Chapter 109 Gradually leaving the dark feeling that the emperor's heart is dark, and the fake shadow sends gifts to explore the truth
109
Speaking of 'fake Shuying', it was a long time, Xu Shuying didn't believe that her sister couldn't see it, although she had just complained about Xu Shutong being pulled down by Xue Yinong's IQ.
Xue Yinong said: "We already know about her, but she must have a purpose in pretending, and Shutong means to put a long line to catch a big fish, don't be alarmed first, and see what she wants to do next." After all, the person who came was not good, and with her, we can also know what the people in the dark want to do. β
"Since you all know, then I won't pursue it, but for the matter of someone impersonating me, I want to investigate to the end, I hope you can give me a chance, let me also participate in it, and destroy those ghosts one by one. There is one more thing to sue Sister SΓΉ. I've seen this fake shadow, in the Flying Crane Tower, she talked to a man, although I don't know what she said, but I am a little familiar with that man. β
Xu Shutong said: "Oh? Who is it? β
"Sister, do you remember that Xu staff member who lives next door to my house? His father used to be a staff member in the general's mansion, and after he passed away, his father sympathized with their brothers and sisters, so he gave them the house next door to live in, and his sister's name was Xu Muran. β
Xu Shutong's mind was blank, Xu Shuying looked at her dazed appearance and knew that she didn't remember anything, and didn't forget to mock her, "Of course, sister is a noble person who forgets things, you think about dressing up stinky and beautiful all day long, hooking up with three and four, where will you notice these when you have time." β
Xu Shutong protested: "I'm not. Xu Shuying threw her a 'you are' look, Xu Shutong was angry, very aggrieved, her head leaned on Xue Yinong's body, now only Xue Yinong will believe her, she is a virtuous and virtuous person, those things are all young and ignorant in her past, and they can't be counted. As soon as her sister came, she turned over the old accounts, which was to repay her for bullying her back then.
It's really a turn of love, and it will soon come to itself. Whining.
Xue Yinong said: "Shutong, you let the sister-in-law say it, make it clear." β
Xu Shuying threw Xue Yinong an appreciative look, Xue Yinong was flattered, and quickly turned her face away, she complained like this in front of everyone just now, she still remembered it!
"Back then, my Xu family was full of beheadings, and my sister and I escaped, but the Xu staff brothers and sisters died early in the morning! How could it appear again, I was wondering if I was mistaken, about this, I have to ask the fourth brother who is gradually leaving to help check, that person is now in Shangshu Mansion. She resolutely refused to admit that Xue Yinong was her brother-in-law, and did not forget to keep her distance at any time.
"There's no problem with this, it's on me."
"Alright, I'm done. In order not to run into imposters, I plan to leave early. β
Xu Shutong asked, "Where are you going?" Do you have a place to live? β
"I just came to the capital, and I haven't had time to buy it yet, so I plan to settle down in the inn first."
Xue Yan, who had been silent, left his mouth, "Why don't you go back to the house with me, my family is very big and can accommodate you." β
But this opinion was firmly rejected by Xue Yinong, "No, you don't know the situation in the palace yet, it's not necessarily simpler than in the palace, my father has already accepted a lot of concubines, and many of these concubines are sent by our enemies to go undercover, don't you take the liberty of bringing Shuying over, don't you put her in danger." β
Xue gradually stuck out his tongue, and then came to his senses, Huo stood up suddenly, "What did you say?" The father has a concubine, what should the queen mother do? She walked around the house anxiously, as if she was trying to find a solution to the problem.
Xue Yinong sneered: "What's more, we already have seven younger brothers, and they are all other people's children, now my father is bitter and can't say it, even if I want to throw those people away, it's not so easy, they are like bloodsucking worms, sucking blood on my father's body." β
"Damn! Bastard! I really can't imagine that my father is so old, and he is pregnant again, he is really unseemly, the sea is immeasurable, where did he put his mother. β
Xue Wanli's criticism is cold enough. What she didn't understand the most was why Xue Yinong knew this but didn't remind his old father, and let him bully his mother like this.
"Don't you understand, if a person wants to abandon the person who is deeply affectionate to him, then it means that he has been ruthless to the point that words can not move him, and he himself doesn't know how good the queen mother is to him? But he still insists on doing this, that is his own choice, even if I take care of it, can I guarantee that things will go in a good direction? β
"Then you can't sit back and wait for the development of the situation, now what face does my father have to face others."
"That's all his own choice, isn't it? If he hadn't had the intention of taking a concubine from the beginning, no matter how bad things were, they wouldn't have happened to him. β
Xue Yanli was very dissatisfied with Xue Yinong's 'ruthlessness', her blood was nowhere to be thrown, nowhere to vent, she only felt that the palace was not a good place, it was too cold. It's ten or a hundred times colder than this season.
Xue gradually stopped talking, and Xue Yinong did not continue to explain, she was very envious of Xue Yanli's simplicity, because such people are rare in the palace.
Xu Shuying saw that their brother and sister were arguing, and it involved other people's family affairs, so it was difficult to listen to it anymore, so she stood up and said, "It's not too early, I should go." β
Xu Shutong grabbed her, "You don't have a place to live yet." She thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you live in the small courtyard where I used to live, not far from the palace, so that we can communicate with each other." And that place is also close to the Sujin Imperial Palace, if you want to find the fifth princess, it is also easy. The most important thing is that the people there are ready-made, and they are all hand-selected by me, so you don't have to worry about anything after you go to live, how about it? β
Having this place is of course better than a guest house.
She said, "Okay." Alright, it's time for me to go. Drifting away from you? β
Xue gradually left and wanted to go back first, go back to the house to understand the situation, and see his parents. She said: "I'll go out of the palace with you, and I'm familiar with the road here." β
Xue Yinong and Xu Shutong sent the two out of the Splendid Palace, and Xue Yinong repeatedly instructed Xue to leave, "Father and Queen Mother have always been talking about you, in the days when you are away, your father is sick, after you go back, no matter what he says, don't make him angry, if there is any difficulty, mention it to the imperial brother." β
Xue gradually nodded weakly, she only felt that this imperial brother was too frightening.
Xu Shutong also asked Cun Xi to send Xu Shuying, "Cun Xi, take Shuying to the place where we once lived, you should know how to do it." β
Cun Xi replied: "Niangniang, the slave knows. β
Seeing that the backs of the three of them had become a small black dot, Xue Yinong and Xu Shutong turned around and entered the house.
Cun Xi took the two of them around the palace, and Xue gradually lowered his head and did not say a word. There are dozens of palace maids and eunuchs opposite, quite like a guard of honor, and Xu Muran is sitting on the sedan chair, she has returned from the Sujin Imperial Palace.
When the three of them saw her, they stepped aside, bowed their heads and waited respectfully for her to pass. Xu Muran saw Xue and Xu dressed as heroes on the sedan chair, as if he remembered something, and he was uneasy in his heart, and he didn't dare to look back until they had gone far away.
The two people seemed to be in the Flying Crane Tower just now, and they were now in the palace, could it be someone sent by the emperor to spy on her?
Xu Muran was very scared in her heart, afraid that people would already know about her and her brother, and the emperor would find her brother and King Gong again.
After coming back, he didn't immediately go to see Xue Yinong and Xu Shutong, but asked the people around him, "Who came to the palace to see the emperor just now?" β
The palace maids were all arranged by Xue Yinong, and they all said they didn't know. Xu Muran had no choice but to ask others, although these people were all arranged by Xue Yinong, there were always those who could be bought.
But those are very peripheral people, Xu Muran asked, "Do you know who has come to see the emperor?" I'm talking about two women, one in black and one in white. β
Some people have also seen it: "Yes, it is gradually returning from the princess, and the slave maid heard the news of someone." β
"What about the other one?"
"I don't know, it's probably a friend who is gradually leaving the princess, they came together, and no one has ever seen her face, maybe because he is too ugly to be seen."
It's Xue gradually leaving! I see! She's back.
Xu Muran thought that this might just be a coincidence, and went back to the house to take out the gifts for Xue Yinong and Xu Shutong, and let people hold them and send them to the main house.
Luo Yan reported: "Princess Shuying asks to see." β
Xue Yinong and Xu Shutong were discussing Xu Shuying, and when they heard that the imposter was back, the two had a tacit understanding to shut up, and Xue Yinong smiled and said, "Let her in." After Xu Muran came in, he saw Bi. Xue Yinong asked her, "Are you happy to go shopping today?" How's the catch? β
"Fortunately, there are not many people on the street, I bought some things for the emperor and my sister." To the people behind him, "Present it." "What I gave to Xue Yinong was a set of 'Four Treasures of the Study', "I saw that the emperor's brushes were bald, so I bought a set from Wenxuanfang." β
Xue Yinong finished reading it and said, "Thank you, thank you, I am planning to let people replace me, you can be described as coming at the right time." β
Xu Muran explained: "My sister has nothing to do in the palace, and my sister thought that instead of buying something that didn't apply, it would be better to buy some small gifts for my unborn nephew." Xu Shutong picked up a drum and shook it from side to side.
smiled: "I have a heart, these little dragonflies, little bamboo horses are really cute." β
"It's good if my sister likes it. By the way, when I came back, I saw that the girl sent two people out of the palace, I didn't know at first, but when I came back and asked, I found out that it was gradually leaving the princess to come back, I didn't salute her, I don't know if she will blame me. While secretly observing the faces of Xue Yinong and Xu Shutong, he was relieved to see that they were not any different.
Xue Yinong said: "You're welcome, how can she blame you!" She's here another day, and I'll let her see you. Also let her learn what is called 'everyone's girlfriend', the province runs around all day long, so that the father and the queen mother have a headache, and by the way, their brains also hurt, this time I am crazy outside, I am back for the New Year, I want to come, and when I see my parents, she will come again in a few days, and then you don't dislike her annoyance, and she is always not so serious, you have to be more tolerant. β
Xu Muran thought that Xue Wanli was not like this, "I can't be so naughty if I want to!" And everyone likes her so much, it makes me want to meet her even more. β
Xue Yinong said okay, Xu Muran stayed for a while and left.
Xu Shutong said with a smile: "The news is here." β
"Isn't she, she's a thief. It seems that I also saw them in the restaurant, which shows that the man Shuying said is very important, maybe this was your neighbor and you don't know? But Shu Tongzhen has a word to remind you, if the dead one is not dead, there will be a lot of situations in it. For example, betrayal, betrayal, you have to be mentally prepared for the worst. β
"Don't worry, I'll take it. It seems that the grievances of my Xu family are not simple. β
"Well, I think so, too. Okay, let's not talk about that for now, let's study the menu of full moon wine for the public. β
"Okay."
After a day or two of hard work, Xue Qingqiu and Qu Shang said goodbye, and said before leaving: "Disturbed Lord Qu here for a few days, this king plans to leave the capital today and return to the fiefdom, maybe this farewell, this life may not have the opportunity to see again, but Lord Qu is good to this king, this king will remember it for the rest of his life, tomorrow you will say goodbye to the emperor, and there is a lot of work, this king is not very suitable here, I am afraid that it will cause you a lot of trouble." Therefore, after discussing it with everyone, I decided to leave after breakfast, and it will be rare to meet at the end of the world in the future, so take care of Lord Qu. β
Xue Qingqiu said some words of gratitude, and Qu Shang also performed in tears. When the group had breakfast and packed up and set off, he also sent a paragraph.
After Xue Qingqiu and the others left, Qu Shang was also much more relaxed. At noon on this day, he said goodbye to his colleagues in the Flying Crane Tower, and held a few tables of decent banquets, because he was happy and relaxed, he drank a few more glasses of wine, and drank half drunk out of the door of the Flying Crane Tower, and the second brother sent him off warmly.
"Slow down, welcome to come back."
Qu Shang waved his hand and shouted, "If you don't come, you can't come again in the future." As soon as he walked to the sedan chair, he didn't know where a thief came out, picked up his purse and left, Qu Shang was stupid for a while because of the suddenness of the matter, and then shouted, "Catch the thief, catch him quickly!" β
Qu Shang jumped to his feet in a hurry, asked the sedan chair man and others not to carry the sedan chair, and quickly arrested people, there were still his personal seals, retirement documents, and good silver tickets for huΓ n, which could lose a lot.
The palanquin drivers heard a shout and chased forward as if they were ruthless. Qu Shang himself also ran behind, sweating profusely, and the wine was almost sober, and ran to an inn, Qu Shang saw the little thief running in, and he also chased in, and scolded in his mouth: "Little rabbit, don't let me catch it, if I catch it, I have to kill you." As he spoke, he saw a familiar figure, and almost thought he was mistaken, and rubbed his eyes.
That's right, it was Xue Qingqiu's Xu staff, how could he be here, wasn't he already out of the city? I was suspicious.
At this time, Staff Xu was in contact with Gao Zhizhong, Gao Zhizhong brought many good hands over, and after the two spoke, they took people upstairs.
Suddenly, at this time, someone was talking in Qu Shang's ear. "You read that right, the person you sent away in the morning is here, and he didn't leave at all."
Qu Shang turned his head slowly, not knowing when a woman in black was standing beside him, wearing a hat, and he didn't know if she opened her mouth, but her words came so clearly.
"What did you say?"
Xu Shuying whispered: "Didn't you see it all, why do you have to ask me, but I just heard those people say that they want to kill someone, that person is called Qu Shang, are you?" β
Qu Shang's whole foot was weak, and he fell back a few steps. The prince did not leave the capital, this is planning to kill him! "Who are you? How do you know these things? β
"It's very simple, because I was sent by the emperor to protect my lord."
"Your Majesty? Why does the emperor want to protect me? β
Xu Shuying sneered: "Should I say that you are simple or stupid, do you need me to sue you?" "How could I know something you don't know, don't you see that I'm making it up.
Qu Shang thought of many possibilities in his mind, did the emperor suspect him, or did he find out that Xue Qingqiu lived in his mansion? The emperor's intentions are unfathomable.
He walked out without saying anything, and the palanquin drivers saw him come out and hugged him, and the thief who stole the money was not caught, but the purse had been recovered.
Qu Shang took the purse, took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve, and asked a few people to divide it, "This is a reward for you." Everyone thanked them very happily. Qu Shang got into the sedan chair and returned home full of worries.
After Qu Shang left, the person who stole the money had already changed into a dress and said to Xu Shuying: "Miss Shuying, I have already done what you explained." β
"Very good, you go back and tell the emperor, just say that Qu Shang already knows that someone is going to kill him, maybe the emperor will soon get the good news he wants."
"Yes."
After the dark guard went back, he brought the original words according to Xu Shuying's instructions. Xue Yinong said: "I know, if you continue to monitor, I am afraid that something will change." β
"Good. The subordinates retired. β
Xue Yinong came out of the study and said to Xu Shutong: "Your sister is really neat, and she will confess me immediately." β
