Chapter 56: Inquiry
Tonight's events, there is no need for Nan Zhu to come over in person.
But he was very curious about this, the only girl of the Shen family who could become the sweetheart of his master.
That's why I came in a hurry.
In front of Xiao Jue, this reason is naturally unspeakable.
So Nan Zhu pondered for a moment, and replied to Jiang Fengmian with a smile:
"Naturally, there is a serious matter."
Then, he turned to Xiao Jue's direction and said respectfully:
"The information that my master asked me to collect yesterday has been sorted out by my subordinates."
Xiao Jue paused, and after thinking for a moment, he remembered that after he left the palace last night, he explained the matter of Nan Candle.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile:
"That's it?"
Nan Zhu stubbornly said:
"The subordinates are worried about the mistaken master, so they ......"
Xiao Jue's slightly cold gaze swept over, Nan Zhu couldn't withstand the pressure, and couldn't help kneeling in front of Xiao Jue and lowered his head.
"If your subordinates know their mistakes, please punish your master."
With a cold snort, Xiao Jue turned his head away and stopped looking at him.
Nan Candle's little bit of caution, where can he hide his eyes.
At the palace banquet last night, Emperor Chongming suddenly issued an order to crown the crown prince.
This incident can be said to have caught everyone off guard.
Even Xiao Jue was surprised for a long time when he heard it.
But what made Nanxing and Nanzhu more interested was Xiao Jue's first time treating a woman differently.
Xiao Jue didn't bring the secret guard into the palace last night, so everyone regretted that they couldn't be present to see their master "angry at the crown".
But that didn't stop them from being enthusiastic about the discussion.
In particular, after Xiao Jue left the palace last night, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he instructed Nan Zhu to let him carefully sort out all the information about Shen Qiaoshen from birth to the present.
When they inquired about the news of the Shen Mansion before, they automatically ignored Miss Shen Si.
Who would have thought that it was this Shen Si girl who could become the biggest variable.
……
Nan Zhu escaped, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
But I heard Xiao Jue's voice coming from above my head:
"Say it."
Nan Zhu was stunned for a moment, and only in the next second did he realize what Xiao Jue was talking about.
He raised his head and saw that Xiao Jue no longer seemed to blame him.
So he stood up and whispered to him what he had found.
……
Shen Qiaoshen's life is very simple.
In just thirteen years, most of the time has been spent recuperating.
Because of his weak body and the absence of his biological mother, he was raised by his grandmother, Mrs. Shen, since he was a child.
Before the Lin family left Beijing, they often walked around with the Shen family.
After all, they are blood relatives, and the Lin family still loves this weak granddaughter very much.
"It is said that Miss Shen's calligraphy was taught by her uncle, Master Lin, herself."
Shen Qiaoshen's uncle Lin Yushi was the brother of Mrs. Shen's Lin family, and he was also a famous talent back then.
"I heard that Master Lin was very satisfied with Miss Shen's words. Over the years, she has often publicly stated that the four girls' words are quite stylish, and they have long been blue. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Fengmian, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but interject:
"Master Lin is a great Confucian in the world, and he is quite accomplished in calligraphy. Miss Shen Si is young and frail, and her words can be so highly praised by Master Lin, she must have put a lot of effort into these years. ”
Nan Candle nodded, and continued.
"Nothing else, she has rarely gone out all these years because of her health. After the Lin family left Beijing, few people had seen her. ”
Nan Zhu paused, and suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, by the way, there's one thing, it's a little weird."
"I found Miss Shen Si, it seems that she has been communicating with someone all this time......"
Speaking of this, Nan Zhu hesitated.
Jiang Fengmian asked casually: "It's normal for women to communicate with each other, what's so strange about this." ”
Nan Candle shook her head. "No, although the letter was sent by the maid next to Miss Shen, the handwriting on it is not that of Miss Shen."
Jiang Fengmian was also stunned when he heard this, and just wanted to say something, he heard Xiao Jue, who was speechless, suddenly said:
"Where did the letter go?"
Nan Zhu hesitated a little, but still said softly for a while:
"Drunken Jiangyue."
"The letter was delivered to Zui Jiangyue."
……
Jiang Fengmian was stunned for a while, he looked around, and said in disbelief:
"Deliver a letter here? Who is she communicating with? Is there anyone she knows here? ”
Nan Zhu shook his head, the time was too short, he could only check these for the time being.
Xiao Jue frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.
Slender fingers tapped on the tabletop one after the other.
The three of them were silent, and only "da...... could be heard in the air The sound of a ......".
……
After a while, Xiao Jue's brows furrowed, as if he had a guess in his heart.
"Ji Qingyuan." He said in a deep voice.
"What?" Jiang Fengmian and Nan Zhu glanced at each other, and then looked at Xiao Jue together, expressing their puzzlement.
"I said, the person who corresponded with Shen Si should be Ji Qingyuan." Xiao Jue said word by word.
"Why do you think so?" Jiang Fengmian subconsciously asked.
Xiao Jue leaned on the backrest, supported his cheek with one hand, still looked casual, and smiled lightly:
"Guess."
“……”
"Poof......
Nan Zhu caught a glimpse of Jiang Fengmian's face and chuckled unkindly.
Xiao Jue turned a blind eye to his friend, who wanted to kill.
Turning his head straight, he looked at Nan Candle Road:
"There's nothing special about her other than that."
"For example?" Nan Zhu was a little puzzled.
Xiao Jue groaned:
"She, did she have any dealings with Xiao Li or the Li family before?"
Jiang Fengmian couldn't care about being angry when he heard this, and immediately said:
"The Li family...... You mean Li Chun, the left minister? ”
Seeing that Xiao Jue did not deny it, it was the Li family.
Nan Zhu pondered for a moment and shook his head firmly:
"As far as I know, it shouldn't be. Miss Shen Si has always been unsociable and rarely goes out. There is no chance to get to know others. ”
"Then during her time, has anything happened suddenly, such as an accident or something?" Xiao Jue continued to ask.
Although he didn't know what his master's intentions were, Nan Zhu still racked his brains to reminisce.
……
Soon, he remembered something.
"By the way, there's one thing, I don't know if it counts."
Seeing Xiao Jue nodding, Nan Zhu continued:
"Some time ago, it is said that this Shen Fourth girl once fell into a coma in the house."
Jiang Fengmian nodded, he also knew about this.
"A while ago, there was indeed a word in the palace. said that after the four girls were rescued, they remained asleep and had a high fever. The doctor has been invited several times, but he is helpless. ”
"In the end, Mrs. Shen had no choice, so she specially entered the palace and asked the Queen Mother for medicine."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional:
"The only Xuanhuang Linglong ginseng in the palace, the Queen Mother didn't even think about it, so she directly asked Old Madam Shen to take it back."
Xuanhuang Linglong ginseng is precious and abnormal, and it is said that no matter how serious the disease is, as long as there is still a breath, it can be saved.
In order to avoid trouble, the Queen Mother gave Xuanhuang Linglong ginseng, but no one else knew about it except her henchman Mama Ji and Old Madam Shen.
