139. Clues
In the spacious Qianqing Palace, there was a charcoal fire in the corner, and the heat warmed the whole palace, and a tea eunuch walked in with his head hanging down and put the tea away.
"You get out! Shut the doors of the temple. Zhu Di, who was sitting behind the imperial case, said coldly, but his tone was a little cold, but fine sweat was already breaking out on the eunuch's forehead.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that last night's incident should be investigated secretly, and it is not appropriate to startle the snake, and there must be an old minister of Jianwen who conspires in the court."
Zhu Di was stunned, then got up and walked down the steps, came to Cheng Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "There are people who use Yanling arrows at the border gate, but in the past six months, everyone in Beiping Mansion has stayed in the capital, and only one person has come from the border pass." ”
"Could it be that Your Majesty also thinks it's Song Ying?" Cheng Yuan expressed his doubts, although he hated Song Ying, he couldn't slander indiscriminately, so he said: "Song Ying can shoot arrows, but I have no grievances with him." ”
Zhu Di picked up the Yanling arrow and said: "You have also been in Beiping Mansion, and I have also stayed, this kind of Yanling arrow, made of boxwood, as long as the arrow is superb, it can penetrate the armor of the soldiers, this person obviously wants your life." ”
After listening to Zhu Di's analysis, Cheng Yuan also admired his words, Yanling arrows are available in all guards, and it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find out.
But the arrows of the guard are registered and can be found.
"I asked Ji Gang to go to the guards to check the records."
"No, so as not to startle the snake." Cheng Yuan stopped: "I'll check it myself." ”
Zhu Di moved his legs, and felt a faint pain in his knees, which had become an old problem.
"What kind of fucking medicine is boiled in the hospital, it's just not as good as you, you go home and boil some for me. The herbs are taken from the Tai Hospital. ”
"Yes."
At this time, the eunuch on duty outside the palace knocked on the door and walked in, glanced at Zhu Di and Cheng Yuan, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is here." ”
"What is he doing here?" Zhu Di asked.
The chamberlain shook his head.
"The crown prince came with the little imperial grandson." The chamberlain added again.
A smile appeared on Zhu Di's face: "Let them in." ”
Zhu Laosi, you love your grandson and son, is it you who is talking about the next generation?
Cheng Yuan stood up: "The minister will retire first." ”
"Where are you going? Why should the family see each other like this, sit down. Zhu Di pointed to the chair.
Zhu Gaochi, who happened to walk to the door, heard what Zhu Di said to Cheng Yuan, and was a little contemptuous. The old man didn't say that to Yuan Rong and Li Rang before.
Zhu Gaochi smiled: "Dad, you let me ...... yesterday Bring Jungi, it's not ...... him"
Seeing Zhu Gaochi seeing Zhu Di with his head down was the same as seeing his grandson, Cheng Yuan pretended not to see it, and he automatically ignored the prince's embarrassment.
"The Emperor... Grandfather. Zhu Zhanji's milk voice was milky.
When Zhu Di saw it, he picked up Zhu Zhanji and threw him into the air, and caught it steadily: "Boy, grandpa sees that you are tall again." ”
Zhu Zhanji didn't quite understand what Zhu Di said, and his black grape-like eyes bent into two crescents when he laughed.
Zhu Gaochi walked to Cheng Yuan's side, sat down very kindly, and felt a little strange when he saw the Yanling arrow on the table.
Cheng Yuan said: "Last night, someone pierced the door of my house with an arrow. ”
The arrows are not marked, so it is impossible to say who it is.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes narrowed, thinking that the female officer beside Xianning had taken some of these feather arrows a few days ago. Could it be that this girl is joking?
In front of Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi did not express his doubts.
Zhu Di played with his grandson, Zhu Gaochi and Cheng Yuan became invisible people, and the two walked outside the door to talk.
"What? Xianning has Yanling arrows, where can she shoot arrows? Cheng Yuan shook his head, expressing disbelief.
Zhu Gaochi said: "A few days ago, Xianning used it. ”
"His Highness Xianning?" Cheng Yuan said: "Why don't the prince go to Xianning Palace with me and ask?" ”
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "Don't get in the way, you can just go over by yourself, she is choosing a horse to play with today." ”
"Ahem, choose a colt?" Cheng Yuan was surprised.
"But no, the apples, pears, and oranges in the palace were all shot by her."
………………
When he arrived at Xianning Palace, the chamberlain bowed down and said, "I've seen Zhenguo Gong." ”
"I'm looking for His Royal Highness Xianning, I have something to ask her."
"His Royal Highness is shooting arrows inside, and many people are inside, just go in."
When Cheng Yuan entered the door, he was startled by a few waiters in the courtyard with apples on their heads, only to see that they were scared like chaff.
Xianning held the bow in his hand, crooked and didn't shoot out, and when he saw Cheng Yuan coming, he aimed the bow and arrow at him.
"Your Highness Xianning, the minister has something to ask His Highness Xianning, can you take a step to speak." Cheng Yuan walked over to her bow and arrow, exhaled a breath and said, "Your Highness? ”
Take a step to speak, what can't be said in front of everyone, there is no silence.
"If Your Highness is inconvenient, the minister will come to bother you next time."
Xianning suddenly bit his lower lip, there was water flashing in his eyes, he looked at Cheng Yuan deeply, dropped his bow and arrows and was about to leave.
He came to see his jokes, he was married to An Cheng, what else did he do, did he want to hear himself call him brother-in-law.
The arrogant Xianning has never been so lost and powerless.
She turned and walked away.
After Cheng Yuan glanced at the female officials and a few chamberlains around him, he suddenly touched his cuffs, as if he had almost forgotten something, and said, "Oh, An Cheng entrusted me with the medicine for the scar that His Highness Xianning brought to him, and he didn't give it to her yet." ”
After speaking, he turned straight to the arch on the left and walked towards the small pavilion behind Xianning Palace.
When the female officer and the chamberlain heard that it was to deliver medicine, they were all busy with their own affairs.
Cheng Yuan's footsteps are windy, like a wild horse on the loose.
Walking around the corner, he saw Princess Xianning squatting behind the rockery, her shoulders trembling.
"His Highness Xianning." Cheng Yuan shouted.
When Princess Xianning heard this, she ignored it, but got up and walked into the distance, walking very fast.
Cheng Yuan caught up with him, and was about to ask, when he saw her pear blossoms and rain, he was stunned: "Your Highness, why are you crying." ”
What are you crying about......
Xianning turned his face away and gave him a back: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing with this palace, please respect yourself." ”
Her fair face was streaked with tears, and she wiped it carelessly, but she didn't leave.
Cheng Yuan said graciously: "Your Highness, today I used the Yanling arrow to choose ...... Use. ”
The middle two words were ignored by him.
Xian Ning turned his head violently, looked at Cheng Yuan coldly and said: "Cheng Yuan, what does this palace have to do with you, what do you do with this palace!" ”
This dog man, playing with himself and writing letters to himself, if it weren't for An Cheng liking him, she wouldn't bother to take care of him, and she wouldn't want it for nothing.
Princess Xianning only has disgust for Cheng Yuan.
"Your Highness, maybe in your eyes, I am a nosy, hypocritical and shameless person." Cheng Yuan paused and said: "This is a medicine to repair scars, please keep it from Your Highness, such a good medicine, it is very rare, I found it from the old doctor in the capital." ”
She was about to say who is scarce about your medicine. Hearing the latter sentence, his heart changed slightly, and he turned around and said, "What did you say?" ”
Cheng Yuan took out the medicine: "No one wants to be stabbed for others, His Royal Highness was injured for me, I was very moved in my heart, Your Highness is like this, how can I Cheng Yuan be a person who doesn't know what to do, but there is one thing that can't put His Highness in." ”
He sighed abruptly and slipped the vial into her hand.
Although Xianning was a little surprised in her heart, she didn't give him a good face, as a high-ranking county lord, and then a princess, she was tired of men's good words.
It's just that he sent medicine, and his tone was sincere, and Xianning was willing to listen to him.
"What's the matter?"
Cheng Yuan smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, the Yanling arrow you have used in the past few days, someone wanted to use it to take my life last night." ”
"What?"
Someone put cold arrows when he got married.
She pursed her lips and said for a while: "What does this matter have to do with this palace." ”
"Yanling's arrows are used by the border army, and the arrows in my house are very deep, and you must be a martial arts practitioner to shoot with that kind of strength.
I heard that recently, there was a Yanling Arrow in Xianning Palace, so I came to ask His Highness, I was afraid that in the future, it would affect His Highness. I am even more afraid that His Highness will be injured because of this. After all, there will be a second assassination attempt. ”
Xianning said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier, I'll go and talk to my father and ask him to send a guard to you." ”
After speaking, she saw that the man in front of her had some guilt in his eyes, and she had a feeling of indescribability.
Cheng Yuan said: "Your Highness, I want to ask who gave you your Yanling arrow." ”
She also has brains, and she knew that it was a big deal, so she replied: "It's Song Ying, he taught me archery these days." ”
Cheng Yuan solved his doubts and had a bottom in his heart.
"Your Highness, I'll take my leave first."
Xianning thought that he had misunderstood something, so he wanted to leave, and subconsciously explained: "This palace and Song Ying are nothing. ”
Cheng Yuan stared at her, clenched his fists, and said word by word: "Your Highness, it's time to choose a horse, this is normal." ”
Xianning was stunned, and then said angrily: "Cheng Yuan, you bastard, get away from this palace!" ”
