Chapter 82 Chapter 22 The Conspiracy of Fengyi

Chapter 22, The Conspiracy of Fengyi, Part Three In Qixia nunnery, when the bright and unparalleled woman reported what she saw to the master of Fengyi sect, the master of Fengyi sect said indifferently: "King Qi is difficult to control, this is what I have known a long time ago, if he hadn't As for the possibility of succeeding to the throne, this seat will not let him do whatever he wants, but now, he actually met with King Yong secretly at this time, Wushuang, do you think King Qi will vote for King Yong at this time." Yan Wushuang hesitated for a moment and said: "From my disciple's point of view, King Qi should not completely surrender to King Yong. No traitor can be truly valued and trusted. Even if King Qi surrenders to King Yong at this moment, he will only be able to win against King Yong." Afterwards, it’s all about saving your life, if King Qi helps protect the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, then in the future he will be under one person and above ten thousand people, King Qi will understand this truth, Master, do you want Senior Sister Zheng to ask His Highness King Qi’s intentions clearly.”

The master of Fengyi Sect shook his head and said: "Don't scare the snakes. Alas, Qin Zheng is really the most useless one of my personal disciples. Not only is he unable to restrain King Qi, but he also lost his own heart. The most important thing I taught you at the beginning One thing is that you can’t let your true feelings fall for you. In terms of intelligence, wit, and ambition, our women are no worse than their men. The only disadvantage is that we are too easy to lose ourselves for those cheap emotions.” Yan Wushuang said: "Master is overthinking. Although Senior Sister Qin is unable to restrain King Qi, it is also because of King Qi's unique personality and noble status. If Master makes up his mind, Senior Sister Qin will definitely be able to follow orders and control King Qi."

The head of Fengyi Sect said happily: "Wu Shuang is really smart, this time Yu'er succeeded in assassinating the ghost-faced general, and you found such important information, I am very pleased, you have to do things well, let this seat see you s hard work." Yan Wushuang put on his back and said: "The disciple will definitely live up to the high expectations of the master." After hesitating for a while, Yan Wushuang said again: "Master, do you want to report this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" The head of Fengyi sect sneered and said: "Reporting what he did made him suspicious of King Qi. Now His Royal Highness is afraid that everything is in shock, so don't attack him. What's more, if we hold this handle, wait until After the prince ascends the throne in the future, we can also control King Qi better, and he will know what the prince will do to him if he finds out that he once intended to rebel."

Yan Wushuang said reverently: "The master of the sect has far-reaching strategies, and this disciple admires him, but there is one thing I don't understand. Princess Changle has nothing to do with the government. Why does the sect master insist on persecuting her? If it causes Emperor Yong to be dissatisfied, I'm afraid The gain outweighs the loss." The master of Fengyi sect sighed slightly: "You will understand this matter in the future, but there is a reason you need to know, who is Princess Changle's sweetheart, although that person is unparalleled in intelligence, but such a person is a person with a weak heart We all know that he was physically and mentally exhausted because of the attack on Shu, and recuperated for several years. I sent people to Nanchu to investigate, and it was confirmed that he was indeed in critical condition at that time. A famous doctor diagnosed him, saying that his heart was injured and he was on the verge of death for many days Last time Prince Yong's Mansion paid special attention to him, but his heart was seriously injured. For more than a year, he and Princess Changle had secretly exchanged songs, so he must have had a deep relationship. If at this time, Princess Changle Don't marry, with his body, he will inevitably be bedridden, and it may even endanger his life, so you should be very clear about how much it will help us."

Yan Wushuang's eyes flashed in exclamation: "As soon as this person entered the Yongwang shogunate, everything went wrong for us, and now we can't assassinate him again. If we can eradicate this person like this, it is really worth the risk." The master of Fengyi Sect smiled lightly and said: "Actually, this is also good for Princess Changle. Wei Ying has a good personality and appearance. To be able to marry such a good son-in-law is already a very good ending for her. Why bother to be attached to him?" A sick and short-lived man." Yan Wushuang said worriedly: "I heard that Princess Changle is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, but I don't know how the sect master will do it?"

The master of Fengyi Sect smiled slightly, but did not answer. At this time, Qingyue's voice came from outside the door: "Send Master, His Royal Highness King Qi has entered the capital, and the crown prince led a hundred officials to welcome him." After the grand suburban welcoming ceremony, Li Xian was invited by the crown prince to enter the palace with the car to meet the emperor. As soon as the invitation came out, Li Xian sneered in his heart. He is not an idiot. , he will be treated so courteously, it seems that the second brother is right, the prince is already impatient, do you want to explain that King Yong should be bluffing?After thinking about it, Li Xian decided that if the prince asked him sincerely, then he would not hide anything.If he only wanted to use his own strength, then he would not say a word, as long as he could not force himself to rebel, then he would just obey orders.

On the prince's car, Li An hesitated for a moment, and said: "Sixth brother, you also know the current situation. King Yong is pressing every step of the way, and the father is ambiguous. My position is already in jeopardy. Sixth brother, you have always been my father. People, if I lose my reserve position, even if King Yong will not offend you for the sake of his father, don't even think about leading troops to go out. At that time, you will be put under house arrest or removed from your post. I'm afraid it's too late for you to regret it." Li Xian's expression darkened, he didn't know this truth, but no matter what, he couldn't rebel against him. Wouldn't it be a betrayal of his father's trust.

Li An said again: "Sixth brother, I don't want to say anything. You should understand that you have no way out now. If I can ascend the throne, I will definitely make you the assistant prince. At that time, you will be under one person. Sixth brother , what do you think." Li Xian said coldly: "Then where did the eldest brother put the Fengyi Gate, and why they are helping each other with all their strength, the eldest brother should know very well." Li An showed embarrassment on his face, and said: "Of course they have some demands, but I can deal with them. Sixth brother, you and I are brothers. In the future, we will join forces, and there will always be a way to restrict Fengyi Sect."

Li Xian sighed softly and said: "Your Highness understands, you can rest assured, as long as the emperor's will remains the same, this younger brother will never allow anyone to hurt His Highness." Li An frowned. This was not the result he hoped for. He hoped that Li Xian would propose to help him conspire against him, but he could not open his mouth about this kind of thing. With a cold look on his face, he was finally unwilling to take any more risks. Now, he could no longer act recklessly. After King Qi was summoned by Emperor Yong, when he walked out of the palace, he saw a gorgeous carriage waiting there. He hesitated for a while, and his confidant guard next to him said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the princess is here to greet you. If you don't see me, It's a bit too much, let's just perfunctory."

Li Xian thought for a while, walked to the carriage, and a maid in the carriage raised the curtain, revealing Princess Qi's smile like a flower, Li Xian looked mocking and slippery, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Zheng'er came here in person. It is a great honor to welcome this king in triumph." Qin Zheng blushed and said, "My lord is always so dishonest." Li Xian smiled and jumped into the carriage, the curtains of the carriage were drawn down, covering up the laughter in the carriage. However, Li An returned to the mansion with a sullen face. After telling Lu Jingzhong the result of the conversation, he just hurriedly said: "I will leave this matter to you." Then he went back to the inner house.A moment later, a post was sent out by the Crown Princess inviting Mrs. Huo Shi, the attendant of the Eastern Palace, and after half an hour, the dismal-faced Huo Shi walked into the secret room in the Prince's mansion that was dedicated to the prince's lewd pleasures.In the rage of the prince venting his emotions, the blood and tears of an innocent woman flowed.

In the afternoon of that day, the master of Fengyi sect entered the palace to meet the empress. Not long after, Empress Dou sent a female officer, Zhao Shanggong, to send an imperial edict to Princess Changle. Princess Changle frowned slightly, looking at Zhao Shanggong who was passing the decree in front of her, and the queen empress passed the decree to let herself go to see her, this is not a good omen.Moreover, Shang Gong came here. According to the system of the Great Lama Temple, except for the chief female officials around the empress and noble concubines who are Shang Gong, the chief female officials of the other palaces are all Shang Yi, and most of these female officials are older court ladies. , just like Zhou Shangyi of my own Cuiluan Palace, who was the confidante maid of the mother and concubine in the past. She is already thirty years old this year. Zhao Shanggong, the head of the female officials in the harem, personally came to do it, and Zhao Shanggong was very tight-lipped. He only said that the empress had invited the princess, but he refused to say anything.Although Chang Le was worried in his heart, but after thinking about it, soldiers came to block him, and water came to cover him. She is a princess who is deeply favored by the emperor, and even the queen can't do anything to her. Therefore, her face showed determination, and said with a smile: " Please Zhao Shanggong lead the way." Zhao Shanggong led Princess Changle around to a Changxuan, which was beautifully furnished, with a variety of chess and pianos. Empress Dou Shi was playing chess with a masked woman in snow clothes when Princess Changle walked in. , then pushed the chess flat and said: "Forget it, I have conceded defeat. Changle, come over and meet the master of Fengyi sect." Princess Changle's heart skipped a beat, she stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Changle kowtows to the empress, see the master of the sect." The snow-clothed woman's clear and icy bright eyes revealed a touch of unknown emotion, she stepped forward to lift Princess Changle up, and said with a smile: "The last time I saw you, you were still a little doll, but now you are Tingting Yuli." The queen sighed: "It's just that this child has a hard life. She was sent to marry Nanchu by her father in the past, and now she is a widow at home." The woman in snow clothes said with a smile: "Changle is dignified and elegant, how can you live alone for a long time, I heard that the emperor has chosen a son-in-law for you, and soon you will be harmonious and respect each other like a guest." Not allowing Princess Changle to speak, Dou already laughed and said, "The son-in-law her father chose for her is the son of Prime Minister Wei. Although there is no indication of the time of marriage, it is not easy to delay this matter for too long. Changle, what do you think?" ?” Although Princess Changle had been prepared for a long time, she still felt a chill in her heart. She tightly held the folding fan that she never left, as if the person was supporting her, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is worrying too much. Changle is now accompanied by the Buddha. It is because the heart is like still water , and please don’t worry about it, Madam, this marriage has already been declined by Changle and the emperor.” The queen hesitated a bit, and glanced at the master of Fengyi sect, who encouraged him and said: "Changle is right, we women don't need to have a husband and son-in-law to accompany us, the empress empress also pities you for your youth, you still have to think about it carefully." , your fan is also elegant, can you show me." Chang Le's heart tightened, but he had no choice but to hand over the folding fan and said: "Please appreciate the door master." The master of Fengyi Gate took the folding fan, looked at the poems on it, and read softly: "It's colder in the pond, the water is lighter than autumn, and Yuanmo first saw the ferry. Lai is the place where the painting has no paintings, and the painting should be a lifetime of sorrow." .Good poetry, worthy of being the number one talented scholar in Southern Chu." After finishing speaking, he looked at Princess Changle with cold eyes, and said, "Is the princess really unwilling to get married?" Princess Changle only felt short of breath, as if there was Mount Tai. The pressure hit her face, although she was always weak, but she was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and because of her identity, the master of Fengyi sect only used his aura to bully her, so she was able to bear it.The cold voice of the master of Fengyi Sect rang in her ears: "Princess, Wei Ying is also the husband-in-law that the emperor painstakingly selected for you. If you follow the will of heaven and the heart, not only will you live a happy life, but you will also save your father, mother, concubine Worrying about you." Princess Changle felt in a trance, and the strong pressure almost forced her to agree, but the image of the pale and frail scholar in Tsing Yi soon appeared in her mind, and her eyes fell on the folding fan. On top of that, she said with a trembling voice: "Thank you for your love, Sect Master. Changle has no intention of remarrying now. Wei Ying does what he likes, but he is not a good man." The master of Fengyi Sect raised his eyebrows lightly, shook the folding fan lightly and said, "The princess rejects the kindness of the emperor and empress so much, it must be because her intentions are already firm, and it is inconvenient for me to persuade you." It turned into powder. Princess Changle let out a scream, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes.The master of Fengyi sect said apologetically: "I made a mistake and ruined your folding fan. How about this, I will compensate you with a good one." Princess Changle only felt a flame burning in her heart, and said angrily: "No need, it's just a folding fan, the door master doesn't need to blame himself." Although she said so, but her bright eyes projected an unforgettable hatred. I mean, even the master of Fengyi Sect felt a chill in his heart. At this time, Empress Dou said: "Changle, you are not in good health. Seeing your pale complexion, you must be tired too. You should go back and rest earlier." Changle suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, and resigned Ruyi, but his footsteps were a little staggered. Lu'e, who was standing in the distance just now, didn't notice all this at all, but felt that the princess looked bad, and hurriedly helped her back to the bedroom. She had just left not long ago , suddenly a surprised voice came from a distance: "Your Highness, why are you here?" Chang Le looked up wearily, but Wei Ying and a young eunuch were standing there.In the past, Changle would definitely leave with an excuse, but now she can hardly think, and asked in a daze: "Why is Master Wei here?" Wei Yingrong said with a hint of joy: "I have already entered Zhongshu Province to serve the emperor. Just now when the emperor learned that the master of Fengyi sect was coming, he specially sent a minister to report to the empress, asking the master to stay for a while. The emperor wants to ask The door master has dinner." When Changle heard the words Fengyi Sect Master, he felt angry in his heart, and was about to leave, but he felt dizzy, and his delicate body fell to the ground.Lu'e screamed, she was not strong enough, although she managed to hold the princess, she was unable to do what she wanted, this time when she came to see the queen, Princess Changle didn't bring many maids with her, and for some reason, there were no palace maids and eunuchs here. , the only eunuch was too young to help the princess. In desperation, Lu'e had no choice but to look up at Wei Ying. Although Wei Ying was a man, he was the princess's "fiancé" after all. E knew that the princess had another love, but she couldn't let the princess fall into a coma like this. Wei Ying hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and reached out to help him, and said: "There is a room nearby, let the princess rest there, and I can call the imperial physician to check the pulse." Lu'e said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for reminding that this is the west side of the imperial garden, next to it is the bedroom of Concubine Duan, please help me to send the princess there." Wei Ying picked up the princess and said, "Then let Miss Lu'e lead the way." Lu'e said to the little eunuch: "Hurry up and report to Concubine Changsun, saying that the princess has fainted suddenly, please ask the empress to pick up the princess from the dormitory of the concubine Duan." The little eunuch agreed again and again, turned around and ran away.Wei Ying hugged Princess Changle and followed behind Lu'e. Although Lu'e was walking in a hurry, she always kept an eye on her back. Seeing the look of pity and love flashing in Wei Ying's eyes, she couldn't help feeling sympathetic. It's not bad to change your mind. After not walking far, Lu'e may have walked too hastily, accidentally tripped and fell, and couldn't help covering her ankle and screaming in pain, Wei Ying said anxiously: "Miss Lu'e, what's wrong with you?" Lu'e smiled wryly: "Master Wei, I'm afraid this servant can't move anymore." Wei Ying shouted: "Is there anyone nearby?" Lv'e also yelled twice, but in the end Lv'e could only say helplessly: "Master Wei, please go along this road not far ahead, which is the residence of Concubine Duan." Wei Ying said hesitantly: "In the harem, How inconvenient I am." Lu'e said anxiously: "When is this? If you still have to worry, I'm afraid the princess' condition will get worse. Besides, you and the princess are still engaged, so it should be fine." Wei Ying had no choice but to say: "Miss Lu, please wait here for a while, I will send someone to rescue the girl." After finishing speaking, he continued to walk along the path, and after a while, Wei Ying became a little confused, and two roads appeared in front of him. Which one should he go? After thinking for a while, he walked along the path on the left.After a while, a palace appeared in front of him.He was so happy that he stepped forward and knocked on the palace door, but only an old eunuch came out to greet him. He panicked and said, "How could this lord come here?" Wei Ying smiled wryly and said: "I am Wei Ying, Princess Changle fainted suddenly, I wanted to send her to Duanfei Empress Palace, but unexpectedly I went the wrong way." The eunuch said sincerely and fearfully: "There has been no one living here for a long time, please Mr. Wei send the princess in to rest first, and this old servant will call someone." Wei Ying could only say: "I'm sorry to trouble you, please find someone to take care of the princess." After the old eunuch left, only Wei Ying and Princess Changle were still in the silent palace. Looking at the pale beauty lying on the bed, Wei Ying felt a wave of excitement in his heart. Talented and intelligent, he is respected by others, but Princess Changle stubbornly rejected him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling angry, but when his eyes fell on Princess Changle, he became gentle and kind. Although it was a pity, Princess Changle It was a woman whom he admired in his heart. The closed door of the hall makes the light in the bedroom dim, which makes people feel ambiguous.Wei Ying only felt that his mood quickened. In the corner of the bedroom, the smell of burning spices in the incense burner became stronger and stronger.
