Chapter 269: Re-investigation of Wei Yingran
Peng Mo knew that it was already evening when the Chengenhou Mansion was protected by the Ouchi guards, she held the new invitation from the queen in her hand, listened to Liuying's report, and said with a light smile: "Jin Xiuchen's killing two birds with one stone is really wonderful!"
Liuying glanced at the post, frowned, and said, "The queen's post is to invite the master into the palace?
"Who dares to refuse the queen's will?" Peng Mo hooked his lips and put the post in the box.
"But the master has already made an appointment to see Gu Lingyu tomorrow?"
"It's okay. Peng Mo smiled faintly, got up and cleaned his hands, and went to copy the scriptures.
She will definitely not be able to leave the palace at that time, but even if she is ten hours late, Gu Lingyu will definitely wait for her!
Nanshan, under the afterglow, Gu Lingyu looked at the three newly erected stone tablets, and his eyes were lonely and empty.
The emperor did not say that he was not allowed to collect the corpses, so he simply collected the corpses of King Qu, Gu Xian and Gu Qian, and buried them on this South Mountain.
Patting the soil on his hands, he put the offerings on the side and lit incense and candles for the three of them.
"I hope you will have a good journey and don't do anything wrong in the next life. With that, he poured the wine in his hand in front of the grave.
After doing all this, Gu Lingyu turned around and left, and before going down the mountain, he came to Wu's grave and swept the grave for her.
"Someone gave me your bracelet today, and asked me to meet tomorrow. ”
Gu Lingyu said with a pleasant face, took out the bracelet in his hand, and held it in front of the stone tablet, as if to show it to the people in the tomb.
"But who do you know? In the wind, I vaguely heard a person talking to himself for a long time.
At dinner time, there was a little girl in Peng Hao's courtyard who said: The third young master asked the fourth young lady to look at some good objects.
Peng Mo is a little funny, the third brother always treats her as a child, and he always loves to keep her when he gets any good things.
"Master, put on your cloak, it's cold at night. Liuying chased after him and draped the silver-red flower-sprinkling cloak in his hand over Peng Mo's body.
Peng Mo looked down at the cloak and asked, "This cloak is new?"
Liu Ying replied with a smile: "It was just sent in the afternoon, and it was the materials and patterns that Madame's grandmother personally picked for the master." ”
Seeing Peng Mo nodding, Liu Ying smiled and asked, "Does the master still like it?"
Peng Mo nodded and said, "I like it." After being reborn, her love of pure colors has not changed, and most of her clothes in the four seasons are plain, and such a delicate style is really rare in her emigration.
Come to think of it, my mother and sister-in-law also thought that her clothes were too plain, so they made such a cloak.
While laughing, the master and servant came to Peng Hao's Ruize Garden, guarding Zhang Ji outside the door, and when they saw Peng Mo, they hurriedly bowed and said, "The third young master is in the courtyard, and the fourth young lady is invited." ”
"Here you are. Peng Mo glanced at Liuying, although she didn't know what the third brother was looking for her, but Zhang Ji was guarding outside, so she naturally didn't want to take the maid in.
The head of the flowing firefly agreed.
Peng Mo went in alone, there were a lot of strong bamboos planted in the courtyard of the third brother, taking advantage of the white moonlight, the autumn wind blew slightly, the bamboo leaves rustled, strolling in it, quite a beautiful scenery.
In the shadow of the tree, she saw a person standing at the end of the path, thinking it was Peng Hao, so she smiled and asked, "Third brother, what gift do you have for me, is it so mysterious?"
"I don't know, am I a gift?" Jin Xiuchen stood among the green bamboos, looking at the woman in a silver-red cloak approaching step by step, smiling gently and heartwarmly.
Peng Mo was a little surprised when he saw Jin Xiuchen, and for a moment, the surprise in his heart turned into joy, and he asked with a smile: "Why are you there?"
"I got two pots of good wine, and I invited His Royal Highness King Chen to come and taste them. Peng Hao walked out with a jar of wine and sat down on the tables and chairs in the courtyard.
Jin Xiuchen walked over and grabbed her hand, and laughed in a low voice: "When I first saw you, you were also dressed in red. ”
The first time I saw him after being reborn was in front of the Jin Palace.
Thinking of this, he looked at him and smiled: "I don't know, did His Highness fall in love with the little girl that day?"
A joke, she didn't expect him to really answer: "Yes, the first time I saw you, I couldn't extricate myself from you!"
At that time, he watched her cry, and the helplessness and pain in his heart made him understand that in this life, he had fallen for this woman!
Since then, everything he has done, every step of the way, is to get closer to her and embrace her more.
Simply, the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, he got a response, how lucky!
Peng Mo looked at him in a daze, did he fall in love with himself that day? Then his alliance and help were only because he liked her, or he felt sorry for her.
Yes, these days, he has done so much for her, without asking for anything in return, which makes her moved, guilty, and heartbroken.
Jin Xiuchen looked at her with a stunned expression, unconsciously raised his hand and rubbed the top of her hair, and said with a low smile: "Let's go, little fool!"
"The newly opened pear blossom is drunk, taste it. Peng Hao poured a glass of wine and pushed it to Jin Xiuchen's hand.
Jin Xiuchen took a sip, stretched his eyebrows, and praised: "Sweet and mellow, not bad." ”
Peng Mo took a sip of tea, the sweet flower tea in the past made her feel a little tasteless, her eyes unconsciously looked at the wine glasses of the two of them, she rarely drank alcohol, and the amount of alcohol was very shallow, but today's moonlight was really intoxicating, which made her want to drink.
Jin Xiuchen drank the pear blossom drunk in the wine glass in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and asked with a smile: "I heard that the emperor has already talked to you? I don't know when you will take up the post of Yin of Jingzhao Mansion?"
"It's after the autumn hunt. Peng Hao replied to Jin Xiuchen, brought the snack to Peng Mo's hand, and said, "I've already asked someone to prepare the meal, you can wait a while." ”
"I'm not hungry, it's just... Peng Mo looked at the two of them without saying anything.
Jin Xiuchen looked at her watery eyes, his heart was softened, and he smiled: "Just what?" As long as she can say it, he can do it!
"Can I get drunk with pear blossoms?" Peng Mo cautiously pointed to the jug containing the wine.
Peng Hao was stunned when he heard this, and smiled randomly: "My sister wants to drink?"
Jin Xiuchen didn't expect Peng Mo to say this matter, and he didn't feel funny.
Peng Mo watched the two of them eat and laugh, pouted and said, "What's so funny!"
"It's not easy for you to drink?" Jin Xiuchen saw that she was wronged, and hurriedly took out a wine glass, poured half a glass of wine and brought it to her.
Peng Mo squinted and smiled, stretched out his hand to catch it, and under the gaze of the two of them, Sakura lips approached the wine glass, and took a shallow sip, which was not as spicy as expected, and the taste was slightly astringent and sweet: "It's not hard to drink." ”
Jin Xiuchen looked at her greedy cat, and laughed lightly: "If you like it, I'll send a few altars over." ”
Without waiting for Peng Mo to answer, Peng Hao said: "Stop, my sister has a shallow amount of alcohol, and she can't stand your drunkenness with several large jars of pear blossoms, if you really want to send it, send it to me, and if my sister wants to drink it at that time, she will take it herself." ”
Peng Mo looked at the fighting method of the two, pursed his lips and smiled: "Just do what my brother says." ”
Peng Hao was happy when he heard it, and said that he had a good sister who was inward.
Jin Xiuchen watched Peng Mo speak, how could it be unreasonable, and the next day he sent a large cart of pear blossoms drunk, but this is all for later.
After drinking for a while, Jin Xiuchen talked about the thousand faces reporting to the maids around Siyan during the day.
Peng Mo frowned: "You said that the maid next to Siyan killed Liandie?" The tranquil voice carried an imperceptible anger.
She remembered that the maid was the one who fell in love with Jin Xiuchen.
So didn't she kill the butterfly to get rid of her rival? This thing should have been done by her, so what is the maid? and why?
Thinking of this, I felt unhappy, and I took the wine and drank it all.
Peng Hao narrowed his eyes, pulled his lips and said, "Lord Siyan is really not a good person, even the maids around him are so ruthless!"
"Can you send someone to investigate?" Vinegar to vinegar, Peng Mo was still worried, and somehow, she was a little flustered in her heart.
Jin Xiuchen didn't notice the subtle changes in Peng Mo, and shook his head when he heard this: "You must check it, but you can't just check this maid." ”
Peng Hao was puzzled by this: "What do you mean by this? Is there anyone else who needs to check?"
Jin Xiuchen looked at Peng Mo and asked in a deep voice, "Do you remember that I sent someone to check the relationship between Wei Yingran and Siyan?"
Peng Mo nodded: "Remember, you not only checked Siyan, but also specially checked the king of Wucheng Guoding." ”
Peng Hao listened to the words in the words of the two, raised his eyebrows and said, "King Ding, isn't it the father of the county lord of Siyan?"
Peng Mo smiled faintly and said, "Yes, he is also the king of Ding who lost to his father." But not long after that encounter, my father died.
Jin Xiuchen's sword frowned slightly, and analyzed: "Siyan is just a county lord and has no real power, I guess there is someone else behind her, at first I thought it was her father who was the king, but after investigation, it was not this person." ”
When Peng Mo heard this, a clue flew through his mind, but he couldn't catch it quickly, so he hurriedly asked, "What did you think of?"
Jin Xiuchen didn't answer, but said, "All the secret guards around the Chengenhou Mansion have been killed. ”
Peng Mo was surprised and whispered, "What?
Jin Xiuchen grabbed her hand, squeezed it gently, and said, "It's the night you asked Qi Mu to remind her!"
It turned out to be like this, the clue that she couldn't grasp in her mind, she knew what it was: "So, you let the head of the peaceful person hang outside the Chengenhou Mansion?"
Jin Xiuchen smiled lightly: "Yes." ”
Peng Mo squinted, and there was a cold light in his eyes: "Siyan, this is protecting Wei Yingran." ”
Jin Xiuchen nodded: "That's right, at first I guessed that Wei Yingran and Siyan might have an unknown interest relationship, but after this incident, I suddenly realized that the previous investigation direction was wrong, and Siyan was protecting Wei Yingran." ”
Peng Mo answered: "The people who can protect Siyan, I'm afraid there are few people in Wucheng Kingdom." ”
Jin Xiuchen sneered: "In this way, the range is shortened and the range is fixed. "This fierce enemy who doesn't know the details is finally about to show his true body!
Peng Mo looked at Jin Xiuchen and said slowly: "Wucheng Imperial City!"
"That's right. ”
Peng Mo asked again, "Who are you going to send?"
Jin Xiuchen said: "Qi Xin and Wang Lu." ”
It was the two most powerful people around him, Peng Mo nodded and said, "Can you rush back before the end of the autumn hunt?"
Jin Xiuchen pursed his lips and smiled, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, then it will be the time for you to get rid of the marriage contract." ”
When Peng Mo heard this, she lowered her head and smiled lightly, it turned out that she was so in tune with him, she only said three points in each sentence to know the remaining seven points.
Peng Hao listened to the conversation between the two, and felt confused, what is this?
