Chapter 25: The Man Behind the Scenes

Updated: 2014-04-20

Shangguan Yi's testimony is undoubtedly the most favorable evidence, and all scholars in Daqi know that Mr. Shangguan Yi is the most particular about character and life, and he will not abandon so much glorious fame and fame and fortune and retreat to Jiangnan.

It's just that when Qin Yunuan and Shangguan Yi got along, they had obviously left for so long, but Shangguan Yi insisted that Qin Yunuan never left, but was just helping her nakedly, and was even willing to give false testimony for Qin Yunuan.

"Since I have Mr. Shangguan Yi as my guarantor, I naturally want to believe in the innocence of Lord Pingjun." Emperor Zhaoxuan seemed to be quickly moved by Shangguan Yi, and his tone of voice did not have the slightest hesitation.

"In addition, the old man has another thing to return to when he enters the palace this time." Shangguan Yi straightened up, his eyebrows were already gray, but his eyes were still wise, "For the position of the national superintendent proposed by the emperor, if the emperor does not dislike the old man who is over seventy years old, he is an old bone, and he is willing to continue to work for the Confucianism of Daqi." ”

"Good!" Emperor Zhaoxuan was overjoyed from the heart, his eyebrows fluttered, and he stroked his palms and praised, "Yi Lao is willing to continue to contribute to Daqi, which is the blessing of Daqi." ”

"The premise is," Shangguan Yi suddenly changed his words, "the old personnel of Guozijian need to be investigated, and those officials who have formed a party and run a private business cannot continue to enrich their personal pockets." ”

"This Mr. Shangguan can rest assured," Leng Changxi said lightly, "The relevant people and other juniors have been taken into custody, just waiting for the emperor to send them down." ”

Shangguan Yi's eyes were clear and elegant, and he nodded approvingly at Leng Changxi, but the eyes that turned to Qin Zhen suddenly condensed, this look couldn't help but surprise Qin Qian, and made him think of the way Yang looked at him when he was dying six years ago, and he was also so indifferent and cold, as if he had seen through a negative person, and all hope was shattered.

When he saw Yang for the first time, he knew that Yang was not as simple as an ordinary embroidery girl, where could there be such an excellent appearance and such a lady-like demeanor, and what was even more strange was that Yang would actually write poems and songs, and afterwards he only sent someone to check, and found out the details of Yang's family, he wanted to use this relationship, but he didn't expect Yang to die rather than obey, when Yang finished grinding all his patience, his pretended sweet words were transformed into a sentence of evil words and coercion, He even connived at Dou's cruelty to Yang.

Thinking of the Yang family, looking at Shangguan Yi's eyes again, Qin Zhen inevitably felt a little weak, Shangguan Yi's protection of Qin Yunuan and meddling in the matter of Guozijian seemed to tell him that Shangguan Yi already knew about the Yang family, and also knew the true identities of Qin Yunuan and Qin Baochuan;

Liu Shangshu had already gone down with his dead son, and Emperor Zhaoxuan promised him that he would continue to investigate this matter thoroughly, but if it was not Qin Linfeng who died, then where did Qin Linfeng go?

Just when Qin Zhen and Qin Yunuan were fighting each other, someone from outside the hall came to report that the Shangguan girl had presented a letter that Qin Linfeng had given to her when he left.

Shangguan Yi, and Qin Linfeng? Thinking of the sworn words and vicious curses that Shangguan Yi said in front of Qin Yunuan, Qin Yunuan always raised some vigilance.

Emperor Zhaoxuan quickly skimmed through the letter, but his eyes became very strange, and his tone was a little unnatural, he looked at Qin Zhen and said: "In the letter, the eldest son of the Qin family claims to be the identity, and the eldest prince of the Qin family said that he has always been committed to the Quartet, but he has always been worried that his sister will not be able to marry happily, and now that Yun Makeup has found a good place, he has nothing to worry about, and he hurriedly said goodbye, and I hope my father will forgive me." ”

Hmph, Qin Yunuan snorted coldly in her heart, such a tone, such a statement is false as soon as you hear it, all Qin Linfeng thinks about in his heart is Qin Yun's makeup, how can he leave so easily, not to mention, Qin Yunuan really saw Qin Linfeng being sunk in the lake.

Qin Zhi's hand that took the letter was trembling, because tears fascinated his eyes, this letter was only a page Qin Qin looked very laborious, and after a long time, Qin Zhen raised his head slightly and said: "This is indeed the handwriting of the dog." ”

"It turns out that it's just a misunderstanding," Queen Chen played the circle awkwardly, "It's just that this Lin Feng is too reckless, so he said goodbye without saying a word, which makes people worry in vain, it just so happens that this Liu Gongzi and Lin Feng are wearing almost the same clothes, and their bodies are similar, which is inevitably misunderstood." Queen Chen said, and stroked her sleeves, looking calm and gentle.

"Misunderstanding?" Shangguan Yi suddenly said clearly, "It turns out that in the eyes of the queen mother, a human life is just a misunderstanding? ”

"I'll definitely investigate thoroughly." Mr. Shangguan Yi opened his mouth to question, and Emperor Zhaoxuan did not dare to be sloppy, so he immediately made a promise.

Out of the main hall, Qin Yunuan saw Shangguan Yi, who was over seventy years old, standing next to a copper pillar outside the hall, his white and elegant sleeves dancing in the wind, which was even more profound and charming in this dark night, it was obvious that Shangguan Yi was waiting for her.

Qin Yunuan turned his head and glanced at Leng Changxi, and said softly, "You go to the carriage and wait for me first, okay?" ”

Leng Changxi glanced at Shangguan Yi, he knew the true relationship between Qin Yunuan and Shangguan Yi, coupled with Shangguan Yi's obvious maintenance of Qin Yunuan in front of the palace, he was very relieved, this was his instinct, he would never put Qin Yunuan in an excessively dangerous place, such as today, no matter how busy he is and how cumbersome the things around him are, he will definitely appear by his little hedgehog's side at the most critical time.

Watching Leng Changxi walk away briskly, Qin Yunuan walked to Shangguan Yi's side and looked up at the blood-colored night in this deep palace with him.

"Thank you ...... today."

Before Qin Yunuan finished speaking, Shangguan Yi suddenly made a silent gesture, his eyes also followed the deep ups and downs of the night, and the words overflowing from his mouth were like chanting Buddhist scriptures, which was enough to cleanse people's hearts: "Don't speak, Yu'er was the most attentive to the stars when she was a child, she said that she was afraid that talking loudly would wake up the sleeping stars, so the stars would fly away." ”

Shangguan Yi said as he spoke, and his eyebrows involuntarily revealed a kind of sadness: "Now that Yu'er is gone, you and Baochuan are my Yu'er, in the past, I believed in justice and fairness, but I found that these two things can't even protect my favorite relatives, from now on, Yunuan, you and Baochuan have relatives, and this time, I won't let anyone hurt you;

。 ”

"Thank you, grandpa." Qin Yunuan leaned closer and whispered back, there were many people in the palace, she didn't dare to go too far, but the gratitude in her heart was almost overflowing.

"Grandfather, father urged you to come over." Suddenly, there was a loud female voice, Qin Yunuan turned around with the voice, and saw Shangguan Yi, who was standing slimly behind in goose yellow clothes, looking at the two of them quietly.

Shangguan Yi had a gentle smile on his face, this smile was a little similar to Qin Yunuan some times, if it was about blood, Shangguan Yi and Qin Yunuan should be regarded as cousins, no wonder the two were somewhat similar in some aspects, such as being ruthless, Shangguan Yi had already begun to be self-taught.

Shangguan Yi glanced at Qin Yunuan meaningfully, and then brushed his sleeves and left, but Shangguan Yi stayed, and there were busy palace maids and eunuchs walking by in the corridor from time to time, and Qin Yunuan and Shangguan Yi always maintained a certain distance.

"I'm underestimating you." Qin Yunuan suddenly spoke, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and the tranquil but solemn temperament exuded from her body was like nature.

"Really?" Shangguan Yi grinned happily, "It's not just you, I'm surprised by the change in myself." ”

"Qin Linfeng's letter, how did you get it?" Qin Yunuan asked this question, and then laughed self-deprecatingly, "Forget it, last time you even could forge the correspondence between Shangguan Rang and Qin Yunxiang casually, what is a mere handwriting of Qin Linfeng?" ”

Qin Yunuan did it on purpose, she knew that the most unmentionable pain in Shangguan Yi's heart was Shangguan Rang, and sure enough, seeing Shangguan Yi's face gradually turn blue, the smile on Qin Yunuan's face deepened.

"Don't say what you shouldn't say."

"What should I not say?" Qin Yunuan tilted his head slightly, "Shangguan let it?" Well? ”

"You ......," Shangguan Yi's eyes instantly turned red, "Don't forget, when you were questioned by the emperor and the queen by your father in the main hall, I saved you with a letter." ”

"Oh? Is it? Qin Yunuan saw everything very clearly, "You saved me?" Did you save me or hurt me, you know in your own heart, didn't you buy the palace maid who insisted that I pushed Qin Linfeng into the water? You hate Qin Linfeng for ignoring you, and you hate Qin Yunxiang for killing your brother and taking away your sweetheart, you conspired with the tiger and sold the news to the third prince Sima Rui, but you still wanted to pull me into the water and push Qin Linfeng's death on my head, but I didn't expect it, hmph, there is always someone who is one move higher than you. ”

Listening to Qin Yunuan analyze the ins and outs of everything without reservation, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, everything she did spit out from Qin Yunuan's mouth felt like throwing her naked on the street to accept everyone's comments and scolding.

"So, Liu Gongzi was really killed by you?" Shangguan Yi replied with a sigh.

"No," Qin Yunuan glanced at Shangguan Yi, this lady of Shangguan Mansion is still too young, and she is just a ruthless novice in terms of playing tricks, "I'm not so cruel, it should have been done by another person who wanted to frame my life, so Shangguan girl, look at it, there are too many people who want to take my life, and you are not qualified enough." ”

"You ......." Shangguan Yi was obviously angered by Qin Yunuan's sentence "not qualified enough". "Who do you think you are? Why are you telling me that you are not qualified? ”
