But it’s different now!!
Who is General Zhenbei?
General Zhenbei has been a general of the country since the time of the late emperor. In addition, the Shu family has people who have held the position of general for generations. It can be said that it is a family of military generals.
General Zhenbei not only has a rich family background, he is also the late emperor's companion, the current martial arts teacher of the queen, and a veteran of two dynasties.
In terms of identity and status, it is a peak that ordinary people cannot climb.
Originally, because of Prime Minister Gongsun, General Zhenbei and Gongsun Xiuyun had no connection at all.
In addition, when Gongsun Xiuyun married the princess, General Zhenbei did not come forward, so everyone speculated that General Zhenbei did not want to see his grandson who had half the blood of the person who killed his son.
Otherwise, such an important matter as getting married has never been shown. This does not seem like he values Gongsun Xiuyun.
Therefore, after Gongsun Xiuyun lost his last supporter, Prime Minister Gongsun, everyone completely lost their last hope for Gongsun Xiuyun.
Why waste time trying to win over people who can't create benefits?
Everyone's original thoughts were overturned by General Zhenbei.
Where is the rhythm of not caring?
If you don't care, what are the treasure chests that have been brought into the concubine's house recently?
That is to say, a family like General Zhenbei has such confidence, and relies on the rewards it has received for its illustrious military exploits over the years, so that it is able to give away good things without blinking an eye.
While everyone was envious and jealous, they also secretly calculated how much benefit Gongsun Xiuyun could bring.
For a moment, everyone was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea---each showed his magical power, each used his own ability, and invited Gongsun Xiuyun to the banquet, all wanting to be the first to benefit.
Ever since, in the next period of time, whenever Gongsun Xiujun went out, he would meet various young masters from various families, and then they would naturally invite him to attend the banquets held by them.
Since it was difficult to refuse at first, Gongsun Xiuyun agreed. With someone to start with, there would be more invitations later.
In this situation, no matter how slow Gongsun Xiuyun was, he would still know that something was wrong.
It just so happened that he was not good at dealing with these things, so he simply found a reason and declined all invitations.
After many invitations were rejected by Gongsun Xiuyun, everyone knew that taking Gongsun Xiuyun's path was not feasible, so they stopped.
However, even after it stopped, everyone realized the benefits that Gongsun Xiuyun could bring.
Among the several families that Gongsun Xiuyun attended for the banquet, several of them received substantial benefits. There is no similarity between them.
That is, between them, the invitation to Gongsun Xiuyun came from the sincerity and did not contain any meaning.
Now, everyone knew what General Zhenbei meant.
General Zhenbei really cares about Gongsun Xiuyun, but it doesn't mean that they can get benefits by winning over Gongsun Xiuyun.
If they have malicious intentions, wooing Gongsun Xiuyun does not mean that they have one more helper, but it may mean that they have one more enemy.
At this time, everyone who had their own little calculations took back their little thoughts and changed Gongsun Xiuyun's attitude back to what it was before.
Gongsun Xiuyun was able to take a breath. The current situation was good. He had never attended any banquet before, so such an occasion was actually very uncomfortable for him.
He still likes to be alone, it's much more comfortable this way.
Gongsun Xiuyun felt at ease, but it was difficult for General Zhenbei to think that his grandson had been isolated again, so he found a lot of trouble for him in a fit of anger.
It made all the ministers burst into tears of bitterness!!!
When they invited Gongsun Xiuyun, General Zhenbei felt that they had bad intentions and were wary of them. Now they have actively not invited Gongsun Xiuyun. Isn't this right?!
What on earth are they going to do? Will General Zhenbei be satisfied?
The ministers who were on the verge of tears shouted in their hearts, pretending to be calm and indifferent on their faces, determined not to let their mortal enemies see their unlucky look.
He worked non-stop to let his sons or grandsons play with Gongsun Xiujun, so that General Zhenbei's attention would no longer be on them.
If this continues, they won't be able to bear it!!!
So Gongsun Xiujunsong's life for just a few days was suddenly disrupted by General Zhenbei.
Fortunately, the young men from aristocratic families who came to see Gongsun Xiuyun listened to the warnings of their elders and did not say anything more that they should not say.
In addition, the young masters from big families are all good at observing words and emotions. Once they find that the topic they are talking about will make Gongsun Xiuyun uncomfortable, they will naturally change the topic, making Gongsun Xiuyun feel much more relaxed.
Gongsun Xiuyun's life was happy, but Yan Lingqing's life was not.
Originally, with the Queen suppressing her, all of Yan Lingqing's forces were suppressed to varying degrees, so they would inevitably act more cautiously.
Who would have known that General Zhenbei would have a hand in this, and the already difficult life would instantly become dire and even more miserable.
In addition, Yan Lingqing put all her thoughts on her own affairs, so it was inevitable that she would neglect Gongsun Fei.
Ever since the last time he had to threaten Prime Minister Gongsun Fei in order to save his life in the palace, Gongsun Fei's life had become dire. It was only when Yan Lingqing came out of the palace to support Gongsun Fei that things gradually became easier.
Who knew that just as things got better, something happened to Yan Lingqing, and she had no energy to focus on him at all.
The servants all looked after the dish, and seeing that Gongsun Fei did not have the support of Yan Lingqing, none of them took Gongsun Fei seriously, and they did things very perfunctorily.
When Gongsun Fei's life was unsatisfactory, he could only ask Yan Lingqing for help.
Yan Lingqing was busy with her own affairs and neglected the matter of Gongsun Fei, which was a bit lacking in confidence. In addition, Yan Lingqing was somewhat sincere towards Gongsun Fei. Seeing that Gongsun Fei had been wronged, she naturally wanted to help him get his money back.
justice.
As soon as the attention was diverted, the original forces were suppressed even more severely. The originally uneven forces were immediately reduced by more than half, which made Yan Lingqing feel heartbroken.
He was not living as he wished, but seeing his enemy living so comfortably and getting happier day by day, how could Yan Lingqing give up so easily.
However, these Yan Lingqings were smart and knew not to attack Gongsun Xiuyun.
The few times I attacked Gongsun Xiuyun, not only did I fail to gain favor, but I also lost a lot of money and lost a lot of people.
To Yan Lingqing, Gongsun Xiuyun was a bit evil.
He doesn't have many manpower now, so he can no longer confront Gongsun Xiuyun head-on, so he can only find another way.
It just so happens that Yan Yunxi is not in the capital now, and something will happen during the disaster relief every year. If there is a riot this year and something happens to Yanyun Xi, that will be good news for me.
Originally, she thought that her power had been developing secretly. If something happened to Yan Yunxi, the position of princess would most likely fall to the second princess.
Now it seems that everything is not necessarily possible!!
In the past, I had taken it into consideration, so I always looked forward and backward when doing things. I was afraid that I would make a wrong decision, which would lead to the consequences of losing everything.
It's fine now. It can be said that all the power I had was reduced to nothing overnight.
Then what else do you need to worry about?
Only by burning down the boat can we gain a chance of survival.
How can we accomplish great things if we always look forward and backward and hesitate?
No matter how much Chen Xi thought about it, she would never have imagined that the joint attack of the Queen and General Zhenbei would actually force Yan Lingqing to be like this.
However, if you think about it from someone else's perspective, it's not impossible to understand Yan Lingqing's thoughts at this moment.
Anyone who loses everything she has worked so hard for so many years in one night can be considered strong-willed if she is not crazy.
Yan Lingqing was not one to procrastinate in doing things. Now that she had decided to do this, she immediately sent people to secretly leave the capital and head to Jiangnan.
Of course, after experiencing so many suppressions, Yan Lingqing also realized that she might have been monitored, so she naturally used other methods to send her people away without letting anyone notice.
In this way, without the Queen or General Zhenbei noticing, the killers sent by Yan Lingqing arrived quietly in Jiangnan.
Since Chen Xi was surrounded by a large group of people whether he went out or did not leave his place of residence during this period, the people sent by Yan Lingqing could not find a good time to make a move for a while, so they could only choose to press the button for the time being.
Impatient, waiting for the best opportunity,
I don’t know if Yan Lingqing’s aura as the heroine worked. When it came time to pay for the medicinal materials that were originally agreed upon, the store selling the medicinal materials suddenly increased the price. If they couldn’t afford it, they wouldn’t be willing to sell it.
The matter of medicinal materials was originally prepared for disaster, but who would have thought that in the past few days in Jiangnan, several disaster victims suddenly developed fever. Although there is no sign of infection yet, who can guarantee that nothing will happen.
Helpless, Chen Xi could only temporarily entrust the affairs of Jiangnan to the ministers who came together and let them take care of the matter, while Chen Xi led a team of people to deal with the medicinal materials.
Leaving the city gave the killers who had been lying in wait for a long time an opportunity.
They knew that if they took action near Jiangnan and made too much noise, officers and soldiers would be attracted, which would not be of any benefit to them.
So they followed the morning light and drove all day, until night fell, when everyone was exhausted and low in energy, they took action unexpectedly.
The sudden enemy attack caused everyone to panic, trying to dodge the attack in a hurry, but because they didn't notice the people around them, there was a crowd of people, and you pushed me and I pushed you, and the casualties were even greater.
