In the front yard, Cheng Xue and Bai Wei were about to walk to the living room. When she realized that she didn't have the jade pendant, she turned back.
This journey was neither long nor short. But she thought about many possibilities and speculated about the death of the late empress.
If it was just a simple carriage falling off a cliff, if someone did it on purpose, or if someone in the palace was jealous of the late queen's ability, then if she took the things over now, would she be throwing herself into a trap? She clearly remembered Mr. Pang.
Let’s talk about the regrets and regrets of the late empress who had forgotten their friendship.
No, no, no, we can't be impulsive. We still need to discuss it with Li Hui. If she were the old brother herself, and one person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry, she wouldn't worry about it. After all, wealth can only be found in danger. But now that she has a large family, she
Be cautious.
"Mrs. Li, what are you..."
Cheng Xue raised her head when she heard the sound, saw it was the Fuyong Eunuch, smiled and said:
"Thanksgiving at the moment is a bit disturbing to the Holy Spirit. I'd better wait for my husband to thank you tomorrow."
"Mrs. Li, no one else can do this for you." Fu Yong persuaded her hard.
It's a pity that she has made up her mind and will not go again. It would not help if he talked too much.
"I can't go beyond the Holy Spirit's summons, so I'll excuse you now."
Back in the main courtyard, Cheng Xue asked Bai Wei to rest in the afternoon, while she put the things on the Kang table, took out the jade pendant from under the box, and put it aside.
After all, she had never met the man in the palace since Li Hui became an official. Today was just the first time, so he brought things over to test, and he had obviously guessed her identity. Plus Su,
The Gu family sent people to Yujiatun to check on her one after another, which strengthened his suspicion.
Cheng Xue played with the necklace and bracelet, but couldn't figure it out for a long time.
It's best to pretend not to know, but Li Yue's performance in the evening was all seen by Fu Yong, so he couldn't rely on it.
If they are labeled as "deceiving the king", no one in the family will be spared, and they will all be held accountable. But if they take things to identify their relatives, if the other party waits for them to fall into the trap, they will die anyway.
I'm so annoyed, so annoyed. Returning to Beijing was supposed to be a test for Li Hui, but now it's all a test for her. What's this?
At two o'clock in the morning, Li Hui came into the house after bathing and saw her sitting on the kang in a daze. He raised his eyebrows and asked:
"What are you thinking about? You're so absorbed in it?"
Cheng Xue knocked on the Kang table, but there was no sound.
"What's the reward? Isn't it valuable? It doesn't matter if it's not valuable. This time he came to give me a lot of food, which is enough for the family..."
Li Hui said as he walked. When he reached the kang table, he couldn't say the next words. Looking at the necklace and bracelet lying quietly on the table, he instantly understood why she was in a daze.
He sat down sideways next to her, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and said calmly:
"What do you think? Do you agree?"
Cheng Xue rubbed his shoulder feebly, and after a while she whispered:
"I want to admit it but I dare not admit it. If he is true to the late queen, then it will undoubtedly be good for you if I want to admit it to him. But if there is something fishy about the first queen's death, or if he deliberately ignores it,
Then if I admit it, it will be like throwing myself into a trap, do you understand?"
Li Hui naturally knew all the twists and turns.
His big palm wrapped her bare hand, and after thinking about it, he said:
"Then let's let it go for now. I have to go to court tomorrow and he has to arrange errands for me. Let me contact him for a few days and see the situation before making a decision. What do you think?"
Cheng Xue nodded with a "hmm" and sighed softly:
"There is no other way besides this. Just do as you say."
"According to his attitude towards Qinglin, the death of the late Queen should not have been caused by him, but who can say for sure? Let's take another look."
Cheng Xue only kept the collar and bracelet, and divided the other items into four parts. Li Yue took the big head, and the other three children took the small heads.
"When Yaoyao, Tiantian and the others come back from the south, we should prepare for the engagement."
Seeing that she adjusted quickly, Li Hui smiled happily and said:
"Just come and make arrangements. How are you preparing for the women's rescue team?"
"The house has been selected, and it is our original mistress. As for the child, we still have to go to Jishan Hall to find it, but recently we have to wait. It's hard to do too much when we first came to the capital."
The couple were discussing matters in the room. In Feng Laiyi's palace, Yan Yunchen frowned after hearing Fu Yong's report.
They have already come to the front yard, and then turned back. Why is this? Logically speaking, knowing that he is so close, shouldn't you lean forward with all your strength? Why...why are you still leaning back?
Fu Yong saw that his master was deep in thought without saying a word, so he obediently stepped aside and breathed as little as possible.
Having served him closely for many years, he already knew all his master's habits.
After a long time, Yan Yunchen stood up and went to rest in the back without saying a word.
Since he ascended the throne, except for necessary visits to the palaces of other concubines, he has spent the rest of his time here with Feng Lai.
Later, princes and princesses were born one after another, and he never went to other people's palaces again. Even if several old guys in the cabinet gave various explicit and implicit instructions, he remained unmoved. As long as he had a biological brother, he would not be trapped in this palace.
.
At that time, I was lucky enough to find my cousin from the side branch and make him an idle prince. I didn't expect that his son would do whatever he wanted in the capital by following his cousin. Although he got the punishment he deserved later, he still caused harm to the people he had harmed.
caused harm.
He put one hand on the back of his head, the other hand held a worn purse, sighed heavily and whispered:
"Wen'er, do you think she is the girl from back then? If so, why doesn't she recognize me? Is she still worried about something?"
In the dark night, in the empty inner hall, there was nothing but his voice. I really wanted an answer, but there was nothing except his own breathing.
He vaguely noticed someone beside the bed. When he opened his eyes warily, it was already a quarter to two and he was about to go to court again.
Year after year, day after day, when will the end come to an end?!
He used to think that "emperor" was the hardest job in the world, but he didn't expect that it would be nearly twenty years since he became the emperor, and it would be nearly twenty years since she left him.
Fu Yong, who was waiting in the outer hall, heard the noise and hurriedly brought people in.
After freshening up and changing clothes, breakfast was placed on the table and the three princes were standing beside him, waiting for him to take a seat.
"Sit down and eat."
"yes."
The things placed in front of the four masters were all the same, four meat buns, a bowl of millet porridge, two boiled eggs, and a cup of hot milk.
Yan Mu put two spoons of sugar in it as usual, glanced at his father sadly, and swallowed his words again. If he didn't take it with him, he wouldn't take it with him. He would go find Li Hui after the court today, and he had to rely on one.
Grilled lamb chops are not a must.
The four people ate breakfast peacefully. When they stood up again, all the food on the table was eaten, leaving only empty plates and empty glasses...
