Chapter 75 75. Refusing to Seduce
Lie Yan looked at her jokingly.
"Tell me, is there something you shouldn't have moved, huh?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Yin Jieyou put down his hand and rolled his eyes at Lie Yan, but he didn't know why, the word "chunxin" seemed to touch her heart. It's getting hotter and hotter.
Seeing Lie Yan's expression of watching the show, Yin Jieyou's eyes dodged a little, he drank the tea on the stone table, cleared his throat, "Well, it's a bit hot, it's autumn, why is it still so hot ?”
Lie Yan laughed, looking at the empty teacup on the table, he was a little dazed.
*
Although Concubine Mei was taken to Yin Palace by Yin Jieyou, she had lived in the palace for many years and had deep feelings for it. It happened that the new emperor was busy with government affairs and had no time to expand the harem. It has been reserved for Concubine Mei, and on the first and fifteenth day of every month, she has to go back to Chonghua Palace for one night.
It was the first day of the new year again, Yin Jieyou got up early and had nothing to do, so he entered the palace with Concubine Mei.
The two briefly took care of the flowers and plants in the greenhouse, and took some lunch. Concubine Mei felt tired, so Yin Jieyou sent her to the inner room for a nap.
"Miss."
Yin Jieyou had just closed the door when Liuli approached with a solemn expression and whispered something to her.
Yin Jieyou's expression froze slightly, "When did it happen?"
"just now."
"What about the little lady?"
"Let's go." Liuli said, "Although she said it in a low voice, I can hear it clearly, she is saying that you must be careful tonight."
"Then what's so special about her?" Reported inexplicably?Yin Jieyou frowned.
Wandering thought for a while, "It's very ordinary, nothing special. I went to find out. She is just the cleaning lady of Xinrui Palace, and Xinrui Palace is a cold palace. No one has lived in it these years. Miss, who do you think she is?" Sent?"
Yin Jieyou raised the corners of his lips playfully, and said lightly, "No matter who sent it, there will be no peace tonight."
Hearing the words, he pursed his lips and frowned.
Who is it this time?Is it the queen mother or the third princess?
Autumn days are getting shorter and nights are getting longer, and soon the sky is getting dark.
Yin Jieyou and Concubine Mei had some dinner together, let the nanny serve them, and went to the courtyard of the Chonghua Palace by himself.
Liuli had been waiting there early, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Miss, I have checked according to your order. Except for the right minister and some officials and ministers in the palace today, it may take a long time to deal with the drought. It’s nothing special to leave the palace at night.”
"Nalan Yu..."
"Ah."
At this moment, a little palace lady stepped forward with small steps and bowed to Yin Jieyou, "Princess, there is a servant from Ye Ting Prison at the door, and she wants to see the princess. Is the princess missing? No?" The servant sent her away."
Yin Jieyou's eyes moved slightly, "Yeting Prison?"
"Yes."
"Call her in."
The little Gong'e bowed again, turned and left, and a moment later, a girl dressed as a low-class servant appeared in front of Yin Jieyou.
"Qianyun has met the princess." Wu Qianyun bowed slightly, just like she used to when she was the younger sister of the Hussar General.Yin Jieyou was not in the mood to argue with her about this, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Excuse me."
"Thank you, Princess." Wu Qianyun got up, squeezed her wounded hands together tightly, her fair face was hard to hide her haggardness at this moment, her lips were still a little chapped, and Yin Jieyou was silent, and said unceremoniously: "Look Miss Lai Wu's life in Ye Ting Prison was not very good."
Wu Qianyun froze, "With my current status, I'm just a low-level servant, so I don't care if it's good or not... The Princess is just joking."
Yin Jieyou turned around and sat down with a chic posture.
"You came to look for me today, you can't just do it as a gift, right?"
"I..." Wu Qianyun bit her chapped lower lip, "I know the princess has always misunderstood me, but today there is indeed a very important matter, so I have to come to the princess..."
Yin Jieyou raised his eyebrows.
"Finally, what's the matter?" Wu Qianyun came here really strangely, could it be because of Nalan Yu?
"Yes... yes... right minister..."
Yin Jieyou glanced at her not surprised, waiting for her next words.
Wu Qianyun thought that Yin Jieyou didn't believe her, so she hurriedly said: "Although I found out about this incident by accident, it is well-founded, and it is definitely not aimless. Today coincides with the fact that the Prime Minister is still in the palace, and the Empress Dowager is involved in it." , the right side... the right side is in a worrying situation..."
"What happened to Nalan Yu?" Yin Jieyou said lightly, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. "He is the right prime minister, the youngest talent in the limelight, and he is the direct heir of the four great families of Nalan. What can the queen mother do to him? What can the third princess do to him?"
Wu Qianyun took a deep breath.
"The princess also knows how much the third princess has always thought about Prime Minister Right. During the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet a few days ago, Prime Minister Right suddenly invited the third princess to meet, and he didn't know what to say. Later, the third princess and the queen mother began to cry. "
"Miss Wu still knows the details about the third princess as always. How does she know that you also have that kind of thoughts about the right minister, and she is willing to be so close to you?" Yin Jieyou said this kind of sarcasm very smoothly, Wu Qianyun, who only stabbed, turned pale, a little embarrassed.
Wu Qianyun lowered her eyes slightly, "Whether you believe it or not, the manuscripts and scriptures in our courtyard were exchanged, and they were all wronged."
Yin Jieyou only smiled lightly and didn't say anything. She didn't believe Wu Qianyun was so smart and didn't find any clues from Lin Qiuyi's reactions. If Wu Qianyun didn't doubt Lin Qiuyi and her at all, Yin Jieyou didn't believe it. However, what Wu Qianyun said is a bit interesting.
"Since they were all wronged, why worry so much now? The three princesses on the left and right are also sincere to Nalan Yu, and you are the best friend of the three princesses, shouldn't you be happy to see what happens?"
"I... I really yearn for the right man." Wu Qianyun suddenly raised her head with a firm expression, "But I yearn for him, and it's just my own business. I know that I may have nothing to do with him, and I don't want to talk about it. It caused him trouble, so I kept it in my heart and only let myself simply yearn for it. The third princess is indeed my best friend, but I know in my heart that the right relative to the third princess has absolutely no meaning. A person like him... If he is framed by such a design, his heart will definitely be in pain. I can't just watch him fall into someone else's trap. I came to find the princess today because there is no way to ask for help at this time, and I think of the princess You and the Prime Minister are also unmarried couples, and there is some love between them."
"Since it was the queen mother and the third princess who designed the right minister, why didn't you just tell the emperor?"
"Of course I know that telling the emperor is the best way to deal with it, but... it's just me..." Wu Qianyun was silent, as if she was struggling. "Let's not mention that I am just a criminal slave in the Ye court prison, and I will never see the emperor. Even if I do, if I tell the emperor, the third princess will definitely be punished..."
Yin Jieyou still looked at Wu Qianyun indifferently.
Not to mention, she was almost confused by Wu Qianyun's tone and expression, thinking that she was such a loving and righteous woman, but it's a pity that she knows Wu Qianyun's bad nature very well, and everything she has now is nothing but Wu Qianyun's. It's just a disguise.
"What are they going to do with Nalan Yu?"
"They..." Wu Qianyun looked weird for a while, seemed ashamed, but also resentful, and said after a while, "They put some medicinal powder in the tea of the right minister, and then let the third princess go..."
Yin Jieyou frowned, and immediately understood what she meant.The empress dowager's move was really ruthless. With Nalan Yu's character, even if he doesn't like the third princess in his heart, if he and the third princess are husband and wife, he will definitely be responsible.
"I see, let's go."
Wu Qianyun bit her lower lip tightly, "The princess still doesn't believe it?"
Yin Jieyou looked up at her, "Whether I believe it or not is my business." Seeing her like this, Wu Qianyun knew that it would be useless to talk, so she saluted, then turned and left.
Liuli looked solemn, looked at the direction Wu Qianyun left, and said, "Miss, what should we do?"
Yin Jieyou's calm eyes were like an ancient well without waves.
"What she said doesn't seem to be false." Liuli said again.
"Perhaps what she said was false, but the matter of designing Nalan, no matter whether it is true or not, we must always take care of it."
Liuli nodded, "Young Prime Minister has always been kind to Miss. Miss Yin has been away from Beijing for ten years, and the Yin Palace would like to thank You Prime Minister for taking care of her all the time. Naturally, they cannot be allowed to frame You Prime Minister like this."
Yin Jieyou beckoned lightly, and Liuli immediately stepped forward, listening attentively to her instructions, and after a while, nodded clearly.
……
Inside the royal study room, the lights are bright.
The emperor sat in the middle of the seat, his young brows were serious and serious, although it was late, but he didn't look tired, his subordinates quickly attached the memorial in front of him and put it aside, and the serving eunuch took it away immediately, in exchange for Another one.
There were two rows of mahogany desks on the left and right sides of the hall. At this time, each desk was filled with documents. Nalan Yu, the prime minister on the right, was pacing left and right in the hall, waiting for the officials to calculate the amount of money needed for the disaster relief and arrange post-disaster matters.
For hundreds of years, the dynasty has been developing steadily and the country is rich and the people are strong. Decades ago, Huainan and Huaibei were suddenly hit by drought and floods. In order to relieve the victims, the imperial court opened the treasury and granaries, and at the same time raised many corrupt officials. Dirty officials, like insects and ants, ate away at the roots of this great body. Although the previous emperor worked hard to calm the disaster and rectify the administration of officials, the current situation of the new emperor is still clear, but it also left the new emperor with a serious deficit in the treasury.
Now that the disaster is so severe, but the treasury can't even get out a tael of silver, how can the emperor not worry about it!
The emperor's eyes were burning. After approving the memorial in hand, he reached out to pick it up, but there was no response.
"Your Majesty, it's over." The little eunuch waiting on one side said softly, and the eunuchs serving on both sides hurried forward to squeeze the emperor's shoulders and arms to soothe the overly tense muscles, so as not to be sore tomorrow.
The emperor was slightly startled, his eyes flickered, and fell on Nalan Yu in the lower hall.
"Nalan, how are you doing?"
"Go back to the emperor, it's about to be settled."
"How much money can we have for disaster relief?"
Nalan Yu paused slightly, "Everything that can be reduced has been reduced, and the total is only 5 taels."
"fifty thousand!?"
The emperor's sword eyebrows condensed, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"How many days is [-] enough?"
"No more than three days."
The emperor only felt a little pain in his head, and lightly pressed his forehead, and the eunuch behind him immediately took over to serve him, "How is Prime Minister Yao?"
As early as the beginning of the disaster, Prime Minister Yao was sent to Suzhou, a wealthy place, to raise relief money and food, almost a month ago.
"I just received an urgent report from Babaili this morning, and the fundraising is not going well." Nalan Yu also looked hesitant. The disaster relief is the biggest thing in the past two months, but now all the money that can be mobilized has been exhausted. It has been used, and even the cost of various parts of the palace has been reduced, but the effect is still not great, and it is less than 10 taels after squeezing.The emperor had no other choice, he just passed the edict to King Chen this morning, asking for a solution.
"What did King Chen say?"
"No reply."
The emperor felt more and more headache, even his temples were throbbing, and he closed his eyes, "I don't know what Prime Minister Yao is doing every day!"
Nalan Yu's eyes flickered, and his wide sleeves moved slightly.
"Don't worry, your majesty. The ancestors of my ministers have left some silver deposits, so let's use 10 taels for emergency first, and then mobilize the wealthy businessmen and princes in Beijing to donate collectively. You can always raise some. In this way, you can persist for half a month. When the time comes Yao Xiang's grain, grass and money should also arrive."
"Mobilizing princes, nobles, wealthy businessmen to donate money? It's easy to say, but hard to do... Hey, it wasn't enough last time, it was taken out of your private treasury. If this continues, I will go down after a hundred years, how can I have any face?" Seeing the uncles of the Nalan family...you should keep your 10 taels for now, I and the empress have some money here, so let's take it first." The emperor looked up, his expression was very grateful, he was silent, and said: " The fundraising matter... If you go, the matter will be settled long ago."
Suzhou was the most affluent place in the Qian Dynasty. There were many wealthy merchants, and the annual merchant tax accounted for a quarter of the national tax revenue. If there was no money there, how could it be possible?Prime Minister Yao worshiped as Prime Minister of the Left, and was a senior minister who had gone through two dynasties. He was shrewd and capable, so how could he not be able to manage the fundraising?The left and right are nothing more than dissatisfied with the emperor's heavy use of Nalan Yu and slowly using him aside. Now they are seizing the opportunity, delaying time, and waiting for the emperor to compromise.
Nalan Yu naturally understood in his heart, but he still talked about the matter: "It is not an easy task to raise funds for disaster relief."
The emperor waved his hand and stood up, "I'm tired enough today, I don't want to talk about these things, you guys are almost done, go back earlier, there are still many things to do tomorrow."
"According to the order."
Nalan Yu led the crowd to salute, and sent the emperor off.
The eunuch led Nalan Yu to the side hall of the imperial study, intending to rest for a while and leave the palace to return home.Nalan Yu picked up the teacup on the table, moistened his lips, his expression changed slightly, he took a look at the teacup, and then picked up the official documents to read, all the documents were nothing more than officials from the disaster area below crying for money, Feeling tired and bored for a while, I closed my mouth with a snap.
At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Nalan Yu said: "Go in."
With a creak, the door opened, and a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes stepped into the room, stepped on the carpet, and soon, the door was closed again.
Nalan Yu didn't raise his head, as if he was a servant in the palace, his subordinates were still flipping through endless memorials.
The teacup in front of him was filled.
Nalan Yu stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, and suddenly felt a strong fragrance blowing towards his face, his brows frowned, and he raised his head, only to see the three princesses standing in front of the table, holding a blue and white porcelain teapot in his hand.
"You—" Nalan Yu froze for a moment, stood up and saluted, "Nalan has seen the princess before."
"You are always so courteous..." The third princess Yun Jieyu said in a low voice, raised her eyes and glanced at the notebooks piled up in front of Nalan Yu, and sighed: "There are so many memorials, when will you see them?" Woolen cloth?"
Nalan Yu was surprised enough to see the third princess here, but when he swept his eyes, he saw that the third princess's clothes were thin, and she raised her hand casually, revealing a large snow-white arm, and immediately turned sideways, "The princess is too worried , this place is not where the princess should come, please leave the princess and don't interfere with Nalan's handling of official duties."
Yun Jieyu pursed his lips, which was a polite refusal, she was not a fool, of course she could tell.
But...but...this is also a rare opportunity for her, the queen mother said, as long as she wears this dress, as long as she stands close to him, he...he will...he will marry her at that time, she In the beginning, she was very repulsed by such and such, and even the first time at Daxiangguo Temple, the queen mother suggested this, but she was unwilling, she felt that besides this method, she had other ways to make Nalan Yu just because she liked her , so I want to marry her, instead of using this method to force him to submit.However, at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, she understood thoroughly that Nalan Yu would never like her, and would never marry her. Now she has no choice but this method.
The third princess bit her lip, her face was red, her heart was filled with shame, she shouted to her to cover her face and run away, but the strong feeling of wanting to marry Nalan Yu overwhelmed her shame, she mustered up the courage to move The tulle on her body was pulled, revealing her small collarbone and white and tender shoulders, "There is no day when this official business will be finished...why do you avoid me like a beast? In fact, your name is Nalan Yu, and my name is Yun Yun." Xie Yu, there is a word "feather" in our names, we are very destined." As she said, she stepped forward slowly and grabbed Nalan Yu's sleeve, her face became more and more flushed.
Nalan Yu's face was gloomy, he was usually reserved and handsome, although he looked gentle and kind, but he was a direct descendant of Nalan's line after all, and it was not for bragging when he became an official at the age of 15, as much as he was kind, he was as cold as he was.He waved away the third princess's hand expressionlessly, and said coldly, "I thought the princess and I had made it very clear."
The third princess wanted to cry, she had a very good appearance, but now she looked very pitiful under the light, "Nalan Yu, I... I really like you, you know..." The voice fell , went forward again, Nalan Yu was stiff all over, waved her hand away and stood a little further away, with this wave, he touched the skin of her arm again, as if being scalded immediately, her long eyebrows locked tightly Tight, "Princess, this is the Imperial Study Room, please respect yourself."
The third princess pursed her lips, her heart fluttered slightly because of the unexpected touch just now, she looked at Nalan Yu blankly: "I like you so much..."
Nalan Yu said indifferently: "Princess, the proud daughter of heaven, has a noble status, Nalan Yu dare not climb high, please don't waste time on me, princess."
She bit her lower lip tightly. Sure enough, after hearing such refusals so much, she actually felt weak. Looking at Nalan Yu's guarded look, she suddenly felt as if countless ants were gnawing and tugging at her heart. At this moment, some hatred sprouted in the bottom of my heart, and it grew crazily. The shy expression gradually disappeared, and slowly and coldly climbed onto the face. For a while, even the tone changed, "In terms of appearance and identity, where is this princess?" Worse than Yin Jieyou? How dare you ignore me like this!"
"Princess Yin Wang is my fiancée." Nalan Yu said word by word.
"Fiancée!?" The third princess looked bewildered, hating and ashamed at the same time, her delicate hands clenched into fists, suppressing the shame in her heart, and said word by word: "You think this princess is dressed like this now, and you still say Is it clear?"
Nalan Yu's expression did not change, he looked straight into the eyes of the third princess, those elegant and introverted pupils did not cause any ripples due to the spring scenery in front of him.
"If the princess is determined to go her own way, then Nalan Yu can only avoid the capital and become a monk, and the ancient Qingdeng Buddha will always be with her for life."
"you--"
The third princess was extremely ashamed and angry, and clenched her hands into fists.
Nalan Yu... Nalan Yu!
This man would rather give up his bright future, become a monk, and accompany the Buddha all his life than marry her!Even after her shameless condescension!
Ever since she was 12 years old and saw him fighting young talents from all over the world with his own strength in the Chongying Temple, his image was deeply imprinted on her heart. She admired his brilliant talent and fell in love with him even more He is handsome, introverted, mature and stable, and his voice and smile always appear when she dreams back at midnight, and she knows that in this life, she must be this man. For this reason, in the past three years, she has driven away all her opponents. He has a bit of an interesting lady, but he never imagined that it would be so difficult to get close to his heart. Even if he puts down his princess status and all his self-esteem now, he won't get too much emotion from him.
Nothing but politeness to indifference.
She stared at Nalan Yu fixedly, tears flooded unknowingly, at this moment, she suddenly remembered one thing.Isn't Nalan Yu supposed to take traditional Chinese medicine long ago?Why are you still standing there right now, with a clear mind and eyes like lightning?
wow——
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Yun Jieyu's heart skipped a beat, someone is here!She was arranged by the queen mother, and now she is disheveled and alone in the room with Nalan Yu, even if nothing happened, Nalan Yu would not be able to argue with it, right!That's it!She wanted to pull the clothes to wrap herself in a hurry, but she also slowed down in an instant, only pretending to be panicked, and hid behind Nalan Yu all of a sudden.
Nalan Yu's long eyebrows frowned slightly, and he turned his body a little sideways, keeping a distance from the three princesses, and looked up, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
"What are you doing?!"
A deep and heroic female voice sounded.
At the door, stood a woman in a white warrior uniform with a hero's bun.This woman's temples are gray and white, her eyes are like lightning, and she has a rustling air all over her body.
Nalan Yu said lightly, "I've seen Shuai Lin."
This middle-aged woman is the Marshal of Zhenbei, Lin Fanghua.
Lin Fanghua's gaze swept over Nalan Yu deeply, and when it landed on the third princess, she became cold and unpredictable. "Third princess? Deeper dewdrops, what are you doing here in the side hall of the imperial study?"
Yun Jieyu looked at the person in a daze, and for some reason, suddenly shivered.She hurriedly pulled her clothes to wrap herself tightly, "I...I..." Yun Jieyu had always been afraid of this handsome Lin, so he couldn't say a word for a while.
Lin Fanghua smelled something sensitively, and her eyes immediately became deep and cold, "Your clothes..." She looked at the two people in front of her, her heart suddenly brightened, and her expression became more and more unpredictable when she looked at the third princess. What else to say, said coldly: "Not leaving yet!"
In this whole campaign, Lin Shuai was the only one who could restrain the third princess with a single sentence.The third princess was terrified, she immediately tightened her clothes, and ran out in a panic.
Nalan Yu's expression remained the same, "Thank you Lin Shuai." But he was slightly puzzled in his heart, because Lin Shuai came here really strangely, and she didn't bring her bodyguards with her, so she was clearly taboo.
Lin Fanghua was silent and did not speak, but at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded from the corridor outside the door, frightening and frightening, it was the voice of the third princess.
Lin Fanghua's expression changed slightly, she turned around and looked for it.
Nalan Yu hesitated for a moment, but also followed out.
The two walked a few steps, and saw at the end of the corridor, the third princess was trembling all over, her face limp in horror and collapsed on the side of a red lacquered pillar, biting her lower lip, looking at something with a bloodless face.
Nalan Yu followed her line of sight, and saw a person lying on his back on the railing of the corridor. The dress should be a first-class maid, but when she got closer, she realized that the maid's eyes were turned white, and her body was covered in blood. Already out of breath.
"Qing Miao..." Yun Jieyu cried, "Who is it! Who killed Qing Miao..."
After all, Lin Fanghua was a person who had been killed on the battlefield. He had seen such scenes many times. He stepped forward and touched Qingmiao's neck, stood up and said, "Come on!"
There was a sound of armor in the dark night, and soon, a group of guards on duty came to the front, knelt down and saluted: "I have seen Commander Lin, Prime Minister!"
Lin Fanghua's eyes were deep.
"Did you see anyone suspicious?"
"This is..." The captain of the imperial guard team quickly noticed the corpse, his face was very shocked, who dared to kill people near the Royal Study Room, which is the most heavily guarded part of the palace!
"Back to Shuai Lin, prime minister, I didn't see anyone suspicious."
Nalan Yu kept staring at the corpse. He turned to the corpse, squatted down, gently touched the blood on the floor with his fingertips, picked up some sudden dirt, smelled it, got up, and walked forward go.
Lin Fanghua thought for a moment and followed.
The captain of the imperial guards gave the rest of them a message to continue to be on duty, and immediately followed.
After Nalan Yu became an official, the first official system with real power was Jingzhao Fuyin, and later he was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, until now he is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Justice, and has become the right minister of the court, and is involved in the investigation of criminals and prisons It can be said to be very familiar and smooth, and soon, following the clues in the mud and blood, the journey was ordinary.It's just that the clue suddenly disappeared after leaving the imperial garden for a while.
Lin Fanghua's already deep eyes became darker and deeper.
"Why did you stop?"
"The thread is broken."
Suddenly hearing the eunuch's singing, Empress Dowager Lin and the three princesses also came over.
The third princess was terrified when she saw Qing Miao's body. Fortunately, Queen Mother Lin kept Nanny Cui waiting nearby. After Lin Fanghua and the others followed the clues to leave and the eunuchs protected the body, they quickly informed the Queen Mother to come over.
Several people greeted the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Lin waved her hand to avoid courtesy. When she saw her sister Lin Fanghua was there, she seemed a little surprised, her eyes moved casually, "I heard that Qing Miao, Yu'er's personal maid, was killed. It's the opposite of the sky!" Looking at Nalan Yu: "It is said that the right minister seems to have a clue, why stop here?"
Nalan Yu cupped his hands: "Back to the Queen Mother, the clue is broken here." Before the words finished, Nalan Yu frowned suddenly, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, this place, this place...
Empress Dowager Lin raised her eyes and looked around, frowning: "Where is this?" The chief eunuch following behind hurriedly said: "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, the Chonghua Palace is in front of you."
A flash of color quickly flashed in Nalan Yu's eyes.
Empress Dowager Lin said coldly: "Chonghua Hall? Isn't that the residence of Concubine Mei... The clue is broken here, it's too strange!"
Nalan Yu immediately understood in his heart that the so-called clues were just bait to lure them here, and the real target of this murder case might be the people in Chonghua Palace.Sure enough, as soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she ordered: "Go, bring everyone from the Chonghua Hall to Ai's family!"
With an order, the imperial guards and servants entered the Chonghua Palace.
Nalan Yu already knew in his heart that the queen mother would not let this opportunity go so easily, but her expression remained calm as usual.
"I saw Qing Miao's corpse, and died from a sword in the throat. The sword was very fast, and the cut surface was very neat. It cannot be done by anyone who is not a master of swordsmanship. The Chonghua Palace is mostly women who have no strength to restrain a chicken. If there is a murderer hiding , I am afraid that this Chonghua Palace will not live in peace, the Queen Mother is thoughtful, and the humble minister is beyond the reach."
The Queen Mother's order was directed at the people in the Chonghua Palace, but Nalan Yu explained the Queen Mother's behavior as protecting the people in the Chonghua Palace with a few words.
Empress Dowager Lin glanced over Nalan Yu's restrained and elegant face.Speaking of which, her daughter, the third princess, has a good vision. Looking at the future, Nalan Yu is not only talented, but also handsome, and has perfect marks for both being a man and an official. Old-fashioned, do not know how to adapt.If Princess Langmeng of another family favored her, I would have already thanked my ancestors for their protection.
Now, since he is so ignorant of flattery, even if he rejects the third princess, he still has to help that bitch Mei Fei and her daughter!
Empress Dowager Lin's well-maintained eyes narrowed slightly, "According to Ai's family, there is no basis for what the right minister said. Since the clue was broken in front of the Chonghua Palace, it is expected that everyone in the Chonghua Palace is inseparable."
Nalan Yu smiled slightly, "What the queen mother said is true, everything must be based on evidence."
The third princess looked sadly at Nalan Yu's smiling face, handsome as usual, but the smile was polite and alienated, just like when she rejected her several times, the pain in her heart was so severe that the tears couldn't stop Stay tick-tock and flow down.Nalan Yu's expression changed and seeing her burst into tears, he just turned his head lightly, as if he saw green trees and red flowers, without any other emotions, the tears of the third princess came, biting his lower lip tightly, staring Big eyes looked at him.
Lin Fanghua watched coldly, except for the occasional indifferent eyes, it was difficult to see her other emotions, but she didn't leave just yet.
At this time, Wu Xuyun rushed over after hearing the inquiry.
Officer Wu Xuyun worshiped General Hussars and was also the commander of the imperial guards in charge of the [-] imperial guards in the capital. Hearing that someone was killed within his jurisdiction, he almost rushed from the mansion as quickly as possible.
The Empress Dowager had always been very displeased with the former emperor's handing over the power of the imperial army to Wu Xuyun, and because of Wu Qianyun's matter, she was angry with Wu Xuyun, so her tone was very bad.
"General Wu came very slowly."
Wu Xuyun naturally knew the queen mother's thoughts well, and said respectfully, "This humble minister is guilty."
"The Royal Study Room is originally an important place in the palace, and the imperial guards will take turns patrolling it almost in the blink of an eye. Why shouldn't even a suspicious person be seen?"
Wu Xuyun maintained the posture of saluting, and had nothing to say.
A group of imperial guards and servants came out of the Chonghua Palace quickly, but only two maids who were rough envoys were mentioned, and there were no others.
Empress Dowager Lin's expression changed slightly, "Where are the others?" Isn't today the first day of junior high school, so it stands to reason that Dugumei will definitely stay in the palace for one night.
The servant did not panic: "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, there are only these two rough envoys in the Chonghua Palace." The Empress Dowager's expression turned cold, and she immediately looked at the two maids.
The two rough emissaries were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, and said intermittently: "Originally, the concubine entered the palace when she got up early, but...just in the afternoon, she suddenly felt a little unwell, and it happened that the medicine was not with her. The Lord took the concubine and left the palace early to go back to the mansion."
Mrs. Lin's back was like frost, and many thoughts flashed through her heart quickly.
How could it be? Mother Cui made it clear just now that there is no news of the Yin Palace's carriage going out in any of the palace gates.
Nalan Yu said lightly: "Although the concubine has returned to the mansion, there are always two maids in the Chonghua Palace, so it is not very safe."
"Okay, leave the rest to General Wu."
Empress Dowager Lin was about to speak when she heard a cold female voice, but it was Lin Fanghua. Lin Fanghua's expression was indifferent, "It's best to have someone in charge of the palace's defense handle such investigations. What do you think, Empress Dowager?" Although the voice fell, his eyes glanced at the third princess intentionally or unintentionally.
The third princess trembled all over, and tightened the cloak on her body.
Empress Dowager Lin twitched her lips. Originally, she wanted to push Qing Miao's life to the Chonghua Palace, but she didn't expect that the Chonghua Palace had already been deserted. She had overcome obstacles in the harem for 20 years and climbed to the throne. After countless deaths, the strange death of a palace lady naturally wouldn't make her terrified, but she originally wanted to make a fuss about the death of this palace lady, but now it seems that it can't be done.
Nalan Yu glanced at Lin Fanghua lightly.It is known that Lin Fanghua doesn't like to meddle in other people's business the most, why did he appear in the imperial study room by such a coincidence today, and after entrusting everything to Wu Luyun, Nalan Yu caught up with Lin Fanghua in a few steps and bowed to him.
Lin Fanghua's expression was still very indifferent. Seeing him like this, she raised her eyebrows casually. "I saved Prime Minister Right's innocence. Prime Minister Right would have accepted such a great gift, but if Prime Minister Right hadn't been very focused and calm, it would have been useless for him to go sooner or later. "
Nalan Yu sneered slightly, "The general is joking." After a pause, he continued: "Nalan is very curious. Although the general and I are officials in the same dynasty, we are not close friends. Why did the general appear tonight? Still so clever?"
"I just can't understand such filthy methods."
Lin Fanghua's expression turned a little cold for a moment, and she paused for a while before saying this.Nalan Yu couldn't help thinking that Lin Fanghua was over forty years old, but she was never married. She had four daughters under her knees, all of whom were orphans adopted from the battlefield. So, it can't explain what she did tonight.
Lin Fanghua didn't give him a chance to speak again, and soon, he strode away into the night.
In the Jieyou Pavilion, Yin Jieyou listened to the story of the events that happened in the palace.Everything was as she expected.
"Acacia powder is put in the tea, but it needs to be triggered by a special kind of incense. I think the tulle on the third princess's body was scented with that fragrance. But since the young lady knew the troublemaker behind it, why didn't she retaliate , but you want to escape home by the carriage of Princess Jingning's mansion?"
Yin Jieyou didn't answer, and after a while, he said, "What's going on with Wu Luyunyun?"
Wandering said: "The defense of the palace has been strengthened, and now we are investigating the murderer."
Yin Jieyou paused slightly for holding the fan.
"If it's the murderer and the person behind the scenes, Wu Lueyun doesn't know what will happen..." Yin Jieyou frowned, imagining the scene of Wu Lueyun's violent jump, and suddenly burst out laughing, and the wanderer couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes, " Miss is still in the mood to laugh, although we have replaced the aphrodisiac medicine given by the third princess to the right minister, but the third princess did not succeed today, and I am afraid that we will use more extreme methods in the future..."
"They won't." Yin Jieyou spoke lightly, but there was a sense of confidence in her words, making people feel that as long as she said it, it must be true. It's been a while."
Liuli nodded, and suddenly remembered something, his expression became a little intoxicated and adoring for a while, "Hey, I really want to see the appearance when the right minister said that he would rather avoid the capital, and the Qingdeng ancient Buddha would always be with him for a lifetime than the three princesses , must be very handsome and good-looking. Oops—"
But at some point, Feibai came to him, gave Liuli a head shudder very bluntly, and turned to Yin Jieyou, "Princess, the right minister is here."
Yin Jieyou didn't expect him to come, but he didn't want to see him tonight, so he waved his hand to indicate that he would refuse in vain, but at this time, Nalan Yu was already standing at the door of Jieyou Pavilion, seeing Yin Jieyou leaning on him. The most comfortable posture is lying on the Xiangfei couch made of jade, holding a round fan and half covering her face, with a smile on her face, so vivid and beautiful.
"Sorry." Nalan Yu saw Yin Jieyou's lazy appearance for the first time, and turned away very gentlemanly.
Yin Jieyou was slightly startled, and turned over from the soft couch.
"It's so late, I shouldn't bother you, but I have a lot of doubts in my heart. If I don't figure it out, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night, so I took the liberty to visit late at night." Nalan Yu's words were as polite as ever. At this time, Yin Jieyou, with a beautiful complexion and a little bit of confidence, seemed to have a brilliance that made people unable to look directly at her. For the first time, he felt that he might not understand her at all.

Introduction: There was once a person who was borne by her, hurt by her, and put to death by her. Although it was extremely cruel, for her, it was an unforgettable warmth in her life.Unfortunately, she didn't wake up until she died.
Starting over, she would like to be a virtuous wife, but why are there so many unsightly things coming up to stop her?
Husband, what should I do?
The man embraced the beauty in his arms, his eyes were gentle and unparalleled, and although his words were whispered, they were extremely cold, "Chop up and feed the dogs, trample on the flowers, and do as your wife pleases."
(End of this chapter)
Lie Yan looked at her jokingly.
"Tell me, is there something you shouldn't have moved, huh?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Yin Jieyou put down his hand and rolled his eyes at Lie Yan, but he didn't know why, the word "chunxin" seemed to touch her heart. It's getting hotter and hotter.
Seeing Lie Yan's expression of watching the show, Yin Jieyou's eyes dodged a little, he drank the tea on the stone table, cleared his throat, "Well, it's a bit hot, it's autumn, why is it still so hot ?”
Lie Yan laughed, looking at the empty teacup on the table, he was a little dazed.
*
Although Concubine Mei was taken to Yin Palace by Yin Jieyou, she had lived in the palace for many years and had deep feelings for it. It happened that the new emperor was busy with government affairs and had no time to expand the harem. It has been reserved for Concubine Mei, and on the first and fifteenth day of every month, she has to go back to Chonghua Palace for one night.
It was the first day of the new year again, Yin Jieyou got up early and had nothing to do, so he entered the palace with Concubine Mei.
The two briefly took care of the flowers and plants in the greenhouse, and took some lunch. Concubine Mei felt tired, so Yin Jieyou sent her to the inner room for a nap.
"Miss."
Yin Jieyou had just closed the door when Liuli approached with a solemn expression and whispered something to her.
Yin Jieyou's expression froze slightly, "When did it happen?"
"just now."
"What about the little lady?"
"Let's go." Liuli said, "Although she said it in a low voice, I can hear it clearly, she is saying that you must be careful tonight."
"Then what's so special about her?" Reported inexplicably?Yin Jieyou frowned.
Wandering thought for a while, "It's very ordinary, nothing special. I went to find out. She is just the cleaning lady of Xinrui Palace, and Xinrui Palace is a cold palace. No one has lived in it these years. Miss, who do you think she is?" Sent?"
Yin Jieyou raised the corners of his lips playfully, and said lightly, "No matter who sent it, there will be no peace tonight."
Hearing the words, he pursed his lips and frowned.
Who is it this time?Is it the queen mother or the third princess?
Autumn days are getting shorter and nights are getting longer, and soon the sky is getting dark.
Yin Jieyou and Concubine Mei had some dinner together, let the nanny serve them, and went to the courtyard of the Chonghua Palace by himself.
Liuli had been waiting there early, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Miss, I have checked according to your order. Except for the right minister and some officials and ministers in the palace today, it may take a long time to deal with the drought. It’s nothing special to leave the palace at night.”
"Nalan Yu..."
"Ah."
At this moment, a little palace lady stepped forward with small steps and bowed to Yin Jieyou, "Princess, there is a servant from Ye Ting Prison at the door, and she wants to see the princess. Is the princess missing? No?" The servant sent her away."
Yin Jieyou's eyes moved slightly, "Yeting Prison?"
"Yes."
"Call her in."
The little Gong'e bowed again, turned and left, and a moment later, a girl dressed as a low-class servant appeared in front of Yin Jieyou.
"Qianyun has met the princess." Wu Qianyun bowed slightly, just like she used to when she was the younger sister of the Hussar General.Yin Jieyou was not in the mood to argue with her about this, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Excuse me."
"Thank you, Princess." Wu Qianyun got up, squeezed her wounded hands together tightly, her fair face was hard to hide her haggardness at this moment, her lips were still a little chapped, and Yin Jieyou was silent, and said unceremoniously: "Look Miss Lai Wu's life in Ye Ting Prison was not very good."
Wu Qianyun froze, "With my current status, I'm just a low-level servant, so I don't care if it's good or not... The Princess is just joking."
Yin Jieyou turned around and sat down with a chic posture.
"You came to look for me today, you can't just do it as a gift, right?"
"I..." Wu Qianyun bit her chapped lower lip, "I know the princess has always misunderstood me, but today there is indeed a very important matter, so I have to come to the princess..."
Yin Jieyou raised his eyebrows.
"Finally, what's the matter?" Wu Qianyun came here really strangely, could it be because of Nalan Yu?
"Yes... yes... right minister..."
Yin Jieyou glanced at her not surprised, waiting for her next words.
Wu Qianyun thought that Yin Jieyou didn't believe her, so she hurriedly said: "Although I found out about this incident by accident, it is well-founded, and it is definitely not aimless. Today coincides with the fact that the Prime Minister is still in the palace, and the Empress Dowager is involved in it." , the right side... the right side is in a worrying situation..."
"What happened to Nalan Yu?" Yin Jieyou said lightly, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. "He is the right prime minister, the youngest talent in the limelight, and he is the direct heir of the four great families of Nalan. What can the queen mother do to him? What can the third princess do to him?"
Wu Qianyun took a deep breath.
"The princess also knows how much the third princess has always thought about Prime Minister Right. During the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet a few days ago, Prime Minister Right suddenly invited the third princess to meet, and he didn't know what to say. Later, the third princess and the queen mother began to cry. "
"Miss Wu still knows the details about the third princess as always. How does she know that you also have that kind of thoughts about the right minister, and she is willing to be so close to you?" Yin Jieyou said this kind of sarcasm very smoothly, Wu Qianyun, who only stabbed, turned pale, a little embarrassed.
Wu Qianyun lowered her eyes slightly, "Whether you believe it or not, the manuscripts and scriptures in our courtyard were exchanged, and they were all wronged."
Yin Jieyou only smiled lightly and didn't say anything. She didn't believe Wu Qianyun was so smart and didn't find any clues from Lin Qiuyi's reactions. If Wu Qianyun didn't doubt Lin Qiuyi and her at all, Yin Jieyou didn't believe it. However, what Wu Qianyun said is a bit interesting.
"Since they were all wronged, why worry so much now? The three princesses on the left and right are also sincere to Nalan Yu, and you are the best friend of the three princesses, shouldn't you be happy to see what happens?"
"I... I really yearn for the right man." Wu Qianyun suddenly raised her head with a firm expression, "But I yearn for him, and it's just my own business. I know that I may have nothing to do with him, and I don't want to talk about it. It caused him trouble, so I kept it in my heart and only let myself simply yearn for it. The third princess is indeed my best friend, but I know in my heart that the right relative to the third princess has absolutely no meaning. A person like him... If he is framed by such a design, his heart will definitely be in pain. I can't just watch him fall into someone else's trap. I came to find the princess today because there is no way to ask for help at this time, and I think of the princess You and the Prime Minister are also unmarried couples, and there is some love between them."
"Since it was the queen mother and the third princess who designed the right minister, why didn't you just tell the emperor?"
"Of course I know that telling the emperor is the best way to deal with it, but... it's just me..." Wu Qianyun was silent, as if she was struggling. "Let's not mention that I am just a criminal slave in the Ye court prison, and I will never see the emperor. Even if I do, if I tell the emperor, the third princess will definitely be punished..."
Yin Jieyou still looked at Wu Qianyun indifferently.
Not to mention, she was almost confused by Wu Qianyun's tone and expression, thinking that she was such a loving and righteous woman, but it's a pity that she knows Wu Qianyun's bad nature very well, and everything she has now is nothing but Wu Qianyun's. It's just a disguise.
"What are they going to do with Nalan Yu?"
"They..." Wu Qianyun looked weird for a while, seemed ashamed, but also resentful, and said after a while, "They put some medicinal powder in the tea of the right minister, and then let the third princess go..."
Yin Jieyou frowned, and immediately understood what she meant.The empress dowager's move was really ruthless. With Nalan Yu's character, even if he doesn't like the third princess in his heart, if he and the third princess are husband and wife, he will definitely be responsible.
"I see, let's go."
Wu Qianyun bit her lower lip tightly, "The princess still doesn't believe it?"
Yin Jieyou looked up at her, "Whether I believe it or not is my business." Seeing her like this, Wu Qianyun knew that it would be useless to talk, so she saluted, then turned and left.
Liuli looked solemn, looked at the direction Wu Qianyun left, and said, "Miss, what should we do?"
Yin Jieyou's calm eyes were like an ancient well without waves.
"What she said doesn't seem to be false." Liuli said again.
"Perhaps what she said was false, but the matter of designing Nalan, no matter whether it is true or not, we must always take care of it."
Liuli nodded, "Young Prime Minister has always been kind to Miss. Miss Yin has been away from Beijing for ten years, and the Yin Palace would like to thank You Prime Minister for taking care of her all the time. Naturally, they cannot be allowed to frame You Prime Minister like this."
Yin Jieyou beckoned lightly, and Liuli immediately stepped forward, listening attentively to her instructions, and after a while, nodded clearly.
……
Inside the royal study room, the lights are bright.
The emperor sat in the middle of the seat, his young brows were serious and serious, although it was late, but he didn't look tired, his subordinates quickly attached the memorial in front of him and put it aside, and the serving eunuch took it away immediately, in exchange for Another one.
There were two rows of mahogany desks on the left and right sides of the hall. At this time, each desk was filled with documents. Nalan Yu, the prime minister on the right, was pacing left and right in the hall, waiting for the officials to calculate the amount of money needed for the disaster relief and arrange post-disaster matters.
For hundreds of years, the dynasty has been developing steadily and the country is rich and the people are strong. Decades ago, Huainan and Huaibei were suddenly hit by drought and floods. In order to relieve the victims, the imperial court opened the treasury and granaries, and at the same time raised many corrupt officials. Dirty officials, like insects and ants, ate away at the roots of this great body. Although the previous emperor worked hard to calm the disaster and rectify the administration of officials, the current situation of the new emperor is still clear, but it also left the new emperor with a serious deficit in the treasury.
Now that the disaster is so severe, but the treasury can't even get out a tael of silver, how can the emperor not worry about it!
The emperor's eyes were burning. After approving the memorial in hand, he reached out to pick it up, but there was no response.
"Your Majesty, it's over." The little eunuch waiting on one side said softly, and the eunuchs serving on both sides hurried forward to squeeze the emperor's shoulders and arms to soothe the overly tense muscles, so as not to be sore tomorrow.
The emperor was slightly startled, his eyes flickered, and fell on Nalan Yu in the lower hall.
"Nalan, how are you doing?"
"Go back to the emperor, it's about to be settled."
"How much money can we have for disaster relief?"
Nalan Yu paused slightly, "Everything that can be reduced has been reduced, and the total is only 5 taels."
"fifty thousand!?"
The emperor's sword eyebrows condensed, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"How many days is [-] enough?"
"No more than three days."
The emperor only felt a little pain in his head, and lightly pressed his forehead, and the eunuch behind him immediately took over to serve him, "How is Prime Minister Yao?"
As early as the beginning of the disaster, Prime Minister Yao was sent to Suzhou, a wealthy place, to raise relief money and food, almost a month ago.
"I just received an urgent report from Babaili this morning, and the fundraising is not going well." Nalan Yu also looked hesitant. The disaster relief is the biggest thing in the past two months, but now all the money that can be mobilized has been exhausted. It has been used, and even the cost of various parts of the palace has been reduced, but the effect is still not great, and it is less than 10 taels after squeezing.The emperor had no other choice, he just passed the edict to King Chen this morning, asking for a solution.
"What did King Chen say?"
"No reply."
The emperor felt more and more headache, even his temples were throbbing, and he closed his eyes, "I don't know what Prime Minister Yao is doing every day!"
Nalan Yu's eyes flickered, and his wide sleeves moved slightly.
"Don't worry, your majesty. The ancestors of my ministers have left some silver deposits, so let's use 10 taels for emergency first, and then mobilize the wealthy businessmen and princes in Beijing to donate collectively. You can always raise some. In this way, you can persist for half a month. When the time comes Yao Xiang's grain, grass and money should also arrive."
"Mobilizing princes, nobles, wealthy businessmen to donate money? It's easy to say, but hard to do... Hey, it wasn't enough last time, it was taken out of your private treasury. If this continues, I will go down after a hundred years, how can I have any face?" Seeing the uncles of the Nalan family...you should keep your 10 taels for now, I and the empress have some money here, so let's take it first." The emperor looked up, his expression was very grateful, he was silent, and said: " The fundraising matter... If you go, the matter will be settled long ago."
Suzhou was the most affluent place in the Qian Dynasty. There were many wealthy merchants, and the annual merchant tax accounted for a quarter of the national tax revenue. If there was no money there, how could it be possible?Prime Minister Yao worshiped as Prime Minister of the Left, and was a senior minister who had gone through two dynasties. He was shrewd and capable, so how could he not be able to manage the fundraising?The left and right are nothing more than dissatisfied with the emperor's heavy use of Nalan Yu and slowly using him aside. Now they are seizing the opportunity, delaying time, and waiting for the emperor to compromise.
Nalan Yu naturally understood in his heart, but he still talked about the matter: "It is not an easy task to raise funds for disaster relief."
The emperor waved his hand and stood up, "I'm tired enough today, I don't want to talk about these things, you guys are almost done, go back earlier, there are still many things to do tomorrow."
"According to the order."
Nalan Yu led the crowd to salute, and sent the emperor off.
The eunuch led Nalan Yu to the side hall of the imperial study, intending to rest for a while and leave the palace to return home.Nalan Yu picked up the teacup on the table, moistened his lips, his expression changed slightly, he took a look at the teacup, and then picked up the official documents to read, all the documents were nothing more than officials from the disaster area below crying for money, Feeling tired and bored for a while, I closed my mouth with a snap.
At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Nalan Yu said: "Go in."
With a creak, the door opened, and a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes stepped into the room, stepped on the carpet, and soon, the door was closed again.
Nalan Yu didn't raise his head, as if he was a servant in the palace, his subordinates were still flipping through endless memorials.
The teacup in front of him was filled.
Nalan Yu stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, and suddenly felt a strong fragrance blowing towards his face, his brows frowned, and he raised his head, only to see the three princesses standing in front of the table, holding a blue and white porcelain teapot in his hand.
"You—" Nalan Yu froze for a moment, stood up and saluted, "Nalan has seen the princess before."
"You are always so courteous..." The third princess Yun Jieyu said in a low voice, raised her eyes and glanced at the notebooks piled up in front of Nalan Yu, and sighed: "There are so many memorials, when will you see them?" Woolen cloth?"
Nalan Yu was surprised enough to see the third princess here, but when he swept his eyes, he saw that the third princess's clothes were thin, and she raised her hand casually, revealing a large snow-white arm, and immediately turned sideways, "The princess is too worried , this place is not where the princess should come, please leave the princess and don't interfere with Nalan's handling of official duties."
Yun Jieyu pursed his lips, which was a polite refusal, she was not a fool, of course she could tell.
But...but...this is also a rare opportunity for her, the queen mother said, as long as she wears this dress, as long as she stands close to him, he...he will...he will marry her at that time, she In the beginning, she was very repulsed by such and such, and even the first time at Daxiangguo Temple, the queen mother suggested this, but she was unwilling, she felt that besides this method, she had other ways to make Nalan Yu just because she liked her , so I want to marry her, instead of using this method to force him to submit.However, at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, she understood thoroughly that Nalan Yu would never like her, and would never marry her. Now she has no choice but this method.
The third princess bit her lip, her face was red, her heart was filled with shame, she shouted to her to cover her face and run away, but the strong feeling of wanting to marry Nalan Yu overwhelmed her shame, she mustered up the courage to move The tulle on her body was pulled, revealing her small collarbone and white and tender shoulders, "There is no day when this official business will be finished...why do you avoid me like a beast? In fact, your name is Nalan Yu, and my name is Yun Yun." Xie Yu, there is a word "feather" in our names, we are very destined." As she said, she stepped forward slowly and grabbed Nalan Yu's sleeve, her face became more and more flushed.
Nalan Yu's face was gloomy, he was usually reserved and handsome, although he looked gentle and kind, but he was a direct descendant of Nalan's line after all, and it was not for bragging when he became an official at the age of 15, as much as he was kind, he was as cold as he was.He waved away the third princess's hand expressionlessly, and said coldly, "I thought the princess and I had made it very clear."
The third princess wanted to cry, she had a very good appearance, but now she looked very pitiful under the light, "Nalan Yu, I... I really like you, you know..." The voice fell , went forward again, Nalan Yu was stiff all over, waved her hand away and stood a little further away, with this wave, he touched the skin of her arm again, as if being scalded immediately, her long eyebrows locked tightly Tight, "Princess, this is the Imperial Study Room, please respect yourself."
The third princess pursed her lips, her heart fluttered slightly because of the unexpected touch just now, she looked at Nalan Yu blankly: "I like you so much..."
Nalan Yu said indifferently: "Princess, the proud daughter of heaven, has a noble status, Nalan Yu dare not climb high, please don't waste time on me, princess."
She bit her lower lip tightly. Sure enough, after hearing such refusals so much, she actually felt weak. Looking at Nalan Yu's guarded look, she suddenly felt as if countless ants were gnawing and tugging at her heart. At this moment, some hatred sprouted in the bottom of my heart, and it grew crazily. The shy expression gradually disappeared, and slowly and coldly climbed onto the face. For a while, even the tone changed, "In terms of appearance and identity, where is this princess?" Worse than Yin Jieyou? How dare you ignore me like this!"
"Princess Yin Wang is my fiancée." Nalan Yu said word by word.
"Fiancée!?" The third princess looked bewildered, hating and ashamed at the same time, her delicate hands clenched into fists, suppressing the shame in her heart, and said word by word: "You think this princess is dressed like this now, and you still say Is it clear?"
Nalan Yu's expression did not change, he looked straight into the eyes of the third princess, those elegant and introverted pupils did not cause any ripples due to the spring scenery in front of him.
"If the princess is determined to go her own way, then Nalan Yu can only avoid the capital and become a monk, and the ancient Qingdeng Buddha will always be with her for life."
"you--"
The third princess was extremely ashamed and angry, and clenched her hands into fists.
Nalan Yu... Nalan Yu!
This man would rather give up his bright future, become a monk, and accompany the Buddha all his life than marry her!Even after her shameless condescension!
Ever since she was 12 years old and saw him fighting young talents from all over the world with his own strength in the Chongying Temple, his image was deeply imprinted on her heart. She admired his brilliant talent and fell in love with him even more He is handsome, introverted, mature and stable, and his voice and smile always appear when she dreams back at midnight, and she knows that in this life, she must be this man. For this reason, in the past three years, she has driven away all her opponents. He has a bit of an interesting lady, but he never imagined that it would be so difficult to get close to his heart. Even if he puts down his princess status and all his self-esteem now, he won't get too much emotion from him.
Nothing but politeness to indifference.
She stared at Nalan Yu fixedly, tears flooded unknowingly, at this moment, she suddenly remembered one thing.Isn't Nalan Yu supposed to take traditional Chinese medicine long ago?Why are you still standing there right now, with a clear mind and eyes like lightning?
wow——
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Yun Jieyu's heart skipped a beat, someone is here!She was arranged by the queen mother, and now she is disheveled and alone in the room with Nalan Yu, even if nothing happened, Nalan Yu would not be able to argue with it, right!That's it!She wanted to pull the clothes to wrap herself in a hurry, but she also slowed down in an instant, only pretending to be panicked, and hid behind Nalan Yu all of a sudden.
Nalan Yu's long eyebrows frowned slightly, and he turned his body a little sideways, keeping a distance from the three princesses, and looked up, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
"What are you doing?!"
A deep and heroic female voice sounded.
At the door, stood a woman in a white warrior uniform with a hero's bun.This woman's temples are gray and white, her eyes are like lightning, and she has a rustling air all over her body.
Nalan Yu said lightly, "I've seen Shuai Lin."
This middle-aged woman is the Marshal of Zhenbei, Lin Fanghua.
Lin Fanghua's gaze swept over Nalan Yu deeply, and when it landed on the third princess, she became cold and unpredictable. "Third princess? Deeper dewdrops, what are you doing here in the side hall of the imperial study?"
Yun Jieyu looked at the person in a daze, and for some reason, suddenly shivered.She hurriedly pulled her clothes to wrap herself tightly, "I...I..." Yun Jieyu had always been afraid of this handsome Lin, so he couldn't say a word for a while.
Lin Fanghua smelled something sensitively, and her eyes immediately became deep and cold, "Your clothes..." She looked at the two people in front of her, her heart suddenly brightened, and her expression became more and more unpredictable when she looked at the third princess. What else to say, said coldly: "Not leaving yet!"
In this whole campaign, Lin Shuai was the only one who could restrain the third princess with a single sentence.The third princess was terrified, she immediately tightened her clothes, and ran out in a panic.
Nalan Yu's expression remained the same, "Thank you Lin Shuai." But he was slightly puzzled in his heart, because Lin Shuai came here really strangely, and she didn't bring her bodyguards with her, so she was clearly taboo.
Lin Fanghua was silent and did not speak, but at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded from the corridor outside the door, frightening and frightening, it was the voice of the third princess.
Lin Fanghua's expression changed slightly, she turned around and looked for it.
Nalan Yu hesitated for a moment, but also followed out.
The two walked a few steps, and saw at the end of the corridor, the third princess was trembling all over, her face limp in horror and collapsed on the side of a red lacquered pillar, biting her lower lip, looking at something with a bloodless face.
Nalan Yu followed her line of sight, and saw a person lying on his back on the railing of the corridor. The dress should be a first-class maid, but when she got closer, she realized that the maid's eyes were turned white, and her body was covered in blood. Already out of breath.
"Qing Miao..." Yun Jieyu cried, "Who is it! Who killed Qing Miao..."
After all, Lin Fanghua was a person who had been killed on the battlefield. He had seen such scenes many times. He stepped forward and touched Qingmiao's neck, stood up and said, "Come on!"
There was a sound of armor in the dark night, and soon, a group of guards on duty came to the front, knelt down and saluted: "I have seen Commander Lin, Prime Minister!"
Lin Fanghua's eyes were deep.
"Did you see anyone suspicious?"
"This is..." The captain of the imperial guard team quickly noticed the corpse, his face was very shocked, who dared to kill people near the Royal Study Room, which is the most heavily guarded part of the palace!
"Back to Shuai Lin, prime minister, I didn't see anyone suspicious."
Nalan Yu kept staring at the corpse. He turned to the corpse, squatted down, gently touched the blood on the floor with his fingertips, picked up some sudden dirt, smelled it, got up, and walked forward go.
Lin Fanghua thought for a moment and followed.
The captain of the imperial guards gave the rest of them a message to continue to be on duty, and immediately followed.
After Nalan Yu became an official, the first official system with real power was Jingzhao Fuyin, and later he was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, until now he is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Justice, and has become the right minister of the court, and is involved in the investigation of criminals and prisons It can be said to be very familiar and smooth, and soon, following the clues in the mud and blood, the journey was ordinary.It's just that the clue suddenly disappeared after leaving the imperial garden for a while.
Lin Fanghua's already deep eyes became darker and deeper.
"Why did you stop?"
"The thread is broken."
Suddenly hearing the eunuch's singing, Empress Dowager Lin and the three princesses also came over.
The third princess was terrified when she saw Qing Miao's body. Fortunately, Queen Mother Lin kept Nanny Cui waiting nearby. After Lin Fanghua and the others followed the clues to leave and the eunuchs protected the body, they quickly informed the Queen Mother to come over.
Several people greeted the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Lin waved her hand to avoid courtesy. When she saw her sister Lin Fanghua was there, she seemed a little surprised, her eyes moved casually, "I heard that Qing Miao, Yu'er's personal maid, was killed. It's the opposite of the sky!" Looking at Nalan Yu: "It is said that the right minister seems to have a clue, why stop here?"
Nalan Yu cupped his hands: "Back to the Queen Mother, the clue is broken here." Before the words finished, Nalan Yu frowned suddenly, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, this place, this place...
Empress Dowager Lin raised her eyes and looked around, frowning: "Where is this?" The chief eunuch following behind hurriedly said: "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, the Chonghua Palace is in front of you."
A flash of color quickly flashed in Nalan Yu's eyes.
Empress Dowager Lin said coldly: "Chonghua Hall? Isn't that the residence of Concubine Mei... The clue is broken here, it's too strange!"
Nalan Yu immediately understood in his heart that the so-called clues were just bait to lure them here, and the real target of this murder case might be the people in Chonghua Palace.Sure enough, as soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she ordered: "Go, bring everyone from the Chonghua Hall to Ai's family!"
With an order, the imperial guards and servants entered the Chonghua Palace.
Nalan Yu already knew in his heart that the queen mother would not let this opportunity go so easily, but her expression remained calm as usual.
"I saw Qing Miao's corpse, and died from a sword in the throat. The sword was very fast, and the cut surface was very neat. It cannot be done by anyone who is not a master of swordsmanship. The Chonghua Palace is mostly women who have no strength to restrain a chicken. If there is a murderer hiding , I am afraid that this Chonghua Palace will not live in peace, the Queen Mother is thoughtful, and the humble minister is beyond the reach."
The Queen Mother's order was directed at the people in the Chonghua Palace, but Nalan Yu explained the Queen Mother's behavior as protecting the people in the Chonghua Palace with a few words.
Empress Dowager Lin glanced over Nalan Yu's restrained and elegant face.Speaking of which, her daughter, the third princess, has a good vision. Looking at the future, Nalan Yu is not only talented, but also handsome, and has perfect marks for both being a man and an official. Old-fashioned, do not know how to adapt.If Princess Langmeng of another family favored her, I would have already thanked my ancestors for their protection.
Now, since he is so ignorant of flattery, even if he rejects the third princess, he still has to help that bitch Mei Fei and her daughter!
Empress Dowager Lin's well-maintained eyes narrowed slightly, "According to Ai's family, there is no basis for what the right minister said. Since the clue was broken in front of the Chonghua Palace, it is expected that everyone in the Chonghua Palace is inseparable."
Nalan Yu smiled slightly, "What the queen mother said is true, everything must be based on evidence."
The third princess looked sadly at Nalan Yu's smiling face, handsome as usual, but the smile was polite and alienated, just like when she rejected her several times, the pain in her heart was so severe that the tears couldn't stop Stay tick-tock and flow down.Nalan Yu's expression changed and seeing her burst into tears, he just turned his head lightly, as if he saw green trees and red flowers, without any other emotions, the tears of the third princess came, biting his lower lip tightly, staring Big eyes looked at him.
Lin Fanghua watched coldly, except for the occasional indifferent eyes, it was difficult to see her other emotions, but she didn't leave just yet.
At this time, Wu Xuyun rushed over after hearing the inquiry.
Officer Wu Xuyun worshiped General Hussars and was also the commander of the imperial guards in charge of the [-] imperial guards in the capital. Hearing that someone was killed within his jurisdiction, he almost rushed from the mansion as quickly as possible.
The Empress Dowager had always been very displeased with the former emperor's handing over the power of the imperial army to Wu Xuyun, and because of Wu Qianyun's matter, she was angry with Wu Xuyun, so her tone was very bad.
"General Wu came very slowly."
Wu Xuyun naturally knew the queen mother's thoughts well, and said respectfully, "This humble minister is guilty."
"The Royal Study Room is originally an important place in the palace, and the imperial guards will take turns patrolling it almost in the blink of an eye. Why shouldn't even a suspicious person be seen?"
Wu Xuyun maintained the posture of saluting, and had nothing to say.
A group of imperial guards and servants came out of the Chonghua Palace quickly, but only two maids who were rough envoys were mentioned, and there were no others.
Empress Dowager Lin's expression changed slightly, "Where are the others?" Isn't today the first day of junior high school, so it stands to reason that Dugumei will definitely stay in the palace for one night.
The servant did not panic: "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, there are only these two rough envoys in the Chonghua Palace." The Empress Dowager's expression turned cold, and she immediately looked at the two maids.
The two rough emissaries were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, and said intermittently: "Originally, the concubine entered the palace when she got up early, but...just in the afternoon, she suddenly felt a little unwell, and it happened that the medicine was not with her. The Lord took the concubine and left the palace early to go back to the mansion."
Mrs. Lin's back was like frost, and many thoughts flashed through her heart quickly.
How could it be? Mother Cui made it clear just now that there is no news of the Yin Palace's carriage going out in any of the palace gates.
Nalan Yu said lightly: "Although the concubine has returned to the mansion, there are always two maids in the Chonghua Palace, so it is not very safe."
"Okay, leave the rest to General Wu."
Empress Dowager Lin was about to speak when she heard a cold female voice, but it was Lin Fanghua. Lin Fanghua's expression was indifferent, "It's best to have someone in charge of the palace's defense handle such investigations. What do you think, Empress Dowager?" Although the voice fell, his eyes glanced at the third princess intentionally or unintentionally.
The third princess trembled all over, and tightened the cloak on her body.
Empress Dowager Lin twitched her lips. Originally, she wanted to push Qing Miao's life to the Chonghua Palace, but she didn't expect that the Chonghua Palace had already been deserted. She had overcome obstacles in the harem for 20 years and climbed to the throne. After countless deaths, the strange death of a palace lady naturally wouldn't make her terrified, but she originally wanted to make a fuss about the death of this palace lady, but now it seems that it can't be done.
Nalan Yu glanced at Lin Fanghua lightly.It is known that Lin Fanghua doesn't like to meddle in other people's business the most, why did he appear in the imperial study room by such a coincidence today, and after entrusting everything to Wu Luyun, Nalan Yu caught up with Lin Fanghua in a few steps and bowed to him.
Lin Fanghua's expression was still very indifferent. Seeing him like this, she raised her eyebrows casually. "I saved Prime Minister Right's innocence. Prime Minister Right would have accepted such a great gift, but if Prime Minister Right hadn't been very focused and calm, it would have been useless for him to go sooner or later. "
Nalan Yu sneered slightly, "The general is joking." After a pause, he continued: "Nalan is very curious. Although the general and I are officials in the same dynasty, we are not close friends. Why did the general appear tonight? Still so clever?"
"I just can't understand such filthy methods."
Lin Fanghua's expression turned a little cold for a moment, and she paused for a while before saying this.Nalan Yu couldn't help thinking that Lin Fanghua was over forty years old, but she was never married. She had four daughters under her knees, all of whom were orphans adopted from the battlefield. So, it can't explain what she did tonight.
Lin Fanghua didn't give him a chance to speak again, and soon, he strode away into the night.
In the Jieyou Pavilion, Yin Jieyou listened to the story of the events that happened in the palace.Everything was as she expected.
"Acacia powder is put in the tea, but it needs to be triggered by a special kind of incense. I think the tulle on the third princess's body was scented with that fragrance. But since the young lady knew the troublemaker behind it, why didn't she retaliate , but you want to escape home by the carriage of Princess Jingning's mansion?"
Yin Jieyou didn't answer, and after a while, he said, "What's going on with Wu Luyunyun?"
Wandering said: "The defense of the palace has been strengthened, and now we are investigating the murderer."
Yin Jieyou paused slightly for holding the fan.
"If it's the murderer and the person behind the scenes, Wu Lueyun doesn't know what will happen..." Yin Jieyou frowned, imagining the scene of Wu Lueyun's violent jump, and suddenly burst out laughing, and the wanderer couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes, " Miss is still in the mood to laugh, although we have replaced the aphrodisiac medicine given by the third princess to the right minister, but the third princess did not succeed today, and I am afraid that we will use more extreme methods in the future..."
"They won't." Yin Jieyou spoke lightly, but there was a sense of confidence in her words, making people feel that as long as she said it, it must be true. It's been a while."
Liuli nodded, and suddenly remembered something, his expression became a little intoxicated and adoring for a while, "Hey, I really want to see the appearance when the right minister said that he would rather avoid the capital, and the Qingdeng ancient Buddha would always be with him for a lifetime than the three princesses , must be very handsome and good-looking. Oops—"
But at some point, Feibai came to him, gave Liuli a head shudder very bluntly, and turned to Yin Jieyou, "Princess, the right minister is here."
Yin Jieyou didn't expect him to come, but he didn't want to see him tonight, so he waved his hand to indicate that he would refuse in vain, but at this time, Nalan Yu was already standing at the door of Jieyou Pavilion, seeing Yin Jieyou leaning on him. The most comfortable posture is lying on the Xiangfei couch made of jade, holding a round fan and half covering her face, with a smile on her face, so vivid and beautiful.
"Sorry." Nalan Yu saw Yin Jieyou's lazy appearance for the first time, and turned away very gentlemanly.
Yin Jieyou was slightly startled, and turned over from the soft couch.
"It's so late, I shouldn't bother you, but I have a lot of doubts in my heart. If I don't figure it out, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night, so I took the liberty to visit late at night." Nalan Yu's words were as polite as ever. At this time, Yin Jieyou, with a beautiful complexion and a little bit of confidence, seemed to have a brilliance that made people unable to look directly at her. For the first time, he felt that he might not understand her at all.
