Chapter 267: Mysterious Invitation
"Knock on the princess!"
Chen Yi, who was counting things in the study, saw Mu Qingyan's appearance, and immediately stopped what he was doing and stepped forward to salute.
"Excuse me!"
"Thank you, Princess!" Chen Yi thanked respectfully.
Mu Qingyan looked at the books in front of her that were placed in different categories, and couldn't help but open her eyes, and said, "Are all the books here collected by the first emperor?"
As soon as Chen heard this, he immediately replied respectfully: "Yes, these books were left by the first emperor, but, according to the old man in the garden, the first emperor of this study room has never used them. ”
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan was even more curious, the first emperor specially built a study for his mother?
"Wasn't this study planned from the very beginning?"
"Back to the princess, this was originally a dormitory and later converted into a study, and there are remodeled documents. Chen Yi replied respectfully.
Mu Qingyan listened to the words and asked a lot about Tsinghua Villa.
And because, although Chen Yi has managed Tsinghua Villa for many years, he was also transferred to King's Landing later, and he doesn't know much about many old things.
"That is, this study is the closest room to Qingchi?"
Listening to Mu Qingyan's inquiry, Chen Yi lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Yes! The princess has anything else she wants to ask her subordinates? If her subordinates don't know, they can find someone to solve the princess's doubts." ”
"Not for the time being, you can get busy first!" Mu Qingyan has basically already asked what she wants to ask, and if there are any questions that need to be asked, she hasn't thought about it yet, and it's not too late.
Now, she came here mainly to see this study, why, to see if she could find clues from it.
"There are a lot of things to do these days, if there is anything that the subordinates have not taken care of, the princess can send someone to tell the subordinates, and later, the subordinates will send someone to send it, and the subordinates will sort out the things here first. Chen Yi said respectfully.
"Okay! I'll take a look around here myself. Mu Qingyan replied lightly.
"That subordinate retires!" Chen Yi heard this, turned around and walked to the pile of subordinates, and continued to direct the sorting out of the books moved out of the study.
Mu Qingyan looked at Chen Yi's back, her eyes couldn't help but sink, and she always felt that something was wrong!
At the moment of contemplation, Luan'er's voice sounded.
"Princess!"
"What's the matter?"
As soon as Mu Qingyan's words fell, Luan'er had already come to her side and said softly: "In the side room in front, Steward Chen said that it can lead to Qingchi. So, did Madame hide something somewhere in the side room?"
When Mu Qingyan heard this, her eyes moved slightly, and she said, "What you said is also possible, let's go in and take a look." ”
"Yes!" Luan'er, Yan'er heard the words and immediately responded.
Mu Qingyan stepped forward and walked towards the side room of the study, which was a very delicate side room, with a bed and a table, and a few plates of potted plants, and a painting of Danqing hanging on the wall.
It looks very elegant, there is a door in the side room, I don't know what the material is, but it is very good-looking, and the pattern on it is the language of flowers and birds.
stepped forward and pushed it, Mu Qingyan felt a warm touch in her hand, it was very comfortable, and thought, this should be a stone door caused by some kind of precious stone.
The door that was pushed open opened opened to present a beautiful view.
The clear pond enters the eye, the green mountains, green water, flowers and birds are beautiful, just like looking at a painting in front of the window.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, it's so beautiful!" Yan'er couldn't help but exclaim when she saw it.
Seeing this, Luan'er was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, it's really super beautiful, as if you have entered a fairyland." It's just such a beautiful scenery, why has Steward Chen never mentioned it, and the prince hasn't mentioned it to the princess?"
Mu Qingyan's eyes flickered slightly, looking at the scene in front of her, she walked forward very naturally.
As she walked through the passage, some strange voice rang in her ears......
The passage is not long, but it is a journey of dozens of steps, and Mu Qingyan will arrive in front of Qingchi, which she has become familiar with these days, in a while.
Hey, suddenly, Mu Qingyan, who was standing in front of Qingchi, saw a fleeting image, which was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
It's a pity that it shook too fast, and she couldn't see it very well.
"Luan'er, Yan'er, have you two seen it?"
Luan'er, Yan'er heard this, looked puzzled, and said, "Princess, we didn't see anything! Did the princess see something?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan's eyes moved, and she bowed her head and said, "Just now, I saw a scene reflected in the clear pool, it seemed to be a room or something. However, there are only green mountains and green waters, blue skies and white clouds around Qingchi, how can such a scene be reflected?"
"Princess, are you dazzled, the reflections in the clear pond are all the shadows of trees!" Yan'er stepped forward to take a look and said.
"Impossible, I'm looking very real!" Mu Qingyan said.
Luan'er said, "Otherwise, let's continue to wait here, waiting for the scene that the princess just saw to appear again." ”
Mu Qingyan listened, nodded, and said, "Luan'er is right, since I can see it, it means that that scene will appear again." We're just waiting here!"
However, this is a few hours later.
Mu Qingyan really suspected that she was dazzled and misunderstood, and after staying here for a few hours, she didn't see anything.
At this time, Zhang Heng's voice sounded outside.
"Princess, the subordinate is Zhang Heng!"
"Come in, what's the matter?"
When the words fell, Zhang Heng's person had already appeared in front of him and said, "Princess, the prince asked you to prepare and return to Beijing tomorrow." ”
When Mu Qingyan heard this, her eyes moved slightly, and she said, "Okay, I know!
"Yes, the subordinates retired!" When Zhang Heng withdrew, he glanced at Luan'er on the side, and he was a little shy.
After Zhang Heng left, Mu Qingyan also gave up the idea of continuing to wait, and then said to Luan'er and Yan'er: "Let's go back and clean up, clean up!"
Before she knew it, she had been coming to Tsinghua Garden for some time, and the things she experienced here were unforgettable.
However, during this time, the effect of soaking in the hot springs in the Tsinghua Garden was particularly significant, and the injuries behind the back were healed in seven days with their own special ointment and one in a hundred medicines.
What's even more amazing is that the wound on the back has no scar, like a peeled egg.
and after being abused by Lin Rong and them, the traces that left a small shallow light that had always given her a headache also disappeared.
Huaqing Pool has to be said to be a super health resort, and it would be even better if the ability to cause trouble was gone.
"Princess, can you leave like this before you find the matter of the city lord of Hangzhou?" Luan Er followed Mu Qingyan and asked on the side.
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan said lightly: "Since Han Shilin was captured by Chu Jin, or by the people of the Lin family, it means that the weapon layout diagram has not been found. Han Shilin has not died yet, and in the same way, for such an important person, the prince will naturally send someone to save people. ”
"So, we still don't need to worry about these things, as for the secret scroll of the Aquarium, we need to spend more time and energy to find it. After all, now that we have not found the enemy or the enemy, and the weapon layout is hidden, there is a lot to do. ”
"What does the princess mean?" Luan'er frowned, unable to understand for a while.
"Perhaps, as long as you find the secret scroll of the water tribe, you can solve the mystery......"
I returned to the main courtyard.
Luan'er and Yan'er got busy, because what Zhang Heng said was too hasty, so the two of them could only speed up at this time and sort out what they needed to bring when they left tomorrow.
The two work together, one to pack clothes, the other to organize books and jewelry.
The movements are crisp and skillful......
Time flies, and the next day is just a blink of an eye.
In front of the gate of the Tsinghua Garden, there were two carriages waiting.
After King's Landing and Mu Qingyan walked out of the main entrance, Mu Rin walked out next.
Seeing this, King's Landing hugged Mu Qingyan into the carriage, and Mu Rin got into another carriage.
At this time, the situation in the capital is very bad, and the rebellion is very involved.
Not only were the ministers close to the third prince Jun Yan Lie chased, but even the officials who had a relationship with the second prince Jun Qingzhen were also investigated, and such a wave was even more unexpected.
The emperor is seriously ill and seems to ignore the government affairs, and the prince has the right to supervise the country and seems to be determined to use this incident to kill the chickens and monkeys.
The silence of the fourth prince is more like supporting the prince's approach, and it fuels the prince's arrogance.
When Mu Rin left the capital, he also deliberately said that he was sick and was recuperating in the mansion, because he didn't want to go to the court to see those things he didn't want to see.
And, here in Hangzhou City, from where Mu Qingyan heard something, his heart was full of worries.
So far, Han Shilin has not been found, and he doesn't know if he was taken away by Chu Jin or captured by the Lin family, and he is even more afraid that if Han Shilin encounters an accident, the person who best proves that the Lin family has a heart of rebellion will not be there.
What's more important is that the weapon formation map records how many weapons the Lin family has built privately, and what kind of peek they have made of the land of the Daduan Dynasty.
As long as this matter does not come to fruition, his heart will not be at peace for a day.
As a general of the Daduan Dynasty, he knew best that if a veteran like Lin Hanting wanted to rebel, he would be much more powerful than ordinary courtiers.
Because, Lin Hanting was originally a powerful general, and there were really few people who could match such things as fighting, and besides, Lin Hanting's familiarity with the terrain of the Daduan Dynasty also took advantage of the geographical advantages and people.
Just as he was thinking about it, the carriage stopped.
Out of doubt, Mu Rin asked Zhaolin outside the carriage, "What happened, why did the carriage stop and not leave?"
Outside the carriage, Zhaolin heard this, and then replied: "Back to the eldest young master, it seems that there is something wrong in front, so I will go and see what the situation is." ”
After a while, Zhaolin returned.
Mu Rin lifted the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhaolin said: "In front of the carriage of the prince and the princess, an old couple blocked the way. ”
Hearing this, Mu Rin raised his eyebrows and asked, "How can you get in the way?"
"It was an old couple who were in a hurry, and suddenly, they fell ill and fell in front of the carriage of the prince and the princess, causing the carriage to be unable to move forward. The princess was getting out of the carriage and treating the old woman. Zhaolin told the truth what he saw.
When Mu Rin heard this, his brows raised slightly, and he said, "Then what's going on now?"
Mu Qingyan seems to be ruthless, and her methods are also ruthless to those who have hurt her, but she is actually a soft-hearted and kind person than anyone else!
It's just that on such a cold day, she is so afraid of the cold, it's not good to stay outside the carriage for a long time.
"When the subordinates just went, the princess had already rescued people. The carriage should go!" Zhaolin replied.
Not long after the words fell, the carriage procession really continued to move.
Such an episode is also forgotten......
Since the best horses were used, the carriages of the Four Kings' Mansion soon returned to the capital.
Shao Dong personally waited at the door of the Four Princes' Mansion to welcome the return of King's Landing and Mu Qingyan.
After returning to the Four Kings' Mansion, King's Landing was as busy as ever, and went straight to the study to deal with things.
Mu Qingyan returned to the dormitory in the main courtyard and sent away all the people in the courtyard, leaving her alone in the house.
At this time, Mu Qingyan opened her hand, and saw that it was a note with some words written on it, and the payment was Chu Xun.
Seeing the meaning on the note, she jumped up, wondered in her heart, and said: "This is amazing, Chu Xun also knows what happened in Hangzhou City, but why didn't he show up to grab it?
When she saw the old couple who had fallen in front of the carriage, she began to be suspicious, but she didn't expect that she really guessed it.
While helping the old woman with treatment, the old woman stuffed a note in her hand......
was so sneaky, at that time, I thought in my heart who would give it, but I didn't expect it to be Chu Xun, who had been silent.
According to the address of the note, Mu Qingyan changed into a pair of civilian clothes and arranged for Luan'er and Yan'er to guard her.
quickly left the main courtyard and flew out of the red wall of the Four Kings' Mansion with light skills......
Watchtower.
This is Ye Ting's industry, and the people inside are very tight-mouthed in the face of Mu Qingyan's appearance, and no one will know.
Mu Qingyan walked up to the agreed wing, pushed open the door of the wing, and after passing a screen, she saw Chu Xun, who had not been seen for a long time.
I saw that he had a somewhat thin back, looked out the window, and only turned his head to look back after hearing footsteps.
"You're here!"
The smile in his eyebrows, the joy in his eyes, Chu Xun naturally revealed.
Mu Qingyan looked at Chu Xun, sat there and looked at herself, her eyes were so gentle that she could come out of the water, she couldn't help frowning and said, "You said, there is something very important to tell me about Hangzhou City, what is it?"
"Tired, sit down first, let's talk slowly. Chu Xun sat there and poured a cup of tea on the opposite side, motioning for Mu Qingyan to sit down.
Mu Qingyan sat opposite him, looked at the tea that Chu Xun poured by himself, and said lightly: "You asked me to come just to drink tea?
When Chu Xun heard this, he smiled, the corners of his mouth raised bitterly, and said: "This prince has been hiding for so long, naturally he is afraid of being hunted down, but I heard that you are in Hangzhou City, I think you should also know something." After thinking about it, I think it's still necessary to meet with you, so I can only see you in private once in that way!"
The identities of the two are there, and they are destined to not meet openly in front of others. Moreover, even if it could, the man with a small belly in King's Landing would not allow it, and in the past, he thought that King's Landing would soon abandon Mu Qingyan like a child......
I didn't expect it, it's hard to imagine!!
Chu Xun has always kept a low profile since Chu Jin became the crown prince, and what he was afraid of was provoking the killers sent by Chu Jin.
Mu Qingyan also knew that such a meeting undoubtedly exposed her whereabouts and was easy to lead to death, so when Chu Xun asked to meet in that form, she still came without hesitation.
"I'm already here, can you say it?" Mu Qingyan frowned and said, but what was the important thing in her heart, Chu Xun risked death to see her face, and said it to her face.
Chu Xun knew that Mu Qingyan had come to see him specifically to know about Hangzhou City, but his mood couldn't help but sink, and he exhaled a deep breath and said, "In Hangzhou City, you must have heard about the water tribe!"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan nodded, and said, "How much do you know about the Water Tribe?"
Actually, for these things, she has a kind of emotion that she desperately wants to know, as for, why?
Because, from the bottom of my heart, I feel that knowing is more able to get closer to my mother, which is a desire for maternal love.
There are also many things I want to solve, to solve the doubts in my heart, if Ye Xin is such a powerful person and the ability of the Holy Maiden of the Water Tribe, why should she leave her daughter in the backyard of Muhan Mountain to suffer?
Why, all the people who know have never been to the capital to rescue her from Lin Rong's clutches?
However, her grandfather and grandmother cherished her, and Ouyang Yu's appearance also explained certain things, and even, all along, she had been up and down in these things.
However, she always felt that she didn't know much, and it was not enough to solve all the mysteries, and at this moment, all she could do was to piece together the pieces of things and scrutinize them carefully......
Chu Xun picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then, after a pause, seemed to be thinking, and then said: "When your mother was a saint, there was a civil war in order to grab the secret scroll of the water tribe, and later, your mother turned the tide and brought the secret scroll of the water tribe out. Since then, there is no longer a stable residence, and it is precisely in this way that I met Ouyang Yu and arrived in the Daduan Dynasty. ”
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan's brows furrowed even deeper, and said: "If this is the case, then why is there nothing wrong with my maternal grandfather, and they have not been hunted down?
"They just didn't tell you, it doesn't mean they aren't!" Chu Xun stood up and looked out the window, his eyes were a glazed tile roof, and the pedestrians on the street were still walking like that.
"The prestige of Jiangnan Yefu in Jiangnan has resolutely surpassed the rule of the royal family, and it is the spirit and will of the people in Jiangnan. To put it bluntly, even the emperor would not dare to send troops to copy your grandfather's family easily, and he would undoubtedly be the enemy of the people of the entire Jiangnan. After a pause, Chu Xun said again: "With such prestige, the person who dared to kill Jiangnan Yefu in Jiangnan undoubtedly had a problem with his brain. ”
When Mu Qingyan heard this, her expression turned grim, and she said, "You mean, if they leave Jiangnan, their lives and safety cannot be guaranteed?"
Chu Xun said this, then there must be nothing wrong, then the grandfather is also clear, but since he didn't come to the capital for her many years ago, why do you have to come now?
Hearing this, Chu Xun nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, there is no doubt about it. If you don't believe them, ask them, and of course they won't tell you. It will only report good news and not bad news!"
"You called me here to tell me this?" Mu Qingyan looked at Chu Xun and always felt that things would not be so simple.
Chu Xun listened, and suddenly said in a low voice: "In recent days, have you noticed that the atmosphere is different? In the capital of the Daduan Dynasty, the atmosphere is particularly tense, first of all, the matter of Jun Yan Lie's rebellion is very involved, the emperor is sick in bed, and the crown prince Jun is far away from the country. And you have been attacked again and again......" After saying that, he paused, stared at Mu Qingyan's eyes, and said, "The court of the Daduan Dynasty is surging...... You have to be careful!"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan's expression became even more gloomy, and she asked, "What does this have to do with the things I encountered in Hangzhou City? Besides, how can you know so many things while you are on the run? Also, you said that my grandfather's life will be in danger, but they are all fine now, how can they be affected by the things you said?"
When Chu Xun heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Regarding your affairs, I always pay attention to them first, besides, if you can see me, do you really think that I can escape by hiding from the pursuit? Yan'er, let me tell you, what you see and what you encounter is not as simple as it seems. ”
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan's eyes sank, what Chu Xun said was the truth, and she looked at him silently.
"The people of Jiangnan Yefu know martial arts, and martial arts can be ranked in the martial arts, don't you know this?" Chu Xun said softly: "The old man's martial arts have reached the point where they have been perfected, and my master can also do martial arts, and many of the martial arts of King's Landing and I have benefited from the old man's teachings. You don't know these things. ”
"Have you ever wondered why, a person from a great Confucian family, everyone knows martial arts and their martial arts are not weak, and even their subordinates have profound martial arts?"
Her heart trembled suddenly, Mu Qingyan didn't expect that there would be so many things that she didn't know, then, if she said this, her grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, Ye Ting, they should all have been assassinated......
"They are here to protect themselves!" Mu Qingyan gritted her teeth and said, "Then who wants to kill them, and who wants my life?"
"Probably the remnants of the Water Tribe, or the people of Moon City, they are all suspicious, but there are already many people in the capital of the Daduan Dynasty who want your life. Chu Xun said in a deep voice: "This, it's really too many to count, the only thing that can be done is for the soldiers to block the water and cover the earth." ”
Mu Qingyan snorted and said, "Those people had better hide their tails, otherwise, I will definitely not let ...... go easily."
