Resourceful beauty

Chapter 115
"You, why are you here?"

Hearing that someone asked to see her, Su Yuan simply tidied up and went to the meeting room in the front yard. When she saw that person, Su Yuan almost cried out in shock.

More than two years ago, this same person found her with a letter in private. After reading the letter, she immediately found someone to open the way.

When the five thousand imperial army besieged Jiangbei Prince Qi's Mansion, it was with the help of that man that Su Yuan managed to escape from Prince Qi's Mansion with her three children.

No one expected that the father and son of King Qi who entered the prison could escape, and the letters that he put into King Qi's study while taking advantage of the chaos were later confirmed not to be from King Qi himself.

Fortunately, everyone was happy in the end. Although I had done many unspeakable things, fortunately no one found out, and even King Qi was kept in the dark.

Seeing that person at this moment, Su Yuan knew that there was no one nearby, so she still looked around several times with guilt, for fear of being seen.

"Princess, you can rest assured that the villain came to see the concubine at the order of my master. Now in this capital, no one knows the villain, and what happened back then has become a thing of the past. No one will mention it or remember it. Princess Wang can put her heart in her stomach."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a long face and triangular eyes, and a few sparse goatees hanging from his chin. He looked like a rascal in the crowd, absolutely ordinary People don't want to take a second look.

"Of course I believe Guan Shi's words..."

After casually responding, Su Yuan felt a little flustered in her heart. She didn't know what this person wanted to do when she found her this time.

Guan Shi glanced at Su Yuan's face indifferently, drank tea calmly, and waited until Su Yuan lost her composure, then smiled and said: "The last thing failed, my master also I feel sorry for Wangfei, so now is the right time for my master to let the young one come, maybe this time is an opportunity for my master to do something to compensate Wangfei."

The stone in her heart suddenly fell, and Su Yuan rebuked deliberately with anger on her face: "What did you say at the time? As long as his father and son's lives were killed, we, mother and son, would never be implicated. In the end, it was Such a big crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy. Fortunately, there is no danger, otherwise, we will flee to the ends of the earth, and I am afraid that we will be arrested and brought back to the guillotine. This time, no matter what you say, I will not believe it , Prince Qi’s mansion has ended up in such a land, how could I know that it was not your plan, how did I get any benefit?"

What Su Yuan said was just and righteous, as if there was no room for negotiation at all. The steward Qi rolled his eyes, but smiled indifferently, "Princess, calm down. This time, the princess doesn't need to do anything, just wait and see, wait and see." Let my master present his sincerity before your eyes, how about it?"

"What do you mean?"

The clenched hands couldn't help shrinking into the armholes, Su Yuan asked nervously.

Guan Qi did not pretend to be a joke, he looked around and felt it again, seeing that there were no idle people waiting outside the hall, Fang lowered his voice and replied: "King Qi understands the righteousness and cares about the people's feelings, and went to Wanzhou as an imperial envoy. , but now the plague is spreading in Wanzhou, you know, the plague is short-sighted, if King Qi goes here and never comes back, the princess said, who will fall into the hands of this huge Prince Qi mansion?"

"But there is still a son..."

As soon as Su Yuan's words were uttered, she broke her mouth: If Fang Zhengjun also disappeared in this plague, then the Holy Majesty's follow-up favor in order to appease Prince Qi and his son, the hereditary title that Prince Qi's mansion originally had Forget it, didn't it all fall on his own son?
Su Yuan also had love for King Qi, but during those years in Prince Qi's mansion in Jiangbei, seeing King Qi give most of his love to Su Xin, there was only such a space in her heart, but she still wanted herself and several side concubines. When the concubine went to share, Su Yuan's love gradually faded away.

After painstaking efforts to give birth to a son and two daughters, she finally had a guarantee for the rest of her life, so Su Yuan began to plan for everything after that. She originally thought that if she killed Su Yuan's mother and son, as long as her son could become the heir of King Qi, King Qi would die a few years later. It would be good if her son became the next King Qi, but seeing that King Qi relied more and more on Fang Zhengjun, while her son seemed more and more useless, Su Yuan also felt a little resentful towards King Qi.

So, to frame King Qi, Su Yuan became an accomplice out of impulsiveness.

The matter came to light, Prince Qi and his son were taken overnight to the prison in Funan City, and during those days when more than 200 people in Prince Qi's mansion were all imprisoned in Prince Qi's mansion, Su Yuan's mother and son fled outside, not without regret. The mother and son have also become fugitives. Even with the protection of the Su Mansion, it is difficult to have such a glorious status as before. However, at that moment, Su Yuan could only run a little farther to save her life.

At this moment, Guanshi Qi's bewitching words made Su Yuan's remorseful and resentful heart harden. She only thought with all her heart that if King Qi and Fang Zhengjun couldn't come back, Prince Qi's mansion would be a real mess. It is the world of my own mother and son. At that time, whether it is the enchanting Concubine Yun or her lucky son, they are all in the palm of my hand, and how to deal with it depends on my own mood.

"What are you going to do?"

Su Yuan asked calmly.

Manager Qi said confidently: "In three days, there will be a report from Wanzhou to the imperial court. King Qi is trapped in the epidemic area and lost his news. He is afraid of dying. At that time, the court will send another person to Wanzhou. We will go to Wanzhou We arrange our people among the people, so whether the news is true or not, in the end, Prince Qi has only one way, which is the way the princess wishes. As for the princess, it is only necessary to say the right thing at the right time. If so, let Prince Qi's son also go to Wanzhou, and get rid of him on the way there or back, it can be regarded as our master's apology to the princess."

Seemingly seamless, every move of the other party seems to be for her own good, but Su Yuan still feels a little uneasy.

Looking at Guanshi Qi suspiciously, Su Yuan asked in a deep voice, "What about you? I don't believe you have nothing to ask for."

"The princess is really quick to speak..."

The sycophant praised it, and the steward Qi took out a piece of paper from the armband, Mammy Zhao stepped forward to take it, and handed it to Su Yuan.

When it was opened, it was a picture, judging from the shape of the flowing cloud, it looked like a jade pendant, and on the jade pendant was a picture of a roaring tiger.

"This is the prince's jade pendant..."

With just one glance, Su Yuan could tell that King Qi belonged.

Guanshi Qi nodded and said: "King Qi has [-] iron cavalry in his hands, which were handed over to the emperor two years ago. This is well known to the world, but what the world doesn't know is that King Qi still has a part of the army in his hands, and this part , I’m afraid even the current Holy Majesty doesn’t know about it.”

"Qi Guan is cautious."

Su Yuan put the papers in her hands back on the table, with a worried expression on her face.

Whoever said that King Qi still has his own power in his hands, I'm afraid Su Yuan would not be happy. If such words spread to the palace, Prince Qi's mansion would not be able to bear another suspicion and cleansing.

Guanshi Qi smiled disapprovingly, "This is an old story, and it is reasonable for the princess not to know."

After speaking, Qi Guanshi roughly talked about the past.

When the first emperor was alive, he had a lot of trust in King Qi, so King Qi held a heavy army. Later, the current Shengshang Fuyi, who was still a prince at that time, was established as the prince. Military power, went to Jiangbei to become the prince of wealth.

But the military power that he held in the army back then was not something that could be handed in all at once. The part that was not handed in in time was also King Qi's last life-saving talisman, and that part was privately handed over by King Qi. The dismissal was arranged in military camps in various places. Over the years, it can be regarded as a small scale.

King Qi didn't have any rebellious thoughts, so those unknown forces did not pose a threat to the new emperor or the court.

However, once King Qi wants to do something, those people will gather together and become King Qi's greatest assistance.

This is what Qi Guanshi's master has always hoped to have.

Su Yuan didn't know much about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and Qi Guanshi said it seriously, so Su Yuan also kept her doubts in her heart for the time being. At this moment, she seemed to understand a little bit, "Then according to your intentions, this The jade pendant is a talisman for gathering those people, do you want me to help you find this jade pendant?"

Guan Shi stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

"Let me think about it, you go back first..."

The information she got was too much and complicated, and Su Yuan couldn't digest it for a while, so she dismissed the steward Qi and went back to the inner hall to think about it.

In the evening, the brother and sister Fang Zhengjun, who followed Emperor Rui'an to the summer palace, returned to Prince Qi's mansion.

In the main hall of the Qiu Mansion, no one who had heard the news of the marriage had any unusually happy expressions. Only Qiu Ming, who knew nothing, happily pulled Qiu Shumin's sleeve and said with a grin: "Sister, do you want to marry me?" Are you married? Tell me what you want, and I will ask Lanxi to prepare it and give it to you..."

With a stabbing pain in his heart, Qiu Shumin waved Qiu Ming's hand away angrily. Qiu Ming turned back to look at his mother with some grievances, and saw his mother shaking his head at him as if to comfort him. Lan Xi blinked.

But not a while after Qiu Ming returned to Wutong Garden, Qiu Shumin came looking for him.

After a few words with Qiu Ming, Qiu Shumin called Lanxi to see her off before leaving.

After leaving the courtyard gate, seeing Qiu Ming lying on the window and looking around uneasy, Qiu Shumin stopped, looked back at Lan Xi and said, "King Qi lost his voice in Huainan, it's more or less ominous, you are from the palace anyway, take some time to go back these few days Let's take a look, it can be regarded as a complete friendship between your master and servant, so as not to let people say that our Qiu residence is impersonal."

Well done, how could she talk to herself like that?

There were many doubts in his heart, and thinking of what Qiu Shumin had said just now, Lan Xi was stunned for a moment, Fang leaned over to thank her, and got up again, Qiu Shumin's figure had disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

　Have a nice week everyone~~~
