Chapter 32 Concealment
Stepping into the study, a small servant knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and said to An: "The humble Peng Hua greets His Royal Highness King An, a thousand years old Yong'an!" ”
"Excuse me!" Chen Jing then walked to the head of the hall and sat down with a few leanings.
Peng Hua took out a letter, presented it with both hands, and replied: "Lord Wang, the matter is urgent, and Lord Jia will personally present this letter to you." ”
After receiving the letter, Chen Jingsui didn't rush to open it, but asked casually while checking the fire paint: "Peng Hua, you have always been good in Liang Kingdom?" ”
"Thanks to the prince's blessing, everything is fine with the lowly rank."
Chen Jingsui carefully picked off the fire paint with a bamboo skewer, and saw that the powder stained with the envelope was intact, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, he took out the paper and waved his hand to signal it to retreat.
Looking at what was written on the paper, Chen Jingsui's expression became more and more solemn, and he walked away, he opened the incense burner, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the paper fell in, looking at the words on it being swallowed up by the flames little by little, and his heart panicked, what if Yan'er knew about this? Chen Jingsui didn't dare to think about it, let alone gamble, he was afraid that he would lose.
Chen Jian saw that Chen Jingsui's face turned pale, he sat down on the threshold, and asked hesitantly, "Lord Wang, you, are you okay?" ”
"From today onwards, send people to monitor Yiqing Yuan day and night, you must know who the princess has seen and who she has spoken to." Chen Jingsui raised his eyes to look at Chen Jian, clenched his hands into fists, and said in a low voice: "If anyone mentions that person to the princess, you will report it immediately." He stood up slowly, thinking of Mu Siyan's intelligence, he gasped, and instructed: "Chen Jian, this matter is going on secretly, don't let the princess know!" ”
"No, I understand."
Under the corridor, the master and servant were silent, and after a while, Chen Jingsui asked in a muffled voice: "Have the people of Beihuai Wangfu asked about that matter?" ”
"I asked, before the princess's accident, the maids were not there, so I don't know what happened." Chen Jian looked at the master's back and hesitated: "However, they recognize that the person who shouted in the panic is the maidservant of the princess: Lingbi. ”
"She?" Chen Jingsui touched the jade ring, the incident happened suddenly, he didn't believe that when Mu Siyan rolled down the stairs, there would be no one else nearby, and asked casually: "Chen Jian, has there been something special in the Beihuai Palace?" ”
"Lord Wang, there really is one." Chen Jian arched his hand and said: "On the third day after the princess's accident, Hong'er, the maidservant who cleaned the courtyard, accidentally fell into the water and died when she left the house. The lowly job secretly investigated and learned that before the accident, Hong'er had told her good sister that she would get a sum of money soon. ”
Chen Jingsui felt that there must be something hidden in it, and raised his hand to signal Chen Jian to continue.
"I felt that something was wrong, so I specially sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to run away, but I was told that Hong'er's body had already been taken away by the people of Beihuai Palace."
Chen Jingsui asked coldly: "Chen Jian, have you pounced on the Beihuai Palace?" ”
"The prince is wise, it is true, he inquired about the second housekeeper of the Beihuai Palace, and he said that if the maid died in the house, the steward was afraid of blackmail from his family, so he would generally deal with it in a low-key manner and bury it hastily. What's more, Hong'er died outside, and it was impossible for the people in the palace to meddle in their affairs and bring Hong'er's body back. ”
Stepping down the stairs, Chen Jingsui thought about it in his heart, and muttered the words 'Mu Sixian' from time to time, his mind flashed the events of that day in the palace, and boldly assumed: Could it be that she pushed Yan'er down the stairs? But why did she do that, and how could a pregnant woman who was pregnant with Rokka?
This series of causes and consequences, Chen Jingsui never found a reason, and asked himself: Is Hong'er's death really just a coincidence, is this king thinking too much, perhaps, it really has nothing to do with Mu Sixian? Who could be the figure that Yan'er saw? Chen Jingsui suddenly had a flash of inspiration and called: "Chen Jian! ”
Chen Jing then attached himself to his ear, and deliberately lowered his voice and said for a while before seeing Chen Jian leave willingly.
