"However, how does the queen mother know that Yang Jinqiao will appear today and will be taught privately by Sun Jingfei in this place?"

Hearing my question, Chang Qing didn't answer immediately, but looked at me silently for a while, and then said, "Actually, this palace didn't look too surprised when he looked at you. Didn't you already know that? ”

“……”

I was silent and didn't answer immediately.

But in this way, it is already the default.

Actually, Chang Qing and I are already too familiar, and we don't even need to talk about each other's thoughts to know, I also know that I can't hide it from her at this time, and after being silent for a while, I said calmly: "I don't know completely, but I don't know everything about it, I am indeed mentally prepared for today's situation." ”

"Oh? Since when? ”

"The queen still remembers that when the emperor decided to eradicate the Shen family, Qinghan once pretended to be sincere and respectful, as the internal response of the imperial court."

Originally, I was talking about Yang Jinqiao and Sun Jingfei, but I suddenly talked about the past when Shen Gongyi was eradicated, Chang Qing suddenly looked at me with some surprise, but I think what surprised her even more is that I will not shy away from talking about light cold at this time. She paused for a moment, looked at me with a complicated expression, and then nodded slowly.

"He's not easy, and he's done it well."

"But I've known this for a long time."

"Oh? How do you know. ”

"Sun Jingfei sued me."

"Sun Jingfei? He's a court guard, how does he know? ”

I don't know why, when it comes to the original incident, it has completely passed, but after all, there will still be a trace of unspeakable hidden pain twitching in my heart, I paused for a moment, and then said softly: "Sun Jingfei told me that he saw Shen Gongyi feasting Qinghan in a very hidden place, although he didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but he knew that these two people were in the same situation, and they shouldn't be able to sit together." At that time, I was worried about the safety of the light cold, so I asked him to help me take care of the light cold, and he found out about the situation and told me about it. ”

Chang Qing frowned slightly: "Then what does this matter have to do with the current incident?" ”

"Does the queen know where Sun Jingfei is when she saw Shen Gongyu feasting on Qinghan."

She shook her head.

I said calmly, "In a green building." ”

"Qinglou?" She was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, and looked at me with wide eyes: "Could it be—"

I nodded: "That's right, I replied to Niangniang that day that I found that Yang Jinqiao has a very hidden industry in the capital, which is Jinfeng Tower." This Jinfeng Tower, I have also inquired, is the most famous and decent Qinglou in the whole capital, in fact, there are many people in the imperial court, drinking flower wine, or discussing some secret things, will go to that place. ”

Qinglou, although in the eyes of many people, is naturally a filthy place, and there are three religions and nine streams, mixed fish and dragons, and all kinds of people have it, so it is naturally not on the stage. But in fact, the more such a place, the safer it is, because no one thought that there would be such a big conspiracy brewing in a land of flowers and willows.

It's just that he didn't expect to meet Sun Jingfei and go there.

As for why Sun Jingfei went to the Qinglou, I didn't ask back then, because I knew more or less in my heart - Sun Jingfei was originally a soldier of the Praetorian Guard, and he left the Praetorian Guard in order to get the martial arts champion, and I can see two points, one is that he does have real skills, and the other is that this person has a lot of ambitions. How can a person with such ability and ambition linger in the land of flowers and willows? So he said that he had been to the Qinglou, although I didn't mention it again because of avoidance, but I knew in my heart that it would not be as simple as ordinary men drinking for fun.

As for Yang Jinqiao's purpose of placing this property, I think that at the beginning, when she was not sure who the person who harmed Yang Yunhui was, she once suspected Pei Yuanhao, she must have obtained some information about the imperial court and the palace, and the best place to get these information is naturally the place to drink flower wine.

So, that day, Lao Zhu took me to follow her carriage to the outside of Jinfeng Tower, and when I saw her, I immediately remembered that at the beginning, Sun Jingfei said that he had been in and out of the Qinglou.

And when I met Yang Jinqiao outside Yangzhou City, I told her that she often celebrated that the golden hairpin left to her was left in the palace by me, and she directly said that she would find a way to find it back, for a person who had cheated to death and completely disconnected from the royal family, it could be said that it was difficult to get something from the harem, but she said it very easily, and at that time I understood that she must have arranged someone in the palace.

After thinking about it, I figured it out.

Chang Qing listened to my words, groaned for a long time, and sighed softly.

She said slowly: "It's a pity that she's a woman. ”

I looked up at her: "What about the mother?" How did the queen determine this? ”

Chang Qing also looked at me, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Actually, from the beginning, Bengong knew. ”

"In the beginning?"

I frowned slightly—when did it start?

She said calmly: "Yaowulou, when the martial champion competes." ”

I was shocked: "At that time?!" ”

"Yes, at that time."

At that time, Chang Qing had already begun to suspect Sun Jingfei?!

I was a little dazed, thinking back to that time, too much time had passed, and I had almost forgotten many details, but when she mentioned it now, I also remembered that when Sun Jingfei defeated his opponent in the second weapon competition, Pei Yuanhao said to Chang Qing that in his body, he saw the shadow of an old man.

And Chang Qing, what did you say at that time?

……

"In that competition back then, the concubine also watched it with her father, and this Sun Jingfei is indeed a bit alike-"

When she said "that competition", did she mean -

I raised my head to look at her all of a sudden, Chang Qing smiled faintly, and said: "I remember the competition between Yang Yunhui and my brother in the palace back then, and Sun Jingfei's appearance is almost exactly the same as Yang Yunhui at the beginning. ”

“……”

"If other people are so similar, maybe this palace won't care too much."

“……”

"But, just like at the beginning, it is the champion of the martial arts who is fighting for it, and it is the position of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, how can this palace not care?"

"So—"

Chang Qing smiled and didn't say anything more.

But I've got it.

Since she has begun to suspect Sun Jingfei's identity, of course she has to investigate; As the queen, it is impossible for her to send people out by herself, of course, it is the Taishi who comes forward; And if Sun Jingfei had been to Jinfeng Tower, such a whereabouts would probably not have been hidden from the Taishi's people; If you check the identity of the boss behind Jinfenglou again, then Yang Jinqiao's secrets will not be covered.

Sometimes, that's how things are.

Come to think of it, me and her, and so many other people, what are we counting?

In the end, I answered what Pei Yuanxiu said to me at the beginning - no, forever secret.

I couldn't help but sigh softly.

Hearing my sigh, Chang Qing raised her head and glanced at me, with a faint helplessness on her face, and said, "You didn't see Princess Miaoyan today, right?" ”

“……”

I nodded silently.

She sighed too.

If you want to say that you are too disappointed, in fact, you don't, after all, Taimiao is heavily guarded, and it is Pei Yuanhao who personally came to pray for blessings with wonderful words, I know that the chance of seeing her is very small, and Pei Yuanhao even grasped the point that I was anxious to see my daughter, and set such a "trap" for me to drill, in the future, it will probably be more difficult to see Miao Yan without alarming him.

I said softly: "I hope it won't make it difficult for Niangniang to be in the palace." ”

Chang Qing lightly hooked the corners of her lips and said, "I don't think the emperor will blame me too much." ”

“……”

"After all, he wants to see you."

I didn't speak.

Chang Qing looked at me for a while, and said softly: "Your business, in the end, this palace can't interfere. Besides, now that you are free to come and go, what you want to do is up to you. ”

“……”

"This palace just wants to say that between you and the emperor, if there is no fate, you don't force it; If there is really fate, this palace hopes, and you don't have to be too stubborn. ”

I looked at her calmly, and after a while, I said softly, "Mother." ”

"Huh?"

"Your people seem to be waiting over there."

She was stunned for a moment, and looked back in the direction of my finger, but at the end of the path, several of the palace maids I was familiar with were waiting from afar, after all, it was cold, and a few little palace maids couldn't help but stomp their feet to keep warm, and were reprimanded by Xing'er.

Chang Qing's face froze, turned to look at me, and I smiled calmly: "It's cold, the queen mother should go back to the palace early." Now that this is the end of the matter, don't worry any more. ”

She looked at me, and there seemed to be some weakness in her eyes, and she sighed lightly and said, "Okay." ”

“……”

"Hongu is gone, you-take care."

I leaned over lightly and bowed: "Congratulations to the queen mother." ”

I didn't see her expression when she turned away, but when I got up and looked up, I saw her somewhat pale back, which could not be concealed even by wearing such a heavy and luxurious coat.

I stood in the well pavilion for a long time, and the cold wind blew in through all sides, and at this time, Du Yan walked behind me.

"Ma'am, are you alright?"

I glanced back at him and smiled faintly, "It's okay." Let's go back. ”

He nodded, and helped me out of the well pavilion.

Just as we were about to walk towards the side door, suddenly, we heard a sound of music behind us.

The prayer is over, and who let the music play?

I subconsciously looked back, a team of people slowly walked out of the main hall, walked across the white jade bridge, and at the front of the team, surrounded by a person in a purple robe, slowly walked across the white jade bridge with the music, at this moment, all the carp in the river swam out, kept fluttering and jumping, and the water surface seemed to be boiling.

My brow furrowed slightly, looking at the team.

Just as they were about to cross the white jade bridge, the purple-robed man suddenly turned his head and glanced this way.
