Just as I looked up at him, he was also looking up at me, and as soon as the eyes of the two people met, I subconsciously wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth before me.

But it wasn't for me.

"Lord Nangong, what do you think?"

Nangong Jinhong on the side also seemed to be pressed by such an atmosphere, and when he was suddenly called by his name, he was a little uneasy, and looked at him cautiously: "This-"

"Say whatever you think."

"Old minister—"

Although Pei Yuanhao said that, the emperor's expressionless appearance now is still a little unpredictable, Nangong Jinhong also seemed very cautious, hesitated for a while, and then said softly: "This letter, the old minister is inconvenient to say anything, after all, nothing is clearly written on this letter, if you assert it, it is unfair to innocent people, and it is also unfair to Miss Yan." ”

I looked at him with some amusement.

In a word, I was actually removed from the "innocent".

"But—"

Sure enough, he changed his words, and suddenly, all the people in this room held their breath, waiting for his next sentence.

Nangong Jinhong hesitated for a moment before he said slowly: "The old minister remembered that the emperor just asked Miss Yan about what academy ......?"

Pei Yuanhao said: "Xishan Academy? ”

"Yes, Lao Chen has heard of this academy for a long time, there are many strange people, and it is a very famous place in Shu to talk about learning and Taoism."

“……”

"I heard that Master Fu was also born in Xishan Academy?"

As soon as I heard this, I immediately said: "Elder Fu used to give lectures there, but before entering the palace, he had been cultivating in the Red Leaf Temple for several years, and he had already left there. ”

Nangong Jinhong smiled and said, "That's it." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Because Lao Chen remembered that a few years ago, there was a big fuss about the examination room by candidates in Yangzhou, and I heard that it had a lot to do with the students of Xishan Academy."

As soon as I heard this, Pei Yuanhao's faces and I changed.

Of course, I won't forget this matter, and I don't think he will forget it, because he was in Yangzhou at that time, and he personally handled this matter. At that time, I had not yet recovered my memory, and he almost let those officers and soldiers do something to the students, but it was only under my persuasion that he gave up the practice of adding swords and soldiers, and it was time to appease them, and finally suppressed the matter.

Although the matter was dealt with, I knew that his good impression of Yangzhou students was gone, and naturally he hated those students of Xishan Academy even more.

And that time, the reason why the students of Xishan Academy would provoke such a big trouble was because someone from the Yan family went to the academy to give a lecture, and then gave the students their spring break because of the spring, which caused a situation like Yangzhou.

At the thought of this, my brow furrowed again.

It seems that I still underestimated Nangong Jinhong.

This letter, I think it is also his handwriting, and it is the same as what he said at the moment, if you want to testify, he has no one to testify, but just by using the words that Pei Yuanhao asked me just now, he led out of Xishan Academy, pulled out of the Yan family, and then looked back at my identity as the eldest lady of the Yan family - even if it is me, I can't help but doubt myself.

Sure enough, Pei Yuanhao's eyes became colder and colder.

Nangong Jinhong continued: "The old minister also heard that in addition to studying, the students of Xishan Academy also have to practice swordsmanship and riding and archery on weekdays. ”

"Confucianism?" Pei Yuanhao repeated these two words, and said coldly: "Chivalry is not forbidden, Confucianism is chaotic!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Jinhong seemed to be frightened, hurriedly squeezed the "life-saving" book in his hand, took a step back, leaned over and didn't dare to get up.

And Su Su and Mama Wu, who had been standing behind, although they couldn't understand what Nangong Jinhong was saying, but when they heard Pei Yuanhao's cold words, the two of them also seemed to feel something, looked at me worriedly, and subconsciously wanted to go to my side, but I raised my head and stopped them with a look.

I stared at them and told them to stand still.

At this time, Chang Qing stepped forward: "Your Majesty ......"

Her voice was very soft, and it sounded just after the conversation between the gentlemen and the ministers that struck each other with steel knives, and it was even more gentle, but it inexplicably made people feel a strangeness, she walked to Pei Yuanhao's side and said softly: "Then this letter-"

Pei Yuanhao didn't speak, put the folded letter back into the envelope, and then said coldly: "This matter is not allowed to spread, all the people, take care of your mouths!" ”

As soon as his words came out, all the people around him knelt down: "Yes!" ”

He looked up at me again.

I watched him quietly.

If the matter is not allowed to get out, then the punishment for me is-

At this time, Pei Yuanhao had already stood up and said to Chang Qing: "From today onwards, this courtyard will be sealed and no one will be allowed to come in...... No one is allowed to go out either. ”

When Chang Qing heard this, she suddenly seemed to be taken aback: "Huh? ”

"Ah what? Didn't you hear me?! ”

"No, the concubines don't dare. The concubines obeyed. ”

When Nangong Jinhong heard his arrangement, he didn't know whether he was satisfied or palpitated, and he was relieved after all, but he immediately said again: "Your Majesty, the princess of that wonderful word ......"

I suddenly got nervous.

Although Pei Yuanhao did not directly punish me, but locked this courtyard and locked me here, he should have wanted to suppress this matter temporarily, what about the wonderful words? If she really thinks of me as a sinner, of course the princess can't stay with a sinner.

Could it be that Nangong Jinhong still wants to take Miao Yan away?

I was immediately furious, glaring at him hatefully, Pei Yuanhao was silent for a while, and also looked back at me, and then looked at the closed door of the inner room, Miao Yan was still sleeping inside, and he didn't know about the almost earth-shaking changes outside, he said: "The princess's illness has not been cured yet, don't disturb her." Just for the time being—"

Everyone was staring at him.

"Stay here for now."

I was immediately relieved.

Nangong Jinhong seemed to be a little hesitant: "Your Majesty, since you want to close this small courtyard, then Her Royal Highness the Princess-"

Pei Yuanhao had already ignored him, and turned to Chang Qing and said, "The supply should remain the same." If I know what they are short of, I will only ask. ”

Chang Qing lowered her head: "Yes." The concubine knew. ”

After speaking, Pei Yuanhao turned around and walked out.

Nangong Jinhong was obviously still a little dazed, he squeezed the book in his hand tightly, hurriedly took two steps to chase behind Pei Yuanhao, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the news is going to be blocked, but this matter-"

As he spoke, he looked meaningfully at the letter in Pei Yuanhao's hand.

Pei Yuanhao stopped and glanced back at him.

Nangong Jinhong leaned over and said: "It is a matter of the safety of the imperial court and the importance of the society, and I also ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation of this matter, and it is also for the deceased...... Seek justice. ”

The dead?

As soon as I heard this, I immediately frowned, and when Nangong Jinhong himself said the last few words, his voice trembled, and Pei Yuanhao looked at him with a frown: "The Qing family ......"

Nangong Jinhong knelt down in front of him, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has long suspected that Xichuan's traitor is plotting against him, before, Xueyi was killed, the old minister has always suspected that it was Xichuan's people, but because of the lack of evidence, the old minister has a grievance, and when I saw this letter today, the old minister couldn't help but think of my hard-working nephew......"

As he spoke, he began to cry.

Pei Yuanhao looked down at him, and seemed to be a little at a loss for a while, and after a while, he slowly leaned down to help him: "Aiqing, you get up first." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor to be the master of learning righteousness!"

……

I stood beside me, still silent, but my brow was already twisted into a pimple.

Now, I have known that this bureau has been set up for a long time, but I don't know how much effort Nangong Jinhong has put into this bureau - from every word he says now, I can feel like a steel knife inserted into the side he wants to deal with. From beginning to end, not a single word was addressed to me, and he did not make a fuss about this letter until the emperor took a stand; After the emperor sealed off my courtyard, that is, as soon as he made a slight statement, he immediately began to make a fuss about Qu Xueyi's death.

On the surface, he is not a political enemy against himself at all, or an enemy of his daughter, but just wants to seek justice for the death of Qu Xueyi, the court official, and his nephew.

I think this incident happens to be a hurdle that Pei Yuanhao has been unable to get over in his heart.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao finally helped him up from the ground, Nangong Jinhong was already crying so much that he couldn't cry, Pei Yuanhao patted his arm and said slowly: "This matter, of course I want to investigate, why is Aiqing so anxious?" ”

Nangong Jinhong looked up at him: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do-"

Pei Yuanhao said slowly: "Aiqing's words just now also reminded me. ”

"Old minister? What did the old minister say? ”

"Aiqing just asked me about Xishan Academy, and I just remembered," he said, looking back at me, "You said before, who is the person who sent the letter?" ”

I said calmly: "The people of Xishan Academy. ”

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "That, isn't it just right?" ”

Nangong Jinhong suddenly understood something, and looked at him with wide eyes: "This-"

Pei Yuanhao had already turned around and ordered: "Immediately send a team of Imperial Forest Army to Tongquetai, block Liu's Mansion, and control all the people in the mansion!" ”

My heart jumped like a drum.

Pei Yuanhao walked out and said, "I, I want to interrogate that student of Xishan Academy!" ”

The expression on Nangong Jinhong's face also changed, but he didn't slack off at this time, and immediately followed Pei Yuanhao out, and all the people walked out, leaving only me and Su Su, and Mama Wu still in the house.

The last one to go out was Chang Qing.

She stood in the doorway and glanced back at me.

I don't know if it's because of the weather, or because of the mood at the moment, her face looks very gloomy, and the look at me is full of gloom.

I suddenly remembered that the qiē that had just happened, whether we were arguing or confronting each other, from beginning to end, Chang Qing seemed to be out of the matter, and did not say a word.

Just as my heart was beating like thunder and I looked up at her, the little eunuchs on both sides stretched out their hands and slowly pulled the door in front of me through, slammed it, and slammed it shut.
