The head of the inner court of Shengjing Palace, the person of the Empress Dowager?

Twilight's eyes froze, and she asked in a cold voice, "You mean, the real culprit behind the killing of my father is the Empress Dowager?" ”

"The person who poisoned him was An He, and it is unknown whether the Empress Dowager had a message or not. An He has followed her since the Empress Dowager entered the palace, the Nine Emperor Sons died, she did not abandon the Lord for three years after she closed the door, yes, and after the Yuan family took power, An He became the head of the inner court of Shengjing Palace, over the years, he has raised a bit of domineering temperament, and his minions are everywhere inside and outside the palace. Bu Xihuan looked at Du Qing's cold face and sighed, he had a grudge against the Yuan family for killing his mother, but he had to speak for her at this time.

"You mean, poisoning my father may be An He's own initiative, and it has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager?"

"Well, I didn't know until I checked the irrelevance." Bu Xihuan said lightly.

If she regards the Yuan family as the enemy who killed her father, he would be fine, but he knows that there is no injustice in the world is what she wants all her life, and if the culprit who kills her father is wronged, she will leave a knot in her heart for the rest of her life. He didn't want to see it, and would rather tell the truth and let her investigate the case clearly.

Twilight glanced at Bu Xihuan, she knew how difficult it would be for him.

In fact, she didn't believe that there was no one behind An He.

Dad was poisoned to death, An He has a domineering temperament, if these people kill people, most of them like violent methods such as knives, guns, sticks, etc., and poisoning will not be the first choice. Especially if my father is a man, in the eyes of people like An He, he is just a lowly ant people, so why use poison?

Eighty percent of An He was instructed by someone behind him, and this person was very likely to be the Empress Dowager. After Concubine Liu died, she issued an order to kill all the guards on the dragon boat and the people who served Concubine Liu.

But that's only an 80% chance.

There is also a twenty percent possibility that An He made his own opinion, when she performed the autopsy, she had heard a faint almond smell at the corner of her father's mouth, the poison contained cyanide, which was not easy to refine, if it was a new poison, there was a possibility of taking someone to test for poison. But this is only a speculation possibility, whether it is or not, you will find out after checking.

"When does An He usually leave the palace? Which one is the Xianggu Pavilion? Twilight asked.

"You're going to the Elephant Aunt?" Bu Xi smiled, but his eyebrows were raised, and he regretted telling her Xianggu Pavilion just now.

"Or you expect me to ask him in the palace?"

"He's outside the palace, and it's hard for you to interrogate him on your own. He is a master of the Great Interior, you don't understand internal strength, it is difficult to catch him. If you want to capture him, wait a few days, and I will be with you when I am free. Bu Xihuan said.

Twilight looked at him for a moment, the food getting colder, but the man's smile warmed his heart.

"Okay." Twilight responded, she wanted to avenge her father, but she would not act recklessly, she had been waiting for half a year, and she was not afraid to wait a few more days.

Twilight looked out the window, the light under the porch slanted to the corner of the window, and she could vaguely see the snowflakes pasting the window paper, listening to the wind coming from the lake, as low as crying at night.

Dad, the person who harmed you will soon be found......

"Go and rest, it's getting late." Bu Xihuan's voice came, and when Twilight came back to her senses, she saw that he had come to her side.

Just learned about her father's murderer, where can she sleep? This night must be sleepless. But Bu Xihuan left the palace late at night, thinking that it was necessary to go back earlier, so Twilight Qing didn't say anything, got up and entered the account.

Bu Xihuan opened the curtain and came in, sat on the edge of the bed and tucked the quilt for her, but refused to leave. Twilight turned over as soon as she saw his lazy smile, lying face in, lest she be eaten tofu.

There was a low laugh behind him, and Bu Xihuan looked at the twilight, and saw that the girl's shoulders were soft, like seeing the moon in the sky, cold and unique. He raised his hand and stroked her hair, arranged it carefully, and placed it next to the pillow, seeing that the green silk was like a cloud and the neck was like jade, he couldn't help but gently stroke the jade neck. Twilight's shoulders trembled slightly, and she felt the warmth of the man's fingertips, running along his neck, like a feather scratching his heart, itching indescribably. She closed her eyes and endured, didn't make a sound, didn't turn back, heard the man behind her laugh again, and then felt a pain in her neck, the pain was very light, as if someone had clicked it, she was in a daze, and before she had time to think, she felt sleepy, couldn't resist the heaviness of her eyelids, and gradually fell asleep.

Bu Xihuan sat quietly by the bed for a while, and then tucked the corners of the quilt for Twilight, and then got up and walked out of the attic.

The wind and snow were urgent, and the moon kill stood under the corridor, and when he saw Bu Xihuan coming out and kneeling, he said, "Master." ”

"Hmm." Bu Xihuan responded lightly, looked at the heavy snow outside the courtyard, and asked, "How is the matter with the Shenjia?" ”

"I just received a message tonight, the thorn department has arrived outside the pass, and the day when the gate is outside to Shengjing is calculated, it should have gone down the Zimu River by now." Moon Kills Dao.

Before the Northwest Army returned to the court, they put the poisonous insects in the underground palace in a jar and secretly sent them back, King Jin is worthy of being the holy hand of the poison doctor, the antidote was developed years ago, and the Northwest Army has not yet entered Beijing, and the antidote has been sent to the border pass. After Yuan Xiu learned in the underground palace that he was a person from the Piercing Moon Gate, he had ordered the army to secretly investigate the hidden pile left in the northwest by the Thorn Moon Gate, because he withdrew early, he didn't find anything. As soon as he left, the dark pile returned, and he tried to get out of Guancheng with the antidote, and after calculating the time, he should go down to the river.

"In five days, a new contact will arrive."

"Hmm." Bu Xihuan responded lightly and said, "The palace has been busy these days, you look at her more, don't let her go to the Xianggu Pavilion in the city." ”

"Yes!" Elephant Aunt? That woman still wants to go to the Elephant Aunt? What else does she want to do?

Yue Kill lowered his head, his brows furrowed fiercely, and when he looked up again, he saw that Bu Xihuan was already at the gate of the courtyard, his clothes were curled, and he sent heavy snow to the hospital, and the snow on the ground was white, and there were no footprints. In a moment, the person was blocked by the peach branches in the courtyard, and the figure disappeared.

In the morning of the next day, the criminal Cao Shangshu, Shengjing Mansion Yin and the Five Cities Patrol Division had this ensemble.

Dorje, the poisoned Leodan envoy at the palace banquet, had already woken up, and Wu Jin prescribed a prescription for recuperation, only to say that he would be fine after half a month. It's just that the fake priest of Ledan did not return to the post house that night, and the prince of Ledan Utu sent someone to report to Shengjing Mansion, thinking that Budjang was killed by thieves and disappeared. Yin Zheng Guangqi of Shengjing Mansion invited Utu to Xingcao, and Lin Meng ordered someone to carry Buda Rang's body, explained the destruction of the temple the night before, and showed Utu the mask that Buda Rang was wearing.

Utu was shocked, it seemed that he didn't know that Budajang had been secretly dropped the bag, he was furious, saying that it must be Daxing people who killed and replaced the Ledan priest on the way to Beijing with the Wuhu envoys, and he asked Daxing to find out where the real Ledan priest was, severely punish the murderer, and ask the court for a huge amount of peace compensation, and also said that he would repair the book and return to the grassland, and report the matter to the king of Ledan.

The envoys of the Rong people, Una and the Yue clan also suspected that there was a fake among their people, and now they are investigating the murderer, but they have not yet put forward the conditions for peace.

Di Ren was unexpectedly quiet, did not follow the case, and did not propose peace conditions.

Just after the New Year, Daxing and Wuhu had not yet begun to negotiate peace, Yuan Xiangguo ordered Cao to investigate the case quickly, and ordered Fan Gaoyang and Liu Huai and others to accompany Hu Envoy first, and then talk about peace after the Shangyuan Festival.

The case of the fake Ledan priest was very busy, and Lin Mengzuo asked to wait until the peace discussion was completed to investigate the case of embezzlement of the Northwest Army's pension money.

Yuan Xiu disagreed, "Lord Lin's meaning is that Xing Cao can't even investigate two major cases at the same time?" ”

In the final analysis, it's just that Lin Meng wants to drag this case and doesn't want to investigate!

Yuan Xiu's original intention of returning to the dynasty was to prevent the negotiation of peace, for him, the busier the punishment Cao, the longer the matter of peace was delayed, the better, and he had to find out clearly about the matter of the pension and silver in the army, and give an explanation to the soldiers, and he could not tolerate the punishment of Cao dragging on in this case.

"Master Hou misunderstood, these two cases are big cases, there is no room for mistakes, and the criminal Cao is going all out to solve them, but there are priorities...... Lin Meng said as he secretly looked at Yuan Xiangguo.

Yuan Xiangguo said: "This statement is reasonable, the matter of peace is important, and the peace ...... to be discussed"

"Lord Xiangguo means that the matter of the officers and soldiers of my Northwest Army is not serious?" Yuan Xiu interrupted Yuan Xiangguo's words, there is no father and son in the court, which is quite polite.

Yuan Xiangguo's face was full of anger, all these years in the court, no one dared to interrupt him when he spoke!

This rebel!

"After the discussion and the matter is over, Xing Cao will make every effort to investigate and deal with the case of the pension and the two of them!" Yuan Xiangguo glared at Yuan Xiu angrily, gritted his teeth and finished speaking, and then asked the holy will, "I don't know what Your Majesty means?" ”

"I thought that the Northwest Army was guarding the border passes, and the two sides were related to the hearts of the military." As soon as Bu Xihuan spoke, Yuan Xiangguo raised his head suddenly, and there was a dark color in his eyes that he couldn't see clearly.

In the court all these years, whenever he asked the holy will, the emperor only said that it was accurate, and today there are other words, it is true...... He can't be tolerated any longer.

"It is not impossible to go all out to investigate the two cases of the military pension after the peace is over, but how long will Lin Aiqing be able to find out the case of the fake Ledan priest?" Bu Xihuan asked.

"This ......," Lin Meng chuckled in his heart.

"This case is full of Cao, Shengjing Mansion and the Five Cities Patrol Division, and I guess I won't have to wait too long." Bu Xihuan leaned on the throne, his voice lazy but cold.

Yuan Xiangguo looked at the steps and was happy, although the emperor's actions today are suspected of having hardened his wings, but the case of the fake Ledan priest really can't be delayed for too long, if this case can't be solved, it will be a mistake and a big deal. He glanced at Lin Meng and said coldly: "This case is only for a month, can Lord Lin solve it?" ”

Lin Meng saw that Yuan Xiangguo's face was gloomy, and he complained bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say that he couldn't break it, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Yes...... The next official will do his best! ”

He just wanted to delay the pension case, and he didn't want to be hit by His Majesty's army and shoot himself in the foot, what else could he say?

Yuan Xiangguo's face was a little pale, but the courtiers had different faces because of the importance of the pension and silver case.

Twilight swept her eyes at the hall, taking in the expressions of the civil and military officials.

Subsequently, the hundred officials discussed the matter of peace again, and the early dynasty withdrew.

After the next court, Twilight walked behind, and when she arrived at the square, she looked back, and saw that the snow covered the golden tiles, and the golden palace covered the harem. The young man was dressed in a martial robe, his eyes were colder than snow, like the edge of a sword, piercing through the towering palace wall and piercing into the Yongshou Palace.

Grand empress dowager......

"Ahem!"

A low cough interrupted Twilight's thoughts, and she turned to look at Yuanxiu looking at her.

The man stood in the skylight, his eyebrows were sparse, his eyes were gentle, and his eyes were as clear as snow, and he asked, "Let's go out of the palace together?" ”

Yuan Xiu didn't look embarrassed, as if what happened in the Wangshan Tower yesterday didn't happen, he didn't mention yesterday's things, and Twilight Qing wouldn't mention it, so he just nodded and walked out of the palace with him.

"What do you think of the case of the fake Ledin priest?" Yuan Xiu asked as he found his words.

"If Utu doesn't find anything different about Budjan these days, then it's unlikely that people will be replaced on the way to Beijing." Twilight said in a low voice, she didn't say this in the palace, she told Bu Xihuan last night that the case would be investigated secretly.

"I wish they had been replaced on the way to Beijing." Yuan Xiudao, if not, it means that the person was replaced earlier, so the person who replaced the Leden priest many years ago is really a bit terrifying, this person is too deep, and the plot must be not small!

In fact, when he found out that the priest of Le Dan was fake, he had suspected his father, but his father was very nervous about the peace negotiation and did not seem to know about it.

So, who could have done this?

Twilight doesn't speak, the case is not on her side, and she wasn't there when Utu was questioned, so she couldn't learn more from his expression, so she didn't want to make unfounded speculations.

Along the way, some officials wanted to talk to Yuan Xiu, but when they saw that Twilight Qing was on the side, they all stopped one after another, and there was no one to disturb the two, so the atmosphere became even more silent. Seeing that he saw the palace gate, Yue Kill led the horse and waited outside the palace, and Yuan Xiu called Du Qing.

"Uh......"

"If you have something to say, when did you become a mother-in-law?" Twilight Qing saw that Yuan Xiu seemed to have something difficult to say, so she said.

"Who's mother-in-law!" Yuan Xiu was stirred by these words, and remembered the days when the two were in the northwest, when they were in the underground palace, she pulled out an arrow for him to treat his wounds, and the pants cut off his leg were clumped into a ball of cloth for him to bite, he was angry, and he also said that her mother-in-law and mother-in-law ...... It was a good time, but when I came back, I didn't feel comfortable doing anything.

Yuan Xiu sighed and smiled: "A few days later, my mother held a poetry meeting in the Xiangfu Courtyard, invited the children of the scholar clan to make tea and discuss, and some young ladies of the scholar clan enjoyed the flowers in the back garden. ”

Twilight understood as soon as she heard it, and the discussion of flower appreciation is fake, and the blind date is true.

"Come on that day, I'll go back and call Zhao Liangyi and them, they are all not too young, and they haven't married a wife yet." Yuan Xiu said as he looked at Twilight's face, "I'm more comfortable with you." ”

Zhao Liangyi and others are foreign ministers, and they don't need to go to court every day, and they don't need to go to court every day, but she made the governor of Jiangbei Navy, and the military camp is outside Shengjing City, as long as she doesn't go out of the city to train soldiers, she needs to go to court. Yuan Xiu hasn't told Zhao Liangyi and others about this, he plans to go back to the Hou Mansion directly later, Wang Weihai became a relative in the northwest, Zhao Liangyi is in his twenties, and he hasn't married a wife yet, if he meets a girl he likes at the poetry meeting, it is also a beautiful thing. He called Shang Twilight Qing because she was his old department, and if the poetry club didn't invite her to go, it was inevitable that there would be some speculation in the court, and if anyone felt that he had a dislike for her, he was afraid that she would have no scruples in the future.

Of course, he also has selfish intentions in this matter, his aunt and mother have to let him see Ning Zhao, he doesn't want to see him, he is in a better mood with her by his side.

"What day?" Twilight asked, and she agreed.

"The sixth day of junior high school." Yuan Xiu thought that Twilight Qing didn't like many people, and he might not agree, but he didn't expect her to agree happily, and the haze in his heart was suddenly swept away, and he only felt refreshed.

Twilight nodded her head to indicate that she understood, took the reins from the Moon Killer and got on the horse, but without seeing the eyes of his housekeeper, she rode back to the Governor's Mansion.

Since you want to secretly investigate the two cases of pension and silver, you can gain something by contacting those sons of the scholar clan in Shengjing.

The Xiangfu Annexes are also in the south of the city, quite close to Ludao Lake, but the style is not comparable to the Governor's Mansion.

Seven courtyards, by the forest lake, outside can enjoy the peach forest lake view, inside can also enjoy the peach forest lake view, it is rumored that when the courtyard was built, the gardener imitated the heron island lake view in the house to build a small scene, remote view of the courtyard, there are lakes inside and outside, inside and outside the forest, there are peach blossoms in spring, there are herons in summer, there are golden forests in autumn and snow in winter, the four seasons are like a fairyland.

Although it is a poetry meeting, it is also necessary to avoid suspicion, the sons of the Shi clan and the ladies are divided into two gardens, separated by a small lake, there are peach forests on both sides of the river, there are curved corridors in the peach forest, gold felt, carved a few paintings, a small red clay furnace next to it, warm fire fragrant tea, the sons of the Shi clan have jade crowns and flowers, and they look at it at a glance after entering the table, all of them are handsome.

Twilight came late, Yuan Xiu took Zhao Liangyi and others to pick her up in the Governor's Mansion, several of them were from the Northwest Army, and they killed countless enemies on the battlefield, although they were also jade crowns, their bearing was very different from the aristocratic sons of Shengjing, all of them were as dignified as blades.

Yuan Xiu took Dui Qing and the others into the peach forest into the corridor, and the sons got up one after another, and the atmosphere was a little quiet.

There is a pavilion in the corridor, there are two seats in the pavilion, in addition to Yuan Xiu's, there is also a person - King Jin.

Wu Jin is waiting in the pavilion, admiring the snow with his negative hands, the peach forest outside the corridor has seen the buds, the heavy snow presses the branches, the buds are pretty, the man is still not crowned, only the ink hair is loose, the wide sleeves are deep clothes, and the wind of the southern country is a faction.

"Master Hou, generals." Hearing the footsteps, Wu Jin turned around and smiled, and saluted Yuan Xiu, Du Qing and the others from afar.

If he was the Prince of Daxing, he would not need to be courteous, but he was a proton of the subject country of Nantu, and his status was lower. It's just that his medical skills are excellent, and everyone in the Shengjing Prince's Mansion values him and doesn't dare to treat him slowly.

Yuan Xiu entered the pavilion and said with a smile: "My eldest brother's injury is due to the prince Lao, Yuan Xiu has been in the border for many years, a rough person, today's garden fair, if there is a place where the hospitality is not good, I hope the prince is not strange." ”
