Chapter 160

Du Furi motioned Xi Yan to remove the pen and ink. He put down the wide sleeves of the summer shirt rolled up when writing the letter, and then smiled faintly: "Mrs. Xue personally pointed out the foundation laid by your master. Now as long as you practice more, Qiu Kan is unimpeded, and you can rest assured." This is a refusal.

This refusal was expected by Yuan Xiu. Even if she did not deliberately inquire about the previous dynasty, she heard Pei Si Niang mention Du San and Wang Quan on Guanlan upstairs last time. She grew up in the palace and also noticed Feng Chun's next plan. Du Qingtang is a figure who once called for rain. No matter how pure and gentle his nephew looks, after all, he is not a fool. Of course, he will choose to wait and see without figuring out the purpose behind his invitation.

However, Yuan Xiu made this request, but he didn't think much about it. He couldn't help mentioning it when he saw his calligraphy.

There was a moment of silence in the hall. Yuanxiu thought for a moment and ignored the blue and green that he kept staring at him. He said, "I have no other intention. Tomorrow, the seventh sister of this palace will fall. After that, the Japanese palace wants to continue to practice on the original. If Shilang is willing to give me some advice, please go with me."

Du Furi smiled without any doubt. Yuan Xiu's goal had been achieved and turned around to leave. In the soft clothes in summer, Du Furi was slightly stunned by the green mark on her wrist, and then she immediately thought about it.

The carriage came out of Jing'anfang and arrived near Changxingfang. Yu Wenrong, who was driving the car, stopped slightly. Then the curtain was lifted and a person came in. Cai Lan and Cai Lu frowned at the same time. It was rare for Yan Jiuhuai not to smile, but directly picked up the empty space of the car and sat down. He frowned and asked, "Princess, have you just gone to the Duke of the State of Ying?"

"Not bad." Yuanxiu looked at him alertly and secretly regretted that he only reminded Qiu Fengxiang to strengthen the vigilance in the palace. He did not bring a few more martial arts guards when he came out this time.

But he heard Yan Jiuhuai's impatient urging: "What about what the princess promised me?"

"Isn't it for Xiaolangjun's entrustment to go to Jing'anfang?" Yuan Xiu said lightly. Seeing that his face was delicate and his heart was shocked, he couldn't help saying, "Is there something wrong with Meng Poye?"

"Not yet." Yan Jiuhuai's face was a little gloomy, "His leg was broken, and he was tortured again yesterday. I don't know what will happen today. Isn't the princess too slow to do things? If Meng Da is disabled because of this..." Hearing the threat in his words, Yuan Xiu frowned and said, "This palace is a good princess, but aren't the imperial concubine, Princess Changyang and the king of Qi relatives?"

Yan Jiuhuai glanced at her: "Are you afraid of offending them?" He sneered, "Today is your brother! Is it possible that in the eyes of your brother, a concubine mother plus a concubine brother and sister are more intimate than your own sister? Then what your sister has done is too pitiful!"

Yuan Xiu ignored his ridiculism and said calmly, "Yan Xiaolangjun is very good at it. Since he can sneak into the big prison of Jingzhao Mansion to visit Meng Da, why can't he simply take him away from prison?"

"It's easy for me to take him away, but if so, wouldn't Princess Yang have more reason to push things to the mysterious pavilion?" Yan Jiuhuai snorted, and Yuan Xiu glanced at him: "Of course, the mother and son of Yang are not afraid, but if the fifth brother does this, is there any reason not to be different in the clan?"

Yan Jiuhuai did not believe: "The man was killed by Ren Qiu. There is no doubt about this matter, and the evidence is conclusive. In the past, before Emperor Wu of Han killed the son of Princess Yangshi, he still received a lot of money from Princess Yangshi and allowed her to buy her life for her son. Is it because he is unwilling to protect the real murderer now, the clan has to be centrifugal? What a joke!"

The heart knot between Fengchun and King Qiong and the complexity involved are beyond the understanding of such a flying killer as Yan Jiuhuai. Yuan Xiu did not intend to tell him, but said, "Tomorrow is the decline of the seventh sister of the palace. Do you think this palace will allow Chang'an to spread rumors of princesses dismantling each other. ?"

Her tone was firm. Yan Jiuhuai thought for a moment and asked dissatisfiedly, "So what is the result of the princess's visit to Jing'anfang?"

"Du Shilang and Zhang Xian, the son of Zhang Mingzhu, the uncle of Meng Guangyi's wife, and Zhang Mingzhu, have written a letter in front of the palace, asking Zhang Xian to persuade his father Zhang Mingzhu to mediate and let Meng Guangyi intervene in this matter, so as not to expose the interference of the palace." Yuan Xiu probably said what had happened. She was keenly aware that Yan Jiuhuai seemed to be secretly relieved when she heard Du Furi. She seemed to be sure that there would be no danger if this person took action from Meng Poye, and she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Yan Jiuhuai was skillful in martial arts and had extremely keen five senses. Seeing this, he immediately covered up: "How shrewd Meng Guangyi is? How could he not know that Princess Yang bought Jingzhao Mansion and forced Meng Da to confess? What's more, Zhang Mingzhu's temperament is more stubborn than him. The princess is sure that Meng Da can live to that time?

"Meng Poye can live until Yan Xiaolangjun sees him, which has shown that although Meng Guangyi has condoned Concubine Yang to force people to confess, he still left his life. Otherwise, I'm afraid that before Yan Xiaolang Jun touches the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, Meng Poye over there has been suspended and left a handwritten fingerprint, confessing that everything is the place of the mysterious pavilion. Ren Qiu was just wronged. Yuan Xiu sneered, and there was no joke in his tone, "Yan Xiaolangjun is cunning and intelligent, but in the end, he grew up in the market. Do you have to be alive? Sometimes dead people are more reliable!"

A trace of anger flashed in Yan Jiu's eyes and said with a grin, "If the imperial concubine really does this, even if she hides in the deep palace, I will send her and her children to Huangquan to plead guilty!"

"I thought that Yan Xiaolangjun would ask Meng Guangyi why she condoned Princess Yang to do this." Yuanxiu felt the undisguised murder on his body, and his eyes drooped slightly and said with a faint smile.

Yan Jiuhuai slightly cleaned up her mood, glanced at her, and said slightly: "Meng Yin wants to know who the person he bumped into that day, and he doesn't want to lose a reputation for the news of torture, so he just relies on the help of Princess Yang."

"Meng Guangyi, as Jing Zhaoyin, is responsible for the trial of the case. What's more, the case was specially handed over to him today. Since Meng Poye is suspected, it is common sense for him to interrogate him. How can he fall into the name of happy torture? Moreover, with his reputation in Chang'an now, even if torture is really spread, the people will only suspect that the person he was tortured is extremely vicious, instead of thinking that he has turned to tyrannical sex. Son." Yuan Xiuyou said, "But Yan Xiaolangjun's first sentence was right. Meng Yin wanted to know who the person he bumped into that day was, and he expected that that person's identity must be unusual!"

Yan Jiuhuai frowned.

Yuan Xiu turned his head and looked at him with a smile: "But I don't know if Yan Xiaolangjun can tell me who is behind the mysterious pavilion? The people who came out of the secret road that day don't know, and the people in the Mystery Pavilion should know, right? Meng Guangyi himself did not torture Meng Poye. He pretended not to know and let his men take the benefits of Empress Yang to force a confession in private. It's nothing more than to borrow the power of the Empress Dowager to deal with that man. Yan Xiaolangjun, do you think it's right or not?

"..." Yan Jiuhuai frowned and suddenly left a sentence, "Three days later, if Meng Poye is still going to be tortured, I will kill Princess Changyang first!" While talking, he gently picked up the driving curtain, floated away, and quickly disappeared among the pedestrians outside the car.

Cai Lan's face is a little pale: "This man is too dangerous!"

Picking green is also lingering with palpitations. He held the veil in his hand and said, "A family should not leave the Ming Palace at will these days."

"It doesn't matter. He is not so stupid. I have no hatred with him, and no one is looking for him to buy my life. Killing me is harmful to him. He won't do such a thing." Yuanxiu said lazily, "However, what Princess Yang and the third brother and seventh sister have done, asked me to be coerced. This tone is really a little difficult to swallow..." She narrowed her eyes, pulled up her sleeves in front of the two, looked at the green marks on her wrists that have not faded so far, and her face was very ugly!

Picking green shows heartache: "Why doesn't the family want to put on the ointment?" Of course, the scars on Yuanxiu's wrist can't be concealed from their two close confidants. Because of her practice of riding and shooting in recent months, many drugs have been prepared in the Pearl Hall to eliminate bruises and swelling, but Yuanxiu just refused to apply them. Her skin was already snow-white, and such a blue mark completely subsided in a day or two.

Yuan Xiu closed his eyes and did not answer.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk any more, the two looked at each other and were silent.

Returning to the Pearl Hall, Cai Zi greeted him with a smile on the corners of his mouth and said, "The A family is just back - the aunt is awake now. Is the A family going to talk to the aunt?"

Yuanxiu was a little surprised: "Geng Jingzhai changed the medicine? Is the aunt still uncomfortable now?

"The medicine is still the one opened last time. The aunt refused to drink it in the afternoon, saying that she had a headache after sleeping all day." Cai Zi smiled and said, "Caicheng made ice cheese for the aunt and added an ice basin. The aunt is still more energetic now."

The fear of summer varies from person to person. Under normal circumstances, it is just weak and diseased and unintentional to eat, but Xue's is a little more serious than ordinary people's fear of summer. Even if there is an ice basin in summer, it is always uncomfortable, so he has to sleep with a soup with calming medicine. However, it is always impossible to fall asleep like this. Yuan Xiu went to her room. Go, secretly think about whether to privately ask Fengchun to let Xue live in another courtyard on the nearby mountain for a period of time?

Before Xue entered the palace, she also lived in other courtyards in the mountains outside Chang'an City in summer. Guo had several separate courtyards in Zhongnan Mountain, 50 miles away from the south of the city. After the Guo clan was gone, most of them were confiscated, but several of them remained unmoved - it was the Empress Dowager Wenhua who married Emperor Xianzong, who was still the crown prince, as the crown princess. The dowry of Shi, these were handed over to Xue's custody on the deathbed by the Empress Dowager Wenhua as Yuanxiu's future dowry.

Yuanshan's other courtyard Yuanxiu has not been there, just because in the former summer Emperor Xianzong would take the six palaces to the Huaqing Palace to escape the summer. If it weren't for this year, Xue's fear of summer was so serious. As a princess, she also had the property left by two empress dowageries. There are too many industries, which is really I can't remember.

As soon as I got to Xue's room, I felt that it was obviously much colder than outside. Yuan Xiu looked around, but saw that there were six ice basins in the room that was not too big. Even so, Xue Shi sitting on the couch was still melanguiled. When he saw Yuan Xiu coming in, he quickly told him: "Go and pick up a robe for Jiu Niang. It's cold inside. Don't freeze her."

Cai Lan answered and went out. Yuan Xiu went to her and knelt down. Seeing that there was only half a bowl of ice cheese left, he said, "Madam, I just remembered that my mother seems to have another courtyard in Zhongnan Mountain?"

Xue didn't expect that she would suddenly mention Wenhua. He was stunned and said, "Yes, why did you mention this?"

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go alone if the Lishan Palace is not under the holy drive, and it's far away. I see that Zhongnan Mountain is much closer, and the courtyard is not as complicated as the palace. It's also cool on the mountain. It's better for people to clean it. Let's live for a while to avoid the aunt continue to feel uncomfortable."

Yuan Xiu said so and realized that she was thinking for herself and was moved, but after thinking about it, she shook her head: "This is not good. Now it is not as stable as the prosperous times. Chang'an City, even if it is in the land of Gyeonggi, it may not be peaceful. Not to mention the deep mountains and dense forests, unlike the palace and palace walls can be relied on, and the surroundings are also The forbidden army has been stationed..."

She looked sad - Mrs. Xue was not a delicate girl who had been raised in the boudoir. At the beginning of the year, she went back to Jinyang for Yuanxiu's fief. What she saw along the way was to tell Yuanxiu... Now Mengtang still has the scene of chastity and Kaiyuan, I'm afraid there are only places such as Chang'an, Luoyang and Quanzhou. , slightly remote, all of which are poor and sick, but people who grow up at the feet of the emperor can't see it. They still think that the world is prosperous as usual...

"The aunt doesn't know that now Ren Qiu's case has made Chang'an an uproar. Besides, July is my day, and I haven't lived on the mountain for a long time. If the aunt is worried, I will ask my fifth brother to send some more guards." Seeing that she disagreed, Yuan Xiu came up with an excuse in the blink of an eye. Xue was unconscious for a few days and was a little confused about what had happened recently. He was energetic when he heard the words and asked one by one.
