Chapter 81: The Emperor's Chess Game

Zhuang Siyan didn't care, just looked at this person and looked carefully.

When Wen Qing gave the wine to Ling Tiancheng and put it in front of him, his hand flashed in front of Zhuang Siyan's eyes: "Such a handsome little daughter-in-law, how did you kidnap her?" ”

Ling Tiancheng still didn't speak, and also looked at him.

"Okay, I know you're in a hurry, Wember has already gone to get it, can you drink with me now?"

Ling Tiancheng didn't insist, he really picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

When he put down the cup, Wen Qing had already moved his gaze to Zhuang Siyan's face: "It's not easy to be brought out by you, which girl is this?" ”

"Yan'er." He replied simply.

Wen Qing's hand paused, and then looked at Zhuang Siyan's gaze changed a little, and his voice was not like the teasing just now: "The banker's? ”

"Hmm"

Wen Qing didn't say anything more, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he silently drank the wine in his cup.

There were only a few words of their conversation, but they conveyed a very different message to Zhuang Siyan.

First, the man in front of him is important;

Second, this man is helping Ling Tiancheng do something, and he is doing some very special things, it may be like himself, only one inside and one outside.

Third, the man has a close relationship with him, and the two seem to be more than just friends.

But the two men, apart from their friend Zhuang Siyan, can't think of anything, what special relationship will they have?

A few minutes later, Wen Bo arrived and handed a file to Ling Tiancheng.

He didn't look at it, just took the thing over, and handed it to Zhuang Siyan.

Wen Qing's face changed significantly, and his mouth opened, but he didn't speak.

Ling Tiancheng didn't stay here for long, got up and said, "Yan'er is also investigating this case, she is a detective I specially invited, if there is any news in the future, you can communicate with her." ”

Wen Qing's brows furrowed even tighter, but he still told Wen Bo, which probably meant that Zhuang Siyan would come in in the future, and he didn't have to stop him.

After this matter was done, Ling Tiancheng and the two of them came out of the Wen Mansion.

Zhuang Siyan's curiosity, which had been held back for a long time, finally tensed, and pestered Ling Tiancheng to ask: "What's the situation, I see that the relationship between the two of you is not shallow!" ”

Ling Tiancheng said simply: "His name is Wen Qing, and he will find out the news outside the palace, if you leave the palace in the future, you don't have to go to anyone's mansion to take risks, just report the information you want to know to him, and he will assist you." ”

Zhuang Siyan blinked: "So he is also your client?" So what kind of existence is he? ”

Ling Tiancheng didn't wait for her to ask, he just said, "I know what you want to ask, he has some information in his hands, and he also has a lot of eyeliner, but some things are still difficult to figure out. ”

This is a little vague, and Zhuang Siyan doesn't agree with it.

However, she didn't refute Ling Tiancheng on the spot, but chose to go back and look at the things in her hand first.

The strange thing is that the case that Wen Qing gave her was not Zhuang Changyuan's at all, but Ling Tiancheng's, and it was the disaster relief money that Zhuang Siyan had been secretly investigating.

Zhuang Siyan was a little uncomfortable.

Although this case belonged to Ling Tiancheng, if she could start the investigation after Zhuang Changyuan's case, she would probably get another sum of money from Ling Tiancheng's hands.

But now she didn't have any eyebrows, and she didn't plan to make it public, and she didn't even put much effort into it, she just thought about it, but Ling Tiancheng already knew that she was investigating.

With this kind of insight, coupled with a good hand like Wen Qing, can you really use the detective Zhuang Siyan?

Perhaps in Zhuang Changyuan's case, he already has reliable evidence and clues.

But why did he involve Zhuang Siyan?

Zhuang Siyan suddenly had the feeling that they were all chess pieces, and he arranged them at will in Ling Tiancheng's big chess game, as for where they would go in the future, it seemed that they had their own destiny, but in fact, the results were in Ling Tiancheng's hands.

Just like those harem concubines, they are usually still competing for favor, fighting for who will climb up to Ling Tiancheng's dragon couch first, but in fact, they are all people who are manipulated by him at will, even if they are favored, it is useless.

This discovery had a great impact on Zhuang Siyan, almost suppressing her enthusiasm, and in the next few days, she almost stayed at home, not wanting to investigate the case or see anyone.

Ling Tiancheng would still come to see her when he returned to the Xuan Hall every day, but Zhuang Siyan didn't want to see her, so he pushed Lan Xin twice, and then later, she simply calculated that he was almost back, so he went out for a walk and didn't go back until late at night.

She walked outside for a long time that night, and she couldn't stand the cold, and when she turned around to go back, she saw a small palace person hurriedly walking over here: "Concubine Wan, the Queen Mother, please go to Ningshou Palace." ”

Dowager?

Zhuang Siyan was stunned for a moment.

She has no personal relationship with Empress Dowager An, and the more she gets acquainted with her, the more she can feel that Empress Dowager An doesn't like her.

Thinking about going to the cold palace at the beginning, it should have been instructed by Ling Tiancheng, but Zhuang Siyan misunderstood it at that time.

Invite her now? It's not very reasonable, and it's even more unreasonable to be able to find her here.

The more unreasonable the thing, the more likely it is that something is hidden, so Zhuang Siyan didn't say much, and followed the people of Xiaogong to Ningshou Palace.

As soon as she reached the door, she heard the sound of the piano.

Qingyue moving, such as a prosperous transit, a hundred birds stop.

Miao Guifei is here.

Zhuang Siyan thought, could it be that Concubine Miao wanted to see her?

This Miao Guifei looked just beautiful and cold, but Ling Tiancheng had reminded her many times and asked her to stay away from her.

This is enough to show that this woman is not simple.

In fact, even if Ling Tiancheng didn't remind her, Zhuang Siyan knew that she was powerful, just from the fact that she was the only concubine in the harem, she could think of it, and it was the kind that no one dared to trouble her.

It's just that she was confused by the beauty and tried her best to suppress her guesses.

But tonight, the two of them invited her here, and they definitely didn't invite her to do a homework.

She stood at the door for a while, and the little palace man asked, "Why didn't Niangniang go in?" Is the Queen Mother still waiting? ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Okay, let's go in, I just heard that the sound of the piano inside was too beautiful, so I stood here and listened to it for a while." ”

The little palace man immediately said: "If you listen to it, you have to go in and listen to it, why are you still standing in the cold wind at the door to listen?" ”

Zhuang Siyan smiled at him: "What you said makes sense. ”

Zhuang Siyan's feet were raised, and when he saw a group of people in the distance also walking towards this side, he stopped again and looked that way.

When I got closer, I saw clearly that it was Mi Yueqing who came over there with a few palace people.

Although Zhuang Siyan didn't see her much, he felt that this person was different from others, so he went over and grabbed her hand and asked, "It turned out to be Sister Yueqing, where did you come from so late?" ”

Mi Yueqing was also a little surprised to see her here, but there were too many chaos in the palace, so she didn't ask, only replied to her question: "Today is the fifteenth day of the winter month, I will go to the palace to chant a sutra and put a few pillars of incense." ”

"Oh, it's still my sister's sincerity, so are you going back now?"

"Well, go back."

Zhuang Siyan smiled and said: "You just happened to pass by the Xuan Hall when you went back, and called Lan Xin in the past, saying that I was wearing less when I came out, and I was afraid that it would be cold when I went out of the Queen Mother's palace later, so she asked her to bring me a fox fur cloak." ”

Mi Yueqing nodded and said, "Okay, sister, don't worry, I will definitely pass it on." ”

After saying a few words here, the people of Xiaogong were impatient for a long time, and when they heard the two of them pause, they hurriedly interjected and said: "Concubine Wanniang, come in quickly, don't let the Queen Mother wait." ”

Zhuang Siyan and Mi Yueqing shook hands and went to Ningshou Palace, and Mi Yueqing also went to Xuandian.

Sure enough, Miao Guifei was also here, sitting peacefully on the couch and playing with the strings.

She is half-sideways, but she is not as cold as usual, but she is a little charming, which is very seductive.

Empress Dowager An sat on the other side, and when she saw Zhuang Siyan coming, the expression on her face was also cold.

Zhuang Siyan went over to salute her, and she lazily replied: "Get up, it's Miao'er who wants to see you, saying that it was the birthday banquet of the mourning family that day, and I didn't have a good chat with you, which is a little regrettable." ”

Zhuang Siyan took two steps towards Concubine Miao, and said with a smile, "Does my sister really think so?" ”

Miao Guifei's slightly narrowed eyelids raised a little, and when she looked at her, there was a coldness inside.

"Of course, I heard that my sister dances very well, and I've always wanted to make a song with you, I wonder if my sister is willing?"

Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "I don't know how to dance, sister Mo believes in rumors." ”

"Zhuang Xiang's daughter Siyan, the capital has excellent dancing skills, even if such a rumor is a little false, but my sister said that she can't and shouldn't be at all, right? Don't you bother to jump to me? ”

The essence of Miao Guifei was revealed, and she was a little aggressive.

Zhuang Siyan didn't turn her face at this time because she hadn't seen where her strength was, but she really couldn't dance, so it was a little embarrassing to stand at this time.

smiled and said, "I really can't dance today, my body is not good, why don't I sing a song to my sister?" ”

Concubine Miao stabbed her again: "It's not that I know that my sister is also accomplished in music." ”

"I can't say what I can say, but I can still hum two popular songs."

The pop songs in Zhuang Siyan's mouth almost made Miao Guifei faint.

What are you singing when she is singing, it is the enduring divine comedy "Nunchuck", which was once popular all over the country and sung by countless primary and secondary school students.

She sang and performed at the same time, and casually pulled a flower branch in the vase of the Empress Dowager An, and threw the water, flowers and leaves all over the house.

Miao Guifei's face turned green, and she stopped before she finished singing.

Zhuang Siyan hadn't had such fun for a long time since he crossed here, and asked while waving his hand, "What's wrong, sister?" Doesn't it sound good? Let me tell you, this is the most popular song in recent years, and if anyone can't hum two sentences, they don't deserve to be a primary school student ....... ”

Well, these words, Miao Guifei can't understand either.

She felt that she might have met a madman, and it was better to send him away.

The palace people next to him came into contact with Concubine Miao's gaze, so they brought a cup of tea.

"My sister sang hard just now, first drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat, rest for a while, I still have something to ask you."

Miao Guifei's words were intimate, but her eyes were cold, and she decided that Siyan of her tea house did not dare not drink it.

Zhuang Siyan really took the teacup, sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and a hint of an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
