Chapter 46 The new champion is her old friend
Chapter 46 The new top scholar is her old friend
The emperor finally mentioned this matter, and his words were all meant to test.
The emperor's suspicion will be irreversible if he is not careful.
But Yu Yunxi seemed very calm. She twitched her lips and said softly: "Five years ago, Yun Xi and the regent got married as a last resort. I believe he also hates me. So I might as well continue to stay at Yu's house.
.I also show my filial piety to my father!"
With the last sentence, Yu Yunxi almost failed to hide her murderous intention.
After hearing Yu Yunxi's words, Feng Yijin raised his head and laughed, as if he was in a good mood.
"The adopted daughter raised by the King of Southwest has a unique personality. Since you like to stay in the Yu family, then you can continue to stay. Okay, everyone else, please leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty (Father)."
Yu Yunxi walked out with a low eyebrow.
Oh, the emperor didn't really praise her with what he said just now.
Not to mention whether she really wants to stay in Yu Mansion, she must stay in Yu Mansion!
Because behind her is the Southwest Palace, if she returns to Feng Yili as the regent princess, the Dog Emperor will probably not be able to sleep at night.
The King of Southwest and the Prince Regent, these two men with heavy troops, are the thorn in the side of the Dog Emperor! There is no way he would give them a chance to join forces.
When she walked outside and exhaled, she felt like she was in a trance.
It was really suffocating in the imperial study room just now.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, you are really amazing. You have endured for so many years in order to defeat the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister."
The eldest prince Feng Weirui took the initiative to walk up to Feng Yili, looking very sad.
"Uncle Nine Emperors pretends to be kind to you. In the past five years, we have been deceived by you. But you have planned so many things. I am afraid that in the end it was to help the fifth emperor brother fight for control of the household department. The fifth emperor brother should
How touching."
Without waiting for Feng Yili to respond, he snorted again, his tone showing both gloating about the prince's misfortune and jealousy towards the fifth prince.
It was very lively here, but the third prince Feng Wei'an just glanced at him. He had a sullen face and his thoughts were hard to fathom.
Soon, he left first.
"Master, do you think Yu Zhongcheng will die this time?" Qian Mei walked to Yu Yunxi's side and asked.
A minister who had been greedy for so much money was enough to punish the nine tribes. Yu Zhongcheng should be killed.
But Yu Yunxi laughed sarcastically: "He can't die."
"Why?"
"This matter involves the prince. The prince's party has deep roots. Yu Zhongcheng is one of his confidants. The prince will definitely save him. From now on, it will be difficult for the emperor to take action." Yu Yunxi said coldly.
Qian Mei frowned and continued to ask: "But hasn't that dog emperor been jealous of the prince for a long time? Will he take this opportunity to depose the prince?"
"It's impossible. The current situation in Xia Kingdom is so complicated, and it affects the whole body. For the emperor, the cost of replacing a prince is too high. Just wait, the prince will be seriously injured at most, but it will not be completely defeated.
Because the emperor still needs him to contain Feng Yili, the eldest prince, the third prince and the fifth prince."
It was like this... Qian Mei bit her lower lip in frustration.
I originally thought I could kill Zhongcheng this time, but I didn't expect it would be so troublesome.
"It is not pleasant to have your enemy die so quickly and take revenge. Yu Zhongcheng continues to live and then watches the things he cares about being taken away little by little. This is the greatest torture."
Yu Yunxi was extremely calm, with a sarcastic smile always on her lips.
"Princess." Jiang Ying saw her from a distance and ran over quickly.
"Princess, you have just seen that the prince treats Zhongcheng..." He wanted to explain.
But Yu Yunxi interrupted him, "I understand what you mean. Do you want to say that your prince's previous actions were all about bearing humiliation and bearing a heavy burden, but he is actually a good person?"
"Yes, yes. Princess..."
"But it is true that he has put the county master in difficult situations several times. Jiang Ying, once the damage is done, it cannot be made up for!" Yu Yunxi smiled sarcastically, lowered her eyes, and murmured softly.
Hearing this, Jiang Ying's heart tightened, and he wanted to say something else.
But Yu Yunxi spoke sadly again: "You have indeed helped me with today's matter. I sincerely want to express my gratitude to you. From now on, we will be clear-cut."
After saying that, she took Qianmei and the Southwest envoy and turned around to leave.
Looking at Yu Yunxi's resolute back, Jiang Ying was at a loss what to do and could only run back to Feng Yili.
The fifth prince, Feng Weichen, had arrived at Feng Yili's side at some unknown time.
He couldn't hide the smile in his voice: "Uncle Nine Emperors, your action this time has already made the prince shed a layer of his skin. My cooperation with you is definitely the most correct thing I have ever done."
"Are you sure that the fifth prince is cooperating with me, and not... blackmailing me?" Feng Yili looked sideways, looking at Feng Weichen with cold eyes, and his words were not warm at all.
When Feng Weichen heard this, his smile faded, and he said nonchalantly, "Uncle Nine Emperors, it's a win-win situation anyway, why should we care about the process?"
"I have said that I can help you with what you want to do. But you'd better not get involved in my affairs." Feng Yili said the warning directly.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, you..."
"You have used my reputation several times to please Yu Wanrong, secretly helped Yu Zhongcheng to sow discord between him and the prince, and...you still want to hurt Yun Xi today. If there is a next time, the prince
Isn't your fate the same as yours?"
The corners of Feng Yili's mouth curled up, and the color of blood on his lips was like flowers blooming from the other side of hell. The words he spoke were more like a huge paper wrapping around Feng Weichen's hands and feet.
The last bit of smile on Feng Weichen's face disappeared.
Taking a deep breath, he clenched his fists and pretended to be calm: "Thank you, Uncle Nine Emperors, for your warning. I will remember it."
Seeing Feng Weichen leaving, Jiang Ying and Luo Xiuran, who had been watching from the side, dared to approach.
Feng Yili's eyebrows were as cold as frost, and his whole body exuded a vague aura of illness.
Jiang Ying hesitated for a moment, and then spoke out to test: "My lord, your lord, and your princess seem unwilling to accept my subordinate's explanation. How about you go and explain it yourself?"
"Wait a minute, look over there, who is that kid?" Suddenly, Luo Xiuran pointed in the direction of Yu Yunxi and asked in surprise.
They looked over and saw a man with an upright face standing in front of Yu Yunxi.
He has a resolute face, but an elegant temperament, and has the right atmosphere of a scholar.
there.
Yu Yunxi looked at the familiar face in front of her, and she felt like she was suddenly separated from another world.
It was only when the other party called her "Yun Xi" softly that she came back to her senses.
"Unexpectedly, you actually returned to Beijing." Yu Yunxi shook his head and sighed softly, with a look of joy that he had never seen before.
"Well, ten years ago, my father, as an admonisher, spoke openly and angered the emperor and was demoted to the northwest. He left the capital so suddenly that I couldn't even say goodbye to you. Now I'm finally back." Xu Zhiyan said slowly.
, there was no self-pity in his tone.
Yu Yunxi glanced at her black gauze hat, and soon her smile deepened, "I heard that this year's literary champion is extraordinary in literary talent. His article "On Officials" attracted constant praise from the ministers in the DPRK. You are the literary scholar.
Number one, right?"
"Excessive praise, County Lord." Xu Zhiyan also smiled.
A very simple sentence expressed his understanding of her current situation.
Yu Yunxi shrugged and asked in a relaxed tone: "The emperor summons you now?"
"Um."
"It must be about the Minzhou flood. This matter is not simple. You should handle it carefully." Yu Yunxi has always been generous with her kindness to her old friends.
Xu Zhiyan smiled and looked at her tenderly: "Okay, Zhiyan will remember your advice."
The surrounding night was dark, and the lanterns on both sides could only be used to illuminate the stone-paved corridor, but Yu Yunxi's smile at this time made the corridor brighter.
Even from such a long distance, Feng Yili could clearly see her genuine and unguarded smile, which was a smile he had never seen before.
His eyes darkened, and his thin back became a bit gloomy and lonely.
Luo Xiuran said to himself: "That one seems to be this year's new No. 1 scholar in science and technology. He is still the concubine of Mr. Xu back then. He is so powerful now that his talents convinced even the old die-hards in the court. The key is that this kid is tall.
It's not bad, many women in the capital admire him, even the Eighth Princess seems to have a crush on him."
"Master Luo Xiaohou, please stop talking!" Jiang Ying looked helpless.
"Ah? What's wrong? Don't you know this Xu Zhiyan? My father asked me to learn from him, saying that he will be a formidable person and will definitely have a bright future."
"By the way, he is still alone now. He doesn't have any concubines around him. Not to mention that the eighth princess is thinking about him. I want to betroth my naughty sister to him."
"But seeing that he was chatting so happily with your princess, did they know each other before? He shouldn't like your princess's one, right?"
"Master Luo Xiaohou, really, don't say it again!" Jiang Ying persuaded him in a good voice at the beginning, but now he was gritting his teeth.
Didn't you see that the prince's expression was not quite right?
