Chapter Fifty-Nine: Settlement (Part II)

The uneasy mood surged up like a river overturning the sea.

Xingzhao lifted the skirt, raised his eyes, the spring was bright, and the Qincun courtyard everywhere revealed a trace of clumsy, peaceful and restrained taste, the previous time, there was something hidden in his heart, this time, he still had something hidden in his heart, and the spring of many things was destined to be in vain.

Xingzhao will walk to the door of Qincun Courtyard, and he heard the sound of Suo Suo in the bushes on both sides, too, how can there be no heavy guards outside the study room of Lin'an in the past dynasties. Xingzhao knew in his heart that He Yan already knew that she was coming.

He Yan's rare indulgence and unusual patience made her decide to calm down and give it a go.

After a while, Mr. Bai came out of the blue brick path, which was a very high courtesy.

"Is my father on the agenda?" Xing Zhao saw that Manager Bai took her to the study, raised his face, and asked in a clear voice.

Manager Bai didn't answer, he bowed his body more and more, and sped up his footsteps, but while walking, he remembered He Yan's deep groan and final decision when he heard the secret guard come to report, and remembered that He Yan drank alone last night, looking at the wine cup and saying softly, "In the next generation of the He family, only Ah Yan is the most like me", He Yan thought he didn't hear it, but he heard it really.

Xingzhao saw that he did not answer, and he stopped speaking.

Xingzhao was thinking about what to say in his heart, but when he heard a "squeak", the door of the study was opened widely, He Yan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and the study of Qincun Courtyard was sitting north and facing south, but it couldn't get sunlight, it was very dark inside, and there was no light at all, only a puddle in front of the window lattice turned with a little light.

"Fatherβ€”" Xingzhao called softly.

He Yan was stunned, and slowly turned around, only the left side of his face could be seen. The rest of the place was submerged in darkness, and he raised his hand and beckoned Xingzhao: "You can sit down." Listen to your mother say that you have a sweet tooth, bring a cup of plum cheese. Another plate of iced mandarin ducks. ”

Iced mandarin duck is half black rice, half glutinous rice, mixed with some preserved fruits, shreds, almonds and peanuts, steamed half-cooked and then take the water to spew, fry the icing to sprinkle on the top, and the eight treasure rice is somewhat similar, but much more complicated than the eight treasure rice.

He Yan also had something to say to her.

Mr. Bai agreed to his promise. The cheese was brought up first, and the door was closed tightly, leaving only the father and daughter in the study.

Xingzhao thought in his heart, moved a brocade pier with his hands and feet to sit against him, and looked up at He Yan, his mood was very complicated. This man gave her life, but ruined her mother, what is hidden in his heart? Did he use or did he use or did he have true feelings? As for the eldest lady, although disgusted. But he also maintained it, and he also made face for her.

Seeing Xingzhao standing obediently, He Yan had no choice but to speak first: "Do you know all those rumors and rumors outside?" ”

There is only this reason. can let the young girl come to Qincun Courtyard alone to find him.

They are all smart people, Xing Zhao nodded lightly, and looked at He Yan with big apricot eyes: "Mother is worried that my uncle is so worried that people can't see clearly." I recognized my brother as my uncle, and my hair fell out all over the hall. Ah Yu didn't know that people's hearts could be so bad - the Fang family has been loyal to martyrs for generations. The grandfather died on the battlefield, and half of the tablets in the Fang family ancestral hall died on the frontier. The Fang family and the Tartars have a common enmity, and there are even people who can be ruthless enough to frame them. What is the difference between my uncle's current situation and Yue Fei, who is loyal to the country? ”

Straight to the point, although Xingzhao was not sure whether this matter was a fabrication or groundless, but in the face of He Yan, she chose the most encouraging guess.

He Yan groaned, and he only found out about the young girl's early wisdom, turned his head and thought about it carefully, and was calm and calm in dealing with Jing Ge'er's matter, and provoked him to go to the bureau of the face saint early to strategize, and now he directly opened his mouth to characterize the matter as a slander, forcing him to find out who was behind the scenes, and he seemed very happy, and it was a pity that Xingzhao was not a man. He Yan prides himself on not being a persecuted personality, but in the face of the young girl's ingenuity, he can't lose his temper.

He had been investigating this matter since the day before yesterday, and now he already had some eyebrows, but the results that could be found out made him frightened, and he couldn't let Xingzhao know.

"The Fang family has been running the northwest for generations, and they are in charge of the heavy army, and their power is not exposed, and it is normal for someone in the imperial city to want to bite off a piece of meat from the back of the Fang family's neck and beat their family's idea." He Yan avoided the important and trivialized, hid half of the answer, and said: "Dingjing City is far away from the northwest, and the people don't know what the war situation is, and the selfish and unwilling to admit that the rich and powerful Great Zhou was forced to be like this by the Tartars, so he found a scapegoat with his own opinion. ”

Xingzhao clenched his fists, his expression was obscure, He Yan said it very reasonably, but he didn't come up with substantive words, it was clear that he was perfunctory to her.

Under her thoughts, she actually omitted the extremely important two words "Imperial City", He Yan had a cautious personality, but she didn't say the capital, she didn't say the capital, but she said the imperial city

"As long as my father is willing to believe and the saint is willing to believe, when my uncle returns triumphantly, there will always be a day when the water will come out. Didn't Qin Hui finally kneel in front of Yue Wang Temple? Xingzhao couldn't ask anything intuitively, so he had to test it with such words.

As soon as He Yan raised his eyebrows, the light moved from his shining eyes to the bridge of his straight nose, a man in his thirties, with a calm and ambitious temperament, Xingzhao seemed to understand what the eldest lady and Ying Yi would do like a moth to a fire, and he was desperate.

"I want to believe it, as for whether the emperor wants to believe it or not, I don't dare to figure out the Sacred Heart without permission." He Yan looked at the petite young girl, and couldn't believe that he had spent so much time rubbing against her, how smart could a seven or eight-year-old lady be no matter how smart she was? No matter how smart he is, he can't take over the He family and continue the lintel.

He Yan suddenly felt ridiculous and tasteless, and as soon as the words fell, he thought about ending this conversation hastily. Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside, and after a while, there was a very regular and light sound of buttoning the window plate outside, and I heard Mr. Bai whispering through the window lattice: "Master Hou! ”

He Yan frowned, strode forward, pushed open the door, and said in a deep voice: "Say." ”

Manager Bai hurriedly stepped forward, and he didn't have time to salute, and he didn't have time to care about Xingzhao still in the room, and said to make a long story short: "The emperor is furious, the queen mother has ordered Queen Fang to live in the Fengyi Palace!" ”

Xingzhao's ears were sharp, he caught a few key points, immediately got up, lifted his skirt in three steps and walked in two steps, and approached the porch lightly.

He Yan, who was unexpected, was extremely calm, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Why is the emperor angry?" ”

"Concubine Hui had a miscarriage, the Queen Mother asked the harem to be thoroughly investigated, and finally found out in the Fengyi Palace, the emperor has ordered the Queen Mother to be grounded."

Mr. Bai usually looks like a fearful personality, and he always likes to exaggerate when doing things, making a panicked look. There was no trace of panic in Manager Bai's voice just now, and Xingzhao thought of Jiang Cai's extremely regular knocking sound, no wonder Manager Bai could sit in this position safely.

With Xingzhao's experience, he can hear that something is wrong. Although Empress Fang has no children under her knees, now that the emperor has three sons, it is not important for Concubine Hui to give birth to another child. Moreover, as long as Queen Fang sits firmly in the main palace, whoever takes the throne will be the justifiable queen mother.

Outside, Fang Qi's life and death are unknown and he was maliciously framed, and the queen of Fang is in a predicament, and it is difficult to protect herself, with a two-pronged approach, this bureau is too big, even with the help of Empress Dowager Gu, Ying Yi can't control it.

Xingzhao carefully looked at He Yan's expression, and only heard He Yan say lightly: "Murdering the emperor's heir is a big crime." Even if she is the queen of the main palace, she can't just live in seclusion if she commits a crime. ”

He Yan thought more deeply than Xingzhao, Pingxi Pass was broken, Fang Qi's whereabouts were unknown, the emperor's first reaction turned out to be to appease Empress Fang, from this point he could know the relationship between the emperor and Empress Fang, how could it be destroyed by a little concubine.

Rumors are spreading, if the emperor doesn't do something, it seems that he can't say anything, so he simply finds a reason to ban Empress Fang, why isn't this protecting her? It's just that if the emperor is not afraid of the Fang family, why did he appoint Liang Pinggong to take the first step to replace the previous admiral a year ago? The court is often the direction of the temple, could it be that after the emperor heard the rumors, the qi of the two compartments added together, and made such a decision?

The father and daughter were both pondering, and Mr. Bai glanced at this and that, and was also thinking about this matter in his heart.

Xingzhao returned to the main courtyard and was surprised that the eldest lady already knew about it.

The eldest lady couldn't cry anymore, the hair in her sideburns was messy, and she rummaged through the cabinets to find the post and hand it over, and rushed to comfort her sister who was confined to the Fengyi Palace.

Xingzhao suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, and asked with a sinking face: "Who told my mother!" ”

Man'er, who was huddled in the corner, cried out when he heard Xingzhao's fierce voice, and said: "The eldest lady asked where the fourth girl went, and I couldn't hide it so I asked the little maid to inquire, but when I inquired, I heard the news." I was in a hurry, so I told the eldest lady! ”

The two cries were mixed, so annoyed that Xingzhao held his forehead, and his eyes motioned for Yuefang to pull Man'er out, but he heard Man'er's heart-rending cry mixed with such a sentence: "It was Yingfen in Aunt Wan's room who stuffed money into Steward Chen and asked, I listened secretly next to me, and I heard it." Ying Fan also persuaded me to tell the eldest lady that this is the only way to please and not to do bad things! ”

Xingzhao suddenly trembled with anger, and pointed at Man'er: "Extraordinary times do extraordinary things, and you dare to listen to the words of the east side room!" Pull out and hit the board five times in the atrium! He and Huang's mother instructed: "You personally go to the east side house, find two sturdy mothers-in-law to put that Ying Fan out, and immediately drag it out and sell it!" Such a slave with his own opinions, our He family can't stay! (To be continued......)
