The weather after Qingming is getting warmer and warmer day by day. After five or six days, Yingxian's illness was all cured. On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, Yingxian was walking in the back mountain, and saw an old tree with mottled scars, and suddenly remembered Yingxue's instructions to him: "...... And thou hast hid thy letter in the cave. Don't let anyone see it. Then I went to see it every seven or eight days. If you find anything in the cave within a month, you want to come to the palace and give it to me. "When I patted my head, I forgot all about this stubble!

At that moment, he went back to the house to change into civilian clothes, called a carriage to leave the house, and went straight to Qixiu Mountain. When I arrived at Lingyun Temple, I really touched a hard thing in the hole of the locust tree. When I took it out, it turned out to be a boxy wooden box slightly larger than the palm of my hand. Ying Xian opened the box on the spot, and was immediately shocked: a blue and white severed palm was lying in the box, and from the blood stains coagulated at the root of the palm, it looked like someone had cut it down alive. The severed palm is quite large, it should be a man's right palm, and there is a purple-red half-moon-shaped birthmark on the back of the hand, which is enchanting and hideous to watch. There was a note pressed under the severed palm.

Ying Xian unfolded the red-stained note, and saw that there were only eight words on the letter, which were written in a very rough and scribbled manner: "The goods have been delivered, and it will last for ten days." Thinking of the content of Yingxue's secret letter, my heart moved: Could it be ...... Sister is looking for a killer to kill again? Is this palm proof of success? A wisp of mountain wind passed by, and I couldn't help but hit a spirit.

The next day, Yingxian took advantage of Situ Su's outing, and hurriedly packed up his things and left the house. Arrived at Guangyun Gate around six o'clock, showed the gold medal to the guards, and calmly entered the palace. The scenery inside the palace is not the same as that outside the palace, and it has a splendid and magnificent atmosphere. The glazed tiles on the top of the heavy eaves are like golden waves surging, the red palace wall stretches endlessly, and the flowers and trees are flourishing everywhere. The green leaves are like piling up buildings and building towers, and all kinds of flowers are embedded in the green branches, the brilliance is shaking, the fragrance is lingering, and the wild bees and butterflies are busy. All the way to the spring light and the flowers and willows, I arrived at the eldest princess's Jingyang Zhai. reported to the eunuch Xiao Lizi. After a while, Yingxue wore a ruyi moire fine brocade shirt and a hundred butterfly gold-edged fairy skirts, with a graceful posture and a beautiful complexion, and a smile was piled up in the corners of her eyes: "Is there news?" Come on in. ”

Yingxue's bedroom is still elegant. The maid Wanyun came in and served tea, Yingxian took a few sips of tea, and after a little respite, she handed over the wooden box. Yingxue immediately opened it, looked at the broken palm for a while, and muttered, "Yes, it's him." It's really fast. Ying Xian caught a glimpse of the joy swimming in her eyebrows, and asked carefully, "Who is he?" ”

Ying Xue sneered: "It's just a wicked person." ”

“…… Sister, if I'm not mistaken, did you find a killer to kill again? ”

Yingxue also knew that there was no need to hide it, and sighed: "I also had to do it as a last resort." ”

"Why did you have to do it?"

"The owner of this severed palm is not small. He acted recklessly in Xijian City all day long, bullying and oppressing good people, which harmed many people. ”

"Oh...... Of course, it is not a pity for such people to die. But...... Do you have to take action to cure him, sister? Could it be that there is no royal law in Yu Kingdom? ”

"If Wang Fa can cure this kind of person, why should I care so much?"

"What? Who is this person? Is it a big official? ”

"Haha, he's not a big official. But the big official is his own father. ”

“……”

There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Yingxue's mouth, and she said leisurely: "This father said something that shouldn't be said in the court some time ago, as if he wanted to show his heart to someone, hehe, it's really stupid." ”

Yingxian is still very confused. I didn't rush to ask, I first went through the matter in my mind, and after understanding a little, I asked tentatively: "Is it to Gonggong Yuan or ...... Concubine Chen's mother showed her heart? ”

A cold light flashed in Yingxue's eyes, and she regained her composure and said, "Sister, there are some things that you and I know, and you must not publicize them everywhere." ”

Aren't you still looking for someone to kill? Isn't that flamboyant enough? Yingxian muttered to herself. Ying Xue seemed to guess Ying Xian's thoughts, and said, "Actually, I didn't look for that person to kill him." It's just a little memorial for him to leave on him. ”

Ying Xian stared at the mark on the broken palm, and suddenly said, "I understand." You have a target and the killer chops off the most visible part of his body for you, right? ”

Ying Xue looked at Ying Xian with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to hide something, but with a little appreciation. No nodding, no shaking of the head. Yingxian couldn't help but ask again: "But I still don't understand, what is the point of doing these things?" ”

Hearing this, Yingxue's face showed a trace of disdain, and said: "First, to eliminate harm for the people, second, it is a warning, and third, to ...... It is also to weaken the power of the other side. ”

"Which other? Father-in-law Han? Concubine Yuan? Still is...... Second princess? Ying Xianwu asked herself, and a faint uneasiness rose in her heart.

Ying Xue didn't answer, she was frozen for a moment, her eyes suddenly shot at Ying Xian's left wrist, and she smiled: "Do you still like this bracelet?" ”

Ying Xian was stunned for a moment, looked down at the jade on his wrist, and muttered, "This ...... Thank you, sister. The second princess has already told me that you asked her to pass on the gift to me. I love it. ”

"Hehe, I can't afford such a valuable gift. It's the princess who rewarded you. ”

"The princess rewarded me? I can't afford it. As he spoke, he took off his bracelet.

Ying Xue hurriedly blocked it and said, "Don't do it here or there." It's all your own people, why are you talking about these politeness? If you retreat, I won't be able to speak in front of the princess. ”

Yingxian said helplessly: "That...... All right. I'll take it. However, I have to thank Princess Celestia in person. By the way, isn't she in Jingyangzhai? ”

Yingxue sighed again: "Alas, the emperor has been sick recently. The princess had just gone to visit him. I don't know when I'll be able to return. If you're okay, stay with me a little longer. ”

After saying that, he called the evening clouds and served a few colors of fresh fruits and candied fruits, which were citron, flower papaya, fragrant grapes, carved plum balls and perilla incense. Ying Xian waved his hand again and again, and said, "I can't eat so much, don't waste it." Ying Xue said with a smile: "These are all purchased from the palace, and many of them are freshly shipped from abroad." If you don't eat it, you will spoil it. You can eat with confidence. ”

Yingxian picked up a fragrant grape with a toothpick and tasted it, the taste was salty and sweet with a hint of fruit acidity, and the taste was very rich. Nai asked, "Sister, I'm just worried, what if you hire someone to commit murder, what if the matter is revealed?"

"Don't worry. We're in the dark. The killer had only taken the letter from the hollow in the tree, and when he was done, he had received the rest of his pay, and he had no idea who had hired him. Even if something big happens, hehe, how can you and me be suspicious? As long as you are careful. Having said that, I have to thank the killer who killed Lu Changqing last time for the reminder, and now the paper I use is very ordinary. ”

Yingxian also suddenly remembered that "Wu Ming", and thought: I don't know where this person went. I'm afraid it really left without a name.

Ying Xue suddenly pulled up Ying Xian's hands and said softly: "Last time you said you had amnesia, how are you recovering now?" Do you remember anything? “

Yingxian shook her head: "No." The second princess was afraid that I would hurt my body by drinking that 'Soul Pill' every day, so she told me to stop the medicine. However, although I still can't remember anything, after so many days, I have almost learned what I should have learned. So far, it's not a big deal. Sister, you don't have to worry too much. ”

Ying Xue gently stroked Ying Xian's hair with her white jade palm, and her eyes showed a sense of pity: "You and I sisters have been sisters for many years, since you left the palace with the second princess, we have gathered less and left more." I didn't take good care of you, and now that you've got this strange disease, I'm helpless. I should have found an imperial doctor to take a good look at you, but now...... It was really eventful. The emperor has been sick for many days, and the eldest princess has been busy, and I can't find a good time to speak. ”

Yingxian said: "What kind of disease is the emperor born of?" Is it serious? ”

"I don't know. But the court still shines on it. It shouldn't be too serious. If you are really so sick that you can't even go to the court, then you can't mess around inside and outside the palace? ”

Yingxian suddenly remembered the conversation with the second princess, and said deliberately: "Yes." I heard that the emperor has worked hard for many years to allow Yu Guo to stand on his own feet in troubled times. If he makes any mistakes, won't other countries strike while the iron is hot? ”

Ying Xue was silent, poured a cup of tea from the table, and said while drinking: "Alas, this can only be said to you in private." In fact, although the emperor has governed the country very effectively, if there is really any change in other countries, he will ...... There are still some responsibilities. “

"Oh? What about that? ”

In Princess Yuanxi's opinion, the emperor's policy is indeed too conservative. For many years, he has made compromises to strengthen the country, but the results have not been satisfactory, and there are constantly provocations at the border. If the emperor can strengthen his troops, punish the law strictly, and establish his prestige at home and abroad, he will not always be pressed by others. The ministers who are fighting in the country will not keep talking about the east and the west. Now even Rong Guo often asks Yu Guo for this and that request. ”

This Princess Yuanxi is really ambitious. Yingxian thought to himself. And said: "Has the eldest princess ever told the emperor about such an idea?" ”

"Why not? But the emperor was unwilling to adopt it. However, once, the princess had no choice but to 'go beyond the bounds', hehe, but it solved the hidden danger of Yu Guo. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

"In the past, there was a small country in the southeast of Yuguo called the northern country, which was said to be a country, but in fact it was only two or three small cities. Moreover, the people are barbaric and never speak of faith. However, although its territory is small, it has always been backed by Xiguo. To put it bluntly, Xiguo paid money and troops to support it. The northern country of the country always harassed the border of Yu State, and a part of the property they stole was paid tribute to Xi State. The emperor was afraid of offending Xiguo, so he endured it all the time. ”

Yingxian said "oops": "The emperor seems to be a little softer in doing this." ”

"Isn't it? The eldest princess couldn't bear it anymore, so she persuaded the emperor to be ineffective, so she asked someone to send a secret letter to the monarch of Xi Guo, made up a set of rhetoric to divide the relationship between the northern country and the Xi country, and promised that as long as the Xi country no longer supported the northern part of the country, the Yu country would send troops to destroy it. The acquired territory will be divided equally with Xiguo, and he will never break his word. The monarch of Xi Guo was really moved when he saw it. Who wouldn't want to get such a big bargain without having to fight the war themselves? He immediately agreed to this matter, and wrote a letter to the emperor to express his position according to the wishes of the envoy. ”

"What about the emperor? Did he blame Princess Celestia? ”

Ying Xue said in a low voice: "The emperor still doesn't know that this matter was planned by the eldest princess, and he thought it was Xiguo's own idea." He immediately made up his mind and sent troops to clean up the north of the country, which ensured peace on the southeast border. ”

Ying Xian was dumbfounded when she heard this, admired Princess Yuanxi from the bottom of her heart, and said: "The courage and courage of the eldest princess are not lost to men, which is admirable." ”

The sunlight pierced the room like a dagger, dazzling people's eyes. Yingxue smiled: "Okay, I'm tired after talking about so many big things." The weather is good today, so why don't you go to the Imperial Garden with me? ”
