Chapter 63: The Secret Man

Yixuan sat down on the kang near the window, glanced at the outside wall, and there was no one, so she smiled and said to Ping Niang: "Tell me about it." ”

Ping Niang clasped her hands and leaned closer and said, "Does the princess remember those two heads?" The slave asked several pawnshop shopkeepers, and they all said that the workmanship of this head was extremely fine, it was made of full gold, and the gems were also the best materials. ”

Yixuan nodded, motioning for her to continue.

However, although this face is precious, it is the style of several years ago - the queen mother Chengluan. Nowadays, the noble lady loves freshness and likes to take the paintings of the literati to the master of Fubao Pavilion. And the gold is a little dark, to say nothing for three or four years. Ping Niang said.

Yi Xuan thought for a moment after listening. Fubao Pavilion is arrogant, and only accepts orders from the five members of the imperial court. Obviously, a certain lady didn't want this face, so she gave it to the tea pot. But she didn't want her to find out the clues.

"Have you asked Fu Bao Pavilion? Can you know who hit this head? ”

Ping Niang frowned: "If only I could know!" The slave maid went to ask for a visit. The people of Fu Bao Pavilion said that this style was too common, and how many noble ladies came to fight back then, and they would burn the old year's accounts every year after checking the general ledger. Where can I find it now? ”

Yi Xuan was dumbfounded for a long time. In this way, the clue that was finally found was broken again.

Ping Niang looked at her with disappointment in her eyes, felt guilty in her heart, and knelt down in front of Yixuan with her knees: "It's the slave maid who is not doing well, the slave and maid will go back and investigate, and the person who slanders the princess's reputation will definitely be found out!" ”

"Hurry up." Yixuan held Ping Niang's arm and smiled to comfort her: "It's already good." When the man has made up his mind to harm me, he will not easily show his feet. Is the tea ou incense seal arranged? ”

Ping Niang looked at Yixuan gratefully and nodded: "Yes, the slave maid sent a few guards to send them to the concubine's mausoleum." The princess knows, the people in our palace are not bad, and it is enough to spy on them secretly. ”

"Okay." Ping Niang does things, Yixuan is still at ease. She thought for a while and said, "Don't continue to investigate the matter on that side, so as not to startle the snake." ”

"Yes." Ping Niang retired.

After a few days, the spring mood is at its strongest, and the flowers all over the yard are blooming. Duanwang's mansion contains good weeping begonias. Begonias are the most in Shu, but Duanwang loves to serve flowers and plants, and the begonias in the house do not lose the grand scenery in Shu.

The Qin family gave Yixuan a post and asked Yixuan to go to Duanwangfu to enjoy the flowers.

Zhao Zhen was quite puzzled: "Last time, King Duan invited me to comment on the score of the Saiwai song, which almost hurt you, why did you still go to the banquet?" ”

In his eyes, everyone is unfavorable to Yixuan, and his wife can only be safe if she stays in the house or follows him.

Yi Xuan was drawing her eyebrows with Luo Dai, and glanced at him with a smile: "I want to call Duanwang uncle, he won't mean to harm me, maybe it's a coincidence?" ”

What she thought in her heart was not to enter the tiger's den to get the tiger.

It's just inconvenient to tell him.

Zhao Zhen was still not at ease: "I'll accompany you." ”

Yixuan knew that he would not be willing to give up if he didn't agree to him, so he said, "It's okay, you go to see King Duan, and I will go to see Princess Duan." ”

Shuang'er helped Yixuan pick up her heart bun, hairpin a begonia red treasure sway, long black satin hair lined with red gems, and a pair of apricot gowns with begonias, light cyan pleated skirt, the whole person walked out, more charming than delicate flowers.

The couple arrived at Duanwang's Mansion together.

Duanwangfu is not as majestic as Yuwangfu, but the style is elegant, and every thing and scene is interesting. Walking on the verandah, you can see the rockery flowing water, the water flows slowly from high and low, the bamboo mat is laid on the shore, and the king of Duan often composes the water with his friends.

Yixuan pulled Zhao Zhen's sleeve, "Look, how elegant the Duanwang Mansion is." ”

Zhao Zhen was disdainful: "Rockeries and flowing water, don't we have them in our house?" ”

Although there is, it is not as ingenious and patterned as the Duanwang Mansion. Yixuan smiled, "Yes, we have it too." ”

Speaking of which, the Yuwang Mansion is twice as large as the Duanwang Mansion, so much so that Yixuan has not visited it once until now. Sometimes for a walk after dinner, Zhao Zhen pulled her to walk, and she was tired after a short time, and she never had the opportunity to go to the back garden of the palace to see.

The two were led to a two-story wooden building in the garden, surrounded by flowers and trees, and begonia flowers bloomed like clouds, and they were delicate. Yixuan couldn't help but praise a few words, and then heard someone answer: "If Princess Yu likes it, you can transplant a few plants to King Yu's mansion." ”

The person who spoke was none other than King Duan.

King Duan is nearly forty years old, but he looks very young, he is an elegant and handsome man, wearing a homely navy blue border dress, standing with Princess Duan, very compatible.

Yixuan hurriedly saluted: "I've seen my uncle." ”

Zhao Zhen also arched his hand.

Duanwang walked to the flowers and said with a smile: "I heard Ye Cheng say that your favorite is plum blossoms, and I have a lot of them here, if you like it, you can also move it together." ”

Ye Cheng is Zhao Zhen's cousin.

Yixuan smiled, "Although I like it, I won't play with these, don't waste the flowers in vain." Whenever I want to see it, come to my uncle. ”

King Duan glanced at Yixuan approvingly, "It's okay." ”

At this time, the Qin family came over and grabbed Yixuan's hand and smiled, "Come in, let's go up to the second floor and look through the window, the scenery is good!" ”

So they went upstairs, and the windows on all sides of the building were wide open, and the maidservants stood around. King Duan waved his hand and asked the maidservant to go down, and only the four of them talked and laughed.

After a while, King Duan was interested again, saying that he had a new emerald parrot and was very good at learning tongues, so he pulled Zhao Zhen and left. Only Yi Xuan and Qin were left.

The Qin family ordered the maidservant to take a banana leaf guqin, burn incense, bathe her hands in the golden basin, and then sit down, holding her breath and concentrating on a posture, and suddenly her hand flicked, and a burst of ethereal sound was struck.

This piano is an old thing of the ancient Song Dynasty, and the sound is simple and clear. Yixuan couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

Qin plays the old music of Yuefu, and his piano skills are indeed wonderful, comparable to the most sought-after pianist in the music workshop. After a song, Yi Xuan clapped his hands and smiled: "Sure enough, it is worthy of its reputation." ”

Qin smiled, "If you like it, you can come here to learn the piano from me." Although I am not proficient, I can still teach you. ”

"Okay. Auntie is not allowed to repent, I will apprentice. After Yi Xuan finished speaking, he really made a gesture to the Qin family, went to hold a cup of tea on the table, and handed it to the Qin family.

Qin Shi was slightly stunned, her face suddenly became strange, she pursed her lips and smiled again, "You are willing to learn from me, just accompany me to relieve my boredom." ”

She took Yixuan's tea and drank it all.

Zhao Zhen and Yixuan left after lunch in Duanwang's Mansion. On the carriage, Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, holding Yi Xuan's hand and rubbing it intricately, while saying: "I asked on the side today, and King Duan didn't seem to know that you entered the palace that day." ”

Yi Xuan guessed too.

"Forget it." Yixuan hugged the man and smiled obediently: "It's all over." ”

Zhao Zhen had the acumen of a general, and knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, but he still nodded and smiled.

Zhao Zhen went to Fusi in Beizhen in the afternoon. After Jiang Qibai and the others left, everyone in Fusi in Beizhen was in danger and stagnant, and he was busy rectifying in the past few days, spending a lot of energy.

Yixuan asked Shuang'er to question.

"Did you ask anything?"

When she was talking to the Qin family in the attic, Shuang'er secretly investigated in the Duanwang Mansion.

Intuition told Yi Xuan that the Qin clan must have a lot to do with that person. So when Qin offered to teach her how to play the piano, she readily agreed.

"Princess Duan is lying." Shuang'er's tone was affirmative.

Yixuan raised her eyebrows.

"The slave asked a few people in the house, and they all said that Princess Duan had not sorted out the dowry recently, and she had not opened the treasury."

Therefore, Princess Duan's explanation is just a cover-up.

Shuang'er was cold: "Princess, the person you said wanted to harm you, is it Princess Duan......"

Whoever harms her master deserves to die.

Yi Xuan hurriedly interrupted her: "Impossible. ”

"Why?" The two were puzzled. Judging from the current situation, only Princess Duan is suspected......

"If Princess Duan wants to harm me, the rumors will reach the ears of the Queen Mother first, and there is no need to go to great lengths to trap the tea pot and let them spread the rumors first."

Princess Duan is very favored in front of the Queen Mother. Just bribe a certain grandmother next to the Queen Mother, and you can control her to death.

Shuang'er was silent for a long time, what the master said was indeed reasonable, "But people's hearts are unpredictable......"

"Twins." Yi Xuan rarely spoke to her so seriously, "Don't make assertions. ”

“…… Be. ”

That night, Zhao Zhen did not return for a long time. Yixuan thought that there was another accident in Beizhen Fusi, so she hurriedly ordered Shuang'er to investigate. Whoever wants to go is an hour.

Yixuan was absent-minded when she was reading, so she chose a potted plant to cut, and when she lost her mind and cut it again, she let out a melancholy sigh and simply got down and paced.

Finally, Shuang'er rushed back, her face was pale and ugly, and Yixuan hurriedly asked her what was wrong. Shuang'er just grabbed Yixuan's arms and couldn't speak.

Yixuan was anxious: "What's wrong, say!" ”

"Princess...... Tea Ou incense seal ...... He's dead. Her eyes were stunned, "I just bumped into the person arranged by Ping Niang, and the two sides fought, and there were many of us, and the murderer was caught." ”

Yi Xuan frowned, that person couldn't wait to seal the tea ou incense seal...... Fortunately, the murderer was caught, and he may be able to find out who is behind it.

"The prince has passed?"

Shuang'er nodded, almost crying: "But princess, do you know? The murderer said, he was sent by you! Say that you want to create the illusion of suicide with a tea pot incense seal! ”

Yi Xuan was stunned! This basin of dirty water was blatantly poured on her!

She quickly calmed down: "It doesn't work. Since I want to kill the tea and the incense seal, why did my people catch the murderer? ”

Shuang'er smiled bitterly: "The murderer said that on the one hand, you used the people of the palace to monitor the tea pot incense seal, and on the other hand, you contacted them people in the rivers and lakes, which is inconsistent. ”

Yixuan was silent for a long time, suddenly sneered, and clenched her fingers, "Okay! I don't know who gave me such a big gift! I have to thank her so much that I can live up to this kindness! ”

Yi Xuan poured a sip of tea, the tea was already cold, so cold that she bit her lip. It's been a long time since she's met such an opponent, and she's sharpened her so much and comes straight to her, and she doesn't know what kind of hatred she has.

"Let's go. Go to the Imperial Tomb. ”
