Chapter 439: Mutual jealousy
His concubine died in childbirth many years ago, one corpse and two lives, leaving no son and half a daughter, since then, he has not married the concubine, the affairs in the house are taken care of by the side concubines, and several concubines have been placed in the backyard one after another.
It's just that Xie Huiming rarely sets foot in the inner courtyard, and several concubines are useless all year round, and he hasn't paid any attention to the care of the inner courtyard, he only remembers that his side concubine has taken care of the inner courtyard in an orderly manner, and has never let him worry about it.
There is no disharmony between wives and concubines, and pickled things such as fighting for the wind and jealousy make him annoyed.
It stands to reason that he should be the most at ease in such a stable inner courtyard, but for some reason, he is a little uneasy.
Ever since he could remember, there had been no flowers or trees in the place where he lived, and everywhere was cold, without a trace of warmth and softness.
When building the Qin Palace, he also inherited his habits since childhood, concise and sparse, cold and stiff, without a trace of superfluous decoration.
Walking into this inner courtyard, the freshness and warmth that greeted him made him inexplicably more uncomfortable.
He suddenly remembered what it had been like for his father, the princess and concubine to clash in front of him for the first time.
That year, when he turned six years old, he could be enlightened, and his mother taught him a few tricks, but when he was squatting on the horse, he was seen by his father, who was very disdainful, and his mother had a dispute with his father.
In the end, he didn't remember who won and who lost, he only remembered that since then, he had never practiced martial arts, and his mother had never smiled at him again.
He exhaled slowly, and the footsteps that were originally walking towards the courtyard of the side concubine turned around and walked towards the maple forest.
At the end of the trail, there is a dense maple forest, the fine moonlight passes through the forest, there is no wind, the forest is quiet, like a pool of deep and lonely still water.
As soon as I walked into the edge of the forest, the quiet canopy of the trees was windless and automatic, and a bright red figure fell from the treetops like a butterfly dripping with blood.
"Lan Wei has seen His Highness." The dexterous bright red figure was a girl, and her voice was very gentle, I don't know how long she had been in the forest, and her body was dyed with a faint bitter fragrance of maple leaves.
Xie Huiming bowed his head slightly, and shouted: "How is today?" ”
Lan Yu lowered her head and said: "The girl is getting sick, Ning Langzhong came to see it once, and said that if she can't find that prescription to prepare medicine, I'm afraid the girl won't be able to survive the end of the year." ”
Xie Huiming's always calm and self-contained face finally showed traces of brokenness, he frowned slightly, there was a trace of panic in his eyes, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "Is there any news from Fang Zi?" ”
Lan Yu said in a low voice: "Yes, it's just, it's a little tricky. ”
"Why is it tricky?" Xie Huiming took a step forward, and his tone lived up to the previous coldness and became more aggressive.
Lan Yu said unhurriedly: "The subordinates found out that the Taoist chief in the Qingxu Hall had this recipe in his hand, but before he could investigate it in detail, the Qingxu Hall started a fire and burned it cleanly. ”
Xie Huiming suddenly caught the meaning of Lan Yuan's words, and raised his eyes to stare at her: "You mean to say that someone deliberately burned the Qingxu Hall and destroyed that recipe?" ”
Lan Yu hung her head and was silent, the stakes were so high that she didn't dare to say anything.
Xie Huiming frowned, pacing back and forth in the maple forest.
In the deep dense forest, there are few people, and the yellow fallen leaves are piled up layer by layer, and the ground is full of them as far as the eye can see
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Deep and shallow obscure dull yellow.
Walking in such a forest, even if you put your steps lightly, you will make a very slight creaking sound, which is very clear in the boundless silence of the forest.
Xie Huiming walked slowly, stepping on the dry branches on the ground, making a crisp sound.
He turned around abruptly, and said a little sharply: "No, this matter is not right, if it is for that prescription, it will only destroy the prescription, there is no need to make such a big move, although I have not seen what the Qingxu Hall has burned, but the four Taoist masters in the hall have all died, the situation is obviously very tragic, for the sake of a prescription, four lives have been killed, this matter is not so simple." ”
Lan Wei was stunned for a moment: "Does Your Highness mean that this fire is aimed at the saint?" ”
Xie Huiming lowered his eyebrows for a moment: "Who is it for, we will find out after checking." ”
Lan Yu said: "But Your Highness, there is news in the palace that the sage has asked Gao Fuguo to pass on the decree and ordered Han Changdu to investigate this matter." ”
Xie Huiming pursed his lips and snorted lightly: "My father really trusts this Han family, I don't know if I really reuse it, or if it is to support the boss." ”
Lan Yu bowed his head and said silently: "Your Highness, the news from the palace today is related to Han Changdu's entry into Beijing as an official. ”
Xie Huiming was interested, and let out a light "oh": "Say." ”
Lan Yuan handed over a scroll of paper and said with a solemn expression: "Princess Han's chronic illness has become a trend of accumulation and difficult to return, Han Changdui looked for medical advice everywhere, but finally found nothing, and then the saint got a prescription somewhere, which can suppress Princess Han's illness, and the saint ordered Han Changdui to enter Beijing as an official in exchange for giving medicine every month." ”
Xie Huiming narrowed his eyes and pulled out a sneer: "Interesting, this matter is indeed somewhat interesting, this Han Changdui seems to be a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is extremely favored, but who would have thought that he was just a hostage of his father and emperor to contain Han Wangfu." ”
"What's interesting about this is that there's an inside story." Lan Yuan continued with a smile: "Han Changdui once learned that a divine doctor surnamed Xu could cure Princess Han's illness, and this divine doctor surnamed Xu went out of Yumen Pass a few years ago and went to the Luntai area, Han Changdui had ordered people to look for this person in the Western Regions, he also went to Luntai in person by investigating the case of silver last time, but he did not find this person, but the news from the palace is that this divine doctor surnamed Xu Han Changdui was already in the palace before entering Beijing, and the prescription that the saint got that could suppress Princess Han's illness was prescribed by this divine doctor surnamed Xu. ”
Xie Huiming was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, and the laughter was bloody, like a night owl, which shocked the resident birds in the canopy and rushed away.
"Interesting, so interesting, I wonder if Han Changdui knows about this matter, if he knows about it, what will he do?" Xie Huiming laughed for a while, slowly accepted the laughter, and thought: "I have to think about this matter carefully, and I must make the best use of it and use it to the extreme." “
Lan Yu said: "Your Highness, my subordinates think that if Han Changdui knew about this matter, would he be jealous of the saint from now on. ”
Xie Huiming smiled: "The saint and the Han Wangfu are afraid of each other. He breathed a shallow sigh: "Okay, I'll arrange this matter, you stay here, I'll go see her." ”
Lan Wei said worriedly: "Your Highness, the girl's consciousness is becoming more and more unclear, and she has repeatedly hurt people, and her subordinates are afraid that the girl will hurt Her Highness." ”
Xie Huiming
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
's gaze darkened, and he looked into the depths of the dense forest, where the warped corners of the house loomed among the canopies.
He didn't speak, but walked into the woods.
Lan Yu hesitantly watched Xie Huiming walk into the forest, his figure gradually disappeared, opened his mouth, and did not speak after all.
Everyone has a secret that no one else knows, and that secret should not be for her to explore.
Gao Fuguo, under the escort of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, entered the Tribute Courtyard, and Han Changdui had just used the twilight food.
After Gao Fuguo passed on Emperor Yong'an's will, he waved his hand, retreated left and right, and whispered to Han Changdu: "Lord Han, this matter is very important, your lord must be cautious in doing it, and you must not disappoint the saint." He paused slightly, and then said in a low voice: "This month's medicine, the sage has ordered people to expedite eight hundred miles and send it to the Han Wangfu in Jiannan Province." ”
Han Changdui slowly raised his eyes, glanced at Gao Fuguo deeply, his eyes were not shocked, and said lightly: "This official has thanked Grandpa Gao for his kindness, please rest assured." ”
Gao Fuguo was furious by Han Changdu's eyes, and laughed dryly: "That's good, that's good, it's good that Lord Han understands in his heart, I don't know when Lord Han will be able to enter the palace?" ”
Han Changdui looked at it and leaked even more, just after the first moment, he thought: "There are still some things to arrange in the tribute courtyard, before the first child, the official entered the palace, so he will not go to meet the saint first, and after the court meeting, he will meet again." “
Gao Fuguo had no objection at all, arched his hand and said, "It's so good, everything depends on Lord Han." ”
Han Changdui said a few polite words, but because he wanted to hide people's eyes, he didn't send them off with great fanfare, but only stood at the window and looked at it a few times.
And Gao Fuguo wrapped a pitch-black cloak tightly, revealing only a pair of dark eyes, looking around vigilantly, surrounded by the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, he walked out of the tribute courtyard with his head down.
Meng Sui stood in the room, took a step forward hesitantly, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what do you mean by a saint?" ”
Han Changdui looked at the dark sky and chuckled: "The sage thinks that I am the one who will not do anything to him, so he will hand over this matter to me to investigate, no matter whose handiwork it is, I will be impartial." ”
"......" Meng Sui was stunned.
Han Changwan turned his head to look at Meng Suiji, and laughed again: "The life of the concubine is in his hands, of course he will have no fear, and he also thinks that I will throw a mouse bogey." ”
Meng Sui's face changed, and he asked, "Shizi, then, what should we do?" ”
Han Changdui said lightly: "I will take Yao Qi into the palace together, you stay, and stare at the Gongyuan with He Zhenfu." ”
Meng Suiqi frowned, and asked puzzledly: "My lord, isn't Yao joining the army ......?"
Han Changdui said indifferently: "It is precisely because I can't believe it that I have to stare at it in front of me." ”
Meng Suijie lowered his head, remembering the incident that he hadn't had time to do tonight, he picked his fingers and said, "My lord, you ...... about the test papers."
"You don't have to." Without waiting for Meng Suijie to finish speaking, Han Changdui raised his hand to intercept Meng Suiji's words, and the fear on his face was fleeting.
Meng Sui suddenly felt like he had been amnestied, he breathed a long sigh of relief, licked his face, and had a flattering smile on his face: "I know that the son of the world is the most kind-hearted." ”
Han Changwan laughed at himself: "Kind-hearted, kind-hearted people die the worst." ”
