Chapter 321: Inquiry
This information was too sudden, and it was equivalent to opening up a new field in Xiao Cuo's eyes. Originally, there was such a thing as a landslide, and he could only think of it at most, maybe it was the turmoil of the Great Zhou that was imminent, and the heavens gave warnings. In fact, after he didn't find out the reason, he was also convinced of this speculation, and he thought in his heart that the imperial brother might not be good.
If someone had told her this morning that the collapse of Red Maple Mountain was man-made, he wouldn't have believed it.
But now he believes. But he was also full of doubts: "You mean, someone has the same dream as you?" What you know and learn, that person will too? ”
Fu Ying nodded, "At least that's the case." ”
"How is that possible? How can two different people have the same dream? Xiao Cuo shook his head in disbelief, his expression a little messy.
Seeing him like this, Fu Ying took out the diary left by the maid Ping'er of the Empress Dowager Sheng'an from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Xiao Cuo.
"Perhaps, not just two people, but a third."
Xiao Cuo was surprised, "Haunting, you, what do you mean?" ”
At this time, Fu Ying in Xiao Cuo's eyes was still that stunning appearance, and she still had a pair of clear apricot eyes, but her smile was unfathomable, and the whole person looked mysterious.
Fu Ying handed the diary to Xiao Cuo's hand, looked into his eyes and said: "The recorder of this diary is Ping'er, the maidservant next to the Empress Dowager Sheng'an, someone led me to the Imperial Garden that day, I found it, but at a glance it evoked many memories of my own. St. Ann's Queen Mother may have had the same experience as me. ”
"You say, my mother is the same as you?"
Fu Ying's head was raised: "This diary records several major changes in the temperament of the Empress Dowager Sheng'an in the boudoir, as well as 'Your surname is Xiao.'" I have a little in my name, and the sentence 'That sentence is the dialogue of a character in a play in my dream, and it can't be so coincidental, and it's ......"
Fu Ying's tone paused slightly, and he said seriously: "Ah wrong, if you look carefully, there is a big secret here, involving the emperor's eldest son, you may understand it after reading it." ”
Xiao Cuo clutched the mottled booklet left after the fire in his hand, "Everything you did today was to tell me about the collapse of Red Maple Mountain?" ”
"And to prove the authenticity of this booklet." Fu Ying took Xiao Cuo's hand that was clenched into a fist. He rubbed his fingers with his thumb to rub his jointed fingers comfortably: "Ah wrong." Without this diary, I wouldn't have remembered so many memories in my dreams. Even if I remember it one day, I will bite this secret to death and will never tell you. And not only because the dream is too incredible. But...... I really don't want to change the course of history. You want to. What if this lethal firearm is known to the wicked? Will they do bad things with it? In case it falls into the hands of a person who likes to study gunpowder. What about inventing more powerful bombs hundreds of years earlier? Then I really became a sinner. ”
Xiao Cuo listened to Fu Ying's words, and only felt more accepting of incompetence. Why is what Fu Ying said more and more incredible? But looking at Fu Ying's serious expression, it was hard for Xiao Cuo not to believe the truth in her words.
"Haunting. I need to think about it. ”
"Good. But you promise me to read this diary carefully, and if you have any doubts, you can come and ask me, and if you have someone who knows the past of the Queen Mother, you can also go to him to verify whether what he said is true. ”
"You mean Mr. Xu?"
Fu Ying nodded: "Exactly." He is also mentioned in the diary. ”
As the sun set behind the mountains, even the sunset took on its brilliant brilliance, and at night, the leaves and grass in the mountains rustled, and the occasional wolf howl could be heard in the distance.
Xiao Cuo came back to his senses at this time, took Fu Ying's hand and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will think about this matter carefully, now that it is autumn, it is cold at night, don't be cold." As he spoke, he took off his dark robe to wrap Fu Ying tightly, and then turned back and ordered: "Today's events must not be passed on." ”
The accompanying guards of the fire group responded in unison: "Yes." ”
Xiao Cuo picked up Fu Ying and put him on horseback, then turned over and jumped on himself, encircled the person in his arms and protected him, "Go back to the city, and settle Master Liu in good life." When I returned, the king had something to ask him personally. ”
"Yes, don't worry, the slave and maid will be able to settle Master Liu and his family." Yuan replied with a smile.
Xiao Cuo bowed his head with satisfaction and ordered to set off.
Rushing all the way back to the capital, Ah Yuan took a guard from the fire group to arrange the affairs of Master Liu and his family, while the rest escorted Xiao Cuo and Fu Ying back to the palace.
When he arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, Xiao Cuo hesitated and did not enter the door of the bedroom: "Haunting, I have some things I want to think about myself." ”
Fu Ying knew that what happened today was an impact on Xiao Cuo. And the diary she has already handed over to Xiao wrong, presumably the words about his mother and brother on it will be a greater stimulus to him, no matter who it is, such a big thing suddenly needs to be quiet.
"Then I'll go back and rest first, and I'll let Luzhu bring you dinner later."
Xiao Cuo wanted to speak and stopped, he wanted to say that he had no appetite, but he was afraid that Fu Ying would be worried, so he forced a smile: "Okay, I'll get more of my favorite food later." By the way, I ordered someone to go to the summer resort to check the emperor's news, and by the way, I brought back Zhenyu and your baby candy ball, and it is estimated that people will be able to arrive tomorrow. ”
Fu Ying nodded happily when she heard this: "I know." ”
Seeing Xiao Cuo's upright back when he left, the smile on Fu Ying's face gradually faded.
Only then did Lu Zhu come out of the shadows, hold Fu Ying's arm and say, "The princess has worked hard, let's rest for a while." ”
Fu Ying nodded, and his expression was a little wilted.
Lu Zhu weighed his words and said, "The princess doesn't have to worry too much. The prince is a sensible person, and he will definitely understand the princess's hard work. ”
Lu Zhu obviously wanted to be crooked, and felt that Fu Ying was worried that Xiao Cuo would be angry when she knew that she was secretly doing so many things behind his back these days.
Fu Ying knew that now that Luzhu was following her, he really cared about her, and while he was relieved and happy, he couldn't help but worry when he thought of Xiao Cuo.
"I'm not thinking about this, but I'm worried about the prince."
Fu Ying doesn't need to go into details, even the people who follow her also know that there has been a lot of noise recently, and even the people under her walk and shrink their necks, for fear that they will touch the mold if they make a mistake. How much more is it a person in a high position?
Luzhu couldn't help but comfort Fu Ying again.
Xiao Cuo did not come back that night.
Early the next morning, Fu Ying ordered Luzhu to check, only to learn that Xiao Cuo ate a few mouthfuls of food at random last night and went out of the palace again.
Fu Ying guessed that Xiao Cuo must have to investigate the truth of the things in the diary, and maybe he would turn over the big case of the extermination of the Empress Dowager Sheng'an's mother's family back then.
And so it was past noon.
After lunch, Ah Yuan came in with a smile on his face and replied: "Princess, Miss Zhenyu is back." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhenyu, who was dressed in a light green bijia and holding a snow-white kitten in her arms, walked into the door quickly, and when she saw Fu Ying, she immediately gave a big salute: "Princess, the slave is back." ”
The sugar ball jumped down from Zhenyu's arms, meowed at Fu Ying, and then shook his hair, and raised his chin proudly.
Fu Ying was very funny when she heard it. The meaning of the sugar ball is clearly to blame her for leaving it out for so long, thinking that she doesn't want it anymore, and she is angry.
"Hurry up. How are you doing at the lodge these days? Fu Ying went to take Zhenyu's hand, as for the sugar ball, if you like it, you can be angry for the time being.
Zhenyu said: "The villa is very peaceful, no one can enter the main courtyard where the emperor lives, not even the adults who live in the villa. The ladies quarreled a while ago about going back to Kyoto, but the prince gave a strict order not to leave the villa for half a step, and finally the matter gradually subsided. ”
Fu Ying pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said, "What about the emperor's situation?" Didn't get out at all? ”
Zhenyu shook her head: "The slave maid went to investigate, and the news was extremely tightly blocked, only looking at the continuous supply of decoction and medicine and eating and drinking every day, but I couldn't hear whether the emperor's news was improving." ”
Fu Ying lowered his eyes thoughtfully.
Zhenyu said again: "But there is one thing. Master Gu started about ten days ago, and he was no longer in the villa. The slave maid found that Lord Gu was gone, and had searched everywhere, at first she thought that Lord Gu was in the main courtyard where the emperor lived, but the main courtyard did not allow the slave and maid to enter, and the slave and maid were guarding outside, but after guarding for so many days, they didn't see Lord Gu come out at all. It can be seen that Master Gu is not inside. ”
Thinking about it, Gu Yun went to find his own master.
"I see. You go and rest first, we have to live in the palace with the prince for a few days, and we can go home when the matter is resolved. You carefully follow the rules of the palace and don't move around. The queen is staring at us, waiting to catch our mistakes and embarrass the prince. ”
Zhenyu nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, the princess, the slave knows." ”
Luzhu took Zhenyu to rest, and by the way, he gave an account of what had happened in these days, so as not to do something inappropriate without Zhenyu's knowledge.
Fu Ying sat down on the warm kang near the window, leaning on the bright yellow satin pillow in a daze.
Seeing that Fu Ying hadn't paid attention to it for a long time, Sugar Ball Xu jumped lightly on the warm kang, lay on Fu Ying's lap, and coquettishly rubbed the back of Fu Ying's hand with his hairy brain.
Fu Ying came back to her senses, chuckled, and scratched the chin of the candy ball with her fingertips, and the kitten immediately turned over happily to show her.
Fu Ying couldn't help laughing, scratching the sugar ball, but the smile gradually faded.
I don't know what Xiao Cuo is doing now.
Have you already investigated the authenticity of the contents of the diary?

Xiao Cuo and Xu Pei were sitting in the pavilion in the back garden of the palace at this time, there was no one around them, the autumn wind was slow, the leaves were blowing and falling, and both of them also felt a little cold. But both of them looked at each other stiffly, and no one moved.
It wasn't until the old and broken booklet placed on the table was quickly turned a few pages by the wind that Xu Pei found the lost voice, took his eyes off Xiao Cuo's face, and looked at the booklet on the table stiffly, and the faint voice came, as if he was ten years old in an instant, "I can't think of it, what she said is true." ”
Xiao Cuo's heart was shocked, "Mr. Xu, what did you say?" You say, what is true? (To be continued.) )
