Vol 4 Chapter 470: The Palace of Tongues

Of course Xie Xiyu did not admit the impeachment of Mrs. Gu!
In fact, many people in the front harem knew that he did not do this thing.
It's not that he is good-natured, but because Xie Xiyu doesn't look like he has this ability!
Many people speculate privately that the one who can make Gu Fangshu plant such a big somersault is either an imperial concubine or a consort... In fact, the possibility of Xie Wuzheng is not very high.
After all, in everyone's opinion, Xie Wuzheng didn't seem to have any special record.
Even if there are some surprises occasionally, considering that he is the concubine Min's first-in-law cousin, it seems nothing unusual.
One is Yun Fenghuang's emperor's favorite in the harem, and the convenience provided to his brothers is really not what ordinary people can have; second, the identity of Sui An's horse also brings great benefits to Xie Wuzheng.
This is not very convincing, but it makes people jealous of luck.
On the contrary, Yun Fenghuang, the master who started from scratch and killed all the way, no one dare to underestimate it.
So everyone thinks that Gu Fangshu’s second assassination has nothing to do with the imperial concubine. It was because the Gu clan drove out the biggest competitor ahead of time for the position of the crown prince. Either it was led by the imperial concubine or for the crown prince’s position. Drive out the biggest competitor...
When it comes to the East Palace, the front harem is very cautious.
"In return to your Majesty, Mrs. Gu's words are simply words!" This is a big deal, and Chunjia is not relieved when it is handed over to the people underneath, so he simply presides over the trial in person.
In the presence of the civil and military courts and the emperor, Xie Xiyu stretched his forehead and sternly shouted, "The minister has never met with Long Pinghou and his family, let alone instigating his concubine to murder Long Pinghou?! Again, the minister. Is there any reason to do this!?"
Grandpa Gu said indifferently: "Naturally, because the old man's granddaughter is a queen, he once warned the imperial concubine. You are the brother of the imperial concubine's mother. It is rumored that you have always had good relations with the imperial concubine..."
"The old lady Gu is afraid that he doesn't know enough about the concubine empress." Xie Xiyu sneered without waiting for him to finish speaking, and said, "The imperial concubine empress is clever and smart, and she has won the trust of her majesty. The district admonishment of the queen empress, how can the imperial concubine empress heart? Besides, even if the imperial concubine has a grudge against her, she is in the harem with the empress, how can she have a bad theory with the empress and use me?"
This is what Xie Xiyu said from the heart: what kind of misunderstanding does the old Gu family have about Laozi's sister?
Lao Tzu's sister still needs Lao Tzu to help her out?
She can even clean up the brothers like Lao Tzu!
Xie Xiyu even implied in turn that everyone knew that in the harem, the imperial concubine often suppressed the queen, but the queen had nothing to do with the imperial concubine.
So this matter is very clear, it is the descendants deliberately planted!
The children of the Xie family, not to mention that they are very dysfunctional now, and they are simply unable to do small actions...Even if the Xie family hadn't happened before, they were at the level of Long Pinghou?
All in all, this pot of Xie's does not memorize it!
Mrs. Gu directly sent a variety of evidence to prove that Xie Xiyu had various connections with the Dingbei Army.
Among them, the most eye-catching thing is that Xie Xiyu has frequent contacts with Qi Jiulu, the deputy general who rescued Longpinghou this time.
Although no one has dared to talk openly about Yun Fenghuang’s appointment with Qi Jiulu in the past two years, the Ji clan and the Regent used to make a fuss about this matter. There are a lot of people, and there are still many old people here. When he noticed this, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
How could Xie Xiyu ignore this? His heart jumped immediately, and he subconsciously glanced quickly.
But seeing the emperor Mianqi neat and tidy, his face was covered, and there was no happiness or anger at all.
"...Your Majesty Mingjian, Xie Qi is in the Huizhou City, and the minister and Vice-General Qi have known each other for a while, is it not human nature?" Xie Xiyu had to bite the bullet and argue himself, "Is this still suspicious?"
Old Mrs. Gu sneered: "Really? But according to the old man’s report, Mr. Xie is a few years older than Vice-General Qi, and his temperament was not the same since he was a child... Before Concubine Min came to the Imperial Capital, Mr. Xie and Vice-General Qi had almost none. Anyone go in private! It was only after Concubine Min left Northland that you and Lieutenant General Qi began to meet frequently! Moreover, after each meeting, you will immediately report to Madam Lingtang Jiang. It is rumored that Madam Jiang would sit down and sigh every time he heard... This is also called always having contacts?"
When this was said, the eyes of the people around were a little subtle.
Ministers such as Yi Guogong who were loyal to Chunjia looked more and more ugly.
After all, Concubine Min defended herself many times at the beginning, saying that she and Qi Jiulu were totally determined by the family. The two did not have any deep feelings, but just obeyed their parents' orders.
Although the Ji family and the Regent both tried to veto them, the imperial concubine's rhetoric was unequivocal, and Chun Jiaduo had backed up. The same was true of Beidi's rhetoric. Everyone was deliberately discredited by the Ji family and the regent.
But now looking at it, the Xie family and the Qi family are clearly still disconnected in private after the marriage contract is dissolved. Is this...? ? ?
Xie Xiyu saw sweat on his forehead and cursed it secretly in his heart.
He really didn't expect that the Gu family had been investigating things for so long.

This is indeed a fact, because at that time the Jiang family did not expect Yun Fenghuang to enter the palace. Although Jiang arranged for Yun Fenghuang to come to the Imperial Capital, he planned to find a husband here who didn’t know about Xie Fenghu, but considering Qi Jiulu’s love Yu Li is a good candidate for son-in-law, especially not reconciled to let Chao Jingyou benefit, Jiang's forefoot sent her daughter away, and Qi Jiulu's back foot began to win over Qi Jiulu.
As the wife of the Xie family, she is usually very busy, and there are differences between men and women, even if they are separated by seniority, it is indeed not good to meet Qi Jiulu from time to time.
In this way, an intermediary is naturally needed.
Jiang Clan has no shortage of slaves who run errands. They just get over this kind of thing, and they can't let the slaves come forward every time. Sometimes people with higher status are needed to be able to show that she treats Qi Jiulu as her own son, isn't it?
So Xie Xiyu, who was not familiar with Qi Jiulu before, had to act as a messenger for Jiang Clan for a period of time.
Xie Xiyu's qualifications were indeed not as good as Yun Fenghuang's. At this moment, he choked unexpectedly, and he didn't even think of saying a word.
It was his teacher and father-in-law Cui Wan who saw that the situation was not good and stood up and said roundly: "As everyone knows, it was not the fault of Concubine Min that Xie and Qi retired! As the brother of Concubine Min, how can Xie Xiyu not be aggrieved by his sisters? Concubine Min was still in the North, and she still needed to consider the fame of her younger sisters. Later, after Concubine Min left, Xie Xiyu frequently went with Vice-Qi. It was brother and sister friendship, but it had nothing to do with others!"
I was not familiar with it before, so what if my younger sister retired from the family and stayed away from her homeland, so what about it?
How do you know that people didn't vent their anger to the younger sister and ran to beat others?
After all, retiring is not because Concubine Min did something wrong. In these years, if retiring, whether it is the responsibility of the man or the woman, it is not good for the girl after all.
Didn’t Concubine Min leave the Imperial Capital because of this?
That being the case, when the brothers angered the Qi clan, he would beat Qi Jiulu when he was okay. Is there a problem?
To be fair, it may be a little overbearing, but at this moment, it's not overbearing, it's brother and sister love.
Old Mrs. Gu sneered: "Master Xie just said that the concubine is smart and smart, and he doesn't need him!"
Cui Wan is not a young child like Xie Xiyu who has never experienced temple warfare. She is very calm: "The imperial concubine was twelve when she left Northland. She was fashionable and a half-aged child; but she was already in time when she entered the palace. Furthermore, The imperial concubine was quite depressed when she left the North; but when she saw her blood relatives in the palace, she was not depressed!"
People will grow up. Can a twelve-year-old imperial concubine be the same as a fifteen-year-old imperial concubine?
Besides, with regard to the series of achievements of the imperial concubine after entering the palace, whoever thinks that the imperial concubine needs protection for anyone with a conscience?
Before that, Yun Fenghuang didn't have such a dazzling performance.
If she had it, the Prince Yiguo Mansion would not be a fool, so how could she get such a little ancestor into the palace?
"After the deputy general Qi joined the army, Master Xie still had close contacts with him. How do you explain it?" Old lady Gu's eyes flashed sharply, and there was no attack. He only continued to question calmly, "At that time, the deputy general Qi was not only married, but even had The eldest daughter! And the noble concubine, has already served your majesty! Is it because Master Xie still feels unreasonable and needs the trouble of finding relatives and lieutenants from time to time?"
If this is the case, the implications are very puzzling.
Normally, my sister has been retired from relatives, and the anger of the man is logical, but if the sister marries another high, even if there is a little more anger, it will basically pass.
Especially when both parties have their own people, when the elder brother continues to find the man's fault, what does this mean?
Do you feel that your sister is aggrieved after entering the palace and the emperor's favor, so you feel resentful?
Or do you think the man should continue to guard for his sister outside the palace? ? ?
The cold sweat on Xie Xiyu's back was another layer of sweat. This was not because he was timid, but because he was afraid that he might make a mistake in his answer and cause huge trouble to Yun Fenghuang and Xie Wuzheng.
He squeezed his palms, and then said in a deep voice, "Xiaguan and Vice-General Qi are in Sangzi. Although there is a difference in age, so that they are not familiar with each other since childhood, after all, the folks in the village. The fact that the younger sister was retired from relatives really angered Lieutenant Qi for a long time. But as the saying goes, I didn’t know each other without fighting. Later, the lower official was very close to Lieutenant Qi, so I had contacts."
"Speaking of which, the children of the Xie family and the Qi family had originally met each other as brothers and virtuous brothers."
"how?"
"Just because the two families have retired from relatives and have had a bad relationship, can't they turn their fights into jade?"
Old Mrs. Gu squinted, looked at him quietly for a moment, and then slowly said: "So that's it...but the old man has misunderstood thanking the Lord..."
Suddenly he was so easy to talk, but Xie Xiyu didn't dare to neglect, and he was a little surprised for a while.
But when Mr. Gu turned to Dan Chi, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, it seems that the minister has misunderstood the chief Xie. Although the chief Xie has been with Vice-Qi frequently in the past two years, it must have been a personal relationship, but in fact there is no inner relationship."
Upon seeing this, although Xie Xiyu didn't know why he gave up so quickly, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Who knows, in the next moment, Old Madam Gu said something that made him go wild!
