Chapter Seventy-One: Discovery
When there was an uproar in the court, the small bamboo house of the Marquis of Changxin Mansion also officially completed its mission. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lian Jingqian sat on the dusty desk, holding a bright yellow fold, and his face could not hide his excitement.
In this secret room, all the heavy bamboo slips are contained, but this fold is carefully placed in the secret compartment of another mechanism.
Even Jing Qian had been looking for a long time before and hadn't found it, and it was also providence, and when he rummaged around again last night, he accidentally pushed the Duobaoge in the center of the room, and then he found the mechanism hidden underneath.
On this bright yellow fold is written the six big characters "Jingning Dinner Notes", which is the only clue that Lian Jingqian has been looking for for a long time, and can know what happened back then.
He took a deep breath, and after a while, opened it with trembling hands. Reading patiently word by word, the excitement on Lian Jingqian's face gradually disappeared, replaced by indescribable anger and grief.
Ridiculous!
Even though he thought that the old incident must be very unbearable, he didn't expect it to be so unbearable. The dignified general who protects the country was unexpectedly labeled as collaborating with the enemy and treason for such a ridiculous reason, with the intention of rebellion.
He closed the fold, and his right hand couldn't help but exert force, almost crushing it. After a while, his expression returned to normal.
After carefully tucking the fold into his sleeve, he got up and left the secret room.
Walking out of the bamboo house, the surroundings are still inaccessible. The weather was very good, the breeze was gentle, and the yellowish bamboo leaves were rustling, but he lost interest in enjoying the scenery, glanced at the slaves who were faintly visible outside the bamboo forest, pursed his lips, and turned over and left the Changxin Marquis Mansion.
……
Soon after the dispersal of the dynasty, the news was obtained from Guanghuali.
"Really, the emperor has already ordered people to arrest Chen He?" Yiying was very surprised. I didn't expect Li Yun to act so quickly, the two of them left for Hanyang yesterday, and today they actually lifted Chen He's old bottom......
"Back to the county lord, it's true, the emperor also ordered people to thoroughly check the eternal ticket numbers of Lord Huang Zheng and the crown prince. Qin Cheng, the little guy who came to report the news, replied respectfully.
Yi Ying nodded, and instructed Half Moon to show that Qin Cheng a reward. Qin Cheng got the silver and left happily.
This Qin Cheng is doing things in the department, Yi Ying has met him once before, and seeing that he is clever and sensible, he specially asked Xiao's mother his details, and after knowing that his mother was a loyal servant by his mother's side, he asked him to pass on the news to Mu Xiting every time he heard something.
Min Yuan naturally knew about this, and he was happy to stand up, and secretly instructed Qin Cheng to help Yi Ying do his best. That Qin Cheng was a clever ghost, he understood the weight of the county lord in the eldest princess's heart, and he was happy to take the reward, and he ran to Mu Xiting's side very actively.
"Come with me to my mother's. Yiying stood up and said to Half Moon.
Yan Hong stepped forward with a smile: "County Lord, why don't you let the slave and maid accompany you, Sister Half Moon is in charge of the things up and down this courtyard, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." ”
Half Moon was a little surprised, but she wasn't angry. Not only is the young lady and young master in the house competing for favor in front of the master's mother, but the competition between the subordinates is often the master's favor and reuse, the four big girls should have been on an equal footing, and there is nothing wrong with Yan Hong's move, besides, she does have a lot of things to do.
Yi Ying thought about things in her heart and didn't care much about it, but just subconsciously shouted for half a month, and nodded: "Okay, let's go." ”
Yan Hong lowered her eyes and smiled, and followed.
The rest of the people also went to their own things, only Zhaoqiu, who frowned almost invisibly and glanced at Yanhong's back.
When I got to the outside of the upper room, I heard Min Yuan talking to people with a smile, obviously in a good mood.
Yi Ying lifted the curtain and went in, and saw Yi Chen and Min Yuan sitting on both sides of the kang table and chatting.
Seeing her coming, Yi Chen hurriedly stood up: "Second sister, come and sit." He gestured to her place.
Yiying smiled, saluted Min Yuan, and sat on the Nanmu chair at the bottom of the head absentmindedly: "No need, everything is important to come first and come first, that is my sister's position, and my sister is sitting in a good life." I sighed in my heart, my mother had affirmed her position from the beginning, why did she have to behave so deferently to herself in front of her mother, it was boring in vain.
Yi Chen's face froze, and he sat down silently.
Min Yuan took in the performance of the two sisters, and secretly shook his head, after returning from the Zhang family, the two of them had never met again except for coming to say goodbye to themselves, in the end, it hurt their feelings. Speaking of which, Sister Chen is also too sensitive, she thinks that she has never treated her badly, she has to get along with herself, how can others help her?
"Mother, have you heard about today's court incident?" Yi Ying said with a smile, not letting the atmosphere continue to stalemate.
Min Yuan was also relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I heard, in this way, your father can return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”
Yi Chen listened to it beside him, feeling a little uncomfortable. She happened to be chatting with Min Yuan here before she heard the news, Zhao Yuan was able to know so quickly, did she have her own people in the outer courtyard? She forgot, but she didn't dare to mention this matter to Min Yuan because she was afraid of her biological mother's thoughts, not because she was not partial.
Yiying smiled and shook her head: "Not necessarily. Daddy's main purpose here is to appease the people and check the condition of the dam, but I am afraid that he will have to stay a few more days. ”
Min Yuan nodded: "That's right." He became worried again: "Forget it, I'm afraid that I haven't arrived in Hanyang yet, and I don't know if Chen He will be unfavorable to your father if he gets the news." ”
"Mother doesn't have to worry, isn't there a big inner guard with her?" Yi Chen said with a smile, she didn't know much about political affairs, but she knew something about it.
"That's right, but you still have to wait for Chen He to be captured before you can rest assured. ”
The mother and daughter gossiped for a while, and when they left, Min Yuan took out a few thick cloaks made of brocade that they had appreciated from the palace, and the style was very exquisite. Yi Ying picked a lake blue one, and Yi Chen chose a brown one with white spots, and said goodbye together.
"Sister is going to go hunting ground to ride a horse in five days?" Yiying saw that the atmosphere was dull, and took the initiative to find a word. It's about the hunting ground of the prince of Dejun that Sister Zhen mentioned.
Yi Chen thought for a while: "Can you bring Sister Xuan and her brother and sister with you then?"
"It doesn't matter, Sister Zhen is a person who likes to be lively, so naturally the more people, the better. She understands her concerns, so even if she doesn't like her behavior at times, she can tolerate it.
"Since this is the case, it is natural to cheer for Sister Zhen'er. Yi Chen smiled sweetly, and there were many worries in his eyebrows.
