Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 103 Lead the snake out of the hole
What else can Mrs. Huang say?

Xie Jinhua even moved the emperor out, if she insisted on letting Xie Jinhua enter the Qi Palace as a side concubine, then Xie Jinhua in front of her would really dare to confront her in front of the emperor.

Watching Xie Jinhua grow up, Huang doesn't understand anything else, but she understands her temperament, which is really very stubborn.

If one thing is determined, then the reputation will be done at any cost.

Huang felt that Xie Jinhua's temperament was stupid and easy to control.

But now facing Xie Jinhua's uncompromising appearance, Huang's mouth just feels bitter.

"Hua'er, if Yao'er is suitable, I would naturally like Yao'er to help Shu'er, but Yao'er is not suitable, and King Qi is more inclined to you."

Huang still wants to work harder.

Concubine Qi really can't get pregnant again, she knows her methods well as a mother, how could she be willing to send Xie Jinyao to Prince Qi's mansion at this time.

"Mother."

Xie Jinhua interrupted Huang's begging, stretched out his hand, and held Huang's hand: "I am still an unmarried woman in my boudoir, His Royal Highness Qi Wang is just the husband of the eldest sister, and my brother-in-law. Besides, if there is nothing else, if the mother continues to talk, she will force her daughter to commit suicide to gain a full reputation."

Xie Jinhua's words are very serious, and what he said is pitiful, but in fact it is all about oppressing the Huang family.

It is not a good reputation for a daughter to be unfilial, but it is not such a good reputation for being unkind to a mother.

Seeing that Xie Jinhua was so cold-hearted, not caring about his appearance at all, Huang's eyes were full of hatred, and he stood up on his own initiative.

Kneeling down again is just a futile joke.

Xie Jinyao watched all this with coldness in his eyes.

She pursed her lips tightly.

It is obvious that Huang's doing so well with Xie Jinhua was ordered by Princess Qi.

If it wasn't for Princess Qi's instruction, how could the Huang family suddenly ignore him and humbly beg Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinyao turned her head slowly, her eyes fell behind the door, behind which was Princess Qi's room.

She guessed everything today was that Princess Qi was going to kill Xie Jinhua first, but Xie Jinhua dealt with it in the end, and Princess Qi took advantage of the opportunity to pour dirty water on her own sister.

Concubine Qi ruined her reputation and her dream, and won the pity of everyone, and the guilt of the Huang family and the Xie family. What's more, the child is gone. Although Princess Qi can't conceive again, she won't. The life of the child is in danger.

Killing three birds with one stone, how shrewd the calculation is, but, eldest sister, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
How come you get all the good things?

-

Mrs. Huang entered the room hesitantly, Princess Qi half leaned on the bedside and looked at her eagerly, her usually magnificent face was now haggard and pale.

Huang's heart ached, and he quickly walked two steps to Princess Qi's bed: "Shu'er, you need a good rest now, how can you bother yourself."

While helping Princess Qi to carefully flatten the pillow, she reprimanded Yong Wei who was next to her: "How do you serve Miss? I saw that you have been serving Miss and working hard in the mansion before, so I let you accompany Miss to marry into Qi." Wang Fu, if something like this happened to Miss, you would be considered dereliction of duty, if it weren't for the fact that you have always been loyal and that Shu'er is used to it, how could I allow you to continue serving by Shu'er's side."

Yong Wei knelt down on the ground, Tweety was the person she was looking for, and more than half of the matter went wrong, and she no longer had the confidence in front of Huang's.

Princess Qi finally said at this moment: "Mother, don't blame Yongwei, it's because I don't want to lie down all the time, so I just lay down for a day, and I feel like my whole body is useless."

Princess Qi had a bitter smile on her face: "But I was useless in the first place."

"Shu'er, what are you talking about!"

Huang's brows were frowned, her eyes were full of anger: "Is it some shameless person who has been gossiping with you, let me know who it is, and she will definitely pull out her tongue."

Yong Wei lowered her head more and more to one side.

"Mother, a woman who can't bear children and can't leave a son for her husband, isn't she a waste?"

Princess Qi shook her head, and took Huang's hand: "Mother, I have no hope now, I just want to find someone who suits the prince, did Hua'er agree?"

Princess Qi was full of expectations and prayers.

Huang Shi couldn't bear to look at Princess Qi's eyes, but she couldn't lie to Princess Qi that Xie Jin agreed.

Mrs. Huang shook her head slowly.

"Shu'er, in fact, in fact, if you find a woman in the prince's backyard, you can go to the mother and keep the son."

Huang's voice lowered by himself.

She also knew that it was a completely different matter.

Those women's surname is not Xie, how can the children born of those women have the same heart as Xie's family.

When Huang's voice completely subsided, Princess Qi showed a look of exhaustion and disappointment: "Mother, forget it, since Hua'er is unwilling, then forget it, I just want to disappoint the prince."

Seeing Princess Qi's sincere disappointment, Huang was puzzled. She looked around and lowered her voice: "Shu'er, I don't understand. I know what you planned before. The prince has a heart for Xie Jinhua. Xie Jinhua If you are unable to conceive an heir, you must take good care of the child you leave behind, but that is the prerequisite for something to happen to you."

"But now, although you have lost your child, you have kept your life. Why do you need to send Xie Jinhua to Prince Qi's mansion?"

Mrs. Huang hesitated for a while: "Furthermore, although she used to have a domineering temper, she was sincere to the Xie family, to me and you two sisters, even if the prince is obsessed with her, as long as she is well controlled, she will not fight her." Problem. But now, her temperament is quite different from before."

The current Xie Jinhua, if she is really allowed to enter Prince Qi's mansion, where will Princess Qi have a place to stand?

Princess Qi looked at Mrs. Huang, and said for a long while, "I don't know, but the child in my womb is gone, and I can't reproduce again. The prince must be extremely disappointed with me now, no matter how affectionate a couple is, there will always be rifts." It's not been a day or two since the prince has been interested in Hua'er, and I don't want to compete for favor or anything, I just hope that Hua'er can make the prince less disappointed with me and make him happier when Hua'er enters the mansion."

Huang could no longer say anything persuasive.

If a man's heart goes to another woman, no matter what he does, he can't get it back.

"Mother, this is the only way I can think of to make the prince stop being so angry with me. I still have Jun'er under me. I can't be a princess who has completely fallen out of favor. Mother, you must help me!"

Princess Qi grasped Huang's hand tightly, her eyes were full of bitterness and pleading.

Huang's heart ached, she no longer remembered those long-term plans, those entanglements of interests, and also forgot how powerful Xie Jinhua is now, so she just gritted her teeth: "Shu'er, don't worry, mother will always help you."

Since she softly begged Xie Jinhua to fail, and since Xie Jinhua used the emperor as a cover, then she made Xie Jinhua have to enter Qi Palace.

It's just that when the time comes, she won't be a glamorous side concubine anymore.

There was only coldness in Huang's eyes.

A mother likes to seduce men, and a daughter also comes to seduce her daughter's men, she won't let Xie Jinhua have a good time.

-

The Huang family left the Qi Palace with Xie Jinhua and Xie Jinyao that afternoon.

Prince Qi's mansion was in a miserable state, and it was uncomfortable to stay there.

Xie Jinyao didn't make trouble this time, she was surprisingly calm, but her eyes were gloomy when she finally looked at Prince Qi's mansion.

A farce in Prince Qi's mansion has caused storms all over the city.

Although King Qi later blamed a concubine in the backyard, but there were too many people present at that time, who didn't have such a thought in mind?

Xie Jinyao's reputation is indeed bad, and even worse than she imagined.

Those ladies in the capital who are friendly with her are no longer willing to contact her, and they no longer send her posts. Xie Jinyao seems to be isolated by the whole circle. It has lifted half the sky, but this time, she was silent.

I have been hiding in my room for several days.

Apart from getting three meals a day delivered, I never let anyone get close.

No matter how angry Huang was towards Xie Jinyao at the beginning, after Xie Jinyao's reaction, she couldn't help but turn into worry.

As for Xie Jinhua, she also has something embarrassing now, and that is Qin Zheng.

At this moment, the young man half-kneeled in front of Xie Jinhua with no expression on his face.

He held her wrist, looked at the scabbed scar on it, brushed his fingers lightly over it, but didn't dare to use any force, his eyes were dimly colored: "Sister, does it hurt?"

Xie Jinhua felt a little uncomfortable. With Qin Zheng's current appearance, she always felt as if she had done something wrong to him: "It doesn't hurt at all, and such a small wound, in exchange for the current peace, is worth it."

She couldn't help but twitched her hand, the boy's body temperature was low, but at the moment his hand holding her was very hot.

Qin Zheng let go of her hand. This time, he didn't force her hand, because he now understands that if there is no real strong enough to protect Xie Jinhua, no matter how tight it is, it will be useless.

It just made it difficult for Xie Jinhua.

Qin Zheng raised his head and looked up at Xie Jinhua from childhood: "Sister, it's not worth it."

No matter how great the benefit is, Qin Zheng is not willing to have another scar on Xie Jinhua's body.

For him, no matter how great the benefit is, it is not worth exchanging for a little injury from Xie Jinhua.

She doesn't hurt.

But he hurts.

He hurts for her.

Every ounce of her pain was like a knife in his heart.

In particular, Xie Jin drew the wound herself.

Xie Jinhua's lips parted: ".I must be more careful in the future, so as not to let myself get hurt easily again."

Qin Zheng smiled, and even Xie Jinhua couldn't tell what emotion was in that smile for a moment.

The boy had already taken out a bottle of wound medicine from his arms, and carefully sprinkled it on Xie Jinhua's wrist.

That cautious look is like treating rare treasures.

One was sitting, the other half-kneeling, Qin Zheng's concentration on a small wound made Xie Jinhua feel a little uncomfortable.

She suddenly didn't dare to look at the top of the boy's head, and turned her head slightly: "How is the matter in Xuzhou handled?"

She has nothing to say.

Because of the ambiguous atmosphere that grew out of this kind of silence, she was extremely uncomfortable.

"There are quite a few people in the capital who are suspected, some of them have already found clues, and most of them have not been found out yet."

Xie Jinhua frowned slightly: "You are the one who came out in person? How many people have you managed?"

Once someone hears about Qin Zheng's involvement, then Qin Zheng's situation will be in danger.

Even if the spies of Xiyuan were found, as long as there is no evidence, Qin Zheng will not be enough to win the trust of others.

Although Zhuquewei is the emperor's confidant guard, if Zhuquewei really finds something terrible, the emperor will not only not protect him, but will be the first to throw him out.

This is not without precedent.

That's why, if those aristocrats in the capital want to join the army for gold plating, they all go to the imperial guards or city guards, and no matter how bad they are, they will go to the border to fight for it. Few of them are willing to join the Zhuquewei .

"I personally brought people to come forward. I have secretly arrested nine people. Three are officials of the court. They are knife and pen clerks in several yamen respectively. Two are well-known fur and grain merchants in the capital. The remaining four are They are vegetable vendors who come and go in and out of everyone’s house.”

Qin Zheng didn't hide Xie Jinhua's intentions, and told her the truth: "There are still a few people with high seats, and they haven't moved for the time being."

At this time, Xie Jinhua's wrist has already been bandaged, and it is still a pretty bow.

Xie Jinhua saw it, and smiled: "Hands are quite skillful."

He stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Zheng up: "Ah Zheng, this matter is an opportunity as well as a crisis. It's right to be the first in everything, but don't be too preemptive. No matter how many arrests you make, there is no other way than to make those people wary of you." Dayong, what you need to do now is to make a decision in one fell swoop, do you remember the 'Shizi Yuan' in the prison? Think of a way to release some useful news so that people can take the initiative to find you."

"Sister, you mean to lead the snake out of the hole?"

Qin Zheng thought: "But those people may know that that person is a fake, after all, they are still living well outside."

"It is suggested that your Majesty come to a public trial, and then show up those confirmed ones, let him identify them, and arrest them in front of all the people in the capital."

No matter how much other people say, it is not as good as your own safety, and it is not as good as what you have seen with your own eyes.

Those spies captured by Qin Zheng must be known to each other, and there must be people in contact with each other.

Qin Zheng's eyes lit up: "Sister's idea is good, I'll talk to His Majesty later."

"Doing things is important, but your safety is the most important."

Xie Jinhua slowly squeezed Qin Zheng's hand: "Don't make me worry too much."

Qin Zheng's heart beat heavily, but he couldn't say a word anymore.

He just nodded heavily.

"By the way, I prepared this for you."

Xie Jinhua thought of something, got up and walked to the dressing table, and after a while, came over with a delicate sachet in his hand: "I wanted to put some tranquilizing medicine in it, but I thought you were using knives all day long. Feng Jianyu's, there are some wound medicines in it, it is the wound medicine left by Zheng Yanhe last time, but unfortunately there is no prescription."

Qin Zheng's hand lightly brushed the delicate embroidery on the sachet, the soft material, with a little shock in his eyes.

He could recognize her embroidery, after all, he paid so much attention to her and kept several of her handkerchiefs.

The stitches can be felt even with eyes closed.

Qin Zheng smiled involuntarily, showing a mouthful of white teeth, smiling a little silly.
