Sun and Mu asked the two little servants to buy some appetizers in the restaurant and take them back to the guards to eat, so they rode horses and took Xunxiang to Zhuangzi.

Not far from the city gate, you will arrive at Pear Blossom Village, and Sun's Zhuangzi is also called Pear Blossom Village.

Zhuangzi entered the third time, the guards stayed in the outer courtyard, and Sun Youmu took Xun Xiang and the two girls to the inner courtyard.

Zhuangzi was cooler than the city, and many pear trees were planted, and green pears a little larger than cherries hung all over the trees.

When she came to the main room, Mrs. Sun sat alone in the hall.

She didn't wear makeup, and she was dressed plainly, but she felt completely different from before. Like a blooming white rose, beautiful and delicate.

Mrs. Sun held Xun Xiang's hand tightly, and the two talked for a while, and Yuhuan and Luo Er were invited by the girl of Sun Mansion to eat in the wing.

Mrs. Sun's face showed joy, and she led Xun Xiang and Sun Hemu through the back hall to the back house.

In the room sat Sun Hou Ye and a middle-aged man in his forties. The man looks very similar to Sun Hemu, elegant and handsome, with deep eyebrows, wearing a stone blue straight jacket and a hat.

He smiled softly at Xun Xiang.

This little girl is Feifei's master, and she often heard Master Mingyuan mention it in Xuandong, and when she returned home, she heard her son mention it from time to time......

Sun Youmu smiled and introduced, "This is Xiangxiang, this is my father." ”

Xun Xiang bent his knees to see the juniors, "Master Sun, Uncle Sun." ”

Sun Linzhang got up and hugged his fists and smiled, "Thank you, county lord, thank you Feifei on my behalf." The days there are boring, thanks to the little things. ”

Marquis Sun said, "County Lord, please take a seat." ”

A few people said a few polite words, and Mrs. Sun knew that they were going to talk about secret matters, so she got up and said, "You talk, I'll go outside and watch." ”

I heard Sun Linzhang say that ten years ago, he got a tip-off that Shen Mou, who was the prefect of Quanzhou at the time, colluded with the Japanese and had a relationship with a rebel king of Goryeo......

Sun Linzhang intuitively felt that the person behind Shen Mou was Concubine Li.

This matter is big, not only the courtiers betrayed the country, but also involved the palace concubines and princes, and he decided to go to Fujian to investigate in person.

There he not only got the evidence, but also found a key witness.

This witness was previously one of Shen Mou's confidants, Li Qin, because he didn't approve of Shen Mou's approach and wanted to quit because he was seriously ill, Shen Mou was afraid that he would reveal the secret and let him strangle him and push him into the river.

Sun Linzhang's informant had already made contact with Li Qin and rescued him when he was killed.

Sun Linzhang found the two people and got a letter and a record. The letter was written by Shen Mou to the leader of the Japanese Invaders, and the record is that Li Qin quietly recorded the time and person when Shen Mou sent the letter to the Japanese Kou and Li Xi.

I also knew one thing, Shen Mou and others had been plotting to create incidents and evidence of Su Tu's collusion with the Japanese through intermediaries, and wanted to use this to attack Gao Feng, who was the crown prince at the time.

Sun Linzhang returned to the capital with the record and letter. In order not to attract attention, he and Li Qin walked separately.

As a result, Sun Linzhang had an accident halfway, and Li Qin was nowhere to be found.

Xun Xiang looked at the letter and the record. Sun Linzhang hung on the tree all night, the dew and blood made the handwriting blurred, and after ten years, many keywords could not be read clearly. But before and after contact, I can still guess approximately.

There is also a sentence about Li Xi in the letter, although it does not directly say that Concubine Li is high, but it can show that Shen Mou has a connection with Li Xi.

Sun Hou Ye said, "I have arranged for my henchmen to find that informant to see if I can find Li Qin again, and I hope they are still alive." With these two things, and the old immortal who saved Linzhang, does the county lord think the emperor can trust Linzhang? ”

The main thing is whether they believe that Concubine Li and King Qi colluded with Li Xi and the Japanese through Shen Mou.

Xun Xiang said, "Although the emperor's grandfather doted on Concubine Li, he trusted the old immortal more. Although the old immortal did not say it explicitly, saving Uncle Sun has already explained everything. And,"

She raised her eyes and glanced at the people, "My imperial grandfather was poisoned, and the person who poisoned it should be Concubine Li." ”

Sun and Mu Zusun were both shocked.

Xun Xiang didn't say anything about Hongyi, only that she found that the emperor's eyes and face were wrong, and asked Master Mingyuan, who said that he might have been poisoned by a poison called Dark Bottom Blue, which came from Goryeo and was a poisonous herb.

"Eating a small amount can cure diseases, but taking it with goat's milk is poisonous......

Marquis Sun slapped the table and scolded, "That wicked woman is too bold to dare to poison the emperor." Choosing to poison at this time, do you think the time is ripe? ”

The dilemma now is where to tell the emperor about this. This matter must be kept secret for the time being, in order for Dong Yiqi to better resist the Japanese, it is not appropriate to arrest Shen Mou, King Qi and Concubine Li at present, and let them continue to send letters, so that the Japanese can pay the heaviest price.

Let the emperor see Sun Linzhang, and don't let others know that Sun Linzhang is still alive......

Xun Xiang said, "Uncle Sun will go back to Zhenhaihou Mansion to stay for two days, and I will find a way to let the emperor's grandfather go to Zhenhaihou Mansion to meet Uncle Sun...... If you talk about this, you can also detoxify his old man. ”

In fact, it is best not to let the emperor go to Zhenhaihou Mansion, but to go to the other courtyard of Sun Mansion in the capital. But for the sake of safety, it is impossible to take the emperor to the other courtyard.

After a few people finished discussing and eating briefly, it was already the beginning of the Shen Shichu, and Xun Xiang got up and returned to Beijing.

Several members of the Sun family returned to Zhenhaihou Mansion one step later, and Sun Linzhang had to put on makeup.

Xun Xiang returned to the princess's mansion and was already full of stars.

Before the carriage could turn into Tung Wing Street, a woman blocked the carriage.

The mother-in-law was sent by the Yan family order.

It stands to reason that the family order is a subordinate official of the princess's mansion, and she should obey the orders of Princess Dongyang. But Yan Jialing has already seen that Xun Xiang does things in an orderly manner and knows how to do things, while Princess Dongyang is reckless, and it is best to listen to the county lord for the sake of the princess's mansion.

Moreover, the county lord is still the treasure of the emperor and queen, and Yan Jialing is not willing to offend her.

Xun Xiang opened the curtain and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The mother-in-law whispered, "The county lord, today Her Royal Highness the princess was furious, saying that the county lord ran out every day, went out before dawn, and did not return when it was dark.

"He also said that the subordinates of the Purple Courtyard did not know how to persuade the county lord to learn well, and he should be punished. Mama Wang and Mama Wei were beaten with ten boards, and the girls were beaten with five boards.

"I also ask the county lord to go to Qijintang as soon as he returns home, and follow General Jiang, Miss Yuhuan, and Miss Luo'er to get ten boards, and the others to get five boards."

Xun Xiang was furious. Dongyang committed the princess's illness again, and took the anger of Xun Concubine's lack of seeing her on his daughter, and the anger of his daughter on his subordinates.

Now is a critical time, there are still many things to do, and it is impossible for Xun Xiang to go to Qijintang to face Dongyang.

And tonight she must go back to the Purple Courtyard again to get the antidote she had prepared before. Tomorrow I will go to the palace and then stay in the Ding Mansion.

Xun Xiang lifted the curtain and said to Jiang Xi, "Let people go to the yamen to invite my father back to the house, and we will go to the study." ”

I had to ask Xun Juma to come back to put out the fire, and then save the people of Ziyuan.

Although Xun is a concubine, Princess Dongyang has nothing to do with him. (End of chapter)
