Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Eve of the Storm (3)

His unkindness was not simple, Yu Ming quickly stood up, took two steps back, looked at him with some concern, and said, "Does Your Majesty already know the news that you are still alive?" Do you still have a task in Shu? ”

"Wei Zhiyu confessed to you so quickly?"

"If she doesn't confess, how long are you going to hide it from me? I'm your wife......"

Seeing that she was really a little angry, Ye Cizhun hurriedly hugged her and said softly, "I didn't plan to hide it from you...... I want to tell you slowly on the road, anyway, it will take a few days to enter Shu, don't be in a hurry......"

Su Yuming slapped him on the shoulder, "Then you can make it clear to me now." ”

Brigadier Ye Ci let her go, pulled her to the table and sat down, poured her a cup of tea, and then spoke slowly.

"Qinyu once asked me who Chunyue and I were, and although my answer at the time was ambiguous, you should be able to guess who I and Chunyue were."

"Yes, Your Majesty?"

Ye Cizhun scratched his head, "According to the current situation, it can be counted." Soon after returning from the outlying islands, His Majesty became aware of our relationship with Prince Xiang, and he turned a blind eye to his brotherhood with Prince Xiang. ”

"Prince Xiang?! However, it is rumored that Prince Xiang suddenly fell ill on the way to the seal, and he is the poisonous hand of His Majesty today...... How can there be any brotherhood......"

Ye Cizhun sighed and shook his head, "The things of the year were confusing, if it wasn't for the parties, who would know?" His Majesty does not need to account for his past to his courtiers, and therefore, we do not know. But His Majesty really had no murderous intentions towards Xiangwangfu, and even though he knew that Yi'an's entry into Beijing was a move arranged by King Xiangjun, he still agreed to Chunyue and Yi'an's marriage. ”

"So...... Your Majesty also knows that the king of Xiangjun is secretly colluding with the rebels in the state of Jiaozhou? ”

"Nature knows. Previously, His Majesty was obviously derogatory to me to enter Shu, but in fact, he sent me to open up relations with Nanzhao, and used Nanzhao to form a containment of the rebels in Jianzhou, and then waited for an opportunity to jointly strangle and divide the interests, and also strangled the rebellion conspiracy of Xiangwangfu in the cradle. In this way, it can not only avoid disasters, but also give a warning to the king of Xiangjun, hoping that Liu You will be safe and secure in the future, and spend this life in peace. It's a pity that it backfired, and some people didn't want me to meet with the secret envoy of Nanzhao, and they were eager to get rid of me before I entered the city! ”

Hearing him say this, Su Yuming lowered her head and pondered for a while before saying, "That assassination, we thought it was planned by Xiangwangfu, but later found out that after Liu You's death, there were still people chasing after you, so naturally it was not Xiangwangfu, so who is it...... Permission, who else have you offended? ”

Ye Cizhun held Su Yuming's cold hands and gave her a sense of security, "It's not just you, everyone thinks it's Xiangwangfu...... Shen Yue also avenged the wrong ...... for this."

"Lord Shen?! You said that Lord Shen thoroughly investigated the case of rebellion in the Xiangwang Mansion in order to avenge you?! ”

Ye Cizhun nodded solemnly, "Sort of...... Shen Yue and I met in Weishi, and we were Jinshi and the first in the same year, and we had a deep relationship. He came from a humble background, and he only got an alternate officer after being a scholar, saying that he was an officer, but he had no position, no power, and no money, so that he had no food and clothing, and he was very embarrassed. And I relied on the lintel of the Ye family, appreciated by King Xi, and found an official and a half-position in Taifu Temple, and later I had the opportunity to recommend him to King Xi, and worked hard for King Xi in Taifu Temple. ”

Su Yuming nodded suddenly in realization.

Ye Cizhun frowned slightly, and continued, "Shen Yue was taken advantage of...... In the Jingnan Daojun Lost Nest case, someone must have arranged a lot of false clues, and the article pointed to the Xiangwangfu as the mastermind of Yujiang to harm me, Shen Yue was eager to avenge me, and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false for a while, so he naturally mistakenly thought that the Xiangwangfu rebellion was imminent, and I had lost my use value, so he wanted to kill me. For this reason, Shen Yue was determined to avenge me, and shook off the crime of rebellion against the king of Xiangjun, making it difficult for him to escape death. His Majesty didn't want the Xiangwang Mansion rebellion case to be exposed, but he didn't want Shen Yue to shake it out, which made His Majesty angry. ”

"However, the Xiangwang Mansion does have a heart of disobedience, which is rebellious...... It's not a blame for it. ”

"It is true that the Xiangwang Mansion has the intention of rebellion, but those rebellious things are by no means only done by the King of Xiangjun, and even ...... King Xiangjun himself is also the one who is used, and there are masters behind him! Many of the evidence of rebellion that Shen Yue found should have come from the black hand behind it, but unfortunately he was blinded by hatred for a while, so he couldn't discover the deeper mystery...... As soon as King Xiangjun died, the people and things behind them were even more impossible to investigate. ”

"No wonder the Xiangwang Mansion rebellion case was vigorous, but His Majesty did not reward Shen Yue, who is one of the main investigators, it turns out that Shen Yue is doing bad things with good intentions, maybe His Majesty has found out that he is also being used......"

Ye Cizhun's eyes tightened, and he lowered his head and muttered, "What else is there to see in Nanzhao Kingdom...... This time in Shu, I will definitely find out once! ”

"With Wei Zhiyu's help this time, it should be a lot easier. The Wei family has been deeply cultivated in Guannan Province for more than ten years, and has friendships with the surrounding vassal states and the prefectures. ”

Ye Cizhun raised his sword eyebrows suddenly, "Know the rain? Shouting so out of sight, why did you suddenly get closer? In this way, it shouldn't be difficult to get along with sisters in the future...... Don't be like Yi'an and Qinyu, let Chunyue be in a dilemma. ”

Su Yuming broke away from his embrace, turned around, and snorted coldly, "Then let's see if Miss Wei is willing to be a side room, or, you can leave me first, so as to vacate Mrs. Ye's position, so that you are qualified to hire from Lord Wei's mansion." ”

Ye Cizhun laughed loudly, "How can the daughter-in-law who finally married be willing to take a break?" As he spoke, he picked up Su Yuming by the waist and walked to the bed......

Two days later, before Ye Cizhun and the others left Luo'an, Xue Chunyue's second letter arrived in Ye Qinyu's hands. Everyone who read the letter was dumbfounded, because this place will soon usher in the second uninvited guest, the orphan of Xiangwang's Mansion, the county lord of Yi'an.

Ye Qinyu couldn't hide the loneliness on his face, but he still had to cheer up, because Yi'an was still Xue Chunyue's wife in name, and she naturally couldn't be lazy when she came.

Xue Chunyue did not say much about the reason for Yi'an's departure from Beijing in the letter, and everyone also felt very strange, it stands to reason that Yi'an was imprisoned in Yining Palace, which was like a captivity, and the emperor had no reason to let her leave, I don't know what the meaning of this release is.

Wei Zhiyu thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that there was a rumor in Changxing City that the palace was walking water, and it was said that the place where the water was walked was the side hall of Yining Palace, fortunately it was found in time, otherwise the lord of Yi'an County who lived in the side hall was afraid of his life.

This incident conveyed an important message to everyone, that is, Emperor Hongyuan intended to protect Liu Yi's life, so he privately transferred her from Changxing to Luo'an to live in seclusion to ensure the safety of her mother and son.

But Yi'an's arrival made Ye Cizhun vigilant, and what he had intended to hide before seemed to be less important now, so it was better to inform Ye Qinyu.

In the memory she lost, there seems to be an old thing related to Xiangwangfu......

Ye Qinyu fell into the water twice in Haizhou, once when he ran to the dock with Xue Chunyue to play, and the other time in the back garden of Xue's house. On that occasion in the back garden, when the next person found her struggling in the pond, there were still panicked Liu You, the prince of Xiangwang, and his sister Yi'an, the county lord, standing on the shore.

At that time, King Xiang and the princess brought their family to the Xue family in Haizhou as guests, Xue Chenggui was not embarrassed by the distinguished guests, since Ye Qinyu finally recovered after a few days of coma, so he only regarded this matter as an accident between children and did not mention it.

"I believe that Qin Yu should have heard some secrets of the Xiangwang Mansion, and the princess was worried that she would go out, so she signaled her son and daughter to take advantage of the opportunity to push her into the water in an attempt to kill her. After all, it is common for children to have accidents when they play, and no one will suspect that there is a hidden secret. ”

Ye Cizhun's analysis startled Ye Qinyu, because she didn't have any memories related to the Xiangwang Mansion in her mind, let alone whether she had heard any secrets. She felt a little angry, Princess Xiang dared to attack her so unscrupulously, didn't she just bully her as an orphan under the fence without a father and mother! However, she was also curious about what could make Princess Xiang instruct her two children who were less than ten years old to poison her.

"Do the two siblings, Liu You and Liu Yi, know why their mother wants to get rid of me?"

"Liu You was ten years old at the time, and it stands to reason that he should have known, but he is now dead, and there is no proof of his death. Liu Yi was only five years old at the time, and she was still a child at all, so she probably didn't know. I told you that this is to ask you to place her, this place is Luo'an, not as good as Changxing and Haizhou, and Xue Chunyue is not by your side, when you get along with Liu Yi, you must be careful everywhere. ”

"Xue Chunyue also knows about this?"

He didn't have amnesia about what happened at his house back then, he clearly knew about it, but he couldn't figure out why he wanted to hide it from her.

Ye Cizhun knew her thoughts, so he comforted her and said, "Chunyue doesn't want you to get involved in these old things, and no one knows what these things are now." Besides, you don't remember what you heard, and even if you did, you might not be able to comprehend the secrets hidden in those words, so you don't need to dwell on them. ”

Yu Ming thought of another layer instead, "I didn't expect Princess Xiang to be so vicious...... She was a mother of two children herself, and she didn't want to have no mercy for a five-year-old child. ”

"Princess Xiang is not a simple person...... Uh, however, she has been dead for more than ten years, and she still said what to do with this, Qinyu You just need to guard against Liu Yi. Xinyan, take care of your young lady and keep her away from the lord of Yi'an, there is a good thing, but you ask. ”

Xinyan nodded busily.

The news that Ye Cizhun is still alive is inconvenient to leak too widely, so he must leave before Liu Yi arrives in Luo'an. Two days later, late at night, Ye Cizhun quietly left Luo'an with Su Yuming and Wei Zhiyu, and Ye Qinyu supported Tai Xiangxing alone.

A few days later, Liu Yi's carriage arrived at the west gate of Luo'an, Taixiangxing shopkeeper Yi Ruhai personally went out of the city to greet him, and when the time came, night fell, and he quietly came to the house on the outskirts of the city.
