Chapter 217: On the eve of the big wedding

In the early morning, Jiankang City was shrouded in smoke and rain, and today's rain was very heavy, like the willow trees on the edge of the Acacia Lake outside the city, fluttering and flying.

In the palace, whether it was the guards and maids on the road, or the Praetorian Guards, they all looked hurried to avoid the rain.

In the Xuanshi Palace, Xiao Yan, who had just returned from the court, was changing clothes in the inner hall, his face was a little haggard, after returning from the Ministry of Rites Shilang's Mansion last night, he had not slept all night.

At this time, Sun Guihai, the eunuch who was waiting for the change of clothes, asked casually while observing his face.

"What's wrong with the emperor, I have been frowning since I came back from outside the palace last night" Xiao Yan's whereabouts have been very mysterious recently, and he didn't let him follow, I don't know what he was planning.

Xiao Yan didn't answer this question, he just sighed heavily, he thought about it for a long time after he came back last night, and with the news that Qin Shu brought back later, it was said that Xiao Nanfeng's whereabouts were not abnormal.

Could it be that all this is Yin Jun's own speculation?

I saw the new concubine in the Ministry of Rites last night, and there was no flaw, which was completely inconsistent with the news sent by Yin Jun, Yin Jun said that the third lady was Xiao Qingyue, and she was pregnant.

But this is not the case, is it Yin Jun who lied unscrupulously for revenge, or Xiao Nanfeng and the others are playing tricks and creating suspicions?

Xiao Yan couldn't help but have a little headache, I heard that there have been a lot of outsiders in Beijing recently, I don't know who leaked the news, and the news of the secret of the Soul Resurrection Pill that he had repeatedly concealed was still leaked.

At this time, a chamberlain from the outer hall hurriedly entered the inner hall and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Qin guards are back and are waiting outside the hall to be summoned."

When Xiao Yan heard this, he sped up his dressing action and "summoned him into the hall"

"Yes"

After coming out of the inner hall, he saw that Qin Shu was already waiting respectfully in the hall, and Xiao Yan immediately waved his hand to signal everyone else in the hall to retreat.

Sun Guihai originally wanted to see this to hear the news, but seeing that Xiao Yan asked them all to retreat, he had no choice but to go out first.

After everyone had withdrawn, Xiao Yan asked the people in the hall, "What did he say?"

Qin Shu replied calmly, "Back to the emperor, Yin Yuma said that the news he found out was true, and he did not deceive the emperor."

"Huh! Absolutely true? And who was the one I saw in the Mansion of the Ministry of Rites last night? You were there last night, did you notice anything unusual about that woman?"

Qin Shu thought for a while and replied, "With all due respect to his subordinates, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites has always been conscientious and obedient to his duties, and he should not do such a deceitful thing. What's more, there was a royal doctor with him last night, and even the imperial doctor didn't notice anything unusual, so that woman would definitely not be the person the emperor was looking for."

"You're right, I decided to leave the palace temporarily last night, if there is really anything wrong with that woman, it is impossible to predict the prophet and prepare in advance in such a short time."

"Emperor Shengming, what should I do next?"

Xiao Yan paced back and forth with a somewhat solemn face, although now that the facts were in front of him, the woman in the Rite Servant's Mansion was not Xiao Qingyue, but he did not let go of his doubts in his heart.

He knew that Yin Jun was only thinking about how to take revenge on Xiao Nanfeng, and he also took advantage of this and asked Yin Jun to help him find Xiao Qingyue. As long as Xiao Qingyue gets rid of the secret secret, then Yin Jun will have no use value. What's more, compared with Xiao Nanfeng, Yin Jun certainly plays a greater role in keeping the latter!

Thinking of the assassination of the Praetorian Guards in the Linchuan Palace, he couldn't help but wonder if this matter had anything to do with Yin Jun.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yan felt that Yin Jun had to guard against it, and he couldn't let him do anything wrong, so he immediately instructed Qin Shu to pay attention to the situation in the eldest princess's mansion in private...

When Xiao Yan was thinking about it and still had no progress on Xiao Qingyue's affairs, in the eldest princess's mansion, bursts of smashing sounds came from one room after another, but they were drowned out by the incessant sound of rain outside.

The man in Tsing Yi who was sitting in a wheelchair in the room, panting, his eyes were red, and under his feet, around the table were scattered with fragments of tea cups that he had broken.

On the other side of the room, a man and a woman stood quietly watching from the sidelines, and when the man had smashed enough and vented enough, the woman walked over and silently cleaned up the mess on the ground.

At this time, Yin Xu called, "Young boy... Seeing him like this now, he was heartbroken and helpless at the same time.

Yin Jun slowly calmed down his somewhat excited emotions, it was a complete coincidence that Xiao Qingyue was able to escape this time. He had already arranged for people to monitor every move of the Ministry of Rites' Mansion, but he didn't expect that he was about to capture Xiao Qingyue alive who was about to return to the mansion, and on the other side, Xiao Yan suddenly came to visit. What he didn't expect was that it was the third lady herself who was left in the mansion of the Ministry of Rites.

Thousands of calculations did not count that Xiao Qingyue still had such a hand, and the people he sent out to arrest Xiao Qingyue last night were all killed, and not a single one was left alive. He invited all the swordsmen with strong martial arts on the rivers and lakes, and it was impossible to miss, it seemed that there were other people to help him along the way, but it was unknown who it was.

After calming down, he spoke, "Have you sent the news to the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

"The news has been spread a few days ago, and it is not surprising that someone from the Northern Wei Dynasty will come over in the next two days."

The news of the secret was spread by Yin Jun, and now there are many people from other places in Beijing, even people from neighboring countries, and everyone is playing the idea of the secret xin.

He just wants to see that the current situation is as chaotic as possible, so that it will be beneficial for him to get rid of Xiao Nanfeng, and for this reason, he even contacted the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty privately.

Tuoba Han, the fourth prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, had long held a grudge against Xiao Nanfeng for being kidnapped to the Daliang military camp during the first war of that year. As a powerful minister of Great Wei, he was captured and held hostage by the enemy, what a great shame! The assassins sent out before failed to poison Prince Cheng Daliang, and failed to kill the six princes, which made him very angry. Suffering from not finding the opportunity to be ashamed, he will not shirk the olive branch thrown by Yin Jun. In the past, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty had been reluctant to fight with the Great Liang again, but now he had a legitimate reason.

The reappearance of the world's first miracle medicine is not only the dream of all dignitaries, but also something that the royal families of all countries desperately want to get.

In Jiankang City, a battle for medicine is inevitable.

The sky is full of dark clouds, black clouds are surging, this heavy rain does not know when it will stop, a storm has begun...

Under such a rainy weather, a carriage came early in the morning outside the mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and it turned out that the sixth prince specially came to pick up the third lady to go to Tianjiang Tower to listen to the play.

The people outside were already surprised by the intimacy between the two, and only laughed at the fact that the six princes of this hall were really innocent for too long, and they couldn't even wait for these two days.

And those spies who were monitoring did not dare to relax when they saw any movement, and followed all the way.

Who knows, Xiao Nanfeng is hoping that they will do this, so that they don't have to worry about any more accidents on the way.

First, these spies were monitoring their movements, and secondly, this was a kind of protection, saving them a lot of trouble on the way.

And how did the spies know that they had been used, and until dusk, they followed the carriage back to the palace of the Ministry of Rites, and found nothing unusual.

Xiao Nanfeng personally came over to pick up the person, and now he sent the person back in person, but it was the third lady herself who picked it up in the morning, but it was Xiao Qingyue who had changed her appearance this night.

In the carriage, Xiao Qingyue was leaning on the man's arms, her fingers gently rubbing the man's injured arm. When I dressed him last night, I found out that he had injured his arm.

Still a little uneasy, he asked, "Does the wound still hurt?" Why are you so ruthless... In order to dispel Xiao Yan's suspicions, he seriously injured himself.

The man couldn't help but hug the person in his arms tightly, "It's not in the way, it's just a skin injury, it will be fine in a few days"

"Are you a child, so badly injured... You still say I don't want to die, I think you don't want to die... ”

Rubbing that arm with some distress, if she hadn't asked again and again, she wouldn't have known that he had stabbed himself with a sword.

He took the little hand and put it to his lips and kissed it, coaxing, "This king promises, there will never be a next time"

Xiao Qingyue pursed her lips and counted, "You have to take good care of your body, your body is not as good as before, if it goes on, won't I be widowed" said and lowered her head to look at her belly, thinking to herself, she didn't want her child to be born without a father.

At this moment, because of these words, the man's kissing action couldn't help but stop, and his face was as gloomy as the weather outside.

Xiao Qingyue noticed the sudden quiet atmosphere, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she crashed into the man's dark eyes... It's over, she's saying the wrong thing again...

The man just stared at her for a moment, and then lowered his head violently and kissed the person in his arms fiercely...

It wasn't until the carriage stopped outside the Rite Servant's Mansion that the kiss ended...

Xiao Nanfeng stared straight into his arms, although he had an unfamiliar face, the familiar big eyes were blurry and moving, his abdomen was tight, and he almost couldn't control himself.

At this time, the voice of the servant came from outside the car, "Master, it's here"

The man was a little reluctant to caress the red lips that were kissed by himself, and said softly, "Don't worry, this king not only wants to watch our child be born, but also to see all the beautiful rivers and mountains with you... As he spoke, he couldn't help but put it in his hot ear, which was already red, and whispered, "As for the body of this king, madam, don't you already know... How can you let your wife be widowed? . . ”

The woman's face under the mask was already flushed, and she quickly pushed away the person in front of her, and said, "I got off" and hurriedly got out of the carriage, she was afraid that she would stay any longer, and she wouldn't want to go back to the Ministry of Rites today. . .

Haitang, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, hurriedly walked over with an umbrella, carefully helped the people in the car to get out of the car, and looked around carefully from time to time while walking.

And although Xiao Qingyue was still shy, as soon as her foot touched the ground, she became cautious.

Holding the hem of her skirt, looking at the road under her feet, entering the house, and seeing the people next to her looking around, she couldn't help but clench the hand holding her and whispered.

"Don't look around, someone is watching"

Haitang's body stiffened when he heard this, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look at it again.

On the carriage behind him, Xiao Nanfeng watched the people enter the mansion before leaving.

When passing by the side of the road, Fang Cai's pleasing smile has been replaced by coldness, and the corners of his mouth are even more sneered...

At this time, those spies were hiding on both sides of the road outside the house, and the two spies couldn't help but communicate with each other as the carriage drove slowly. . .

"Do you want to go back to the palace to make a statement?"

"What's the matter, saying that the sixth prince and the new concubine have a public private meeting?"

“。。。。。” The other spy was silent.

"The emperor said that he wanted useful news, you go back and tell the emperor about this, do you dare to guarantee that the emperor will not be angry?" What's more important is that on this rainy day, they followed all the way, but they didn't find anything, people were drinking tea in the house for recreation, but they were drenched in the rain outside for most of the day, and they were really aggrieved.

“。。。。。” The spy thought about it too, so he had no choice but to give up.

In the mansion, Xiao Qingyue didn't let go of her heart until she entered the mansion and returned to the room.

As soon as she entered the room, Haitang closed the door, and watched cautiously for a while, making sure that there was no one outside, and she dared to speak.

"I was really scared to death last night" Thinking of Xiao Yan, who suddenly visited, she was scared out of sweat on the spot.

Xiao Qingyue smiled comfortingly, "Last night was also a coincidence, I also met a group of people in black on the way back."

Haitang was shocked when she heard this, "Madame was also attacked last night?" Do you know who it is? ”

"Well, if you guess correctly, it should be sent by Yin Jun."

"Why hasn't Yin Horse died yet?"

When Xiao Qingyue heard this, her eyes couldn't help but darken, and she looked at the little girl whose clothes were a little wet.

"Do you know about Yin and us?"

When the words fell, Haitang was obviously stunned for a moment, and replied unhurriedly, "When the slave maid was in Yangzhou earlier, I heard others talk about it in the Xiao Mansion Garden."

Xiao Qingyue stared at those somewhat innocent and ignorant eyes, looking and looking, as if she wanted to verify the truth of these words.

It's not that she's suspicious, at this time, she can't be careless, and she hasn't been with this little girl for too long.

Xiao Qingyue didn't continue to ask more, but she also had an extra eye in her heart...
