Chapter 55 Clearing the clouds and seeing the moon
Yuan Yan's narrow eyes always stared at Qin Shuang without blinking, as if he was afraid of missing her every flawed expression.
With the gaze of Yuan Yan, the gaze was very sharp, as if it could see through people's hearts.
Yuan Yan stared at her, and she also stared at Yuan Yan.
She just subconsciously looked at Yuan Yan, but she didn't know that Yuan Yan's deep eyes were like a whirlpool in a deep pool, and she almost fell into it.
Smack!
As the candlelight jumped, the wax oil exploded gently, and Qin Shuang came to his senses and moved his eyes away.
"I didn't know that there would be danger, let alone who the murderer was, as for the reason......" Qin Shuang raised her eyes to look at Yuan Yan again, her expression was solemn, "The eldest lady has always held a grudge against me, and it is not impossible to say that it is from her handwriting!" ”
Yuan Yan's inquiring gaze finally moved away from Qin Shuang after a breath.
His voice was cold, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and after a little hesitation, he finally said: "Your eldest wife naturally can't get out of it, but I suspect that the mastermind behind this is the prince!" ”
"Prince?" Qin Shuang pondered for a moment, and then he already understood, "It's me who was negligent!" ”
If she hadn't been reborn, she thought she was just an ordinary boudoir woman, in the entire Kyoto City, as small as an ant, no matter who it was, as long as she was a little forced, she could be pinched to death!
From the first time she met the prince, she should have doubted, but at that time, she didn't pay attention to it at all, so she had a second encounter with Kinkakuji Temple, and even, he bumped into it.
In this world, there is no absolute possibility, and she can't guarantee that her little secret will be hidden from the powerful prince, not to mention that Yuan Yan, a living example, is now sitting in front of her eyes.
"But thankfully, you're still fine!"
Yuan Yan didn't seem to realize it, but Qin Shuang was so cold that he was so cold that he was so angry that his whole face seemed to be filled with blood, and his cheeks were flushed, as if he was about to drip blood.
Seeing Qin Shuang's strange appearance, Yuan Yancai coughed uncomfortably, and changed the topic: "During this time, you will recuperate in Lingyin Temple, and it will not be too late to return to the house after your body recovers, I will send someone to protect you, as for the prince's side, you don't have to worry, I won't let him have a second chance!" ”
Qin Shuang's heart couldn't help but warm when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say, so she nodded silently.
Suddenly, she suddenly remembered the Yang family's overturning of the case, and tried to ask: "How did you investigate the Yang family's affairs?" ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Yan's brows tightened, but he quickly returned to his normal color, "The affairs of the Yang family are much more complicated than I have learned, I can't be in a hurry, I plan to go to Yunnan in person after the autumn, and when the time comes, you can also go together!" ”
"But I have never been to the Yang family, and I have no help at all for the Yang family's case!" Qin Shuang guessed that Yuan Yan was using her rebirth to provide some clues to the case, but the fact was that the Yang family, except for the Yang family, was a blank for her.
"Not for this!" Yuan Yan's face was still covered with a layer of frost, he slowly got up, glanced at Qin Shuang and said, "You have a good rest, I'll go first!" ”
He was about to turn around and leave, but Qin Shuang stopped him.
"Wait!"
Yuan Yan looked at her again, Qin Shuang said solemnly and solemnly: "In the past two years, there will be Turkic invasions in the north, burning, killing and looting, and doing everything, and now the military department is in the hands of the prince, and most of the local armies are also under the jurisdiction of the prince. ”
Feeling that the words were a little inappropriate, Qin Shuang added the word precaution again.
It is better to say that this is an opportunity, take advantage of this opportunity to grasp the military department and some local armies, I am afraid this is what King Cheng and Yuan Yan have always wanted to do.
Waiting for Ah Yun to come with porridge, Qin Shuang drank half a bowl before falling asleep again.
The night shrouded the mountains and forests, and Yuan Yan went down the mountain in the night.
Chang Yuan was already waiting for him at the foot of the mountain, Yuan Yan took the reins from Chang Yuan's hand, turned over neatly on his horse, and rushed to Kyoto with his horse.
He did not go back to Dali Temple, but went directly to the Chengwang Mansion.
King Cheng was still dealing with official business in the study, and next to the desk was a cup of bird's nest porridge that had already been cold, with heavy tiredness on his face, and a black blue under his eyelids.
Someone came to tell him that Lord Yuan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, asked to see him, and he said without raising his head: "Let him come in!" ”
The little guy opened the curtain, and Yuan Yan, who was slightly cool and dewy, came in from outside and saluted King Cheng respectfully.
King Cheng put down the fold in his hand, personally stepped forward to help him, and both of them sat down on the soft couch on the side.
Yuan Yan glanced at Zhu Xi, the prince of Cheng who looked embarrassed on the side, and his eyes fell on the original bird's nest porridge again, and he already had some calculations in his heart.
"The prince is really becoming more and more lawless, and it is really despicable to deal with a woman who is powerless!" King Cheng took a sip of tea, his tone slightly angry.
Qin Shuang's assassination, Yuan Yan didn't intend to hide it from King Cheng, besides, there was no need to hide it from him, King Cheng's words, on the one hand, were dissatisfied with the prince, and on the other hand, it was also a tactful appeasement to Yuan Yan.
This matter has been dealt with almost completely, besides, Yuan Yan has already arranged a secret guard to protect Qin Shuang, and King Cheng does not show his attitude, he has his position, so Yuan Yan didn't care much about it.
"I just came back from Lingyin Temple, and I haven't used dinner yet, thinking that I have something urgent to tell the prince, so I hurried over, why don't I ask someone to make some hot food and send it, and ask me to pad my stomach first!"
King Cheng was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc, "It's okay!" ”
As soon as these two words came out of his mouth, Zhu Xi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly instructed the little maid to prepare the meal.
In a Chengwang Mansion in Nuoda, the kitchen is not ready, as long as the master commands, it will be eaten immediately, and it is only a cup of tea, and the food will be delivered.
It's all hot, a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, a bowl of fresh meat wontons, two cups of bird's nest porridge, a stack of vegetarian dumplings, a plate of beef with spiced sauce, and a variety of fresh snacks.
A small bowl was placed in front of each of them, and King Cheng stretched out his hand to signal, "Talk while eating!" ”
Zhu Xi personally stepped forward to serve a bowl of wontons to King Cheng, and watched King Cheng eat them one by one, and finally cleared the clouds and saw the moon.
"Has the invigilator for this year's spring school been decided?"
King Xu was really hungry, and his worries seemed to disappear instantly with Yuan Yan's arrival, and his appetite was great, and he quickly finished eating a bowl of wontons, Zhu Xi couldn't wait for King Cheng to eat more, and took the initiative to add a bowl of noodles to him.
Yuan Yan ate the bird's nest porridge slowly, and when he heard the words, he put down the spoon and said, "It's decided, Li Haisheng, the head of the household!" ”
"Li Haisheng?" A hint of playfulness flashed in King Cheng's eyes, "Several children of his family are all outstanding, but I heard that the eldest prince Li Canheng is very close to the prince!" ”
"Yes!" Yuan Yan said truthfully: "Although Li Haisheng does not rely on the left and right, Li Canheng is a person who should not be underestimated, he was born at the age of ten, and later won Xie Yuan in one fell swoop in the autumn festival, it is estimated that this year's spring festival will come to an end!" ”
"The prince formed a party for personal gain, in the spring and autumn of previous years, I don't know how much he was asked to make, this year, it is time to change, where can he be told to continue like this!" King Cheng's tone was cold, like deep ice in a cold pool.
Yuan Yan's eyes flashed, "The emperor is in the prime of life, the prince doesn't know how to restrain, he often walks by the river, how can he not get his shoes wet!" ”
"The second son of the house is also going to end this year?" King Cheng glanced at Yuan Yan, and what he said was naturally Yuan Zhen.
I saw Yuan Yan stiffen imperceptibly, and then he reached out and took the handkerchief from the hand of the little guy next to him, wiped the corners of his mouth, and sat up straight, his tone barely had any waves.
"Whether he ends up or not has nothing to do with me!"
King Cheng understood, took the handkerchief from Zhu Xi's hand, both of them rinsed their mouths again, waved their hands and asked someone to remove the remaining dishes, and the little servant brought tea again.
"Try this tea, this year's new tribute!" King Cheng plucked the tea leaves, pursed his lips and looked at Yuan Yan with a smile.
"I got a letter, the security army in the river actually made a group of bandits to be defeated, this time, I came for this!" Yuan Yan's face tightened, revealing faint anger, and he was so cold that he couldn't speak, "I didn't expect that the local army would festered so much in just a few years under the jurisdiction of the prince!" ”
A trace of surprise flashed across King Cheng's face, and he turned slightly white, but he quickly returned to his normal color, "Sooner or later, if it weren't for the prince's will, where would such a thing happen!" ”
Yuan Yan nodded, then shook his head and said with a smile: "If everything goes well on the road, presumably the excerpt can be handed to the emperor early tomorrow morning, I heard that the prince has already started to rectify a few days ago, but it is really embarrassing for him to be crammed like this!" ”
"Indeed!" King Cheng also hooked the corners of his lips, but his voice was unusually cold, "The fold must be handed to the emperor smoothly!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly changed his words, and said: "The bandits in the river, choose a suitable person to go over, all the way up the Wei River, and there can be no fish that slips through the net!" ”
"Yes!" Yuan Yan narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "How is Zheng Xu?" Impartial! ”
Zheng Xu is the commander of the capital guards in the capital, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor, and he is one of the few fierce generals who hold military power but has not been recruited to the prince.
With such a temperament, as long as it is not brought to the prince's party, even if it is our army, Yuan Yan can see people most accurately.
"Zheng Xu?"
King Cheng only muttered, and then made a final tone, "Okay, it's him!" ”
You have to eat bite by bite, Ruth has to go step by step, even if King Cheng has a big appetite, he can't eat a fat man, just in the area of the Wei River, it is enough to gnaw on some days, and then make other plans after dealing with the local army in the area of the Wei River.
Yuan Yan came out of the palace of King Cheng, and immediately ordered Changchang to take people out of the city to escort the military report to Kyoto, as long as the person entered Kyoto, even if that person had the courage, he would not dare to intercept the military report at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Chang Chang immediately got up and gathered people, Yuan Yan ordered someone to find Chang'an, ordered Chang'an to find Zheng Xu, and explained the details, Chang'an sighed and disappeared into the night.
