Chapter 75 Crossing the Sea
Even if the cold frost is no longer puzzled, Qin Yunuan can't explain it to her in a short time. If it's too 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 patriarchalty.
"Go in." Leng Wu looked at Sima Rui coldly and looked expressionless.
"Your injury? It's good fast." Sima Rui looked at Leng Wu's injured arm provocatively. Leng Wu did not say anything. Suddenly, a cool smile appeared on the corners of Sima Rui's mouth. He looked up and opened the three lights and shadows from outside the cage window, and suddenly said, "It's a pity. In half an hour, Daqi will break a good soldier again. ."
In the evening, Qin Yunuan had returned to the yard. For safety reasons, Leng Changxi was not allowed to leave the yard again. He also sent Leng Shuang and the two most careful people in the 18 Shadow Guard to guard them. The news Qin Yu Nuan received was collected everywhere.
"How about it?" Qin Yunuan looked at Man'er, who hurried back from outside, and pulled her sleeve and asked.
Man'er said breathlessly, "When Miss Leng rushed to the barracks, the emperor's people had arrived. At that time, they were deadlocked and almost started to work. Fortunately, one of the public kilometers who went to announce the decree knew Leng girl. After listening to Miss Leng's words, he only said that he would invite the emperor back."
"It's good to come back." Qin Yunuan's heart was put down.
Man'er was puzzled, "Grandma, how do you know that the general Meng in the barracks is really fake? It's hard to tell whether these two generals Meng are true or false. If they make a mistake..."
"I was not sure at first," Qin Yunuan frowned. "In fact, for most people, as soon as they see the person imprisoned in the secret channel who looks exactly like General Meng, they will naturally think that the one outside is fake, but who knows, Sima Rui is cunning and treacherous. He just took advantage of people's psychology, I guess At that time, he probably 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 this news, he would definitely order the secret killing of General Meng in the barracks as soon as possible. Ask the noble concubine Yun and the eldest prince.
"The third prince is really cunning." Man'er sighed.
"No, he is not cunning. He is smart and even a little too smart," Qin Yunuan sighed. "I have to admit that this is indeed the best of both worlds. In this way, he can not only get rid of the family of the first general of Daqi, but also remove a powerful arm of Yun Guifei and the eldest prince, if he can If you succeed, you can also take the opportunity to lock yourself in the secret room and give it to Fu Zheng, and take the opportunity to control the military power of the court.
"But," Man'er frowned, "but the third prince has not been..." Man'er wanted to say that Sima Rui's whereabouts had been revealed, and the emperor could no longer trust Sima Rui in his life.
"I know what you want to ask," Qin Yunuan sighed leisurely. "Sima Rui played secretly with the emperor before. I think he is going to play clearly this time. Believe it or not, something will definitely happen halfway in the carriage that escorted the third prince to the imperial mausoleum."
"Is there someone who wants to harm him?" Man'er asked.
Qin Yunuan shook his head: "No, he wants to save himself." Looking at Man'er's immediate desire to speak and stop, Qin Yunuan just picked up the scissors on the table and cut the candle core a little shorter, making the candlelight brighter. "We can't stop it. It seems that this change in the palace is not an end, but another beginning."
In the evening, when Leng Changxi came back, he was already very tired. Qin Yunuan carefully brought foot washing water for Leng Changxi, screened back all the maids and maids, and prepared to wash Leng Changxi in person. Unexpectedly, the white fingers like spring onions touched the hot foot washing water and were suddenly dragged by Leng Changxi. Come up.
In consternation, Qin Yunuan was already held in his arms by Leng Changxi and fell on the mattress.
Leng Changxi seemed to be looking at a disobedient pet and gently tapped the tip of Qin Yunuan's nose with his fingertips, "It's said that letting you come back is for you to have a good rest. What's wrong? I heard that you have been asking Maner to go out to inquire about the situation outside in the afternoon? You, you really can't be idle for a moment."
Qin Yunuan did not deny it. She just rubbed into Leng Changxi's arms as a sign of goodwill and said proudly, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know that General Meng in the barracks was actually true. Sima Rui's move to hide people's ears and eyes was really distracting."
Speaking of this matter, we should indeed thank Qin Yunuan. Emperor Zhaoxuan was quite angry to know that Qin Yunuan sent someone to stop his secret edict in the evening. But when more detailed news came from the barracks, it also cheered Emperor Zhaoxuan. In addition, the "General Meng" rescued from the secret passage had been confused and could not distinguish it for a moment. Don't let which one is true and which one is false, we can only postpone the trial.
After listening to Leng Changxi say everything that happened in the palace, Qin Yunuan was already a little tired. She lay on Leng Changxi's knee and unconsciously turned out to be half asleep and half awake. In a daze, she only felt Leng Changxi leaning over her forehead and pecked a gentle kiss, and then flattened her with the mattress. Zi, sleep with her clothes.
I don't know how long she slept. Qin Yunuan was woke up by a noise. When she got up, Leng Changxi was gone. Hearing the sound of Qin Yunuan getting up, she immediately brought hot water and pancreas to wash her face.
"What's so noisy outside?" Qin Yunuan rubbed her sore temples. It didn't sound like the movement in the house. Ningwang Mansion has always been clean and rarely so lively.
Man'er and Tingxue looked at each other and said nothing.
Qin Yunuan glanced at the two little maids, and the action of scooping the almond soup with a spoon between her fingers was still so leisurely. She only moved her eyes to Xi'er, who had never spoken: "Xi'er, say it."
Although Xi'er is usually cheerful and bold, she seems to be particularly cautious today. She nodded and said, "Grandma, outside, it's Jin and Princess Jin are getting married outside."
Princess Jinhe? Marry?" Qin Yunuan was very surprised. She had never heard that Daqi had such a princess, let alone heard of Daqi's recent big marriage.
"Yes," Xi'er continued, "After the death of the four girls, the emperor intended to send Princess Zhaojing to Xixia to make peace, but it failed. Now Princess Zhaojing is under house arrest, which is equivalent to being disiled. This Princess Jinhe was also temporarily canonized, just for Xixia gave an explanation.
Temporarily canonize the princess and temporarily push on the sedan chair. In Daqi, in this dynasty where men and women are so strict, women are indeed only used to trade goods. At the same time, men will also instill such an idea in you. You can be used, at least it shows that you are valuable.
"Which girl is it?" Qin Yunuan asked in detail.
"It's Shangguan's daughter, Shangguanyi."
Qin Yu was slightly shocked: "How could it be her? Now the situation between Xixia and Daqi is uncertain, and the future is uncertain. Can't Shangguan Yuan and Mr. Shangguan stop it?
How ironic it is that one is the left prime minister of Daqi, and the other is the leading fighter of Daqi academia. Even a weak woman in the family can't be well protected.
"But what if she volunteered?" Outside the door, there was a eoll-like soft voice. Men would like it when they heard it, but such a charming voice was just a kind of nausea that was difficult to swallow in Qin Yunuan's ears.
It was not someone else who entered the door, but Aunt Tang, who had been provocative and was ordered by Ning Wang to think about it in the room.
In the face of Aunt Tang, who has never taken the initiative to set foot in the yard of Qin Yunuan, Qin Yunuan will naturally not give any good face. There are too many relationship between the two.
"Xi'er, Man'er, have you gone to see the maids in the doorman?" Qin Yunuan didn't even look at Tang, "Now I'm really more and more tired. Everyone is put in the yard."
Aunt Tang's face stiffened. Seeing that Qin Yunuan actually dismissed the maid, her face immediately flattered her: "I mean, the third young lady will not be so stingy and turn away a loyal person."
Qin Yunuan glanced at Aunt Tang. Since the death of Princess Ning, the Tang family seems to have seen that Qin Yunuan is a place where she will make money and fortune, and she has been running more and more diligent day by day.
"Loyal?" Qin Yunuan leisurely rolled her cuffs and moved to the embroidery rack, holding needles and threads, just as Aunt Tang was air. "I never saw that Aunt Tang, you are still loyal to me."
"That's now," Aunt Tang leaned forward. "I really have important news to tell you."
"If it is said that Shangguanyi was canonized as Princess Jin, I already know."
Tang then laughed and said, "But the third young lady must not know why this Shangguan girl took the initiative to ask to go to Xixia for marriage."
Qin Yunuan looked at Aunt Tang and didn't say anything.
"Well, I only heard that the newly selected big maid who was selected to accompany the Shangguan girl was actually from the palace, and when the maid was working in the palace, she and the eunuch named Du Sheng beside the third prince Sima Rui were eating."
Qin Yu's eyes were slightly raised, and it was actually related to Sima Rui. This matter has not been revealed. The Tang family pretended to be mysteriously and whispered in Qin Yunuan's ear, "There is another thing. Since the death of Sister Sun, the Sun family has lacked a strong arm in Beijing. I listened to the old sisters in the house say that the Sun family seems to be interested in it again. The clan found a sensible and excellent direct daughter to marry. Now, the folds requested by the emperor for marriage have been handed over, waiting for the emperor's approval.
