Chapter 558 Consensus
Seeing that Ba Yuhuan was so stubborn, Murong Shuang looked at the jade pendant she handed over, and hesitated for a while whether to take it. If Ba Yuwei can be used by them, it will definitely go more smoothly to help investigate this matter, but this is indeed a dangerous step.
"Princess, it's not that we don't want to tell you the truth, but that there must be a price to pay for knowing the truth. Are you sure you have to know? If I really say it, we're in the same boat. ”
Murong Shuang frowned, if this matter was placed in normal times, it would definitely have to be discussed with Ba Di Ting, but just now Ba Yu Huang drove away Ba Di Ting so decisively, Murong Shuang naturally could only make up his own mind.
But Ba Yuhuan had already made up her mind, and stubbornly stuffed the jade pendant directly into Murong Shuang's hand, and her tone became more and more firm.
"That's nature, this jade pendant is the amulet that my mother asked for me when I was full moon, and it has protected me for so many years, and it is one of my most important things. Now let it bear witness to my determination to ally with you, and swear by this amulet, that I will never frame you, let alone betray all my promises. ”
Seeing the persistence in the little princess's eyes, Feng Yuntong was slightly shaken, and she was even more curious about Murong Shuang's current choice. And Murong Shuang held those talismans of hers, and she had a lot of thoughts for a while.
When he returned to Tanglin from the Heavenly Wolf Country, in order to investigate the previous case, along the way, Murong Shuang originally thought that there were many difficulties, but he could always solve them, I don't know if there is God's favor? Now looking at the jade pendant that Ba Yuhuan handed to her, she knew that this was another shortcut.
"Princess, I believe in you, not because I let my guard down against you, but because I have nothing left to lose. This investigation of the Mu family's unjust case back then was a desperate gamble, I hope you can know that in fact, I can't repay you anything, nor can I repay Concubine Hui Niangniang. ”
Murong Shuang sighed lightly, of course she wanted to use Ba Yuhuan's identity to act, after all, now in this palace, even if Ba Di heard that he was the second highness, after all, he could not be taken seriously by the Eastern Emperor, and his frequent actions would be suspected. If there is Ba Yu's people to help, it must be able to cover the ears and eyes of the Eastern Emperor.
But as she said, now she can't do anything, although she knows that the friendship between her aunt and Concubine Hui back then is indeed sincere, but now that her aunt is trapped in the Liuyu Building, she really can't do anything for Concubine Hui.
When Ba Yushuang heard Murong Shuang say this, her face showed a happy expression, she knew that Murong Shuang was relieved now, and it was not far from her really agreeing.
"Sister Murong, what are you talking about, even if it's just for the sake of my mother's thoughts, I want to cooperate with you. What I want, what I ask, is naturally not going to embarrass you, but I just don't want to be trapped in this golden cage anymore and slaughtered by others. ”
Seeing that Ba Yuwei could see through it, Feng Yuntong was now like an outsider, and she also wanted to persuade Murong Shuang to say a few words, but she was afraid that she would embarrass herself too much, but she didn't know what to do.
"We understand what the princess wants, and if we can help her, we will do our best. And now you need someone to help you get to the deepest reaches of the news without anyone noticing, and there is no one more suitable than a princess. ”
It wasn't until he heard Feng Yuntong persuade him that Murong Shuang really made up his mind and nodded. Seeing that today's incident had dragged on for a long time, the result was satisfactory in the end, so she clapped her hands excitedly.
"Then I'll assume that you agree? If there is anything you need my help with in the future, you must say it directly, and you are welcome. On my father's side, if he brings up a horse or something, he must ask my second brother to help me block it back, as for the rest, this princess has her own decision. ”
It can be seen that the little princess has already thought about it in her heart, Feng Yuntong and Murong Shuang are not easy to ask to the end, and now that they have been talking for most of the day, the two of them are already physically and mentally exhausted.
Ba Yuqi naturally has the means, and from the second day, he quarreled with the Eastern Emperor that he wanted to expand his knowledge, and he was immersed in the library all day long. In this way, it will be more convenient for Murong Shuang and others to enter and consult at will.
Because of Ba Yu's reason, the library pavilion is not a forbidden place, and if you are attentive to the information you want, you can naturally find it.
"What you mentioned, Chu Xuanming's mother now, I have a slight impression. It's not that I've seen it, it's that I seem to have seen her name in the royal papers. It's just that she seems to have been in poor health after giving birth to Chu Xuanming, and she died of illness in the next four or five years, and it is rumored that the relationship between the princess and the old King Chu is not very good. ”
Ba Yuhuan now took out a dossier, and said this before she opened it, Murong Shuang looked back and remembered that she had mentioned the matter of Ghost Yang to her today, presumably she had remembered it in her heart, and she should have asked Concubine Hui.
"I can clearly perceive that Chu Xuanming is hostile to Master, but I have never figured out where this hostility comes from. When you say this today, I suddenly wondered, could it be that the big reason why he hates Master so much is because of his deceased mother? ”
Feng Yuntong now emerged from another pile of files, because the pile she was looking for had not been set foot in for a long time, and it was full of dust, and now Feng Yuntong's gray face looked particularly funny.
Murong Shuang didn't have time to answer, so he was amused by Feng Yuntong's appearance, Feng Yuntong wiped the dust on his nose in embarrassment, and deliberately repeated it again with a serious face.
"I'm down to business, don't laugh. I think my guess is also well-founded, because I seem to have heard him say that Master owes someone, and he gritted his teeth when he said it. If his relationship with the old King of Chu is not good, then the person he calls should not be the old King of Chu. ”
Feng Yuntong analyzed it seriously, Murong Shuang looked up at her thoughtfully when she heard this, even if she didn't have much contact with Chu Xuanming, but because of her tacit understanding with Feng Yuntong, she immediately knew what Feng Yuntong meant.
"Do you mean to say that Aunt Xingxu doesn't know anyone from the King of Chu's lineage, but she knows Shan Wanzhi? It's also entirely possible, but Shan Wanzhi fell ill after her body was empty because she gave birth to him, what does this have to do with her aunt? There are some feelings that are not in touch. ”
Although Feng Yuntong's guess was felt by Murong Shuang to be reasonable, it was indeed a bit far-fetched to calm down and analyze it. Feng Yuntong looked at it and felt that what he said was a little untenable, and stuck out his tongue, all of which he made up at will.
In the past few days, since he talked to Ba Yuyun, Feng Yuntong has probably said all the important things he had in the Chu Wang's Mansion before, and several people were particularly surprised after hearing what Chu Xuanming did to Feng Yuntong, especially Ba Yuyan.
Judging from Ba Yuyan's exclamatory reaction, Feng Yuntong knew that Chu Xuanming's acting was too successful. Presumably, many outsiders think that he is really sincere to himself, but when he heard that the other party was just using himself as a chess piece, even Ba Yuhuan was upset for himself.
Now that Feng Yuntong is talking about Chu Xuanming, Ba Yuhuan can also understand her state of mind, but before Ba Yuhuan can say anything, she saw her personal palace maid Cui'er running in anxiously on weekdays.
"Princess, His Royal Highness the King of Chu entered the palace today, I don't know for what reason, I came directly to the Liuli Palace, and now I am already waiting."
After hearing this, Chu Xuanming could directly enter the harem without hesitation, Feng Yuntong and Murong Shuang were a little puzzled, and Ba Yuming frowned even more dissatisfied.
Although this Chu Xuanming is quite favored by the Eastern Emperor on weekdays, and it is not once or twice that he enters and leaves the harem as if he is his own backyard, but now that he is so arrogant, Ba Yuwei is naturally unhappy.
"What did he come to me for, did he go to his father or second brother before entering the palace?"
Although he had already guessed that Chu Xuanming was coming now, I am afraid that there was a chance that he would come for Feng Yuntong, but Ba Yuming was still a little unhappy to see him.
Hearing the princess ask this, Cui'er nodded hurriedly, seeing that everyone already knew Chu Xuanming's intentions, Feng Yuntong knew that Chu Xuanming must have come to make a show again, and even others could see his intentions.
"No, what if you go with him now and go back and be embarrassed by him? I thought he was really good to you, but now that I see it, he's just doing it to your face. Since he has left you in the princess's glass palace, does he want to make a big fuss about the glass palace? ”
After all, Ba Yuwei is usually favored by the Eastern Emperor, and now she doesn't care about a Chu Xuanming at all. But Feng Yuntong knew that Chu Xuanming was a madman, and there was nothing he couldn't do.
What's more, what they don't understand, including Ba Yuyan, is that they don't know why the Eastern Emperor is so presumptuous to Chu Xuanming. If he really did something to make trouble in the Liuli Palace, it was not impossible for Feng Yuntong to think about it.
What's more, now Murong Shuang and Feng Yuntong, even in this harem, still want to act as low-key as possible, a big reason for the alliance with Ba Yushuang before is because Ba Yushuang is too eye-catching, but it can make Feng Yuntong and Murong Shuang act behind her unnoticed.
So now as soon as Feng Yuntong heard Ba Yuyan say this, he quickly stood up and patted the dust off his body, shook his head and said: "Princess, don't be like this, now is not a good time to provoke Chu Xuanming, what I told you before, I have to ask you to investigate more later." ”
Seeing Feng Yuntong's serious face, Ba Yuwei also knew what she was talking about. What kind of role Chu Xuanming plays in this matter is really suspicious, and he will naturally investigate them one by one.
But now if Feng Yuntong is to be put back in the Chu Palace, Ba Yuhuan and Murong Shuang are really a little relieved.
"Well, princess Ben will go with you and see what he has to say. Sister Murong, you'd better not go, if we always appear in front of Chu Xuanming so neatly now, with his smart head, we will definitely be suspicious. ”
