Chapter 166 Secret
And the most serious thing is that, not long after, the General Secretary found out that the casino where the eldest son of the Shang family gambled was actually run by the elder brother of the concubine's concubine of the fifth prince's nanny.

In the imperial court, there are excerpts from the royal history, impeaching the five princes for laxity in governing, allowing slaves to commit murder;

But these things were all found out bit by bit by Qi Feiming under Zhang Zhi's "supervision". Every time he found out, the pressure in Qi Feiming's heart increased, until the casino was opened by a relative of the fifth prince's nanny. Qi Feiming himself was stunned when the matter was found out.

Huang Siyi was found, but Huang Siyi was also inexplicably surprised, and said: "This is my negligence, but I really didn't find out before, the brother of the concubine's concubine's brother, the fifth prince's brother, this relationship is really, it goes far enough. .”

In view of the memories of his previous life, Qi Feiming trusted Huang Siyi very much, and he didn't feel that Huang Siyi was lying at all. Therefore, he could only attribute this matter to their bad luck. Therefore, he also comforted Huang Siyi and said, "It's not Your fault, the intertwined relationship in the capital is really too deep."

Qi Feiming could only admit that he was unlucky, but thinking that the fifth prince would be the future emperor, and he had offended the future emperor so thoroughly, Qi Feiming felt restless and couldn't sleep at night.

After contemplating for a long time, determination flashed across Qi Feiming's eyes. In this case, he will give the fifth prince a gift that he cannot refuse. I believe that after having such a gift, the fifth prince will never hate himself no matter what.

However, going to see the fifth prince this time involved his biggest secret, so Qi Feiming didn't want anyone to know about it.

Qi Feiming changed his appearance and quietly went to wait at the place where Pei Songyan often went. Then, when there was no one around, he stopped Pei Songyan's horse.

"Who are you?" The expressions of Pei Songyan's two attendants changed, they stood by Pei Songyan's side, and shouted loudly at Qi Feiming.

Qi Feiming raised his head slightly, exposed his face in front of Pei Songyan, then hurriedly lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Master Pei, I wonder if it's convenient for Fang to chat in private?"

When Pei Songyan saw Qi Feiming, he was quite surprised.

At first, he still suspected that Qi Feiming was being used by Feng Qingli, but later, as Qi Feiming found out more and more things about the Pei family, the reputation of the Pei family became worse and worse, and Pei Songyan also had a relationship with the fifth prince. The same thought - no matter whether Qi Feiming was being used or colluded with Feng Qingli himself, in short, Qi Feiming will never let him go when they are free.

And Qi Feiming dared to appear in front of him now?

Pei Songyan is not an impulsive person, nor is he a violent person. He didn't tell Qi Feiming to leave immediately, nor did he let Qi Feiming beat him up. Instead, he smiled at Qi Feiming in a personable manner, and asked: "Master Qi, what's wrong with you?" coming?"

He smiled very gently, but he sat on the horse the whole time, looking down at Qi Feiming, the sense of superiority and pride of a child of an aristocratic family was vividly displayed.

Qi Feiming could only smile wryly, and cupped his hands again and said: "I just got some news, so I thought of Mr. Pei, and I just hope I don't disturb Mr. Pei."

He put his posture very low, and Pei Songyan was also a little curious about what Qi Feiming had to say, so after putting on airs a little, Pei Songyan and Qi Feiming went to a restaurant with a small family and asked for a private room.

Qi Feiming poured a glass of wine for Pei Songyan with a wry smile, cupped his hands and said, "Although I can't help myself with the recent incident, no matter what, I did it, and I don't want to justify it, but I want to use a piece of news, In exchange for Your Highness’s understanding.”

Pei Songyan looked at Qi Feiming with a smile. He wanted to know what kind of news could make Qi Feiming feel so confident that he could get the fifth prince's understanding, after he had done so many things.

The fifth prince is a person who wants face. Not to mention being impeached by the censor, he was also called to reprimand by the emperor—although not many people know about being reprimanded by the emperor, the fifth prince feels that he has lost face. Furious.

In this way, Qi Feiming wanted to appease the fifth prince, but ordinary news would not work.

Qi Feiming didn't pretend to be a secret, and directly told the news he knew.

"I heard that Prince Yi once left a batch of property to Princess Huaqing, but after the death of Princess Huaqing, the property disappeared." Qi Feiming used these words as his opening remarks, and immediately It caught Pei Songyan's idea.

How much wealth did Prince Yi's Mansion have back then? This is a question that many people want to know, but they can only guess, but they can't confirm it. However, everyone generally believes that the dowry of Princess Huaqing is just a drop in the bucket of that wealth.

Many people wanted to get the money from Prince Yi's Mansion back then, but they didn't have enough money, so they could only sigh.

And later, the fifth prince also knew that the third prince had planned for the money, but unfortunately, nothing was found in the end.

The fifth prince also secretly sent someone to look for him, but it was a pity that they returned in vain.

Pei Songyan didn't expect that he would hear this sentence from Qi Feiming today - Qi Feiming's background is really not high, not to mention the news that he likes Luo Zongsheng's beauty picture that he had inquired about before, but he can only say that he can know about Yiwang's mansion. From the news of Bian Caiwu, it can be seen that Qi Feiming is really a very capable person.

Although he was surprised in his heart, Pei Songyan didn't show it on his face, he still smiled calmly and looked at Qi Feiming, waiting for Qi Feiming's next words.

"Lord Pei also knows that my fiancée grew up in the Marquis of Shun'an, so she has heard a little bit about this matter. A few days ago, she found some clues. It seems that the whereabouts of those belongings have already disappeared. Miss Gu found it out, and then informed King Yong of Feng Qingli." Qi Feiming recalled the events of his previous life, and in his previous life, Gu Mingxuan also found out the whereabouts of this property, and then, with this property, he was able to reconcile with Shun. With the support of Marquis An, he finally became stronger. He organized Ning Haiwei and helped himself and the third prince to do a lot of things.

Later, he also tried his best to kill and disable Ning Haiwei, and it was only after Ning Haiwei was almost completely wiped out that he was able to kill Gu Mingxuan.

That sum of property played a very important role in Gu Mingxuan's construction of Ninghaiwei.

Qi Feiming had heard from Gu Mingxuan more than once how she wittily discovered the secret hidden in the portrait, how she secretly took out the property, and how she used the property to gradually become stronger.

Although Qi Feiming didn't quite know where that sum of property was hidden. After all, Gu Mingxuan had never been there in person, but he did know that that sum of property was hidden in the west side of Songze Town under the rule of Quanzhou Prefecture. in a hill.

As for whether Gu Mingxuan has discovered the secret in the portrait of Princess Huaqing, or told Feng Qingli, does it matter?He just randomly found a reason to explain the source of his news.

Qi Feiming didn't know that he actually told the real state of the matter in one sentence.

At this moment, Pei Songyan put away the calm smile on his face, and turned to a serious expression. Could it be that what Qi Feiming said is true?
If what he said is true, then it can be seen that Qi Feiming should also be framed and used by Feng Qingli. After all, this news is too important.

But to verify this news, it is actually not particularly difficult, as long as you keep an eye on Feng Qingli's movements, and you can also send someone to Songze Town, Quanzhou Prefecture to inquire in advance, and have a look there, for many years Has there been any suspicious people before, and has there been any strangers recently?

After pondering for a while, Pei Songyan nodded to Qi Feiming and said, "I've made a note of Feiming's favor. It's getting late, and I should go back."

Pei Songyan left, but Qi Feiming heaved a sigh of relief, as long as the fifth prince could find that batch of property, no matter what, the fifth prince would not think that the person who could tell him such news would be someone from Feng Qingli.

This time, Pei Songyan went to the fifth prince's mansion in an open and aboveboard manner. The fifth prince was also very surprised when he heard the news. In an instant, the fifth prince decided to send someone to keep an eye on Feng Qingli first, to see what was going on with Feng Qingli action.

Coincidentally, when the fifth prince sent someone to monitor Feng Qingli, he discovered that someone in Feng Qingli's mansion was really dressed as if he was going to travel far, and left the capital. After leaving the capital, the direction they were going was indeed It is going in the direction of Quanzhou in the south.

The fifth prince's people sent someone back to Beijing to report the news, and the rest continued to follow Feng Qingli's people.

After the fifth prince received the report, there was an uproar in his heart.

The property of Prince Yi's Mansion, his third brother wanted it back then, so of course he wanted it too!
In any case, this property cannot be allowed to fall into Xiao Jiu's hands. Xiao Jiu is already so powerful now, if he is allowed to obtain such a large amount of property, wouldn't it be even more powerful?
This is very bad for him.

The fifth prince urgently mobilized his staff and vowed to get those property before Feng Qingli.

As for Feng Qingli's people, although they didn't notice any abnormalities at the beginning, after three or four days, they found themselves being followed by others.

And soon, they confirmed that the person following them was the subordinate of the fifth prince, so they hurriedly sent a letter to Feng Qingli.

"Could it be that fifth brother has been watching me? Otherwise, how could it be like this?" This time, Feng Qingli finally didn't go to Tsinghua Garden in the middle of the night, but talked with Gu Mingxuan in a pavilion openly and aboveboard.

In fact, Gu Wenqian was very reluctant, but when Feng Qingli came here by chance, she made it clear that she wanted to "meet Cousin Xuan and ask her something", Cui Shi looked very happy, and Gu Wenqian could only hold his nose and agree.

After all, it was in the garden of the Marquis of Shun'an. Although the two of them seemed to be alone now, in fact, there were many maids and women guarding them. This kind of meeting was completely allowed in the Dayong Dynasty.

will not be criticized.

When Gu Mingxuan heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, and immediately thought of Qi Feiming.

If anyone other than himself knew the whereabouts of those belongings, then this person was none other than Qi Feiming.

In my previous life, I had told Qi Feiming about this matter more than once.

Gu Mingxuan's complexion turned a little ugly.

Qi Feiming intends to seek refuge with the fifth prince, but recently, she has been miserably abused by Feng Qingli. She really did not expect that Qi Feiming would actually tell the fifth prince about this matter—could it be that Qi Feiming planned to use this to redeem the fifth prince's love for him? Is he a bad impression?
"Then what should I do now?" Gu Mingxuan didn't know how to tell Feng Qingli about her rebirth, or she wasn't sure what Feng Qingli would think about such a thing. After all, this matter It's really unbelievable.

Would Feng Qingli regard her as a monster?
With such worries in mind, Gu Mingxuan finally didn't say anything, and only asked Feng Qingli how she planned to deal with this matter.

After pondering for a while, Feng Qingli said, "It's not that difficult to deal with, it's just that, maybe we're going to lose some manpower."

The third brother and the fifth brother have been attacking each other and competing with each other. Naturally, they have lost a lot while they are competing. However, he, in the past two or three years, has been making a fortune silently and looking after himself. Therefore, although his power is not as good as the combination of the third brother and the fifth brother, it is not inferior to any of them or even surpassed by a lot.

Therefore, it is not particularly difficult to win.

Gu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words. No matter what, this property cannot fall into the hands of the fifth prince. After all, now Feng Qingli and the fifth prince are copies of the previous third and fifth princes.

The fifth prince ascended the throne, and he would definitely not let Feng Qingli go. For her own life, Feng Qingli would naturally fight hard.

"I also have some people under my command. If Cousin Qingli needs something, just talk to me." Although she is not in charge of Commander Tao's side, Commander Tao is very capable-in fact, Commander Tao No matter how capable she is, it's useless, because Feng Qingli basically took care of many things she encountered.

It was agreed to take revenge by herself, but in the end it turned into revenge with Feng Qingli. Gu Mingxuan didn't know what went wrong.

However, apart from the feeling that the abilities I have cultivated have not come in handy, other feelings are not bad.

However, Gu Mingxuan still wanted to let Feng Qingli know that she could handle things, so she looked at Feng Qingli earnestly and said, "Cousin Qingli, don't be polite to me."

"Of course, Xuan'er, you are my wife, so of course I won't be polite to you." Although Feng Qingli thought that protecting his wife's dowry is a very important thing to ensure a man's face, but in exchange for Gu Mingxuan With such a sweet sentence, even if he loses a little face, it doesn't matter, so Feng Qingli answered it quickly, and then Gu Mingxuan was speechless, watching Feng Qingli silent for a long time.

"By the way, Xuan'er, didn't I tell you last time, I think it's better for us to get married earlier, what do you think?" Feng Qingli looked eager.

Gu Mingxuan: "..."

With a helpless smile, Gu Mingxuan said, "But, I still want to spend a few more years with my father."

"Don't worry, what is there to accompany an old man? Besides, isn't he still accompanied by your aunt." Feng Qingli immediately became anxious and said this.

Gu Mingxuan: "...it's getting late, should Cousin Qingli stay for dinner or go back to eat? That's right, the cooks in the Marquis of Shun'an's Mansion are not as good as those in Prince Yong's Mansion, since Cousin Qingli wants to go back for lunch , then I won’t keep you.”

Gu Mingxuan quickly put an end to this meeting.

Feng Qingli: "..."

What's going on here?How could Xuan'er treat him like this?He really wanted to stay and eat...

Standing up resentfully, Feng Qingli blinked, and then went to Gu Wenqian to say goodbye. Gu Wenqian saw that Feng Qingli was leaving, so of course he wanted to keep her for a while, to show the enthusiasm and hospitality of being a host. Although he didn't want to do this, but, always You have to think about your daughter's future, don't you?
Therefore, Gu Wenqian said: "It's already noon, if you don't mind, His Royal Highness King Yong might as well stay for lunch."

In fact, Gu Wenqian wished Feng Qingli would leave quickly.

"I don't dislike it, how could I dislike it? When I was in the barracks, I ate all kinds of unpalatable things. Now I can eat the food cooked by the chef. It is already a very happy thing. One must cherish blessings. Yes." Feng Qingli's face was upright, even though Gu Wenqian looked at Feng Qingli very disliked, but hearing Feng Qingli say these words so solemnly, Gu Wenqian also felt a little emotional.

Feng Qingli's words reminded him of when he was young, when there was a war in the court, he ate and slept with the soldiers just like Feng Qingli, even, Gu Wenqian dared to say, even when he was in the capital, he thought Pigs have eaten everything that pigs don't eat.

Therefore, he could very much agree with Feng Qingli's words, and finally, Feng Qingli became a little more pleasing to the eye.

However, Gu Wenqian was a little upset that Feng Qingli was so rude and planned to stay for dinner to cook.

However, since Feng Qingli wanted to stay for lunch, the Marquis of Shun'an had to make preparations, so they sent a letter to Cui Shi.

When Cui heard this, she laughed from ear to ear.

Ouch, it is really a great honor for His Royal Highness King Yong to stay for dinner. What does this mean?It shows that His Royal Highness King Yong respects and likes the eldest girl of their family very much. Otherwise, look at the fifth prince, let alone staying for dinner, even if he came to Shun'an Hou Mansion, he would never come.

Of course, Gu Minghe's situation is not good. Compared with Gu Mingxuan, a main concubine and a side concubine cannot be compared, but this also shows Feng Qingli's attitude, doesn't it?
Cui hurriedly sent someone to ask Cheng An what Feng Qingli likes to eat.

After all, in the capital, Feng Qingli was notoriously difficult to serve!

If Feng Qingli didn't like the dishes prepared, wouldn't it be a loss of face to the Marquis of Shun'an?

Cheng An thought for a long time, then said weakly: "No, let the future concubine prepare a dish for you personally? It doesn't matter what kind of dish it is, as long as it is prepared by the future concubine, I will like it."

It's true, it's too difficult for me to serve you, but if it's made by Miss Gu herself, I won't be picky no matter what.

After Cui got this statement, she was speechless for a while, then nodded, and said to Cuijiao: "Go and ask the eldest lady to come to the kitchen to have a look, it doesn't matter what you want, let's do whatever you can... let the cook do it too. Carefully prepared, time-consuming dishes will be avoided, and some home-cooked dishes must be prepared carefully. If they are well done, they will be rewarded. If His Royal Highness King Yong is not satisfied, I don’t need to punish them. I will just leave Shun'an Hou Mansion."

From Cheng An's words, Cui also realized that Feng Qingli's difficulty in serving her was really not a rumor, and she was not a pedantic person, so she immediately grasped the point and asked Gu Mingxuan to do it. Fortunately, Gu Mingxuan usually cooks, It is still possible to cook two or three dishes, and Feng Qingli must be used to seeing all kinds of famous dishes. The cooks of the Shun'an Hou Mansion are no match for the imperial chefs in this respect. Therefore, There is no need to make a fool of yourself, instead, they cook some exquisite home-cooked dishes, which can better show that they treat Feng Qingli as a family member, not a guest.

Cuijiao truthfully passed the words to Gu Mingxuan.

Then Gu Mingxuan couldn't help rubbing her head, but she could only nod as she said, and said, "I see, I'll go change clothes."

She was wearing a royal blue gauze dress just now, and a pink cloak was swaying in the wind. She was very pretty. It made her look unbelievably beautiful, and her skin was even more impressive. When I saw it, I felt it was very delicate and smooth, and I couldn't help but want to touch it—Feng Qingli just made a move, but it's a pity that Gu Mingxuan flashed fast and stared at him fiercely, so he regretfully gave up that plan.

In short, Gu Mingxuan's clothes just now are really not suitable for cooking.

She changed into homely clothes, light green clothes, which looked fresh and natural, and because she ate well, her body was also stretched. At this moment, she looked like a willow in spring, slender and full of vitality.

The dishes that Gu Mingxuan can cook are actually limited. In the end, after thinking about it, Gu Mingxuan made a bowl of beef noodles for Feng Qingli - this is really her best, and she often makes it for Gu Wenqian.

Then there is a fried vegetable dish and a steamed fish.

When Gu Mingxuan was cooking in the kitchen, Gu Minghe was extremely jealous.

Why is Feng Qingli so kind to Gu Mingxuan?Obviously Gu Mingxuan was ugly and stupid, even if the scar on her forehead had healed up, in the final analysis, she was just an ugly and stupid woman.

The noblest and most beautiful daughter of Shun'an Hou Mansion must be her.

This kind of jealousy reached its peak after seeing Feng Qingli's face that surprised and delighted everyone.

Simply, recently, under the guidance of the two nuns beside Concubine Pei Defei, Gu Minghe has become much calmer and has learned to hide her emotions better. She smiled dignifiedly and gently from the beginning to the end, without showing any signs of Jealousy and resentment towards Gu Mingxuan.

But in his heart, Gu Minghe was already thinking of ways to make Gu Mingxuan suffer.

Gu Mingxuan can't get what she can't get, no matter what.
