Chapter 113: What Are They Doing in Yanhua Palace?
One by one, the subordinates of the Nioh Mansion reported back and described in detail the entire process from the collapse of the palace wall to the completion of the collapse. The two guards who witnessed it also entered the house, and told the story of the moment when the wall of the house collapsed.
The more Quan Qingyun listened, the more angry she became, everyone said that the house wall collapsed by itself, so how could the house wall collapse by itself?
The concubine Meixiang who was thrown to the ground was very aggrieved and didn't dare to get up, so she could only sit in place with her legs crossed. Kwon Qingyun walked around the room, and when he walked up to her, he accidentally tripped and kicked Mihyang under the table in anger.
Meixiang was almost kicked by him and vomited blood, and then she heard her prince pointing at her and saying one by one, and she felt that she couldn't hide from it. Falling out of favor is a small thing, losing a life is a big thing, she doesn't want to die, she has to find a way to survive tonight.
So he rolled his eyes, and soon remembered something - "Why has the palace collapsed in Beijing recently?" ”
"What did you say?" Kwon Qingyun stopped and stared at her, "Say it again." ”
Mei Xiang immediately said: "The concubine body is saying, why has the palace collapsed in the capital recently?" Didn't King Su's Mansion collapse twice a while ago? ”
Quan Qingyun also remembered, yes, King Su's Mansion also collapsed twice. But it wasn't the wall of the mansion that collapsed on its own, it was smashed by the witch of the night family, which was different from his Nioh's Mansion tonight.
But is it really different? When he thought about it carefully, he felt that there seemed to be a certain connection.
"Someone!" He walked to the door and shouted, and immediately a man emerged from the darkness. Quan Qingyun asked him: "Is there any news from the other end of the Yipin General's Mansion?" How is the second young master? ”
The man replied: "Back to the master, the Yipin General's Mansion is still the same as a few days ago, and there is no change at all." The second young master was also locked up with the second general and his wife, although he was seriously injured, but the house did not ask the doctor for treatment, only the two slaves guarding the door occasionally gave some medicinal powder. As for eating and drinking, only feed water once every two days to ensure that people do not die. ”
Quan Qingyun clenched his fists in anger, "Feizhou is weak, how can you stand this, don't you have anything to do?" ”
The man shook his head, "My subordinates have tried it, but those two slaves are really strong in martial arts, and their subordinates are powerless." And even if you have the ability to rescue people, master, that's a slave, even if you rescue it, you won't be able to get it down, and it's easy to put the master in. ”
Quan Qingyun took a deep breath, of course he understood this truth. To be right with Ji Nu is to be against the emperor, and when the emperor is right, he will find out that it was his hand that moved, and then it will not be a matter of collapsing a house wall.
"Has Miss Night Fourth returned home?" He gave up inquiring about the night flying boat, and instead inquired about the night Wenyan.
The guard replied, "No." Since the accident on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Miss Yesi has never returned to the General's Mansion. However, his subordinates heard one thing, it is said that someone saw Lord Yin accompany His Royal Highness the Dust King to the direction of the palace that night, but His Royal Highness the Dust King did not enter the palace, but only stayed at the palace gate for a while and came back. ”
Quan Qingyun remembered what his fourth brother said in the court, and invited the fourth lady to drink tea on the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
He went back to the house to change his clothes, and ordered his subordinates to prepare a car to go to the palace of the king of dust.
Mei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief in the house, but fortunately, she finally got the conversation over, and she was considered to have picked up a life.
His Royal Highness Nioh hurried out of the palace in the middle of the night and went straight to the direction of the Chenwang Mansion.
He understood what the dark guard said just now, the dust king went to the palace, but he didn't enter the palace, so what did he go to the palace for? It can't be a giveaway, right? Invite Miss Yesi to drink tea, and after drinking, the person will disappear, could it be that the person who was sent to the palace was Wen Yan that night?
It is said that when Wen Yan returned to Beijing at night, whether it was the movement at the gate of the city, or the movement of entering Lin'an City all the way to the palace, there were many people who saw it. But if anyone goes to investigate, they will be able to find out the clues.
It's just that for some reason, all the people who saw Ye Wenyan that night collectively lost their memory, whether it was the city gate guards, the palace forbidden army, or the people who slept late, they didn't have the slightest impression of seeing Miss Ye Si. So much so that Quan Qingyun's secret guards couldn't find out, and the mother-in-law quietly sent by the old lady couldn't find out. At most, I can find out that His Royal Highness the Dust King went to the palace, and then delayed for a while at the palace gate, and then went home.
Quan Qingyun felt that there was something wrong with this, and the problem was with his fourth brother. So he came, and after ten years, this dust king's mansion once again opened its doors to welcome visitors.
But speaking of which, it is not that the Dust King Mansion is willing to welcome, because the door of the mansion was kicked open by the Third Highness, and there was no mercy at all.
His Royal Highness the Dust King is away all the year round, and only a small number of people are left in this mansion to take care of and clean it, even if the master comes back now, the manpower is not immediately complete, and there is not even a guard at the door.
As soon as Quan Qingren entered the mansion, he said loudly: "Ask your master to come out to see me!" ”
After saying this, as soon as he looked up, he saw a person standing in the middle of the courtyard, dressed in a moon-white robe, standing in the moonlight, looking at him faintly.
"What's the matter with the third brother's late-night visit?" Quan Qinghua opened his mouth to speak, neither lightly nor severely, neither hot nor cold.
Quan Qingyun frowned when she looked at this fourth brother, with a look of disgust, "Hmph! I want to see Miss Night Four. ”
"If you want to see Miss Yesi, you should go to the Yipin General's Mansion, why did you come to this king?"
"You don't have to give me a shelf!" Quan Qingyun was angry, "This king, this king, what do you call this king in front of me?" Didn't you say to invite Miss Night Four to tea? What about her after drinking? ”
Quan Qinghua looked at him for a while and replied, "Where did she go, how can she tell me?" I just had a cup of tea with her, and that's it. ”
"That's it? Hum! In that case, why did you go to the palace in a hurry and leave in a hurry on the night you first returned to Beijing? Fourth, don't think I don't know what's going on in your heart, her father is your teacher, so you helped her fulfill this lie. But a lie is a lie after all, and one day it will be revealed. At that point, how do you get away with it? ”
Quan Qinghua was puzzled, "Why should I run away?" The third brother thinks that how much does a cup of tea have? As for me going to the palace and coming back immediately, well, it was just homesickness and missing my deceased father. But I couldn't enter the palace late at night, so I only stood at the palace gate for a while before returning home. That's all the third brother wants to know. ”
He still stood still, as if he was frozen in place, until he raised his hand, pointed to the door of the mansion and made a gesture of please: "It's late at night, third brother, please go back!" As for the gate of the mansion that you have kicked in, I will send someone to make a new one tomorrow, and I will not ask the third brother for compensation. After all, if a door breaks with a kick, it can't stop anything. Unlike the third brother's newly renovated Renwang Mansion, I heard that it cost a lot of silver to repair the palace wall last year, so it must be very strong and enduring, even if it is split with lightning, it can't be cleaved. ”
Hearing him mention his house wall, Quan Qingyun rushed up again with anger in his stomach, and was finally pressed down by him.
He looked around, the Dust King Mansion given by the first emperor when he was the king of the sun, after so many years of desertion, now even if someone lives back, it looks lifeless. Such a person who has been sent to another country to be a proton since he was a child, what is he angry with him?
So he smiled and said, "You haven't been back to Beijing for many years, and you don't even have much humanity in the house." Fourth, do you plan to go back again when you come back this time? ”
Quan Qing's picture did not change, and he still said coldly: "Don't bother the third brother, you should go back, and if you shouldn't go back, you won't go back." Whether I go or stay is never up to me. ”
"Yes." Quan Qingyun nodded, "It's good that you can understand this truth." That's it, this king is just coming to see you tonight, and by the way, ask about the fourth lady of the night. Now that people have seen it, they won't stay long. Fourth, you rest early, this door should be redone twice, no one has pushed it for too many years, and the wood is bad. ”
As His Royal Highness was leaving, he pulled the half-broken door with all his might. This time it was completely broken, and when I heard a bang, half of the door collapsed to the ground, accompanied by the laughter of His Royal Highness Nioh, and completed its mission for more than ten years.
Quan Qinghua watched all this silently, until the carriage of King Ren's Mansion had gone away, and then he heard the entourage around him complain: "The Third Highness is really too bullying, he is also a prince, how noble is he than us?" Why do you toss like this? ”
Quan Qinghua smiled lightly, "Human nature." My father has so many children, and I am the only one who has no roots and no foundation in Lin'an City, who can I bully if I don't bully me? ”
"If it hadn't been ......"
"Don't mention the beginning. How old are you and what do you know? He glared at the attendant and said no more.
The next day's breakfast, Shi Liyuan boiled a bowl of fish soup. Ye Wenyan felt that it was a little uncomfortable to eat such meat early in the morning, so he skimmed off the top layer of oil slick, and the fish soup suddenly became a lot brighter.
Not long after eating, when the palace people were removing the table, Lian Shi came in and said: "The Queen Mother sent someone to pass the word, saying that she wanted to see the fourth lady." ”
Shi Liyuan listened impatiently, "From which generation did the royal family start to think that anyone could talk to the deity?" ”
Lian Shi thought for a while and replied: "It seems that since the generation of the first emperor, he doesn't treat himself as an outsider very much." When His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness was born, the first emperor actually went to the foot of Yanhua Mountain to ask for each other in person, hoping that the emperor could give him a face, after all, he was a son-in-law. Later, the first emperor was seriously ill, and he also sent someone to ask the emperor to save his life and let him live for a few more years. ”
Shi Liyuan snorted coldly, "Then you can tell them what outsiders are, and also tell them that not everyone who wants to see Yanhua Palace can see it." What are they doing when Yanhua Palace? ”
Lian Shi commanded: "The slave will go and reprimand!" ”
Ye Wenyan stopped: "You wait a while." Then he said to Shi Liyuan, "Anyway, she is the queen mother of the dynasty, although she is only in charge of half of the harem, but she wants to see me as a courtier, and this face should still be given." Why don't I go and see? ”
