Chapter 59 Puzzle
"But a despicable private doctor is not worthy of my daughter's fight with her." Chu Xinyi pouted her lips arrogantly, "My daughter is sad that she has been doing a small job all her life." The tears she had just wiped away fell again, "I didn't agree to be a child at the beginning. It was my father who insisted on his daughter getting married. He would have helped his daughter to get married in less than five years. Now..." She raised her face and looked at her father aggressively.
Chu Shengyu sighed seriously, "Don't worry, Yi'er, General Shen is a tough man. He values credibility most in his life. He broke his promise to make you a kid. He will feel that he owes you for the rest of his life. You As long as you make good use of it and wait patiently for the opportunity, you will be corrected sooner or later."
Even if she doesn't straighten her out, he will ensure her prosperity and wealth for the rest of her life.
Thinking of Shen Zhongqing's demands for her over the years, Chu Xinyi also knew that her father was right, so she became less arrogant, "Wait, wait, wait..." Suddenly she gritted her teeth again, "Father just asked his daughter to wait. If you wait any longer, the father will wait for his daughter to be tortured to death by the mistress, so he can collect her body!" The tenth lady of the Anqing Hou Mansion is not the helpless Zhen Shiniang. If she is really allowed to come in, how can she be tolerated? Are you calling the shots in the general's mansion?
"What..." Chu Sheng sat up straight, "General Shen has decided to bring Zhen back?" Two cold gleams suddenly shot out from his shrewd old eyes.
"It's not her!" Chu Xinyi shook her head, "It's the old... mother-in-law who secretly promised Anqing Hou..." After saying what Aunt Zheng said, she cried, "If Miss Ten is really allowed to come in, how can she still have a daughter? Okay?" Chu Xinyi thought she had the means, but Miss Ten was the queen's biological sister. The queen could justifiably kill her with a decree.
"So it's this." Chu Sheng sat back slowly, reached out to pick up the tea cup, and drank it leisurely.
"Father!" Chu Xinyi screamed.
"My father has heard about this a long time ago." Chu Sheng sighed, "Don't worry Yi'er, your mother-in-law is just a woman, this marriage can't happen!" The sonorous tone was loud, and Chu Sheng sipped confidently. A sip of tea.
"...How do you say it?" Chu Xinyi sat up straight, with a glint in her eyes.
Chu Sheng waved Chun Hong and others away, "Yi'er, tell me. Concubine Shen jumped from noble to concubine within two years of entering the palace. Why is this?"
Chu Xinyi blinked, "Of course it is the general who has made great contributions, and Concubine Shen is pregnant with the dragon seed again."
One person attained the Tao, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, and Shen Zhongqing made great achievements outside, so Long Live would naturally treat his sister even more kindly.
"Yi'er is wrong." Chu Sheng shook his head. "Have done great service, long live. I want to appease General Shen. I want to favor Concubine Shen with a lot of bounty and silver. She is just pregnant with a dragon seed and doesn't know how to give birth to a dragon or a phoenix, so I issued an edict. Concubine Ci has become a public enemy of the Sixth Palace." She looked at Chu Xinyi with a profound look, "Yier, think about it. With the queen and Concubine Zheng who only dotes on the harem, can this child be born smoothly?"
Of course not!
Otherwise, Shen Zhongqing would already have many children, so why would he only have one daughter now?
She didn't understand government affairs, but when it came to matters in the backyard, Chu Xinyi was unambiguous. Her eyes darkened, "What should we do?" She looked at her father uneasily, "Once Concubine Shen falls out of favor. The general will also be implicated..."
The favor given to women in the harem has nothing to do with love, it only depends on whether Long Live you need it!
Chu Sheng smiled slightly. "Don't worry, even if the child is gone, Concubine Shen will not fall out of favor. Banzai will only love her more." The confident tone was sonorous and powerful, "There are already ten princes. Banzai has no shortage of sons. It is the force that can restrain the Marquis of Anqing!" The imperial court cannot have only one force, but several forces must coexist and restrain each other, so that Long Live can operate with ease.
"Long Live wants the general to restrain Anqinghou!" Chu Xinyi turned pale and murmured, "Concubine Shen unfortunately had a miscarriage, the queen was the most suspicious, and then... the general and Anqinghou... turned against each other... …”
This is what Banzai wants!
"Even if they don't turn against each other, at least Anqing and General Shen won't form a party." Chu Sheng was very satisfied with her daughter's clear understanding. "In order to eradicate Xu Bo, the Duke of Zhenguo, Long Live relied on the power of his father-in-law Xue Yi and fought against all opinions. He was elected to the cabinet and made a marquis. In six years, Anqing Hou had disciples all over the world and many party members. His power had already threatened the imperial power..." He looked at Chu Xinyi, "Long live the favorite fifth prince among the ten princes, but he Why haven't you established him as the crown prince for so long?"
Chu Xinyi blurted out, "The fifth prince was not born to the queen, for fear that Marquis Anqing would be dissatisfied." The fifth prince was born to Concubine Zheng. He is seven years old this year. He is extremely talented and is deeply loved by Long live.
"Yes!" Chu Sheng nodded, "Long live I'm afraid that if I don't establish the eldest prince, Anqinghou will rebel."
"Marquis Anqing wants to rebel?" Chu Xinyi's lips trembled slightly.
"He only lacks military power!"
Chu Xinyi suddenly realized, "That's why the Marquis of Anqing did not hesitate to marry his legitimate daughter to the general as a continuation of the marriage. The purpose is to gain military power in the hands of the general!" She grabbed Chu Sheng and said, "Father, please think of a way quickly and never let the general marry ten Miss!" The voice paused, "We can't let the general and the Marquis of Anqing confront each other head-on!"
Suddenly, Chu Xinyi discovered that, caught between An Qinghou and Long Live, Shen Zhongqing would be shattered into pieces if he was not careful, and she would also face catastrophe.
"This is the perfect opportunity for Yi'er to help." Chu Sheng laughed loudly, "General Shen is a military wizard who appears once in a century, but he is not a shrewd politician, and he does not understand the subtle relationship between the inner house and the temple. The old lady and Madam Anqinghou privately made a marriage contract that could wipe out the whole family."
How could the old lady know that a gust of wind blowing from the temple would turn into a storm below!
"Father is still laughing!" She was the first to suffer when something happened to Shen Zhongqing. Chu Xinyi's red eyes were filled with a hint of expectation, and she stared at Chu Sheng, "How could such a dangerous situation be an opportunity for my daughter?"
"The rumor of marriage has been quietly spread by Anqing Hou. General Shen has only two ways to eliminate Long Live's suspicion..." Chu Sheng's smile faded, "First, if we don't get along, the tenth lady is the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion after all. , I will never be too small, and Anqing Hou’s marriage plan will fail in its own right. The second thing is not to marry another person after the divorce, but to support one from the concubine..."
With Shen Zhongqing's intention, she is the only one who can straighten out the concubine!
Chu Xinyi's eyes lit up, then the ground darkened again, "My father is always joking, my mother-in-law has reached a private agreement with the Hou Mansion, and the general has really reconciled. With the power of Anqing Hou, how can I allow my mother-in-law to regret it?"
"...If you don't marry another, you won't be regretting it." Chu Sheng said sternly, "After the divorce, as long as someone prompts you, General Shen will obediently write a letter asking for long live grace to set you right!"
"So, my daughter can use the old lady to persuade General Shen to reconcile with Li?" Chu Xinyi's heart pounded as she thought that her dream for many years was about to come true.
"Yi'er must act quickly!" Chu Sheng nodded, "If it's too late, once General Shen finds out that the old lady has gone behind his back to form an alliance with the Marquis of Anqing, and sees the stakes here, he may not be willing to make peace with her anymore. "
Both Long Live and An Qinghou are not good people. Shen Zhongqing has truly become a free agent. If he is caught between them, he will be destroyed if he is not careful. The safest way is to stay away from each other and not provoke either party.
If he were Shen Zhongqing, he would also choose the former.
"My daughter will go back right now." A trace of determination flashed in Chu Xinyi's eyes.
"General Shen is soft-spoken and not tough. Yi'er must not fight with him..." Chu Sheng stood up, "He is a filial person. As long as Yi'er coaxes the old lady and lets her take part in everything, everything will be fine." ."
If that old immortal really wanted to see him, he wouldn't have secretly married into the Anqing Hou Mansion!
Thinking of this, Chu Xinyi felt discouraged, "...it doesn't matter how nice my daughter is to her."
"Yi'er, don't talk nonsense!" Chu Sheng shouted sternly, and then persuaded her earnestly, "When people get old, they hope that their children will be filial and have descendants. Yi'er just needs to be calm every morning and dusk without interruption, be courteous in everything, and coax her well." It won't change." He added, "It's not easy to come back. Yi'er, go see your mother." It's better for the mother to enlighten you on these matters.
Chu Xinyi gritted her teeth.
After a long while, she said stubbornly, "She suspected that I was responsible for Brother Mao's death."
Brother Mao was Shen Zhongqing's only son. He died of cold less than three months after he was born.
Chu Sheng was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed, "My father told me not to let Yi'er do anything without permission, but you just didn't listen." Thinking of Shen Zhongqing's children's difficulties over the years, Chu Sheng sighed in despair again, "...Yi'er still doesn't understand men. There's nothing to fear about a son. No matter how much he has, he still likes to be born to the woman he loves the most."
Chu Xinyi pursed her lips, "It's too late for my father to say anything. My mother-in-law will never treat her daughter again."
A trace of cruelty flashed in Chu Sheng's eyes, and then he shook his head, "Now is not the time." He suddenly raised his head, "No matter what, Yi'er can't do anything without permission. When you go back, you must honor your parents-in-law, follow the general, and everything else ..." He narrowed his eyes slightly, "We'll wait until you straighten it up."
What's not the right time?
Chu Xinyi was confused, and when she wanted to ask again, she saw that her father had already called someone to come in, so she agreed and helped Chunhong to go to her mother's longevity hall.
…
She was afraid of the cold, so Zhen Shiniang rarely left the house when winter came. Today, to hide from Chu Xinyi, she ran out for the first time. The pavilions, pavilions, and ancient wooden bridges were shining dazzlingly in the sun, and she listened to the thick sound of The hard-soled boots made a squeaking sound on the snow. Zhen Shiniang suddenly felt particularly good and walked towards the pavilion on the top of the mountain.
In order to curry favor with Chu Xinyi, Aunt Zheng will definitely send someone to look for her, so why not go there and hide.
When she arrived at the pavilion, Zhen Shiniang discovered that this exquisite and exquisite octagonal pavilion was not open. Instead, a large piece of large glass was inlaid above the skirt corners. It was transparent and bright. From a distance, it seemed to be empty.
If she hadn't always been cautious and took one more look, she would probably have been hit to the head with a bloody head.
Touching Wan Xing's forehead, Zhen Shiniang stretched out her hand to push it away when she saw Xiao Yu sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion, sipping tea, with his back facing a vermilion pillar covering his figure. I found someone in the pavilion.
Why is he here?
Zhen Shiniang subconsciously retracted her hand and was about to turn around and hide quietly when Xiao Yu turned around and said, "Miss Jian..." He stood up in surprise. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come.
