Chapter 398 Chu Pingsheng is the great master of Xihu?
The legs tightly together, the embarrassed look in his eyes, and the slightly shrugged shoulders showed that Si Lili was very nervous.
Today Ye Ling'er came to the concierge and scolded her, saying that if she liked Chu Pingsheng, she should persuade him to call off his marriage to Lin Wan'er, which would be good for the three of them.
Ye Ling'er also said that although Lin Gong and Lin Waner were not born to the same mother, the two brothers and sisters had a very good relationship. Chu Pingsheng's master Bai Feng killed Lin Gong, and Chu Pingsheng still insisted on marrying Lin Waner. This What's it called? This is called immorality smoking, this is called going too far to deceive others.
Si Lili was confused by this incident.
She was not a fool. When she was in the Overwatch Council dungeon, the behavior of Fan Xian, Yuan Hongdao, and Chen Pingping gave her a feeling that Lin Gong's death was probably inseparable from Fan Xian.
Before Ye Ling'er came, she found out from the servant who delivered mangoes at the Vegetable Inspection Department that Chu Pingsheng was strongly involved in Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er's engagement, and thought he said he only saved her to sleep with the drunken fairy. It was a joke, in fact he was no different from those who wanted to use her to deal with Fan Xian.
In less than three hours, Ye Linger's words plunged her into chaos.
If Chu Pingsheng was deceiving Lin Ruofu, then why did he help Fan Xian withstand this scam? Unless he doesn't really want to marry Lin Wan'er.
Chu Pingsheng walked over and pulled her into his arms. Si Lili stiffened and tilted his head to the side.
"What are you just?"
What is she just?
She is very hesitant and embarrassed now.
Ye Ling'er not only told Chu Pingsheng that he had offended Manchu Wenwu and Bai Feng for killing Lin Gong, but also told her the truth that Fan Xian was Ye Qingmei's son and the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing.
Ye Qingmei killed her grandfather, and Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei's son. After all, the two of them are enemies, but she also promised Fan Xian that she would not let him in under any circumstances. Before Lin Gong was murdered, he knew that the Niulan Street assassination was planned by Lin Gong.
So the question is, will she avenge her parents and betray Fan Xian, or keep her promise and keep the truth in her belly?
"You just don't understand, why should I help Fan Xian to stand up to the thunder, right?"
"!!!!!!"
He actually knew it was Fan Xian Kill Lin Gong!
Si Lili raised his head and stared at his profile.
He lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at the two slightly opened red lips, and pinched her chin with a hint of mischievousness, scraping his thumb back and forth, and his nails occasionally touched her teeth, which felt cool.
"Do you think...Lin Wan'er is deeply affectionate for Fan Xian?"
Si Lili's cheeks were slightly red and he nodded lightly.
"Then based on her physical condition, if it is known that Fan Xian killed Lin Gong, what is the most likely thing to happen?"
Si Lili's eyes suddenly widened. : "There is no greater sorrow than heartbreak?"
Everyone in the city knew that Princess Chen was very ill and could hardly survive to the age of twenty. If she found out that her lover killed her brother, and she had to marry someone she didn't like, her heart would be as broken as death, and her body would be about to die. It's not far.
"Lin Ruofu has no power to restrain a chicken, and there is nothing he can do to me. Chen Pingping controls the Supervisory Yuan. The black cavalry rushes into countless battles and kills many people. One anger from three places can poison ten thousand people, and six shadows They are all-pervasive and skilled in assassination. If these people can’t kill me, then will Lin Gong’s revenge be avenged?”
“You want to use Lin Waner’s help to provoke Fan Xian to attack you?”
< br>"Fan Xian? Is he embarrassed to do this?" Chu Pingsheng smiled: "But I am looking forward to him making such a choice."
"I hear what you mean... isn't it?"
"Lin Wan'er is a woman who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside."
"You mean...she...will kill you with her own hands?" Si Lili was shocked by her own thoughts.
To be precise, she was shocked by Chu Pingsheng's logic.
"As long as she hates me, this tone can support her until the day she gets married. Now, you know it clearly. I have a medicine that can cure all diseases, but now there is a real problem. , you and she are both princesses...who will be the bigger one in the future?"
He said this with a joking look on his face.
But for Si Lili, there was a big bell ringing in his heart.
He did this... to use hatred to support Lin Wan'er's spirit to get through the difficulties before marriage? If Lin Wan'er's temperament is as he said, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, it is indeed possible that she has fallen into the trap of provoking generals.
“Aren’t you afraid that she will commit suicide?”
“Then she has married me, she is my person in life, and my ghost in death.”
“ You... are such a devil.”
Si Lili suddenly put his head in his mouth and bit his thumb fiercely.
“Why do you women like to bite your fingers?” Chu Pingsheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he looked at her face, which was wearing a mask of pain because her teeth were clogged.
Si Lili’s face is full of confusion. He has a nose, a mouth, a pair of ears and two eyes. At most, his shoulders and chest muscles are stronger than ordinary people, but why does he not see any broken skin or bleeding after taking one bite? , not even a white mark, almost chipped her teeth.
“How dare you bite me, how do you think I should punish you?”
Chu Pingsheng straightened her upright, pushed her onto the bed, and said viciously: “I’ll punish you by eating lychees. ”
The manager didn’t understand. How could eating lychees be considered punishment? She has eaten a small mountain, okay?
......
When Miss Lili was doubting her life, another conversation was taking place in the dark room of the Control Council where unknown flowers were planted.
Chen Pingping was sitting in a wheelchair, looking up at the two windows that were so small that they could only illuminate a palm-sized area. Fan Xian in white robes stood behind him.
"Do you know everything about the court meeting?" "Yes."
“Now you know why His Majesty brought you to Kyoto and wanted you to take over the inner treasury, right?”
“I just want him to see that I am his son. Go ahead, terminate the engagement between Wan'er and Chu Pingsheng. As for the inner treasure, don't forget about it."
Chen Pingping pulled up the felt covering her legs, closed her eyes and said in silence for a moment: "After the court meeting, your father will be with you. I went to the Imperial Study Room to meet with His Majesty, and I asked him what kind of deal he had made with Chu Pingsheng's master, but he didn't say. From this point of view, unless their deal can be stopped, the matter between you and Princess Chen is... very serious. Difficult.”
“How to stop their transaction?”
Chen Pingping opened her eyes: "Is Wu Zhu by your side?"
Before the meeting, Fan Xian was still a little suspicious of Chen Pingping. After the meeting, he learned that Chen Pingping had been investigating the cause of Ye Qingmei's death, and he felt deeply in his heart. All doubts and concerns disappeared, and he was regarded as a trustworthy elder.
"Yes, Uncle Wu Zhu is in Kyoto."
"Chu Pingsheng said that his master Bai Feng is also here." Chen Pingping turned the wheelchair, crossed her hands and placed them flat on her chest In front of him, he looked up at Fan Xian and said, "Actually, I have always doubted whether the character Bai Feng, the great master of Xihu, really exists."
At this point, Fan Xian understood.
"You mean to let Uncle Wu Zhu take action against Chu Pingsheng and force the great master of Xihu Bai Feng to show up?"
"That's right."
Chen Pingping's eyes kept shining: "Only when you know yourself and the enemy "Every battle is victorious."
Fan Xian thought for a moment and felt that what Chen Pingping said was very reasonable. Chu Pingsheng had always been in front of people as the great master Bai Fengchang and the great master Bai Fengdou, but no one had ever seen this Bai Feng. .
"Okay, I will discuss it with Uncle Wu Zhu when I get back and let him explore Baifeng's true identity."
Chen Pingping picked up the long-handled wooden spoon in the barrel, scooped some water and sprinkled it on the little flowers that were slightly wilted in the sun: "Tell him to pay attention to safety."
"I will."
Fan Xian took the long-handled wooden spoon and scooped some water from the wooden bucket, pouring it on the small flowers that were not exposed to the sun and were far away from Chen Pingping.
……
The moonlight is as cold as silver, and the loneliness locks the Qing palace.
On the turret where you can ride the wind, the eldest princess Li Yunrui, wearing a black gauze dress, melted the newly brewed nectar into the tea fragrant with osmanthus. She rolled up her sleeve with her left hand and held a cup in her right hand. She put it to her mouth to smell it first and then took a sip. .
Sitting here, you can see the people's homes outside the imperial city, the brightly lit Funing Palace, and even the Xingqing Palace and the Imperial Study Room from a distance.
As for what happened at the court meeting, she was both satisfied and dissatisfied.
The satisfying part is that Chen Pingping was dismissed from office, and Lin Ruofu decided to persuade Emperor Qing to take back his life after this scene.
What is dissatisfied is that Chu Pingsheng revealed that Fan Xian is the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing and Ye Qingmei. If only she knew about this matter, there would be more room for maneuver. Now all the officials I know, if I make any small moves, I'm afraid I'll be constrained. After all, the consequences of plotting against Si Nanbo's illegitimate son are completely different from plotting against Emperor Qing's illegitimate son.
"That's fine. I want to see if that old fox Qin Ye can still sit still."
The Qin family had done a lot to deal with Ye Qingmei. Li Yunqian brought Fan Xian to Kyoto. She also wanted to let him control the inner treasury, which seemed to have the intention of caring for and cultivating her, and Chen Pingping was secretly investigating the Qin family. What if Fan Xian became a powerful official in the court in the future, would the Qin family still have a way to survive?
“Huh.”
At this time, Li Yunrui glanced at the Wenhua Palace not far away and saw the great eunuch Hou Zhigang talking to a man who was a little out of shape.
“Who is that person?”
The female officer Wan Qiu walked outside and looked at it carefully and replied: "Your Highness, this is Gong Dian, the deputy commander of the Ouchi Guards."
"Aren't his hands crippled?"
"Yes. , I heard that his martial arts has also deteriorated, but His Majesty felt his loyalty and did not transfer him from the imperial city, but also made him the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard."
Li Yunrui took another sip of tea and said calmly. : "The sign of this great master and apprentice is easy to use."
With a casual sigh, she associated Gong Dian with Chu Pingsheng who dared to vent his dissatisfaction with Emperor Qing at the court meeting.
Snap...
The tea cup in my hand fell and broke into two pieces on the ground. The aroma of osmanthus spread throughout the room.
The palace maids standing at the door quickly came forward to clean up. One lay on the ground to wipe the tea, and the other cleaned up the broken tea cups.
The female officer Wan Qiu heard the sound and went inside to check.
“Your Highness?”
Li Yunrui closed his eyes tightly and raised his jade wrist lightly to indicate that he was fine.
The reason why she broke the tea cup was because Gong Dian reminded her of the assassin who once broke into the palace and painted his naked body. Then she realized that Chu Pingsheng was looking at her body unscrupulously yesterday. The look in her eyes was exactly the same as the assassin's look as he looked at her body.
The so-called Northern Qi assassin and Xihu foreign envoy Chu Pingsheng...could they be the same person?
