Chapter 117: Xiao Yan
Nanjing's Tian'er is also like the capital of the dripping water into ice, because of the royal identity and status, so that the ancestor worship is naturally complex and rigorous, tossed and turned for more than half a month, the trip to the ancestors in Nanjing is also coming to an end.
In the palatial palace, the palace lamps are hanging quietly, the palace people who come and go are silently doing their own things, at this moment, a large hall under the corridor gradually sounded a hurried and hurried footsteps, the people who were originally guarding the corridor couldn't help but raise their eyes curiously, only to see a vague figure gradually approaching, until the approach, the palace people bowed down and said: "Father-in-law." β
I didn't know that Xide didn't respond at all, so he hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in, and a few sharp-eyed people recalled the sweat on Xide's forehead when they were just approaching, and they could probably figure out that something must have happened in the capital.
When Xide walked into the inner hall quickly, he stood in front of the last soft curtain and gasped and said, "Lord Wang." β
There was only a faint sound of "um-" in the quiet hall, and Xide hurriedly walked in, only to see that the hall was all holding lamps, and a slightly deserted figure was sitting behind the bookcase, holding a book quite leisurely, as if immersed in it, and did not raise his head.
"Lord Wangβ"
Hearing Xide's cautious and tentative voice, Xiao Yan, who was dressed in a navy blue regular clothes, was unmoved, but said lightly: "What's the matter." β
Xi De hesitated slightly, then covered his eyes more carefully, and replied in a low voice: "Go back to the prince, something happened in the capital." β
The words slowly dispersed into the air, and I saw Xiao Yan, who was sitting quite quietly behind the desk, his lowered eyes moved slightly, and gradually raised them, and his eyes were deep and indifferent, and he asked indifferently, "What's the matter?" β
As soon as Xi De heard the voice, he immediately knelt down and said with some caution: "Back to the prince's words, the concubine-concubine Niangniang has been demoted to the North Palace." β
Xiao Yan's pupils widened slightly, the tiger's mouth that was originally holding the scroll was slightly retracted, and his brows furrowed slightly, and then he said loudly: "Because of what?"
Xi De didn't dare to delay when he heard this, and he didn't even dare to raise his head, so he hurriedly said: "Back to the prince, listen to our people in the capital to report, it seems that Mama Yu who is locked up in the east factory wants to drag the concubine Niangniang into the water, and the concubine Niangniang is worried that Mama Yu will really stab the matter to His Majesty, so she secretly plans to get rid of the concubine Niangniang, who knows that the two servants who were ordered are also useless things, but they were bumped into by the people of Dongchang, and they were recruited without standing the punishment for a whileββ"
Xiao Yan pinched the thin page when he heard this, and the cold words came out immediately.
"Then Mama Yu, what did you want to confess?"
When Xi De heard this, he was stunned, and almost stubbornly said: "I heard that it is--it is to say that the noble concubine Niangniang has reached an alliance with the late Empress Dowager Xiaowen, and wants to help the prince ......."
Speaking of this, Xi De didn't dare to say any more, he was already shocked into a cold sweat, and even his body stiffened a little.
In fact, there is no need to say more, Xiao Yan can also guess a few points, at this moment his hand holding the scroll gradually tightened, his knuckles became more and more convex, and the almost pinched pages became more and more wrinkled.
The hall is becoming more and more quiet at the moment, which makes people can't help but feel a little weird with a cold air, and after a long time, when Xi De's kneeling knees were already in pain, Xiao Yan's voice sounded again.
"Above the court, but it has also spread all over the world?"
Xi De nodded when he heard this, and then shook his head as if he remembered something, and then hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty issued an edict, and the grounding order in the name of the noble concubine's disobedience is also the same in the court. β
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, a cold smile gradually appeared in the corners of his eyes, his hand was slightly loosened, and the scroll was thrown on the case casually, only then did he reach out and pick up a hot tea in front of him, gently brushed it, and took a sip indifferently.
Since this is the case, he has nothing to worry about, his mother, he is also very well understood, but he is afraid that in order to leave a way back for himself, he has been left out of it with all his thoughts, and because of this, Cheng Guifei has never let him personally contact the people of the former Cining Palace.
This is the last thing his mother did for him.
Although, it wasn't meant to be for him.
"Okay, why did Mama Yu suddenly behave like this. β
Hearing this, Xi De raised his head, his eyes flashed, and he immediately remembered something, and Ma Li replied: "Back to the prince, as soon as the matter came out, Feng Wei's apprentice Lingbao also secretly handed a message to our people, saying......"
Xide slowly lowered his voice a little and said, "After Feng Wei was ordered by His Majesty to interrogate Mama Yu, Mama Yu confessed. β
Feng Wei?
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, then Feng Wei actually obeyed the holy order? Could it be that behind this is-
"Lord Wang, this Feng Wei is like this, shouldn't we ......?"
Seeing the ruthlessness in Xide's eyes, Xiao Yan said sharply in his eyes: "Do you think that Feng Wei is a spiritual treasure?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's warning, Xi De was immediately silenced, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed tightly, could it be that his father really noticed something, and he just used Feng Wei as a temptation.
If this is the case, then even if her mother is alive, it will only be a drag on him.
Seeing that Xiao Yan's eyes were becoming more and more gloomy, Xi De couldn't help but shrink his neck and silently lowered his head, but the next moment, the inexplicable chuckle behind the bookcase made him slightly stunned, and he only heard the corners of Xiao Yan's lips intriguing and gently hooked: "Lingbao? It seems that it is indeed a good knife." β
Speaking of this, Xiao Yanfang was about to speak, but he heard a slight sound of footsteps outside, and when Xi De saw this, he hurriedly sorted out his expression and stood up, but Xiao Yan frowned hesitantly.
The next moment, an attendant walked in cautiously, sensing Xiao Yan's unhappiness, almost soaked in cold sweat, and was very close to not letting himself speak in a trembling voice.
"Lord Wang, someone from outside just came to report, and Master Zheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, accompanied the three girls out of Shuizi Lane. β
Xiao Yan's eyes raised slightly when he heard this, and the unhappiness gradually dissipated, and a faint smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xide couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that his prince's anger had been suppressed.
"Sidder. β
Hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Xi De hurriedly stood up straight and said, "The little one is here." β
"Dressing. β
Seeing Xiao Yan raise his feet and enter the inner room, Xide hurriedly followed, not daring to delay in the slightest.
And he also knew who his prince was looking for when he left the mansion at this moment.
In the eyes of others, he may think that he is a beautiful woman, but he knows that what the prince really wants to know is the Zheng Shilang who has been admitted to the Shu Jishi but has the ability to be a military attachΓ©.
Today's thirty-five years of Shu Jishi, thirty-eight years, awarded the Hanlin Academy for review. Later, he was transferred to the Hanlin Academy as a lecturer, and now he is a cabinet scholar for the rank of waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
This time, the prince can be regarded as a Bole knowing horses, and he has taken precautions.
