"Pavilion Master." Gong Er hurriedly came up, walked to Gong Yuchen's side and whispered: "The things that the pavilion master wanted his subordinates to check before have found it." ”

Gong Yuchen raised his eyebrows, glanced back at the private room at the end of the lobby, sighed with some regret, and said: "It seems that this seat does not have the blessing to meet the first prostitute in Jinling." Let's go back first. ”

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

The group got up and went downstairs, and after a long while, Zi Yan walked out of it with someone. Before he reached the staircase, he was stopped by Xiao Er in the store, "But Miss Yan?" Zi Yan was stunned, turned around and nodded slightly: "Exactly." Xiao Er held a letter and said, "There is just a distinguished guest who asked Xiao to pass this letter to the girl." ”

A black envelope with a golden pattern looks a little weird, not like a letter to a reminder post. Zi Yan's heart trembled, and she quietly stretched out her hand to take it and said, "Thank you, little second brother." The little girl behind her cleverly rewarded the little second brother with a few dollars of broken silver, and the little second brother suddenly turned around and left with a smile. Although he felt a little strange to give such an unlucky thing at first glance, it was obviously worth it to look at the silver bounty.

"Girl." The little girl also saw the letter and whispered.

Zi Yan looked calm, but the plain hand hidden under the sleeve turned a little pale, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it later." ”

"Yes." The little girl nodded.

Zi Yan thought about it, but still ordered: "Immediately order everyone to retreat." The new contact information will be back and waiting for notification. ”

"Yes, girl."

Back at the Right Squire's Mansion, Gong Yuchen sat behind the bookcase and played with the jade pendant in his hand and asked, "Tell me, what is the origin of this thing?" ”

Gong Er said in a deep voice: "The pavilion master said that he was a little familiar with this jade pendant, and his subordinates ordered someone to secretly check the mansions in Jinling City, and there was no such jade pendant. No one in any jewelry store has ever made such a pendant. And this jade pendant is engraved with a phoenix pattern, which should be owned by the royal family. ”

Gong Yuchen glanced at him lightly, "When did you talk so much nonsense?" He naturally knew that this was owned by everyone in the royal family, and she was the granddaughter of Princess Changping, and it was not too much to fall down with this jade. But this is obviously not a newly carved jade pendant, the shape is so strange, and it makes him feel familiar, which makes Gong Yuchen want to know the origin of this jade pendant even more. Gong Yuchen had a hunch in his heart that the origin of this jade pendant was very important.

Gong Er hurriedly said: "The subordinates know their mistakes. According to the age of this jade pendant, the subordinates have checked a few people who may have given the jade pendant to Miss Xiaoxiao. This is an extremely rare piece of the best mutton fat white jade, which was awarded to King Yan by the emperor thirty years ago. But it wasn't just a small piece at the time. King Yan found the best jade carver at that time to carve two jade pendants. This is a sample drawing from that time. ”

It's not easy to find these things from thirty years ago in just a few days. It can only be that the jade carver is still alive back then, otherwise it is really not easy to find. Gong Yuchen took it and opened it, it was an irregular round jade pendant, the top was carved with a flying dragon, and the bottom was carved with a phoenix. In addition to a pair of dragons and phoenixes, the jade pendant is also carved with many auspicious fairy grasses and flowers. The reverse side is also engraved with the words Changle Ankang. Gong Yuchen turned over the jade pendant in his hand, and sure enough, he saw the word Changle hidden under the flowers on the back. Presumably, the other half of the jade pendant on the word Ankang should be yang.

"King Yan's?" Gong Yuchen squinted, "Since it's a couple, why didn't the other piece be given to Wei Jingshao?" “

Gong Er was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who Wei Jingshao was. Shaking his head, he said, "Another jade pendant should still be in King Yan's hand." The jade carver said that this pair of jade pendants was a very proud work in his life, and it was only because he promised King Yan that he would not carve the same style in the future, so he had been obscure. As for the pavilion master, it is familiar... The jade carver said that when the prince in the palace gets married, most of the emperors will give such a pair of jade pendants to the newlyweds. Although the forms are not exactly the same, they are all dragons and phoenixes, plus auspicious fairy grass. For the prince, it is a wedding gift, and for the princess, it is also a status symbol of the princess. The reason why King Yan carved such a pair of jade pendants back then was because he and the princess got married early, and many new rules in Daxia had not yet been established. Therefore, the previous extremely imperial concubines, including the crown princess, did not have such jade pendants. It happened that King Yan received a reward from His Majesty, so he asked His Majesty to allow him to carve a one-to-one pattern and give it to the princess. This is not a big deal, the first emperor naturally did not disagree, and the first queen was also very happy that her son and daughter-in-law had a harmonious relationship, and personally ordered the jade carver to carve the jade pendant. Several other princes followed suit. The pavilion master feels familiar, he must have seen it in the hands of the prince or princess, right? “

Gong Yuchen thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thinking about it, it seems that a few years ago, I saw Xiao Qianye's queen wearing such a jade pendant. It's just that it's not like Xiaoxiao when the jade pendant is hung around the neck, but decorated with delicate silk and tied with a beautiful tie and hung around the waist. At a glance, I only felt that the style was novel, but I didn't pay attention to it.

But..."Since it is a relic of Princess Yan and represents the identity of the princess, shouldn't it be in the hands of the current step-concubine of King Yan?" ”

Gong Er shook his head and said, "This... It seems that it is only for the concubine, and who the concubine wants to pass on is all voluntary, and others can't care. According to the investigation of his subordinates, the jade pendant of the current queen mother was given to the queen, and the queen's jade pendant was given to the eldest prince, Princess Ning, who also died early, and the jade pendant was not returned to King Ning, but Princess Ning gave it to her mother before she died. Princess Zhou passed the jade pendant to the youngest county lord. "Although it is said to represent the identity of the princess, it must be that the person who wears this jade pendant is the princess. That's not the gold medal order arrow that sees the token like seeing the emperor. Although Gong Yuchen only asked to find out the origin of the jade pendant, as an excellent subordinate, Gong Er still found out many things related to this jade pendant clearly, so as not to know if the pavilion master asked.

Gong Yuchen rubbed the jade pendant, raised his eyes to look at Gong Er and asked, "Princess Yan's jade pendant was given to Nangong Mo's daughter by King Yan, what do you think about this?" ”

Gong Er was a little puzzled, "This... Yan Wang Su came to see the prince of Chongwei and the county lord of Xingcheng, and it was not strange to send a jade pendant to Miss Yao. ”

Gong Yuchen snorted lightly and said, "It wouldn't be strange if he even gave that piece of dragon pendant together." ”

"......" seems a little strange, who only gives half of the gift? Could it be that King Yan only likes to die but doesn't like An An, this doesn't make sense.

Gong Yuchen waved his hand and said, "That's it, this seat knows." You go down first. ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired." Gong Er said respectfully, turned around and retreated.

Gong Yuchen sat alone in the study, playing with the small and delicate jade pendant in his hand and pondering, "Could it be that this seat is thinking too much?" "No, he's always trusted his instincts. Although he doesn't rely on intuition, there is always something wrong with anything or someone he feels is wrong. For example, he thought that Wei Junmo and Zixiao Hall would become his trouble, and for example, when he saw Nangong Mo for the first time, he found it interesting. It's just a small jade pendant......

Gong Yuchen lowered his eyes, his face was calm, but his mind was running rapidly.

Dragon and phoenix jade pendant, Yan Princess, 夭夭, Yan Wang... Wei Junmo...

Princess Yan had a miscarriage and died early... Wei Jun is unfavorable, Princess Changping and King Jingjiang... Wei Junmo's eyes...

Gong Yuchen searched in his mind for a long time, and the purple-eyed man... It is definitely not an ordinary person who can make Princess Changping look at, and purple eyes are rare even for foreigners. There is not one... The mother concubine of King Yan and Princess Changping is an interracial woman. Princess Changping was the daughter of the former emperor, and she had a good relationship with the king of Jingjiang at that time, unless there was an accident, she could not have a relationship with other men, let alone a man of different races. At that time... And what interracial man would dare to disadvantage the princess in the imperial city? Wei Hongfei, this idiot!

The more he thought about it, Gong Yuchen's heart couldn't help beating two beats faster.

Wei Junmo's life experience... In troubled times, the country changed hands...

"Bump!" There was a loud noise in the study, and Gong Er outside the door was startled, and hurriedly pushed the door open, "Pavilion master?!" But he saw Gong Yuchen sitting firmly behind the bookcase, but the ruthlessness on his gloomy face was almost turning into substance. The teacups and inkstones that had been placed in front of them were swept to the ground, and they were generally in disarray. If it weren't for the fact that the pavilion master was now completely lost, he was afraid that the entire study would be destroyed by him.

"Pavilion Master?"

Gong Yuchen said coldly: "It's okay, go out!" ”

"Yes, Pavilion Master." Gong Er hurriedly retreated and closed the door again.

Inside the door, Gong Yuchen's eyes were full of gloom, "What a Yan King, what a Wei Junmo!" It seems that it is time to redeploy. Preparation before... As if that weren't enough. ”

"Big bad, what's wrong with you?"

In the secret room, Xiao Xiao looked at Gong Yuchen with wide eyes and a gloomy face, and his eyes were complicated. Of course, she didn't understand what complicated eyes were, she just thought the big bad guy was weird today.

Gong Yuchen picked her up and put her on his lap, pinched her little face, looked left and right, and shook his head. Unhappily pulled his hand down and waited for him unhappily. Gong Yuchen raised his eyebrows, "Little thing, you don't have the courage to laugh." Did you learn what I taught you yesterday? ”

Blinked, "No." ”

"No, let's hear it."

"Not really." Why did she learn what calculations and what people's hearts? It's not tasty. It's better to play with Feifei and Bai. Remembering that he hadn't seen Feifei and Ah Bai for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh. Gong Yuchen raised her hand and knocked on her little head, "What is the child sighing for?" ”

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "You won't understand." ”

The corners of Gong Yuchen's mouth couldn't help twitching, "Since you are so stupid, I will ask Gong Jiu to read it to you every day in the future, and if you don't understand, you will memorize it for me." ”

Xiao Xiao's face suddenly collapsed, "I don't like to read." ”

"Your mother is a talented girl, you don't like to read?" Gong Yuchen said. Xiaoxiao made a grimace and said: "It's not a pinch, my mother secretly told me that she can't compose poetry, and she hates people the most." ”

"Oh? Didn't you still remember a few days ago "looking up at the roof and looking down at your father"? Didn't your mother teach me? Gong Yuchen raised his eyebrows. Xiao Xiao glared angrily, "Look up to the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown!" Clumsy! ”

Gong Yuchen pinched her little face, "No matter what you think, if you don't learn well, be careful that I will starve your brother Qiao." ”

"Big bad!" Aggrieved and aggrieved.

"Didn't you keep calling me the big badass, and now you know?" Gong Yuchen didn't care, and raised his eyebrows.

He fell from his lap and crawled to the side with his back to him without speaking. Gong Yuchen didn't care about him, and lowered his head to think about his own affairs. Thinking of his speculation not long ago, Gong Yuchen's mood couldn't be better. Although it has not been confirmed, Gong Yuchen is at least seventy or eighty percent sure of his speculation.

The child couldn't be idle, and after a while, she saw that no one paid attention to her, and she couldn't help but look back at Gong Yuchen. Seeing that Gong Yuchen was thinking about something gloomily, he pursed his lips. The big bad guy must have been thinking about hurting people again, and sighed a little melancholy.

Gong Yuchen raised his head and glanced at him lightly.

Pretending to be old, he raised his hand and patted him and said, "My mother said that it is easy to get old if you think too much, you are not good like this, not good." ”

Gong Yuchen couldn't help but be happy, "It seems that this seat has not raised you for so many days, and I still know how to care about this seat." ”

"...... "Hehe, stupid big villain."

The people of the Water Pavilion and the Zixiao Hall outside Jinling City and inside Jinling City experienced a similar tragic fate at the same time. In Jinling City, Gong Yuchen suddenly ordered to kill the spies of Zixiao Hall in the city. Although Zi Yan ordered a retreat in advance, the losses were still not small. Outside the city, the people of the Zixiao Hall also carried out a merciless sweep of the Water Pavilion forces. Near Jinling and even farther away, almost all the forces in the Water Pavilion who were found out were attacked, and they were beaten bitterly by the people of Zixiao Hall who had been angry these days.

Comparatively, it was naturally the water pavilion that suffered a greater loss. Almost all places in the Water Pavilion except Jinling were spared. But in terms of important Cheng Dù, it is the Zixiao Palace that is a little more tragic. Because everyone's attention is now on Jinling, Jinling is the most important battlefield. But in Jinling City, the Water Pavilion with the support of the imperial court and the military is obviously only on the top.

Late at night, Ying Tianfu Yin He Wenli was woken up by the housekeeper, and got up with a little anger to hear people. If it was an ordinary time, He Wenli in the middle of the night would never get up to meet guests, but the other party had a token of Lin Changfeng, and He Wenli had to pay attention to it. As long as he thought of the bad friend who was said to have saved his life, Lord He couldn't help but want to complain countless times, "I knew you were so bad, it was better to let this official die." Eighteen years later, he is a good man again. ”

Finally, Lin Changfeng hasn't reached home yet, and no matter what has happened in the past few years, he has not contacted him. Otherwise, he didn't know if he could continue to do it in this position of Ying Tianfu Yin.

"Who's on the big night...? Purple and purple girls? Seeing the people waiting in the side hall, He Wenli couldn't help but be stunned. Although he is an official, he does not like fishing. But the No. 1 prostitute in Jinling, who was in the limelight in the past two years, and Zi Yan, who even Lou Xinyue's limelight was suppressed, he still met twice. It's only in the last two years that Zi Yan has gradually fallen silent, but I don't know how Zi Yan can appear here at this time, and she still carries Lin Changfeng's token. He Wenli suddenly remembered that Zi Yan's lawsuit with that Ruan Fan back then seemed to have Lin Changfeng's hands and feet. Thinking of this, Lord He couldn't help but twitch.

Zi Yan was wearing a cloth dress, with no fat powder, and she looked a little less charming than usual but a little more delicate.

"I've seen Lord He." Zi Yan was slightly blessed and said softly.

He Wenli nodded and said, "The girl is polite, I don't know that the girl came here late at night... So what's going on? "After all, He Wenli is an official of the imperial court, and it is not suitable for him to have a close relationship with a woman in the dust, let alone at this ambiguous time. Of course, He Wenli also understood that Zi Yan came to the door with Lin Changfeng's token, and it was definitely not for Fengyue's business. Definitely... I'm going to pit the official again. Lord He thought with some sadness.

Zi Yan was also a little embarrassed, coming to He Wenli at this time was definitely causing trouble to others, and it was a huge trouble.

"Changfeng Gongzi once said that if there is anything urgent, you can ask Lord He for help." Zi Yan said: "Zi Yan has caused some trouble, and I want to ask Lord He to find a place to avoid it." ”

And so it was.

He Wenli was not surprised, but asked, "Can you ask below, who did the girl provoke?" ”

Zi Yan smiled slightly and pointed in the direction of the palace.

Lord He couldn't help but stroke his forehead, Zi Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "And... Water Pavilion Lord, adults know. ”

I didn't know it, but now I know. During this time, the Water Pavilion acted quite flamboyantly in Jinling, and there was no longer the secret and prudence it used to be. How could He Wenli, as Ying Tianfu Yin, not know? He Wenli looked at Zi Yan and thought for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, I'm just afraid... I'm going to wronged the girl. ”

Zi Yan shook her head and said, "It's already a fluke to be able to save your life, what's the grievance?" ”

He Wenli nodded and said, "It's good that the girl understands it." ”

He Wenli called the housekeeper, the housekeeper was his confidant, and the family was in He Wenli's hands, so he didn't have to worry about anything. I just asked carefully if I knew about Zi Yan's arrival. The housekeeper can become He Wenli's henchman, and naturally he has some skills, and when he found out that Zi Yan's identity was unusual, he immediately went to look at the concierge who was in charge of guarding the door tonight. After replying to He Wenli's questions one by one, He Wenli nodded with satisfaction and said, "Put this... Send him to prison. ”

"Huh?" The steward was stunned for a while, and for a while he didn't understand what his adults thought. Could it be that this girl has offended an adult?

He Wenli snorted lightly and said: "The girl in the mansion stole her official things with unclean hands and feet, and threw them into the cell to learn a lesson." Throw it over early tomorrow morning. "Yingtianfu Yamen and He Wenli's house are connected. The cell is also next to Hefu, but it is not a problem.

Zi Yan was also stunned, and soon smiled and arched her hand: "In this way, it's annoying Lord He." ”

He Wenli snorted lightly and said, "This official will collect the account with Lin Changfeng!" ”

Seeing that the emperor was going to die, although he was an official in the court, he had no intention of repaying the king. Although there is a risk in taking Zi Yan in, this risk is worth gambling, in case he loses the bet, it can only mean that he is unlucky.
