Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 142 Companion Alliance
After turning back to the Jingzhong courtyard, Madam Xu waited on Shi Yiqing to take the decoction for sobering up. Seeing that Shi Yiqing still had an unbearable headache, she turned around and went to the kitchen to bring a basin of hot water, filled it with a towel, and applied it to her forehead. To relieve pain.

The pain subsided slightly, Shi Yiqing was almost sober from the wine, he vaguely heard someone talking, like the sound of pine nuts, sobered up his mind, and wanted to open his eyes to see.

"Ah, Miss, are you awake? Wait a minute, I'll call Mammy to come in."

The woman in a light blue muslin dress in sight was none other than Song Zi.

Shi Yiqing frowned and called Song Zi back: "Why are you here? Didn't the old lady send you back to the countryside?"

Song Zi hurriedly turned around and returned to the couch, sat up while waiting for Shi Yiqing, and said: "Miss Hui, the servant girl really can't say anything."

Suspiciously, Shi Yiqing wanted to ask further questions, but when she saw Madam Xu barging in, she didn't ask any more, and let them serve the rice porridge, then got up and leaned on the back of the chair to think about something.

He Mu, who was going to the Shi's house, got rid of the Shi's family and came over. Seeing Shi Yiqing, he said: "Miss, the old lady heard that the lady will stay for one more night, she looks a little unhappy, so she just ordered the servants to bring more clothes and food. The others didn't say anything."

Shi Yiqing nodded indifferently, beckoned He Mu to come forward, and said in a low voice, "Do you still remember how the people in her courtyard were treated after Mother left?"

When He Mu saw Shi Yiqing asking this question, he was confused, so he answered directly: "If there is no one who is willing to take the maids who are served by my aunt to her yard, they will all be sent back to their hometowns in the countryside. The family is divided into different courtyards. There is nothing else besides. By the way, Aunt Xiao’s relics have been delivered to the mother according to the young lady’s wishes."

"Then do you know pine nuts?"

"Pine nuts?" He Mu thought for a while, "It is said that the situation was chaotic at that time, Aunt Cheng wanted to go to Song Zi, but Song Zi insisted on going back to his hometown in the countryside."

Shi Yiqing frowned slightly and said, "She's in this yard right now. You can talk to her later, and tell her about her experience after mother's death. Remember, what I want is not a running account."

He Mu was very transparent, when he heard that Shi Yiqing clicked to stop, he also understood, bowed his head in agreement, and went out to serve.

Just as He Mu was about to retreat, he suddenly raised his head and bumped into Fang Fei, he couldn't help feeling unhappy, and scolded in a low voice: "You little girl, your hands and feet are getting worse and worse, fortunately it's me, if you bump into Miss, see if you can A few heads can afford it!"

This was the first time Fang Fei saw He Mu get so angry, she couldn't help being startled, her eyes turned red, her fingers were tangled in the handkerchief, she looked unwilling to be scolded like this.

After all, He Mu was still thinking about his sisters, and only reprimanded a few words softly, then said: "Forget it, look at your little daughter-in-law, I think you should hurry in and answer Miss's words, don't tell Miss to wait in a hurry."

Fang Fei tidied up her face, then raised her hand and knocked on the door, and after getting consent, she dared to open the door and go in: "Miss, the servant has returned from the palace."

Shi Yiqing nodded, and asked in a cool voice, "What did the princess say?"

"The concubine didn't say anything else, she just told the servants to take good care of the young lady." Fang Fei looked at Shi Yiqing hesitatingly, "Also, there is..."

Seeing Shi Yiqing staring up at her, Fang Fei's heart pounded, her knees softened, she knelt on the ground, and said, "Young lady has done something wrong, please forgive me."

"Since I know that I have done something wrong, I should take the initiative to tell the matter. Maybe I can take it lightly."

Fang Fei bit the bullet and said: "Servant, on the way back, this servant saw the sweet and sweet lotus root powder sweet-scented osmanthus cake bought on the street, so she wanted to bring some back for Miss. Unexpectedly, she was recognized by someone."

Shi Yiqing frowned and rubbed his tight temples: "Since that person recognizes you, and you keep saying that you did something wrong, you also know that person. Who is it?"

Fang Fei shrugged her shoulders and said falteringly: "Yes, he is a distant relative of the servant, he..."

"Speak the key."

Fang Fei trembled all over, bowed her head and said in a trembling voice: "This form of the servant is... in charge of the Gao family, he... he recognized the servant, so... he told Young Master Gao... "

A bad forecast came out from the bottom of my heart: "Who are you talking about, Young Master Gao?"

"Following His Royal Highness King Qi came down to the mansion's Young Master Gao."

Shi Yiqing raised his hand and swept the cups and bowls on the table to the ground, pointed at Fang Fei who was kneeling on the ground and shouted sharply: "Things that are more successful than failures! In such a huge capital, you can't bump into anyone, so why did you bump into him! "

The noise in the room startled He Mu, who was waiting outside, and hurriedly pushed open the door and broke in. Seeing Fang Fei kneeling on the ground trembling, she also knelt down, and persuaded: "Miss, calm down, it hurts you a lot!" !"

Shi Yiqing got up and walked in front of Fang Fei, and asked sharply: "He spotted you, and you still come here so blatantly?"

Fang Fei was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly, the anxious Shi Yiqing yelled again, and then said hastily: "This servant panicked, I originally wanted to take him around, but later this servant thought he was thrown away, so I didn't To my surprise, he found it."

"You mean, not only have you been recognized by others, but you've also been found at the door of your house?"

He Mu, who was kneeling beside him, also vaguely understood when he heard this, and shouted with a pale face: "If outsiders know about our private visit, what should we do?"

Shi Yiqing stabilized his mind and asked in a deep voice, "Where is that man now?"

Fang Fei hurriedly replied: "Now you are in the front hall, Uncle Zhong is waiting there."

"Where is Mammy and pine nuts?"

He Mu replied: "Nurse and Song Zi are cooking in the kitchen."

Shi Yiqing rubbed the center of his brows, let out a deep breath, and said, "To change clothes, let's take advantage of this place of the nanny to meet him for a while, and send him away first."

After Shi Yiqing changed his clothes and was led by Fang Fei to the front hall, he saw Gao Qichang looking around patiently and thoughtfully, and when he heard Uncle Zhong call "Miss", he put down the teacup in his hand and smiled slyly He stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Miss."

Shi Yiqing leaned over to return the salute, and was supported by He Mu to sit down, and said slowly: "This is not Shi's house, so you don't need so many salutes, just sit casually."

Gao Qichang was not polite either, and sat down back to his original seat, moistened his throat with a tea bowl, and said with a smile: "I thought that Miss took over the Dengxian Pavilion, so I love gold and silver, but I never thought that the purchased This manor is very simple and plain."

"No one doesn't like gold and silver. Besides, I'm from a poor background. How can I be wronged to live here? I just miss my mother who is out of the house, so I just came here to see her." Shi Yiqing seemed to be unintentionally white After taking a look, he continued, "If the young master hadn't blocked the door, I'm afraid I would have returned to Shi's house by now."

Gao Qichang snickered and said: "If you let you go back to the Shi family, wouldn't it be a waste of time for me to fetch water from a bamboo basket?"

He Mu was on guard all over his body, and raised his willow eyebrows and shouted: "Young master, this is not the Shi family, but you are the son of the Gao family, a well-known family in the capital, and my young lady is even more famous, so you can't bear the slightest reputation." Slander. What is the difference between the young master's behavior and the local hooligans in the city?!"

"Shut up." Shi Yiqing said coldly, "Gao Gongzi is following His Highness King Qi, he knows what to say and what not to say, he knows very well, and you don't need to remind him."

Seeing Gao Qichang looking at him with a half-smile, Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes and straightened the corners of his clothes, and said slowly: "I thought I had made it clear to you last time, and hoped that you and I would have nothing to do with each other, but I didn't expect you to chase after me Come here, you must have something to say to me."

"Miss is smart." Gao Qichang nodded with a smile, turned his eyes to look at Uncle Zhong and the others standing aside, and continued, "It's just that you can't say this in front of outsiders, you can only say it out of my mouth. ear."

Shi Yiqing sneered: "Now here are all your confidantes, I won't let them hear it, even if they heard it, they will say they didn't hear it, and I won't let them say it, even if the words come to their lips, they won't be able to say it. Young master, why bother trying to drive them away?"

Gao Qichang pointed at the table with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Since the lady trusts them so much, I can't say anything more. Yes, there are three things that the lady wants to hear when I come to look for the lady this time. "

"I'm only curious about one thing." Shi Yiqing looked at Fang Fei who was hanging her head behind her with her eyes, "Although my girl is playful, she is also thoughtful. If it is so easy to be discovered, and she is a familiar Is it really too coincidental? I don't know what the young master thinks about this matter?"

Gao Qichang smiled unabashedly and said: "It's easy to explain. I purposely sought out those who knew the waitresses, but I was afraid that I wouldn't see the lady in disguise. But coincidentally, my people only wandered around the street for two At Shi Chen, I just saw this girl, and it is indeed true that the emperor has paid off."

Shi Yiqing was stunned, and after a while he let out a deep breath, and said helplessly: "Forget it, just tell me, what is the reason you came here."

Gao Qichang straightened his expression, and said: "Although these three things are all done by Yue Zu, I think Miss should be in need. The first thing is about the missing eldest lady of the Shi family. I don't know if Miss is interested. Know her whereabouts."

"I already know her whereabouts."

Gao Qichang was startled when he said this: "You know?"

Shi Yiqing lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes: "Some people and some things can't be known by others unless she wants to hide them. You should talk about your second thing."

Gao Qichang scrutinized Shi Yiqing's expression carefully, and after a while he said, "The second thing is about your mother."

Shi Yiqing curled his lips and sneered: "To borrow a sentence from Mr. Gao, you really did it on your behalf. I just don't know, what exactly does Mr. Gao want from me?"

"This is the third thing I want to tell you." Gao Qichang said seriously, "I would like to ask Miss to agree to marry me."

There was no reason to say this, and everyone in the room panicked.Uncle Zhong, who stood silently by the side, hurried in and shouted in a deep voice: "Master Gao, this old servant respects you from a famous family, and you are even a son of a general. I never thought that you would come to insult us! It's really unbearable!" I can't bear it, I want to fight with you!"

"Uncle Zhong!" Shi Yiqing stopped his anger in a soft voice, turned to look at Gao Qichang, and suddenly sneered, "Master Gao, you keep doing this again and again, is it really because of this, or is there some other purpose? No To tell you the truth, my lord, if I am willing, I am afraid that marrying into the royal family is just around the corner, but you are so empty-mouthed, and you let me entrust you for the rest of your life, it would be too childish."

Gao Qichang got up and walked in front of Shi Yiqing, and said with frowned eyebrows: "I know, as long as you are willing, as long as you are willing to fight for it, prosperity and wealth are just around the corner. But, are these really what you want? Those properties are just a fleeting moment, Do you really care if you don’t bring it with you when you’re born or you don’t take it away after death? No, just like you told me, you believe me, and I believe it, you are not this kind of person.”

Shi Yiqing raised his head and looked at Gao Qichang: "Okay, then tell me what you can give me."

"If you're willing, I'll take you to the frontier after you've realized what you want in your heart. You and I will herd horses and sheep, and live a happy life, okay?"

Shi Yiqing's heart was moved, but he stared blankly at Gao Qichang standing in front of him.

He Mu, who was standing on the side, was anxious and didn't care about his dignity, so he shouted, "What is the status of my lady, why did she follow you to the outside of the Great Wall?! My son, you were born as a general. You should defend your home and country and go to the battlefield." Those who kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, talk about herding horses and sheep to deceive my lady!"

Gao Qichang knelt down on one knee, and said sincerely to Shi Yiqing: "I, Gao Qichang, have lived so long. Except for the emperor and general, I have never bowed down to anyone. How can I pledge my life to give you everything I have."

Shi Yiqing looked at him suspiciously: "Let's not talk about my father Kefuke, who has a lot of fate, just say that I am neither Zhou Yuli, a stunning beauty, nor a seductive vixen, and I don't have a face that can bring disaster to the country and the people. Why are you so shameless? Gao Qichang, what's wrong with me to make you make such a big oath?"

Gao Qichang said seriously: "Miss is saying that there are many beauties in the world, and officials and ladies are all over the world, but I have never seen any lady who can be as courageous as Miss, and her intelligence is better than ordinary men. But if How did you fall in love with Miss at first sight? I'm afraid it was the first time we met in Shi's garden, and you at that time were really beautiful."

These abrupt words were uttered in his serious tone, but it made people's heart throb, as if a butterfly was about to break out of its cocoon.

Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes and sneered: "Young Master Gao, you really don't need to bother to please me so much. Thinking about it, it is not difficult for me to marry into your Gao family in such a muddle-headed way with the help of His Royal Highness Qi Wang. Why do you bother?" Fei Zhouzhang, why did you block the door and say such hooligan words?"

"I don't want to. Miss married me because of her will."

Shi Yiqing rubbed his brows impatiently: "Could it be possible that you think that a few sweet words like this can make me fall in love with you? Gao Qichang, you underestimate me, don't you?"

After finishing speaking, she got up and walked to the door to stand still, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have been following me for a long time, you should know where I went this morning, what I did, and even what I said. Then, I think you should also know what I want to do, and you should also understand that I don’t have the heart to think about what you said right now. Whether it’s riding a horse and herding sheep, or being stuck in the capital for a lifetime, it doesn’t make any difference to me. .”

She turned around and looked at Gao Qichang behind her: "If you really want to help me, want to walk with me, form an alliance with me, then well, I have something to ask for your help."

"Miss, just say, your business is my business."

"Don't promise so early." Shi Yiqing turned to Uncle Zhong and said, "Uncle Zhong, go and take out the file you hid with Mammy and hand it to Mr. Gao."

Uncle Zhong hesitated to look at Gao Qichang, and persuaded him: "Miss, this is a big matter, we'd better have a long-term plan."

Shi Yiqing stared calmly: "I've already decided on this matter, you just bring the things to Mr. Gao to have a look." After a pause, he turned his eyes and said, "By the way, you stop Mother Xu, I won't let you She came in with the pine nuts to stir up trouble."

Uncle Zhong had no choice but to bend down and answer, and after a cup of tea, he came in with a thick stack of files.Shi Yiqing pointed at Gao Qichang without even looking at it, and Uncle Zhong bit the bullet and handed the dossier to Gao Qichang.

Gao Qichang took the dossier with doubts on his face, opened it carefully, glanced at it briefly, then stood up in shock, staggered forward with the dossier in his hands, and asked in a trembling voice: "This, what is this?" Where did it come from?"

Shi Yiqing looked coldly at Gao Qichang who was in a cold sweat, and said in a deep voice: "Because of the extensive involvement, the first one is the whole family of Shi's family, so I planned to hide this thing underground forever and never show it to others, but now my mother is dead. , I have no scruples."

She put the tea bowl in her hand on the table beside her, and continued in a cold voice: "I think this file is good for King Qi and Young Master, but this benefit is not given to you for nothing, I have a request."

"What does the lady want?"

Shi Yiqing looked down and played with the gemstone ring on his finger, and said in a cold voice: "I want you to help me bring down the Yang family and at the same time keep the Shi family safe."

Gao Qichang looked carefully at the file with a solemn expression, and after a while he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's impossible. This matter is very involved. If the emperor is furious, if the emperor is furious and investigates carefully, none of the people above will be able to escape."

"Really?" Shi Yiqing sneered, "With King Qi and Young Master's ability, even without this dossier, it's just a matter of saying a few words to kill someone, let alone the declining Yang family, isn't it? Young Master If you are not sincere, you can act as if you have never been here today, Uncle Zhong, see off the guests."
