Chapter 645: Old Ginger (4K, with see_an Immortal Treasure +1)
Xu Yanchao was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, the cat was in the bushes, covered his eyes with his hands, and squinted his eyes through his fingers to look forward.
Not far in front of him, a man and a woman sat on a stone bench.
In front of the bushes appears to be a place surrounded by rockeries, with several stone tables and benches scattered on the ground.
The man and the woman sat on a long stone bench with their backs in the direction of Xu Yanchao.
The woman's voice sounded a little familiar, and the jewelry and clothes looked a little familiar from behind, Xu Yanchao involuntarily opened his fingers wider, poked his head out and looked ahead.
The man was tall in a royal blue robe and a silver crown, and one arm was wrapped around the woman's shoulders and embraced her.
Xu Yanchao was shocked.
The women in the palace are all under the emperor's majesty. The woman's dress was obviously a concubine.
But the man who hugged the woman was not His Majesty the Emperor at all!
And that dress looks very familiar!!
The cold sweat on Xu Yanchao's back broke out. He suddenly realized that he had accidentally stepped into a trap. Whether the trap was aimed at him or not, it seemed that he would not be able to escape from it......
Thinking of the chamberlain who brought him over just now, who was now lying motionless in front of the rockery, Xu Yanchao's heart continued to sink.
What would he have to do to pluck himself off?!
A man and a woman in front of them didn't seem to realize that there was someone behind them, and were still touching their heads and whispering.
I don't know what the two said, but the woman turned her head sideways. He chuckled softly and looked up at the man beside him.
Xu Yanchao suddenly saw the other party's side face, and almost screamed.
That's obviously Mu Guifei's appearance!
I also thought that I heard the woman say "...... the child is born" just now, who else in this palace is pregnant except for Mu Guifei?
He was so frightened that he didn't even think about it just now!
Thinking of Mu Guifei saying that she was worried that the child would be discovered by His Majesty, Xu Yanchao suddenly realized that the rumors that had been circulating in Chang'an City recently were true.
The child of the concubine is really not under the emperor's majesty......
Could it be the adulterer in front of him?
Look at the dress of the "adulterer". Xu Yanchao's heart sank into the bottomless abyss.
The dress of the "adulterer" is not the "His Royal Highness the Prince" implied in the rumors. But...... Prince Yi!
He remembered very well that Prince Yi's dress today was a royal blue robe and a silver crown!
Even the height is fat and thin!
Xu Yanchao's heart was in turmoil. I don't know what to do. He was stunned for a moment. Slowly, step by step, I wanted to retreat from the bushes.
At this moment, the two men and women in front of me who were you and me suddenly changed!
Xu Yanchao's eyes suddenly widened. He saw the man's arm retract suddenly, and one hand actually pinched Mu Guifei's neck!
Mu Guifei's face was full of surprise, and she stared at the man beside her, as if she didn't understand why she suddenly became like this. Didn't she follow the prince's instructions and perform a play here? Then she will be reported to His Majesty, and then she will naturally have a way to wash away her "grievances" and splash all the dirty water on Prince Yi......
Why didn't this man listen to the prince, and wanted to kill her!
She couldn't help but want to scream, but the man's hand was so strong that she couldn't breathe, let alone make a sound, and even breathing quickly became a luxury......
The man turned sideways and pinched Mu Guifei's neck with a hideous face.
Xu Yanchao saw the man's side face, and his heart beat like thunder...... That's not Prince Yi's face!
Someone pretended to be Prince Yi and had an affair with Mu Guifei? And then you want to kill Mu Guifei?
Xu Yanchao was a little puzzled.
It's not that Mu Guifei doesn't recognize Prince Yi, how could she have an affair with a pretending Prince Yi?
If Mu Guifei knew, why did she have an affair with this man and obviously let him pretend to be Prince Yi?
Could it be that Mu Guifei is complicit in following the man?
What are they plotting?
But if they are really complicit, why did this man who pretended to be Prince Yi kill Mu Guifei again?!
All kinds of doubts shook in Xu Yanchao's head, making him very dizzy.
Xu Yanchao took another step back blankly. This time, he lost his mind and stepped on a dead wood branch.
The crackling of dead wood branches startled a flock of birds in the silent bushes, hula and flew into the sky.
Oops! It's been discovered!
Xu Yanchao couldn't hide his whereabouts anymore, so he immediately covered his face with his sleeves, turned around and ran back the way he came.
The man heard a crisp sound behind him, and when he turned around, he saw the back of a young man in red, running wildly into the bushes.
The man was also frightened into a cold sweat, and without thinking, he took a handkerchief to cover his face, jumped up from the stone bench, and chased in the direction where the young man in red had disappeared.
He knew that this person must not be kept......
Xu Yanchao let go of his footsteps and ran wildly towards the way he came, rushing into the rockery he had just drilled out from behind, and then came out from the front, but saw that the waiter just now seemed to have woken up, sitting on the ground in a daze, rubbing the back of his head.
The chamberlain didn't die!
Xu Yanchao breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really stupid just now, thinking that someone was going to kill him, so he didn't bother to check on the condition of this chamberlain.
Xu Yanchao hurriedly came out of the rockery, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "It's really uncomfortable for me to die, and I don't know what bad things I ate." Then he asked the attendant who was sitting on the ground, "What's wrong with you?" What do you do while sitting on the ground? ”
The chamberlain stood up with the trunk of the tree, and said with some trepidation: "Third Prince Xu, are you okay?" ”
"What's wrong? What can I do? Xu Yan smiled at Chaoqiang, "What are you doing rubbing your head?" ”
The inner servant knew that someone had knocked him unconscious just now, and he didn't know if Lu Dao was the third prince Xu in front of him, or someone else, but since Xu Sangongzi pretended to be a troublemaker, he also pretended to be a troublemaker. He smiled and said, "I dozed off here just now, and I accidentally fell asleep." Xu Sangongzi didn't have anything to do. As he spoke, he took Xu Yan and walked out.
As soon as I walked to the intersection, I met the haunting Cui Wulang again, stretching his neck to look around.
Seeing Xu Yanchao turning out of the path at a glance, Cui Wulang asked, "Have you seen the Wushuang County Lord?" ”
Xu Yanchao rolled his eyes and said, "I think you still take a dog chain and tie up the Wushuang County Lord." You're looking for her everywhere like this, you don't want people to live a good life, right? ”
Cui Wulang snorted, brushed his sleeves and said, "I want you to take care of it!" With that, he continued on his way.
Xu Yanchao thought for a moment. Or remind him. "It's too dark in there, you'd better look somewhere else. It's a convenient place, and the Lord of the Peerless County won't go there. ”
"Didn't you see the Peerless County Lord? How do you know that she is not there?! Cui Wulang turned around and took a sip of Xu Yanchao, but still left the path leading to the rockery. Went elsewhere.
Xu Yanchao breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to the chamberlain and said, "Let's go back." ”
The chamberlain nodded. He was about to follow him, but he heard several of the emperor's attendants running from the main road, with guards. When he saw him, he said, "Why are you lazy here?" Come with us soon, there's something big going on over there! As he spoke, he took the little chamberlain away.
Xu Yanchao touched his head, remembering what he had just seen, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran towards the way he came. - Those inner servants he recognized, and they had a very high status by Emperor Yongchang's side, and even Xu Shao had to give them half a salute when he saw them. Even they came out, and it seems that the East Window incident happened......
Xu Yan walked faster towards the stuffy head.
On the way, I met Du Hengshuang with two palace maids. Because she didn't want to see Cui Zhenzhen and Mu Yelai's face, she went back to Concubine Yin De and came out to wander in the imperial garden by herself.
"What's wrong with you? Look at this sweaty man. Du Hengshuang saw Xu Yanchao's frightened look, very strange, and walked over to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief.
Xu Yanchao took the handkerchief and wiped it indiscriminately, and said in a low voice: "Sister, let's go back and be with those people." "It's really not a good idea to hide alone. Especially in the court.
Xu Yanchao couldn't help but think of what his father often told him, he didn't take it to heart, and now it seems that those are the words that Lao Cheng is serious. If he can escape this catastrophe, he will definitely listen to his father and stop making his own decisions......
"What's going on?" Du Hengshuang quietly walked a few steps closer to Xu Yanchao's side. She has always felt that the palace is not peaceful today, and she is very irritable in her heart, but so far, except for Cui Zhenzhen and Mu Yelai to respond to her, she has not seen anything abnormal.
Xu Yanchao took a deep breath, and while he returned the handkerchief to Du Hengshuang, he made a few strokes in her palm.
Du Hengshuang took his hand and asked him to write in the palm of her hand.
Xu Yanchao only wrote briefly: "Mu Guifei was killed......"
Although it is only five words, it also takes a lot of effort. Because the word "Mu" is too many strokes and too difficult to write.
Du Hengshuang's whole body suddenly trembled twice, and he hurriedly looked around, and said, "Let's go back quickly." "It's the same as Xu Yanchao thought. At this time, it's better to be with most people, even if you hate some people, it's better than being involved at that time......
The sister and brother immediately walked quickly towards Concubine Yin De.
On the way, they met several groups of chamberlains and palace maids with solemn faces, and they all hurried to the place where they came.
Du Hengshuang and Xu Yanchao were on the side of the road, and when they all passed, they hurriedly came to the place where they had just shot arrows and played polo.
It's empty!
Du Hengshuang and Xu Yanchao were shocked, and hurriedly inquired about the waiters who stayed there, only to learn that Concubine Yin De had called everyone to go to the Ganlu Hall for tea.
Du Hengshuang hurriedly took Xu Yanchao to the Ganlu Palace.
When she came to the door of the Ganlu Palace, the palace maid saw that Du Hengshuang was coming, and she was busy spreading the word to the inside.
Concubine Yin De sent the palace maid out to welcome the two sisters and brothers.
Mu Yelai said with a smile: "We have waited for Mrs. Qin for half an hour, and we haven't seen the shadow of Mrs. Qin Guo. Cui Liangdi volunteered to go out to find Mrs. Qin Guo, didn't you see her? ”
Du Hengshuang's heart sank again, but he said with a smile on his face: "Thank you Cui Liangdi." But I went to look for my brother, I think I missed her. ”
"Really?" Mu Yelai's eyes wandered, his eyes flew over her, he stopped talking, lowered his head and gave the eldest lady Shao Shi sitting beside her a chopstick bright shrimp, and said, "Sister, you try this, it is a famous dish in our Chang'an." ”
Shaw smiled and thanked him, lightly took the shrimp burn, and nodded: "Sure enough, it is a famous dish in Chang'an, and it is really worthy of its name......
Du Hengshuang and Xu Yanchao sat down in a place near the gate in the hall, absentmindedly eating the dishes on the table, and their minds were quickly thinking about how today's matter should end.
Her thoughts subconsciously flew to Xiao Shiji, and her heart was pounding when she thought of Xiao Shiji's every move just now.
These days, the gossip in Chang'an City, the rumors in the imperial city are everywhere, and all of this points to the crown prince and Mu Guifei.
The prince tried his best to block the exit of rumors in Chang'an City, and he got rid of the momentum of three hundred taels of silver here, which seemed to be related to this matter.
Du Hengshuang originally thought that this incident was the beginning of Prince Yi's counterattack against the prince and the vassals of the East Palace.
Who knew that in one day, the peak turned around, and Mu Guifei was actually killed......
Xu Yanchao continued to draw words on Du Hengshuang's palm while eating.
From his description, Du Hengshuang felt more thrilling things.
Why did Mu Guifei's adulterer pretend to be "Prince Yi"? If it was just to put the name of the adulterer on Prince Yi's head, why did he kill Mu Guifei again?
Is it to cause the result of death without proof? - Only in this way can this basin of water be truly muddy!
Du Hengshuang suddenly understood, and remembered what Xiao Shiji said in her ear just now, and she was even more like a pin.
If she didn't guess wrong, Prince Yi would definitely have teamed up with Xiao Shiji, as well as the people in his Tiance Mansion, to make a move in front of His Majesty today. Whether it is to attack the crown prince or to expose the fact that Emperor Yongchang is sterile, there will be a dragon fight!
But the person behind the scenes took a risk and killed Mu Guifei, no matter how great the evidence Prince Yi has, it will be difficult to win the trust of Emperor Yongchang!
And what role did Emperor Yongchang play in this matter?
Is he in the knowing, or is he not in the know?!
Judging from what Xu Yanchao told her just now, Emperor Yongchang already knew about the killing of Mu Guifei, otherwise the powerful servants beside him would not have left him and personally dealt with the matter.
And no one from Concubine Yin's side has come to report yet, so she knows that Emperor Yongchang doesn't want others to know about it......
Why did Emperor Yongchang hide this matter for the time being?
Is he going to lure the serpent out of his hole and watch his two sons? Do you still have to wait and see who people will jump out today to make a statement, in order to see the true attitude of these people?!
Thinking about it this way, Emperor Yongchang's attitude of turning a deaf ear to the rumors in Chang'an City seems to have a new explanation.
Jiang is really still old and spicy......
Du Hengshuang thought to himself, if it was touched on the head of an ordinary man, few people could endure it calmly and calmly, just to wait and see who was making waves in it......
Oh no, Xiao Shiji won't be stupid to be a pioneer for Prince Yi again, right?!
