Chapter 4: The Starting Point of Intertwined Destinies (4)

One

Duan Qianyan did excellent work, and it didn't take long for him to return to Lao Jiang's room with Xiaoxue in his arms, and jumped in through the window, startling Lao Jiang who was reconciling accounts; Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Xue didn't bother to deal with Lao Jiang's bitter words, took out a piece of paper from the stack of papers on the desk, wrote two words with a pen, and held it in front of Lao Jiang, "Immediately start to check this person, I want to know everything about him." ”

"Second prince, the emperor leaves?" Lao Jiang touched his beard, didn't understand what the young lady meant, and stopped preaching to her for a while. "What are you doing with him?"

"He was the man who found out who I was and almost killed me that night. ”

When Lao Jiang heard this, he hit his head like thunder, and he was shocked in place, and said in a lost voice: "What? It's him!" He calmed down in the twilight, his brows were dry, and he said: "A few days ago, the county magistrate invited me to talk about the heavy cargo of Xinghai Yuelou, and he also talked about the fact that there would be people from the Southern Chu royal family among the Confucian distinguished guests this time, and he said that the imperial edict he received only wrote the names of the crown prince and General Long Wei, and there was no second prince!"

Xiaoxue folded her arms around her chest and blew. "Not on the list, but appearing in Confucianism, it seems that he is an uninvited guest. No wonder he wants to hide in the Qinglou, he doesn't want to be discovered, he is cunning enough. ”

"Miss, don't talk about others, what should you do if you cause trouble?"

Duan Qianyan sat by the window, silent, making a quiet curtain.

Xiaoxue was annoyed by Lao Jiang's preaching, "Don't talk about me, anyway, he didn't know who I was at that time, so there wouldn't be any big problem." I'm more interested in what he came to Dongzi for?"

"What do you want to do?" Lao Jiang had a bad premonition.

"Since I met him, the prince who sneaked here, he must have an ulterior conspiracy. How could I miss such an interesting thing, I must find out. Xiaoxue's eyes were shining, like a little fox who only found interesting things, and her smile was bright and moving.

Lao Jiang shivered under this smile. Sure enough, the playful young lady will definitely bring him countless troubles, and she is even more difficult to serve than her sister.

"Interesting?" Duan Qianyan on the side suddenly chuckled, "I think you're idle and have nothing to do to find trouble, don't die." ”

"Yes, yes, Miss can't provoke the royal family, she will kill someone. Lao Jiang echoed casually, and suddenly had a good impression of Duan Qianyan in his heart.

Xiao Xue glanced at the two men and snorted: "Who doesn't want to die, I just want to know what the purpose of the royal family is when they come to Dongzi, as for being so nervous." ”

The voyage of Xinghai Yuelou more than a month ago, the return voyage now, the arrival of the prince, and Duan Qianyan and the emperor's departure, all of this made Xiaoxue feel that there was a hidden thread in her heart to connect these irrelevant things with people, and even faintly felt that it was still a little related to her sister who had been missing for half a year.

She was desperate to figure it all out, desperate for answers.

Two

Lao Jiang couldn't stop Miss in the end, so he let her and Duan Qianyan investigate some royal conspiracy.

The garden will be silent for a few days, and the lively young lady will no longer quarrel with Duan Qianyan, and pull people to bury them in a pile of books to find some earth-shattering conspiracy, and she has not stepped out of the door for several days, which makes Lao Jiang a little worried; Xiaoxue was busy finding out the truth, so she didn't have time to pay attention to Lao Jiang, and told the maid to just leave the food at the door, and no one was allowed to disturb her.

Although her tossing in the past few days made Lao Jiang feel that her young lady had new hope to be a good lady, but at the same time, she was worried about whether she would get twice the result with half the effort, and the toss became more and more unpleasant, and ...... The kid surnamed Duan was also in the room, which really made Lao Jiang worry about the safety and reputation of the young lady. He thought that if that kid dared to do anything like a dog to Miss, he would slaughter him.

The more I thought about it, the more worried Lao Jiang stayed outside the young lady's room for several days, with a big knife pinned to his waist, which looked no different from a weak scholar carrying a knife to kill chickens;

"Master, it's been ten days, and it's not a problem for you to stay here like this, go back. "The zealous maid comforted. Lao Jiang had a cold face, no matter who said anything, he would never shake his determination to stick to the young lady in his heart, and the maid who wanted to say anything more was interrupted by a super high scream as soon as she spoke.

"Ahh ”

"Miss!" The third voice that sounded at the same time was Lao Jiang.

The door was kicked open from the outside.

The two men in the room were stunned by the noise. Before he could see the situation inside, Lao Jiang was full of anger and Qiu Ri Lu, and roared coldly: "Bold boy, what are you going to do to my young lady!?"

The room was silent, and there was an indescribable weirdness in the atmosphere.

After a while, Xiao Xue said, "Lao Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

Lao Jiang's eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of him, and he didn't know what to do for a while. The young lady of his family sat on the ground, full of stacks of books, Duan Gongzi stood in front of the young lady with a few books, and the two of them did nothing bad except for being closer...... A hen in a hen's nest. "You...... What are you doing?" he opened his mouth, embarrassed to tell the young lady that he had come to catch her and Duan Gongzi's "adultery".

Xiaoxue was asked inexplicably: "What else can I do, of course I am checking the emperor's departure." ”

"Miss, you haven't given up yet. ”

For a few days and nights, she forgot to sleep and eat, she tossed for a while, what kind of royal conspiracy is there for her, but she was unlucky to have a holiday with the emperor, but her curiosity was too strong, and she had to find out the secret of the second prince secretly coming to Dongzi and the royal family to build Xinghai Yuelou. How could such an extremely important secret be found out from a book? She doesn't give up, she can't find the big secret, so she goes to find the little secret, so these **** have been checking about the emperor's departure, and all the things about the second prince are not let go.

"Miss!" Lao Jiang stroked his forehead helplessly.

Xiaoxue felt a headache when she heard this long sigh. Lao Jiang began to preach at length again, and her ears should be blocked again. "Lao Jiang, I'm going to go out, you can talk to him slowly!" In order not to have a headache, she had better leave here early, she pointed at Duan Qianyan, and before the two men could respond, she bypassed Lao Jiang and went straight to the door, and soon disappeared.

The words "Miss ......" were stuck in the middle of his throat, Lao Jiang couldn't stop her, he glanced at the mess, and then Duan Gongzi, you look at me, I look at you, just about to say something, Duan Gongzi preemptively spoke up and said to him: "Mr. Jiang, it's inconvenient to disturb for many days, now I have something very important to do, let's talk about it another day." After finishing speaking, Lao Jiang blinked with a cool breeze, and in the blink of an eye, Duan Gongzi was no longer in the house, he subconsciously looked at the opened window - the autumn wind had brought the coolness of winter, and the blowing window panel crackled. If he's not mistaken, the window was closed until he entered.

Three

"Why did you come out?"

"It's fast enough, your grandfather is troublesome enough, and it's not too tired to nag all day, just like you. ”

"Can you have a little brain, I've said it eight hundred times, he's not my grandfather. ”

"You said I don't have a brain, huh?" Duan Qianyan's narrow eyes flashed with an unknown light, and the last word "um" was long.

Xiaoxue was annoyed in her heart, she was the one who had no brains, how could she forget that this man was a cruel master, she still had to be an honest timid little woman. "I'm sorry, but don't take it to heart. She snorted like a mosquito.

Taking her cowardice into full view, Duan Qianyan's heart was very happy. He likes to tease this dead girl the most, and his annoyed and unangry little appearance makes him laugh. "I'm really sure to go to Confucianism again. He got down to business.

She looked up and nodded seriously: "Well, you must go." ”

He was helpless, and the determined light in her eyes made him unable to refuse. "Confucianism has been heavily guarded recently, and this trip is full of dangers. He asked her again, "Are you really going?"

"Just go, don't ask so much. Xiaoxue was a little impatient, this person was talking nonsense and fighting with Lao Jiangyou.

Duan Qianyan sighed, shook his head secretly, picked her up, and showed off his skills, flying like a swallow over the blue walls and red tiles, the small buildings in the mountains and forests, and shuttled freely over the suburbs made of garden mansions.

Xiaoxue buried her head in Duan Qianyan's arms, letting the cold wind blow her hair and dance like a madman. To be honest, she is indeed inferior to him in light skills, otherwise she would not have been trapped by him for three months, but fortunately, now that he is by her side, it is convenient for her to go out to do errands.

After checking for a few days, she finally found a clue. Even Lao Jiang couldn't find out the secret of Xinghai Yuelou, she gave up this big mystery and turned her head to the emperor who almost caught her to find the truth she wanted. She didn't have the opportunity or time to contact the affairs of the Central Plains countries before, so it took a lot of time to figure out the current situation of the Southern Chu royal family. This emperor is the second son of Emperor Yuan Jing, and also the youngest son; since he was a child, Emperor Yuan Jing can be said to be extremely spoiled to him, so he has also developed his arrogant, rebellious, cynical character, although he is talented and intelligent, but he is greedy for play, every time he gets into trouble, Emperor Yuan Jing scolds him for not doing his job, and his reputation for arrogance spreads more and more; this makes some courtiers who originally intended to stand on his side throw themselves into the prince's camp, but he himself does not care. In fact, from his name, it can be concluded that he has no chance to ascend the throne and become king in this life...... Although Emperor Yuan Jing favored his younger son, it was his eldest son Huang Yuan who had expectations, and even named his eldest son with the word "Yuan" in his own name, which was a clear announcement of the heir to the throne. It is no wonder that the ministers have no objection to the crown prince, and in terms of the prince's virtue and function alone, he is indeed the best candidate for the succession to the throne. As for Huang Li, everyone seems to never care about his nonsense, who told him to have a good brother who can clean up the mess for him anytime and anywhere.

Xiaoxue felt that these rumors and news were half-true, and after seeing the two brothers that day, she deeply felt that neither of them was a good product, the elder brother was pseudo-faced, and the younger brother was ridiculous;

How much family affection does the royal family have to talk about, and some are just the difference between monarchs and ministers, and the struggle for power. She bets that the Nanchu royal family is not simple on the surface, there is a lot of deep water inside, especially the prince of Huangli, such skills, such talent, she doesn't believe that he has no intention of taking the throne, it is very likely that he has been dormant in the shadows of the royal family in order to hide his strength, waiting for the opportunity to give the opponent the biggest blow. Thinking about the struggle for power in the court, she couldn't suppress her excitement, she liked to watch these intrigues and intrigues the battle, among which the twists and turns were the most exciting, always making her unexpected surprises. In addition, she also wants to know who wins and who loses after the brutal fight.

Keenly feeling that the girl in her arms had any bad thoughts, Duan Qianyan's hand holding her waist pinched her waist fiercely.

"It hurts!" With a miserable scream, Xiao Xue raised her resentful eyes and glared at the man above, "Duan Qianyan, what are you smoking? Why are you pinching me?" The meat on her waist must be red without looking at it, she is a girl, treating her so rudely is against the style of a gentleman, and it is even more like a villain.

Duan Qianyan glanced at her and said lightly: "I don't know what bad ideas you're fighting? This time I went to Confucianism, everything listened to me, and I was not allowed to cause trouble." ”

"I'm just going to see what Brother Huangli is going to do in Dongzi, don't you think I'm so unreliable?" she was shocked, and wondered how he knew that she was going to secretly investigate Huangli's secret.

"What the hell do you want to know about the Emperor?"

"Would you believe me if I said I was just curious about him?" she wasn't lying, the things of this world had nothing to do with her.

Duan Qianyan glanced at her again, "Just to satisfy curiosity? ”

Xiaoxue didn't speak, lowered her head, half of her face was hidden in the shadows, and she couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow.

The wind is still blowing, autumn is coming to an end, winter is coming, and in a few months, the new year will turn the gears of the seasons again.
