Chapter 196: The Next Yuan Festival (12)

Nan Jinyan never knew that in his father's bedroom, there was a secret room, which was surrounded by walls on three sides, and there were no windows, so it was connected to the dormitory through the secret door of the bookcase, and the secret door was open, but he didn't feel depressed.

There are floor-to-ceiling candlesticks in the four corners of the secret room, the candlesticks are divided into three layers, resembling a lotus flower in full bloom, there is a candle on each petal, each candlestick can place ten candles at the same time, the candle flame is lit, but it is very bright.

It's not very big, it can probably accommodate fifty or sixty people at the same time, and on the wall facing the secret door, there are four portraits of Hui Guifei, and the scenery in the painting should be painted in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The four paintings are the scenes of reading under the flowers in spring, painting by the lotus pond in summer, playing the piano under the maple tree in autumn, and playing chess in the plum pavilion in winter.

Nan Jinyan approached the portrait, only to see that the woman in the painting was graceful, her facial features were extraordinary, the whole person was full of aura, and there was a tear mole at the corner of her left eye, which was in the same position as Nan Jinyan's, and he raised his hand and gently touched the corner of his eye.

"Didn't the father say that everything with the mother concubine was destroyed?" Nan Jinyan looked at the things here and asked her father-in-law, "Why is there still here?" ”

The father-in-law sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty is infatuated with the concubine Niangniang, and it is said that it is destroyed, but in fact it has been moved here, although the past is not very glorious, but Your Majesty's heart for Niangniang is rare in this world, so that His Royal Highness is very fond of His Highness." ”

"Can you give a portrait of the concubine to the palace?"

The father-in-law looked embarrassed, "Your Highness, this is ...... If it is known, I am afraid that it will set off another storm, or ...... Why don't Your Highness choose individual things to think about? ”

Nan Jinyan slowly lowered his gaze from the painting, and under the painting, there was a dressing table against the wall, with rouge gouache and some jewelry on it, these should all belong to the concubine, he walked over and stroked carefully.

There was a small drawer on the dressing table, Nan Jinyan opened it, and there was half a piece of white jade carved with koi in the hollow, but why was it only half?

Nan Jinyan secretly took this half of the white jade away, then picked up a carved hosta in the box, turned to his father-in-law and said, "This, the palace took away." ”

"Yes."

After putting away the hairpin, Nan Jinyan looked around carefully, in addition to his mother's things, there was a Bogu shelf on both sides against the wall, with many scrolls on it, and there was a wooden box on the shelf on both sides, which looked exactly the same.

Nan Jinyan was very curious, he walked over, pointed to the box and asked, "What's in here?" ”

"Your Highness, the box on the left is a talisman, and the box on the right is a city defense map, if Your Highness is curious, you might as well open it and take a look." The father-in-law returned the favor.

"No need."

Nan Jinyan stared at the portrait again and looked at it seriously, trying very hard to remember the appearance of the concubine, but she obviously never forgot it, but she looked as if she would forget it when she left this secret room.

Nan Xiao leaned on the bed, saw Nan Jinyan come out, and asked, "Has my wish been fulfilled?" ”

"Yes, the son of the emperor Xie Father is complete!"

The father-in-law then also came out of the secret room, he turned the vase lightly, and the secret door of the bookcase slowly closed by himself, and he couldn't see that there was a door here, let alone that there was something else behind the bookcase.

Nan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "In the past, I was too ridiculous, I am sorry for your mother, I shouldn't be strong, if I hadn't forcibly brought her, maybe, she wouldn't have died so early, but, if I hadn't brought her back in the first place, you wouldn't be standing here now, so, would you blame your father?" ”

Nan Jinyan looked at Nan Xiao who was leaning on the bed, his face was haggard, he had already lost weight, and it was no longer like when he was on the imperial expedition, he originally had a lot of doubts in his heart, but now they are all solved, and the most important thing is that he finally saw his mother.

"No, it won't. The sons and daughters don't dare, as the father said, without the mother concubine, there will be no me. Nan Jinyan lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to Nan Xiao and said, "Before, the son was disrespectful to his father, please punish him." ”

Nan Xiao motioned to his father-in-law to help Nan Jinyan up, and said calmly: "Have you seen everything inside?" Nan Jin didn't know what to say, and her father-in-law nodded on the side.

"You are now the crown prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty, you should put the community first, today out of this dormitory, you should never have been, about your mother's concubine, I have already told you, don't listen to it in the future."

"Yes! Sons obey! ”

"Let's go back."

After Nan Jinyan left, Nan Xiao asked the father-in-law: "What do you think of that letter?" ”

"This person must know what happened back then, but didn't His Majesty let the people who were related to Concubine Hui back then be martyred? Will...... Someone didn't die? What if this ......"

"Ahem...... Nan Xiao covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly twice, "Send someone to keep an eye on him, I must know the prince's every move, and in addition, send someone to find out the person who wrote the letter, I want to live." ”

"Huh!"

The imperial hospital brought the freshly boiled medicine to Nan Xiao, and the soup was boiled by the person designated by Nan Xiao, and then packed in a food box, and the outside of the box was sealed with a special note before it could be delivered, and the same was true for eating.

The father-in-law took it, opened the box, took out the medicine, and brought a silver spoon to gently turn the decoction to let it cool faster.

"A few days ago, you told me that someone sent something for the queen for winter, have you found out who it is?" Nan Xiao asked.

The father-in-law brought the medicine to Nan Xiao and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Oh?" A smile rose at the corner of Nan Xiao's mouth, "It seems that someone wants to give me a big gift......" He picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in one go.

Nan Jinyan walked out of Nan Xiao's dormitory, he took out the half of the white jade and pinched it in his hand and looked at it, slowly walked down the stone steps in front of the hall, turned around, and glanced back thoughtfully, he always felt as if something was missing, and what was the matter with this half of the jade pendant......

Su Roujia didn't know what was going on, Nan Jinyan entered the palace in such a hurry, it can be seen that he didn't come back for a long time, Su Roujia was restless, looking like she was not giving up, she was very worried about Nan Jinyan, and she was restless in the dormitory.

"Girl, Your Highness, Your Highness has come back and gone to the study...... "Mama ran out of breath.

Su Roujia lifted the skirt and rushed out directly, the hairpin on her head ran away, and Mama picked it up and chased after her, "Girl, slow down!" Girl......"

Su Roujia heard that the hairpin had fallen, and turned to look at Mama, but before Mama had time to say something, she saw Su Roujia and Nan Jinyan who was coming towards her bumped into each other.

"Ah......" Su Roujia covered her nose with one hand and rubbed her forehead with the other, "...... hiss"

Nan Jinyan's eyes kept staring at Su Roujia's somewhat loose and messy bun, she raised her hand to touch it, and then remembered that a hairpin fell off her head, and Mama stepped forward to put the hairpin in Su Roujia's hand.

Su Roujia casually put it on the bun, and Nan Jinyan's attention was all on the hairpin that she almost erected on her head, the tip of the hairpin was very pointed, as if a carved arrow had grown out of her head, and she looked at it with an ominous premonition.

Nan Jinyan saw that Su Roujia wanted to pounce, he flashed to the side, ready to hide behind his father-in-law, but she grabbed his belt and pulled him back and hugged him, "Your Highness, it's great that you're okay!" ”

The tip of the hairpin on Su Roujia's head pointed at Nan Jinyan's throat, Nan Jinyan hurriedly raised her head, lowered her eyes and stared at her hairpin, not daring to move.
