Chapter 66: Where Did She Expect ......
"You've been waiting a long time?"
Yi Xuan stepped on the oakwood floor and walked steadily towards Wei Xiang, her hair swaying gently with her steps.
Wei Xiang stared at her, "It's only two hours. β
Two hours? He, a busy man, sat here for two hours in order to wait for her?
Yi Xuan pursed her lips and sat down, Wei Xiang pushed her a blue-glazed porcelain cup and said, "Your favorite monttop stone flower." β
"Thank you." Her eyes flashed slightly, and she was silent and said, "But I like purple bamboo shoots the most now." β
Wei Xiang's movements on his hand paused, looked up at her, and seemed to smile: "Really?" β
Yi Xuan was silent.
"Stone flowers are precious, spring tea is only a few catties, and you only love to drink Ming Qian tea. In the past, I collected it for you, using a white porcelain tea pot, densely spread three layers of bamboo leaves, and then put it in the bamboo house. Every time in autumn, the stone flowers are drunk by you, and you can't get used to drinking other tea. β
When Wei Xiang mentioned the past, the corners of his lips hooked, with a bit of nostalgia.
Yi Xuan was silent, and the bitterness and slight sweetness of the tea reminded her that Wei Xiang had also learned to make tea - she liked the stone flowers he made the most.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" She frowned slightly, not wanting to hear him say that anymore.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Yi Xuan looked over, it was the guy from Baoyue Building, who left the dishes here and left. Yixuan took a closer look, and it was indeed her favorite stewed pigeon with spring bamboo shoots, steamed sea bass, wild vegetable soup, etc., which were full of tables.
Wei Xiang tried the poison with a silver needle, picked up the chopsticks, brought the perch in front of him, clamped the fish meat, took out the thorns, and then soaked the fish meat with the thorns in the soup, and never tired of it.
He has always been so patient and careful with her. She used to take it for granted, but now, she almost couldn't tolerate it.
"Why don't you eat it?" Wei Xiang asked.
"What the hell do you want?" Yi Xuan stared at him and took a deep breath: "Are you trying to remind me how good you used to be to me?" Want to make me feel guilty? β
Wei Xiang was silent, with heavy emotions in his eyes.
"I have nothing to feel guilty about. You know better than I why you're being nice to me β to make me trust you. I'm stupid, but it's enough to be stupid once. β
Yixuan was a little angry. She looks so easy to deceive? She has made this kind of fake appearance several times, and she is tired of it!
"If you're all right, I'll go first." Yixuan sorted out her mood a little, straightened up and prepared to stand up.
Wei Xiang held her down.
"There's something, you sit down, let's talk slowly."
He just stared at the girl calmly, not even daring to show the slightest sadnessβjust like before, he put away his thoughts.
Yixuan hesitated slightly, but sat down according to his words, picked up chopsticks to eat, and just so happened that she was also hungry.
"What's the matter?" She asked.
"The silver ticket on the murderer's body was redeemed at the Jubao Money Village. I checked the bills, and the source of the money was the royal palace. β
Yixuan was shocked, how could it ...... How can it be!
Since the silver came from the palace, and she is the princess in charge of the feed, there is no doubt that the spearhead is pointed at her!
"I haven't told you yet, Lord Wang." Wei Xiang paused, and then said, "If you need it, I can hide this matter." β
Yixuan couldn't come back to her senses for a while, and when she heard him say that she wanted to help her hide it, her voice was a little colder: "You suspect it's me?" β
"Nope." Wei Xiang replied without hesitation, "It's definitely not you...... You don't bother to do such a thing. β
He knew her far more than Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen may be suspicious, but he trusts her wholeheartedly from beginning to end. When the killer said her name, he thought it was ridiculous.
Yi Xuan lowered his gaze and thought while eating, "The palace does have a large amount of silver scattered in the bank, but without my pair of cards, no one can take it...... Unless, unless, somebody steals the pair of cards, or asks me for a pair of cards for some other reason, and then goes to withdraw the money. β
Wei Xiangwaner: "Do you want me to check it for you?" β
Help her check? Why do you want to help her check? Does it have anything to do with him?
Yi Xuan looked at him speechless for a long time, and sighed: "I just suspect that you are trying to trick me and threaten me." β
Wei Xiang was noncommittal.
"You don't need to check it for me. You can also tell him, you can tell him, and he should not suspect me. Yi Xuan's voice softened.
The food at Baoyue House is delicious - it can make people angry.
Wei Xiang saw the fragrance of the girl's food, smiled unconsciously, and began to eat vegetables, and asked with interest: "He has no doubts, how can you be sure?" β
Yi Xuan glared at him.
Zhao Zhen is her father-in-law, and her father-in-law can't eat accurately, and she also lived in vain.
"One more thing." Wei Xiang said: "I haven't had time to tell you." About Zhao Shen. β
"What?"
"You shouldn't have let Zhao Shen go."
I thought it was a big deal...... It turned out to be to accuse her. Yi Xuan sneered: "Don't let him go, waiting for you to use him to force the palace?" β
Wei Xiang showed a helpless expression, "This is just your conjecture, the prince actually doesn't have this plan." β
"That'...... What is it? β
Wei Xiang looked at her for a while, his eyes drifted to the window, he got up, closed the window, and met a fine burst of rain, he looked at the sky in a little surprise, and sure enough, the sky was darker than usual.
He closed the window and told Yixuan, "It's raining." Through the window, he watched the people on the street hold up their umbrellas, and said, "You remember, you don't like rainy days the most." β
Yi Xuan also narrowed her eyes when she looked at the rain, and was slightly stunned: "It's hard for you to remember." β
Wei Xiang looked back at her, and suddenly smiled, and the smile was a little clear: "I have never forgotten your affairs." β
This seemed to be a little ambiguous, Yi Xuan didn't know if he was thinking too much, he glanced at him suspiciously, but he had already sat back in his seat with an indifferent expression, and talked about Zhao Shen again.
"Some of the original princelings in the DPRK and China, in fact, knew about the secret edict of the emperor before the prince and me, and there were some changes. Most of them are veterans of the DPRK and China, and if I want to move them, I must check the evidence, but they are very cunning......"
Wei Xiang pondered for a moment, and his voice was lowered: "I even found out that they are borrowing troops from the Tatars, in a vain attempt to support Zhao Shen's ascension to the throne through the power of foreign countries. β
Yixuan couldn't believe what she heard. If what Wei Xiang said is true, the person who intends to rebel is not Zhao Zhen, but the princeling, then she rescued Zhao Shen, it is simply a return to the mountain!
She's crazy!
Yi Xuan turned her throat with difficulty: "All, the prince detained Zhao Shen in Beijing, in fact, to control the power of the princelings?" β
"Not bad."
How could she have expected that! Since she assisted Zhao Yan to ascend the throne, she regarded Zhao Zhen as her first rival, and Zhao Zhen's every move seemed to her to be counterproductive, how could she have expected it!
And the princelings are all pedantic old men, and a group of people she has always ignored dare to commit such a rebellious act!
Joke!
Yi Xuan suddenly lost her appetite, put down her chopsticks in a daze, and looked at Wei Xiang without giving up: "You...... You really didn't lie to me? β
"It's true." Wei Xiang said solemnly: "To tell the truth, with the strength of the prince, the name is not justified - what?" β
Yixuan felt cold.
For so many years, Zhao Zhen has indeed been ambitious, but he has not actually transgressed. What she should have thought of, if Zhao Zhen wanted to rebel, he would have rebelled a long time ago, so what kind of secret edict did she have to wait for?
She chuckled bitterly, "That'...... Zhao Shen, what is the movement? β
"He's missing." Wei Xiang said briefly.
Didn't blame her.
He certainly couldn't blame her. He has been by her side for so many years, so he naturally knows how wary she is of Zhao Zhen.
In fact, he sometimes wonders if Zhao Zhen covets that position...... Bringing Zhao Shen to the capital, do you really have no intention of taking advantage of it?
Who knows.
"Missing!" Yi Xuan almost got up, biting her lower lip but still holding back, "How can it be missing?" Didn't you send someone to watch him......"
"I'm sent." Wei Xiang nodded, "Don't you know?" I just happened to send your men. Your people didn't look at him. β
Yi Xuan was stunned, his upright body was a little weak, and he slowly sat down crookedly, "So, I'll ...... it myself."
She achieved it with her own hands, a force that was enough to threaten Zhao Yan.
At that time, she pretended to be Zuo Ge Lao's subordinate, but now it seems that there is no disobedience at all...... She did help the princelings!
"It's not your fault, either." Wei Xiang said.
Yi Xuan laughed twice, and her eyes gradually changed from confused to clear, "No, if it's wrong, it's wrong...... Zhao Shen is missing, the prince already knows, right? β
"Just got the news today."
Yi Xuan thought calmly for a while and said, "I will give Zhang Xu an order and let Nanzhen Fusi assist you in tracking down Zhao Shen's whereabouts." As long as you keep a close eye on the princelings, you can always find clues. β
"Thank you." Wei Xiang couldn't help but smile.
Yixuan tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiled back, got up and patted her skirt, "The rain is getting heavier, I'll go back to the palace first, and you can go back quickly." β
"Are you in such a hurry to go back to see the prince?" Wei Xiang also stood up, a faint smile on his face, but he didn't look really happy.
Yi Xuan glanced at him: "If the prince knew that you intercepted me, what would happen to you?" β
"He won't know."
Yi Xuan stopped walking, turned around and stared at him suspiciously, "Why?" β
"Recently, the war in the northwest has been tight, and the generals are calling on the prince to go back." Wei Xiang took a few steps closer to her, "When the prince learned that Zhao Shen was missing, he suspected that the princelings had contacted the Tatars to do evil, and he had already given birth to the heart of returning to the northwest. β
Wei Xiang lowered his head, his eyes were dark and bright, "If the prince returns to the northwest, he will be reluctant to take you with him." β
And he will also take over everything in the capital.
Then he and she will be able to plan together and fight side by side, as they did before.
Yi Xuan took a step back, frowned and asked him, "What did the prince say?" He's not going to take me? β
"That's what it means. He said that the northwest is bitterly cold, the war is dangerous, and it is safer for you to stay in the capital. β
Is...... Confused!
I want to leave her alone in the capital!
Yi Xuan gritted his teeth angrily, "I see." Go first. β
The girl was in a hurry, eager to fly to her father-in-law's side - to settle accounts with him!
