"On that day, at the request of the third lady, we first went to the brothel where she originally stayed, but the old madam said that she had not come back since she returned to her hometown to visit relatives. Then we spent money to go through the palace to prove that she had indeed entered the palace.
She once served as a tutor in the palace. But we can't find out who recommended her. We only know that she followed the path of a good concubine."
Xu Yin lightly tapped the armrest: "Now that the queen position is vacant, the three concubines in the palace are jointly in charge of the Phoenix Seal. Concubine De has the highest status because she has the second prince; Concubine Shu has the third prince and is the most favored; concubine Xian is the most favored concubine.
Among the three concubines, she was the only one who had no heirs, and her natal family was also in decline. The concubine was entrusted to the concubine through early love. The people in the palace were the best at watching what was served, and they did not dare to offend the other two concubines, so they all fed the good concubine with cows, ghosts, and snakes.
.Now that the matter has reached this point, it’s really hard to investigate further.”
Wen Yi was surprised: "The third lady knows so much about the affairs in the palace?"
He thought for a moment, then nodded in realization: "Oh, Second Young Master Yan has been here for so long, I must have found out all these things."
Xu Yin smiled and didn't refute. Just let him think so and save himself from having to explain more.
"Then what? Where did you find Xue Ru?"
Wen Yi continued to report: "This line is broken and there is no way to continue the investigation. If Xue Ru's plot failed, she will definitely hide and will not show up for the time being. My subordinates thought that it has been half a year since she returned to Beijing, so she said
There must be no clues beforehand. As a brothel girl, she is used to being glamorous and glamorous, so she is afraid that she cannot do without perfumed powder and jewelry. Therefore, her subordinates sent people to visit major cosmetics shops, embroidery shops, silver shops, etc. in the capital, and finally found a girl who matched the characteristics.
Object."
Xu Yin praised: "Wen Changshi is really resourceful. No wonder my father felt relieved when he knew you were coming."
Wen Yi smiled shyly, but felt as comfortable as if he drank ice water in June.
He has been working in Yongcheng for 20 years, but he has never followed a normal peak. The long one or two years, the short one, even before he took office, he was killed. One by one, we are counting on this.
While he was working, they wanted to squeeze him out of the center of power. If he hadn't had a strong sense of responsibility and gritted his teeth, Yongcheng would have become a den of thieves eight hundred years ago.
When he arrived in Nanyuan, he finally knew what it was like to have a normal lord. Government affairs were entrusted to him with confidence and boldness, and his subordinates all performed their duties. When something happened, he had someone to call the shots... It was really touching.
Seeing Wen Yi's heart-wrenching look, Xu Yin lowered his head and smiled, not trying to expose it.
Ever since she suffered a plot, her father had started to look away. His subordinates were so capable, why not use them more? He almost lost his life, but he had to take good care of himself...
Wen Yi continued: "That Miss Xue used to hide in an embroidery workshop. There were only women coming and going, so she didn't attract anyone's attention. But she couldn't control herself before. Every ten days and a half, she would
We went to buy some powder, ointment, and hairpin rings, and we finally discovered them."
Xu Yin nodded: "There must be a mastermind behind Xue Ru, and that is the murderer of my father. Tell them to keep an eye on them, and they must follow the clues to find the mastermind."
"yes."
…
After Xu Yin finished speaking, he went back to the backyard.
Before anyone arrived, laughter could already be heard from over there.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard gate, she saw two girls surrounding Yan Ling, one holding tea and the other handing out fruit.
Xiaoman stared at him and kept urging him: "There's more, there's more? Second Young Master Yan, keep talking!"
"Then I will..." Yan Ling said four words, glanced at her from the corner of his eye, immediately put the story behind him, jumped up and smiled at her, "You're back!"
Xu Yin: "..." There is an inexplicable feeling that a wife is waiting for her husband to return as a director. What is going on?
Yan Ling didn't think too much, so she came up to him and asked, "How's it going? How was your afternoon? No one bothered you, right? Probably not, they can't even play with you!"
Looking at the proud look on his face, I don't know what he is proud of.
"Very good." Xu Yin could only reply, and then asked him, "Why are you here?"
"Let me ask you how your day is!"
Yan Ling followed suit, but was blocked by Xiao Sang before entering the room.
"Second Young Master Yan, please go sit over there for a while. The lady will be back soon."
Yan Ling looked at her, then at the room, suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go drink tea."
She had just come back from outside, so she naturally had to change her clothes first.
Yan Ling took a sip of tea and glanced at the door again. She didn't know what she was thinking of, and her face slowly turned red.
Not long after, Xu Yin changed into ordinary clothes, came out and sat in front of him.
Xiaoman said "Hey" and asked: "Second Young Master Yan, are you very hot? Do you want a bowl of cold water?"
Yan Ling didn't dare to look at anyone, so she just waved her hands: "No, no, no, I just walked too fast, so I'm a little hot."
"oh."
He recited the scriptures silently in his mind for a while, finally returned to normal, and continued to ask her: "How do you feel about the first day of school?"
Xu Yin drank a small bowl of lychee paste, wiped the corners of his mouth, and replied: "What a waste."
"ha?"
"It would be a huge waste to teach these talented scholars."
Yan Ling laughed and said: "There are a few good ones among them, but the crown prince and the two princes are like that. Who dares to steal their limelight?"
Xu Yin thought to himself, no wonder the throne has been snatched away. It is not easy to pick out one of the three sons of the emperor who is similar.
"What about you? Zangzhuo?" She glanced sideways.
After such a day of class, except for a few young ladies who whispered about Young Master Yan’s appearance, no one mentioned him. Given Young Master Yan’s ability, this shouldn’t be the case!
Yan Ling said: "I am a martial artist. Isn't it normal for my homework to be bad? You don't know that the prince likes me to write homework for him, because the master never doubts that the homework I write is fake."
Because the level fits perfectly?
Xu Yin looked at him with sympathy: "It's hard for you."
She said this once last time, but she was more sincere this time. With Yan Ling's level, it is not difficult to do the homework, but what is difficult is that it is at the same level as the prince, and he has a very accurate grasp of the matter.
Yan Ling answered seriously: "I'm different from you. If you stand out too much, you will never leave the capital."
Xu Yin nodded.
Duke Zhao has long been a thorn in the side of the imperial family, otherwise he would not be able to be detained. His father and brother are already eye-catching. If he showed it without any scruples, let alone leaving the capital, life would not be like today.
So refreshing.
"Of course, you are right to behave like this." Yan Ling looked at her with admiration in her eyes, "Only if you behave conspicuously enough, His Majesty will not dare to act rashly, otherwise..." He will be admitted to the palace.
