"This girl is sensible and measured, she is much stronger than Zhao Jiangxuan's girl, in fact, the mourning family has always disliked Zhao Jiangxuan's girl, that girl looks too much like your aunt and grandmother, especially those eyes, the mourning family will burp once they see her, if it weren't for you marrying her, the girl mourning family would just find a reason to dig out her eyes." The Empress Dowager said with some annoyance, "Jian Ye, if the mourning family says that it is possible that Li Yujin is still alive, and the one in the palace is not her, will you believe it?" ”

Jian Ye hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "The Queen Mother has always been smart and cautious, since you say this, there must be a reason, Jian Ye obeyed the orders of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and said gently: "The mourning family just likes your character, mature and steady, has a good heart, and is not publicized, and has an opinion on everything, but unfortunately you have refused to agree to the mourning family to get the supreme position in the world, and now the emperor is a waste, in addition to indulging in wine every day, or riding horses to hunt, and there is also talking and laughing with the ministers in the court, he has not done anything serious, and has been like this, if one day the mourning family is gone, the world will not be chaotic, what face does the mourning family have to meet the emperor?" ”

Jian Ye said respectfully: "The emperor has always listened to the words of the Queen Mother, you have been helping him, he is relying on him, he is your child, it will be better if he is older." ”

"Alas-" The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, sighed a long time, and was a little distracted, and then said slowly, "The things in the world are just a lie after a lie, and the mourning family hates people to deceive the mourning family the most, just like Li Yujin back then, the mourning family has always regarded her as an innocent and lovely sister, and even mediated her affairs with Cao Tianan for her, and persuaded her father and mother to agree to them being together, but she didn't expect that she wanted to talk to the mourning family about her under the pretext that she had nothing to do, and she came to the palace if she had nothing to do, and the mourning family only regarded her as close to the mourning family, But it turned out that he was just looking for an excuse to get close to the emperor, until the emperor sent Cao Tianan to the border to prevent him from coming back, and the mourning family understood that there was something in it, but unfortunately at that time, the emperor had already moved his mind to Li Yujin, and he wanted to keep her in the palace, she still had the flesh and blood of the emperor, and the mourning family almost died in the hands of the most beloved sister of the mourning family! ”

Jian Ye's face was calm, and he didn't speak, but only listened to the Queen Mother quietly, this was the first time that the Queen Mother mentioned Li Yujin and her old things to him, although some of the words added moisture.

"The mourning family heard a rumor, some people said that Li Yujin is still alive, the one in the palace is not Li Yujin himself, but her stand-in, although the mourning family can't say that they believe this rumor, but it is groundless, there are always some reasons for such rumors, and the mourning family wants you to find out what is going on." The Queen Mother looked at Jian Ye, and Jian Ye's silence and listening at this time made her feel very comfortable, "Also, the mourning family didn't want to care about Jiang Shiwei's escape from the prison, but now it seems that this matter still needs to be taken care of, otherwise, if he thinks that the mourning family is a good bully, he has other thoughts, hum, he is afraid of messing up state affairs, and it is really not the right time for Cao Tianan to die, if he is still alive, maybe he will know the whereabouts of Jiang Shiwei and Li Yujin, and he is the most infatuated with Li Yujin!" ”

Jian Ye nodded, and said in a respectful tone: "What the Queen Mother said is reasonable, whether it is true or not, you must check it carefully before you can draw a conclusion, since someone said that Li Yujin is still alive, Jian Ye thought, you might as well start from this person who sent out the news, since he or she spread the news, there must be a reason, or he wants to sensationalize, or he has inadvertently met his aunt and uncle Jiang Shiwei, or he has just heard others talk about it, but as long as he gets to the bottom of it, he will definitely be able to find out." ”

The Queen Mother frowned, hesitated, took the paper on the small table next to her and handed it to Jian Ye, "Someone put it on the top of the bed of the mourning family, look at Li Yujin on this painting, it should be what it is now, you take a closer look, remember it in your heart, if she is still alive outside, it must be like this." ”

Jian Ye took the paper handed to him by the Queen Mother, on it was the painting painted by Rong Qingyi, he was on the side, watching Rong Qingyi draw it with his own eyes, including the painting handed over to Li Yujin, but his expression deliberately showed a hint of surprise, and after looking at it for a while, he said: "Look at the truth of it, the woman on this painting is a little similar to the Queen Mother, I heard my mother say that you and the little aunt and grandmother's face is the most similar, back then, the reason why the little aunt and grandmother attracted the attention of the emperor was that it was similar to you but young face." And the clothes on this woman's body are indeed the styles that are popular in the capital at this time. Could it be—"

Jian Ye frowned, stopped, and did not continue.

"Maybe this Li Yujin is indeed as painted in the painting, and he is indeed alive, if according to what you said, the clothes worn by Li Yujin in this painting are a popular style in the capital, then that is to say, she may have been staying in the capital, if she has been staying in the capital, then-" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "It must be hiding in Cao Tian'an's mansion, it is really negligent to mourn the family, he resigned from the post of border pass, handed over the power in his hands, and returned to the capital to say that he wanted to recuperate in his old age, but I didn't expect that he had other purposes, if the mourning family did not guess wrong, He has never been in frequent contact with people in the capital, and he has not even befriended you King Jian's Mansion, the reason is simply because Li Yujin and Jiang Shiwei are hiding in his General's Mansion, and their family is happy to be at ease! ”

In the courtyard outside, the slave maid ordered by the Queen Mother accompanied Rong Qingyi along the bluestone path in the courtyard and walked slowly, occasionally stopping to look at the flowers and plants, at this time, the fragrance had changed into more formal clothes and decorations, accompanied by two slaves and maids and two little fathers-in-law, walked out of the gate of the palace of the Queen Mother, presumably according to the instructions of the Queen Mother, to go to King Jian's mansion to spread the decree.

When she saw Rong Qingyi, Fragrance nodded slightly as a hello, she was the personal slave next to the Queen Mother, with a special identity, although she was only a slave, Rong Qingyi was the master, and the master and servant were different, but she didn't have to make a big salute, she didn't have words, she didn't talk to Rong Qingyi, and she hurriedly took someone and walked away.

"That flower blooms so well." Rong Qingyi looked at the fragrance of leaving, and casually pointed to a flower and said, "You can smell the sweet fragrance of flowers from a distance." ”

"Lady Jane likes?" The slave immediately smiled and said, "The slave will take it off for you." ”

The slave who accompanied Rong Qingyi raised her hand to pinch the flower to Rong Qingyi, Rong Qingyi inadvertently saw a little father-in-law with clear eyebrows hurriedly coming from another road, and walked directly to Fenfang and his party, it seemed that the road was a little narrow, and he did not avoid it for a while, but he passed by Fragrant and collided dangerously, and the little father-in-law seemed to be out of subconscious action, and actually reached out and grabbed Fragrant Fang's arm.

"Look for death!" When the little father-in-law who followed the fragrance saw it, he immediately scolded and went to support the fragrance.

Fragrance stabilized her body, looked at the minions who rushed into her, waved her hand, and signaled that it was okay, "It's really not stable to do things, you are serving the emperor, how can you be so reckless, go back and slap your face ten times to show warning, not next time!" ”

"Thank you, Aunt Fen!" The little father-in-law immediately bent down and said respectfully, not daring to raise his head.

I don't know if Rong Qingyi was dazzled, or if there really was, at the moment when the two collided, she saw the little father-in-law quickly stuff something into Fragrance's hand, and Fragrance seemed to know that the other party was going to give her something, so she reached out and took it, without any sound, and couldn't see it from a distance, guessing that it was a very small folded piece of paper, and the four people who followed next to Fragrance didn't see it.

Watching Fenfang leave with four people, the little father-in-law stood on the side of the road until Fenfang and his party couldn't see it, then he lifted up, sighed quietly, stroked his chest, and walked back in the direction he came, not noticing Rong Qingyi, who was not far from him, and the slave who was picking flowers.

"Is that little father-in-law from the Queen Mother's courtyard?" Rong Qingyi pointed to the back of the little father-in-law who left, and asked in a casual tone.

The slave looked up and shook her head, "No, that's the little father-in-law in front of the emperor, everyone calls him the prince-in-law, although he is not very old, but he is very favored by the emperor, he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, he is a smart and cautious slave, sometimes he will come to the queen mother, instead of the emperor to report some things, even the queen mother also said that this prince Liu Gonggong is a smart and stable slave, and he is also handsome, and the people in the palace know that the emperor also requires the slaves who serve themselves to be better looking than ordinary people." ”

Speaking of this, the slave maid smiled slightly, as if she had something bad to say, handed the flower that had been picked in her hand to Rong Qingyi, and changed the topic, "Mrs. Jane, you see, this flower is really beautiful." ”

"Hmm." Rong Qingyi responded, and continued to walk slowly along the bluestone path with a calm expression.

The slave and maid continued to follow Rong Qingyi's side, slowly following, and no longer spoke.

After walking for a while, Rong Qingyi sat down on a stone bench on the side of the road, beat his legs, looked at the road ahead, and said with a smile: "I have only been walking for a while, I am a little tired, the sky is cloudy, although there is no rain, but the air is also tidal, this clothes are dyed a little wet, you go to get an umbrella, we go to the outside of the palace courtyard, and we don't go far, just outside the courtyard of the Queen Mother, I don't know when the Queen Mother and the Xianggong are going to talk about the business, and it is not good to always walk around in the courtyard, isn't it?" ”

"Yes." The slave and maid immediately said respectfully, "The slave and maid will go and get the umbrella, Madame Jane, you will wait." ”

If it was just a conversation for a while, Rong Qingyi walked around the courtyard until it was nothing, but it was almost half an hour, and I didn't see anyone inside coming out to call the two of them in, so it must be impossible to finish the conversation for a while, and if you turn around like this, it is inevitable that there will be people who pass by, or people who come to ask the Queen Mother about things, see it and feel puzzled, and have a guess.
