xiao had an idea: the more the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the happier she is.

She looked at Mu Chen and said with a smile, "Mr. Mu, I met you many years ago. Have you ever been married? Why don't you bring your wife here for a few days this time?"

There was something in the words, Mu Chen was overjoyed, looked at the empty room, and knew Wei Xiao's intentions, immediately put away his lazy look, sat upright, and respectfully said: "I have never married a wife."

Just as Wei Xiao wanted, she held back her smile, picked up the tea, took a sip, and pretended to be puzzled: "You and brother and sister Ah Ci seem to have been together for more than ten years. I can see the relationship between the two of you. Seems good."

Mu Chen secretly laughed in his heart, and hurriedly followed her words: "Yes, it's been nearly 20 years, and my relationship with Ah Ci...is okay, okay."

He can only say that it is acceptable. Wei Lingci follows the little tail of Xun Changqing every day. He thought that the two masters and apprentices are interested, but who knows that Xun Changqing is a woman, and the two have no possibility of getting married. Now Wei Xiao asks From the beginning, there is such a meaning.

Mu Chen got up and stood in the middle of the flower hall, with a gentle expression and heroic brows, he said softly: "Auntie, I am sincere to Ah Ci, I don't know if I would like to betroth Ah Ci to me, I, Mu Chen, is the only one in this life, and there is no one else. other people."

Wei Xiao was stunned, did Mu Chen say so, it was really unexpected, such a good thing, was what she thought just now, even if she agreed, the two hit it off right away, and when the iron mine issue was resolved, Mu Chen came to propose marriage.

Wei Lingci, who didn't know it, received a letter from Xun Caiqing at this time, and she could see through the envelope that there were several pieces of letter paper inside. She wondered if this girl had recorded everything she did every day, and transferred it to It's written on the letter.

But after opening it, she felt that Xun Changqing must be very free in the palace. The three sheets of paper were filled with ink, and the first page was written with one sentence, six characters: don't flirt.

The second page is still full of writing, four words: careful and headache.

On the third page, still four words: Remember to miss me.

On the three pages rendered in ink, Wei Ling's words were read over and over several times, eager to see some other tricks, but after a while, there were still fourteen words, nothing else to say.

She smiled sadly, feeling nothing but joy in her heart, and wrote back with a few words: she will return to Beijing in a few days, and she will be received from Shili Pavilion.

After writing, he put the letter in the envelope, and wanted someone to send it back to the Imperial Capital.

Before she could call someone in the future, Juju saw her mother standing in the room, her brows filled with joy, she hurriedly pressed the poems and books on one side on top of the letter, all her amazement was concentrated in Shen Shen's eyes, and said lightly: "Mother , why did you come here, is there something wrong?"

The candle wick on the table burst out sparks, Gao Hua flames, Wei Xiao's eyes fell on the desk, walked over slowly, seemingly casually said: "A Ci, what is your relationship with Mu Chen? When I mentioned that I wanted to marry you, I thought that the two of you have been in the same family for many years and must have a deep relationship, so I agreed."
