"My father liked Qi Zhaoling so much. In order to save him, he stuffed him into Fengxi Mansion, and even left Chixiao Camp for him at Hanyuguan. Now he has been promoted to the powerful young minister of Dali Temple with a little merit. One day Stay in the palace till night."
On the teahouse outside the princess's residence, Prince Feng Jing was wearing a brocade robe and jade belt, with a handsome face. However, he couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"I wonder how smart and cautious he is. Unexpectedly, he secretly took inventory of the belongings after Feng Xi's death, and his hands and feet were not clean. It's really..."
Feng Jing did not continue, but Feng Yu on the opposite side continued:
"After two years of torture, he must hate Feng Xi very much. Now that Feng Xi is gone, and my father's time is running out, if he doesn't seize every opportunity to stabilize his position now, won't he be at your mercy in the future?"
"Feng Yu, I hate Feng Xi and Qi Xiao very much because they disturbed Gu's arrangements in the north. But what about you? Why are you pretending to be noble? Don't you want to kill Qi Xiao?"
Feng Jing sneered, Feng Yu understood him, but he didn't understand Feng Yu.
Taishi Mu has been in frequent contact with Mr. Xie recently, and it is said that he wrote a personal letter from the emperor, hoping that his teacher would protect Feng Xi and Qi Xiao.
Not to mention Feng Xi, Qi Xiao's father, Qi Shuai, was Taishi Mu's most proud disciple. He did not help him two years ago because of his father's care.
It is said that this man originally wanted to send Qi Xiao to a private village and work with him from now on.
In short, this time Taishi Mu suddenly invited the old Duke to travel far away, it must be because their father asked Gu to discuss how to keep Feng Xi and Qi Xiao.
Think about it, without the control of Feng Xi, Qi Xiao, who can kill Hamu Baoyin, has the support of Taishi Mu and Mr. Xie, the trust of the Qi family army, and the financial resources of the princess palace...
No matter who succeeds him or Feng Yu, the other will be a huge threat to them.
After all, they had all made trouble to the Qi family, and even sent people to assassinate Qi Xiao and Feng Xi in the North.
Although he, Feng Jing, was conceited and still looked down upon Qi Xiao, he also knew that such a terrible enemy could never be allowed to grow.
Absolutely not!
And what he could think of, how could Feng Yu in front of him not think of it?
If Feng Yu hadn't thought of it, he wouldn't be here today to support Xie Lian and others with him.
As expected, Feng Yu quickly smiled and said:
"The second brother of the prince knows my fourth brother well. Yes, no matter whether it is Qi Xiao or Xie Lian who gets the favor today, the relationship between Qi Xiao and the Xie family is completely broken. In the end, the one who benefits is..."
Before Feng Yu could finish saying the word "we", she saw Qi Xiao, dressed in a crimson official robe, slowly stepping out of the carriage, apparently just returning from the Yamen on duty.
It stands to reason that Qi Xiao was born in the Qi family and was a true military attaché of the Dazhao family after the generals.
But today I saw him wearing a scarlet robe of a civil servant, with white jade hanging from his waist. He had a slender figure and a beautiful face. He actually looked a bit delicate and noble as a civil servant of the Great Zhao Dynasty.
It has to be said that good-looking people are always preferred, especially when a noble young man from an independent family confronts Xie Lian and a group of people alone.
So Xie Lian and others soon discovered...
The people who had just been supporting them and scolding Qi Xiao for his evil thoughts were now silent as if they had lost their temper.
A few soft-hearted women even said that Qi Xiao did not look like a bad person, and even said that they had seen Feng Xi beating him in the street. Is there any misunderstanding?
Xie Lian: "..."
Seeing that these wallflowers began to waver, Tianxi, Sun Qingzhi and others who were staying at the gate of the mansion immediately thought of it.
Just now, they couldn't stop people without a leader, but now isn't the prince-in-law back?
However, before they could go out, Qi Xiao made a retreat gesture to Sun Qingzhi.
While Qi Xiao and others were communicating secretly, Xie Lian also knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer, and said directly to Qi Xiao:
"Qi Xiao, you came back just in time. Everyone knows about the princess. In this case, you are no longer suitable to be in charge of the princess's mansion."
"Master Xie, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing Qi Xiao pretending to be stupid and trying to clear the air by calling him Mr. Xie, Xie Lian immediately sneered:
"As a young minister of Dali Temple, do you still need me to remind you of the Dazhao laws? As a son-in-law, you want to seize your wife's property. You know the law and break the law!"
Seeing Xie Lian's big hat being pulled down, Qi Xiao really frowned slightly.
But before he could speak, Qi Su came to the side and said hurriedly:
"Qi Xiao, listen to my uncle's advice and don't think about it if it's not ours. You're biting off more than you can chew. Your father is so brilliant, so how come you've become a villain who only wants to make money?"
"Dad, don't say that. Qi Xiao is just confused for a moment. With your guidance and Mr. Xie's guidance, he will definitely wake up!"
Seeing that Qi Yu had already opened his mouth, Xie Lang couldn't hold it in anymore.
"My surname is Qi, I will tell you today that you can't even take away a penny from the things in this house!"
Seeing Xie Lian and others being aggressive, Qi Xiao seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and said:
"Then what do you want from Qi Xiao, Master Yi Xie?"
Xie Lian was waiting for Qi Xiao's words and immediately said:
"The old man is the princess's grandfather, and I am the princess's uncle. Now that the old man is not in the capital, as an uncle, I have to protect the family property for my niece."
"Let's do this. You will take your family and move out of the princess's mansion today, and then return the keys to the palace to me. When the old man comes back, I will hand over the things intact to him and let him enter the palace to ask for the emperor's instructions."
He is not stupid.
It's true that he wants to seize the family property, but he won't make it obvious.
On the contrary, the more greedy he is, the more he has to act like he understands justice.
No, many people watching around felt that his move was very appropriate and that he was a good uncle who was considerate of his niece.
After all, a son-in-law who is often abused by his wife and has not been in the family for a long time is still not as trustworthy as his wife's grandfather and uncle.
Furthermore, how could a Duke of Ningguo and a minister of Dali Temple covet things from Princess Mo's house?
Facing the renewed discussion around him, Qi Xiao just smiled and said:
"That being the case, what if I hand over all the property of the Princess Mansion and you deny it in the future and say that I took it for myself? For such an important matter, there must be some reliable witnesses, right?"
"Aren't they enough?"
Xie Lian raised his finger and pointed at his friends, including Qi Su, but Qi Xiao had a cold look in his eyes and said:
"They have a very close personal relationship with Mr. Xie. How could I know otherwise... Otherwise, Mr. Xie might as well invite a witness tomorrow morning. His status should preferably be above that of the princess, otherwise how could he be qualified to witness this matter? "
"You! Qi Xiao, don't think that I don't know that you are stalling for time!"
Xie Lian's face turned cold, but he never thought that Qi Xiao actually nodded and said:
"Yes, I'm stalling for time. What can you do to me?"
Seeing that Xie Lian was choked and speechless, Xie Lang picked up his sleeves and wanted to help.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, two figures slowly walked down from the teahouse behind:
"Since Mr. Xie's friends cannot bear witness to this, what do you think, fifth brother-in-law, Gu and Lao Si can do it?"
At this moment, both the crown prince Feng Jing and the fourth prince Feng Yu looked elegant, handsome and graceful, attracting the attention of many people present.
It can be said that this appearance is very popular.
However, the person who answered them was not their fifth brother-in-law, but a familiar female voice:
"You have done well, you are noble, you are amazing, you are a genius, you deserve to be in the sky. Are you still a witness? If you have the ability, please put your head over it! Let's see if I can give you a great blessing!"
Feng Jing, Feng Yu, Xie Lian and others: "?"
grass!
who?
Who the hell is talking?
Ghost!
