Chapter 20: Lingering (3)
"He just wanted to pluck himself clean so as not to affect the impression in that person's mind." Xiao Yu smiled faintly, his younger brother has not been a fuel-efficient lamp since he was a child, and he doesn't know how many times stronger he is in the scheming city!
"Where's that over there?" Xiao Yu's eyes looked in the direction of the main house, where the lights had already been turned off, and it was dark and unclear.
"The day before yesterday, the crown princess asked the Yanhui girl next to her to send a letter back to the Du Mansion in Beijing, so that the housekeeper could help inquire about the details of His Highness's handling of His Royal Highness's poisoning." The man in black stepped forward, looked at Xiao Yu with his eyes without any emotion, and asked softly, "Is the master going to take care of that side?" β
"Not necessarily." Xiao Yu waved his hand at him and said casually: "Whatever he wants, you just need to send someone to pay close attention to the movement." β
"Yes."
Just like the last time he disappeared, after the man in black replied to this sentence, the figure in the shadows disappeared.
Outside the house, Guo Housheng still hung his head and guarded peacefully. It was only the moment the dark shadow disappeared that his gaze looked vigilantly in the direction of the main house.
In the dark inner room of the main house, Yan Hui also glanced out of the house vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no sound, he got up and sat next to Du Yunjin's bed.
"Miss......" She deliberately lowered her voice and called several times before she saw Du Yunjin slowly wake up.
"How? Is there any news from Uncle Yuan? At this time, Du Yunjin had woken up from his previous drunkenness, and looked at Yanhui with clear eyes, waiting for her answer.
"There's news. His Majesty did not order a detailed investigation of His Highness's poisoning, but I heard that King Qing was also ill during this time. β
"That's all?" Du Yunjin lowered her eyes in disappointment, she didn't expect Xiao Yu to be disgusted with this kind of Cheng dΓΉ. The so-called tiger poison does not eat children, no matter how disgusted you are, when you see innocent poisoning of flesh and blood, as a father, you should find out the murderer who murdered your child. Don't...... In today's heart, do you really regard Xiao Yu as a son who fornicated with others after his death?
How so? Throwing away the old love between the present and the deceased, on the East Palace within the high walls, on the palace guards lined up outside the Xuanwu Gate, even if the deceased has that mind, he doesn't have the strength to get a person into the palace. No matter how you think about it, Xiao Yuhe should be Jinshang's own flesh and blood. With such a simple truth, even she can understand why she is so extreme and self-righteous today?
Yan Hui saw the grief in the depths of Du Yunjin's eyes clearly through the moonlight, and she sighed silently. "Your Highness is really pitiful! died young, and was not loved today. But fortunately, there is still a young lady who plans for him. β
"You girl, you know to make fun of me, see who dares to marry you in the future!" Du Yunjin glared at her, but his words were not reprimanding.
"Outside things, you still have to ask Uncle Yuan to help inquire." Du Yunjin pondered his mind and slowly ordered: "You and I are in the deep palace, and there is a lot of news. With such a status, I am afraid that not many people are willing to do things for him, so we must learn more about the situation between the DPRK and China in order to make plans for the future. β
"Yes." Du Yun Jinyan got up, and Yan Hui also collected a joking look on his face.
The master and servant listened carefully to the movement outside the house, except for the mountain breeze blowing, it was the small sound of Ruyu's breathing, and nothing else.
Only then did they settle down, and by the moonlight they returned to their respective places, and really began to rest.
