Chapter 64: You just knew
At night, although it is still a little stuffy, it is not as unbearable as in the daytime, ice cubes have been added to Yuchun Palace and Xiuying Pavilion, and Concubine Xi has had ice cubes sent by the Yuan family before, but I don't think it's anything, but this Xiuying Pavilion, Wu Zhaoyi doesn't have it here, but Ying Baolin, who is not as good as her, has ice cubes to cool off, and Wu Zhaoyi is naturally unhappy in her heart. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Fortunately, Kang Fushou, the inner warden, personally came to ask for An, saying that the purchase was originally made by Wu Zhaoyi, but the ice cubes in this folk ice kiln were almost obtained, and those big kilns were still waiting for the real summer to come and open again, and the minions walked around to buy these, but they had already set an ice cellar to open the kiln tomorrow, and the ice could be sent tomorrow.
Kang Fushou is also a proper worker, since he promised something, there is nothing that he will regret, but Mu Chengxin, the heat is uncomfortable, originally wanted to come to his mother to rub some ice cubes to cool off, but now he didn't, so he had to let the palace maid keep fanning with a fan, and couldn't help complaining: "I knew that I would stay in Fangyuan for a while longer, Prince Su brought down the clear spring water on the mountain, and it was very cool." ”
Fangyuan is really the Zhuangzi of Prince Su's capital suburbs, Wu Zhaoyi just glanced at her fiercely when she heard it, and said: "Let you go with Mu Chengyao to let you inquire about the situation, but as a result, I don't know what I asked, I don't know anything, I just know that Prince Su's garden is cool and the lychees are delicious." After that, looking at the lychee specially sent by Mu Chengxin on the table, he pushed the fruit plate away angrily, "It's really useless." ”
Mu Chengxin lowered her head, although she didn't know why her mother hated Concubine Xi so much, but she had been invigilated in Guozi before thanks to Mu Chengyao, she didn't dare to disobey her mother's will, but she didn't dare to do too badly in the exam, otherwise her mother would be even more angry, so she could only make friends with Mu Chengyao behind her back, so as to get the exam questions, although this last examination period has passed, but she has done so many bad things for Mu Chengyao before, so many handles are in Mu Chengyao's hands, she is really in a dilemma.
Wu Zhaoyi saw that Mu Chengxin stopped talking, and she was angry, but after a while, the anger in her heart faded, and she said lightly: "How is Simin and Prince Su recently?"
Mu Chengxin sighed and said: "It's not the same as before, my cousin likes the prince wholeheartedly, but the prince doesn't even pay much attention to it." ”
Wu Zhaoyi shook her head when she heard this, "Simin, this kid is just too ignorant, even if she likes Prince Su no matter how much she likes, but her brother has already asked her to restrain herself at the banquet, and she doesn't listen, she pounces on Prince Su with all her thoughts, and now she has become the laughing stock of the whole capital, in the future, don't follow your cousin's example, and go against your parents everywhere, after all, the mother concubine is from the past, and what I chose for you is naturally the best." ”
After Wu Zhaoyi finished speaking, he thought of Li Su, the British prince who he valued before, and he was a little panicked in his heart, he had been in contact with the British duchess for a long time, and he had a lot of relationships, who expected that this Li Su would ask the eldest princess in public at the banquet, and the eldest princess didn't nod her head, but the eldest princess also fell in love with Li Su, her daughter is not a particularly pleasing character, and the person that the eldest princess likes naturally has no share of her own daughter.
"What about the sons I asked you to pay more attention to?" Wu Zhaoyi was talking about a thick booklet that Mu Chengxin had sorted out for her before she went to the banquet.
Mu Chengxin lowered his head, and before he could speak, Wu Zhaoyi knew that there was no good result, so he just waved his hand and said: "That's it, the mother concubine will choose for you again, since you can't look down on those people, you can't help those people much." ”
Mu Chengxin's eyebrows lit up when he heard this, and he echoed: "That is, especially Cui Rong, the nephew of Cui Shangshu on that booklet, acts simply debauchery, and he can't take his eyes off when he sees that the fifth emperor sister is good-looking." ”
Wu Zhaoyi seemed to have captured some very important information, and she said with a light eyebrow: "So, is this Cui family son interested in the fifth princess?"
Mu Chengxin nodded, and shook his head again: "What do you mean by intentionality, Cui Rong's family has nine rooms in the concubine room alone, it's nothing more than looking at the five emperor sisters who look good, whether you really marry home is one thing, even if you marry home, I'm afraid you will get tired of it in a few days." ”
A smug smile gradually bloomed on Wu Zhaoyi's face, she put away her joy slightly, and said, "What about the third son of the Qi family?"
Among Wu Zhaoyi's twelve alternative sons-in-law, Qi Xuan is the first, if it weren't for Qi Xuan's weak body, he would definitely be Wu Zhaoyi's son-in-law's first choice, but fortunately, he is talented and has good conduct.
At the mention of Qi Xuan, Mu Chengxin's face turned red suddenly, but he lowered his head, kept rubbing the handkerchief in his hand, and said in a low voice: "The third prince of Qi is unwell, so he didn't go." ”
I'm not feeling well, I'm not feeling well, hey, it's all good, but it's a pity that it's a medicine jar, it's a pity.
On the same night, compared to the sultry heat in the palace, the Fangyuan on the outskirts of Beijing was full of a biting chill, Mu Qinyi sat in the empty courtyard outside the study, surrounded by nightshade, in this quiet and uninhabited night, it seemed that only the flower box dared to approach this person who exuded a cold and angry atmosphere.
There is only one lantern lit in the courtyard, and the heat generated by the burning candle inside makes the flower pattern on the outer circle turn quietly in a circle.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Mu Qinyi, it was Luo Ping, Luo Ping said with his hand: "Lord Wang, everything has been dealt with." ”
Mu Qinyi closed his eyes slightly, and just said "um" softly.
Luo Ping continued: " The copper pipe drained in the prince's study is indeed connected to Qingxi, but I don't know when, someone led a branch, all the way to the underground, and underground, there is a special chamber through the copper pipe to transmit sound, has been secretly monitoring the movement of the prince, when the last general will take people to go, the people in the small room have been gone, according to the traces left, it should have been gone for about half a month, however, there are still a lot of booklets in the small room that have not been taken away, and the records are all the movements of the prince who came to live in Fangyuan a while ago, and ...... And what is said in the study. ”
Mu Qinyi opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, although his eyes were shallow, but the hand rubbing the armrest of the wheelchair poured out his anger without a trace, at first he didn't think of this layer of copper pipe, but he just felt that he asked Song Ning to go to Lingnan to see off Mama Lu asked himself if he did a good job, Song Ning is definitely not a person, and he will not leave clues on the road if he wants to, but Mu Yuanan still knows about the matter of sending people to Lingnan, if it weren't for the ghosts in his own people, Mu Qinyi couldn't think of any other reason at first.
It's a pity that he has been secretly investigating for so long, not to mention the ghosts, the shadow guard that Mu Qinyi is carrying with him now, and the dragon and tiger rider who went to Lingnan to pick lychees before, are all loyal people, until Mu Chenghuang unintentionally said that this copper pipe can communicate and talk to each other, can it also be eavesdropped, so that he suddenly woke up.
In order to enjoy the coolness, there are copper pipes everywhere in the Fang Garden to lead the water of the spring, so that the cool and piercing spring water flows throughout the courtyard, and in winter, it is to lead the hot spring water to warm the whole courtyard, even Mu Qinyi's study is no exception, the copper pipes ...... , which turned out to be copper pipes.
Luo Pingyu lowered his head with his hands, still waiting for Mu Qinyi's meaning.
Mu Qinyi's eyes were melodious, as if he was looking far, far away, who could take one under the brass pipe in his study and use it to eavesdrop, who else would there be besides the current emperor Mu Yuanan?
Fortunately, most of the confidential arrangements, before he came to Fangyuan, he was dealt with in Prince Su's mansion, Prince Su's mansion was given to him by the emperor, therefore, it was not so easy to do it, in this Fangyuan, he came purely in a relaxed mood, in the study, mentioning the matter of Lingnan, but also just asked, when will the person who went to Lingnan to do business come back, it is this sentence, leaking the heavenly opportunity.
However, Luo Ping said that the person has been gone for half a month, and it seems that it was Mu Yuanan who relieved himself and withdrew the person, since the person is gone, then he is not polite.
Mu Qinyi opened his mouth slightly, the corners of his lips didn't seem to move, but the words had already overflowed coldly: "Where is the area around the underground room?"
Luo Ping said: "It is a tributary of Qingxi Garden. ”
"Good, good. Mu Qinyi said, "Then I said, I will expand an artificial lake, dig all the surroundings of the small room, and fill the lake with water, in the future, even if someone wants to enter it, it will be impossible to enter." ”
Luo Ping replied, and asked again: "What about the things found in the small room?"
"It's all burned," Mu Qinyi didn't raise his eyelids, "Isn't it all about recording some of the whereabouts of this king and what he said in the study? This king knows very well what he is doing every day, and he doesn't need those things written on paper to remind me." ”
Luo Ping was about to nod his head in response, when suddenly a resentful sigh came from the corner gate: "Does the prince really know what he is doing every day?"
Luo Ping raised his head vigilantly, and his hand was already holding the saber at his waist, but he saw Song Ning, who was wearing an ink-colored robe, coming from the corner gate, followed by a panting quail, and the quail knelt down and said: "The little one knows that the prince said that it will disturb people, but Dr. Zhou is holding a dagger in his hand to force the small one, saying that if the little one dares to stop him, he will die in front of the little one, and the little one ......." ”
"Come down. Mu Qinyi was not frightened, "If I really don't allow him to come in, how can I let you guard it alone." Fu looked at Song Ning and said, "I will definitely send seventeen or eighteen shadow guards to guard it, some people will enter the park, no matter how killed, I know you will come, but you use a dagger to scare the quail, this trick is too obscene, who did you learn it from? ”
Mu Qinyi said as he waved his hand to let Luo Ping go down, Song Ning and Luo Ping, one is good at strategy, it is his second brain, and the other is superb in martial arts, it is his second hand holding the sword, but now, he doesn't want the two to be too familiar.
Song Ning only threw the dagger in his hand, and then said, "When I went back yesterday, I was followed by the people of the fifth princess. ”
