Chapter 19
The marquis' mansion was in chaos, and the officers and soldiers had no respect on their faces. Instead, they ran towards a place with a faint evil spirit. Yu Xiang followed everyone. As soon as he walked around a pavilion, he saw a dragon scale guard holding an inconspicuous box and shouting loudly, "The criminal Yu Pinyan colluded with the Westerners to usurp the throne. Now the evidence is conclusive! Come on, arrest everyone!"
Colluding with the Westerners to plot against the throne? Wait, what's going on? My brother was clearly shot into the river by the Westerners and his life and death, so why did he become a criminal? Where did you find evidence? What's wrong with the crime?
Yu Xiang rushed up and wanted to grab the wooden box. When his finger touched the Dragon Scale Guard, everything in front of him instantly turned into smoke and dissipated in the air. The smoke floated, dispersed and gathered, and condensed into another mansion, but it was the magnificent prince's mansion.
The mansion was also in chaos, and many Dragon Scale Guards surrounded the Prince's study room. After a while, the Prince walked out with a tragic look on his face. Two Dragon Scale Guards pressed against his back with swords and halberds. Then another person came out, but Ao Ping, the deputy chief of Dragon Scale Guard, and his brother's most capable subordinate. He held a dragon robe and announced loudly, "The Prince made a dragon robe privately, intending to rebel, and immediately put it in the Heavenly Prison for trial!"
A group of dragon scale guards swarmed up and took everyone in the mansion away.
Yu Xiang stood there and looked at all this in a daze, feeling that his hands and feet were cold and his soul was broken. She tried her best to tell herself that it was just a dream, but fear spread in her heart circles until she was swallowed up.
"Huh..." Yu Xiang woke up from his throat and struggled to wake up from his dream, awakening Taohong and Liu Lu.
"What's wrong with the lady? But I'm having a nightmare again?" The two of them seemed to be facing a great enemy.
"I dreamed that the Marquis' Mansion was raided. The charge was for colluding with the Western Yi to plot against the usurpation of the throne. The prince's mansion actually hid a dragon robe. Many Dragon Scale Guards arrested people in large numbers, and they were afraid that even cats and dogs would not let go."
Before she could finish her words, Liu Lu covered her mouth and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what should we do? Turn around and go back?"
"No, I can't go back!" Yu Xiang pulled her palm away and refused without hesitation. Her brother was waiting for her not far away. She must not ignore her brother's life and death.
"What should I do with the Marquis' Mansion and the Prince's Mansion? Let the officers and soldiers come and procure them?" Liu Lu asked with a white face. Taohong was already scared and shivered with the quilt. In just one and a half months, she felt that the sky had collapsed.
"Write a letter, and then buy a fast horse for the monk to send it back together in the night."
"It's okay for the Hou Mansion. When you say that the old lady is sure to believe it, what should I do? You can't say that you have a dream, right? The Tian family is suspicious. Even if this matter is gone, it's hard to guarantee that you will not treat you as a monster!" Liu Lu said worriedly.
Taohong jumped out of bed and searched for the package, and was frustrated to find that they did not bring pens, ink, paper and inkstones. It was midnight and there was nowhere to buy it, so it was even worse to bother others.
A broom was placed in one corner of the room. Yu Xiang broke the branches on the broom, placed them on a candle and burned them into black charcoal. He tore his clothes and spread them on the table, and explained while writing, "I dreamed that I was a monster, and Master Kuhai dreamed that it was a warning from God. Don't forget that he was a great monk, and a casual Buddhist verse could lead countless people to kneel down. The matter was urgent, so I would use his name. When this matter happened, I would definitely kneel in front of the temple and ask him for forgiveness."
Yu Xiang had never thought of using obscure words to imply that the prince was more cautious, but she was slight, so the prince would probably not obey. Moreover, in her dream, she saw Ao Ping involved in this matter. Ao Ping was highly valued by the prince and Emperor Cheng Kang. If she did not reveal Ao Ping's true face, even if she avoided this disaster, the prince without any sense of defense would still follow his words. Therefore, there should be no ambiguity in the letter, and if you want to say it, you should make it clear and clear.
"You are planning to use the name of Master Kuhai? This is a good idea." Liu Luda breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Xiang wrote while burning branches. Two quarters of an hour later, he wrote three letters, rolled them into thin strips and hid them in the edge of the cliff. Because the prince's mansion was full of people, she was afraid that the letter would be kidnapped halfway; and because the old lady had stopped all contact with her, she was afraid that the letter would be burned even if she could read it. She had to ask the monk to hand over all the three letters to Shen Yuanqi and asked him to hand them on his behalf.
She and Shen Yuanqi had already made up their words in the letter and would never reveal what she had dreamed about in front of the prince. With Shen Yuanqi helping him, the Marquis's Mansion should be able to escape this disaster.
Early in the morning, Yu Xiang asked Liu Lu to buy a quick horse and handed the package to the thinnest monk, asking him to take it back to the capital. He resolutely headed into the unseen broad water forest without hesitation.
--------------------------------
Since Ma Ma's advice, the old lady has been living in anxiety. She walked to the door with her cane several times, stood there for a while and then turned around. After all, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
On this day, two fast horses rushed into the capital, one of which went to the imperial city, and the other one who arrived in the capital one hour later went straight to Shen Mansion. Shen Yuanqi was on the verge of the water, and heard that the person coming was a monk from Zhenguo Temple, so he hurriedly invited him in.
The monk handed the package to Shen Yuanqi, touched the edge of the seam suggestively, and then said goodbye. Shen Yuanqi couldn't wait to disassemble the thread, took out three letters to read them one by one, and his expression changed from anxiety to disbelief, and then turned into fear.
Before he could come back to his senses, the housekeeper ran in quickly and told him the news that General Yu had died in Wujiang. It turned out that the fast horse in the first place was an urgent report from Xijiang, which brought this bad news.
The scene was exactly the same as what my sister described in her letter. At that time, my sister was in the capital and the matter had not happened yet. Can anyone in the world foresee the future? Or did God send a warning? Then we must believe that there is a dream about the Prince's Mansion and the Yongle Marquis Mansion being investigated.
Shen Yuanqi threw his letter into the brazier and burned it, and took the other two letters out. Because the matter was of great importance and could not be delayed, he went to the prince's mansion to ask for a meeting.
The prince had a close personal relationship with him. The two of them often gathered together, but they didn't get into each other. When Shen Yuanqi asked for a meeting, the prince had just returned from the palace and sat in the study. The prince got Shen Yuanqi's suggestion and sent all his servants away and asked in a low voice, "Are you here for Yi Feng? But Xiang'er was worried? Gu had asked his father to issue an imperial edict and ordered the troops in the western border to search and rescue Yi Feng with all their might. He is a powerful general who is invincible in a hundred battles and will not die at the hands of a mere Western barbarian."
Shen Yuanqi nodded silently, put his fingertips in his sleeves, rubbed the letter repeatedly, and finally said, "The humble position is indeed for the Dutong Yu, but it is not just for him. This matter is mysterious, so please take a look at it."
Yu Xiang detailed three dreams in the letter, and then pushed them all over the head of Master Kuhai, saying that he rushed to Western Xinjiang with the mentality of "it would rather believe that he has something than that he has nothing". On the way, he found that the dream came true. After repeated thinking, he decided to tell the prince truthfully, so that the prince would be more careful.
After reading it, the prince did not speak for a long time. Ao Ping led the Longlin Guard to pick up the prince's mansion; the prince's mansion was hidden privately; the evidence of the enemy and treason were found in Yi Feng's study. These things were simply too unbelievable, but they seemed so real.
Seeing that his expression became gloomy, Shen Yuanqi was about to comfort him, but saw him suddenly get up. He opened the secret door behind the bookcase regardless of the outsider's presence and searched for many private things.
The prince's breathing was very heavy, like a beast that was injured but had to run for the best. After a while, the heavy breathing came to an abrupt end, and the searching action suddenly stopped. He slowly turned around, holding a brocade box in his hand, the lid was opened, and there was a dazzling golden light flashing inside, which was the bright yellow color of the dragon robe.
Shen Yuanqi was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Okay, Yi Feng was in Shi Gu's mansion and couldn't even enter a fly. As soon as Yi Feng left, he even had such a deadly thing into Gu's study. The person behind this is indeed powerful!" The prince sneered, and murderous aura faintly floated in his dark eyes.
He pondered for a moment and continued, "Yi Feng's marquis's mansion is not under the prince's mansion. The man behind him can actually put these things into the study of Oro and his, which shows that he has already bribed the most believing people around us." After this statement was made, he completely believed in the three dreams.
"Prince, how should I deal with this thing now?" Shen Yuanqi calmed down on his face, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart. For the sake of his sister, he had to wade through this muddy water.
"How to deal with it? Of course, it is to leave it to the father. As for the Yu family, don't report it. I want to see what the person behind me wants to do." The prince closed the lid of the box and laughed coldly.
It is better for a clear person to be clear, and a turbid person to be turbid. Before the people behind the scenes attack, they secretly report to the emperor, from the light to the dark, from prey to the hunter. Only the prince who is deeply trusted by the emperor dares to act so openly.
Shen Yuanqi felt much more relieved and reminded, "If that person moves, the Marquis's Mansion will be all women and children, and he will probably be implicated..." If his sister had not repeatedly asked him to take care of the old lady and Yu Siyu, he would not have spoken.
"There will be even more trouble for women and children. Lord Shen didn't know that the old Marquis of Yongle used the gold medal of the emperor's grandfather to exchange for the promise of "the crime is not as good as the women and children". If the matter starts, the family of the Marquis's family will not be implicated. When the orphan and his father find out the mastermind behind the scenes, Yi Feng will be cleared."
The prince thought for a moment and added, "This matter will not involve Xiang'er and Master Kuhai. Gu only said that he would catch a spy beside him and asked about such a shocking secret, such as letters and dreams. Gu had never heard of it. He would not stop searching for Yi Feng. Gu passed on his words, and he would see the corpse after seeing someone in his life. Gu sent someone to search for her on the other end, and would never reveal a trace of her reputation. Do Lord Shen feel relieved if Gu had made such arrangements? If he had any concerns, please speak up."
The prince's arrangement was so thorough that Shen Yuanqi had nothing to say, so he immediately stood up and said goodbye. The prince was anxious and did not try to keep him. As soon as he left, he jumped onto the fast horse and galloped towards the forbidden palace.
Yongle Hou Mansion
The old lady was shocked to death when she got the news that her grandson died in Wujiang. She was already scared to death. She cried loudly as soon as she was pinched by Ma Ma. "I was the one who hurt Yan'er! If I had thought of his premature death earlier, I would not have driven Xiang'er away. If I didn't drive Xiang'er away, he would not have encountered any accidents! It was all my fault!"
While crying, she beat her chest and stamped her feet. She pulled out the golden hairpin from her head and wanted to scratch her wrist. She was grabbed by Ma Ma.
"Hurry, go to the Shen family to get the third lady back! Go quickly!" She urged Wanqiu with a stack of urging in the old lady's ear and whispered, "Old lady, why is this your fault? Master Kuhai said that his brother and sister have a life-threatening fate. If they live under the same roof, they can only survive. The Marquis was not the one who was harmed by you, but was defeated by the Tiansha Guxing!"
In order to dispel the old lady's desire to die, she pushed all the mistakes on Yu Miaoqi without hesitation.
