The afternoon sun is bright and clear, Sima Yulou and Jinyi overlook the Lingxi Tower, many official mansions in the east of Jianye City are in full view, exquisite courtyards, green trees are dense and shady, lotus ponds, lakes are dotted in the meantime, because they are far away, the prosperous scene is spread out layer by layer like a picture scroll, and continues to the palace inner garden of the majestic and majestic and gold-roofed palace in the center of the city.

Sima Yulou looked at the golden and endless palace, and asked softly: "Do you suspect that the emperor was jealous of his father, so he secretly instructed Marquis Wei Yuan to poison his father?" ”

Jin Yi didn't speak, only looked back at him silently.

Sima Yulou's expression fluctuated, and he said after a long time: "Uncle Huang doesn't have to be like this, if my father really likes that throne, he just needs to take advantage of the situation back then, how can he plan after giving it up?" ”

He withdrew his gaze from afar, and said in a low voice, "I know that you have always suspected that the emperor secretly ordered the slaughter of Yekang,...... You don't know him, but he is not an ambitious emperor, but a gentle and humble person. The dispute with the former prince back then was also forced to fight back, if he was really an emperor who was good at manipulating the powerful people, he would not sit idly by and watch the current Huan Ting monopolize the military and political power. ”

Jin Yi lowered her eyebrows, still a little unbelieving that the emperor in his mouth was good to the world, for so many years, she had always thought in her heart that the emperor would not be able to escape the matter of Yekang's destruction of the country no matter what.

Sima Yulou touched her eyebrows with his fingers, as if to soothe the doubts in her heart, and told her about the new assassin of Liangzhou, "...... Lin Zheliang recommended He Hongyu, the governor of Liangzhou, to take over the post of assassin, in order to spy on the emperor's mind for Huan Ting, and to see what the emperor's attitude was towards the state capital's implementation of military and political integration. Although the emperor lost his temper at that time, but afterwards he still let He Hongyu do the history of Liangzhou assassination, after the edict was issued, the officials belonging to the southern scholars in the court secretly complained, the right minister said at home that he was sick for half a month and did not go to the court, thinking that he was on the hospital bed and figured out the holy will thoroughly, and in the end he could only watch Huan Ting's strength rise sharply, and there was no way at all. ”

Jin Yi was stunned, the emperor did not want to see the integration of military and government, and handed over government affairs to the people in charge of the army, so he would support the southern scholar clan of the right minister in the court to compete with Huan Ting. Could it be that Huan Ting's current power is so powerful that it can influence the emperor's mind?

couldn't help but worry in his heart, and he had already put aside his suspicion of the emperor, "Then ......, what are your plans now?" ”

"Just relying on Xiao Youdao, who didn't catch it, just increased the doubts in my heart." Sima Yulou said slowly: "Weiyuan Marquis is far away in the northwest, Huan Ting's power is monstrous, and the past is confusing, if my father's death is really related to Huan Ting, I am inseparable from him, but before I find out the truth, I don't want to get involved in the power struggle between him and the right minister." ”

He is not optimistic about Wang Hao, the king of the East China Sea, Sima Jue, is now a little ready to move, and he frequently makes friends with the right, but the prince's position is solid, with the queen dominating the harem alone, and the full support of Huan Ting outside, how can it be easily shaken by an unappreciated prince like the king of the East China Sea? Although Sima Jue is the eldest son of the emperor, he is the king of the two-character county, and the emperor's meaning could not be clearer.

Jin Yi nodded: "You have just attacked the lord, so it's better not to stand in line too early." I think my mother's current thinking is the same, that is, to maintain a harmonious relationship with the northern family, and not to reject the southern family's wooing. ”

Speaking of this, I thought of Yun Hui again, "She has a close relationship with the Huan family now, but she is disdainful of Mrs. Lin. Why didn't her mother tell her this? ”

Sima Yulou smiled indifferently: "Yun Hui has a flamboyant temperament, if I know that Huan Ting has scruples about me, I am afraid that I will immediately turn my face with the daughter of the Huan family, wouldn't it be a surprise." ”

Jin Yi suddenly understood, the concubine didn't know that the two girls were given to Yunhui by Mrs. Man, but she never mentioned it, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and sighed: "I thought that after learning strategy from Mr. Ji for three years, I was already good at observing people's hearts, but compared with my mother, it was still far behind." ”

Sima Yulou's previous depressed mood was buried deep in his heart again, and a smile as clear as the moon appeared on his face again, and he took her into his arms, "You are already very good,...... Sometimes I would rather you be stupid and not so capable, so that you can rely on me all the time, and when there is any trouble, the first thing you think of is me, not bent on going your own way, and delusional about entering the palace as an official. ”

In the end, he grabbed her tall nose with two fingers and pinched it gently.

Jin Yi couldn't help wrinkling his nose, turned his head to the side, and muttered in a low voice: "At that time, you were the prince of the world, how could I afford to climb high?" ”

Sima Yulou buried his head in her neck, sniffed the faint fragrance of flowers on her body, and whispered: "I'd rather I wasn't a prince of the world, just a guest of the rivers and lakes, bent on following you under the pomegranate skirt of a foreign princess, ignoring the grudges in the world, and being a pair of fairy couples wandering the rivers and lakes with you." ”

Jin Yi leaned on his arms, and couldn't help but reverie in his mind, if he didn't have the hatred of the country, he didn't have the grudge of his father, or he was not the princess of Yekang at all, and he was not the prince of the court, the two of them were just ordinary people floating in the rivers and lakes, or hidden in the mountains and wilderness, or lingering in the red dust, free, unrestrained, no intrigue, power disputes, no need to calculate people's hearts, and care about gains and losses, what kind of life should it be?

She sighed, "The only thing people can't choose is their own life experience, the past has been dusted, and it must be swept away layer by layer to reveal the truth." You're just like me, you're a struggling searcher. ”

"At least we have a common clue now,...... Sima Yulou coldly spit out three words: "Wei Yuanhou!" ”

Yekang's destruction of the country and Sima Jun's death, among which there are the figure of Weiyuan Hou Fanning, he lives far away in the northwest, and seems to have no quarrel with the world, if it is said that poisoning Sima Jun is the order of the Duke of Zhenguo, then is it also the meaning of the Duke of Zhenguo to contact the countries of the Western Regions to annex Yekang? If the prince of Zhenguo has a disagreement with the queen, how can he marry his granddaughter to the crown prince?

Jin Yi's thoughts were chaotic, and she couldn't sort it out for a while, so she had to remember from the beginning that the first time she heard about the Marquis of Weiyuan was when she was investigating the private property of the Xu family, and her private property was taken care of by Qin Zhiwu, and the most critical owner of the Yukang Dianxing was the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion.

And Xiao Youdao is a person with treacherous poison and cunning nature, just because Sima Yulou sent someone to investigate Kunyuan Medicine, he immediately disappeared, and when he left, he also laid a sinister mechanism, almost killing Listening to the rain.

It was also because of Qin Zhiwu that this person was tracked down. …… Jin Yi had a faint thought in his heart, Qin Zhiwu was a little not simple.

His status is not high, just the concubine of the Marquis of Qingrong, and his official position is not high, he has been sleek for more than ten years, but he is just a five-grade official position, but he is involved with many big names, the former Liangzhou Thorn Shi is his father-in-law, and now he has climbed up to Huanting's protégé soldier Lang Luo Hai, as well as Xiao Youdao's Lei Tengzhu to him, as well as Wei Yuanhou's pawn in Beijing, these people or things that originally seemed to be unrelated to each other, but they were all related to him.
