A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 173 I want to befriend my brother-in-law-to-be

Li Yanhua's clothes were wet.

As soon as Qi Wenyan said this, everyone present looked at her in unison.

Her face was instantly flushed red, and she subconsciously covered her chest to block it, but she remembered something in the confusion, and said loudly; "Cousin, this beanie was given to me by a servant of your house, a ten-year-old Four or five-year-old maidservant, if you call all the maidservants here, I can recognize her. Torture her, as long as you torture her, you will know who ordered her!"

As he spoke, he gave Ye Xunyi another hard look as if showing off.

finally--

I also found the feeling of elation that brought back a round.

When Yun Heng heard this, his complexion became visibly more ugly.

Even, if it wasn't for the fact that there were too many guests present today, and he had always maintained the image of a humble prince, he didn't want to expose his true nature...

Ye Xunyi was convinced that he almost wished he could kill this shallow-sighted cousin with his own hands, so as not to ask her to keep dragging him down!
Because of Yun Heng's details, and the deepest filth in this man's heart...

Only she knows best!

Yun Heng's mother family has no background, his mother had a cousin who was a fifth-rank Beijing official, and he was considered the most powerful among their nine families.

The fifth-rank official was already old at the time, and his abilities had been exhausted. One day, he suddenly didn't want to fight anymore, and just wanted to take a shortcut.

It just so happened that a Beijing official of his level was just enough to go to the palace banquet, and occasionally he would have the chance to bring his family into the palace once or twice.

Yun Heng's biological mother, Li Shi, was originally from an ordinary merchant family.

However, this family is different from the rich and wealthy generations of merchants like the Yang family. They are just street people who occasionally get a chance to make a small fortune and accumulate some moderate family business.

This kind of family doesn't have any background or vision. Although the family's conditions are acceptable, they raise their daughter to be blind and illiterate.

Li Shi was born in such a family, but she was not a direct descendant, but thanks to the beauty of her biological mother who was born as an actress, she was also born extremely beautiful.

Yun Heng's grandfather went to the house of a poor family, and he has always believed in it. Seeing his daughter gradually becoming more and more prominent, he was moved to use her to cling to the rich and powerful, and recorded her in the name of the wife of the main house early on. In order to raise her worth a bit.

Later, when they heard that the old uncle in the capital had sealed the way to find beauties, the Li family also thought it was their chance, and sent their daughter to Beijing without saying a word.

The current Emperor His Majesty is a gentle and respectful person. He does not value women's beauty very much, but pays more attention to women's virtues and talents.

As for this Li Shi, her appearance followed her biological mother's, but her temperament did not. She was quite honest and dull.

Originally, an illiterate and humble person like her should not have had the opportunity to enter the palace to serve the emperor, but at that time it really was her luck——

The Emperor's Empress Yuan married the Emperor for less than two years, but when she gave birth to the eldest prince, she injured her body and could no longer conceive. As a result, the eldest prince was still a congenitally deficient one and couldn't keep it. Having given birth to the second prince, Yun Zheng, the queen is in a hurry to give birth to a child.

Originally, this kind of thing is very common, whether it is in the royal family or in the families of ordinary people with a little bit of status and wealth——

The main wife can't have children, and most of the family chooses a woman of the right age to send to her husband's house. The sisters work together as a husband to consolidate their status together.

In particular, at that time, what the Empress Yuan's family had to guard was the position of the queen who was the lord of the harem!

up for grabs—

It is also the right to inherit the throne of the future lord of the world!

But the empress is not stupid, she is afraid of her natal family, she can't fully trust her, she is worried that if the family sends a girl who can give birth, she will become an outcast of the family after giving birth, So I kept procrastinating and perfunctory my mother's family, looking for a suitable stomach by myself.

Then, the cousin of Yun Heng, the fifth-rank official, recommended himself, took the line of the queen, and presented Yun Heng's biological mother.

The empress is very satisfied with Li Shi, but she is beautiful but has no intentions, and she has no natal background as a backer. She is most at ease with such a person.

The emperor is naturally well aware of this routine operation in the harem.

The queen can't give birth to a son, so in order to stabilize her position, she still wants a son;
Since the emperor didn't want to abolish the queen, it was doomed that he would not have a son.

Therefore, it doesn't matter who the concubine's child comes from, so she obeyed the queen's wishes, favored Yun Heng's biological mother, and gave birth to him.

Later, not long after Yun Heng was born, his biological mother also left.

It was said to the outside world that the loss of having a child was too great, and they were not brought back. As for the real reason——

Then no one will know.

As for him, it was a matter of course that he was raised under the knees of the former empress.

It's just that maybe the former empress was an unlucky person by nature, and Yun Heng died of illness when she was only two years old.

The emperor was lenient to his children and treated them equally.

But he himself would not take care of the child himself, not to mention that Yun Heng was only raised by the former empress, and he was not really a direct bloodline. After the first empress passed away, he was fostered in the palace of Concubine Shu, who had just died of the third prince.

The emperor's original intention was to let the two of them have comfort for each other, but that concubine Shu was a vicious person who only cared about her son who died young, so she often treated her harshly and vented her anger with Yun Heng.

After she married in her previous life, Yun Heng used her to win over Ye Caizhi, and used his childhood experiences to show her off in front of her.
According to what he said, at that time, he was always injured under his fancy clothes, and Concubine Shu would starve him for two or three days if she was not going well.

But that woman's play is very good, and she always sings and composes well in front of the emperor. While pretending to be a kind and good adoptive mother, she threatens him in private not to allow him to go to the emperor to complain.

He was young at that time and had no backing, so how could he dare to resist?
But the emperor was busy with everything, so he couldn't take care of the diet and daily life of each son.

In addition, after the death of his first empress, the post has been vacant for four full years, Concubine Shu has mastered part of the palace affairs herself, so it is natural for her to hide such an idea from her palace.

Later, after Gu Wanwan, the prostitute of the Duke of Pingguo's mansion, entered the palace and became the emperor's successor, it took another two years for her to find out Concubine Shu's evil deeds when she was tidying up the harem.

The time is stuck at this point. When Yun Heng talked about it to her in her previous life, she also mocked her with a vicious and disgusted expression: "Ms. Gu is a vigorous personality with extraordinary methods. I didn’t mention the filth I discovered before, because the time has not yet come. Two years later, when she gave birth to the imperial concubine and her position is stable, she will find the right time to find out that bitch, Concubine Chen Shu, and clean up the harem to make an example. It’s just my own prestige and power. Therefore, even though this king was entrusted to her to get out of the sea of ​​suffering, all I have for her is only hatred!”

Therefore, she even privately thought that Gu Wanwan died at a young age before the emperor, so she had a good death instead.

However, after Concubine Shu's evil deeds were exposed, the emperor did not show favoritism. In a rage, he deposed Concubine Shu's title and sealed her palace, ordering her to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors for the rest of her life.

And Concubine Shu's life——

But it came to an abrupt end when Yunheng moved out of the palace at the age of fourteen and opened his own house on the eve of the government.

Although Yun Heng has never admitted to her face that Concubine Shu's death was his masterpiece, but the more she has been married to him for decades, the more she understands him, the more she can clearly realize that Concubine Shu must have been killed by him. result.

Yun Heng is not a person who is open-minded and does not take revenge!

On the one hand, he held grudges and wished he could not peel off Concubine Shu's skin, and on the other hand, when Concubine Shu's natal family showed favor to him, he acted innocent and harmless, as if he was willing to be their puppet...

When Yun Heng was young, he used the power and contacts of Concubine Shu's family to stabilize his foundation.

In fact, Concubine Shu's natal family had always wanted to send a daughter to him as a concubine to tie him down.

But Yun Heng had a big heart, so he directly showed his cards to those people, saying that he was determined to be the emperor, and he needed more useful contacts to support him for the time being, and those people were also ambitious careerists, so whether it was in the previous life or the present, they were all Actively supporting Yunheng behind and helping him plan to marry her own family, in order to win the support of her prime minister's father.

In this life, Yun Heng is still in the stage of accumulating strength, at least for now, he is still a good ally with Concubine Shu's family going hand in hand.

But she clearly remembered how many bad things Yun Heng had said about that family in her ears in her previous life, and how much resentment he had vented in his heart.

Then--

After he ascended the throne, one was to take down the military power of Ping Guogong immediately, and the other was to wipe out Concubine Shu's entire natal family in a hurry, leaving no one alive among the nine clans.

But under the current situation, it is Yun Heng's adoptive mother's natal family who are very sensible, but his biological mother's idiot cousin Li Yanhua is planning to make him a princess in a whimsical way!

In Yun Heng's heart, he actually hated his biological mother who came from a humble background, but he kept the Li family and gave them great honors all the time, so as to cover up the true darkness and viciousness in his heart, and to create a person who is affectionate to the outside world. Come on!
And these years, he himself has been restraining his nature, forbearance and dormancy to come to this step, how difficult it is?

On the other hand, he is extremely dark and narrow-minded.

Just because he himself is walking on thin ice and living a difficult life, he can't tolerate others lying on his credit book and enjoying the benefits.

In her previous life, she, Ye Xunyi, had been his ox and horse, and had been a pawn all her life. He still despised her for her humble origins. In the eyes of outsiders, the number one beauty in the capital came to replace her.

Yun Heng's inferiority complex is engraved in his bones.

That's why he needed to prove himself to the whole world in such a ridiculous way!

Ye Xunyi never believed that Yun Heng finally robbed Ye Xunhui of her successor salary, it would be because of love for Ye Xunhui.

After more than [-] years of husband and wife, she has already seen through this man——

He doesn't love anyone but himself!

Therefore, the current situation seemed ridiculous to her. Li Yanhua actually wanted to use his cousin's relationship to step on people like Yun Heng to obtain an identity and honor that she was not worthy of at all.

This idiot, I'm afraid he doesn't even know how the word "death" is written!

Ye Xunyi directly avoided her gaze, and curled his lips mockingly.

It's just that she intentionally suppressed this range of motion, and almost no one noticed it.

At this moment, Yun Heng looked at Ye Xunyi's silhouette standing there with a gloomy expression, and wanted to say that Fengfu thoroughly investigated...

Qi Wenyan said again unhurriedly: "If someone really came here with a plan, today there are many charming guests in the palace with maidservants. It is not easy to buy a maidservant in the palace to cooperate with framing the nobles. Bring someone from outside. It is convenient and safe to come in and pretend to be."

He looked at Yun Heng: "This clue is of little value, so you don't need to look it up. If I do this, after this person is used up, I will definitely send her away before the Dongchuang incident happens and the house becomes chaotic. "

Ye Xunyi's calmness that had been maintained in his heart was finally abrupt at this moment, and there was a crack that was broken by someone.

But so what?

No matter how perceptive this man is, he did guess what she was doing——

The girl she used had indeed been sent away long ago without anyone noticing. Could it be that they would seal off the city and search from house to house in order to find such a person?
So, she quickly calmed down again, and didn't even refute.

Qi Wenyan said: "My lord should send someone to investigate the whole house, to see if any of the maidservants have been knocked out or placed under house arrest, or if someone has had a change of clothes in their room stolen."

As for why there is no doubt that the maid who was robbed of her clothes will be killed and silenced...

It's really impossible!

Ye Xunyi's original plan was to force Yunheng to marry Li Yanhua, a trashy snack. If Qin Ying hadn't listened to the corner, and Qi Huan had seen through her plot, everyone would think that the biggest thing here today is, It was just an accident caused by the dispute between the two girls.

Since we can use an accident as an excuse to make a perfect circle, there is no need to kill one more insignificant person and create doubts out of thin air.

Yun Heng gave Ye Xunyi a cold look, and ordered his housekeeper, "Go and investigate."

"Yes!" The housekeeper promised to do it immediately.

Ye Xunyi also ran out of patience, and stared at Qi Wenyan with a gloomy gaze: "Today, there are at least one or two hundred guests in Prince Rui's Mansion. Before the matter is clear, everyone is a suspect, and everyone is a suspect. I'm going back home now, you have no right to stop me, right?"

Qi Wenyan didn't pay any attention to her at all.

He just had a business-like attitude, and ordered Li Yanhua again: "Take off the scarf on the girl, and I will take it back as a witness."

Li Yanhua's face was flushed and she tightly covered her skirt again.

Although she was concerned about Yunheng and only wanted to be Princess Rui, but facing the face of Master Shaoqing in Dali Temple who turned all living beings upside down, listening to his words...

I couldn't help but feel charming, blushing and heartbeating.

Li Yanhua lowered her eyes, blushed and whispered, "Then I'll go to the wing room to change."

"It's here." Qi Wenyan said.

There was a gasping sound in the crowd, and even the young Crown Prince coughed subtly twice, reminding Master Shaoqing of Dali Temple not to be so wild.

Qi Wenyan remained expressionless: "There are some people in the province who argue afterwards that the officer secretly changed the evidence, which is unfair. Although it is a bit embarrassing, in order to prove my innocence, please cooperate with the girl, right here, and give me the clothes."

Li Yanhua's face was still shy and embarrassed, and she didn't know what to do.

Yun Zhan was quick-witted, and immediately said, "Find someone to cover you, and everyone else will turn their backs."

Knowing his father's selfish intentions, he fell in love with the young minister of Dali Temple, and wanted to match him up to be his imperial sister's son-in-law.

Qi Wenyan is twenty-four this year, and is considered an older single.

But his younger sister won't be fifteen until the end of the year...

Although I know that Master Qi is a rare talent, but I always feel that at least in terms of age...

I felt a little wronged by my imperial sister!
This is the first time to observe and handle a case on the spot. Whether this man has the opportunity to become his brother-in-law will not be mentioned. In short, His Royal Highness is really interested, eager to fight, and very enthusiastic.

Yun Heng didn't ask anyone to look for any shelter, and pulled off the cloak.

Li Yanhua's two maidservants raised their cloaks over their heads and spread them out, blocking her from the blind angle of the rockery, while the others turned their backs.

Behind the cloak, Li Yanhua bit the bullet and endured the embarrassment to replace the gown, and put on the two clothes given to her by the maidservant for the time being.

The maid came out with the clothes.

Qi Wenyan didn't reach out to touch it.

On the other side of the crowd, Ye Xunyi, who was about to leave, was sure in his heart that he would not be able to get real evidence to testify against him, but after seeing the other party act so confidently, he could not help but start to become suspicious.

So, no one stopped her, but she froze in her steps, unable to go out.

She looked alert, staring at Qi Wenyan's every word and deed.

Qi Wenyan said: "For the sake of fairness, the three Highnesses and Marquis Wu Cheng should respectively send people to follow, and strike while the iron is hot to examine this evidence."

Ye Xunyi didn't know how this dress could be used as a proof, but it was inevitable that his eyes were full of wariness.

His Royal Highness expressed his curiosity very directly: "This... how to test?"

It was only at this time that Qi Wenyan pointed out something, and cast a cold glance at Ye Xunyi.

For the first time, Ye Xunyi had this sense of urgency that his scalp would tingle at the first glance.

She secretly pinched her cuffs tightly and pursed her lips.

Qi Wenyan said: "According to what I know, some fabrics are not easy to dye, and after barely dyeing, rinsing with water will remove most of the floating color. It was also recorded in folk miscellaneous records that some things mixed with some special dyes can help fix them. Color, and so on, naturally there are some things mixed with dyes, which can make the fabrics that are not easy to be colored achieve a short-term color fixation effect... I am not an expert in this field and dare not make judgments, but taking advantage of the short time since the incident happened, this Take the clothes to the dyeing workshop and ask an experienced craftsman to have a look, and if there is a mystery in it, you can naturally discern it."

Ye Xunyi put a lot of thought into setting up this situation.

She thought she was safe, and even knowing that Qin Ying had come over, she still carried out the plan unscrupulously, relying on her status as the daughter of the Xiangfu, as long as there is no evidence, no one can put this shit Basin pinned it on her head hard.

Therefore, she ignored Qin Song's testimony and Yun Heng's hatred.

But Qi Wenyan's words caught her by surprise.

She pinched her palms fiercely in an instant to prevent herself from having any other more extreme reactions, which directly exposed her guilty conscience and panic.

Then I heard Qi Wenyan continue to say: "Besides, this specially made piece of clothing has extremely fine stitches, and there are always some tiny spots on the edges and corners that cannot be washed by water. If you cut it back, even if there is no color inside There will also be residues of medicinal powder and auxiliary materials. People are alive, and they can talk nonsense with a mouth, but the physical evidence is dead, as long as it is here, no one can deny it!"

Ye Xunyi's own beige has doubts, if it is proved that this dress has indeed been dyed royal blue before, and a special method is used to make it suddenly fade in a short period of time...

Then it can be proved that the testimony of Li Yanhua's master and servant and Qin Ying is Ye Xunyi's intentional provocation, and he made a fuss out of his clothes!

Pushing Li Yanhua, who can't swim, into the water, or it can be interpreted as disputes and competitive spirits among the girls, but she designed Yunheng to have an affair with Li Yanhua, and stretched her hand to design the prince's marriage. ...

If Yun Heng insisted on pursuing it, she and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would have to give a reasonable explanation!

This--

Is it really the benefit of reading more?
When His Royal Highness heard Jun's words, he immediately clapped his palms heavily, forgetting the occasion and getting excited directly.

Thousands of words merged into one sentence, pointing at Qi Wenyan, eyes shining: "Qi Aiqing is very knowledgeable!"

Almost put his arms around Qi Wenyan and worshiped him on the spot!

At this moment, Ye Xunyi was completely panicked.

　His Royal Highness: I suddenly want to ask my brother-in-law-to-be. I call him big brother, and he calls me big brother. We have different opinions...

　　ps: This chapter writes about the grievances between Ye Xunyi and her scumbag ex-husband, please don’t be too annoying, after all, these two are the first female and second male in the original book, and Yun Heng has not been written much before, this is the first time Appeared head-on, and I don't plan to write more about them later, I know the point, our sister Huan's position is stable!
