Chapter 468: Chapter 469

When Gu Shao and Emperor Duanhua handed over, Song Yixiao sent Song Luoyan away, returned to her room to meditate for half a day, and called Mossy Jin to her heel, “You go get a post from your husband, and invite Marquis Boling to come over for a talk!”

Mossy Jin froze for a moment at his words and subconsciously said, “His Excellency has gone to the palace to visit the Dowager Empress, and won’t be back until the evening.”

Although Yuan Xue Pei’s friendship with Jian Xubai is well known, Yuan Xue Pei and Song Yixiao are after all different men and women Jian Xubai is present, even if the two people eat at the same table, there is nothing, but now that Jian Xubai is not in the mansion, if you will be called over the Marquis of Bolehn, which is the lone man and a woman to talk about things, even if there is a subordinate in the side, the rumor is not good to hear in the end?

But the words only fell, has been Song Yixiao cold horizontal glance, moss Jin a jolt, busy bowed his head and said, “Slave girl obeyed the order!”

A little more than half a day later, Tess Jin came back to report that Yuan Xue Pei had entered the mansion through the back door and was now being welcomed to the flower hall by the housekeeper.

Song Yixiao got up and straightened her dress, and after taking Bell to the flower hall, she saw Yuan Xue Pei in civilian clothes already drinking tea, so she waved her hand and told everyone to retreat.

At the end of the day, he opened the door and asked, “What exactly is going on over at Song Lu’s side?”

“What can it be?” Yuan Xue Pei looked up at her calmly, put down the tea bowl, leaned against the back of the chair, and spoke out faintly, “The King of Liang moves frequently, and Gu Shao can no longer tolerate it. Song Lu’s early into the king of Liang’s calculations, not pinch Gu Shao expose the king of Liang before getting out, and so the king of Liang implemented the crime of plotting to usurp the throne, which they have half a chance of survival? After all, Gu Shao has now been the most important person, other things he can help to exculpate, this treason, he does not prevent the fire from Song Lu’s mother and son burned to his head is not bad, which still have the heart to care about Song Lu’s mother and son’s life and death?”

“You speak as if you have nothing to do with these matters?!” Song Yixiao sneered, swept a sharp glance at him, and said, “You haven’t done much to help His Highness the King of Liang these days, have you? I thought that the important person and important thing you told me about at first was the King of Liang? At that time, you swore that you had your own measure, but now you don’t know where your measure is?!”

It was only after last year’s summer vacation that the emperor returned to the imperial capital with the Empress Dowager and Empress Su.

After Song Yixiao freed her hands, she had planned to continue to track down the death of her birth mother, Wei Mengying.

At that time, she had already suspected Yuan Xue Pei, but Yuan Xue Pei first sent an invitation to invite her out for a private meeting.

During that meeting, he told Song Yixiao two things: the first was the truth about the deaths of Song Yuan and Wei Mengying; the second, however, had a great deal to do with Jian Xu Bai.

Song Yixiao saw him that time, originally intended to mainly solve the first matter, but in the end, his mind was attracted by the second matter, so even the first matter acquiesced to Yuan Xue Pei’s request, and stopped there, not to pursue the matter.

At that time, Yuan Xue Pei persuaded her by saying, “I grew up with A Xu since we were young, you may not believe in my character, but A Xu is your husband, don’t you know it well? Even you are suspicious of me, let alone him. He is willing to trust me, don’t you trust his eyesight?”

And, “A Xu is not a single person like us, behind him are many elders, not to mention the deep palace of the Dowager Empress Dowager, not to mention the Grand Princess of the State of Jin, alone will soon become your fatherinlaw of the three uncles of the Jane, is the old lady Duanmu personally cultivated adults, you think he looks sickly is good to bully and good to fool?”

He spoke of his own disability again, “My knee bones are shattered to the bone, I can’t recover at all! Even though I have the title of Marquis of Boling, I can’t go to the court to deliberate, what am I harming A Xu for? With A Xu here, he can protect me now, and in the future, he can bring up my heir. Harming A Xu is tantamount to destroying my own castle! Mrs. Song please think about it, am I such a ratbrained person?!”

Song Yixiao chose to believe him in the end after much deliberation.

But now the storm caused by Song Lu’s is just too big even though most people do not know about it yet, but once the matter of King Liang’s intention to usurp the throne is exposed, it can be said that this storm, which has already begun to show its beginnings, is bound to develop into a monstrous wave in the shortest possible time!

Thinking about that kind of situation, how could Song Yixiao dare to take it lightly?

At this moment, she stared at Yuan Xue Pei and asked in a cold voice, “At first, you said that it was for my husband’s consideration, and said that there would be absolutely no problem, I was thinking of my husband’s sake, so I didn’t ask you to make it clear, and then I believed you, and I have kept my promise and always stood by all these days now Song Lu’s suddenly came to such a hand. came with such a hand, don’t tell me you don’t have any countermeasures!”

Said here and doubt, “I went to the prison to visit Song Lu’s, listen to her tone, this time things, is she in order to seek life in death, with the Song family those world servants after private discussion, and did not discuss with the King of Liang and you. But her that city, was sold by people may also help count money, I do not believe her words. So this time she this hand, in the end is really hit you a surprise, or you have prepared, just hit the target?”

It wasn’t that she was underestimating Song Lu, but Song Lu genuinely didn’t have much talent for hooking up.

So Song Lu thought it was a desperate risk after painstakingly planning, maybe it was calculated to be a gunman, it is not known!

Sure enough, after hearing Song Yixiao’s query, Yuan Xue Pei’s mouth revealed a sarcastic smile as she said, ”After all, it’s your mother’s family, although I know that you don’t have much goodwill towards them. But who asked Jiangnan Hall to be so thinly populated? I thought that if the whole army was destroyed, you may change your mind someday, heartbroken, but it became my fault so I took the opportunity to advise the King of Liang, persuaded him to loosen his grip, and gave Song Lu a chance! However, I also want to say in front: the opportunity is given to Song Lu’s, Jiangnan Hall in the end can not be saved, this I dare not give you a guarantee!”

“If you can’t keep it, forget it!” Song Yixiao felt upset when she thought of the mess in Jiangnan Hall, “So, you guys expected Song Lu to make this mess this time? Then what are you going to do next? Don’t tell me that King Liang has the ability to replace His Majesty after secretly doing this a few times! Don’t forget that there is still the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace!”

Yuan Xue Pei smiled and said, “Why anticipate? If Gu Shao Ruo is really a good cook, the late emperor was a wise man, and there are many talented people in the country, why should he be the only one to assist his majesty? His Majesty is certainly good at talking, but this one has never been good at fooling from the very beginning, whether it was King Liang or me, we were all prepared to be discovered by him!”

“Then you’re still traveling in this muddy water?” Song Yixiao pinched her brow and asked in disbelief.

But for all the questions, she was calmer now.

She didn’t really trust Yuan Xue Pei’s character, and she didn’t dare to say how much she knew about Yuan Xue Pei.

But she is very confident in Yuan Xue Pei’s cunning this person is not a selfseeking master, even if his biggest worry Yuan Xue Calyx has Lu Guan Lun to take care of Yuan Xue Pei has no children, when the siblings lost their parents at a young age, and it is not easy to survive until today! He would be willing to lose his name and reputation?

Therefore, Yuan Xue Pei still had the time to come over and talk to her, so it was obvious that the situation was still within his ability to cope with.

“Gu Shao basically hasn’t really put up a fight since the uprising.” Yuan Xue Pei snorted and said, “Those who are unfamiliar with him may still think that this Chancellor is old and therefore not energetic enough; but for those who know him well, who can’t see that he’s steadily sitting in a fishing boat?”

He said in a somewhat mocking tone, “Although Gu Shao is the Crown Prince’s teacher, and a veteran minister left to His Majesty by the late Emperor, His Majesty has always treated him with respect. But honestly speaking, the relationship between His Majesty and him is not considered deep, after all, there is a saying that love is born over time, and Gu Shao has only worked with His Majesty for a few years in total, from the time of the restoration until now?”

“The fact that he can have his current position in front of His Majesty is actually mainly due to His Majesty’s respect for the late Emperor.”

“And while His Majesty respects him, in terms of rapport and closeness, in the end, it’s not as good as it is for Hollow and King Liang.”

After all, these two in the back, not only had they spent more time with Emperor Duanhua, they were also blood relatives of Emperor Duanhua.

“Even if King Liang doesn’t plot against us, His Majesty has always felt that his talents are mediocre, and that’s just fine.”

“A Xu’s ability is not a bad reputation, but in the past two years, A Xu is still young, in terms of reputation and experience in politics are not as good as Gu Shao.”

“In a few years A Xu sharpened out, and there are people such as Uncle Jane and others to assistit won’t take ten years, above this court, whether it will still be Gu Shao’s family dominance, it’s hard to say!”

Yuan Xue Pei heatedly said, “At that time, just like that grandfather of yours, Jian Le Zhi, with Gu Shao, you will have to fight with each other!”

“And who has His Majesty’s trust more, A Xu or Gu Shao?”

“Apparently it’s A Hollow so if Gu Shao doesn’t want to be driven back to his old age in disgrace like he was that time, do you think he’ll have no thoughts about the Holy Family?”

“After all, didn’t he lose that year on the top intention?!”

“Or do you think that Gu Shao, who is old and strong and only intends to bow and scrape for this dynasty for a decade or eight, will have the good sense to give way to A Hollow’s class?”

“To have a deep bond between a ruler and a subject, aside from getting along for a long time and developing a love for each other over time, it’s nothing more than doing a few things that move the ruler ever since His Majesty ascended to the throne, Gu Shao has been standing by and doing nothing to help with the dilemma His Majesty has been facing, aside from taking care of the imperial government.”

“But before, when the Dowager Empress was furious, he suddenly stepped forward and relieved His Majesty!”

“One can guess what he said to His Majesty when he entered the palace today, which was nothing more than lifting up the late emperor’s entrustment, and describing his previous inactivity as allowing His Majesty to increase his experience in handling matters so that he can make early decisions in a dry manner.”

“As for stopping the Empress Dowager’s wrath this time, that is of course proof of his loyalty to protect His Majesty!”

“I bet he’ll also take advantage of the situation and expose King Liang while he’s coaxing that His Majesty of ours!”

Yuan Xue Pei disdainfully said, “according to our that his majesty’s good to fool, must listen to very touched, before with him to ask for advice to no avail of the annoyance are forgotten, and in turn think that he is a loyal subjects his majesty in the future to ask for advice, or he took the initiative to his majesty to play things, his majesty must be more trustworthy him! ”

“To put it simply, he has watched His Majesty’s hilarity for more than two years, and during these two years or so, because of the inexperienced His Majesty’s cowardice in disposing of many things without his help in advising him, His Majesty is so far less revered by the court than the late Emperor; and His Majesty still thinks, at present, that he is a great and good man!”

Yuan Xue Pei said here, revealing a seeming smile, saying, “This old man is in the end the master who has been famous all over the world since he was twenty years old, this hand is really playing beautifully!”

Song Yi smile patiently. Hear here, originally on the light frowning eyebrows can not help but wrinkled more tightly, “know Gu Shao is His Majesty said before the matter of the king of Liang, you with the king of Liang those first and last, in the end, how do you plan to do? Again with these bullshit to stall me, don’t blame me with your face!”

Seeing her really want to get angry, Yuan Xue Pei also dare not be slow, convergence of the mocking form, colorful said, “You can rest assured! These early in the calculation, this pass King Liang peacefully through the odds …”

He smiled meaningfully, “At least eighty percent!”

“Eighty percent?” Song Yixiao raised an eyebrow, “That high?”

Her mind flickered and her face instantly turned cold, ”Although His Majesty is generous in nature, he is not confused! The threat of the two kings of Su Xiang is still present, but King Liang, his sibling brother, even jumped out to add to the chaos! Even if he is His Majesty’s only sibling, how could His Majesty let him off lightly?”

Song Yi smiled so coldly, “You can’t tell me that King Liang’s counting on passing this time is not only related to Song Lu’s deeds, but will also drag the Empress Dowager and I into the water, right?!”

“This well …” Yuan Xue Pei sniffed, revealing a somewhat embarrassed smile, raised the tea bowl toward her, and sincerely said, “So just as soon as I saw the post I rushed to come, didn’t I? This is not to remind you earlier, so that you can make preparations early?”

Seeing Song Yixiao look at his own gaze cold, Yuan Xue Pei carefully compensated for the smile, “This pass for the Empress and the Lady, can not be very difficult … right?”
