"In order to make things more realistic, some of the things about Concubine Xu were basically true." Feng Lanxiu said, "At that time, I was afraid that the woman would be delivered into Feng Yu's hands, so Feng Yu suspected that he would investigate. Some things are just
Really, at least what this woman saw is true."
As for things that cannot be seen, no one knows whether they are true or false.
One thing is that Xu Anjiao really appeared in this woman's matter, and now Xu Anjiao is dead.
After such contact, Feng Yian suddenly asked: "Brother, are you sure that this woman has nothing to do with Concubine Xu?"
"I'm sure it doesn't matter," Feng Lanxiu said impatiently.
"Brother, think about it carefully. If I still have something to do, I'll leave first!" Feng Yi'an was silent for a while and then said. At this point, he has said everything he can say. Next, it depends on Feng Lanxiu's own thoughts.
.
"Second brother, take care of yourself." Feng Lanxiu had a headache and waved his hand.
Naturally, he didn't tell Feng Yian the whole truth about some things. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with that woman. Although the woman was indeed very good-looking, she was just very pretty.
Feng Lanxiu originally wanted to investigate this woman's matter, but things became too busy and he couldn't spare any manpower for a while. Now that people from Dali Temple suddenly came looking for him, he was worried that something might be wrong with the woman herself, and Xu Anjiao.
In fact, this woman was not sent out of the house at that time.
But on the wedding day, someone took advantage of the rush to send her away because they were afraid that Xu Anjiao would think too much and make trouble again.
Although there is no overlap in time, it is on the same day...
Feng Lanxiu hesitated for a long time whether to send it or not, and stayed alone in the study in silence...
"Your Majesty, the Princess invites you to come over and say that we have something important to discuss." A chamberlain reported respectfully at the door.
"What's the matter?" Feng Yian asked coldly.
"The princess asked you to go over first," the chamberlain said in a sharp voice.
"Tell the princess to be there in a moment." Feng Lanxiu said, squinting his eyes with a hint of anger.
After the chamberlain retired, Feng Lanxiu sat down for a while and then took people to Zhang Wanyin's place in the inner courtyard.
Zhang Wanyin came out and saluted: "I have met the prince."
Feng Lanxiu stretched out his hand to help her and said warmly: "Princess, you are welcome."
The couple entered the house together.
Zhang Wanyin personally brought tea to Feng Lanxiu, and then said with a full smile: "I heard that the minister of Dali Temple came to the palace. I wonder if there are any clues about Concubine Xu?"
"It is true that I came to Dali Temple because of Concubine Xu's affairs, but..." Feng Lanxiu frowned at this point.
Zhang Wanyin said considerately: "Your Majesty, is there something difficult?"
"This matter concerns the queen." Feng Lanxiu said with a bitter smile, pointing to the side, "Princess, sit down and talk first."
Zhang Wanyin sat down slowly as instructed, frowned slightly, waved her hand, and everyone else in the room retreated, leaving the couple alone in the room.
After everyone else had retreated, Feng Lanxiu explained the matter. After he finished speaking, he asked gently: "The princess has been in the palace since she was a child. She used to be the escort of the seventh princess. She should know the queen very well. This
What will happen if this matter involves the Queen?"
Zhang Wanyin thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, it's best not to involve the Queen."
"Although the woman didn't know these things behind the incident, she left at the time of our wedding, and the incident with Concubine Xu happened at that time." Feng Lanxiu said distressedly, "What do you think, Princess?"
This is the meaning of asking Zhang Wanyin.
Zhang Wanyin frowned, was silent for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, can I ask you a few outrageous words?"
"explain!"
"Your Majesty, where was Concubine Yu that day?" Zhang Wanyin hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly.
"Concubine Yu is recovering from her illness."
"Is there anyone coming to the Xuanping Hou Mansion?" Zhang Wanyin continued.
"Marquis Xuanping is here." Feng Lanxiu looked unhappy. Only one person came from Marquis Xuanping, which really made him unhappy.
"Why is there only one person here? No one from the inner courtyard came to see Concubine Yu?" Zhang Wanyin was surprised.
Feng Lanxiu was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Wanyin critically. Seeing that she looked concerned but nothing else, he said vaguely: "Marquis Xuanping. Only Marquis Xuanping came over, and then he just sat down for a while.
There are many people sick in the Xuanpinghou Mansion."
"Your Majesty, is there someone from Minister Qian's house?" Zhang Wanyin asked again.
"In the residence of Minister Qian? Concubine Yu's maternal family?" Feng Lanxiu asked in return.
"Yes... she is Concubine Yu's mother-in-law... Your lord, I heard that this old lady from Shilang Qian's house had a very good reputation in the past." Zhang Wanyin said softly.
The so-called past refers to before Yu Xijiao came to Beijing. All the things that happened after that reminded people of Mrs. Qian. Even Feng Lanxiu didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Qian now.
"How is she?"
"I...I don't know if Dali Temple came to our house to investigate the matter of Concubine Xu, and I am also investigating in the house. If we can find the murderer early, we can also comfort Concubine Xu.
It can still calm the hearts of An Ming and the eldest princess, so I asked the palace to conduct a self-examination."
Zhang Wanjian spoke eloquently.
Feng Lanxiu knew about this matter. Rather than letting Dali Temple find out, he meant that it would be best if he could find out by himself. There were also many things in Prince Duan's Mansion that were not convenient for others to know. He was afraid that Dali Temple would not find out about Xu Anjiao, so he wanted to find out.
Let me know about other things.
Xu Anjiao's matter really shouldn't be delayed too long.
"Concubine Xu passed away, and Princess Ming and the eldest daughter were really sad. I heard that before, Princess Ming and the eldest daughter loved Concubine Xu the most. But now... and then she was reprimanded by the palace. I was afraid that Princess Ming and the eldest daughter would not be together.
I will give it up, and if everything is okay now, it may not be okay next time." Zhang Wanyin explained softly.
Feng Lanxiu nodded: "Did the princess find something inappropriate in Qian's house?"
"My lord, I don't know if this is the case, but there were only a few people in Prince Duan's mansion at that time. Concubine Xu was straight-tempered, and Concubine Yu was gentle and kind. They could not help but let others take advantage of the chaos, so I just left some
I checked all relevant matters and found out some things."
Zhang Wanyin said embarrassedly.
"Concubine Xu is related to Concubine Yu. I've checked my identity. I don't know... is this right?"
"You are the royal concubine. You were originally my royal concubine. If something like this happened, you naturally have to help me investigate the matter and tell you what you found." Feng Lanxiu said.
Of course he had checked it himself, but the search was in the same direction as that of Dali Temple. Now that Zhang Wanyin said this, his heart moved slightly. He had never asked anyone to check these small details.
Xu Anjiao is gone, so it is naturally impossible to investigate her again.
As for Yu Yuxi, she was weak and did not appear at that time. She only briefly asked the servants and found out that Yu Yuxi had been in her yard.
In addition, Yu Yuxi has such a sickly body. She was seriously ill before. It seems that Ming and the eldest princess were actually a little unfair. Yu Yuxi was sick before, and then she became so ill. Yu Yuxi's body is worse than before.
, but after a few days of recovery, the imperial doctor said that it was almost the same as before.
She just looked a little thinner, and the imperial doctor also said that it was possible that Concubine Yu had been feeling sad and wronged these past few days. In addition, because she was originally weak and had no intention of eating for a while, her body became even weaker.
"Your Majesty, on the day of the accident, it was Concubine Xu's parents who came to Princess Minghe's house to congratulate her. However, they only sat for a while and then left. Concubine Xu's mother came in to talk to Concubine Xu. At that time, Concubine Xu
Nothing has happened to the concubine yet, so the eldest princess Minghe will send you a congratulatory gift."
Asking Feng Lanxiu to come over, Zhang Wanyin prepared a speech and now told Feng Lanxiu everything he had found out.
Minghe and the eldest princess came to the house, and then left early.
Yu Ruiwen came to the Xuanping Hou Mansion and left early afterwards. No one entered the inner courtyard. There were no female relatives accompanying him, and naturally there was no mother-in-law.
"Two women from Shilang Qian's house came with their maids to give gifts. Mrs. Qian Shilang was not in good health and did not come. The only ones who came were the women who gave gifts." Zhang Wanyin continued.
Feng Lanxiu suddenly asked: "Not a single master from Qian Mansion came?"
Mr. Qian also has a wife and son.
"The master didn't come to the backyard. I heard that it was because Mrs. Qian's condition was not very good. People from the Qian Mansion were all attending to her illness. Because they also sent people to see Concubine Yu before, but they didn't come again this time. They only sent
Two women came over." Zhang Wanyin said vaguely.
I didn't specifically mention the matter of Minister Qian. I heard that this man was also ill.
Feng Lanxiu snorted coldly, how dare a young servant dare to do so.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Qian was injured before and she hasn't recovered yet. She is old and she should have someone around her to take care of her illness." Zhang Wanyin explained a few words for Qian Mansion.
"It's the two women who gave the gifts..."
"What's wrong with those two women?" Feng Lanxiu heard some hints and asked.
"There's nothing wrong. It's just that when I left, the person at the door seemed to feel that there was one missing person." Zhang Wanyin said.
Feng Lanxiu's expression suddenly turned cold: "What do you mean?"
"My lord, I don't know my identity very well. There were many people that day, and there were even more women coming and going. The gatekeeper said that he actually didn't know how many women came in and out, but the Qian Mansion sent two women in at that time.
He saw it when he was there, and he thought it was strange why the Qian Mansion only sent two women here."
Zhang Wanyin said.
"You're really self-righteous." Feng Lanxiu snorted coldly. He didn't like Qian Mansion's father very much. No matter from which aspect, Qian Mansion could only curry favor with him.
During my wedding, only a few servants came, which really made people dislike me, even if they were Yu Yuxi's maternal family, this was deliberately not giving me any face.
Mrs. Qian was injured. He didn't believe that everyone else was injured. No matter how bad the Xuanpinghou Mansion was, Yu Ruiwen still came. Besides, Xuanpinghou's status was not comparable to that of the Qian Mansion.
He's just a waiter, but he really thinks he can climb over himself.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Minister Qian is also ill." Zhang Wanyin explained, "I checked after my death and that's what I said."
"Let's talk about the matter of the mother-in-law." Feng Lanxiu said angrily, the illness in the Xuanping Hou Mansion has another reason, so what does the Qian Mansion mean?
Even if the Qian Mansion is true, Feng Lanxiu still feels that the Qian Mansion does not know how to praise...
