Chapter 358 Border (2)
Qi Feng was shocked by Jiang Ruan's words. She had already touched Xuan Li thoroughly. Her understanding of Xuan Li was even higher than that of the Jinyiwei who was inquiring about her, which really made people have to doubt her identity. But now it seems that Jiang Ruan seems to be more like a bloody hatred for Xuan Li. He suddenly had a feeling that as long as Jiang Ruan is there, she would do everything possible to stop Xuan Li's great cause. Xuan Li's great cause will never succeed.
The woman's thoughts are graceful and exquisite, her methods are outrageous, and she shows her charm on the outside, but her heart is deserted. It seems that nothing can enter her eyes, and nothing can make her look. She exudes a sense of mystery all over her body, but it makes people involuntarily attracted to her.
Jiang Ruan did not notice Qi Feng's gaze, but his thoughts floated far away. In his previous life, Xuan Li's secret passage was not taken out so early. At that time, it was already late in the battle for the throne, and the prince had died, the fifth prince was imprisoned, and the world's great cause was just around the corner. He used this secret passage to convey information outside the palace. This secret passage was the most precious bargaining chip. Those who were used to preparing for the future always had to leave a way out for themselves. This was his ace. Jiang Ruan accidentally learned about this secret passage, and Xuan Li rushed for the first time.
She got angry, but at that time she hurriedly apologized and repeatedly said that she would not tell others about this. Xuan Li forgave her. But later she sent two more maids to her in the palace. At that time, she thought that Xuan Li was considerate and pity for her, but now she thought that the two maids were just sent by Xuan Li to monitor her. Xuan Li was very suspicious. He did not allow anyone to know his ace. He saved Jiang Ruan's life and did not silence her, but he was already merciless. But now when he thinks about the past, he always feels that every scene is ironic.
Qi Feng sensitively noticed the change in Jiang Ruan's gaze, as if he was ridiculed and self-loathing for something, and there was a deep chill. After calming down, he asked: "So that's the case. No one would have thought that he would actually hide his military pay in the secret passage."
"That's right," Jiang Ruan came to his senses and slowly lowered his head and said, "He wants to protect this secret passage, so he will never help the Xia family. Once the burned grain is exposed and the military pay is still there, then his secret cannot be kept. Once the secret passage is exposed, the emperor will definitely know his rebellious intention, so he dare not gamble, he will not save him, and if he wants to protect himself, he will sacrifice the Xia family."
Qi Feng suddenly realized.
Now everyone in the capital is staring at the matter of food and grass. If Xuan Li thought of a way to tell the emperor that everything was just a misunderstanding. Xia Jun and Jiang Chao were burning Chen grain, then where did the military pay go? So many eyes were staring at it, it would be impossible to transport the military pay back intact. Once Xuan Li's secret passage was exposed, the emperor would realize that his rebellious intention would be strongly suppressed, so Xuan Li's path to great cause was over.
He could not help, and even avoid suspicion and protect the secrets of the secret passage, so he was destined to sacrifice the Xia family. The strength of the Xia family was exactly what he needed. In this way, at least the efforts Xuan Li had made over the past few years were gone. Qi Feng simply wanted to laugh. Jiang Ruan's move was too ruthless, and it was difficult for Xuan Li to retreat. He always had to cut off a piece of raw meat on his body. I'm afraid that it was time to jump off the feet of anger.
"What should we do now? Find a way to inform Your Majesty of Xuan Li's secret passage?" Qi Feng asked.
"Now if you say it, Xuan Li will have a hundred ways to prove that the secret passage has nothing to do with him. Besides, if Your Majesty finds out after he finds it out, it will inevitably be implicated in the King Jinying Mansion. The King Jinying Mansion's position in the court is already embarrassing, and in this matter, it will be harmful but not beneficial." Jiang Ruan said: "The most important thing is,"
"What should I do?" Seeing that she had denied this suggestion without any doubt, Qi Feng knew that she must have other ideas in her mind and asked, "Did the third sister-in-law have a good idea?"
"I said that this time, I asked them to kill their teeth and swallow their blood. After suffering a huge loss, I dare not say it out." A hint of hostility flashed in her eyes: "The eight hundred vehicles of military pay Xiao Shao still needs it. I also want to thank Xuan Li for transporting them out intact. I want this batch of military pay!"
"You..." Qi Feng looked at her in surprise. After a while, he suddenly burst out laughing, laughing very happily, and said while laughing: "San Sister-in-law, you are so happy, you are brave, and have a better idea. If this matter is done, if I am Xuan Li, I will definitely be bedridden. You are so high-end!"
Jiang Ruan refused to comment. At this moment, Luzhu pushed the door and walked in. Seeing Qi Feng also there, he bowed and came forward to hand over a letter, whispered: "Girl, the master has come to him."
Jiang Ruan took the letter and didn't care about Qi Feng's presence. She took it out and read it in a short time. After reading it, she was not very emotional and handed the letter to Dew: "Take it out and burn it."
Luzhu went out as he said, and Qi Feng looked at her: "What happened to her third sister-in-law?"
"It's nothing, but my father thinks that my second brother is in prison, and my sister should do her best to rescue her." Her words were sarcastic. Qi Feng felt harsh when he heard it, and couldn't help but say, "What's the reason? As a father, even if he wants to deal with Jiang Chao, you shouldn't be the one who takes action. How can you, a deep girl, be involved in this? Isn't Jiang Quan crazy?"
"He is just a little naive." Jiang Ruan sneered: "Save him? I just want to look at him, and I can't look back step by step. He has lived long enough. This time, I'll take his life."
In Nanhuayuan, the emperor waved his hand, and the eunuchs who were about to make a sound fell silent. Eunuch Li drove them all out. The emperor stepped into the door and saw the young man practicing calligraphy in the room at a glance.
It was a bit too early to say that it was a boy. He looked more like a child, looking very delicate, and seemed to be more steady and restrained than before when he saw him. The emperor took his steps lightly and walked in a little while before he saw the child's snow-white rice paper: People who love and desire are like holding a torch, walking against the wind will have the danger of burning their hands.
His handwriting is very good, as delicate as others, and he can't see the edge at all, but this does not mean that the young man is as harmless as his handwriting. In fact, everyone has a temper. When he was young, he could not see his heart clearly in his handwriting.
The emperor looked around and remembered that the side hall where the Xuan Pei lived was the most remote hall in the palace, and it was not even as good as a house for a seventh-rank official. Later, he vacated the Nanhuayuan where the fourth prince lived for Xuan Pei. The fourth prince was also quite favored at the time. If it weren't for the accident later, he would not know what the situation would be. The emperor's action immediately aroused the speculation of the court officials. He had some eyesight and began to inquire about the Thirteenth Palace who was not visible but looked like he had no support.
