Qu Lian naturally knew that Xu Qingmo's words were meant for the coachman. He came out in a hurry today and did not find the coachman who usually drove. Today, this is what the lady is used to, and she talks a lot.
"Girl, the theater is here!" The carriage stopped at the door of the theater.
Qu Lian got out of the car first, and then helped Xu Qingmo get out of the carriage. Xu Qingmo handed a purse to the driver: "We are here, I'm afraid we have to stay for a while. You go have a sip of tea and some snacks, and when the show is over, Come pick me up again!"
The coachman accepted it with a smile and left.
Xu Qingmo entered the theater, and the boy hurriedly came forward: "Girl, why are you here at this time today? We have already sung more than half of the play."
"It doesn't matter, what I like to listen to happens to be most of the latter part." Xu Qingmo said with a smile.
The boy smiled and nodded: "Girl, let's go to that private room?"
"Of course!" Qu Lian stepped forward and took out a purse from her arms, "I would like to ask one more question, is the private room next door empty today?"
The boy paused. Meng Hetong had bought him out a long time ago, so every time Xu Qingmo came to this theater, Meng Hetong would come here by chance without even a stick of incense.
Later, the news about Meng Hetong and Xu Qingmo's engagement came out, and the young man was secretly happy for a while, feeling that he had a hand in this marriage. However, he knew that Meng Hetong had a bad reputation, so he often regretted it, and felt that he was more or less still. Some of them harmed Xu Qingmo.
But now that Qu Lian suddenly mentioned this matter, the young man immediately understood. It turned out that this girl Xu had long known these little tricks between him and Yongchang Hou. It was just that these two people were Zhou Yu playing Huang Gai, one wish and the other wish. Just suffer.
The boy smiled and answered: "It's empty now, but Marquis Yongchang sent a message earlier, saying that he wanted to come and sit for a while today. He came here in about a stick of incense."
Qu Lian nodded and followed Xu Qingmo upstairs.
The boy stood there and watched for a long time, his face full of confusion: "Why did Miss Xu fall in love with that bastard Yongchang Hou!"
It happened that the shopkeeper heard this and knocked the boy on the head: "They are called talented men and beautiful women, and they are well matched. From ancient times to the present, only people like them live happily! No matter what, it is always better. Those wealthy ladies follow poor scholars.”
The boy was beaten, put the purse into his pocket without saying a word, and then silently went out to find Meng Hetong.
Xu Qingmo drank a cup of tea in the private room, and Meng Hetong hurried over, probably in a hurry, and sweat broke out on his forehead: "Why are you here in the theater at this time? What happened? "
When Xu Qingmo saw Meng Hetong, he slowly and unconsciously let go of the hand he had been holding tightly: "I just went to see Keerqi."
Meng Hetong walked to Xu Qingmo and sat down: "What next?"
"There are two seriously injured people in Korqi's yard. They are the agents from Northern Xinjiang who were ambushed here before. All the agents from Northern Xinjiang are being strangled. Those who are strangulating them include people from Northern Xinjiang and people from Central Plains. "Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong and said word by word, "You should understand what it means!"
Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo. Of course he understood what it meant. The people from Northern Xinjiang and the Central Plains joining forces could only mean one thing. Someone in the court had joined forces with the second prince from Northern Xinjiang!
"You have said before that those who assassinated you have a very stable lower body. You must know that when people from the Central Plains practice, they care more about flexibility, so few people can play a very solid lower body. But the Bei Xinjiang people are different. They are sons and daughters on horseback. They have been wrestling since childhood, riding horses and shooting arrows. Their lower body is surprisingly stable. I suspect that those who assassinated you are from northern Xinjiang." Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong and said word by word .
Meng Hetong frowned slightly: "You have someone to suspect, right?"
"Prince!" Xu Qingmo put down the cup in his hand, "From the beginning to the end, I only suspected it was him."
Meng Hetong frowned slightly: "My people have been keeping an eye on him, and I don't have any evidence to prove that he is colluding with the people from Northern Xinjiang!"
"There is no one around him anymore. He needs to cultivate the strength of the Crown Princess's natal family. As long as our Xu family is here and the Yan family is here with the generals, they will never be able to get ahead. Don't you understand this truth?" Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong for a long time. , then reached out and held his hand, "Do you believe me?"
Meng Hetong looked at the slender jade fingers attached to the back of his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Xu Qingmo, this is a honey trap!"
Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong with clear eyes: "Yes, then are you going to fall into this trap?"
"I'm not stupid, of course I'm going to win!" Meng Hetong's eyes lit up, "What do you want me to do?"
"Thoroughly investigate the assassination!" Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong, "You should investigate it yourself and avoid His Majesty's eyes!"
"That's it?" Meng Hetong was a little surprised, "It's such a trivial matter, you don't need to say anything!"
"Of course there is one more important thing." Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong and said coldly, "There is civil strife in Northern Xinjiang. It is impossible for Your Majesty to bring Princess Zhaoyang back through negotiations between the two countries. Therefore, the two countries War is unavoidable, and the only one who can challenge the northern frontier is my father and eldest brother. The frontier is in a hurry, and food and grass go first. I hope you can take over this matter and don't let the Yan family interfere."
"How do you know that the Yan family will definitely intervene?" Meng Hetong was a little surprised, "Xu Qingmo, I always feel like you know something that we don't know yet!"
Xu Qingmo paused, then withdrew his hand: "Then do you want to help me do this?"
Meng Hetong grabbed Xu Qingmo's hand: "I just questioned it and you took your hand back. Then your beauty trap is not good enough!"
Xu Qingmo glanced at his tightly held hand and subconsciously turned back to look at Qu Lian, but he didn't expect that Qu Lian had gone to the corner to talk to Yu Sheng early and didn't pay attention to them at all.
It was at this time that Xu Qingmo suddenly discovered that Yusheng had established a relationship with Qu Lian long ago. She turned back to look at Meng Hetong: "You had expected them to be like this?"
"I don't have your scheming skills!" Meng Hetong shook his head, and then gently squeezed Xu Qingmo's hand, "I always feel that there is something on your mind that you haven't told me, but it doesn't matter, since you said it , I will do it, after all, you will be my wife from now on, there is no way you can harm me."
Xu Qingmo's face turned redder and he took back his hand: "That will happen in the future too. Who knows if I will harm you now?"
"You can hurt me if you want to. You've fallen into a beauty trap, what else can you do?" Meng Hetong smiled, with a look of helplessness on his face.
