Chapter 473: Shock
"Your Royal Highness, none of the grandmothers who delivered babies to His Royal Highness the Nine were not on duty in the palace anymore, and the servants inquired, it seems that the Nine Emperors were born for only a month, and those grandmothers were either sick or died, and left the palace in various ways. Walking in front of Xiao Yu, he saluted, and said with a solemn face.
He has followed Xiao Yu for many years, and he has gone through more experience than ordinary young masters, coupled with his own intelligence, from the time Xiao Yu asked him to investigate Xiao Ke, he vaguely understood what Xiao Yu was suspicious.
At this time, when such news was found, I knew in my heart that this matter was extraordinary.
What Minglu said, Xiao Yu had already learned from Concubine Hui, so there was no emotional fluctuation expected by Minglu on the face.
Looking at Xiao Yu's expression, he took a breath, and Ming Lu continued: "According to the booklet of the enthronement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that year, the slave found that there were only five grandmothers living near the outskirts of Beijing, so he checked them one by one according to the address on it. ”
When Minglu's words fell, Xiao Yu answered: "Could it be that they are all dead?" The voice was cold, and there was a cold air like frost in his eyes.
When Minglu heard this, he pulled his lips and smiled bitterly, "Almost." The slave thought at the time, if the five grandmothers in the suburbs of Beijing were gone, the slave would look for those from other provinces. ”
"But the slave is lucky, and finally in the fifth house, I found a person who was about to breathe, and I heard her family say that since she came out of the palace, she had a strange disease, and she became a family of days, shouting and screaming excitedly at night, but she was unconscious during the day. ”
Hearing that there were still people alive, Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked towards Minglu, "What about people?"
Ming Lu said: "Because of her health, the slave did not dare to ride a horse to take her back to the house, hired a carriage, and let her son accompany her all the way into Beijing, although she was drowsy, she could hear the slave's voice with a Beijing accent, and she was shocked when she landed, saying that she refused to come, and his son was an open-eyed man who saw money, and listened to the slave say that he would spend a lot of money to invite his mother to Beijing, and immediately did not say a word, and did not even ask the reason, so he nodded and agreed. ”
"Since he is greedy for money, the slave is relieved, and he is given enough money. The minion rode his horse, came back first, and then made the next arrangement. Counting the hours, they should have traveled before and after the real decision. ”
As he spoke, Ming Lu's tone paused slightly, took a breath, and added: "Your Highness, rest assured, her family lives in Hejian Mansion, and there happen to be our people there, and the slave called two of them with a code, and followed them all the way, even if his son wants to play any tricks, with those two people here, it will be absolutely fine." When it comes to Zhending, the doctor in our medicine store will accompany him, in case the grandmother's body can't support her halfway. ”
Minglu has always done things properly, Xiao Yu has always been at ease, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head, as for whether Minglu found the addresses of those grandmothers from the enthronement brochure of the Internal Affairs Office through various means, Xiao Yu didn't want to ask too much.
After Ming Lu finished speaking, Xiao Yu thought for a while, and instructed: "You go to greet you at this moment, enter Beijing, don't let people follow you, directly take people to the Hou Mansion of China, enter through the back door, if you meet Xiao Yi's people to inquire, don't say that there are people in the car, only say that I bought a few eighteen bachelors and give them to Gu Yuqing." ”
Ming Lu got the order, turned around and left, Xiao Yu got up and went straight to the Hou Mansion of China.
When Xiao Yu arrived, Gu Yuqing had already held the two rosewood boxes and waited under the flower stand in the courtyard of Tongyuan.
Seeing that the housekeeper ushered Xiao Yu in, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you come so late?"
The voice came out, but he didn't realize at all that there was an intimate and familiar taste in his words.
On an autumn afternoon, the sun is really warm.
Under the wall of Tongyuan, there is a row of laurel trees planted, the sun is full of flowers, wisps, into the internal organs, at a glance to see Gu Yuqing, Xiao Yu only felt that the whole person was light, and the full stomach along the way was dignified, and it was suddenly gone.
The two sat opposite each other, their eyes slid over the two rosewood boxes on the table, Xiao Yu explained: "When I went out, I encountered something, so I came late. You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" the tone was natural, but it was as doting as ever.
Indulging in Xiao Yu's gaze, Gu Yuqing didn't know why, so she nodded, "I'll wait after lunch." That tone was actually coquettish.
Xiao Yu listened, only to feel that there was a light breeze in his heart, accompanied by the warm sun and the fragrance of flowers.
The eyes were full of tenderness, and he smiled: "It's me who is not good, and I should let people pass it on first." ”
Listening to Xiao Yu's apology, Gu Yuqing's heart suddenly jumped alive, but it was a horror after realizing it...... God, what's wrong with her, why did she talk to Xiao Yu in such a tone...... This...... This is clearly the same as Su Ri's her, judging two people!
A wisp of crimson hit his cheeks, but Xiao Yu on the other side had already spoken, "Minglu will bring someone in through the back door of your house in a while, you ask the housekeeper to arrange it, when the person arrives, send it here directly, don't let people keep an eye on it." ”
Although the voice was spoiled, the content was solemn, Gu Yuqing immediately gathered her flying pink thoughts, endured the heat on her face, and turned her head to order Ji Xiang, "According to His Highness's words, I will go down." ”
Ji Xiang took the order and left, Gu Yuqing took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and asked, "What happened, who is the person who is coming?
I was secretly annoyed in my heart, it was clear that I was talking about business with Xiao Yu, why couldn't I help but think about it in my head!
Xiao Yu stared at Gu Yuqing's eyes, and said solemnly and slowly: "It has nothing to do with Miao Jiang, let's not talk about Miao Jiang today, Miao Jiang's affairs, and then put it aside for a few days and then discuss it." ”
Gu Yuqing looked back in surprise, "Don't talk about Miao Jiang?"
Xiao Yu nodded, "The person who will come in a moment may know your brother's whereabouts." In order to take into account Gu Yuqing's emotions, Xiao Yu deliberately lowered his voice.
But when Gu Yuqing heard this, she still couldn't help but tremble in her eyes, Huo Ran got up, her face was bloody, and at a visible speed, it faded quickly, staring at Xiao Yu, "What did you say?" The breath was disordered, and the blood was flowing.
Even Ruyi, who was guarding behind Gu Yuqing, was frightened by Xiao Yu's sudden words.
I had expected Gu Yuqing's reaction before I came, but seeing Gu Yuqing like this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but twitch his heart fiercely, as if there was a heavy wooden wedge, which was inserted into his heart, blocking all his blood return.
got up and shook Gu Yuqing's hand, the cold temperature between Gu Yuqing came from the palm of his hand, Xiao Yu flashed with the luster of broken diamonds under his eyes, and said distressedly: "She may know your brother's whereabouts, but ...... But I'm not sure what it is, and I won't know until we meet, and I've never seen it before. ”
Gu Yuqing listened to Xiao Yu's words in a daze, but felt that only the voice sounded, and as for the content, it seemed that it had not flowed into her brain at all.
