On the last day of the January period, Qin Shanyan received a letter from the Immortal Gate.

I don't know who wrote the letter, the words are very polite and gorgeous, the whole article does not say a word of business, the whole article is compliments and greetings, only at the end of the sentence mentioned, Zi Shi Huang Yuan, waiting for the saint and Miss Gu!

"Where's the Phoenix Garden?" After reading the letter, Qin Xiaoyan found Jiao Xiangdi.

In the south of the Yangtze River, if you want to say who is most familiar with, it is not Jiao Xiangdi's genus.

"Phoenix Garden? There is no phoenix garden in Jiangnan. Jiao Xiangdi was dumbfounded for a moment before he reacted.

"No Phoenix Garden? No way...... You're thinking about it. Qin Shiyan didn't think that the people of the Immortal Sect would play tricks on him.

"I ...... If I don't go and look up the local chronicles, maybe I can't say if I change the name. Jiao Xiangdi can be sure that his memory is not wrong, but he does not dare to guarantee that there is no place called Huangyuan in Jiangnan before.

"Hurry up." After Qin Xiaoyan told Jiao Xiangdi to check the whereabouts of Huangyuan, he asked the secret guard to investigate.

The people of Changshengmen dare to say that they are about to be in the Phoenix Garden, so in this land south of the Yangtze River, there will definitely be a Phoenix Garden.

"Subordinates receive orders." The Dark Guard clenched his hands into fists and bowed back.

Qin Shiyan sat alone in the study, read the letter sent by Changshengmen carefully, and made sure that there were no messy codes or puzzles in the letter, so he put it down.

"Phoenix Garden? The phoenix is male, and the phoenix is female. There are not many people in the world who dare to use the word phoenix. When did Jiangnan have a Phoenix Garden? Qin Shiyan leaned back on the seat, his eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers tapped on the armrest, and his face was half hidden in the dark, half exposed in the light, inexplicably a little more gloomy, and looked unfathomable.

"Like...... My father once said that I would build a Phoenix Garden for my mother like the emperor's grandfather did to the emperor's grandmother. Isn't it...... The Phoenix Garden built by the emperor's grandfather for the emperor's grandmother was in Jiangnan? Qin Xiaoyan opened his eyes suddenly, and the light in his eyes suddenly appeared, "Ziche, come out!" ”

"Holy." Ziche came out of the corner, clasped his hands into fists, bowed his head and said nothing.

"Ziche, do you know where the Phoenix Garden that the imperial grandfather built for the imperial grandmother is located back then?" This is what the Emperor Taishang has not yet ascended the throne and did to coax his wife, not many people know about it, if it wasn't for the first prince mentioning it, Qin Xiaoyan would not have known about it.

Ziche lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "My subordinates don't know." "The matter between the Emperor Taishang and his wife when he was young was not widely circulated, and after Qin Xiaoyan's grandfather's family was destroyed, he didn't dare to mention it.

Because, in order to get the support of Qin Xiaoyan's maternal family, that is, the Yue family, the Emperor Taishang promised to marry only one wife in his life, even if his wife had no heirs, he would not accept concubines or concubines.

Later, Empress Taishang came to break her promise, but at that time, Emperor Taishang had already secured the throne, and the Yue family was dissatisfied, so they could only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.

"Let people check, check the year...... Whether the Emperor Taishang has been to Jiangnan and whether he has built a garden in Jiangnan. Qin Xiaoyan can be sure that there is no Phoenix Garden in Jiangnan now. The Phoenix Garden mentioned in the letter from Changshengmen is most likely related to his imperial grandmother.

"Subordinates receive orders." The sub-car did not go out, but turned around and disappeared into the corner.

His duty is to protect the emperor, and other people will do it to check the news.

"Aggressive ......" Qin Xiaoyan tapped the armrest more and more frequently, one after another, just listening to the voice, he knew that his mood was unstable at this time.

Changshengmen's move made him feel uneasy. The people of the Immortal Sect knew too much, and it was not a good thing for him.

"Immortal Gate, what an immortal door." When it comes to Phoenix Garden at this time, what kind of conspiracy do they have?

Qin Shiyan didn't believe that it would be a coincidence that Changshengmen chose to meet him in Phoenix Garden.

At this moment, Jiao Xiangdi, who went to check the local chronicles, came to see Qin Xiaoyan with a thick local chronicle. "Holy Lord, the lower officials have found it."

"Come in." Qin Shiyan raised his eyebrows, surprised by the efficiency of Jiao Xiangdi, "Why is it so fast?" ”

"The lower official is lucky, the little official who guards the file is familiar with the local chronicles, and the lower official found it out as soon as he asked." Jiao Xiangdi stepped forward with the local chronicles, spread out one of them, and handed it to Qin Xiaoyan, "Holy Lord, look. More than 40 years ago, before he ascended the throne, Emperor Taishang brought his wife to Jiangnan to play and built a garden in Jiangnan. It is said that the garden was designed and supervised by the Emperor Taishang himself, and was named Huangyuan after completion. However, not long after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the Phoenix Garden was burned by fire due to an accident. ”

"It's really the Phoenix Garden built by the emperor's grandfather." Qin Xiaoyan clenched the armrest with both hands, "snap......ped" a force, and the handrail was crushed by him.

Burned by fire due to an accident?

Presumably not!

"Plop ......" Jiao Xiangdi was startled, knelt down with his legs straight, his mouth reacted faster than his brain, and shouted first: "The emperor is angry!" ”

This had to be changed before, Jiao Xiangdi would never do this. During this period of time, in Jiao Cifu's training, he still did an excellent job on the surface.

"Anger? I'm not angry. "He has nothing to be angry about," where is the Phoenix Garden? He wanted to see where the Phoenix Garden, which was built by his imperial grandfather and destroyed with his own hands, was located.

Although there was no evidence, Qin Xiaoyan knew that the fire must be the handiwork of his imperial grandfather. Starting from the burning of the Phoenix Garden, the imperial grandfather destroyed his imperial grandmother little by little, as well as the Yue family.

"In the peach forest ten miles away from the strange slope outside the city." Jiao Xiangdi has indeed grown, although Qin Shiyan did not give an order, but before he came to see Qin Shiyan, he understood everything clearly, for fear that Qin Shiyan would not be able to answer when asked.

"Send someone to clean up that forest." Qin Shiyan stood up and walked past Jiao Xiangdi.

"Yes." Qin Shiyan had already gone out, but Jiao Xiangdi was still kneeling there and didn't get up.

At this moment, he finally understood what the emperor's coercion was, and he finally understood what his father meant when he said that the emperor was no longer the king of Qin.

His nose was sour, and Jiao Xiangdi exhaled a few breaths hard, suppressing the sourness and melancholy in his heart, and then got up from the ground.

He will be a good courtier of the emperor, and he will not disappoint his father and the emperor.

Jiao Xiangdi turned around and walked out, his steps firm, without a trace of hesitation.

He knew what he had to do!

After confirming that the Phoenix Garden written in the letter of Changshengmen was related to the Emperor Taishang, Qin Xiaoyan knew that this matter was not so simple. Walking out of the study, Qin Shiyan went to see the old housekeeper in person.

"Who is the person who answered you in Jiangnan?" Qin Xiaoyan was unceremonious, straight to the point.

"What, what?" The old housekeeper has been in very poor spirits these days, and his brain reaction is also dull, and he couldn't understand what Qin Shiyan meant for a while, Qin Shiyan had to repeat it, and the old housekeeper reacted at this time, but he didn't answer Qin Shiyan's question, but smiled, "Did the emperor find something?" ”

"What does he have to do with the Yue family? Or rather, what does he have to do with my imperial grandmother? Qin Shiyan's words contained the answer that the old housekeeper wanted.

"I didn't expect the emperor to find out so many things in a short period of time." The old butler's heart was tumbling like a turbulent wave, but there was no expression on his face.

"Elder Peng, answer my question!" Qin Shi's tone suddenly became stern, like a stern general, questioning the prisoner, Rao is old housekeeper was mentally prepared, and he was also frightened, "Sheng, what does the Holy Lord want to know?" ”

If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. The old housekeeper has not been discovered by Qin Xiaoyan's side for many years, because he has always regarded himself as Qin Xiaoyan's minion, and his servility has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

The habits that have been cultivated over the years cannot be changed overnight. It was Qin Xiaoyan who became angry, and he was instinctively afraid.

"I want to know, that person's identity, his relationship with the Yue family?" After Qin Xiaoyan finished asking, he added, "Don't tell me that I can't say it, I know the usefulness of the Loyal Gu better than you." ”

The excuse was blocked, and the old housekeeper smiled bitterly, "The emperor just knows what to do, he is now a member of the Immortal Gate." ”

"That's my business, you just have to tell me what you know." Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. The other party knows everything, but he doesn't even know the identity of the other party, if he really wants to fight, does he still have a chance to win?

"I don't know much." The old butler knew that he couldn't escape today, so he had to say something. But before he can say that, he has to ask for some benefits for himself.

"Your Majesty, can you let the old slave eat enough?" These days, when he eats a little, he will be induced to vomit, not to mention the discomfort of human tossing, but to say that his stomach has never been full, and he is almost dizzy with hunger.

"Someone, send two bowls of rice." Qin Xiaoyan didn't embarrass the old housekeeper in such a trivial matter. It's just that the answer given by the old housekeeper about how much he eats now does not satisfy him, so he is ready to vomit it twice.

The dark guard was very obedient, Qin said two bowls of rice, he only served two bowls of rice, not even a single vegetable leaf. The old butler didn't dislike it, he picked up the rice and put it in his mouth, eating faster than anything else.

Only those who are really hungry will understand the value of food. will understand how fragrant a bowl of white rice is.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the old butler had eaten all the two bowls of rice, and after taking a sip of water, the old butler finally felt that he had come to life. Dressed neatly, the old butler gave Qin Xiaoyan a salute, "Thank you, Holy Lord." ”

"Say." Qin Shiyan didn't even move his eyes, and said coldly.

The old housekeeper didn't find a reason to shirk this time, and said very simply: "The person the emperor wants to ask is now the master of the Immortal Sect, and he used to be the cousin of the Yue family, that is, your grandmother's cousin. "And what about my cousin and cousin is always easy to breed feelings, even if it's just one-sided, it's feelings.

"Young Master Yue of the Yue family? How did he not die? "Back then, the Emperor Taishang, who was still the emperor, not only personally ordered the destruction of the nine clans of the Yue family, but also personally interrogated and supervised the beheading. None of the in-laws and clansmen of the Yue family escaped the disaster.

Qin Shiyan didn't think that what kind of cousin young master had the ability to escape from that disaster......
