Chapter 207: Tracking
Yan Qingyun was in the dust, there were a lot of vicissitudes than more than a year ago, when he saw Cui Keyin, he grabbed two steps and saluted: "I've seen the princess." ”
When she joined Cui Keyin's door that day, she really didn't expect that she would become the princess of Jin. That day, I heard that he had become a woman's staff, and many friends secretly laughed at him. Now, these people are envious. As the saying goes, learning to become a literary and martial artist and selling it to the emperor's family, although he was unsatisfactory in the imperial examination and could not be admitted to the official ranks, he was more proud of serving by the side of the princess of Jin than in the officialdom.
Cui Keyin returned the salute and said, "Sir, please get up." Mr. has worked hard all the way, first go to the guest room to rest, and then talk about the investigation tomorrow. ”
For more than a year, it has been really difficult for him to run around on the road.
Yan Qingyun saw that Cui Keyin was not in a hurry to ask him if he had traced who Cui Zhenjing had befriended before his death, but had found out the cause of Cui Zhenjing's death, but let him rest first, and his heart was moved, and said: "Your subordinates are not tired, tell the princess about the situation first." ”
Cui Keyin motioned for him to sit down, asked someone to serve tea and snacks, and said, "Sir, please speak." ”
Sitting down, Yan Qingyun looked at Cui Keyin again, and saw that she was more ruddy than when she was a girl, and her gestures were more calm, her eyes fell on her bulging abdomen, and she stood up suddenly, and said in surprise: "The princess is pregnant with Liujia?" ”
Cui Keyin habitually stroked her abdomen with her hand and nodded with a smile.
In the correspondence, Cui Keyin did not mention that she was pregnant.
Yan Qingyun said happily: "It must be the blessing of the three masters in the sky." It's good to be pregnant, it's good to be pregnant. ”
As long as a concubine is born, the position of the concubine will be stable.
Cui Keyin smiled and said, "Sir, please take a seat." ”
As a staff member. From the perspective of interests, he knows better the meaning of the child in Cui Keyin's womb. However, of course, Cui Keyin is not thinking about this, this is her child, her and Zhou Heng's first child, she hopes that he will be well.
Yan Qingyun's tired face regained its brilliance, as if running around for more than a year was nothing, and he was full of energy, and said, "Do you still remember the people who got close to the third master in Beijing back then?" ”
"Of course I do. Isn't it Tonghua, Yuan Qiong, and Guo Ziming. Liuzhou Qi Shouren, is Haozhou Xue Ping'an? The names of these four people often appear in Cui Keyin's mind. She had thought about it countless times, these four people. Who has anything to do with Cui Zhenjing's death? Or are they all related?
Yan Qingyun said: "Yes." The princess has a good memory. Yuan Qiong, Qi Shouren, and Xue Ping'an were promoted in the same department in the year of the death of the third master. Guo Ziming failed the list, and took the exam for two more sessions before he was admitted to the Jinshi. Now these four men are officials in various places. One by one, the subordinates went to their place where they were officials and talked to them.
Fortunately at the other three, not long after Xue Ping'an came out, his subordinates were stabbed, but fortunately a woman rescued her and hid her subordinates in her home. Otherwise, the subordinates and the princess would have already gone on different paths. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Qingyun pointed to his chest and said, "It's just a little bit, and my subordinates will die." ”
A foreigner died on the road, only afraid that the bones would turn into mud, and no one knew that it was him.
Cui Keyin got up and saluted him upright, and said, "Mr. was burdened by me and almost died in Huangquan, please accept my worship." ”
Yan Qingyun got up and returned the salute and said, "It's also that my subordinates were too careless, thinking that they were just coming out to eat and didn't bring guards." ”
Cui Keyin allocated twenty people to him, one to protect him, and the other to be responsible for delivering the news. Cui Keyin had received the assassination of him, but the short sentence was different from his face-to-face description.
Cui Keyin sighed: "Presumably it was Xue Ping'an's hand back then, and Mr. went to see him as a friend of the deceased, and he startled the snake." ”
"The princess is right." Yan Qingyun said: "But I still went to Qi Shouren and talked to him, focusing on inquiring about Xue Ping'an." They also exchanged letters, and according to Qi Shouren, Xue Ping'an had not been promoted for many years and planned to follow Wang Zhe's path. Presumably at this time, it has been elevated. ”
With such a character, it is really not strange to take the road of Wang Zhemen. Cui Keyin asked, "Sir, can you find any clues?" ”
According to Qi Shouren, Xue Ping'an asked him and the third master to go to Chaobai River to play, and he agreed. But it was cold that night, and he couldn't get up the next day, so he had to ask the scholar to talk to Xue Ping'an and the third master, and go back in the future. Later, when he heard that the third master had an accident, he was startled, and dragged the sick body to the Chaobai River ferry to see, only to see the white waves surging, where is the shadow of the third master? Yan Qingyun said: "His subordinates think that he is not lying. At that time, the third master had an accident, and everyone was busy salvage, and no one noticed anything wrong with Xue Ping'an. Moreover, Xue Ping'an is also Xie Yuan, and he thinks very highly of himself, but he was once pressed by the third master at the poetry meeting. ”
When Cui Keyin heard this, tears fell in her eyes, her father didn't understand that people were too sinister and careless. Each province has a solution yuan, but each subject has only one champion. If Xue Ping'an has the heart to fight for the champion, he will have the motive to harm Cui Zhenjing.
"What is Xue Ping'an's ranking?" Cui Keyin wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said in a nasal voice.
Yan Qingyun obviously thought of it as well, and sneered: "Thirty-eighth." ”
is not the first champion, the second place is the eye, but it is the 38th place in the second class in the examination. Cui Keyin smiled, only to feel very happy, and said, "The examiner really didn't see the wrong person. ”
"Not really." Yan Qingyun also smiled and said, "According to his own words, he was too nervous when he entered the examination room, his performance was abnormal, and his strategy was not well written. ”
I'm afraid it's not that I'm too nervous and out of order, but that I'm restless after drowning Cui Zhenjing, so that I can't play well.
Cui Keyin got up and saluted again: "Thanks to Mr. for finding out this matter for me, where is Xue Ping'an now an official, just wait for me to ask my uncle." Mr. first went to the guest room to rest, and waited for me to clean the courtyard for Mr. to stay. ”
Explaining the situation, Yan Qingyun finally let out a long breath, thanked him, and retreated.
Cui Keyin returned to the Purple Smoke Pavilion and sat alone on the chair by the window for a long time, until it was getting dark, and Zhou Heng walked in.
Emperor An has issued an edict, and when the palace gate is locked, leave a corner door for Zhou Heng to enter and exit, so that he can correct and fold at night, and now the key to the small corner door is here in Zhou Heng. It's just that Cui Keyin's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and Zhou Heng can't rest assured, so he left the palace when the palace door was locked, and only brought some music back to the house for correction.
"What are you thinking, thinking so distractedly?" Zhou Heng sat beside Cui Keyin and asked softly.
He said a word or two, Cui Keyin didn't seem to hear it, he didn't want to frighten her, so he had to sit quietly beside her.
It was completely dark, and Cui Keyin was still immersed in her own world and did not come back to her senses. Zhou Heng asked people to take charge of the lamp, went to change clothes, and came back, only to see Cui Keyin asking, "Is the prince back?" ”
Zhou Heng said: "What are you thinking, thinking so intently, there is still a sad look on your face?" ”
What's upset? (To be continued......)
