Chapter 15: The Mystery of the Hou Mansion
Su Yexi covered her lips and chuckled, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and she said slowly and powerfully
"This grape is one of the tributes offered by the Persian country this year, it is said that it was transported from Xinjiang, my father has always won the trust and love of the emperor in the court, so the emperor rewarded some to my father, my father has always been the most filial, all to my grandmother, just came back, my grandmother let me take some."
Zhihua nodded thoughtfully, her eyes were as clear as a spring, and her smile was cute: The old lady really loves Miss, and she thinks about Miss if she has anything good. ”
Su Yexi smiled softly and did not speak.
"Little, Miss, I'm ......"
"Well, what's wrong?"
Su Yexi turned his head and saw that Zhihua had been staring at the grapes, his eyes were round, and he licked his lips from time to time, Su Yexi couldn't help but laugh
"Silly girl, you can eat if you want, anyway, there are so many, I can't finish it."
Zhihua smiled happily, his face flushed slightly, and he said embarrassedly
"Thank you, miss."
As she spoke, she picked up the grapes and ate them, muttering as she ate: "It's so sweet, it's really sweet." ”
Mama Hua and Su Yexi on the side glanced at each other, and the two couldn't help but smile and teased
"Zhihua, you see that you eat like a child, eat slowly, and there is more."
"Well, thank you, miss."
"Mama, you eat too."
Mama Hua looked at Su Yexi with a smile in her eyes and bowed her body: "Miss Xie." ”
Su Yexi looked at the book, the sun was sprinkled on her body, she only felt that her eyelids were too lazy to lift, she yawned, and Mama Hua took a cup of soothing tea and said softly
"Miss is tired, otherwise go and rest for a while, today the old lady took the second young master to the Zhentang River Shangshui Mansion, it is estimated that she will have to wait until the evening to come back."
"Zhentang River Houfu?"
Su Yexi suddenly came to his senses and thought a little
"But settle down and wait for Li Shiming's mansion?"
"Yes, miss, what's wrong?"
Su Yexi's eyes dimmed, and he remembered some things that happened in his previous life, this stable Li Shiming is one of the four major families in Fenglin City, and he occupies a place in the Yi Kingdom with the art of practicing incense, and is quite valued by the first emperor.
At that time, the first emperor had a total of eleven sons, all of whom were very good at Wen Taowu and very good, but the first emperor's favorite was his eleventh prince Murong Fu, and everyone knew that the eleventh prince was the most likely candidate to be made the crown prince.
However, the first emperor did not issue an edict for a long time, and the eleventh prince was also secretly targeted, and it didn't take long for him to die of assassination.
After the death of the first emperor, the ten princes suddenly disappeared, so the nine sons seized the heirs, and the dark tide was surging, just when the nine princes were fighting for their heads, the ten princes, who were the current emperor Murong Tian, suddenly appeared with the edict of the first emperor, and set up the ten princes Murong Tian as the crown prince, so he successfully ascended the throne with the help of Li Shiming.
However, after Murong Tian ascended the throne, he suffered from the emperor's common disease and was suspicious, and then in the third year of Hexu, he also found evidence of the treason of Li Shiming and Horqin......
Calculating that this year is the second year of Hexu, that is to say, next year, the Hou Mansion will suffer this catastrophe, and she naturally knows the reason why the Hou Mansion was really destroyed.
In the previous life, the Li family had a wonderful skill of practicing incense, Li Shiming held the military power again, and was proud of his achievements, the emperor had long been jealous of him, and finally made the emperor murderous because Li Shiming's youngest son Li Bonan actually insulted the emperor's favorite five princesses, and the five princesses committed suicide on the spot.
In the previous life, she was framed for poisoning her grandmother, was kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was almost humiliated by a group of beggars, but it was Li Yuting who saved her in time.
Li Yuting is Li Shiming's daughter-in-law, when they were young, their two families lived together, so they played together since they were children, and their relationship was very good, but when Su Yexi was seven years old, Li Shiming moved to Zhentangjiang with his family, and they had no contact.
In the last life, she rescued her for the first time in seven years, and the two didn't recognize each other at first, because of a jade pendant on Su Yexi's body, Li Yuting recognized her, and then, in order to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Yuting begged her father under her shameless pleading to help her regain her identity as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was since then that he met Murong Chen......
Su Yexi thought about it, no matter what, she also wanted to repay the kindness of the previous life, and this time she could stretch out a hand.
She remembered that when evidence of treason was found in Li Shiming's study, it was the summer of Hexu's third year, and the fifth princess was humiliated in the spring of Hexu's third year.
It is now the spring of the second year of Hexu, and there is still time, the reason why the emperor is afraid is nothing more than because Li Shiming has a heavy army in his hands and he is proud of his own achievements......
Su Yexi recalled her previous life, and heard Mama Hua say again
"When I was young, Madame took you there once or twice......
As soon as the words fell, Mama Hua hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a panic
"Miss, I'm sorry, the old slave said the wrong thing, I shouldn't mention Mrs., please punish Miss."
Su Yexi's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, and he sighed
"What are you doing, get up."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hands to help her, and Mama Hua was stunned and flattered
"How can you let Miss help the old slave, Miss doesn't blame the old slave, the old slave is already very good."
Su Yexi sighed helplessly, and said with guilt in her eyes
"Mama, I'm sorry, Ye Xi was ignorant in the past, Mama rest assured, Ye Xi will not be willful in the future."
Mama Hua looked at Su Yexi in surprise, is this still her young lady? Since the accident with Madame, the eldest lady has not allowed others to mention Madame.
Before, there was a new maid who didn't know it, and gossiped about the eldest lady and the lady behind her back, and when the eldest lady found out, she punished her to prune the flowers and plants near the hundred carp pond every night.
If she is in good spirits the next day, it proves that she is lazy, and the eldest lady will be punished more heavily, but the girl has suffered a lot, I don't know who secretly told Prime Minister Su Cheng that the eldest lady abused the maid, and Prime Minister Su Cheng punished the eldest lady in anger, and the matter was over.
As a result, one morning, everyone found the body of the maid in the carp pond, and for a while, the maids in the house were all panicked, and they all said that the eldest lady was angry and killed the maid, and no one dared to mention the lady since then, and the eldest lady also fell into a vicious notoriety.
Su Yexi naturally saw what Mama Hua was thinking, there was a maid who died in Baili Pond for no reason before, but she was labeled as a murderer, because it was just a maid who died, no one cared, and no one would investigate the truth, now that I think about it, that maid died very strangely, I am afraid that she will not be able to have anything to do with Gu Qingwei, but unfortunately she has no evidence all along, so that she herself is wronged.
Thinking of her mother, Su Yexi only felt sadness coming from her heart and said sadly
"I don't know how my mother is, I haven't seen her for a long time."
Hearing this, Mama Hua was also slightly uncomfortable in her heart and said
"I heard that my wife is very sick now, and she drinks all kinds of medicine every day, I don't know if she is getting better."
"Oops!"
Su Yexi reacted violently, his brows furrowed, his face was gloomy and cold like a quiet spring in the middle of the night, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself
"How did I forget about this, Su Yexi, Su Yexi, if your mother has any strengths and weaknesses, you can be worthy of her!"
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Mama Hua and Zhihua on the side saw that Su Yexi's face was not good, and asked worriedly.
Su Yexi looked at Mama Hua and spoke calmly, her voice was cold: Mama, I am going to see my mother tonight, you and I will stay here at night.
Hearing this, the two were shocked, and Mama Hua looked worried: Miss, the prime minister said that no one is allowed to visit Madame, not even the old lady, if the prime minister knows, Mademoiselle will definitely be punished.
"Yes, Miss, you have to think clearly."
Zhihua nodded and said hurriedly.
Su Yexi's face was cold, and her tone was firm: My mother has suffered so much for me, and now it is the most uncomfortable and painful time for her, my father and grandmother have abandoned her, how can I, as her daughter, give up on her?
Anyway, I'm going to go tonight, and if you're afraid, stay here and I'll go myself. ”
