Chapter 54: Premonition
"It's a little lower here, a little higher there...... Eh~ Yes, yes, yes! That's it! Has everything in the house been cleaned? Check it out again! ”
"Hey! There, there! It's all dust, and no one has cleaned it! Tomorrow is going to get married, everyone cheers up, but don't go wrong! ”
"When the time comes, the county lord will be rewarded!"
Approaching the wedding, Xiyunxuan became more and more busy.
It's almost dark this day, Aunt Xu is still checking inside and outside the house, instructing errands, the maids and servants are also too busy to touch the ground, and the only big idler is a certain county lord who is about to get married tomorrow.
At this time, Ami was sitting in the gazebo, reclining on the chaise longue, eating the fruit plate and pastries in front of her, blowing the breeze in the middle of the lake, so comfortable.
She squinted and looked at the festive red decoration in front of her, the wind blowing, and the red silk cloth all over the courtyard gently raised.
If it weren't for the sounds of people in the house talking and footsteps going back and forth, this scene would really look a bit like a scene from a horror movie.
Thinking so, she couldn't help but shrink her neck.
At this moment, Xiaolian ran over, "Sister Ami, it's getting dark now, you go back to the room first, it's windy at night, and tomorrow'er is going to get married, don't catch a cold." ”
Ami waved her hand and said lazily, "It's okay, I'll lie down for a while and go back." ”
"Sister Ami, Ming'er is going to toss all day, you better go back early and rest, you can snooze on weekdays, you have to get up early tomorrow morning, don't delay."
Xiaolian said, and reached out and began to clean up the fruit plate and pastries on the table.
Seeing this, Ami also knew that even if she was here, she would not be able to live in peace, so she had to pat the chair, sit up, and walk out of the gazebo.
"If you want to talk about this house, you dare to care about me like this, you have to get it, I'll just go back!"
Xiaolian listened to Ami's helpless tone, and couldn't help but glance back, full of smiles.
Ami walked to the boudoir, pushed open the door, and prepared to go over to light the lamp, but found that in the dark, a person sat silently on a chair in an inconspicuous corner.
She was startled, her expression changed a few times under the cover of darkness, and finally she forced herself to compose, and muttered as she retreated out the door, pretending not to care.
"Huh~ Fang Cai obviously remembered to check how well he was preparing for tomorrow, why did he forget ......"
Just as she was about to step out the door, a shallow voice came from behind her.
"It's me."
Hearing this, Ami breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was too familiar with this voice.
This kind of tone that is going to die or live, who else is there besides King Rui?
She closed the door, came in and lit the lamp, looked at Changli who was sitting in the corner, and asked jokingly, "Tomorrow is the big wedding, the prince came over tonight, can't help but want to see me?" ”
Changli glanced at her faintly, took out an envelope from his arms and put it on the table, "This letter, you must keep it with you for a moment tomorrow." ”
Ami walked over with some confusion, took the envelope, looked back and forth, and didn't find anything special, "What is this?" ”
Changli looked at her and asked, "Do you remember the day Lord Hanlin was imprisoned?" ”
Ami nodded.
"I went that day to get this letter, and the prince is looking for this letter, tomorrow's big wedding, there are many people, he will definitely take this opportunity to search around the palace, put it on you, it is the safest."
Ami put the envelope on the table casually and sat next to Changli, a little dissatisfied, "Then you have to tell me what this is!" ”
Changli was silent, "This is a letter between the prince and Xiqiguo. ”
Ami was startled and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this the ...... Collaboration? Why don't you just present it to your father, why do you want to put it on me? ”
"But this letter is not enough to prove the prince's crime of collaborating with the enemy, and more evidence is needed."
Ami nodded meaninglessly, and was about to say something more, but Changli suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
He lowered his voice, "Someone is coming, put things away, I'll go first." ”
As he spoke, he dodged and climbed out of the window.
Ami was a little dumbfounded as she watched his fluid movements.
I didn't expect the dignified prince to do such a thing as opening the window?
At this time, the footsteps had reached the door, and Ami quickly picked up the envelope on the table and stuffed it into her sleeve.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Xiaolian walked in with water.
"Sister Ami, you wash your face first, Aunt Xu has already instructed the people below to prepare water for bathing, and it will be there later."
Ami nodded, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, "You should rest early today, you will have to be busy tomorrow." ”
Xiaolian smiled and walked out the door, "I'm not in the way, you prepare first, I'll go see how the hot water is." ”
Ami watched her walk out and took out the letter from her sleeve, her brows furrowed, and her heart was a little apprehensive.
For some reason, she always thought something was going to happen tomorrow.
Late at night, the prince's study.
The candlelight in the study was dim, and the prince's face was hidden in the dark, and he couldn't see clearly.
"Tomorrow's fifth brother's wedding, there will be a lot of people, it is the best time to find the letter, what does Lord Xu think?"
At the next place, there was a middle-aged man in a green shirt, who was Lord Shangshu Xu of the Ministry of Industry.
He pondered for a moment, his attitude respectful, "I think that Lord Rui must have expected that we would take advantage of the chaos to find the letters, and should not leave the letters in any unsafe place, but are more likely to carry them with them." ”
The crown prince nodded, "This hall also thinks that if this thing is really on him, things will be much trickier. ”
Lord Xu lowered his eyes and thought about it, then raised his head and said, "It's better to ...... We'll get him drunk tomorrow night, and then we'll take the opportunity to ......."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a chuckle from the prince, as if laughing at himself, "If he is so easy to deal with, why does this palace spend so much effort?" My fifth brother, don't look at him on the surface as if he doesn't fight or grab, he has a deep mind. ”
Master Xu smiled on his face, lowered his head, and stopped talking.
At this time, a clear voice came from the other side.
"He's not easy to deal with, that...... What about the county lord? ”
When the prince heard this, he paused, leaned forward slightly, and the candlelight reflected in the past, and finally saw the look on his face.
He stared at the speaker inquiringly and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"The guests toast, he can still shirk the perfunctory, or even pretend to be drunk, but if on the night of the wedding, even the bride has an accident, then it is the real chaos, when the time comes, while he is not prepared, we will start again, isn't it much easier?"
The prince thought for a moment, and an inexplicable smile gradually appeared on his face.
"That's good! That's it......"
