Chapter 663: Mirror
Looking at Ye Qing who was leaving, the smile on Shi Miyuan's face was gradually replaced by killing intent.
He didn't believe that Ye Qing would be able to find a way for the Imperial City Division to be a traitor in just three days.
What's more, in his opinion, with the current relationship between Li Heng and Ye Qing, Ye Qing's suspicion should be placed on Li Heng, and it should never be on Song Qian, who returned to Lin'an with him.
Seven days Shi Miyuan was obviously unwilling to accept it, because there would be many unexpected changes in seven days, and King Xin returned to Lin'an as scheduled, he was not sure how much Princess Xin could occupy in Zhong Qing's heart, whether it was enough for him to kill Ye Qing.
Ye Qing appeared at the gate of the Prince's Mansion again, and the guards of the Imperial City Division did not wait for him to speak, and immediately led him into the Prince's Mansion.
Zuo Yu said as he walked: "Commander Li asked me to tell you that King Xin has already arrived in Lin'an, and it is possible that he has entered the palace now." ”
"Anything else?" Ye Qing asked as he walked, this is not the latest news, not to mention that he also met King Xin outside the palace.
"It may be Song Qian......." Zuo Yu spoke again: "But Commander Li doesn't dare to confirm it yet, because only Song Qian is the most suspicious. ”
Ye Qing sighed a little helplessly, there was indeed something wrong with Lin'an's umbrella, and it must be Shi Miyuan or Shi Hao's ghost behind it.
Li Heng is afraid that he still doesn't know that Zhong Qing's matter has been known to Shi Miyuan, so it can be judged that it was Song Qian who told Shi Miyuan the news of Zhong Qing.
And the reason why he knew that it was very likely that Song Qian rebelled, and pretended not to know to make a deal with Shi Miyuan, in addition to wanting to paralyze Shi Miyuan, and making Shi Miyuan think that Zhong Qing was indeed an Achilles heel, he also wanted to use Shi Miyuan to test it, and then Zhao Gou planned to let himself toss in Lin'an for a few days.
Three days, seven days, one is the date set by himself, and the other is the deadline given to him by Shi Miyuan, so it is obvious that within these seven days, it is the time when he can still move freely.
"You immediately go to Yongjin Mansion and take Zhao Caiqing to the Prince's Mansion, it is best to create the illusion that he has been kidnapped." Ye Qing looked at Li Fengniang in the afternoon garden, and whispered to Zuo Yu again.
Zuo Yu nodded, and then walked towards the outside of the Prince's Mansion, while Ye Qing walked over to meet Li Fengniang's gaze.
"The prince is not here, maybe he knows that you are going to persuade me after the next court, so he avoided it first, lest he let you persuade me." Li Fengniang waited for Ye Qing to get closer, and then took the lead in speaking.
"Then thank you Crown Princess, I have limited time and need Li Lifang's help, where is he now?" Ye Qing asked bluntly.
Li Fengniang frowned: "Li Lifang, what are you looking for him?" I warn you, your business is your business, and you don't get involved in it. ”
"I just want to borrow the workshop that will be used as a prison, you should know that nowadays, for me, there is no place in Lin'an that is completely safe, except for the prince's mansion will be the prison." Ye Qing said calmly.
"You're going to hide in the prison as a shrunken turtle? Then why don't you just run back to Huainan East Road, it's better than causing trouble for me here...... Li Fengniang frowned and raised her eyebrows.
"The court didn't let me leave, how can I leave? Let alone...... Who told you I was going to be a shrunken turtle? I'm free to intend to! Haven't you always wanted to be a queen, and if I have achieved results in the next few days of being a prisoner, maybe the deadline for you to sit on the throne of the queen will be a little earlier. Ye Qing sneered and said, the faint murderous aura in her tone made Li Fengniang can't help but get goosebumps all over her body, as if she had returned to the situation on the day she got married.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Li Fengniang got up and asked.
"I'll see you in three days, I'm thinking about you, so you'd better put away your curiosity, otherwise it's a curse or a blessing for you." Ye Qing warned Li Fengniang seriously.
Li Fengniang smoothed the goosebumps on her arms under her thin clothes, and looked at Ye Qing quietly for a long time before she said, "Okay, I promise you, but you have to promise that your affairs will never implicate the people of my Li family." ”
"The borrowing will be used as a prison, not Li Lifang, the reason why Li Lifang is used is because you brothers and sisters are very greedy, and when the time comes, you will never want others to know all this, this is for your good." Ye Qing repeated again.
Li Fengniang nodded, and motioned to Zhu Ye'er to inform Li Lifang, in the next three days, no matter what Ye Qing wanted, he would agree to him, of course, this meant that Ye Qing made reasonable requests.
Although Li Fengniang was curious about what Ye Qing wanted to use as a prisoner, she finally pressed her curious mind, in her opinion, since Ye Qing chose to be a prisoner, then if it was done, she would definitely be able to know the answer, so there was no need, now to force this minister who was unwilling to tell him the truth, to give herself a satisfactory answer.
In the three days, Ye Qing never went anywhere, and he plunged into the prison and never came out again.
And Li Lifang also tried his best to meet all of Ye Qing's requirements when the second monk was confused, and he gave him what he wanted, even the carpenter and so on, he prepared several for Li Lifang.
And Li Fengniang also appeared with the prince in the workshop where she would be imprisoned once in the past three days, but she didn't even see Ye Qing's face.
After learning from Li Lifang's mouth that Ye Qing asked for a lot of mercury and other things, Li Fengniang's heart couldn't help but start thinking, could it be that Ye Qing wanted to make poison, who did he want to poison?
Although three days is not a long time, it can be said to be like a year for those who are curious.
Even in the three days that Ye Qing disappeared, even Zhao Gou was a little skeptical, would this Ye Qing run away against the will of the imperial court?
Similarly, Wei Guogong Shi Hao and Shi Miyuan are about Ye Qing's disappearance, although they have some foundation in their hearts because of Shi Miyuan's puzzles, but they are also worried about whether this will be Ye Qing's strategy to secretly Chen Cang.
In the past three days, Ye Qing has not been in contact with anyone, naturally, Bai Chun secretly returned to Lin'an, and now Ye Qing naturally does not know.
When he walked out of the prison again, Li Lifang only saw Ye Qing holding a wooden box in his hand, which was built by the craftsmen yesterday, and he didn't know what it contained.
Looking at Li Lifang who was standing not far from him, Ye Qing beckoned to him, and when Li Lifang walked around, he said with a smile: "Tell your sister, don't be curious about what I did, if I am still alive, I will definitely tell her this secret." Oh, by the way, give this to your sister, don't open it. ”
A wooden box about one foot square was handed over to Li Lifang by Ye Qing, and then he carried another slightly larger wooden box and walked outside the workshop where he would be the prisoner.
Passing through the royal street, crossing the Donghua Gate, and walking under the long vermilion palace walls of the palace again, Zhao Gou in Deshou Palace also began to make wills one after another.
Shi Miyuan came as promised, and when he saw Ye Qing walking alone, he got off the carriage and motioned for the coachman to drive away, while he stood under the palace wall and waited for Ye Qing.
His eyes never left the wooden box in Ye Qing's hand that was approaching him, he endured it for nearly four days, just to know what kind of surprise Ye Qing could give him at the first time.
"Brother Ye knows that Shi Mou's tea has not been fragrant in the past few days, and he can't sleep at night, and his heart is like a cat scratching, and he has been looking forward to this moment." Shi Miyuan's smile was bright under the sun, and he looked at Ye Qing who was approaching and said.
"In this way, isn't it Ye someone?" Ye Qing directly ignored Shi Miyuan's word Brother Ye, this product is full of milk is a mother.
"Haha...... How dare Shi blame Brother Ye, but Brother Ye should know the consequences, right? If you can't satisfy me, then Brother Ye doesn't blame Shi for ....... Shi Miyuan stared at the wooden box, and finally stopped at Ye Qing's face.
"Although it is not a matter of being entrusted by others and being loyal, since Ye Mou promised Master Shi, how could he break his promise? What's more, Master Shi still holds Ye's handle in his hand, right? Ye Qing's words changed, and the two began to bargain.
Shi Miyuan was afraid that Ye Qing's empty box would cover him, and Ye Qing wanted to know if Song Qian had betrayed him.
Three days is not a short time, but it is not a long time, not to mention that after he finished it, he went straight to the palace wall, and he didn't have time to meet Li Heng at all.
"So what does Lord Ye want to know? How will I know that Zhong Qing is in your hands, or do you want to know, who is the person who betrayed you in the Imperial City Division? Shi Miyuan didn't care about mud and water, and asked directly.
"I want to know." Ye Qing stared at Shi Miyuan's eyes.
"Song Qian." Shi Miyuan said in a deep voice without hesitation.
"No wonder." There was a sneer on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth: "So are others dead or alive now?" Presumably Master Shi also knew that Ye had been in a workshop where he would be imprisoned for the past few days, as if he was isolated from the world, so he was deaf and blind, and he could only know the recent situation of Song Qian from Lord Shi's mouth. ”
"Since I told Lord Ye that it was Song Qian, does Lord Ye think I would let him live? After agreeing to make a deal with Brother Ye three days ago, Shi didn't think that there was still Song Qian in this world, should Brother Ye thank Shi for it? And with the death of Song Qian, even if I tell King Xin the news that Zhong Qing is in your hands, without proof of death, as long as Brother Ye denies it, I think ...... No one can know that Princess Xin is occupied by you Ye Qing, right? Shi Miyuan said with a smile.
"Princess Xin is not in my hands, Master Shi will never know the answer. And even if I, Ye Qing, deny it, Master Shi won't believe it. As soon as Song Qian died, Lord Shi could naturally harm me, and it was only appropriate for me Ye Qing to kill people and kill people, so at least when Lord Shi told Wang Xin that Princess Xin was in my hands, it would add a little credibility. Master Shi is a good abacus. Ye was taught. Ye Qing let down the wooden box and said with a long sigh.
"So, Brother Ye doesn't believe that I will help Brother Ye keep his mouth shut?" Shi Miyuan's gaze was on the wooden box again.
"Song Qian is dead, Master Shi's plan to sow discord has been achieved, and no matter how smart Ye is, there is nothing he can do now." Ye Qing sighed again and said as if admitting it: "As the so-called gentleman is difficult to chase after him, since I promised Master Shi, then I will definitely give the promise made three days ago." ”
"Open right here?" Shi Miyuan looked at Ye Qing, who was squatting directly in the corner, and asked in surprise.
"Or else?" Ye Qing raised his head and asked, after motioning for Shi Miyuan to squat down as well, Ye Qing continued: "There are a total of three mirrors, the top one is for Master Shi, if you are satisfied, if Zhong Qing does not know about the matter, when Ye returns to Huainan East Road, he will definitely tell Master Shi about the method." But if Zhong Qing's matter leaked during this period, then Master Shi ...... The way you can get this mirror will be like Po Li and gouache, spending money to buy it instead of selling it. ”
After Ye Qing finished speaking, he ignored Shi Miyuan, reached out and quickly opened the wooden box, and then Shi Miyuan lowered his head and saw his cheek.
"Ah......h Shi Miyuan, who was taken aback, sat on the ground and looked at Ye Qing with a pale face.
Looking at the wooden box in an instant, Shi Miyuan had a feeling that his head was packed in the wooden box by Ye Qing.
Looking at the smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth, Shi Miyuan, who reacted, hurriedly got up and asked, "This is what you call a mirror?" ”
Looking at Ye Qing's gaze, there was still a hint of surprise, and he wanted to look down at the wooden box again, but he was a little afraid of what Ye Qing would do.
However, looking at Ye Qing and smiling, and then looking down at the mirror, Shi Miyuan also cautiously lowered his head, looking at the mirror-like mirror from the side, Shi Miyuan only saw that the sky above his head seemed to have been knocked into the mirror, it was so clear and so real.
"Why don't you pick it up and take a good look?" Ye Qing smiled and pointed to the mirror inside the wooden box.
"You...... You take it out and try it. Shi Miyuan still couldn't believe that there would be such a clear mirror in this world, and he was afraid that Ye Qing would do something in it, so he squatted and moved two steps back and said.
Ye Qing smiled, and while reaching out to take the mirror, he said: "Remember what I said, there are a total of three mirrors here, this one is for you, this one is for the queen, and the last layer of mirrors...... It's for the Queen Mother, and I hope Master Shi won't be mistaken. After finishing speaking, Ye Qing slowly took out the first mirror, and the mirror had been embedded in the wooden frame by him, including the back of the mirror, which he asked the carpenter to use the fine mahogany to be carved with auspicious patterns and sealed, so that curious people could not know the mystery of the back of the mirror at the first time.
"How?" Ye Qing held the mirror to Shi Miyuan, and Shi Miyuan was like a monster meeting a demon mirror, so frightened that he ran back, always feeling that he was the real person in the mirror, and he was sucked into the mirror.
It wasn't until Ye Qing turned the mirror to himself and looked at his smiling appearance that Shi Miyuan approached cautiously, and after realizing that there was really no danger, he began to take it from Ye Qing's hand carefully, and began to look at his face in the mirror in a novel way.
"It's ...... It's just incredible, it's ...... How can it be so clear, it is simply a treasure, no wonder Brother Ye said that women like it the most, no wonder Brother Ye wanted Shi to give it to the queen and the queen mother, instead of the saint and the emperor. Shi Miyuan faced the mirror, shook his head left and right from time to time, and even turned over the mirror to look behind the mirror in addition to curiosity, whether there was a person who looked the same as himself hidden inside.
"I warn you, this thing is fragile, more fragile than it is Pharli, so you had better keep it carefully until you have a second piece, or else...... The mirror of this world is broken, and there will be one less. Ye Qing warned, and even took out the wooden cover behind him without permission, so as not to leak the aura of the mirror and other mysterious things to scare Shi Miyuan.
"How?" Shi Miyuan asked lovingly holding the mirror.
"When I don't have to worry about my life, after King Xin won't trouble me in Lin'an, I will definitely tell you the way." Ye Qing said seriously.
A household secretary of the Great Song Dynasty, and a pacification envoy and prefect of Huainan East Road of the Great Song Dynasty, the two of them squatted under the vermilion corner of the palace to talk just like ordinary people in Lin'an like to squat at the foot of the city wall and chat.
Even in the end, the two of them sat on the ground again, and continued to bargain over the wooden box in the middle, of course, even in the end, Ye Qing did not tell Shi Miyuan what secret the mirror given to the Queen Mother was hiding.
