Chapter 111: Tracking
Min Yuan paused, and before he could speak, he saw his daughter smiling sweetly at her again, and said, "Thank you mother, why didn't my mother tell me what my mother did for me?"
Her heart warmed, patted her head, and said in a low voice: "Then Pei's didn't do anything arrogant, right?"
"No, how much is the mother of a house, I still know the severity. Yiying smiled and shook her head.
"I also want to slowly grind down the fighting spirit of the Zhao family, but now it seems that it is still too slow, and this dinner party should not give her the opportunity to participate. Min Yuan sighed, a little remorseful.
"Does Mother believe me?"
Min Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"When I met Mrs. Zhao, I had already reached an agreement, as long as she agreed to me on one condition, I would no longer embarrass the Zhao family, and I wanted to punish them in my own way. ”
When Min Yuan heard this, he was anxious: "How can one condition be enough? How much did you suffer a grievance in front of me at the beginning, I still remember it very clearly, how can you bypass that family so easily?"
"Mother......" She tugged at Minyuan's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Didn't you say you trusted me......?
Min Yuan glanced at her and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, if you need anything, just come and tell your mother." You little girl, you have a lot of ideas......"
Yiying grinned, chatting with her mother along the way, it was a rare time for this mother and daughter.
……
Zisheng walked through the entire Imperial Garden, but found nothing, so he walked out through the Moon Gate of the Imperial Garden, and continued to search carefully along the white jade stone road.
After walking for a while, he suddenly heard some movement, so he listened to the footsteps, dodged and hid behind a three-hug thick tree, observing the visitors.
Because it was almost winter, although it was only unitary at this time, it was already half the sky, and from Zisheng's perspective, he could only see a bright yellow figure, but his face was blurred.
She secretly thought that if she dressed like this on such a day, she would either be the emperor or the prince. Looking at the figure, it should be a young man, and that is the prince.
The bright yellow figure was followed by a large group of inner prison palace maids, but suddenly a woman appeared in the middle of the road, after saluting, as if to say something to the man, the man beckoned, and the eunuchs and palace maids automatically stayed away.
She was a little far away, unable to hear what they were saying, but trying to keep her eyes open to see if the woman was the one she was looking for.
After watching it for a while, I became more and more sure that my body shape, my demeanor when I spoke, and my faintly visible hairstyle were exactly the same as Yanhong's girl.
She suddenly felt a chill all over her body. Isn't it the first time that Yan Hong has entered the palace, how can she talk to the prince? What will she say when she sneaks to meet the prince at this time? Will it be detrimental to the eldest princess and the Xue family?
This is the palace, if the crown prince finds out that she is eavesdropping, will she not even be able to see the face of the eldest princess...... Not to mention supporting yourself...... The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was in danger, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back, but I accidentally stepped on half a dead branch, and suddenly let out a clicking sound.
She turned white, and saw that there seemed to be a movement over there, and a few little eunuchs came this way with lanterns, gritted their teeth, ran in the opposite direction from behind the tree, and flew away.
Li Mo looked in that direction and frowned, those eunuchs were about to chase after him, he waved his hand and said, "No need, it's so far away, you can't hear anything clearly and see it clearly." "Today is my father's birthday, it's not good to make any big mess, Chen He's incident in his father's heart has not been over, but he can't cause any more trouble for himself.
Yan Hong's face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes couldn't help but roll in her sockets because of fear. Who could it be? Who could it be behind the tree? Could it be someone from the house? Is it Zhaoqiu? She just wanted the prince to catch and deal with that person at the moment, but she didn't dare to give orders to him.
After all, the prince didn't seem to pay any attention to what she had just told the prince. How do you negotiate without bargaining chips? The man didn't teach her.
"Okay, you go back, tell him for Bengong that it's not that far yet, so let's take it slowly. Li Mo said a little impatiently, and before leaving, he leaned close to Yanhong's ear and smiled: "It's really good to be born, but it's a pity, I'm older." ”
Yan Hong didn't dare to move, until the group left one after another, and then she felt that the frozen blood in her body had returned to normal.
Did she count as having mastered a secret of the prince? Although she didn't find out, at least, she verified it.
Fortunately, the man didn't lie to her.
……
When the group of women arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the men were already seated in rank on the right side, first the prince, then the cabinet ministers, then the clan relatives, and finally the ordinary Beijing officials, and in addition to that, there were seven or eight empty seats at the very top.
The women took Min Yuan as their respect, and lined up from the left side in turn, Yi Ying was suspicious of the restraint of sitting in front of them, so they sat in the back position with Chun and a few others, not with Min Yuan.
Not long after, the emperor and queen mother Gao came in from outside the palace together, and naturally they sat down after a toss and salute.
The emperor glanced at everyone and frowned: "Hasn't the prince come yet?"
Queen Song hurriedly smiled: "It's on the way, and it won't be there in a while." ”
Empress Dowager Gao was obviously not very interested, she just glanced at the empty table and said, "Dongyi's envoys are also late. ”
Yi Ying was looking at Li Yun and Lian Jingqian, who was pressing the brim of the guard's hat low behind him.
She gave an inquiring look.
Li Yun picked up the wine glass without moving, put it down again, and smiled.
She relaxed slightly, but Lian Jingqian didn't know if she hadn't completely relieved herself, or if she was thinking about something else, so she never showed her face.
The saint was a little impatient, so he let the singer who had prepared early into the temple and began to dance.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Empress Song's face.
Before the singers could stand still, Zisheng quietly slipped through the corner door of the main hall to Yiying's side and patted her on the shoulder.
Yi Ying turned around for some reason, saw Zisheng's pale face, was stunned, handed her a cup of tea to stabilize her mind, and asked with her eyes if the matter was urgent.
Zisheng took a sip of water, hesitated for a while, and leaned over to say a few words in Yiying's ear.
On the other hand, Yi Zhen understands that everyone has their own private affairs, and she doesn't ask much, just pretending not to see some pastries and fruits.
Yiying's face gradually became unwavering, and finally she nodded and whispered a few words to Zisheng. Zisheng glanced at her with complicated eyes, and finally nodded in agreement.
