Qingfeng sends the people around her to have a rest. She stands alone in the dark courtyard, holding her arms tightly, and thinking about the impact of the princess's suicide on the palace. What will the Empress Dowager and Yan Hongtian do? What will the situation be like for their sisters? The more she thinks about it, the more frightened Qingfeng is. At the end of summer, the air is so stuffy that she can't breathe.
Hall door light ring, green maple looked up, Poria cocos thin figure quickly flash into the hall, the door closed gently. Green maple trot to meet up, urgent way: "how about the princess?"
The voice behind suddenly startled Poria cocos. Under the night, I couldn't see the look of Qingfeng clearly, but the low voice and anxious tone had already explained that during the time when she went out to inquire, Qingfeng's heart must be suffering. Poria cocos lowered her voice and said the information she had inquired: "master, don't worry. After the imperial doctors' full treatment, the princess is no longer in danger."
Is that all? Poria cocos is cautious and delicate. How can they only inquire about these? Knowing that she was waiting anxiously, if only these news, how could she come back at such a time? Green maple heart suddenly a jump, ask a way: "is still what happened?"
She's just getting better. I wanted to let her have a good rest tonight. I'll talk to her in detail tomorrow. She's so sharp. It seems that she can't hide it. Poria cocos sighed: "it's late at night. Let's talk inside."
Two people entered inner room, green maple immediately drags the hand of Poria cocos, urgent way: "in the end what happened, you say quickly."
Qingfeng's slender fingers were a little cold. Fuling helped her to sit down on the soft collapse in front of the bed and said, "after the imperial doctor confirmed that the princess was not in danger, the Empress Dowager and the emperor called the building into the palace."
At this time, calling the building into the palace? Green maple face a dark, cold voice hum to: "they want to force marriage?"
Qingfeng took her hand unconsciously tightened, Poria cocos micro low head, silent did not answer, light pull up next to the thin cover Qingfeng feet.
Taking a deep breath, Qingfeng asked: "the beauty of the building "Yes?"
Facing Qingfeng's anxious and calm eyes, Fuling shook her head and said, "I only heard that the princess will go to the prime minister's residence tomorrow to have a rest."
"Near the water?" Green maple light hiss, the whole body sends out the gloomy breath, let Poria cocos eyebrow light Cu, can't help but low voice advise a way: "Lord son, some things, urgent also anxious don't come."
It's no use being in a hurry. Qingfeng self mocking smile, since knowing that the sisters are still alive, she is just like the frightened bird, a little wind and grass, will let her tremble, after death once, she does not care about her life, but especially cherish the lives of the sisters, they can still live, is God to give her a chance. Knowing that the urgency is useless, Qingfeng still can't restrain the irritability in his heart. The light fish belly white light has appeared in the sky outside the window. Qingfeng said wearily: "it's almost dawn, you go to have a rest."
"Yes." It's no use saying more, Poria cocos quietly retreated.
The door closed gently, the inner room only heard her shallow breathing sound, Qingfeng felt a chill hit, pulled up the thin quilt to wrap himself tightly, eyes unconsciously stay in the handle black umbrella, for a long time can not move the line of sight.
The imperial study
after the early Dynasty, Yan Hongtian came to the imperial study. The two eunuchs put the memorials of the ministers in the early Dynasty and the memorials from various places on the table according to the degree of urgency. Xiao Yu, the former imperial female official, presented his favorite spring tea. Everything seemed to be the same as usual, but the people who had been waiting for the emperor for many years still saw the difference. The emperor has always been diligent. When he comes to the imperial library, he immediately begins to read the memorials. But today he has the leisure to taste tea slowly?
Xiao Yu asked to look to the side of Gao Jin, Gao Jin gently shook his head. Xiao Yu curls her lips and sends her maid to fetch some tea. She retreats to Gao Jin's side in silence. She surmises that the emperor is waiting for someone with such a look. Sure enough, after a while, the tall figure of Lou Xiang appeared outside the imperial study.
Xiao Yu's face is full of satisfaction, she guessed right! But What's wrong with the look of the building?
Gao Jin coughed softly, and whispered beside Yan Hongtian, "the emperor, I'm looking for you."
Mouth slightly Yang, Yan Hongtian light sipped a hot tea, head also don't lift, not slow back: "Xuan."
Lou Xiyan walked into the hall, Yan Hongtian said with a light smile: "things at home, so soon to deal with?" This morning, the mother personally sent Xuaner to the prime minister's house. The process must be wonderful, otherwise Xiyan would not look like this.
Lou Xiyan and Feng's eyes flickered slightly and did not reply, but the smile that hung on the corner of her mouth all the year round faded away.
Really angry? Yan Hongtian put down his tea cup and said in a loud voice, "let's all step back."
"Yes." In the blink of an eye, only they looked at each other coldly in the imperial study. For a long time, Lou Xiyan said in a low voice, "if the emperor does this, it will only be the princess who will be hurt."
Is he here to make a case? Yan Hongtian's face was dim, and he said in a deep voice, "what do you want me to do? The blessing ceremony is about to begin, and the envoys from all countries are arriving one after another. You don't think there are enough things, but you should propose to marry Qingling or zhengwife at this time! You and xuan'er's marriage has been tacitly understood for so many years. Xuan'er has long recognized you. Now she's going to commit suicide. How can the Empress Dowager give up? ""Again..." Lou Xiyan was silent all the time. Yan Hongtian's words changed, hummed and said with a smile: "Qingling was originally from me. You got it first. Is it so easy for a beauty to get it? Of course, you have to solve the problem yourself. Do you want me to clean up the mess for you? " Yan Hongtian has a happy feeling in his heart. Over the years, Xiyan's face is always the expression that everything is under control. If a Qingling can make him change his face, it's right to send Haoyue to the wrong person!
Slowly line of a monarch and Minister of the ceremony, Lou Xiyan clear smile, back: "in this case, I will deal with alone, do not bother the emperor to trouble."
Damn it, it was that kind of determined smile again. Yan Hongtian felt a little depressed and worried. He sighed in a low voice: "xuan'er is my own sister after all. You can do it yourself."
He didn't mean to let him handle it, but 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." There is also the mind to care about so many love affairs.
Lou Xiyan is funny. Is it anger?
"The emperor, only mentions the punishment to ask to see, said that has the important matter to report." Fortunately at this time, Gao Jin's announcement outside the door broke the secret contest in this room.
Yan Hongtian stares at Lou Xiyan, takes back his sight and says: "Xuan."
Shan Yulan strode into the hall, saluted: "see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Just now, the emperor and Lou Xiang didn't know what they were talking about. They held back, which made her arrange tea and snacks, but she didn't know whether to send them in. Taking advantage of the presence of Mr. Shan, Xiao Yu quickly brought the tea to the table and quickly withdrew. She has no interest in the things in the court. She doesn't want to hear a word about the things she shouldn't listen to.
"Flat." Shan Yulan is in a hurry, and his eyebrows are faintly excited. What makes the Tixing division of Qiongyue so excited? He takes up the newly brewed hot tea. Yan Hongtian says with a smile: "what's the important news for Shan Qing's family?"
Well, the temperature of the 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 the sleeve. Gao Jin came forward and took it. It was a ingot of gold.
Gao Jin turns around and presents it to the emperor. After Yan Hongtian takes a look at the golden spindle, his face suddenly darkens. He changes his relaxed and lazy appearance just now and says solemnly: "go on."
"I suspect that the gold theft three years ago was not just a case of a little bodyguard colluding with a mountain bandit to steal Treasury silver. At that time, there might have been a secret injustice case. I sincerely asked the emperor to allow me to retrial the golden case. "
He put the gold back on the table and motioned Gao Jin to present it to Lou Xiyan. Yan Hongtian lifted the cup again and looked as usual: "the gold case in those years was tried by the Ministry of criminal justice, and the Ministry of military affairs assisted in the supervision. The retrial of this case involves a lot. How can Shan Qing's family be sure of the so-called secret injustice case? Where is gold now? "
Shan Yulan looks up slightly and looks at the emperor who is drinking tea. For a moment, he can't guess the meaning of the emperor's words. Then he looks at the floor beside him. He just stares at the golden spindle. He doesn't know what he's thinking. Shan Yulan thinks for a while and truthfully replies: "I found some stolen gold in the underground river, which shows that it was the most important link in the gold case The saying that the bodyguard colluded with the mountain bandits to protect them from transporting gold from another export is obviously not in accordance with the facts. This is already an unjust case. Who is the mastermind of the bodyguard and where the gold finally went must be thoroughly investigated in order to have the final result. "
"Well, you go back and draw up a memorial for the retrial of the gold case. Tell us the details and submit it for further discussion."
"Yes, sir I'm leaving. " Shan Yulan hesitates. At that time, the gold case shocked the government and the public, and it was also about the Treasury deposit. Now it's hard to get new news. Why is the emperor's attitude so be perfunctory? Although he was puzzled, Shan Yulan didn't dare to delay and left
Lou Xiyan gently rubs the four inscriptions on the back of fifty taels of gold - Treasury official silver, which is the stolen gold. Today, when he left, qingmo happened to go to the prime minister's residence to find ling'er. Shan Yulan happened to find fifty taels of gold left in the cave. They must have contributed to this. He thought ling'er was different enough. Recently, it seems that the little girl named qingmo is not simple. I don't know if Qingfeng in the palace is also extraordinary.
Lou Xiyan was playing with the gold spindle in her hand. Suddenly she looked up at him with a trace of teasing in her eyes. Yan Hongtian was puzzled by him and asked, "what do you think of the retrial of the gold case?"
Lou Xiyan lowered her head slightly, covered the smile of the corner of her mouth, pondered for a moment, then shook her head and sighed: "I think the time is not right."
