Chapter 229 Accident in the Palace
After entering the room, she sat down on the couch, took a sip of the tea offered by Rui'er.Looking up and seeing her worried expression, she said, "Don't worry, I've already thought about it. If I'm divorced, I'll take you out. Although I don't have a natal family, I still have a dowry and a Zhuangzi shop." , this life is enough for us to go down. I don't believe that there is no place for me in this world!"

"Why did grandma say that!" Rui'er hurriedly said, "I'm not worried about this. We have endured for so many years, and we have suffered so much. It's cheap for him to smash a few rooms! I'm just worried, this time it's Eighth Girl Let me tell you that the relationship between the third house and the head house is bad because of the matter of the third wife, in case Mr. He takes his anger on the eighth girl because of this—"

"He dares!" Liuli's face sank, and the cup was thrown onto the table, "If he dares to touch Auntie Su and Huan'er with a finger, I won't smash things, I'll just hit people!"

Rui'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "I know grandma is amazing." She said and retreated to prepare lunch.

After returning from exercising in He Mansion this morning, why don't you make some delicious food to replenish her strength?
Liuli also knew that she looked like a shrew, so she also smiled, got up and went inside to change clothes and remove makeup.

After changing her clothes, Qi Yunhao came in, sat by her dressing table, looked at her for a while, and then said: "How much are those things you smashed in Hefu estimated to be worth?"

Liuli paused, then turned around, "I reckon, it's only five or six thousand taels of silver. Don't worry, general, I will draw this from my own account. I've done the math, and the big villager in the eastern suburbs spent a year The income is enough, and there is no need to use my dowry money at all, let alone the public money."

Qi Yunhao gave her a gouged look, "Be careful!"

Liuli raised her lips, then turned back to let Fusang do her makeup.Qi Yunhao would know that she was not surprised that she smashed things, Li Xing would not bring soldiers into the long room for no reason, really just to invite her back home?So since he asked, she wasn't afraid to tell him.

Just waiting for him to ask why he smashed someone's house, he suddenly said: "Leave this matter to me, you don't have to worry about it."

When Liuli turned around, he had already got up and left the door.

Before leaving, Liuli threw 500 taels of bank notes on He Yuli's face, which was specially brought by Rui'er in case of emergencies. Anyway, if He Yuli has that face and the palace asks for money, she will wait, so I pray Yun Hao said he would do it, Liu Li didn't think too deeply, anyway, he has plenty of ways to deal with He Cunli, why would she stop him?

Everyone knew that Liuli had the habit of taking a nap, so after lunch, the maids waited for her to lie down, and all the maids withdrew.When there was no one in the room, she got up again, took out the letter written by Xu Yuan from under the mat, and continued to read.

It turned out that after Liuli and Qi Yunhao got engaged, they wrote a letter to Xu Yuan and Jin Xuan. At that time, they both replied to the letter and expressed their congratulations. Afterwards, they communicated several times. At the meeting, both of them also brought makeup gifts. It can be said that everything is very normal.But in the next few months, there was no information.This time the letter was signed on the third day of April, even if it was almost two months before Liuli got married, it was enough to send two letters back and forth, this was one of Liuli's doubts.

The second doubt is that in this letter from Uncle Xu, he once again mentioned the relic left by his grandfather in the White Horse Temple when he came to Beijing last time. As far as he knows, someone has already secretly investigated it. The reason why I know it is because when I went to visit my grandfather's grave in Qingming, I heard people in the town at the foot of the mountain say that someone was asking about Mr. Lan Qing's identity and his former residence.

Grandpa's former residence was abandoned because Xu Niang left Beijing with Liuli.And most of the things in the house were sold off, and the things that came with them were sold out, and there was nothing left at all.So even if someone has any intentions there, if he wants to find something, he will definitely not find it.And my grandfather had never been involved in any political disputes, and he resigned from office in a serious manner, so it is impossible to have anything else tied to him.

Uncle Xu knew this well, so he was sure that most of what these people were looking for was the box in the White Horse Temple.

Holding the letter, Liuli frowned unconsciously.She always wanted to get the copper box as soon as possible to see what was inside, but she never found the other copper spoon Xu Shishu mentioned, so the matter was left here.And that year He Yuli took her to the White Horse Temple alone, and she also felt that the monk Yongxin must have known his grandfather, at least there was something to do with him, otherwise He Yuli would not have taken her there—of course, she speculated afterwards After a while, he also understood that He Yuli actually knew who Xu Niang's daughter was, and that his grandfather was actually Xu Shen who had retired from seclusion.Although he didn't know whether he knew Xu Niang's identity from the time he knew her, or if he only learned about it later, in short, she suddenly understood He Cunli's intention to get her into He Fu.

So, she knew that He Cunli had always wanted to get something from her, but she didn't understand the truth.Now that there are people looking for the copper box left by grandpa, and He Yuli took her to the White Horse Temple, could it be that he is looking for the same thing as those people?
When she came back from the White Horse Temple, she thought that she must find an opportunity to go to the temple to look for Yongxin and ask the truth, but she never thought that something like that would happen, and later on, she no longer had the intention to do this again.

Perhaps, she should go to the White Horse Temple again.

She folded the letter and put it in an envelope.After thinking about it, he pulled it out again, dug out the flint from the drawer, lit it, threw it into the incense burner and burned it.

Qi Yunhao didn't go out in the afternoon, when Liuli got up, she wanted to talk to him about going to the White Horse Temple to offer incense, but she heard Rui'er said that Prince Qing is here, and the general is playing chess with him in the Bisong Pavilion, so she also Never mind.Anyway, going to the temple to offer incense on the first day of the lunar new year is also a common practice in this dynasty, so we simply go when we are ready.

Naturally, I had to go to Rongxi Hall before dinner.Yuhua probably didn't know that she ruined her mother's family, and she didn't look particularly bad at Liuli.Mrs. Mei just made an exception and asked about the health of her in-laws, that's all.

On the contrary, King Dingbei returned to the mansion on the way, his face was not hesitant, and he seemed to be preoccupied.Liuli offered him a cup of tea, he glanced at her, thought for a while, but didn't say anything, and waved her away.

The next day Liuli was not feeling well, her menstruation came, and while she was lying on the couch reading a book, Ruier hurried in and said: "Something happened in the palace."

When Qi Yunhao came back with her edict, she also said that something happened in the palace, but she didn't pay attention to it at the time, and now seeing Rui'er's serious face, she asked, "What happened? What happened to you?" Know?"

Rui'er stood under the couch and said: "Last night, the lord called the general and the other lords to the study, and someone heard the lord say that His Majesty's health has gone wrong, and he has been lying on the bed for almost a month! Now that the upper court has been changed to the Qianqing Palace, the Habayashi Army will deploy troops to guard the gates of various palaces from now on, and the prince has also received an order to dispatch troops to guard the gates of various cities in the middle of the capital, so as not to prevent troubles below .”

Liuli was startled, and unconsciously sat up straight.

It turned out that Sheng Gong violated the peace, no wonder it was said that something happened in the palace.But isn't His Majesty quite healthy in the impression?There is no bad news, why have you been sick for so long all of a sudden?According to this, Qi Yunhao's busyness these days can also be explained. There is a problem with the Eucharist, which is a major event. As a general, he must be on standby at any time, in case someone takes the opportunity to cause chaos.

But yesterday King Qing suddenly came to the mansion again—the crown prince and King Qing are two fierce tigers in the dynasty. The Holy Majesty loves it, and everyone knows that King Qing covets the position of the crown prince. At this moment, every move between the two of them can be said to arouse people's infinite reverie.

In short, Liuli's conferment failed to be announced by the palace servants in public, and she had completely believed that it was related to this matter.Regardless of whether Qi Yunhao is on King Qing's side or the Crown Prince's side, if the Dingbei Palace, which holds the military power, wants to confer a second-rank seal in a grand manner at this moment, it will inevitably be borrowed. This incident has pushed the palace to the forefront.

After sorting out these things, I understand Qi Yunhao's painstaking efforts a little bit more.

In the afternoon when I went to Rongxi Hall, I saw that Mei's face was also a bit cautious. When she saw her, she didn't carry a gun with her stick as usual, but let her and Yuhua sit down, and said: "The Holy Majesty The dragon body is against the law, the lord and the lords have been busy outside recently, we must have a sense of proportion when we go in and out, whether we are visiting other houses or going to the relatives of our natal family, we must be careful about our tongue , don’t give someone a handle.”

Liuli nodded yes.

Yuhua also complied, and took advantage of the situation to sweep towards her, and the hatred there was cut like a knife.

Liu Li knew it well, knowing that someone in He Fu must have sent her a message, so she simply twitched her lips.

She had never served her parents-in-law in the main courtyard for dinner, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, she braced herself and went back to the room when she saw that Mrs. Mei passed on the meal.

Qi Yunhao really didn't stay at home very much this time, sometimes he didn't come back for two or three days, sometimes he left early and came back late, because he didn't sleep in the same room, he didn't go back to the house when Liuli was sleeping, and he had already left when he woke up. Day never met.It happened that Hanxue didn't show up for the past two days, which made Liuli almost forget that she still has a husband.

It rained heavily at noon that day, and the humidity made people feel tired. Liuli took the medicine prescribed by Wu Zixin, and lay on the couch, flipping through Fan Yun's account book for this month's expenses, fainting. When she was about to fall asleep, Yue Gui walked in on Yu Fen'er, clapped her hands and said, "Grandma! Tell you a happy story!"
