Chapter 273

Qingfeng sent the people around him to rest. He stood alone in the dark courtyard, holding his arms tightly. He thought about the impact of the princess's suicide on the imperial palace. What would the queen mother and Yan Hongtian do? What would their sisters do next? The more Qingfeng thought about it, the more frightened he became. At the end of summer, the air was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.

The door of the palace rings softly. Qingfeng looks up. Tuckahoe's thin figure quickly flashes into the palace and closes the door gently. "How about the princess?" said Qingfeng, running up to him

The voice behind her startled tuckahoe. I couldn't see Qingfeng's face clearly in the night, but the voice was a little hoarse and anxious, which indicated that Qingfeng's heart must be suffering during the time when she went out to inquire. Tuckahoe lowered his voice and said the news he had found: "don't worry about the master. After all the efforts of the doctors, the princess is no longer in danger."

That's it? Poria handle affairs cautiously, the mind is delicate, how can only inquire these? Knowing that she is anxiously waiting, if only these news how can come back at such a time? "Is there anything else?" asked Qingfeng with a sudden leap of heart

She's just getting better. I thought I'd let her have a good rest tonight. I'll talk to her tomorrow. She's so sharp. I can't hide it. Tuckahoe sighed: "it's late at night. Come to the room and talk."

Two people entered the inner room, green maple immediately pulled tuckahoe's hand, urgent way: "in the end what happened, you say quickly."

Qingfeng's thin fingers were a little cold. Tuckahoe helped her to sit down on the soft collapse in front of the bed and said: "after the doctor confirmed that the princess was not in danger, the Empress Dowager and the emperor called the building phase into the palace overnight."

At this time call the building sunset into the palace? Green maple face a dark, cold voice hums: "they want to force marriage?"

Qingfeng takes her hand and unconsciously tightens it. Tuckahoe lowers his head slightly, silent and unanswered. He gently pulls up the thin cover beside Qingfeng's feet.

Taking a deep breath, Qingfeng asked: "the building sunset Yes? "

Facing the anxious and pretending calm eyes of Qingfeng, tuckahoe shook his head and said, "I only heard that. Tomorrow, the princess will go to Xiangfu to have a rest."

"Near the water?" Green maple light hiss, the whole body sends out the gloomy breath lets tuckahoe eyebrow light Cu, cannot help but low voice exhortation way: "Lord son, some things, urgent also can't come."

It's no use being in a hurry. Qingfeng's self mocking smile, since she knew that her sisters were still alive, she was like a frightened bird. A little bit of wind and grass would make her tremble. After she died once, she didn't care about her life at all, but she cherished the lives of her sisters. They were still alive. It was a chance given to her by heaven. Knowing that it's useless to be anxious, Qingfeng can't restrain his restlessness. The sky outside the window has a light white belly. Qingfeng said wearily, "it's almost dawn. Go to have a rest."

"Yes." It's no use saying more. Tuckahoe retreats silently.

The door closed gently, and the inner room only heard her light breath. Qingfeng felt a chill. He pulled up the thin and wrapped himself tightly. His eyes unconsciously stayed on the big black umbrella, unable to open their eyes for a long time.

The Royal study

in the early Dynasty, Yan Hongtian came to the Royal study. The two eunuchs put the origami of the ministers in the early Dynasty and the memorials presented in different places on the desk according to the urgency. Xiao Yu, the former female official of the royal family, presented his favorite spring tea. Everything seemed to be the same as usual, but the people who had been around the emperor for many years still saw the difference. The emperor was always diligent in his work. When he arrived at the imperial study, he would immediately start to read the memorials. Today, he has the leisure to taste tea slowly?

Xiao Yu asked and looked to Gao Jin, who shook his head. Xiao Yu left her mouth and sent the maid to get some tea. She retreated silently to the side of Gao Jin. She secretly speculated that the emperor was waiting for someone with such a look. Sure enough, the tall figure appeared outside the imperial study.

Xiao Yu's face is full of contentment. She guessed it right! But... How does the look of the building look unusual?

Gao Jin coughs softly. He whispers beside Yan Hongtian, "emperor, please meet me."

Mouth slightly Yang, Yan Hongtian light sip a hot tea, head also does not lift, not hurry back: "Xuan."

When Lou Xiyan walked into the palace, Yan Hongtian said with a light smile, "what's going on at home, so soon?" This morning, the mother and empress sent Xuaner to Xiangfu in person. The process must be wonderful, or the sunset would not look like this.

Lou Xiyan's Phoenix eyes flicker slightly, and she doesn't reply, but the smile that hangs around her mouth all the year round fades away.

Really angry? Yan Hongtian put down his teacup and said in a loud voice, "let's go."

"Yes." In a blink of an eye, they were only left in the imperial study, looking at each other coldly, while being solemn and deep. For a long time, Lou Xiyan whispered, "the emperor did this, and the only one who will be hurt is the princess."

He's here for questioning? Yan Hongtian's face was dim. He replied in a deep voice, "what do you want me to do? The blessing ceremony will begin soon, and envoys from all countries will arrive one after another. You don't think there are enough things to do. At this time, you should propose to marry Qingling, who is still the right wife! You and Xuaner's marriage has been tacitly understood for so many years. Xuaner has already identified you. Now she has to commit suicide. How can the Empress Dowager give up

"Again..." Lou Xiyan is silent all the time. Yan Hongtian turns his words, snorts and laughs: "Qingling was originally mine. You took the lead. Is it so easy for a beauty to get it? Of course, what you have done is to solve it by yourself. Should I clean up the mess for you? " Yan Hongtian has a happy feeling in his heart. Over the years, the face of the sunset always has the expression that everything is under control. If a green spirit can make him change his face, it's right to send the bright moon to the wrong person this time!

Slowly made a monarch and Minister of the ceremony, the building sunset clear smile, return: "since this is the case, the minister alone processing, do not bother the emperor bother."

Damn, it's that kind of determined smile again. Yan Hongtian's heart gives birth to a trace of depression and worry. She sighs in a low voice: "Xuaner is my sister after all. You can do it by yourself."

He didn't mean to let him deal with it. Now he's hurting his sister again? A faint smile on one's face and a smile on her lips, Yan hung added to the more annoyed and cold voice, humming, "I see you are still too busy lately." And I'm in the mood for so many things.

Lou Xiyan is funny. Is that anger?

"The emperor, when he only asked for punishment, he said that he had an important report." Fortunately, there was a high-speed announcement outside the door, which broke the secret contest in this room.

Yan Hongtian stares at the building's sunset, takes back his sight and says: "Xuan."

Shan Yulan strides into the hall and salutes: "see the emperor, long live the emperor."

Just now, the emperor and Lou Xiang didn't know what they were talking about. They held back and made her spread tea and snacks, but they didn't know whether to send them to the inside. When Shan adults met, Xiao Yu hurriedly brought the tea on his hand to the desk and quickly withdrew. She has no interest in things in the court, and she doesn't want to hear a word about things she shouldn't listen to.

"Flat." Shan Yulan was in a hurry, and there was a faint excitement between his eyebrows. What made the Secretary of justice of the dome so excited? He took up the newly made hot tea. Yan Hongtian said with a smile, "what's the matter with Shan Qing's family?"

Well, the temperature of tea is just right. Xiao Yu is a bit tricky sometimes, but she is considerate and meticulous.

"Back to the emperor, I found this in Hanoi, the underground cave where the gold disappeared strangely." Shan Yulan takes out a golden thing from his sleeve. Gao Jin takes a look at it. It's a ingot of gold.

Gao Jin turns around and presents it to the emperor. Yan Hongtian takes a look at the gold ingot. His face darkens. He changes his relaxed and lazy appearance and says with a dignified look: "go on."

"I suspect that the gold theft three years ago was not just a small bodyguard colluding with mountain bandits to steal the bank silver. At that time, there may be hidden grievances. I asked the emperor to allow me to review the gold case. "

Put the gold back on the table of the case to show Gao Jin to Lou Xiyan. Yan Hongtian holds the tea cup again, and his face recovers as usual: "the gold case in that year was reviewed by the criminal department, and the Ministry of war assisted in the final settlement of the case. The case was retried, which involved a wide range of people. How sure are the so-called secret grievances? Where is gold now? "

Shan Yulan raised his head slightly, looked at the emperor who had bowed his head to drink tea. He could not guess the meaning of the emperor's words for a while. Then he looked at the building beside him. He just stared at the gold ingot and wondered what he was thinking about. After thinking for a while, Shan Yulan replied truthfully: "I found some stolen gold in the underground river, which shows the most important link in the gold case It's a wrong case that the bodyguard colludes with the mountain bandits to protect them from transporting gold from another export. Obviously, they are not satisfied with the facts. Who is the main plot to blame the bodyguard, and where the gold finally went, must be thoroughly investigated to have the final result. "

"Well, you go back and draw up a memorial for the retrial of the gold case. Please elaborate and submit it for further discussion."

"Yes, Minister Retire. " Shan Yulan's heart hesitated. The gold case shocked the court and the field, and it was also related to the Treasury deposit. Now it's hard to get new news. Why is the emperor's attitude so Be perfunctory? Although she was puzzled, Shan Yulan did not dare to delay, leaving the ceremony

Lou Xiyan gently rubbed the four inscriptions behind the fifty-two gold, the official Treasury silver, which was indeed the gold stolen that year. Today, when he left, Qing Mo happened to find ling'er in Xiangfu. Shan Yulan found the fifty-two gold left in the cave at this time. There must be their credit here. He thought ling'er was special enough. Recently, it seems that the girl named Qing Mo is not simple. I don't know if the green maple in the palace is also extraordinary.

Lou Xiyan plays with the gold ingot in her hand, and suddenly looks up at him with a hint of teasing in her eyes. Yan Hongtian is bewildered by him and asks, "what do you think of the retrial of the gold case?"

Lou Xiyan slightly lowered his head, covered the smile of the corner of his mouth, pretended to ponder for a moment before shaking his head and sighing: "I think the time is not right."
