In the palace of nourishing the heart, Emperor Xuantong sat on the dragon chair, his hands were placed on the huge pear blossom wood carved dragon royal case, on the case a three-legged hollow gold beast copper incense burner, was bubbling out of the smoke, emitting a camphor-like taste, it was a domineering smell, which made people's brains suddenly wake up.

The wealth and majesty of the heavenly family are everywhere, and people can't help but soften their legs and want to kneel.

This is the power of imperial power, which has permeated the air.

In front of him stood several courtiers, all with their heads bowed and silent.

With a bang, all the twists and turns on the imperial case were swept to the ground, and Emperor Xuantong had a cold face and roared like thunder: "What did you say? Say it again! ”

Mei Youde stood behind him with his hands in his sleeves, trembling almost imperceptibly when he heard the words, his eyes slanted slightly, and glanced at the several adults present, as well as Xue Jinian, who looked indifferent.

These adults were summoned to the palace this morning to discuss with the emperor the framing of the four princes, although the order of the four princes has been issued, but this matter can not be stopped, if you can't find out who is behind the scenes, how dare Emperor Xuantong sit back and relax.

In the deep palace, such terrifying things happened one after another, how can people be relieved. The other party can frame the four princes without any flaws today, and he will definitely be able to kill him unknowingly one day.

Emperor Xuantong didn't expect that the palace, which he thought was the safest nest of joy, once upon a time, would become the existence of this ghostly gate.

"Your Majesty is angry." Several courtiers knelt down in panic, but Xue Jinian was noncommittal, but also knelt on the side with everyone.

"Rest your wrath, you shit! Get out, get out of here! ”

Several courtiers didn't dare to say anything more, and they all saluted and quickly evacuated, before they crossed the threshold, boom! The only remaining copper furnace on the imperial case flew out sideways and smashed on the carved door frame of the Yangxin Palace, frightening the courtiers to flee away.

Emperor Xuantong gasped, only to feel a terrible pain in his heart. He clutched his chest and took a few deep breaths, only to find that Xue Jinian was still kneeling in place.

"You're not leaving?"

Xue Jinian kowtowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon body." ”

Emperor Xuantong snorted coldly, but did not reprimand him, and said, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuantong pinched his forehead, propped his head sideways, and said in a deep voice: "I have always believed in your ability, why is there no clue about this matter so far?" ”

So far, it has only been five days since the case of the Four Princes. Because of his anxiety, he realized that his life was like a year.

Xue Jinian bowed down and replied: "Weichen is ashamed." ”

"This person dares to attack the prince in the palace, and he will dare to attack me next time! If you don't find out, you won't be able to sleep and eat. ”

Weichen understood, but the other party's methods in this matter were really clever, and there were no clues at the scene. Wechen dared to guess...... "He paused.

"Say!"

"Yes, Weichen guessed, could it be the people in the palace?"

Emperor Xuantong's face changed: "Do you also think it was the sixth child?" "He was angry just now, just because those old ministers also had this kind of suspicion.

His voice was very low, and the majesty of the emperor was invisible, staring at Xue Jinian tightly. In the past few days, more than one person has been blowing wind in his ears, and the six princes are the most suspicious.

The emperor who listened was very annoyed, and the brother was the wall, and he did not want to see it. Although he himself stepped on the blood of his brother when he ascended to the throne, it does not mean that he wants to see his children and grandchildren do the same.

Xue Jinian didn't seem to see the emperor's gloomy face, and continued: "No, on the contrary, Weichen feels that this matter should have nothing to do with the six princes. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xuantong's face softened: "Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Xue Jinian was neither humble nor arrogant and continued: "There is a rumor that the most promising ones in the battle for your positions are the four princes and the six princes. Everyone knows that as long as the four princes make a mistake, the biggest beneficiary is the sixth prince. But it is precisely because of this that the six princes cannot act rashly. Just because the four princes had any accidents, the biggest doubter was also the sixth prince. So Weichen dared to guess that this matter had nothing to do with the six princes. ”

What he said was only speculation, and like the courtiers who had no evidence just now, it was just his own conjecture. But even if it was a conjecture, it also thought of the emperor's heart.

Emperor Xuantong was very pleased to hear this, and his expression eased again, and then he said: "What you said is just speculation, the person behind it has not appeared for a day, and the suspicion on the sixth child has never been erased in the eyes of the world." ”

He is very satisfied with these four or six princes, and now that the four princes have an accident, he has high hopes for the six princes. He didn't want any stain on his favorite prince.

"Weichen understands, and he will definitely step up the investigation and find out the real culprit behind the scenes."

Emperor Xuantong nodded with satisfaction, he leaned on the dragon chair, one hand hanging under his waist, unconsciously stroking the pendant on his waist, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was silence in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a while.

If the emperor is silent, his subordinates naturally can't make a sound. Xue Jinian stood quietly at the bottom, his eyes calmly fell on Emperor Xuantong's hand, it was half a jade pendant carved and shaped like a lotus, His Majesty loved it very much, and he always carried it with him.

"What's going on with King Huai's Mansion?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it has been a few months since the prince of Nan returned to Nanling, and Weichen received the news a few days ago, and everything is going well."

"Oh? Uncle I don't have any suspicions? ”

"Lord Nan rescued and was sealed, who can put his beak! Even if King Huai felt uncomfortable, he didn't dare to show a thing or two. He paused, and then said: "Wechen heard that the prince of Huaiwang is dissatisfied with the king of the south, and now there are contradictions in the palace of the king of Huai, and in a short period of time, the king of Huai has no energy to think about the big rebellion." ”

"Besides, leaving the king of the south, with the personality of the prince who is stubborn and self-serving, and the son of the world, if he thinks about things, it will be difficult. Moreover, with the King of Nan guarding Nanling, they must have a lot of concerns. His Majesty can come up with such a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and Wei Chen admires it very much. ”

Emperor Xuantong laughed, and suddenly he was full of energy, and he didn't look like an old dog at all, he nodded his finger at Xue Jinian refreshedly, and said with a smile: "You kid, you are a personal essence." ”

Xue Jinian also laughed, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." ”

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent......

This matter is a long story, Xue Jinian went out of Beijing that day, and he was not rushing to take Princess Changning back to Beijing. In fact, over the years, Emperor Xuantong has seen the frequent changes in the Huaiwang Mansion, but King Fan is out of reach. The court sent many spies to Jingyang, but unfortunately they found nothing.

The superficial work of the Huai Wangfu was too good, so even if Emperor Xuantong had doubts about them, there was no evidence. And what worries him even more is that he is surrounded by foreign enemies, once he really catches the evidence, how to deal with Huaiwangfu?

The act of civil war, at least exhausting the people's fat, and at worst dividing the territory and dividing the territory, is a major event that shakes the country's foundation, and Emperor Xuantong never wants to see this happen unless it is absolutely necessary.

So later, with Xue Jinian's plan, Yin Zishang was introduced to Shangjing.

How to bring Yin Zishang into Shangjing quietly and foolproofly, the monarch and the minister have been thinking about it for a long time. In the end, it was decided to borrow Tianguan Temple and his party to hide their whereabouts.

Although the layout has been made, it is indeed a fact that Xue Jinian was ambushed all the way. It's just that he will do everything he can to get out smoothly. Of course, even if there is no pursuit by the man in black, Xue Jinian will change to the waterway in the end.

At least their last battle in the water was done by the people of Dongchang.

This is also the reason why after Hua Qian stabbed a man in black with a knife without knowing the truth, Admiral Xue overshadowed the old man for a long time.

It was painstaking, but fortunately, the ending was a happy one.

Yin Zishang went back this time, even if Huai Wangfu wanted to reuse him, he would not be able to rest assured, besides, as long as Yin Zishang was not a brain pit, it would be impossible to go to a place with Huai Wangfu again.

After all, with his identity, even if King Huai succeeds, he will not get more benefits.

Emperor Xuantong exchanged a title for the father and son of the ghost in their hearts, and they were suspicious of each other.

As long as King Huai's father and son are separated from morality, as long as Yin Zishang takes a firm stand, the imperial court can remotely control Nanling, and all the activities of Jingyang will be under the nose of Emperor Xuantong.

Therefore, the matter of taking Princess Changning back to the palace is a drama from beginning to end, and it is a play for Jingyang Huaiwangfu to see! sweet potato

Of course, the catastrophe of the Moon Palace was something that Emperor Xuantong did not expect, and his original plan was to keep Yin Zishang in the capital for a longer time, to find an opportunity to give him grace and power, and he was not afraid that he would not obey. However, after the incident in the Moon Palace overnight, after Xue Jinian's reminder, Emperor Xuantong woke up and took this opportunity to add an official to Yin Zishang It is very appropriate, which can not only reflect Yin Zishang's loyalty and courage, but also reflect his prestige as a Ming monarch.

Therefore, this matter is logically implemented for Yin Zishang.

In fact, as long as Yin Zishang was present that day, even if he didn't desperately save him, Emperor Xuantong would give him a reward. It's just that his heroic performance at that time made his reward even more justified.

However, in the eyes of Yin Zishang, this matter is not the case at all. He only knew that Admiral Xue had planned a lot to help him ascend to the throne. Although 500,000 gold is a lot, it is not a loss at all to buy him a knighthood. Besides, if he doesn't spend it at this time, this batch of gold will not end up in his pocket, and he will have to take a huge risk.

Yin Zishang also somewhat understood Emperor Xuantong's thoughts, but so what, there was nothing to lose from him. As for how he will explain to Prince Huai after returning to Nanling, Yin Zishang is not worried. It can even be said that what he really has to worry about at this time is his father.

This matter is considered a joy for the guest and the host, and it has come to an end for the time being.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, the two of them chatted a few more words, Xue Jinian was about to retire, and Emperor Xuantong suddenly spoke: "Is there an echo about the matter of the young concubine?" ”

Xue Jinian was stunned for a moment, and then replied peacefully: "Wechen is ashamed, after many years, the people who had friends with Nian Concubine Niangniang at that time have all passed away, and Wechen has been investigating for a long time, but he still hasn't got a word of news." ”

When Emperor Xuantong heard this, he didn't blame him, he reached out and took out the jade pendant from under his waist and put it in his palm, his thumb gently stroked the carved patterns on it, half nostalgic and half sentimental, and said: "You can't blame you for this." After so many years, if she still had a heart for me, she would have appeared a long time ago. ”

He sighed and said with a little remorse: "If I had used her more heart, I think she would not have broken her faith and left. ”

"Over the years, in the harem, there is no one who has the demeanor of a young concubine, which makes me miss it."

Looking at Emperor Xuantong's affectionate man's appearance, Xue Jinian lowered his head to cover the taunt that flashed in his eyes.

If it is really the love of a lifetime, how can it be that in the past 20 years, there have been more and more women in the harem, and none of them have been left behind.

As early as when he was at the head of Dongchang, Emperor Xuantong privately ordered him to investigate, but unfortunately for so many years, he had no clue.

In fact, she can't be called a young concubine, because she is not officially canonized.

Nian Concubine's real name is Nian Qingrong, it is said that when Emperor Xuantong was still a prince, she traveled for a day, and fell in love at first sight with the young girl who went out to the suburbs to step into spring.

This young girl has very good luck, and some people want to have children, but they may not be pregnant with a phoenix every night. She is good, and Emperor Xuantong is only a spring breeze, but there is one.

Emperor Xuantong was still a not very favored prince at that time, and he was very happy to learn about this, and he was planning how to take this young girl into the mansion. But the prince is a prince after all, even if he is not favored, he is also a prince. It's nothing to say that you want to play with girls, but once you want to include a girl who has no name and no share into the mansion, even if it is a little lady, it will have to be approved by the emperor.

This year, the girl's status was low, and there was no matchmaker, and the emperor and queen of Chenghe at that time really looked down on her.

This year, the girl is also a backbone, and when she learned the emperor's thoughts, she didn't know whether she could see her future life situation clearly, or she didn't want her lover to run around for her affairs, so she took her belongings overnight and ran away with the ball.

When Emperor Xuantong returned to the province, he had long since disappeared, and for so many years, there was no news.

I have to say that the young concubine's trick is high, people are always like this, what is lost is beautiful, even if she was angry when she heard that she didn't say goodbye, so many years have passed, and she has long since dispersed, but when she dreams back at midnight, she recalls the youthful time that is gone forever, in addition to lamenting the rush of time, she also brings a lot of memories to the lover of that youth.

The people in the memories are infinitely beautiful, so the young concubine relied on this old man filter to become the cinnabar mole in the emperor's heart, and she could kill the white moonlight of the entire harem in seconds.

"Keep looking, I believe that she will definitely return to me with my child."

"Obey."

East Plant

Xue Jinian sat alone behind the bookcase, holding a silver butterfly in his hand, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know how long he had been reading.

It's another year of white dew, and it's been a year since he met Hua Asa last year.

Since entering the palace to visit Hua Qian that day and accidentally meeting Shen Ye, Xue Jinian has never seen Hua Qian again.

He didn't know how to face her.

cough cough cough ...... He raised his hand to the corner of his lips and coughed lowly.

Xue Qi pushed open the door and came in, and when he saw this, he took off his robe from the hanger on the side, and shook it off to put it on for Xue Jinian: "The wind is blowing, the governor will take care of his body." ”

Xue Jinian coughed a few more times before shaking his head and saying, "It's okay, is there any news?" ”

Xue Qi lowered his hand and stood under his head, and said in a guilty voice: "My subordinates are incompetent. The subordinates have already released all the shadows, but there is still no information. ”

Xue Jinian's eyes calmly turned to the silver butterfly in his hand, and said, "Doctor Gu has always been uncertain, so continue to look for it." ”

Xue Qi frowned, and there was almost a Sichuan character between his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Xue Jinian asked.

Xue Qi groaned slightly, and replied: "Actually, two days ago, someone said that there was a miracle doctor in northern Xinjiang, and his subordinates had asked people to rush to northern Xinjiang, but there has been no news so far. ”

Xue Jinian raised his eyes and said, "This is a good thing, why don't you report it?" ”

Xue Qi said: "The subordinates are worried that the news is wrong, and the Lord is happy. The subordinates originally wanted to wait for the matter to be clear before reporting to the overseer, and if there was no major event in the East Factory recently, the subordinates wanted to go and find out in person. ”

Xue Jinian said: "The road to Northern Xinjiang is far away, and it takes a lot of time to come and go, and the governor has other important things for you to do." ”

Xue Qi said hurriedly: "But I'm afraid the overseer's body won't be able to wait too long." The voice was anxious and helpless.

"What if Heaven is determined to repeat the mistakes of this Governor?" Xue Jinian turned the silver butterfly, his eyes were cold, and said: "Life is in the world, most of you are helpless, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, that's all." ”

This kind of emotion, if it was in the past, he would never have produced it, but these days, he suddenly felt that maybe there was a fate in this darkness.

He changed some things, but he couldn't change everything.

For example, Hua Qian and Shen Ye.

He didn't know when they had crossed paths.

"Is there anything about Shen Ye?"

Xue Qi said: "Back to the Governor, the spies came to report that the third son of the Marquis of Ningchang Mansion left home to learn art since he was a child, and declared that he was weak and sent to the countryside to raise his body. Until four years ago, Shen Ye suddenly returned to Beijing, and soon joined Jinyiwei through the relationship of Houfu, and the official has been until now. It's just that his subordinates are incompetent, and he has never found out what faction Shen Ye is from. ”

Although Xue Jinian couldn't get along with Shen Ye in his previous life, he didn't know much about his past, he had a lot of enemies at that time, and he was busy killing all sides every day, how could he have the energy to explore the origin of a brocade guard. At this time in his previous life, Shen Ye had only been in charge of the Jinyi Guard for a short time, and he was not his opponent at all. At that time, he only thought that Shen Ye was taking advantage of the east wind of the Marquis of Ningchang Mansion to gain a firm foothold in Jinyiwei.

However, in this life, because of the shallow flowers, he began to track down Shen Ye's past.

Xue Jinian's hand holding the silver butterfly tightened slightly, as long as he thought that Hua Qian would have something to do with Shen Ye, his heart swelled with anger: "Continue to investigate!" In life, as long as you live, there are clues. If you can't start from him, you will start from the Ningchang Hou Mansion, the governor doesn't believe it, the Ningchang Hou Mansion will be an iron and copper wall, and he can't dig out a concubine's past! ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that the master seems to be in a bad mood, and this bad mood seems to be related to the woman Hua Qian.

Xue Qi decided not to continue the topic, he said: "Overseer, the fourth prince has left Beijing, what should we do?" ”

Speaking of business, Xue Jinian calmed down, he turned his head slightly, glanced at Xue Qi, and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

"The subordinates think that letting him go so easily is too cheap for him."
