On the last day of the January period, Qin Jiyan received a letter from the Eternal Life Sect.
I don’t know who wrote that letter. The wording is very polite and gorgeous. There is no serious matter in the whole article. It is full of compliments and greetings. Only at the end is it mentioned that I am in Huangyuan. I am waiting for the Holy Emperor and Miss Gu.
!
"Where is Huangyuan?" Qin Jiyan looked for Jiao Xiangdi after reading the letter.
If you want to say who is most familiar with this place in the south of the Yangtze River, it is Jiao Xiangdimo.
"Huangyuan? There is no such thing as Huangyuan in the south of the Yangtze River." Jiao Xiangdi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.
"No Huangyuan? It's impossible...think about it carefully." Qin Jiyan didn't think anyone from the Changsheng Sect would play tricks on him.
"I...or I'll check the local chronicles. Maybe I can't tell even if the name has been changed." Jiao Xiangdi was sure that his memory was correct, but he couldn't guarantee whether there was a place called Huangyuan before Jiangnan.
"Go quickly." After Qin Jiyan told Jiao Xiangdi to check the whereabouts of Huangyuan, he also asked the secret guard to investigate.
The people from the Changsheng Sect dare to promise to make an appointment in Huangyuan, so in this land south of the Yangtze River, there must be Huangyuan.
"My subordinates take orders." The secret guard clasped his hands into fists, bowed and stepped back.
Qin Jiyan sat alone in the study and carefully read the letter from the Eternal Life Sect again. He made sure that there were no messy codes or puzzles in the letter, and then he put it down.
"Phoenix Garden? Phoenix is the male and phoenix is the female. There are not many people in the world who dare to use the word "phoenix". When did there be a phoenix garden in the south of the Yangtze River?" Qin Jiyan leaned back on the seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped the armrest with his fingers, and said
Half of the face is hidden in the dark, and half is exposed to the light. It is inexplicably a bit more gloomy and looks mysterious and unpredictable.
"It seems... my father once said that he would build a phoenix garden for my mother just like the emperor did to the emperor. Could it be that... the phoenix garden that the emperor built for the emperor was in the south of the Yangtze River?" Qin Jiyan suddenly opened his eyes.
, a bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Zi Che, come out!"
"Your Majesty." Zi Che came out of the corner, clasped his hands in his fists, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Zi Che, do you know where the Huangyuan that the Emperor's Grandfather built for the Emperor's Grandma is?" This was something the Emperor did to coax his wife before he ascended the throne. Not many people knew about it. If the former Prince hadn't mentioned it back then,
In a word, Qin Jiyan would not know about this.
Zi Che lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know." There is not much information about the Emperor and his wife when he was young. After Qin Jiyan's maternal ancestral family was destroyed, he did not dare to mention it.
Because, in order to gain the support of Qin Jiyan's maternal ancestral family, the Yue family, the Supreme Emperor had promised to only marry one wife in his life. Even if the wife had no heirs, he would not take in concubines or concubines.
Later, the Supreme Empress came and broke her promise, but by that time the Supreme Emperor had already secured the throne. Even if the Yue family was dissatisfied, they could only break their teeth and swallow blood.
"Let someone go check and find out whether the Supreme Emperor ever came to Jiangnan or built a garden in Jiangnan back then." Qin Jiyan is certain that there is no Huangyuan in Jiangnan now. The Huangyuan mentioned in the letter from the Eternal Life Gate is very
At least eighty-nine times it is related to his grandma.
"My subordinates take orders." Zi Che did not go out, but turned around and hid in the corner.
His duty is to protect the emperor, and other people should handle the matter of finding out the information.
"Duh duh duh..." Qin Jiyan tapped the handrail more and more frequently, one after another. Just hearing the sound showed that he was emotionally unstable at this time.
The move of the Eternal Life Sect made him feel uneasy. The people in the Eternal Life Sect knew too much, and this was not a good thing for him.
"The Eternal Life Sect, what a great Eternal Life Sect." Mentioning Huangyuan at this time, what conspiracy do they have?
Qin Jiyan didn't believe it was a coincidence that the Eternal Life Sect chose to meet him in Huangyuan.
At this moment, Jiao Xiangdi, who went to check the local chronicles, came to Qin Jiyan holding a thick local chronicle. "Your Majesty, I have found it."
"Come in." Qin Jiyan raised his eyebrows, surprised by Jiao Xiangdi's high efficiency, "Why so fast?"
"Xiaguan is lucky. The clerk guarding the files is familiar with the local chronicles. When the official asked him, he found it." Jiao Xiangdi came forward with the local chronicles in his arms, spread out one side and handed it to Qin Jiyan, "
Your Majesty, you see. More than 40 years ago, before the Emperor ascended the throne, he took his wife to Jiangnan for fun and built a garden in Jiangnan. It is said that the Emperor personally designed the garden and supervised the construction. After it was completed, it was named Huangyuan.
.However, not long after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, Huangyuan was accidentally burned down by fire."
"It is indeed Huangyuan built by Grandpa Huang." Qin Jiyan clenched the armrest with both hands, "Pah..." With a strong force, the armrest was crushed by him.
Burned by fire due to accident?
Probably not!
"Plop..." Jiao Xiangdi was startled, and he knelt down with his legs straight. His mouth reacted faster than his brain, and he shouted out first: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
In the past, Jiao Xiangdi would never have done this. During this period of time, under Jiao Cifu's training, he seemed to have done an excellent job.
"Calm down? I'm not angry." He had nothing to be angry about. "Where is the remaining part of Huangyuan?" He wanted to see where the Huangyuan was built and destroyed by his own hands.
Although there was no evidence, Qin Jiyan knew that the fire must have been the work of his grandpa Huang. Starting from the burning of Huangyuan, grandpa Huang destroyed his grandma Huang and the Yue family bit by bit.
"In the peach forest ten miles away from the strange slope outside the city." Jiao Xiangdi has indeed made progress. Although Qin Jiyan did not give the order, he understood everything clearly before he came to see Qin Jiyan.
He was afraid that if Qin Jiyan asked him, he wouldn't be able to answer.
"Send someone to clear that forest." Qin Jiyan stood up and walked past Jiao Xiangdi.
"Yes." Qin Jiyan had already gone out, but Jiao Xiangdi was still kneeling there and did not get up.
At this moment, he finally understood what the emperor's pressure meant, and he finally understood what his father meant when he said that the emperor was no longer the King of Qin.
With his nose sore, Jiao Xiangdi took a few deep breaths to suppress the sourness and melancholy in his heart, and then he got up from the ground.
He will be a good servant of the emperor, and he will not let his father and the emperor down.
Jiao Xiangdi turned around and walked out, walking firmly without any hesitation.
He knows what he should do!
After confirming that the Huang Garden written in the letter from the Immortal Sect was related to the Supreme Emperor, Qin Jiyan knew that the matter was not that simple. After walking out of the study, Qin Jiyan went to see the old housekeeper in person.
"Who is the person who will meet you in Jiangnan?" Qin Jiyan said bluntly and straight to the point.
"Wha, what?" The old butler had been in a very bad state of mind these past few days and his brain was slow to react. He could not understand what Qin Jiyan meant for a moment. Qin Jiyan had to repeat it. Only then did the old butler react, but he did not answer Qin Ji.
Instead of asking the question, Jie Jie smiled and said, "Did the Emperor find anything?"
"What is his relationship with the Yue family? In other words, what is his relationship with my imperial grandmother?" Qin Jiyan's words contained the answer the old housekeeper wanted.
"I didn't expect that the Emperor would find out so many things in such a short period of time." The old housekeeper's heart was as uneasy as the turbulent waves, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Elder Peng, answer my question!" Qin Ji's tone suddenly became stern, like a stern general, questioning the prisoner. Even though the old housekeeper was mentally prepared, he was also frightened, "Holy, what do you want to know, Your Majesty?"
?”
If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. The old housekeeper has not been found around Qin Jiyan for many years because he has always regarded himself as Qin Jiyan's slave, and his servility has been deeply rooted in his bones.
The habits developed over the years cannot be changed overnight. When Qin Jiyan gets angry, he is instinctively afraid.
"I want to know that person's identity and his relationship with the Yue family?" Qin Jiyan added after asking, "Don't tell me that you can't tell me. I know the purpose of the Loyalty Gu better than you."
The excuse was blocked, and the old housekeeper smiled bitterly, "The emperor knows what to do, he is now a member of the Immortality Sect."
"That's my business, you just need to tell me what you know." Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. The other party knows everything, but he doesn't even know the other party's identity. If they really have to fight, does he still have a chance of winning?
"I don't know much." The old butler knew that he couldn't escape today, so he had to say something. But before he said that, he had to ask for some benefits for himself.
"Your Majesty, can you please let this old slave be full?" These days, if he eats even a little bit of food, he will be forced to vomit it up. Not to mention how uncomfortable it is, his stomach is never full, and he almost looks hungry.
Feeling dizzy.
"Come here, bring me two bowls of rice." Qin Jiyan did not embarrass the old butler on such a trivial matter. However, the old butler's answer to him was not satisfied with how much he had eaten now, so he was ready to spit out double the amount.
.
The secret guard was very obedient. Qin Jiyan said there were two bowls of rice, but he only brought two bowls of rice, not even a vegetable leaf. The old butler didn't mind it either, he picked up the rice and put it in his mouth, eating it faster than anything else.
Only those who are truly hungry will understand the value of food. Only those who are truly hungry will understand how fragrant a bowl of white rice is.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the old butler finished the two bowls of rice and took a sip of water. The old butler finally felt that he was alive. After adjusting his clothes, the old butler saluted Qin Jiyan, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Say." Qin Jiyan said coldly without even moving his eyes.
The old housekeeper didn't find any excuses this time, and said very simply: "The person the emperor wants to ask is now the head of the Changsheng Sect. He used to be the young cousin of the Yue family, that is, your grandmother's cousin." And the cousin and the cousin.
Cousin's things are always easy to breed feelings, even if it's just one-sided, it's still feelings.
"Young cousin of the Yue family? Why didn't he die?" At that time, the Supreme Emperor, who was still the emperor, not only personally ordered the destruction of the nine Yue family clans, but also personally intervened and supervised the execution. None of the in-laws of the Yue family escaped that disaster.
Qin Jiyan didn't think that young master had the ability to escape from that disaster...
