Tibetan beads

Chapter 441 Guess
Yan Ling let go of her awkwardly, and sat down across the tea table: "I'm not joking!"

"Well, I don't even have the guts to joke around."

She also nodded, which made Yan Ling feel competitive, and warned in a low voice: "Don't pick things up! It's only been half a month, and we'll see who can't stand it."

After the harsh words, his ears turned red again.

Xu Yin wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that it would be too funny, so he had to hold back.

She waved the servant girls back and made tea for him herself.

"It turns out that the concubine Xian has such a good relationship with your family?"

This sentence started, Yan Ling spread her hands: "I don't know more than you. I didn't hear about it until last night. It turns out that we are good friends."

Xu Yin pushed the ordered tea over: "The family is so good, will there be no contact for 20 years?"

"Who says it's not!" Yan Ling didn't quite believe it either, "My father said that he lived in the capital when he was young, and got along with Concubine Liu Xian as siblings. My mother also said that she and Aunt Liu were as close as one person I don't sound like a fake, could it be that something happened later that caused the two families to cut off contact?"

It's not impossible, too many things happened in that time period.The chaos in the green forest, the return of King Zhao, the entry of Liu Da into the palace, the marriage of Yan and Dong...

Xu Yin recalled the jade pendant last time, and said softly, "Is it because of emotional entanglements?"

That's what Yan Ling thought too.Last time, I accidentally glimpsed my father's secret. I met Concubine Xian last night. I was full of words and had nothing to say. I just waited to talk to her today.

He lowered his voice, and said: "What happened back then, I know that my father and Aunt Liu's childhood sweethearts may have had a teenage love affair with each other, and my mother and her were like sisters, but in the end it was my mother who married my father , and the Liu family aunt entered the East Palace, and died early in the morning."

After a pause, a look of struggle appeared on his face: "Could it be that my father has moved on, my mother..."

"Stop!" Xu Yin stopped him, stared at him for a while, and then asked, "Did you not sleep much last night?"

Yan Ling dodged her eyes, but she acquiesced.

Xu Yin sighed and asked, "Are you so distrustful of your father and mother's character?"

Yan Ling lowered her head and picked her fingers, said aggrievedly: "Of course I trust them, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep?"

He believed in his parents in his heart, but the guidance of clues could not rule out this possibility.He needs someone to affirm him so that he won't be so panicked.

Xu Yin understood, and said in a soft voice: "If you think about it this way, the prince has kept that jade pendant all the time, so it can be seen that the probability of his empathy is very small, right?"

Yan Ling nodded.He knew his father well, if he changed his mind first, he would not keep the jade pendant for so long, and he cherished it very much.

"As for the concubine, if she did something she shouldn't do, she would feel very guilty, right? But do you feel guilty about her attitude towards Concubine Xian?"

Yanling thought about it for a while, and the look in her eyes slowly returned: "Yes! My mother was very affectionate to Concubine Xian last night. Hearing what happened to Concubine Xian, she sympathized with her situation and invited her back to live in the mansion. .”

"Ah? Did Concubine Xian agree?" Xu Yin hurriedly asked.

Yan Ling shook her head: "No, Concubine Xian said that the place where she lives now is safe. I think it won't be long before the palace will issue an order to take Concubine Xian back."

Xu Yin nodded and brought back the topic: "Look, the performance of the prince and concubine is enough to show that they did not do anything wrong to that great concubine. I think it may be that she entered the palace first, and this marriage is hopeless , the prince had no choice but to cut off his feelings, and later married the princess——if you still doubt it, let's go find the records and confirm the time."

"What time?"

Xu Yin didn't go into details, but called Xiaoman: "You go to Qi Canjun and ask her to find the records of the Eastern Palace when the late emperor was the crown prince."

Xiaoman agreed and went quickly.

After a while, Miss Qi came with a lot of booklets.

"Miss San, what you want should be here. This is the account book, this is the project, and this is the personnel..."

Xu Yin thanked her, and said softly, "It's Chinese New Year's Eve, please take this trip."

Miss Qi said with a smile: "I'm alone anyway, and I'm worried that I have nothing to do!"

After she left, Xu Yin searched carefully.Soon, she pushed one of them over.

"Look, Dong Gong was concubine in March 22 years ago, but the imperial decree was issued in June last year. When did your parents get married?"

Yanling made some calculations and was overjoyed: "It was September 23 years ago."

"So, there is a marriage decree first, and then your parents get married, right?"

Yanling nodded: "It's three months away. The marriage will be granted in June, and my parents will get married in September."

He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, in the early years, I heard my uncle complain after drinking, saying that my mother's marriage was too hasty, and the marriage must be done in such a hurry that they didn't have time to prepare."

"That's it." Xu Yin slowly straightened it out according to the clues, "The Liu family's aunt was given a marriage, and the relationship with the prince became awkward. I think it should be the old man's decision to marry your father as soon as possible to avoid Suspected of competing with the crown prince for his wife."

Back then, Duke Zhao's government was in an embarrassing situation, and they really didn't dare to take such a risk.

She said softly: "In this way, the concubine has indeed been wronged, no wonder uncle Dong is dissatisfied."

Every link of Xu Yin's reasoning was buckled, Yanling was persuaded by her, and his tone was full of sighs: "So, they were separated by the royal family, and the Liu family's aunt entered the East Palace, so my father had no choice but to give up. , and have less contact with the Liu family."

Therefore, Concubine Zhao did not shy away from getting close to Concubine Liu Xian, she had no regrets in her heart, and now she was not afraid of the royal family's dislike.

Xu Yin closed the booklet and asked with a smile, "Are you in a good mood now? Can you fall asleep?"

Yan Ling showed an embarrassed smile: "Yes."

Putting aside his doubts, he relaxed and asked, "Is there any place you want to go today? While there is still time, I will go shopping with you?"

Xu Yin shook his head: "It's hard to rest, I don't want to go anywhere."

"Okay," Yanling moved to her side, "Then I'll sit with you, the sun is shining today, let's enjoy the sun together."

Xu Yin smiled: "Okay!"

The two were basking in the sun, chatting one after another, and before they knew it, the world quieted down.

Xu Yin recalled the unsolved mysteries of his previous life, and reminded him: "By the way, that concubine, you should be more careful. She is not clear about the false emperor, so she may not be a good person."

After not hearing an answer for a long time, she lowered her head and found that Yan Ling had fallen asleep.

Xu Yin couldn't help smiling, and turned his neck which was twisted aside, and leaned on his leg.

The sleeping Yan Ling was quiet, without the usual laughter, her facial features revealed a stern look, more and more like the silver armored young master Yan in her previous life.

Her fingertips gently traced his eyebrows and eyes, and said softly: "I hope you will be safe and healthy in the future, and you don't have to go through those pains again..."
