Chapter 105: The Truth
Brother Jiu couldn't help but think of the fortune teller's prophecy that the fifth sister-in-law had told him before: the crown prince would be deposed, and the fourth brother would become the emperor.
Coupled with the dream that the starling said, the ninth elder brother couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, although he didn't want to fight for the throne, but he saw many things in the imperial court, and the best candidate for the emperor in his heart was only the starling.
And Wanyue looked at Babel in shock, unable to see whether he was dreaming or being reborn like her? If this is the case, then it is terrible, Wanyue's face couldn't help but change.
But after thinking about it for a while, this idea was discarded by her again, if the eighth brother was reborn, then she should know her identity in her previous life, according to what the eighth brother said just now, there was no mention of her identity, which also made her a little suspicious.
Seeing that the faces of the ninth brother and the fifth sister-in-law seemed to change slightly, Babeile Yinxi took a deep breath, faced Wanyue, and asked slowly: "Fifth sister-in-law, I want to ask the maid named Yuqing in your house, do you know her background and fifth sister-in-law?" ”
The sudden sentence made Wanyue and Brother Jiu couldn't help but be stunned, the span of the conversation before and after seemed to be too large, and they both looked at Babel with wide eyes and disbelief.
Wanyue couldn't help but think of the eighth brother and Yuqing looking at each other at the birthday banquet of Lord Belle last year, she couldn't help but be a little speechless, she didn't expect that more than a year later, this eighth brother still remembered Yuqing!
"How does the eighth brother remember Yuqing?" Wanyue's gaze was still on Babel, and she pretended to be puzzled and asked.
Babel frowned and raised his eyes to look at Wan Yue, "Fifth sister-in-law, I have appeared this Yuqing in my dream, so I want to ask about her life experience." ”
Seeing that the starling brother cared so much about a servant girl in the fifth brother's mansion, the ninth elder brother couldn't help but think about it.
When Babeile told Wanyue and Ninth Elder Brother about that dream, he did not say that Yuqing was the Nian Guifei he dreamed of and the identity of the fifth sister-in-law in front of him as the fifth brother's concubine Fujin in the dream.
Wanyue sighed, when the eighth brother said that part of his dream, what the eighth brother said surprised her so much that she almost didn't listen to it in the second half.
"I remember when I met her, she was being chased by a group of teahouse boys, I heard her say that she didn't remember who her father was, she was arrested by the teahouse people as a maidservant girl since she remembered, her previous name was Xiaowan, and the people in the teahouse took it for her, it was very pitiful, so I asked her to come to our house on an errand. Later, after entering the mansion, he changed Yuqing's name. ”
Wanyue told the eighth brother about the incident when she met Yuqing, as well as Yuqing's original name.
After hearing this, Babel immediately calculated in his heart, it is better for people to investigate this matter and be prepared.
Brother Nine turned his head absentmindedly to look at Babel, the delicate dishes on the rosewood table had made him have no heart to eat, Starling's dream and the fortune teller's prophecy must not be groundless, it must represent some kind of hint, no matter what, he has to remind Starling to be careful of the fourth brother.
At the dinner table at this moment, Babeile pondered for a while before slowly looking at Wanyue, "Fifth sister-in-law, thank you for telling me about this." ”
Wanyue looked at him and nodded, the eighth brother spoke without hurry or impatience, and his tone was soft, no wonder many ministers in his previous life recommended him as the prince, but the old man disliked his biological mother a lot, even though he had the reputation of 'Eight Sages King', he still couldn't change his impression in the old man's heart, and I don't know if the old man would change his opinion of him in this life.
Eight Belle and Nine Elder Brother stayed in Wan Yue's house until three minutes before leaving, Wan Yue personally sent them to the front yard, and after seeing them leave, they returned to the house in Xinuan Pavilion.
As soon as Babeile returned home, he asked Fuzi, the personal eunuch next to him, to call a guard to wait in the study, and Yinxi saw that Fuzi was also standing in the study, remembering the previous dream, he still felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and hurriedly asked Fuzi to withdraw first.
Fuzi has been serving in the house on weekdays, and at this time he was called out by Babel, and he was stunned for a while before he reacted, and obediently withdrew and closed the door of the study.
The guard bowed his head slightly, earnestly waiting for Babel's orders.
Seeing that his face was honest, not like a thoughtful person, Babel stepped forward and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Benbeile has something I want to give you to do, I don't know if you can handle it?" ”
When the guard saw that Babel seemed to be taking care of himself, his heart was already excited, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and replied: "Qi Belle, the slave will definitely be able to do it." ”
Babel pondered for a moment, stared at him seriously for a few more times, and saw that there was not the slightest fear in his eyes, before he continued: "This matter is also easy to say, but you need to go to Huguang to find out. ”
The guard didn't think about it, raised his face, and replied seriously: "Lord Belle, don't worry, the little one is not afraid of hardship, even if I let me run to the territory of the Qing Dynasty, the slave will definitely be there." ”
Seeing that he had answered with certainty, Babel hurriedly handed him the letter on the table, and instructed, "You should first look at the things to be checked in this letter, and then put it in the brazier and burn it." ”
The guard took the envelope, nodded slightly, looked at its contents, and threw the letter into the brazier.
The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the third day of February in the 39th year of Kangxi.
It had been two months since the Eight Belle Yinxu had sent the guard out to investigate, and although there were occasional letters, the results were always unsatisfactory.
When he was in the study today, Fuzi outside the house ran in in with a panicked expression, "Lord Belle, the guard who left the mansion two months ago has returned. ”
Babel Yinxu glanced back at Fuzi seriously, put down the book in his hand, and then replied, "Let him in." ”
After a while, the guard walked in, and for two months, his face seemed to be much darker, and after he had finished saluting Babel, he took out the letter with the truth in his bosom and handed it to Babel respectfully with both hands.
After Yinxi took it, he swept it over at a glance, and his complexion couldn't help but change slightly.
The young daughter of the governor of Huguang was really lost and has not been found.
Babel couldn't help but think of that dream, and the letter he was holding inadvertently fell on the table, his face turned pale for a moment, and then his whole body was cold.
The guard stood beside him, and when he saw that Babel's face changed and changed, he did not dare to say more, and for a moment he did not know whether to stay here or go out.
After a long time, Babel said to him in a trembling voice, "You go out first." ”
As soon as the guard withdrew, Babel's face sank, and if the events in the dream came true, the fate of him and his ninth brother, as well as the fate of their family, would be doomed.
For the first time, he felt fear in his heart, and this fear came from the reality of the dream he had verified about Yuqing's identity, as well as other events in that dream that had not yet appeared.
He slowed down in the study for a while before he recovered, at this moment, he only had one thing to do, that is, his personal eunuch Fuzi was absolutely unusable!
Newcomers and new books, ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for comments, all kinds of requests.
