Green tea sick beauty after whitening

In the early morning of the second day, Lu Yan, Lu Xu and others were taken back to the palace from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Except for one Lu Yang who could no longer go home, all the Lu family members who had a banquet at the prime minister's mansion gathered together.

At the banquet at that time, they were still drinking wine and enjoying the spring breeze. After a few days, they came back disheveled.

Thinking about the whole thing again, it seems unreal.

Qu Chang negative's family background is Gao, but in this battle with the Changding Palace, he did not ask for help from the Qu family and the Song family.

When he took office as a new official, he dared to directly attack the long-standing malpractice of the military camp.

First solve the case of Chen Ying, then deal with Cao Tan and involve the Lu family.In the end, several princes with different positions were even gathered together, causing Lu Yang to be convicted and the palace to be blamed.

It made the entire Lu family feel ashamed, and there is nothing they can do about him right now.

The whole palace actually wants to compete with such a fledgling kid, and he is always at a disadvantage. This is simply...horrifying and absurd.

Who is behind him?What the hell is he trying to do?

When Lu Yan returned to the mansion, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but he kept a stern face and refused to say what was going on, which made Princess Changding feel very distressed.

At this moment, Lu Yan let the maid take the medicine, and said with a gloomy expression: "This loss must not be taken in vain. He has already set his sights on it. If we don't completely mess up Qu Changcheng, our family will have endless troubles." !"

King Changding knew that he had a bad temper and had suffered an unprecedented setback, so he warned: "Be more honest, think about Qu Chang's ability, and don't act recklessly again!"

"What does Concubine Li say?"

He turned around and asked Princess Changding: "Yan'er said that at that time the crown prince asked Donggong Weiwei to send them to the Ministry of Punishment, so there should be follow-up arrangements. Yang'er is still in prison, how to deal with this matter, Has His Highness the Crown Prince not explained?"

Princess Changding said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, do you think that this concubine is not dedicated? Although Lu Yang is not my own, but I also watched him grow up, how could he be interested? It is true that even the empress is not very good now. I understand what the prince is thinking, but I only said that after he recovered from his illness recently, he has been living in another hospital."

King Changding said: "The concubine is overthinking."

He sighed a long time: "At this point, the only thing we can do is go to the Prince's place again."

The process of seeing the prince went smoothly, but what disturbed King Changding was that Qi Hui's attitude towards them could be called indifferent, and he never mentioned the matter of military pay.

The two sides debated for a few words, talking about trivial and insignificant matters. Lu Yan was listening, and couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Your Highness."

Qi Hui said lightly: "What?"

Lu Yan glanced at King Changding, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Highness must be able to guess my intentions, so I will speak bluntly."

"Prime Minister Qu's son, Qu Changlu, first accused the Lu family of colluding with Cao Tan in front of His Majesty, reselling military salaries, and then set up a frame at the banquet. His methods were cunning, bold and cruel. This person can't stay, and I hope His Highness will help him .”

Qi Hui nodded lightly, and said: "Gu Ye has seen everything. Gu Ye just wanted to ask you guys, selling military salaries, assassinating King Wei, did the Lu family do these things, or didn't they?"

This sentence caught them all at once, and after a while, King Changding said: "Your Highness, the ups and downs of the officialdom are beyond your control, and anyone will inevitably use some means..."

"Really?" Qi Hui sneered, "It seems that this is an admission. In this case, what Qu Changlu did was to be loyal to the king and act impartially. You let Gu deal with him, which is to persecute him. Did Gu frame Zhongliang?"

These words were extremely serious, King Changding couldn't sit still in shock, he quickly stood up and said: "Your Highness, I can't bear such words!"

He paused, because the evidence that Qu Changlu found out was all facts and irrefutable.

Things have come to this point, Qi Hui is not a fool, the only way is to speak clearly.

King Changding said: "His Royal Highness, let me say something presumptuous. According to seniority, I am your uncle. I will definitely stand on the same side with Your Highness and fully support any matter."

While talking, he sneaked a look at Qi Hui's expression, but he saw Qi Hui leaning on the back of the chair, propping his forehead with one hand, and turning the wrench on his thumb with the other on his knee, but his expression was dim, as if he was meditating.

King Changding continued: "This time, I have deeply introspected. It was the Lu family who made a mistake. I will try my best to make up for it in the future, and I will never do it again."

He ran out of words, and then changed the subject: "But once Qu Changlu entered the officialdom, he made frequent moves, disregarding the relationship between Qulu and Lu's family, and he didn't know who was behind the instigation. It was obviously aimed at us, and even more so. What's more, his target is very likely to be Your Highness!"

Qi Hui smiled wryly. He hoped that Qu Changshou was targeting him, but unfortunately, the other party in this life did not see himself at all.

The trance is still the time when they walked with each other, and he never wanted to see each other but couldn't see each other.

Although he is the crown prince of the East Palace, he knows too well that his father is not the most doting and trusting of him.

The court battles, the brothers are constantly plotting, the road ahead seems to be prosperous and beautiful, but in reality it is full of blood and rain.

He was jealous, and he was also jealous of others. He cared about his future, and the more he cared, the more suspicious he became.

At that time too, the Lu family was his firm support, but the conflict with Qu Changnegative was very acute. During a conflict between the two sides, Qu Changnegative drew his sword and beheaded Lu Xu on the spot.

After this incident, he said clearly to himself, "What the Lu family can give, I can give His Highness more. But I don't like working with them, I hope His Highness knows."

Qu Changlu has always been willful in his actions, but it is still rare to go against Qi Hui's wishes like this.

Qi Hui was a little annoyed, but more worried that he had a different heart.

He let it go at the time.

A few days later, the two were playing chess in the courtyard. Qi Hui took advantage of Qu Chang's deep thought and asked with a half-truth and half-fake smile:

"Last time... the assassination of Gu was also designed by you to deal with the Lu family, right?"

He remembered that Qu Changlu paused slightly when he heard this question, and then mocked: "Your Highness, it's not worth using this trick to deal with them."

His expression was always indifferent, neither angry nor frightened, after he finished speaking, he pushed the chessboard, stood up and said, "No more, let's go."

After all, he returned to the room without looking back.

He was born to be superior to others, but this person dared to show him face, and he walked away as soon as he said it, he really didn't save any face.

At that time, I only thought it was angry and funny, but I ignored the other party's true mood under the arrogance and madness.

He should know that feeling clearly.

It's like when I was sick for my father back then, waiting for him to wake up without sleep, but the first time my father saw him, he was suspicious and defensive.

In fact, their situations are so similar.

Until now, after knowing Qu Chang's life experience, understanding his sharpness and indifference, and understanding the source of his hostility towards the Lu family, Qi Hui realized that he was so conceited and wronged back then. Outrageous.

Can everything turn around?

he does not know.

But he didn't want to disappoint Qu Changlong anymore.

Qi Hui finally made a decision in his heart, raised his hand to interrupt King Changding, and said, "Needless to say."

Qi Hui said slowly: "Whom Qu Changlu wants to deal with and what he will do in the future is his business. I only know that everything he has done now is not wrong. As a court official, don't think about it." Serving the people and seeking personal gain, I am even more sorry for the soldiers who live on the battlefield."

Prince Changding and his son had imagined that they would be reprimanded by the prince, but they did not expect Qi Hui to be so resolute. Lu Yan asked in shock:

"Your Highness, do you really want to give up on the Lu family? Qu Chang is not the kind of honest and upright person you imagined. He is clearly seeking personal revenge. Look at my face, he is the one who hit me!"

Qi Hui was taken aback, thinking of Qu Changnegative's physical condition, he immediately worried: "Is he all right?"

Lu Yan: "..."

Qi Hui's question immediately reminded him that Qi Hui once lost his composure when he saw Qu Chang negative in the prime minister's mansion.

He blurted out: "Could it be that His Highness is protecting Qu Changcheng because he has taken a fancy to him?"

Qi Hui raised his eyes suddenly, and Li Mang flashed in his eyes: "What did you say?"

With a "bang", he held down the table and stood up: "Up to this point, the two of you have already finished what should be said and what should not be said, so now, let's listen to the lonely story carefully again." mean."

Qi Huisen said coldly: "What is the relationship between Gu and Qu Changcheng? Outsiders are not allowed to speculate. For the Lu family these years, Gu thinks that he has done his best as a relative and takes care of him more, but you and the others don't know how to restrain themselves and act arrogantly." , that being the case, he should bear the consequences on his own.”

His voice was bitterly cold, and he was not angry and majestic: "If you are still entangled here, you will not accept His Majesty's disposition, and you can go to the morning court to avenge yourself. No need to come again in the future, come and see off!"

King Changding and Lu Yan were overwhelmed by the majesty of the crown prince, and for a moment they really didn't dare to say more. After they went out, they still had lingering fears.

King Changding turned to Lu Yan and said: "Are you serious about what you said just now? Between the crown prince and Qu Changnegative... Where does this start?"

Lu Yan has an inexplicable complex emotion towards Qu Zhang, which makes him very sensitive to Qi Hui's abnormal behavior.

He said affirmatively: "I don't know the specifics, but there is definitely a problem between them. Father, have you ever seen the prince act so biased?"

Indeed, the current princes are not very peaceful, and it is absolutely wise to lose the help of the Lu family. Qi Hui, who has always been rational and cold, will not fail to understand this.

"This is simply...it is extremely absurd." King Changding said incredulously, "This matter must be known to Concubine Li."

On Qu Chang's side, the situation has also changed.

—— Qu Xiao, Prime Minister to the Right, finally returned to the capital after several days of business trips.

During the days when he was away from home, Qu Xiao kept hearing that his eldest son, whose condition had just improved, moved frequently, almost turning the world upside down.

Hearing people report Qu Zhang negative's various actions, Qu Xiao was both surprised and wary, and almost felt that he had to get acquainted with the eldest son again.

Regardless of where this kid learned those methods, he was indifferent to everything, and even had little communication with Princess Qingchang, so why did he suddenly deal with the Lu family so intensively?

Did he know something?But it's not like it.

Not long after Qu Xiao returned home, he went directly to visit Qu Chang negative in his yard, and heard that the young master was in the study.

Qu Changcheng was also going to meet Qu Xiao, but he did not expect him to return home early without making a sound.

He saluted, and after the father and son sat down, Qu Chang said: "Father has worked hard all the way, is it going well?"

Qu Xiao sized him up, and said first, "Why has it diminished a little these past few days?"

After finishing speaking, he said again: "Everything is going well for me. How about you? Your health has improved recently. How do you feel when you first entered the officialdom?"

Qu Changlu didn't answer right away, these things he did have actually violated Qufu's position, Qu Xiao obviously intended to test.

——Does he like himself to be more reckless and utilitarian, or more fearful and timid?

Qu Chang negative said slowly: "Father, I like this feeling very much."

He looked directly into Qu Xiao's eyes: "Before lying on the sickbed, I felt like a useless cripple, and I couldn't share my father's worries, but now, many people need me and fawn on me, making me feel that I am living in this world. , it’s somewhat useful.”

Qu Xiao shook his head with a smile: "You, what a child. Do you want to be an official just to be flattered by others? In the officialdom, it is complicated and intertwined with interests. If you take one step, the whole situation will change. You are lucky. I haven't answered yet." When we arrived in the capital, we received several long letters from Prince Changding's residence."

He stared at Qu Changcheng, and said gently: "Lantai, father knows that you don't like the Lu family, and you don't like Qingchang either. But this time, he put Lu Yang to death all at once, and made King Changding lose his power , still a little anxious."

The look in his eyes made Qu Chang negative feel cold all over his body, because what Qu Xiao said was not "too much" or "doing something wrong", but "worrisome".

His father had climbed up to his current position little by little from Qipin county magistrate. He had seen many intrigues and bloody storms in the officialdom, and it was even more difficult to hide some ideas from him.

Qu Chang's methods are so ruthless and quick, in order to try to get rid of the Lu family before the Song family repeats the mistakes of the previous life.

Although it was impossible for Qu Xiao to think of the reason for "rebirth", he saw Qu Chang's "urgency" and was suspicious and probing.

Of course, Qu Chang negative is also testing.

Back then when he was in the chaos army, he was abandoned by Qu Xiao. After two years of exile, he returned to the mansion. His biological mother had already passed away, and Princess Qingchang became the new mistress of the prime minister's mansion.

In the rumors outside, how Princess Qingchang fell in love with Qu Xiao and how she decided to marry him was vividly described, but Qu Changcheng knew that his father was never a man who could be manipulated by others.

He has harbored this question for many years, and he couldn't solve it until his death in his last life.

Sometimes he felt that his hypocrisy, viciousness and indifference probably came from his father, so he never saw through this man.

Qu Chang's heart turned around, and it was only a moment at that time, he raised his eyes and said coldly: "Father just came back, and he didn't even have time to rest, so he kept asking me these questions again and again, just to blame me, shouldn't Deal with the Lu family. But father, have you ever considered my situation?"

Qu Xiao looked at him with probing and scrutinizing eyes: "Lantai, you—"

Qu Chang said negatively: "Ever since Princess Qingchang came to Qu's house, he has always regarded me as a thorn in his side, and he didn't even hide his disgust. It's not that my father didn't understand, but he never ignored me!"

"Is it because my mother is dead that I should just swallow my anger? Lu Yan and others often slander me outside. Father, do you think I shouldn't do anything to them? I have to go to the dignity that others can easily get." Fight, grab!"

When Qu Chang negative said this, he coughed violently until his face was flushed, almost as if he wanted to spit out his lungs.

Qu Xiao handed him a cup of tea, but he didn't care about it, pushed it away casually, and said, "Ahem... When my mother was alive, I still remembered my father's love for me in every possible way. .”

"But now, you have a new wife and other children, but I only have myself! I have to do something so that others can see me, so that I am not a...useless person!"

Probably due to many illnesses, Qu Changlu is thin and frail, his face is pale, and there is a gloomy look between his brows all the year round, he doesn't look like his mother.

But at this time, his emotions were intense and his eyes were stern, which was very similar to the expression of his dead wife when she was wronged and angry.

Qu Xiao thought of Qu Chang's biological mother, Song Wan, and felt pain and melancholy in his heart.

The tea cup pushed away by Qu Changlu just now splashed some calligraphy and paintings on the case, and he casually took it aside.

Originally, he used this action to organize his thoughts subconsciously. He paused, but found that the bottom painting was a naive little tiger.

Qu Xiao couldn't help pulling it out, and said, "You still remember the tiger that Dad drew for you when you were young."

Qu Zhang took the painting back and didn't say anything, but Qu Xiao's doubts and suspicions disappeared for the most part.

To put it bluntly, Qu Changlu was fighting with the Lu family, but in fact he still wanted to fight in front of him and gain his approval.

This kid... Really, what can I say about him.

Qu Changshou has been ill all year round. There are many things he shouldn't know and will not know. Young people are always a little angry. He has indeed suffered a lot of grievances over the years. He acted impulsively and violently, which are all justifiable.

What's more, the son's city mansion is shallower, isn't it what he wants?

Qu Xiao paused in mid-air with his raised hand, and then stroked Qu Changying's hair.

He sighed: "You child has been strong since you were a child. When you were five years old, in order to get a compliment from me, you locked yourself in the study to practice calligraphy. As a result, you caught a cold and grew up. Why did your temper not change?" ..."

Qu Xiao shook his head: "Sometimes it is true that daddy neglects you, but when a person is in this position, he can't help himself. You are my first child and my most beloved child. No one can replace this."

Qu Chang negatively believes that these words may be Qu Xiao's sincere words, but his "most beloved" is only mediocre. What he cares most about is his own power and status.

After Qu Xiao left his study and Qu Chang took him out of Qu Xiao's study, he silently went over the previous conversation between the father and son in his mind, knowing that this time should temporarily dispel Qu Xiao's suspicion.

The other party probably hoped that he would be an idler waiting to die, but as long as Qu Changlu wanted to continue to move forward, he would definitely confront his father again.

—their paths are in conflict.

Qu Xiao has been an official for many years, and he is regarded as a capable minister who is very favored by the emperor. If he wants to escape his oppression, he must also have his own irreplaceable advantages in the court.

Qu Changchen coughed a few times, looked at the messy painting in his hand, coldly curled the corner of his lower lip, and threw it away.
