"Because I was planning for him in Murong Yu's mansion at that time, I had to rush back to his mansion. Later, when I was done, I went back to the farmer and wanted to give him some taels of silver to buy another cow. Unexpectedly, he said that someone had already given him money, and he had already bought the ploughing cattle! I didn't think that person was you! Then when we met again, why didn't you say it? If he said it at that time, then she would definitely not be with Murong Yu again.

"At that time, you were still a talented person of Emperor Mo Xuan, and I couldn't get too close to you. I said at the birthday banquet that you are only a talented person, which is a pity, which is what I mean by the matter of judging the case. Unexpectedly, you ignored me! ”

"At that time, I just thought you were a frivolous prodigal!" Ye Xuemei sighed in her heart, it was really a trick, if they hadn't missed it at that time, perhaps, she would have followed Gongliang's words.

"Five years on, I'm no longer the flawless person I used to be. Now I am a woman who has experienced two generations of emperors in the Xia Kingdom, and the Queen Mother and the Concubine will not let us be together! ”

"I'm going to convince them to agree to be together!"

"Even if the concubine cherishes her son and finally agrees, but what about the queen mother? What would she think? She will think that you are deliberately fighting for me, and even think that you are fighting for the throne! ”

"If I were really the one who sat on the emperor's throne, I would be able to protect you today and not let you be forced to marry Wan Delin!"

Hearing what he said, the corners of Ye Xuemei's lips turned up slightly, "If you are really the one who sits on the emperor's throne, how can you ensure that I am alone?" In fact, things have not reached the point of no return, after all, the Queen Mother has not yet made an order. I also told the Queen Mother that I would think about it for a few days, and there was still hope for everything! ”

Mi prisoner and prison knife rushed to Jiangning overnight to investigate Wan Delin's affairs. At the same time, Gongliang also asked Gongliang Yanqing to help inquire about Wan Delin's resume in the internal line of the ministry.

After all the information was placed in front of Ye Xuemei's eyes, she looked at them over and over again. But the more I looked at it, the more disappointing it became, Gongliang Yuzhi held one of the pages of information in his hand and said: "The Ministry of Officials is evaluated once every three years, and every time it is evaluated, Wan Delin is superior in terms of official performance and public voice, and he can't find anything to make an article." ”

Ye Xuemei also took a closer look and found that it was indeed as Gongliang Yanqing said, Wan Delin had been an official in Jiangning for eight years, with outstanding political achievements, honesty and integrity, and was deeply loved by the people, and was a first-class good official.

However, Ye Xuemei didn't think so, she said: "In fact, the more perfect it is, the more it means that there is a problem!" When I was there for the Queen Mother before, I saw Wan Delin wearing a jujube red brocade robe, which was made of high-quality cloud brocade, which was only produced in the south of the Yangtze River, and was known for its exquisite materials and fine weaving. The official of the Song State is not high, if it is really as stated in this record, then how can he afford to wear such a precious cloud brocade? ”

"This ...... He was of noble birth, and it was nothing to have one or two expensive clothes. Gongliang Yanqing frowned and replied.

"But what about darts?"

"What dart?" Asking like this, Gongliang Yanqing took the information handed over by Ye Xuemei, which was sent by the prisoner and the prison knife last night.

After reading the words on those notes, Gongliang Yanqing was secretly surprised, "He actually asked the dart bureau to escort ten boxes of goods?" ”

Ye Xuemei nodded, "That's right, it's a coincidence." Originally, they were going to Jiangning to check on Wan Delin, but they didn't expect to meet these dart masters on the way. They stepped forward to set it off, thinking that they were asking about Wan Delin's person, but they didn't expect a dart master to say that the consignor of these goods was Wan Delin. Later, while they were not looking, the prisoner opened the box and looked at it, and found that it was full of gold and silver goods. Presumably the same is true of the other nine boxes. ”

After hearing Ye Xuemei say this, Gongliang Yanqing was secretly surprised, "I really didn't expect Wan Delin, who has two sleeves and a clean breeze, to actually play this kind of trick of dark Chen Cang!" Since this is the case, then go to the Queen Mother to expose him, and when the time comes, he will be investigated and dealt with according to law, and Miss Ye will not need to marry him! ”

Ye Xuemei smiled lightly and shook her head, "No, you can't expose him." If you go like this, he will deny it and say it's not his! ”

"Aren't there those dart masters who testify? Where can he deny it? ”

"Those dart masters are used to escort goods, and they must have been instructed before they were escorted, and perhaps even their wives and children were taken care of. Occasionally, it is not tight to say that it is not tight, but if they really let them expose Wan Delin in front of the government in black and white, I am afraid they will not be able to do it. Besides, did the gold and silver have Wan Delin's name engraved on them, and why did they say that it was his? Even if the name is engraved, he can deny it, not only can we not do anything to him, but the Queen Mother will be suspicious of you at that time. ”

After hearing this, Gongliang Yanqing said with annoyance: "Then what should I do?" Is there really no way to take him? ”

Ye Xuemei smiled quietly and changed the topic, "Dare to ask what is the relationship between the prince and the left servant of the criminal department?" ”

"Yang Nan? What does he do, you ask? ”

"If you want to sit on Wandelin and the dart matter, you have to rely on him."

Just when Ye Xuemei and Gongliang Yanqing were discussing this matter in King Ning's mansion, Gongliang Yuzhi was waiting for the Empress Dowager Wan to come out of the Buddha in Ningshou Palace.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager Wan, who had finished worshipping the Buddha, walked out, and after seeing the words of Gongliang, she said with a smile: "Didn't you say it all?" You don't have to wait when you mourn the Buddha, just go back! ”

Gongliang replied respectfully: "I heard that the queen mother suffered from the wind and cold, and she had some coughs, so the sons and daughters couldn't rest assured and came to visit." Isn't it just a wait, Erchen doesn't mind! The queen mother, the son-in-law asked the people to stew rock sugar pears, which is the most moisturizing and coughing. With that, he asked his subordinates to bring up the stewed rock sugar pears, and personally served the Empress Dowager Wan to drink.

After the Empress Dowager Wan drank it, she said to him: "Although you are not born to the mourning family, you are the most filial. Look at the emperor, I haven't seen you for many days, I'm afraid I have forgotten how to go to Ningshou Palace. ”

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and every day is for the country and the people. Just now, I just got off the court, and I rushed to deal with other things. ”

Empress Dowager Wan looked at him with a smile, and then said, "Yuzhi looks a lot thinner recently, is it because he is too tired?" If so, the mourning family must tell the emperor that this Song Kingdom is not alone, why should they be so tired? Also let the emperor reduce some of the burden on you. ”

Gongliang Yuzhi was slightly shocked in his heart, if Ye Xuemei hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't know that this was Empress Dowager Wan deliberately cutting his power. In addition to the military defense battalion, he is also in charge of the Inspectorate. Yes, he replied without a trace: "It is the duty of the sons to be able to share the worries of the emperor's brother, and the affairs of the military defense battalion and the inspectorate are not enough to worry about the sons and daughters." Xu hasn't slept well lately, so he looks thinner. ”

"That's good, that's good! By the way, the mourning family gave Miss Ye a marriage, can she tell you about this matter? ”

Gongliang replied: "Tell me, Miss Ye said that the queen mother wants to marry her and Wan Shilang!" ”

"What does Miss Ye think?"

"Miss Ye, she doesn't like this!"

"But are you afraid that Delin will become the second Murong Yu? Alas, Miss Ye really thinks too much, how could the mourning family marry him to a bad person so much for her? Delin, you know, that kid has a very good temperament. Miss Ye has been living in your Rongwang Mansion for a long time, and it is not a long-term solution. Being able to be with Delin also saves her from being alone in the future. What do you think? ”

Gongliang replied lightly without a trace: "Erchen also thinks that Miss Ye and Wan Shilang are very compatible!" ”

This answer made Empress Dowager Wan's heart feel relieved, it seems that Gongliang Yuzhi is not too infatuated with Ye Xuemei, so she should not be bewitched by her.

"The mourning family asked Qin Tian to calculate the days, and found that five days later would be a good day, so let's get married in five days!"

Five days later, Ye Xuemei will be forced to get married, and the matter must be resolved within five days.

After saying goodbye to the Empress Dowager Wan, he came to Shuyuzhai, because he was worried about Ye Xuemei's affairs, yes, he was a little absent-minded.

After Concubine Chen poured the water from the jade pot into the teacup, she handed it to Gongliang Yuzhi, "Are you worried about Miss Ye's affairs?" ”

Gongliang was slightly stunned, "The mother also knows?" ”

"When I went to say hello to the Queen Mother a few days ago, I heard about it! What did the Queen Mother say to you? ”

"The Queen Mother said that she will marry Miss Ye in five days!"

"And what do you think about this?"

"This is Miss Ye's business, and it is inconvenient for Erchen to interfere!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was really afraid that she would offend Empress Dowager Wan for Ye Xuemei's matter. She knows the Empress Dowager's character best, and the things she decides will not change!

"However, Erchen will definitely not approve of this!"

His words made Concubine Chen's heart rise to the tip of her throat again, "This matter has been decided by the Queen Mother, what doubts do you have?" ”

"Erchen will never watch Miss Ye marry someone she doesn't like! Wan Delin, he is not a good match for Miss Ye! ”

After hearing this, Concubine Chen hurriedly said: "Stop, the Queen Mother wants to give marriage, that is the Queen Mother's business, you must not stop it." After all, there is a difference between the elder and the young, although the Queen Mother loves you, she can't help it! ”

"But the ministers will not sit idly by in this matter!"

"So, you're still going to intervene?"

"From the moment I rescued Miss Ye from Xia Guo, I almost intervened in this matter!"

Concubine Chen sighed slightly and said, "You always don't agree to what I tell you, just that's it!" ”

"I hope that the mother concubine will forgive her sins!"

Concubine Chen waved her hand at him, "Okay, the mother concubine is also tired, you can go back!" ”
