Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Qi Shengxin's expression changed slightly, and then he let out an inaudible bitter laugh.

He hasn't figured out how he feels about making a wish.

She already had a home.

Thinking of this, Qi Shengxin's eyes also showed a bit of sadness.

However, his good upbringing prevented him from speaking like Qi Shengzhu.

So he turned around and said to Xu Yuan, "I didn't know you had already decided on a marriage. I am really rude to you today."

Xu Yuan's gaze lightly withdrew from Qi Shengzhu, "It's okay."

Qi Shengxin is a gentleman after all, and he shouldn't be misunderstood by his own sister.

Xu Yuan explained, "Miss Qi, you misunderstood. Your brother asked me to come into the mansion today not because he had other ideas, but because I wanted to get something."

Xu Yuan said, raising the envelope in his hand: "Since I have received the letter, I will not disturb you two brothers and sisters."

Qi Shengzhu said with a half-smile: "Diaoyun, see Miss Xu off for me."

After everyone left, the tea room was still quiet.

After a long while, Qi Sheng said, "Aren't we going to pick up my eldest sister? Let's go?"

Qi Shengzhu did not answer, but looked into Qi Shengxin's eyes and said, "Brother, do you like making wishes?"

"No." Qi Shengxin shook his head.

"Then why do you take such good care of Xuyuan? It was like this before, and it is still like this now!"

Qi Shengzhu was quite annoyed. "Not only you, but also my father. I really don't understand what's so good about the Xu family? It's worth the two of you protecting them like this!"

"Qi Shengzhu!" Qi Shengxin's eyes flashed with anger, "When did you become so calculating and sarcastic?"

"I'm sarcastic? I'm petty?" Qi Shengzhu laughed angrily, "Brother, have you ever thought that the scheming person is Xu Yuan!"

Qi Shengxin said nothing, but this was still more chilling than him yelling and cursing.

Qi Shengzhu said: "She and Song Xiujing knew each other in Sishui County! She has always been the one who gave Song Xiujing advice. Brother, have you ever thought that if nothing happened to the prince, the eldest sister would have died by now! And I, I will also be the next eldest sister!"

Qi Shengzhu took a deep breath and said, "This time, it's all because of a wish."

"But the prince himself is not a good man." Qi Shengxin shook his head gently, "Sister, you are paranoid, you are too paranoid."

Others do not know the prince's true nature.

He knows it.

In order to seize the throne, the prince will stop at nothing. Even if she hadn't made a wish, Qi Shengmei's life would still not be easy.

But he was the crown prince, and they could do nothing about it.

But just because you are powerless, you cannot turn the consequences of your own incompetence into means for others.

At least, Qi Shengxin can't do it.

"Have you ever thought for a moment about saving your elder sister from the dire straits?" Qi Shengzhu asked back.

Qi Shengxin fell silent again.

-

Leave from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as Xuyuan got into the carriage, he opened the letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Xu Yuan couldn't help but sigh that Qi Shengxin was indeed a gentleman.

Because if Qi Shengxin read this letter, he would definitely not give it to her.

Most of what Song Xiujing wrote in the letter were things that happened in the capital after she left.

The prince was assassinated and seriously injured, and he recuperated in the Eastern Palace.

At the same time, Prince Cheng Beiyao temporarily took charge of the government and dealt with many people one after another.

Because of her marriage to Bei Yuan, she was not allowed to leave the capital, but fortunately, Goshu Khan left some help for her so that she could find out some things.

Song Tiancheng was killed after escaping the capital, and the cause of death is unknown.

Song Xiuwen and Song Xiuyue were a step late and were thrown into jail. Soon after, news came that they were missing.

Before the two people disappeared, Qi Shengzhu went to the prison.

Therefore, Song Xiujing suspected that the disappearance of the Song brothers and sisters was related to Qi Shengzhu.

As for what the relationship is.

Song Xiujing also made a guess, probably because of Qi Shengmei.

However, after all this time, she still hasn't found the whereabouts of the Song brothers and sisters. But given Qi Shengzhu's character, he shouldn't kill them to silence them so quickly.

At the end of the letter, Song Xiujing also said.

If you get married someday, remember to write to tell her.

Xu Yuan folded the letter, his eyes were cold.

-

Although the brother and sister did not argue, they did not look like they had been reunited after a long separation.

Qi Chengen was the first to put down his chopsticks and said, "Xin'er, are you angry with your father?"

Qi Shengxin put down his chopsticks and said, "I don't dare."

Qi Shengzhu's eyes moved between the two people, and suddenly he understood: "Father, my brother has a bright future now..."

"Zhu'er." Qi Chengen interrupted Qi Shengzhu, "Father has already written a letter of resignation. After submitting it tomorrow, we will leave the capital."

"As for Mei'er."

Qi Chengen took out a divorce letter from his sleeve and said, "From now on, the Qi family will have no relationship with the royal family."

Qi Shengmei took the divorce papers, her eyes full of disbelief.

This is the divorce letter written by the emperor himself.

If there was no such divorce letter, when Bei Yuan died in the future, according to etiquette, she would be sent to the imperial mausoleum as the crown princess.

Or, give a white silk.

Like Qi Shengmei's reaction, Qi Shengzhu was also extremely excited.

Her eldest sister can finally get rid of the prince!

"Thank you, father, but what does it mean to resign?" Qi Shengmei asked.

Not only that, she also vaguely felt that Qi Chengen had been preparing to resign for a long time.

Otherwise, how could I have received the divorce papers today?

Qi Chengen's expression changed slightly.

The eyes of the three children were all on his face.

Qi Chengen said, "I am old now. The capital city is indeed prosperous, but there are also many intrigues. Father is tired and wants to take a rest."

"But my brother has a bright future now. Father, how can you be so pessimistic? It takes several generations of hard work for others to become a noble or a prime minister. Our Qi family is already famous now, why do you want to resign?"

Qi Shengzhu didn't understand.

Qi Chengen looked at Qi Shengzhu deeply, and did not answer the question, but said: "Let's eat."

No matter how angry he was, Qi Shengzhu didn't dare to continue asking.

Only after the family had finished their meal did she say, "Father, I have something to tell you."

Qi Chengen turned around, looked at Qi Shengzhu, and said in the same way: "That's right, I have something to ask you too."

In the pavilion, summer cicadas are chirping.

Qi Chengen stood with his hands behind his back and spoke first: "Zhu'er, it was you who sent someone to Lanzhou to deliver the letter to Zhang Yue, right?"

Qi Shengzhu bit his lip and denied, "No."

"If it's not you, who else could it be? Why do you think your father resigned at this juncture? The assassination of the crown prince is a serious matter. For Zhang Yue's career, the Xu family will definitely investigate it thoroughly. And Xu Ze is a man who will never let go of any grudge. Once he finds out the trick, the Qi family will be in tatters!"

Qi Chengen didn't even dare to think about assassinating the crown prince.

He didn't even dare to think about how Qi Shengzhu came up with the idea of ​​killing someone with a borrowed knife. Unfortunately, Qi Shengzhu's knife was aimed at the wrong person.

Not only is the knife blunt, but the person holding it is also extremely smart.

"Why does father feel that the Xu family will definitely be able to find out something?" Qi Shengzhu asked back.

She had already done this thoroughly.

If it could be found out, it would have been found out long ago.

Unlike Qi Shengzhu who was not under any pressure, Qi Chengen's heart had sunk into the abyss. He looked at Qi Shengzhu and asked word by word, "Is it really you?"
