pear blossoms fall to the end of the night

Zhaohua's eyes were frighteningly bright, she was talking about this point, she didn't expect Chu Qin to be so ignorant, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Then what does Chu Aiqing think?"

Chu Qin glanced at Jingli, then turned his head to Ouyang Yi with a smile, "The minister once went to the Song Mansion on official business, and had several encounters with Song Pin's wife. , I should be able to recognize it."

The corners of Ouyang Yi's mouth curled up, "Master Chu, please come over and carefully identify whether this person is from the Song family back then."

Chu Qin nodded, walked slowly to Nanny Li, looked at Nanny Li calmly, then at Song Quan, stroked his beard, turned to Zhaohua and replied respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this woman The old minister has never seen it."

As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Yi almost dropped the wat board in his hand to the ground. He pointed at Chu Qin and was so angry that he was almost speechless, "Master Chu, do you know what you are talking about?"

Chu Qin looked at Ouyang Yi with a smile and said, "Master Ouyang, let me tell you, I have never seen this woman before!"

Three days ago, Mo Xuan.

"Master Xiang is really arrogant. The old man sent people to post several times, but Master Xiang ignored him. If we hadn't bumped into each other in Moxuan today, it would be an extravagant wish to have a cup of tea with Master Xiang."

Chu Qin poured tea into the cup, and the aroma of the tea lingered in an instant, and the aroma was overwhelming. He gently pushed the cup in front of Jing Li to Jing Li, showing his goodwill very clearly.

Jing Li naturally knew about this, but she just wanted to leave Chu Qin alone, it was a good time to come to Moxuan to drink tea and was bumped into, and she came here when the other party's patience was about to be worn out, she took the teacup with a smile, He put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it a few times, "Master Chu is serious. Jing is just busy with business, so he has neglected Master Chu."

Chu Qin didn't care about it either, and took a sip of tea, "Master Xiang is probably much more relaxed than before, why is he busy with business?"

"Hehe." Jing Li chuckled, "When I'm busy, I have something to do, when I'm free, I always have something to do, but why does Master Chu come to me for tea when he's free?"

Chu Qin sighed, he is over 80, and his body is not as good as before. Although [-] is considered a long life, it is reasonable to say that he is satisfied, but the Chu family seems to be getting more and more prosperous, but there is actually a huge threat. I have planned for the Chu family all my life, and now I can't bear the Chu family to be destroyed. "Master, I came here today to ask for something."

Jing Li raised his eyelids, "Oh?"

Chu Qin stood up from the chair, held his fists and bowed deeply to Jingli, "I beg Jing to save the Chu family."

"Save the Chu family?" Jing Li seemed to have heard something funny, "Master Chu should be very aware of my situation. I am now in dire straits, and I can't protect myself. How can He De talk about saving the Chu family, let alone the Chu family? When it is at its peak, I don’t even need my rescue. It’s just ridiculous.”

Chu Qin stood up and looked at Jing Li, "Master Xiang, you don't need to hide it from me. Master Xiang seems to be ostracized by His Majesty, but he is hiding his clumsiness and guarding against stupidity. Those above will not let go of their grind and kill donkeys, especially you, Master Xiang."

"Oh?"

"Master Xiang, you are a minister, and you are a hero of His Majesty's ascension to the throne. Even if His Majesty is worried that Lord Xiang will overwhelm the Lord and suppress you many times, you will not put Lord Xiang in a position of indifference. For one thing, you can't chill the hearts of all the ministers. Second, Master Xiang is not the kind of person who sits and waits to die. Besides, His Majesty is still young and has not been on the throne for a long time. In the past few years, he has gained a firm foothold in the court by relying on Master Xiang. How can you fight against Master Xiang? .”

Jing Li slowly stroked the teacup with his fingers, and his face still had a smile like a spring breeze, "Master Chu is too famous, Jing is only in his position, looking for things, it's not about fighting or not fighting."

Chu Qin sat back on the chair and picked up the teacup and began to drink tea, "Mr. Xiang is modest, but the old man has never understood that Mr. Xiang is not for power or wealth. Why bother?"

Jing Li is doing his best to Zhao Hua, but Zhao Hua's recent transformation is really surprising, and Jing Li doesn't listen to bewitching at all.

Jing Li did not answer Chu Qin's question.

Chu Qin didn't continue to ask, and talked about the Chu family's affairs to himself, "Although the Chu family has not been prosperous since I took over the family, it can still protect itself in troubled times. Back then, I chose to support the empress's ascension to the throne. It can also be regarded as the result of waiting for the price, why would you ever think that in recent years, the children in the family have become more impetuous, Huairou's entry into the palace seems to be a good thing, but it is actually a poison that hastened the death of the Chu family."

"That child in Huairou has a big change of mind and doesn't listen to discipline. The children in the family rely on this to commit crimes. The Chu family is now a hollow tree. Sooner or later, it will wither and wither. Corruption, selfishness and fraud. The old man has been in power for so many years. He has made no achievements, but he has never done harm to the world, even if he has no merits, he has no faults, but he cannot bear the destruction of the Chu family's wisdom, nor can they bear the severance of the Chu family's line."

"I know that Xiangye has always regarded the Chu family and Ouyang family as thorns in his flesh. At first, I thought that Xiangye was trying to monopolize power until the Yuzhou incident."

Jing Li put the cup back on the table and interrupted Chu Qin, "Master Chu, I think, you have asked the wrong person, no matter how powerful I have, I am afraid I can't protect your Chu family, let alone Master Chu himself Knowing the current situation of the Chu family, how confident is Master Chu that I or the one above will keep a cancer by my side?"

Jing Li continued with a smile: "Master Chu, why don't you seek an alliance with Master Ouyang, take over the Jing family, and then compete for the top. As far as I know, it's not that Chu Huairou's entry into the palace did not fail to give the Chu family substantial help. Ouyang's faction relied There is only one queen mother, but the backer of the Chu family is at least His Majesty, isn't it?"

Seeing that Jing Li wanted to leave, Chu Qin quickly raised his voice and said, "Master Xiang, this old man is really helping Xiangye."

"The Chu family and the Ouyang family are the same threats to me. Even if the Ouyang family is eradicated, I will inevitably be bitten by you. This is one of them. Chao Gang's rectification is imperative. You smelled danger and approached my big tree to write off the Chu family’s past. This is the second. Also, Mr. Chu probably doesn’t understand me. Jing has always been narrow-minded. The last time Princess Rongting murdered me Regarding the matter of Madam, Jing does not intend to let it go, this is the third."

Chu Qin clenched his fists, "I have to let others go around, what do you want, Mr. Xiang?"

Jing Li closed her eyes, and thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind. She was not indifferent to Chu Qin's proposal. At such a moment, one more person would be more helpful. It's just that the Chu family is not kind, at least Chu Huairou is not. What a good person, she can't easily agree to Chu Qin just because of the immediate interests, unless... "Master Chu also knows where the problems of the Chu family are, and there is no way that Master Chu wants to keep the Chu family. It just depends on whether Master Chu is willing or not." Make up your mind."

Jing Li got up from the chair and walked to the door of the box, "It's better to clean up the festering wound earlier, what does Master Chu think?"

……

Chu Qin recalled the conversation with Jing Li three days ago, and he was full of thoughts. He still made a decision. Jing Li was not someone he and Ouyang Yi could offend. Unfortunately, Ouyang Yi couldn't see clearly, so he pretended to go to Ouyang Yi Forming an alliance, and then defecting at the most critical moment, also completely cut off the possibility of the Chu family and Ouyang family forming an alliance again, which can be regarded as a statement for Jing Li.

Jing Li glanced at Chu Qin, and probably understood the other party's choice. She couldn't help feeling that it was rare for the Chu family to find a smart person.

"Master Ouyang, did you hear what Master Chu said clearly?" Zhao Hua asked while sitting on the dragon chair.

Ouyang Yi was so angry that his face was livid, and now that the situation was reversed, he could only take a step back, "Your Majesty, it's been a long time, maybe Master Chu can't remember clearly, and I will definitely be able to make a difference after interrogating this criminal woman." Harvested."

"Enough!" Zhaohua seemed to be angry, "Don't bring up the old things again, don't you want the emperor to be peaceful?"

Ouyang Yi had no choice but to hang his head, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Jing Li sneered and stood up, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Before I dealt with the files of the Ministry of Punishment, I accidentally found a case that was a bit strange. Who knew that after investigating it, I found that it was involved with the ministers of the court. The matter was of great importance. I couldn't deal with it casually, so I had to report it to Your Majesty. ...The people involved in this case are also in the prison, and I implore His Majesty to interrogate them."
