A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 231 Collaborating with the Enemy (Part [-])
What Yunzheng wanted to pull was originally Ye Caizhi's alliance, but as for Ye Xunhui, it was just a pawn, and a pawn that was used on the surface to deceive others.

She died, and it had no effect on the overall situation at all.

instead--

Now Yun Zheng has lifted Ye Xunyi directly from the status of dowry concubine to side concubine. Firstly, he got rid of Ye Xunhui, the so-called concubine who made him shame. The woman once again demonstrated the sincerity and position of the alliance.

No matter what happens, His Royal Highness Prince Ning is not at a loss.

Regarding matters related to Ye Xunyi, Qi Huan still treated them with extreme caution.

Seeing that she was silent, Gu Zhan thought she had a heart of compassion, sighed and comforted her: "Although using a woman as a pawn is in itself very low, but the eldest daughter of the Ye family is not a good person. , They are dogs eating dogs, you just know these things, you don’t need to think about it.”

Qi Huan's thoughts were interrupted by him, but seeing the serious look in his eyes, he couldn't help laughing: "I don't have that much sympathy yet, although Ye Xunyi's temper is extreme, but if you really want to talk about viciousness...the two sisters might as well Duorang, it's just that one is more subtle and smart, and the other is more stupid."

Ye Xunhui is indeed not a good person, even if she has the sense of superiority of a concubine daughter, looks down on concubine sisters, and even suppresses them to a certain extent——

But in her previous life, she hooked up with her brother-in-law, and the whole family felt at ease and gnawed on the blood buns of the concubine sister.

Qi Huan looked down on Ye Xunyi, and it was never because of Ye Xunyi's revenge on Ye's family, but because of her attitude towards other irrelevant people.

At this time, she was worried, so she asked Gu Zhan again: "I remember you mentioned that His Highness the Crown Prince has an eyeliner in the Prince Ning's Mansion, right? Do you know what Ye Xunyi has been doing recently? She entered the Prince Ning's Mansion after all It was forced, and based on what I know about her, it is absolutely impossible for her to accept her fate and stand in the united front with King Ning, and share the same hatred."

With the name of Prince Ning's concubine or side concubine, Ye Xunyi would definitely not be able to escape if he wanted to.

It's impossible for her to just stay in Prince Ning's mansion and just calm down, taking care of her husband and raising her children.

After Qi Huan finished speaking, Gu Zhan felt a slight unease on his face.

Qi Huan noticed it and raised an eyebrow at him.

Only then did Gu Zhan look away in a somewhat obscure manner and said: "There is indeed a great disharmony between them. It is said that King Ning put her under house arrest on the night of the wedding after forcibly consummating the house, and the two have been hanging out with each other."

Yun Zhan was very well informed about the news, and he couldn't talk to anyone on the street if he had something to say, so usually he didn't care whether Gu Zhan wanted to know or not, any secret news His Royal Highness got would be offered to him to share with him.

The reason why Gu Zhan was embarrassed was because he felt that the intercourse with Qi Huan was a very shameful intercourse, which was not good.

Qi Huan was really taken aback when he heard the words, and then raised his voice in disbelief: "You mean they consummated their marriage?"

Although there was no one around at the moment, the two of them were about to leave the house along the corridor around the big garden, but Gu Zhan was still startled by her, he hurriedly covered her mouth, and dragged her away from under the lantern , standing in a slightly dim light.

"What are you doing?" Qi Huan pushed his hand away displeased.

Gu Zhan's expression was still a little panicked, and he reminded in a low voice: "Slow down, a girl who hasn't left the court talks about these things in private, what if someone overhears it?"

"No..." Qi Huan still couldn't believe it, and raised his eyes to stare at him solemnly: "Is your source of information accurate? Are you sure that Ye Xunyi and King Ning have consummated their marriage?"

This is a female novel that advertises Shuangjie's rebirth and revenge. Yun Zheng is an absolutely impossible hero, but now the heroine Ye Xunyi really slept with another man first, so what's the matter?

Gu Zhan saw that she didn't mean to be half joking, and then slowly realized that her surprise just now was indeed not making fun of herself.

He looked at Qi Huan strangely, and said more puzzled than her: "Whether she is a concubine or a side concubine, Miss Ye San is a woman hired by King Ning to enter the mansion. Isn't it a matter of course for them to consummate the house? "

"Isn't Ye Xunyi unwilling?" Qi Huan insisted on defending the heroine's chastity.

Ye Xunyi, as the heroine of a romance novel, the men who adore her must have a slap if not a dozen, right?There are also some people here who want to be the overlord, such as Yun Zheng and Yun Heng, who have tried to spread a scandal with her before to force her to submit, but these insidious tricks will undoubtedly not be completely shattered by the halo of the heroine. , she can always be used by her anti-customer to frame others...

Qi Huan always thought that even if she was forced to enter Prince Ning's Mansion for the time being, she could still survive by relying on the aura of the protagonist.

How can this be raw rice and mature rice?
Qi Huan's expression was still serious, full of curiosity.

But Gu Zhan began to be dumbfounded: "What are you thinking? Even though King Ning is lustful, she is not the only one, but he is a normal man after all, and the concubine he accepted into the door justifiably... can't be touched? Do you want her to be confessed?" ?"

The truth is this truth...

Qi Huan was still unconvinced from the bottom of his heart: "But that's Ye Xunyi..."

"Ye Xunyi is just a concubine of Ye Caizhi's family." Gu Zhan said, and finally began to look her up and down with a strange look: "Are you taking that woman too seriously? Every time you mention her, you always look It looks like you are facing an enemy."

"No way." Qi Huan immediately denied it.

But she couldn't say that she had opened her eyes on Ye Xunyi, knowing that Ye Xunyi was the key to affecting everyone's fate, right?

These ancient people are so superstitious, why don't they take her to burn?
In order not to let Gu Zhan see more of her flaws, she hurriedly turned her back, softened her tone and said, "I used to watch her act, and thought she was very resourceful and lucky...Since she got into someone else's If we are in the same camp, then we should be careful when sailing for thousands of years, and it is not wrong to treat her with caution."

Gu Zhan stepped forward, put his palm on her shoulder and shook it: "She is a girl, even if she has some means and cleverness, she can't make any big waves."

Just a powerless concubine, Gu Zhan's thinking is just the normal thinking of most people.

Qi Huan was startled suddenly.

She turned around suddenly, grabbed his fingers and reminded him sternly: "Even if he is only blessed by heaven, he is a little more lucky than us... Good luck is also his ability and capital. Gu Zhan, don't blame me It's alarmist, you must listen to me about this matter, you must be cautious when dealing with anything related to Ye Xunyi, and never take it lightly."

Gu Zhan was overwhelmed by her apparent panic and the solemn expression on her face, so she didn't have time to react.

Qi Huan squeezed his hand even harder: "Promise me. I don't care about or ask about anything else about you, but Ye Xunyi...don't be negligent in front of her, this woman's luck is really good. Well, it’s a bit wicked.”

What's more, she can't say, she can only attribute Ye Xunyi's invincibility to her good luck.

As a matter of fact, Ye Xunyi's various actions were indeed smooth to the point of astonishment before Prince Rui's mansion stumbled.

Gu Zhan, a military general who has been trained since childhood, has never been a person who is very ambitious. When he contacted Qi Huan, he thought about it carefully and nodded: "Okay, I will listen to you, and I must be more careful with her."

A smile appeared on the corner of Qi Huan's mouth.

But this smile made her feel powerless like never before.

In order not to make Gu Zhan notice her emotions too clearly, she took another step forward, hugged his waist, and leaned her face against his chest tenderly.

Gu Zhan raised his hand to caress her back.

Qi Huan is not an emotional person, and he is not the kind of person who is very good at coaxing people, so every time she loses her temper, it will make him feel extra difficult and even at a loss what to do.

Fortunately-

Qi Huan didn't intend to play temper with him that day, she hugged him, and after adjusting her mood, she took the initiative to restore a smiling face and sent her out the door.

Gu Zhan naturally remembered what Qi Huan said, so he went to find Yun Zhan alone the next day.

Moreover, he stated the purpose of coming straight to the point: "Ye Caizhi's concubine is a hidden danger no matter how you look at it. Do you have any plans for her? If it's useless, don't keep her sidekick."

Yun Zhan was obviously very surprised, he couldn't help but stopped and looked at him: "You never care about these trivial matters in court, what's going on this time? How did the Ye family recruit you?"

The two of them entered the martial arts arena in the East Palace.

Gu Zhan picked up a longbow from the shelf at hand, aimed at the target and shot two arrows.

He seems to be careless and doesn't use much effort, but the kung fu honed on the battlefield has become an instinct for every shot.

The two arrows hit the bull's-eye one after another, and the bull's-eye fell to the ground after the second arrow hit.

He said: "That woman is too vicious, Qi Huan seems to be frightened by her, and he always worries about gains and losses when talking about her in private."

Yun Zhan was stunned and became very interested. His peach blossom eyes began to glow brightly: "Impossible? That girl is not timid. I think she is not afraid of anything."

Gu Zhan sneered: "Naturally, there is nothing to be afraid of about ordinary trivial matters, but that concubine daughter of the Ye family is too vicious, and the two of them have formed a dispute in front of them. It is better to stop once and for all than to prevent..."

While speaking, he shot another bull's-eye with one arrow.

When he reached out to take the arrow from the quiver, he was stopped by Yun Zhan.

Gu Zhan gave him a questioning look.

Yun Zhan said with a bitter face: "This shooting range was built for me to practice kung fu, so don't tear it down for me."

Gu Zhan was in a bad mood and wanted to vent.

Seeing this, he returned the longbow, followed Yun Zhan to the side of the awning and sat down.

This time, it was Yun Zhan who spoke first after pondering: "I know you want to reassure the girl of the Qi family. The woman surnamed Ye is not a good quarrel, and her hands are not clean. If you want to get rid of her, you just have to lift her up." As soon as he raised his hand, the trial of the fourth child's case was almost over, and the father was still thinking about the relationship between father and son, so he didn't intend to kill him. After a while, when he was released, the woman could still be caught between him and the second child. It’s useful to keep her at this time.”

Gu Zhan looked at him.

Yun Zhan looked very calm.

This is the relationship between him and his brothers, calculating each other, never ending, so there is no way to justify it or even make an allowance for it.

Today, if he doesn't take the initiative to plot against others, he has to worry about it all the time, waiting for others to plot against him.

Gu Zhan handed him one of the two cups of tea he had poured.

Yun Zhan took a sip of tea, with a youthful smile still on his brows, but the light in the depths of his eyes seemed to be overflowing.

He sighed: "Father also understands this truth, but no matter how partial he is to me, they are all his sons. He is still soft-hearted, and it is difficult to be completely heartless."

He shook the tea in the cup, the smile in his eyes remained unchanged: "Ye Caizhi's daughter is a very useful chess piece, I still want to keep her for another use, so I'll trouble you, little uncle. But don't worry, I will pay attention to Shu and fasten the rope, so that she won't let her jump out and hurt innocent people."

When he said this, he was no longer discussing with Gu Zhan.

In fact, Gu Zhan knew from a young age that even though he and Yun Zhan grew up together and walked a long way with him, the relationship between the two of them——

It is always the monarch and his ministers who want to put it before their relatives.

It's not even just Yun Zhan, even his own sister, Empress Gu, since she entered the palace, she is a member of the royal family first, and then she can be counted as the daughter of the Gu family.

It is because of this that he has felt extra lonely for so many years, and only by staying with his grandfather can he find the most complete sense of belonging.

Yun Zhan confessed his purpose to him, which also represented the intimacy and sincerity in his eyes.

Gu Zhan can understand him and support his actions, but it is in these actions that the identities of the two are separated.

"Okay." Gu Zhan didn't bother, he just told Yun Zhan, "But if you get any movement or news about that woman, please let me know as soon as possible."

"Definitely." Yun Zhan also promised with a smile.

In fact, he has also felt Gu Zhan's alienation and politeness in front of him since he was a child, but how can he do this?

He is the current crown prince, and he was born with this identity and position. This is destined to be a lonely road, and no one can accompany him.

Gu Zhan only talked about this with Yun Zhan once, and never mentioned it again.

In late May, Rui Wang Yunheng's private possession of the black fire case was concluded. The Chen family of Concubine Shu's mother who helped him buy it and went to Beijing with a dizzy black fire was convicted, and nearly half of his cronies were also investigated and dealt with. High-ranking officials were implicated, either convicted and dismissed, or demoted into exile, and in a short time most of the power he had operated for many years collapsed.

Taking advantage of this matter, the emperor decided to relegate him out of Beijing and drive him to the fiefdom to cultivate his mind and character.

As we all know, according to the tradition in the Great Hajj Dynasty, once the prince is relegated from Beijing, he will be confiscated of all his positions and real power in Beijing, and he will never have the opportunity to intervene in the central government affairs, that is, he will no longer have the right to touch the throne .

Because Yun Heng's incident had a wide impact, he continued to block the court for more than half a month. Everyone in the entire capital was in danger, and all the powerful families were much more low-key.

It just so happened that the weather was also getting hot, so Qi Huan naturally stayed behind closed doors to escape the heat with peace of mind.

And in the blink of an eye, in mid-June, just as Rui Wang Yunheng was packing his bags and preparing to move out of Beijing, there was a thunderstorm——

A person claiming to be a slave of King Rui's Mansion wrote an anonymous letter to report, and the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion quickly sent yamen guards to break into King Rui's Mansion to search, and found several letters of his collaborating with the enemy from the secret room of Yunheng's bedroom.

Yin Lianye of Jingzhao Prefecture presented the letter to the palace.

The emperor was awakened from his sleep, and after checking the secret letter, the root cause of the assassination incident at Prince Ning's Mansion last month was also revealed——

It turned out that Yun Heng colluded with Da Cheng, and the secret guards carefully trained by the royal family sent by Da Cheng.

As soon as this incident happened, one stone caused a thousand waves.

It is one thing for Yun Heng to smuggle black fire for personal gain, but it is another thing for him to collude with the enemy and treason, and even plot to assassinate the emperor and the prince.

Partial——

The black and white words on those letters were all Yun Heng's own handwriting, including the private seals, which were verified to be correct. This is solid evidence.

Not to mention that such a matter was involved, the emperor would not want to protect him, even if he still wanted to protect——

There is no guarantee!
This case was solved with lightning speed, and Prince Rui's Mansion once again became the target of public criticism.
