Queen's scheming

Chapter 451 Mistakes
Outside the door was a message from the servant that Princess Qinya is here.

Gu Yiran gently raised the corners of his lips and raised his hands. When he came to the study so late, he didn't know what kind of dress Princess Qinya had made. Every time he didn't go to the main courtyard for a few days, Princess Qinya would ask Following Shen Qingyi's appearance, he came to the study to look for him. Gu Yiran never tires of this game.

But this time, Gu still didn't wait for the bright red palace attire. Instead, he saw Princess Qinya wearing a homely hibiscus-colored dress with narrow sleeves, with intricate patterns of begonias embroidered on the collar, no makeup on her face, and her hair in a bun. It was only rolled up loosely, and it was only fixed with a hairpin made of suet and white jade.

Gu Yiran's face became a little cold, and Princess Qinya performed the blessing ceremony. Gu Yiran asked a little displeased: "What's the matter? Dress like this, and come to the outer courtyard, so you won't lose your reputation as a princess." !"

Gu Yiran originally had expectations. He hadn't seen Shen Qingyi for some days. He didn't know why. Shen Qingyi's appearance had blurred in his mind. Now he desperately wanted to see a Shen Qingyi's substitute, Princess Keqinya, didn't follow suit!

Before Princess Qinya could open her mouth, she said with tears in her eyes: "The concubine just got the news that the seventh brother was set up by the third brother, and now he has been imprisoned. My lord, what should I do?"

"Seventh brother?" Gu Yiran frowned. He didn't expect things to develop so fast. How long did it take?I haven't made any arrangements on my side, and I haven't even decided who to go to Han Qi. Has something happened to the Seventh Prince?

Gu Yiran took a sip of his tea, this matter might not be easy, could it be that Han Qi is going to initiate the palace change at this time?The timing is really not good!
Gu was still silent for a moment, he had already stated that he would help the Seventh Prince, but he couldn't make them take it for granted, so he looked directly at Princess Qinya and said, "How has this king treated you and the seventh brother all these years? You understand in your heart that the seventh brother is alone in Han Qi, and the king is worried that he does not have some skilled martial arts guards around him, so he specially sent people to go all the way, but it has been a few years, and the seventh brother is still single-minded. Even if this king wants to help you, he must be able to support him!"

Princess Qinya lowered her eyes slightly, knowing that Gu Yiran was going to make a deal with her, so she shed tears, twisted her handkerchief and cried, "In the final analysis, the prince is the concubine's heaven, and the seventh younger brother is married again. Yimeng is a concubine, and those who go around are all members of the same family. Yimeng is both the concubine's sister-in-law and the concubine's younger siblings. Such a relationship is rare to find everywhere. Seventh brother Is it because I like more essays, that's why I want the prince to help me?"

Princess Qinya raised her eyes slightly. Her eye makeup was deliberately painted. She drew thin willow-leaf eyebrows similar to Shen Qingyi's. She stared at Gu Yiran with watery eyes and said, "Speaking of between husband and wife, If you put your heart into it, the prince will be able to stand up in Dali in the future, if the seventh brother can stand up in Han Qi, we will still be a family!"

Gu Yiran narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the eyes of Princess Qinya looking at him, and his expression relaxed a little, Han Qi's seventh prince only likes things of literati, it's not a bad thing, when he occupies the seat of the emperor of Dali in one fell swoop At that time, he let the Seventh Prince bow his head and profess his minister. Anyway, the Seventh Prince is surrounded by elite soldiers he arranged. The Seventh Prince has no improvement in martial arts. In the future, he will be the one who will rule the world!
Gu Yiran looked at Princess Qinya with a smile, raised his hand and said: "Get up and talk! As you said, the seventh brother is not an outsider, isn't Yimeng still in his mansion? He is living well, and it is Yimeng Live well, I also hope that their life will be smooth, even if you don't look aside, you should always look at Brother Yong!"

When Princess Qinya heard Gu Yiran mentioning the child, a barb in her heart was suddenly touched, but she didn't show it at all, she still had an anxious look, and said: "Isn't it? It's already three years old!"

Gu Yiran nodded invisibly and said, "The seventh brother was imprisoned for what reason, and what did your father say?"

Princess Qinya frowned and said: "This is why I went to find the prince. The seventh brother was tricked by the third brother and took care of the salt affairs for a few days, but then he was tricked into it by the third brother. There is a full amount of 10 taels of silver missing, and there is no way to make up for this shortfall. My father and king sent a message and asked the seventh brother to take out the silver, otherwise he will be abolished. The prince does not know. Mother of the Moon also wrote a letter to the concubine, saying that the father and king have already preferred the seventh brother to be the crown prince, what should we do now!"

"Hundreds of thousands?" Gu Yiran became angry all of a sudden, and asked, "How could he lose so much money all of a sudden!"

Princess Qinya wiped her tears and scolded: "It's not because of my third brother!"

Gu Yiran listened to this obviously biased words, and shouted angrily: "Why is he being deceived by someone? Does he not have a brain?"

Seeing that Gu Yiran was angry, Princess Qinya quickly poured warm tea from the porcelain table beside her to change for Gu Yiran, and then said in a low voice: "The other people don't know, but the prince doesn't know? My seventh brother He is just stubborn, and has always put family first, and his concubines have told him a few times, don't trust my big brother and third brother, but since my father revealed that he wants him to inherit the great line Afterwards, my eldest brother and third brother treated him like a different person!"

"What kind of temperament is the seventh brother? The prince should have seen it. If others treat him well, he will show great sincerity. Who would have known that my third brother would plot against him?" Princess Qinya covered her face with a handkerchief. Wiping away tears one by one, under the candlelight, the tears were dripping, so sultry.

Only then did Gu Yiran's expression soften a little, thinking that the Seventh Prince's temperament is also beneficial to him, as long as he can help him, he is not afraid that he will not repay him well in the future!
"Tell me what's going on? How could you lose so much all of a sudden? You know how much money I have in my hand. I can't bear to take out so much silver taels all at once!" Gu was still angry. road.

Naturally, the grain and grass go first, but what is the grain and grass relied on to buy it back, it is not money, the money in his hand is for future palace changes, if it is given to the Seventh Prince, he will really lose money!
Princess Qinya knew how much money Cheng Wang's mansion had on the surface, but she didn't know what was in private. She knew very well in her heart that Gu Yiran must have a way to get money secretly, otherwise she would only rely on the money from the mansion. These silver taels, how can he have the capital to force the palace!
Princess Qinya sighed and said: "The seventh brother is in charge of the salt affairs, and the third brother exchanged sand for salt, which resulted in a loss of tens of thousands of taels. , All of a sudden, the seventh brother ran out of money! The third elder brother instructed the seventh younger brother to gamble and embezzled the silver taels from the common affairs. Who knew that the more he lost, the more money he lost. In just one month, he lost hundreds of thousands. Seventh Brother realized that he had been duped, and he really couldn't make up for it, and wanted to give up, but it was already too late!"

Gu Yiran snorted coldly and said, "I was stabbed by your third brother to the old Khan!"

Princess Qinya nodded and said: "Seventh brother really has no other choice, so he came to give me a message, lord, you will help a group of seventh brothers this time, you can't just watch him and be imprisoned for a lifetime I can’t even imagine what kind of life the seventh brother and the seventh siblings will live if my elder brother and the third prince inherit the throne!”

Gu is still weighing the gains and losses. Is it worthwhile for me to help the seventh prince? Princess Qinya seems to have guessed what he was thinking, but regretfully said: "If the seventh brother still wins the favor of my father, he can inherit my father's favor." The emperor's seat is nothing more than that, but it's a pity..."

Gu Yiran seemed to have inside information, and asked casually: "What if you inherit the position of Khan?"

Princess Qinya pursed her lips and whispered a few words in Gu Yiran's ear, Gu Yiran was extremely surprised.

"You mean, the old Khan still has private money?" Gu Yiran felt that it was impossible. Khan was already the highest king of Han Qi, and the whole Han Qi belonged to him. Why did he have to save his own silver taels?

Princess Qinya nodded and said: "I also heard from my mother and concubine when I was young that the khans of the Han and Qi dynasties all had private money. If someone forced the palace or a large army suppressed the border, they could still keep the royal family. The family is safe!"

Gu Yiran sneered, it turned out that every emperor was afraid of death and left a way out for himself. What the late emperor left for Concubine Lian were secret passages and secret guards. It's gold and silver!
Gu Yiran suddenly stopped worrying, this is a lucrative job!The gold and silver of Han Qi Khan's past dynasties always exceeded 10 taels, and when the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, he would have to return the principal with interest no matter what!

Gu still played with the Xiangfei bamboo fan in his hand, thinking about it, Li Tianyou's reputation is too good now, if he raises his troops at this time, it will not do any good, it is better to fight for Han Qi's crown prince first, when Han Qi Qi is his strong backing!

Thinking of this, Gu Yiran straightened his face, and said in a deep voice: "How can I say that the seventh brother is also your biological younger brother, and this king has no reason to sit idly by, let alone Yimeng's affection? How much is the difference?" Silver taels, ask the seventh brother to come up with a real number, how much is 10 taels? If you want this king to help, you have to pay the end!"

Princess Qinya didn't say anything to death, but for this amount, she had to talk to Li Tianyou and Shen Qingyi!
"The concubine should ask someone to ask!" Princess Qinya smiled, and after thinking about it, she said: "My lord, it seems that there is no time to wait for the seventh brother, and my lord should hurry up and send someone to help He! Otherwise, the seventh brother will fall into this trap, and I don’t know what trap he will fall into again!"

"This king has his own opinion!" Gu Yiran stood up, it seemed that it was time to pull Master Jiang and Lei Yu out for a walk!
