This room is really not very large, and the style is even a little more simple than that of ordinary farmers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But come to think of it, this Jingze Garden has been abandoned in the Prime Minister's Mansion for I don't know how long, they moved here six years ago, and they can still clean a few clean rooms to settle down, which is excellent.

In front of the door, a curtain hung as a shield, and the cold wind blew through it, and the curtain pulled and flipped between the flew, as if the outline of the house could be faintly seen.

The old woman closed the door slowly, isolating the cold of late winter and early spring, but she couldn't stop the room from being bleak. Ye Sheng had already bypassed the curtain and walked into the room, looking around quietly, inserting candlestick beds, draining the scoops, and picking rafters. At first glance, it looks like you've strayed into a slum somewhere.

After looking at it, she withdrew her gaze and couldn't help frowning deeply. I walked to a small shabby square table, rubbed my fingers lightly on it, and when I looked up, it was spotless! Ye Sheng turned around, and the old woman with stumbling steps but a gentle smile also happened to raise her eyes to meet her gaze, and suddenly, there was some admiration and appreciation in her heart. is worthy of the maid who once served the nobles of the palace, even if she is now in prison and the glory is gone, she can still be at ease, like weeping grass mustard.

Thinking of this, she picked up a stool and sat down very uninhibitedly, raised her eyes to look at the old woman and said, "Old man, don't be busy, come and sit quickly." ”

The guests are so bright and upright, and they are calm, clearly treating this place as their own home, and they are mainly anti-guest. The old woman did not think so, and went to the bedside with a complacent expression, took down the candlestick, and then turned back and sat down at the table.

As the lights got closer, I felt the icy temperature around me gradually warm up.

Ye Sheng poured a cup of tea for the old woman and also poured herself a cup, just now she coughed so badly, it should be caused by no medicine all year round. Thinking of the Prime Minister's indifference to Jingze Garden over the years, Ye Sheng's gaze was slightly cold, and he took a sip of cold water that penetrated his heart with a slight mockery. is really her good father, his son was killed, he still spoiled the murderer, but sent her mother into the cold palace, and he didn't care about life or death!

It is also strange that before she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she did not have a trace of resentment and distress towards this father and mother whom she had never met, and she never thought about avenging anyone. Even the so-called Erniang who almost tortured her to death, she has forgotten it and slowly forgotten it. But at this moment, she could barely control the pent-up anger in her heart.

She wants to get back the pain and suffering that her mother has endured during these six years, and she will take it back with interest!

The old woman on the other side drank a glass of white water, the dryness in her throat was relieved, and her face was a little ruddy. Stretched out his hand and pushed the candlestick on the table in the direction of Ye Sheng, and then said leisurely: "It's just spring today, but the weather is cold, and it's the easiest to catch a cold." You wear so little, or do you bake more and go to the cold. ”

The dim light reflected Ye Sheng's deep eyebrows, and suddenly, her ordinary appearance was set off with a bit of elegance and elegance.

Ye Sheng suddenly came back to his senses and raised his head to reveal a genuinely kind smile. In fact, she didn't feel much cold, after all, she had internal strength, and she had been honed in the harsh environment of Lianji for so many years, even if she didn't use internal force, it would not be a big deal. But this is someone's heart, and she can't refuse. What's more, for some reason, she always has an inexplicable affection for her, or rather, kindness.

Ye Sheng pursed his lips and glanced in the direction of the door, Liansi's people probably wouldn't give up easily. The reason why she hid in the Prime Minister's Mansion was to find a place to hide; The second is to make Lianji think that she has an inseparable relationship with the Prime Minister. It would be best to take this opportunity to divert their attention so that she and Awan are safe.

There was another thing that she also found strange. Why does Lotus appear on the banks of the Qinshui River? It stands to reason that for such a grand celebration, in order not to attract the attention of the major forces in Beijing, Renji should be more low-key. After all, it is just an infamous organization on the rivers and lakes, no matter how big the waves can be set off, it still can't go against the authentic royal family. You must know that the mantis arm can't be used as a car, even if Lianji is as powerful, can it still subvert a dynasty?

Ye Sheng casually held the cup in his hand and silently pondered the reason.

The old woman didn't bother her, and closed her eyes as if she was asleep.

The cold night is like a cloud-covering cloth, and the crows are silent and silent, and there is only the deep and quiet sound of the sudden north wind beating the window lattice and door frame.

Suddenly, as if she had figured out something, the cup in her hand was slammed on the table, and as soon as there was a violent collision, even the old woman opposite opened her eyes in surprise and looked at her with a little doubt.

Ye Sheng was only surprised for a moment, and then quickly calmed down again. She had always felt that something was wrong, but she never had a clue. And just now, she carefully combed through what had happened after leaving Lianji, and only then did she see some problems. Why did Renji appear at the Spring Festival ceremony on the banks of the Qinshui River, either they were dispatched to protect someone, or they were the masterminds behind the assassination and murder.

Either way, she felt chills.

If it's for whom. Who to protect? Nothing more than their masters. On such days, if he can appear at the Spring Festival Ceremony and carry a secret guard, then his identity must be either rich or noble. Only people with high status will always carry bodyguards. Because that's a symbol of their status!

And Wakarenji is the mastermind behind this matter. Then she should be even more careful! To have the courage to go against the lord of a country proves the unfathomable nature of the master of Lotus Division. At least he had the certainty of assassinating the emperor and being able to escape with his whole body. If it weren't for the clues she saw by chance, they might have really succeeded today. She really couldn't imagine that if Emperor Qin was really killed, what would happen to Great Qin?

In this way, the man is really not easy to mess with.

But she just messed with it!

Ye Sheng frowned, feeling exhausted for the first time. Look at the face and know the inside. Seeing that the devil is extremely wicked and treacherous, she will not think that he will do good deeds and change to vegetarian one day. But she is still a powerless woman now, even if she was born powerful, but this prime minister's mansion is also a big quagmire! And what is she going to do with him?

Ye Sheng was deeply entangled.

At this moment, the light on the table suddenly went out. It also disrupted Ye Sheng's heavy thoughts.

In the dark, I saw the old woman get up silently and walk to the cabinet to take something. Then he fumbled his way back, flicked the wick, and the flames immediately rekindled. She was so close, and when she looked at Ye Sheng condescendingly, she seemed to be looking at another person through her.

Ye Sheng stretched out his hand to help her sit down. Liansi's affairs are too tricky and troublesome, even though she is delicate and witty, she can't guess it all at once, so she should wait until she goes back and discuss it with Jiang Wan! And for now, the key is to solve her embarrassing situation first. After thinking about it, she raised her head and smiled slightly: "Old man, thank you for today." I'm afraid I won't be able to figure out until tomorrow. ”

The old woman sat down with her hand, smiled kindly when she heard the words, and said, "It's okay." By the way, there are still a few sets of old clothes worn by the people in the house. Then you can change your clothes, dress up as a handyman in the house, and then find a way to get out. After a pause, she looked at Ye Sheng's face seriously, thought about it again and again, and said, "Actually, the old body thinks that you are very much like a person, and I feel kind in my heart, so I want to help you......"

Ye Sheng raised his eyebrows, a little curious: "Oh? I wonder who the old man thinks I look like? ”

"Well, it's like an old man who has seen a big little master since he was a child...... The eldest prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion who died of an epidemic six years ago. The old woman coughed and groaned.

Ye Sheng was stunned, it is said that Jiang Wan's disguise technique can be called a magic workmanship, and it is the most exquisite. Even if there was no special disguise material in the General's Mansion at that time, once she was sure of her move, it would never be easy for people to recognize her!

It seems that this old woman can't be underestimated!

With her perfect eyesight, she shouldn't be just an ordinary dowry maid.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Sheng quickly faded away the surging waves at the bottom of his eyes, sneered, and said humbly: "Old man, you are laughing, how can I look like the eldest prince of Xiangfu?" ”

When the old woman heard this, she still didn't move, her eyes swept a little, and finally stared at her eyes. Under the dim lights, you can even clearly see the gray pupils that are different from ordinary people, faintly flooding with clear waves like water. She stared deeply for a long time before she shook her head and exclaimed, "Hey, it's not quite like that." It may be that the old body is old and the old eyes are dizzy, so this is what happened! It's just that when you laughed just now, the inadvertent smoky look between your eyebrows was a little similar to the little master. But when I look closely, I don't feel like it. ”

"Maybe it's because it's too dark." Ye Sheng turned his head, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

The old woman seemed to be stuck in a memory, and she was stunned for a while, and said with emotion: "That child, when he died, he was only twelve years old!" If you grow up steadily, you may be as tall as you. ”

Ye Sheng lowered her eyes, and suddenly thought of some questions, such as why did she become the "eldest son" of the Prime Minister's Mansion because she was clearly a woman? Is there any secret here?

"The little master is smart and clever when he is young. When he was born, it happened that something happened to happen in Yiguo, and his wife had no support, and his status in the prime minister's mansion plummeted. He knew that the second lady didn't like him, and at a young age, he knew to restrain his edge, pretending that he didn't know anything and didn't understand anything. Only then did he tremble cautiously and tremble, and twelve years passed under the harsh treatment of the second lady. Who would have thought that he would not be able to escape his fate after all! The old woman said slowly, "Now that the little master is gone, the life of the lady will be even more difficult." And Xiangye listened to the second lady's slander, thinking that the second son's leg was because the lady couldn't see her favored, and was jealous, so he asked his subordinates to secretly mutilate. In a fit of anger, Xiangye killed all the relatives brought by his wife from Yiguo, leaving only a few maids and women who did not use martial arts, and placed them under house arrest in this Jingze Garden. That's six years......"

Ye Sheng asked, "Since you are living so unsatisfactorily, why don't you leave?" ”

The old woman smiled, her smile mixed with a little bitterness, "Where are you going?" The country of Yi is gone, no matter how big the world is, there is no place for us to live. After that, she sighed faintly, "Moreover, Emperor Qin is suspicious by nature, at the beginning, he also looked at the face of Xiangye, so he did not execute his wife together." The emperor acts, pays attention to cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and the existence of my wife and I has always been a sharp thorn in the heart of Emperor Qin. Xiangye is willing to take in his wife, but he is not sheltered, all he can do is to be out of sight and out of mind. But as soon as Madame leaves the Prime Minister's Mansion, there will be many emperor's secret guards waiting outside to secretly cut off our heads. ”

"So all these years, Xiangye has also alienated the eldest lady because he doesn't want the emperor to be jealous?" Ye Sheng Nie Mei asked, "In that case, then why didn't he just get rid of the eldest lady himself to show his loyalty to the emperor?" ”

The old woman nodded, shook her head again for a while, and said, "The reason why he didn't do anything to his wife was because he was afraid of the secret weapon in his wife's hand and didn't dare to stop it." And he wanted to get the weapon himself, so he had to keep his wife. Over the years, he has allowed the second lady to bully us, and he is also persecuting Mrs. Di in disguise. ”

Ye Sheng looked up at her, and his voice was cold: "Secret weapon? ”

The old woman flicked the wick again, and then said slowly: "That's right, the secret weapon." It is secretly cultivated by the founding monarch of Yi and passed down from generation to generation by the royal family - Linglong Pavilion. Legend has it that there are three elders in the Linglong Pavilion, and they are also passed down from generation to generation in a martial arts family, and their cultivation is unfathomable, and they have their own expertise in strange techniques such as medical Taoism and poison research. Such an organization with a long history, but undefeated, and with the support of the royal family of Yiguo, can be described as a rich and rival country. What's more, that Linglong Pavilion secretly operates major businesses, and by now, it has almost grasped half of Daqin's economic context. If you get your hands on it, it is equivalent to pocketing this half of the country. How can it not be exciting? ”

"Since this Linglong Pavilion is so powerful, why would the Yi Kingdom be easily destroyed by Great Qin?" Ye Sheng listened, and then asked lightly, without a trace of surprise at hearing the major secret.

The old woman glanced at her in surprise, nodded secretly, and replied: "When the princess of Yiguo married Daqin, the king of Yiguo transferred Linglong Pavilion as a dowry to the most favored princess at that time in order to prevent his beloved daughter from being bullied in the future......" Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, turned her head to look in the direction of the main house, and said with a sigh, "That princess...... is now isolated and neglected. ”

Ye Sheng followed her line of sight and also looked in the direction of the main house, and at this moment, it seemed that she could clearly hear the sound of the woman's heart chanting like water. She kept the posture of raising her eyes and looking into the distance for a long time, before she quietly withdrew her gaze, stared at the dark teacup in her hand, and was silent for a long time before she suddenly laughed, "Why did the old man say this to him?" We've only known each other for an hour, and you just believe in the people below? Aren't you afraid I'll spread this secret tomorrow? ”

"Hehehe, you won't." The old woman stood up on the table, walked towards the bed in three steps, and her voice was slightly hoarse, "You just think that you haven't talked to anyone for too long, and you just say a few more words." As for what you said, you have heard it today and forgotten it tomorrow, so why bother with it? Ye Sheng was just about to answer, but he heard her say leisurely, "It's late at night, and the old body is quite tired." Young man, if you don't dislike it, there are still a few straw mats and straw quilts in the cabinet, and you can spread them yourself for one night! Also, if you're leaving tomorrow, remember to move lightly and don't have to let me know. ”

After saying a word, she kicked the pedal and rubbed on the bed, her movements were slow and staggering, but she ignored Ye Sheng anymore and slept directly with her clothes.

Seeing her like this, Ye Sheng inexplicably felt a little funny, and his deep state of mind suddenly became open and clear. He sat quietly under the lamp for half a column of incense alone, and then gently blew out the candle and took a nap at the table.
