Chapter 101

Cheng Yingzhou first told about Yue Wenkang's suspicion of Ning Shouhou and entrusting him to investigate the anonymous submitters. Siqing nodded and said, "You should pay attention to Yue Wenkang, and be careful that he cannibalize people and assassinate him."

Cheng Yingzhou agreed, and then relayed the story of Prince Duan's visit to Jiang Feng in detail. After hearing this, Siqing said: "Old Eleven is very conscientious, and I will thank him very much. But if I am his father, sooner or later I will You have to piss him off, it will ruin his father's affairs."

Cheng Yingzhou hesitated, "There is one thing that I have never mentioned to His Highness, I don't know if His Highness knows about it..."

Siqing asked, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Yingzhou said: "Going back to Your Highness, it was the late summer and early autumn of Xining's 13th year."

The 13th year of Xining was the year when Siqing came to Beijing. Cheng Yingzhou mentioned the 13th year of Xining, and the figure of Shen Huanhua wearing a purple silk skirt suddenly appeared in front of Siqing.Shen Huanhua looked at herself with gentle and worried eyes, smiled, and disappeared into the veil.It has been years since Shen Huanhua passed away. When Siqing came back to her senses, she couldn't help sighing when she thought of her voice and smile.

The 13th year of Xining is also the year when Siqing and Xiao Yi first met. Cheng Yingzhou mentioned the 13th year of Xining, and Siqing also remembered that when Xiao Yi secretly met Meng Guang, Xiao Yi's close friend who was placed next to Duan Wang at that time, he was almost broken. Things.

After the death of Empress Dowager Renkang, because of Lord Yasukuni, the funeral was kept secret until the beginning of autumn and winter.

The Empress Dowager once told Xiao Yi that the Empress Dowager Renkang passed away in early autumn, and then made it public at the end of autumn.Xiao Yi and Yan Mowei's brothers and sisters did not know how to know that Empress Dowager Renkang passed away in the spring of that year.There are not many people who know about this matter, probably only Xiao Yi, Yan Mowei brothers and sisters, the Empress Dowager, Ding'an Guitai Concubine and the trusted people who serve around her know.

When the Empress Dowager was alive, Xiao Yilai never dared to mention that he knew the real anniversary of Empress Dowager Renkang's death, and he only went to worship in early autumn every year. One can imagine the depression.In the early autumn of the 13th year of Xining, when Xiao Yi paid homage to Empress Dowager Renkang and had a secret meeting with Meng Guang, he was almost smashed halfway, and was pursued as an assassin when he fell behind. , This is the first time Siqing and Xiao Yi met.

Now that I think about it, Shen Huanhua quietly went to the West Mountain to burn incense that day, with tears all over his face, also to pay homage to Empress Dowager Renkang.Shen Huanhua only said that Empress Dowager Renkang passed away in early autumn. Because she declared that the festival day was at the end of autumn, and the empress dowager was still alive that year, the Shen brothers and sisters had many taboos, even the servants of the Ye Mansion.

Si Qing lost her mind after thinking about it, Lu Chu came to serve tea, Si Qing Fang asked: "You said that in Xining 13 years ago, the third brother went to Duanfu Bieye to meet Meng Guangshi?"

Cheng Yingzhou nodded, "When Your Majesty left Duanfu Bieye, the minister was behind His Majesty. In fact, Prince Duan's son saw the minister, but he helped the minister to avoid the servants of the Duanfu, so the minister was able to escape. After hearing this, His Majesty, He didn't say anything. The backward minister once thanked the prince in private, and the prince said that... it was for his future."

Siqing listened with a smile, "At that time, Eleven was old enough to know that he was against his father? It was a waste of his father's love for him. Since you have something in his hands, try not to deal with him now and leave it to Jia Mrs. Guo will do it." After finishing speaking, he continued, "This is not really an excuse, Old Eleven has no evidence in his hand, so you just have to be more careful."

Cheng Yingzhou said: "I understand."

Siqing said: "I know you have set up posts near Fenzi Hutong, so be more careful and don't cause trouble for me. I don't go out, so nothing big will happen."

Cheng Yingzhou also agreed, and Si Qing said: "Go ahead and report to His Majesty in time."

Cheng Yingzhou's words reminded Siqing of the events when Xining first came to the Imperial Capital in 13. She saw Lu Chu going to the back porch to feed the pigeons, so she went up the stairs to the attic alone.

In the middle of the narrow attic hangs a mountain dwelling map drawn by Lu Chu, and there are large agate plates on the lower tables for offering fresh fruits.In summer, the weather is hot, no incense is burned, the stove and bottle are left for nothing, and the house only borrows a little fragrance of fresh fruit.Siqing opened a window, and the melodious silk and bamboo music from Fenzi Hutong poured in with the breeze of summer night, which was very pleasant.She thought of the summer nights in Xining's 13th year, when she punted alone in the Yuanhu Lake in the south to enjoy the cool air.The boat was lightly paddled into a lotus leaf, and she lay on the boat, looking at the stars in the sky, waiting for Fu Linchuan and her brother to return.But after all, she couldn't wait for them to return, but met Ye Lancheng who changed everything about her on the same boat.

She had imagined the appearance of her father and brother countless times. When her illusion about her father was shattered, she tried her best to maintain a little illusion about Ye Lancheng.Ye Lancheng is proficient in poetry and books, silent and observant of etiquette. The so-called modest gentleman is as gentle as jade, but that's it.However, one day, she suddenly realized that Ye Lancheng was just a strict wife who carefully protected herself and the clan.Silence concealed his old-fashioned, politeness concealed his cowardice, he is not a person who can achieve great things, not even a person who can be conservative.

By chance, now that Fu Linchuan and Gu Liangfen have both come to the Imperial Capital, Ye Lancheng's shadow in Siqing's heart has faded. Siqing no longer cares about Ye Lancheng, and her resentment towards him is not as serious as before.Now thinking of Ye Lancheng who was alone, Siqing suddenly felt that she felt sorry for him.It's just that a poor person must have something to hate, and I can't forgive him.Siqing helped her forehead and walked downstairs, just in time to meet Lu Chu.

Lu Chu hurriedly asked: "What is the girl going to do?"

"I want to go for a walk," Siqing said, "Don't worry, Lao Cheng has put some people around me to follow me, I will come back after I go for a walk."

Unable to stop Lu Chu, she let Siqing put on the veiled cap and went out through the back door.Seeing Siqing walking away, Lu Chu stomped her feet and went to report to Cheng Yingzhou.

Siqing's heart was extremely chaotic, she just wanted to see Fu Linchuan and talk about her troubles.When she arrived at Gu's house, she hesitated whether to knock on the door, wondering if Fu Linchuan and Gu Liangfen had rested.She looked around, no one was there, leaning her back against the door.Unexpectedly, Fu Linchuan just came to lock the door, and when he heard the noise, he asked, "Who is it?"

Siqing quickly said, "It's me."

Fu Linchuan opened the door, and Siqing stepped in lightly. Seeing him close the door again, she frowned slightly and asked, "Siqing? Why are you here alone again?"

Siqing said, "Where's brother?"

Fu Linchuan replied: "He has something to do today, so he should sleep in a shop in the inner city."

The two of them went to the upper room, only to see the crispy cheese made by Fu Linchuan on the table, which was soaked in cold water.Siqing smiled, "I just want to eat this?"

Seeing her picking up a porcelain spoon to eat cheese, Fu Linchuan turned around and poured a cup of tea for her, and asked softly, "Siqing, why did you come back to the city quietly? Did you encounter something that cannot be unraveled?"

Siqing smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, you underestimate me. I'm not a three-year-old anymore. Even if you give me a fish head, I can take it apart."

Fu Linchuan saw that she didn't speak or ask, sighed softly, sat opposite Siqing, picked up the fan and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the summer in the imperial capital to be so hot."

"Dijing is hot and dry," Siqing said, "people are hot."

Fu Linchuan smiled, poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Siqing, "Taste the tea brought back by the clerk at Liang Fen's shop."
