In the wide study, there is no other light except for the lamp in front of the desk, which is very suitable for the disguise of a person in a black power suit like the cold guard. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although he knew that he had been discovered before he entered this study, he still entered quietly according to his habit and stood behind the person in front of the desk.

"Master."

The man was originally writing, and when he heard this, he paused his hand movements: "Say." ”

"The emperor sent a secret guard to search the garden, but nothing was found. Father-in-law Gao also said that Miss Xue San did not leak a drop in front of the emperor today, and the emperor already believed that she had nothing to do with the eldest princess. ”

"Where's her maid?"

Her maid was taken for questioning, asking about the details of her daily life, and also allowing her to identify the letters that Miss Xue San had written to Mrs. Xue San before. But the strange thing is that the inquiring grandmother threatened the maid not to disclose the matter to Miss Xue San, and her attitude was very strict. But these are just some very common things. ”

Because in the process of questioning, they also revealed some information that was difficult to distinguish between true and false, if the maid revealed the meeting between Mama and her to Xue Ying, Xue Ying would receive those false information. In the future, the emperor will find another opportunity to test Xue Ying, as long as Xue Ying knows that her maid has been taken for questioning, she will definitely show her flaws; On the contrary, if the maid was as timid as she appeared and Xue Ying was as ignorant as she appeared, the maid would not dare to reveal the matter to Xue Ying, and Xue Ying would not notice that something was wrong, and the two of them would be safe. ”

The Han guard took a slight breath: "So, the emperor didn't fully believe Miss Xue San's words?" ”

"Convinced?" The man at the desk played with these two words and shook his head, "It's too difficult." "With the emperor's suspicious personality, I'm afraid even Xue Qi won't let it go easily, let alone Xue Ying.

"Then, Miss Xue San, do we need to remind you?"

The man shook his head: "The more vigilant she is about this matter, the easier it is for her to reveal her flaws under the emperor's temptation, and it is better to be confused—as long as she can control her curiosity and resolutely do not inquire about what her maid has done and seen and heard today." ”

The Han guards were speechless: It is said that curiosity kills cats, and it seems simple to control curiosity, but it is actually too difficult to do.

The man dipped the ink and began to write again: "You find a chance to test Qi Mo, the Five Poisons Token should be in his hand." ”

The Han guard commanded: "Yes." ”

………………

Tossed until midnight the day before, Xue Ying began to cough early the next morning, her face was pale and pale, and everyone was distressed, but she still insisted on going out to find Xixi.

Xi Xi saw her sick appearance and sneered: "It seems that I have suffered a lot of sins at the plum banquet!" ”

Xue Ying asked Qiaoya to break off and get straight to the point: "The emperor summoned me." ”

Xi Xi put on a serious expression: "What did you say?" ”

"Ask something about the temple."

Xi Xi frowned: "How dare he?" ”

"Why not? Isn't he the emperor? Xue Ying coughed while forcibly cheering up, "When he asked, I wondered why his tone was so strange, as if he was careful not to touch something he was particularly taboo about. ”

"Of course, it is taboo, the first Empress Dowager has an order, and the courtiers are not allowed to inquire about all matters that interfere with the Ganxiao Temple, including the royal family. This is a secret for many people, and only a few people in the royal family and the three princes and marquis know about it. ”

"The first Empress Dowager?" Xue Ying coughed violently several times, her face flushed, and took out a piece of cough suppressant and put it in her mouth before it was slightly relieved. "You're talking about Empress Wuren, Jiang Li?"

Xi Xi nodded.

"Why did she give such an order? Also, Master Mingtu...... In addition to being Chuan Shuai's wife, does she have another identity? ”

Xi Xi hesitated for a moment before answering: "She is the eldest princess Yunyang, the aunt of the current emperor, and the youngest daughter of Taizu and Empress Wuren. ”

"Princess Yunyang?" Xue Ying muttered, "No wonder, I have looked for information about the royal family before, but whether it is official or civil, I don't know anything about this Yunyang princess." Some people say that she is the princess of the country and is burdened with the heavy responsibility of protecting the country, and some people say that she is the princess of the country of calamity, which will bring huge disasters to Dagu, and may even lead to the destruction of the country and the family. ”

"Since you can ask about this, it means that you have already guessed her identity before, right?"

Xue Ying nodded. The kind of herb commonly used by Master Mingtu was named "Princess Disease", so she had already had a guess a few years ago, and Master Mingtu's age seemed to be appropriate, so she had vague suspicions, but she couldn't be sure.

"So, is Master Mingtu protecting the country or harming the country?"

"The so-called princess of national fortune shows that her fate is closely related to Dagu, and to develop in a good direction is to protect the country, and to develop in a bad direction is to curse the country. Over the years, I have also tried to find out more about her, but unfortunately they are all rumors of strange powers, and some people even say that her joys, sorrows, and sorrows will also affect the fortunes of the country. ”

"Funny? Such rumors treat her as a monster, what's funny? ”

Xi Xi looked at Xue Ying, who was puzzled, and said, "The emperor asked you about the Ganxiao Temple, and the purpose is probably to find out about her - the Empress Dowager has been dead for more than 20 years, and what she said seems to be becoming more and more weightless." ”

Xue Ying suddenly asked, "Why did you start to inquire about Master Mingtu's news back then?" Is it because of her relationship with Chuan Shuai? ”

Xi Xi shook his head: "It's because of Cai Qi." ”

Cai Qi? Not to mention the past, Xue Ying has almost forgotten this number one. The third young master of the Zhenguo Mansion was ordered by the emperor to be sent to the disaster area for disaster relief after the earthquake disaster, but after the initial completion of the task, he was hunted down and killed because he offended too many people, and it was Zhao Zhuangtou and Xi Xi who rescued him together.

"What does Cai Qiang have to do with Master Mingtu?"

"Do you remember that Cai Qiang was appointed suddenly, neither the court nor the people, including the emperor himself, knew of his existence before, but he became a candidate to be sent to the disaster area unexpectedly. At that time, the disaster was urgent, and even Cai Qiang himself hurriedly took office without having time to explore the cause. After the situation in the disaster area stabilized, he was hunted down, except for Jiuquan Beizhuang and me, who had nothing to do with this matter, no one was on his side, and it seemed that even the emperor acquiesced to let him die. He followed me with no other demands, the only condition was that I should find out who was the one who had pushed him to the forefront and had sent him to his death. Xi Xi raised the corner of his eye, "And you, I'm afraid you guessed that this matter had something to do with your master at that time, right?" ”

"Me? I had doubts, but there were too many mysteries, and there were no clues to connect them, so I didn't think about it at all. Then again, what does this matter have to do with Master Mingtu? ”

Xi Xi sneered: "It was your master who gave the emperor an order to give Cai Qiang the imperial sword to go to the disaster area to kill corrupt officials, open warehouses for grain relief, and stabilize the people's hearts." ”
