Chapter 45: The Purpose of Leaving the Palace
In another month, the emperor will drive back to Luan. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info which made Meng Yu very anxious. At present, the search in Xiyuzhou has not yet yielded results, and the clues in the palace must be sorted out before the emperor leaves Xiyuzhou.
However, this injury, on the surface, is fine, but it can't be exercised, and ordinary sword moves can't use half of the strength. Meng Yu could only lie in bed, but his heart was dry.
Early in the morning, he didn't have the mood to have breakfast, and waved his hand to let Yahuan bring down the rice porridge, side dishes and cakes that were cooked softly and hard. Then Fu lay on the bed again, staring at the gauze tent above his head.
After a while, Ying Shaoyan came in.
Meng Yu remembered that after throwing such a big tantrum at his cousin last time, the two of them had not met yet, and they were a little uncomfortable for a while.
Ying Shaoyan looked at him and smiled very gently: "Didn't you have breakfast." ”
Meng Yu stretched his waist and limbs under the quilt, and said strangely embarrassed: "Hmph, ha, ah, I started cultivating into an immortal today." If you become an immortal, you don't have to worry about solving the case, and you must be able to catch it. ”
Ying Shaoyan laughed and shouted outside, and a little girl brought a tray into it.
On the tray is a cup of green fruit tea and a plate of fried glutinous rice balls that look crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, a plate of noisy jujube millet cake, a small plate of cut and very fine pickles, and two green fruits in the clear tea.
Ying Shaoyan helped Meng Yu to sit up: "After eating, I have something you want to know to tell you." This is the most famous dim sum in Xiyuzhou, you are always running around outside, not staying at home honestly, guess you don't know what good things are in Xiyuzhou. ”
Meng Yu looked at the green fruit tea, the glutinous rice balls that were charred on the outside and white on the inside, and the fragrant millet cake, and couldn't help but really grunt in his stomach, and said to Shaoyan: "You are really a very careful and considerate person, and you can be so good to a big man like me." No wonder girls like you. It's a pity that Xiao Xuesheng was born at the wrong time. ”
Ying Shaoyan hurriedly interrupted him: "Don't mention this, now I am scared when I hear you mention Xiaoxue, and I always feel that the storm is behind." ”
Meng Yu thought for a while, and then said, "Not in the future, maybe it was me who was weird before." ”
Then he said to Shaoyan: "While I am eating, you are talking, don't suffocate me." ”
Ying Shaoyan said slowly: "As soon as you were injured, my uncle looked for me." I have already investigated the whereabouts of several eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who can leave the palace. ”
Meng Yu was very surprised: "It's true, you are really much more efficient than me." ”
Ying Shaoyan said: "Actually, it's not, it's because I'm more familiar with Xiyuzhou." These days, several of them are active outside the emperor's palace. There are five or six people who can leave the palace at will, Wu Yueqing, the emperor's steward, Liu Cheng, the chief eunuch, Wang Teng, the eunuch Wang Teng, the emperor's eunuch, An Yurong, the queen's palace maid, and Hu Quanzhong, the eunuch. In addition, there is also a Zhao Yuchang who is responsible for taking care of books and Buddhist scriptures for the queen's mother. This Zhao Yuchang is not ordinary, because the queen loves to read, and Zhao Yuchang is quite poetic and literate, well-organized, and capable, so she is very favored by the queen. ”
Meng Yu pondered: "I have known all these people, but I haven't had time to understand their whereabouts in Xiyuzhou."
Ying Shaoyan continued: "Among these six people, except for An Yurong, the others have all been out of the palace. Moreover, I also saw Wu Yueqing this morning, and according to what I have checked, she has come out more than once. ”
Meng Yu asked in surprise: "Where?"
Ying Shaoyan said with a smile: "You forget, my family's ancestral home is in Xiyuzhou, and there is a restaurant called Fengyunlou in the west of the city, which is the owner of my family." Usually the restaurant is taken care of by the shopkeeper, and I don't go there often. But this morning, I'm going to get you snacks for breakfast. Ahem. ”
Meng Yu slapped him: "Don't sell Guanzi, say it quickly." ”
Ying Shaoyan continued: "Because I bought early, I went early." I asked the guy to make it for me below, and I was upstairs drinking tea in the private room, and I happened to see a man and a woman enter another private room with a beautiful little girl. When I saw that the situation was not embarrassing, I called the shopkeeper to ask. As a result, the shopkeeper secretly told me that in the private room was Wu Yueqing, the emperor's housekeeper and palace maid, and she searched for folk beauties through some officials in Xiyuzhou, and planned to recommend them to the emperor. Originally, beauties were selected to enter the palace, and the emperor had his own internal supervision team. But after being selected, being an ordinary palace maid, or arranging to serve somewhere, may not even be able to see the emperor's face. But if you follow Wu Yueqing's path, you can serve directly in front of the emperor. It is said that she also collects money. And she always came out early, because after she was done, she had to rush back to the palace to serve the emperor. ”
Seeing that Meng Yu was silent in thought, Ying Shaoyan said: "It's up to you to judge this." And then let's talk about Liu Cheng. Liu Cheng is said to be the most loyal to the emperor, and he is very unaccustomed to some malpractices in the palace, and he is relatively incorruptible. Recently, however, Liu Cheng seems to have changed somewhat. This time in Xiyuzhou, although he made a clean and upright appearance to his uncle and Lord Xiao, it is said that through some other relationships, he even received a lot of filial piety and silver taels. This was found out with the help of his uncle, saying that he had accepted a nephew as a godson in his hometown, but as a result, he lost a lot of money in business, and he was in debt for prostitution and gambling. Later, someone paid off his godson's gambling debts for him, and his uncle went to find out, and it was Han Zhengjie who paid off the debts for him!"
Meng Yu's eyes couldn't help but widen: he really had no time to doppelganger, so he didn't bother to check the clues in the capital for the time being because he was in a hurry to go to Beiyan, but he didn't expect that his father and cousin thought of it for him, and he was angry at them.
Ying Shaoyan said again: "Hu Qianzhong is already very old, this is a slave with three surnames, and the whole world knows it." betrayed the former crown prince that year, so he had to continue to stay in the palace. But I don't know why the queen with the name of virtue would use him. This time, as always, he took a lot of bribes, and it was not hidden, and it was spread all over Xiyuzhou. His style in the capital has always been like this, so he has seen the most mixed people. Even some wealthy businessmen and magnates in Xiyu Prefecture also paid homage to him through their relationships. As for Zhao Yuchang, she went to Yimo Zhai to buy a lot of fine pen, ink, paper, inkstones and some beautifully printed rare books. Of course, Yi Mo Zhai gave her some famous calligraphy, and she accepted all the orders. And An Yurong, although she is the most powerful person by the queen's side, she is very restrained. Usually do things without leaving a handle on people, this time he is the only one who has not been out of the palace, but it is said that this person is very thoughtful, otherwise he would not be able to be favored by the queen. In addition, that day you got a report that someone had entered the emperor's palace, and I went to check the guards under Lord Xiao on duty, and indeed no one entered with a waist card. However, after the emperor returned from inspecting military affairs, his accompanying eunuchs and palace maids did not need to be inspected. Later, it was discovered that one of the eunuchs was missing. ”
Meng Yu couldn't help but gasp. At this time, Ying Shaoyan saw that he had eaten up the things unconsciously, and even the green fruits in the tea were eaten, leaving only two cores. He smiled and said, "You have to thank me well." Not only this meal early, but also these clues found. I also brought you one. ”
With that, he shouted again, and a little girl brought a person in.
As soon as the man came in, he shouted in a thin voice, "What a good smell! What is good to eat?
Meng Yu couldn't help but sit up: "Hou Lingshan, are you back?" ”
