A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 264

And here, following him out of the alley, Feng Lin couldn't help but wondered when he saw no one on the street: "Master, there are also several forces competing with each other in the court here. Believe in the remnants of the king, and now the fourth prince Yunheng whose whereabouts are temporarily unknown, even you once said that Concubine Wen's mother's family also has ambitions to support the sixth prince... Today, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion is in danger, how can you be so sure? Is it related to Prince Ning's Mansion?"

The corners of Qi Wenyan's lips raised slightly, but the expression in his eyes was condensed.

His tone was also icy, and he said coldly: "When did I say that it was related to Prince Ning's Mansion? I'm talking about Ye Shi."

Feng Lin was a little confused by him: "Isn't Ye's the same as Prince Ning's Mansion? Could it be... She can still eat inside and outside, and colluded with others?"

"Why not?" Qi Wenyan asked back.

As he said that, before Feng Lin could answer, he changed the topic again, and his tone became even colder: "Didn't your people find Dongfang Mu lurking in the capital before? Poppy... Ji Congying's good-for-nothing father Although he is incompetent, he is good at delving into these heretics. In the last few years, the old man in the family was overfed with poppies, manipulated them, and finally broke down his body and spirit to death. Although the family of the Ji family has declined, he has devoted himself to success. If Yu Wencang's lackeys can't do anything else, it's not a problem to show your loyalty with some miscellaneous things that fuel the flames."

"Old Patriarch..." Feng Lin took a deep breath, his thoughts went astray, and Mao Sai muttered suddenly: "No wonder in the last few years, I always felt that the old Patriarch was headstrong, very irritable and irritable, and acted very extreme. It turned out that they followed the advice of their father and son..."

"Old things." Qi Wenyan's tone was quite disdainful, "It's also because he is greedy for power and position, and the older he gets, the more stupid he gets. If he can admit his old age earlier and retire to take care of his old age, he will always be able to retire completely. Some People, the older they get, the more ignorant they become, and if they insist on destroying all their past achievements and affections...it's their own fault."

He has been paying attention to the news about Dacheng, but he usually looks on with a cold eye.

As big as the situation of the Dacheng court, as small as the conflict of interests within the Ji clan...

This is the first time for such a direct comment and discussion.

This also caused Feng Lin to be his confidant and follow him almost inseparably, but he couldn't see what was going on in his heart.

At this time, precisely because he was not sure of his exact emotions, Feng Lin became even more worried, and kept his mouth shut, not daring to answer a single word.

He secretly glanced sideways at Qi Wenyan's expression on the horse in front of him, seeing that he didn't seem to be in an extreme mood, so he tried to change the subject: "You just said that the Ye family colluded with the Dacheng court? She is a woman in the inner house, even if she has some scheming methods... Yu Wencang is so happy and moody, how can he easily condescend to be with a woman?"

Qi Wenyan didn't mind his secretive behavior of changing the subject, but seemed to be in a good mood today, and said leisurely: "There is no accurate statement about the origin of the assassins in Prince Ning's Mansion a few months ago, but not long after that incident, you discovered The whereabouts of Dongfang Mu appeared here, and Ye took out the letter that Dacheng forged for her. How can there be so many coincidences in this world? The combination of these things is enough to explain the problem. "

Feng Lin's lips moved, still frightened.

Ye Xunyi is just a boudoir girl, even if she meets Dongfang Mu and the others——

How can she gain the trust of the other party, and even reach a long-term cooperative relationship?

But he knew that he already had too much gossip today, so he hesitated again and again, so he didn't dare to bother Qi Wenyan any more.

Qi Wenyan didn't have any doubts in his heart, he never doubted Ye Xunyi, but was sure that many things were done by that woman.

because--

From the first time that woman came to him, he had already realized that this woman was very wicked.

Therefore, even if some bizarre things happen to her again and again, he won't find it strange.

In fact, according to his own selfishness, he is not interested in watching the woman continue to be self-righteous, but based on his understanding of the emperor in the Great Hajj——

Qi Huan and Gu Zhan were also suspicious of Ye Xunyi, and they secretly guarded against and investigated her. After the incident of Gao Changjie in the southern border, these two juniors would definitely listen to their suspicions, but now the emperor continued to pretend Silly and stunned, leaving Ye Xunyi to cover up the peace?
He was convinced that the emperor, the empress and even the crown prince Yun Zhan were not complete fools.

and so--

They kept Ye Xunyi for the time being, and there must be some plot and plan behind this.

He is waiting and watching.

After that night, it was considered a peaceful one.

The next day, in the entire Marquis of Changning's mansion, except for the second master Qi Wenang, who held an important position, Qi Zhengyu and his son had a rest day because of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, and did not go to the yamen.

Because it is a dinner party, and it is one of the only two largest palace banquets in a year, there are more people invited to the palace for the banquet today. The normal process is that the officials and female relatives confirm their identities at the palace gate. After preliminary verification that there are no dangerous items, there will be palace people leading them directly to the banquet to sit down and wait for the banquet to start.

Because there are so many people, they are afraid of accidents, so everyone is forbidden to hang out in the palace.

Therefore-

On this day, everyone only needs to go to the palace gate in the evening and wait for their identities to be verified.

Just because of the large number of people, experienced families would go there earlier and wait. Yang arranged for his family to leave after noon.

Because he was about to go out soon, Qi Huan didn't get much sleep in his afternoon nap that day, so he simply got up after a short nap.

Yun Xi brought Mu Xiang Mu Lan over to dress her up and change her clothes, getting ready quickly.

Yunxi said: "When will Miss come back tonight? Will the maidservant go with you?"

Qi Huan deliberately fixed his sideburns more firmly, looked at himself in the mirror, and after confirming that the makeup was correct, he said: "I don't know when I can go back, such a big banquet, there are so many people, so I have to hurry up What's more. You don't have to follow, you won't be able to enter the palace gate if you go, and you have to wait outside in the carriage, it's better to stay at home with Xing Luo."

Yun Xi feels too much, so she doesn't want to go out at night.

Moreover, she had accompanied Qi Huan into the palace before, but she couldn't enter the palace gate, and she couldn't wander around in the vicinity, surrounded by vicious guards of the Imperial Forest Army.

Although it was still early, Qi Huan packed up and went to Yang's first.

Yang Shi was still dressing up, and when she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Why are you here so early?"

Qi Huan glanced around her room: "Brother Chen is taking a nap? That kid sometimes adds to the chaos, I'm afraid he's going to lose his temper today... we'll all go out in a while, leaving him alone. Won't you make trouble when you wake up?"

As Qi Yuanchen is a direct descendant of the Marquis of Changning, in fact, if Yang Shi is willing, he can take him there with him.

But in an environment like the palace, there are many nobles and rules, and a child of his size is easy to bump into...

To be on the safe side, it's better not to take it with you.

Yang said: "Probably not. I told Mother Liu, when he wakes up, if he can't be coaxed after making a fuss, go to Tongji Medical Center to pick up Sister Yue."

Qi Huan was bored and sat down at the table, resting his chin and watching her make up.

Hearing this, he teased and said with a teasing smile: "Always bother Sister Hu and her daughter so much, we have to wrap a big red envelope for them when we wait for the New Year."

"That's right." Yang also laughed.

After chatting for a while, Qi Huan suddenly remembered something, and asked Miss Yun: "Aunt Yun, hasn't grandma come back from Xiangguo Temple yet?"

Lady Yun had just finished brushing Yang's hair, and was washing her hair oil: "It probably hasn't happened yet, if I go back, the concierge will come over and make noise."

Qi Huan turned his head to look at the sky outside again, thoughtful.

Seeing Mrs. Yun going out to splash water with a washbasin, she followed her out, and quietly grabbed her: "Gun Yun, you can go to the Tongji Medical Center to pick up Sister Yue right now."

Lady Yun watched her grow up and knew her temperament very well.

Seeing this, he handed over a questioning look: "What?"

"By the way, ask Sister Hu for something for me." Qi Huan smiled slyly, and whispered a few words to her without hiding it in front of her.

When Miss Yun heard the words, she was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said dotingly: "You... But it's true, the old lady is unreasonable, it's better to take a detour, so as not to be caught by her, It's a head-on conflict."

Putting down the washbasin, she made a quick decision and hurried out.

Yang Shi was in the room, and probably glanced at the movement on the porch at the door, and when Qi Huan entered the room again, she couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking about?"

"What else can you think about? The heart of a villain." Qi Huan smiled, but this time he deliberately made a haha, didn't go further, and only discussed with Yang, "Let's start again half an hour later, Yun My aunt was sent out by me to help with some errands."

When Yang usually goes out, she will bring Miss Yun with her on ordinary trips, but usually on more formal and grand occasions, Mama Jin will accompany her.

The two most capable women in charge around her were not at home at the same time, and she would feel uneasy, so she listened to Qi Huan's invitation.

Qi Wenjing didn't care about these things, he was ready to go in the front yard early, and he would leave whenever Yang's side called.

At Qi Zhengyu's place, Mrs. Yang also did enough superficial work and asked someone to ask him. He said that he had something to do with the yamen and he had to go there, so he went out after lunch.

It's just that Yang's mother and daughter delayed so much, and Qi Yuanchen woke up before half an hour.

Qi Huan was worried, lest he would make an untimely scene again, so he planned to use Qiao Yue as a sugar-coated cannonball to fool him...

But I don't want to, the little thing is very sensible today, just rolling around on the bed with the quilt in his arms, and asked Qi Huan anxiously: "Is there any delicious food at the palace banquet?"

Qi Huan suppressed a smile: "There were a lot of people at the palace banquet, and the dishes were cold when they came out. What's there to eat? You should stay at home obediently. Aunt Yun is going to pick up Sister Yue. If you want to eat, tell the cook to go Do."

Hearing that Qiao Yue was coming, Qi Huan felt that his younger brother was more obedient than the naked eye.

There was nothing wrong with him here, so Qi Huan completely relaxed.

Lady Yun's trip back and forth to Tongji Medical Center would take about an hour at the earliest, and they couldn't wait for her to come back before leaving, so seeing that it was almost time, the family of three took Qi Xin and went out together.

On the other side, Miss Yun has already taken what Qi Huan asked for from Dr. Hu.

Originally, she was going to take Qiao Yue to the Hou's Mansion, but it happened that Dr. Hu had a lot of patients seeing the doctor today. Seeing Xiao Qiaoyue was busy helping her, she didn't want to open her mouth. She just took her things and came out.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets are extra lively.

The two streets connected by Dr. Hu's Medical Center are paved, and there are even more people who go shopping and shopping. The carriage cannot be squeezed in the bustling crowd. In order to save time, she asked the carriage to go across the street. I waited at the place where I got out of the car and walked through the crowd to the medical hall.

At this time, she came out of Tongji Medical Center with a medicine bag, and was walking in the crowd——

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her from the side of the road.

"Is it Mrs. Yun from the Marquis of Changning? Please take a step to speak."

This is a slightly smiling female voice, but the voice is actually cold and unfriendly.

Yun Niangzi was a little absent-minded, but when she heard the words, her mind was instantly absorbed.

Turn around.

I didn't see anyone I knew on the side of the road, and I didn't find any suspicious targets.

finally--

Her eyes locked on a carriage parked by the side of the road.

The carriage of the carriage was made of wood, it wasn't very ostentatious, but it was exquisitely made and sturdy.

There are no obvious family emblems and mansion marks on it, but at a glance, it can be seen that it is at least the car of a wealthy family.

just weird-

A carriage was parked alone by the side of the road. Not only was there no coachman guarding it, there was no maidservant around to follow the carriage.

However, Miss Yun still walked over.

because--

At the window, half of the face of a woman wearing a veil was exposed, and that person happened to be waiting for her leisurely.

When a lady goes out, in order not to reveal her appearance, she will wear a veil or a veil to cover her face. Her dress is not special, but she is so mysterious when she is sitting in the carriage...

Lady Yun walked to the side of the carriage, keeping a distance of two steps for the sake of caution.

It was the other party who called her first, so she didn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

The lower half of the woman's face in the car was faintly visible under the veil, and she couldn't really see it clearly, but her eyes were raised, and it was clearly a smiling expression.

She was condescending, looking at the medicine bag in Lady Yun's hand, but first teased: "Miss Qi has become more and more daring in her actions recently, what did you find for her? What did you do for her like this?" Don't you think about the consequences when you do things, and don't leave yourself a way out?"

The expression on Lady Yun's face remained the same. After hearing her finish, she was neither guilty nor angry, she just asked back and forth: "Concubine Ye Chou is still in her confinement, so she can't wait to go out and run around, and condescend to honor her." , personally came forward to provoke the relationship between other family's master and servant... Can you bear it physically? You don't care about it, don't you want to do it later?"

Where did Ye Xunyi think that the servants of the Qi family were all eloquent and so difficult to deal with.

She was poked at the sore spot again, and her expression suddenly changed.

Even though the veil concealed her exact expression, the corners of her eyes that were originally proud and upturned instantly straightened, which bluntly exposed her sudden out-of-control emotions.

Lady Yun gave her a cold look before turning around and leaving.

"I want to talk to you." Ye Xunyi saw that the show was not going to work, so he immediately changed his strategy, turned his voice cold, and got straight to the point.

"I'm from the Qi family, and I have nothing to do with you, so naturally I have nothing to say to you." Lady Yun didn't buy her.

Seeing that she was determined to leave, Ye Xun finally ran out of patience, followed by sharpening eyes, and said again with malice in his eyes: "If you are really from the Qi family, naturally you don't need to talk to me, but you are not. Don't rush to reject me, if I call you Mrs. Xun... can we have a good chat calmly."

Lady Yun had already taken two steps out.

Hearing this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her feet were rooted, and she froze firmly in place.

Although Ye Xunyi only saw her back, but he also knew that if he got such a handle, and poked her weak point face to face, this person was equivalent to being manipulated by her.

The ends of her eyes were raised again, and her smiling face was restored.

The streets are still full of people coming and going, bustling and lively.

Miss Yun pinched her palms with her fingernails, and stood for a long time, finally gritted her teeth, turned her head and walked back to the carriage step by step.

At the end of the street, Qiao Yue was carrying a large bag of herbal tea, and looked at this side for a long time with her neck tilted.

It was intended to catch up with Mrs. Yun and give it to her, but in the end I don't know why——

She obviously found someone, but she didn't come over. She stood for a while and went back with her things.
