Chapter 17: Who is Xiangwan?
Xiao Tong found Yin Ze in the restaurant, and when he finished drinking the pot of wine, Xiao Tong dared to persuade him: "Master, go back." ”
Yin Ze called Xiao Er again and took a pot of wine, and after two sips, he remembered to ask, "Is she back to the palace?" ”
"I went back, but I just got out of the carriage, and I don't know what she saw, so she ran out again."
Yin Ze paused for a moment in his drinking, "Let people follow her, don't lose people." ”
Half an hour later, Yin Zecai returned to the palace with a drunken body, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he asked the concierge: "Is the princess back?" ”
"The minions have never seen it."
Yin Ze frowned, but didn't say anything. As soon as he walked to the Huijiao Pavilion of the palace, he noticed that the scenery behind him moved with the wind, and when he turned around, Mingfeng was already standing behind him.
He asked Mingfeng directly; "The boy said that Begonia got out of the carriage and ran away? Where did she go? ”
"It seems to be a woman."
Yin Ze's tone was slightly raised, "Woman? ”
"The princess lost someone on the street of the capital, and then she looked like she was unwilling, presumably that woman was very important to her." Ming Feng took out a squarely folded piece of drawing paper from his arms and gave it to Yin Ze.
Yin Ze took the thing and didn't rush to open it. "Last time, you were asked to check the matter of Mrs. Huo Starling again, how did you check?"
Ming Feng looked at the drawing paper in his hand, "Little Lord will know if you look at it." ”
Yin Ze opened the drawing paper in his hand, looked at the portrait on the drawing paper, and naturally thought of a person.
Ming Feng said at the right time: "This is the portrait of the Prime Minister's wife." The wife of the prime minister was killed near Yufeng Mountain, and the princess grew up in Yufeng Mountain......"
Yin Ze's heart was suffocated. The Prime Minister's wife died early, and he had never seen it. This one is actually the wife of the Prime Minister?
He opened the paper again and looked at the faces of the people in the painting.
Resemble.
From the eyebrows and eyes to the pear vortex with her light smile, it is simply six or seven points alike. The other three points are gentle and atmospheric, and the other is charming and lovely.
He had seen Huo Hanyan, but even Huo Hanyan and the Prime Minister's wife were not so similar. With such similar faces, apart from his biological mother and daughter, Yin Ze really couldn't imagine any other connection.
Could it be that Begonia is really Huo Starling's daughter?
Yin Ze put away the portrait and said in a low tone: "Huo Xing also found it?" ”
Mingfeng shook his head. "For some reason, Huo Xing's people withdrew when they found Yufeng Mountain, and then they heard that he asked Jin Zisong for an official position. Probably Jin Zisong did the tricks......"
"No, Jin Zisong doesn't have this ability, and Huo Hanyan doesn't have this ability." Yin Ze is very sure. He thought for a moment, "It was the mother's family of the Prime Minister's wife who found Huo Hanyan back then?" ”
Ming Feng recalled, "It's the sister of the Prime Minister's wife, Meng Qingyue." ”
At this point, Yin Ze already understood five or six times. "Let's check on Meng Qingyue again."
Mingfeng received the order, and was just about to leave, when he heard Yin Ze ask: "How is my mother today?" ”
Ming Feng's expression paused, as if he hesitated. Yin Ze's eyes were slightly downcast, "Huh? ”
"The old problem is committed, and I stubbornly refuse to see the doctor, and now that it's autumn, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it if I delay it any longer."
Yin Ze was a little helpless, "You persuade her to order." She doesn't like to hear her father's words, and neither does mine. Only she can listen to what you say to Aunt Li. ”
Ming Feng didn't say anything, and his figure disappeared in a flash. This time the wind does not move, the leaves do not shake, but there are no insects and birds.
Yin Ze gradually retracted his palms, and opened the paper again before it was completely wrinkled.
When the sun was setting and the sky was sinking, Haitang didn't come back, so Yin Zecai couldn't sit still and went out of the house to look for someone in person. remembered that Ming Feng mentioned Jingcheng Street, and he went directly to Jingcheng Street.
The capital is very large, with hundreds of alleys and dozens of streets, but only the widest and most open street that leads directly to the palace gate can be called Jingcheng Street.
Although it was already evening, the streets were even more lively. Yin Ze slowed down his pace, his eyes searching the street. He has a handsome and good-looking face, and he is from a prince's background, no matter how gorgeous he is, he can't hide the luxury on his body. He was still holding the jade fan in his hand, and he looked even more chic when he walked, which caused the men and women on the street to look sideways.
Walking somewhere, Yin Ze saw Begonia standing next to a teahouse, staring back and forth at people with a pair of eyes. He pursed his lips and was about to head towards that place, when someone shouted at him in a hurry.
"Cheng Xiao Wangye?"
He turned his head and smiled at the other party after a slight pause. "Zichen."
Fu Zichen pointed to the restaurant behind him, "Father is on it, do you want the little prince to go up and sit?" ”
"No need, I'll ......" Yin Ze looked forward again, and the person who was originally standing next to the teahouse was long gone.
Seeing that he seemed to be looking for someone, Fu Zichen also looked around. "Is the little prince looking for someone?"
Yin Ze didn't answer, just withdrew his gaze. "Qingqing is here too?"
Fu Zichen shook his head, "I was a few days ahead of my father, Qingqing contracted a cold two days ago, and I arrived in the capital a little later." Fu Zichen looked at him deeply, and said, "I heard that the little prince married the princess, congratulations." ”
Yin Ze couldn't smile under his eyes, "Thank you." ”
Seeing that he didn't want to speak, Fu Zichen didn't want to ask more, so he still pointed to it, "You, really don't go up?" ”
"No, I'll visit the house another day."
With that, he turned back the way he came.
When Yin Ze returned to the palace, Haitang had already come back first, and she was sitting on a chair drinking a bowl of soup. is obviously a mountain bandit, but at this moment, his movements are elegant and beautiful, so that people can't see the details at all.
Yin Ze suddenly felt that he couldn't see through this woman at all.
"What to eat? Give me some too? ”
"You haven't had dinner yet?" Haitang put down the spoon and pushed the bowl of lotus seed soup in front of her directly in front of him. "The little prince doesn't dislike it, right?"
Yin Ze directly picked up the spoon and drank the rest of her lotus seed soup, "It's too late to dislike it now." ”
He asked Fennel to take down the empty bowl, and then held back the other maids, and then looked at Begonia. "Who did you see at the gate of the palace today?"
Haitang raised his eyes and looked at him, "Didn't the little prince install someone next to me, in that case, why did you come to ask me why?" ”
This matter was already noticed on the first day that Haitang came to King Cheng's Mansion. She was worried that it was someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but no one did it for two days, so she guessed that it was Yin Ze's person.
"My people are only responsible for keeping an eye on you, and they can't control others." Yin Ze unfolded the jade fan, felt a little cold after fanning it twice, and put it down stupidly. He pulled the chair to Begonia's side and held it closely, "Who do you see?" I admit that the little prince has no ability, but if you want to find someone in the capital, it is quite simple. ”
Begonia's eyes lit up, "Can you really find it?" ”
"Let's talk about it first."
Begonia will be skeptical, "Do you know how to draw?" ”
Yin Ze was a little proud, "My paintings can still be sold for silver in TECO." ”
Haitang ignored him, and took a pen and paper from the desk, "I said physiognomy, you draw people." ”
……
Yin Ze listened to her description, and he had a look after putting pen to paper. Before he could stop writing, Begonia snatched the portrait, and the more she looked at it, the more chilling she felt.
"This woman is also from your Yufeng Mountain?"
Begonia indifferently threw the portrait back on the table, and the corner of the paper was onto the inkstone and dyed into ink. Yin Ze tore off the corner and dried the ink on the portrait, then called out to Xiao Tong. She hadn't said a word yet, and Yin Ze had already explained everything.
"Why?" Haitang looked at him in a daze, "Why do you want to help me?" ”
Yin Ze smiled, "You're my princess, aren't you?" If I don't help you, who will I help? ”
Haitang's heart was suffocated, and she was silent for a long time and finally said: "She is my sister-in-law, and she has a very good relationship with my eldest brother." She is kind-hearted and beautiful...... That day she said she was not feeling well and had been lying in the house. When the accident happened, she had no chance to escape. ”
Her tone grew cold, and finally she trembled even more. "I have always wondered why Jin Zisong, who was imprisoned in the cottage, had the opportunity to run down the mountain to report to the government's mansion? Although the people in the cottage are not martial arts masters, they can completely protect themselves, but why did they only have empty fists and feet on that day but couldn't use their internal strength? I didn't figure it out until I saw her today...... But why? Why? ”
Yin Ze didn't have to guess to think that Jin Zisong could go down the mountain to report to the official mansion, probably because of the inner and outer cooperation of Haitang's sister-in-law, the official government could so easily exterminate a bandit den that had been entrenched in the mountain for many years. Then Jin Zisong made a meritorious service, and her sister-in-law was free.
He looked at Begonia again, and then found that she was crying silently.
This was the first time he had seen Begonia crying, he was probably full of sympathy, he didn't want to see her like this, and even wanted to reach out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. When he reacted, he realized that he had indeed done it.
Begonia suddenly grabbed his hand and held it tightly.
"Her people, I want to live. I will take her life myself. ”
Yin Ze withdrew his hand, "I promise you." ”
At night, the two of them did not feel sleepy. Although they slept in the same room, they were both lying apart. One person sleeps on the bed, one sleeps softly, and occasionally there is fun, but they just change beds and do not disturb each other.
Today, Begonia was thinking about her thoughts, tossing and turning, which made Yin Ze even more irritable. He half-sat up, leaning diagonally on the soft collapse, his open neckline revealing the strong muscles in his chest, which was more seductive than the little boy in the Goolan courtyard.
"Can't you just lie down?"
Haitang was lying on the edge of the bed, her fingers were playing with the embroidered shoes on the ground, her voice was soft and long, and her bones could be numb for a while. "Isn't the little prince also unable to sleep? From the time you lay down to the time you just now, you have turned forty-seven times, twenty-nine of them facing me. ”
Yin Ze chuckled, "Then have you counted yourself?" ”
"If you don't pay attention to such a handsome little prince, what's the point of me paying attention to myself?"
Yin Ze looked at her for a moment from a distance, then suddenly got out of bed and walked directly to the edge of her bed. Begonia stood up slightly and looked up at him. Yin Ze lifted her chin, and she bent down, letting the breaths of the two people intertwin.
"I was still red-eyed and crying just now, and now I've changed back to this flattering state? How many faces do you have as a woman? ”
