Chapter 373: Secret
Steward Han was about to kneel down to greet the emperor.
Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly approached him quickly and snatched the gift slip from his hand.
Steward Han was stunned and even forgot to kneel.
Not only Han Guanshi, but others were also surprised.
The emperor has always been calm, and he has never seen him lose his temper so much.
Gonggong Deng, who accompanied him, was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward with a worried face, "Your Majesty ......"
When going out, for the sake of safety, whether it is food and drink, or items that come into contact, they are usually inspected by Duke Deng first, and they will be handed over to the emperor only after making sure that they are not poisonous.
But Gonggong Deng saw that the emperor didn't wait for him to check the gift list and took it, for fear that something would be wrong, and wanted to take it away from him.
Who knew that the emperor not only let him touch the gift list, but also suddenly shouted at him, "presumptuous......"
Gonggong Deng was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy, he didn't know what he had done wrong, and he didn't know why the emperor looked so terrified.
The emperor ignored Gonggong Deng, and carefully stroked the gift list as if it were a treasure.
Everyone's eyes fell on the gift list with the emperor's movements.
On the cover, Danqing is painted.
Ling Chu looked at it curiously and found that there was a graceful and luxurious peony painted on it. On the peony is a lifelike colorful butterfly.
At this time, the emperor's hand was falling on the colorful butterfly.
To Ling Chu's surprise, she found that the emperor's hand was trembling slightly?
She subconsciously raised her head, and her eyes fell on the emperor's face.
On that majestic face, the expression was very complicated at the moment.
There is love, there is heartache, there is guilt, there is pain......
Curiosity kills cats.
After only looking at it, Ling Chu's heart tightened, and he immediately lowered his eyes, looking at his nose and nose.
Although the others were also curious in their hearts, they all saw the emperor's gaffe and anger just now.
No one dares to peek into the secrets of the Son of Heaven.
Everyone was like Ling Chu, hanging their heads and saying nothing.
No one dared to leave, let alone make the slightest movement.
There was a dead silence.
It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like it was just a few breaths.
The emperor trembled his hands and unfolded the gift list.
The list is written with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, jewelry heads and silk satins.
The emperor's gaze swept over and landed on the familiar and unfamiliar handwriting, and his heart ached.
Raise your hand and gently stroke it over the handwriting.
The action was like stroking the woman you loved.
Half a day.
The emperor slowly closed the gift list and looked at the second gift list in his hand.
On the cover is a picture of tall and slender green bamboo.
The second gift slip was thicker and longer than the first, and it was densely packed with gifts.
The handwriting on it was the same as the previous one.
It also made the emperor feel familiar and unfamiliar.
The long-lost heartache came up densely.
The emperor's hands were holding the gift list, and his knuckles were white.
After reading the two gift lists one by one, the emperor found that there was a letter at the bottom.
On the cover of the letter was written the words Ling Chu personally opened.
The emperor was stunned and did not open the letter.
"Lord Jiashan."
Ling Chu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised his head.
Seeing the emperor handing the letter in his hand.
Even more surprised.
Seeing that she didn't move, the emperor stretched out his hand in front of her again, "Your letter." โ
Ling Chu quickly glanced at the emperor and saw that he was not angry, so he slowly reached out and took the letter.
His eyes fell on the envelope and he saw his name, and then he knew why the emperor gave her the letter.
But the handwriting on it was unfamiliar, she had never seen it.
The emperor withdrew his hand, but saw that Ling Chu was holding the letter and did not move.
"Take it apart and take a look."
"Okay."
Ling Chu was a little confused, but he inexplicably felt that the emperor seemed to be a little anxious. And, as if I wanted to take the letter away and open it myself.
The emperor was so wrong, Ling Chu didn't have time to think about it, and raised his hand to gently tear open the envelope.
The emperor withdrew his gaze and slowly raised his head, but no one looked.
His eyes looked over the various boxes that the little guys carried, carried, carried, and carried.
The little ones were nervous, and they didn't know what was going on. Seeing King Dingyuan and them standing quietly aside, they didn't dare to move, hanging their heads and letting the emperor look at them.
The letter in Ling Chu's hand was not long, and only two things were written on it.
One is to tell her that the things on the gift list of the colorful butterfly were all given to her.
The other is to ask her to transfer it to Ning Chuyi on her behalf.
The envelope was not signed.
Ling Chu's first reaction was that her master knew that the Dingyuan Palace's mansion had given her a make-up gift, so he sent her these gifts.
But as soon as this idea arose, she rejected it again.
The handwriting on this letter is not from the hand of Xuan Yizhen, it is clearly written by a woman.
Moreover, as far as he knew, her master had no contact with Ning Chuyi at all, so how could she suddenly send him so many things.
It's not Xuanyi Zhenren, nor is it her other two senior brothers.
Ling Chu was confused.
After the emperor finished looking at the boxes, he looked back at Ling Chu.
"Lord Jiashan, can you show me the letter?"
As soon as the emperor's words came out, Ning Chuyi and King Dingyuan frowned at the same time.
Ling Chu raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, and silently handed over the letter.
To be honest, she was also curious.
The letter was for her, and she had a share of the gift.
But she didn't know who gave her the gift.
The emperor didn't have a share of those things, but he clearly recognized the danqing and handwriting painted on the gift list.
However, although he was curious, Ling Chu didn't ask a word.
Curiosity kills cats.
Staying away from the secrets of the royal family, especially the secrets of the emperor, is the royal way to save your life.
The emperor read the letter at a glance, and his face was sad and joyful.
Long.
Only then did the emperor retract his gaze and look at Steward Han.
"Who sent these gift lists and gifts?"
Steward Han was also uneasy in his heart, but he also fought on the battlefield with King Dingyuan when he was young, and he was quite calm at this time.
"Back to the emperor, it was sent by Weiyuan Dart Bureau."
"Who's the dart and where is it now?"
"It's the dart head Lei Dagang, who just let him go over to participate in the banquet in our house."
"Summoning the head of the thunder dart to come and see me."
When Lei Dagang heard that the emperor had summoned him, he hurried over nervously.
After seeing the salute, the emperor immediately pointed to the salute carried by those little servants and asked, "Who escorted these things here?" โ
Lei Dagang was puzzled in his heart, but he said respectfully on his face, "Back to the emperor, these things are escorted back to Beijing by a man named Chen Wu." One is for the lord of Jiashan and one for Lord Ning. โ
Ning Chuyi frowned, some of those things were for him?
How did he send the things to Dingyuan Palace?
After turning around in his mind, Ning Chuyi found that he didn't know Chen Wu.
This name doesn't sound like a real name.
The emperor had the same idea.
I interrogated Lei Dagang for a while, but I didn't get any useful information.
The dart board escorts the dart, and only safely delivers the dart to the designated person, and will not ask for the information of the person holding the dart in detail.
The emperor was silent for a while and waved the thunder dart head.
"Quickly summon Ning Guogong to come and see me."
