It turned out to be her, and she hid it really deep enough.

Today, Geng Hai and Geng Anhui made a fuss so excitedly, and even did not hesitate to ask the emperor to come out, so that Anping knew that there must be spies from the Geng family buried in the princess's mansion, otherwise Geng Hai would not be sure that Feng Yan was not in the mansion.

Therefore, as soon as the emperor left, Anping ordered the whole government to investigate thoroughly.

Since Feng Yan left Beijing, Anping has sealed the house, and the house is not allowed to go out if there is nothing to do, and the records of entering and leaving the house are not difficult to check, and it will not take long for this Zhou Mama to be pulled out.

This week's grandmother is the housekeeper of the outer courtyard who is in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, and she entered the princess's mansion before the palace change, and it has been seventeen or eighteen years, and she has also moved from a sprinkler to her current position step by step......

I didn't expect that.

An Ping didn't look at Mama Zhou, she sipped her tea with a faint expression, and under the half-drooping eyes, a sharp light flashed in her pupils.

This spy was buried so deeply, and now that it is ruined, I am afraid that Geng Guogong will also have a heartache.

One of the black-clothed secret guards clenched his fists and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the poison hidden in her teeth has been removed. ”

Between the words, Mama Zhou's face became even more ugly, sweat slid down from the corners of her forehead, her body almost didn't go limp, and her heart was extremely cold: It's over! It's all over! She hibernated for eighteen years, and finally she was ruined!

Feng Yan said with a smile: "Mama Zhou, do you have anything to say?" ”

One sentence made Mama Zhou's forehead and back sweat even more, and the middle coat on her body was almost soaked with sweat, as if the whole person was fished out of the water.

What's the matter, it's a dead end!

She has been lurking in this princess's mansion for many years, except for occasionally sending some small news to the princess of Weiguo over the years, she has not exposed herself, and naturally she has no chance to make any contributions, she can only wait in this princess's mansion day after day, tormenting, like other mediocre laymen.

It wasn't until a few days ago that there was a glimmer of hope in her life.

Wei Guogong quietly sent someone to ask about Feng Yan's whereabouts, and she vaguely knew that her opportunity had come.

If this time, she can make a great contribution to help defend the country, she can retire successfully, enjoy all the glory and wealth from now on, and she will finally have a chance to climb out of this humble quagmire!

This evening, as soon as she learned that the emperor and Wei Guogong had come to the outside of the mansion, she ran to the gate to check, thinking that this time Wei Guogong's plan was seamless, but she didn't expect that Feng Yan, who was supposed to be not in the princess's mansion, would appear like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

At that time, she expected that the situation would not be good......

Sure enough, after the emperor left, she had just packed her bags and went out of the room, when she saw two people waiting at the entrance of the courtyard calmly.

There was not a single descendant of the princess's mansion around, and everything was silent.

At that moment, Mama Zhou knew that it was all over, and the eldest princess really found her head!

I thought she could get out of this quagmire, but she didn't expect to fall into an even more desperate situation. Mama Zhou's eyes were gloomy, as if half of the three souls and seven spirits had been lost.

Seeing the change in Mama Zhou's expression was really exciting, An Ping hooked his lips slightly and glanced at Wen Wuchen.

Wen Wuchen immediately understood, they had been friends for more than ten years, and many things could no longer be understood by each other without words.

Wen Wuchen smiled, his eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Since Mama has nothing to say, why don't we just talk?" ”

"Slave maid...... I don't have much to say. Mama Zhou said the first sentence, and her voice was dry and rough like loess.

It's up to her to "say".

Feng Yan didn't speak, he drank tea by himself, and his black phoenix eyes were as bright as the sun.

If she finds out that her identity has been exposed, her first reaction is not to pack up her baggage and plan to escape, but to decisively take poison and commit suicide, then they really have nothing to do with her.

Now it's different!

Feng Yan took a sip of this year's Longjing new tea, thinking that he would have to send a few cans to Zhen Zhen when he turned around.

Wen Wuchen looked at Mama Zhou gently, "Mama Zhou, I heard that you spoke with a Yuzhou accent when you entered the mansion, and you have been in the mansion for eighteen years, and you have never left the mansion for more than half a day...... What about your family, are they still in Yuzhou? ”

Mama Zhou's pupils shrank, she was silent, her fists were clenched, and the green tendons on the back of her hands were slightly raised.

She was caught, but she was the only one who died, if she recruited and let Wei Guogong know, then her family would all have to bury her. She won't say anything.

Wen Wuchen looked at Mama Zhou quietly, and continued to ask: "There were a total of seven maids who entered the mansion with you back then, and some of the other six died of illness, some followed the horses to the Fengfu, and some did not return to the princess's mansion after getting married, only you are still here......"

Mama Zhou pursed her lips, lowered her head a little, and continued to be silent.

Wen Wuchen didn't want to hear any answers from her, and took in the subtle changes on her face.

Since Mama Zhou was brought here, she has said no more than ten words, but for Wen Wuchen, she has already "spoken" a lot.

Any person will react accordingly to what is happening in the outside world, especially when he hears something personally related, he will inevitably reveal his inner thoughts in some subtle expressions and limbs, nervousness, anger, excitement, sneering, trembling, sweating...... Some expressions and movements are even fleeting, but there are traces.

Wen Wuchen saw two pieces of information from the change in Mama Zhou's expression, one is that she has a family, and her family is in the hands of Wei Guogong; Second, there is more than one "left" in this princess's mansion, Mama Zhou.

In other words, there should be spies buried by Wei Guogong in the princess's mansion, maybe one person, maybe more.

Wen Wuchen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he suddenly said in a shocking voice: "As long as you recruit your accomplices, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess can try to rescue your family!" ”

His calm words are like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

Mama Zhou reacted greatly when she heard this, her eyes widened, and she looked at Wen Wuchen in disbelief, as if to say, how did he know?!

At this moment, she felt as if she was naked, and there was nothing to hide under Wen Wuchen's wise gaze.

Soon, she calmed down again, and said in her heart: Wen Wuchen is probably cheating on herself!

It's useless.

Mama Zhou gritted her teeth, raised her head, with a contemptuous expression, and said coldly: "You don't have to waste your time, even if I say it?" The princess's mansion is weak, what can she do?! Why harm others and yourself! ”

The tone and expression of her speech were completely different from the gentle and taïve words in her daily life, and there was a faint sharpness in her eyes, and the palace maid Yue behind An Ping looked silently, feeling as if she had never known Mama Zhou.

It was as if she had been covered with a layer of painted skin on her body before, and it was only at this moment that she finally tore it open and revealed her true colors.

Looking at Mama Zhou, who was full of anger, Wen Wuchen hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, waved her hand and said, "Take people down." ”

Mama Zhou was dumbfounded, Wen Wuchen didn't say a few words to her at all, why did she send her away?! Could it be that Wen Wuchen gave up? He just gave up so easily?!

Mama Zhou's face was shocked, and she looked at Wen Wuchen in a daze, her mouth opened and closed, and she had a vague sense of foreboding in her heart. Could it be that there was something in her words?

No, it won't!

She savored the words she had just spoken, confused, and felt as if her heart had pressed a boulder, and she couldn't breathe.

The two black-clothed secret guards grabbed Mama Zhou left and right, and immediately dragged the person down.

The hall was silent, the night was deeper, and the sound of the gong of the third watch was heard in the distance, "Bell!" Clang! Clang! ”

Wen Wuchen's slender fingers slowly rubbed on a blue and white porcelain teacup, and his elegant face showed a deep groan, and he turned to An Ping and said, "It seems that there are probably people buried by Geng Hai in many mansions in Beijing. ”

From Mama Zhou's last sentence just now, Wen Wuchen heard a deeper meaning, she said "harm others and yourself", that is to say, even if the "weak" princess mansion is useless to join forces with others, I am afraid that there are spies buried by Geng Hai in other mansions.

What's more......

"Geng Hai may have also raised private soldiers." Wen Wuchen speculated.

An Ping smiled, a cold glint flashed in the tall phoenix eyes at the end of his eyes, and said slowly: "However, Geng Hai has always been 'cautious' in doing things. ”

Feng Yan looked at Wen Wuchen, his phoenix eyes, which were almost exactly the same as An Ping, were also thoughtful, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he smiled silently.

Geng Hai had a private soldier, and the emperor might not have cared too much about it in the past, but now, this time is different......

Wen Wuchen continued: "The emperor is still enduring Geng Hai now, one is because of military power, and the other is for fame. ”

"The royal brother of this palace just doesn't want to bear the name of the bird's bow and hide." An Ping snorted disdainfully, "He's always pretended. ”

Wen Wuchen looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the tea soup, his deep eyes were bright and dark, and his thoughts were surging.

After a while, his eyes precipitated, and Yun said lightly: "This time, for us, it can be regarded as a blessing for Saion." ”

On the contrary, Geng Hai himself gave them the flaws.

It's also thanks to Ah Yan who came back at the right time, and it's also thanks to Duanmufei's cleverness, otherwise I'm afraid it will be a little tricky.

At this moment, Wen Wuchen and An Ping both thought about it for a while, and looked at Feng Yan together.

Thinking of Feng Yan's hard work in the past two months, An Ping was distressed, and said softly: "Ah Yan, you hurry back and rest, if there is anything, it will be the same if you discuss it tomorrow." ”

After Feng Yan saluted An Ping and Wen Wuchen, he walked away in good spirits, his steps were still so vigorous, and he didn't see a trace of fatigue.

However, in An Ping's eyes, he only felt more and more distressed, and sighed in a low voice like a mosquito: "This child is too bitter......"

As soon as the night breeze outside the window blew, it blew away An Ping's sigh.

An Ping's eyes were stunned as Feng Yan's upright back disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

When Feng Yan was six years old, she told him about his life experience, and she let him make his own choice, in fact, how could he have the right to choose?!

From that moment on, Ah Yan lost his childhood, was forced to grow up, forced to work hard, since he was a child, he worked harder than anyone else, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time he was almost practicing martial arts and reading, cold and summer, rain or shine.

Her Ah Yan is so caring, and her Ah Yan is the best!

The scenes of the past few years flashed quickly in front of An Ping's eyes, her face was full of emotion and relief, and her eyes were slightly trance.

She didn't notice that Wen Wuchen was looking at her quietly, his expression gentle and focused.

The night was deeper and thicker.

There seemed to be a faint sound of insects in the grass in the courtyard, mingled with the sound of the wind, and it continued all night......

Early the next morning, the court was in turmoil again.

The emperor, who was still in the retirement dynasty, suddenly announced several cabinet ministers and several other noble ministers to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

There is no impermeable wall in this capital, and the conflict that happened at the gate of the princess's mansion last night has been heard by many people at this moment, and everyone vaguely guessed the emperor's purpose for calling them at this time.

Sure enough—

"Duke Wei Guo didn't control the forbidden army well, so much so that the forbidden army almost collided with the eldest princess of Anping, so that I didn't have the shame to face the imperial sister."

"I thought that since Wei Guogong was busy with official business, it was inevitable that there would be some negligence, so it was better to let the officials help share the worries, and in the future, the selection and giving of the leaders of the forbidden army would be in charge of the officials. Other matters, such as military attachés' edicts, clearance and substitution, rations, equipment, boats and vehicles, and charcoal, were also transferred to the six ministries for joint handling. ”

"Geng Hai, you should also find time to rectify the forbidden army, don't go wrong in the future. What do you think? ”

The emperor sat on the throne of the main hall, looking down at the ministers from above, his eyes fell on Geng Hai, who was standing at the front of the ministers, and asked in a light tone.

The emperor seemed to be inquiring, but his expression was extremely cold, and he obviously did not accept any negative answer at all.

Knowing that the emperor was like Geng Hai, his heart was immediately clear.

The emperor is using the topic to play!

He is in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and he is in charge of the power of the world's soldiers and horses, the emperor has long been jealous of himself, and this time he "offended" the eldest princess of Anping is just an excuse, and it is true that the emperor wants to take this opportunity to weaken himself.

But yesterday's incident, the emperor was also present, he couldn't rely on it, if he didn't admit it, his son would inevitably be accused of sending out the forbidden army without authorization, hey, it's only to blame for not catching Anping's handle, otherwise why wouldn't it be like this!

Geng Hai's cheeks twitched, and the muscles of his whole body tensed, as if the bowstring that was too full would break if it was pulled with a little more force.

The hall was silent, and the other courtiers stood silently aside.

This is a game between the emperor and Wei Guogong, they outsiders don't need to do much, so as not to be thankless, but this military department seems to be profitable.

Many people secretly glanced at the military department Shangshu, and the gray-haired military department Shangshu stood quietly without squinting, looking unfathomable.

The emperor did not urge Geng Hai, and casually picked up the tea cup sent by the waiter, and in the hall, there was only the sound of the tea lid gently plucking the rim of the cup.

And again, and again...... It seems like an invisible urging.

Geng Hai lowered his body a little, and promised respectfully: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Three words almost made him use up all his strength.

Seeing Geng Hai retreat, the corner of the emperor's mouth on the throne hooked a smug smile, full of spirit.

He took a slow sip of hot tea, then casually handed the teacup, and the waiter immediately took it.

"Geng Hai, although you have to investigate the matter of your own edict, don't work too hard." The emperor pretended to say to Geng Hai, and the smile on his face deepened.

The surrounding air seemed to be relaxed, but among the people present, including Duanmu Xian, their bodies were still tense, and their hearts hung in the air.

Duanmuxian has been in the court for decades, experienced three generations of emperors, and watched the constant turmoil in the court, the ebb and flow, and the wind and rain he has experienced a lot.

His heart is like a mirror.

Some things are different, and the relationship between the emperor and Geng Hai is no longer what it used to be.

Once, that is, a few years after the emperor ascended the throne, he relied on Geng Hai's military power to control the government with the momentum of killing and decisiveness, and the monarch and ministers were intimate.

At that time, the emperor often said that only Geng Hai knew him!

At that time, the emperor agreed to Geng Hai's requests without saying a word.

At that time, the emperor would never denounce Geng Hai in public and seize Geng Hai's power......

Duanmu Xian glanced at the emperor without a trace, and then heard the emperor continue with a smile: "I can also ask Ah Yin to help you." ”

It would be good if Cen Yin didn't mess with him! The corners of Geng Hai's mouth twitched, his face became even more ugly, and he hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, this matter is measured, so I won't bother Lord Cen anymore." After all, Lord Cen is busy! His voice was stiff and dry.

Geng Hai said, quickly glanced at Cen Yin, who was standing beside the emperor, and then withdrew his gaze, his eyes gloomy and deep.

Watching the back and forth between the monarchs and ministers, Duanmu Xian sighed faintly in his heart.

In this court, who doesn't know that Geng Hai and Cen Yin are incompatible, and the emperor actually proposed to let Cen Yin help Geng Hai, which is equivalent to slapping Geng Hai in the face in public. The rift between the monarch and the minister is already irreparable.

The emperor looked at Geng Hai quietly for a moment, did not insist, and said with a smile: "Geng Hai, then this matter will be investigated by you." ”

At this moment, the emperor and Geng Hai seem to be talking and laughing on the surface, but in fact, sparks are bursting, and there is already a posture between the two of them that either you die or I live.

The real thing is not human.

Humanity: The emperor is ruthless.

This is an eternal truth.

Duanmu Xian thought with embarrassment in his heart, and his mood became more and more complicated.

"The minister will live up to the grace of God." Geng Hai made a long bow to the respectful emperor, "The minister will retire." ”

The Emperor waved his hand, signaling him to be casual.

Geng Hai turned around and retreated.

The moment he turned around, his eyes immediately changed, and his originally respectful eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was a thick hatred in them.

He half-lowered his eyes, and immediately hid the hatred in his eyes.

However, Duanmu Xian on the side had already taken the subtle change in expression on Geng Hai's face into his eyes.

Geng Hai strode away.

Duanmu Xian quietly withdrew his gaze from Geng Hai's back, his expression was faint, but his heart was undulating.

At this moment, Duanmu Xian can confirm that it no longer matters whether Geng Hai tampered with the edict, the important thing is that the emperor believes that it is him.

Thinking that Cheng Hanlin, who was planning to edict, and Cheng University, who was planning to be edicted, were both in the prison of Dongchang at the moment, Duanmuxian couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat with his cuffs, and sighed secretly: It's really dangerous!

Duanmuxian once again felt a sense of emotion and happiness for the rest of his life.

After Geng Hai left the Heart Nourishing Palace, he went straight out of the palace, today's weather is extremely bright, the sun is bright and mild, but it can't warm Geng Hai's cold heart.

He had been extremely disappointed in the Emperor!

After Geng Hai left the palace, he did not go home, but went to the Yunting Restaurant two streets away, and came to a private seat in the depths of the corridor on the second floor.

Geng Anhao was sitting by the window facing the street waiting for Geng Hai, "Father." He stood up and gave Geng Hai an inquiring look.

Geng Hai made a gesture and motioned for his son to sit down, and then talked about what had just happened in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Geng Anhao personally poured tea for Geng Hai, and the sound of pouring tea echoed in the seat, Geng Anhao's face became more and more ugly with Geng Hai's voice, and sent the tea to Geng Hai.

Geng Hai's right hand on the table was clenched into a fist, and finally said fiercely: "An Hao, I think the emperor is like this...... It's going to kill our Geng family. ”

Maybe there is Cen Yin's provocation in this, but how many percent of it is because the emperor took advantage of the trend? !

It's only been a few years, and the emperor has completely ignored the old feelings.

That's it...... The Yang family has fallen, and it is himself and Wei Yongxin who know those old things back then.

Geng Hai's eyes deepened.

Geng Anhao cleared his throat and said in a solemn tone: "Father, Mama Zhou from the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion can't be contacted, I think she has been discovered by the Eldest Princess Anping." ”

As he spoke, he sighed, "It's a shame that a nail that has been buried for so long!" ”

The family of these nails is in Geng Hai's hands, so Geng Hai and Geng Anhao are not worried that Mama Zhou will leak secrets.

Geng Hai answered, then slowly picked up the teacup, brought it to his lips, took two sips of tea, and said in a deep voice: "Although we lost a spy, it is not for nothing. ”

"Father, that's what you said." After thinking about it for a while, Geng Anhui understood what his father meant, and said, "Now we can at least be sure that Feng Yan was indeed not in the capital some time ago, otherwise, the eldest princess of Anping would not have thought of the nails in the princess's mansion so quickly and disposed of people." ”

If Feng Yan hadn't been in the capital without permission, An Ping and Feng Yan would have only thought that their Geng family was taking the opportunity to make trouble, and would not have thought that there were nails in the princess's mansion.

Father and son exchanged an empathetic look.

Geng Hai frowned and pondered, and the seat was quiet, only the noise on the street outside the window came not near or far, and the sounds of those vendors, horses' hooves, cars, passers-by, etc., were mixed together, noisy and noisy.

"An Hao," Geng Hai said in a deep voice, "I am now more and more sure that Cen Yin is the remnant of the Zhenbei Palace. ”

Geng Hai continued in an orderly manner: "Otherwise, yesterday, at the gate of the princess's mansion, why did he risk making the emperor unhappy and prevent you from entering the princess's mansion. ”

Geng Anhao lowered his eyes slightly, recalling the situation at that time.

"I'm eight or nine points sure that Cen Yin and Anping must have colluded...... Therefore, Cen Yin will do his tricks in the emperor's guilty edict, wanting the emperor to admit to the world that he killed his brother and seized the throne. ”

As he spoke, Geng Hai's expression became sharper and sharper, as if a famous knife that had been sealed for many years was unsheathed again, with a terrifying edge.

At this moment, it seems that the princess's mansion was originally out of options, although it was unsuccessful, they unexpectedly found a clear way.

Geng Hai picked up the teacup again and said in his heart: It seems that I have to visit Prince Ashina, the patriarch of the Huaqu tribe again...... Also, we have to find out where Feng Yan has gone these days.

Seeing Geng Hai's brows stretched slightly, Geng Anhao said tentatively: "...... about joining forces with Duanmu Shousuke"

"An Hao, don't think about it." The teacup that Geng Haicai picked up snapped back again, and the impact sound was extremely loud in the elegant seat, "Now that the emperor's attitude towards our Geng family is there, Duanmuxian, the old fox, can naturally see it, and it is impossible to accept being tied to our Geng family." ”

"......" Geng Anhao moved his eyebrows thoughtfully, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.

At this time, there was a sound of messy footsteps in the corridor outside the private seat, accompanied by Xiao Er's courteous voice: "This master, please come here." ”

Geng Hai looked in the direction of the door, and said at the same time, "An Hao, I specially made an appointment with your Uncle Yuan today. ”

At the same time as the words fell, I heard a male voice full of energy: "Xiao Er, you can step down." Root...... I know that there is Qinglan in front of me. The man casually dismissed Xiao Er.

Geng Anhao also heard the owner of the voice, and his face was slightly condensed.

Geng Hai raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder, and said slowly: "An Hao, if it really comes to the point of last resort, we have to make plans in advance." His tone was very solemn, and the tone was even more meaningful.

"......" Geng Anhao's lips moved, silent, for the first time, he had a sense of crisis that their Geng family was in turmoil at the moment, and his heart was heavy.

The footsteps of the man outside called Jiao Jian were getting closer and clearer, and each time it hit Geng Anhao's heart like a hammer, making him feel numb.

Geng An stood up in a hurry, strode to the door, and opened the door of the private seat himself.

------Off topic------

Good morning! If you receive the keychain, please remember to tear off the film on the front, otherwise it will not look good. The film was so tightly attached that it looked like it didn't have it.
