Chapter 794: Identity Revealed
On the way back to the inn, Xie Tangchen seemed much happier than usual. When Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info sent Xue Ya back before, Xie Tangchen was always heavy and worried, but this time there was always a little smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Gongzi Xie, did you encounter anything happy today? Why do you keep laughing? Xue Ya turned her face to look at him and said.
Xie Tangchen also turned his head to look at her, thought for a while and said: "I have been thinking about something beneficial to the Great Qi State for a while, the memorabilia has already been written, and it will be presented to the emperor tomorrow, if the emperor can adopt my suggestion, the Great Qi State will definitely be able to change the current state of emptiness in the treasury." ”
Xue Ya looked at Xie Tangchen's shining eyes, and seemed to be able to feel his excitement and joy: "Ling Mei's condition has stabilized, as long as she makes up for her body well, she will get better soon, and then Xie Gongzi can concentrate on doing what she likes." ”
When Xie Tangchen heard this, his eyes flickered inexplicably, and he pursed his lips.
After walking silently for a while, he suddenly stopped, looked at Xue Ya and said, "The girl's identity has been roughly guessed below." ”
Xue Yawan didn't expect to wait for such a sentence, and she nervously grabbed the placket of her clothes: "Childe...... Why? ”
Xie Tangchen didn't expect Xue Ya's reaction to be so strong, so he said with a guilty face: "Xue Ya girl, don't be nervous, there is no malice in the next place, maybe the words are too direct." ”
Xue Ya didn't let her guard down at all: "What did Gongzi Xie mean by what he said just now?" ”
Xie Tangchen looked at Xue Ya with some concern, and said word by word: "The girl is not from a merchant family who came to Beijing from other places to do business, but from Hanyang Palace, right?" ”
Xue Ya took a step back in shock, and she pretended to be calm and said, "I don't understand what Gongzi Xie said." ”
Xie Tangchen looked around at this time, dragged Xue Ya to a secluded corner, and then said seriously: "The girl's demeanor is dignified and generous, and her demeanor is graceful, which is definitely not something that a woman from a small merchant family can have. In addition, most of the medicinal materials on the prescription you gave Tang Xin are all royal tributes, and few people know about them. You can buy these medicinal herbs, you must have traveled to a lot of places and spent a lot of money. And if you are an orphan girl with no relatives, how can you have so much silver? ”
"This ......" Xue Ya swallowed his saliva: "The silver tickets when my father came to do business were all placed here with me, so ......"
"Miss Xueya, I don't have any malice in saying this today, I just want to remind the girl, protect yourself, don't go to the work of a small broker in the future, anyway, you don't lack this money, right? If it's really difficult to get around, I can also sponsor the girl, I just want to ask the girl to live in a simple place, so as not to attract attention. Xie Tangchen said.
Xue Ya was confused when she heard it: "Why does Gongzi Xie want to say these things to me today?" ”
"When I went to the household department today, I saw a few officials I knew and chatted for a while, and I heard that the emperor was depressed because he couldn't find the concubine, and the officials hoped that the emperor would accept the reality that the concubine was dead, and build a tomb for the concubine as soon as possible. However, the emperor resolutely disagreed before, but in the past few months, his attitude has also eased. The burial of the concubine is about to begin. At this time, if you are found, you will probably be buried. ”
Xue Ya still didn't understand: "Even if the concubine wants to be buried, why do you want me to be buried?" What she means is that although she is a little lower-grade, she is also Xie Ronghua in Hanyang Palace, and if she wants to be martyred, she will also be martyred for the emperor, why should she be martyred for the concubine?
Xie Tangchen frowned and glanced at Xue Ya deeply: "Aren't you the palace maid beside the concubine?" ”
Xue Ya's eyes widened and she didn't speak. But she thought quickly: "The emperor issued a bounty after the flood to find Yunyang and her maid Xiuguo'er, but he didn't mention me at all, so the people only knew that Yunyang was missing in the flood but didn't know that there was also Xie Ronghua." Xie Tangchen deduced that I was from Hanyang Palace, so since I was not a concubine, I could only be a palace maid by her side, so I was worried that I would be arrested and martyred. ”
Thinking of this, Xue Ya's expression was not as tense as just now, and she just lowered her head silently.
Xie Tangchen looked at her like this, and only said that his guess was completely correct. So, in a deep voice, he said, "It is providential that you can survive the flood." I also understand that the palace maids want to leave the palace and live a free life, since you have been incognito, then you should be reborn, as long as you are careful and protect yourself, then you can live the life you want. ”
When Xue Ya heard this, she suddenly raised her head, and looked at Xie Tangchen with brave and enthusiastic eyes: "Then what kind of life do I want to live, does Gongzi Xie know?" ”
Xie Tangchen did not evade this time, met her gaze and said, "I know." ”
His reaction surprised Xue Ya, and she asked again, "Then can I live?" ”
"Everything is man-made." Xie Tangchen's tone was still unhurried.
Xue Ya already had a smile on her face that she couldn't hide, but then she became worried again, and asked stubbornly: "Gongzi Xie is an official of the imperial court, do you know what the result will be if you are found to be related to me?" ”
Xie Tangchen turned around and said in a low voice: "If you keep the palace maid privately, you should be sentenced to death." ”
Xue Ya suddenly felt that he was so stupid, he had always been good to Xie Tangchen's brothers and sisters, and hoped that they would take over him, which was actually tantamount to pressing Xie Tangchen step by step, and the result of the pressure was likely to make him "cut off"!
Xue Ya stopped, grabbed Xie Tangchen's sleeve and said, "Gongzi Xie, I did something wrong in this matter. I didn't think about it so much, I just knew that if I was willful, I wouldn't see you again in the future, and I would leave Luoyang. I don't want to kill you......"
Xie Tangchen raised his eyebrows worriedly, and suddenly held Xue Ya's hand.
Xue Ya only felt that her breathing had stopped, and she wanted to pull her hand out of Xie Tangchen's palm, but she couldn't move at all!
"I understand your intentions." Xie Tangchen said calmly: "Everything you have done to our brothers and sisters is completely worth our risk. Don't worry, as long as these few days pass, I will take you and Tang Xin out of Luoyang. I will invite myself to be an official in a remote place, and then you will be truly free and safe. ”
Although Xie Tangchen's arrangement was very secure, Xue Ya still said with tears in his eyes: "I don't deserve your own future. If you stay in Yueyang, it will be easier for you to be promoted......"
"Needless to say." Xie Tang's voice was not high, but his tone was categorical: "There is not much that our brothers and sisters can do for you, this is the best way." Just trust me in everything. ”
Xue Ya nodded vigorously.
