Chapter 445: Trapped in the Palace's Mansion (1)
"Huiyue, send someone to check on the assassin who set the fire." Moire then instructed, "I always feel that this matter is inseparable from Prince Yu. ”
"Yes, auntie, Huiyue will order it to go down." Huiyue paused, deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Could it be that my aunt suspects that the fire in Cangzhu Yuan is the ghost of His Royal Highness Prince Yu?" ”
"I'm just suspicious, after all, no one can blame the prince for arson without any evidence." Moire then ordered, "Huiyue, follow me to the front hall to meet Prince Yu for a while." ”
"Yes, Auntie." Huiyue had already stepped forward and followed the cloud pattern all the way in the direction of the front yard Wangyun Pavilion.
"Who is ......" Huiyue was suddenly hit by a pebble thrown out of nowhere, and she was already a little annoyed at the moment, "Who is hiding in the dark and sneaking around." ”
Hui Yue was angry, but the cloud pattern had already seen the clue, and hurriedly stopped Hui Yue in a low voice: "Don't shout. ”
After Moire stopped Huiyue, his eyes were already following the direction of the small pebble and saw a rockery not far away.
"You stay here, I'll go over and take a look." After giving instructions to Huiyue, Moire walked straight towards the rockery.
"Slave maid to my aunt to say goodbye." When Moire walked to the back of the rockery, there was already a little maid who said to Moire Fuli, "The slave maid was arranged by the imperial concubine Niangniang to serve in Prince Heng's mansion in the early years. ”
"Your identity is top secret, and according to the rules, you shouldn't have met me directly." Moire, who had always been cautious, had already sensed that the maid must have important information to say, and when he asked, "But what happened in the palace?" ”
"Auntie, there is indeed an accident in the palace, otherwise the slave and maid would not have risked revealing their identities to come to see you, aunt." The maid then said, "Auntie, the shadow guard who was monitoring the mansion actually discovered the whereabouts of Su Xin next to the second lady in the courtyard of the second entry?" ”
"Are you saying that you found the medical girl Su Xin next to the second lady in the palace?" Su Xin suddenly appeared in Prince Heng's mansion, and Yunwen was naturally shocked and frightened, so he asked carefully, "When did you find Su Xin, before or after Prince Yu entered the mansion?" ”
"It's about a cup of tea after His Royal Highness Prince Yu enters the mansion." The maid then said, "Our people followed Su Xin all the way, but she escaped, and then the prince's Cangzhuyuan also followed the water, and the slave maid was in a hurry to come to see Aunt Yunwen." ”
"Could it be that the fire in Cangzhuyuan was not set by Prince Yu, but by Su Xin's handiwork?" Moire couldn't help frowning and muttered, "What is Su Xin's intention to enter Prince Heng's Mansion at this time?" ”
"Auntie...... Aunt ......"
The maid's call interrupted Moire's train of thought, and she immediately ordered, "You go down first, be careful, don't reveal your identity." ”
"The slave knows." The maid had already disappeared in front of Yunwen as soon as she turned around after receiving Yunwen's order, and it was naturally not a weak little maid who could lie dormant beside Shangguan Qingqiao for a long time.
Huiyue watched as Yunwen walked out from behind the rockery, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Auntie, but what happened?" Huiyue also vaguely guessed that something big had probably happened in Prince Heng's mansion, otherwise the spies lurking in the shadows would not have taken the risk of coming directly to see Yunwen.
Moire had always relied on Huiyue, so he didn't intend to hide anything from her, and soon he was attached to her ear and told her the whole story of the matter.
"Auntie, why did that Su Xin appear in the prince's mansion......" Hui Yue glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one around, she lowered her voice again, "Auntie suspects that all this is a ...... set up by Prince Yu"
"You feel something is wrong, too." Seeing that Huiyue suddenly stopped, Moire guessed that she must have seen something wrong, so she broke through the mystery in one sentence, "The prince has no dealings with the second lady of the Zuo Xiangfu, if there is anything to do with the Zuo Xiangfu, it is a marriage with the eldest lady." Moire looked at Huiyue's frowning brows, and then said: "Some time ago, the prince's admiration for the eldest lady of the Zuo Xiangfu was already known to everyone in the Bai family, so since the prince loves Miss Da, how could he harbor the medical girl around the second lady in the palace." ”
"Auntie, Huiyue is dull, I hope my aunt can guide me."
"In the eyes of everyone in the imperial capital, Second Miss Ning has no contact with our prince, but in the eyes of insiders, they know that Second Miss has already secretly formed an alliance with the prince."
Everyone in the imperial capital, including the Bai family of Zuo Xiangfu and Ning Banghua, did not know that the prince Ning Zhixuan chose to form an alliance with was not Prince Yu Shangguan Hanyue, but Prince Heng Shangguan Qingyu.
"What does my aunt mean is that the mastermind behind this matter is the second lady of the Zuo Xiangfu, not His Royal Highness Prince Yu?" Huiyue followed and wondered, "Some time ago, the second young lady secretly visited Niangniang on the birthday banquet of the old man, how could she set up a clever plan to frame the prince in a blink of an eye?" What's more, didn't the second lady not only annoy the mother but also offend the prince by doing this? ”
"I think her purpose is to annoy the mother, and it is unknown whether she has offended the prince." Moire then looked in the direction of Cangzhuyuan and said, "The purpose of her doing this is to plant the seeds of doubt in Niangniang's heart. ”
Huiyue was already a little cloudy and foggy by the words of the cloud pattern, but she didn't dare to ask any more, but just asked, "I don't know if my aunt has thought of a way to deal with it." ”
"For now, I have to report everything that happened here to my mother truthfully." Moire Fu told Huiyue again, "Don't hide it in the slightest, don't try to hide something. ”
"Do you really want to tell the mother the truth about everything that happened here?" Huiyue won the appreciation of Moire, and had already seen Moire's affection for Shangguan Qingyu, so she would help Moire deliberately deceive the imperial concubine on weekdays.
"I don't have time to explain that much to you now." As he walked to the front yard, Moiwen warned Huiyue, "You have to remember every word I say now, and when the time comes, you must not hide anything when you reply to your mother." ”
"Huiyue understands." Huiyue hurriedly followed behind Cloud Tattoo and asked, "Auntie, where are you going?" ”
"If the prince wants to completely clear the suspicion, he must catch that plain heart." Yunwen instructed Huiyue Dao, "At any cost, you must catch Su Xin beside the second lady, don't hurt anyone, just capture it alive." ”
Hui Yue replied, "Yes, Hui Yue will give the order. ”
"Guard, my subordinates chased here, and the man disappeared without a trace." The shadow guard looked at the cold feelings that came over and said, "That assassin is not weak, and he can't alarm the cloud aunt outside, I'm afraid it's ......."
"Gather all the shadow guards." Leng Qing had already issued a strict order, "Even if it is a search of one temple after another, Su Xin must be found." At the end, he added, "Remember to catch it alive." ”
"Yes." The Shadow Guard replied.
Leng Qing suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Feng Chi?" ”
The shadow guard replied: "The Wind Commander happened to be resting today, and after he was on duty yesterday, his subordinates saw the Wind Commander leave the palace. ”
Feng Chi was indeed a retreat today, but he did not leave the palace, but hid in his room, and after seeing what happened outside, he took the opportunity to jump onto the beam.
Su Xin is now hiding in a well in Prince Heng's mansion, fortunately Ning Zhixuan taught Su Xin the method of turtle breath earlier, so she can hide in the well for a long time without showing her head.
"Auntie, our people have searched all over the palace, but they still can't find Su Xin's whereabouts." Huiyue reminded Yunwen Dao, "Auntie, our time is running out, every half an hour Niangniang will send someone to inquire about the situation in the palace, and now it is only a cup of tea before Niangniang sends someone to inquire, how does Auntie plan to reply to the visitor's question?" ”
Moire glanced at the sky that was close to noon, and then ordered: "If Niangniang sends someone to inquire in a while, she will answer that everything in the house is calm, and Niangniang is anxious, and when I catch Su Xin, I will personally go to Niangniang to ask for guilt." ”
Huiyue looked at Yunwen with some embarrassment and said: "Auntie, now the enemy is dark and I am clear, and after all, this is Prince Heng's mansion, our people can only search for Su Xin's whereabouts in secret, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find someone for a while." ”
"Huiyue, tell me, if you were hiding in this huge palace, where would you choose to hide?" Moire tried to find Su Xin's hiding place, "Although this palace is large, not everywhere is suitable for Tibetans. ”
"If Huiyue is hiding in this palace." Huiyue tried to analyze Su Xin's thoughts and said, "Naturally, I don't dare to hide in the room, after all, there are many people in the palace, and the news that Su Xin is hiding in the palace will leak out sooner or later, in case the news is spread to the ears of the emperor, it will be the crime of bullying the king, and the prince will not risk angering Tianyan to harbor Su Xin." ”
"You can't hide indoors, so you only have to hide outside." Huiyue continued to analyze, "Now all the rockeries, lotus ponds, and grasses in the palace have been checked by our people, and even Huiyue has sent people to find them on the roof, but there is not even a figure." ”
"It's not like we've overlooked some place where we can hide people." Yunwen looked around and said, "The outside of Prince Heng's mansion is already guarded by people, and people will definitely not be able to escape, how can a big living person disappear in the mansion out of thin air." ”
Huiyue's look at the moire was a little speechless: "Auntie......"
Moire was a little impatient and said, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Hui Yue said: "Although that Su Xin does not dare to hide in the inner room, there are many forbidden places in this Prince Heng, although outsiders do not know, but Prince Yu may not be completely unaware. ”
"Do you mean to suspect that Su Xin hid in Cangzhu Garden, or the Meditation Hall in the West Cross Courtyard?" Moire immediately rejected Huiyue's idea and said, "Those two realms are the forbidden places of the palace, Su Xin must not have the ability to enter, presumably people must be outside, under our noses." ”
