Chapter 174 Paving the Way
"Is it a matter of inviting Master Du? How do we change it?" Gu Mingxuan thought for a while, and felt that Feng Qingli should be talking about "curing" him, so she asked.

A coldness flashed in Feng Qingli's eyes, and she said: "During the Lantern Festival, I saw an acquaintance, he was a man of Huainan King, and I thought it was nothing good for him to go to Beijing, so I sent people to track him down, and I found him I was in contact with people, sneaky, and I knew at a glance that nothing good would happen... Two days later, Feng Yusong also sent someone to send news, saying that now King Huainan and King Heyang have started plotting .”

Feng Yusong?Gu Mingxuan thought about it for a while, and then remembered that person—the one who hung Zhao Zongyuan on the flagpole of the restaurant back then. That person should be the first concubine son of Huainan King. If Huainan King's uprising is successful, he should become the crown prince. Yes, why did you send a message to Feng Qingli?
Feng Qingli understood Gu Mingxuan's question, and said with a smile: "Although he is the son of King Huainan, his hatred for King Huainan is not shallow; back then, he was chased and killed by King Huainan's wives and concubines. , almost died, or I saved him, and after that, he joined hands with me, and I provided him with convenience, so that King Huainan paid more and more attention to him, and he also took the opportunity to send me news to let me know that King Huainan trend."

Although Feng Qingli said it lightly, Gu Mingxuan could imagine a farce of disputes in the backyard, so she nodded in understanding and said, "I see, what does cousin Qingli plan to do?"

After a little thought, Feng Qingli spoke out what she had discussed with Feng Yusong: "I made an agreement with him, this time I will invite the old bastard to 'cure', and let him give advice to King Huainan. I will make a move on the treatment, and then put the blame on Fifth Brother, and then let their people pretend to be my people to assassinate Fifth Brother. Fifth Brother's subordinates are fighting among themselves, so it will be much easier for them to seek rebellion."

"That's roughly the case, but after all, things can't completely follow our arrangement, so other details will be adjusted accordingly. However, he has tipped off the news, and he can also know their arrangement through him, and pass some false news to them , even if you fight, you can fight more easily."

Gu Mingxuan nodded, and, after Qi Feiming reported the change of the two kings last year, the emperor began to accumulate strength, prepare armaments, train the army, and allocate manpower. In this way, the court is fully prepared, while the two kings are forced to Hasty rebellion, no matter what, the imperial court has the upper hand.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Mingxuan became much more relaxed, and Feng Qingli was also full of confidence in the imperial court.

The two talked about the next thing in detail, and when the business was over, Gu Mingxuan yawned and put on a face before Feng Qingli asked, "Xuan'er, when will you marry me?" With a sleepy look, he said, "It's getting late, cousin Qingli..."

Feng Qingli: "..."

Can you still speak well!Feng Qingli was a little sad and indignant.

But now Gu Mingxuan is already lying on the bed, and then the whole person is wrapped in a quilt, only a pair of eyes and two hands holding the corners of the quilt are exposed outside, those eyes are blinking, in the rippling water, Feng Qingli can only Helplessly scratching his head, he said, "Okay...then I'll go."

"Good night!" Pleasant tone.

"Xuan'er, you miss me."

"Yes, yes." A little impatient.

"Then I'm really leaving..."

"..." Hurry up!
After much difficulty, Feng Qingli finally left. Gu Mingxuan couldn't help laughing when she thought about his sad face just now, hum, pretending to be pitiful, she wouldn't sympathize with him.

The next day was a sunny day, after Gu Mingxuan greeted her grandmother Cui Shi, she smiled and said that she wanted to ask her grandmother something, so she stayed.

Gu Mingxuan just received the queen's compliment, which gave Cui a face boost. Cui was naturally very kind to Gu Mingxuan. Seeing that Gu Mingxuan seemed to have something important to discuss, she let others go out, and only Nanny Cui was left to serve her. by your side.

"Grandmother, have you heard about that Immortal Du? According to my second sister, that Immortal Du is very skilled in medicine, and he is very good at treating intractable diseases. Cousin Qingli's health is fine, But there is something wrong with it anyway, my granddaughter really wants to ask this Master Du to give cousin Qingli a diagnosis and treatment, if he can be cured, it will save him from having to wear fur clothes in hot weather."

Gu Mingxuan's face was slightly shy, but she was also generous, and said to Cui Shi.

When Cui heard this, she couldn't help frowning.

Gu Wenqian had vaguely revealed to her the news that Feng Qingli's fertility was fine. Of course, Gu Wenqian did not say that Feng Qingli released the "self-defilement" news, only that she was seriously injured at the beginning. Later, others slandered him, and it was not easy to tell others about this matter after it was cured, so it has always been like that.

Cui was very relieved at the time, it would be good if Feng Qingli could give birth... But now, Cui began to weigh the pros and cons——Feng Qingli's chills and weak body were a disease that no number of imperial physicians could cure. Can it be cured?It is not a big problem if it is not cured, if it is cured, it will not be beautiful; moreover, even if it is not cured, it is not cured, if the emperor and His Royal Highness King Yong feel that it is a loss of identity to ask a wild doctor to treat the disease. What should I do?
This is a disadvantage!
If we talk about the favorable aspects, nothing else, the care shown by the steward Gu Mingxuan to Feng Qingli is a kindness. As long as Yong Wang Feng Qingli is a reasonable person, no matter what, he must keep his fiancée's heart in mind. joy.

However, is Yong Wang Feng Qingli a reasonable person?Cui felt that his traits in this aspect were not obvious, and she didn't see it anyway.

Therefore, in this respect, it seems to be beneficial, but for Shangyong Wang Fengqingli, Cui is not sure whether he will appreciate it or not.

If it's safe to say, it's better not to worry about this matter.

But what if, if the eldest girl went to invite her, His Royal Highness King Yong agreed to be treated and finally healed?
When the time comes, even the emperor will praise the big girl, and His Royal Highness King Yong will keep this affection in his heart for the rest of his life...

Cui gritted her teeth, and finally said: "You're right, since that's the case, grandma will send a message to this real Du Zhenren later, asking him to come to the Marquis of Shun'an to talk about it."

"Grandmother..." Gu Mingxuan took Cui Shi's arm and said, "Grandmother, granddaughter... Granddaughter wants to come to invite Zhenren Du herself..."

Mrs. Cui looked at Gu Mingxuan in surprise, a daughter from the back door, to invite an old man with medical skills?this……

"Grandmother, after listening to the second sister's words, the granddaughter paid attention to this matter, and asked Du Ying to inquire about the news yesterday. It is said that this real man is not very flexible, and most capable people are like this, so The granddaughter is afraid that Zhenren Du will be angry if someone asks for it... In order to show her sincerity, the granddaughter wants to come and invite her in person."

Since you want to give this affection, you should give it thoroughly - this is Cui's understanding of Gu Mingxuan's words, and she also agrees with this statement, so although she feels that it is not good for Gu Mingxuan to show her face, she still agrees.

"So, it's okay. You feel sorry for His Royal Highness Yong, and His Royal Highness will always know."

"Thank you grandma." Gu Mingxuan smiled and hugged Cui Shi's arm coquettishly, "Grandma is the best."

After Gu Mingxuan left, Gu Minghe soon knew what Gu Mingxuan was going to do. She couldn't help but snort, what was she planning to do?It's really shameful to flatter her like this before she's married—but she forgot what kind of face she had when facing Concubine Pei De.

Gu Mingxuan didn't care about Gu Minghe's sour appearance. Early the next morning, she ordered someone to prepare a car, but she refused the Taoist temple where Zhenren Du stayed overnight.

The master of the Taoist temple said that Zhenren Du had already gone out for consultation today, and he didn't know when he would come back, so he asked Gu Mingxuan to leave a post and come back tomorrow, and they would pass it on.

However, after Gu Mingxuan asked the other party Zhenren where he was going, he drove to block Zhenren Du. As a result, Zhenren Du left early, and the owner of the house did not know where he went. It has improved a lot, as long as you continue to take the medicine and massage, and Du Zhenren will come to follow-up visits to continue the treatment, after that, you will be fine.

The next day, Gu Mingxuan was waiting at the gate of Laiguan very early. This time, she was Du Zhenren, but after hearing her intentions, Du Zhenren just snorted and rode away on his old donkey. Gu Mingxuan drove to follow her. behind.

She went wherever Du Zhenren went, and then ordered the woman she brought with her to help Du Zhenren and run errands.

In this way, it was five days in a row.

Everyone in the capital knew of Gu Mingxuan's actions. Some said she was restless, while others said she valued friendship. In short, there were many discussions.

Concubine Shu took this matter as a joke and told the emperor, she said: "Xiaojiu and Xuan'er are indeed a match made in heaven, even when they speak, people don't know how to answer her. Zhenren Du said she was not sincere, Others followed him on foot, but Xuan Er went to sit in the carriage and did not go out, which clearly disrespected her, so Xuan Er replied, "As long as I get out of the carriage, will the real person agree to my request?", that Du The real person naturally didn't agree, so Xuan'er also said, "That's it, I'd better stay in the carriage, so as not to get out of the cart and catch up with Du Zhenren's donkey—does the real person want to change to a carriage? It is said that the carriage of Prince Yong's Mansion is wide and Comfortable... When the real person changes the carriage, he will not dislike me for riding in a carriage.'”

The emperor actually didn't think it was funny, that's how it was. Could it be that the old bastard wanted a little girl to get out of the car and follow him, seeing how big his face was, she was going to get up and take him to the sky!
Concubine Shu thought it was quite funny, Gu Mingxuan, a girl, spoke just like Xiao Jiu, she turned around too fast, it was obvious that others were talking about something, but she was accidentally dragged into something by her.

It is said that Du Zhenren replied angrily at that time: "What's wrong with my donkey? It's very comfortable. If you dislike it again, it will get angry!"

The topic is completely off topic.

The emperor was a little absent-minded at the moment. He watched for a long time, and watched Xiao Jiu step by step from a general who could only fight to the present. In his heart, he already recognized him very much, especially, he had long ago, He rescued Feng Yusong, and planted a nail in Huainan King's side, which made the emperor look at him differently.

Moreover, Xiao Jiu belongs to his most beloved life. Since Xiao Jiu is in good health, he is also interested in competing for this position, and also has the ability. The emperor thought that after he died in the future, he would have the face to meet his most beloved woman .

This time, it seems that Huainan King and Heyang King are planning to conspire against each other. So, as long as Xiao Jiu makes great military exploits, he will naturally have a reason to chase his beloved woman to a high position. The throne was passed on to Xiao Jiu.

It can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.

As for Concubine Shu... the emperor took a look at her and said that if she was cheap, she would be able to occupy the position of empress dowager for nothing.

Since the emperor had such a plan, he vaguely brought up this topic when chatting with the queen. The queen felt uncomfortable for a while. How could she be happy when her husband said that he wanted to raise the status of other concubines? But, Thinking that Concubine Pei De would be unhappy because of this, the queen gradually suppressed her displeasure.

Now, what she likes to watch most is the unlucky fate of Concubine Pei De and the Fifth Prince.

If they don't go their way, she's happy!

Therefore, the queen said: "The emperor is right. At that time... well, it was time to chase after her. Li'er is really a girl who is loved by others. It's a pity..."

Li'er... the emperor was in a daze, although he would always say this name in his heart, but he really hadn't heard it called by others for a long, long time.

Li'er, his Li'er—that's Xiao Jiu's name, and she also married a word with the same pronunciation as Li'er...

The nostalgia and longing on the emperor's face, the queen couldn't help but want to slap the emperor in the face-you are in front of me, and you miss a concubine like this, is it slapping me, slapping me, or slapping me ?
I really don't like chatting with men who don't understand style.

Forbearance, the queen warned herself a few words, and then tried to think about things that would make her happy, and then she said: "Li'er gave birth to Xiao Jiu, although she had a hard life and was unable to raise Xiao Jiu, but this is also worth it." I can't obliterate her credit, the concubine thought, when the Shangsi Festival in March, a group of old people in the palace will be admitted. Now among the four concubines, the positions of noble concubine and virtuous concubine are still empty. Originally, with Li'er's character The credit is enough to be promoted to a noble concubine, but Concubine Shu is Xiao Jiu's adoptive mother, so it's not easy to make Concubine Shu feel wronged, if not, I will give Li'er the position of Xian Concubine, what do you think the emperor will?"

The emperor shook his head, and the empress wanted to grit her teeth: Could it be that the emperor wanted to promote Li'er directly to imperial concubine?From no grade to concubine Xian, she has been very generous to Li'er, emperor, don't go too far!
Fortunately, after the emperor shook his head, he said: "This is too soon, let Li'er be promoted to the ninth concubine first, and as for the concubine Xian, wait a little longer."

The empress felt better now, and when the emperor left, she thought about it, why did the emperor suddenly bring up this topic today?It can't be a whim... Vaguely, the queen had some guesses, but she couldn't figure it out all at once. She also knew that she was not very good, so she asked someone to invite Nanny An to tell the story Afterwards, he asked humbly, "Mommy, what is the emperor planning to do?"

Nanny An said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is going to pave the way for His Royal Highness King Yong."

The queen couldn't help frowning, and after thinking for a while, she finally understood what Nanny An said - paving the way for Xiao Jiu to become the crown prince?I understand, although Feng Qingli has a high status and power and is the most favored and loved prince in the Yong Dynasty, Li'er has no rank. It is said that mothers are more expensive by their sons, but sons are also more valuable by their mothers, otherwise, How could there be a saying that a concubine came out of a concubine?

In this way, as Li'er's status rises, so will Xiao Jiu's status.

The emperor was really thoughtful—the empress felt a little sour in her heart.

Nanny An understood what the queen was thinking, so she pretended not to know, and said cheerfully, "Oh, someone is going to die of anger now. After fighting and fighting for a lifetime, they still lost to someone who had been dead for more than ten years. The woman, tsk tsk, I'm afraid I'm going to vomit blood."

"The worst thing is, not only did I never fight over a dead person, but my son was also suppressed by other people's sons,"

When the queen heard it, yes, that bastard Concubine Pei De must be going to die of anger now, she really has a lot of hearts!

The empress is a dignified person, and she keeps her thoughts deep in her heart whenever she has any thoughts. For example, she never expresses her dissatisfaction with the emperor. However, after knowing that all her tragedies were due to Concubine Pei De, her temper was irritated a while ago. Yes, she's always agitated—just like at this moment, she's happy, and it's very obvious.

Anyway, when the enemy was mad, she was happy.

Since the emperor told her this and wanted her to promote Li'er, he had clearly expressed his attitude, so there was no need to hide it. When the concubine came to pay her respects every two days, the queen This time, he didn't send them away quickly, but after sighing how time flies, he talked about the former sisters, and mentioned Yong Wang Feng Qingli's biological mother by the way, and said that when everyone in the palace was promoted this time, He also planned to give Feng Qingli's biological mother a promotion.

Concubine Shu already knew the news. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she still showed some joy on her calm face, and said: "This relationship is good. Li'er can be loved by others, so Xiao Jiu can't be hurt. joy."

Although some people were dissatisfied and some people were angry, but in front of the empress, the tone was the same as Concubine Shu's, and they all agreed. Afterwards, Concubine Pei De gave a lukewarm snort, and immediately got up and said, "Chenqie Palace There are still some things in the middle, so I won't talk with the empress, please Rong Chenqie to leave."

The Empress felt a little regretful that she couldn't provoke Concubine Pei De any more, but Concubine Pei De's obviously suppressed anger was still felt by the Empress—Concubine Pei De had been immersed in the deep palace for decades, and she was usually cold and her emotions were not obvious. Being able to force her to lose her composure, obviously, this news had a great impact on her, and the queen was very satisfied with it.

As for Concubine Pei De, as soon as she returned to her palace, she ruthlessly dropped a set of tea sets. Afterwards, no plum vases and enamel screens escaped, and all were thrown by Concubine Pei De.

When the queen talked about the previous topic, she felt something was wrong——what was the old days in the Prince's Mansion, where the sisters were deeply affectionate;

Sure enough, Li'er was mentioned at the end. Obviously, the reason why the Queen talked so much nonsense was to say this.

Concubine Pei De appeared in front of that gentle woman again, feeling jealous, hating, and afraid in her heart!
Why did the emperor suddenly promote Li'er?
After much deliberation, it can only be for Feng Qingli!
Concubine Pei De gritted her teeth and passed the news to the Fifth Prince. Hearing this, the Fifth Prince stayed alone in the study. After half an hour, he finally sent someone to come over to discuss with his staff.

And this news, the queen did not keep it secret. Soon, the people of King Huainan and King Heyang also knew about it. Because of this, they were a little excited, thinking that God was helping them-before they thought about sending people to harm Feng. Qingli blamed the fifth prince, then assassinated the fifth prince and blamed Feng Qingli, provoking their fight, I was afraid they were too calm, now it's alright, at least the fifth prince is full of anger!
With God on their side, their confidence in rebellion will be even greater!
Feng Qingli soon found out about these things, and he was a little surprised—the emperor didn't tell him about his mother's status, but it made him a little bit emotional, and he immediately ran to see her Gu Mingxuan, of course, was still in the middle of the night.

Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but smile as she babbled a lot of things. In fact, cousin Qingli was also happy. After all, he also hoped that his mother would let others know.

He is not only Concubine Shu's adopted son, but also his own mother's son.

This time, Gu Mingxuan's attitude was very good, and she talked with Feng Qingli for a long time, and it was only when the sky was about to dawn that Feng Qingli reluctantly left.

As for Gu Mingxuan, she continued to follow Zhenren Du—hmph, she still respected him a lot before, but now, she admits that cousin Qingli is right, he is just an old bastard!
How bad it was to take Joe!

I forgot just now, I should ask cousin Qingli to have a good "chat" with him about how the words "enough is enough" are written!

Although she was a little sleepy, it was getting late. Gu Mingxuan didn't dare to sleep anymore, so she got up and washed up, and then went to pay her respects to Mrs. Cui. But she told Gu Mingxuan one thing.

"Miss, Mrs. Zhang is here."

"Mrs. Zhang? Who is it?"

"The one who was the matchmaker for Qi Feiming." Du Juan curled her lips, she was very loyal to Gu Mingxuan, so she was very strict with Qi Feiming and Gu Yuwen, a pair of "dog man and woman".

Thinking of Qi Feiming, Gu Mingxuan frowned slightly, her heart was filled with disgust, and she asked, "Why is Mrs. Zhang here?"

"It is said that Mrs. Qi was ill some time ago. Although she is cured now, she is worried. I am afraid that something will happen to me in the future. I will not see my son get married. I hope that the wedding date can be brought forward a little bit..." Du Juan told the inquired The news told Gu Mingxuan.

Gu Mingxuan knew about this. Mrs. Qi was ill some time ago, which was said to be very dangerous. Therefore, Second Aunt sent someone to visit Mrs. Qi on behalf of the Gu family. If they get married now...
