Dongjun (1)
In order to hide people's eyes, Xuan Jinhuan and the general Zhu Huanqi originally decided to meet at the Sequoia Tower three days later, and had to cancel it, and instead exchanged letters between the two sides.
Yi Yu was very suspicious that Xuan Jinhuan had encountered something in Hongfu Temple, in short, she felt strange when she came back from Hongfu Temple.
The letter from Yong'an said that the owner of the East Division specially sent another person to the royal capital to help Xuan Jinhuan, and it would be about two days before he arrived.
Xuan Jinhuan knew that there were many powerful people around his stepmother, but he really couldn't figure out who his stepmother would let come to the royal capital; However, since it was from Yong'an, Yunyan Pavilion still prepared well.
It's just that the person who came first that day was not from Yong'an, but Xie Lan, who was already waiting for Xuan Jinhuan.
It was rare to see Xie Lan coming, but Xuan Jinhuan's smile was really a little twisted, but he poured tea for Xie Lan as before, and then sat down opposite him: "His Royal Highness is coming, Jin Huan has not been able to greet him from afar, and it is really unceremonious." ”
Xie Lan's expression seemed a little unnatural: "It's nothing." It's just that Lan didn't understand something, so she came to ask Miss Xuan for advice. ”
"Second Highness, please speak, Jin Huan must know everything." Xuan Jinhuan smiled happily.
"There are rumors outside that my mother died in childbirth fifteen years ago, which is really a man-made disaster." Xie Lan looked at her very seriously.
"Who are you saying this?" Unexpectedly, Xie Lan actually said this, Xuan Jinhuan's face became ugly; Yun Yan Pavilion here has just found out a little eyebrows, and immediately someone said that Xie Lan listened, what is this matter!
Xie Lan was silent for a long time before he said, "The people in my house spread it." ”
Xuan Jinhuan secretly wrote it down, and planned to investigate it after Xie Lan left.
Regarding the murder of Empress Xuan back then, because the stakes were very high, Xuan Jinhuan's original intention was not to let Xie Lan know so early, and the evidence that Yunyan Pavilion had now was only the confession of the doctor, which was not enough to explain anything.
After thinking about it carefully, she asked Xie Lan: "If Empress Xuan's death is indeed a plan for others, what should Your Highness do?" ”
Xie Lan said without hesitation: "If the mother is harmed by others, but the son is indifferent, then he is ashamed of being the son of man." Naturally, it is to avenge the queen mother. ”
Xuan Jinhuan sighed in his heart, and asked again: "Then if that person is in a high position, you can't move him at all?" ”
"High authority?" Xie Lan frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something, "Miss Xuan, do you know anything?" Not only do you know that my mother was killed, but you also know who killed my mother. Right? Otherwise, Xuan Jinhuan would not ask him such a question.
"Because of an opportunity, now Yunyan Pavilion is indeed investigating the death of Empress Xuan fifteen years ago. But because of the lapse of many years, we have not found any direct evidence so far. So please give us some time, but until then, Your Highness should not believe any rumors outside. At this time, even if His Highness hears something, I am afraid it will be difficult to tell whether it is the truth, or whether someone deliberately said it and His Highness listened. Xuan Jinhuan tried her best to calm down and explained her thoughts to Xie Lan in an orderly manner.
Xie Lan thought about it, and seemed to feel that this statement was acceptable to him, so he nodded: "Thank you, Miss Xuan." Lan listened to Miss Xuan; I only hope that Miss Xuan can inform Yu Lan as soon as possible after finding out the truth. ”
Xuan Jinhuan responded: "Second Highness, rest assured, Jinhuan understands." ”
This can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing Xie Lan, and Xuan Jinhuan only feels more and more uneasy; No one has mentioned this in the past fifteen years, and now it is clear that someone did it on purpose, and it is likely that this situation was committed by a traitor. Last time, Zhu Yunqing said that there was a traitor in the palace, and now it seems that it is not only the nails in the palace that have problems.
After talking about Xuanhou, Xie Lan mentioned another matter: "Recently, the sixteen counties of Dongjun are not very stable, and my father summoned me and asked me to go to the sixteen countries of Dongjun to pacify. ”
"This is not the first time that His Royal Highness has led troops into battle, and I believe that His Highness will definitely return victorious." Xuan Jinhuan said.
"My father said that it was Xia Xiang who strongly recommended him to let me go to quell the rebellion. But General Jinning asked me to push it off, saying that I was afraid that the trip would not be good. Xie Lan did not hide it, and directly told Xuan Jin Huanhuan what Jin Ning said to him, and said, "I have always believed in General Jin Ning, but Xia Xiang recommended me; I just don't know. ”
Xuan Jinhuan understood the meaning.
She had always known that Xia Lan had bad intentions towards Xie Lan, and if Xie Lan had an accident in Dongjun, it would be as Xia Dan's wish.
But now that Xie Lan will say this, he must have doubts about Xia Xiang; But because of Xia Xin, Xie Lan's suspicion of Xia Xiang is also limited, because no one will think that the prospective father-in-law is planning to harm the future uncle, not to mention that Xia Xin is still Xia Xin's only daughter.
But since the emperor has specified that Xie Lan will go to Dongjun to quell the rebellion, now it is actually a situation where he knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the tigers.
As for what danger Xie Lan would encounter in Dongjun, everything was unknown now.
The most terrible thing in this world has always been not the enemy, but the ill-intentioned people around him.
But Xuan Jinhuan couldn't persuade Xie Lan not to go, if someone really wanted to attack Xie Lan, it wouldn't make any difference whether it was in Dongjun or Wangdu. What's more, Xuan Jinhuan knew that the emperor might be the instigator of the murder of Empress Xuan, if the emperor was afraid of Xie Lan and also wanted to find an excuse to belittle Xie Lan, this was a good opportunity.
"Xia Xiang and General Jin both have their intentions, but in Jin Huan's humble opinion, I am afraid that in His Majesty's heart, this rebellion is also unique to His Highness. There is only one thing, and I ask His Highness for permission. Xuan Jinhuan thought quickly in his heart, and he had already come up with a countermeasure.
Xie Lan hurriedly said: "Miss Xuan is planning for me, as long as you say it, I will agree." ”
Xuan Jinhuan asked Xie Lan to wait here for a while, she went outside to talk to Yi Yu for a while, and then brought a tall and mighty man in: "Second Highness, this is Xu Le, one of the directors of our Yunyan Pavilion. I hope that His Royal Highness can bring Director Xu as a personal guard; Director Xu is strong in martial arts and good at using drugs, if anything happens, I can rest assured that he is there. ”
Director Xu arched his hand towards Xie Lan and did not speak.
"Thank you, Miss Xuan." Xie Lan seemed to be a little hesitant, but she still accepted Xuan Jinhuan's arrangement, and couldn't help but ask, "What does Miss Xuan mean that someone might harm me over there in Dongjun?" ”
It's hard to say this kind of thing, so Xuan Jinhuan smiled and said: "It's just just in case, after all, the world is dangerous and life and death are impermanent." If you have a good one, how can I explain it to my stepmother? For other things, when His Royal Highness returns triumphantly, Jin Huan will explain it to His Royal Highness one by one. ”
Xie Lan listened and thanked again: "Then thank you Miss Xuan." After that, he said to Supervisor Xu, "There is Supervisor Lao Xu." ”
Director Xu's face did not change: "Your Royal Highness is polite, Xu is acting on orders." ”
