Speaking of this, Qin Zhengzhao stopped, his calm eyes made some slight waves, and finally calmed down like a cloud.

The last wish of the first emperor, it's time to speed up the search. From the beginning of meeting Xie Yunzhi in Jiangnan, he knew that the emperor was also looking for him.

Master Xie explained what Shu'er brought him, he understood the deep meaning, and hoped that he would stop this matter.

However, when I think of the first emperor, the emperor is majestic and ruthless, and for him, it is also Bole.

Aside from the royal family, as a father, his son who was left behind before his death could not come to see him. The more the sins of life and the mistakes committed are approaching, the clearer they are before death, and the more they want to make amends.

However, time is running out.

Qin Zheng, may you take him to the imperial tomb, in front of my grave. If it's in the family tree, it's even better.

The last sentence of the first emperor's eyes was still hovering in his mind, and he remembered the first emperor's expression at that time.

In fact, the first emperor knew that it was very difficult for the prince who was left behind to enter the royal family tree again.

It is not easy to bring it to the grave safely.

Qin Zheng thought deeply, and finally he raised his hand to wipe it on the tablet, and his tone was gentle, "Wan'er, I promised the first emperor." Shu'er also knew that she disagreed. Although I don't ask anymore, I understand her thoughts. ”

In her daughter's eyes, the national affairs and the court are all clouds, and she only cares about the Qin family.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, Master Shen is here."

The king's steward waited respectfully, but he did not hear any movement inside, and in a moment the door of the house opened.

"Welcome to the main hall?"

"I'll be waiting for you in the hall."

Qin Zheng nodded, and walked on the trail after a while, presumably Master Shen was for Yanran's business.

Qin Yanran's identity has not been publicized to the public, and no one knows that she is related to the Qin Mansion. She entered Beijing in the Qin family's carriage, and what she did after that, including entering Yuelu, they didn't know.

Therefore, after he entered, he said to himself, "Yan Ran is fine, there is a misunderstanding, the news has been blocked, she will go to school as usual, and her parents will not take her away." ”

When Master Shen heard this, he immediately waved his hand, "I'm looking for you, it's not like this." ”

After saying that, his eyebrows were solemn, and with a slight look, Qin Zheng's mind tightened, and he hurriedly waved away from the small house outside the hall.

"Got news?"

Master Shen nodded, a lot heavier, "There is finally progress, but it is bad news." Two months after the death of the first emperor, the second prince unfortunately returned from a serious illness and was buried, just in Bairipo. ”

Bairipo, not far from the capital, is twenty miles away from the suburbs of Beijing.

It's just, how did you die? and the first emperor one after the other, too suddenly.

"The specific location of the burial, do you know?"

As soon as Shen Fuzi heard this, his body tensed, "You are confused, is it possible to open the coffin for an autopsy?" ”

Only in this way can we identify whether it is true or not, and the death is inexplicable, a young man in his early twenties, with a great body, and a sudden serious illness?

"It's a matter of the royal family, we must be cautious, if it's false, we believe it to be true, but we don't do anything."

Master Shen sighed, "I understand, don't worry, someone is faster than us in this matter." ”

Qin Zheng frowned deeply, and instantly knew who it was.

"The emperor also knows, send Lord Xie to verify his identity?"

Master Shen shook his head, "The emperor may not know, but Lord Xie has already gone, if it is true, he will tell you." If we go to inspect it, it is bound to be sneaky, after all, digging the coffin, the battle is too big, it is difficult not to arouse suspicion, it is better to wait. ”

Indeed, the best way now is to wait.

If it's fake, keep looking.

"It's just that this is a secret matter, and it is impossible for Lord Xie to tell you the result, but there is a ......"

Speaking of this, Shen Fuzi's voice was lower, "Dingbei Hou." ”

I learned the truth through Dingbei Hou, if I did this, it would be equivalent to involving Xiao Jinyan.

Qin Zheng almost didn't think about it, shook his head and said, "I have my own idea, you go back to the academy first, and the people sent out will be withdrawn." ”

They had no soldiers and no secret guards, but the literati were all over the world. Some became teachers, some traveled the world, and some changed careers.

There are many eyes, and there are many schemes.

"Okay, I'll leave now."

After that, Master Shen walked forward, but stopped before he reached the threshold, "Yanran went back to the academy, let me ask, the man in the rumor is a miscellaneous servant of my academy." Jiangnan people, hometown people, talk more than others. ”

As he spoke, he smiled again, "This handyman was recommended by your daughter, so there will be no problem." Yanran and that kid have good qualities. ”

I don't know which one lacks the heart and eyes, spread rumors about them, and can't get along with Yuelu.

If it weren't for the intervention of Dingbei Hou, he would investigate to the end and spread rumors, and he would have to pay the price for revealing the truth.

Thinking that the culprit was the Qin family, and the sisters were fighting each other, Qin Zheng only nodded and said a hmm.

After a short time, Master Shen left.

Qin Zheng stood in the hall for a while, and then went to the study, Xie Yunzhi's style of acting had already gone, and he was willing to open the coffin tonight and ask him to verify it.

Indeed, Xie Yunzhi went to Bairipo and brought secret guards and servants.

It's just that after watching it in front of the grave, he brought people back, and he didn't even touch an inch of soil when he opened the coffin.

By the time he was gone, he had returned home.

The secret guard and the servant didn't understand, so they went twenty miles away overnight, just to stand in the moonlight and admire a tomb?

It wasn't until he entered the study that Xie Yunzhi called the secret guard.

"Go to the Hou Mansion and tell Xiao Jinyan that I sold this face."

The secret guard was confused, just came back from Bairipo, and went to Dingbei Hou Mansion, what kind of face to sell?

There were too many doubts, but he didn't dare to ask, and bowed out of the house.

In the study, sandalwood curls, Xie Yunzhi sat on a mahogany chair, his elbows resting lightly on the edge of the table.

The second prince is dead, including the news of the grave, which is false.

If he had been buried two months ago, the soil would not have been so fresh, it would have been more earthy, and the soil would have been loose.

The temporary cemetery, it is likely that there is no coffin in it, and it is just a trick to repel the eyes of the Qin Taifu to find the second prince.

If Xiao Jinyan came forward to tell Taifu Qin, he would not believe it, and it would be better for him to come forward.

This face, he didn't sell it to Xiao Jinyan, but Qin Yunshu.

If it weren't for the Qin Mansion and not for her father, he would ignore it.

It's just that he wants to know, Mrs. Qin has put his mind away and is no longer looking for it, what about Xiao Jinyan? Did the first emperor instruct Xiao Jinyan?

This whirlpool, except for the emperor's orders, any orders from others are against the emperor.

Xie Yunzhi's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he retracted it in an instant, his eyebrows were solemn, and then he got up.

As long as Qin Taifu withdraws, the Qin Mansion will be fine, and he doesn't care about others.

If Xiao Jin is looking for words, he knows which is more important and which is more serious.

Emperor Xian's Testament and Shu'er, which of the two, did he choose?

Xie Yunzhi curled the corners of his lips, chuckled, and left the study after a while.

In a moment's time, the dark guard returned.

"My lord, my subordinates brought a message to the Hou Mansion, and the Hou of Dingbei knows."

"Well, go down."

Xie Yunzhi waved his hand, and as soon as the secret guard retreated, he heard a sound of footsteps, and he was the chief steward of the house.

"My lord, the old lady has a cough."

Every late autumn and early winter, Mrs. Xie would cough frequently, and she couldn't get her breath up when it was serious.

Hou Mansion pampered
