"The moon is bright, the wind is quiet, and Lin'er sleeps obediently."

Xue'er put her left hand together, and her right hand slapped rhythmically on her left arm, while shaking her body, imitating the demeanor of the county lord of Changping vividly.

"There's a baby in the secret room?" Xia Qingyun cried out in disbelief.

"It's true! Heixing and I really watched it, the county lord of Changping gave the child a bath before going to bed, it was a boy, white and chubby, very cute! ”

Xia Qingyun recalled that the plump figure of the county lord of Changping was indeed less pure than a girl, and a little more of a young woman's demeanor.

The county lord who has not yet left the cabinet secretly gave birth to a son, who would have thought that there would be such a shocking secret hidden in Luomei Villa, or rather, a huge scandal!

So, the question is, who is the father of the child? Is it the horse master, or is it someone else? Does the Nine Emperor Uncles know that he has become a grandfather?

The construction of the villa began five years ago, and the secret room should have been built in advance long before the foundation was dug, could it be that from that time, the county lord of Changping hooked up with others?

The Nine Emperor Uncles made so much effort to build Luomei Villa, it would definitely not be for his daughter to have a tryst with a man there, right?

As the royal county lord, even if he doesn't have a lot of brains, he doesn't have to worry about getting married. stealing men behind his back, and even giving birth to a son, if it is revealed to the world, won't it disgrace the royal family?

Leaving Yangguan Avenue and digging tunnels secretly, it was obvious that he wanted to do something shady, Xia Qingyun had already smelled a hint of conspiracy.

She pondered for a moment, then asked, "Did you find anything else out of the ordinary?" ”

Blackstar poked Cher. Glared at by her, Xue'er pouted, and replied very unwillingly: "We wanted to wait for them to sleep and sneak into the secret room to check, but the county lord of Changping pressed it on the wall, and the entire back garden suddenly became foggy, and we couldn't see anything clearly, we were afraid of being discovered, so we had to come back and sue you first." ”

Xia Qingyun's gaze roamed over their faces. Masaseki asked, "Have you been discovered?" ”

Cher lowered her head. "This seems to be a black thing in the fog rushing towards us, fortunately, Black Star and I have already dripped blood to recognize the Lord, and immediately flashed back to the treasure pavilion." ”

Xia Qingyun said solemnly, "You two have memorized it for me." There is no command from me in the future. Don't do it on your own! ”

She stared at both sternly. The tone was unquestionable, "Otherwise, I will take your gold collar." Let you be like idle cranes, on the top wall of Daqing Mountain for three years! ”

Xue'er and the Black Star chick pecked at the rice, nodding vigorously. Once the divine beast recognizes the master, it must obey the master's orders unconditionally, otherwise it will be intolerable and thunderstruck.

Xia Qingyun's worries are not unreasonable, the feet of the Son of Heaven seem to be peaceful, but in fact, the crisis is surging, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, just the Xianyun master of the Jietai Temple, is not an idle person, fortunately he is on his side.

But in addition to him, there may be other capable people who are secretly spying on him, and it is difficult to say whether they are friends or foes.

In case Xue'er and Black Star act rashly and startle the snake, exposing the secrets of the Treasure Pavilion, and then involving the Zhenguo Gong and his wife, it will be a big trouble.

She asked the two of them to go down to rest first, and sat in the study by herself to ponder, until the fifth watch, she washed her face, put on her cloak and flashed out of the Wishful Treasure Pavilion.

The night before dawn was unusually dark and silent. The waning moon was obscured by the clouds, revealing a faint halo, and the white star appeared and disappeared on the horizon, and the cold wind was biting, blowing pain on people's faces.

Xia Qingyun wrapped his cloak tightly, stepped on the remnants of snow, and walked towards Si Hongrui's study.

The window lattice of the study showed dim candlelight, and the subordinates came in and out from time to time with a basin, waiting for Si Hongrui to wash.

Si Hongrui has to go to the morning court every day, and in order not to affect his wife's rest, he washes and changes clothes in the study. After putting on the court clothes, he was about to step out of the door, when Xia Qingyun's voice came from outside the door, "Daddy, my daughter has something to report, can I come in?" ”

Si Hongrui frowned, raised his eyes and looked out the window, the sky was not yet bright, Qingyun came over at this time, something must have happened.

"It's cold outside, come in and talk."

Xia Qingyun bowed first when she entered the door, and then, 1510 told Xue'er and the Black Star about the situation of the investigation, and at the end, she said worriedly: "Luomei Villa was built five years ago, which shows the depth of the Nine Emperor Uncle's scheming, which should not be underestimated. Besides, there are also strangers to help him set up formations and mechanisms, and I think his purpose must not be just to cover up his daughter's ugly affairs. Maybe behind him, there are also behind-the-scenes manipulators, planning a conspiracy! ”

Si Hongrui was obviously also shocked, his brows were tightly locked, he pondered for a long time, his tone was unusually solemn, and said: "This matter must be reported to the emperor." Don't track it down for the time being, and hand it over to the father. ”

He paced in front of Xia Qingyun and patted her shoulder with his gentle palm, "Qingyun, no matter what, you must guard the secrets of the Treasure Pavilion, once something happens, you must rely on it to protect your mother and brothers and sisters." Sixteen years ago, your mother and I were almost separated from yin and yang, and I almost lost my relatives, such a tragedy must not happen again! ”

"Daddy, you have to be careful yourself. After all, the country of Qi is the emperor's country of Qi, and home is our own! ”

Xia Qingyun was very worried about Si Hongrui's foolishness. Throughout history, loyal ministers and brave generals are just tools for the emperor to rule the world. In order to compete for the throne, the royal family killed each other, killing their fathers and mothers, which was not uncommon in all dynasties. What's more, a courtier, at best, is just cannon fodder.

"I know." Si Hongrui patted her on the shoulder, picked up the book on the table, and walked out of the study, the tall figure hidden in the dark night.

The sun rises in the east, the sun shines all over the earth, sparrows jump up and down on the eaves, looking for grass seeds that fall in the cracks, and the cold winter is pregnant with the vitality of spring.

In the Hanlin Courtyard in the north of the imperial city, a group of Hanlin University scholars have just left the court, basking in the sun in the courtyard while discussing this year's palace examination.

This year, due to the emperor's initial recovery from a serious illness, the palace examination was postponed for more than two months, but it could not be postponed to the next year, which would affect the rotation of officials in the spring. The emperor issued an edict in the early court, and the palace examination will be held on the day after tomorrow, on the 26th day of the lunar month.

The students who rushed to the capital early from all over the country all stayed in the inn near the Hanlin Academy at first. By now, some have run out of money, have to go to relatives and friends, and even go to temples on the outskirts of Beijing to make ends meet.

As soon as the news of the palace examination was released, the students rushed to tell each other and cheered up again. After a few years of cold windows, just for this dynasty, the title of the gold list.

Among the first group of people to see the notice at the gate of the Hanlin Academy, more than a dozen of them came from Yuzhou in the southwest province. Before they set off, they each received a subsidy of one hundred taels of silver from Xia Qingyun, so they could stay in the inn all the time, have no worries about food and clothing, and concentrate on preparing for the exam.

Among them, there are Gu Guanghui and Lin Hanxue, and they also met Xia Qingyun once in the capital, and that time she also sent Heixing to each student with tea, sugar, and twenty taels of silver.

But they studied hard behind closed doors, and they didn't know that their benefactor was now the lord of Taiping County, and they only wanted to gain fame and live up to the hard work of the Qingyunxuan family. (To be continued......)
