A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 243 Protect Her!

Qi Huan stood up with a sincere tone: "You don't need my cousin to come forward. The reason why I came to discuss with my aunt first is because King Ning came to the Gao family for this matter. I'm an outsider. No matter what I want to do, I have to do it myself With your approval."

Qi Wenjing gritted her teeth and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Go to the palace and ask His Majesty the Emperor for an explanation." She said: "It is about my cousin's reputation and life, I will handle it carefully, and I will never make a scene known to everyone. But we have suffered such a big loss, can it be Can aunt swallow this breath and watch King Ning retreat completely?"

Qi Wenjing has an arrogant temper, she couldn't swallow this breath.

If it was someone else, she would kill her right now to ask for an explanation.

Now it's only because the other party is a prince——

She suppressed her anger!

It was precisely because of this concern that even though Qi Huan's words reached this point, she still had concerns and did not nod immediately.

Qi Huan waited patiently.

After a while, Qi Wenjing raised her eyes to look at her again, and said hesitantly: "This was originally a disaster for our family. Today, you have given us a great favor by stepping forward to save my son from the fire..."

The Gao family has always maintained a neutral position in the court and does not stand in line.

Qi Huan knew exactly what she was thinking.

After Qi Huan and Gu Zhan got married, although everyone in the Qi family still didn't have a clear attitude in the court...

But at least as far as Qi Huan is concerned, she was assigned to the camp of the prince and Pingguo government by default.

Now that she is actively standing up for the Gao family, Qi Wenjing will naturally feel that she is trying to win an alliance for the prince and Gu Zhan.

A major event involving the future destiny of the entire family——

It's normal for Qi Wenjing to have concerns!
Qi Huan felt a little bitter in his heart, but he couldn't speak.

Today, whether she rescued Gao Yunmiao from Yunzheng, or wants to go further into the palace to file a complaint, she has no mixed stance in the court, but purely because she is also a woman and lives in this male-dominated society. In the age of dominance, she was furious, and couldn't stand Yun Zheng and Ye Xunyi who repeatedly used despicable means to desecrate and harm innocent women.

but--

Faced with Qi Wenjing's doubts, she couldn't even explain.

If she explains it, it will make the other party even more suspicious that she has ulterior motives and dares to act.

"Auntie, King Ning has a special status. In fact, even if I make a fuss in front of the imperial court...it won't hurt him." Qi Huan said, "I admit that I have selfish intentions. There is a deep grudge between Ye Xunyi and me. Today's matter She also has a share, even if King Ning cannot be pulled, at least... I don't want to let her go easily."

Ye Xun was interested in her, and Qi Huan's tolerance for her had reached its limit.

In the past, she always had a muddle-headed mentality, thinking that since she is the heroine, she is not some kind of hard-headed stubborn, she has to go against the sky, and she should follow God's will and go around the other party.

But all the way to today, Ye Xunyi's actions have seriously affected the normal life of her and the people around her.

Since the law of survival believed in in this book is the law of the jungle——

She didn't want to be killed by Ye Xunyi inexplicably, and even be used as a stepping stone for her. Now she can only drag her, the so-called heroine whom her destiny belongs to, down from the altar.

Qi Wenjing is also stuck at the moment.

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Qi Huan didn't force her anymore.

She sighed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just took out the two pieces of paper she was carrying in her sleeve and handed them over.

Qi Wenjing took it suspiciously.

Qi Huan explained: "In Qiyuan, I was lured away by Ye Xunyi because of my carelessness, and when I went back, I found that the drink my cousin drank was replaced by spirits, but because I was not there at the time, what is the problem? I don't dare to judge where it happened. But obviously, the person who set up the trick took advantage of my cousin's weakness of poor drinking and drinking, and set up a targeted trick."

As she spoke, her tone paused slightly.

In fact, she didn't want to get involved in the Gao family's housework.

Afterwards, he hesitated for a while before saying: "On the way back, I asked Tang Yu and the others, and I sent a message to lure my cousin to Qiyuan... Maybe it was the second son of the family."

"What?" Qi Wenjing's expression changed instantly.

Above the worry, a layer of hostility suddenly appeared in his eyes.

She stood up abruptly.

Qi Huan said: "This is just my guess based on Tang Yu's words. I also have no real evidence."

Then, she looked at the other piece of paper in Qi Wenjing's hand, and continued: "The banquet in Qiyuan in Prince Ning's Mansion was booked about a month ago. There was a banquet in the courtyard of the banquet, and the other one was adjacent to us, they paid the money but did not book a banquet, the statement given at that time was for emergencies, what if someone drank too much at the banquet and needed to rest?"

Qi Huanwu said to himself, and laughed mockingly: "Then the yard we used, Qiyuan's account records were originally booked by a foreign businessman surnamed Zhang, but he left Beijing temporarily for something, so four days ago Temporarily called someone to inform that the seat was cancelled, and Qiyuan arranged to give it up to his cousin. If King Ning's arrangement was a little more careful, the identity of this merchant should be able to be verified, and there is indeed him. The plan was well planned, and every step was calculated accurately. We didn't get any real evidence... If my aunt chooses to settle the matter, don't bring it up and pursue it lightly in the future. It’s easy to be bitten back.”

Doing his best to explain everything he could, Qi Huan bowed his knees to Qi Wenjing and gave a blessing: "My aunt still needs to take care of my cousin, so I'll go back first."

Glancing at Gao Yunmiao who was still drunk and unconscious, she couldn't help reminding again: "Although this matter is cruel, my cousin will be sad when she finds out, but since people can count on the first time, they may also count on the second time in the future." , so... I still suggest to my aunt, after my cousin wakes up, don't hide it, and tell her the truth, so as not to suffer unsuspectingly next time."

Qi Huan didn't know how other time-traveling women did it, and she was at ease when she came, and she could quickly integrate into the environment of the ancient feudal dynasty without any barriers.

But she—

It's been more than half a year, and I still feel deeply powerless because of my surprise and various constraints.

Obviously, girls are the most innocent victims in this kind of thing, but for the so-called reputation, or even just for the reputation of the family or the reputation of other girls in the family, when they encounter misfortune, everyone around them first Some are apprehensions, and they dare not pursue the murderer with their hands tied.

This situation...

Sad and helpless!
Qi Huan didn't want to show the dissatisfaction in her heart, so she lifted her foot and continued to walk outside.

When she reached out to open the door, Qi Wenjing, who had been in a state of confusion, finally woke up from her fugue state.

"Sister Huan!" She called Qi Huan, "If you want to enter the palace, go."

Qi Huan was not sure that she was not impulsive, so he turned his head to confirm her expression.

Qi Wenjing pinched the two pieces of paper in her hand, and pulled the corners of her mouth with a bitter expression: "Don't blame me for being timid, one day, when you get married, have children, and have a huge family behind me like me, maybe It will become like what I am today. When my daughter encountered such a thing, no one would be more angry and annoyed than me, but besides being the mother of Sister Miao, Yun Ze is also the mother, and I am also someone else's wife. Mistress of the Gao family, I..."

Perhaps because of anger and powerlessness, her tone suddenly choked up and she couldn't continue speaking.

Qi Huan nodded slightly, expressing his understanding: "I understand my aunt's concerns and difficulties."

Qi Wenjing didn't care whether she really understood or pretended to understand, but as if she was afraid of regretting herself, she hurriedly said: "Then you go, I... can't get away from here."

"Okay." Qi Huan pretended not to see her struggle and hesitation, and immediately opened the door and left.

After she left, Qi Wenjing's expression became stern in an instant, and she hurried out of the room.

Her confidant lady who was guarding the door stepped forward to help her, and she couldn't help being a little surprised: "Madam, what are you... What did Miss Biao tell you?"

"Where is Gao Yunpeng now?" Qi Wenjing asked coldly.

The lady looked at her murderous side face, and shivered instinctively: "Huh? Second Young Master? He... should be in Taixue."

Qi Wenjing said: "Ask Steward Lei to take someone to bring that little beast back to me. If he dares to resist, even if his leg is broken, he will be able to carry him back to me!"

Although the lady didn't know what happened, but seeing her stern expression, she knew that she was not joking, so she hurried down to give orders without any further delay.

Qi Wenjing called someone to take care of Gao Yunmiao, but she went back to her side first.

For the sake of her husband who is at the border, she must act cautiously when dealing with the outside world, and she cannot rashly confront a powerful and powerful prince, but if she can't even deal with her own ghost...

This housewife is really in vain!

Here Qi Huan came out of the General's Mansion and ran directly to the palace.

In fact, if she wanted to find someone to back her up to seek justice, she would have a better chance of winning if she went to Queen Gu.

But because Empress Gu is Gu Zhan's biological sister, if she sues Empress Gu, she will naturally accept the truth. Even if Empress Gu punishes Yun Zheng and Ye Xunyi later, she will be criticized into partiality.

Therefore, Qi Huan directly gave up this shortcut and went to the former dynasty.

She held Princess Zhaoyang's badge in her hand, and she didn't even need to wait outside the palace gate for the transmission permission. The captain of the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace gate personally led the way and took him to the emperor's imperial study courtyard.

With the recent floods in the south, the Ministry of War is busy restructuring again, and the emperor is also very busy.

At this time, just after taking a nap, he called the Minister of the Ministry of War and several other officials over to discuss matters.

Eunuch Li came out to take a look, naturally he couldn't just bring her a female family member into the palace, so he asked the reason first in a friendly manner.

Qi Huan knelt down facing the gate of the Imperial Study Room, deliberately avoiding Gao Yunmiao in his words, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I have a grievance, I have come to ask His Majesty the Emperor to support justice. His Royal Highness Prince Ning is extremely concubine Ye, who behaved despicably , bullying others... This matter is related to the reputation of the royal family and justice in the world, please His Majesty the Emperor, please give me an explanation!"

The environment inside the palace is more complicated than the environment outside. There are dozens of palace guards dispatched in the courtyard after hearing this, so she couldn't directly tell the story of Gao Yunmiao's almost humiliation.

However, she knelt down and refused to leave.

When Eunuch Li saw this posture, he couldn't forcefully push him out under the eyes of everyone, so he could only go in and pass on the original words.

The emperor was so busy, he was stunned when he heard the words, and waved his hands impatiently: "What's the big deal, why did their conflict come to my imperial study? Since she came to complain... Then...then go and call those two, and ask me later."

Eunuch Li came out with the edict, ordered a young eunuch in front of Qi Huan, and told him to go to Prince Ning's mansion to deliver the edict to invite Yun Zheng and the others to come over.

During this time, the emperor didn't cry out, and Qi Huan knelt motionless the whole time.

Because she broke into the palace rashly, it was already considered trespassing, breaking the rules, and the attitude of the palace could not be tolerated, so Eunuch Li acquiesced and asked her to kneel.

Although several palaces are near the palace city, it took the little eunuch more than half an hour to go back and forth to Prince Ning's palace.

but--

Ye Xunyi did not come, and the only one who responded to the imperial edict was Ning Wang Yunzheng.

At this moment, he has returned to the mansion and changed his clothes again. He is wearing a luxurious brocade robe, and he has returned to his appearance of a beast.

Qi Huan heard the movement of the palace people in the courtyard greeting him, and looked sideways, but he didn't see Ye Xunyi, and she didn't respond.

Yun Zheng, on the other hand, ruthlessly gouged out her kneeling back, then ignored her, and walked over to Eunuch Li and asked, "Is the emperor in there?"

The little eunuch who went to deliver the decree had already told him the whole story.

Eunuch Li smiled with embarrassment: "We are discussing matters inside, and His Majesty said that he will settle the lawsuit between you and Miss Qi's family after he finishes his work. Please wait a moment, Your Highness."

This afternoon, the sun is still very hot.

Yun Zheng rushed all the way over, already covered in sweat.

In addition, Qi Huan set fire to his trousers before, although he immediately took off his clothes, but he still suffered from burns, and now some places are so painful that it is hard to describe.

It's just that this kind of injury in a secret place is difficult for him to say, and he can only endure it.

I just wanted to ask Eunuch Li if he could wait in the side hall...

He heard the voice of the emperor in the hall saying: "You are also kneeling in the yard now, and someone wanted to sue you, and they all came to me. You are really giving me face, so reflect on yourself first."

Yun Zheng didn't dare to disturb him to deal with government affairs, so he could only retreat to the yard, raised the corner of his robe and knelt down.

He purposely knelt a little in front of Qi Huan.

In his capacity, this is as it should be.

Qi Huan didn't care about these things, he just waited for the emperor to summon him.

The two were holding their breath as they competed with each other, and their faces became colder than the other.

About an hour later, the Minister of the Ministry of War and other talents came out one after another.

At that time——

Qi Huan was already kneeling and sweating profusely, his knees were shaking, and it seemed that he had almost lost consciousness in his knees.

The emperor didn't summon them again immediately, but Eunuch Li brought some tea in first, and relieved his fatigue by blowing his shoulders and pressing his head.

The emperor's expression was indeed very tired, and he sighed and asked after recovering, "What's going on with those two outside?"

During this period, Eunuch Li seemed to be calm, but in fact he had secretly asked someone to inquire about the news.

He replied truthfully: "It is said that the two sides had a conflict while having dinner in a restaurant, it seems...it has something to do with the daughter of Hussar General Gao's family."

Eunuch Li's words, click to the end, just look at the emperor's face.

As expected, the emperor's face darkened instantly.

Apparently—

Immediately almost guessed the key to the whole thing!

"You bastard!" It's a good thing he didn't hold the tea bowl in his hand, otherwise he would have just thrown it out at this time.

Eunuch Li took a good look at his words and said, "The girl from the Qi family came into the palace with the badge that Her Majesty bestowed on Her Highness the Princess, and the slave got the news that Her Highness the Princess has just returned to the harem. I don't know if she is also with the Empress. It's about this."

The emperor fell silent for a while, and squeezed the space between his eyebrows twice.

Afterwards, he cheered up again, and returned to the unchanging appearance of the mountain collapsed in front of him, and gave Eunuch Li a wink: "Call them in."

Eunuch Li went out to pass the word.

Qi Huan gritted his teeth and supported his knee, trying not to shake his body, and stood up steadily.

In the end, when I looked up, I found that Yun Zheng hadn't gone in yet. He was staring at her with gloomy eyes, gnashing his teeth and said, "You've been bad-tempered about my king over and over again. You really think I'm a good-tempered king!" people?"

When he said this now, it was clearly a warning.

Qi Huan met his sinister gaze, and responded in the same way: "Relying on the status of the royal family again and again to do dirty and shameless things, His Highness King Ning really thinks that there is no justice in the world?"

Yun Zheng's lips moved, but outside the emperor's study and in front of Eunuch Li, he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

Finally, after a few rounds of eye contact, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and entered the hall.

Qi Huan walked in as if nothing had happened.

at the same time--

In Fengming Palace, Empress Gu came out from the back hall and saw her daughter. Before Yun Cheng could say hello, she had already ordered: "I heard the news about Qiyuan Restaurant at noon. You should go to the Imperial Study Room right now. There are ways to deal with it...you can punish them, but Ye's life must be left to me for the time being."

Yun Cheng put down his half-drunk teacup, frowned and got up: "Why?"

Empress Gu had a serious expression on her face, and handed her a piece of letter paper in her hand: "I just received a secret letter from your imperial brother Babaili that was urgently delivered early this morning. Something happened in the Southern Border Army."

Yun Cheng scanned the contents of the letter at a glance, and his face even turned pale when he was shocked.

But after she calmed down, she was still puzzled: "But...why do you want to protect that concubine from the Ye family?"

Queen Gu said: "I'll explain this to you in detail later, you go first and take care of things for me. That girl from the Qi family is also very temperamental, if she doesn't let her go, your father is not good To deal with a little girl like her, in short, leave that Ye family to me first."

After a moment of silence, she still couldn't help emphasizing: "I can use her!"

Her expression showed a bit of obvious coldness amidst the solemnity.

Yun Cheng pinched the letter paper in his hand, moved his lips, and almost questioned a few times, but after all, he remembered that this was her biological mother, and she should not be rude as a daughter, so she endured it again and again, and the time has come The words on the lips were swallowed.
