A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 323 Taking Power
"Your Highness was sent to leave the capital immediately after he came down?" Ye Xunyi repeatedly confirmed the news.

Because she is in this Prince Ning's mansion, and now she has to rely on Yun Zheng to live.

The maid said: "That's what the news from the front yard said. After the imperial court, the Imperial Forest Army will directly escort him away from the capital. At this moment, the people around the prince are packing their clothes and luggage in the front yard. The servant asked specifically, and heard Steward Liu's tone...maybe he won't be back for at least half a year."

Yun Zheng is the master of this palace. He was sent away by the emperor without warning, and there is no concubine who can take care of him in the mansion. Everyone in the mansion is in panic.

Ye Xunyi was holding a bowl of tonic soup in his hand, but he didn't realize it for a long time.

They made trouble at the Qi family's birthday banquet yesterday but failed to control the situation in the end. She had already foreseen that the dispute against Su Qinnian would be hard to get a satisfactory result.

Can--

She never expected that Yun Zheng would be sent directly to the imperial mausoleum by the emperor just after going to court.

Although the emperor didn't say too much on the surface, in fact, this kind of punishment is more serious than directly locking people in the mansion under house arrest.

"What else?" Reluctance to gather herself together, she still tried to ask for details, "Your Highness was reprimanded by His Majesty and ordered to go to the imperial mausoleum to cultivate one's heart and mind, so... did His Majesty say anything else? Did he say that he would deal with it together?" In our house?"

She didn't care if Yun Zheng was fined or imprisoned, and she was even happy to see the results. The more miserable Yun Zheng was, the happier she felt.

but--

The only prerequisite is that it cannot affect her!
The maid hesitated and shook her head: "I haven't heard of this. Your Majesty scolding His Highness seems to be just talking in the court, and nothing happened in our house."

Ye Xunyi was still worried, and after careful consideration, he said: "Go and check again."

She can't be affected by Yun Zheng, if the emperor orders Ning Wang's mansion to be sealed, she can only be locked up in this mansion and can't do anything.

The maid promised, and went to the front yard to inquire again about the news.

Now the entire mansion is in a bit of a mess, and all the concubines have sent their confidantes out to inquire about the news.

Women depend on men to live, and if something happens to Yunzheng, they will all follow suit.

As soon as Ye Xunyi had finished eating, the maid came back to report the news again: "Your Majesty just annoyed our Highness in the court, and it is possible that the punishment was heavier just because of anger, and there will be no future after that." That's it. Concubine side concubine, please relax first, maybe after a few days, His Majesty will calm down... There is still Concubine Xian in the palace, we can't reach His Majesty to intercede, she can still speak, should Nothing serious."

Ye Xunyi didn't think so.

As long as the emperor didn't seal the Prince Ning's mansion, there would be no clear words to ground them, the women in the backyard of the mansion...

In fact, she wished that Yun Zheng would be trapped in the imperial mausoleum forever and not come back.

and--

The emperor's current approach is right and wrong, and it is even just right. It suits her best. Yunzheng is not in the mansion, and he has not been charged with any serious crimes that affect the entire palace, so now the entire Ningwang mansion belongs to her. Noble, you can let her walk sideways.

Again—

If she could use some tricks to fool Concubine Sheng Xian and get the support of this "mother-in-law", the entire Prince Ning's Mansion would become her world!
Ye Xunyi was full of ambition, and quickly ran through a set of plans in his mind, and then asked the maid: "You just said that people from other houses are also asking for news everywhere?"

"Yes..." The maid answered in a low voice.

After Ye Xunyi entered the mansion, she did not compete for favor. Of course, she was not favored either. Although sometimes she and Yun Zheng would meet each other and discuss things, but except for the wedding night, the two of them never shared the same bed. Pass.

Ye Xunyi looked down on those women in Yun Zheng's backyard from the bottom of her heart, and she probably didn't want to fight with those women, so she ordered the maid beside her to keep emphasizing the news that she and Yun Zheng were in harmony Put it out.

In this way——

Those women didn't regard her as an imaginary enemy. After so long, she hadn't been drawn into all kinds of fighting for favor among the women in the backyard.

Ye Xunyi pursed her lips, her eyes glistened, and then she decisively lifted the quilt and said, "Fresh and change my clothes."

"Your Majesty, you are not feeling well, you should take care of yourself." The maid looked at her pale face, but felt uneasy.

However, Ye Xunyi was very persistent, so she called someone in to help, and waited on Ye Xunyi to comb her hair and change her clothes.

Ye Xunyi dressed properly and went to the front yard.

At that time, the housekeeper was busy with work, and just packed the necessary things for Yun Zheng to personally send them to him.

As soon as he turned back from the gate, turned around the screen wall, and entered the small garden in the front yard, he saw Ye Xunyi standing there.

"The side concubine." The housekeeper knows the relationship between Yun Zheng and Ye Xunyi best, and it is for this reason that he regards himself as one of the people in the mansion, and he does not pretend to be arrogant towards Ye Xunyi. A little arrogant: "Do you have something to say to His Highness? The person who sent the things to the imperial mausoleum has just left, so there is still time."

Ye Xunyi smiled and said without changing his face: "I believe that His Highness can take good care of himself, and His Highness is His Majesty's own son, can His Majesty treat him well? I am a house girl, so I don't have to worry about it. "

From her attitude, it was obvious that she was hiding something.

The housekeeper was also in a state of confusion today, and he was impatient, so he turned cold and asked, "Then you are..."

The smile on Ye Xunyi's lips suddenly deepened. He took two steps forward, stood very close in front of him, and said in a low voice, "I just suddenly remembered something and wanted to remind Steward Liu. His Highness is not here recently. In the mansion, the people in the mansion are uncertain, you must take care of the door for him, if there is another scandal, it will be even worse."

The housekeeper was stunned.

But before he could straighten out his thoughts, Ye Xunyi turned around and walked away Shi Shiran.

Back in her own yard, it was already noon again, she sat down on the table, and just wanted to think carefully about the next thing, unexpectedly——

Residual poison in the body, attack again.

It was nearly an hour of tossing, and she could only curl up into a ball and roll on the couch throughout the whole process.

The maid looked scared, so she went to call the medical officer again.

The medical officer was not good at detoxification, and he was struggling, so he reluctantly prescribed an analgesic prescription for her.

It can't cure the root cause, but it's not so difficult after taking medicine to suppress it.

After all this tossing, Ye Xunyi lay paralyzed on the bed for the whole afternoon, and he didn't even have the energy to think.

At night, I forced myself to have a good meal, and I just calmed down and went to sleep...

In the middle of the night, it happened again.

And this time, just like the first time, he vomited a mouthful of black blood.

After this time, the medical officer in the mansion finally figured out the way: "My concubine, although your poisoning is not deep, but the poison is extremely overbearing. According to the law, as long as the toxin cannot be completely eliminated in one day, you will die every day." There will be two attacks at noon. The analgesics prescribed by the humble staff will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If things go on like this... it will always damage the body, so we should find a way to cure it as soon as possible."

Ye Xunyi has been waiting for Dongfang Mu to appear, and the time is still short, she has been full of hope.

after all--

Dongfang Mu said that the antidote is going to be found in the smoky land in the south, and this medical officer is not very skilled. It will take time for him to delve into the formula of the antidote, and it will also take time to find and prepare the medicine. Just a month or two passed, and it would be more immediate to wait for Dongfang Mu to appear.

Ye Xunyi didn't pin her hopes on him for the time being, she just gritted her teeth and said with pain: "Just give me some decoction to relieve the pain first, by the way, don't spread the word about it, His Highness is not at the house now, I don't want to make any more troubles. "

She insisted on this, and the medical officer couldn't force it, so he could only agree.

At the same time, Yun Xi in the Marquis of Changning's mansion is also recovering from illness these days.

With their current identities as mother and daughter, they naturally can no longer live in the servant's room. Yang ordered someone to tidy up an unused yard in Qixia Garden for them to live in temporarily, and sent a few reliable maids to take orders. .

Su Qinnian's actions were quick, and he came to the door in person with a gift every other day.

Because he got the news in advance and knew that he was coming, Yang asked Qi Wenjing to ask for leave and wait at home.

Apart from expressing his thanks, Su Qinnian also set a date for the wedding.

This day Gu Zhan came with him again, in fact, it was not so much to accompany Su Qinnian as to meet his fiancée with an excuse.

Su Qinnian and the four of them discussed the wedding in Yanyuxuan in the front yard, and he slipped to the backyard to drink tea at Qi Huan's.

Qi Huan is now able to make tea very well. It happened that there was a little snow that day, and she became interested, so she asked someone to bring the stove and a complete set of tools to cook tea on the spot.

The door of the room was open, and occasionally cold snow smog swept across the courtyard outside, and the fragrance of tea wafted in the room.

Qi Huan chatted with Gu Zhan while pouring tea: "Aunt Xun and the others are just going through a formality when they get married, and the sooner this matter is settled, the sooner this turmoil will calm down. Their wedding date should be fixed. On the nearest auspicious day?"

Gu Zhan said: "It's not just to calm down the storm. The two of them have been separated for so many years, and now they are only fighting for the day and night. Naturally, they will think that the sooner the better, the better. The date has been set, the first day of next month."

"Although there is only less than half a month left, if you hurry up, you will be ready enough." Qi Huan nodded, not surprised by this.

After a pause, she asked again: "Teacher really has made up his mind, after the big wedding, will he ask himself to leave Beijing for a foreign job?"

Su Qinnian achieved the current official position. To be honest, if he went to a local government, he would definitely be underqualified and overqualified.

"He handed it in the next day after the incident happened, but it was held down by His Majesty, and it has not been made public in the court." Gu Zhan said, after a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Although it is his private matter, it is now being On the cusp of the storm, regardless of the overall situation of the government... It is a good thing for Aunt Xun and Yunxi to leave Beijing for two years."

It's not their turn to comment on Su Qinnian's affairs, or even point fingers, so this topic is enough to stop here.

Qi Huan handed Gu Zhan a cup of freshly brewed tea.

He was in a mood today, and she could tell from the first moment she saw him, she just endured it until now and then teased him: "What's wrong with you? How old are Taifu Su and Aunt Xun? How old are you?" How old am I? It's just a marriage, are you so jealous?"

Gu Zhan was indeed depressed because of this matter.

Look at the efficiency of Su Qinnian and his wife, and look at him and Qi Huan...

They met on the same day, proposed on the spot, and then got married after half a month. Their procrastination, twists and turns, and competitive Gu Shizi had a serious psychological imbalance.

He was even a little resentful, and raised his eyes to glance at Qi Huan.

Qi Huan suppressed a smile, looked outside, saw no one was moving around in the yard, got up quickly, and the cat entered his arms.

She put her hands on Gu Zhan's neck and looked up at him: "Didn't we all discuss it, and we will do it in the spring of the next year? You child? Why do you still go back on your word?"

Gu Zhan had a temper today, so he was deliberately cold and didn't raise his hand to help her.

Qi Huan pinched his cheek and kissed his lips again. Seeing that he was still relentless, he also pretended to be stern: "I'm going to be angry if you do this again?"

He made a gesture to get out of his arms, but Gu Zhan grabbed his waist and pressed him back firmly.

Qi Huan raised his eyes suddenly, and the eyes of the two collided again.

She couldn't hold back the laughter that she had been holding back for a long time, and thumped his chest again: "Are you still pretending?"

Gu Zhanyuan was just a little emotional, if he was really angry or had a temper tantrum, it wouldn't matter.

After being slapped by Qi Huan, he was overwhelmed and laughed.

Holding her in his arms, he also lowered his eyes and pecked her lips lightly, and rubbed her lips crookedly: "Then you should say hello to Mrs. Shizi and the others earlier. If you have a promise, I will go to her sooner." Get ready."

Qi Huan couldn't help laughing: "There are still a few months..."

Gu Zhan persisted: "I just want a letter of approval!"

Qi Huan: ...

In the next half month, the family will do their best to prepare for Su Qinnian and Xun Su's big wedding. Qi Huan thought about it, but he still didn't like Gu Zhan's plan. He wanted to wait until the Su family's happy event was over before mentioning it.

Now that the past was made public, and in order to prove to the world that she and Su Qinnian were open and honest, Xun Su changed back to her original surname and decided to officially become Su Qinnian's wife in this capacity.

As for Yunxi, the name was originally simple. After recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan, it would be good to just add a surname in front of the name, which is not bad anyway.

That night, Qi Wenjing and his wife went to see Qi Zhengyu together, and said that they planned to marry Xun Su from the Marquis of Changning. In order to have a proper name, the Yang family and Xun Su recognized sisters.

Qi Zhengyu knew very well that even if his family provided this convenience, in the end Su Qinnian would only be grateful to the Yang family.

Well, his incompetent eldest son can also get some credit, but when it comes to him, there is only face left.

But even so, he couldn't help but nod.

Even if he couldn't please him, he didn't need to offend Su Qinnian again.

Therefore, he nodded without saying a word about this favor.

Anyway, it was all Yang's doing, and there was no need for him to do anything. He was depressed, and he still went to the Yamen every day, leaving early and returning late, not seeing what was going on in the house.

Because of the tight wedding date, Su Qinnian came to the door the next day and offered the engagement in person.

He was not someone who was trying to catch fame, so he neither lavished extravagance nor deliberately kept a low profile. He went through the process according to his own status and family background, and gave the dowry in a very formal and formal manner.

After all, this incident caused quite a commotion among the civil servants and Qingliu, and many people had mixed feelings in their hearts.

But after all, the news still had wings and spread throughout the streets and alleys of the whole capital within half a day.

Ye Xunyi also heard the news that day, and was the one who was so embarrassed all afternoon.

The two maidservants accompanied her in the room, discussing while doing needlework: "What's wrong with this world, how many wives and wives from famous families in the capital can't get a good marriage? People like Mr. Su are actually cheaper than a brothel." woman?"

"Who says it's not." The other also echoed, "How can I say this, it's fate. Who would have thought that Mrs. Su, who is usually unkind and serious, is actually an infatuated species!"

For those people in the past, everyone privately speculated that there was something wrong with Su Qinnian. Men in their twenties and thirties were in their prime and held high positions of power.

If he keeps doing this, the future unofficial history should record that he is suffering from a hidden disease.

But now-

This is really a kind of infatuation, which woman in the world doesn't envy her?

Ye Xunyi wasn't envious, but she was really panicked in her heart.

She never even dreamed that Su Qinnian's matter would eventually develop in this direction...

In the previous life, the crown prince Yun Zhan died early. After the crown prince passed away, Su Qinnian was still conscientiously serving as his close minister to the emperor. After a few years, after the emperor passed away and Yun Heng ascended the throne of God, he hung up his seal and resigned. He was just in his forties. He retired and returned home.

Yun Heng may also be somewhat jealous that he once favored and loyal to the crown prince, so he did not retain him.

Since then, there has been no news of this important court official in the court.

Later, Ye Xunyi saw it in the anecdotal files collected by Yun Heng, which recorded that after Su Qinnian resigned, he retired to the countryside and was accompanied by his wife and daughter, and his so-called wife and daughter were actually Zeng Changning. The confidantes of the Madam of the Madam of the Hou Mansion when she was alive, and if they go to a deeper level to find out their details, that is Xun Su's unbearable background.

Ye Xunyi understood at that time why Su Qinnian didn't marry her openly when he was an official. He guessed it was because the process of getting to know each other was unbearable for outsiders.

But after Su Qinnian resigned, he finally found Xun Su, which also showed that he and this woman did have true feelings.

So, after being reborn, she took Su Qinnian's secret as her lifeline.

Because in her opinion, according to Su Qinnian's behavior in his previous life, the relationship between him and Xun Su should indeed be extremely shameful, hiding a lot of filth, but she never thought that it would turn out like this after the incident was exposed.

Obviously she was the one who started it, but now things are backfired!
Ye Xunyi's current mood is really stuck in his throat, no matter how he thinks about this, he feels uncomfortable.

But in this matter, she was powerless and could only let it go.

After a few more days of suffering like this, she ushered in a turning point——

Hearing that Yun Zheng was assigned to the imperial mausoleum and would not be able to return for at least half a year, in the past few days, he had caught three concubines who were planning to escape one after another in his backyard.

One of them colluded with the guards in the mansion and prepared to elope, while the other two simply saw the right time, cooperated with each other, and planned to escape together to find another way of life.

After all, being a concubine is still in Prince Ning's mansion where there are so many beauties in the back house. It is difficult for them to get ahead, so it is better to take some money and escape to live a peaceful life.

Thanks to Ye Xunyi's reminder, none of these people's plans came to fruition, and they were arrested by the housekeeper before they left the house.

But after all, they are Yun Zheng's concubines, and one of them has a decent name. Now that Yun Zheng is not in the mansion, the housekeeper is still an outsider's slave no matter what, and he doesn't dare to make decisions.

Then, in reciprocation, he sought out Ye Xunyi, the only woman with the most noble status in the mansion.

When Yunzheng was in the mansion, although Ye Xunyi was also constrained and refused to give her the right to take charge of the government affairs and general affairs, but in this situation, it would be justifiable for her to say that sending these concubines away.

But the housekeeper didn't expect that Ye Xunyi didn't accept the opportunity to be the master of the house. Instead, he suggested that he secretly report to Concubine Sheng Xian in the palace and ask Concubine Sheng Xian to make up her mind.

The housekeeper thought about it, and delivered the letter to the concubine Xian in the palace in the name of the palace.

On the same day, Concubine Sheng Xian sent a message back, telling them to deal with the man in the mansion, on the premise that the news must not be spread outside.

and--

He rewarded Ye Xunyi with a set of precious jewelry, and told her to take care of the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion until Yun Zheng came back.

In this way, Ye Xunyi has obtained the imperial approval, and can finally take power in Prince Ning's mansion with one hand covering the sky!
