Enemies are reborn

Princess Gao Yang has a savage temperament, and it is also because she was spoiled by Gao Zong since she was a child, she was arrogant and domineering.After Gaozong's death, there was no one to restrain her. When the first emperor was in power, he often had disagreements with Jingyang, but now that Zhao Mian is here, the quarrel is even more serious.

It's not a big deal, not even the word 'political affairs', but as soon as the assassination case came out, Yan Huaizhen, Prime Minister Yan, impeached her in front of all the officials.

Zhao Mian wondered: "To be honest, Aunt Gao Yang came here this morning. I have seen a portrait, and Bi Shu is somewhat similar to Aunt Le Yang. Aunt Gao Yang said that if you don't To relieve my anger, I can ask Bi Shu to apologize to you, she will write Bi Shu under her own name, and from now on, she will be the princess of Princess Gaoyang's mansion."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, some even made calculations, Gao Yang was thirty, and Bi Shu was twenty and two, there was a difference of eight years, how could they be mother and daughter?

I didn't say I was surprised, but people who understood could sense that the emperor never said who Bi Shu's father was from the beginning to the end, and didn't mention a word of the absurd things back then.

Yan Huaizhen was dissatisfied, and prevented the emperor from stepping down in front of all the ministers: "I have no personal relationship with the eldest princess Leyang. That woman threatened that the minister would drug the eldest princess Leyang. If your majesty keeps knowing, the princess Gaoyang will still be there in the past." This is not an excuse to insult the minister."

Zhao Mian's complexion was ugly, he hesitated to speak, and said helplessly: "Back then, you both insisted on your own opinions, and my uncle said no, but Princess Gaoyang still held her tightly. If you don't want to order the Ministry of Criminal Investigation to investigate, it's better to pay your uncle justice. .”

"Check..." Yan Huaizhen's face turned into a pig's liver, checking his love affairs, no matter what the ending is, he can't save face.

Absolutely not.

He immediately said: "Your Majesty, you may not know the past, but the Empress Dowager knows that the Eldest Princess Leyang died of illness and her bones were buried in the mausoleum, so why did I do it to you?"

Zhao Mianshuo patrolled all the ministers for a week, and said helplessly: "Aunt Gao Yang mentioned the cause of Aunt Le Yang's death long ago, so I should investigate this time."

"Your Majesty." Yan Huaizhen exclaimed, knelt on his knees and kowtowed anxiously: "How can a woman's opinion be accepted..."

"Yan Xiang." Zhao Mian interrupted his words, and his eyes fell on Xie Yu intentionally or unintentionally. There are all men in the hall, so you can say these words, but Xie Yu is a woman. her face.

Yan Huaizhen realized his mistake, and hurriedly changed his words: "Princess Gaoyang is slandering me, the empress dowager can testify."

Xie Yu stood still at the same place, without looking at him, closed his eyes and thought, and heard someone say: "The Empress Dowager and Yan Xiang are brothers and sisters."

Yan Huaizhen shouted angrily: "You mean the empress dowager will show favoritism."

Xie Yu said: "The empress dowager is just, and favoritism is not considered. The matter has passed for more than 20 years, and I can't find out or explain it. But I have something strange. How did Princess Leyang die? Be fair."

"Yes, yes, yes, the Taifu is right."

"It's better to have a blood test."

"Absurd, one or two words from others will make the truth bleed, what face does the truth have?" Yan Huaizhen directly refused, his face was not as good as before, and with a bit of savagery, he glanced around at the ministers talking nonsense.

Zhao Mian sat idly by and looked at Xie Yu instead: "What's the Taifu's advice?"

Yan Huaizhen was dissatisfied in his heart, why should he ask Xie Yu about anything, he wanted to refute, Xie Yu said: "The most convenient and quick way is to recognize relatives by dripping blood. If they don't get along, they can also return their innocence."

"It's absurd, the Taifu actually believes in such folk methods, and the minister refuses."

Xie Yu turned around and bowed to him: "If Xiangye refuses, he can only order the Ministry of Punishment to investigate. I remember that I can open the coffin for an autopsy."

Zhao Mian took the opportunity and said, "If uncle can be restored, it's okay to bother Aunt Leyang's dead soul. I think Aunt will be considerate."

The two sang together, making it hard for Yan Huaizhen to say anything. Seeing his complexion, his party members turned to Xie Yu: "Teacher Xie seems to think that Yan Xiang has indeed harmed Princess Leyang."

Xie Yu said with a smile: "You guys are arguing endlessly, which gave me a headache. If you want His Majesty to be fair and innocent, you must give convincing evidence, and you must not let Your Majesty directly settle the case, so Princess Gaoyang will continue to quarrel and go round and round again." , it’s more fair to recognize relatives by dripping blood.”

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice also thought it was reasonable, and said: "The Taifu is right. Princess Gaoyang is not an unreasonable person. If there is evidence, she will not speak again. In this way, the appearance can also be innocent."

Zhao Mian nodded: "Let's do it like this, go ask Princess Gaoyang and bring Bi Shu here."

"Your Majesty..." Yan Huaizhen still wanted the emperor to change his words, his hands hidden in his cuffs trembled, his eyelids twitched wildly, it must be a fake, Gao Yang must be plotting against him.

After retreating from the imperial court, Princess Gaoyang came in a hurry, followed by Bi Shu, while Xie Yu walked briskly towards Guan Zhizhai.

The two met on the palace road, the autumn wind was bleak, Gao Yang was curious about Xie Yu's whereabouts: "Where is the Taifu going, don't you want to watch a good show?"

Xie Yu smiled lightly: "The students are waiting for me. I can't watch the good show. I think His Highness will tell you that I am waiting for you."

"Really?" Gao Yang looked at her coldly, his eyes were cold, he took two steps forward, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Teacher is pure-hearted, so I don't know if you want to play a bright moon song with me? Is your Jiuxiaoqin still playing?" Here in this palace, you can get it if you want it.”

"Take it?" Xie Yu was surprised, facing the brilliance in Gao Yang's eyes, he also took a step closer, and said from a short distance away: "Take the qin or marry someone?"

The seductress was teased instead, making Gao Yang feel ashamed, he gouged out his eyes from embarrassment, raised his head and left.

The corners of Xie Yu's lips curled up, and he smiled ironically, before heading towards Guan Zhizhai.

Today's Xie Yu's chess skills, there are chess pieces in front of everyone, but she left empty-handed. After staring at it for a week, she said: "There is no lecture today, let's talk about government affairs, we can talk freely."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they only learned a little scriptures on weekdays, when did they learn political affairs?

Xiao Kunning was also curious, why did Xie Yu mention these things if he had nothing to do.

Xie Yu smiled as usual, "Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, officials should not close their eyes and ears, they should listen more and think more. Today, there is only one matter discussed in the court. I think you have heard about it. I don't know what you think?"

The students in Guan Zhi Zhai are all family members of important ministers, and they would all go to inquire about what happened before. The matter of Yan Xiang was so big, they had already bribed the little eunuch to ask for details.It's one thing for them to know, but quite another to talk about it blatantly.

The husband asked them, are they not afraid of being missed?

Zhou Wenqing and Yan Ruyu had a good relationship, and when he heard what Mr. said at this time, he felt it was inappropriate, and said in a low voice, "Sir, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to say this behind your back?"

Xie Yu looked at her: "What's wrong with Miss Zhou?"

Zhou Wenqing stood up and said, "The former dynasty has little to do with us, and it's a private matter of Yan Xiang. Our open discussion is disrespectful."

"The former dynasty has little to do with us?" Xie Yu showed playful eyes, nodded slightly, and scanned the crowd: "Does it have little to do with you?"

Mr. Xie is not happy.

The students didn't dare to be presumptuous, and everyone was concerned. The gentleman is used to being gentle, but he was obviously angry just now. They looked at each other left and right, and said deeply: "The reason why the gentleman chose us to enter Guanzhizhai is that we will be officials in the future. The affairs of the court are closely related to us."

Zhou Wenqing's face turned red when he heard the words, and Xie Yu was slightly disappointed: "Why did Miss Zhou enter this Guan Zhi Zhai?"

"Student..." Zhou Wenqing felt chills down her spine. Mr. Today seemed to be targeting her deliberately. She didn't think she was at fault. The previous affairs were done by men, and women should not interfere.

Xie Yu waved her hand to signal her to sit down, and said: "Ms. Zhou thinks it doesn't matter, so it doesn't matter. Let's change the topic and talk about the current situation."

Xiao Kunning couldn't figure out what Xie Yu was thinking, Zhou Wenqing didn't care about government affairs at all, it might be better to say that she, like Yan Ruyu, entered Guanzhizhai for the sake of Princess Yanping.

Everyone weighed their words and answered with trepidation, while Zhou Wenqing held back his grievances until Xie Yu left.

Xiao Wenxue pulled Xiao Kunning away together, and talked to her on the way: "I'm afraid Zhou Wenqing will be kicked out."

The husband is a woman, and she is quite controversial standing in the hall. Zhou Wenqing's words are undoubtedly accusing her. Such a student is not to add some face to her, but to insult her.

Xiao Kunning didn't say a word, Dingguo Hou's Mansion and Yan Xiang were grasshoppers on the same rope. When Yan Ruyu entered the palace, the position of Princess Yanping was vacated. As for the young lady Yan, it was just a display. The Yan family expressed their affection.

Not long after the two sisters went back, Gao Yang came to Guanzhizhai to block Xie Yu.

Zhao Can got a plate of pastries from Xie Yu, and seeing Aunt Gao Yang approaching in a rage, she was so scared that she ran back to the house to find Xiao Kunning.

When Shen Yunzhi heard the news, he sneaked over to watch it. Not to be outdone, Zhao Can pulled Xiao Kunning as a shield and followed. Xiao Wenxue was worried that something would happen, so she put on her skirt and followed.

Princess Gao Yang's complexion was not very good, and she put on a posture after entering the palace. Xie Yu should have left, but she stopped her and made sweet tea in person, saying: "Why are you angry, Your Highness?"

"I heard it was you who insisted on bloodshed to recognize your relatives?" Gao Yang's expression was cold.

Xie Yu was lazy, sat down on one side, sipped his tea, and said, "Could it be that the blood and water didn't mix?"

"It melted." Gao Yang suppressed his anger.

Xie Yu laughed and said, "Since it's merged, why is Your Highness upset?"

The more Gao Yang thought about it, the more angry he became: "But her blood has also fused with my blood, not only that, but also fused with other people's blood, this plan will not work at all."

"If it's not possible, it's no different for His Highness to find success. It's better to go to His Majesty. I recommend someone to you. Jing Zhao Yin Wenyu Ke is meticulous and quick to investigate the case." Xie Yu got up to refill tea for himself, and saw Gao Yang opposite him The tea cup didn't move, and said kindly: "This tea is a gift from His Majesty, you can try it."

Gao Yang was originally full of anger, but when Xie Yu said this, most of his anger dissipated, and seeing her complexion bullying Saixue, and her thin lips were bright red, the remaining anger dissipated, "Wen Yu dare to investigate?"

Xie Yu said: "It is difficult to violate the holy will."

With the emperor's decree and the cooperation of the three divisions, the palace gate was opened wide, allowing her to come in and out freely.

Gao Yang's heart was moved, and he also knew that Xie Yu used to read words and expressions, so he calmed down his thoughts, took a sip of tea, and then changed his tone: "I am curious that Grand Tutor Xie is so beautiful, why hasn't he married yet?"

The eavesdroppers were stunned when they heard such a gossip as soon as they arrived. Xiao Kunning also wanted to ask this sentence. If Xie Yu likes Shen Rui, he should express his heart. What's the use of holding back for no reason.

Zhao Can's eyes were bright, while Xiao Wenxue frowned, but Shen Yunzhi was very happy.

Xie Yu turned his back to the window and never noticed the window, but Gao Yang felt something was wrong at a glance, with a smile on his lips, he leaned slightly to approach Xie Yu, staring into her cold and moist eyes, "What do you think of me, Mr. ?”

Xie Yu was indifferent, but leaned back, farther away from Gao Yang, and said solemnly: "Your Highness is beautiful, but I don't like it."

Zhao Can, who was eavesdropping, almost laughed out loud, but was covered by Xiao Kunning, and the two of them were almost stuck together. Xiao Wenxue pulled Xiao Kunning to leave, and it was unreasonable to eavesdrop on the affairs of the husband's boudoir.

Xiao Kunning still wanted to listen, but Xiao Wenxue couldn't help but pull her away: "Just now Princess Gao Yang saw us, if we continue to listen, trouble will arise."

The two walked a few steps, Zhao Can chased after them, and only Shen Yun stayed outside the window.

After Gao Yang approached Xie Yu, he felt a coldness that eroded his bone marrow. Unlike other people, Xie Yu was so beautiful and glamorous, he was smiling clearly, but it made people feel cold.

Compared with Xie Yu and Xiao Kunning, Xie Yu is glamorous, while Xiao Kunning is coquettish,

The former makes people afraid to approach, and the latter is so beautiful that people lose their hearts and souls.

Gao Yangfu sat up straight again, suddenly lost interest, Xie Yu's beauty is like a lotus that emerges from the mud and is not stained, it can only be seen from a distance, not to be played with.

In layman's terms, it's meaningless.

Gao Yang Shi Shiran got up to leave, Xie Yu watched her leave, and when she stepped out of the palace gate, Shen Yunzhi ran away.

Nongqin, who was guarding the gate of the palace, said, "Why do you recommend Wen Yuke, sir?" Wen Yuke is like a stone, which cannot be cut by a knife or pierced by a sword.

Xie Yu remained silent, staring at the floating clouds in the sky, the words Wen and Ke came up repeatedly in her mind, and there would always be a knife that would strike.

****

In the early winter, it rained, and it didn't see sunshine for many days. The area under the eaves was always wet, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Wen Yuke was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment as the left servant, and his promotion speed was faster than turning over a book.But many people don't envy her. The first thing to do when entering the criminal department is to investigate the past many years ago.After 22 years, who can find out clearly, look up and see that the three mountains are pressing down on the top, and Yan Xiang and Princess Gaoyang are still emperors.

Over the years, all the damned people have died, and it is even more difficult to investigate without witnesses. In short, this is not an easy case to investigate.

No matter how you investigate, you will offend people.

Guan Zhi Zhai’s class is still going on. A few days ago, Zhou Wenqing was picked up by Marquis Ding Guo and will not come back again. Without Yan Ruyu and Zhou Wenqing in Guan Zhi Zhai, it is very quiet. On weekdays, only Zhao Can said a few words loudly .

The weather was quite sunny this day, Concubine Yan Gui asked people to come and invite everyone to enjoy the flowers in the garden, and the Queen Mother would be there at that time, Zhao Can couldn't push it, so he followed the servants away with a full stomach.

In winter, the girls are afraid of the cold, so they all wear fox furs of different colors, walking slowly on the road, like flowers blooming in the garden.

Wen Yuke came out of the abandoned palace together with the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and when he saw the girl with a bright red bonus, he stopped in his tracks, and his eyes fell on the last girl in red.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment saw her pause, and kindly explained to her: "This is the female student of the Taifu."

Wen Yuke looked away, and walked in the opposite direction to them, the palace road was deep and secluded, and there were no palace attendants.The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice pretended she didn't know, and said again: "Mr. Xie selected a few officials and eunuchs to study in the palace in one year, and intends to select female officials next year."

The two walked forward for a while, and when they met Tai Fu Xie Yu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice joked: "I saw your students just now, walking together like flowers."

Wen Yuke was a low official, half a step behind, standing behind the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, bowed his head and said nothing, Xie Yu never went to see her, and said casually: "A few days ago, Marquis Dingyuan came to ask to marry one of them, but I rejected him. It seems that my students are indeed too conspicuous."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was amused by her, and said: "Indeed, sir, is he optimistic about this person?"

Xie Yu's eyes were clear, his hands were covering the stove, the tip of his nose was reddish from the wind, and he was in the posture of a saint. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice felt that she was kind and intelligent, and she was full of poems and books. Such a woman is rare, and he admired her a little more .

Thinking that the subordinate behind him is also a woman, he came here to recommend: "This is Wen Yuke, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, sir, do you like her?"

Xie Yu's lips curled into an ambiguous smile, "I don't know Mr. Wen."

Having said that, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Minister of the Ministry of Justice liked Wen Yuke very much, so he said a few nice words for her. Xie Yu couldn't bear to listen, and asked him, "Where did you say my student went?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was stunned, and pointed back: "There."

Xie Yu frowned, the palace is so big, and the location there is too wide.

Wen Yuke, who was silent, said suddenly: "I just heard that the imperial concubine and empresses invited them to see flowers in the garden, and the queen mother is also there."

Xie Yu frowned even deeper, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was still praising Wen Yuke, young and promising, with a certain amount of advance and retreat.

Xie Yu ignored him and left after saying goodbye. Can Wen Yu move forward or retreat?

It's all empty talk, Wen Yu can advance and retreat with limits, and there is no bold person in the world.

Wen Yuke walked ten or so steps, and suddenly felt empty around her waist. She looked down and saw that the jade pendant was gone. She stopped, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment noticed it and said, "Did something fall?"

"The jade pendant left by my father was accidentally left behind."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said: "Then you go back and look for it, I will go to Hanguang Hall to meet His Majesty first."

Wen and Ke saluted and thanked him, then turned around and hurried to look for him.

****

A group of young girls stood outside the pavilion, blowing the cold wind, knowing that their little faces were flushed, and the palace people were watching beside them. They didn't want to make any small movements, so they stood upright and let the wind blow.

Zhao Can couldn't stand the cold, so he muttered a few words, but others couldn't hear them clearly.Xiao Kunning looked into the pavilion covered by the curtain, Xiao Wenxue who was behind pulled her hand, and stuffed something warm into her hand.

The whole person suddenly felt much warmer, Xiao Kunning lowered his head to look, it was a small heater, hollowed out with gold threads, just enough to hold a fist.

Xiao Wenxue's mind is clearer than many women, just like when going out today, no one would have thought of bringing these little things with her, her legs and feet were all freezing cold.Holding the stove and smiling gratefully at Xiao Wenxue, Xiao Wenxue nodded.

No one noticed the little movements of the two of them. Everyone was too cold. When they suddenly saw the gentleman in white, they immediately felt that the savior was coming.

As soon as Xie Yu came, the curtain was lifted, and the palace people welcomed her in.There are a few red plums in front of the pavilion, which are blooming in the wind. Before the snow falls, you can see a little red. The color is beautiful. Xie Yu walked forward and looked around, and said, "Is this what you admire for flowers?"

The crowd dared not speak, they were clearly asked to blow the cold wind where they were admiring the flowers.

Xie Yu saluted the queen mother and concubine outside the pavilion, and did not go in to keep warm. Concubine Yan had no choice but to come out holding the hand of the palace servant.

The noble concubine was dressed thinly, and when the cold wind blew her whole body was shaking, her hair was pulled up in a high bun, she felt the wind pouring down her neck, it was extremely cold, she smiled and said, "How about a cup of tea, sir?"

Xie Yu was holding the stove, the fox fur was warm, but the whole person was not that cold, and her face was like jade, she was still dressed in autumn clothes, the skin under her neck was clearly visible, the corners of her lips turned purple from the cold as she spoke, she pointed at Hongmei: "The winter snow hasn't fallen, and the red plums are not in full bloom."

The Empress Dowager did not speak in the pavilion, and sent the palace servants out to pass the message: "The red plum blossoms are beautiful, and I will send some to Guanzhi Zhai for all the girls."

Xie Yu was grateful, but pulled Yan Ruyu to talk.Everyone looked at each other, Mr. Secret Dao is really kind, he worked so hard to save them, and they all saluted and thanked him.

Xie Yu asked tricky and weird questions, asking why Yan Ruyumei was red, but could there be green plums, and said that the scholar had seen green plums before, but it was a pity that he didn't have the chance to see them, and his tone was regretful.While speaking, he glanced at the leaving students, his complexion turned into cold snow, and said softly: "I drove Zhou Wenqing out of Guanzhi Zhai. Your Majesty can tell me if you have any complaints. They are no more knowledgeable than your Majesty. They are simple-minded. What do you mean?" They don't understand, but I do."

Yan Ruyu was shivering against the cold wind. After hearing these words, she became angry from embarrassment. Thinking of the things in her previous life, she tore her face and said: "Teacher is very thoughtful, other people are not fools, so don't pretend."

A sheep in wolf's clothing, sooner or later she will peel off this layer of skin.

Xie Yu's face was pale, without any trace of waves, ignoring the viciousness in her eyes, and said: "Concubine Yan Gui, don't think that she has a backer because Princess Gaoyang sent her to the palace. Princess Jingyang is the first person who wants to kill you now." .”

Indeed, when Yan Ruyu entered the palace in Gao Yang's carriage, she stood on the opposite side of her adoptive mother.

After Xie Yu saluted the Queen Mother, he turned and left.

The cold wind was raging, and the red plums in front of the pavilion were swaying with the wind. Yan Ruyu stared at Xie Yu's back with a hint of viciousness in her eyes, she would not just admit defeat like this.

As long as Zhao Mian does not die, she still has the hope of becoming a queen. She must remember today's humiliation. Xie Yu's wolf ambition, she will definitely catch the handle. When Xie Yu is eliminated, Xiao Kunning will not be able to escape.

****

Everyone's legs and feet were numb from the cold, and they walked a lot slower. Zhao Can was outspoken and resentful, so he started chattering, scolding Yan Ruyu from inside to outside.

After scolding, he still felt puzzled, his eyes were red with anger, and he limped back.

Xiao Kunning followed slowly, and was overtaken by Xie Yu.

Xie Yu stuffed the hand stove into her hand, and walked forward as if nothing had happened. Xiao Wenxue bent her lips and smiled when she noticed it, but Xiao Kunning gave a sudden pause, and the hand stove in her hand fell out.

Wen Yuke was dressed in a scarlet official robe, standing straight at the entrance of the palace road, his eyes were looking straight ahead, just in line with Xiao Kunning's gaze.

She slightly bent over and saluted, the hand stove rolled to her feet, bent down to pick it up, and handed it to Xiao Kunning two extra steps.

Under the crimson official robe, her face was cold, the corners of her lips were slightly pursed, and her whole body was cold, but her hands were white and slender, which was different from her temperament.

Xiao Kunning stared closely at these hands, recalling the last meeting between the two in the previous life.

At that time Xie Yu occupied the Hanguang Palace, most of the courtiers were killed or demoted by her, Wen Yu could be dismissed, and everyone dared not confront her. She was shocked by the news and went out of the palace to meet her.

Wen Yuke took off his official robe, dressed in homely clothes, with a bright blue color, and a clear and beautiful face. After seeing her, he smiled as usual, "I am ashamed of my expectations for the empress, and you will go on your own way in the future."
