"Seeing that you are so confident, you must have an idea about your uncle's affairs?" Hua Xiyan raised his eyebrows, looked at the lazy man, and blinked.

"It's just a very simple matter, since Ning Xi thinks that the batch of gold is missing, and it has been paid by the army, as long as he knows that this matter has nothing to do with his uncle." Yun Qi's voice was light, still as pleasant as the flow of spring water.

Hua Xiyan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Yun Qi meant: "Then according to your meaning, who is the most appropriate?" ”

"It's not just related to the military, but it's something that the Holy Heaven can't mess with, who else do you think?" Yun Qi raised his eyebrows and spoke, and nodded to the end.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this? After all, the Li family has a lot of things to do inside. ”

"This matter has nothing to do with the Li family, if the Li family forcibly intervenes, I am afraid that it will make Ning Xi even more unhappy."

Hua Xiyan thought about it for a while, nodded, so he didn't think much about it, and waited for the good news to come with peace of mind.

Since Ning Yu was inexplicably ill at the banquet that day, Hua Xiyan hadn't seen him, but she really didn't have anything to worry about, after all, she naturally had a way to solve the medicine that Yang Jinrong dispensed.

He Lanyue has always been in the palace, so she will come to play with Hua Xiyan every day. One day, when the two were looking at the maple leaves on a certain mountain, they suddenly heard a greeting from behind them.

The two of them turned their heads and saw the figure that seemed to be weak.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Hua Xiyan bowed his head lightly and saluted at He Lanli.

The mountain wind lifted He Lanli's robe, and the slightly wide robe was now tightly attached to his body, outlining his slender figure, as if the next moment, he would return with the wind.

Hua Xiyan's eyes were squinted by the wind, and He Lanyue couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw this, and said to He Lanli: "Brother Crown Prince, Princess Jin is a little unwell now, I wonder if I can borrow the Crown Prince's brother's bedroom to rest for a while?" ”

Hua Xiyan looked sideways at He Lanyue, and saw her smiling lightly at herself, so she looked at He Lanli silently.

"This ......" He Lanli seemed to be a little embarrassed, "Princess Jin is a female dependent, if she goes to my palace, I'm afraid it won't be good......"

"With the imperial sister and I by my side, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still have any fears?" He Lanyue narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly.

The shallow smile that Helan Li had just brought slowly disappeared, and he didn't speak immediately, as if he was thinking about it seriously, but when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a person who looked like a palace maid behind him: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Niangniang said today that Miss Biao has entered the palace, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to meet guests." ”

He Lanli sighed, and then looked at the two of them apologetically.

"Since that's the case, then don't bother the crown prince and brother." He Lanyue said, pulled Huaxi Yan and took another trail down the mountain.

Hua Xiyan looked at He Lanyue's side face with a very solemn expression, and couldn't help asking, "But is there anything wrong?" ”

He Lanyue nodded: "I didn't think much before, but from what happened at the banquet last time, I felt that something was wrong." ”

"Are you referring to Yan Ling's matter?" Hua Xiyan asked, "Was Yan Ling recommended by Helan Li to enter the palace?" ”

He Lanyue's eyebrows frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "No, Yan Ling was recommended by me." ”

Hua Xiyan was slightly stunned, He Lanyue is a person from Tongwu Mountain, and Yan Ling has stayed in the Valley of Returning Souls, He Lanyue recommended him to say the past, but he should be He Lanyue's person, how could he drug her for the Holy Heavenly People? Is it just because of his brother's business?

"So you think Yan Ling is the prince's person now?" Hua Xiyan pondered for a moment and asked what he was thinking.

He Lanyue nodded admittedly: "After all, I recommended it at the beginning, if something happens, it is I who is responsible, once I fall off the horse, my third emperor brother and eighth emperor brother will have to follow the bad luck, except for Concubine He in Xiling, I really can't think of anyone who wants to get rid of our three brothers and sisters." ”

"That's why you said you were going to the prince's dormitory to ......"

"I'll go see if there's anything wrong that proves that Yan Ling and Concubine He are in collusion." He Lanyue sighed lightly, "After all, it's my guess anyway now." ”

Hua Xiyan's footsteps stopped suddenly, He Lanyue looked at her puzzledly, and listened to her: "Since that's the case, let's go and have a look, it just so happens that I also want to know what kind of person Concubine He is." ”

The skills of the two are not low, and they easily evaded the detection of a group of secret guards and infiltrated the backyard of Helan Li's palace.

The cat waited under the back wall of the palace in the back garden, and before the two of them could enter, they heard a lot of talking from inside.

"You said that Helan Yue's girl is coming to our palace?" It was a young woman's voice, not as delicate and beautiful as an ordinary woman, but a little low.

"Back to my mother's words, exactly." A palace maid replied, listening to the voice, it was the palace maid who was behind He Lanli just now.

So Hua Xiyan instantly understood that the first person to speak was Concubine He.

"She and we have always been inseparable from each other before, but this time ......"

"I heard that Princess Jin is unwell." The palace maid said.

Hua Xiyan heard Concubine He's "um", and then there was no sound for a long time.

Hua Xiyan raised his head and looked around, and saw that the palace was surrounded by lush trees, and golden glazed tiles could be seen shining in the shade. She looked around at the layout here, pondered for a moment, and pulled He Lanyue in another direction.

From the size of this palace, you can see the identity of Concubine He's favorite concubine. There were a lot of houses on this hill, and Hua Xiyan and He Lanyue walked cautiously, passing through an unknown number of corridors and arched bridges, and standing in front of a seemingly inconspicuous palace.

"What are you doing here?" He Lanyue looked at this palace and was a little puzzled.

Hua Xiyan glanced around at the stone bridge and wooden fence in the courtyard, and definitely spoke: "As soon as I came in, I found that Concubine He's palace was arranged in the order of the five elements and eight trigrams. Looking at Xiling, Jin Zhewen is also, this must be where He Lanli's study is located. ”

He Lanyue was a little surprised. After first knowing the layout of Concubine He's courtyard, she had a headache, because she didn't know what the house was for, and she once wanted to find the location of the study, because the study must be a place where the ciphertext was hidden.

Unexpectedly, Hua Xiyan could easily calculate it according to the direction of the five elements and gossip.

Just thinking about it, Hua Xiyan had already pushed open a window and jumped in as light as a swallow.

The layout inside is no different from that of a normal study, except for a desk, there are countless huge bookshelves, and there seems nothing strange about it.

Hua Xiyan walked over to take a look, and found that what was spread out on the table was just Xiling's ordinary twists and turns, which He Lanli had to help Emperor Zeyou approve as the crown prince. And then I looked through a few books, and I didn't see anything wrong.

He Lanyue's movements were very fast, and she carefully searched for them one by one on the Bogu shelf next to her, and did not let go of any grid, but she still found nothing.

Hua Xiyan turned his head and was attracted by a painting hanging on the wall.

He Lanyue, who had nothing to gain, walked over, saw Hua Xiyan staring at the painting above, and sighed lightly: "This is the sister of the crown prince's brother, who died in his birth." ”

Hua Xiyan knew that He Lanli was a twin, and the two children were also ill-fated, the baby girl died in her lifetime, and He Lanli was also sick since she was a child.

The painting depicts a woman holding a small baby in her arms, half of the child's face hidden in swaddling clothes, and the woman is looking down at the baby in her arms. The head is half drooping, and it looks very beautiful.

The woman's face was not real, a strand of hair hanging down from her cheeks, quiet and gentle.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Helan Yue saw Hua Xiyan standing still in front of the painting for a long time, and gently pushed her.

Hua Xiyan shook her head, she couldn't say why she was staring at such a painting, but she always felt ...... There's something weird about it.

The wide sleeves on the woman's wrist hung down, revealing a white Haowan, and there was a small flower on the wrist, which was half-hidden and half-visible in the light veil, which was not very obvious.

"But did you find anything?"

He Lanyue shook her head: "Not yet." ”

Thinking of the painting in Qifeng Palace, Hua Xiyan couldn't help but reach out and touch it, but behind this painting was only a solid wall, and there was no mechanism.

Walking slowly to the bed, Hua Xiyan leaned on the window and looked out inadvertently, suddenly stunned.

After not hearing Hua Xiyan's movement for a long time, He Lanyue stepped forward a little strangely, followed Hua Xiyan's gaze and looked outside, and was stunned for a moment.

It is true that the palace of Xiling is seen on the mountain, but they never imagined that this study room was actually built on the edge of the cliff, and they couldn't see the bottom at all.

"I've never heard of such a place in Concubine He's palace." He Lanyue was a little stunned, "How could my father agree to build this study in such a dangerous place?" ”

Hua Xiyan looked down steadily, the steaming clouds reflected in her watery eyes, as if it was a huge whirlpool, to completely absorb her soul.

"Can you go down?"

The sound of Hua Xiyan was very soft, so light that it almost blended into the clouds outside.

He Lanyue looked at the distance and shook his head: "It is estimated that no one can go down except for the senior brother." ”

As soon as the words fell, Hua Xiyan immediately turned around and walked outside. She was going back to find Yun Qi now, and she was going down this cliff to take a look.

Although the matter of Xiling has nothing to do with her, although this concubine is not within her jurisdiction, there seems to be a faint force at the bottom of this cliff, pulling her, attracting her, and leading her to go down to take a look, to see if there is any secret hidden at the bottom of this abyss.
