Chapter 517: The Second Time
Xiao Ti met the emperor after entering the palace.
The emperor's condition was better than rumored, although he was sick in bed, and he needed someone to serve him for food and drink, but at least his mind was still clear, and his spirit seemed to be good.
He listened to Xiao Ti tell the story of this trip to Liangzhou from beginning to end, and the content was almost the same as what Wei Yu said.
The old emperor sat on the bed, speaking very slowly, with a sense of old age unique to the elderly.
"I didn't expect Ni Yang to do such a thing, she really disappointed me, but fortunately you didn't go along with her, you are still a good boy, and you have lived up to my expectations of you."
Xiao Ti said respectfully: "It is the duty of Weichen to be loyal to the monarch and love the country. ”
Old Emperor: "This time you have done a good job in quelling the chaos, tell me, what reward do you want?" ”
Xiao Ti: "Wechen wants a three-month vacation. ”
The old emperor was surprised.
"What are you going to do with such a long vacation?"
Xiao Ti lowered his eyes and looked a little gloomy: "Although my mother made a big mistake, she is Weichen's mother after all, and Weichen feels uncomfortable and wants to go out and walk around." ”
The old emperor sighed.
"This is all a sin created by Niyang, and you will suffer with it, so I will rely on you to let you rest for three months and relax well."
Xiao Ti bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." ”
The old emperor: "In addition, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of silk." ”
Xiao Ti thanked him again.
Just by saying these words, the old emperor was already tired.
Xiao said goodbye and left.
After he walked out of the dormitory, he did not go home directly, but made a detour to the chamberlain.
When the eunuch in charge of the chamberlain saw that the king of Langjun was coming, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted in fear.
"The slave maid visited His Royal Highness the King of the County, I don't know what His Royal Highness the King of the County suddenly came to do?"
Xiao Ti took out the jade bracelet wrapped in a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and said in a deep voice.
"Help this king find out the origin of this bracelet."
The eunuch in charge took the bracelet with both hands and looked at it carefully.
"This is indeed a thing in the palace, but it should be an old object from many years ago, how could it be in the hands of His Royal Highness the County King?"
Xiao Ti said coldly: "Don't ask about the things you shouldn't ask." ”
The eunuch in charge shrunk his neck, not daring to say more.
Although he was quite old, he had a really good memory, and he soon found the relevant records of the jade bracelet from a large number of books.
"This bracelet was paid tribute by the Persian state fifty years ago, and was later given to Concubine Meng by Emperor Ren, and this bracelet has not appeared again since then. And what about the other one? ”
Xiao Ti ignored the question of the eunuch in charge and asked in a deep voice.
"Where is Concubine Meng?"
The eunuch in charge stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky: "She has long returned to the West, if her old man is still alive, she must be more than a hundred years old now." ”
Xiao Ti asked again: "Does she have descendants?" ”
The eunuch in charge shook his head: "No, Concubine Meng is very good, she is well-known in the palace for her good temper, but it's a pity that she has no children in her life, not even a princess." ”
Xiao Ti didn't ask again, put away the jade bracelet, and said at the same time.
"What you just said to this king, this king does not want a third person to know."
The eunuch in charge hurriedly responded: "The slave and maid understand. ”
He watched the king of Langjun leave.
After confirming that the person had gone away, the eunuch in charge immediately left the chamberlain and hurried to find Wei Huaien.
He told Wei Huaien about the investigation of the jade bracelet by the king of Langjun.
Wynn didn't understand: "Why did he look up the origin of a bracelet?" ”
The eunuch in charge shook his head: "He didn't say it, the slave doesn't know." ”
Wei Huaien waved his hand, asked the eunuch in charge to go down, and then ordered someone to call Wei Xiao over.
"What did my father call me for?"
Wei Huaien: "You followed King Langjun to Liangzhou, have you ever seen a jade bracelet in his hand on the way?" ”
Wei Xiao nodded without hesitation.
"I saw it."
Then he told the story of the discovery of the jade bracelet, and finally said.
"At that time, I wanted to see the bracelet, but the king of Langjun didn't let me, I looked at him like that, I should have found something unusual about the bracelet."
Wei Huaien thought thoughtfully: "How can the water bandits have the things in the palace in their hands?" What about the body of the bandit? ”
Wei Yu: "I was taken away by the King of Langjun, and I should be in the Fa Division at this time." ”
Wynne didn't ask any more.
Because he knew that as long as the corpse entered the Fa-rectification Division, he would not be able to touch it again.
Wei Xiao asked curiously: "That bracelet is really something in the palace?" ”
Wei Huaien: "That's what Emperor Ren rewarded to Concubine Meng, but Concubine Meng has been dead for many years, how could her things appear in the hands of a water bandit?" And the king of Langjun, why is he so concerned about this matter? It's too weird, you have to keep an eye on it. ”
Wei Xiao replied.
"I will."
After finishing business, Wei Huaien slowed down his tone and chatted with him about family life.
"You've been out for a long time, and you've seen a lot of tan, and you've suffered a lot along the way, right?"
Wei Xiao smiled casually: "It's okay, I think it's good to go out and see for a long time." ”
Wei Huaien: "I heard that there was an affair between you and the princess of Langjun, and the relationship between you and her is unclear, is this serious?" ”
Wei Xiao denied it without hesitation.
"No, those are rumors."
Wei Huaien stared at him: "You said no, that's no, but I still want to ask you, don't you have any idea about Yu Yuanyuan seriously?" ”
Wei Xiao pretended to smile lightly: "This is the second time you have asked me. ”
Wynn: "Is your answer the same as last time?" ”
Wei Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say yes, but Yu Yu's bright and bright smile suddenly appeared in his mind, and the words that came to his mouth suddenly couldn't be spoken.
He just stood there silently, silent.
Wynn frowned slightly.
"You should know that you are not the same as her."
Wei Xiao was still silent.
Wei Huaien: "You go back first, I'll send you an errand to let you leave Yujing for a while, and then come back when you calm down." ”
"Whoa."
After Wei Yu said goodbye to his adoptive father, he walked alone on the way out of the palace.
On both sides are high palace walls, and at the feet are flat and hard white marble ground.
He looked ahead, still thinking about what his adoptive father had just said.
His father asked him what he thought of Yu Yuanyu.
He didn't think he could think anything about Yu Yuan.
At that moment, he was like a ghost, and he couldn't even say anything to deny it.
Did he really like Yu Yuan?
Impossible.
She's not the one he likes at all!
Something must be wrong!
Father was right, he had to calm down.
Wei Yu clenched his fists and silently told himself that when he calmed down, he would know that he could not have a good impression of Yu Yuanyu at all.
