Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 264 Night Comes Without Dreams
It's freezing and snowy outside, but it's warm as spring inside.
Emperor Yu was holding a hand stove and sitting on the couch, while Eunuch Dexi stood by his side with a calm face.
The door opened, and Yu Fengjin walked into the house with her head lowered and her eyes narrowed. She bowed respectfully and said, "My brother, I sincerely welcome your majesty!"
Emperor Yu raised his eyes to look at him and asked lazily: "Have all the matters in Lingzhou been settled?"
Yu Fengjin held up a confession letter with both hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything has been verified clearly. Cai Youde and his men knew that they had committed serious crimes and had no shame to face Your Majesty. They committed suicide in prison to apologize!"
Emperor Yu took the confession, glanced at it lightly, and put it aside: "What happened? Why did Cai Youde intend to rebel? How did he collude with the local garrison? Why did he get involved in the Jianghu?
organize?"
Yu Fengjin collected her thoughts and said slowly: "Back to the emperor, after a detailed investigation by my brother, I found that Cai Youde only accepted bribes, did not report the knowledge, and did not commit any rebellion. The actual people who controlled all this were Ma Huilan and
Her cousin Ma Sanbao."
He avoided the important and did not mention the caravan and the iron ore.
Emperor Yu said expressionlessly: "How did I hear that there seems to be an iron mine in Ma Sanbao's garrison base. Not only is he secretly forging weapons, but he is also making dragon robes privately. Is this true?"
King Yi was slightly startled and looked at Eunuch Dexi beside him. He nodded slightly.
It seems that someone told Emperor Yu about what happened here.
Yu Fengjin was not in a hurry, and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, because everyone in the garrison base was silenced, and there was another fire in the iron mine that caused an explosion, so the dragon robe and weapons were not found. What happened in this matter
The mastermind Ma Sanbao has died, so this matter cannot be verified."
Emperor Yu glanced at him and asked, "Cai Youde didn't mention this either?"
Yu Fengjin pondered for a moment and then said cautiously: "After several interrogations, he remained silent on this matter. He must have known that corruption was a small matter and rebellion was a big matter. He was afraid of implicating the nine tribes, so he decisively wrote a confession and committed suicide.
"
Emperor Yu frowned slightly and said slightly displeased: "So, everyone who knows the truth is no longer alive?"
Yu Fengjin hesitated for a moment and then said carefully: "No, there is actually another person who knows the whole truth. It's just that I was afraid of alerting others, so I didn't bring this person to trial. I hope your majesty will forgive me!"
"Who is this person?" Emperor Yu raised his eyebrows, deeply surprised.
"Ma Huilan!" Yu Fengjin slowly said these three words and lowered her eyelashes.
Emperor Yu's face immediately changed color.
He picked up the teacup on the side, used the cup lid to pluck the tea leaves on the water, and said casually: "It seems it's time to go see her."
Yu Fengjin saw the right opportunity, lifted her robe, knelt down, and bowed her hands: "I have a request, and I hope your majesty will grant it!"
Emperor Yu was slightly startled and twitched his lips: "What's the matter that makes you pay such a big courtesy?"
Yu Fengjin said solemnly: "After the mining rights of this iron mine came into my hands, I never came here once, and there was no one available to help me take care of it. It was precisely because of my lack of management that I
It almost caused a disaster! Your Majesty, please take back the mining rights from my brother!"
Emperor Yu was not surprised at all when Yu Fengjin made this request.
Because Yu Fengjin is such a person who doesn't like to get involved in right and wrong and stays out of everything.
"Get up, I don't blame you for this!" Emperor Yu smiled lightly, very satisfied with his performance.
Yu Fengjin quickly stood up and stood aside carefully, waiting for instructions.
Emperor Yu sighed and said: "Put the iron ore thing aside for now. Now it's time to go see that woman!"
----------------------------------------
After saying goodbye to Emperor Yu, Yu Fengjin hurried to Lu Ning's room.
The serving maid said that after she woke up, she ate something and fell asleep again.
Yu Fengjin pulled up a chair, sat beside her bed, looked at the sleeping girl, and sighed softly: Judging from her peaceful and down-to-earth look, she must have not slept like this for a long time.
He covered her with the quilt and couldn't help but reach out and touch her pretty face.
A violent cough sounded, and Lu Ning opened his eyes suddenly and struggled to sit up.
Yu Fengjin quickly helped her up, patted her back, and said softly: "The doctor said you have cold in your body and you need some time to nurse yourself back to health."
The coughing gradually stopped, and Lu Ning leaned against the bedpost, closing his eyes lightly, his breath still a little unsteady: "Your Highness, why are you here? Where is the maid?"
Yu Fengjin took the medicine bowl on the side and brought it to her lips: "What, does seeing me make you so uneasy? Drink the medicine quickly!"
Lu Ning's face turned red, she felt panicked, and drank up the medicine in a few sips.
When the snowflakes fluttered into the window, Lu Ning and Yu Fengjin were sitting opposite each other on the bed, saying a thousand words but being relatively speechless.
Yu Fengjin glanced at her and said with a smile: "Have you ever thought about me these days?"
Lu Ning hugged his knees, sat in the corner, and said with a smile: "Yes. I often dream about His Highness, but we... always look at each other in silence."
Seeing her uncertain expression, Yu Fengjin felt a little embarrassed and smiled softly: "Is it the same as now? You sit on the bed and I sit on the edge of the bed. It seems like there are thousands of rivers and mountains between us!"
Lu Ning bit her lower lip and murmured, "Your Highness, are you doing well these days?"
Yu Fengjin smiled and teased: "The bride ran away during the wedding and had to temporarily replace her, what do you think?"
Lu Ning looked uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Your Highness, although the mastermind behind this incident is from the caravan, the rest of the caravan did not know about it and did not participate in it. I hope your highness can forgive them...
...the crime of trespassing on the legal grounds!"
Yu Fengjin looked at her deeply and sighed quietly: "Actually, the emperor is here this time, so I can't make the decision in this matter now. Everything must be obeyed by the emperor."
Lu Ning's heart sank and he looked worried: "The emperor is here? He will definitely not let us go easily. What should we do..."
Yu Fengjin raised the corners of her mouth slightly and gently took her hand: "Don't worry, I am with the Emperor. I will try my best to mediate. It is impossible to make them innocent, but at least their lives will be saved!"
"Really?" Lu Ning's face lit up with joy. He grabbed King Yi's sleeve and asked excitedly, "Can Your Highness really save their lives?"
Yu Fengjin smiled, caressed her face, and said softly: "You almost risked your life for me, how could I just stand by and watch what happened to you."
His gentleness made Lu Ning uneasy. She turned away and lowered her eyes, asking softly: "Your Majesty...does he know about the iron ore?"
The gentle voice above his head recalled: "Well, there is nothing in this world that can be hidden from the emperor. However, he is not here for this matter. There is an old matter waiting for him to resolve, which can be regarded as blocking the iron mine for me.
Things.』◥...▃▂
"Old things?" Lu Ning looked up at him: "But is it related to Ma Huilan and the eldest prince?"
Yu Fengjin was suddenly startled: "How did you know this?"
Lu Ning's eyes flashed and he lowered his voice and said: "That day in the mine, Ma Huilan personally admitted that she and Ma Sanbao wanted to support the eldest prince to ascend the throne. Before Elder Yun died, he said that Ma Huilan had a secret that had been hidden for eighteen years.
, related to the royal family, so I guess she may be the eldest prince’s biological mother..."
Yu Fengjin's face suddenly changed, and she said in a deep voice: "This woman who doesn't care about life and death is so unabashed about her ambitions! Who else has heard about this?"
Lu Ning said hesitantly: "All the officers and soldiers present heard it, including Magistrate Cai, Totuo and Hu Qi..."
Hearing Hu Qi's name, Yu Fengjin's eyes gradually deepened: "This matter is the emperor's secret. You have to ask Tuotuo and that Hu Qi to forget all this and not to mention it to anyone again. Otherwise, they will cause trouble."
Come and cause death!"
Lu Ning saw his expression and became nervous: "What kind of person is the emperor? Is he... really murderous?"
The look in Yu Fengjin's eyes was complicated: "Which emperor's hands have not been stained with blood? Anyone who wants to challenge the imperial power is seeking death. Emperor Yu is just smarter and more suspicious than ordinary emperors.
, it’s just more ruthless.”
----------------------------------------
A month ago, a small farmhouse was built halfway up Fengming Mountain.
There are three farmhouses in the courtyard, and two flaming red wintersweet trees are planted there.
On the hillside in the backyard, there was a new tomb at some point, and the stone tablet was engraved with "The Tomb of Ma Sanbao".
Every day, a bouquet of blooming wintersweet is placed in front of the grave.
Heavy snow was falling from the sky, flying to the ground, and the snow on the mountains was already up to the knees.
At the foot of the mountain, two people, one tall and one short, were walking up the mountain slowly, one foot deep and one foot shallow, wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs and holding a wooden stick in their hands. They were Ye's father and son.
The father and son stopped in front of the yard and saw that heavy snow had half buried the yard door, so they started to shovel away all the snow.
The two pushed open the door and walked to the house. Ye Qingfeng raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Mom, I'm here!"
After a while, the door was pushed open.
A woman wearing a red coat and green skirt, with her hair neatly combed into a bun, opened the door and walked out.
Seeing the two people outside the door, she smiled sweetly: "Why did you come here in such a cold weather! Come in quickly and warm yourself up by the fire!"
With that said, he took the father and son into the house.
It had been a long time since I had seen Ma Huilan. Ye Guming couldn't help but feel his heart pounding when he saw that she was still as charming as ever.
When he closed the door, he glanced at the blooming plum blossoms outside the door, and his face was filled with a joyful smile.
The fire in the house was burning brightly, and the father and son took off their heavy coats and sat cross-legged on the kang to warm themselves.
Ma Huilan got a pot of boiled shochu, filled two bowls for the two of them, and brought a few dishes of side dishes to go with the wine.
"Hurry up and have a sip of wine to warm yourself up! You can go back after dinner later!"
Ye Guming picked up the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and wiped his mouth: "You're not busy, we're just here today to help you do more work before we leave!"
Ye Qingfeng also drank a bowl of wine before he jumped up from the kang and took two baskets from the ground: "Mom, we went to the market specially to buy some food! Let's see if you like it.
!」
As he spoke, he took out everything in the basket one by one.
Ma Huilan didn't look at those things, but pulled her sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "No need to be busy! I like everything Feng'er bought!"
Ye Qingfeng smiled charmingly: "If mother is happy, Feng'er will come to see you often in the future, okay?"
As he said that, he blinked at Ye Guming.
Ma Huilan smiled happily and said: "Of course, Feng'er can stay with me as long as he wants!"
Seeing his son's hint, Ye Guming jumped up from the kang and walked behind Ma Huilan.
A red face turned purple due to nervousness. He took out a phoenix hairpin from his arms and gently put it on Ma Huilan's bun.
Ma Huilan was startled, raised her hand and touched Feng Chai: "Brother Ye, what is this?"
Ye Guming said nervously: "This...this is...it's Feng'er, no, no, it's me..."
Ye Qingfeng quickly interjected: "Mom, this is the Feng Chai chosen by my father. He thought it suited you very well, so he bought it and wanted to give it to you!"
Ma Huilan's cheeks fluttered, and she said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Ye! I really like it!"
Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the harmonious atmosphere between his parents. He only hoped to work harder so that the two could get back together as soon as possible.
Ma Huilan turned around to cook, and both father and son rushed over to help.
After a while, several delicious and delicious meals were served on the table.
The family of three sat cross-legged on the Kang around the table.
