Having said this, Zhuang Siyan almost understood.

Ling Tiancheng's biggest purpose in keeping Zhuang Changyuan was probably to find out the cause of his mother's death.

But later, Ling Tiancheng still added something: "Of course, there is also his affection for raising and teaching me.

After my mother's concubine was gone, my father sent me out of the palace and to the Zhuangfu.

It's ridiculous to say, since ancient times, only other people's children have been sent to the palace, and I am the first one to send the prince outside the palace to be raised by others. ”

Ling Tiancheng smiled, that smile opened a thin gap on his originally cold face, and through that gap, Zhuang Siyan saw not the sun, but a heart that was colder than his current one.

She used some force, grabbed Ling Tiancheng's hand, and even picked up his hand and stroked it to her cheek.

And Ling Tiancheng quickly put away that smile and sighed lightly: "The previous time, there was indeed a suspicion of repaying the favor, and this time, it was indeed for you."

Although you don't remember him now, you are the daughter of the dealer after all, and you were with your father before......

I don't want you to remember this one day and have any hatred for me.

That's all, it won't be ...... again. ”

Zhuang Siyan understood.

Ling Tiancheng gave Zhuang Changyuan two chances, so far, this old man has used up his opportunities, unless he doesn't commit any more crimes in Ling Tiancheng's hands in his life, he shouldn't be soft again.

Strictly speaking, as an emperor, it is rare to be able to do this part.

However, what happened to Ling Tiancheng was very rare from the beginning, and his life was never different from ordinary people.

As for his mother's death, he didn't say anything about it later, and Zhuang Siyan didn't ask about it, but she always felt that only Zhuang Changyuan knew about it.

The harem is the emperor's place, even if Zhuang Changyuan knows some things, but in the final analysis, everything happens here, and the people here always know better than the people outside the palace.

It's just that the truth is in the hands of a few.

The two of them talked a lot that night, and at last they were very tired, and lay their heads on the couch, and when they fell asleep, it was already faintly light outside.

Li Fu didn't ask Ling Tiancheng to get up and go to the court on time, anyway, he hadn't been up for a long time since he went south, so it wasn't a bad day.

Originally, after a long journey, they should have had a good rest when they came back, but not only did these two people not rest, but they also worked all day.

This made Li Fu admire their energy and worry about Ling Tiancheng's body, so he spontaneously went to Nanchen Gate to inform the ministers.

Although the emperor has returned, he is too tired and has to rest for two days before he can go to court.

As a result, when he returned to the Xuan Palace, Ling Tiancheng had already woken up, and was dressed neatly, looking like he was going out.

Li Fu hurriedly caught up: "Your Majesty ......"

"I know, not to go to the court, to go to the Chenxi Palace."

Li Fu lightly took the sweat on his head and hurriedly followed him out.

By the time Zhuang Siyan got up, it was almost noon, she stretched out on the bed, looked at the empty half of the bed, thought for a while, and then slowly got up from the bed.

I ate some snacks slowly, followed by a pot of fruit, and then slowly changed my clothes.

Lan Xin's face wrinkled as soon as she saw that she had taken a set of men's clothes: "Miss, are you going to leave the palace again?" ”

Zhuang Siyan looked back at her, and suddenly said with a sense of happiness: "Father has been out for so long, and there is no news at all, so I don't know how it is going to be at this time?" I'll go out and find out. ”

Lan Xin's mouth opened and closed again, and after reaching out to help Zhuang Siyan tidy up, he never spoke again.

Zhuang Siyan went out of the palace without anyone as usual, took the waist card given to her by Ling Tiancheng, and as soon as she left the palace gate, she went straight to Zhuang Changyuan's house.

All the valuables in the house were emptied, and one empty house was left to be watched by the Praetorian Guards.

Zhuang Siyan took out a holy decree, showed it to the gatekeeper, and then entered through the main gate.

This holy decree was written by Ling Tiancheng when Zhuang Siyan took over Zhuang Changyuan's case, and it clearly stated that as long as anyone related to this case, she could see it, and she could go anywhere.

Zhuang Siyan later thought that this thing was really better than a pass, no matter where she went, even if she lied, this matter was related to Zhuang Changyuan, then no one else would stop her.

After a spring and a half summer, the village house is now desolate and unsightly.

The garden and paths, which are usually cleaned, are now covered with weeds.

The weeds were so strong that they squeezed out all the flowers that had been raised in the house, and only a thin and weak one grew, and even the flowers were carefully opened, which was very pitiful.

Zhuang Siyan kicked the grass on the road and walked forward slowly, looking around with his eyes not missing any details.

There were traces of trampling on the side of the road, the dust on the door had also been moved, and some weeds had been trampled off, and there were traces of old and new.

People often come in this place, and they naturally don't come to clean it, or take a casual look, maybe they are looking for something like Zhuang Siyan.

Will it be Wen Qing?

Ling Tiancheng said that he handed over the case to Zhuang Siyan, but in fact, he didn't hide it from Wen Qing, and asked him to assist her in many things.

And because she went to the south by herself for a few months, Zhuang Changyuan fled again, and it stands to reason that he should come here.

But apart from him, will anyone else have also visited?

Will Zhuang Changyuan come?

This idea, she quickly denied.

If there is something in the Zhuang house that must be taken away, then the sons of the Zhuang family should all be taken away, and now that the Praetorian Guards are guarding the door, even if Zhuang Changyuan knows some kung fu, he should not take this risk.

After walking around the main courtyard, Zhuang Siyan began to walk into the backyard.

When she came last time, she found out Zhuang Changyuan's bedroom, and she also went in to see it, but she didn't find any suspicious clues at that time.

Come again today, this important place, I still have to go in and have a look.

Zhuang Changyuan's residence is a single courtyard, which is larger than other courtyards.

There are many exotic flowers and plants planted in it, and there is also a pond and rockery.

When he first raided his house, Zhuang Siyan could still see fish swimming in the water, and he didn't know what the old man Zhuang was doing, so he insisted that the water in this small pool would not freeze in winter.

But now when I came back, there was nothing in it, the water was muddy, there were a few fallen leaves floating in it, and in the chaotic water, even the shadows could not be seen.

The rockery is also overgrown with grass, and when you look at it from a distance, there is another greenery.

This courtyard has a main house, an east and west house, a study, and all kinds of places that Zhuang Siyan can't name.

In the past, there were some Zhuang Changyuan's private collections, as well as books and the like, and of course, there was a room in the east room, where almost nothing was placed, only a large bed.

At that time, I heard that this place was dedicated to sleeping in the concubines' room.

Old man Zhuang made himself like an emperor, sleeping by himself is a place, with the concubines, and there is a special room.

In other words, no one else is allowed to enter the place where he sleeps.

At this time, Zhuang Siyan followed the path in the courtyard, and when she walked forward, she was extra careful, in addition to observing the existing details, she also had to guard against whether there was anyone inside.

Judging by the broken part of the weed, it was not long ago that someone had visited this place.

Her hand was on her waist, and there was a gun she got from Ye Yuanpei, if someone really attacked, she would unceremoniously kill the other party.

It was quite calm, she walked from the gate of the courtyard to the edge of the porch, and no one appeared.

There are also footprints on the ground under the porch, and they are particularly clear, judging by the length, they should be men, not a person.

Zhuang Siyan looked at the footprints carefully, and after almost estimating a size, he walked inside.

The seal on the door has been moved, and the lock has been moved.

In addition, there was a handprint on the door, which was obviously pressed on it after it was stained with dust.

Zhuang Siyan stood in front of the handprint and looked at it for a long time, and finally missed this place, climbed in through the window next to him, and tore a piece of the corner of his clothes when he entered, padding his fingers.

Zhuang Changyuan's bedroom is very magnificent, and the atmosphere of the construction is not only that the things in it are now emptied, but also that it was once extraordinary.

There was a table under the east window, on which were scattered a few books, as well as pen and ink, which should not be valuable, so no one moved, and it was also covered with ash at this time.

Next to the table was a Taishi chair with a brocade cloth on it.

The western piercing is empty.

Walking further inside, I saw Zhuang Changyuan's bed.

The style is very ordinary bed, but I smell the fragrance on it from a distance, and if you look closely, it is a good pear blossom wood.

To say that this Zhuang Changyuan is really more extravagant than the emperor, Ling Tiancheng has never used such a high-profile object, and the dragon couch is just an ordinary bed, if it is not used to the word "dragon", it is really nothing rare.

I don't know if this bed was deliberately kept, or if no one knows how valuable it is, and it is also a miracle that no one has touched it until now.

Zhuang Siyan looked around the bed, tried to knock on the wooden board on it, and finally put his hand on the side of the bed and pressed it tentatively a few times.

The hidden compartment under the bed is opened.

It was empty, and there were even some cobwebs, but judging from the signs of wear, it should have been something in the past, and it was something that was often taken in and out.

I tried to knock on the wall and the ground a few times, but I found nothing else.

Zhuang Siyan had also been staying here for most of the day, and he was even hungry at this time, so he didn't continue to check.

When she came out of the village, she first went to a small courtyard, and when she saw that the master's family was chopping wood in the yard, she said hello casually and walked inside.

The sweaty man who chopped wood, a few minutes after she entered the house, also put away the firewood knife and entered the house.

Zhuang Siyan said: "Recently, I went to Zhuang Mansion to stare at it to see what people often go in and out of. ”

She took the tea brought by Khan Zi, and put a bag of silver in his hand by the way.

Khan Zi excused himself and said: "Si Gongzi is polite, I am willing to help you do things." ”

Zhuang Siyan smiled lightly: "You still have to eat the rice, take it, save it, don't spend it all, when you meet the girl you like, you won't have the money to marry back." ”

When the sweaty man heard this, a flush of red flushed on his originally dark face.

He didn't speak again, put the silver into his sleeve, and then asked Zhuang Siyan: "Do you want me to stop him?" ”

"No, you just need to see who went in and tell me, the focus is on Old Man Zhuang's house."
