Chapter 737: Talking about the matchmaker

As Xue Rui expected, he left Baochang Street and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xue Lingnan was already waiting for him. The grandfather and grandson talked for a long time in the study, and they couldn't help but have some disagreements about whether to use the cause of the death of the tenth princess to suppress King Ning.

Xue Lingnan had found out the truth two years earlier, and it was not that he had not collected evidence pointing to King Ning, but because Emperor Zhaoqing was protective, he had to give up. Now that Emperor Zhaoqing is terminally ill, King Ning is only one step away from the position of the crown prince, Xue Lingnan and Xue Guifei both think that if they don't do it again, it will be too late to wait until King Ning sits firmly in the East Palace, so they simply let go of their hands and feet.

To Xue Rui's surprise, Xue Guifei actually tried her best to secretly change a personal palace maid of the tenth princess out of the palace, this palace maid happened to be clear about the private relationship between the tenth princess and Kong Qi, and on the day the tenth princess jumped down from the Guanhai Tower, she brought Xue Jinxun to the place of the incident.

"Kong Qi is subject to King Ning, and the old man has his own way to let him bite King Ning back, but whether it is that palace maid or Kong Qi coming forward to testify against King Ning, it is not enough to attract attention, it is best to let your righteous sister use the name of death thaumaturgy, and cooperate with you to stage a play in the early dynasty, so as to catch King Ning off guard."

Xue Lingnan said that everything was ready and only owed Dongfeng Feng, and he didn't consider whether Xue Rui would refuse his arrangement.

"Grandfather, did you ever think that in this way, the reputation of the ten princesses would be completely ruined, how could the queen mother sit idly by?" Xue Rui didn't want Yu Shu to take the risk of defeat, so he talked about him left and right.

Xue Lingnan said coldly: "The tenth princess died strangely, do you think the queen will not notice it, in order to protect her daughter's innocence." But it hurt your aunt to bury the fetus in her womb, it was the queen who was unkind first, so why should I have any scruples now, can she still prevent us from targeting King Ning in order to protect the reputation of the tenth princess. ”

Xue Rui felt sarcastic, as Xue Lingnan said, if it was to suppress King Ning, even if the scandalous affair of the tenth princess and others was exposed, the queen was afraid that she would lose her teeth and swallow blood.

It seems that my grandfather and aunt have already discussed it secretly, and they are about to kick the door. Ask him to act as a lobbyist. Borrow Yu Shu's reputation to increase the odds.

Xue Lingnan's eyes were vicious, Xue Rui hesitated, and he saw the clue: "What, is that little girl reluctant to come out like this?" ”

Xue Rui quickly retracted his expression. Bowed his head and said, "What is her reluctance." King Ning regarded her as a thorn in his side because of his thaumaturgy of breaking death. I can't get rid of it quickly, and I can have the opportunity to contribute, but she doesn't want to. It's just that she is not alone after all, the whole family is tied to her, if the crime of King Ning cannot be exposed this time, she will be the most dangerous. I am like a brother and sister to her, and I can't let her take this risk as a girl. ”

Xue Lingnan stared at Xue Rui for a while, then suddenly sneered and said, "Love brother and sister? Do you really think that my old eyes are dizzy and can't see it, you and that Yu Lianfang clearly have a personal relationship with their children, right? ”

Xue Rui's back stiffened slightly, but he looked up to reveal a blank and surprised face: "Where does this start, how could you misunderstand me and her-"

"Okay," Xue Lingnan interrupted his quibble impatiently, and almost bluntly debunked: "Last time, you lied to me that you had a girl you liked, and lied that you were the county lord of Chunwei in the Beijing Palace, I believed it, but after learning that the mother and daughter of the Jiang family fled the capital, you didn't show the slightest worry and abnormality, and I could see that you were wrong." Moreover, you have always acted steadily, but you have a personal vendetta for a woman, and beat Yin Zhourong's youngest son into a waste, do you dare to say that you don't have a personal relationship with that girl? ”

Xue Rui smiled bitterly, it turned out that he actually showed his feet in the escape section of the Jiang family's mother and daughter, and was discovered by his grandfather.

"You don't have to hide it, it's not the same as before, if I let me know two months ago that you fell in love with a wild girl who came from the wrong way, I won't agree to anything, but now the situation has changed, as long as she is willing to agree to come forward to expose King Ning, I will no longer interfere in your affairs." When the matter is done, if you want to marry her, I will let her come to her house to propose marriage. ”

Xue Rui never expected Xue Lingnan to say this, he listened to a tolerant and generous tone speechlessly, confirming that he was not joking, and suddenly became suspicious.

He had always thought that his grandfather knew the secret of Da'an's troubles, and suspected that the two murders in Taishi Shuyuan were secretly instructed by him in order to assassinate the life-breaker and disturb the Da'an royal family. But why does my grandfather seem to have no idea that Yu Shu is a lifebreaker, and he doesn't know the power of the "Xuannu Liuren Book".

What is the explanation for the manager Xu, who is wanted by the emperor, and the suspect who suddenly disappeared from Taishi Shuyuan. Was his grandfather deliberately trying to confuse him, or was he misunderstood?

Many thoughts flashed through Xue Rui's mind, and it was only a matter of a moment, and when he came into contact with Xue Lingnan's eagle-like gaze, he reacted extremely quickly with a surprised and half-believing expression, and said, "Do you really agree to let me marry her?" ”

Xue Lingnan asked him expressionlessly: "Is the old man a person whose words don't count?" ”

Xue Rui clenched his fists and couldn't hide his excitement: "I know, I'll go to her again tomorrow." ”

Xue Lingnan pursed his lips and smiled with satisfaction, and then told him a few words, nothing more than telling him to be cautious not to leak his traces, Xue Rui responded one by one, and finally took advantage of Xue Lingnan's good face to ask him permission to go to the backyard to visit Xue's mother.

Xue Rui walked out of the study, it was already the middle of the night, the courtyard was quiet, Baode walked in front of him with a lantern to light the way, if he turned back, he could see a pair of eyes that were deeper than the night.

Shortly after he left, a dark shadow flashed into the study. Xue Lingnan sat motionless behind the mahogany marble case, looked at the person who came habitually, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said a little tiredly:

"Go back and tell your master, he doesn't know much about Chengbi, and it won't affect the overall situation."

The man in the shadows whispered, "I implore Xiangye to explain carefully, so that the humble can go back to his life." ”

Xue Lingnan frowned, although he was displeased, he still opened his mouth: "He probably only knows who is the great security mischief and who is the lifebreaker, but he doesn't know how to break his life, let alone the "Xuannu Liuren Book". ”

"Thank you, Xiangye, humbly retire."

The window door opened and closed gently, without a sound, and the candlestick on the desk danced with red flames, shining on the countless furrows on Xue Lingnan's face, revealing his old state.

***

Yesterday, it was announced that King Ning was in charge of the country, and the whole dynasty was shocked, and it was rumored that the city was full of wind and rain for a while, and what changes had happened to other yamen Yu Shu didn't know, but she came to Si Tianjian today and obviously found a difference.

When the bell tower was lit, the two officials of the Taicheng Division were talking loudly, saying how wise the Holy Lord had appointed King Ning to supervise the country, Yu Shu inevitably looked at the two of them a few more times, and the other party noticed her gaze, instead of stepping forward to salute her, he leaned his neck and walked away.

Yu Shu raised her eyebrows, turned around and went to Kunling Bureau, and after walking a few steps, someone followed lightly, and said in her ear: "Cao Zuoling is the cousin of His Royal Highness King Ning, and this time Tai Chengsi is straightening his waist." ”

Cao Zuoling is the chief of Taichengsi, and King Ning is in power, no wonder the people of Taichengsi have to their tails.

She squinted at Wen Shao'an, who was walking silently, and asked him, "Today is a double day, should you go to Taishi Shuyuan to take class, why did you come here again?" ”

Wen Shaoan said listlessly: "When such a big thing happens, where are the subordinates in the mood to study, the adults are so self-contained, and they are not in a hurry at all." ”

Yu Shu snorted lightly and teased him: "You can't hold your breath so much, how do I teach you on weekdays, when the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, I don't worry, what are you worried about." "However, this kid can have the consciousness of being her cronie, and it is better not to see King Ning, which is still worthy of praise.

The two gossiped and entered the Kunling Bureau, and Yu Shu found out that Wen Shaoan was not an exception, but a group of subordinate officials and subordinates were all dazed, their complexions were not good, and the whole bureau was full of a malaise visible to the naked eye.

It's no wonder that Jing Chen and Liu Tan have been apprentices and nephews in Longhu Mountain, and there are many people who know this, plus she is commensurate with Xue Rui's brother and sister, isn't Kun Ling Bureau a faction that respects the king, and everyone is in danger.

Yu Shu was infected by this group of people, and she couldn't laugh, otherwise it would seem that she was too heartless. The whole morning was spent in a dreary atmosphere, until the big messenger came to call her.

She intuitively felt that it would not be a good thing to look for her at this time, so she was careful along the way, and when she arrived at Taixi Tower, she entered the door and saw Jing Chen, who was sitting at the bottom of the big mention point, and her face was not very good-looking, and her heart suddenly sudden.

Zhu Muzhao smiled at Yu Shu and beckoned with a pleasant face: "You are here, sit down." He pointed to the chair directly opposite Jingchen and asked her to sit down, and then spoke:

"Yunhua and I were friends before his death, although I didn't watch Jingchen grow up, but he regarded him as a nephew, his parents were not there, the saint was relieved that he couldn't go down, when he left Beijing this morning to go to Huazhen Garden, the saint entrusted his marriage to me. I asked Jingchen privately, and I knew that he had a heart for you, so I volunteered to be a matchmaker and tell the two of you about it. People who learn easy are not bound by red tape, don't be embarrassed, give me a word today, and I can arrange your family affairs. ”

Yu Shu was stunned, she didn't forget the divination before going to bed last night, why didn't she calculate that today's big mention point would run out to protect her fiber. She turned her head to look at Jing Chen suddenly, and shouted to him with her eyes - what did you do!?

Jing Chen replied with a helpless expression, got up and said to Zhu Muzhao: "Shibo, she is a girl and has a mother, how can she decide the marriage matters by herself, why don't you let her go home and discuss with Mrs. Yu, and then reply?" ”

Zhu Muzhao smiled, glanced at him, and looked at Yu Shu again: "It's okay, you go back and talk to your family, and give me a letter tomorrow." ”

Yu Shu opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but Jingchen turned around, turned his back to Da Tidian, and stopped her with his eyes.

Yu Shu jumped over his shoulder, saw the smiling face that Da Tidian slowly put away, and his eyes that seemed to be covered with fog, his heart trembled, and he swallowed his saliva and said: "I'm afraid I can't say it clearly one night, let me go back and think about it, and I'll give you an answer the day after tomorrow, okay?" ”

Zhu Muzhao looked at her lukewarmly, and said the word "good" for a long time. (To be continued......)
