Chapter 008: Suspicious

Han Yan had heard of Bai Qi's name earlier during the banquet, and everyone felt that he was an outlier in the badger village, and he would definitely be the leader of this generation in the future, and he was quite envious.

Seeing Bai Qi coming straight to him as soon as he entered the house, he took advantage of the time when everyone was greeting Bai Qi, and looked him up and down seriously.

The young man is tall, perhaps because he is literate and hyphenation and does not follow his ancestral business, he is a little less fierce and rough than others, but a little more elegant. It's just words and deeds that pretend to be a gesture, which can't help but make people laugh.

Of course, Han Yan didn't laugh.

A high-spirited and ambitious young man like Bai Qi, he had seen a lot in his previous life, so he unconsciously saved a little tolerance.

Now that he heard Bai Qi turn the topic to himself, Han Yan took two steps forward and said with a smile: "It's Han Yan below, I don't know what advice you have?" ”

Although it is just a brief polite greeting, the handsome and elegant demeanor that can be calm and quiet is far better than the self-contained Bai Qi.

In the end, it is the big gentleman from the capital, and every move is extraordinary.

The hearts of the people were amazed.

Bai Ming was amazed but inevitably embarrassed, and quietly threw a look at his son and asked him to restrain a little, so as not to get an axe and humiliate himself.

Bai Qi is a teenager, and he is most unwilling to admit defeat, so he just didn't see his father's hint, stepped forward, and asked for advice quite conspicuously: "Since Mr. Han is from Kyoto, he must have heard about a major event that happened in the capital a few days ago, right?" ”

Event?

"What's the big deal?"

Han Yan didn't answer, but the others inquired one after another.

The badger village is remote and has two main streets that crisscross the north, south, east and west, Xiushui Hezi Town, for these mountain households, it is already the most prosperous place they have seen in their lives.

As for the prefectural government, almost no one has been there.

So the big events in the capital sound heartbreaking.

Han Yan subconsciously felt that this "big event" might not be good, but in the face of the enthusiastic crowd, he couldn't stop Bai Qi from opening his mouth.

What's more, Bai Qi deliberately provoked him with this, even if he opened his mouth to stop it, he might not be able to stop it.

In the midst of everyone's questioning, Bai Qi couldn't hide his smugness, glanced at Han Yan, who was silent, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "A few days ago, there was water in the palace!" ……”

Han Yan's heart sank, and he straightened his back instantly, his fists clenched between his sleeves, and his gaze became dark and dark.

He wanted to listen to how the palace, or Zhao Guifei, publicized the cause of the fire in Yanjia Palace!

Seeing that Han Yan's expression was also solemn, he looked like he was listening attentively, and he was proud from the bottom of his heart, and without waiting for everyone to ask, he talked about the book vividly: "It is Yanjia Hall who walks the water, and I heard that it is a ......lady who has fallen out of favor."

Disfavor?

Han Yan snorted coldly.

Emperor Yuan Jia has been favoring Zhao Guifei since he ascended the throne, and in the huge Great Zhou harem, who dares to say that he is favored?

Even when the eldest sister first entered the palace, she was only respected by Emperor Yuan Jia because of her knowledge and elegance.

It is this respect that makes the eldest sister a thorn in Zhao Guifei's side and a thorn in her flesh.

“…… Since ancient times, there have been more mothers who have fallen out of favor, but this lady of Yanjiadian is high-spirited, unconvinced, and wants to set fire to attract the attention of the emperor and regain the favor of the emperor...... "Bai Qi sighed, pity and ridicule.

Han Yan's face sank suddenly, and his fists creaked.

He knew that Zhao Zhen'er was vicious, but he didn't expect that she would slander even those who died in vain like this, and she didn't keep her mouth shut!

The eldest sister has a good heart, is kind to others, and for the sake of her parents and children, she has to set fire to the palace to fight for that glimmer of life, where can those women who mourn and rack their brains to seize grace compare? !

“…… It's a pity, it's a pity, the wind helped the fire, and the Yanjia Palace instantly became a sea of fire, and that lady also lost her life...... There are also palace people in that palace, and they were also buried in the sea of fire because of this......" Bai shook his head and sighed again and again.

Everyone was also embarrassed and emotional, and there were many discussions.

Han Yan lowered his eyelids, covering the monstrous anger and heartache under his eyes, and the knuckles of his fists hidden in his sleeves turned white.

The palace people of Yanjia Palace, as early as when the eldest sister decided to do this, were separated by her under various pretexts, and those who were buried in the fire, except for the eldest sister, were only the henchmen and palace maids who swore to follow her to the death......

“…… I heard that the entire Yanjia Hall was burned to ashes, not to mention, it also implicated the adjacent palace! Seeing that everyone was attracted by his story, they became more and more proud, but they made a look of worrying about the country and the people on their faces, and sighed, "Water and fire are ruthless, that lady is really confused......

Thanks to the kindness of the Son of Heaven, instead of pursuing the sins of the mother-in-law, he also sympathized with the pain of his father-in-law's loss of his daughter, and specially took a long vacation with him for half a year to recuperate, and the salary was still received......"

Han Yan looked up in shock.

What is the kindness of the Son of Heaven and his father's half-year long vacation?

It is clear that Emperor Yuan Jia listened to Zhao Zhen'er's slander and took the opportunity to deprive his father of his authority!

Han Yanqing pursed his lower lip with a white face, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He is no longer the young son of Han Qian, the secretary of Taichang Temple, and the younger brother of Concubine Han Wan, but a cloth cloth who lost his wife and son to beg for a living. How chaotic is the heavenly family, and what does it have to do with his small cloth clothes?

All he can do is sigh and sigh like everyone else, and cover up his identity......

Han Yan squeezed out a smiling face, listening to Bai Qi gushing endlessly, but the chill that surged from the bottom of his heart made his limbs cold and numb, and his body trembled slightly.

In the western room, Shu Yu put down the felt curtain that had been lifted up with a gap, and frowned.

Just when everyone was talking about it, Han Yan happened to be standing facing west, and all the changes in his expression fell under Shu Yu's eyes.

Although she didn't know what Han Yan had to do with the arson lady, she could be sure that Han Yan's change in expression should definitely not be what an ordinary spectator should have.

Shu Yu looked down at Xiao Wangzhi, who was squinting his eyes and opening his small mouth and yawning and about to fall asleep, his heart was heavy.

Han Yan said that he was going out of Beijing to avoid trouble, but what kind of disaster he was avoiding kept it hidden. All they know is that he lost his wife and left his son from home......

After a long time, Shu Yu smiled and sighed, and whispered to himself: "What is the relationship between him and that lady, and what does it have to do with me?" It's really idle to eat turnips and worry about it......"

Badger Mountain is located in the middle of nowhere, not thousands of miles away from the capital, there are eight hundred, the emperor is far away, what is she doing with that kind of leisure!

The script she crossed was farming and business, not a power struggle.

Throwing off redundant thoughts, Shu Yu was in a good mood, humming a little song softly and putting the sleeping Xiao Wangzhi on the kang bed, tucking the corners of the quilt, while taking care of it, while thinking about how to open his mouth to Han Yan for a while, and asked him to take advantage of the time spent overnight to teach her to read and write.

It is really a bit difficult for a high-achieving student to pretend to be illiterate.

What's more, she doesn't want to be an illiterate female hunter for the rest of her life.
