Chapter 124 The Building Tilts (2)

Lou Xiyue said with a light smile: "I am relieved to hear Madam say that. This apricot flower cake tastes just right, Madam, try it?" She pushed the plate in front of Madam Chu, and asked:
"From Madam's words just now, it seems that I admire King Yin very much. It's just that I'm still young in Beijing. Although I've heard of King Yin's name, I didn't know about it by accident. I also ask Madam to clarify my doubts, this one What kind of character is King Yin?"

Before arriving in the capital, Qingshuang had talked with Lou Xiyue about the members of the Daxuan imperial family, among them was Prince Yin.

King Yin is the third son of Emperor Daxuan, and his biological mother is a harem concubine.Under him, there are three other princes, all of whom have been named princes.

Originally, Emperor Daxuan raised five sons and six daughters, but many years ago, the third and sixth princesses died of illness, and the eldest prince and second prince died on the way to inspect various places.

At the beginning, the two princes were also ordered to deal with the corruption case of the prefects and governors of Guangxi and Yuanzhou, but they were killed by the rebels.It is said that after the death of the prince, Emperor Xuan was sad for a long time.

Later, the emperor cracked down on corrupt officials, and he was very afraid of the formation of cliques in the court for personal gain.

It's just that the forces in the DPRK and China are deeply intertwined, and there is always too much resistance to rectification.Emperor Xuan always made a thorough investigation, but he could only catch one or two greedy officials, while the high officials of the court who were hiding behind his back were hard to shake.

Until this time, when Fu Guan went south to the Huaijiang mansion to welcome his relatives, he accidentally found out the prefect of Pingjiang, then Yan Yun, and finally found Yan's mansion and Princess Anning.

This is a rare opportunity to uproot the rotten roots of the imperial court, and it is also a time to re-establish the authority of the emperor. Emperor Daxuan never wants to miss this opportunity.

For this reason, he not only ordered Dali Temple to have full authority to hear the case, but also asked Yin Wang to assist him.

Before that, Fu Guan had mentioned this matter to Lou Xiyue.But what Fu Guan said at that time was that King Yin was only an observer judge and did not directly intervene in the interrogation and investigation process of the case.

Now that Lou Xiyue heard Mrs. Chu mention King Yin, she thought that there was some inexplicable connection between these events.

However, the current situation is unclear, Lou Xiyue is not good at jumping to conclusions.

But at this time, Madam Chu's eyes lit up when she saw that she took the initiative to mention King Yin.She covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Prince Yin is a rare and favored son of heaven."

Mrs. Chu said: "It's not long since Wangfei entered Beijing, so it's normal that she hasn't seen him. However, as long as you have met Prince Yin, Wangfei, you will never forget it."

"Prince Yin is suave, talented and knowledgeable, courteous and corporal, honest and caring for the people, looking at the whole capital, it is difficult to find another young talent like him. What's more, Prince Yin has made many achievements in the court these years, I believe that in the near future..."

When talking about this, Mrs. Chu paused for a moment, and then added: "My lord is still the pillar of the Great Xuan Kingdom."

"I see." Lou Xiyue nodded and said.

She thought in her heart, the pillar of the country, I'm afraid King Yin didn't think so in his heart.

Perhaps what he wants to do is not only an official of Daxuan, but also the honorable position above ten thousand people.

After all, King Yin is the emperor's son.As long as he is the son of the emperor, Lou Xiyue believes that no one can refuse the temptation brought by the succession to the throne.

Thinking of this, Lou Xiyue's thoughts began to diverge.

Emperor Daxuan had so many sons, but the only prince involved in the corruption case was Prince Yin.What it represents is self-evident——

If this case can be handled well, there is no doubt that King Yin's prestige in the court will be greatly enhanced.If it can't be done well, King Yin, as an observer judge, will not be hated by other ministers who have interests in the court.

With Fu Guan and Dali Temple standing in front of him, the one who bears the brunt will definitely not be King Yin.

For King Yin, this is beneficial but not harmful.And this is why Emperor Xuan is paving the way for King Yin to build bridges on a smooth road in the future.

So even if Fu Guan and others tried their best to find out the whole story of the case, in the end they were just making wedding dresses for others.

What a good plan, Lou Xiyue thought so.

At this time, Mrs. Chu continued to say: "Not only is King Yin kind, but Princess Yin is also very friendly. If there is a chance, why don't you come to visit Prince Yin's mansion with me? If you see Princess Yin, you will definitely do it Like her."

Regarding this suggestion, Lou Xiyue has reservations.She smiled slightly, and quietly distanced herself from Mrs. Chu by drinking tea:
"It's been a mess these days, and there are some things to deal with in the house. If you want to visit, why don't you make an appointment after a while?"

Mrs. Chu didn't think there was any difference, she nodded quickly and agreed: "Of course that's good. Then I'll just wait for the princess!"

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in her heart: This is all right, the matter that Lord Yin explained is considered to be completed?Ouch, I was brought here. Whether or not I can win over King Xuanping depends on what Prince Yin's mansion does.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chu drank the fruit wine complacently, feeling refreshed for a while.

On the other side, Lou Xiyue glanced at her expression and thought about it, so she stopped to start.The two were silent for a while, each with their own thoughts, and then Mrs. Chu stood up to say goodbye.

But at this moment, a person suddenly stumbled and ran through the small door leading to the backyard.The boy was covered in dirt, and shouted at the top of his voice: "It's bad, it's bad, something happened to the son-in-law!"

The sound spread throughout the garden, and everyone followed the sound.Immediately afterwards, the eunuch in charge beside Princess Anning hurried forward, twisted the servant's ear severely and scolded:
"I'm not afraid of disturbing the distinguished guests by shouting about such a terrible thing!" After speaking, the eunuch in charge apologized to everyone and said with a smile: "This servant is ignorant and disturbed everyone's interest. The villain will take him down now."

At the same time, Princess An Ning also apologized to everyone: "It is my palace who is not strict in discipline, please don't blame me. Thank you all for coming to celebrate your birthday today, I thank you here. It's just that there is something in the mansion right now, so I have to stay away for the time being." accompany."

Someone said: "Princess, don't worry about me waiting, you'd better go and see the consort first."

Princess An Ning expressed her thanks again, and immediately took her away.

Looking at her expression, Lou Xiyue guessed in her heart that maybe something happened in Yan's residence, and some things were confiscated from the house.

Then she thought about the purpose of coming to the Princess Mansion today, and couldn't help but hesitate to think, is it better to just wait and see what happens, or follow along and have a look?
But before Lou Xiyue could make a decision, another eunuch hurriedly sent a message:
"I would like to report to my concubine, ladies and gentlemen, the princess would like to invite the distinguished guests to go to the lotus pond to taste tea and enjoy music, drink wine and watch flowers. The princess has also ordered people to prepare a good show on the stage of the lotus pond, and invite the distinguished guests to come Play and enjoy the scenery at the lotus pond."

Everyone looked at each other, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect the princess to be so well prepared. If that's the case, I can't refuse to wait. Do you mean, Princess Xuanping?"

"The princess has a noble status, so I ask the empress to go first."

Hearing this, Lou Xiyue got up and walked in front: "In that case, please ask the father-in-law to lead the way."

The group of them followed the eunuch who led the way to the courtyard in the northwest.After bypassing a rockery, then step into the circular arch.Among the bamboo forests, there was a scream in front of them, and then, a panicked figure rushed towards the crowd! ——

 The conspiracy line is about to start~
  If there is no accident, the two main lines should be merged within [-] words
