Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Extra Daughter
"Then we should ...... now," Bai Lichen asked, rolling his eyes.
Feng Mingye and Bailichen have returned to the dark pile in Tongzhou, so what Feng Mingye is going to do next, Bailichen really doesn't know.
"Someone." Feng Mingye shouted softly.
The night wind suddenly appeared and said, "Master." ”
"Send someone to investigate whether the manor on the mountain is Prince Yu's Zhuangzi. Remember, it's better not to ask anything than to startle a snake. Feng Mingye commanded.
Nightwind replied, "Yes." "When the night wind receded, he sent someone to investigate.
Bai Lichen asked again: "If it is confirmed that it is the manor of Prince Yu Murong Wei, do you really have to ask him if he picked up a baby girl back then?" Will people tell you? "Bailichen is entangled.
"Do you think this king is you?" It's stupid. Sixteen years ago, he investigated very clearly, although he didn't know if the baby girl was rescued by Murong Wei, but he knew that Murong Wei entered the palace that day. At that time, Princess Yu was not pregnant, and there was only a three-year-old son by her side. Either the woman was conceived when Prince Yu left the capital, or she was not born to Murong Wei. It's just that this matter has to be investigated secretly, in case the imperial concubine is aware of it.
"What do you mean?" Bai Lichen looked unhappy. Because, what he saw in Feng Mingye's eyes was that he was stupid.
"Bai Lichen, you say, if that woman is really a little princess, will she return to Beijing with this king?" Feng Mingye was obviously reluctant to discuss the issue of IQ with Bai Lichen.
"Huh? I'm not her, but looking at her greed for money, I'm afraid I can't wait. Bai Lichen said with a fan.
"Hehe, do you think she looks like she's short of silver?" Feng Mingye remembered the decoration of the manor, although her house looked inconspicuous, but it was all excellent objects. Although the clothes he wore looked ordinary, they couldn't hide it from him. That's the fabric made of Shu brocade. When I came out of the hot spring, I was wearing a nightgown made of mulberry silk. It seems that Prince Yu is extremely fond of her, and she has lived well over the years, and that is enough.
Bai Lichen touched his nose and said, "It's not like it, but when she was in Xuzhou, you forgot about the matter of returning to Yun Pavilion?" ”
"Of course not, I'm afraid you forgot that she went to Xianyun Zhai specifically for the hosta of mutton fat jade." If it was really a money-hungry woman, and she saw such a priceless thing, and she didn't keep it for herself, she would have sent it back.
Yun Niang had received his order before, if she returned the hosta, find a reason to refuse. Let Yun Niang use any method, as long as she can accept it. But after waiting for several days, even Yun Niang thought that this woman must have seen the white hosta and was reluctant to send it back. However, today's actions told her that people had not seen the white hosta at all, and when she was in the carriage today, she knew that this white hosta was so valuable.
"Yes, this woman is really strange. By the way, didn't you suspect that she was the one who sent the letter with the silver needle? Why not give her a try? Bai Lichen asked puzzled.
"Try? How to try? Last time, I sent someone to follow her carriage, and even the old man who was driving the carriage sensed that someone was following. And ...... "When he followed him to the garden that day, he was almost discovered, and it was too embarrassing for him to tell Baili about it."
"And what?" Bai Lichen asked curiously.
"It's nothing, let's wait until tomorrow's investigation is clear." Feng Mingye said slowly.
"Hmph, my son is going to sleep." After Bai Lichen put away the fan, he went out.
After Feng Mingye shook his head, he walked under the window and looked at the starry sky outside the window.
He hoped that this woman was the person he was looking for, and that he would not be disappointed.
After lunch on the second day, Night Breeze went to the study and said, "Master, there is news." ”
"Say." Feng Mingye didn't talk nonsense, let the night breeze hurry up.
"The garden is indeed Prince Yu's, and Prince Yu has been in the manor on the mountain since he came to Tongzhou, accompanying Prince Yu and Princess Yu every day. Now they have two sons and two daughters. You've seen the son, and there's a daughter who is about to die. And the remaining son and daughter are dragon and phoenix fetuses, just fourteen years old. Night Wind quickly informed Feng Mingye of the results of the investigation.
"A daughter who is about to reach the end of her life, isn't this just about to be sixteen years old? It seems that this king needs to meet this Prince Yu. Feng Mingye said slightly.
"Master, didn't that woman go up the mountain yesterday? Living in the mountains is Prince Yu's master. Night Breeze said slowly.
"Well, got it. You go down first. ”
Feng Mingye was left alone, tapping lightly on the table with one hand. No wonder this woman is so unusual, it turned out that Prince Yu's master was personally taught.
Actually, what Feng Mingye didn't know was that Murong Xi came to this world openly. Murong Xi's master only taught her medical skills and martial arts, and poison art was something that she never forgot. When she was a child, she tossed around the people in the yard. Her twin siblings made her toss, and it was because of this that her master valued her so much and brought her to the mountains.
As for Murong Xi, she didn't go back to the house, there was a big tree in her yard, and when she was bored, she built a shelf on the tree, and there was everything on the shelf. And the top is hollowed out, so you can see the stars and the moon. When Murong Xi was bored, he would go to stay there. No, at this time, she was too bored to stay on it. Mo'er frowned and shouted below: "Miss, when are you coming down, Mo'er wants to hear you talk about Xuzhou." ”
Murong Xi's head hurt from her quarrel, and said, "Didn't Rushi and Ruhua tell you?" ”
"Miss, they're just telling a story. It's tasteless to say, and it's wonderful every time the young lady comes back. Mo'er said expectantly.
"Then you come up, it's too stuffy in the house, you come up, I'll tell you." Murong Xi shouted.
"Got it, Miss, I'll go prepare some things and I'll come right away." Jokes, listen to the story of the lady is not ready for tea and pastries? It's not boring.
Murong Xi shook her head, how could she not know Mo'er's thoughts. It's just that she didn't take Mo'er out this time, and she was bored.
These girls are all her right-hand men, but if she is broken, why are they all the same as her.
"Where have you been these days?" A stern voice came into Murong Xi's ears. I rub, father.
After Murong Xi cautiously got down from above, he looked at his father respectfully.
"Father, I went to find herbs for my master, and I was delayed for a few days." Murong Xi said without changing his face.
Murong Wei heard that she had gone up the mountain to collect medicine, so she was a little deflated, and her voice was not as stern as just now, and she said gently: "It turned out that she went to collect medicine, you should be more careful when you go up the mountain in the future." It's almost time to go, so it's okay not to wander around the city. If you feel bored, go and accompany your master. ”
"Got it, father." Murong Xi said obediently.
"Well, let's rest early." After Murong Wei finished speaking, he turned around and went out.
Mo'er came back with her things and happened to bump into Murong Wei, and said respectfully, "Master." ”
After Murong Wei looked at the things that Mo'er was serving, he said, "Go get busy." ”
Murong Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her father gone. Mo'er stepped forward and said, "Miss, won't the master train you again." ”
"Not really." I don't know why, she was a little scared when she saw her father.
It seems that he was copied a Buddhist scripture or something, and he was frightened.
Murong Wei turned around and looked at Murong Xi's courtyard very meaningfully, and then left.
Xi'er grew up day by day, and in his eyes, the more this girl grew up, the more she missed the queen. He couldn't help but think of the scene on the edge of the moat. So, after investigating, his people found that more than one wave of people in the palace were looking for a baby girl. So, isn't this baby girl Xi'er? It seems that Xi'er is the little princess back then.
However, when he entered the palace, he obviously heard that the queen gave birth to a little prince, why did a baby girl be found in the river? Could it be that the tanuki is changing the prince? No, the queens have already gone, what's the use of changing a prince. Twins? He didn't want Xi'er to be hurt, but if she got to the city and people saw her face, people who were familiar with her would definitely find out about her relationship with the queen. If he wants to harm her, how can he protect him? Yuan Huang Guifei, that ambitious woman, could it be that she was the ghost back then? Therefore, there was more than one group of people sent in the palace, and he didn't know whether he was friend or foe, so he could only aggrieve Xi'er and hide in this mountain.
He returned to his courtyard and heard a gentle voice say, "You're back?" ”
"Hmm." Murong Wei nodded, and then sat aside.
"Alas, Xi'er is about to die, but she is becoming more and more like her mother. You say, what are we going to do? Actually, isn't it good that she's as carefree as she is now? I shudder at the thought of that place. Ordinary people envy that place that can make people clothed and eat for a lifetime, but that place is the Longtan Tiger's Den for us. How can you bear to watch her break in? Su Tianwen's voice was tinged with sadness and reluctance.
"Sister-in-law, it's not fair to her if she doesn't tell her about her background. We should tell her the truth and make her own choice. In that year, the queen died in childbirth.
Moreover, don't you know Xi'er's temperament? If she knew that her mother had been killed, would she stand idly by? She must have killed that man with her own hands.
So, over the years, I have found opportunities for her to write more Buddhist scriptures for her to meditate. Over the years, the affairs in the palace have been investigated. The most problematic is the queen's own sister, the Yuan Emperor's concubine.
So, after the investigation was clear, we told her what was going on and let her choose for herself. If she chooses to go back, I will do my best to help her, and if she chooses her current life, we will just keep it silent. You tell me? Murong Wei said helplessly.
