60. The Conspiracy Behind Marriage (1)
In the Lanyue Palace in the afternoon, the palace people were lazily sweeping the total amount in the hall.
And in the lake pavilion outside the hall, the crystal bead curtain pours out, behind the curtain, someone wears a veil to stroke the qin, the piano sound flows between the ups and downs of the fingertips, or virtual or real, changeable, like a quiet stream dripping spring is clear and ethereal, exquisitely clear, and then the water gathers into a gurgling strong current, with tenacious vitality through the layers of mountains, reefs and shoals, merge into the rolling rivers and seas, and finally tend to be calm, only the overtones remain, like the waves that the fish leaps over the water surface and splashes occasionally.
The secret guard who was standing on the side hesitated but stepped forward and whispered in her ear, "Master, just now in the Lexian Palace, the prince asked the general to marry An Sijin. ”
"Zheng-" The piano in her hand made a sharp sound, the strings broke in response, and the cosine was thrown on An Siyan's jaw corner, she didn't have time to care about this, she threw the piano on the ground with one hand, eagerly pulled up the secret guard who was kneeling on the ground, and yelled at him, "What do you say!" Say it again! Fast! ”
The Dark Guard lowered his head and gently repeated what he had just said.
This time, An Siyan was not as out of shape as she was just now, she turned around and walked out of the Huxin Pavilion, and instructed the palace people who were standing on the side to sprinkle and sweep, "Let someone go and invite my brother-in-law An Sijin, and say that I want a new set of jewelry." ”
An Siyan was thoughtful here, and there was also a solemn atmosphere in the general's mansion.
The general sat in the study, abandoning all the subordinates, leaving only the butler to serve on the side, he took out a book of paper in the secret pavilion behind the study and handed it to An Sijin.
Then he said in a deep voice, "Ah Jin, there is one thing, I have never told you, and now it has reached a point where I have to say, your mother's death is actually strange, I have been investigating it for the past two years, no matter how I investigate, it is related to the royal family!" ”
He suppressed his somewhat excited mood for a moment, warmed up his breath and continued, "Because when your mother died, there was a dragon talisman left in the room, which is the symbol of the royal secret guard, and only the emperor and the prince have the right to send it. Although I know you don't like the prince, but your father and I ......."
Halfway through the general's speech, he stopped talking, he didn't dare to look at An Sijin, and his face could not hide his shame.
An Sijin listened to a rough idea, and also understood that her father wanted her to help investigate this matter, and marrying the prince was a shortcut.
She was not as angry as she was in the palace just now, but she was a little helpless, and it took a long time before she said a word, "Could it be that in addition to marrying the crown prince, we have no better way to find out the cause of my mother's death?" ”
The general decided not to insist anymore, after all, Fan Hua was dead, and he couldn't ruin his daughter's happiness in vain, he smiled with red eyes, and said softly to Ah Jin, "Forget it, I will personally go to make amends to the prince tomorrow, and I can't ruin your marriage in vain because of my father's selfishness." ”
An Sijin actually wanted to find out about this matter, but if she wanted to marry the prince because of this matter, she was unwilling from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't want to see her father like this.
She sighed, "Dad, don't you rush to see the prince first, I'll think about this matter carefully." ”
The general was about to refuse, when the little maid outside the door came over and knocked on the door, and said loudly, "Master, Concubine Yan in the palace sent someone to invite the little master into the palace." ”
The general frowned, got up and pushed the door, and asked the little guy, "What is the matter with the little young master?!" ”
"Yes, I know that the little young master is blooming like flowers, so I want the little young master to bring a set of jewelry into the palace for the mother to enjoy."
The general was hesitating after hearing this, but An Sijin directly passed him and said to the little guy, "I know, I'll go out later, you go outside the door and wait." ”
After instructing the little girl, he said to his father with a solemn face, "The second sister must have something important to look for me, I will come when I go, and my father doesn't have to be so nervous." ”
The general looked at her with an innocent face, thought about it and decided to admonish, "Your second sister, she, she has actually been in love with the prince for a long time, and now you have just been asked to marry by the prince, she will pass you into the palace, but I think things are not so simple, wait for you to let Shi Zhi pretend to be a little maid to enter the palace with you, so as to protect you." ”
An Sijin nodded, and after letting Shi Zhi change into a small uniform, he left the General's Mansion and got into the carriage prepared by Concubine Yan.
