Chapter 13: Blushing

After listening to Xie Xuan's generous statement, Yun Niang couldn't help but be silent for a while.

It sounds like every sentence is reasonable, but when you put it together, you always feel that something is not right.

She held back for a long time, and finally came up with a reasonable wording, "Then why are you helping me?" ”

Xie Xuan said, "No matter what the actual situation is, at least nominally you are still my Xie family's child." Your position is stable, which is a good thing for the Xie family, and the minister must naturally do his best. ”

Reasonable.

This time, Yun Niang couldn't think of anything else that she could refuse, so she could only compromise, "Okay, then you go to the East Palace, and say that I will ask the county lord to come over to the mansion." ”

Xie Xuan gave up his hand, didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked out with the little servant.

Yun Niang pinched her waist and looked at his back as he gradually moved away, a little annoyed for no reason, "Hey, you're just leaving?" ”

Xie Xuan didn't answer, and soon with a flash, the person completely disappeared at the end of the corridor on that side.

Finally got away from that Yun Niang, the little girl still had the residual shame at this time and did not retreat, and when she half looked up, she saw that her son was still calm as usual, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Young Master, are you really not angry when you hear that Yun Niang's flirtatious words?" ”

Xie Xuan glanced at him and said softly, "Ah Mo, you have to remember that even if you are angry, you have to stay where it is worth using. ”

"In the face of the character of the righteous county lord, if I am angry, I will do what she wants."

Xie Mo snorted obediently, scratching his head, and was puzzled, "But in that case, wouldn't it be better for us to avoid her?" Why do you have to come in person? ”

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly slapped his head, "Ah... You're here to accommodate the county lord, right? ”

Xie Xuan snorted, "It's been more than a month since Zirong woke up after being injured, but she hasn't come to me, I'm worried about ......"

He stopped talking, looked down and smiled.

Xie Mo hurriedly answered smartly, "What's there to worry about?" In Chang'an City, besides you, who else is qualified to marry the county lord? What's more, Ah Mo has followed you since he was a child, and what the county lord has about you, Ah Mo will know at a glance. ”

Xie Xuan heard this, but he was not as happy as Xie Mo imagined, but frowned slightly, "Can you see that she loves me?" ”

Xie Mo nodded vigorously, "Mm-hmm." ”

Xie Xuan shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that Saion lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing." ”

Xie Mo was puzzled, "What does the young master mean by this?" ”

Xie Xuan said, "Haven't you understood the big and small things that have happened in the past month? This Li Yong's position as the crown prince is not stable. ”

Xie Mo was stunned, "So you mean...... Isn't it actually a good thing for us to marry the prince now? ”

Xie Xuan pursed his lips and was silent, but did not deny it.

Xie Mo was puzzled, "But why did you persuade the county lord of Dayi to send you to the East Palace to pick up the county lord just now?" Isn't that creating an opportunity to get along? ”

Xie Xuan was silent for a while before he sighed, "Yes." ”

"Because, even I can understand the current situation, how can my grandfather not understand it? I am not the only one in the Xie family who is qualified to marry the county lord, and now, it depends on who has a more positive attitude......

“…… It's just a gamble. ”

Xie Xuan's melancholy voice scattered in the air.

……

……

East Palace. Li Ronghe was reviewing the chapters, and did not forget to explain to Yan Xie by the way the various things to be done in the East Palace.

The mother concubine died of illness, and now there is no one to preside over the affairs of the East Palace, and the elder brother has sent an envoy to Suizhou Inspector, and it will take at least three months to return.

Therefore, as the only concubine, the responsibility of taking care of the East Palace naturally fell on Li Ronghe's shoulders.

At this time, she was sitting on the desk to approve the various notes on personnel transfers and financial revenues and expenditures submitted by the officials of the Eastern Palace, word by word, meticulous and focused.

After each batch of copies, Yan Xie handed out one copy.

Outside the hall at this time, a row of eunuchs belonging to different departments were waiting, all of them bowing their heads respectfully, patiently waiting to receive the excerpts approved by the county lord.

The sun outside the hall rose higher and higher, and with the departure of the last eunuch, Li Ronghe finally put down the cinnabar pen and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

Baozhu, who was accompanying him, was full of distress when he saw it, "The county lord is tired?" Do you want the orb to press for you? ”

Li Ronghe shook his head, and suddenly remembered, "What day is it?" ”

Baozhu said, "It's the sixth day of the fourth month. ”

Is it the sixth day of April? I didn't expect it to be a month in the blink of an eye.

If she remembers correctly, it should have been the past few days.

Li Ronghe asked Yan Xiedao, "Uncle Yan, has there been any abnormality in Gaofu recently?" ”

She had instructed Yan Xie half a month ago, asking him to send someone to monitor the ringing of Yushi Gaoyang's mansion at all times, so when asked at this time, Yan Xie quickly replied, "There is nothing abnormal." ”

Li Ronghe nodded and didn't ask again.

The Gao Yang she wanted Yan Xie to stare at was Yun Niang's enemy.

According to Yun Niang, Gao Yang went to a place called Ping'an County as a supervisor, and then because the local county order could not pay high tribute, he impeached him in the court, accusing him of extorting money and killing the people.

It was the beginning of the new laws drawn up by the emperor.

The new law requires strict prevention of corruption and bribery by local officials, as well as collusion between officials and local gentry and officials and people to oppress the people.

The men of his family were all exiled to Lingnan, and all the women were confiscated into the court as maids.

Yun Niang told Li Ronghe this story, but she didn't say anything about her relationship with the county order, and only asked her to kill Gao Yang for herself.

Even if she didn't say it, Li Ronghe could probably guess that maybe it was because Yun Niang was unwilling to get involved with the county order family as a dusty woman.

So she didn't ask much, but just sent Yan Xie to check the authenticity of this story and supervise the movements of Gaofu.

Gao Yang was born in the Gao family in Henan Province and is a local family, so the mansion in Chang'an City is also prosperous and prosperous.

With such an identity and status, if she wants to assassinate Gao Yang, she naturally can't choose to do it in a crowded place, she knows this.

But some people don't know.

She remembered that in her previous life, it was at this time that there was a ranger named Qin Lang'er, disguised as a hawker and squatting not far outside Gaofu, and deliberately created chaos for the horses when Gao Yang returned to his house, and killed Gao Yang on the street.

There are many servants in Gaofu, and Chang'an City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there is a Yulin army to patrol ten steps.

Under such strict defense, Qin Lang'er, who killed someone, naturally couldn't dodge, and was immediately captured alive and imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.

A few days later, the news came that Qin Lang'er had committed suicide in prison.

From the time of his arrest to his death, I heard that the Criminal Department did not even have time to file a file.

Speaking of this, it stands to reason that Li Ronghe was in the East Palace at the time, and this kind of strange talk should not have reached her ears.

But she has a father who yearns for the rivers and lakes and dreams of becoming a ranger.

I heard that there was such a ranger who assassinated himself and finally died, and even if he wrote a notebook, he thought that there must be a grievance in it, and he wanted to rehabilitate him.

He was already on the cusp of Yun Niang's affairs at that time, and when the emperor saw the prince, he actually came to shout for a ranger who killed an important minister of the imperial court, and in a hurry, he simply beat him ten boards, threw him back to the East Palace, and let him think about it behind closed doors, and only released it for a whole month.

Knowing such a process, of course Li Ronghe will not let Qin Lang'er die again in this life.

Not only for her father, but she also wanted to know whether Qin Lang'er's assassination of Gao Yang in the previous life was arranged by Xiao Liu, a plan to kill two birds with one stone, or a coincidence of a fisherman's profit.

And the answer depends on whether there will be a person like Qin Lang'er in this life, and whether he is still going to assassinate Gao Yang.

Thinking of this, Li Ronghe instructed Yan Xiedao, "In the next few days, we will send more more people over, especially young people, who are about seventeen or eighteen years old." If you hear a young man inquiring about Gao Yushi's whereabouts, he will be arrested and returned to the East Palace. ”

“……”

Yan Xie didn't respond quickly this time, but was a little silent.

Young, seventeen or eighteen years old, young people......

The corners of Yan Xie's eyes jumped, and after thinking about it again and again, he still tactfully admonished, "County Lord, the minister thinks that there is something wrong with this matter of raising the face. First, you are still young, and second, even if you really want to raise it, you should wait for the county lord and the princess to get married before considering it......"

Yan Xie is a retainer of the Yan family, and because he is the same age as Li Ronghe's mother Yan Yao, he has been serving as a bodyguard since he was a child.

Because of this, under the influence of Yan Yao, some shocking remarks in the eyes of the world are only sparse and ordinary.

But even so, when he heard the thirteen-year-old little county lord say from his mouth that he wanted to arrest the young man and return to the East Palace, he still felt a little unbearable.

At this time, Li Ronghe was also stunned when he heard Yan Xie's words.

Then he reacted, and couldn't help but smile, "Uncle Yan, you are thinking too much, I want to find this person, not to raise him as a noodle." ”

Belch...... Not to make noodles?

Yan Xie's face turned red.

Li Ronghe explained, "This person's name is Qin Lang'er, and he is a ranger. Previously, my brother wrote to say that Qin Lang'er was his old acquaintance, and recently he might go to Gaofu to seek revenge because of some personal grievances, so he asked me to help pay attention to it. ”

I see!

Yan Xie understood, and suddenly felt that he was rude, and it was difficult to hide the shame on his face, so he hurriedly lowered his head and handed his hand, "It's the minister who lost his words." ”

Li Ronghe was not annoyed, and after a few more instructions, he asked him to go.

As soon as Yan Xie left, Baozhu covered his mouth and grinned, "It's the first time I've seen Yan Duwei blush." ”

Li Ronghe also smiled, and was about to say something, but saw Yan Xie, who had left, turned back and said solemnly, "County Lord, Xie Xuan asks to see you." ”
