Even if Leng Shuang is confused again, Qin yunuan can't explain it to her in a short time. If it's late, Daqi will lose another good general.
At the same time, Sima Rui is being secretly escorted by Leng Wu to the most heavily guarded secret room of the imperial palace for temporary detention.
"Go in." Leng Wu glanced at Sima Rui coldly, his face expressionless.
"Your injury? It's very good. " Sima Rui took a provocative look at Lengwu's injured arm. Lengwu didn't speak, and Sima Rui's mouth suddenly flashed a cool smile. He looked up and opened three lights and shadows from the outside of the cage window lattice. Suddenly he said, "it's a pity that in another half hour, Daqi will lose a good leader."
In the evening, Qin yunuan has returned to the yard. Leng Changxi, on the safe side, has not allowed her to go out of the yard any more. He has also sent Leng Shuang and the most careful two of the 18 shadow guards to guard her. All the information Qin yunuan received was collected and inquired by Man'er.
"How is it?" Qin yunuan looked at Man'er who hurriedly came back from the outside and pulled her sleeve.
Man'er gasped and said, "when leng'er arrived at the barracks, the emperor's people had arrived. At that time, she was in a stalemate and was almost ready to work. Fortunately, one of the gongs who went to make an announcement knew Leng. After hearing leng'er's words, they only said that they would invite the emperor back."
"It's good to come back." Qin yunuan's heart fell down.
Man'er is puzzled. "How do you know that general Meng in the barracks is real, but the man in the secret way is false? It's hard to distinguish the true from the false of these two general Meng. If you make a mistake... "
, "as like as two peas," I was not sure at first. "In fact, for most people, when they see the same person in the secret road and the army commander, they naturally think that the other one is fake. But who knows, Sima Rui is cunning and treacherous. He just used the psychology of people. I guess he had found my whereabouts. In fact, he deliberately led me to the secret room. He wanted everyone to think that general Meng in the barracks was fake, and with the emperor's clean and decisive character, after knowing the news, he would definitely order the secret killing of general Meng in the Barracks at the first time, and would not ask for confirmation from Princess Yun and the Grand Prince at all. "
"The third prince is really cunning." Man'er exclaimed.
"No, he's not cunning, he's clever, even a little too clever," Qin yunuan exclaimed. "I have to admit that it's really a way to make the best of both worlds. In this way, he can not only get rid of the family of the first general of the Qi Dynasty, but also get rid of one of the powerful arms of Princess Yun and the emperor. If he can succeed, he can also lock himself in the secret room The false enlightenment was given to the Rightists, who took the opportunity to control the military power of the central government. "
"But," frowned man, "but the third prince has not been..." Man'er wants to say that Sima Rui's whereabouts have been exposed. The emperor can't trust Sima Rui any more in his life.
"I know what you want to ask," Qin yunuan sighed. "Sima Rui played dark with the emperor before. I think this time, he will start to play bright. Believe it or not, something will happen on the way to the carriage of the third prince to the imperial mausoleum."
"Is it someone who wants to kill him?" Asked Man'er.
Qin yunuan shook his head: "no, he wants to save himself." Looking at Man'er, he was ready to talk and stop at once. Qin yunuan just picked up the scissors on the table and cut the wick a little shorter, which made the candlelight brighter. "We can't stop it. It seems that this incident in the palace is not an end, but another beginning."
In the evening, Leng Changxi was very tired when he came back. Qin yunuan carefully brought the foot washing water for Leng Changxi, and turned off all the servant girls and Mammy. He was ready to wash it for Leng Changxi in person. However, the white fingers like spring onions touched the hot foot washing water and Leng Changxi yanked it up.
In amazement, Qin yunuan was already held in his arms by Leng Changxi and fell on the mat.
Leng Changxi is like looking at a disobedient pet. He taps Qin yunuan's nose with his fingertips. "They say that you can have a good rest when you come back. What's the matter? I heard that you always asked Man'er to go out in the afternoon to inquire about the situation outside? You, you, can't spare a moment. "
Qin yunuan didn't deny it. She just rubbed against Leng Changxi's arms in a friendly way. She said proudly, "if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't know that general Meng in the barracks was really true. Sima Rui's move was really fascinating."
Speaking of this matter, I really should thank Qin yunuan. In the evening, Emperor Zhaoxuan knew that Qin yunuan sent someone to stop his secret edict. But when more detailed information came from the barracks, Emperor Zhaoxuan was also shocked. In addition, the "general Meng" rescued from the secret road was always confused. For a while, he could not tell which was true or which was false. He had to postpone the trial 。
Listening to Leng Changxi saying all the things that happened in the palace, Qin yunuan was already a little tired. He fell on Leng Changxi's knee. Unconsciously, he was half asleep and half awake. He felt that Leng Changxi bent over her forehead and pecked at her gently. Then he laid her flat and covered her with a mattress, and slept with her.I don't know how long I slept. Qin yunuan was woken up by a noise. When he got up, Leng Changxi was gone. Hearing snow outside and man Er hearing Qin yunuan getting up, they immediately brought hot water and face washing pancreas in.
"What's so noisy outside?" Qin Yu rubs some sore temples. It doesn't sound like the movement in the mansion. Ning Wang's mansion has always been clean, and there is seldom such a bustle.
Man'er and listen to snow look at each other, no one talks.
Qin yunuan glanced at the two little maids, holding the spoon between his fingers and scooping the almond soup, which was still so leisurely. He only moved his eyes to Xi'er who had not spoken all the time: "Xi'er, you say."
Xi'er is usually cheerful and courageous, but today she is very cautious. She nods knowingly and says, "three little grandmothers, outside, outside is Jin and Princess getting married."
"Jin and the princess? Married? " Qin yunuan was very surprised. She had never heard that there was such a princess in Daqi, let alone that there was a big marriage in Daqi recently.
"Yes," Xi'er continued, "after the death of the four girls, the emperor intended to send Princess Zhaojing to Xixia for peace, but it didn't come to an end. Now Princess Zhaojing is under house arrest in Princess Jing's mansion, which is equivalent to being dismissed. The princess Jin and princess, it's said, were also conferred at that time, so they just gave Xixia an account."
In Daqi, in such a harsh Dynasty, women were just commodities for trading. At the same time, men will instill such ideas into you that you can be used, at least to show that you have value.
"Which girl is it?" Qin yunuan asked in detail.
"It's Shangguan girl, Shangguan Yi."
Qin yunuan was a little surprised: "how could it be her? Now the situation of Xixia and Daqi is uncertain, and the future is uncertain when they go. Can't shangguanyuan and shangguanlao stop them? "
It's ironic that one is the left face of the great Qi Dynasty and the other is the leader of the academic circle of the great Qi Dynasty. Even a weak woman in the family can't protect her well.
"But what if she did it of her own free will?" Outside the door, there was a soft and gentle voice like a oriole, which the men would like to hear. But the charming voice in Qin yunuan's ears was just a kind of disgust that was hard to swallow.
It's not other people who enter the door. It's aunt Tang, who has been asked by King Ning to think about things in the room.
In the face of aunt Tang, who never took the initiative to set foot in the courtyard, Qin yunuan naturally would not give a good face. There are too many relations between them.
"Xi'er, Man'er, do you want to see those servant girls in the porter do nothing?" Qin yunuan didn't even look at Tang Shi. "Now I'm getting more tired and lazy. Everyone put it in the yard."
Aunt Tang's face stiffened. Looking at Qin yunuan, she actually dismissed the servant girl, and immediately flattered: "I mean, three young grannies are not so mean. They shut out a loyal reporter."
Qin yunuan glances at Aunt Tang. Since the death of Princess Ning, the Tang family seems to see Qin yunuan as a place where wealth will rise and fortune will rise. He runs more and more diligently day by day.
"Loyal?" Qin yunuan leisurely pulled his sleeve and moved to the embroidery stand. He used to lead the needle with his hand. Only when Aunt Tang was in the air, "I never saw that Aunt Tang still has loyalty to me."
"That's now," Auntie Tang said, looking forward. "I really have important news to tell three young grannies about you."
"I already know about shangguanyi's being conferred the title of Jin and the princess."
Tang then said with a smile, "but Grandma sanshao must not know why the Shangguan girl asked to go to Xixia to make peace."
Qin yunuan looks at Aunt Tang and doesn't speak.
"Hum, I only heard that the big servant girl who was recently selected to accompany the Shangguan girl actually came out of the palace. When the servant girl was working in the palace, she and the eunuch named Du Sheng beside the third prince Sima Rui were opposite food."
Qin yunuan's eyes are slightly selective, but it's actually related to Sima Rui. It hasn't been revealed yet. Tang family pretends to whisper in Qin yunuan's ear: "there's another thing, since sister sun died, the sun family lacks a strong arm in Beijing. I listen to those old mothers in the house, they seem to want to find another legitimate daughter with outstanding sense in the family to marry, Now, the plea for the emperor's marriage has been handed over, waiting for the emperor to approve it. "
