Chapter 22 Explanation
Shen Xinyue lost her temper over the fact that Huo Weilou kept picking her up at every turn, and secretly sighed in her heart: This is probably her fate.
Huo Weilou is her nemesis.
Standing still at her feet, Shen Xinyue smiled awkwardly and threw a package she had been holding in her hand, "I just saw that the prince left wearing only a robe this morning, so I sent you some clothes.
Unfortunately, the prince was not there when I came, so I came in without permission, and then I found a mouse on your beam, well... I ran up to help you catch the mouse."
Huo Weilou took the package without opening it, but threw it aside casually. He looked at Shen Xinyue with his eyes that had already seen everything, "Oh? Really? I don't think so."
"Then what do you think?" A person with a guilty conscience just says it without thinking, and then feels so regretful that he wants to slap himself twice.
"I think it was you who arranged for Si Qi to bring the breakfast that was close to noon to me, and then deliberately let her accidentally fall when she was approaching the study. While I was going out to check, you secretly Sneaked into the study and became a gentleman."
Huo Weilou crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Shen Xinyue with a playful expression. Her little tricks were not too vulgar to him.
Shen Xinyue smacked her lips, walked to Huo Weilou, and patted his shoulder with her little hand, "This prince, sometimes, although he clearly knows everything, he pretends not to know, which is also a virtue. .
You said, what can I do? You didn't let me participate in the investigation of this matter, so I had to secretly figure out a way on my own. In fact, these things have nothing to do with me, and I don't want to get involved, but some people don't want me to stay out of it. , always stabbing me in the back."
Huo Weilou knew what she was referring to. Naturally, she had heard all Huo Xing's words just now on Liang Shang, so she comforted her and said, "Didn't you also see it? I will not let them succeed. I have been sending people." We are pursuing this matter secretly."
"It's not a bad thing to have more people and more strength. Besides, I really don't like people always trying to harm me behind my back. If I just go with them every day without having anything to do, I might die one day. I don’t even know. That’s not possible. Not only can I not die, I also have to live well.”
Because of the death of the original owner, Shen Xinyue was able to travel back to ancient times through the resurrection of the corpse. To the original owner, she was both grateful and distressed.
According to the memory of the original owner, although she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River, she was not as happy as an ordinary civilian girl.
Her father spoiled his concubines and killed his wives, and had always been very unkind to them. This marriage with Huo Ziyao, the second son of the Prince Regent, was just an attempt by the original owner's father and his concubine to use the original owner for their own benefit.
The original owner may not be smart, but there is nothing wrong with her. She has never done anything harmful to nature, but she lost her life in vain due to a profit marriage.
Now that Shen Xinyue has come back to life on her behalf, she must cherish this opportunity to live, not only for her, but also to make her life more exciting, and to make her own life more exciting.
Now in the palace, Shen Xinyue naturally doesn't want to miss any opportunity. She wants to find out the truth, track down the murderer, and seek justice for the original owner.
When Shen Xinyue leaves the palace in the future, Shen Xinyue will inevitably have to return to the original owner's natal family in Jiangnan, where the original owner's mother and brother are still there. She has to go back and help them to prevent them from being plotted by the bad couple.
But for a moment, these thoughts flashed through Shen Xinyue's mind.
Seeing that Huo Weilou was silent and seemed dazed, she felt angry and taunted her: "Your Majesty never wanted me to get involved in this matter, I'm afraid he is still thinking about someone.
After all, she was once your unmarried wife and the person who almost became your bride. You really know her very well, you know she dares to do it but you don’t dare to admit it."
Huo Weilou was indeed in a daze for a moment just now. He was so dazed that when he heard Shen Xinyue say, "Maybe one day I will die without even knowing how I died," he felt an inexplicable pain in his chest. It was very painful.
Now that he heard that she misunderstood him again, he unexpectedly opened his mouth to explain, "It's not that I know her well. It's just that some of the information I have found out now makes me come to this conclusion."
"What else did you find?" Shen Xinyue asked.
"You don't know something. My marriage to the Lan Mansion is not what I wanted. It's a long story, and it can't be explained in just a few words."
Huo Weilou was thinking about how to tell Shen Xinyue when he saw her bright eyes staring at him unblinkingly. Waiting for him to continue speaking, he motioned for her to sit down.
Shen Xinyue rarely interrupted Huo Weilou and sat down obediently.
Huo Weilou continued: "I can only tell you that the current situation in the court is strange and undercurrents are surging. The Taifu Mansion has been following the emperor closely, and they are making some small moves secretly. I know this in my heart.
Lan Qingruo's father, Lan Shiqing, looks like a modest gentleman on the surface, but he is not. Although his family is in a state of decline, he himself is not low-key. Instead, he is very ambitious. He wants to glorify the Lan family and does whatever it takes.
And Lan Qingruo is not as valued in the palace as she seems. Lan Shiqing is extremely patriarchal. For the glory of their Taifu Palace and the Lan family, he is willing to sacrifice this daughter.
Otherwise, he would not have known that the king had no interest in Lan Qingruo, yet he would have taken the initiative to come to my door several times. He wanted to marry my palace, but he only had his own selfish motives.
As for Lan Qingruo, Xu followed her father. Although she agreed to the marriage, she did not let her father make things smooth and smooth. She also had her own little plans. That's why she was secretly doing things in the house.
As for Lan Qingruo's grandfather Zhang Zhizhou, it was Lan Qingruo who found him on the way. Zhang Zhizhou was only helping his granddaughter, not the Taifu Mansion.
Therefore, please don’t misunderstand me. I don’t understand a certain person, I just understand the situation.”
Huo Weilou spoke seriously, and Shen Xinyue listened seriously.
Although Huo Weilou's explanation made her a little confused. After all, there were too many things involved that she couldn't digest at the moment, but she probably still understood a little bit.
As for a misunderstanding... Shen Xinyue would not admit it, "I didn't misunderstand you. I just wanted to remind you that you don't want others to make a fuss about family matters."
Huo Weilou didn't understand what she meant and looked at her with raised eyebrows, but Shen Xinyue looked like she was watching a good show and didn't bother to explain anymore, and left the study with her arrogant little head held high.
Huo Weilou looked at the already cold breakfast on the table and the package delivered by Shen Xinyue, and tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly.
He called his servants to pack away the breakfast items, leaving the package behind.
Not long after the servant left, he heard someone knocking on the door again.
"Your Majesty."
It was Huo Xing's voice.
"Come in." Huo Weilou said, putting the package on his chair.
After Huo Xing came in, he did not speak. Instead, he looked at the beams and then at the package on the chair. He smiled stupidly at Huo Weilou and said, "Your Majesty, I just saw Miss Shen leaving the study. Already."
"Do you think anyone else can survive on the rafters of my study?" Huo Weilou rolled his eyes at Huo Xing.
Huo Xing smiled knowingly. No wonder he had ignored the hint he had just made to the prince that there was someone on the beam. It turned out that everything was under the control of the prince.
Watching Huo Weilou gently open the package, which contained a piece of his clothing, Huo Xing immediately reminded Huo Weilou and said: "Your Majesty, the wedding in the palace has been going on for so long, but our princess has not been decided yet. …”
Huo Weilou was startled, the movements of his hands paused, and he said with an unhappy expression: "Who said the princess has not been confirmed yet? Can my woman have a second person?"
"This is not what I meant,"
Seeing Huo Weilou's cold face, Huo Xing immediately lowered his head respectfully and explained: "What I mean is that the prince's wedding was announced to the world. What the whole world knows is that the prince married someone from the Taifu Palace. Qianjin Lan Qingruo, the outside world still doesn’t know what happened in the house, and the princess has not been to Jade Butterfly yet, and the prince’s poison has delayed the return time with the princess, so..."
Huo Xing looked at Huo Weilou carefully and did not finish his sentence.
But Huo Weilou already understood. After thinking about it for a moment, he told Huo Xing: "In this case, you can go and make arrangements for entering the palace to meet the saint."
Huo Xing was happy and immediately said seriously: "My subordinates will go make arrangements immediately."
However, when Huo Xing just opened the door, he found the palace manager rushing over.
"Go back to Your Majesty. Someone has been sent from the palace to ask Your Majesty to come into the palace immediately to see the Lord." The manager reported to Huo Weilou after entering the palace.
Huo Weilou and Huo Xing were both stunned, but then Huo Weilou said calmly: "I understand, you can go down."
After the steward left, Huo Xing asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what can you do with the emperor's summons at this time?"
Huo Weilou smiled and said, "Where do you think Grand Tutor Lan Shiqing knew these things about the palace? I knew that the emperor would come to me sooner or later, but I didn't expect that he would be so impatient."
Huo Weilou rewrapped the package and handed it to Huo Xing, asking him to put it in the closet in his study. Then Huo Xing took care of him, changed his clothes, and went to the palace.
Daqi Emperor Huo Tianyi was sitting in the palace with his head bowed in deep thought.
Eunuch Hao, the chief eunuch, came to report: "Your Majesty, the regent Huo Weilou is here."
The emperor raised his hand and said, "Xuan."
Eunuch Hao shouted at the door with his duck voice: "Xuan Regent Huo Weilou has entered the palace."
Huo Weilou came in grandly, bowed to the emperor in a formal manner, and said straight to the point: "I am here to see the emperor. I wonder why the emperor summoned me today?"
With a smile on his face, the emperor motioned for someone to show him a seat in Huo Weilou, and then said: "I have never cared about your uncle since his wedding. I am announcing your arrival today because I just want to have a casual conversation. Your uncle does not need to be formal. .”
Huo Weilou still said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Seeing that Huo Weilou remained silent, the emperor pretended to sigh with concern, and took the initiative to speak, "I just heard that the emperor's uncle's wedding turned out to be a big mistake. The daughter of the Taifu Palace, Lan Qingruona,
It is really a pity that someone with both talent, appearance and family background was a perfect match for the emperor's uncle, but unexpectedly he missed him."
Huo Weilou remained calm and said calmly: "It doesn't matter."
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. This marriage is a big deal, and the most important thing is that you are well-matched. With Your Majesty's character and prestige, that girl from the south of the Yangtze River cannot match it." The Emperor said while looking at Huo Weilou.
look.
As calm as ever.
"It's okay." Huo Weilou gave a rare smile at this time.
The emperor could not see any information on Huo Weilou's face, but he still did not give up and said: "I know the character of the emperor's uncle, and I feel very sad when such things happen to the emperor's uncle, so I am here
The reason I announced your entry into the palace this time is to tell you that if the emperor is interested, I can deal with it and will never make the emperor regret it."
