Su Xue naturally understood the reason, so she didn't ask much, but said: "Everyone has already left, we didn't offend him, and he didn't make it too difficult for Su Xue." ”

The old lady was very pleased when she heard this: "This is very good, very good." ”

Pei Ye played the pretense very beautifully, and the people in the house only thought that the third lady went out to make trouble and provoked the powerful people in Beijing, and also forcibly took other people's things, and now he came to the door to take it back, and left.

So when Sixth Miss Wanyue asked about Lanzhu, she only got such an answer.

Wanyue nodded and let Lan Zhu retreat.

He looked at the folded magnolia flower bag in his hand that had been embroidered but could not be sent, and his eyes were confused.

If it was just a second miss, she would still have a chance, as can be seen from the last time the eldest lady touched a gray nose at the racecourse, Chen Gongzi did not take a fancy to the second miss.

In addition, now that the big house is like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the house for a while, and the affairs of the second lady and Chen Gongzi are almost yellow.

After turning over this winter, she will be able to catch up with it for another year.

She had been waiting for this day, and when it was time to come, she went to ask her mother......

I just don't know if I can wait until that day.

went to a second miss, why did she change to a third lady?

Wanyue clenched the bag in her hand, her face was sad, the third sister was clearly already in trouble, why did she have to provoke her everywhere?

She choked up and looked at the quiet lilies in the room, her eyes gradually deepening.

When Pei Ye left Jiangfu, he immediately got up and went back to Beijing.

The carriage shook slowly, and Pei Ye sat in it with his eyes closed.

Also in the carriage was his personal attendant Dofu. It took a while. Duofu finally couldn't help but speak: "Young master." Even if you want to repay the favor, you shouldn't take such a valuable one, that's what Madame left for you......"

"Mouthy." Pei Ye closed his eyes and interrupted coldly.

Duofu glanced at Pei Ye stupidly, and muttered, "But if Madam asks, how can the little one reply?" ”

"That's your business, don't bother me, shut up." Pei Ye frowned slightly, still closing his eyes.

Dofu had to be silenced. Silently pouted at Pei Ye.

The carriage left Jizhou briskly and headed towards Jingli, but did not return directly to Pei's Mansion, but went to Chen's Mansion first.

The Pei family and the Chen family are world friends, and Pei Ye is also a frequent visitor to the Chen Mansion, and the Chen family's housekeeper recognized the Pei family's carriage from a distance and hurriedly welcomed it.

"It's just in time, I have an endgame here, and I'm worried that I can't find anyone to play against." Chen Yijin shook his wide sleeves and wanted to pull Pei Ye to sit down.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ye wrapped his wrist around and quietly got rid of his pull. Wu flicked his clothes and sat down on the stone bench beside him. Unceremoniously picked up the jade porcelain cup and took a sip.

"Yo, my hands and feet are getting sharper and sharper, and I am more cunning than the fish in the river." Chen Yijin glanced at him playfully and sat down as well.

Pei Ye didn't answer, picked up the purple clay pot with a plum pattern and poured another cup.

Chen Yijin saw that he had no intention of playing, so he had to bury his head in his own thinking.

The courtyard is very quiet, and the breeze carries a little chill, blowing away the fragrance of tea.

"The prince is urging over there, but has you found out something?" After a while, Pei Ye finally put down the jade porcelain cup in his hand and asked.

Chen Yijin was holding a white child in his hand and didn't know where to go, when he heard Pei Ye's words, he frowned, simply didn't think about it, picked up the white child and threw it back to the chess box, raised his head and said: "Although the improvement is not big, it is not that there are no clues at all." ”

Pei Ye looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

Chen Yijin took a sip of the white porcelain cup and said slowly: "The last time you were attacked in the racecourse, I ordered someone to take back those scattered arrows, and inquired about the origin of those arrows, but not to mention, I really found out." ”

Chen Yijin took another sip, his eyes became solemn, and he continued: "I thought that they would not dare to be too publicistic when they did such a rebellious thing, but unexpectedly, those arrows actually came from the most famous sword-casting place in Beijing, Yujian Village. ”

Hearing those three words, Pei Ye's hand holding the porcelain cup stiffened, and then let out a light snort.

Yukenzhuang is a weapon house secretly set up by the imperial court outside the palace, and you can get the arrows cast by Yukenzhuang, which shows that the other party is also not small.

Chen Yijin looked at Pei Ye with a clear look, so he asked with a smile: "What, do you know who it is?" ”

Pei Ye was silent for a while and shook his head: "Knowing is equivalent to not knowing." ”

I found out about the Imperial Sword Village, but in fact, the identity of the assassin behind the scenes has been revealed.

can move the arrows of the Imperial Sword Village, and has murderous intentions for the prince, inside and outside the court, only King Qinan is alone.

It's not hard to guess.

It is useless to guess, firstly, the king of Qinan has just made military exploits and has a stable power in the court, second, they can't come up with conclusive evidence here, and third, the biological mother of the king of Qinan, the Empress Dowager Zhao, is still alive, even if the evidence is presented, only with the current power of the prince, he will not be able to defeat the king of Qinan.

In fact, King Qinan's ambition is even seen by the emperor.

King Qinan is the sixteenth in line, the youngest son of the former emperor, and the only younger brother on the pilgrimage. In terms of generation, he is the sixteenth uncle of the crown prince of the dynasty, but if you count the age, he is only five years older than the prince.

King Qinan was the favorite son of the previous emperor, he was crowned king at the age of ten, and went deep into the land of the Southern Barbarians in the year of the weak crown, in order to boost morale, he personally commanded the soldiers and horses to eradicate the rebellious party.

Before the emperor set up the crown prince, the Empress Dowager Zhao intended to be a brother and assist King Qinan to ascend the throne, after all, King Qinan was the youngest king in the royal family, and he was also the youngest son of the former emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhao.

But no one was willing to give the country to others, and the emperor was noncommittal at first, but gradually, he secretly cultivated forces to get rid of the constraints of the Empress Dowager Zhao and set up the crown prince.

The Empress Dowager Zhao turned her face with the emperor for this, and the emperor's repeated persuasion was still useless, and finally she was ruthless and put the Empress Dowager Zhao under house arrest in Wanshou Palace.

In order to convince the new prince, the emperor deliberately handed over the suppression of the epidemic in Jizhou to the prince.

The prince attached great importance to this, and just happened to meet Jiang Tongzhi, who was working diligently, and the epidemic in Jizhou was quickly suppressed.

Seeing that the momentum had changed, the officials turned their heads to support the prince.

The Empress Dowager Zhao in the Wanshou Palace also seemed to have figured it out overnight, expressing her willingness to accept the succession of this imperial grandson in the future.

The emperor and queen were overjoyed and went to Wanshou Palace to pick up the Empress Dowager Zhao. And King Qinan also entered the palace and expressed his position of unintentionally taking the throne in front of the emperor and the queen mother. The royal family of the Great Calendar did not have a rift because of this.

But things in the world are often not as peaceful and stable as they seem, and the ambitions of King Qi Nan and Empress Dowager Zhao do not seem to have really disappeared.

The emperor knows this, and the crown prince also knows this, and he is superficially amiable with King Qinan, and he competes secretly.

After all, the prince grew up in the deep palace, and he advocated etiquette, and he couldn't hold the sword steadily, and in terms of qualifications and the city, he couldn't compare with the king of Qinan on the battlefield of Rongma. The emperor is waiting, and when the time is ripe, after uprooting King Qinan and Empress Dowager Zhao, he will pass the throne to the crown prince.

It's like a branch full of spikes, pinching it and princing it naturally, and the emperor wants to remove all those spikes and hand them over to the prince smoothly and shinyly.

And now that the border war is tight, it is not the time to eradicate the king of Qinan, and the Empress Dowager Zhao and the king of Qinan are willing to make peace on the surface, so there is a harmony between the royal family.

Therefore, Pei Ye said that knowing it is equivalent to not knowing.

The emperor and the crown prince all know about the affairs of King Qinan, and what they can do is to retreat as advance, and protecting the prince's safety is the top priority.

Chen Yijin naturally knew the trick, sighed lightly, looked at the endgame, and said, "I know that this is the result." ”

Pei Ye slanted his eyes and looked at the game of chess, silent.

Chen Yijin reluctantly began to collect the chess pieces, remembered something, glanced at Pei Ye, and asked with a smile: "Visible?" ”

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, then his face turned cold, put down the porcelain cup and got up and left.

Chen Yijin knew that he couldn't keep it, so he only smiled bitterly at his back and shook his head, and turned his head to signal the steward to send off the guests.

After the steward sent Pei Ye back, he was stopped by Chen Yijin again.

"Why haven't you seen my lord all day?"

At this time in the past, Master Chen should have returned from the ya.

The steward bowed his head and replied, "I heard from Madame that the master has gone to meet his friends, and he will come back later." ”

"Friends? Where did you come from? ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Chen Yijin frowned in disgust, the last time it was because Master Chen went to meet a friend, and when he came back, he forcibly dragged him to see the second lady of the Jiang family.

The father likes to travel the mountains and rivers to make friends, which he is naturally happy to be a son, but making friends almost puts all his life's events into it, which is unbearable.

Thinking about the Miss Jiang Er he saw last time, he was really scared.

Therefore, he said, "Mother doesn't know either?" You go and ask. ”

The steward raised his face and said, "Young master, I heard that the master is going to meet that friend in Jizhou, it seems to be ...... Or for the sake of the young master......"

Speaking of this, the steward also bowed his head timidly.

When Chen Yijin heard this, he had goosebumps all over his body in vain. With a long sigh, he walked quickly to the main hall. He had to stabilize his mother's position, otherwise his father would come back and force him again, and he wouldn't even have a helper.

Master Jiang asked Master Chen to talk about his children again, although the two hit it off, but there was some trouble on the junior's side, first, the young master of the Chen family was not very agreeable, and second, the second lady of the Jiang family was also dragged back to her parents' house by the eldest lady, and she couldn't come back for a while.

Therefore, this matter had to be put aside first.

Chen Yijin once again expressed his heart to his mother, Mrs. Chen has always loved her only son, and asked the Jiang family girl from the side, but she was not very satisfied. She was on her son's side, she didn't come down, and Master Chen didn't want to force her too much.

As a result, Master Chen did not mention this matter again after he came back, and Chen Yijin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

And on the Jiang Mansion's side, Xuemei's incident has passed for several days, and she has never heard the news about the capture of Dr. Zhang, so Su Xue secretly sent Qianrou out of the mansion to inquire, only to know that Dr. Zhang had not actually touched Xuemei's grave at all.

Xuemei's coffin was purchased by Steward Li himself, but it was Dr. Zhang who really buried Xuemei. (To be continued......)
