Chapter 474: Begin to fight back
The people from the Regent's Mansion soon received the news from Yu Panxi, and after discussing it with Xiao Chumo, they decided to come to Situ Ye to connect with Yu Panxi from Xing Tian's side.
Although Ah Ye and Liu Suifeng also strongly expressed that they wanted to come with him, but considering that it was easy to expose their whereabouts due to the large number of people, and the fact that Xingtian had been in Situ Mansion for a few days, he had already roughly figured out the terrain in the mansion, if he went alone this time, it would be much easier to retreat if he was discovered at that time.
The paper crane soon flew back to Situ Mansion and quietly fell into Yu Panxi's room, without being noticed by anyone. Under the wings of the paper crane, the agreed meeting time of the two parties is written.
Yu Panxi read the above content a few times, and after confirming that he had written down the time, he directly put the paper crane into the candle and let the flames devour it. As for herself, she quickly took action and went to Situ Ye's study again before the appointed time. It's just that when she came out this time, she hid all the correspondence evidence in Situ Ye's coercion of the minister and his attempt to rebel.
And the day after she got the letter, it was the time she agreed to meet Xingtian.
As night fell, Yu Panxi closed the door early, pretending that he had rested. Although the guards of Situ Mansion were ordered to monitor her, they remembered that she was a woman, and those guards would at most wander around the courtyard on weekdays, and they would never come to her door. At this time, seeing that she had already rested, the room was naturally empty.
"Knock knock—"
A slight noise came from outside the window, as if someone was hiding outside and knocking on the window.
Yu Panxi listened carefully, and the three neat rings were the code that she had made an appointment with Xingtian. She got out of bed at once, and quietly opened the locked window.
"You asked the crane to send a message back and let us come over, but what's the matter?"
Xing Tian had just climbed in through the window, and before he could stand firmly, he first asked about the paper crane. The matter of infiltrating Situ Mansion was originally a mess by him, which caused Yu Panxi to come over to save people and still be trapped here, he naturally had to pay more attention at the moment to see if he could make up for it.
He asked so eagerly, Yu Panxi was not ambiguous, turned around and turned out all the letters hidden under his pillow, and then saw Xingtian's hand: "These things are very important, if you bring them back, you must hand them over to Chu Mo's hands." ”
Although she knew that Xingtian was never ambiguous in business, she couldn't help but say another word of advice. After all, these are all things related to the whole situation, and Situ Ye didn't pay much attention to it because he was busy persuading other forces recently. If he finds that all this evidence is gone, he is afraid that he will have to dig three feet into the ground until he finds these things.
In order to prevent any accidents that might arise, she had to be careful.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, seeing her solemn look, Xing Tian could probably guess what these things in his hand were. So after answering her words, he hurried away through the window again.
It's just that before leaving, he left a sentence: "The master is very worried about you, since the purpose of your stay has been achieved, please don't take any more risks." ”
Yu Panxi was stunned, looked at the direction Xingtian left, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth. I don't know if she is glad that Xingtian, who has always been arrogant, has finally learned to use honorifics, or because she feels warm in her heart when she learns that someone has been worrying about her.
However, just like Xingtian's words, after the goal was achieved, Yu Panxi did not sneak to the study anymore, but stayed in the small courtyard where Situ Ye let her live. Playing the piano every day, looking at the flowers and plants, or looking for two scripts by the little maid in the house, even if there are guards watching her everywhere she goes, Yu Panxi does not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
Others didn't know that she could stay here with peace of mind because she had achieved her goal, and they thought that she was very indifferent and not disturbed by these miscellaneous things. For a while, everyone couldn't help but look up to the regent princess.
In contrast, Situ Ye's temper has really become more and more irritable recently. No, it should be said that his temper has always been so short-tempered, and the recent period has only been more unbearable.
There was a sound of ping-pong in the study, as if someone was smashing inside, and the guards outside the door, although they were a little cautious and frightened, but more of a look as if they were used to.
"It's just a milky little kid who dares to do it against me so boldly! Who in the DPRK doesn't know that Master Zhang and Master Li have always been on my side, and he dismissed these two ministers with a light sentence, isn't it equivalent to trampling my face on the soles of my feet?! ”
Situ Ye's words were full of anger, and he didn't know if he was complaining to Xiao Yang who was standing aside, or if he was just talking to himself. As soon as he remembered what had happened when he had just gone to court, he felt that he was about to be.
In the past few days, as many as a dozen ministers of the DPRK and China have been dismissed from their posts or imprisoned. Coincidentally, these people are all the first batch of ministers who proposed to let him return to the court in addition to the prime minister, and the evidence of the crime in prison is exactly the same as the things he used to threaten them in the first place!
Xiao Yang didn't want to speak, but it could be seen that his master had already thrown the conversation to himself, so he still had to speak: "After all, he is still just a child, maybe he saw that the Regent's Mansion suddenly had a little hope, thinking that he had a backer, and he began to do things out of proportion." Don't worry, master, even the regent princess has been placed under house arrest now, and he won't be angry for long. ”
He said this very measuredly, knowing that no matter how he answered his master's words, it seemed to be wrong, so he directly diverted the topic. is so good at observing words and feelings, which is probably the reason why he was able to surpass many guards and become one of Situ Ye's henchmen.
The latter was angry at this time, where did he still have the heart to pay attention to whether he had changed the subject? It's just that after hearing his words, he was so angry that he couldn't help but let out a sneer.
"Humph! You are right, the evidence that the little emperor used to investigate those ministers is exactly the same as the evidence I used to coerce them. Now many people in the court have begun to speculate whether I want to cross the river and tear down the bridge and deliberately hand over those things to the little emperor! ”
In the final analysis, if the little emperor really only investigated some ministers, to Situ Ye was just a few obedient lackeys, it could be said that it was painless. And the current situation is what annoys him the most.
