"A-Niang, is there any lady in the capital whose surname is Xin?" Laneige jumped towards Mrs. Xingyongbo, wearing a light cherry color dress that looked very cute and cute.

Hearing her daughter's call, Mrs. Xingyongbo raised her head and paused, "Xin? The eighth nephew daughter of the daughter-in-law of the Liu family just married into a family surnamed Xin, what do you ask for. ”

Laneige shook his head when he heard this, "I'm not asking this, I'm talking about whether the nobles in the capital, or the ministers of the court, have the surname Xin." ”

Mrs. Xingyongbo glanced at her, "What are you doing with this?" Laneige smugly took out a purple purse from his bosom, which at first glance didn't look very special. Mrs. Xingyongbo took her hand and asked curiously, "When did you make this, the color is a little plain." ”

Laneige was immediately interested, and his eyes were shining, "I didn't do it, I stole this from my brother." Mrs. Xingyongbo glared at her, Lanzhi stuck out her tongue and said, "A few days ago, I found out that my brother was always in a daze with this purse, and when I asked him, he refused to say it, and mysteriously said that someone else took it wrong. Ah Niang, although this material is vegetarian, this is a new one from the Red Sleeve Workshop, and I have seen it from Sister Yan Niang. ”

Mrs. Xingyong handed the purse back to Laneige, and her tone was a little reprimanded, "If he refuses to say, he will go, you steal it out to do things, and he will scold you when he comes back." ”

Laneige shrugged her shoulders disapprerovingly, she just switched, she didn't think that Yan Kaizhi would be careful enough to recognize that the purse was transferred, "Ah Niang, it doesn't matter, I'm curious about which lady took this purse wrongly, maybe she can climb a good family." That's why I just opened it to see what it was, and then I found this. Laneige opened the sachet and took out a concentric knot, which she carefully opened and unfolded into two strips of white cloth. It can also be seen from her skillful methods that this is not the first time she has done this kind of thing.

"A-Niang, you see, here one has the name of the elder brother written on it, and the other has the name of the other."

Mrs. Xingyongbo looked confused, and when she took it from Laneige again, she was stunned by the words on it. Laneige didn't notice her mother's expression, and said to herself: "I asked Yu's mother, and she said that in some places, people will write their names and sweethearts' names and birthdays on silk, and then tie them into concentric knots and bury them in the incense ashes of the Yuelao Temple, and Yuelao will help them pull the red thread." Although there is no birthday written on it, I think it also means, so I just, huh? Auntie, what are you doing! Laneige saw that Mrs. Xingyongbo got up and looked for scissors, and decisively crushed the white cloth.

"Laneige, listen, no one is allowed to say anything about this, and if your brother asks about it, you shouldn't know it." Mrs. Xingyongbo's serious expression startled Laneige.

"Why?" Lanzhi looked at a table of broken cloths, crying and sad, originally thinking of using this to turn around and blackmail Yan Kaizhi to tell the truth, but now it really has to be kept secret.

Mrs. Xingyong sighed, "There is no one surnamed Xin among the officials and nobles in Beijing, and if you have to count it, it is the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of Li Gelao, that is, the eldest daughter of General Dingxi, Xin Zixuan. She thought about it, and suddenly felt her heart beating fast and a little out of breath. Xin Zimo is the youngest daughter of General Dingxi, and she was just married to the prince not long ago. ”

Laneige came to her senses at this time, covered her mouth incredulously, and whispered, "Isn't she already dead?" A pair of eyes turned around flexibly, and the little hand squeezed the dress nervously, "How can the princess's purse be here with my brother, no!" This satin is freshly produced, but ......"

Mrs. Xingyong looked over sharply, twisted the purse a few times, and threw it on the table, "No, but, just treat this purse as if it doesn't exist, and burn it later." No matter who this thing is, it can't be known, especially the people from the Three Kings' Mansion. "If people know that someone makes the name of the princess and the name of Yan Kaizhi into a concentric knot, this is simply equivalent to Xingyongbo's Mansion being like the Three Kings' Mansion provocative, and the other party is still the princess who has just passed away.

The camp between the eldest son and the second prince of the emperor is fighting happily, and it is inevitable that there will be people who have many things, comparing Hongfang and Yan Kaizhi. One is an uncle and brother who grew up with the emperor's eldest son, and the other is a right-hand man who is deeply liked by the second prince.

The loss of the princess in the Three Princes' Mansion is sad enough, if someone is found to make a fuss about Yan Kaizhi and the princess, I am afraid that even if the Three Princes Mansion does not care, the people next to him will have a lot of trouble.

It doesn't matter if Mrs. Xing Yongbo is so nervous, now Yan Kaizhi has just been pushed to the forefront because of the negligence of the Soldiers and Horses, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to calm down again. Laneige didn't know that her mother was thinking so far, looking at the broken purse, Laneige cried and didn't know what to do. Originally, I only had to worry that if Yan Kaizhi found out that I dropped the bag, I would inevitably come back to her to settle accounts, but now the game is completely over.

Just when Lanzhi was thinking about how to pretend to be stupid and deceive Yan Kaizhi, suddenly a strong man ran in and fell to the ground on one knee.

"Madam, the young master asked you to enter the palace quickly." The man said with a serious face.

"What's going on? Isn't he out of town? Mrs. Xingyongbo clutched her chest, feeling her brow jumping all the time, which made her very uneasy.

The man shook his head, "The second prince's person came to report that the young master asked you to enter the palace and accompany the imperial concubine." Seeing that Mrs. Xingyongbo's face was ugly, she hesitated for a moment and whispered a few words in Mrs. Xingyongbo's ear. The carriage is ready for you, right at the door. ”

Suddenly, Mrs. Xingyongbo felt as if her heart was about to stop, and Laneige was so frightened that she hurriedly supported her. She relieved herself, stopped being verbose, and said to Laneige: "You stay at home obediently, keep the door watched, and I'll take a look when I enter the palace." ”

Laneige was in a hurry: "I'll go too!" ”

Mrs. Xingyong said sharply: "Nonsense, stay at home for me!" ”

Without looking at Laneige, who was so frightened that tears were about to fall out, he got up and went out with him.

Although the emperor was in an emergency at night, and the matter of his life was not spreading, he summoned all the imperial doctors into the palace early, and it was not yet in the early court, and any person would be suspicious. It's just that Yan Kaizhi is not in the city, and Mrs. Xingyongbo doesn't like to leave early, so she delayed it for so long and waited for the palace to notify her before leaving.

There was no news all morning, and all the informed, speculative, hearsay, were nervously waiting.

When Li Sinian and his party entered the city, they unexpectedly found that the streets were terrifyingly deserted, and they had even prepared for the worst.

After getting out of the carriage, someone immediately came to invite Li Sinian to Taihe Garden, and everyone else went back to their own houses with them. Hearing the person's serious tone, everyone couldn't help but gasp, Yan Sui was a little uneasy, and followed Yichen to Xuyuan, and the remaining three girls all returned to Xiyuan tremblingly.

"Why did you get back?" The Ling clan was a little surprised by their return.

The three of them looked at each other tacitly, and did not say Li Sinian's words, "Brother Yichen is not feeling well, and the second brother is afraid that Zhuangzi is too cold, so he will come back." A-Niang, is there something going on in Beijing? Wanhua sat down next to Ling, and the other two girls were also nervously waiting for Ling's answer.

Ling glanced at them, sighed, and said, "I heard that something happened in the palace, so I summoned the imperial doctor into the palace early in the morning, and there is no news yet." Suddenly sighed and said, "It's good for you to come back, so you don't have to send people to run an extra trip." Your uncle has entered the palace, and your father will go to Taiheyuan to accompany your grandfather, and he will probably come back as soon as there is news. I asked the Cui family to open all the warehouses and take white cloths, and if you are bored, you can help. ”

"Is it really that dangerous?" Hearing that the Ling family actually asked Cui's mother to open a warehouse to take the white cloth, Shaohua suddenly felt extremely nervous.

"Who knows, there is no news in the morning, it's noon, if there is no news again...... Ling suddenly sighed, "It's still your grandfather who is sophisticated, let's just wait and obey orders, at this time, I don't know how many people are going to die in a hurry." ”

Shaohua understood the meaning of Ling's words, in case the emperor died, in addition to dealing with the funeral, the most important thing was the new emperor. Originally, the prince was sensitive, but now it is a hot potato, and he can't escape it. Martial law began in the city, and as soon as news came out of the palace, the palace door was immediately closed. It's just that no matter whether the eldest son of the emperor succeeds to the throne or the second son of the emperor succeeds to the throne, I am afraid that it will not be easy for people to surrender. Whether anything else will happen at that time, no one can be sure.

Thinking that Yan Kaizhi also followed into the palace, in case it was the emperor's eldest son who succeeded to the throne, and then he would have to eradicate dissidents, and Xingyong Bofu didn't know if it would be the first to suffer. But if the second son of the emperor succeeds to the throne, the eldest son of the emperor is angry, and it is hard to say, will the Xingyong Bofu be angry.

Shaohua suddenly understood why Li Sinian refused to let her like Yan Kaizhi at the beginning. In other words, Xingyong Bofu has to be preserved, which means that the second prince can succeed to the throne, and Xingyong Bofu is definitely the most sought-after place.

"I heard that not long after the eldest prince entered the city, the second prince also rushed back, I'm afraid it's hard to say." The Ling family was a little glad that Li Xunzhuo was not from the imperial court, otherwise she would have been like the Liu family at this time, going around the house in circles.

"The Great Prince...... Why did he come back? Shaohua was stunned.

Wanhua said angrily: "Such a big thing, can you not come back?" ”

Shaohua frowned, unable to say the awkwardness in his heart, "No, I mean that Guoan Temple is not close to the capital, even if you rush back all the way, it is impossible to be faster than the second prince." ”

Ling Shi glanced at her and didn't care, "How do you know it's impossible, maybe you set off last night." ”

Although the direction of Yanshangju and Guoan Temple is not the same, out of the city gate, less than ten miles of road is divided into two. But after careful calculation, Yan Shangju is more than ten miles closer than Guoan Temple. Hongyi still has an imperial concubine's mother in the palace, so he must have sent someone to rush over immediately, and Hongyi rushed back without hesitation. If it is said that people rushed to two places at the same time, and Hongyi and Hongwen both left immediately, it was impossible to arrive at the same time. Even at the same time, Hongwen is unlikely to be ahead of Hongyi.

Unless Hongwen knew about it, he wasn't in the Guoan Temple at all.

Seeing that the Ling family had changed the topic, they didn't linger on this heavy matter, and Shaohua didn't say this idea. It's just that she has a faint sense of foreboding, I hope Yan Kaizhi can be safe, and I hope this disaster can survive.
