Splendid spring returns

Speaking of Xin Nian, when he brought the children to the front yard, he only saw the imperial guards already busy inside and outside.

In the courtyard, Gu Yunxian stood blankly, his face as pale as paper, supported by two girls on the left and right. If not for this, he would have collapsed long ago.

There were several eunuchs in front of her. Xu didn't know how to face the princess. They were all looking left and right. Suddenly they saw Xin Nian, and the leader asked in confusion: "Are you...are you..."

"I am the concubine of Prince Duanqin, and now I am in charge of the affairs of this house. These are the prince's children. That's right. Haven't you asked me for my father-in-law's name yet?"

Xin Nian saluted. The eunuch had already known about Duan Qin's palace. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It turns out to be Aunt Xin. Her surname is Liu."

"It turns out to be Eunuch Liu. On the way here, I heard someone said that our prince was imprisoned and that the Royal Forest Army came to the palace to search for evidence. This is strange. Our prince has always been loyal to the emperor and the court. Today, I heard about the emperor's body. I rushed to the palace to attend to my illness because I felt unwell. How could I be labeled with such a big label? I hope my father-in-law will tell me the situation in detail for the sake of our family of old, weak, women and children."

Seeing Xin Nian's calm and cheerful look, Eunuch Liu couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to himself: It's just other people, everyone will be frightened by such a disaster. That princess was so strong in the past, I You know, don’t you seem to have lost your soul now?But Aunt Xin, you are a tiger girl who spoiled your concubines and killed your wives, and now you have regained the power in the palace's backyard. Look at your hair-to-heel spirit, does it have anything to do with the old, weak, women and children?You are more of a man than a man.

He was thinking a lot in his mind, but he didn't dare to show off on his face. Although Prince Duan was sent to the Heavenly Prison of the Zongren Mansion, the Emperor still felt very sad when he saw it. He supported his illness and told him that the Royal Guards were not allowed to invade the Prince's Mansion, and the Imperial Concubine was not allowed to be disturbed. My dear, it’s far from time to bow down to those who are superior and those who are inferior.

So he said respectfully: "I am waiting outside the Yangxin Hall. What is the specific situation inside? I don't know much about it. I only heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reported that Prince Duan was suspected of treason. He also brought witnesses and said Seeing with his own eyes weapons and armor and other things being transported into Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, the emperor immediately sent people to search, and sure enough, thousands of sets of prohibited items were found. In anger, he sent Prince Duan to the prison and ordered him to The Royal Forest Army came to search the house to see if there was any other evidence of treason. But the aunt was relieved, the emperor specifically told not to disturb the concubine, not to mention the brotherhood of the late king, so even if Prince Duan was doomed, he would not be deeply implicated. "

Xin Nian's body swayed a few times, and Gu Yufeng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and then the girls also rushed over.At this time, someone came to ask for instructions and said that the warehouse in the backyard was locked. Should he break it open?Xin Nian hurriedly took out a bunch of keys from his arms, handed them to Xinghua and said, "You and the house manager will take them over to open the warehouse... and search it."

"Yes."

Xinghua burst into tears, took the key, and headed straight to the warehouse with the room manager and a team of royal guards.

Here Xin Nian ordered Chunyu: "Take a few little girls, go to the backyard immediately, and tell everyone that this matter is not allowed to be discussed, especially near Shouning Palace, let alone say a word. Where are the ancestors? It only takes a day to hide it, otherwise how could she survive such a catastrophe?"

"Yes."

The spring rain also takes people away in a hurry.Here, Xin Nian saw Gu Yunxian being helped by the girls to sit down on the stone chair, so he advised: "Sister Xian, you should also take care of yourself. If you can't bear it, why not go back to your room and wait for the news. I'm afraid this time our palace will There is no escape, and you and I must work together to overcome the difficulties. If you also fall ill now, what should I do?" Gu Yunxian glanced at Xin Nian with complicated eyes, turned away with a cold snort, and said to himself: At this moment Have you thought about working together with me?Why didn't you want to give me half of the housekeeping power when you were so powerful?Now that the palace building is about to collapse, you want to trap me here to support me. What are you dreaming about?I'm from Duke Anguo's mansion. I'm told that you can walk by lifting your legs, but I want to see where you can go.

Thinking of this, she felt much relieved as if she had let out a bad breath, and immediately she felt ashamed: it was clear that her brother's life or death was uncertain, yet she was here because of some personal grudge in the past.But then I thought about it: Gu Changting didn't protect her sister at all, not to mention that he was the cause of this catastrophic disaster, and she was the one who was implicated by him, so she needed to feel guilty.

Gu Yunxian sat here in a daze, already planning a way out in his mind.Here Xin Nian and the children were waiting quietly, and suddenly they heard Gu Yufan ask: "Six Niang, can dad really do these things?"

"No, of course not."

Xin Nian's voice was like cutting through gold and jade, and he said word by word: "He is the most upright, loyal and reliable man in the world. Even if he is occasionally arrogant, he will never commit such a heinous crime. Someone must be framing him." …”

"Auntie, be careful." Eunuch Liu quickly reminded: "I don't want to say this. The things were found from Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the capital of Prince Duan's Mansion. This... who can frame this?"

Xin Nian stiffened his neck and said forcefully: "Anyway, I don't believe that Gu Changting would do such a heartless thing. He is a prince, with a few people below ten thousand people. Does he need to rebel? Let alone him and the emperor. The love between father and son..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and then more than a dozen imperial guardsmen ran over with various boxes and account books in their hands, and reported loudly: "These are all incriminating evidences found from Prince Duanqin's study and warehouse. Following the Emperor’s instructions, we did not alarm the Dowager Concubine.”

Xin Nian's eyes almost popped out of her head as she stared at the things held in these people's hands. Some of them she recognized, some she didn't recognize, so she couldn't help but thought to herself: Damn, how...how did you find so many?I have never seen many of them before. It seems that the prince and Tan Feng still dare not put all their treasures on me. There are also some of their people in the Imperial Forest Army, and they have added more crimes to Gu Changting for no reason.

After Eunuch Liu finished the search, he said goodbye and left. Suddenly, only Xin Nian and Gu Yunxian, the strong and calm children, and the panicked servants were left in the huge courtyard.

"You heard it, it is just a search now, not a house raid. What will happen to the prince's safety? What will happen to the future of the palace? All need to be decided by the Emperor's Sacred Heart. But at this moment, this is still Prince Duan's Palace, and you are still the slaves of Prince Duan's Palace. , all the body and deeds are in my hands. I advise you to do whatever you want. If I know that someone is spreading rumors to disturb people's hearts, don't blame me for being merciless."

Xin Nian took a deep breath, glanced at the servants present with a deep look, and after finishing speaking word by word, several servant women who were so frightened that they had fallen to the ground hurriedly got up.I don’t know when the emperor’s decree will come, but this murderous Aunt Xin is right in front of me. If I offend her now, I might be dragged out and beaten to death.
