Chapter 248: An Unspeakable Secret
Fang Xiaoyu came out of the dining room, and when she saw Ye Xinrou, she wore a pink veil and ran towards her 'whistling'.
Fang Xiaoyu sighed, it was obvious that this was what Ye Xinrou would often do, so she stretched out her palm and directly touched Ye Xinrou's chest, pushing her outward all the time, so that she couldn't touch herself.
Ye Xinrou's arms waved wildly, but unfortunately Fang Xiaoyu's arms were too long, and she couldn't move forward for another half a step, so she couldn't help but pout.
But because she was wearing a veil, she couldn't see it even if she pouted and smiled, so she naturally ignored her 'grievances'.
Finally someone quieted down, Fang Xiaoyu led her into the house, asked Xie Yu to make a pot of tea again, and then asked, "Is your face better?" ”
"With the white jade paste you sent, it's already much better, but you can still see some marks, and it will take a few days to completely heal." Ye Xinrou looked at Fang with burning eyes and said with a smile: "Is there any white jade paste left?" ”
"Isn't it enough to give you two big boxes? There's not much of this stuff, I only kept a box for myself, and I'll give you the rest, so you'll be enough to use it for next year, so what else do you have to do? Fang Xiaoyu said in his heart that he would instruct Xie Yu to keep the box well, so as not to be taken away by Ye Xinrou.
Ye Xinrou laughed twice and said, "When I used it before, I was accidentally seen by the noble people, and the noble people were very envious, so I asked where I got it." The noble lady and the queen mother are of the same heart, she knows, and the queen mother naturally knows. You know, I've been in the palace for so many years, although I have a good relationship with Brother Xici. can also talk to the prince's brother, but he still doesn't have much intersection with the queen's mother, except for the regular greetings during the New Year's holidays. In the eyes of the queen mother, I am afraid that I am no different from those princesses born to other nobles. However, because of your relationship, the queen mother has now allowed me to call her the queen mother, so I thought that since she likes it, if you still have leisure, you can ask for it and give it to the queen mother......"
"I gave you two boxes, and you use one for yourself. Isn't it enough to use the remaining box to please the queen? Fang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes wildly, and said in his heart, why should I contribute money and effort if you use it to sell favors?
"It's a little reluctant." Ye Xinrou bit her lip with a 'hehe' smile. stared at Fang Xiaoyu as if flattering.
"It's useless to look at me. No. Fang Xiaoyu was unmoved.
"Stingy!" Ye Xinrou pouted and glared.
"You are generous, you send it." Fang Xiaoyu turned his face aside and didn't look at her.
Ye Xinrou's eyes were purring, and she suddenly smiled secretly, pulled Fang Xiaoyu's arm, shook and said, "I heard that Li Suqing was assassinated?" ”
"Hmm." Fang Xiaoyu hummed softly.
"Are you dead?" Ye Xinrou's expression of fear that the world would not be chaotic was really full of pleasure.
"Just unconscious. People can't die. Fang Xiaoyu shook his head.
"It's a shame. Why didn't the assassin be a little more ruthless, that kind of person, who died a hundred times, is almost celebrated by the whole world! Ye Xinrou did not hide her disgust with Li Suqing's thoughts. When she was the only one who could speak, she didn't want all the people who bullied her brother to die. Li Suqing has no suspense, and he is the one who bears the brunt.
Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu didn't reply to her, she shook Fang Xiaoyu's arm again and smiled, "I know something that may be useful to you." ”
"What's the matter?" Fang Xiaoyu finally got some interest.
But Ye Xinrou crossed her waist and smiled sinisterly, and said, "If I tell you, the white jade paste ......."
Fang smiled and sighed. The heart said that this bear child learned these tricks from whom? Smiled helplessly, Fang Xiaoyu flicked Ye Xinrou's brain. He said, "If what you say is really useful, just give it to you." ”
Ye Xinrou immediately smiled with a smile on her face, patted Fang Xiaoyu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, who do you think this princess is?" The palace is the territory of this princess! ”
Saying this, Ye Xinrou pulled Fang Xiaoyu to her side and sat down, and said, "Li Suqing was assassinated, there should always be one or two suspicious people in your heart, tell me first." ”
Fang Xiaoyu was just about to open her mouth, but Ye Xinrou took over and said, "It's Ye Xiqian, right?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed, and he asked with a smile: "Why do you say that?" ”
"I've heard Ink Marks say a few words, so I guess you might suspect that Ye Xiqian did it. In addition, before Li Suqing was killed, I had met Ye Xiqian once in the palace, and he gave me a strange impression that time. Ye Xinrou replied.
"Strange impressions? How strange is it? Fang Xiaoyu listened carefully.
Ye Xinrou thought for a while and said, "About two days before Li Suqing was killed, Ye Xiqian entered the palace. I was picking flowers in the garden that day, so I got up early in the morning. ”
"Early in the morning?" Fang Xiaoyu was puzzled. If Ye Xinrou was picking flower dew, it was enough to prove that the sky was not yet bright, and if there was anything important in the early morning, he would run into the palace.
Ye Xinrou nodded and said, "It's really early in the morning, I remember it clearly." At that time, it was just dawn, and it was still a little dark, so Ye Xiqian entered the palace, and he was brought in by Ye Shucheng. ”
Saying that, she hooked Fang Xiaoyu's shoulder and continued: "At that time, Ye Shucheng hooked Ye Xiqian's shoulder like this, and brought him in with a smile. I felt that something was wrong, so I ordered them to follow. According to my people, Ye Xiqian entered Zhou Guifei's palace at that time, and went for a while before he came out, and not long after he came out, my people found Ye Xiqian's expression of not knowing what was happening, and Ye Shucheng took him out of the palace. ”
"In other words, in Zhou Guifei's Palace, something may have happened. At least something that made Ye Xiqian feel dazed? Fang Xiaoyu hadn't thought of what Ye Xinrou had embodied when she said, 'What she said must be useful to her'.
"The fun is right after that. Not long after Ye Xiqian left the palace, Ye Shucheng returned to Zhou Guifei's palace, and about two hours later, Ye Shucheng left the palace. Ye Xinrou said.
"It's normal for him to go out of the palace, his Prince Gong's mansion is located outside the palace, and he no longer has to live in the palace, let alone live in the palace. It's not hard to get out of the palace. Fang Xiaoyu didn't care, what she wanted to hear was the following. She thought, since Ye Xinrou had already said so. Then it shouldn't be untargeted.
"It's really normal for him to leave the palace, but it's not common for Zhou Guifei to leave the palace." Ye Xinrou smiled a little weirdly.
"Zhou Guifei has been out of the palace?" Fang Xiaoyu was startled, but his heart was full of thoughts.
If Concubine Zhou had been out of the palace, it was said that her people would have come to report to her on such an important matter, but she didn't receive any news, is there anything hidden in this?
"Why is it just out of the palace?" Ye Xinrou said a little proudly: "The concubines of the harem are not as easy as us princes and princesses to get out of the palace on weekdays. Marrying into the inner courtyard of the deep palace, many nobles have never left the palace wall again in their lives. What's more, when the concubine leaves the palace, it takes a long time to prepare the honor guard in the palace. How could no one know about such a big battle? ”
"Indeed." Fang Xiaoyu nodded.
"It is a rare thing for a concubine to leave the palace. But the concubine disguised herself as a little eunuch and followed her son out of the palace, don't you think this is a miracle? Ye Xinrou seemed to have discovered something particularly interesting, and she smiled happily than before.
"Dressed as a little eunuch and followed Ye Shucheng out of the palace?" Fang Xiaoyu's face was a little weird.
Ye Xinrou nodded frantically, indicating that what she said was not half false.
"She's a dignified concubine. If you want to get out of the palace. You can go to ask the emperor, get permission to leave the palace, and go out with a swagger, why pretend to be a little eunuch and follow Ye Shucheng out of the palace? is so sneaky, it is enough to see that when she left the palace this time, she had something unsavory to do at that time. Otherwise, she can pretend to be someone else, and there is no need for her to risk herself as a dignified concubine. Fang Xiaoyu suddenly felt funny. said: "So, maybe I figured out the reason why Zhou Guifei left the palace." There will be unexpected gains. ”
"I know why." Ye Xinrou smiled smugly again at this time. She just likes to see Fang Xiaoyu's deflated expression, she knows what Fang Xiaoyu doesn't know, how refreshing this is.
So without waiting for Fang to ask with a smile, she continued: "Since such an obvious flaw has been discovered by my people, how can I let go of such a suspicious thing and ignore it. So my people followed all the way out of the palace, and fell far behind them, because they were afraid that they would be discovered by being too close, so they were a little far away, and they couldn't hear what they were saying. But after leaving the palace, Ye Shucheng and Zhou Guifei, who pretended to be a little eunuch, went to see someone after that. ”
Ye Xinrou paused at this time, and then reminded: "You also know this person they saw." After speaking, he stopped talking, as if waiting for Fang Xiaoyu to guess.
Fang Xiaoyu touched his chin and thought for a few breaths, and suddenly said, "Ye Xiqian? ”
"It's not fun! You can always easily guess. Ye Xinrou lost interest for a while, but seeing that Fang Xiaoyu was brewing a huge roll of eyes for her, she smiled and continued: "Ye Xiqian just went out of the palace for two hours, and he has been talking about entering the palace for a long time before, and he still has to go out of the palace in disguise before he finishes talking about it, and she still has to go out of the palace in disguise, and she also went to a very remote and difficult to find place, and went into the house to talk for nearly an hour before coming out. After coming out, she and Ye Shucheng parted ways with Ye Xiqian, and then went back to the palace directly. ”
"She went back to the palace directly and didn't go anywhere else, which means that the purpose of her leaving the palace was just to meet Ye Xiqian......" Fang Xiaoyu fell into thought.
Although Ye Xiqian is a concubine, he is the son of King An after all. King An is the emperor's younger brother, so Ye Xiqian is also a relative of the emperor.
If he wants to enter the palace, it is not difficult, just hand over a sign. Even if the emperor doesn't like him anymore, he will more or less give King An a face.
Such a Ye Xiqian, even if he went to see Zhou Guifei, it was nothing, after all, everyone outside thought that Ye Shilan liked Ye Shucheng's madness, and Ye Xiqian didn't go out to party with Ye Shucheng on weekdays, coupled with the situation in Anwangfu, Ye Xici's heart was to the prince, and Li Suqing was Ye Xici's mother-killing enemy, for his own sake, Ye Xiqian's refuge in the second prince was also human nature in the eyes of outsiders.
In that case, what can't be said in the palace? Do you have to go out of the palace and then find another place to sneakily say?
There are ears on the partition wall in the palace...... Therefore, some things cannot be said casually, for fear of being heard. In this way, is there anything to talk about between Zhou Guifei and Ye Xiqian that can't be heard?
"Did your people say that when Zhou Guifei met Ye Xiqian after leaving the palace, Ye Shucheng was not there?" Fang Xiaoyu suddenly thought of something.
"Yes, it's Ye Xiqian who he took Zhou Guifei to see, Ye Shucheng has been there from beginning to end." Ye Xinrou replied in the affirmative.
"In this way, this ulterior secret is at least not shy away from Ye Shucheng......" Fang Xiaoyu always felt as if he had caught something sparkling.
"Did they leave with anything in their hands?" Fang Xiaoyu asked again.
Ye Xinrou shook her head and said, "I didn't hear that they were holding anything in their hands. But my people followed Ye Xiqian, and after discovering Ye Xiqian, his expression was a little trance, and there was nothing special about it. ”
"How? How will it work for you? Ye Xinrou had a puppy expression begging for praise.
"Some of the usefulness may explain something I couldn't figure out." Fang Xiaoyu nodded, if her previous assumptions were true, then this meeting might have filled in some of the loopholes that were originally a little unreasonable.
"That'...... The white jade paste ......" Ye Xinrou wagged her little tail wildly.
Fang Xiaoyu was helpless, got up and threw a box of unused white jade paste in the cabinet to Ye Xinrou, Ye Xinrou was so happy that even the veil couldn't hide her smile.
Ye Xinrou didn't stay too long before leaving to go back to the palace. In her words, since she got the white jade paste, she naturally wanted to enter the palace to please the queen, anyway, she could come to the palace at any time, and she was not in a hurry to find Fang Xiaoyu to play for a while.
Not long after sending Ye Xinrou away, Ye Xici came back.
In order not to be annoyed by Ye Xinrou, after finishing the meal, he walked around the house, took a walk, and then returned to the room.
Today, the emperor is not in court, and the prince has nothing to do with him, he can stay at home all day to accompany Fang and laugh.
"Xinrou is gone?" Ye Xici saw that Ye Xinrou didn't seem to be there, and asked casually.
"Let's go, take a box of white jade paste from me, and bring it back to the palace to please the queen." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Ye Xici also laughed, Ye Xinrou could make the queen like it, and he was also happy in his heart.
"What, what useful news did she say?" Ye Xici was still thinking about what Fang Xiaoyu had said during the meal. He remembered that she said that Ye Xinrou had something to tell her, and she made it mysterious.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "I said." And this news is really useful. Perhaps, I probably know what the meaning of Ye Xiqian's abnormal words is. ”
"Oh?" Ye Xici's eyes lit up. He had huge doubts about the fact that Ye Xiqian was not Li Suqing's biological son. (To be continued.) )
