Chapter 406: Finding Out the Truth
Zhao Kehan looked at him for a moment, then looked away from Jin Yantang and asked, "Your Majesty, when the concubine escaped from the palace, the token was lost, and I don't know where that thing is now." ”
Zhao Kehan refused without thinking about it.
Jin Yantang sighed and said regretfully: "If this is the case, your identity cannot be proven, I'm afraid that the canonization will need to be postponed, Han'er, do you have anything else that can prove your identity?" ”
Zhao Kehan shook his head and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, when the concubine fled the palace, those things were already taken away by the minions in the palace, how can there be any physical evidence that can prove the identity of the concubine?" Only my aunt can prove it. ”
Jin Yantang used Zhao Kehan's words like this, but he still couldn't get any useful information from her.
Looking at Zhao Kehan's meaning, he will never hand over something as important as the token.
So, Jin Yantang's eyes gradually sank, and then he said to Zhao Kehan: "Since this is the case, then I will think of other ways, Han'er, you stay here." ”
As soon as the words fell, Jin Yantang left here.
Zhao Kehan watched his back from behind, but the smile on his face never disappeared.
Jin Yantang's words just now obviously made her feel quite good, and when Zhao Kehan was in a good mood, she would not fight and kill these palace maids.
Xinrui on the side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After leaving Ximeng Palace, Jin Yantang went to the Crescent Moon Pavilion to see Yunqing.
I saw Yun Qingzheng talking to Yun Lao Taijun, and saw Jin Yantang walking in, so the two of them got up and saluted him: "See Your Majesty......"
Before they could finish speaking, Jin Yantang helped them up and said, "No need to be polite, old lady, please sit down, I want to discuss some things with Yunqing." ”
When Mrs. Yun heard this, she smiled and said, "It just so happened that I asked the Queen Mother to go to the Imperial Garden for tea, so Your Majesty will please." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yun Lao Taijun went to Cining Palace, and a palace maid followed behind to serve her.
After Yun Lao Taijun left, Jin Yantang said to Yun Qing: "Yun Qing, I have tested Zhao Kehan, and she has not handed over anything with the same value as the token, so I would like to ask you to investigate why this token was buried in the imperial garden by the palace maid, and in addition, I will ask Fu Pu to assist you." ”
In the past few days, Jin Yantang has been too cautious in doing things, and he didn't let Fupu follow him.
After listening to Jin Yantang's words, Yun Qing understood that he probably wanted to start from the source of the appearance of this token.
It's just that this matter is still a little difficult for Yun Qing, so Yun Qing looked at him and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will take some time to find out why this token appeared in the Imperial Garden, but if you can find the palace maid who buried this token in the past, it will be much easier." ”
Hearing this, Jin Yantang's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Then do you still remember the appearance of the palace maid?" Can you depict her in detail? ”
Yun Qing thought for a moment and replied, "I still remember this, after all, it just happened, and the grass people have some impressions." ”
"In that case, it's much more convenient, you can come with me."
Jin Yantang said, turned around and took Yun Qing away, Yun Qing was a little curious, but still followed.
The two of them left the Crescent Pavilion and walked towards the cabinet, and about a quarter of an hour later, a magnificent building appeared in front of them.
The vermilion plaque outlines the words "Huanyu Pavilion".
Jin Yantang took Yun Qing and walked straight inside, and as soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he saw rows of men with different appearances, depicting a waiter on the drawing board.
But when they saw Jin Yantang, they immediately stopped their movements and saluted him one after another: "Weichen see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an!" "China
Their saluting movements were also different from those of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which made Yun Qing even more curious.
Jin Yantang's grim face returned to his usual indifference, he waved his hand at these people, and said, "Let's all be even, can Painted Rhett be there?" ”
As soon as the words fell, before these people could answer, they saw a gray-haired old man come out of it.
The old man had curly hair, a white complexion, a high nose and deep eyes, and wore clothes embroidered with dark green gold thread and animal patterns.
I saw him come to Jin Yantang, nodded respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is here." ”
Jin Yantang helped him and said, "Painter Rhett doesn't need to be polite, I would like to ask you to help draw a portrait according to the dictation." ”
Old Man Rhett smiled and said in fluent official words, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Seeing this, Jin Yantang introduced Yunqing: "This Rador painter can draw the portrait of the palace maid according to the appearance of the palace maid you dictated, you start." ”
It turned out that Jin Yantang asked him if he remembered the appearance of the palace maid, which was what he meant!
Yun Qing understood, so he nodded to the painter, and then said: "That palace maid wears yellow clothes, and her round face is thin......
As Yun Qing described sentence by sentence, the old man took the drawing board and pen of the painter next to him and began to draw, one of them spoke carefully, and the other drew attentively.
After a quarter of an hour had passed, I heard the old man suddenly put down his pen, looked up and smiled at the two of them, "It's done." ”
As he spoke, he tore off the drawing paper from the drawing board, handed it to Jin Yantang and said, "Your Majesty, take a look, can you draw the same?" ”
Jin Yantang handed the painting to Yun Qing, Yun Qing glanced at it, his eyes lit up, he looked up and smiled at the old man Rhett: "That's it, that's it, master, you're so amazing!" ”
Seeing that Yun Qing was confirmed, Jin Yantang nodded to Old Man Rhett and thanked him, and then left the Huanyu Pavilion with Yun Qing.
Along the way, Yun Qing followed behind Jin Yantang and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what is the Huanyu Pavilion?" So why is Master Rhett so powerful? ”
Jin Yantang's expression was calm, and he explained: "Huanyu Pavilion is the place where the court painters live, what you saw just now are the Western painters in the outer hall of the Huanyu Pavilion, and the Central Plains painters live in the inner hall. ”
As he spoke, he paused and said, "That Master Reid was intercepted by the first emperor from the transport ship and left in the Great Zhou Dynasty when the first emperor was there, and he is good at this kind of portrait painting, which Westerners call sketching." ”
No wonder there were so many Westerners in the Cosmos Pavilion just now.
After listening to Jin Yantang's explanation, Yun Qing's eyes flashed slightly, and he followed him without saying anything.
Subsequently, Jin Yantang took Yunqing to see Fupu.
Fupu took Yunqing to check the palace maid on this portrait.
Night, Ximeng Palace.
The wind blew through the window, and in the dormitory, after Shushu stepped forward to close the window, he respectfully said to Zhao Kehan: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the slave maid has already arranged our people in the nunnery, as long as Shang Kelan rushes over, she will be tortured to death by our people as planned!" ”
Zhao Kehan nodded with satisfaction, and said to the calligraphy and painting: "You did a good job, have you disposed of the corpses of those killers?" ”
"Don't worry, the slave has asked the eldest princess to dispose of it, and the eldest princess also said that Niangniang just rest assured to do it, no matter what you do, she will support you."
Zhao Kehan smiled, but his voice changed, and he asked, "Calligraphy and painting, do you say that Your Majesty has a palace in his heart?" ”
Hearing this, Calligraphy and Painting were stunned for a moment, no matter how smart she was in the past, she didn't dare to get involved with Concubine Jia's feelings.
