"I think the queen is worried. I didn't expect that the daughter of Quchi Yijie, a country girl, has just entered the capital. The queen knows everything about my wife's affairs and has found out the secrets of my wife's past so clearly."
Pretending not to understand her overtly sarcastic words, Bo Ji had already responded: "At first I was just curious about who was so capable and added a good name to the craftsmen of Ye State. After asking about it, I found out that she was General Yuwen's bride. No wonder, if you weren’t a little special, how could General Yuwen, who has such a high vision, marry you?”
The queen is good at talking, but it depends on whether she can continue talking.
Zheng Quchi sneered in his heart, but his face showed a dignified and gentle attitude: "What the queen said is absolutely true. Yu Wensheng married me because I am virtuous, straight in the outside, and do not join forces with outsiders to engage in evil practices in private. I am not driven mad by the desire for power because I am consistent in my words and deeds and do not kowtow to power. It is also because I value the interests of the country and do not betray the country for glory!"
Even if she is a rabbit, she will bite when cornered.
Every word that Zheng Quchi said at the moment, even every word, made Bo Ji, who was originally smiling and strategizing, look increasingly gloomy. But when the last word fell, she seemed to be unable to bear it, and her chest felt tight. Breathing, fingertips trembling.
When the eldest palace maid Lan Xin saw this, she immediately stood up and pointed at Zheng Quchi's nose, and shouted angrily: "How dare you! How did you talk to the queen?"
Yuan Chuhua was also shocked by Zheng Quchi's high-end words, accusations and insinuations.
She is really brave.
At this time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw the general's wife being so arrogant and domineering, and the queen became angry on the spot. Her words were so sharp that it made people's scalp numb.
"Mrs. Yuwen Zheng, how can you talk to the queen like this? You are just like a country woman with no education!"
"General Yuwen is so ignorant that he married such a woman."
"Looking at the way she stands without grace and sits irregularly, you can tell that this person comes from a humble background, and it is difficult for her to be elegant. Fortunately, the Holy Emperor and the Queen invited her to the night banquet..."
The comments of the people around him were like a vicious wave, sweeping towards Zheng Quchi.
But in the midst of the storm, Zheng Quchi stood up straighter and straighter, with his head held high and his body erect, fearless and unwilling to give in.
The harder they fight back, the more her words can sting those who are truly guilty.
Even now, she is not going to give up. Anyway, from the moment she decided to send Yuan Xingzhou to Shengjing, she had a big feud with Queen Ye. Now that the other party will not let her go, Zheng Quchi is not afraid of killing her. Chao Li was offended.
"Isn't the queen curious about what's so special about my wife that makes Yu Wensheng willing to marry me? I'm not explaining to you why you are so anxious and the ministers are so anxious? It's because my wife's reasons are not detailed enough. Oh? Oh, by the way, my wife has also missed something. I have always hated evil and have a moral integrity. I have never been able to do such immoral things as stealing someone’s husband or destroying someone’s family. I guess this can be considered a special thing. Advantages."
Bo Ji's pupils suffocated and her face instantly turned pale.
"presumptuous!"
This last sentence completely touched Bo Ji's nerves. No one in the palace knew that she had a close sisterly relationship with the late queen on the surface, but secretly she had stolen the late queen's husband, King Ye, before the late queen died. At that time, Zhujie secretly became pregnant with the eldest princess Yuan Chuhua. As soon as she died, she immediately occupied the magpie's nest.
This past incident is now kept secret in the court. Anyone who spreads rumors or past information about her in private will be retaliated by the queen.
As soon as Bo Ji waved her hand, the guards with swords stationed at the palace banquet rushed over, preparing to capture Zheng Quchi once the queen gave the order.
But Zheng Quchi stood there without moving. Even Yuan Xingzhou wanted to speak for her, but she stopped him in advance.
"Queen, you specially summoned me to the palace for the banquet just to bully me with more people, right?" Zheng Quchi sneered.
Bo Ji was in no mood to talk nonsense with her at this time. This little woman's mouth was so sharp that it was like stabbing her heart with a knife. She had to make this bitch pay the price!
"Zheng Quchi, this is the royal palace.
Under the emperor's feet, how can I allow you, a widow, to speak obscenely and make rude remarks? Come and capture her, and I will personally teach her what the rules of the palace are. "
However, as soon as the guards with swords moved, a harsh voice came from outside the palace door.
"Who dares to bully our general's wife?"
Bo Ji and all the ministers and family members at the banquet, including the noble envoys from the Three Kingdoms who were watching the show, all turned their heads and saw Wang Zebang, Wei Yao and...a handsome man in colorful clothes rushing to the scene together. Come.
Not only that, they were followed by a group of armored soldiers with a murderous look on their faces.
The majestic military appearance, mighty pace, and magnificent formation immediately shocked Bo Ji and the others.
When Wei Bu, who was in front, saw that the guard with a knife was trying to disrespect the general's wife, his tough face turned cold for an instant. The soldiers behind him quickly stepped forward. There was no need to fight with weapons, just by the bloody murderous aura on their bodies. , he was able to frighten the knife-wielding guards in the palace until their legs weakened and they disarmed them on the spot.
They were forced to kneel on the ground, unable to move, just like the power and arrogance that represented Bo Ji, which was suppressed and extinguished, and could only languish.
When Zheng Quchi saw Brother Wei and the others arriving, his eyes suddenly lit up.
She said it was unexpected, but she was not surprised at all, but they came so timely. Not only was she not surprised, but she was also pleasantly surprised.
Why could Zheng Quchi guess that Wang Zebang and Wei Yao would arrive? Just because at the night banquet, a palace servant quietly passed a message to her by passing the dishes. There was only one sentence written on the paper.
The killing seals are in harmony, no one dares to bully them.
Zheng Quchi: "..." The secret code appears again.
Every code could make her hate her lack of education.
And she also understood these four words for a long time.
The combination of killing seals seems to be a fortune-telling term. There are often old blind men setting up stalls in her hometown, and they mysteriously mutter something that others can't understand every day. When she was a child, she was very curious, and she simply asked 10,000 whys. Likewise, whenever I encounter something I don’t understand, I want to ask and understand it.
It's a pity that the old blind man is young. On weekdays, she squats beside him and listens to his conversation with the fortune teller. During this period, he occasionally explains some fortune telling terms, but she doesn't understand. When the person is gone, there will be no chance to understand. .
But she was somewhat impressed by the combination of killing seals. Kill may represent seven kills, seven kills means a villain, and seal means sealing... It probably means that if she encounters a villain in trouble, she doesn't need to be afraid, and steps forward bravely, and the opponent will be intimidated.
This explanation was also half-guessed and half-estimated by her, so it was not accurate, but the last sentence of the summons was easy to understand.
No one dares to bully her, that is, no one can bully her.
Although Zheng Quchi had guessed the beginning, he didn't expect that Wei Yao and the others would be fully armed and directly kill her. No, they would rush into the night banquet to support her.
This full sense of security is amazing!
Seeing her stunned expression, Yuan Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and leaned into her ear: "Madam, you are so majestic tonight."
Zheng Quchi's ears went numb and he came back to his senses instantly.
Damn it, why did she feel that Yuan Xingzhou's temperament was getting more and more weird and monsterous? It was completely different from the first impression she had when she was in the dungeon. She was hopeless, gloomy, and full of energy. When she closed her eyes, she was like Yama. When she opened her eyes, he was like Yama. Then hell.
She rubbed her ears and stayed away from him: "You know?"
Judging from his calm and calm expression, and looking at the people around him who were jumping into a hornet's nest, he didn't look like someone who didn't know anything about it.
"What do I know? I have been away from the palace for a long time and have no power. I will have to rely on my wife for protection in the future..." Seeing the unbearable expression on her face, he changed his words and asked as if he was curious: "Yuwen Madam, don’t you understand what kind of existence your husband Yu Wensheng is in Ye country?”
Zheng Quchi was startled, then looked at him intently, listening to him continue: "I really don't know, then you should remember it carefully now - even if he is dead, his protection is enough to keep you alive He walked sideways inside King Ye's palace."
Zheng Quchi's eyes widened. Her current mood...
That's an indescribable complexity.
I didn’t expect that.
It was really unexpected.
Since she was so powerful as Yu Wensheng's wife, why was she so nervous and nervous when she first entered the palace?
Because of ignorance.
Because she knew nothing about Yu Wensheng's powerful background.
Bo Ji looked at Wang Zebang, Wei Yao and others who came with a large number of troops, and her expression changed instantly. She was frightened and angry, but also very suspicious.
"What, what are you doing?! Who allowed you to lead troops into the palace? Wang Zebang, Wei Yao, you are simply lawless!"
Wei Bu turned a blind eye to Bo Ji's incompetent rage. He walked straight to Zheng Quchi, cupped his fists and saluted: "Madam, are you okay?"
"Anhao, I'm fine." Zheng Quchi drew back a few strands of his soul and replied instinctively.
She really didn't lose a hair.
Mu Jin, Queen Bo Ji and others were so angry that they almost didn't even take a knife to kill her personally.
Seeing that Wei Yao went to appease his wife, and she was indeed safe and sound, without any loss, Wang Zebang gave a faint salute to the queen, and without waiting for her to excuse herself, he said: "The Holy Lord has long exempted the general and the queen. Everyone knows about our act of disarming and also issued a decree allowing the general to lead troops into the palace in times of crisis. Is it possible that Queen Cheng is not aware of it?"
Bo Ji gritted her teeth at Wang Zebang's rhetorical question. She tried her best to squeeze out a condescending smile and said, "The Holy One is merciful and tolerant of General Yuwen's military affairs, but you are overstepping your limits. You also said it was a critical moment. , but where is the danger now..."
Before she could finish her words, Wang Zebang asked him forcefully and coldly: "Then what do you want to do behind the scenes?"
Bo Ji hesitated.
"The general's wife is in trouble, and our troops are dispatched to rescue her. Is this considered a critical moment?" Wang Zebang asked again.
Bo Ji looked at Zheng Quchi in shock and bewilderment. Her round little face was still in a daze, thinking about something. In Bo Ji's eyes, she was simply a stupid woman who couldn't be taught.
"Are you determined...to protect her to the end?"
Her words can be understood to mean that Yu Wensheng is dead, so what does his wife mean? They didn't think carefully about the way out, but they decided to go against her as a queen for the sake of such a useless woman?
Wang Zebang slowly raised his eyes. He had a pair of arrogant and indifferent eyes. These eyes used to only recognize one master, and that was Yu Wensheng, but now, they have another female master.
"It's not me, it's Wang, Wei, Fu..."
"Wait a minute, there's me, there's me." Hua Zhi Zhaozhan, the girl next to her who had been shaking her fan, came forward unwilling to be left alone.
Wang Zebang glanced at him and continued in a kind of way: "The four families of Wang, Wei, Cun, Liu, and the Yuwen clan's Four Elephant Army, all look up to the general and his wife. This ambition is as solid as a rock and cannot be changed."
Hearing this, the whole place fell silent for an instant. Even if someone accidentally knocked over the wine glass, no one noticed, and only the sound of water falling to the ground was heard.
"No, it's impossible, how could you..." The queen's expression at this time could not maintain a normal shape. She was like a squashed persimmon, evil and horrifyingly twisted: " How could you turn around and be loyal to such an ordinary woman?"
That’s it, Yu Wensheng. How many people in this world are as unique and astonishing as him?
But Zheng Quchi, why can she ask these arrogant people to swear allegiance to her in public?
This is simply unbelievable.
Wei Yao and Wang Zebang said loudly and loudly to the people present at the same time: "The general has an order. As long as I am here waiting for you, no one can deceive you, madam!"
Dong Dong——
Dong dong dong dong...
The sound of rapid heartbeat is a kind of silent shock.
This night banquet was originally going to be an occasion for trial, ridicule, and even harm to Zheng Quchi, but now everyone was shocked. The previous contempt, neglect, and even contempt were all replaced by Yu Wensheng's absolute protection. with four images
Under the absolute pressure of the army, he no longer dared to bully.
Zheng Quchi was now much more shocked than everyone present. She pressed her hand on her chest, where there was a jade bracelet wrapped in cloth. However, its coldness had long been eliminated by her warm body temperature. Give warmth and become one.
If she hadn't thought about it deliberately, she would have almost forgotten its existence.
"When did he say this..."
Just when the stalemate fell into silent tug-of-war, Hou Feiqing suddenly stood up: "Mrs. Yuwen, you have not answered Princess Ye's proposal just now. Do you want to refuse to participate in this Six Nations Test?" Soldier?"
Shen Tangzhong also stood up at this time. He had always been dissatisfied with Yu Wensheng, but he had principles and would not harm women, children, and family members. Therefore, he did not deliberately embarrass Yuwen Zheng before, but now it is different.
She was no ordinary woman, she represented Yu Wensheng and all the forces behind Yu Wensheng. He could no longer look at her as an ordinary woman and child.
Mu Jin drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and said with a sneer on his face: "Yu Wensheng is gone now. Mrs. Yuwen is really good at it. She quickly became the eldest son of Ye Kingdom, but you, a second-married girl, want to marry the prince of the country." I'm afraid it won't be easy, Your Highness, why not make good use of this Six Nations Military Trial, maybe you will get good results and King Ye will marry you as soon as he is happy?"
