Chapter 54
An Shuli felt that this matter was very important, and he didn't delay for a moment, he didn't even have time to tie the cloak and ribbon, he only reached out and took the cloak, and put it on his body as he walked.
Soon came to the gate of the East Palace, and the gatekeeper saw that it was him, and hurriedly invited him to Yunchi's study.
After the fifth prince and Mei Shuyu left, Yun Chi picked up Mei Shuyan's secret letter again and read it carefully. I have a way to deal with it in my head.
Steward Fu reported that Anshu was leaving, Yun Chi put down the secret letter and ordered, "Please leave the book." ”
An Shuli was in a hurry all the way, but because of the internal strength of martial arts, he didn't sweat, he pushed open the door of the study, and saw that although Yun Chi's face was not very good, his expression was the same as before, and he regained his composure, he took a deep breath and saluted Yun Chi.
Yun Chi raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "What's so urgent?" What's the news? ”
He didn't dare to pray for news that it was Huayan.
An Shuli closed the door of the study and said to Yun Chi, "My mother just remembered something, and I think I should tell you as soon as possible." My mother said that she had seen Mrs. Wu Weihou wear gold cufflinks in the past, because she had been dead for five years, a bit of a long time, she had been thinking about being a living person, but she had never thought about a dead person, since she heard that someone had robbed the crown princess with a fake Su Zi, she thought a little more, and remembered Mrs. Wu Weihou. ”
Yun Chi was stunned, as An Shuli's general expression when he heard this at first, and stared at An Shuli, "Is this serious?" ”
An Shuli immediately said, "My mother definitely won't lie, and she is not a person who talks nonsense, I once said that I have seen it, but I can't remember who made me have this memory, today I heard my mother mention Mrs. Wu Weihou, let me also think about it carefully, I remembered in a trance, it seems that the person in my impression is Mrs. Wu Weihou." Because it is my very small memory, and I passed away for five years, I don't remember, my mother said that she only saw her wear it once, about the gold cufflinks are special, so that she has this impression for more than ten years. ”
Yun Chi pursed her lips after hearing this, searching for her own memories, in her own memory, she didn't seem to see it, but Princess Anyang has a cheerful and straightforward temperament, and she is indeed not a person who likes to talk nonsense, especially this matter is important, and she will not talk nonsense at will. Although An Shuli has a weak impression, he has been smart since he was a child and has a good memory, since the two of them have seen their aunt wear this cufflink, then, nine times out of ten.
The commander was wearing gold silk cufflinks, I am afraid that it was the cufflinks of Mrs. Wu Weihou.
Yun Chi looked at An Shuli, "Last time you said that although cufflinks are common, gold wire cufflinks are not common?" ”
An Shuli bowed his head, "I said last time that twenty years ago, an old craftsman in Jiangnan Weaving melted gold wire with auspicious blood jade to make a gold silk blood jade cufflink with gold wire boiling sleeves and gold edges. ”
"So, that means that the gold cufflinks that my aunt wears are the same as the gold cufflinks worn by the commander behind her now?" Yun Chi asked.
An Shuli nodded, "The old craftsman died of illness, and the craftsmanship of gold wire cufflinks was lost." If the rumors are true, this is the one. ”
"Auntie......" Yun Chi twisted his thumb and forefinger lightly, spit out this title and swirled on the tip of his tongue for a long time before he said, "It would be nice if the princess remembered it for a few days." ”
When An Shuli thought that when he rushed to the East Palace all the way, he also thought of this sentence, if only her mother had remembered it for a few days. The old craftsman who weaved in Jiangnan gave the unique gold silk cufflinks to a benefactor, and he thought it was Mrs. Wuweihou.
When he thought of this that day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked him to check Jiangnan Weaving, who was the benefactor of the old craftsman? Because the old man is dead, the time is too long, and the time he has been tracking down is short, and he has not found out in front of him.
If his mother could have remembered it a few days earlier, if he could have found out earlier, perhaps, his eyes would have been on the Wuwei Marquis Mansion first. It is not because Su Zi was born in the Wuwei Hou Mansion, and the courtyard of the prince of the Wuwei Hou Mansion is separated by a wall from the Wuwei Hou Mansion, so he is too relieved about that place.
As long as he knew about this matter a few days earlier, then he would have checked in advance why Mrs. Wu Weihou's golden cufflinks were worn by the commander? can also ask Wu Weihou or Su Zi in advance, and it is estimated that he will not be completely defenseless to let someone pretend to be Su Zi and rob the crown princess......
Thinking of this, he continued to think deeply, and suddenly said to Yun Chi, "Could that person be Su Ziqi?" ”
Yun Chiben was also thinking, and raised his eyes to look at An Shuli at this time.
An Shuli broke out in a cold sweat because of his thoughts, but he still said, "Is there no one who is disguised and pretended to be at all, and that person is Su Ziqi?" He actually wanted to rob the crown princess? If Mrs. Wu Weihou had worn gold cufflinks, I would have an impression, he had no reason and no impression, in addition, the plum blossom seal guard I brought back that day was interrogated by him, as for what was really interrogated, he may have concealed it, or rather, it was all him. After all, he is the only one who will not kill the crown princess. If this is the person behind it, hating the princess very much, if the princess really falls into his hands, with that person's cruel methods, he will definitely kill the princess. ”
Yun Chi's eyes were deep, and he quietly listened to An Shuli's words, and said to him, "In the northern land, when the commander fought with Hua Yan, when he used the dungeon to bury Hua Yan, and when Hua Yan used the source of spiritual power to save the people of Bei'an City, Su Zi was killed in the capital. You also heard it yesterday, he has already explained the industrial forces under his name over the years, and if he has any problems, he will hand them over to this palace. Do you think these things are really Su Zi's calculations? ”
An Shuli hesitated again when he heard this, "There was turmoil in the north last year, and I was not very clear about the flood management in the Sichuan River Valley. If His Royal Highness said so, then it wasn't Su Ziqi, who would it be from Wuwei Houfu? Such a precious gold wire cufflink, who did Mrs. Wu Weihou give it to? Left and right will not be sent out easily. ”
"I don't remember that my aunt has ever worn gold cufflinks, but I believe that the princess and you must have seen your aunt wear them. Zi Chu grew up with this palace since he was a child, although his temperament has changed again and again over the years, but he is loyal to Nanchu and the affairs of Sheji, and he will definitely not change. If he didn't have a good face, he would definitely not enter the court, but he would definitely not harm the palace, and he would just not deal with the palace. Yun Chi said in a deep voice, "As for the gold silk cufflinks, this palace will go and ask Master Hou." ”
An Shuli then remembered that Wu Weihou had come to the East Palace as a guest, and he nodded, "I should ask Master Hou." ”
Yun Chi stood up, "You are with Hongu." ”
An Shu left his head.
The two went out of the study together and went to the courtyard where Wu Weihou was placed.
After Wu Weihou had an accident with the emperor in the palace, he was invited to the East Palace by Yun Chi, and he didn't make any noise, and quietly obeyed Yun Chi's arrangement.
Although he was a guest, he was actually under house arrest, and he was not missing from eating and drinking.
Wu Weihou was thinking about when Yun Chi would see him, whether it was one or two days or three or five days, he thought that with his understanding of Yun Chi for so many years, it would probably be three or five days or more, but he didn't expect that Yun Chi would come to see him in just one day.
He stood up and saluted Yun Chi, his face calm, "His Royal Highness the Prince." The words fell, and he bowed his hand to the person behind Yun Chi, "Lord An." ”
An Shuli arched his hand, "Master Hou." ”
Yun Chi didn't sit down, staring at Wu Weihou in front of him, staring at every inch of his face without leaving any gaps, and he didn't speak.
Wu Wei Hou calmly stared at Ren Yunchi and asked, "I wonder if His Highness has found Zi Chu and the crown princess?" ”
Yun Chi was still silent, still looking at him, and what he saw the most was his eyes.
Even if a person deceives people, his eyes can't deceive people the most. But this is not absolute, people who can really deceive people, even their eyes can deceive people.
Such a frank look does not mean that it is not deceitful.
Yun Chi has always felt that Wu Weihou is thoughtful and incomprehensible, even at this moment, he is standing in front of him, let him see it thoroughly, he still feels. But he showed loyalty and calmness everywhere, for so many years, except for the disgraceful thing that happened when he married Liu Fuxiang in the inner courtyard of his Hou Mansion, he followed the courtiers to occasionally pretend to be confused, and he did nothing to endanger the society of the country.
In his memory, he was really good to his aunt, and he was really good to Su Ziqi, and he never gave up looking for a miracle doctor for him, even if Tian Buzhi was his former rival in love, and he was the person his aunt had in mind, but for the sake of his son, he also did it. He is also very supportive of the imperial power of Southern Chu, and he has always assisted him since his father was the crown prince.
Every time the emperor mentions Wu Weihou, he only says that he is obviously a smart person, but some things are a little confused, but people are not perfect, and he would rather be a foolish courtier than too smart, and it is difficult to control.
Now, he looked at Wu Weihou and stared at him for a long time, thinking about a smart and confused person.
He stood with his hands in his hands, his voice was calm and warm, as indifferent as ever, with a hint of careless coldness, "Aunt has a gold cufflink, does Master Hou know where she went?" ”
