Chapter 252: Strange Things
"Miss Ru Xuan, it's really unfortunate, Childe is not in the village now, if Miss Ru Xuan is in a hurry to find Childe, why don't you let me convey it on your behalf, how about it?" Seventeen Niang smiled and said diligently.
Not in the house?
Ru Xuan looked at Seventeen Niang seriously for a long time, trying to see something flaw in her face.
It's a pity that Seventeen Niang looked as usual, and she didn't look half out of the ordinary.
My brother went out of the house in such a hurry, didn't he really come to Yanliuzhuang?
Or is it that his judgment from the beginning was wrong, could it be that the things in his brother's study are not his at all, and the real Xuanye Gongzi is someone else?
Ru Xuan's thoughts were a little complicated.
"If Miss Ru Xuan doesn't believe it, why don't you come in and take a look?" Seventeen Niang added a sentence in a timely manner.
"No, since Seventeen Niang said that Xuanye Gongzi is not here, how can I not believe it? It's not anything important today, it's just passing by here, just come and take a look, since the son of Xuanye is not there, then I won't bother much. Ru Xuan said curtly, and was about to get up and say goodbye.
"There is no one to take care of it in the village, and it is inconvenient for me to send Miss Ru Xuan, so be careful on the road." Seventeen Niang's farewell to Ru Xuan did not intend to keep.
"Hmm." Ru Xuan walked quickly.
It was a sudden visit, and with a sense of guilt, Ru Xuan felt that Fang Cai's attitude did not seem to be very good.
But the situation in front of her made her feel full of doubts.
I had to plan to go back to the palace first, and when my brother came back, I would ask what was going on.
Since suspicion is easy to give rise to dark ghosts, it is better to ask directly in person.
Ru Xuan thought for a moment. Riding his horse back to King Zheng's mansion.
Coincidentally, when Ru Xuan arrived in front of the palace, she happened to meet the dark spirit driving slowly in a carriage.
Ru Xuan's eyes are sharp. Even through the dim night, I recognized it at a glance.
"It's in the car, but it's King Zhong?" Ru Xuan pulled the reins, and the horses neighed.
Seeing that it was Ru Xuan, the dark soul hurriedly jumped down from the carriage and saluted Ru Xuan: "Back to the county lord, it is the prince." ”
King Chung in the car heard the movement. Seeing Ru Xuan, he hurriedly got out of the carriage and came to Ru Xuan's side. Said: "Where did you go in this dress?" ”
With that, King Chung stretched out his hand.
Ru Xuan naturally put her hand on it and jumped off the horse: "I just went to Yanliuzhuang." ”
King Zhong's expression suddenly darkened.
Yanliuzhuang is the place where Chai Zixuan and Yan Guitang often meet. Ru Xuan actually came out of Yanliuzhuang at this time. Could it be that Ru Xuan also participated in the plan to assassinate the emperor.
"I also just came back from the palace, and I heard that the housekeeper said that King Zheng and you made a post to invite me to King Zheng's mansion, so I hurried here, what is going on? Your brother has always disliked me, why did he suddenly ...... today" King Zhong explained his doubts straight to the point.
"I'm also wondering about this, my brother doesn't know what's wrong today. Suddenly, he said that he wanted to invite you over. But in the afternoon, my brother left the house and has not returned. I went to look for it, but I didn't see a trace. Ru Xuan's brows were tightly furrowed, and it could be seen that Ru Xuan's questions were no less than those of King Zhong.
King Chung's expression became much darker at the moment.
Chai Zixuan went out of the house, and Ru Xuan actually went to Yanliuzhuang to look for it, there must be something wrong here.
"King Zheng, he has always been in the house lately?" King Chung asked tentatively.
"I was trying to tell you about it." Ru Xuan continued: "Recently, my brother has always been away from the house, and he always says that he has something to do, I don't know what he is busy with, and I have also discovered an even stranger thing. ”
"What?" King Chung asked with some puzzlement.
"This matter is a long story, Shiqi, you should go home with me first, and I will tell you slowly." Ru Xuan pulled King Zhong and walked towards King Zheng's mansion.
In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, King Zhong and Ru Xuan sat together at the stone table in the courtyard and talked.
Xiang Nan prepared some snacks and sweet soups, and let them eat some to cushion their stomachs first.
King Zhong entered the palace to accompany the emperor to talk for an afternoon, and deployed with Commander Hua for a long time, and now he feels a little hungry, and because there is no one else except Ru Xuan, King Zhong is not shy about it, so he took a piece of mung bean cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hungry for such a hurry? Why don't I tell someone to go to the kitchenette and cook you two dishes? Ru Xuan saw that King Zhong was eating a little fast, and said with concern.
"Don't bother, these belly pads are just right." As King Chung spoke, he stuffed another piece of pastry into his mouth.
Ru Xuan saw it in her eyes and sent the teacup up: "Let's drink some tea." ”
King Zhong took it, took a sip, and swallowed the dim sum in his mouth: "Ru Xuan, what is the strange thing you just said, let's hear it?" ”
Ru Xuan glanced left and right to make sure that there was no one around, so she lowered her head and leaned in the direction of King Zhong, and whispered: "Shiqi, the Xuanye son of Yan Guitang, do you remember?" Is that the one I saw last time I went to Yanliuzhuang? ”
"Naturally, I remember that Yan Guitang has a lot of people and has a high prestige among the people, but in recent years, Yan Guitang is ready to move, which is quite unfavorable to the imperial court." King Zhong glanced at Ru Xuan's expression.
Ru Xuan's expression was a little gloomy at the moment.
Although he and Xuanye Gongzi have known each other for a long time, she knows very little about Yan Guitang, and she only heard Seventeen Niang say that Yan Guitang is excellent, and it turns out that she also has such thoughts.
In this way, Ru Xuan became more and more suspicious.
My brother and I are the descendants of the Chai family, and the hostility of my brother to the royal family can be said to be overflowing, so the fact that my brother is the son of Xuanye is true?
Ru Xuan's face turned pale, and she pursed her lips involuntarily.
"What, you have something on your mind?" King Zhong saw Ru Xuan's expression change, and asked with some concern.
"Shiqi, you say, will my brother be the son of Xuanye?" After a while, Ru Xuan came out with such a sentence.
King Zhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled warmly and said, "Why did you suddenly say this?" ”
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was in the study this afternoon, and I accidentally found a secret compartment in my brother's study." Ru Xuan said with a stunned face.
"It's just an ordinary thing." King Chung said lightly.
It is indeed an ordinary thing, there is a secret compartment in the study, and some rare things are put in, not to mention them, even if they are ordinary dignitaries, it is also a normal thing.
"It's unusual, it's unusual, what is placed in my brother's secret grid is a jade plate of Yan Guitang, and a silver mask." Ru Xuan's watery eyes were full of anxiety.
It seems that Ru Xuan is obviously worried that Chai Zixuan is the son of Xuanye, and at this time she has the intention of rebellion.
According to the situation that King Zhong grasped at this time, Chai Zixuan clearly wanted to avenge his family and the country, and intended to put the emperor to death. (To be continued......)
