Chapter 23: Behind Closed Doors

"At the beginning, in order to show my "identity", I quietly took a piece of material from the queen's palace......" Speaking of this, Uncle Guo glanced at the yellow silk cloth.

Xu Qi'an understood, it turned out that the yellow silk satin on Huang Xiaorou's body came from this.

However, there should be a lot of concubines with this kind of material in the palace, and it is difficult to use a single piece of material as evidence...... Xu Qi'an thought of this, and suddenly heard Huaiqing say lightly:

"Lord Xu can follow the clues of Uncle Guo according to the results of the autopsy, not to mention the mastermind behind the scenes who already knows the inside story.

"If the queen mother doesn't admit it, then there will naturally be evidence to help Lord Xu find out about Uncle Guo's head. What's more, with the iron bones of our uncle, he went to prison for one night, and he recruited everything. ”

The corners of Huaiqing's mouth outlined a cold arc.

What she said makes sense, it's my thinking that has inertia, such a fool, I'm afraid there are more handles, the crux of the problem is not how many handles he has, but the queen's choice.......

Although it's a fight that can't be helped, but after all, it's the only younger brother, if Erlang bullies men and women all day long, and political enemies use him to attack me, then can I save Erlang?

Xu Qi'an thought of Xu Xinnian with a group of servants and surrounded the women of the good family in the middle, and Xu Erlang greeted him with a lewd smile......

"It's so beautiful, it gives me goosebumps. Well, with Erlang's appearance, he doesn't need to be strong, and there are many good family women who are hungry for his body....." Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart.

"I want to see the queen, I want to see the queen......." Uncle Guo excitedly pounced on Huaiqing, like a child who made a mistake but longed for someone to give him a cover:

"Your Majesty will be abolished after it is abolished, anyway, she doesn't love Your Majesty, and the latter position is dispensable for her. But Huaiqing, you only have an uncle like me. ”

"Shut up!"

Huaiqing was rarely furious, and said sharply: "The relationship between the father and the queen mother, how can you slander it." ”

It's not so much that he's bold, it's not so much stupid, he doesn't care about his head and tail, and always thinks that someone will wipe his ass...... It's the same as a hot-blooded teenager with a broken mind.

In my time, it was a giant baby, lacking the beating of society....... Xu Qi'an sighed twice in his heart.

The most important thing is that it is indeed exciting to put a hat on the emperor, but the one who really dares to put it into action is the only one who scorpion.

Whether this matter is whether the queen is deposed or the uncle gets the due punishment, it is the emperor's family affair and has little to do with him.

So his mentality is very relaxed, at most he feels sorry for Huaiqing, but with Huaiqing's disgust for Uncle Guo, even if Uncle Guo is beheaded, his wife will not be sad.

Suddenly, Xu Qi'an had a flash of inspiration in his heart, the queen is the sister of the uncle of the country can't really do anything to him, but how could Duke Wei tolerate this kind of pig teammate?

Even if the two families are world friends, it is definitely easy to beat a gentleman with the wrist of Duke Wei and let him be honest.

"Does Duke Wei know about this?" asked Xu Qi'an.

Hearing this, Huaiqing immediately looked at him thoughtfully.

"Wei Yuan?"

Uncle Guo, who was still frightened and helpless a moment ago, suddenly became ruthless and angry, and sneered: "Yes, all this must have been designed by Wei Yuan, it must be him."

"He killed my father, and now he wants to kill me, he is a wolf-hearted thing, and he deserves to be cut off. ”

In Xu Qi'an's small brain, a big question flashed, and before entering the mansion, Huaiqing also told him that the Wei family and the Shangguan family were world friends.

Judging from the attitude of Uncle Guo, where is this world friendship, it is almost the same as a family feud.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an immediately looked at Huaiqing, she frowned, she also didn't seem to know the inside story, and she was also confused by Uncle Guo's words.

Xu Qi'an cleared his throat and took the initiative to ask: "What do you mean, why did Wei Yuan harm you." ”

Uncle Guo glanced at him and laughed coldly: "I dare to say, do you dare to listen? Do you know Wei Yuan's ....... back then?"

"Smack!"

In the middle of his words, Xu Qi'an slapped him and interrupted Uncle Guo.

"Okay, I don't want to hear it, I just want to bring you back to the Yamen of the Changing Men now. When Xu Qi'an spoke, he turned his head to look at Huaiqing and asked for her opinion.

Princess Huaiqing said, "Take it away." ”

"Huaiqing, Huaiqing, you can't treat me like this...... I am the only son of the Shangguan family, and your mother will not agree to you doing this......"

Uncle Guo was carried out of the house by Xu Qi'an, and according to Huaiqing's orders, his uncle was handed over to several guards, and they escorted him to the Yamen.

Xu Qi'an stepped on the horse, and the eldest princess, who had just entered the carriage, opened the window and said in a cold voice: "Lord Xu, you might as well ride in the same car with the palace." ”

Oh, that's not good, how can lonely men and widows share a carriage, my sister and aunt and I have never made a carriage....... Xu Qi'an quickly jumped off the horse and got into the luxurious carriage built of golden silk nanmu.

As soon as the coachman whipped his horsewhip, the two horses neighed and shook their hooves, and drove quickly and smoothly away from the street outside Shangguan's ancestral house and headed towards the imperial city.

In the carriage, a soft cashmere carpet is laid, and at the bottom is a soft collapse, which is covered with cyan Kuilong cotton cushions, two large chairs and a nailed coffee table.

The eldest princess took out the tea leaves from the wooden cabinet under the coffee table, lit the smokeless beast gold charcoal, and said while boiling the tea, "What advice does Lord Xu have?"

This is the ancient version of the nanny car...... This carriage is estimated to be worth a few thousand taels of silver....... Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart, heard the words, and muttered:

"Your Highness must have an idea in mind. ”

Huaiqing nodded slowly: "I have never disliked Uncle Guo, this matter started because of him, and it should have ended because of him." ”

The subtext is: I'm ready to hand over Uncle Guo.

But even so, the queen is still guilty of covering up. Xu Qi'an frowned.

This can be big or small, if Emperor Yuan Jing forgives magnanimously, then a small punishment is enough, and there is no need to abolish it. On the contrary, Emperor Yuan Jing can take advantage of this to abolish the queen, and the charges are enough.

Based on Xu Qi'an's understanding of Emperor Yuan Jing, this emperor is possessive and powerful, this kind of person has a deep mind, but he also can't rub sand in his eyes.

"Who said that the queen mother covered up, it was the uncle who learned about the case of Concubine Fu and knew that what he had done was about to be revealed, so he sent someone to beg the queen mother. The queen mother thought of the love of the bloodline, although she hated her uncle for doing such a thing that caused trouble in the palace, she still chose to bear the charge for her uncle. ”

Princess Huaiqing's expression and tone were as steady as an old dog, and her face seemed to say "That's right, this is the truth".

This...... Xu Qi'an sighed and said, "What the princess said is reasonable. ”

I'll go, if this woman marries home, it's hard to cheat and cheat.

"Bengong is very curious about what Uncle Guo didn't finish, why did Lord Xu interrupt?" the eldest princess said lightly.

Xu Qi'an calmly examined Huaiqing's beautiful facial features, "What did Uncle Guo want to say just now?" I don't know, if Your Highness wants to know, I will go back and interrogate for you." ”

He deliberately interrupted Uncle Guo just now, because this matter involved Wei Yuan.

For Xu Qi'an, there are two things that need to be avoided by himself, the first is the secret news of the palace, which goes without saying.

The second is the secret related to Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan is his immediate boss and backer, and if he wants to continue to mix in the capital, he must maintain a good relationship with Wei Yuan.

Then, he shouldn't know some of Wei Yuan's secrets.

Unless Wei Yuan told him personally.

Huaiqing smiled and said instead: "The queen's affairs don't need to worry about Lord Xu, the Wei Guild will handle it." What you want to do is to find out who is behind the scenes, what does Lord Xu think?"

Xu Qi'an frowned, looked at the purple clay pot at the bottom that was licked by the blue-red flames, and didn't speak for a long time.

........

Beat the yamen, Haoqi Building.

The black-clothed official entered the tea room and said respectfully: "Duke Wei, Princess Huaiqing's guards escorted Uncle Guo to the Yamen, and Uncle Guo shouted to see you." ”

Wei Yuan looked down at the fold, didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "The one who is about to die, there is no need to see it." Go and inform Nangong Jinluo and entertain Uncle Guo well. ”

After the black-clothed officials retreated, Wei Yuan closed the fold and slowly paced to the lookout, looking at the palace with a deep and vicissitudes of life.

........

Back at the palace, Huaiqing went straight to Fengqi Palace.

Xu Qi'an planned to continue to check the people on the list, so he called the little eunuch to deal with it collaboratively.

Follow the list, according to the map, and when I found the last person, I hit a nail.

That person was the palace maid of Jingxiu Palace.

"Sister Lang'er is serving the concubine, Lord Xu will come back later. The eunuch guarding the door stopped Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an glanced at the sky, and said with a pleasant face: "When will the official come over?"

The eunuch said indifferently: "Who knows, let's come again tomorrow." ”

"The case is urgent, how can it be delayed so much, I just understand it a little, a matter of one sentence. ”

Xu Qi'an took out a silver ticket of five taels of silver, "I am tired of being accommodating." ”

The eunuch who guarded the gate took the money, turned around and entered, and never returned.

"It's too much to deceive people!" the little eunuch was furious and said angrily: "Lord Xu, that dog is playing tricks on you." ”

"What will happen if I break in like this?" Xu Qi'an was expressionless.

"Oh, no. The little eunuch hurriedly stopped and persuaded: "It is a big crime to trespass into the concubine's bedroom." ”

Xu Qi'an nodded, turned around and left.

The little eunuch trotted up and said, "Just forget it, it's not early, so the adults should go back first." ”

"No, the official wants to ask His Royal Highness Lin'an for reimbursement. ”
