"Uncle, do you know anything about the burning down of that big house?"

The old man touched his beard and said to Dugu Yi slowly: "The old man doesn't know the specific reason for this, but the old man probably knows who used to live in that house." ”

"What is that like, uncle, please tell me." Duguyi's face was indifferent, but he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart.

That was more than ten years ago: "The old man didn't live in the south of the city at that time. Regarding the things in the capital, the old man really didn't know much. But the old man also heard about the fire in the mansion in the southwest of the capital. ”

The old man said unhurriedly, and before he finished his two sentences, he picked up the cup and finished the tea. Waiting for Dugu Yi and the two dark guards, they really didn't know what to say.

I saw the old man drinking tea in a hurry, but he drank a small cup of tea for a long time.

His every movement made Dugu Yi look at it carefully, but at this moment, in his eyes, time seemed to stand still.

Finally, when the old man put down the cup, cleared his throat, opened his mouth again and continued to say to Dugu Yi:

At that time, the old man only heard a rumor that a large family's house in the south of the capital had burned down. The old man usually doesn't believe these market words. But it was later confirmed by the government that this was indeed the case. ”

"Do you know what kind of family this is, old gentleman?" Dugu Yi asked curiously.

"This, it is said to be ......" The old man was about to answer him, but suddenly stared at Dugu Yi again, and asked him rhetorically: "What are you asking about these, who are you?" ”

Dugu Yi and the two secret guards glanced at each other, and then returned to the old man and said, "That's the case, uncle, we are here to play in the capital." I traveled all over the capital, and I accidentally saw the ruined house, and because I was curious, I wanted to know the story of it. ”

"Story?" The old man smiled contemptuously: "If you want to hear a story, you have to know the story of this burned house." ”

As soon as the old man said this, Duguyi couldn't help but feel even more helpless. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to know something from this old man's mouth. However, after a while, I heard the old man ask, "Are you really just here to play in the capital?" ”

"Yes, uncle." Dugu Yi and the two dark guards nodded in unison.

"You're not from the government?"

"We're really not from the government."

"Actually, it's nothing, I just heard at the time that the big family that was on fire seemed to be living in an official's house." The old man talked for a long time, and Duguyi finally heard a useful word.

"Official?" Duguyi couldn't help but be stunned.

"Uncle, do you know what kind of official the owner of that family is, and what is his name?"

"How do I know that?" The old man waved his hand in disgust and turned his head away.

"Is that all you know, uncle?" Dugu Yi asked again.

"yes, not really." The old man spread his hands.

Ben still had great expectations, but he didn't expect to know that the owner of the family was an official. But in fact, if you think about it, knowing the identity of the owner of that family is indeed an important clue.

"Uncle, do you know where all the people in that family have gone, and are there still people now?"

"I don't know." The old man still denied it: "Living in a place like the capital, where would ordinary people like us know so many things." ”

The old man's attitude was good for a while, and a little strange for a while. Although Dugu Yi didn't understand, he still thanked the old man and left with the two secret guards.

It happened twelve years ago, and the owner of the family was an official. Although the time is long, there are two clues like this, and you should be able to find out something.

Just looking at the scene when Duguyi and them left, the old man's eyes were a little meaningful.

Knowing this, Duguyi couldn't help but think about it again.

Although the matter about this abandoned mansion has nothing to do with him, he especially wants to find out the truth. In addition, now I know that the owner of this village is an official, no matter whether it is a big official or a small official, this is a person who has something to do with the imperial court.

Twelve years ago, he was a casual child. As a court official during the lifetime of his father, Emperor Jingdi. What happened to that family, whether there is still a living mouth now, where are the people, and what kind of unknown secrets are behind this, Duguyi wants to find out very much.

is an official, and there are still many old ministers from twelve years ago in the court. If he wanted to solve this question, he could only summon the old ministers to ask when he returned to the palace.

Behind this abandoned mansion, whether it is a vendetta or another case, he Dugu Yi must figure it out.

"Your Highness, do you want to go back to the palace now?" A dark guard asked Dugu Yi.

"There's no hurry." Dugu Yi raised his hand and waved.

"I've got somewhere else to go."

"Niangniang, do you really want to win over Concubine Zhuang Niangniang to join you?"

"Not so."

For Feng Zhaoyuan's thoughts today, her personal palace maid Shu'er was also a little puzzled, and when Feng Zhaoyuan was at ease, she also asked her curiously.

"What are you asking for?" Feng Zhaoyuan then turned her head again, looked at the book and asked her.

"The slave is just worried about the mother, what if the mother can't win her over, but instead tells the emperor or other mothers about it?"

"You don't have to worry about that." Feng Zhaoyuan smiled and said to Shu'er: "I know her a little, she is a timid person. If she had the courage to tell anyone else, she would have had the courage to agree to join forces with me. ”

"That's fine, Shu'er will rest assured for Niangniang."

When Feng Zhaoyuan heard this, he only glanced at it, and then said again: "Shu'er, in the future, what should be known to you, this palace will naturally let you know." Things you shouldn't know, don't ask much. ”

"Yes, mother, the book is too talkative."

Feng Zhaoyuan is indeed not stupid, although Shu'er is her personal palace maid.

But since the entire harem knew about Fu Xing'er being framed, she also washed away the lessons, and she didn't say anything about her personal palace maid.

As for wanting to win over Fu Xing'er today, only she knows that she is testing Fu Xing'er.

"By the way, Niangniang, the slave still remembers one thing."

"What's the matter, say."

"Niangniang, the slave maid suddenly remembered that the mercy in the queen's palace, will she tell our secret."

"You mean that palace maid in Fengluan Palace?"

"Hui Niangniang, it's her."

Hearing Shu'er mention this matter, Feng Zhaoyuan suddenly became vigilant, thought for a while, and then said to the palace maid Shu'er: "Shu'er, have you thought of such a thing until now that it's too late?" ”

When she heard the ......book, she didn't think about it, and then knelt on the ground: "Slave maid...... The slave is useless, and I really forgot to remind the mother that there is such a thing before. ”

Feng Zhaoyuan looked nonchalant. looked at the appearance of the book, and said to her again:

"But you don't have to worry about that. What did that Lianxiang do, there will be a smart person to deal with her instead of us, and we should not be any threat. ”

So saying, he let the book that was kneeling on the ground get up.

"Also, Shu'er, this palace asks you, where was that mercy incense sent by the emperor."

"If you go back to your mother, it seems that you have been sent to the's clothes room where you do hard work."

"Okay, you find a suitable time another day, and quietly go to the Huanyi room to take a look and see if the mercy is still there."

"Yes, mother, slave and maid obey."

Chen Yanxue listened to Fu Xing'er's suggestion and hoped that she could conceive Duguyi's child soon.

She thought about it alone for a long time. If she can conceive Duguyi's child, compared to the unworthy child in Yang Ziqi's belly, Duguyi will definitely be able to treat her differently from others in the future.

She won't let Yang Ziqi know about such a thing. No matter how deep the sisterhood is, it will also divide you and me. also loves a man deeply, how can she be willing to envy on the sidelines.

has been with Yang Ziqi for so long, and she has seen Duguyi's kindness to her and her care countless times.

Although she is the second imperial concubine after Yang Ziqi. But she herself knew that Dugu Yi's heart towards her was 108,000 miles worse than Yang Ziqi.

"Father-in-law Gao, what's the matter, the emperor still refuses to see the harem concubines."

Chen Yanxue came to the outside of the Heqing Palace again, and asked Gonggong Gao to report Duguyi with great anticipation.

But the answer that Gao Gonggong brought out still shook his head.

"The emperor has refused to see the harem concubines for two days. Why is that? Chen Yanxue's heart was very puzzled.

Dugu Yi even included Yang Ziqi among the people who couldn't see her, but Chen Yanxue still came to her with that faint hope.

"That Gao Gonggong, is it because the emperor hasn't come out of the last Ying Meiren incident?" Thinking of Ying'er's death, Chen Yanxue asked eagerly again.

"Not really, mother." Gao Gonggong denied:

"Although the harem is rumored that the emperor was frightened by the death of the Ying Beauty, in fact, the emperor didn't care about that incident for a long time. The emperor has been busy recently, because he is entangled in government affairs and can't take a break, so he doesn't have time to meet the ladies in the harem. ”

"But the emperor has never been like this. Even if he doesn't have time to come to the harem, it's good to let the palace take a look at him. Chen Yanxue didn't believe Grandpa Gao's explanation:

Why did he have to isolate himself like this? Hongu was really worried about him. ”

"Niangniang, don't worry, with the old slave taking care of you, the emperor will be fine. Moreover, the emperor should have his own reasons for doing this, and when the emperor is willing to come out to see all the mothers, it is not too late for the mother to ask the emperor. ”

Chen Yanxue couldn't listen to what Gao Gonggong said.

The more she couldn't see Duguyi, the more she wanted to see it.

"By the way, Gonggong Gao, you said that the emperor is entangled in government affairs, what kind of government affairs is it? Is it related to my dad? ”

"This ...... The specific old slave doesn't know either. The affairs of the emperor and the ministers of the court will never be told to the old slave. ”

"I know, Grandpa Gao." Speaking of this, Chen Yanxue couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Even if the emperor hasn't said it explicitly, but Bengong knows that Bengong's father is a difficult person to get along with, and Bengong has persuaded him many times, but Bengong is only a female streamer after all, and what he says is useless." ”

"Niangniang...... looked at Chen Yanxue's self-blame and helplessness, and Father-in-law Gao was also a little uncomfortable, which was similar to Duguyi's opinion.

Chen Yanxue is such a good person, but it's a pity that she is Chen Ping's daughter. Because of this, she probably didn't know that her position as the imperial concubine was already Duguyi's greatest grace to her.

And the position of the queen, even if there is no Yang Ziqi, has nothing to do with her. Because she is Chen Ping's daughter.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about that. As long as it is in the emperor's heart, he recognizes you. ”

Gao Gonggong's words really persuaded to the point.

Indeed, Chen Yanxue is Chen Ping's daughter in the palm of his hand. For the struggle between him and Duguyi, even if she doesn't know, she can't know nothing.

But in front of Duguyi, she must look helpless about her father. On the one hand, it is to preserve his good impression in Duguyi's heart.

On the other hand, he also hopes to reduce Duguyi's hostility to Chen Ping through his own transitional relationship.
