Volume 2 Watching Chapter 22 Peace of Mind
On the way back to the palace, Chunxi quickly filtered the whole thing. thought about which place she ignored, let the other party seize the opportunity, and set a trap to lure her into the bait.
First of all, she was very convinced that the news brought back by Yanan was not wrong, and it must have been set up before she went to check, or it was arranged like this from the beginning, and Chunxi was more inclined to the former. Then there are only two possibilities: one is that someone leaked the news when they were discussing this matter, so when Yanan went to inquire about the news, he would bring back a wrong result; The second is that someone deliberately led her to discover those things, so Nalan Rongruo became very suspicious.
In Chunxi's mind, she was willing to believe Nalan Rongruo, perhaps because his sincerity moved her and made her suspicious, so that only someone leaked the news.
When this matter was discussed, it was in Yongshou Palace, and there were no precautions at that time because I was in a hurry. If someone overhears their conversation, it's likely to get the word out beforehand. Because after they planned this matter, they waited until it was getting dark before letting Yanan and Nalan Rongruo act.
Now that Nalan Rongruo was still outside the palace and could not enter the palace, Yanan came back and told her as soon as possible. She also went to the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible because she was eager to save people. And at that time, it should not be a coincidence that those Westerners and those ministers were there, at this hour, even if there was really something Xuan Ye would definitely find a way to delay it until tomorrow, instead of discussing it overnight. That must have been the result of their sudden entry into the palace to ask for a meeting.
Chunxi secretly told Mu Hui her thoughts, and told her all her little plans.
Now there are two guards behind the two of them who have been following, this is what Xuan Ye just ordered to send them back, so they have been following.
In order to get rid of them, Chunxi has been walking very slowly. Although the latter two were obviously a little embarrassed and unhappy, they did not stop it.
Just when they passed the Longfu Gate, Chunxi gave Mu Hui a look, and Mu Hui raised her legs and ran in the opposite direction of them.
The two guards scrambled to chase after them, but were stopped by Chunxi: "Your task is to escort the palace back to Yikun Palace, so it's probably not appropriate to leave me rashly." ”
One of the guards had already taken a few steps and stopped when he heard what Chunxi said. This pause gave Mu Hui, who was already running fast, more time, and she turned around and entered another door, disappearing from their sight.
"Let's go." Seeing that Mu Hui had successfully left, Chun Xi raised a smile, turned around and continued to walk forward. Although the two guards were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey the emperor's will. If they walk away rashly, Yi Concubine will say a few words in front of the emperor, and the two of them will be punished at least and lose their official positions at worst. What's more, where Mu Hui is going now, they have no bottom, and it's too late to continue chasing now.
took the two guards back to Yikun Palace, and regardless of what the two guards were talking to the guards of Yikun Palace outside the door, Chunxi walked in.
I heard a voice, and Fu'er had already come out.
"Mother, I'm back."
Chunxi nodded, and raised her hand to let her follow. After entering the main hall, Chun Xi sat on the couch and instructed Fu'er: "Go find a clever palace maid and send some food to the two guard brothers from the Qianqing Palace outside the door in an hour, and it is best to bring some wine." You stare at it from afar, and if you can't, you go over yourself. Find a way to divert their attention. ”
"Niangniang, what are you going to do?" Fu'er looked at Chunxi, but couldn't see any answer on her face.
"Mu Hui will come back later, and she will definitely be stopped by the two at the door, no matter what method you use, you must let Mu Hui enter the door smoothly." Chun Xi said.
"But Sister Muhui is originally from Yikun Palace, why can't she come in?" Fu'er didn't understand it even more.
"The moment I came in from the main palace, Yikun Palace had already allowed no one to enter or leave, and Mu Hui was sent by the main palace to do something just now, and she couldn't come back with me. It's going to be hard to get in later, so you'll have to get things done. "Chun Xi will roughly say what happened in the Qianqing Palace again, so let Fu'er go down and prepare first, and wait for Mu Hui to come back.
Mu Hui is very punctual, or she is doing things very smoothly, so that she can come back on time. As expected by Chunxi, the two guards in front of the door deliberately made things difficult, but they were entangled by Fu'er and others, and they could only let Mu Hui slip in from the side.
"Mother." Mu Hui came in a little gasp, and it seemed that she was in a hurry to come back.
Chun Xi handed her a cup of tea that had already been prepared, she drank it all, put down the teacup and took a deep breath and began to say: "Niang Niang is like a god, and someone is indeed making trouble about this." I went to Yongshou Palace according to what Niangniang said, and told Concubine Yun what happened. Concubine Yun soon found out the spy hidden in the Yongshou Palace. ”
"Found it in less than an hour? Sister Yun is very efficient. Chunxi praised, if something happened in his palace, I am afraid he would not be able to find the direction quickly. Being able to find people from it in such a short period of time, I have to say that Concubine Yun has a very good set of management in her palace.
Speaking of this, Mu Hui was also very energetic, and she also personally saw how Concubine Yun found that person, and Mu Hui talked about it in detail.
The moment Mu Hui entered, she immediately asked Concubine Yun to lock the door so that no one would enter or leave. When she learned the truth, Concubine Yun immediately asked all the eunuchs and maids in her palace to go to the main hall and interrogate them one by one.
First of all, after those concubines, some new palace maids and eunuchs were investigated, so it was very fast.
I asked everyone what they had done today, and the person who was arranged to come in quickly revealed his flaws.
It was a little eunuch who was bribed by Aunt Lianxue beside Concubine Tong, saying that he wanted to tell her everything in the Yongshou Palace, and if he found that Yi Concubine was going, he would tell her the content of the conversation as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Chun Xi couldn't help but feel that this Concubine Tong was really a good means, she had long known that she would go to Concubine Yun, and she also deliberately asked people to bribe the little eunuch to do internal response, so that everything could not escape her eyes.
Chun Xi was a little suspicious of the people in his palace, but he quickly dispelled his thoughts, and now the newcomers to Yikun Palace have been carefully selected by the consultant firm. Most of them are more trusted people under the consultants, and they shouldn't be wrong.
Then it can only be said that Concubine Tong's luck is really good. If she had come back from Yongshou Palace at that time, then Nalan Rongruo would not have gone to Yongshou Palace to find her, and the matter would not have been overheard, giving Concubine Tong a head start.
In this way, it is only more certain that Concubine Tong has nothing to do with things, but she is trapped in Yikun Palace. Although she knew that Xuan Ye didn't mean to lock her up, it was best for her to do so under the circumstances.
Until the time he was young, he had not slept yet. She wants to find another breakthrough to save Han Ji. But I can't get any results after thinking about it.
There was a noise outside the hall, and Xuan Xi opened the window to look over, and saw Xuan Ye walking towards her dormitory alone.
Chun Xi walked down and went to open the door, and Xuan Ye just walked to the door.
"Haven't slept yet?" Xuan Ye was a little surprised when he saw her come out. Seeing that she was thinly dressed, he immediately pulled her into the house: "There is wind at the door, it's not good to catch a cold." ”
"How's it going?" More than herself, she can't wait to know the answer.
Xuan Ye bowed his head and was silent, a little embarrassed, and then asked another question before he said slowly: "I have to tell you a not very good news." ”
"You compromised? Will my sister still be sent to the third division for interrogation? Seeing him nodding, Chunxi was not angry, but just sighed. She had already made preparations for these as early as when she left the Qianqing Palace, and it was not surprising.
"But I'll bring it back tomorrow, and I'll secretly send someone to protect her. No one will ever execute her again. This matter has affected you, you don't want to do anything now, lest the scene become more and more chaotic, if there is someone behind this matter, he must be staring at you tightly. Xuan Ye said.
Seeing Chun Xi nodded, Xuan Ye said again: "My people have already found the second brother, but I still don't understand what you are looking for him to do?" ”
"Before my sister was taken away, I once left the word prince. I thought it was Prince Yu at one time, so I asked him for help. But later it turned out that what my sister was referring to may be Prince Gong. Chun Xi said truthfully.
"Why do you think so?"
It was not easy to say that this matter was related to Concubine Tong, and she was afraid that Xuan Ye would do something when she was angry, so she had to skip that section: "Someone told me that Prince Gong and those Westerners had a past before, so I was so suspicious." But it's still impossible to know exactly what's going on. ”
"When it comes to relations with Westerners, my second brother is better than my fifth brother. He befriended a Westerner in his early years, and learned a lot of Western culture from him. Since Han Ji has mentioned the word prince, it is inconvenient for you to investigate now, so it is better to let the second brother do it. ”
After listening to Xuan Ye's words, Chun Xi also understood why Han Ji communicated with the dead Westerner, it turned out to be because of Prince Yu. It seems that this Western culture is very likely to have been taught by Prince Yu to Han Ji. Thinking that Xuan Ye's proposal was good, Chun Xi also agreed: "It's okay." It was inconvenient for me to act in the palace, and now after this farce, it is indeed inappropriate to act. It's not bad to hand it over to Prince Yu, plus there is Lord Zhang investigating this matter, and there is a third brother you are maneuvering around, so I have to wait for news here. ”
"Actually, today's events aren't entirely against you." Xuan Ye said: "Do you remember that one of the people present at the time offered to check all the people. ”
Chunxi said: "Naturally, I remember, it was because of this that I found out that I had been tricked." There must be something wrong with that person, he had a conflict with his sister before, and he must have been the one who got in the way. ”
"I have sent for his latest correspondence, and I have had him followed. Including the few Westerners who were confirmed to be true, I also had them all watched all night. You'll always find a clue from it. Before that, no matter how the third division tried Han Ji, I could keep her worry-free. ”
Xuan Ye's words touched Chunxi, and she felt how happy she was to have such a husband who thought about herself. For the first time, she felt that he was also good as an emperor.
At least, in such a situation, he can still consider his safety and mood for the first time.
"Third brother, thank you......" Chunxi hugged him tightly, she couldn't think of anything else to say for a while, she just wanted to thank him.
It's nice to have him here!
