Mo Chunhua's expression was solemn, "Of course I believe that they are innocent victims, but there is no evidence." Over the years, I have been secretly searching for clues, but unfortunately I have found very little. The imperial court was very secretive about this matter, not only had wiped out the files at that time, but also transferred some of the officials involved from their posts, these people had long disappeared in the vast sea of people, it was difficult to find their traces, and I also found that what was even more strange was that there seemed to be a hidden force on the rivers and lakes that was hiding their traces for this matter. ”

When Lin Yuelan heard this, her lazy body leaned forward slightly, and she sat up straight, with a few strands of solemnity in her eyes, "A few years ago, I sent someone to investigate this case and found out some news. Before the Tang Gate accident, there was an incident in the harem where the concubine was executed. The reason for the execution of the concubine was to charm the emperor and damage the holy body, and it was the mother of the third prince, Concubine Qin, who was denounced at that time. This matter is only regarded as an ordinary harem story of jealousy, and few people think that this matter is related to the Tang Sect. ”

In fact, the so-called charm is that the concubine gave the saint love fruit in order to compete for favor, which caused an uproar in the imperial court. Later, it was found out that the love fruit came from the Tang Gate, and a large number of love fruits and letters and evidence of private correspondence with the concubine in an attempt to murder the emperor were seized in the Tang Gate, so the Tang Gate was sealed in anger, and the Tang Gate disappeared from the rivers and lakes overnight. ”

And because the court took care of face, the reason for convicting the Tang Men was only to mention the manufacture of forbidden drugs in the imperial court and not the matter of the harem, so the world only knew about the production of forbidden drugs by the Tang Sect, but did not know about the love of the court. Before the Tang Sect had made an agreement with the imperial court, that is, "no more inhumane forbidden drugs will be produced and allowed to circulate among ordinary people, and if there is any violation, the imperial court will dispose of it", and this agreement became the basis for the conviction of the Tang Sect. ”

Lin Yuelan took a sip of tea, moistened her mouth, her eyes were stained with tea, which was even more profound, and then said: "In this case, in my opinion, there are three doubts: First, the Tang Sect was originally a big faction in the rivers and lakes, and it was not bound by the Tianyan Imperial Court, and the Jianghu and the imperial court were already acting on their own and did not interfere with each other, so there was no need for the Tang Sect to lower its posture and issue a statement of agreement, even if it wanted to return to the right path, it did not have to express its position to the imperial court. Second, since Tang Bi led the Tang Sect to decency, and the Tang Sect has always been based on the world with heavy promises, how could he violate his promise and manufacture banned drugs and circulate them among ordinary people? Third, Tang Bi and his wife were still able to survive after jumping off the memorial cliff of nine deaths, and after so many years of incognito and running the dilapidated Tang Sect vigorously, it can be seen that they are wise and brave people, and they should not commit suicide in prison before the charges are cleared, which is not quite in line with the style of the two predecessors. ”

Situ Nanyun pinched the teacup, listened attentively, pondered for a while, and said: "The power of the Tang Sect should not be underestimated, it was destroyed overnight, it is difficult to make it disappear overnight on the rivers and lakes by relying on the power of the imperial court alone, and it disappeared so cleanly, I suspect that not only the imperial court, but also other forces of the rivers and lakes are involved in this matter, otherwise, later aunt, you will not have no news when you go to investigate this matter, and it is impossible to completely erase it in a short period of time with the power of the imperial court alone, I even suspect that the reason why my grandparents committed suicide is that It is likely that they were coerced by some people, or someone threatened the lives of my mother or aunt. ”

Lin Yuelan looked approving, and nodded at her, "Yun'er, the analysis makes sense." ”

Mo Chunhua also nodded, but there was a deep doubt in his expression, "According to Tianyan's law, the method of joint sitting is not practiced, and it stands to reason that Mingxin and Mengxin will not escape when the incident happens, someone must have intercepted them." It's just that when I later met Mengxin at Jingyue Temple, she mentioned it, but she never mentioned it, which is very strange, I think she must have experienced something from the time she disappeared to the time she became a monk in Jingyue Temple, but she didn't want to tell me, and besides, she was in her twenties back then, it was a good year, why not choose a better life instead of choosing a monk? Although she had explained to me that her parents had died and that she had seen through the red dust, such reasons were not enough to convince me, and these questions have been bothering me for many years. ”

Situ Nanyun put her little hand on her cheek and interjected, "If my aunt doesn't tell my aunt, maybe there is something unspeakable?" ”

Lin Yuelan looked at her, her eyes smiled slightly, "There is something unspeakable, isn't it a strange place?" As he was talking, the matter of Concubine Yao flashed in his mind, and he looked at Mo Chunhua, "Oh, by the way, has Senior Mo ever seen Concubine Yao in Jingyue Temple?" ”

Since the third prince and the fifth prince reached out to secretly investigate Jingyue Temple, and Situ Nanyun was arrested in Jingyue Temple, Lin Yuelan began to investigate the matter of Concubine Yao, he found that although Concubine Yao was the favorite concubine of the first emperor, but there was no record in the palace case file, it seems that with her being demoted from the house, the files about her disappeared, and he also investigated that although Concubine Yao was a monk in Jingyue Temple, she lived in a simple place, and ordinary monks and nuns did not see her face, and besides, Jingyue Temple was also like the imperial court, and there was no record of any information about her, including her portrait, This is very counterintuitive.

Mo Chunhua shook his head, "Although I also know that Concubine Yao is also a monk here, Master Compassion said that Concubine Yao is happy and quiet, and she stays in the room all the year round to chant and chant Buddha, and outsiders don't dare to disturb her, so I haven't seen her." ”

Situ Nanyun became more and more curious about this Concubine Yao, and couldn't help but speak, "My aunt has lived in Jingyue Temple for two years and has never seen Concubine Yao, so to speak, Concubine Yao is really a simple person and can't avoid people. Alas, this concubine is estimated to have too much gap from the palace to the temple, and it is difficult to accept the reality for a while, so she locks herself in the house and doesn't want to see outsiders. ”

Lin Yuelan shook her head disapprovingly, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this Concubine Yao, I heard that she was not a quiet woman when she was in the palace, she was very lively and full of hope for life, which is also the two things that the first emperor liked her the most in addition to her beauty, why did everything change as soon as she arrived at Jingyue Temple?" Is it really because of the big gap in circumstances and discouragement? I don't think a person's personality should change so much. ”

Situ Nanyun thought about it and nodded, "yes......"

Lin Yuelan suddenly thought of a question, and her dark eyes suddenly shone brightly, "May I ask Senior Mo, when did Yun'er's aunt die?" ”

"The year of the year, the month of the month, the time of the unitary." Mo Chunhua replied.

Lin Yuelan's eyes flashed with excitement, as if she had found the answer, "Aunt Yun'er's death and Concubine Yao's death were on the same day, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" ”

Mo Chunhua suddenly thought of something, his eyes were faintly excited, and he hurriedly said: "Lin Gongzi's words suddenly reminded me, there is another coincidence, I have seen Concubine Yao's remains, and it looks similar to Mengxin, looks alike, and died on the same day, it is indeed too coincidental." ”

The truth was about to come out in Mo Chunhua's mind, but she didn't dare to guess it.

A hint of clarity flashed in Lin Yuelan's eyes, and she looked at the two of them and said, "I make a bold guess, Concubine Yao of Jingyue Temple is likely to be Yun'er's aunt." ”

Situ Nanyun and Mo Chunhua said in unison, "This is impossible, Mengxin (aunt) can't be Concubine Yao." ”

Lin Yuelan's deep eyes looked at the two people with puzzled expressions, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "Of course I know this, Yun'er's aunt can't be the first emperor's Concubine Yao, she should be Concubine Yao's stand-in, that is, she is a monk for Concubine Yao in Jingyue Temple, and the real Concubine Yao is not actually in Jingyue Temple." ”

Situ Nanyun looked confused and muttered, "What the hell is going on? Could it be that my aunt appeared in Jingyue Temple to become a monk for Concubine Yao, so ...... Where is the real Concubine Yao? ”

Lin Yuelan's eyes were full of thought, at this time her hands were crossed and pinched, and her thumb tapped Nanmu's case, "These are still mysteries, we still need to explore further, and there is no secret, my mother's death is also a mystery, and I also died in this year, I was only five years old at the time, and a group of people came to the imperial court, and I vaguely heard the words of Concubine Yao from my mother's personal maid, maybe my mother's death...... It also has something to do with it, and after I ask my father, maybe things will become much clearer. ”

Situ Nanyun took Lin Yuelan's hand, knowing that he remembered her mother-in-law and had the intention of comforting him, and then said: "Could it be that this is the purpose of the five princes and the third prince who came to Jingyue Temple - to check on Concubine Yao, could it be that the imperial court was suspicious of Concubine Yao, who was a monk here back then?" ”

Lin Yuelan let her hold her hand, a soft wave flashed in her eyes, and nodded, "I think the emperor should have heard some rumors, so he sent the fifth prince and the third prince to investigate the matter of Concubine Yao, and this matter, the royal family is only suspicious, and there is no evidence, so they are just acting secretly." ”

Mo Chunhua suddenly thought that Tang Mengxin's ashes were still in Situ Nanyun's hands, and said with some concern: "Yun'er, now that the situation is serious, your Mengxin's aunt's ashes are still in your hands, you have to send them back to Situ Mansion for burial as soon as possible, in case they find out, it will not be good." ”

Situ Nanyun also knew the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly said, "Why don't I leave tomorrow and send it back to Situ Mansion?"

Lin Yuelan shook her head, "No, Yun'er, you have been targeted by them, and you can't go back now, Senior Lao Mo will personally go to Situ Mansion for this matter," and looked at Situ Nanyun in a blink of an eye, "You will write a letter to inform Uncle Situ of the reason for the matter, Uncle Situ is an understanding person, and he will deal with it carefully." ”

After this big mystery was solved, Lin Yuelan was obviously a lot more relaxed, and after taking a sip of Xueyue tea, she seemed to taste the taste of tea, "Good tea, moist and delicious, light fragrance, the tea of Xueyue Mountain really lives up to its reputation." ”

Mo Chunhua smiled next, "The tea in our Snow Moon Mountain is indeed incomparable to other places, if Lin Gongzi likes it, I still have a little here." ”

Situ Nanyun also took a sip, "It's indeed good tea, even I, who don't drink tea often, can taste it." ”

The three of them chatted easily for a while, and when they went back, it was already sunny, but the winter sun was not dazzling, soft, and it was very comfortable to shine on people.

Situ Nanyun kicked the stones on the side of the street boredly all the way, feeling a little heavy, "Lin Yuelan, it may be that my life was too simple before, and now when I think of these conspiracies, I am a little scared." Look, am I unproductive? ”

"Yun'er, you don't have to be afraid, I'm here." Lin Yuelan froze her steps, her warm eyes fell on her face, and she patted her shoulder lightly.
