Chapter 57: The Secret Council
Xuanying's actions startled both Xiang Yueqing and Xiujing.
The lake is not deep, only halfway up to Xuanying.
Even if Shen Liangdi is short, there should be no head.
Either they are in a hurry and can't stand up and drown.
Either that......
In the latter case, Xiang Yueqing didn't dare to think about it.
Xiujing also seemed to think of this, and hurriedly said: "I think Shen Liangdi is crazy, and she choked on water in a hurry to cause the accident." ”
Xiang Yueqing nodded, "There is indeed such a possibility." ”
Xiujing's tone was relaxed, and she looked at Xuanying who walked back to the shore and said, "If it's cold today, it's better for this adult to go outside and change his clothes quickly." ”
Xiang Yueqing looked at Wu Chen, Wu Chen nodded, and the group walked out.
Out of the Luo Garden, Xiang Yueqing asked, "By the way, I don't know if Xiao Liangdi's condition is better?" ”
Xiujing shook her head, "It's not good, I coughed up blood last night, and the crown princess summoned a medical officer to Ninghua Palace overnight to treat Xiao Liangdi." ”
Xiang Yueqing nodded and didn't say anything more.
When he came to the Chiwu Guard Office, Xuanying went to change his clothes.
Wu Chen was handling the official documents and pacing around the room to Yueqing.
"What did the lady think?"
Feeling that Xiang Yueqing's footsteps stopped, Wu Chen asked without raising his head.
Xiang Yueqing sat down and said, "The water in that pond and lake is not deep, but it is not impossible to drown people."
It's just that Shen Liangdi fell into the water and died, and the little maid who served her was beaten to death.
It is said that the crown princess has always had a reputation for benevolence, how could she give such a heavy hand?
As for the small courtyard where Shen Liangdi lives, it seems to have been cleaned up temporarily. ”
"A lot of the fixtures in the house are new."
Xuanying changed her clothes, walked into the house and said, "Except for a few large things that seem to be used often, other things seem to be added temporarily. ”
"Yes." Xiang Yueqing answered, "That's it, because the time is in a hurry, so I don't pay attention to it."
At first glance, I feel that there is a sense of disobedience in the whole.
In other words, Shen Liangdi's food and clothing in Luo Garden may not be as good as Xiujing said.
However, Shen Liangdi has been crazy for five years.
If you really want to start, there are many opportunities.
I really can't think of any reason to put her to death at this time. ”
"What if, Shen Liangdi isn't crazy?" Wu Chen suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Xiang Yueqing's eyes widened.
……
Ninghua Palace.
The maid Xiujing gave the crown princess Yang Yilan a cup of flower tea, "That's it today."
General Wu and Mrs. Wu didn't seem to say anything, but the slave always felt that they were not easy to get along with.
I'm afraid this matter is not over yet. ”
Yang Yilan spoke up, "Shen Shujing's death has nothing to do with me, I have nothing to fear."
I'm just afraid that if they investigate it closely, they will find something else. ”
Xiujing understood, "Don't worry, the princess, the imperial doctor who diagnosed Shen Liangdi back then has already returned to her hometown and lived in seclusion."
As for the people around Shen Liangdi, they also left the palace early.
Now, even Ah Shan is dead, who else knows the truth of the past? ”
Hearing Ah Shan's name, Yang Yi's blue eyes were slightly confused, "It's weird."
Ashan's girl never said much, and when she saw people, she buried her head in the ground and lowered her head.
was bullied, and he didn't dare to say a word.
But when I questioned her that day, she spoke ill of me, which was really incomprehensible. ”
Xiujing said: "I think the master died, so I want to die." ”
After a pause, Xiujing looked at Xiang Yang and said, "Otherwise, the crown princess will tell the queen about this matter."
The queen came forward to prevent Wu Lang from investigating with Mrs. Wu again? ”
Yang Yilan shook his head, "If I know my aunt, I will have to tell her everything about the future."
My aunt is shrewd, and she may not have hidden her guiltily.
There are some things that she can tolerate.
But there are some things that she probably can't tolerate.
Moreover, since Hongmin's incident, there has been a rift between my aunt and my father.
I'm caught in the middle, it's hard to do.
More is better than less, and you let people take away the tail over there. ”
Xiujing responded, "Yes, the slave will do it." ”
……
The carriage drove to the East Market.
Xiang Yueqing looked at the houses on both sides of the road and listened to Jiuxia Dao: "The people below found out that this nursery rhyme originally came from the mouth of a madwoman.
The crazy woman's family name is Jiao, and the Jiao family has been a trader for three generations, rooted in Dongshi.
The first two generations were okay, and they were all businessmen.
But when he arrived in Jiaochuan, he had a crooked heart, thinking that it was slow to open a store and make money, so he started to cheat and cheat.
was investigated and dealt with several times by the county government, and they all entrusted the relationship, and the silver taels were released.
said that he owed a lot of foreign debts, and someone went to the store to make trouble every now and then.
This crazy woman Jiao Li has been married for a few years, but she has not enjoyed the blessings, but she is busy apologizing to Jiao Chuan and losing money and cleaning up the mess.
When I heard that a stillborn baby was born a year ago, I went crazy.
The store is often closed and unattended.
But the strange thing is that after Jiao Li's madness, Jiao Chuan somehow developed.
Not only did he pay off his foreign debts, but he also ate and drank all day long, and spent money lavishly. ”
Xiang Yueqing asked strangely, "How can a madwoman make up nursery rhymes?" ”
Jiuxia smiled: "The minion thinks so too, so come and take a look." ”
Xiang Yueqing looked at Wu Chen, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.
But Xiang Yueqing knew that he wasn't asleep, he was just thinking about things.
"There is a lang, and there is a mother in the east......"
The carriage drove into the East Market, and the nursery rhyme sounded outside the window.
As Jiuxia said, it really spread widely.
The carriage stopped in front of a teahouse, Wu Chen and Xiang Yueqing got out of the car, and Jiu Xia went to find Na Jiao Chuan.
Xiang Yueqing looked up.
Twilight Teahouse again?
The last time I met Bo Zhi in the West City, he clashed with Yang Hongmin, and was rescued by King Liu.
Unexpectedly, there is also one in the East Market.
The two are about the same size, but the people staying in the lobby of the East Market are obviously more mixed.
asked for a private room, Wu Chen and Xiang Yueqing sat down, listening to the people in the lobby talking about it, while waiting for the news of Jiuxia.
Hyun Ying lit incense in the box.
A faint fragrance penetrates into the nose.
Xiang Yueqing secretly complained that Wu Chen was too hypocritical.
I don't know how long it took, but before he could return to Jiuxia, Xiang Yueqing's eyelids drooped.
A thick sleepiness came up, and Xiang Yueqing quickly lay on the table.
Wu Chen got up, picked up Xiang Yueqing, and gently placed him on the small couch behind the screen.
covered Xiang Yueqing with a thin quilt, and turned the charcoal fire in the stove a little hotter.
As soon as he stepped out of the screen, a figure was already sitting in his previous seat.
The figure squeezed his eyebrows at Wu Chen, "Yo, it's rare to see Chen Mu serving people, it's rare."
If Mother knew, she would definitely want to be anxious to see what kind of ability this Xiang Yueqing has, so that Chen Mutou is so fascinated. ”
Wu Chen sat down opposite, his tone was not good, "There is not much medicine added to the incense, if you have something to say, get out of here!" ”
The figure didn't care and smiled, "Guess who I saw at Bai Muda's house?" ”
Wu Chen said: "Bai Muda is the brother of the noble concubine, the son of the prime minister, and serves as the squire of the military department.
The Bai family is prominent, and those who can enter and leave his house are either relatives or cronies.
You came to me to tell me about it, did you see someone who shouldn't have been? ”
"It's not fun!" The figure smiled and pouted, "That's right, I just saw someone who shouldn't have appeared." ”
After a pause, the figure spit out three words, "Xiao Wenhe!" ”
