Chapter 260: Returning Home to Ask
Feng Xiaoyue led the people under her command all the way to the west, and sure enough, they found the waterway in the picture on the map.
It was a sunken rocky road that winded at the foot of several hills, looking forward from where Feng Xiaoyue was standing, and spreading to nowhere.
The eleven cities of Yanwu are arranged in a zigzag column, headed by Yanwu City, which is related to the territory of the imperial court.
Although this waterway is in the territory of Yanwu City, if you want to bring water in from its source, I am afraid that it will involve the land of the imperial court.
Feng Xiaoyue stood still, pinched her chin with one hand, thinking about how to solve the problem of water sources, and looked around again, those hills are a little short, the height is not enough, I am afraid it is difficult to see the end of the waterway.
"Miss, look over there." Just now she asked the carriage to run as high as possible, and after getting out of the car, she stepped on the stone, looking into the distance, Lin Xiao guessed that Feng Xiaoyue might be trying to find a suitable place to watch.
Feng Xiaoyue looked in the direction she pointed, and from the position in front of her to the south, a towering mountain and cliff suddenly appeared on the land, which formed a particularly sharp contrast with the short hills in front of Feng Xiaoyue.
"It's enough to look at the height, but it's a little too far." Feng Xiaoyue pursed her lips, noncommittal about the idea of whether to go to that mountain.
"And more importantly, this mountain is not so much closer to our Yanwu City, but more like the direction of the imperial court, if we rush over, I am afraid that they will hold on to it."
"In my opinion, we should take a long-term view, and ask someone to probe the wind first, and draw the image there, so as not to startle the snake." Feng Xiaoyue saw that it was not early today, so she gave up chasing all the way, jumped down from the stone, and led everyone back to the small courtyard.
On the other side, Murong Lin returned to the palace non-stop, worried that Han Yufeng was deceived by a traitor and had different intentions.
As a result, after finally catching up with the Hanging Bell Courtyard, he found Han Yufeng lying on the recliner leisurely eating snacks.
"Why did Lin'er have time to come over to see her mother today, her mother felt very happy, come here, don't hurry up and bring up the prince's favorite dim sum." Han Yufeng was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, her expression of joy was as if she had received a rich New Year's money for the New Year, she took Murong Lin's wrist with one hand, and pulled him to the stone table and sat down.
"The concubine is for you, but I have prepared these things every day, if you are not in a hurry to leave today, sit down and have some lunch with the concubine."
"The son just suddenly remembered, came to see the concubine, and he will leave in a while, but I'm afraid that he won't have so much time to eat with the concubine." Although Murong Lin could roughly guess how Han Yufeng would treat him when he saw it, he was still a little uncomfortable after he really ran into it.
"And the mother, don't bother preparing food for me in the future, I won't be hungry anywhere, if these things are prepared and no one uses them, it will be wasted, after all, the current situation is not optimistic."
"Is Lin'er starting to dislike her mother too?" Han Yufeng wanted to shed tears as she spoke, pulled a handkerchief with one hand, and pretended to wipe away the tears that did not exist in the corners of her eyes, and her tone was extremely pitiful.
"The mother concubine is now old and has no ability, the only thing she can do is to wait for you and your father to go back to the palace to talk, and now the mother concubine can't even do these things, then the mother concubine will really become a waste person in the palace." As soon as these words came out, several maids around Han Yufeng also lowered their heads, for fear of affecting Han Yufeng's acting.
Murong Lin knew in his heart that she was pretending, but he still couldn't do anything to debunk it, so he had to compromise.
"It's the son's fault, the mother can do whatever she wants, it's all the son's fault, and he has failed the mother's sincerity."
"It's good that you know, and it's not in vain for the hard work of the mother." Han Yufeng put down the handkerchief in his hand, bent the corners of his mouth and sighed softly.
"There's just one thing, concubine, dare to ask what the concubine plans to do with that stone tablet?" Murong Lin laughed awkwardly with Han Yufeng twice, and hurriedly cut to the chase, so as not to be forgotten by her nonsense.
"Did you come here today just to ask the concubine if she had destroyed the stele?" Saying that, Han Yufeng seemed to be really angry, and she lightly slammed the table.
"The mother concubine is ignorant of things, and she will not leave this kind of thing that endangers our palace. If you come here to ask questions like this, it won't hurt the heart of the concubine too much. ”
"Indeed, Shizi Ye, you should apologize seriously to the princess," the two of them spoke, and Xiaoice actually intervened on his own, taking over Mother Chen's original position and pressing Han Yufeng's shoulder.
Although Han Yufeng didn't like outsiders to interfere in the affairs of his mother, he thought that Xiaoice was speaking for himself, and he didn't say anything to stop the rebuttal.
"In order not to worry about the princess and the prince, the princess sent a slave to take the stone tablet out early in the morning and destroy it, so that the slave and maid could pack a ticket for the princess." As soon as these words came out, Xiaoice really received a grateful and satisfied look from Han Yufeng.
It turns out that you are behind this. Murong Lin sneered in his heart, but it didn't show it on his face.
"I see, then I am relieved, I was thinking that it would be hard for the mother concubine to deal with this matter alone, so I kept thinking about wanting to come over and help, but I didn't expect the mother to solve it herself. If this is really different from the past, the mother concubine has also improved a lot. After listening to Murong Lin's patient coaxing, Han Yufeng eased his face and waved his hand with a light smile.
"It's pretty much the same, in fact, the mother concubine is not that powerful, after all, the extra decades of time than you are not in vain."
"Exactly, what the mother said is very true." Murong Lin laughed twice in a particularly loud voice, and then sighed with a regretful face, Han Yufeng hurriedly came to ask when he saw this, and Murong Lin slowly raised his head.
"But speaking of which, I didn't see anything on it clearly, but I almost forgot those words,"
"Originally, I wanted to ask my mother to borrow the stele to take a good look, maybe I could find some clues of the person who framed us, but now it seems that it is a pity."
"It turns out that you are for this matter, I said a long time ago that it is impossible for my son to do anything to hurt me." Han Yufeng touched Murong Lin's head with his own hands full of love, and persuaded him carefully.
"It doesn't matter, we can still go far away with something like this, forget it if we miss it this time, try to catch it next time, just like you and your father said, at least we can't let the court doubt our minds."
"Yes, Princess." When Murong Lin and Han Yufeng were talking, they had also been paying attention to Xiaoice behind Han Yufeng.
Since he said just now that he wanted to look at the stone monument again, Xiaoice's body couldn't help but tremble, like this real conditioned reflex can't be hidden.
Xiaoice is the person next to Han Yufeng, and he should not leave something behind by himself, so he may be bewitched by others.
It's just that those who can enter the palace to bewitch the maid, the chance is small and pitiful, after ruling it out like this, it can only be that person is a person in the palace.
"Speaking of which, thanks to this sister's opening, our mother and son were saved from quarreling, since my sister said that the mother concubine handed over the matter of the stone tablet to you, then dare to ask my sister how to deal with it?" Murong Lin seemed to mention it inadvertently, and sure enough, he saw that her hands trembled a few more times.
Han Yufeng noticed from just now that Murong Lin's eyes kept turning around Xiaoice's body, and thought that he had taken a fancy to Xiaoice, Han Yufeng also deliberately turned his head to look at Xiaoice, but quickly refuted his own opinion.
Although Xiaoice is a second-class maid of the Hanging Bell Courtyard, her identity is somewhat different, but her appearance is not very delicate, at least compared with Feng Xiaoyue, but the difference is more than 108,000 li, even if Murong Lin has poor taste, it is estimated that he will not be able to look at it.
After Han Yufeng lowered his head and was relieved, Xiaoice grabbed his handkerchief and the hem of his clothes with both hands, and still replied weakly.
"The princess said that she wanted to smash this stone tablet, and the slave and maid did not dare to slack off at all, but the slave and maid could not carry such a heavy thing by themselves, so they called two illiterate strong men to come over and help wrap it in cloth and take it out and smash it."
"Is it really that simple?" Murong Lin opened his eyes, staring at Xiaoice with a slight gloom in his eyes, wanting to scare her into confessing the whole truth.
"You brought things up truthfully, who you called, who you met, and where the stele was smashed in the end, tell me clearly, this is also your only chance." Han Yufeng didn't understand what he meant, so he just went back and forth between Murong Lin and Xiaoice, and reached out to stop Murong Lin.
"You speak a little softer, Mama Chen has been back to the countryside these days, and she is the only clever girl waiting for me by my side, don't scare people stupid for me." The expression on Murong Lin's face froze, and she was a little helpless to Han Yufeng, and she was afraid that the news that the stone tablet was still there would scare her, so she was entangled for a while, and she didn't know how to speak.
And Xiaoice also grabbed his handkerchief with all kinds of sorrow, and did not dare to stand up to explain the situation. And just as the two of them were confronting each other, Murong Yu walked in with a displeased face.
"What's the matter, sir? Could it be that things are not going well outside, or is the drought worsening? Han Yufeng has been by his side for so many years, and he is able to comfort him with a good understanding of his thoughts, and he has done a good job in this regard.
After Murong Yu sat down, Han Yufeng got up and took the tea made by the maid and served it himself.
"The tea in this is the water in the reservoir built by the prince outside, although the taste is a little bad, but it is enough to make tea," Tianyuan Shifei, the lady please go back to the mansion The latest chapter 260: Go back to the house to inquire about the website:
