Chapter 69 The Unchanged Result

"How about it, I'm going to be interesting this time, I'll have a drink with you once I'm back in Bianjing." Gu Tingye said beamingly.

Yao Yi rolled his eyes, the first person Gu Tingye looked for when he came back was definitely Sheng Changbai.

"Didn't I hear that the army went to Guangxi to quell the rebellion? Why did you go back to Bianjing?"

"Hey, you don't know my superior. You are afraid that I will be promoted too quickly. You say you are sending me back to make connections, but in fact you don't want me to do any more meritorious service." Gu Tingye laughed.

"You have a big heart, and you can still laugh now."

"You don't know, my Shangguan is an idiot, and he will definitely suffer a loss this time, and he didn't ask me in the end." Gu Tingye said proudly.

After the two drank a few cups, Gu Tingye finally couldn't bear it and said the reason for his visit.

"Do you know about Yuan Ruo?" Gu Tingye put down his chopsticks and asked.

"I know." Yao Yi nodded.

"Where is Miss Six?"

"I didn't ask, I thought it was sad." Yao Yi said.

"I'm looking for you because I want you to accompany me to find Yuan Ruo."

Yao Yi looked at Gu Tingye and asked with a half-smile:
"Really? Are you afraid that Yuan Ruo will listen to your advice?"

Gu Tingye sneered and said:
"How did you know I wanted to help?"

Yao Yi didn't speak, and continued to look at Gu Tingye.

"Okay, okay, to be honest, I don't want Minglan to be too sad. I know Yuan Ruo's temperament, after all, he's a bit weaker, and he won't hold his head hard." Yao Yi looked at him with hairs all over, Gu Tingye confessed honestly .

"Okay, you know that Yuan Ruo won't listen to persuasion, so you deliberately came out to pretend to be a good person."

"No, after all, Yuan Ruo and I have a long-term friendship. Only by persuading me can I have a clear conscience."

Yao Yi nodded, because Gu Tingye felt that he owed Qi Heng the last chance to choose.

Seeing that Yao Yi agreed, Gu Tingye nodded in a complicated way.He approached Yao Yi because he felt that Qi Heng could not be persuaded by himself, but after Yao Yi agreed, he worried that Qi Heng was really persuaded by Yao Yi, and his heart was very complicated.

At this moment, Gu Tingye didn't have much interest in eating anymore, so he asked someone to go and invite Qi Heng to come over.

Qi Heng had a very hard time these days, he knew in his heart that he was sorry for Minglan, but for the sake of the whole family and Minglan, he had to bow his head.He can't eat well or sleep well now, and he has lost a lot of weight.

"Yuan Ruo, do you know why we brought you here?" Gu Tingye asked.

"Yes, it's about the Sixth Sister." Qi Heng said in a hoarse voice.

"I heard that King Yong has sacrificed to Chengtian for His Majesty."

"Yes." Qi Heng lowered his head and replied.

"Then is the Princess very satisfied with this marriage?"

Qi Heng raised his head, looked at Gu Tingye and said:
"Second uncle, if I refuse, even the Sheng family will suffer. If you are me, what would you do?"

"If I were you, I would cry in front of the official's family. Or, I would follow King Yong's example of helping other people's daughters, and tie up that county master. Without a daughter, I will see how King Yong will marry your family. At that time If you procrastinate any longer, this matter will go to waste." Gu Tingye said eagerly.

Qi Heng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly again.

"This is a way to hurt the enemy one thousand and self-damage eight hundred. Right now, King Yong is about to be granted the East Palace. If he disagrees, it will be a matter of destroying the family."

Gu Tingye picked up the jug, filled the wine glass in front of Qi Heng, and said:
"If you don't have the courage to put yourself to death, how can things in this world go your way?"

"Until now, it's all my fault." Qi Heng said in shame.

"Of course it's your fault. If it wasn't for your hesitation, you always feel that the timing is wrong. Where did these things come from?"

"I know, but King Yong is domineering. If I don't agree, the Qi family will be retaliated against. I really can't take the whole Duke of Qi's mansion to take risks together." Qi Heng said in a low voice, as if his energy and spirit had been emptied. No longer had the previous look.

"That's not necessarily true." Yao Yi said.

The other two people on the table looked at Yao Yi.

"You are a veteran of Duke Qi's mansion, and you have many relatives. Your mother was raised under the empress' knees since childhood, so you are different from ordinary nobles. Ever since you got engaged to King Yong, it has been rumored in Beijing that the palace is more interested in King Yong. It didn't take long for the officials to ask King Yong to sacrifice to heaven on his behalf, isn't there any connection?" Yao Yi said in a deep voice.

As if struck by lightning, Qi Heng murmured:

"No wonder Princess Yong did this because she wanted my Qi family to send a wrong message to the dignitaries in Bianjing."

"That's right, outsiders know that the princess is very close to the palace, and the sudden engagement must be due to some news, and the dignitaries in Beijing must be vying for refuge." Gu Tingye also suddenly realized.

Yao Yi nodded and continued:
"No matter how much King Yong loves his daughter, he shouldn't use this kind of method. But I felt something was wrong. I went back and thought about it for a long time before I realized it. The position of the crown prince is no longer something that can be changed by the official will. , the officials are now looking at who is more popular, King Yong is already more supported, and now he is using this method, the current situation is hard to change."

Qi Heng leaned on the chair slumped, regretful in his heart, it turned out that everything turned around before, but he didn't realize it.

"Yuan Qian, is there any way to save it now?" Qi Heng suddenly asked Yao Yi expectantly.

Yao Yi shook his head and said:
"Apart from Zhong Huai's crooked ideas, there is really no other way."

Qi Heng's eyes lost their luster again.

"Yuan Ruo, think clearly, this is the last resort, if you don't catch it, you and Minglan will miss out on this life." Yao Yi couldn't help but said.

"As long as you say a word, I am willing to help, and I will prepare the staff." Gu Tingye also said.

Qi Heng lowered his head and thought for a long time, finally shook his head and said:

"I can't let the Qi family, Minglan and I take this risk together."

"Confused, the Sheng family is a Qingliu. No matter who is in power, at most he will be dismissed from office. Your Qi family is deeply rooted, and he can't kill them all. As for other methods, Zhonghuai has a lot of people and can protect you." Yao Yi said.

Qi Heng was silent for a long time, and said:
"For me and Minglan, it's really not worth so many people paying such a price."

Qi Heng took out another wooden box and said to the two of them:

"Please help to return this thing to her, just say I'm sorry for her."

After all, Qi Heng was about to get up and leave.

"You should think clearly, this time you take this step back, no matter what opportunities you have in the future, with Minglan's temperament, she will not change her mind." Yao Yi said the last sentence, Qi Heng still did not look back , went straight away.

Gu Tingye quietly breathed a sigh of relief watching Qi Heng leave.

"Why, are you finally relieved?" Yao Yi said to Gu Tingye.

"Hey, you don't know. When you talked just now, I wanted him to change his mind, and I was afraid that he would change his mind. I was very complicated."

Yao Yi shook his head, pointed to the wooden box and said:

"This will trouble you."
