Chapter 92: Assassinated and Died
Compared to what Qin Mufeng did when he was sober, having sex after drinking seemed to be more acceptable to Yun Xi.
What's more, based on her understanding of Liu Ruyan, the matter of drunken sex is itself a matter worth studying.
"Can you stop being angry?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely handle her affairs." Qin Mufeng said cautiously and flatteringly.
Yun Xi glanced at him with interest: "What do you want to do? Take her as a concubine?"
Qin Mufeng Qin Mufeng's back felt cold when she saw her, and he quickly shook his head to express his position: "No!"
"Don't worry, since I promised you that I will only marry you in this life, I will definitely keep my promise. I couldn't help what happened in the past, but things like this will never happen in the future."
"Trust me, okay?"
"Believe you?" Yun Xi smiled: "You promised to reconcile with me before."
"..." Qin Mufeng choked. He seemed to have broken his promise in front of her many times.
Thinking that his credit was in danger here, he became a little anxious. He hurriedly raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers to make an oath: "I"
Yun Xi knocked his hand off, and at the same time, she glared at someone angrily: "Don't fix these useless things." Is this something you can swear casually? There are gods in the air, who knows?
Could the gods happen to be passing by and hear this?
What if? Who can say for sure what will happen in the next few decades? It is enough for her to know that he has this heart.
Even if she doesn't have the chance to grow old with him in the future, she still hopes that he can live a healthy life.
In her previous life, she had seen too many couples who were in love and sweet together, but when they separated, they became so ugly that it was degrading. She didn't want them to be so embarrassed.
If there ever comes a day when she and him have to separate due to some problem, she hopes they can get together well and leave good memories for each other.
This would not be in vain for her to break her principles and accompany him in this bet.
Yun Xi still felt a little uncomfortable when something big or small was revealed like this, but it was not unacceptable.
"What's going on between you and your mother? She is the head of the house, and she only has two daughters and no sons. You are the eldest son, so she shouldn't treat you like this."
Qin Mufeng's eyes darkened when he saw her asking about this matter.
"My mother is a lowly maid. She had me while my father was drunk and crawled into bed. She wants to be strong in her life, so naturally she cannot tolerate stains like my mother and I."
"Is it because of this? It's not like that. It's not like there aren't other aunts in the house. I think that although she's not enthusiastic about others, she's not that..."
Yun Xi was thinking about his inner feelings and did not finish her words.
Qin Mufeng felt warm in his heart. Being treated so tenderly by her, he suddenly felt that the grievances he had suffered for so many years were worth it, because God had given him a huge compensation, and he was very happy.
"Perhaps she feels that my mother has challenged her authority as the matron of the house. My grandmother told me this. I don't know exactly whether this is the case."
In fact, he knew in his heart that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Her father's attitude towards her, as well as the portrait of her mother hidden in the drawer of her father's study, proved that all this was not simple, but there was no need to tell her all this now.
Seeing that she still wanted to ask, he quickly changed the subject.
"Now that I have finished explaining my affairs, should Xi'er also tell me about the matter between you and that Liu Qingyang?"
Sure enough, when Yun Xi heard him mention this matter, she immediately threw all the doubts in her mind away.
She turned around unnaturally and walked towards the bed: "There is nothing to say between us."
Qin Ba and Qin Yi had investigated the matter between her and Liu Qingyang, and he already knew the details.
He didn't think it was anything at first, he just asked to divert her attention.
But now seeing her clearly avoiding talking, he felt uncomfortable.
It's not out of suspicion or distrust, just out of jealousy and jealousy.
Qin Mufeng felt that he had a tendency to seek abuse. Even though he knew that there was nothing between them, he still wanted to hear her talk about their past.
Fortunately, he was still rational and controlled his thoughts in time. He didn't want to make the person he had just coaxed unhappy again.
Yun Xi walked a few steps guiltily, but when she saw that he didn't follow her or continue to ask questions, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that she doesn't know that Qin Mufeng is jealous and unhappy. She doesn't answer directly because she is not the original owner, and some things are troublesome and unnecessary to explain.
However, what Yun Xi doesn't know is that what she thinks is unnecessary trouble will bring her a big trouble in the near future.
Qin Mufeng accepted the marriage granted by the Holy One, and when he entered the palace to express his gratitude, he also stated that the old lady was newly mourned and that he was still observing filial piety, and tactfully stated that he wanted to postpone the wedding.
The country of Liuying governs the country with benevolence and attaches great importance to filial piety. In addition, Qin Mufeng showed the honor and joy he should have for the marriage granted by the Holy Emperor.
Chu and Qin had no doubt that he was there, so there was no reason not to agree.
"The matter of getting married can wait. You and that girl Shuang'er are still married at the fingertips. Although we haven't seen each other for many years due to an accident, we still need to cultivate and communicate with each other as we should."
Qin Mufeng was afraid that Chu Qin would be suspicious, so he naturally agreed.
He doesn't know how to cultivate feelings or communicate feelings, let alone cooperate, and it doesn't matter if he responds.
Having solved a big problem, he left the palace happily, with a lot of joy in his steps.
However, as soon as he left the palace, he received the news that Tie Hongji, the Minister of Household Affairs, had been assassinated.
Qin Mufeng's expression changed, and he galloped all the way to Tiefu on horseback.
The third prince has been staring at the position of the Minister of Revenue for more than a day or two.
However, Tie Hongji was an upright man and was loyal to the Holy One regardless of whether he was left or right.
The third prince wanted to turn the household department into his own money bag, and Tie Hongji undoubtedly became a thorn in the side of the third prince's party.
Almost immediately, he linked Tie Hongji's death to the third prince.
In fact, it was a signal that the third prince blatantly questioned Tie Hongji's ability and suggested that the wise should live in the early dynasty because of tax arrears in various places.
If I hadn't gone to Xuzhou in person last time, it would have been impossible for anyone to pay the tens of thousands of taels of tax owed by Xuzhou.
In this way, the third prince can justifiably let the Holy Emperor depose Tie Hongji.
It was because he was careless and did not realize that the third prince was determined to capture the Hubu that Tie Hongji lost his life in vain.
It is not a trivial matter for an imperial official to be assassinated, not to mention the fact that the person who died was the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, whose official residence was from the first rank, and the place was Lijing City, where the emperor was located.
From the time Qin Mufeng got the news from Anlong, to the time when he arrived on horseback with just a cup of tea, almost half of the people in Lijing City knew about it.
