Poor Lady Chapter 61: Fragrant Stone

After that day, Qi Surong finally obediently became a boudoir lady who never left home, taking supplements every day, writing and embroidering in her spare time, and her activities were limited to the bedroom and the yard. Although it was a bit boring, Qi Surong didn't feel depressed. In order to give birth to a healthy child in the future, she must take good care of her body and not be as casual as usual.

Qi's father hired his former subordinate to work as a nursing home. Gu Jinyun never had the opportunity to sneak into Qi's house to see Qi Surong secretly, so he could only send some supplements and food from time to time. At the same time, he also took over the digital group, continued to collect information, and then passed some more important news to Qi Surong.

The secret decree forged by Qi Surong has finally achieved initial results. The emperor has already begun to attack the Eighth Prince, gradually weakening his power. People who don't know what's going on may not see the clues, thinking it's just an ordinary official transfer. But Jing Wang and others knew well that Qi Surong's secret decree was like a sharp thorn, firmly stuck in the emperor's throat, and he would rather kill by mistake than let it go because of his suspicious nature.

Qi Surong speculated that King Jing and the others would send someone to quietly contact the Eighth Prince, taking the opportunity to stir up trouble. Qi Surong didn't know how many secret letters there were from the former emperor, and he didn't know how many secret letters King Jing had found. The holders of each secret letter are the help left by the late emperor to King Jing. They are all loyal people carefully selected by the late emperor. Otherwise, the content of the secret letter should have been known to the emperor long ago, and King Jing would not have been able to Live till now.

But these have nothing to do with Qi Surong, she just needs to stand on the sidelines. The purpose of taking the risk at the beginning was to completely avoid this **** power struggle.

Now this storm has gradually spread to the entire imperial court and most of the dignitaries in the capital, but they haven't really realized that this will be the beginning of a coup d'état.

Qi Surong is fortunate that the Feng family also temporarily diverted their attention from the Qi family due to the changes in the forces in the court. Therefore, Qi Surong can rest at home to recuperate for the time being.

The marriages of both parties were put on hold, Feng Zhan made up his mind, even though the plot against Gu Jinyun last time did not achieve the expected result, but there was finally a buffer time. He heard that his sweetheart was sick in bed, so he often visited Qi's house, but unfortunately he never saw her in person.

The more I miss you, the more I miss you. The lovesickness has accumulated over time, and it has almost been engraved into the bone marrow. However, he became more and more indifferent to Liu Qian'er, and he always believed that what happened that night was planned by her or her family, and by doing so, he gradually alienated his friend Liu Muhan. He started to get close to Xu Chen's students. Ji Yun and others were "Zhuo Fan"'s seniors, and Qi Subao was his sweetheart's younger brother. On the one hand, he wanted to ask them about "Zhuo Fan", on the other hand, I want to contact Su Rong through Su Bao.

Getting along for a few days, he found that these people were indeed worth getting to know. They were talented, unique, and shared the same interests as him. Now they have all passed the palace examination and entered the court as officials. Although the official rank is low, the future is bright. Except for "Zhuo Fan" who has no reference and Su Bao who is still young, all three of Xu Chen's students are outstanding, and they are no worse than other colleges.

Unfortunately, Feng Zhan has never been able to get any news about "Zhuo Fan". Ji Yun and others only know that "his" has a mysterious background and his whereabouts are elusive and elusive. However, Zhuo Fan would occasionally write letters to them, specifically reminding them to keep a low profile for the time being, not to participate in government affairs, and it is best to apply for a foreign transfer.

This request is undoubtedly incomprehensible to the three young people who have just entered the court and are about to show their ambitions. But they all know that "Zhuo Fan" is good at divination and calculation, even if they can't believe it, they won't be completely safe. Therefore, since they entered the court, they have been cautious in their actions. Most of the people who were officials at the same time as them were praised, but they were not angry and suffered a lot of ridicule in private.

Among the three of them, Sun Junxuan was the most impatient. Just when he couldn't help but want to change his decline and be aggressive, a major event happened in the court. A fourth-rank official was killed on the bed of a prostitute, and several officials were also affected. It's not that officials of the Wei Kingdom are not allowed to enter and leave the place of the situation, but they are not allowed to be greedy for drinking and whoring/staying. The killing of a fourth-rank official was originally a major event that angered all officials in the court, but he died on the bed of a prostitute, which undoubtedly brought shame to the court and did not dare to investigate and deal with it openly.

These people are usually on good terms with the Eighth Prince. This incident not only made the Eighth Prince lose a helping hand, but also made him lose face. The emperor took the opportunity to cut power and go to war. No matter how stupid the Eighth Prince is, he should have sensed the emperor's suspicion of him. The contradiction between the two gradually began to surface.

When this happened, Sun Junxuan felt cold sweat all over his body. Because he was planning to assist the Ombudsman and start sorting out the backlog of case materials in the past. When the official was killed, the emperor immediately handed over the case to the magistrate, and the supervisor was responsible for co-managing it. Everyone knows that this is a hot potato, and it involves too much, whether it is checked or not, it will be very troublesome. If Sun Junxuan came forward at this time, he would probably be ordered to cooperate with the supervisor in this matter. At that time, the chief will be fine, and the scapegoat must be the subordinate.

This is just the beginning, the court is calm on the surface, but in fact, the dark tide is raging. The battle between the emperor and the Eighth Prince has already begun. Several distinct forces gradually formed in the court, and many young talents were invited. If they don't make their position clear, they will be restrained everywhere, making it difficult to make progress.

Among the three of Ji Yun, Huang Zheng, who always greeted people with a smile on his face, made the first choice and decisively applied for a foreign job, followed by Sun Junxuan. As for Ji Yun, he had his own considerations. Although there was no change, his behavior became more low-key, and he seemed to be the most insignificant person in the court.

After this incident, they were truly convinced of "Zhuo Fan"'s divination skills.

Two months later, Qi Surong recovered a lot. Qi's mother decided to take her to the temple to burn incense and relax by the way.

After not going out for a long time, Qi Surong felt that she was about to get moldy. It was sunny outside, just like her mood.

After coming to the temple and paying homage to the Bodhisattva, Qi's mother went to take a rest in the meditation room, while Qi Surong took a walk in the courtyard to enjoy the scenery.

She looked up and saw a lake, and remembered that Su Bao fell into the lake before and almost drowned, it was Gu Jinyun who came to the rescue. At that time, Gu Jinyun was obviously not familiar with her, but he naturally offered a helping hand to help her out. She doesn't even remember how they became close, as if everything just happened naturally.

Gu Jinyun is not good at words, his face is cold and paralyzed, let alone a woman, even a man will feel a little scared when he sees it.

Thinking about it, Qi Surong couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" As soon as I thought of him, he appeared. Qi Surong looked back, Gu Jinyun was standing five steps away, staring at her quietly, there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes.

He kept this distance, motionless. Qi Surong smiled and walked towards him without hesitation. Gu Jinyun worked very hard to restrain the desire to hold her in his arms.

"How are you?" He was expressionless, but his eyes were focused.

Qi Surong nodded and said, "It's much better. How about you? How's the injury on your back?"

"It's ready long ago." Gu Jinyun took out a brocade box, "For you."

"What is it?" Qi Surong asked casually, and opened the brocade box, and there was a yellow jade stone lying inside.

"This is a fragrance stone, which can emit a fragrance and help sleep." Gu Jinyun explained.

"Thank you." Qi Surong accepted it unceremoniously, and was about to wear it when a cold voice came from behind: "It's you again!"

Qi Surong looked back, only to see Feng Zhan striding over, dodging the jade in Qi Surong's hand, glaring at Gu Jinyun and saying: "She is my fiancee, stay away from her."

Gu Jinyun looked at him coldly and remained silent.

Feng Zhan looked at Qi Surong again, and asked, "Are you okay? Did he offend you?"

Qi Surong frowned slightly, and replied: "Young Master Gu did not offend me."

"He has bad intentions for you, and I'm afraid he came here to see you on purpose today." The precaution in Feng Zhan's eyes was very obvious.

"Brother Feng, why did you appear here?" Qi Surong asked.

"I miss you every day, but your parents don't let me see you. I finally saw you going out today, so I followed you." He said, holding Qi Surong's hand, his eyes burning.

Qi Surong was caught off guard for a moment, and he held him squarely, and struggled a few times without breaking free.

Feng Zhan pulled her to his side, looked up at Gu Jinyun, and said possessively: "I want to have a good reunion with Su Rong, please leave immediately."

Gu Jinyun's eyes were icy, and he said two words coldly: "Let go."

"So what if you don't let go?" Feng Zhan not only didn't let go, but instead hugged Qi Surong into his arms, "She is my woman."

A trace of anger flashed in Gu Jinyun's eyes.

"Brother Feng..." Qi Surong was about to speak when Gu Jinyun had already attacked Feng Zhan.

Feng Zhan took Qi Surong a step back, then let her go, and fought with Gu Jinyun.

"Don't fight! Buddhism is pure, such a fight, wouldn't it make people laugh?" Qi Surong shouted loudly.

The two of them didn't realize it, and the fight became more and more intense, with no mercy in their attacks.

Worried about offending others, Qi Surong suddenly covered his chest, as if in pain.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Ping'er's nervous cry really attracted the attention of those two people. Seeing that Qi Surong's expression was painful, as if she was ill, they immediately stopped, rushed to her side, and at the same time stretched out their hands to help her. .

Both hands stopped in the air, eyes fighting in the air.

"Stop hitting." Qi Surong said softly.

"Su..." Feng Zhan was about to say something when he saw that Qi Surong's hand had been put into Gu Jinyun's palm at some point.

His face changed, and he looked at her in disbelief.

Gu Jinyun helped her up, and asked with concern: "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"

Qi Surong shook his head, turned to look at Feng Zhan, and said seriously: "Brother Feng, I'm sorry, I like Mr. Gu. Your kindness, I remember it in my heart, but I can't accept it."

Feng Zhan stared at her without saying a word.

Qi Surong said again: "I have always regarded you as an elder brother, and I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want you to continue to misunderstand."

"I don't believe it!" Feng Zhan said word by word, "That day in the other courtyard, you clearly had affection for me, and that kind of docile dependence was definitely not pretended! When I met you, he, Gu Jinyun, didn't know Where is it? How can you have a relationship with him?"

Qi Surong was about to speak out when she suddenly felt her waist tighten. Gu Jinyun lifted her chin and lowered her head to kiss her.

Ping'er's eyes widened, Feng Zhan was furious.

"Understood?" Gu Jinyun moved his lips, turned his head and said coldly to Feng Zhan.

Qi Surong lowered her head, eyes full of embarrassment. Although she and Gu Jinyun were already husband and wife, it was the first time that she was so close in front of people.

Feng Zhan couldn't see Qi Surong's expression, but seeing that she didn't resist, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Xiangshi." Gu Jinyun stretched out his hand towards him.

Feng Zhan tightened his fingers, and slowly handed the incense stone to Gu Jinyun's hand, as if handing over his beloved, his heart ached beyond control.

His gaze was always on Qi Surong, hoping that she would say something, but until Gu Jinyun took her away, she never said anything.

Does she really like that cruel man? Why? Why? No, he didn't believe it, he didn't believe it!

"Pfft!" Feng Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at the back of the two leaving, his eyes were red.

The author has something to say: Feng Zhan is gradually becoming black...
