Chapter 363: Enlightenment
Now that the two of them are here, they can't think of a way.
Hu Yancheng is a person who doesn't like to procrastinate, so in the face of such a entanglement, he simply said: "I will enter the palace to Ming Chu Emperor later, let him decide for himself, in the end, this matter is still what we did wrong, when will the cover-up end?" After all, it will be exposed, the spies of the emperor of Chu are all over the place, and in a few days, the news that Qin'er has one more maid will reach the palace, and it is better to confess directly than to be discovered. ”
After Yun Yi heard this, she immediately fell silent, she hadn't thought about this, but she still lacked courage after all.
"The state of Chu is strong, if we are found by them to hide fugitives, they will have a reason to attack the northern frontier, and they can't let the people of the northern frontier be in the flames of war because of this incident.
Hu Yancheng had already made a decision in his heart, he glanced at Yunyi, and said: "Yunyi, as long as you are loyal to the princess, I will not blame you for the things you did before." ”
When Yun Yi heard this, her heart shook suddenly, she looked at Hu Yancheng, only to see Hu Yancheng with an indifferent look, and only said: "I see everything you do, but because of Qin'er, I just opened one eye and closed one eye." ”
"The slave knows."
Yun Yi felt a panic in her heart, but she still looked at Hu Yancheng, her face did not fluctuate, and said, "Since this is the case, the slave will retreat first." ”
Just when Hu Yancheng was about to enter the palace, in the palace, Leng Yan was reporting to Xiao Yechen.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates have made a discovery."
Xiao Yechen has been in a very good mood these days, and after hearing the words at this moment, he looked at Leng Yan and said, "But Cheng Xiaoyan has a whereabouts?" ”
"The minister has inquired around, and there is an extra maid in the Proton Mansion today."
"Proton Mansion?" Xiao Yechen was a little surprised when he heard this location, he looked at An Mingxun on the side and said, "Could it be that Cheng Xiaoyan is actually cooperating with Proton Mansion?" ”
"It's quite possible." An Mingxun nodded very seriously, he carefully thought about the previous relationship between Proton Mansion and Cheng Xiaoyan, but he couldn't figure out why Cheng Xiaoyan wanted to cooperate with Proton Mansion.
"It can't all be because I want to bring you down, right?"
An Mingxun saw Xiao Yechen's unworried appearance, so he smiled, looking at Xiao Yechen, his eyes were full of fun.
As soon as he heard An Mingxun's words, Xiao Yechen's eyes were cold, he frowned and looked at An Mingxun, and said, "If you are no longer serious, stay in the palace and do things for me!" ”
"The emperor can spare me!" After An Mingxun heard this, he immediately said: "Leng Yan, you may be sure that the maid is Cheng Xiaoyan?" ”
"My subordinates are eighty percent sure."
Leng Yan didn't dare to say it all the time, he explained:
On the day that Cheng's house was raided, someone saw the carriage of Proton Mansion parked in the alley next to Cheng's house, it was Princess Qin. And before
Princess Qin and Cheng Xiaoyan are good friends, this is what Miss Yan said, so it is very likely that Cheng Xiaoyan was hidden in the Proton Mansion by Princess Qin. ”
Xiao Yechen nodded when he heard this explanation, he glanced at Leng Yan appreciatively, and said, "In this way, Cheng Xiaoyan is very likely to be in the Proton Mansion, but this Proton Mansion is not easy to do!" ”
An Mingxun's face was a little ugly and said: "This Northern Xinjiang person is really bold, don't they know that hiding a fugitive is a big crime to kill their heads!" Or do they think that they are from the northern Xinjiang and therefore not bound by the laws of our Chu State? ”
For Northern Xinjiang, An Mingxun has never had a good face, he had a cold face at the moment, and said to Xiao Yechen: "Your Majesty, this Northern Xinjiang people are too arrogant, and please ask the Emperor to give me 100,000 soldiers and horses to level Northern Xinjiang!" ”
An Mingxun hated this kind of person the most, Xiao Yechen knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly persuaded him at this moment: "Mingxun, this matter can't be rushed, we have signed an agreement with Northern Xinjiang, if there is no accident, I am afraid it will be maintained." ”
"In that case, bring the prince and princess of Northern Xinjiang in and interrogate them properly!" An Mingxun snorted coldly, and then said, "The minister will send troops to surround the Proton Mansion." ”
"No."
Xiao Yechen shook his head, he naturally wanted to cut through the mess quickly, but it was not the best time yet.
So he looked at An Mingxun and said: "Cheng Xiaoyan is this person, insidious and cunning, extremely smart, if we act rashly, I am afraid that we will startle the snake, but for now, we should hold back for the time being, and wait for the best time to do it." ”
"The group of dead soldiers of the Cheng family is a big problem, we still have to use Cheng Xiaoyan to find those dead soldiers, we can't touch her."
After An Mingxun heard this, he had to admit that what Xiao Yechen said was very correct, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart, and finally looked at Xiao Yechen and said, "In this case, what is the emperor going to do?" ”
"Waiting for Cheng Xiaoyan's next move."
At this moment, a guard stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the third prince of Northern Xinjiang asks to see you." ”
Just talking about this, the protagonist came, An Mingxun and Xiao Yechen glanced at each other, and said in surprise: "What is he doing?" You don't know what we're trying to do, do you? ”
Xiao Yechen was also a little puzzled, but he still said, "Xuan." ”
"When he comes, he'll know."
Hu Yancheng walked into the imperial study at this time, and seeing that there were two people inside, he couldn't figure out for a while whether he should directly explain his intentions, he pondered for a moment in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister came here to thank you, thank you for the emperor's reward a few days ago." ”
The reward was a few days ago, if you want to thank you, it is not now, Xiao Yechen knows that Hu Yancheng must have something to say to him.
After seeing the trace of concern in Hu Yancheng's eyes, he immediately said: "Guard Leng and General An are both my cronies, and the third prince can just say anything directly." ”
After hearing the words, Hu Yancheng
simply knelt down and said, "Please also ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”
"Third Prince, what did you do?"
Xiao Yechen saw Hu Yancheng's actions like this, and he had a guess in his heart.
Hu Yancheng looked at the smooth ground, paused, and said: "The minister's sister is simple and ignorant, and she actually brought the remnants of the Cheng family into the house, and the minister didn't know it in advance, and it wasn't until today when the maid next to her came to tell the story that the minister found out, so she came to explain to the emperor." ”
"Oh?"
Xiao Yechen was a little surprised, although he had already guessed, he didn't expect Hu Yancheng to be so sincere, and he actually said this directly, and he didn't excuse himself.
In this way, his senses for Hu Yancheng were better.
Hu Yancheng didn't know what Xiao Yechen was thinking, at this time he just knelt on the ground, silent.
