Xia Xin (4)
After Xuan Jinhuan came out of the Zhu family, she was going to go back to Yunyan Pavilion directly, but on the way, she accidentally caught a glimpse of someone.
A sneaky woman in a black cloak walked into an alley looking around, and in doing so, she was bound to do something unseemly. The wind blew the corner of her cloak, and the clothes she wore in it were those of a golden-edged female officer; It's just that the female officials in the palace sneakily appear here, which is probably not a good thing.
Feeling suspicious, Xuan Jinhuan followed her silently, and finally saw her enter a very secluded house.
The woman knocked on the door twice, and a grim-faced man came out and opened the door to welcome her in.
Xuan Jinhuan jumped on the roof lightly and got close to eavesdropping, and vaguely heard the voices of a man and a woman talking.
"This thousand taels of silver is a little bit of our wife's heart, and there will be a heavy reward after the deed." The woman said.
"I have long heard that Mrs. Chu is a favorite concubine, and she is the most favored by the emperor, and she is really generous." The man sighed.
The woman's tone seemed to be a little displeased: "This matter is very important to my wife, if it fails, don't think about getting mixed up in the royal capital." โ
The man obviously didn't think so, and only said casually: "It's just a little woman who has no power to restrain the chicken." โ
After listening to their endless conversation, the news that Xuan Jinhuan could get was that the female official was Mrs. Chu's person, and Mrs. Chu used a lot of money to bribe the man to do something, and their target was a woman.
Women's ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Things have always been strange in the royal capital, and the tone of these two people is too much like buying murder.
It's just that who is the person Mrs. Chu wants to kill? Xuan Jinhuan suddenly boldly imagined whether it would be Xia Xin.
She wanted to listen carefully, but the two of them in the room had already finished talking, and the man sent the female officer out again.
Xuan Jinhuan thought, when he went back, he would ask someone to check this strange thing and see what was hidden in this gourd.
However, as soon as I returned to Yunyan Pavilion, I heard that someone from Xisi was coming; When Xuan Jinhuan entered, he saw Yan Qi drinking tea very slowly, looking very leisurely.
"Senior Brother Yan?" Xuan Jinhuan was surprised, shouldn't Yan Qi be recuperating in Yong'an at this time? Why did you suddenly run to the royal capital? Does Uncle Song know!
"Senior Sister Xuan, I'm bothered." Yan Qi said peacefully.
"Senior Brother Yan's injuries are getting better?" Xuan Jinhuan sat down opposite Yan Qi and asked with concern.
Yan Qi stretched out his hand to cover his injured arm, and said with a smile: "Master said that as long as you don't make a move, it's no big deal." โ
Xuan Jinhuan smiled and nodded when he heard this: "That's fine." โ
Yan Qi said again: "Our West Division, as well as the North Division, will stay in Yong'an for a while after the winter festival." โ
The implicit meaning of these words is also obvious, that is, the Yong'an Secret Guard, which has been separated since twenty years ago, may soon return.
"The two uncles have been away for many years, and it is good to take advantage of this year's winter festival in Yong'an." Xuan Jinhuan pondered for a moment and said.
"After all, they are all Yong'an secret guards, and there is really no need to distinguish them so clearly at this time." Yan Qi said, but his expression gradually became serious, "There is one thing, Uncle Xuan shouldn't have told you." The four masters all received a letter in which they said something about Princess Yuanhua. โ
When he heard Princess Yuanhua, Xuan Jinhuan's face changed: "Why does this involve Princess Yuanhua again?" โ
Yan Qi shook his head and only said: "The other party claims to know that the person who went to Beihu with his relatives is not the real Princess Yuanhua, and the real Princess Yuanhua is still in the royal capital." But beyond that, there are no more superfluous words in the letter. โ
This is actually a threat letter at all!
The princess of Heqin back then was not the real princess of Yuanhua, how did the other party know this secret? But for Xuan Jinhuan, this is the handle, if the other party directly exposes this secret, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Even if there were no other words in that letter, it would be a clear threat.
It's just that there are not many people who know that Princess Heqin has been transferred in Bac Ninh, and even fewer people have participated in this plan.
Some things are extremely scary to think about, like having a pair of eyes behind their every move from beginning to end, and everything they do is watched by those eyes.
But after calming down, Xuan Jinhuan felt that the situation was not so unbearable.
If it weren't for those people taking the initiative to attack, the Yong'an Secret Guard wouldn't have noticed the existence of this group of people at all. Under this premise, there are only two possibilities, either the other party is really powerful and even more powerful than the far-reaching Yongan Secret Guard in the Central Plains, or the goal of that group of people at the beginning has nothing to do with the Yongan Secret Guard.
It's just that now they are facing an enemy hidden in the dark, so they have to be extra careful.
"Uncle Xuan was afraid that you would know that this matter would affect your next actions, so he didn't tell you. But my master, he was a little worried that it would be self-defeating, so let me tell you anyway. Yan Qi explained.
"So, do you know who sent the letter? Isn't it still the same group of people from the Sixteen Kingdoms of Dongjun? Xuan Jinhuan asked.
"The person who delivered the letter has died violently, and there is no way to trace the person behind it." Yan Qi said helplessly.
Then this is another headless public case, but there have been too many such things recently!
Yan Qi reminded her: "In short, no matter what, you all have to be careful; Anyone who can deliver the letter to the Thousand Peaks will not be so simple. โ
Xuan Jinhuan is naturally convinced of this statement, but the problem now is that she doesn't know what else she can do.
The other party knew the biggest secret of Princess Yuanhua, which was equivalent to being hung by a knife on top of her head.
"Or you send the real Princess Yuanhua away and hide it, so that even if this secret is poked out one day, there will be no evidence at all. Even if the emperor knew about this kind of thing, it would be impossible for him to ask Beihu to send Princess Heqin back to distinguish the authenticity, so no one would know the authenticity of the princess. Yan Qi came up with an idea.
In fact, Yan Qi originally wanted to say that he would get rid of the real Princess Yuanhua without doing anything, so the friendly Princess Yuanhua could only become true even if it was fake, but thinking that now Xuan Jinhuan and Xie Lan are doing things, and Princess Yuanhua Xie Zerong is Xie Lan's sister; Therefore, Yan Qi did not suggest this, but proposed to let them send Xie Zerong away.
Xuan Jinhuan felt that it made sense, but she had to tell Xie Lan this kind of thing first, and whether Xie Zerong would stay or not could only be decided by Xie Lan.
It's just that this matter must be solved as quickly as possible, otherwise it will also be endless.
