171 Reasonable Unexpected
Mama Cai was in a hurry, her expression was solemn, and it was obvious that the situation was a little out of her expectations. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
She whispered in the princess's ear: "When the old slave walked to the door, he met the brother and sister-in-law who came to visit Yan Xiao. simply interrogated a few words, and the two of them were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, thinking that what Concubine Han Shu said was true. Indeed, a strange man paid off the gambling debt for Yan Xiao's brother and forgave a lawsuit. β
Princess Regent closed her eyes with a sigh.
According to the prince's temperament, things have developed so far, and it is definitely necessary to find out who this man is. The princess understood that since the Han family had planned to such an extent, she would not fall short, and only needed to implicate this person with herself a little bit of involvement, or a vague outline that she wanted to cover up......
There will be a seed of doubt in the prince's heart-
Wait, no......
The princess suddenly understood Lin's gaze!
It wasn't Yan Xiao that Han had to deal with at all, it was himself from beginning to end.
The princess regent stopped breathing for half a beat for a moment, she turned her gaze away from Han in disbelief, and just as her eyes were confused and aimless, she bumped into Lin's indifferent and slightly concerned gaze.
To say that Xie Li has lived for more than 20 years, at this moment, it is like being in a biting ice cellar, trembling all over, and even his heart is cold.
Han's She-
I actually have such a mind!
From beginning to end, Xie Li, as the regent princess, may have beaten the concubines and used means to pinch them, but she has never dealt with those children. Now, the world is really the opposite, the main room didn't think about murdering the concubine, but the concubine tried to shake the position of her and the concubine.
Xie Li thought of her son, who was still leaning softly in her arms last night, and finally the spring blossomed, and her body turned a little, and the prince also promised to accompany him out to see the foal...... Han didn't even let go of the child!
At this moment, Xie Li ate her heart alive.
Lin Qixu paid attention to the princess's suddenly sharp eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and no matter how much the princess doesn't like her, she is stronger than the Han family.
Concubine Han Shu smiled unknowingly: "Princess, you might as well let Mama Cai say it loudly." What is the matter of covering up, but the prince has to say it again when he asks. β
The princess regent snorted coldly: "Then wait for the prince to come back and say it together, so as to save a lot of words." β
Han didn't expect the princess to give her the slightest bit of gentleness, and the right wife to the concubine was just some hypocritical articles on the surface, she wouldn't be like some people, stupidly thinking how well Xie Li could treat them. Turn your face, turn your face, you have Yangguan Road, I have a single-plank bridge, see who will die in the end.
Don't forget, the Xie family is just a sick son, and the prince in his heart may not be the candidate for the son. And Xie can't have children anymore, how can he be compared to her.
As for the Lin family, she has no relatives to rely on, but she is a younger brother who is not in the climate, and she has no heirs, it is difficult for her to stir up in this troubled water, and she should learn from the intelligent You family and be a silent concubine in Baohua Pavilion.
Han became more and more proud, her baby son was only more than two years old, and he could already memorize a poem (it is estimated that Han's ordered the slave to nag in front of his son day and night), and he had to grow up. Seeing that the third prince was weak all day long, Han was blowing tea warmly, and his heart was poured.
What is nine out of ten?
It was nothing more than faith that planted a seed of doubt in the heart of the regent.
The three women were relatively silent, each calculating unknown calculations and thoughts in their hearts.
The beautiful light and shadow of spring flowers and willows, neatly chopping on the thin velvet lichen, across everyone's hearts.
The regent lived up to expectations and came with his hands, because he had never heard any rumors beforehand, and the first person he looked at when he entered the door was Lin Qixu.
Half a month has not seen her, the regent is actually strange. But for the sake of decency and the princess, how can I go to see her.
Then he saw that the Han family was also there, and the princess was sitting on it, looking at her face very much... Friendly.
The regent spoke, "What's going on?" β
The princess and the Han family also looked at the regent's expression, and when they saw him looking at the Lin family vigorously, they couldn't help but feel jealous. The princess smiled unhurriedly: "It's something that Sister Han said to her concubines, it's just a little bit of a quarrel." However, the concubine looked at the prince and had thoughts, but the Lin family..."What happened to offend you?"
The Han clan also paid attention to the regent's emotional involvement, and seeing that the Lin clan had once again attracted all the attention of the prince, it was inevitable that his mouth was not good. However, compared to the princess's Taoism, the Han family seems shallow and clumsy......
She said impatiently: "Yes, the prince might as well talk about it." The concubine was also curious. β
Lin Qixu saw that these two people were more eager than himself, and the original little bit of dazed meaning disappeared. She only looked at the regent with a light smile, with an elegant posture and a noble temperament.
The regent didn't want to make a fuss about it, but he couldn't hide it.
After all, Yang Ying is also the princess's brother-in-law, and when it comes to it, she is still his brother-in-law.
The regent coughed falsely before he said, "This incident happened last night. Probably the incident happened suddenly, and the two families didn't have time to report to you and the princess, and I don't think you know yet. "You mean Lin Qixu.
The princess regent glanced contemptuously at the Lin family, who was also confused, and became even more confused.
"Lin Qichen beat Yang Ying, and after listening to the diagnosis of the doctor, Yang Ying's right leg seems to be broken, and he will be raised for a while." The regent gave an extremely succinct account of the origins.
Yang Ying's leg was broken, and even the position of the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Guard was vacated, and the emperor took a lot of painstaking work.
However, let Lin Qichen directly face the Jing'an Hou Mansion in the middle of the day.
Is it wise?
What if the Hou Mansion becomes angry and doesn't do anything, and obliterates Lin Qichen?
Besides, Yang Ying is the son-in-law of the Fuguo Mansion and the husband of the princess's own sister. Lin Qichen is not afraid that his baby sister will be embarrassed by the princess in the palace?
The Lord Regent thought with amusement.
The first to speak was Han, her tone was high-pitched and sharp, and she couldn't help but regret it: "Isn't this the prince of the Marquis of Jing'an, what kind of quarrel is there in a good way, but no matter what, Lin Gongzi can't hit someoneββ"
The princess's face must be difficult to see and not to see.
Lin Qixu didn't have the courage to take a look.
Han gloated and looked at Lin Qixu, who was as motionless as a mountain, and began to tell the prince about the shocking case she had discovered.
"The concubine's maid Wicker recently came home to visit her newborn nephew, and the women in the alley were idle, sitting together eating melon seeds, and chatting about the neighborhood. Wicker overheard that it was Yan Xiao's second brother who owed a debt of several hundred taels to the gambling house, and they all thought that Yan Xiao had a big face, and begged the princess for the grace to repay the debt. Wicker was curious, and after careful inquiry, he found that it was a man dressed as a Taoist priest who solved the siege. When Concubine Han Shu said this, she paused deliberately.
The regent was expressionless when he heard this, and his cold eyes made Han shiver.
"Wicker came back and said this to me, and the concubine thought that Yan Xiao had been pregnant recently, but she had been sullen, isn't it strange. The more the concubine thought about it, the more wrong it became, so she asked people to check the Taoist priest, but she never thought that she was a frequent visitor to the palace. Concubine Han Shu was worried on her face, but she couldn't do it happily in her heart. She pondered the color of the prince and said, "That Taoist priest has a lot of money recently, and he invited a lot of friends at the end of the year, saying that he is himself... I'm about to have a son. But the result of wicker's inquiry was that the man did not marry a wife at all, and lived alone in the Taoist temple. β
Lin Qixu listened attentively, eager to break every sentence and chew it slowly. However, Han Shi is well prepared this time, at least there is nothing wrong with this wording. Because the occasional flaw doesn't seem to be worth mentioning compared to the seriousness of the whole thing.
The regent's face is not good-looking, it is certain, his eyes slipped around, and he did not see the figure of the protagonist.
"Where's Yan Xiao?"
The princess hurriedly said: "The concubine let her go and rest." After speaking, she didn't ask the prince, so she instructed Yan Xi: "Quick, invite Yan Xiao." β
From Lin Qixu's point of view, he could just see the princess's eyes flickering a few times.
It must be for Yan Xi to tell Yan Xiao a few words, don't be deceived by the Han family.
When Yan Xiao turned out from behind the white jade curtain, Lin Qixu sighed in his heart.
Just by that miserable white face, the regent believed three or four points.
"The slave has seen the prince." Yan Xiao held up her huge belly and saluted hard.
The regent seemed to have no patience in his eyes, and said, "Put on a soft pillow and sit down first." He looked at the person standing in the circle as if unintentionally, and finally landed on Lin Qixu's body.
"What does the Lin family have to do with this?" The regent asked lightly.
It is difficult for the Han family to say that if this matter is settled, then the Lin family will definitely not be able to escape the charge of a poor housekeeper. But now the prince is obviously still hesitant, and the Han family is not good at directly stumbling on the Lin family.
"After all, when Yan Xiao was pregnant, the princess was still unable to take charge of the middle feed, and it was the concubine who acted as the housekeeper." Lin Qixu naturally wouldn't give Han a chance to get rid of it, and Tingting stepped forward to reply.
The regent sighed softly.
Seeing that the princess obviously didn't believe in the Han family, the princess spit out the words she had been thinking about for a long time in an orderly manner: "In the end, Yan Xiao has served in the palace for a lot of years, even if she is a subordinate, she can't be slandered by others, and this matter is related to the reputation of the palace, so it is not good to make a big investigation wantonly." β
Are there still fewer jokes in our palace on the streets and alleys?
For no reason, why add more jokes.
The Lord Regent had much in mind.
Concubine Han Shu was unconvinced: "Why don't you check it!" It is related to the bloodline of the royal family, and it must be made clear, but the concubine heard that the Taoist priest was also invited into the palace by the princess to exorcise ghosts. β
was interjected by the Han family one after another, and insisted on deducting such a big crime on the princess's head, Xie Li had to crawl out of the grave if she was dead, when did she say that she would not verify, the Han family was the most exploitable! Xie Li took a deep breath desperately, for fear that if she was not careful, she would scold and drop her price.
It's a pity that the Han family couldn't pay attention to the princess's painstaking efforts, and pursed her lips and smiled: "The princess doesn't have to stare at the concubine with hatred, the Taoist priest on the left and right is not the concubine who instigated the invitation to come into the palace, the prince is wise and martial, and he has his own decision in his heart." Besides, not only the princess and Miss Yanxiao live in the backyard, but a foreign man is contaminated with the prince's concubine, and if he says it, it will ruin the reputation of our women. β
Lin Qixu sneered at Han's death without repentance in his heart, there are some things that everyone knows, and they have to say it blatantly, the regent is only afraid that he will feel that he is wearing a shiny green hat on his head now.
Han, as the initiator, completely disregarded the face of the person concerned, and stabbed out this secret story in a big way.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, in the end, all of them are convicted, what can the Han family get.
There are some things that are better to know than not to know.
If you are a fool, you can be happy for a lifetime.
After the regent experienced Concubine Ning, his preparedness for the struggle between wives and concubines in the backyard has risen by more than one level.
At the threshold where the atmosphere is solidified, no one will speak rashly.
Even Han, who looked and had taken stimulants, lowered his head and ate tea in a pretentious manner.
At this time, Lin Qixu bowed his body and said softly: "Lord, the concubine is a little inconvenient, go to the clean room." β
The regent did not allow it.
Waiting to walk out of the main hall with the hem of his skirt in small steps, Lin Qixu's eyes suddenly condensed, and he had no humility at all. If she remembers well, there are two clean rooms in the main courtyard, one is a wing room specially for the convenience of the prince and princess, etc., with a comfortable smell and timely cleaning; In another place, the people entering and exiting are more chaotic, and the key is that there is a small window facing the bamboo forest at the back to ventilate and dissipate the smell.
She walked quickly into the tiled house, leaving the swallow bamboo outside, and slowly walked to the window.
Yan Xiao's charges cannot be confirmed, and she is even more reluctant for the Han family to dominate the backyard than the princess controlling the backyard.
What's more, Han wanted to buckle the basin on her head, and if she didn't return the salute, Han became more and more inch-inch.
Press your fingers to your lips and blow gently.
Lin Qixu summoned the hidden guards who followed him like a shadow, and his expression was quite complicated. No matter how difficult the situation was, she was unwilling to let the hidden guard be involved, this was her last move, the last barrier to save her life.
I used it once today, and it is difficult to ensure that the Han family is not suspicious, and the prince does not care.
However, Lin Qixu was disgusted by the Han family for a long time, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"That group of Taoist priests live in Fahua Temple, although I don't know who his specific surname is, but it's okay. You first go to Concubine Han Shu's residence to find some silver tickets that she usually uses, if it is the bottom of the box, it is better, if you are in time, go directly to print a seal of the Han family's money. "Fortunately, time is in a hurry, otherwise Lin Qixu can't wait to make a series of shocking cases.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Remember, don't put it in a conspicuous place. Preferably, it is not harmful to have a compartment under the bed slat, or in the dark compartment of the wardrobe of the cabinet. Then, a little bit of a trace is revealed. β
The hidden guard listened very carefully, and even vaguely excited.
Lin Qixu smiled innocently and secretly: "Since your aunt will send you, you are used to doing these things." I didn't bury your talents before, and I couldn't help but let you count ants on the beams and pillars of the roof all day long. β
The hidden guard of the counting ants smiled shyly.
"Most importantly, please don't be discovered by the secret sentinels of the palace."
The hidden guard had a lot of difficulty, and showed off: "Don't worry, master, the subordinates are lurking well, and so far, there has been no conflict with them." β
Conflict?
Lin Qixu stroked his forehead.
It's one thing to be detected by the secret whistle of the palace, it's another thing to follow it.
If she still dares to have a conflict, how will she explain to the prince?
"I haven't asked you to do anything before, but now that you act during the day, it will inevitably be more eye-catching. Go ahead and come back as soon as possible, whether it works out or not. β
I'm too lazy to talk more with the hidden guards, but now that the situation is urgent, it's important to get down to business.
Lin Qi straightened out the messy skirt due to the fast walking, and slowly looked at the big red peony blooming in the courtyard. When she had a serious facial expression and pretended to be worried and nervous, she walked into the main hall with heavy steps.
The regent and the princess had their own thoughts, and they didn't have much time to rest their eyes on her, but it was the determined Han family, his eyes wandered around, and after looking at Lin Qixu, he said suspiciously: "If I remember well, isn't this clean room behind?" The side concubine ran outside to do something. β
Finally, Han Shi was keen, but fortunately, Lin Qixu was not a vegetarian, and she said quietly: "I used to worship the Buddha with the princess in the Buddha hall, and I have always been used to that one, so I subconsciously went." β
The princess didn't think much about it, because what Lin Qixu said was the truth.
Han glanced at him suspiciously, pursed his lips, and couldn't say anything.
The wait was so long that even the regent, who was full of energy, could not calm down, and repeatedly walked back and forth in the hall with his hands in hand, his brow mixed with obvious gloom and anxiety. The princess regent finally stabilized her mind, and her face restrained a little of her original uneasiness, but she still looked preoccupied.
The most calm people in the hall are none other than Lin Qixu and Han.
There were two teams of people who were ordered to arrest and arrest, one team was the palace staff of the chief housekeeper and the guards, and the other team was the personal soldiers trained by the regent himself.
The reason why Lin Qixu dared to make a dangerous move was nothing more than that he was sure that the regent would not only send a housekeeper to protect the courtyard to verify, since he wanted to arrest the madman, he would inevitably use force, so he naturally needed to use his own soldiers to suppress the formation. In addition, the regent has been immersed in the court for several years, and he has also been a temple secretary in Dali Temple, and he will definitely believe in ironclad evidence.
Those two groups were all subordinates trained by the regent, and they had followed them for many years, and they were loyal, and they knew the prince's heart and temper better than her. If they didn't find something, Lin Qixu firmly believed that they wouldn't have to come back to make a business at all.
A short time later, there was a noise outside the hospital.
All those waiting in the outer hall raised their faces in unison.
Except for the despair on Yan Xiao's face, there seemed to be no expectation.
Sure enough, Lin Qixu saw the leading head of the guard, Cao Yu, with a solemn face and a calm attitude, coming in to resume his life, with a cowhide bag in his hand, looking at the bulging appearance, he wanted to gain a lot.
Han Shi also had a smug expression, but when he saw the prince's heavy expression, he lowered his head and pursed his smiling lips vigorously, trying to make a worried appearance that shared the same worries as the prince.
"Back to the prince, when his subordinates rushed to Fahua Temple, the madman was gone. Fortunately, the interior of the house was still furnished as before, and this was the evidence that his subordinates found in the house. β
The regent's eyebrows jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "Gone? β
Cao Yu, the chief of the guard, knelt down to admit his guilt and replied: "The subordinates are derelict in their duties, but the thieves are cunning, and they seem to have learned the news in advance. However, his subordinates have already explained to the Admiral of Jiumen, and those who want to patrol the five battalions will be heavily fortified at the nine gates of the capital.
