Chapter 136: A plan has been made
Wen Moqing's words not only surprised Wen Jingyuan, but also surprised him when he said goodbye.
Yan Liwu still remembered the stone room where she and Wen Moqing were trapped, when she wanted to push open the lid of the coffin to see inside, but she didn't continue because she touched the mechanism, and then she was poisoned and unconscious, so she forgot to explore the inside of the coffin.
Did Wen Moqing go to that stone chamber to investigate later? Is there really a corpse in there? If so, whose corpse?
Glancing at the jade pendant on the bookcase, it was the one where the Qinglian King and his sisters each held half a piece, and then thought of Wen Moqing's statement that "you can pretend to be the Qinglian King to hide from the sky and the sea", Yan Li basically had a guess in his heart.
"Where did this jade pendant come from? Who are you talking about the corpse? Wen Jingyuan was surprised and then looked suspicious, and his deep voice showed that he was very dissatisfied, "You have never reported these things to me, why do you suddenly say it now?" ”
Wen Moqing said calmly: "The emperor is too tired of everything, and the minister doesn't want to take out some clues that haven't been straightened out to annoy the emperor, so he didn't mention the corpse before, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor needs to give King Qinglian a convincing statement, the minister originally planned to report this matter after investigating it clearly." ”
At the beginning, he handed over the case of King Qinglian to Wen Moqing to investigate and deal with, Wen Jingyuan once said that there was no need to report everything, and now Wen Moqing used this as an excuse for him to blame anything, so he had to wave his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, how to explain the whereabouts of King Qinglian to the outside world, and I will talk to you alone later." After the birthday banquet, the previous dynasty lost a lot of civil and military generals, and I couldn't find anyone to discuss anything, so today you are all here, so let's take the place of those who are not there. ”
Now that it has been confirmed that she is not the Qinglian King and she has no worries, what is the point of asking so much? Isn't that redundant? Yan Liwu stood aside silently, and scolded Wen Jingyuan one hundred and eighty times in his heart.
"The emperor has decided not to investigate Miss Yan's life experience, and it is natural to let her go back to the people, no punishment or reward, as if there has never been this inside story." Wen Moshu seized the opportunity to fight for freedom for his worries.
No matter what aspect you think about, it is the best choice to let Yan Liwu leave the imperial capital as an ordinary person, yes, and Wen Jingyuan didn't plan to ask other people's opinions, and just when he wanted to make a decision, he was unexpectedly interrupted by Lian Song.
"The minister has a different opinion." The corners of his mouth with a cold smile raised slightly, Lian Song glanced at Yan Li worriedly, and then put on a loyal gaze and said loudly, "Even if Miss Yan is not the King of Qinglian, appearing in the Qinglian Palace means that she has a relationship with the King of Qinglian - the emperor and Miss Yan should not misunderstand, the minister is not advocating continuing to investigate Miss Yan's crimes, but out of concern for Miss Yan." During the birthday banquet, most of the Qinglian King's henchmen were cut off, but there were still some remnants who escaped and hid in the shadows, these chaotic ministers and thieves were weak, and they might not be able to have any impact on my Great Abyss, but it was not difficult to hurt Miss Yan. Yes, the minister thought that even if Miss Yan took off the hat of King Qinglian, she should not leave with confidence, for the sake of safety, it would be better to stay in the palace for the time being to see the situation and then make plans. ”
The people who want her to suffer misfortune the most are Lan Zhirong and Lian Song, can it be okay to stay in the palace? Wen Jingyuan didn't understand the scheming hidden after Lian Song's proposal, but he could see it clearly, Lian Song let her stay in the palace just because he didn't want to lose the opportunity to manipulate and torture her, and half of his kindness didn't exist.
Wen Moshu also understood what Lian Song meant, and said in a deep voice: "In the deep palace, it is not in accordance with the rules for a commoner to stay here, and Miss Yan is not as official as Chu Ci and Boss Jun—"
"Boss Jun is the tea master of Hanmo Palace, and the prince of Chu was once worshiped by the first emperor as the head of the strategists, so it is reasonable to stay in the palace, but the girl Yan in cloth clothes also has a reason to stay in the palace." Lian Song interrupted Wen Moshu, and the deep smile on his strangely white face became more and more gloomy, "As the person whom the second prince loves with all his heart, is it too cruel to let Miss Yan leave the palace and wander alone?" ”
Lian Song's voice was not loud, but he taught the imperial study to be silent for a moment, and his breathing could be heard.
After a long time, Wen Jingyuan gasped heavily, and his face was gloomy: "Mo Shu, what the prime minister said is true?" What is your relationship with this woman?! ”
Wen Moshu's fingertips trembled, and he wanted to explain, but suddenly lowered his head and coughed sharply, Wen Moqing on the side looked at Lian Song intentionally or unintentionally, and the two lines of sight met, and the cold seemed to be frozen in mid-air. At this time, among all the people in the imperial study, only Wen Mozheng was the least good at these bloodless battles, seeing that Wen Moshu was coughing badly, he was anxious and scared, he wanted to step forward to support Wen Moshu but did not dare to move, and his green face was full of anxiety.
Wen Jingyuan seemed to feel that his tone was too heavy, his face softened slightly, and he glanced at Wen Mozheng, and Wen Mozheng dared to stride over to Wen Moshu and gently pat him on the back.
The two brothers have been together for many years, Wen Mozheng knew that Wen Moshu did not have the habit of going out with medicine, so he handed him a sweat towel, Wen Moshu covered his mouth and coughed and quickly rolled the sweat towel into his palm and held it. Although Wen Moshu's movements were fast, Wen Mozheng, who saw it, still saw a scene that made him panic.
On the new and clean sweat towel, a touch of black and red blood was shocking.
"Second brother......" Wen Mozheng was so anxious that he was about to cry, and his voice changed tone.
Listening to Wen Moshu's coughing voice was not as continuous and powerful as before, Yan Liwu already faintly felt inappropriate, and when Wen Mozheng's crying voice sounded, she didn't care about any imperial etiquette, and turned around to run to Wen Moshu's side.
At the moment when she was about to move, a figure suddenly blocked in front of her, and her familiar voice was almost inaudible and quickly whispered in her ear: "Stand still." ”
Wen Jingyuan attaches great importance to etiquette than the emperors of the Yuan Kingdom, and walking in front of him without permission is a loss of honor in front of the emperor and a great crime of disrespect. Yan Liwu's identity is already quite sensitive to Wen Jingyuan, and if there is any action that offends Long Wei, let alone leaving the palace, it would be good to be able to save this life. Wen Moqing didn't do things for Wen Jingyuan for a day or two, and she deeply understood Wen Jingyuan's moody character, so she stopped her in a low voice before she took action, in case she further angered Wen Jingyuan.
Being supported by Wen Mozheng and Wen Moqing left and right, Wen Moshu hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and secretly glanced at Wen Mozheng: "It's okay, it's an old problem, don't worry." ”
"Even if it's an old problem, you should pay more attention to it, and if you need any medicinal materials, just open your mouth, there are them in the palace." Wen Jingyuan pretended to be concerned, and after dealing with two sentences, he brought the topic back to Yan Liwu, "I just said in an inappropriate tone, don't take it to heart the second prince, I'm just curious about the relationship between you and Yan Liwu." In my impression, you shouldn't have much to do with her, how can you ......?"
"Miss Yan is proficient in medical skills, and the medicines that Erchen is taking now are all prescribed by Miss Yan, and there must be a lot of communication between the doctor and the patient, and they will be familiar with it after coming and going." Wen Moshu sat back in the chair and sighed, "At first, Erchen was also suspicious of Miss Yan's identity, but after slowly contacting her, I found that she was kind and gentle, completely different from King Qinglian, so I gradually fell in love with her. It's just that marriage is not a child's play, and the son wanted to wait until the time was ripe to find a time to show his father to the emperor, but even the prime minister said it quickly, and hoped that the father would not blame the son for deliberately concealing it. ”
Lian Song smiled lightly and bowed slightly: "In this way, I am too talkative, please forgive the second prince." ”
Wen Moshu smiled and said nothing.
Before Wen Jingyuan summoned Yan Liwu, he had a plan to confess, but this plan was to be placed after Yan Liwu got rid of the identity of the guilt, if Yan Liwu was still burdened with the identity of the Qinglian King, then his relationship with Yan Liwu was likely to be interpreted by Wen Jingyuan as a sign of the alliance between the two forces, which would only attract deeper vigilance. Now that Lian Song calculated his concerns first, Wen Moshu couldn't continue to delay, so he simply explained it, but fortunately, in a moment's preface, Wen Jingyuan had already recognized it, except for the taboo against King Qinglian, Wen Jingyuan should not be too resistant to oppose it.
Don't say it sooner or later, but at this time, it is proposed that Lian Song is calculated or just a coincidence?
Lian Song, who was looked at by a few eyes that were not good at looking at him, did not change his complexion, his hair was curled at his fingertips, and he was hidden under the wrench of Cui **di: "The second prince and Miss Yan are happy and cherish each other, which is a good story, but as Miss Yan's status as a common person, it seems that it is inconsistent with my Dayuan convention, how should this be?" ”
"Yes, the princess has always been selected from the courtiers or royal families above the second grade, in addition to good looks, she pays more attention to her background and upbringing, and her appearance is impeccable, but her identity is ......" Wen Jingyuan followed Lian Song's words, revealing a touch of hypocrisy and embarrassment, "Although there is no provision on the princess's origin, it is still inconvenient to change the old rules that have been followed for hundreds of years, even if Mo Shu takes the initiative to speak, it is still difficult for me to make an exception in this matter." ”
From ancient times to the present, the royal family has boasted of the bloodline of the Son of Heaven, noble and pure, from the queen to the concubine of more than one grade to the princess and princess, all the wives of the royal family are required to have a clean background and a prominent background, not only for the sake of the bloodline of the descendants, but also for the thin layer of the royal family. Wen Moshu is just an ordinary prince, and his status has not yet reached the height of being able to change the habits that have accumulated for hundreds of years.
Wen Moshu had been prepared for Wen Jingyuan's troubles, straightened up and said in a low voice: "This problem has been considered by the ministers for a long time. Yihua and Liangzhi in the north are connected to the barbarian territory, and there have been many disasters and turmoil since ancient times, and no one is willing to take care of it so far. Erchen is weak and powerless to share the political affairs of the previous dynasty for his father, and he has long wanted to find a secluded place to recuperate at ease, so it is better for his father to casually appoint a prince to control these two places. ”
As a prince, go to the barren land to be a county king? Wen Jingyuan pondered for a long time, and was a little moved.
