Chapter 74
There have been too many things that have happened recently, and Xie Qinglin has not yet freed up the manpower to make a special trip to investigate this matter, and he can't say why: "I only found out that Huai Sleeve was brought back from the south by the fourth child, and it is not clear who the specific person is." ”
Jiang Yunyu knew that he was talking about the fourth prince Xie Ziyu.
In her previous life, she didn't have much impression of this person, but she only roughly knew what he had done.
Xie Ziyu, the fourth son born to Concubine Chen Shu, Xie Qinglin was named the king of Qi in the year he ascended the throne, and his fief was in the East China Sea, so he didn't return to Beijing much. It seems that the Spring Festival of a certain year has met once, and there is no intersection other than that.
At this time in her previous life, she was still staying in Tan Yang's academy, ignoring the outside world, and she didn't know what happened the year before Xie Qinglin ascended the throne.
What is the origin of this woman, and why did she fascinate the emperor?
I don't know if Xie Qinglin was negligent or deliberate, and he didn't explain who this "fourth old" was talking about.
Jiang Yunyu asked tentatively, "Then is she any different from the people of the Central Plains?" ”
Interracial again? The world is far from what she sees in front of her, she suddenly realized at this moment that she is still small, even if she lives a new life and has more opportunities than others, but she is not a god in the end, she doesn't know a lot.
Xie Qinglin shook his head and said helplessly: "Don't hide it, I don't know much about Southern Xinjiang, and I've never heard of such a thing. He paused, "However, Qu Qianqiu guesses that their clan has the ability to demagogue. ”
"Qu Qianqiu?!" Hearing this familiar name at first glance, Jiang Yunyu couldn't help but read it in a low voice.
I didn't expect to hear his name again after two years, it seems that he is mixing well now, at least there is a name and surname here in the prince.
Yesterday, all kinds of things emerged from the depths of my mind, the small courtyard of Lizhou, the flowers and trees of Weirui, and the moonlight as gentle as water.
Qu Qianqiu also changed from a down-and-out literati to a strategist under the prince's account, instead of falling to death like in his previous life.
What would he think of the words and phrases he once wrote, such as "being crowned by Confucianism in vain", Jiang Yunyu was distracted at an inopportune time, and actually thought of this, would Qu Qianqiu, who is now serving in the East Palace, feel a trace of guilt......
"Yes, that's the person, he is now in the East Palace." Xie Qinglin smiled and nodded, with stars in his eyes.
Jiang Yunyu knew that he also remembered the past, about the short month and a half in Lizhou.
She suddenly remembered something again: "That...... What did he and Xiang Yin think about? ”
That strange woman who seems to be cold but is actually as hot as fire in her heart, her demeanor and words are enough to shock the world.
"Naturally, it is Qin Se and Ming, who are very affectionate, which makes people envious." Xie Qinglin winked at her suggestively.
Jiang Yunyu turned a blind eye, tilted her head and sighed, "The two of them are so able to toss, they have finally settled down." Only then did she realize that she had gone far, so she stopped continuing the topic and talked about what she had just done: "What kind of nationality is Mr. Qianqiu talking about? How amazing it is? ”
Xie Qinglin smiled helplessly: "I'm lonely and unheard, I really haven't heard of it, but this woman is really weird, I think my father has been affected by her now......"
What the!
There was even a sudden pause during the discussion, as if he had just come back to his senses, and then he would ask them what they had just said, this situation was not once or twice, and the woman called Huai Sleeve was really very honored, as long as the occasion was allowed, the emperor would ask her to accompany her at any time.
It's really inconvenient to talk about such things. Xie Qinglin sighed, his expression full of helplessness.
Jiang Yunyu asked in a low voice: "Then you...... How are you going to do it? ”
"It depends on what he will become, otherwise you will attract criticism if you have no evidence." Xie Qinglin was in a dilemma, he didn't know how to tell the world what he knew, and this matter was too bizarre, even if he said it, I was afraid that most people wouldn't believe it.
Moreover, a few of them are only guessing now, and they can't make a decision.
I'm afraid that the Chen family is waiting for him, and then buckle a hat of bewitching and confusing the public, the civil officials they raise, usually inconspicuous, once they need to contribute to something, they can all show a loyal minister who is dead. That's what he was concerned about.
Xie Qinglin suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration.
Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Yunyu stopped talking, and only thought in her heart, why did such an incident happen? The current development has long deviated from its original trajectory, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, Jiang Yunyu can't shirk it, if she hadn't been reborn, wouldn't these things have happened?
Things were more than she knew, and she couldn't predict what would happen next.
As for the mysterious people in southern Xinjiang, she had never heard of it, and there was no record in the 10,000 ancient books in the Library Pavilion.
And the person they "cared about" very much was hiding in an ordinary room, cursing sadly.
"What's going on with this bunch of garbage? Something that is not enough to achieve and more to lose! It's just a matter of just dying, why did you still recruit officers and soldiers? ”
Qian Wu, known as the fifth master, is of unknown age, has a gloomy face, deep wrinkles on his face, and his eyes are cloudy, just by looking at his face, he knows that he is not a good person.
In fact, what he has been doing for many years is to select those young children who have martial arts talent and bring them back.
Take yourself inside an unfathomable hell.
This is where he stays in Luojing, but he hasn't been here for a long time, and he often takes people away. If it weren't for this inexplicable accident, he would have left this place a long time ago.
Returning empty-handed, he couldn't explain to his head.
He is over half a hundred years old, and his health is not as good as day by day, if one day those people think that he is useless, his days will come to an end.
If you ask him if he has ever regretted it, he can only close his eyes and shake his head heavily.
No matter what you do, you won't say a word.
The cold wind poured in through the cracks, and the house was in disrepair, obviously not playing a role in protecting against the wind and cold.
He is waiting for the limelight to pass, regroup and make up for his mistakes this time, and then go back to the top.
The cold was pervasive, and he felt a dull ache in his legs.
Pingde is the emperor's confidant, the chief eunuch, and even some unfavored concubines have to be polite when they see him, but he doesn't dare to have the slightest disrespect in the face of this queen.
Liu Xuan asked everyone else to step down, leaving only her and Pingde alone.
The great eunuch looked humble, and secretly wondered what she meant, and no one spoke for a while, and he said cautiously:
"Queen Mother, if you want to ask anything, just say it directly, and the slave must know everything."
Liu Xuan was not as decisive as in the past, she hesitated for a while before she hesitated: "Do you have any views on the construction of Bangyue Tower?" ”
Similar to what he guessed, Pingde mentioned it in one breath, this can't be said nonsense, but the queen mother is not a perfunctory master, she is the person he can't figure out the most in the entire palace, he simply doesn't answer directly: "The master's matter, how dare the slave discuss." ”
Liu Xuan knew that the chief eunuch had always been a cautious person, so she asked directly: "Do you think Your Majesty is different now than before?" ”
simply made it clear that such an obvious thing, she didn't believe that Pingde didn't feel it at all.
If you want to talk about closeness, no one in the palace can compare to him.
Pingde lowered his head and stared at the "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang" on the carpet, and finally made up his mind: "Niangniang has found something." He said extremely slowly, the end of each word dragged on for a long time, "The slave only knows that His Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, and it is impossible to be old." ”
After saying that, he closed his eyes, and it was like a stone had finally fallen to the ground.
He is the one who has the most contact with the emperor, what can escape his eyes, but he has a lowly status and feels that people are soft-spoken, so he has never dared to show anything.
When the queen heard this, as if she had expected it, she showed a look of understanding, and waved him very tiredly to step back, while she looked out the window and wondered what she was thinking.
The foundation of Bangyue Tower has been built, and the craftsmen dare not perfunctory things that the emperor values so much, and the speed of construction is simply a miracle.
I don't know where Huo Guyan got a few steamed buns from the poor and white, and Lan Qian wolfed down the cold water and ate it. She used to be very picky when eating, and she couldn't touch anything she didn't like to eat, but now she doesn't dislike anything, as long as she can eat it in her mouth, she will not refuse anyone who comes.
After a few steamed buns, Lan Qian burped contentedly, but heard Huo Guyan suddenly say, "Where are you going?" I'll send you there. ”
Lan Qian didn't know where to find someone, she couldn't answer, and asked Huo Guyan again: "What about you?" ”
He carefully sheathed his sword and said in a flat tone, "I can't stay here any longer." ”
"Where are you going?"
"The four seas are home, I stay here, I am afraid that sooner or later I will be approached by officers and soldiers."
Killing people will pay for their lives Lan Qian knows, and she now regrets letting Huo Guyan take her life because of her impulsiveness.
"Right...... I'm sorry, I hurt you. As he spoke, he burst into tears, and big tears rolled down his face.
Even if Huo Guyan was indifferent to life and death, he really hadn't seen this kind of scene, and he panicked for a while, and said hesitantly: "The girl is serious, the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention ......" Huo Guyan touched the sword in his hand, "Killing people is just a normal thing for me." ”
Lan Qian inexplicably felt an awe-inspiring blood, she seemed to be a little scared, and she didn't want to run away because of these words.
However, Huo Guyan refused to give up, and he said indifferently: "I am not a good person. The momentum around his body suddenly became cold, as if he had changed into a different person.
Lan Qian noticed the change in him, and also knew that this person had made up his mind, so he said sullenly: "Then you go, I can find someone myself." ”
Having said that, she didn't know the bottom in her heart, even if Jiang Yunyu came to Luojing as she wished, she didn't know where she was going.
