His Majesty once married me

Ouyang frowned and thought for a while, and finally realized that he had the answer.

——Jade pendant!

If Zhao He came into contact with Emperor Xinghe due to some opportunity, such as the secret room, he would know from Emperor Xinghe that he was going to take the special key that can enter the treasure house in the inner treasury.

Ouyang learned about the royal treasure house from Zhao He.It's just that Zhao He was not the emperor at that time, and he never took him in with him.But since Zhao He was able to put the two jade pendants into the treasury, he had already entered the treasury, and there might be a way to enter without using a key.

If Zhao He really came back to life, followed in Ouyang's footsteps, and went around the treasury, then he would definitely find that the two jade pendants he had stored in the treasury had been taken away.

You know, although the quality of those two jade pendants can be called top-grade, their workmanship is almost the same as the birthday gifts Qi Yunheng received from his two daughters—these two jade pendants were hand-made by Zhao He when he was only the fifth son of the emperor. It was carved. At that time, a total of three pieces were carved, and the materials were all from the same rough stone. Ou Hibiscus, Ou Yan, and Zhao He himself made one piece, expressing the beautiful wish of the three of them being of the same heart and never being separated.

Although the facts have proved that the reason why the wish is beautiful is because it is difficult to realize, but there are so many priceless treasures in the treasure house, except for the three people related to these two jade pendants, who would give up other more valuable treasures and turn to How about taking these three jade pendants of limited value?

But what Ouyang took away was not just the jade pendant at that time. This is probably the reason why Zhao He didn't go to the door to find him directly, but wrote a piece of flower note to test him in a mysterious way——

Zhao He is not sure whether Ouyang is the same as Ouyan back then.

However, if the person who gave him the flower paper is really Zhao He, then what is Zhao He plotting?

- Restoring the country?

There are too few known clues, and Ouyang can't deduce a definite answer. After thinking about it, he soon realized that he could only put aside all kinds of guesses for the time being. When Qi Yunheng left the summer palace tomorrow, he had no time to entangle him. Only then can he discuss carefully with Steward Zhuang.

Hey!

For a moment, Ouyang suddenly had mixed feelings.

Qi Yunheng didn't go back as fast as he said.

After an entire hour, Ouyang had even performed the pranayama to maintain his cultivation several times. He was so bored that he was about to fall asleep, so Qi Yunheng lifted the curtain and returned to the bed.

But it was almost time for dinner, and the previous atmosphere and emotions had been wiped away by time.The two lay on the bed, stared at each other for a while, finally sighed in unison, got up from the bed together, put on their cloaks, and returned to the summer palace through the secret passage.

That night, Qi Yunheng failed to let Ouyang "bite" him a few more mouthfuls, but instead performed some kung fu on Ouyang's body, playing and singing on Ouyang's body.

The next day, when Ouyang woke up, he found that Qi Yunheng had left as usual, so he immediately called Steward Zhuang to him, and told him what he saw in Yongtai Palace yesterday and all his conjectures about it, and asked Steward Zhuang to help him. He considered a countermeasure.

"Master, I don't think this is a big deal." Butler Zhuang said after thinking about it, "The important thing is not what the master wants to do, but what you want to do, master."

Ouyang froze for a moment, then subconsciously asked: "What does this mean, please explain clearly."

"Master, don't forget, there has never been a successful precedent for the restoration of the country since ancient times, and even in other worlds." Zhuang steward explained, "And, even if Emperor Kanglong really intends to do so, what should be done for him?" It is your emperor's wife who is bothering you, not you. What you need to do is actually a choice—to kill, or not to kill?"

As soon as Steward Zhuang's last words came out, Ouyang understood——

He complicates simple things.

For Qi Yunheng, this matter is really complicated.If the former monarch is still alive, he has to worry about his own safety, the stability of the country, and the local turmoil that may be caused by the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the series of impacts of such turmoil on ordinary people.

But for Ouyang, none of the above problems are problems, at least not his problems.

There is only one thing Ouyang needs to consider: if Zhao He is still alive, should he be killed to vent his anger from the past.

Ouyang thought about it seriously for a while, and finally found out with regret that he really didn't want to waste his energy on this matter.

After all, although he has hatred for Zhao He, it is far from hating to the point where Zhao He must pay for his life without me.

Back then, Ouyang just wanted Zhao He not to be the emperor, and never thought of going to the palace to kill someone——Zhao He was also his half-brother-in-law, if he really killed this man, wouldn't his good sister be the one to do it? widow?

Now, time has passed, my sister is long gone, and Ouyang no longer has the obsession with revenge that he had at the beginning, so he is even more lazy to chase this person down.

——Hey, I have lived so happily in this life that even my heart has softened a little!

Ouyang secretly sighed with emotion, but he didn't end the matter at this point, and completely threw it aside.

Zhao He can be put aside for the time being, but the fate of Emperor Xinghe must be determined.

The key to enter the treasury is just Ouyang's reward for doing things for Emperor Xinghe. The reason why he agreed to help Emperor Xinghe to avenge the three families was that Emperor Xinghe would kill himself and not cause trouble for his majesty the emperor. major premise.

If Emperor Xinghe was still alive, Ouyang would not waste time and manpower to avenge him. Even if he wanted to fulfill his promise, he had to kill Emperor Xinghe first!

With a change of mind, Ouyang quickly made up his mind to ask Steward Zhuang to go out of the palace as soon as possible, go back to the mansion to adjust the manpower, and ask Wu Dawuer and the others to stop and collect all the tasks he had assigned before. , as long as you keep an eye on the person, don't make a sudden disappearance, and then set aside manpower and energy to track down the whereabouts of Emperor Xinghe, if you want to see the person, if you want to see the corpse-in short, find this guy first and then Consider other.

"By the way, you should still remember the appearance of Emperor Xinghe, right? Ask Su Su to help draw a portrait of Emperor Xinghe, so that everyone can find out who he is according to the picture, so as not to be caught blind." Ouyang reminded.

Steward Zhuang nodded in agreement, and was about to take the order to go, but Ouyang stopped him again and asked him to stop by Huangzhuang or let Su Su go there, and send a message to Mrs. Qian over there, asking her to Friends wait patiently for a month, and there will be results.

"What's the matter?" Zhuang Butler didn't hear what Madam Qian and Ouyang said that day, so he couldn't help being suspicious.

"Business." Ouyang sighed and explained the matter with Madam Qian.

After hearing what he said, Steward Zhuang suddenly realized, "No wonder you were in a bad mood that day. It turned out to be... okay, I won't talk nonsense, I'll run errands for you!"

Seeing Ouyang's unkind expression, Housekeeper Zhuang smiled and fled.

The matter between Emperor Xinghe and Emperor Kanglong will not come to fruition for a while. Neither Qi Yunheng nor Ouyang will stop living a good life just because the two of them are haunted. After assigning the work, they still eat what they should , sleep when you should sleep, and do what you should do.

The officials and ordinary people in the capital are even more unaware of this matter.What they are concerned about and hotly discussing now is that His Majesty the Emperor suddenly dismissed Wang Ji Wang Taifu and several lecturers from their positions as teachers and expelled them from the palace.

The term expelled from the palace is actually used very imprecisely.

Wang Ji and others have never entered the gate of the palace since they suspended their studies in the palace.When they were dismissed from their duties, His Majesty the Emperor only sent a servant to their mansion to inform them, and the word "expulsion" was not even mentioned.

Even so, this incident caused quite a stir in the literati circle headed by Wang Ji.It's just that most of these people don't have official positions, so no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can't immediately affect the court of Huaguo.

The four princes and princesses in the palace did not have time to worry about these teachers who taught them and punished those around them.

Tomorrow is March [-]th, the day when classes in the palace will resume, and it is also the time to hand in homework.

Those who have completed their homework are worried about whether the answers they write will satisfy their father and emperor, but the eldest princess Qi Yulu, who has been obstructed by her mother and concubine in every possible way and has not yet written a single word, is almost desperate, full of thoughts. It's about how to explain to my father that I failed to complete my homework when I see my father tomorrow.

When the four children were nervous and entangled, Qi Yunheng on the other side had completely forgotten about the homework he left for his children. When he was about to go to bed, he only remembered such a thing after Ouyang reminded him.

"Fortunately, we only arranged for them to meet with the new lecturer tomorrow, and didn't let them go to class directly." Qi Yunheng said happily.

——You are really a father... I can't say it!

Ouyang sighed, but he really couldn't express his complaints.

Qi Yunheng's voice changed, "Chongyan will come with me tomorrow, just to help me see if there is any merit in the homework they handed in."

"Tomorrow..."

Ouyang thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything that he couldn't let him join in the fun, so he nodded in response.

Following this topic, the two chatted about the replacement of the lecturer, and inevitably mentioned Wang Ji, the grandfather of Queen Wang.

That old man is not old at heart, and he only wants to make some achievements in the court, but the sentence "heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper" has become the best portrayal of the first half of his life.

In the previous dynasty, Grand Tutor Yan Yongchang was like an impassable mountain, always pressing on Wang Ji's head.She is the emperor's dignified mentor, and her daughter is an extremely favored imperial concubine. She has no fewer disciples than the Wang family. No matter how hard Wang Ji tried, he couldn't see the possibility of getting ahead, so he resigned in a fit of anger and returned home. Turning his energy to cultivating descendants and disciples was unintentional, and he unconsciously washed away the brand of the former courtiers.

If the Wang family hadn't coveted the Queen's position at the beginning of the founding of the country, Qi Yunheng might have promoted Wang Ji and put him to good use, at least he would have given him a vain job in the Ministry of Rites.

But the Wang family is obviously not satisfied with the road of promotion step by step, and they are delusional about getting twice the result with half the effort and reaching the sky in one step.

Qi Yunheng immediately put away his plan to use Wang Ji, and made the best use of the situation, threw aside the candidate for queen from the Wang family newspaper, and directly named the queen Wang, making the Wang family have to pinch their noses to admit it even if it was as disgusting as swallowing a fly. This result, in turn, has to defend Qi Yunheng against other families who want to seek the queen's position.
