Chapter 191 Ordered to leave Beijing
Chapter 191 Ordered to Leave Beijing
Author: Willow leaves in winter
Xin You lowered her eyes slightly and replied to Emperor Xingyuan's words: "The last time a civilian girl met Mr. Song Ling, Mr. Song Ling said that he had something to do and asked to leave the capital temporarily. I think he had already left the capital by then."
That answer obviously did not deny what Emperor Xingyuan wanted: "Then do I know Mr. Songling's residence in the capital?"
Xin You shook his head: "I don't know, but Mr. Songling comes to see me every time I submit a manuscript. Mr. Songling misunderstood his origins and kept silent about his residence, and the girl didn't ask any questions."
Emperor Xingyuan was unwilling to give in: "What about his appearance? He covers his face every time he sees me?"
"No, a folk girl can tell from his voice and body shape that Mr. Songling is very young, but -"
"Coco what?"
Xin You raised his eyes slightly and saw Emperor Xingyuan's expression: "Isn't he a young man?"
Men in Daxia are over twenty years old, and those under twenty can be called young men.
"So young?" Emperor Xingyuan glanced at He Qingxiao standing aside in surprise.
I heard He Qingxiao report that Mr. Song Ling was a young man, but I didn't expect him to be that young.
Thinking about "Painted Skin" and "Journey to the West", Emperor Xingyuan felt that it was unacceptable.
Is it possible to write such a book without certain experience?
"Miss Kou, if you can't see the appearance, and just rely on the voice, will you judge the body shape incorrectly?"
Xin You thought for a while and said seriously: "Keke is very sensitive."
"Feeling?" Emperor Xingyuan felt funny.
"It's about how a person feels. Although Mr. Songling has covered up his appearance, his figure is different from the thinness of an adult man. He obviously has the thinness of a teenager, and he has the words and deeds when dealing with... To judge a person's age,
It doesn’t necessarily depend on the outside.”
Speaking of that, Xin You glanced at He Qingxiao out of the corner of his eye.
That time she disguised herself as a man, it was because of her smell that she failed.
"Miss Kou has had many interactions with Mr. Song Ling, but she hasn't heard any information from him?"
Xin Zhu Tu shook his head slowly, and suddenly he was stunned: "There is one... But the girl thinks Mr. Songling is joking -"
"Tell me."
"Mr. Songling revealed that when Qiu left the capital, the girl asked him where he was going and when he would come back. Mr. Songling pointed to the manuscript and said that he was going to the Monkey King's hometown..."
Emperor Xingyuan picked up "Journey to the West" and flipped through it quickly. His eyes fell on the words in the opening chapter: "South of the Luojiang River..."
Scroll further back and there is another mention of the origin of the Monkey King. Bu Mao mentioned the south of Luojiang River and pointed out the specific place - Wanyang.
Emperor Xingyuan suddenly regretted the book and his heart beat rapidly.
Wanyang, is Xinxin in Wanyang?
Isn’t it Wanyang?
Emperor Xingyuan was emotionally agitated, but he could maintain his calmness in front of Xin You: "I understand. Qingxiao——"
"Wei Chen is here."
"I will send Miss Kou back first, and then I will go to the palace. I have something to ask me to do."
He Qingxiao immediately agreed.
"Daughter of the people, please retire."
Emperor Xingyuan's eyes fell on the cute buns on both sides of the girl's head, and he said by mistake: "Miss Kou, thank you for your hard work. I will give you two pearls and flowers and a box of pearls."
Xin You raised her eyes in surprise, then quickly lowered her eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
When she left the palace, she had a box of jewels in her lap. In addition to the rewards she received in the lotus garden, there was no need to add any more jewels for a short period of time.
The wind and snow had not stopped, Xin You and He Qingxiao were riding in a car and riding a horse. They did not say anything during the whole journey. It was not until the carriage stopped in the east that He Qingxiao said warmly: "Miss Kou, please rest early."
"Master He, please pay attention to your safety." Xin You walked into Shaoqing's house and found Xiao Lian waiting at the concierge.
"Girl, you're back." Xiaolian's eyes fell on the box in Xinyou's legs.
Xin You handed it to her along the leg: "The emperor is rewarding it, keep it carefully."
"Ai."
The two walked away, and the doorman clicked his tongue twice.
My cousin is really amazing, the gift given by the emperor is like running water.
When He Qingxiao returned to the palace, the sky was already getting dark.
"Sent Miss Kou back?" Before He Qingxiao came back, Emperor Xingyuan read "Journey to the West" again and again, and he calmed down.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have sent Miss Kou back to Shaoqing's Mansion."
Emperor Xingyuan nodded and expressed his intention of asking He Qingxiao to return to the palace: "I will personally go to Wanyang in the bright moon to find out where Mr. Songling is."
He paused for a moment and then said: "Dongluo is very empress-like."
He Qingxiao looked surprised.
Emperor Xingyuan's face darkened: "Bring more people who are available, and there is no need to ask about others."
"Wei Chen accepts the decree."
When He Qingxiao was about to leave, Emperor Xingyuan called to him: "If you find the queen, take her to the capital to see me immediately."
He Qingxiao was interested in testing Emperor Xingyuan's attitude toward Queen Xin, and expressed embarrassment: "If the Queen is unwilling to return to the capital with the minister—"
Emperor Xingyuan spoke firmly: "We must take the queen back to the capital, but we must not blame the queen for being negligent and rude."
"Wei Chenming is red."
Returning to the Changle Marquis Mansion, He Qingxiao took a few bites of rice and dived into the study.
Aunt Gui looked at the closed door and sighed.
It’s very easy to go out during the Chinese New Year, let alone marrying a wife, and he doesn’t even care about eating. Did the emperor have that intention when he asked the Marquis to be the envoy of Jinlin Guard Town?
He Qingxiao in the study was not dealing with various letters as Aunt Gui thought, but opening "Journey to the West" and reading it word by word.
The moon has turned and the sun has come out. The sunshine is clear and not very warm, and the snow piled up on the eaves and streets is dazzling.
Before He Qingxiao left Beijing, he visited the door of Shaoqing's Mansion again.
Duan Shaoqing was smiling along with him, and when Xin You and He Qingxiao met in the courtyard, he was beating a drum in his heart: The dignified Jinlin Guards envoy came to visit for the third time, so there was no need to kill people and set fires, right?
In the courtyard, He Qingxiao spoke: "Miss Kou, he will leave the capital tomorrow and go to Wanyang."
"Have a nice trip, Sir."
He Qingxiao was silent for a moment and asked: "Miss Kou, don't you have anything else to say?"
Xin You lowered his head slightly, and saw dead grass lying in the gaps between the green bricks where the snow had been swept away.
After a brief silence, she spoke: "I hope Mr. He can find out the truth and return to Beijing with evidence as soon as possible."
"Yes." He Qingxiao responded softly, and then her voice became even softer, "Mr. Songling...do you want Mr. Xin?"
Miss Kou previously said that there was a way for Huang Zai to take the initiative to investigate Wanyang's matter, but he didn't know what it was until last month.
Wanyang is mentioned in "Journey to the West". There must be a lot of other information about the Queen hidden in that story. Only the Emperor would know it.
It’s not surprising that Miss Kou knew some secrets since she was a member of Empress Xin, but how did Mr. Songling, who wrote “Journey to the West,” know about it?
Please, Mr. Songling is also from that valley, and they are not together. Please, Mr. Songling is Miss Kou herself.
Mr. Songling has become famous in the capital, but no trace can be found. Obviously the latter is more likely. A person who does not exist will naturally leave no trace.
And given his status, there are some things that he knows very well, but he cannot ask.
