Chapter 163: The Moon is Black and the Wind is High (1)
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was already late at night when the first snow had arranged everything and left the shop.
Yue Wangfu
really let Chu Xue guess correctly, the man who went to reach the world was King Yue.
"Home?"
King Yue, who had changed back into his outfit, was lying on the couch at the moment, King Yue was known for his self-discipline, and he should have gone to bed at this hour.
"Yes, master, the box is now in the caravan, and the leader of the caravan is guarding it personally, and the woman left the shop with nothing, and neither did the shopkeeper and the man."
There were people staring at the outside of the shop.
King Yue got up and stretched, touched the flying fish talisman on his waist, and said with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you go to Mei Shijiu or the fifth?" ”
"Nope!"
King Yue walked around the room with his hands behind his back with his eyebrows lowered, twisted his neck and said, "I thought I had some eyesight, but in this case, you go to the palace to deliver a letter and let the concubine act according to the plan." ”
King Yue said that the king couldn't help muttering again: "It's boring." ”
Then I went to bed.
Chu Xue thought about it and roughly figured out that the other party was either King Yue or King Yu.
Because of the five princes, and because of her own background, she has recently learned more about the royal family, judging from age, except for the five princes, only these two princes are the most matched.
The other party didn't deliberately hide anything, on the contrary, it seemed that he intended to let her know.
The flying fish talisman is a symbol of the prince's identity, if the other party really wants to hide his identity, why should he deliberately reveal the flying fish talisman hidden in the sleeve when giving her the token, the action is still so obvious.
If it is the king of Yue, what is the purpose?
If it is King Yu, what is the purpose?
These two princes really have nothing to do with her, Chu Xue thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter might have something to do with her getting close to Mei Shijiu or the fifth prince, otherwise she really couldn't find an entry point.
It was precisely because of this that she couldn't go to Mei Shijiu or the Fifth Prince.
Because she knows that tomorrow is a very important day for the five princes and Mei Shijiu.
"Miss, it's already night, you can rest early, if you have anything to do, you will be busy tomorrow."
After the first snow came back, she stayed in the house to think about things, and Tao'er looked at the hour and urged the first snow to rest, thinking that the first snow was thinking about business, and she was not in a hurry for this night, so she couldn't sleep.
"Peach, I'll squint, it's hard for you to be vigilant, wake me up as soon as it dawns, and wake me up no matter what movement there is at night."
"Yes, miss, you can rest in peace."
Where can she sleep in the first snow, she is forcing herself to lie down and close her eyes to recuperate, she feels that she is unconsciously involved in a whirlpool, she is like a piece of driftwood floating in the water, she can't control the direction by herself, she can only be swept away by this torrent.
Although Chu Xue did not inform Feng Ziyue and Mei Shijiu, Mei Shijiu had already received the news.
"You kid, you are absent-minded, it's not early in the morning, this chess game will not be played, the old man is also a little tired, what you just said, let's talk about it after the old man has seen someone."
In the dead of night, Mei Shijiu and Suo and the old gentleman, the teacher and the student have not seen each other for some days, and it is inevitable to have an exchange when they meet, and this sitting will be an hour and a half.
When the two were playing chess just now, Aqing informed Mei Shijiu about the situation on Chu Xue's side, how Mei Shijiu could still play chess with peace of mind.
The old gentleman was wise, and he saw at a glance that it was indeed too late to simply put it down.
Mei Shijiu got up, put down the chess pieces and looked at the chessboard, "Sir, keep this game first, and the students will accompany Mr. tomorrow to finish, it's late at night, Mr. should also rest, Shi Jiu won't bother today." ”
"Go ahead."
The old gentleman has gray hair, but his spirit is not bad, and his face is full of traces carved by the years.
"What's going on?"
As soon as he got into the carriage, Mei Shijiu asked in a low voice.
Ah Qing roughly said the matter, "... Childe, why did King Yue find Miss Chu Xue? ”
It won't really be to ask the world to send things, and even if it is, it won't be the turn of King Yue to go out in person.
If it weren't for the fact that Gongzi was worried that King Su or the Yun family would be staring at Miss Chu Xue, they wouldn't have thought that King Yue would go to find Chu Xue.
"Are you sure it's King Yue?" It can be seen that Mei Shijiu is also very surprised.
"The people below followed all the way, and this is sure to be King Yue."
"What about her? What's going on? ”
Ah Qing replied while catching the car, "No, she stayed in the shop for a while and then went home." ”
"Didn't do anything?"
"No... By the way, when King Yue went, the gang leader of the Mabang also went, and then he took a box with him when he left, and I heard the people below say that the box was the one that King Yue brought over, and the box is now in the Magang. ”
"Is there any movement after King Yue goes back?"
"King Yue didn't make any moves, but not long ago, someone in his house went out and went to the direction of the palace."
The palace was very heavily guarded at night, and his people didn't dare to get too close, guessing that they had entered the palace.
"I'm in the palace!!"
"I guess the people at the bottom haven't come back yet."
Mei Shijiu didn't ask any more, put down the curtain and leaned on the carriage to think carefully.
She didn't do anything, which means that she didn't figure out what was going on, and of course, it wasn't necessarily nothing.
King Yue... King Yue, he has always felt that he is a more dangerous character than King Su, King Su is on the bright side, but King Yue is different, King Yue is not as eye-catching as King Su, but in the court, he also has his own side of the force, but it is rarely noticed by people, and he is also very low-key, it is said that his work and rest are very regular, there is not much entertainment, and he rarely goes out of the house on weekdays.
King Yue's mother is Concubine Li, who is not as favored as Concubine Duan, but she is highly valued by the Queen Mother and is also one of the four concubines.
"Childe, King Yue and the Ninth Princess are compatriots of the same mother, do you say that King Yue should not be for the Ninth Princess..."
Ah Qing suddenly thought of something and let out a low startle.
Mei Shijiu thought of this stubble at the beginning, but quickly dispelled the idea, if King Yue personally found trouble with the first snow for the ninth princess, it would be because he looked up to it.
However, Ah Qing reminded him that maybe King Yue's original purpose was not this, but it did not prevent him from using this as an excuse.
"Keep an eye on it, and let me know if there's any movement."
"Childe, you might as well ask Miss Chuxue what the situation is, let's be prepared, Miss Chuxue must not know that the other party is the king of Yue."
"Let's talk about it at dawn, let people stare at it."
It seems that he or the fifth prince has caused her trouble.
Let's see what King Yue wants to do first, he will send someone into the palace at this hour, and there will be movement early tomorrow morning.
The night passed like this, and the next day the dust was cleared, and there was news before dawn.
It's quite a bit of movement.
The palace was stolen last night, and a few vases were lost in the palace, which were tribute jade and white porcelain bottles sent by Saigon.
The Holy One was furious, and the whole city searched for the thief who stole the vase.
Can enter and exit the palace to steal, is this an ordinary thief?
But what is even more strange is that a few vases, even if they are tributes, will not make such a big move, the city gate is full of officers and soldiers, and all those who enter and exit are strictly checked.
The thieves came and went freely in the palace, perhaps the saint felt that his face was gloomy, so he was so angry that he had to find out the thief.
