Chapter 247: The Invitation of the Grand Master
In the envoy's mansion, Chu Linche looked at Yan Qinghan, who was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea calmly, and sighed.
A maid served tea, then stepped aside directly, and stood silently outside the pavilion where they were, looking so smooth and natural.
Chu Linche looked at the maid, who looked quite good, but in his eyebrows and eyes, there seemed to be a slight dullness, and he said in a deep voice: "Go down!"
The maid was stunned, she didn't expect Chu Linche to send her away directly, but since he had already spoken, the maid could only bite her lip slightly, blessed her body, and retreated.
"In the envoy's mansion, there is surveillance everywhere, which is really annoying. Chu Linche muttered, feeling irritable.
Yan Qinghan's face still didn't change: "You should know these things before you came." β
Chu Linche said: "Of course I know, it's just whining." By the way, you really don't plan to make it clear to Shen Yanshu?"
Yan Qinghan's eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "When you call her in the future, don't call her by her name, but call her princess." β
Chu Linche: "......"
"Okay, then why don't you go to your princess to explain?" Chu Linche said, "It looks like she's really angry." β
The more Chu Linche slept last night, the more he felt a little unhappy in his heart, after all, he was the first to provoke this matter, and it was he who made Shen Yanshu so angry, making Yan Qinghan and her hurt the harmony between husband and wife.
Yan Qinghan glanced at him and said, "I've already asked Mo Feng to do it." β
"Do you know where she is?" asked Chu Linche.
Yan Qinghan said: "Naturally, there is a way to know. β
"Looks like I'm fooling around. Chu Linche pursed his lips, as if relieved.
Yan Qinghan said: "It's just that this Qi Yi's righteous daughter, I haven't heard of it before." β
Chu Linche said: "I also think it's very strange, but only in this way can it be explained why Shen Yanshu cares so much about the people of the Qi family." Maybe it's because Qi Yi passed the Qilin Talisman to Shen Yanshu, in order to protect her identity, so he didn't disclose it to the public?"
Yan Qinghan's eyes flashed, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what was wrong.
But now it is certain that Shen Yanshu is Ni Shang, the owner of the Qilin Talisman, that is, the woman in the Cloud Mansion, so her power is so strong, and it will always surprise people.
Yan Qinghan felt that his analysis was not unreasonable.
"By the way, do you remember the forbidden place set up by the emperor in the palace?" Chu Linche asked.
Yan Qinghan recalled that Shen Yanshu was also very interested in that forbidden place, and he had trespassed into the forbidden place, so he used Concubine Shu to bring down the queen and King Ning's party, and he naturally remembered it.
Chu Linche saw him nodding, and then said, "Father sent a message saying that he had found out the secret in the forbidden land. β
Yan Qinghan raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You can't guess who's inside. Chu Linche said, "Father said that the emperor is now privately sending someone to find a woman, and that woman is the secret in the forbidden land, and she is the person who is protected by the emperor in the forbidden land." β
A woman?Yan Qinghan felt a little incredulous and asked, "Who?"
Chu Linche looked around, although there was no one, he still leaned in front of Yan Qinghan, and said softly: "Mrs. General Zhenbei, Qi Yi's wife Jiang Wan." β
"Mrs. Qi?" Even Yan Qinghan, who had always been calm, was a little surprised.
It is rumored that the wife of the general of Zhenbei was arrested and imprisoned, and later starved to death in the prison, and there is no news since then, Mrs. Qi's maiden home Anding Hou Mansion has not even seen her body, and later the Hou Mansion has moved out of the capital.
But how could she be in the forbidden place in the palace? Could it be ......
Chu Linche continued: "I heard that when the emperor was young, he asked the former emperor to marry him and Mrs. Qi, but the first emperor refused, and instead gave Qi Yi and Mrs. Qi a marriage. In this way, the emperor probably still thinks about Mrs. Qi, so he cares so much. β
No wonder no one can enter the forbidden place in the palace, even those who trespass must be executed, because this is indeed a huge secret, if people know that the emperor hid the wife of the courtier, I am afraid that there is another faint king in this history book.
Shen Yanshu cared so much about the forbidden land, it turned out that she had long known that the person inside was Jiang Wu.
Yan Qinghan asked, "Now that my father has found out where Mrs. Qi is?"
Chu Linche said: "This matter is extremely hidden, and it is all in the responsibility of the Ouchi guards in the palace, and the news can't be spread, but my father found out that the Ouchi guards who are responsible for finding Mrs. Qi seem to have rushed to Jiangnan." β
Gangnam ...... Yan Qinghan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly thought of Shen Yanshu.
Could it be that Shen Yanshu arranged Mrs. Qi in the Xiao family in Jiangzhou?
"Mo Bai. Yan Qing said coldly.
Mo Bai fell directly to Yan Qinghan's side from the side, and bowed his hand and said, "Lord Wang." β
Yan Qinghan instructed: "Secretly reveal to Shen Yanshu the matter of the Ouchi guards rushing to Jiangnan to find someone." β
"Yes. Mo Bai answered, and then retreated directly.
Looking at Mo Bai's figure, Chu Linche didn't understand Yan Qinghan's intentions.
"Why don't you just tell your princess? β
Yan Qinghan said: "Our relationship does not need to be eased. β
Chu Linche said helplessly: "Okay, good, your love is stronger than Jin." β
Yan Qinghan said: "Send some people to interfere with the search of the Ouchi guards." β
Chu Linche nodded and said: "Father has already done this, how can this Mrs. Qi say that she is also the widow of the general of Zhenbei, if it is really a last resort, my father will directly plan to announce Mrs. Qi's identity, so that even if the emperor has a heart, she can no longer be placed under house arrest." β
Yan Qinghan got up and turned his head to look at a pond around him, the fish in the water were swimming, looking very happy.
"By the way, the palace will hold a banquet in two days, we have to be careful, the princes of Daqili are now competing for the crown prince, which is really full of tricks. Chu Linche reminded.
Yan Qinghan nodded, but didn't say anything.
In the tea house, Liu Xi'er frowned.
At this time, the tea house has returned to normal, but Liu Xi'er no longer strokes the qin, and the guests naturally have no more excitement at the beginning, and now there are just a few scattered guests.
Liu Xi'er sat in the backyard, looking at the invitation in her hand, and hesitated for a while.
This palace banquet, where can she participate in this status?
Huo Shu said: "If you don't want to go, you refuse." β
Liu Xi'er's eyes flashed, she turned her head to look at Huo Shu, and chuckled: "How can you refuse the invitation of the Grand Master, and what he said is not unreasonable." β
If it was the post of the third princess Yuwen Yingzhu or An Minglan, Liu Xi'er refused and refused, but this is a post sent by Mrs. An, saying that she is Ruyi's fiancΓ©e and will be the hostess of the An family in the future, which is essential for this kind of occasion.
Other female relatives of officials above the fifth rank will go to the banquet, if she always refuses like this, then where can the face of the An family be put in the future?
Master An said in the letter that he didn't mind her background, but hoped that she could shoulder the responsibility of the daughter-in-law of the An family.
With such words, how can Liu Xi'er not hesitate?
But she is still just Ruyi's fiancΓ©e, and she has never been in contact with the circle of ladies and misses, so she is afraid that she will make a fool of herself.
Huo Shu said: "Otherwise, I will go with you." β
Liu Yue, who was in one area, said: "You can't bring guards in the palace banquet, you can only bring personal servants or maids, you naturally can't get in, and you can't follow her like this for the rest of your life to teach those who want to bully her." β
Still have to let her grow up on her own.
Liu Xi'er bowed her head and said, "Mother is right, I will take care of myself." β
Huo Shu said: "Let Xiang'er go with you, I can rest assured that she is here." β
Liu Xi'er and Liu Yue's eyes flashed, and then they remembered that there was still a Ni Shang.
Huo Shu continued: "Ni Shang has a good background, and she knows some royal etiquette, and more importantly, her martial arts are not weak. β
Liu Xi'er said: "The third princess and the fifth prince can recognize ...... of Shang'er"
Liu Yue said: "You don't need to worry about this, you are going as an An family, even if they can't see it anymore, but they also have to take into account the face of the An family, An Taishi is high and powerful, An Ruyi is a rookie in the court, and it is not beneficial to provoke the An family." β
An Taishi is a first-class minister, and he is extremely powerful, even the prince will not provoke such a family for no reason.
Huo Shu admonished: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, especially the people who settle down, An Huaijin is not a good person." β
Liu Xi'er nodded, the last time it was An Taishi's order to send someone to assassinate their mother and daughter, even An Minglan was full of malice towards her, compared to others, the people of the An family should really be wary of.
Huo Shu went to Ni Mansion to find Shen Yanshu, and Shen Yanshu agreed without saying a word.
It's just that when she attends the palace banquet, she will see many acquaintances, and she can only disguise herself as Liu Xi'er's maid.
Shen Yanshu arrived at the Tea House that night, although she is a native of the Great Zhou, she also has a lot of research on the etiquette of Daqi, so she naturally understands it, and Liu Xi'er is not a stupid person, only two hours, she remembered what Shen Yanshu taught.
Knowing that An Huaijin asked Liu Xi'er to also attend the palace banquet, An Ruyi originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw Shen Yanshu there, she was a lot more relieved.
This woman is so powerful that even he can defeat it, and she can withstand ten guards with strong martial arts.
If Shen Yanshu knew what An Ruyi was thinking, he would have to knock him hard.
When she returned to Ni's mansion, it was already night, but as soon as she returned to the courtyard, Ni Zhen's subordinates sent a letter.
She unfolded the letter, which was written by Chen Yanxi.
The emperor seems to have noticed that Jiang Wu had fled to Jiangnan, and he sent people to search everywhere, and the Xiao family was the top priority of their surveillance, but fortunately, Jiang Wu did not live in the Xiao family, and the people of the Xiao family did not know Jiang Wu's identity, if they wanted to find her, I am afraid it would not be easy.
Now, in order to avoid suspicion from the people who are secretly investigating, Chen Yanxi has stopped contacting Jiang Wu and Qi Yunhao, and when she got the news, she asked people to spread the word and told them not to run around, in such a small town, it was quiet.
Shen Yanshu looked at the letter in his hand, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Yan Li really won't give up looking for her mother easily, it seems that she has to plan earlier.
