Chapter 56: Wandering around the Hou Mansion
This question, Heng Xinyuan is also quite strange, although he has been promoted to three levels in a row recently, and some of his edges are gradually revealed, but it is not enough to threaten the status of Dao, so who is so eager to get rid of himself.
Seeing Zhao Yanyi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he said, "It's better to go into the house and have a cup of tea and talk slowly." ”
"No need." Zhao Yanyi waved his hand politely, "I'll make a long story short, today's incident was done by the killers under the prince." ”
"Prince!" Heng Xinyuan was taken aback, coughed vigorously twice, and showed an expression of disbelief, "You mean Li Gaotang?" Hehe, he couldn't hold back ......"
smiled coldly, and his heart suddenly brightened, "Presumably because of the previous solicitations, I didn't join his command, and now seeing that my official position is gradually rising, I am afraid that I will join the camp of a certain prince in the future, so I want to start in advance and get rid of me." ”
Zhao Yanyi nodded, "That's true, my father just asked me to tell you, you must pay attention to the prince and the queen when you come in." ”
Wan Bingyu felt sorry for her husband, secretly clenched her fists, bit her lips and asked, "Can you take people's lives for the sake of the throne, Xinyuan just did what he should do, can't they tolerate it!" I'm so! This group of crazy people! ”
"Okay...... Okay" Heng Xinyuan quickly reached out and grabbed her, trying to make himself look relaxed, "You see I'm standing in front of you well, what else is there to worry about." ”
Wan Bingyu wiped a handful of tears, choked and held his cold hand, put it to his mouth intimately, blew a few breaths of hot air, and his eyes were shining, like a piece of ice and snow melting in his pupils.
Zhao Yanyi, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but feel lost in his heart, and reluctantly put on a smile, "Since Xinyuan has returned home safely, then I won't stay longer and say goodbye." ”
"Thank you for the rescue." Heng Xinyuan folded his hands, bowed, and said gratefully.
Zhao Yanyi didn't say anything more, went out and pedaled the saddle on the horse, walked away, and disappeared into the cold moonlight.
At the beginning of the hour, a man in black flew outside the Zhengyang Gate, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city clenched the swords and halberds in their hands and stepped forward and asked, "Who is coming!" Now it is the hour, and the gates are closed! ”
The man didn't say much, but took out a goose-yellow jade pendant from his waist and shook it in front of the two of them.
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! The small one will open the door for you. As he spoke, he ran lightly and opened the city gate slightly, just enough for the man in black to enter.
When he came to the outside of the palace, he repeatedly confirmed that no one was watching around before knocking on the door and walking in.
Li Gaotang had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Li Yan coming back, he hurriedly got up and asked, "Why did you come back so quickly?" It's all over? ”
"Back to the Prince...... Thing...... Something went wrong......" Li Yan replied with a sigh.
"Accidents? How can there be accidents? Li Gaotang exploded when he heard this, and his voice suddenly raised an octave, "I used to let you get rid of as many people as you did it cleanly, why can't you even deal with a weak scholar now!" ”
Li Yan wiped the sweat dripping on his chin, and replied nervously, "It could have been done, but the two people sent by his subordinates have led him to the suburbs, and he was about to do it, but Zhao Yanyi appeared, and my two killers were killed by him......"
"Zhao Yanyi? Zhao Yanyi ......" Li Gaoyu's eyes glared at the boss, as if his whole body was stiff, "You mean to reprimand the son of Zhao Fangyu, Zhao Yanyi?" ”
"Exactly."
"How could he show up?" Li Gaotang couldn't figure it out even if he broke his head, this month was dark and windy, except for people like Heng Xinyuan who rushed home at night, who else would go to that kind of place.
"This subordinate doesn't know either." Li Yan took two steps forward and reminded him in his ear, "Your Highness, Zhao Yanyi will not appear for no reason, do you think it will be the rebuke of the Marquis...... After all, the old case ......"
The words stopped here, Li Yan didn't continue to speak, but this was enough to make Li Gaotang feel a tsunami in his heart, he held his breath and walked around the hall a few times, the old case of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion back then, all the people who knew a little bit of the inside story were cut off one by one, only a few remained, and they were also exiled to the border to serve.
The only one left was the Marquis of Wei, and he pleaded for General Zhenyuan in front of the emperor back then, but after the dust settled, the emperor may have felt guilty in his heart, not only did not dispose of him, but gave him the position of a first-class marquis.
He once guessed his father's holy will, perhaps to warn Zhao Fangyu that he would keep to himself and not have to revisit the old things, and Zhao Fangyu did so, staying away from the court for many years and not asking about political affairs, which was gradually forgotten by himself.
And now he is like a tiger returning to the mountain, returning to the court, as soon as he comes back, he can make the emperor furious and confine himself, and he is so close to Hengxin.
What is the subtle connection between this?
I don't know how long I walked, until my legs were slightly numb and tiredness hit, he waved his hand, let Li Yan retreat, and repeatedly told him that he must leave no traces and not let anyone know about last night.
As soon as he was gone, he returned to the table, and ordered the maid beside him to lay out the paper and grind it, and write a note.
On the second day, at the invitation of Zhao Fangyu, Heng Xinyuan took Wan Bingyu to the Hou Mansion to enjoy chrysanthemums and tea.
Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Yanyi led the way in front of them, and the two of them followed behind.
Along the way, he couldn't stop sighing, "It is said that the flower garden of the Marquis Mansion is not even comparable to the imperial garden in the palace, and now it can be regarded as seeing it with my own eyes, not to mention the precious flowers in the courtyard, but looking at the various colors of golden cinnamon and autumn chrysanthemums, it can be seen, Uncle Zhao is so Yaxing." ”
Zhao Fangyu smiled lovingly, "It's just a hobby, in fact, I don't pay much attention to this courtyard, but Yi'er, I often invite a florist to serve, he knows a lot better than me." ”
Wan Bingyu, who was dazzled by the strolling, whispered, "It turned out to be the masterpiece of Zhao Dagongzi, but it really surprised me!" ”
"What's the surprise?" Zhao Yanyi stopped in front of her and looked at her curiously, "Miss Wan, is there something in your words?" I'm very curious. ”
Wan Bingyu didn't twist and pinch to hide it, touched his chin with one hand, and said with a light smile, "Because I have always thought that Zhao Gongzi is the kind of gentleman who only knows how to go in and out of wind and snow places, and the beauty never leaves his body, and the wine does not leave his hand, I didn't expect you to not only be strong in martial arts, but also know the art of gardening." ”
After hearing this, the three people in front of him were stunned for a moment, and then they leaned forward and laughed together, Heng Xinyuan looked at her helplessly, "Bingyu, what you said really hurt Yan Yi's heart, who doesn't know that the son of the Marquis of the Manchu Dynasty is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs." ”
"Civilian-military all-rounder?" Wan Bingyu pretended not to believe it and pouted, "I look at these four words, and I still need to think about them." ”
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Yanyi's cheeks were already slightly red, and she said in a shy voice, "Since this is the case, then Miss Wan is welcome, often come to my house to sit, and after a long time, I will naturally understand the truth of this sentence." ”
