Chapter 187: Talking about a private matter
Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing were about to report what they had seen and heard in the past few days to the emperor, but unexpectedly, the eunuch at the door respectfully told them that the emperor was at Ruan Guifei in Huaqing Palace at this time.
Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
Su Wanqing said with some curiosity: "Does the emperor often stay with the concubine Niangniang on weekdays?" Wanqing looked at the concubine Niangniang who looked so beautiful, she must have won the emperor's love! ”
At this moment, Su Wanqing is not wearing a veil, she has an innocent expression, and she is young, so she doesn't seem to have the slightest malice at all, some are just pure curiosity.
Coupled with her very friendly attitude towards the eunuch, the eunuch was a little flattered. After all, for this eunuch, his impression of Su Wanqing is actually still in the original rude willfulness, and he also thinks that the attitude of the six princes towards Su Wanqing is just because the six princes are confused for a while.
But when I saw Su Wanqing today, I realized that the woman who could really get into the eyes of the six princes, no, girl, it's just different. Just the face that captivated the country and the city had already completely compared the concubines in the palace. It's better to say that in front of the future six princesses, those concubines can't even compare to a single hair of her.
The eunuch glanced at the six princes who were sitting in their wheelchairs and had never spoken from beginning to end, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.
Then he looked at Su Wanqing, with obvious respect in his eyes, and he replied with a smile: "The sixth princess is right, the emperor, if you have nothing to do on weekdays, you always like to stay in Huaqing Palace for a while, and sometimes, maybe you will stay for a day." After all, the concubine Niangniang brewed a good tea, which is something that everyone in the entire palace knows. ”
Su Wanqing looked suddenly enlightened, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect the concubine to have such a powerful craft, no wonder the emperor likes to stay at Ruan Guifei's place all day long, presumably the emperor must be very fond of drinking tea, right?" ”
The little eunuch was a little excited when he saw Su Wanqing cheering like this, and he said happily: "Yes, the six princesses also know that our emperor's biggest hobby is drinking tea." This concubine also knows how to do what she likes, not to mention the exquisite tea art, she often searches for rare tea leaves from all over the world, and there are many of them, or they are obtained from foreign countries. That's why the emperor likes it so much, after all, he has never drunk those teas in Tianli Country. ”
Su Wanqing's eyes widened, and she said with some surprise: "The concubine is so powerful? How was she able to find so much tea? ”
The eunuch smiled, scratched his head and said, "I don't know much about this Sprinkle family, but I heard that the concubine Niangniang often contacts some foreign envoys in order for the emperor to often drink different fresh tea." ”
"Do you often come into contact with some foreign envoys......" Su Wanqing muttered, she seemed to think of something, and a dark color crossed her eyes.
The eunuch seemed to want to chat with Su Wanqing, but a happy voice had already come from the side: "Xiaoliu, Su girl, you two are back!" ”
After hearing this voice, the eunuch hurriedly stood up straight, and Su Wanqing and Pei Xiu also turned their heads and bowed slightly.
"Father."
"Your Majesty."
Pei Tianyu looked at their appearance and said with a smile: "Just came back, are you dusty?" Do you want to wash up first? ”
Seeing that Pei Tianyu was in such a good mood, it must be because he had just come out of Huaqing Palace.
Su Wanqing and Pei Xiu glanced at each other, and Pei Xiu replied lightly: "No need father, we have already rested on the way back." Let's start by telling you about the information we've gathered. ”
Su Wanqing also echoed beside her: "Yes, Uncle Huang, you have also been worried for several days, you must be very anxious, you are not in a hurry to rest, it is important to inform Uncle Huang of the most important things first." ”
Pei Tianyu glanced at Pei Xiu, then at Su Wanqing, and said with a smile: "You little ghost girl, you know what I'm thinking." Okay, come in first, don't stand outside. Defu, go make tea. ”
The eunuch hurriedly bowed his head and replied, "Yes!" ”
Su Wanqing pushed Pei Xiu and walked towards the imperial study.
After entering the imperial study, Pei Tianyu stepped back, looking at Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing, the smile had faded, and was replaced by a faint seriousness.
He pondered for a moment, and then said, "Have you found anything when you go out this time?" ”
Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing glanced at each other, and then Pei Xiu spoke: "We went to the small fishing village this time and checked the two faceless female corpses, and found that there was no blood on their bodies, and then Wanwan found something on the female corpse that did not belong to her......
In the empty imperial study, Pei Xiu's unique and beautiful voice turned, and he slowly narrated what happened and what happened on the way.
Su Wanqing didn't interrupt next to her, just listened quietly. She found that a man was really attractive when he spoke seriously, even if Pei Xiu was wearing a mask at the moment, Su Wanqing had seen his face after all, and she could naturally think of how handsome he was under the mask.
Not to mention that this face is placed in ancient times, even if it is placed in modern times, it will kill those so-called little fresh meat stars in seconds. At least in Su Wanqing's eyes, she thinks so.
Your own man, of course, is the best, there is no doubt about it!
Pei Tianyu listened to Pei Xiu's narration quietly, and raised some of his own questions from time to time, but Pei Xiu answered them one by one.
Su Wanqing found that although Pei Xiu had never interfered in anything and had always let himself move, he was able to remember many details very clearly. Even some neglected places were mentioned by Pei Xiu one by one.
It turned out that when he wasn't paying attention, this man had been silently watching him behind him, and he was so serious.
After Pei Tianyu understood the general situation of the matter, he nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Now that you have caught the murderer, I have relieved most of my heart." Sure enough, let Xiaoliu and Su Yatou go out, and there won't be anything you can't do. This matter is now resolved, and I am rewarded! ”
Pei Tianyu used the self-title "I" here, indicating that he attaches great importance to and trusts the two.
Su Wanqing thought about it, but still mentioned: "Your Majesty, this matter is strange. Although the murderer of the two women has been caught, he must be the only one behind it, and you also know this murderer, Your Majesty. ”
Pei Tianyu was slightly stunned.
"Oh? Who is this murderer? ”
Su Wanqing said in a deep voice: "It is the grandson of Doctor Xu's family: Xu Che." ”
After Pei Tianyu heard this, his expression changed.
"Imperial Physician Xu? How could it be ......"
Pei Xiu next to him interjected in a timely manner: "I heard that this Xu Che has only recently returned to Imperial Doctor Xu, and where he has been staying before, Erchen has not found out for the time being. But it probably had something to do with what happened to him, or why did he come back suddenly? ”
Pei Tianyu couldn't help but sigh, and said helplessly: "In vain, Imperial Doctor Xu has spoken well about Xu Che in front of me many times, saying how filial he is, and I regret very much why I didn't find this grandson earlier." ”
After hearing this, Su Wanqing was slightly stunned and asked, "Was this Xu Che missing all the time before?" ”
Pei Tianyu nodded and replied, "I heard that Imperial Doctor Xu said that the midwife made a fuss and lost the child, but she never found it. Recently, there was news of this grandson, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing! If Imperial Physician Xu knew, how sad he would be! He is a healer who saves people, but his grandson ......"
Pei Tianyu didn't continue, but the two people present understood what he meant.
Su Wanqing thought for a while, and then asked, "Then what did Imperial Doctor Xu rely on to recognize this grandson?" ”
Although Pei Tianyu didn't know why Su Wanqing asked like this, she only thought that she wanted to know more about this murderer, so she replied: "I heard that Imperial Doctor Xu said that this Xu Che came to the door with their Xu family's tokens. Before the child was lost, he once put a jade pendant on the child's body, and this jade pendant represented his grandson's identity. That jade pendant was real, so Imperial Physician Xu was convinced of it. ”
Su Wanqing looked at Pei Tianyu, and said softly after a while: "The jade pendant is real, but the person is not necessarily." ”
Pei Tianyu looked at Su Wanqing, who had a calm face, seemed to realize something, was slightly startled, and hurriedly said: "What Su Yatou means is that this Xu Che is fake, he just got this jade pendant by chance, so he came to pretend to be the grandson of Imperial Doctor Xu?" ”
Su Wanqing nodded, and said in a deep voice: "If this Xu Che is true, he will not do such a thing, and it will not be beneficial to him or the family in the slightest." After so many years, it is impossible to judge what people look like. And not long after he appeared, such an accident happened in the capital, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence, Your Majesty? It's as if this Xu Che was sent to the door on purpose. ”
After Su Wanqing said this, Pei Tianyu realized that things didn't seem to be so simple. This is indeed too much of a coincidence. And this Xu Che is fake, but he has this jade pendant in his hand, so the real Xu Che is likely to be more than lucky......
Now these things can only wait for Xu Che to wake up and interrogate him carefully.
Pei Tianyu was about to let Pei Xiu and Su Wanqing go back to rest, when Pei Xiu on the side suddenly spoke.
"Father, after talking about official business, let's talk about private matters."
Pei Tianyu was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "What private matter?" ”
"Of course it's my marriage to Wanwan."
As soon as these words came out, they attracted the attention of the two.
