Chapter 60: The Surprise Four

Leng Suxin was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with doubts, could it be that there were other people at that time?

Qin Yunuan understood Leng Suxin's meaning, and in order to appease Leng Suxin's heart, he just said: "I'm just guessing, after all, the third prince at that time was only ten years old, even if he was meticulous and vicious, no one helped him, how could he find out the details of Weiyang Palace, and send someone to sprinkle kerosene in Weiyang Palace in advance." ”

"I doubt it too." It's not that Leng Suxin didn't think about this problem, but she was too young at the time, and she was just scared.

"Now is not the time to think about that." Qin Yunuan glanced at the mess all over the ground and the broken arrows on the pillar, the top priority is to cover it all up, she can't let the opponent know that there have been casualties here, she wants to make a look that she has already seen through the other party's tricks and prepared early, the more powerful her side looks, the more anxious the other party will be, and when the time comes, it will naturally show her feet.

Leng Su's heart was shocked, but she was afraid in such a quiet way that she had never liked to show her expression on her face, Qin Yunuan calmed down, and took advantage of the night to bring the injured Man'er back to the courtyard, most of the lights in the courtyard had been extinguished, but the candlelight in Leng Changxi's study was still shining.

"Man'er." Leng Wu was originally guarding the door, but when he saw the fainting Man'er on Leng Shuang's back, he even forgot to stick to this duty.

"Brother" Leng Shuang reminded with a cold face, "You are now in charge of the general's safety, pay attention to what you should do." ”

It's the first time I've seen my sister educate her brother in front of so many people, but Leng Wu also listened to it with a good temper, but his eyes kept sticking to the injured Man'er, and the slow mind was clear to ordinary whites.

Qin Yunuan hurriedly entered the study, closed the door lightly, Leng Changxi was lying on the desk carefully studying a few pieces of evidence provided by his subordinates, but he didn't have a very clear clue after looking at it for a long time, and saw Qin Yunuan push the door in, his eyebrows and eyes stretched slightly, and he beckoned Qin Yunuan over.

"You see, these were scraped from under the soles of the assassins' shoes." Leng Changxi pointed to the black dirt in a white paper bag and said, "Doesn't it look familiar." ”

Qin Yunuan glanced at Leng Changxi, and said in a deep tone: "Xianggong, you and I should both remember that this is the mud of green begonias." ”

Leng Changxi's slender fingers paused slightly, and the wooden spoon containing flower clay in his hand inadvertently loosened, his face did not change, but his heart suddenly fell into nothingness;

"Then do you think this green begonia should be in the palace or ......." Leng Changxi's tone was slightly choked, for the first time, he actually had a sense of powerlessness that he couldn't speak.

Qin Yunuan knew what he was afraid of and worried about, Qin Yunuan leaned down slightly, hugged Leng Changxi's neck with both hands, and said softly: "Xianggong, although I don't want to say it, but you and I should face the truth, this mud is so new, it must be not long before it gets wet, it will take at least an hour to avoid so many guards from Yongchang Palace to the courtyard of the four girls, this dirt is from the courtyard of the mother concubine, and the person who wants to kill me is the mother concubine." ”

"Impossible" Leng Changxi said subconsciously, as if he was comforting himself, and as if he was convincing others, "My mother has raised me for twenty years, and I remember every bit of her kindness to me, she is not my biological mother, but she is better than my biological mother, for me, she can spare her life." ”

"Actually, you already knew, didn't you?" Qin Yunuan held Leng Changxi's cheeks with two hands, Leng Changxi's deep eyes and Qin Yunuan's eyes full of tenderness converged, "You are so powerful, you can solve the big case so quickly, but only the case of the fire in Weiyang Palace, you have been investigating for so long but you still stay in place, just because every time you find this point, you will always deliberately avoid the truth, Xianggong, wake up." ”

Leng Changxi lowered his eyes, and when he didn't speak, he was as weak as an ignorant child at this time, and he spoke after a while: "My mother treats me very well, better than my own child, and I take good care of it." ”

"It is precisely because she loves you too much" Qin Yunuan continued, "so she will do everything to monopolize you, she found out that you value me, so she deliberately wanted to get rid of me, she found out that in fact, you are the son of the eldest princess and the eldest princess is still alive in Weiyang Palace, afraid that the eldest princess will one day take you back, so she teamed up with the three princes to make all the plans to create that fire in Weiyang Palace, because the heartache of the miscarriage is fake, the mother is a stone girl, and it is impossible to have children in a lifetime, and you, In fact, it is just a fantasy full of her children and grandchildren. ”

Leng Changxi didn't speak, Qin Yunuan hugged Leng Changxi tighter, she kissed Leng Changxi's forehead: "Xianggong, I know that you feel uncomfortable, you can understand so many people's hearts, but you only saw the wrong concubine, you love your mother, she loves you too, but she loves too crazy, if you indulge her again, I'm afraid, she will only continue to hurt the people around you." ”

Yes, isn't this how Leng Changxi's biological mother, the eldest princess, died? Now that Princess Ning has attacked Qin Yunuan repeatedly, she was only framed before, but now she has blatantly sent assassins to assassinate her, who knows what it will be like next time.

Leng Changxi nodded, took a deep breath, his face recovered as before, and replied softly: "I know." ”

The palace banquet was held on time in Haitang, and most of the women who came were not out of the cabinet, all so that Murong Feng, the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom who was present today, could choose well, and a respected family like Ning Wangfu naturally wanted to attend, Princess Ning took Qin Yunuan into the table, and greeted some of the noblewomen around her one by one.

Princess Ning looked a little tired today, although there was a thick smile on the corners of her eyebrows, eyes and lips, but the heavy bags under her eyelids, even under the cover of this fat powder, there was nothing to hide.

"The mother didn't rest last night, okay?" Qin Yunuan asked with a concerned look.

Princess Ning glanced at Qin Yunuan with her peripheral vision, and said with a gentle smile: "It's okay, it's just that there is a mouse in the corner of the room chattering in the dark, and it is so noisy that people can't sleep." ”

Qin Yunuan smiled: "Oh? And then what? The mother concubine has always been kind-hearted, and she must be reluctant to deal with this mouse;

。 ”

"You can't say that," Princess Ning said meaningfully, "Although I have a good heart, I also look at who I am right, and for this kind of beast who digs the wall and makes people feel uneasy, it is natural to get rid of it." ”

Since last night, the relationship between Princess Ning and Qin Yunuan has become delicate, Princess Ning has dealt with Qin Yunuan so many times, and even directly sent a killer last night, it can be seen that Princess Ning's patience with Qin Yunuan is close to the limit, and she can no longer make that kind look.

Queen Chen has gone, the new queen has not yet been decided, so today's banquet, has been with the emperor is now the highest position in the palace Yun Guifei, the first recovery of the serious illness Yun Guifei looks a little sickly beautiful, full of tender eyes have been swirling on the emperor, even in this court has no scruples, now the establishment of the new queen has been put on the agenda, she is indeed going to work harder.

When Man'er put on Qin Yu's warm clothes, she whispered: "The slave maid looks at Concubine Yun more arrogant than before, everyone is saying that this Concubine Yun must be the best candidate for the queen, the third young grandmother, should we also consider changing our strategy?" ”

"No need" Qin Yunuan took a sip of tea indifferently, the best Biluochun was cooked with fresh snow on the plum blossoms, and her mouth was fragrant, "What the queen looks at is not her appearance, nor the degree of the emperor's favor, but the courage and the ability of the assistant six palaces, Queen Chen just made Concubine Yun sick for more than a month with a small trick, and became the queen?" Yun Guifei is not qualified enough, I think the Yang Cairen next to Yun Guifei is not bad, brave and strategic, decisive, I heard that she has recently been promoted to a position and has become a concubine, which is noteworthy. ”

Man'er nodded in response.

After a while, all the guests were already seated, and Murong Feng, the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom, was wearing a robe and plain clothes with an obvious Western Xia style, sitting at the bottom, with a handsome face and pretty eyebrows, which had already made the hearts of many of the boudoir daughters present flutter.

Murong Feng spoke, his tone was soft, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, which made people feel comfortable, and after enjoying the song and dance, Murong Feng bowed to Emperor Zhaoxuan and said: "The song and dance of Daqi is really magnificent and gorgeous, and Western Xia can't reach it." ”

Emperor Zhaoxuan was very happy to be flattered, and said with a smile: "Murong Gongzi said this early, if you see the next performance of our Daqi Little Phoenix Immortal, you will be even more amazed." ”

After speaking, the inner servants around are cooperatively extinguishing half of the candle flame, this obscure candle flame creates a mysterious and leisurely feeling for the whole hall, this is, the sound of the guqin sounded, approached from outside the hall a slender veiled woman, she gave a slight salute, and then the waist was straight, a straight and neat water sleeve danced away, the water sleeve was sometimes soft and entangled, sometimes full of strength, varied, I thought this was all the wonderful, who expected this little phoenix to turn around and sing, singing is the most widely spread folk song in the south of the Yangtze River, Singing, dancing, each one is a treat.

After a song and a dance, the candle flame was re-gassed, Emperor Zhaoxuan took the lead in applauding, and then the entire hall resounded with applause and praise, and Murong Feng, who came from afar, was even more fresh, and praised again and again, but the woman who was shocked by the dance in the middle was still wearing a veil, calm and speechless, except for giving a salute and thanks, she didn't even mean to take off the veil.

This inevitably made Emperor Zhaoxuan feel a little unhappy.

"Alright, since everyone likes your dancing and singing so much, then take off the veil so that everyone can see what you look like."

Qin Yunuan unhurriedly lifted a wine cup, not in a hurry to drink, just rubbing the edge of the wine cup back and forth, this was the secret signal between her and Leng Suxin.

The woman in the center nodded, generously removed the veil, and the moment the veil landed, someone recognized it.
