Han Lingfu thought about the entire plan carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that nothing was missing.

Now he only needs to wait until the peace talks with Baiyue are concluded, and the conditions for his alliance with Baiyue will also be reached. By then, Baiyue will become his ally and help him ascend to that position.

Han Lingfu felt his blood boiling. He had been restrained in everything for so long. It had been a long time since everything had gone as smoothly as it did now.

Pingyang Hou looked at Han Lingfu's proud expression, calmly picked up the tea cup, used the tea lid to stir up the floating tea leaves, changed the topic, and asked: "What are you doing about the fifth prince frightening the horse?" What do you think?"

Han Lingfu was startled for a moment, then sneered and said: "If something happens to the fifth emperor brother, only the three elders of us will benefit. I think it should be my eldest and second emperor brothers. . I don’t know whether it’s because the eldest brother can’t wait and wants to have ‘no direct descendants’, or whether it’s the second brother’s plan. In short, these are not important.”

That shock didn’t look like an accident. He himself had been busy with the matter of Guan Yubai recently and had no time to care about it. It is conceivable that it must have been caused by one of his two royal brothers. .

Pingyang Hou put down the tea cup and said: "From what I can see, the eldest prince is more suspicious."

"Uncle, do you mean what you said?"

"As you said, if there is no direct heir, if something happens to the fifth prince, the eldest prince will probably have the most advantage among you. As for the second prince, if it is a 'bitter plan', as soon as this incident comes out , it’s just that I beat the emperor and the queen a little bit, but I also suffered a lot and it was thankless, so why bother."

Han Lingfu nodded thoughtfully and snorted: "Come to think of it, this really looks like a stupid thing done by my Great Emperor Brotherhood!"

"No matter how stupid he is, he still occupies the title of eldest son." Pingyang Hou said with deep meaning, "If there is a direct descendant, there will be no direct descendants. This is his natural advantage."

Han Lingfu said disdainfully: "He's just a fool."

Pingyang Hou glanced at him with pity and said calmly: "Even if he is a fool, he still relies on the name of the eldest son. But we have not planned so hard here, and in the end, this fool got Yu Weng. The advantage. Since you want that position, you must not take it lightly."

"What my uncle said is true." Han Ling asked thoughtfully, "According to what my uncle sees, how should we respond?"

"Since the layout is the same, how about dragging the eldest prince into the water?"

Han Lingfu raised his eyebrows and said eagerly: "I hope my uncle can help me!"

Pingyang Hou said meaningfully: "Of course...even if we can't let the emperor depose the eldest prince this time, we still have to let him be despised by the emperor, and he will never be able to turn around again. At that time, Your Highness, you can He stands out among all the princes."

Han Lingfu stood up, faced Marquis Pingyang, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, uncle, for helping me."

Pingyang Hou stood up, helped him up, and said: "At least you can call me uncle. As far as our Pingyang Hou Mansion is concerned, we naturally hope that you can sit in that seat."

Han Lingfu solemnly said: "When the time comes, Fu will never forget his uncle's help."

Pingyang Hou patted him on the shoulder. From an angle that he couldn't see, the corners of his lips curved slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"We will wait for the results of the three-party trial..."

Han Lingfu and Pingyang Marquis are not the only ones who are anxiously waiting for the results of the three-division trial. In the royal capital, hundreds of civil and military officials and noble families are also waiting.

In addition to waiting, some people also took the opportunity to stir up trouble. Taking advantage of this momentum, they impeached political opponents. For a time, everyone in the court was in danger.

Chen Yuanzhou has been serving as Minister of the Ministry of War for seven years. In this royal capital with many in-laws, it is said that one move affects the whole body.

Although the emperor is gentle-hearted, when the emperor is angry, blood will flow everywhere. The whole family of officials will be executed, and this time it involves the remnants of the previous dynasty. No one knows whether the emperor will raise the issue again. anger.

In the first few days, the emperor kept silent, but after Gu Mo, the Minister of Punishment, entered the imperial study, the emperor was furious and dismissed several people from their posts. For a time, the situation in the entire government and the opposition became more serious, and everyone Everyone seems to be on a string, afraid that the fire will burn them.

Even some of the banquets in each government can be reduced as much as possible. It is obviously a warm winter this year, but the entire royal capital seems to have fallen into a cold winter, filled with a layer of ice that cannot be melted.

On such a day, Nangong Mansion welcomed two unexpected guests - Mrs. Guangping Hou and his eldest daughter Mrs. Sun.

"Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Sun, please!"

Liu Qingqing personally welcomed the mother and daughter into the flower hall, feeling very puzzled.

Nangong Lin's matter is finally settled. They have no contact with Nangong Mansion and Guangping Marquis Mansion, and there will be no need to do so in the future. I don't know why Mrs. Guangping Marquis suddenly came with her daughter today.

After the maid served hot tea, Mrs. Guangping Hou politely praised the tea.

Looking at her smiling face, Liu Qingqing felt a little calmer. At least Mrs. Guangping Hou probably didn't come to pick a fight.

Mrs. Guangping Hou kept smiling, but she felt a little dissatisfied in her heart. It stands to reason that with her status as Madam Hou, the old lady Su in Nangong Mansion should come to greet her, not the mere eldest daughter-in-law.

Just thinking about the previous discord between Nangong Mansion and Guangping Hou Mansion, and thinking about the purpose of her trip today, Mrs. Guangping Hou could only swallow her anger. But since we were facing Liu Qingqing, it was a bit inappropriate to come forward on our own.

Mrs. Guangping Hou gave Mrs. Sun a wink, and Mrs. Sun said with a smile: "Young Madam Nangong, I have heard for a long time that the four girls in your mansion are talented, beautiful, gentle and virtuous. My mother and I came here to do something for you. My younger brother Cheng Luo wants to marry the fourth girl from your mansion."

Liu Qingqing could hardly believe what she heard. The Guangping Houfu wanted to marry Nangong Lin for Cheng Luo? !

Her intuition was a little weird. It had been almost half a month since Nangong Lin was "helped" by Cheng Luo. Moreover, Liu Qingqing also sent someone to inform the Guangping Marquis Mansion about Nangong Lin going to Zhuangzi to recover from her "illness". , if the Marquis of Guangping really wanted to propose marriage, he should have expressed his intention at that time. Why should he suddenly send someone to propose marriage when the matter was about to subside?

Although she was filled with doubts, Liu Qingqing still maintained a decent smile.

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, she said cautiously: "Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Sun, it is not my place to decide the marriage of these four sisters... Please wait a moment while I send someone to inform my grandmother."

Liu Qingqing winked at the maid behind him, and the maid hurried to Rong'an Hall... So after burning incense, Mrs. Guangping Hou and Mrs. Sun moved to Rong'an Hall.

Mrs. Su was also surprised when she heard that Mrs. Guangping Hou came to propose marriage. Although she didn’t know why the boss refused to marry Sister Yan to the Guangping Hou Mansion, according to her opinion, if this marriage can be achieved, It should be beneficial to the Nangong Mansion. Anyway, it was Nangong Lin who they wanted to marry, so it didn't go against the boss's wishes.

It’s just...

Su's eyes flashed, and they couldn't let the Guangping Marquis Mansion think that their Nangong Mansion was something they could come and go at their command!

In a short period of time, Su Shi had already made plans in her mind. She first politely greeted Mrs. Cheng and her daughter. It wasn't until Mrs. Guangping Hou couldn't help but tell her the purpose of her visit that Mrs. Su said calmly: "Mrs. Cheng, it's not easy for me, an old woman, to make the decision on this matter." , After all, Sister Lin is also the only legitimate daughter of my third son and my wife, so I, an old woman, need to have a good discussion with them."

Mrs. Guangping Hou almost fell out. Who doesn't know that the third master of the Nangong Mansion is the concubine of the Su family, and the marriage of the fourth girl Nangong Lin is clearly a matter of the Su family's words. Doesn't Nangong Zhi still dare to disobey his aunt? That Nangong Lintian did such things shamelessly. She was willing to marry her and enter the Guangping Marquis Mansion because she had cultivated it in her previous life.

But now, after all, I am asking for help from others...

Mrs. Guangping Hou gritted her teeth, showed a stiff smile, and echoed: "What the old lady said is true. Marriage is a major matter that affects a woman's life, so naturally she should think about it carefully."

After that, the atmosphere in the main hall became a little weird. After a few more words, Mrs. Guangping Hou and Mrs. Sun left...

After Mrs. Guangping Hou and her daughter left, Liu Qingqing thought more and more something was wrong. She wanted to discuss it with Su again. Before she could speak, she heard Su say: "Daughter-in-law Sheng, the Guangping Marquis Mansion this time How do you feel about coming to propose marriage to your fourth sister?"

"My granddaughter-in-law doesn't think it's appropriate..." Seeing that Su's originally smiling face was slightly stern, Liu Qingqing gritted her teeth and continued, "As far as the fourth sister is concerned, she is really not a good match for the Guangping Marquis Mansion. Something like that happened again... The Marquis of Guangping Prefecture can really have a better choice, there is no need..."

"That's enough." Ms. Su interrupted her and said, "Our Nangong Mansion is now at its peak. Sister Lin is also a legitimate daughter after all, and she is not unworthy of the youngest son of the Guangping Marquis Mansion. Just don't let this matter go first. The third room knows, so that the Huang family and their daughter will not be too proud and do something that disgrace the family." When mentioning the Huang family and her daughter, Mrs. Su couldn't help but show disgust on her face. She paused and then said, "I will leave it to you to take care of your fourth sister's marriage."

Liu Qingqing realized that the Su family had agreed to the marriage in her heart, but she just wanted to delay it for the time being...

Liu Qingqing wanted to persuade her again, but Su had already waved her back.

After walking out of Rong'an Hall, Liu Qingqing thought for a while, then called her personal maid Ziying and asked her to go to Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Ziying accepted the order and left in a hurry.

At this time, in Zhennan Palace, Nangong Yuezheng and Xiao Fei came out of the small study. Xiao Fei had been reading for a long time, and Nangong Yue wanted her to take a rest. Although Xiao Fei was reluctant to leave, she still put down the book obediently and went to the banquet room with Nangong Yue.

Yinshuang charcoal has been burning in Yanxi Pavilion for a long time, and the room is warm. Xiao Fei was about to sit down on the armchair nearby, but froze.

It was winter, and the armchairs were all equipped with soft cushions and pillows, but now there was something curled up on the big red vase engraved cushion that should not be here.

A ball of yellow fur curled up into a round ball and occupied the cushion arrogantly.

As Xiao Fei approached, it opened its green eyes, raised its fluffy head, and yawned lazily, showing no intention of leaving.

"Big girl, I'm sorry." Huamei walked over quickly, "I will take it away right now and give you a new cushion."

Xiao Fei carefully kept a distance from the yellow-striped little cat and said, "Then let it sleep here. I'll just change it."

"Sister Fei, come sit here with me." Nangong Yue waved to Xiao Fei and asked her to sit on the Arhat bed. "It's cold now, and the cat is afraid of the cold. This time, a charcoal fire was lit. , so we attracted these little guys." As he said that, Nangong Yue glanced in the direction of the charcoal basin with a smile.

Xiao Fei followed Nangong Yue's line of sight and saw a ball of white fur squatting by the brazier to keep warm. Seeing Nangong Yue looking at it, it meowed proudly and then walked elegantly to Nangong Yue's feet. , rub it.

Nangong Yue leaned over and picked up the cat Xiaobai, put it on her lap and teased her. Xiaobai narrowed his eyes in comfort.

Xiao Fei looked at it and felt her hands itching. When she was in southern Xinjiang, her mother, Xiao Fang, never allowed her to get involved with these cats and dogs, saying she was afraid that these beasts would damage her. s face. But my sister-in-law has always had no scruples...which means these kittens are not that scary, right?

Nangong Yue said to her with a smile: "Do you want to touch Xiaobai?"

Xiao Fei nodded, and Nangong Yue held Xiaobai on her lap. Seeing Xiao Fei being cautious, as if she was afraid of hurting Xiao Bai, even the maids nearby couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Baihui entered Dongnuan Pavilion. After bowing, her expression was hesitant to speak.

After Nangong Yue confessed to Xiao Fei, she went to the small study room with Baihui and Lily.

"The Crown Princess," Baihui said, "my uncle and grandma's Ziying is here. She said that her uncle and grandma asked her to send a message that Mrs. Hou from the Guangping Marquis Mansion went to Nangong Mansion in person to provide for her youngest son. Cheng Luo asks to marry the fourth girl as his legitimate wife."

Hearing the news, Nangong Yue couldn't help but look surprised. Her first thought was, why did the Guangping Marquis Mansion suddenly change its mind?

Even if the Guangping Marquis Mansion previously proposed to marry his second sister, it was still a high level for the Nangong Mansion, let alone Nangong Lin. The third uncle has no official status and is a concubine. Although the uncle is currently in the imperial court, if the government is divided in the future, the third uncle will be just a commoner. How could the Guangping Houfu fall in love with Nangong Lin...

Nangong Yue frowned slightly, as the saying goes: There must be monsters when something goes wrong. If the Guangping Marquis Mansion is not really interested in Nangong Lin, it must have another purpose...

In this way, Nangong Mansion can make them willing to sacrifice their legitimate son's marriage to get married. Could it be... Nangong Yue's expression changed, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.

Is it because of the turmoil in the court these days?

"I vaguely remember that the girl from the third room of the Guangping Marquis Mansion married the legitimate son of the side room of the Chen family..." Thanks to the blessing of the host, in order not to make a mistake, Nangong Yue carefully memorized all the things in the royal capital. Complicated in-law relationships. As she spoke, she felt that this was the most likely guess, and continued: "The Chen family has been very involved recently, especially in the past few days, the emperor has dismissed several people from their posts, all of whom were close to Chen Shangshu. , since the Guangping Marquis Mansion is related by marriage to the Chen family, I think they are afraid..."

At this juncture, the Guangping Marquis Mansion probably wanted to find someone to rely on so that if something happened, there would be room for relaxation.

Nowadays, the Nangong Mansion is in great favor. The eldest uncle Nangong Qin is highly valued. The second brother Nangong Xin is the companion of the fifth prince and has to marry the eldest princess Yongyang. The eldest sister Nangong Cheng is the eldest son of the Jian'an Bo Mansion. Madam, and she is not only the princess of Yaoguang Princess granted by the emperor, but also the Crown Princess of Zhennan.

The Guangping Marquis Mansion most likely wants to protect itself through marriage with the Nangong Mansion. Although his uncle Nangong Qin rejected his second sister's marriage early on. But Nangong Lin had caused such an incident before, so Guangping Hou Mansion naturally had no choice but to give in to Nangong Lin.

Even if the Guangping Houfu was not implicated in the end, she would just marry an unsuitable young daughter-in-law instead of a clan daughter-in-law. Compared with the rise and fall of the family, it really is nothing. On the contrary, you can still take concubines in the future.

In her opinion, Nangong Mansion should not be involved in this whirlpool, but she doesn’t know what uncle Nangong Qin’s attitude is...

Nangong Yue frowned for a moment and asked, "Baihui, where is Ziying now?"

"Ziying passed the message and has gone back."

Nangong Yue nodded slightly and said, "Bring a box of snacks back to Nangong Mansion to give to my mother. Ask her what the mansion...especially my eldest uncle's proposed marriage to Guangping Marquis Mansion thinks about. ”

Baihui naturally understood that bringing snacks back was obviously just an excuse. The important thing was to know Nangong Mansion’s current plans.

"Yes, Crown Princess." Baihui responded, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the carriage. After burning incense, she left the Zhennan Palace in the carriage.

The wheels made a monotonous and regular sound and rolled forward. I don’t know how long it took... Suddenly there was a burst of noise from the street outside, mixed with the exclamations of pedestrians, trivial discussions, and messy footsteps. ...It seems like something happened.

Baihui was about to ask the coachman when she noticed that the carriage had slowed down. Then she heard the coachman say hesitantly: "Miss Baihui, something seems to have happened ahead."

"What happened?" Baihui opened the curtains of the carriage and looked outside, only to see a group of Jinyi guards in Feiyu uniforms rushing into an alley

"This is..." Baihui felt uneasy because the An Yihou Mansion was in this alley!

The coachman said to himself: "Recently, in the royal capital, there are often cases where the imperial guards suddenly take someone away. I don’t know whose turn it will be this time..."

Baihui let out a soft cry, jumped off the carriage in a hurry, and squeezed into the alley along with the crowd.

I saw the Anyi Hou Mansion dozens of feet away, surrounded inside and out by Jin Yiwei. They all had embroidered spring knives on their waists and looked cold.

Many people with good intentions gathered in the whole street to stop and watch, all whispering and discussing:

"Isn't this the Anyihou Mansion in front of you? What are these officers and soldiers here to do?"

"What else are you doing here? Look at how vicious they all are, they must be ransacking your home!"

"No way? Wasn't An Yihou rehabilitated?"

"So what? The emperor's heart is like that of God, and he will fall out whenever he wants!"

"That's right! When I was a high-ranking general in the imperial court, I protected the tranquility of my Dayu border. I didn't just confiscate my house..."

"..."

They talked about it and only dared to whisper. You must know that the Jin Yiwei is there, and if you are not careful, you will lose your head.

However, Baihui is a martial arts practitioner with sharp ears and eyesight. These sounds still passed into her ears clearly. Baihui was confused and confused after hearing each sentence. How did that happen! There is now only one young master left in the official family. The young master has finally cleared the grievances of the official family. After all the hardships, the young master has finally succeeded. Now what on earth is the emperor trying to do?

"Da da da..."

At this time, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from the front, and another group of guards in golden uniforms arrived in front of An Yihou's mansion.

Zhao Jiaxiang, a fellow guard guarding the main entrance, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen you, sir."

The person who led the team was Lu Huaining, the commander of the Jinyiwei. He was seen riding a tall horse. He slightly raised his head and asked, "How are the people inside now?"

Zhao Jiaxiang replied respectfully: "Sir, please rest assured, the Hou Mansion has been airtightly surrounded by us, and the people inside will definitely have trouble flying!"

With no expression on his face, Lu Huaining jumped off his horse neatly, then waved his hand and shouted: "Bump the door!"

Several tall and strong Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" They hit the door several times in a row, and the door was opened violently. Lu Huaining was the first to walk into the mansion, followed closely by the other Jin Yiwei. Swarming in...

Baihui's pupils shrank and her expression changed drastically. She hurried back to the carriage, lowered the curtain, and ordered the coachman: "Quick, let's go back to the palace first."

Something big happened! She had to go back and report it to the Crown Princess!

The coachman responded, immediately changed direction, and sped towards the Zhennan Palace.

As soon as she returned home, Baihui hurriedly went to see Nangong Yue. Seeing her anxious look, Nangong Yue quickly took her into the small study, and then Baihui told Nangong everything she saw. Yue.

The news that Baihui brought back was so shocking that Nangong Yue could no longer maintain her composure. Her face turned pale and she ordered: "Baihui, call Zhu Xing to see me in the outer study room!"

Baihui responded and hurriedly went to the front yard to find Zhu Xing.

Nangong Yue hurriedly put on her cloak and asked Huamei to tell Xiao Fei who was taking a break during the banquet to tell her to come back as soon as she went.

When Nangong Yue arrived at the outer study, Zhu Xing was already waiting for her there. The two of them entered the study together, and before he could salute, Nangong Yue couldn't wait to ask: "Have you heard about the An Yi Hou Mansion?"

Zhu Xing solemnly raised his hands and replied: "Concubine, my subordinates have also just received the news. When the Third Division was interrogating Chen Shangshu's case, they obtained the emperor's order to search the Chen Mansion, and in the secret room of Chen Shangshu's study. A letter was found in the cabinet. The content of the letter is not yet known. We only know that when the Minister of Punishment presented the letter to the emperor, the emperor was furious and immediately ordered Lu Huaining, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, to lead people to search the Anyihou Mansion. . An Yihou was also ordered to be taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

Nangong Yue’s face was as sinking as water.

Although I don't know what was written in the letter, since Chen Shangshu was impeached for "colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty", it is obvious that the content of the letter should be related to the remnants of the previous dynasty.

This is a game, a cleverly arranged game.

The person who arranged the plan has such a sinister mind and a vicious plan!

Back then, the official family was framed for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the whole family was punished. Even though they were later rehabilitated, the emperor was somewhat afraid of Guan Yubai. The person who arranged this plan wanted to take advantage of this fear.

But now, I still don’t know what the emperor’s thoughts are...

Nangong Yue frowned and thought for a moment, then asked: "Zhu Xing, is there any way you can get into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to meet Marquis An Yi?"

Zhu Xing naturally knew about Guan Yubai’s alliance with his own prince, and he respectfully replied to Nangong Yue’s question: “Your Majesty, if you want to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments to rescue people, then I’m afraid it will be difficult, but if you just go It’s quite easy to meet people inside.”

"You can find a way to meet An Yihou and ask what we can do in this matter."

As the saying goes, "Eat a bite and gain wisdom." Nangong Yue believed that with Guan Yubai's wisdom, he would not let the same thing happen twice... In any case, you must know his thoughts before you can make long-term plans... …

"Yes, Crown Princess." Just as Zhu Xing accepted the offer, he heard a slight noise coming from outside the window.

Zhu Xing frowned and shouted alertly, "Who?!" As he spoke, a pair of sharp eyes shot towards the window like lightning, as did Baihui beside Nangong Yue, who was originally guarding outside the study. The lilies rushed inside.

"It's me!" A familiar and cold male voice sounded, and then, a stern-faced young man in black climbed through the window neatly and entered the room, and raised his hand to Nangong Yue as a greeting.

With Xiaosi's skill, of course he would not be discovered by Zhu Xing so easily. He deliberately made a noise to attract their attention.

Zhu Xing, Baihui and Lily all breathed a sigh of relief. Normally, Lily would have taught Xiaosi a lesson, but now that something happened to the young master, she had no intention of arguing with Xiaosi. She glanced at Xiao Si and quietly retreated to the outer study room.

Nangong Yue said to Xiaosi worriedly: "Xiaosi, why are you here? But your young master..."

Xiao Si took out a letter from his arms and handed it directly to Nangong Yue without hesitation, "Young Master asked me to send you a letter."
