She tried to remind, "It's the account book and roster you took from me on the night of the fire in the East Pavilion. ”

The night of the East Pavilion fire?

Rong Yunhe thought about it carefully, "Recently, except for that morning, I took a maid named Qin Luoyi from here, and I have never set foot in the Hundred Blessing Hall again, let alone take away your account books and rosters. And the fire in the East Pavilion, I have never heard anyone talk about it at all. ”

"What!" Song Jinya only felt as if the strength of her body had been drained, and she suddenly collapsed on the soft table, "I lost my temper that night, slept very early, and had nightmares, so I was in a daze, but I vaguely saw your side face, and I hadn't shouted yet, as if I had been hit by someone, and I fainted." ”

"Later, the maid woke me up, saying that the East Pavilion was on fire, and I didn't think about why you appeared in my Hundred Blessing Palace. Until yesterday, when I tried to use the little financial resources that I had delegated to look for the account book, I found that it was gone, and then I thought about that night. ”

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Rong Yunhe couldn't help but look at it, "Are you sure you saw me that night, not someone else?"

"You are a child born to me, I have watched it for more than 20 years, even if I am old and dizzy, how can I misunderstand you?"

Rong Yunhe's expression became more and more solemn.

The palace is heavily guarded, and the palace is arranged in a complex manner, especially on the side of the Baifu Palace, the father is worried about the safety of the mother concubine, and deliberately increases the vigilance here, so it is impossible for people outside the palace to find the Baifu Hall so accurately to steal the account book and roster, excluding these conditions, then there are only people in the palace.

He hadn't been to the Baifu Palace, but the concubine was very sure that she had seen him, which meant that someone must have changed his appearance, and he had never heard of anyone in the palace who knew how to change his appearance.

Who the hell is this?

"He'er, what should I do now?" Song Jinya grabbed Rong Yunhe's sleeve with tears in her eyes, "Not only are the account books and rosters gone, but even the East Pavilion was burned down by a fire. These two days are the critical time for the plan, and without financial support, what can I do!"

"The fire in the East Pavilion, have you found any suspicious people?" The loss of the account book and the burning of the wealth in the fire were all on the same day, and listening to the mother's words, it should also be in the order of one after the other, if you can find any clue between the two, maybe the truth can be revealed.

But Concubine Jin's words made Rong Yunhe at a loss.

"The East Pavilion used to be where Yuying's little slut lived, although she had already gone to the Yellow Spring now, and the emperor did not order it to be demolished. After several years of renovation, it has become a place to store my savings. Knowing that the emperor still had a crush on Yuying, I did what I liked and sent heavy soldiers to guard and guard it, not allowing anyone to enter, in fact, to protect the property inside. Although I am looking for fire now, the emperor is only a little sorry, and he does not plan to investigate deeply, and I dare not act rashly. ”

Rong Yunhe pondered for a long time, "In that case, your plan will be suspended for a while, and I will send someone to secretly investigate." ”

"No way!" Unexpectedly, when Song Jinya heard this, she immediately slapped the table and got up, "This plan can't be delayed." Ten days later, your father will go on a patrol in the holy car, and this is a good time, whether he can be named the crown prince depends on the thoroughness of the plan for this trip. This is a lifelong event that must not be postponed!"

"In that case, then you have to find a way to solve it. What Erchen can help you with is to find out who is behind the scenes. As for the financial problem, Erchen can't help you. With that, Rong Yunhe got up and left.

Walking to the door, he suddenly stopped, "The matter of the mother's concubine, the son-in-law will try his best to help, of course, I also hope that the son-in-law's affairs, the mother-in-law will not interfere more, after all, the son-in-law also has his own plans." Especially Hua Weilan and Qin Luoyi, they also hope that the concubine will be merciful. ”

Before Song Jinya could say anything more, he had already left the Baifu Palace, leaving only the woman sitting on the chair in a daze.

Three days later, the emperor issued a holy decree, bringing Concubine Jin and Qiao Qingqing, and there were only two princes, Rong Yunhe and Rong Yutao.

It has been three years since the last time the people were inspected, and in the past three years, the border has been attacking, although Rongguo is a big country and has strong troops, it is inevitable that it will be a little tired from several sides, and it is not easy to rest and recuperate, so that it is possible to go down to the south of the Yangtze River.

Concubine Qi was not on the list this time because she was pregnant. She was a little unhappy in her heart, and muttered a few words when the emperor came to the palace, but the emperor was worried about the heir, so he didn't agree anyway, and only promised to get some new things when he said it.

Weifu's private visit is a secret move, this time, the emperor, as usual, did not bring an entourage of the Imperial Forest Army, only the head of the imperial guard, Ruan Haojun, the son of Prime Minister Ji Ou, and Imperial Physician Li to protect him, and a few little eunuchs were responsible for serving tea and water in case anything unexpected happened. They prepared a few simple carriages, disguised as business travelers, so as not to arouse suspicion, and set off from the palace on a certain day.

Because of the Luoyang disaster, the emperor did not hesitate to go to Luoyang first, and he hurried along the way, which can be regarded as talking and laughing.

Rong Yunhe and Ruan Haojun rode in front, and the two sometimes exchanged a few words, sometimes silent.

This stopped and went until it was dark, and the emperor ordered to find an inn to rest.

The group was naturally exhausted, and the two ladies also got out of the carriage and walked a few steps, and the eunuchs followed closely behind, and a little eunuch who looked extremely thin didn't seem to be used to bending over like this, and almost hit Qiao lightly, causing a burst of scolding:

"You dead minion, you don't have eyes!"

"Mother forgiveness. ”

The little eunuch lowered his voice and kept his head down and kept silent.

When he heard his voice, Rong Yunhe's eyes flashed, and he walked to the little eunuch's side, just blocking Qiao lightly and his sight: "Concubine Qiao, my father is here, don't worry about a little eunuch." ”

Qiao snorted lightly, glanced at the little eunuch, and turned his head to chase after the emperor.

"Thank you, Lord Wu. ”

The little eunuch's head lowered deeper and deeper, almost hanging down to his feet, Rong Yunhe's eyes seemed to be glued to him, but his footsteps moved slightly to make way for him: "Let's go." ”

The little eunuch chased after the ladies in small steps, and Rong Yunhe stared at his back with obscure eyes, until Ruan Haojun walked in front of him: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. ”

Rong Yunhe shook his head and strode forward.

The corners of Ruan Haojun's mouth raised slightly, as if he remembered something interesting, and waved his long sleeves. Next, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch.

They just walked out of the forest, this is a small town near Luoyang City, Ji Ou went to investigate, there are not many inns in this town, almost all of them are full, and there is only one inn left and a few rooms, although it is not a good upper room, but at least it is better than sleeping on the street.

As soon as a few people entered the inn, they attracted the attention of a group of people.

Not to mention the handsome women of this group of men, let's just say that the momentum exuded from the top and bottom of the body is by no means ordinary people.

In order to keep a low profile this time, they didn't bring too expensive gold and silver jewelry on their bodies, but the people who grew up in the palace naturally had a noble aura on their bodies, and this natural momentum made the nerves of the people around them tense.

"Boss, come to five rooms!"

Ji Ou said in a deep voice, the boss glanced at them, and put down the abacus in his hand: "I'm sorry, there are only two rooms left in our store, how about one for men and one for women?"

"How can this be done, you can't let the master and the subordinate sleep together, right?" Ji Ou vetoed.

Rong Yutao took a step forward, took out a gold ingot from his arms and put it on the board: "Prepare a few more rooms for us." ”

When I saw the gold, the boss's eyes lit up!

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that I don't want to find a room for you, it's just that candidates from all over the world have come to participate in the imperial examination recently, and this inn is full, and there are still these two rooms left in the shop! Otherwise, there is a cowshed on my side, and I will order someone to clean it up, so that your subordinates can be wronged for one night, okay?"

"So be it. ”

The emperor opened his mouth, the boss smiled, firmly held the gold in the palm of his hand, and ordered Xiao Er to take a few eunuchs to the cowshed, while personally going upstairs: "A few guest officers come with me." ”

This room is much bigger than expected.

There are three beds in a room, presumably specially built for the scholars who went to Beijing to catch the exam, although they are a little crowded together, but they are separated.

It is better to have a shelter from the wind and rain than not at all, but the men did not say anything, but went back to their rooms to rest. Among the women, there are only two people, Jin Guifei and Qiao Qing, accounting for more than three beds, Jin Guifei didn't say anything and lay down in her clothes, but Qiao Qingqing, who has been pampered since childhood, where can she stand this kind of suffering, she has to cry when she speaks:

"Where is this place for people, even the furball lives better than this!" "The furball refers to a dog raised in the palace.

Concubine Jin didn't say anything.

Qiao lightly thought that she was acquiescing to what she said, and she was even more angry: "What kind of broken place is this Ji Ou looking for, I must let the emperor remove him from his post when I go back!"

"Sleep. ”

A faint sentence suddenly extinguished Qiao's gentle arrogance, and she muttered again, 'It's really uncomfortable here', and Concubine Jin opened her eyes: "The emperor sleeps, but you can't sleep?

Her tone was quite harsh, Qiao lightly felt that she was angry, and suddenly trembled, although the arrogance in her bones made her unconvinced, but she also knew that this place was not as good as the palace, without the queen mother's support for her, she suddenly kicked her feet, and her lips were bitten and lay down.

Perhaps it was the tiring journey, and despite the many dissatisfactions in his heart, Joe gently fell asleep quickly.

The room was silent, and the moonlight shone through the windows, bringing a glimmer of light
