After hearing what Prince Duan Feng Lanxiu had said, the emperor's eyebrows furrowed tightly. He leaned back weakly and asked in a low-spirited voice: "Is this true?"
"Father, it is indeed true. I have already seen it. It is the mark of the sword. The materials placed inside have also been thrown away, and the quantity is much smaller. Judging from the look of Prince Xin Kangbo, he really does not know what is inside this box.
There is a problem. From the outside, it looks like a whole box."
Feng Lanxiu said respectfully.
"I heard before that Prince Xin Kangbo is a good man, very talented at a young age, but now it seems... nothing more than that." The emperor said displeased.
The emperor originally didn't care about the marriage between the two palaces. The bride died and someone changed. For the emperor, the most he could do was to give the Zhengyuan Marquis a face on the surface. In order to anger the ministers, he asked the queen to come forward and reprimand him.
Just give this matter a conclusion.
But this matter involved Feng Yu and caused so much trouble. The emperor still has a headache. This bad breath came out of Chu Zihan inexplicably.
"That's what Father said." Feng Lanxiu said warmly.
The emperor groaned and took two deep breaths. He stretched out his hand and pressed his chest. He felt that his heartbeat was beating much faster, leaving him breathless for a moment.
"Your Majesty!" The chamberlain beside him hurriedly brought tea.
The emperor hurriedly took it, and the cold tea went into his throat, and there was tea overflowing from the corners of his lips. Only then did he feel a little better, and his heartbeat in his chest was not so violent.
The chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the veil. The emperor wiped it carelessly and threw it to the chamberlain.
"Father, how do you think this matter... should be handled?" Seeing the emperor's irritated look, Feng Lanxiu said cautiously. He should not anger his father at this time, otherwise he would be easily offended.
This is coming at a really bad time.
"What did Feng Yu say?" The emperor calmed down a little and asked.
"What Feng Yu means is that tomorrow he will make a confession and ask Father to investigate the matter strictly." Feng Lan Xiu said.
The emperor remained silent and did not express his position directly. After a while, he said: "He has gone to the Queen Mother now?"
"Yes, I met the Queen Mother's person just after I came back, and he went directly to the Queen Mother's place." Feng Lan said, a faint look flashed in his eyes. He was clearly the Queen Mother's eldest grandson, but what the Queen Mother cared about most was not
I feel depressed whenever I think about this.
It's still that I'm not strong enough. If I were strong enough, why would I feel so aggrieved? My mother-in-law wouldn't be forced to be indifferent to others all the time, or even dare to compete for favors.
"Let him go to court tomorrow to talk about this." The emperor leaned his head back and closed his eyes.
The chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward and carefully massaged the emperor's forehead from behind, soothing his twitching tendons with a familiar technique.
"Father..." Seeing that the emperor agreed so easily, Feng Lanxiu was shocked and said hurriedly.
The emperor stretched out his hand and shook it, interrupting him: "You go down first, and I will think about it again. If there is no change... let him do it."
"But...will this matter have any negative impact?" Feng Lanxiu reminded.
"Go down first, I understand." The emperor said hoarsely, his voice sounded lackluster, but there was a faint blush on his face, and he seemed to be in good spirits.
Feng Lanxiu knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he could only retreat.
When I arrived at the door, I met Concubine Ning coming with several palace maids. A faint smile appeared on her face: "I have met Concubine Ning."
"Prince Duan is polite. Is your Majesty discussing matters?" Concubine Ning's beautiful face was filled with a smile.
"Father is resting now and is not discussing matters." Feng Lanxiu said gently.
Concubine Ning stretched out her hand and patted her towering chest gently: "That's good. Fortunately, the emperor is not discussing matters, otherwise it would disturb the emperor's rest again."
Feng Lanxiu's eyes followed Concubine Ning's hand for a moment, then moved away politely, bowed deeply to Concubine Ning, turned around and walked away with others. He would go to pay homage to Marquis Xuanping the next day, so he had to pay homage to Concubine Ning first.
Before the He Banquet, he went to express his sincerity to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, so as not to be tampered with and ruin his important affairs...
Yu Lanyun opened the side door and stumbled when she saw Qingyue guarding the door, almost falling.
This door was for the convenience of the Ning family and the Qian family, but Yu Lanyun had never knocked on the door.
Qingyue hurriedly supported Yu Lanyun.
"Clan sister...where are you now?" Yu Lanyun grabbed Qingyue's hand in panic and lowered her voice, seeing that her face was not good.
When Yu Xijiao left Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, she saw Yu Lanyun peeking secretly in the yard not far away, and asked the maid to go over and specifically tell her that she could come and knock on the door today, but only today.
Now it is indeed here.
"Fourth girl, please come with me." Qingyue took Yu Lanyun to a nearby empty attic. Compared with the scenery of Zhengyuan Marquis' Mansion, the scenery of Xuanping Marquis' Mansion was more exquisite, but the area of the two mansions was smaller.
They are almost the same, one is a house given by the emperor to the new rich at that time, and the other is an old family with a long history, and it was once the official residence of the prince-in-law.
Qingyue asked the little maid next to her to invite Yu Xijiao, and she led Yu Lanyun up to the attic. There were several plates of snacks placed on the balcony next to the back window of the attic. Qingyue asked Yu Lanyun to sit down first and poured a glass of water.
When he arrived in front of Yu Lanyun, he said to Yu Lanyun who was still in shock: "Four girls, wait a moment. We girls guess that Fourth girl is coming. We are going to serve tea and cakes first. You can use some first."
The tea was still very hot in the mouth, which made Yu Lanyun feel a little at ease.
"Fourth girl, the pastries are just right, would you like to use one?" Qingyue asked diligently, not panicking because of Yu Lanyun's panicked look.
"No... no need, I'll wait first." Yu Lanyun said in a hurry.
The maid who was following her looked very uneasy. She raised her head and looked around, then hurriedly hid behind Yu Lanyun, not daring to express her anger.
Yu Xijiao came very quickly, and Yu Lanyun only waited for a while when he heard the sound of the stairs below, and Yu Lanyun stood up uneasily.
Seeing Yu Xijiao appear at the stairs, Yu Lanyun hurriedly stepped forward: "Clan sister... Clan sister..."
Before he could speak, his eyes were already red. He looked at Yu Xi with tears in his eyes, and suddenly bowed deeply: "Sister, save me!"
Yu Xijiao leaned slightly to avoid Yu Lanyun's gift, looked at her, and smiled slightly: "Sister Clan, shall we sit down and talk?"
"Okay...yes...it was me who messed up." Yu Lanyun said awkwardly.
Yu Xijiao came to the platform and sat down in front of the chair. Yu Lanyun followed her and sat down uneasily.
Just as he sat down, Yu Lanyun said impatiently: "Sister, please save me, you must have saved me...otherwise...otherwise I really won't be able to survive."
As he spoke, he wiped away tears again, his face was frightened and uneasy, and he knew that something had happened.
Yu Xijiao picked up the teacup handed over by Qingyue, took a sip, then slowly put it down, her eyes fell deeply on Yu Lanyun, suddenly smiled slightly, and said straightforwardly: "Sister Clan...I'm afraid I can help you."
No."
"Can't be saved?" Yu Lanyun could hardly believe her ears. She looked at Yu Xijiao in astonishment, pursed her lips a few times, murmured to herself, and straightened her eyes, "Clan sister... you... how are you?
I can't save you, but you are the only one who can save me now. You... didn't you also tell me to come to you?"
This is completely different from what she imagined. Shouldn't she comfort herself at this time and ask herself what happened? If she had the ability, she would definitely help her?
"Sister, she is the legitimate daughter of the third eldest daughter of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. She is also the only legitimate daughter left in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. In terms of close relationship, she is actually the same as the second eldest daughter of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. Now that the eldest daughter is gone, the third eldest daughter is
Shouldn't the first house be divided equally with the second house? If it's something that even the elder sister can't solve, I'm afraid that I, the third girl who just arrived at the Xuanping Hou Mansion, will also be of no help."
Yu Xijiao took another sip of tea and said with a smile.
"But... but Sister Clan didn't make people wait for me to come over before..." Yu Lanyun stammered, not caring about crying and complaining, and looked at Yu Xijiao in shock.
"I think the clan sister is a smart person. Now that the second eldest brother in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is not in power, he should think that the third ward is in power and has gone out of his way to befriend the clan sister. But if it concerns the clan sister's life, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.
"
Yu Xijiao laughed. Yu Lanyun was actually not that timid. The look in front of her was just for others to see. In her last life, she and Yu Lanyun were cousins. There were some things that Yu Lanyun thought others didn't know, but in fact she had always seen them.
However, I felt that Yu Lanyun was also protecting himself, so he would not interfere in other people's affairs.
Yu Lanyun blinked, then blinked again. Yu Xijiao refused so quickly, and what she said was completely different from what she imagined. She didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, she said: "Sister, I... thought
You will help me...you will help me, but originally...I was wrong."
As he spoke, he shed tears of grievance.
Yu Xijiao's lips curled up slightly and she smiled: "The clan sister also knows that I am the clan sister, and I am just the younger sister. The clan sister's status has long been different from what it used to be. She is also my clan sister. How could she think that I have the ability to help?"
You? But if the clan sister really has any small difficulties, I can actually help."
"Can the tribe sister help me?" Yu Lanyun suddenly raised her head, thinking that Yu Xijiao was relieved, and looked at her excitedly and promised, "If the tribe sister can help me, I will definitely treat the tribe sister badly from now on.
No matter what the clan girls ask for in the future, I will definitely agree to it."
She said this with great sincerity, and coupled with Yu Lanyun's excited eyes, it made people feel that she was sincere.
The smile on Yu Xijiao's face remained unchanged, and her expression remained indifferent. She only raised her eyes, and Yu Lanyun's excited face was reflected in her full eyes: "Sister Clan knows, I guess Sister Clan will come to me, so
When I went to find Sister Clan, I already understood...but the final result does not depend on me, but on Sister Clan."
"Clan... clan sister..." Yu Lanyun was tongue-tied, and the smiling Yu Xijiao in front of her made her panic inexplicably.
The smile on Yu Xijiao's face slowly faded, and her eyes became colder: "Sister clan... do you really want me to save you? Don't you think I really expected many things!"
