Chapter 155 Engaging with the Pang Mansion
Chapter 155 Engaging with the Pang Mansion
Ye Xingze was about to take a rest when he heard a sound from the window. It was Fu Qi who opened the window. He stretched out his hand to help someone come in, "Why are you here?"
"It's all right at night, I ran into the Queen Mother just now," Fu Qi raised his chin at the door to signal, he is weak, and it is not very convenient to do such big movements as opening the window, so he had to tug on Ye Xingze's sleeve, "I Come and hide here."
"There are no other palaces here, so they probably came to look for me." Ye Xingze looked in the direction of the gate and clicked his tongue irritably. Feeling that the Queen Mother was endless, he asked Fu Qi to hide in the bedroom inside, " It is troublesome for you to do this, I heard His Majesty say that next year, you will be allowed to live outside the palace, and it will be more convenient then."
As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door, and Eunuch Jiang's voice came in, "Master, this servant is here to give you something at the Queen Mother's order."
Ye Xingze glanced into the bedroom, but didn't find Fu Qi, and didn't notice where Fu Qi was hiding, so he said loudly, "Come in."
Most of the gifts from the queen mother were eating utensils, and a table was set up, "Ye Shizi, the queen mother heard that you don't need the servants of the palace. Whatever you can send them."
Ye Xingze looked at these four or five little eunuchs, they all lowered their heads, couldn't see their expressions clearly, they just bowed their heads to salute, everyone brought them, and he couldn't ask to take them back, Ye Xingze just cupped his hands and said with a smile, "The emperor Aunt is considerate."
After finally sending Eunuch Jiang away, Ye Xingze turned his head and looked at the four eunuchs standing in the door, "Go out and guard."
The four eunuchs retreated together. Ye Xingze sat at the table, feeling that something was wrong. Was it four eunuchs or five eunuchs just now?
Ye Xingze thought that his eyes were dazzled, so he didn't think about it any more. Looking at the dazzling array of food on the table, he got a headache. He didn't know when Queen Mother Pang would look away and stop staring at him.
Empress Dowager Pang must have heard about the absurd things about her mother's clan. Ye Xingze had also seen Nanny Peng, who was beside Empress Dowager Pang, leave the palace. She probably received the order of Empress Dowager Pang to restrain her mother's clan. The book that the censor attended said that Pang Xiang's eldest grandson rode horses in the street and knocked down many stalls. It can be seen that the restriction of Queen Mother Pang was not taken by the Pang family.
It's understandable when you think about it, the empress dowager is the daughter of the family, and the current emperor is also Pang's grandson, the older generation may pay more attention to it, but those juniors have never experienced any hardship since they were young. Naturally, he didn't have that experience, so he acted recklessly.
Ye Xingze unconsciously picked up a piece of jujube paste cake, took a bite, felt it wasn't sweet enough, put it back, and began to wonder if the task object this time would make dessert.
At this time, a voice came from the bedroom, and Ye Xingze remembered that Fu Qi was still hiding with him.
He got up and walked into the bedroom. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a eunuch lying on the ground with his eyes closed, but his chest was still heaving, as if he had passed out.
And Fu Qi was sitting on the bed, with the quilt piled aside, as if it had been lifted by someone, Fu Qi's clothes seemed to have been pulled, and there seemed to be a silver light on his fingertips, and he looked at the fainted man with panic in his eyes. The eunuch seemed to be frightened, and looked like he was on the verge of collapse.
Knowing that he was weak, Ye Xingze quickly walked around the fainted eunuch, sat beside Fu Qi and supported him, "How is it? What happened?"
"I——" Fu Qi was sitting upright, but was supported by Ye Xingze, and leaned against Ye Xingze's arms as if he had no strength. He breathed slowly and said, "This person seemed to sneak in just now. Then I lifted the quilt, and in a hurry, I stabbed him with a silver needle. After the incident with the man in black, Eleven asked me to bring a silver needle with me, which was smeared with drugs."
Fu Qi handed the needle to Ye Xingze with an expression of complete trust.
Ye Xingze patted Fu Qi's back to slow down people's breathing. He just wanted to go up to check on the eunuch's condition, but found that he was being pulled tightly by the corner of his clothes. He didn't know if Fu Qi did it intentionally or not. Here, I'll go take a look."
"Oh," Fu Qi realized that he was pulling at the corner of his clothes, and immediately let go.
Ye Xingze stood up, walked to the side of the eunuch, squatted down to check, first removed the hat covering his face, but was startled by the eunuch's appearance.
It's not that this man is ugly, on the contrary, this man is very good-looking, but one can tell that this man is definitely not a eunuch.
Ye Xingze turned to the side of the man's neck, and he found the trace of being stuck by a needle, but the needle's eye was a bit strange, Ye Xingze was about to examine it carefully, when he heard Fu Qi cough twice, his face turned pale, as if he couldn't sit still, Ye Xingze didn't care much, and walked quickly to the bedside, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I've got an old problem, I should have been frightened just now." Fu Qi glanced at the man who could be called a pleasing man on the ground, "Do you know him?"
"A few days ago, the old lady of the Pang Mansion celebrated her birthday. I met him when I went to the Pang Mansion. I remember it was the second young master of the Pang Mansion." Once the man's identity became clear, the purpose of the man's coming here became clear, Ye Xingze sneered. , "The empress dowager really values me."
Let the second young master of the Pang Mansion pretend to be a eunuch to sacrifice himself, this is to kidnap himself into the boat of the Pang Mansion at all costs.
Ye Xingze's eyes were fixed. The Pang family controlled most of the government. It can be said that their status is prominent. Even the emperor can't do anything about it for the time being. There is really no need to go to this level, but they still want the military power of the Duke of Anguo. Really Does Queen Mother Pang plan ahead and just want to keep the Pang family?
Maybe Queen Mother Pang thinks so, but her elder brother may not, this Pang... I'm afraid the picture is not small.
Seeing that Ye Xingze was engrossed in his thoughts, Fu Qi tapped his finger twice, a wisp of colorless smoke dissipated, and saw a small Gu worm emerge from the wound on the side of Young Master Pang Er's neck. , Crawling extremely fast, it only took one breath to return to Fu Qi's sleeve.
Fu Qi didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt uncomfortable when he thought that this man wanted to have sex with Ye Xingze.
Ye Xingze didn't notice Fu Qi's movements, and he came to his senses when Fu Qi pulled the corner of his clothes, "What's wrong?"
Ye Xingze lowered his head to look at Fu Qi, his eyes stopped, looking at the disheveled Fu Qi in front of him, revealing a thin white neck, which was lined by a black robe like jade, Ye Xingze felt a rush of hotness in his heart, unexpectedly There is an urge to bite.
But Fu Qi didn't know the situation and continued to tug at the corner of his clothes, "Are you okay?"
The light-colored lips opened and closed, attracting Ye Xingze's attention, and the heat in his heart forced him to get closer and closer. Fu Qi didn't know the reason, but he didn't hide. He let Ye Xingze press over him, forcing him to lie down on the bed.
In the end, the man lying on the ground groaned, and Ye Xingze came back to his senses in shock. Looking at Fu Qi who seemed to be oppressed by him, he turned his head in a rare embarrassment, and immediately remembered that it was probably the jujube cake. Because of this, I hurriedly mobilized my internal force to remove the medicinal properties, but luckily the jujube cake was not sweet enough, so I only took a bite.
Fu Qi also came back to his senses, his usual pale cheeks were a little burning, and when he heard the man on the ground move again, he explained softly, "My drug seems to only be effective for a quarter of an hour."
The man on the ground stood up holding his neck and saw that Ye Xingze seemed to be neck-to-neck with someone, opened his eyes wide, turned around and wanted to run out, but Ye Xingze stopped him, "Second Master Pang."
"You recognize me?" Pang Yao stopped, turned around and asked.
Ye Xingze was already sitting on the bed, blocking the person behind him. Pang Yao still couldn't see the face of the person behind him clearly. Ye Xingze said, "I was lucky enough to meet him a few days ago."
"Who is that person behind you?" Pang Yao asked.
"It doesn't matter who he is, is Master Pang Er willing to make a deal with me?" Ye Xingze quickly thought of a countermeasure. If Pang Yao told others about the existence of Fu Qi, it would be a real trouble, "If you How do you explain to your aunt when you run out now?"
"What deal do you want to make with me?" Pang Yao thought of the majestic appearance of his aunt who was the queen mother. If the aunt knew that he had not completed the things she had entrusted to him, thinking about the consequences, he would feel shuddering.
"The empress dowager's meaning is nothing more than that I will marry you, and I am willing to cooperate," Ye Xingze said without noticing Fu Qi's face suddenly sinking behind him, "Second Master Pang, just don't want to marry me tonight." If the Queen Mother asks you, just say that I like you very much and have a good tonight, that's all."
Ye Xingze thought to himself, the left and right queen mothers must hold on to him. Instead of avoiding it, it is better to just send it up and disintegrate the Pang family from within.
Of course, the most important thing is that this person has already been sent in. Even if he is sent out again, no one will believe that nothing happened even if he is sent out again.
Pang Yao grew up pampered and spoiled. Because he was not the eldest son, he raised a naive look. Hearing what Ye Xingze said about the transaction, he was more than half shaken in his heart. Moreover, Pang Yao looked at Ye Xingze. It doesn't hurt to say kiss.
As for the person who was guarded by Ye Xingze, since Ye Xingze can talk to him about this matter in front of him, his status will not be too high. He is probably just a plaything. When he enters the government of Anguo, he can dismiss him as he pleases. .
Thinking of this, Pang Yao agreed, "Then where do I sleep tonight?"
"There is a side hall outside the bedroom. I have wronged Mr. Pang." Seeing that Pang Yao agreed, Ye Xingze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fu Qi stared at Pang Yao's back, he didn't know what it was like, he just felt that he really wanted to let a Gu worm go there, and take his life.
Seeing Pang Yao go out, Ye Xingze turned around and was caught by Fu Qi behind him. Looking over, he found that Fu Qi seemed to be shaking all over, "What's wrong?"
"Do you like him?" Fu Qi lowered his head, his face was condensed, but his usual tone seemed to be suppressing some emotions, "You want to marry him?"
"It's just an expedient measure. After all, you were seen by him. This method not only protects you, but also makes it easier for me to do things." Ye Xingze explained. For a while, he didn't pay attention to why Fu Qi cared about these things. The person in front of him misunderstood something. After so many worlds, this kind of thinking is almost ingrained.
"Moreover, it will also relax Queen Mother Pang's vigilance. Besides, this person has been sent in for such a long time, and nothing has happened. Who would believe it? I will take the initiative to bear it. Good job."
"Well, I got it." Fu Qi actually didn't want to hear Ye Xingze's reasons at all. He just thought why so many people cared about the person in front of him, but these people were not worthy of Ye Xingze, and they wanted to be responsible. Fu Qi remembered just now If that person didn't wake up, wouldn't Ye Xingze be the one who was really responsible?
Fu Qi was shocked by his own thoughts. He had never been in love before, and he didn't know what emotion was, but he was sure that he couldn't understand Ye Xingze being with other people, and he didn't want Ye Xingze to marry someone else.
But what can he do? He is just a sick, helpless, lonely boy who is disliked by the Queen Mother and who may be killed at any time.
Fu Qilong fixed his robe and said nothing.
This action fell into Ye Xingze's eyes, and it reminded him of what Pang Yao had done before he woke up, "I was rude just now, I hope you don't blame me, sir."
Ye Xingze didn't doubt why Fu Qi didn't resist at that time. He was not sober at that time, and he didn't know how much force he used. It's normal for Fu Qi to be weak and unable to resist.
"No," Fu Qi's thoughts are unclear, but his face is still weak and courteous, "The night is getting dark, so I'll go back first."
Ye Xingze responded, pulled off his black cloak, and helped Fu Qi put it on, "It's almost autumn, it's windy at night, you're weak, you don't have anything to do at night, so don't come out again."
The cloak was too big for Fu Qi, and he would step on it if he didn't pay attention while walking. Fu Qi raised his chin to make it easier for Ye Xingze to tie the rope and tie a knot. "Understood, thank you for your concern."
Fu Shiyi had been waiting in the Tingyu hall, and Fu Qi immediately greeted him when he came back, "Young master, why have you been away for so long?"
"I ran into someone from the queen mother and hid." Fu Qi coughed twice and said.
"I've warmed the medicine, it should still be hot to drink now." Fu Shiyi stretched out his hand to help Fu Qi take off the cloak, and said in surprise, "Whose cloak belongs to it?"
"Ye Shizi's." Fu Qi hid for a while, did not let Fu Shiyi touch it, but untied it by himself, folded it and put it beside the bed, "Bring the medicine here."
Fu Shiyi didn't care, and went to fetch the medicine. Seeing Fu Qi drink it without changing his face, he couldn't help but feel distressed, "Young master, it's not a solution to drink this medicine all the time."
"I'll speed up, and I won't have to drink any more after I avenge my sister." Fu Qi put the bowl aside and motioned for Fu Shiyi to take it away, and as usual, he took out the maple and elm bowl The box now has two keys, and the remaining three keys are hidden by my sister.
"My lord, there is one more thing," Fu Shiyi said, "The Eunuch Zhou who was next to the emperor came just now and said that he would choose a few residences for the young master, and let the young master choose one, saying that next year the young master can leave the palace to live alone. Yes, there is still half a year left before the emperor will find someone to repair the residence."
Fu Shiyi spread out a cloth map of Kyoto, on which four places were circled. Fu Qi glanced at it and clicked on one of them, "This is it."
Fu Shiyi glanced at it. Although the place chosen by the young master is not as big as the other three places, it is in the center of the capital. There is an alley across from the An Guogong's mansion, which is very close to the imperial palace. It has always been for the convenience of avenging Miss Fu Yi. Bar.
"My lord, I think His Majesty has treated us well." Fu Shiyi put away the map and said with emotion.
"Yeah, after all—" Fu Qi didn't say anything, but just waved his hand to let Fu Shiyi go to rest.
Fu Qi himself was also lying on the bed, next to the pillow was the cloak Ye Xingze gave him, Fu Qi was thinking about his sister at first, but finally lost his mind.
Suddenly, he seemed to see Ye Xingze's face getting closer and closer to him again.
There seemed to be Ye Xingze's smell on the cloak, as if scrambling to get close to Fu Qi, and Fu Qi had a rare and peaceful sleep.
The next day, Ye Xingze accompanied Pang Yao to the Shoukang Palace, and news spread that the son of Duke Anguo's mansion met Pang Xiang's second young master in the palace, fell in love at first sight, and even obtained a marriage from the empress dowager.
As soon as Ye Xingze returned to the mansion, as soon as he walked to the gate of the main courtyard, he heard a lot of angry reprimands from inside, "She is so majestic as the queen mother, and she misses my son's marriage as if she misses her own son. Did you use this method?!"
Hearing this, he knew it was Princess Sui'an. An Guogong was comforting him. When he saw Ye Xingze come in, he quickly asked Ye Xingze to explain clearly, "Why did you ask for the marriage on your own initiative? Let's see how angry your mother is?"
"Mother, don't be angry, my son has already thought carefully," Ye Xingze stepped forward, patted Princess Suian on the back, and said softly, "Now that the queen mother wants to marry me to the Pang family, it's better to just say goodbye If I agree, it happens that my status as the son-in-law of the Pang family is also convenient for me to do things."
"Is this what His Majesty meant?" Princess Sui'an naturally knew what the emperor asked Ye Xingze to do. After hearing her son's explanation, she calmed down a little and asked again.
"My son came back a bit late, and I was just talking to His Majesty about it, and His Majesty is very supportive." Ye Xingze explained.
"No, I'm still angry. My son is the eldest son of An Guogong's mansion. It's nothing more than the eldest daughter of the Pang family before, but this time he has a second son." Princess Sui'an waved her hand, "After two weeks Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace is over, and my mother will hold a crab tasting banquet, and then we will meet each other and choose two concubines for you."
"Side—" What?
After Ye Xingze entered this world, the only couples he came into contact with were his parents, who were still monogamous. Although he had seen several concubines of the emperor in the palace, Ye Xingze was still shocked when three wives and four concubines fell on him.
He also forgot to refute his mother for a while, the eldest son of the Pang family is married and has two sons.
"Let your mother do it, she is angry with the Queen Mother Pang, and she always wants to vent it." An Guogong is famous for doting on his wife, not to mention that Princess Sui'an just wants to scare off the Pang family.
Ye Xingze could only sigh, what's the matter?
The Mid-Autumn Banquet came soon, this time the scale of the banquet was much larger, almost all the royal relatives in Beijing participated, Ye Xingze's seat was on the other side, arranged by Queen Mother Pang to sit with Pang Yao, Ye Xingze Looking around, finally saw Fu Qi in the banquet.
Presumably it was the assassination of the man in black that distracted the emperor from Fu Qi, so he also invited the younger brother of Concubine Xuangui to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to show his demeanor.
Fu Qi had seen Ye Xingze a long time ago, and smiled for a moment. When Ye Xingze turned his gaze away, Fu Qi's eyes fixed on Pang Yao.
Pang Yao was originally only the second son of the Pang Mansion, because the eldest son of the Pang Mansion is too outstanding, people often ignore him when attending banquets, and now he has become the future Princess Concubine of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, and he has suddenly become the leader of the younger generation. The focus, the admiration and envy of the crowd made him feel a little elated.
But he felt a sight that made his heart chill, but when he looked up, he couldn't see who it was.
Ye Xingze has always been good at acting, he will always pay attention to Pang Yao, and occasionally serve Pang Yao himself, whenever he does this kind of behavior, there will be booing sounds from around, and Pang Yao is also immersed in it, as if He and Ye Xingze are really a couple that everyone envies.
Fu Qi felt that Pang Yao's smile was an eyesore.
If I had known this before, when Pang Yao wanted to hide in Ye Xingze's quilt and was discovered by him, he shouldn't have just lightly released the unconscious Gu worm for the sake of the impression in Ye Xingze's heart, and then put it on the bed afterwards. The Gu worm drew back.
It's time to let that Gu worm stay in his body all the time, let this person sleep forever.
"...Has the wedding date for Zizhan and Yao'er been set?" the empress dowager asked with a kind and loving look.
"Returning to Aunt Huang, it's not yet decided." Ye Xingze got up and cupped his hands.
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival now. According to Ai's family, the wedding date should be earlier. It should be done a few years ago, so as to make the Chinese New Year more lively." Pang's actions are becoming more and more absurd. There were a lot of papers about the impeachment of the Pang family, and the Empress Dowager Pang was anxious, so she wanted to quickly implement the marriage contract with the Duke of Anguo.
"This is not possible," Princess Sui'an sat on the upper right, smiling sweetly, completely ignoring the anger she felt when she learned about this, "I like Yao'er very much, and the wedding is too close, so I'm afraid I won't be well-prepared." , it's not good to wrong Yao'er."
Empress Dowager Pang replied with a smile, "Sui'an is thoughtful, it's because Ai's family is impatient, always thinking that the two of them are happy with each other, and it would be better if they get married sooner."
Ye Xingze and Pang Yao stood up together, Empress Dowager Xie was concerned about Yunyun.
After the banquet, in front of everyone, Ye Xingze and Pang Yao left the banquet together, in the eyes of everyone, they seemed to be in love again.
In the eyes of Fu Qi, it is not a good scene. He is not a good-natured man. In the past few years, he has been under the fence of others in the palace, and he has been cautious for revenge. Pretending to be a good temper does not represent his temper. It's that good.
The next day, it was reported that Pang Yao had the same disease as Pang Qilan before.
When other people heard the news, they thought it was something genetic or contagious in the Pang family. Ye Xingze felt weird when he heard the news. Think about what happened before Pang Qilan's illness last time, and think again. Pang Yao quickly found a strange commonality among them: all the symbols and prayers were there.
Therefore, there must be Gu worms in Fu Qi, otherwise how could he in the palace make Nan Feng who lived outside the palace sick, and he couldn't get in touch with those people.
Ye Xingze found that he was really deceived by Fu Qi when he was not paying attention. At first he thought it was a little white flower, but he only started raising Gu after he moved out of the palace in the later stage. He didn't expect it to be so early.
But why Fu Qi did this, Ye Xingze didn't know, some things are interesting only when people say them, but he couldn't understand them.
Everyone in the capital was worried that Pang Yao would stay behind closed doors like Pang Qilan. If that was the case, what would be the engagement with Duke Anguo's mansion?
Ye Xingze wrote a letter at this moment, saying that no matter what Pang Yao became, no matter whether Pang Yao's appearance and temperament could be restored, the marriage contract between Pang's mansion and An Guo's mansion would not be voided.
A deeply affectionate character just stood there.
Ye Xingze thought, most of Pang's doubts about him would disappear now.
Thanks to Fu Qi's Gu worm!
