I wonder if I can find out why.
Guan Li Zaiyu's complexion showed that he wanted to settle accounts with Qiuhou, and if the person behind this was found out, he would be severely punished.
She doesn't care, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her, so I don't know if anyone present is worried.
Half an hour later, the internal officer hurried over, approached Li Zaiyu and whispered something in Li Zaiyu's ear.
The voice was very low, and the surroundings were very noisy, even the queen who was sitting next to Li Zaiyu might not be able to hear what the internal official said clearly.
Ordinary people can't hear it clearly, but advanced monks can faintly hear it.
Seeing that Li Zaiyu's face changed drastically, Xian Yu tilted her ears slightly, only hearing a few vague words from the courtier.
"The stables...the strange fragrance...caused by...Pinxiangfang..."
She frowned slightly, strange fragrance?
A thought popped up suddenly, and before he could think about it carefully, Li Zaiyu cast a sideways glance at Li Qingning.
She thumped in her heart, she had calculated thousands of times, but she didn't realize that the person behind the scenes wanted to pour dirty water on Li Qingning.
Thinking of this, Xian Yu raised his eyes and stared at Li Qing, only to see that Li Qingning's dark pupils trembled slightly, as if he had also heard the minister's words.
The courtier said a few words to Li Zaiyu, then approached Li Qingning, raised his hand to cover his lips halfway, and whispered in Li Qingning's ear, "His Royal Highness, please go with the old minister."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, her face as cold as frost, she put down her jade chopsticks and walked away with the courtier.
Most of Xian Yu's heart was twisted, but it was really hard to leave now that everyone was watching.
After the banquet was over, she found a reason to dismiss King Fengxian and left first.
Following the path in memory, she found the stable, but there was only a boy guarding the stable outside, and she couldn't smell the strange fragrance from the minister's mouth, and it seemed to have dissipated.
In a hurry, she stepped lightly on the blue tiles on the high wall, and after a while, she arrived at Dali Temple. There was no one in the main hall and side chambers, but there were two people faintly in the interrogation room. Presumably, the minister should know Bring Li Qingning here for interrogation.
Fortunately, there was no guard outside the house, so she waited for the opportunity to enter, and only walked in through the main entrance after the interrogator in the house came out.
Light suddenly poured into the dark interrogation room again, and that ray of light climbed up the stone slab on the ground, and then fell along the crude wooden table onto the face of the person sitting in front of the table.
Sitting among them, Li Qingning narrowed her eyes slightly, her red lips moved slightly, and suddenly stopped when she was about to speak.
She thought it was her interrogator who had returned, but unexpectedly, a figure of vermilion squeezed in outside the door.
The man came against the light, closed the door behind his back, and then walked lightly in front of her.
None of the instruments of torture in the room were touched, and the table was clean, but there were dozens of porcelain vases.
Xian Yu's heart trembled, he gritted his teeth and said, "Li Zaiyu wants to kill you?"
Seeing the man in red approaching lightly, and gritted his teeth again when he spoke, Li Qingning's slightly frowned brows eased, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she actually smiled.
Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized that what was in the porcelain bottle should not be some kind of poison, her ears felt slightly hot, and then asked: "What's in the bottle?"
Li Qingning did not answer immediately.
She never thought that Xian Yu would come, she never imagined that the person in her dream who had flung his sleeves and left after being heartbroken by her would still come to her door now.
It can be seen from scene to scene in the dream that she treats Xian Yu badly in every possible way, even if she has some merits, how can He De make this person tireless in every possible way.
After a long time, Li Qingning asked without answering, "You..."
Xian Yu put his hands on the table, lowered his eyes to look at the eldest princess who was sitting on the other side of the table, who was hesitant to speak.
"What does your Highness want to say? Could it be that you have to ask Gu, I don't want to raise that beast slave for you." Xian Yu sighed.
Li Qingning: ...
As soon as she heard it, she knew that this person was the one who was brooding over the matter of the other party's banquet, so she moved her lips and said, "No."
The voice stopped abruptly, and she pursed her lips slightly again.
There must be something to say, if you don't say it, it will be like in a dream, the two will drift away, but how to say this...
After a long time, she said slowly: "I want to ask, did you also have those dreams?"
After saying this, her throat was already a little tight, and her heart was hanging high.
Hearing this, Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, she could vaguely guess what Li Qingning had dreamed about, but she never thought that Li Qingning would mention it herself.
There was a slight warmth in her ears, she always felt a little embarrassed to say this in the interrogation room, and Li Qingning really changed in her heart, far from the reserved and self-respect of her previous life.
It's not that she hasn't dreamed about it before, it's just that she has dreamed about it recently, after all, she was in the body of a child before, so dreaming about those things should be more or less inappropriate.
After a while, she saw that Li Qingning's complexion was as usual, still looking like an unattainable bright moon, and she thought to herself that she had to be more self-restraining, and she must not bite upwards just because she was given a hook.
Li Qingning waited for a long time but did not hear Xian Yu's answer. Her breathing was slightly stagnant, and when she was about to ask a question, she saw the man in red in front of her slowly retracting her hands that were propped on the table.
The man in red folded his arms and said with a smirk: "Even if I am dreaming, I will not change the body of the people around me in my dream. If you are thin, you will be thin, and if you are weak, you will be weak. A weak-boned beauty is replaced by a body as strong as an ox."
Chapter 46
46
The eldest princess who was brought into the interrogation room was not in the slightest embarrassment, opened her eyes slightly after hearing this, took a deep breath, and then said with difficulty: "This Palace has never been like this before."
Xian Yu was dubious.
After a while, Li Qingning woke up like a dream, pretending to be calm and said: "During the banquet, Fangxin was talking nonsense."
Seeing that her eyes did not flicker, Xian Yu didn't know whether she was telling the truth or a lie. After all, anyone who knew Li Qingning well knew that this person liked to talk about people, he talked nonsense, and he was very good at playing tricks.
She thought about it for a moment, and she leaned slightly, looking at the person on the other side of the table almost at the same level, and said unhurriedly: "Then your highness, tell me what kind of dream you had."
The sounds of the words jumped out of the lips and teeth one by one, the voice was soft and slow, as if a needle was hidden in the cotton.
When she was talking, she had already expected what kind of embarrassment Li Qingning would show, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingning's pupils shrank slightly, and even her hands that were lying flat on the table were slightly tightened. Seeing that her ears and cheeks were not flushed, her face turned pale.
Xian Yu didn't understand, are these dreams so scary.
Thinking about it, it was really scary. Those dreams were very voluptuous, and the people in the dreams were people I had never seen before. It was like being entangled by a ghost, and everyone would be a little scared.
Besides, who is the eldest princess? For more than 20 years, she has been abstinent and busy with scheming all day long. Outsiders seem to be quite elegant and dignified. When asked about these things in person, she will definitely feel unbearable, and she will turn pale when she feels unbearable.
"Why does Your Highness show such an expression? Could it be that he had some unspeakable dreams." She raised her eyebrows and said.
Hearing this, Li Qingning couldn't help thinking of the scene in the dream where the two parted ways, and finally she was shot to death by random arrows. Thinking of these, she was still a little scared.
It's not that she is afraid of death, she is living a good life now, everything can be reversed, so she is not afraid of death.
It's just that she didn't express her heart clearly until she died, and it seemed a bit difficult to calm down.
It's really hard to understand.
She raised her eyes and looked at Xian Yu's haughty look, who obviously didn't care about anything, but still lived a lifetime and still hanged on her tree, very stubborn.
If he wasn't stubborn, how could he intentionally choke her with what Fangxin said at the banquet.
Although she is not a crooked neck tree, it doesn't matter if she hangs it.
In the dark interrogation room, Li Qingning tapped lightly with her hand on the table.
Her heart was in a mess, and she couldn't figure out what Xian Yu was thinking.
Seeing that she didn't say a word, Xian Yu approached her a little closer, almost lying on the table.
Her lips covered with light gauze slipped past Li Qingning's side cheeks, and the slightly warm breath faintly fell on Li Qingning's ears through the gauze.
The voice is delicate and soft, and the voice is very light.
Li Qingning didn't move, she just felt that the voice close to her ears sounded very erratic, as if she had imagined it.
"Why isn't your Highness talking?" Xian Yu said.
Only then did Li Qingning move her lips, "It's you, what do you think this palace dreamed about?"
Xian Yu raised her eyebrows: "Isn't it just some romantic and interesting things?"
Li Qingning's forehead twitched.
No wonder she felt that the person in front of her spoke in a weird way and looked weird during the conversation. So, so...
My mind is full of inappropriate things!
Xian Yu was so close that even Li Qingning's eyelashes could be clearly seen. Just as she was about to continue looking at her, the person in her eyes suddenly turned her head and looked straight at her.
She chuckled lightly, and was about to tease her again, when she suddenly noticed something was wrong, and said angrily: "It's obvious that I am asking His Highness, but His Highness is asking me the other way around?"
Li Qingning remained silent.
Xian Yu really wanted to take off the serious mask of the person in front of her, and the little thought in her heart was like a budding vine desperately climbing up, as if entangled her lips and tongue.
She sneered desperately, and said word by word: "In your highness's dream, is this seat wearing a red dress with a soft body? What did this seat say in the dream, is it the same as now, in the ears of your highness?" Whispering."
"..." Li Qing kept his eyes fixed, and it was hard to deny it for a while, after all, it was true.
But her plain neck moved slightly, and it took a long time to squeeze out a word from between her lips and teeth, "Yes."
Xian Yu smiled: "Then what did His Highness do to me in the dream?"
Li Qingning couldn't bear it anymore, this time her ears really warmed up a little, and her breath was so chaotic that she could hardly hold it back.
She slowly took a deep breath, frowned and said: "What have you been thinking all day long!"
Xian Yu choked up for a moment, "It's not my dream, why did His Highness beat you down?"
Li Qingning was silent for a long time, and suddenly understood.
She suddenly remembered that when she was still on Weifeng Island, one day before returning to the capital, the man in red in the dream seemed to have suddenly changed his appearance, and she thought about how she met later in the capital. her dream? !
No wonder, no wonder Xian Yu knew that he had dreamed of her, clearly in secret.
"You fell into my dream?" Li Qingning said unhurriedly.
Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly, "Not bad."
After a while, she chewed the words slowly, "Your Highness really surprised me, that time I actually took off my clothes in my dream, Your Highness really..."
Maybe it's because of her frailty, her breathing is not as smooth and powerful as ordinary people's, and even her voice is soft.
When I was young, it was like a magpie singing, but now that I am a little older, it is more like a thin string singing.
Li Qingning lowered her eyes, her heart seemed to be plucked, and her eyes fell on the tulle covering Xianyu's face.
That half of the face was obscured, only the shallow lips were vaguely moving.
"It's true that the real person doesn't show his face." The lips moved again.
Li Qingning: ...
I don't know how this person is so good-looking, but why his words are so unflattering, it makes people want to find a way to stop her mouth.
"I'm going to sit upright, I don't want to hide this matter from you again." She said slowly.
Xian Yu raised his eyebrows.
Li Qingning said again: "I did dream about you, but it's not..."
Hearing this, Xian Yu's lips twitched slightly, waiting for Li Qingning's next words.
"I don't dream about those romantic affairs from time to time, and besides, I haven't changed the person in the dream." Li Qingning closed her eyes, as if she was going all out.
Xian Yu smiled: "That's because I dreamed it occasionally."
Li Qingning opened her eyes again, and although her voice was still a little cold, there was a hint of gnashing of teeth, "But in the dream, I didn't take the initiative to give it to you... It's because you don't show courtesy at all, and you are not self-respecting... pestering... This Palace wants it."
It was quite pleasant to listen to at first, but Xian Yu's breath suddenly stagnated.
Thinking back to her previous life, she was so shamelessly pestering Li Qingning, as if she was dissatisfied with her desires.
Li Qingning went on to say: "Apart from these love affairs, I still dreamed a lot. In the dream, the situation and status of the palace is far from the present, and the palace in the dream is also somewhat different from the present."
The more Xian Yu heard it, the more frightened she became. Doesn't it mean that what she dreamed about happened in her previous life?
After a while, Li Qingning looked disappointed, "That's why I went to the Ceasefire Palace, to find that mural, and to order people to look for it in secret..."
She paused for a moment, then said, "Looking for you."
Xian Yu had expected one or two, but when he really heard Li Qingning say it himself, he still didn't recover for a long time.She pursed her lips and asked after a long time: "Then when you were on the island, since you wanted to keep me, why did you still doubt me?"
Li Qingning was silent for a while before saying: "At first, I was careless. After keeping you, I found that your cultivation base is weird, your whereabouts are unknown at night, and you don't act like a child in every way."
Xian Yu took a deep breath, "It doesn't look like that?"
"Because you are slightly similar to the man in red in Bengong's dream, and Bengong is not very clear whether you are an enemy or a friend, so I suspect that you have ulterior motives, disguised as a child, and lurk by Bengong's side." Li Qingning said It's pretty steady, but the eyes are already flickering a little.
Having said that, she felt that she was quite heartless, and it was not in vain that the man in red in her dream asked her if she had any heart.
Xian Yu almost didn't catch his breath, although he knew that this person was very suspicious, and he also knew that he was suspected when he was on the island.
She was running around on the island to find out about Lei Zhen, but Li Qingning regarded her as a spy, which was really annoying.
Li Qingning's heart was also beating fast, for fear that the person in front of her would turn his back on him and not recognize him.
Sure enough, Xian Yu said sadly: "So now, His Highness still regards this seat as a fine work?"
"Of course not." Li Qingning's tongue was dry.
Xian Yu's face softened a little, and he raised his eyebrows, "Then His Highness can understand why I was in the dream earlier, it must not be for no reason."
After she finished speaking, she stepped back a little and observed Li Qingning's expression.
Li Qingning opened and closed her lips, but did not utter a single word, as if she was thinking of words.
Xian Yu thought about it, it's all about this, if Li Qingning still can't think of anything, it's better for her to open the mouth.
Perhaps the instruments of torture in the room were not put in prison, and an object fell to the ground with a bang, which made people tremble, and then there was no sound in the room again.
"Naturally, it's not for no reason, but because of it." Li Qingning suddenly said in the silence: "I'm lucky to continue my relationship in this life."
Xian Yu was stunned, she never thought that Li Qingning knew about it, and she directly explained it.
She couldn't utter the sarcasm all of a sudden, all the unspoken words in the previous life rushed into her throat, but she didn't know where to start.
What to say, how miserable she is, how hateful the two sects and the small sect are, and what did Li Wuyin do after he seized the throne.
There were so many things to say, but for a while, I felt that there was no need to speak.
It's just some old things, there is really no need to waste words, talking about it will only add to the sadness.
"Then you," Xian Yu paused, and the domineering aura just now softened most of the way, "What do you think now?"
Li Qingning hasn't dreamed too much so far, she just feels a little uneasy, but if she talks about her thoughts, she doesn't have any definite thoughts yet.
When she was thinking about how to speak, the red-clothed man in front of her blinked a pair of Jianshuiqiu pupils, showing a hesitant expression.
After a while, Xian Yu said what he had been worried about before, "Then do you feel that in your dream..."
She paused, then changed her words and said, "I feel that in my previous life, I was too...Meng Lang was frivolous."
Li Qingning was surprised, but she didn't expect this person to be self-aware, so she nodded slightly: "Yes."
Xian Yu: ...
She gasped, even though she asked this question, she didn't want Li Qingning to answer it that way, after all, she also wanted face.
Now it seems that the infiltration time has been long, and the interrogation department who went out should come back.
The ten porcelain vases on the table were neatly arranged, and looked as if they had not been touched, and it was unknown what was inside.
Xian Yu took the opportunity to avoid the topic, "Let's not talk about it in advance, what is the minister bringing His Highness here for?"
Li Qingning picked up one of the ampoules, but did not remove the cork, but shook it lightly twice, then put it up to her nose and sniffed it, "There is a strange smell in the stable, when I went there, the smell It was almost gone, and I could only smell some, and then the internal official came here with me."
"Could it be that you are testing His Highness?" Xian Yu frowned.
Li Qingning shook her head, "Not only that, but they wanted me to identify which spices made the scent in the stables."
The corner of Xian Yu's lips twitched, "Whether His Highness can distinguish it or not, it is extremely difficult to wash it off. After all, all the incense in the palace is offered by Pinxiangfang, and His Highness has a very close relationship with Pinxiangfang."
Li Qingning raised her eyes to look at her, "Do you know that Bengong has done some business with Pinxiangfang?"
Xian Yu smiled and said nothing, she knew a lot, after all, she didn't take another sip of Mengpo soup.
Seeing Li Qingning frowning in thought, she couldn't help saying: "Yesterday, King Feng Xian went to Pinxiangfang."
"Do you think King Fengxian did this?" Li Qingning put down the porcelain bottle in her hand, and picked up the others one by one.
"No." Xian Yu pondered, "The person behind it should want to kill two birds with one stone. If not, His Highness and King Feng Xian can always pull one into the water. But since King Feng Xian has been there, it's fine for His Highness not to recognize him."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, "That's right, but I remember that you are King Fengxian's counselor."
Xian Yu choked for a moment, "It's a long story, but it's definitely not against His Highness."
Li Qingning said indifferently: "Don't tear King Fengxian down in this matter."
"Why." Xian Yu frowned.
Li Qingning lowered her eyes and said, "You are now King Fengxian's counselor."
If you say half of this and leave the other half, others will not understand what it means.
Xian Yu was surprised at first, and then laughed in a low voice, "Your Highness is afraid that I will be implicated because of this, and I will be in a worrying situation."
Li Qingning looked straight at her, but did not deny it.
Xian Yu laughed so that her shoulders trembled slightly, her eyes were misty, as if soaked in water.
She raised her eyes, a cold light flashed in her eyes, she was as cunning as a demon, she said softly: "I will never put myself in a dead end, this chess still has to be played."
Li Qingning nodded slightly.
Xian Yu suppressed the smile on his lips, "Does Your Highness have an idea?"
"Not bad." Li Qingning said lightly.
"Then I'll go." Xian Yu paused before walking, then turned around and said, "Is there anything else you want to ask, Your Highness?"
There was the sound of thin footsteps in the distance, it was someone coming back.
Li Qingning pursed her lips, and said unhurriedly: "I am only puzzled by one thing."
"What's the matter?" Xian Yu asked.
"You and I in the previous life..." Li Qingning paused for a moment, but what he was talking about was not about the strange fragrance, "When your hearts are connected, are you the same age as you are now?"
Xian Yu really couldn't figure it out, who knows how old that Bi Shenghua made her, she hesitated and said, "It should be about the same."
Hearing this, Li Qingning's complexion changed again and again, which was wonderful.
Xian Yu didn't know what she was thinking, so she pushed the door lightly and left.
After the interrogator came back, he saluted respectfully, then put his hands in front of his body, and asked cautiously, "Is there any result, Your Highness?"
Li Qingning glanced at the ten porcelain vases on the table, raised her hand, and pointed to five of them one by one with her fine fingers, and said calmly, "It should be these five spices."
The interrogator Zhan Yan smiled, "Your Highness, I have troubled you, and I will present these five flavors to the internal officials."
Li Qingning didn't show any expression, her chin was slightly a little bit, neither angry nor sad, her face was extremely frank.
Only then did the interrogation department invite her out, and then put the five porcelain vases back into the brocade box.
When Li Qingning came out of Dali Temple, she saw Fangxin waiting outside, her steps were ready, and several court ladies were standing respectfully beside her.
Fang Xin brought a footstool and stepped on it for Li Qingning.
After the palace servants started to push her away, she lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness ordered me earlier, and this servant has already found out."
Li Qingning nodded and said, "We'll talk about it when we go back."
She still had a dazed look on her face, as if she hadn't recovered.
Fang Xin felt a little distressed, thinking that the instruments of torture in the interrogation room had frightened His Royal Highness, and said: "My servant has ordered someone to burn the incense, and His Highness was frightened today."
Li Qingning pursed her lips and remained silent, thinking about what she had just heard in the interrogation room.
Although she still couldn't figure out how that person changed from a child to what he is now, but seeing that the other person didn't even know his own age, it must be some crooked way, maybe it was something that made people grow up suddenly sorcery.
I have only seen people who want to rejuvenate, but I have never seen someone who specializes in this kind of magic that can make people grow old overnight. Once this magic is used, the appearance of the person changes, the age of the bones grows a lot, and even the spleen is damaged. It's not as good as when you were young, you can count by year and month...
Thinking about it this way, if the past life is the same as this life, then it's okay.
After a long time, she murmured: "I never would have been like that in my previous life..."
The voice of these words was very soft, and Fang Xin, who was standing aside, didn't pay attention for a while.
"Then it's not as good as a beast." Li Qingning was very sad.
Chapter 47
47
After Li Qingning returned to Yangning Palace, the eunuch who took the porcelain vase went to take care of the little boy who was feeding the horse. The little boy knelt tremblingly, listening to the old eunuch's reprimand.
The internal official said: "This matter is very important, I can't protect you today, if you can tell the truth, maybe you can avoid some punishment."
Xiao Tong had been interrogated with other people before, and he thought he had escaped a disaster, but he was questioned alone again.
He fell on the ground trembling all over, his lips and teeth were trembling, tears and snot all over his face when he shook his head violently, "The villain really doesn't know, my lord, please spare me."
"Before today's banquet, did you take half a step away from the stable?" The internal officer put his hands behind his back, his chin was not lowered at all, and only his eyes were slanted down.
The little boy hurriedly said: "No, I haven't left even half a step!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body was trembling like a sieve, Zhan Weiwei said, "I only left for half a moment, but when Chenshi just changed value, you know, my lord, the fragrance will dissipate after a while, if at that time With the help of hands and feet, there is no smell at the banquet."
The inner officer snorted, the voice was so deep that it sounded like it was coming from his chest, "The scent really doesn't last long, the time of day is still early, no wonder I didn't remind you, Sicheng is suspicious of you today gone."
Hearing this, the little boy cried even more, "Why can't the villain get this kind of spice, my lord is clearly aware."
"Did anyone else come here when you were on duty?" the internal officer asked after thinking about it.
"The nanny from the dance music workshop came, but the villain watched closely, so the nanny just stood outside the stable and looked at the horses. After all, horses are needed for the horse dance at the banquet." The boy thought for a long time, and then muffled.
"Which nanny, do you know someone?" the inner officer asked.
"Yes, it's Sister Yan." The little boy lowered his head even more.
The inner officer narrowed his eyes slightly, "Really?"
"Yes, yes, it's absolutely true!" The little boy curled up his fingers, and his voice seemed to be a little fuzzy.
"This matter is of great importance. You must report every word to His Majesty. If there is a mistake in a sentence, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!" The internal officer's voice was serious.
The little boy trembled even more, "Sister Yan came here, just an hour before the banquet, adults can go and ask Mother Yan, she has indeed been here!"
The internal officer nodded slightly, "I have already asked Madam Yan, and she did not deny it, but besides her, is there really no one else here?"
"Indeed not!" The boy's voice trembled, almost shouting.
The internal officer snorted coldly, "But some people say that they saw a little palace lady come here and chatted with you secretly for a long time."
The little boy was shocked, and his forehead had already touched the ground, "My lord, this, this matter has nothing to do with the fragrance, that, that maid is the elder sister of the villain, and she came to bring something to the villain."
"What?" the officer asked coldly.
The boy's ten fingers were already clenched into fists, and he didn't answer for a long time. After a long time, he took out a paper bag with oily stars from his clothes.
"Open it," said the officer.
Only then did the boy tremblingly open the paper bag, only to see a piece of pine nut lily cake lying inside.
The inner officer's eyes moved slightly, and there seemed to be a flash of pity in his eyes, his tightly closed lips moved, and he said: "You know that this pine nut and lily cake is only eaten by the masters, even if it is left over, it will not be their turn." The servants eat, that sister of yours stole from the masters."
"My lord, please forgive my little sister, I asked my sister to bring it because I wanted to eat!" The little boy kowtowed, tears streaming down his face.
The officer was silent for a while and said: "You go and get the [-] big boards by yourself. If you are involved in the madness of the horse, it will not be as simple as the [-] big boards."
The little boy kowtowed and said, "Thank you sir, thank you sir!"
In the dark, Xian Yu listened for a long time.
Although she has seen many people in the palace, she has no impression of this Yanmao.
Sister Yan from the dance band?
It's not a big man, and I really don't know it.
I don't know if the person behind the scenes has reported to the emperor that King Fengxian went to Pinxiangfang. If she did, even if she didn't make a sound, she would be implicated in it.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly went to find King Feng Xian.
In Dongzhou, after the princes were granted the title, they had no mansion in the capital, and they were not allowed to enter Beijing without the emperor's permission.In this way, if a prince is ordered to go to Beijing, he must stay in the palace, and his every move must be under the eyes of the emperor, watched by countless hidden guards and imperial monks.
King Feng Xian was naturally also in the palace at this time, and as her counselor, she could see people without much effort.
After the banquet, many people were frightened, but King Fengxian seemed not to be affected, and was enjoying the royal tea in the palace contentedly.
Xian Yu's eyes were heavy, and she didn't know how this person could drink tea with peace of mind. Li Qingning sat in the dark interrogation room for a long time.
She sat on one side and said slowly: "The eldest princess was indeed taken away by the internal officials. As the prince saw, the brown horse at the banquet suddenly went crazy and ran straight towards His Majesty. The reason should be because of a strange fragrance that has not dissipated in the stable."
"Strange fragrance." King Fengxian put down the teacup in his hand, pondering over these two words, "Go on."
"The eldest princess was brought to the interrogation room, and the interrogation department came to inquire about this matter." Xian Yu said.
"What did my niece say?" King Fengxian frowned.
Xian Yu lowered her eyes, her pupils were as black as a bottomless cold pool, she said unhurriedly: "When I arrived, the Interrogator happened to leave, I don't know what I asked, and what did the eldest princess answer. In the dark, I saw In the interrogation room, the Eldest Princess looked at the ten thin-necked porcelain vases, guessing that she was identifying the undissipated fragrance in the stable."
"This king's niece is not so stupid, she only takes action at the big banquet." Fengxian Wang said with a smile, he bent his fingers and tapped on the armrest of the wooden chair, "Did you smell that strange fragrance?"
"No," Xian Yu's words were true, "The scent will have dissipated by the time I arrive."
King Feng Xian nodded slightly, "The emperor must be clear that this matter is definitely not the work of the eldest princess. Ning'er can't get back to the capital. Now that she finally came back, how could she do it suddenly? Isn't it obvious that she wants to be expelled from the capital?" Well, besides, she has always been thorough in her work, and she will never reveal so many flaws."
He paused, and said again: "It can't be said that she was expelled from Beijing, but he just found a reason to drive her away."
Xian Yu's eyes flickered, "What the prince said is very true."
"I don't know who's idea, it seems that they want to provoke the relationship between Ning'er and His Majesty." King Feng Xian raised his eyebrows.
"However," Xian Yu paused, "I went to the stables later, and secretly heard an officer scolding the stable boy."
"How?" King Fengxian asked.
Xian Yu said, "At first the horse boy didn't believe that anyone had been there before the banquet, but later he said that a nun visited the horse an hour before the banquet."
King Fengxian nodded, motioning for her to continue talking.
Xian Yu said unhurriedly: "The little boy said that the one who went to see the horse was Yan Yan from the Dance Music Workshop."
After she finished speaking, her eyes raised slightly, and the corners of her lips curled slightly invisibly.
After hearing what she said, King Feng Xian's pupils suddenly shrank, and his complexion suddenly turned dark.
King Feng Xian's eyes moved slightly, with sullen eyes in his eyes, and he said after a while, "Then Yanmao is my wet nurse."
Xian Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, and raised the corners of her tulle lower lips even higher. When King Feng Xian looked over, she immediately stopped laughing and pretended to be shocked.
"Why is the prince's wet nurse in the dance hall?" She asked with a frown.
King Fengxian pursed his lips slightly before saying: "She made some mistakes in the past, and then she went to the dance music workshop."
"My lord went to Pinxiangfang yesterday, and the wet nurse went to see the horse before the banquet. Even if my lord has a clear conscience, this matter will inevitably be made a big fuss about." Xian Yu said carefully.
King Fengxian frowned, "I don't know what role Yanmama Yan played in this. It seems that I have to trouble the fairy to go to the dance music workshop."
"I would like to share my worries for the prince." Xian Yu lowered his head slightly, although his voice was soft, it still sounded sincere.
This trip was not in vain, it seems that the Crazy Horse matter was not the idea of King Feng Xian, moreover, King Feng Xian didn't seem to know who was behind the plan.
It is necessary to go to the dance music workshop, Xian Yu thought to himself, then bowed his hands and retreated.
She is very ostentatious in a red dress, and she is bound to be looked at more often when she walks on this road.
Although now that there is an amnesty on the Qianqiu Festival, retainers can also enter the palace with their lord, but the palace is full of the emperor's hidden guards, and it is very inconvenient to move around at will.
Thanks to Xianyu's self-cultivation, he only needs to hide his breath a little bit, and use the technique of invisibility to cross the sea, so he can come and go freely in the palace these few days.
In the dance and band workshop, Nanny Yan was worrying.
She has gray hair, she looks a bit older, and she doesn't look like a wicked person.
Xian Yu secretly looked at her, only to see that she was fidgeting, sitting down and standing up again, sighing heavily.
The little palace maid standing beside Madam Yan was very worried, and said in a soft voice: "We have never done anything to hurt His Majesty in the dance music workshop. Your Excellency has also interrogated us today and did not say that we will be punished, Madam Yan. You don't have to worry so much."
"That's not what worries me," sighed the Mammy.
"What's wrong with the nanny?" the little maid asked again.
Then Mother Yan said: "This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Besides, this matter must be involved in a wide range. If we can't find the person behind it, we will probably introduce a scapegoat. At that time, we can hardly shirk the blame. After all In any case, horses are used by dance clubs."
The little maid was stunned for a moment, her almond eyes were wide open, she opened her mouth for a long time unable to speak, "Then, what should we do then."
"Hey, this matter can only wait and see how it changes." Yan Momo was very worried, her face was wrinkled together, "Besides, this old slave is also very worried about the prince."
The little maid was very puzzled, but seeing how Yan Yan didn't want to say more, she held back and didn't ask any more.
Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything else, Xian Yu looked away, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a slight movement of the spirit around him.
She frowned slightly, and followed the place where the aura fluctuated, and when she looked up, she saw a monk standing on the cornice.
Unfortunately, it was one of the monks who followed Li Zaiyu.
That person's cultivation is really extraordinary, and his clothes are also very different from those of Xu Zong's disciples. Looking at his clothes, the jade pendant on his waistband, and his hair crown, they are all worth a thousand gold. It is bestowed with great honor.
It seemed that this monk was deeply in Li Zaiyu's heart, even the suzerain of Xu Zong couldn't dress so richly, it seemed that Li Zaiyu treated them very differently.
Xian Yu thought to himself, logically speaking, Li Zaiyu should know that the two sects are very close to Li Wuyin, if he really has no intention of appointing the second prince as the heir, he will definitely be wary, so how dare he trust the two sects so much? people?
She couldn't figure it out, she just thought that Li Zaiyu was sick and dizzy.
On the other side, in Yangning Palace.
Li Qingning stepped down and walked slowly into the house with her hands on her heart. After the thin wooden door was closed, she asked: "During this period of time, the Royal Fragrance from Pinxiangfang
Guan Li Zaiyu's complexion showed that he wanted to settle accounts with Qiuhou, and if the person behind this was found out, he would be severely punished.
She doesn't care, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her, so I don't know if anyone present is worried.
Half an hour later, the internal officer hurried over, approached Li Zaiyu and whispered something in Li Zaiyu's ear.
The voice was very low, and the surroundings were very noisy, even the queen who was sitting next to Li Zaiyu might not be able to hear what the internal official said clearly.
Ordinary people can't hear it clearly, but advanced monks can faintly hear it.
Seeing that Li Zaiyu's face changed drastically, Xian Yu tilted her ears slightly, only hearing a few vague words from the courtier.
"The stables...the strange fragrance...caused by...Pinxiangfang..."
She frowned slightly, strange fragrance?
A thought popped up suddenly, and before he could think about it carefully, Li Zaiyu cast a sideways glance at Li Qingning.
She thumped in her heart, she had calculated thousands of times, but she didn't realize that the person behind the scenes wanted to pour dirty water on Li Qingning.
Thinking of this, Xian Yu raised his eyes and stared at Li Qing, only to see that Li Qingning's dark pupils trembled slightly, as if he had also heard the minister's words.
The courtier said a few words to Li Zaiyu, then approached Li Qingning, raised his hand to cover his lips halfway, and whispered in Li Qingning's ear, "His Royal Highness, please go with the old minister."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, her face as cold as frost, she put down her jade chopsticks and walked away with the courtier.
Most of Xian Yu's heart was twisted, but it was really hard to leave now that everyone was watching.
After the banquet was over, she found a reason to dismiss King Fengxian and left first.
Following the path in memory, she found the stable, but there was only a boy guarding the stable outside, and she couldn't smell the strange fragrance from the minister's mouth, and it seemed to have dissipated.
In a hurry, she stepped lightly on the blue tiles on the high wall, and after a while, she arrived at Dali Temple. There was no one in the main hall and side chambers, but there were two people faintly in the interrogation room. Presumably, the minister should know Bring Li Qingning here for interrogation.
Fortunately, there was no guard outside the house, so she waited for the opportunity to enter, and only walked in through the main entrance after the interrogator in the house came out.
Light suddenly poured into the dark interrogation room again, and that ray of light climbed up the stone slab on the ground, and then fell along the crude wooden table onto the face of the person sitting in front of the table.
Sitting among them, Li Qingning narrowed her eyes slightly, her red lips moved slightly, and suddenly stopped when she was about to speak.
She thought it was her interrogator who had returned, but unexpectedly, a figure of vermilion squeezed in outside the door.
The man came against the light, closed the door behind his back, and then walked lightly in front of her.
None of the instruments of torture in the room were touched, and the table was clean, but there were dozens of porcelain vases.
Xian Yu's heart trembled, he gritted his teeth and said, "Li Zaiyu wants to kill you?"
Seeing the man in red approaching lightly, and gritted his teeth again when he spoke, Li Qingning's slightly frowned brows eased, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she actually smiled.
Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized that what was in the porcelain bottle should not be some kind of poison, her ears felt slightly hot, and then asked: "What's in the bottle?"
Li Qingning did not answer immediately.
She never thought that Xian Yu would come, she never imagined that the person in her dream who had flung his sleeves and left after being heartbroken by her would still come to her door now.
It can be seen from scene to scene in the dream that she treats Xian Yu badly in every possible way, even if she has some merits, how can He De make this person tireless in every possible way.
After a long time, Li Qingning asked without answering, "You..."
Xian Yu put his hands on the table, lowered his eyes to look at the eldest princess who was sitting on the other side of the table, who was hesitant to speak.
"What does your Highness want to say? Could it be that you have to ask Gu, I don't want to raise that beast slave for you." Xian Yu sighed.
Li Qingning: ...
As soon as she heard it, she knew that this person was the one who was brooding over the matter of the other party's banquet, so she moved her lips and said, "No."
The voice stopped abruptly, and she pursed her lips slightly again.
There must be something to say, if you don't say it, it will be like in a dream, the two will drift away, but how to say this...
After a long time, she said slowly: "I want to ask, did you also have those dreams?"
After saying this, her throat was already a little tight, and her heart was hanging high.
Hearing this, Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, she could vaguely guess what Li Qingning had dreamed about, but she never thought that Li Qingning would mention it herself.
There was a slight warmth in her ears, she always felt a little embarrassed to say this in the interrogation room, and Li Qingning really changed in her heart, far from the reserved and self-respect of her previous life.
It's not that she hasn't dreamed about it before, it's just that she has dreamed about it recently, after all, she was in the body of a child before, so dreaming about those things should be more or less inappropriate.
After a while, she saw that Li Qingning's complexion was as usual, still looking like an unattainable bright moon, and she thought to herself that she had to be more self-restraining, and she must not bite upwards just because she was given a hook.
Li Qingning waited for a long time but did not hear Xian Yu's answer. Her breathing was slightly stagnant, and when she was about to ask a question, she saw the man in red in front of her slowly retracting her hands that were propped on the table.
The man in red folded his arms and said with a smirk: "Even if I am dreaming, I will not change the body of the people around me in my dream. If you are thin, you will be thin, and if you are weak, you will be weak. A weak-boned beauty is replaced by a body as strong as an ox."
Chapter 46
46
The eldest princess who was brought into the interrogation room was not in the slightest embarrassment, opened her eyes slightly after hearing this, took a deep breath, and then said with difficulty: "This Palace has never been like this before."
Xian Yu was dubious.
After a while, Li Qingning woke up like a dream, pretending to be calm and said: "During the banquet, Fangxin was talking nonsense."
Seeing that her eyes did not flicker, Xian Yu didn't know whether she was telling the truth or a lie. After all, anyone who knew Li Qingning well knew that this person liked to talk about people, he talked nonsense, and he was very good at playing tricks.
She thought about it for a moment, and she leaned slightly, looking at the person on the other side of the table almost at the same level, and said unhurriedly: "Then your highness, tell me what kind of dream you had."
The sounds of the words jumped out of the lips and teeth one by one, the voice was soft and slow, as if a needle was hidden in the cotton.
When she was talking, she had already expected what kind of embarrassment Li Qingning would show, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingning's pupils shrank slightly, and even her hands that were lying flat on the table were slightly tightened. Seeing that her ears and cheeks were not flushed, her face turned pale.
Xian Yu didn't understand, are these dreams so scary.
Thinking about it, it was really scary. Those dreams were very voluptuous, and the people in the dreams were people I had never seen before. It was like being entangled by a ghost, and everyone would be a little scared.
Besides, who is the eldest princess? For more than 20 years, she has been abstinent and busy with scheming all day long. Outsiders seem to be quite elegant and dignified. When asked about these things in person, she will definitely feel unbearable, and she will turn pale when she feels unbearable.
"Why does Your Highness show such an expression? Could it be that he had some unspeakable dreams." She raised her eyebrows and said.
Hearing this, Li Qingning couldn't help thinking of the scene in the dream where the two parted ways, and finally she was shot to death by random arrows. Thinking of these, she was still a little scared.
It's not that she is afraid of death, she is living a good life now, everything can be reversed, so she is not afraid of death.
It's just that she didn't express her heart clearly until she died, and it seemed a bit difficult to calm down.
It's really hard to understand.
She raised her eyes and looked at Xian Yu's haughty look, who obviously didn't care about anything, but still lived a lifetime and still hanged on her tree, very stubborn.
If he wasn't stubborn, how could he intentionally choke her with what Fangxin said at the banquet.
Although she is not a crooked neck tree, it doesn't matter if she hangs it.
In the dark interrogation room, Li Qingning tapped lightly with her hand on the table.
Her heart was in a mess, and she couldn't figure out what Xian Yu was thinking.
Seeing that she didn't say a word, Xian Yu approached her a little closer, almost lying on the table.
Her lips covered with light gauze slipped past Li Qingning's side cheeks, and the slightly warm breath faintly fell on Li Qingning's ears through the gauze.
The voice is delicate and soft, and the voice is very light.
Li Qingning didn't move, she just felt that the voice close to her ears sounded very erratic, as if she had imagined it.
"Why isn't your Highness talking?" Xian Yu said.
Only then did Li Qingning move her lips, "It's you, what do you think this palace dreamed about?"
Xian Yu raised her eyebrows: "Isn't it just some romantic and interesting things?"
Li Qingning's forehead twitched.
No wonder she felt that the person in front of her spoke in a weird way and looked weird during the conversation. So, so...
My mind is full of inappropriate things!
Xian Yu was so close that even Li Qingning's eyelashes could be clearly seen. Just as she was about to continue looking at her, the person in her eyes suddenly turned her head and looked straight at her.
She chuckled lightly, and was about to tease her again, when she suddenly noticed something was wrong, and said angrily: "It's obvious that I am asking His Highness, but His Highness is asking me the other way around?"
Li Qingning remained silent.
Xian Yu really wanted to take off the serious mask of the person in front of her, and the little thought in her heart was like a budding vine desperately climbing up, as if entangled her lips and tongue.
She sneered desperately, and said word by word: "In your highness's dream, is this seat wearing a red dress with a soft body? What did this seat say in the dream, is it the same as now, in the ears of your highness?" Whispering."
"..." Li Qing kept his eyes fixed, and it was hard to deny it for a while, after all, it was true.
But her plain neck moved slightly, and it took a long time to squeeze out a word from between her lips and teeth, "Yes."
Xian Yu smiled: "Then what did His Highness do to me in the dream?"
Li Qingning couldn't bear it anymore, this time her ears really warmed up a little, and her breath was so chaotic that she could hardly hold it back.
She slowly took a deep breath, frowned and said: "What have you been thinking all day long!"
Xian Yu choked up for a moment, "It's not my dream, why did His Highness beat you down?"
Li Qingning was silent for a long time, and suddenly understood.
She suddenly remembered that when she was still on Weifeng Island, one day before returning to the capital, the man in red in the dream seemed to have suddenly changed his appearance, and she thought about how she met later in the capital. her dream? !
No wonder, no wonder Xian Yu knew that he had dreamed of her, clearly in secret.
"You fell into my dream?" Li Qingning said unhurriedly.
Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly, "Not bad."
After a while, she chewed the words slowly, "Your Highness really surprised me, that time I actually took off my clothes in my dream, Your Highness really..."
Maybe it's because of her frailty, her breathing is not as smooth and powerful as ordinary people's, and even her voice is soft.
When I was young, it was like a magpie singing, but now that I am a little older, it is more like a thin string singing.
Li Qingning lowered her eyes, her heart seemed to be plucked, and her eyes fell on the tulle covering Xianyu's face.
That half of the face was obscured, only the shallow lips were vaguely moving.
"It's true that the real person doesn't show his face." The lips moved again.
Li Qingning: ...
I don't know how this person is so good-looking, but why his words are so unflattering, it makes people want to find a way to stop her mouth.
"I'm going to sit upright, I don't want to hide this matter from you again." She said slowly.
Xian Yu raised his eyebrows.
Li Qingning said again: "I did dream about you, but it's not..."
Hearing this, Xian Yu's lips twitched slightly, waiting for Li Qingning's next words.
"I don't dream about those romantic affairs from time to time, and besides, I haven't changed the person in the dream." Li Qingning closed her eyes, as if she was going all out.
Xian Yu smiled: "That's because I dreamed it occasionally."
Li Qingning opened her eyes again, and although her voice was still a little cold, there was a hint of gnashing of teeth, "But in the dream, I didn't take the initiative to give it to you... It's because you don't show courtesy at all, and you are not self-respecting... pestering... This Palace wants it."
It was quite pleasant to listen to at first, but Xian Yu's breath suddenly stagnated.
Thinking back to her previous life, she was so shamelessly pestering Li Qingning, as if she was dissatisfied with her desires.
Li Qingning went on to say: "Apart from these love affairs, I still dreamed a lot. In the dream, the situation and status of the palace is far from the present, and the palace in the dream is also somewhat different from the present."
The more Xian Yu heard it, the more frightened she became. Doesn't it mean that what she dreamed about happened in her previous life?
After a while, Li Qingning looked disappointed, "That's why I went to the Ceasefire Palace, to find that mural, and to order people to look for it in secret..."
She paused for a moment, then said, "Looking for you."
Xian Yu had expected one or two, but when he really heard Li Qingning say it himself, he still didn't recover for a long time.She pursed her lips and asked after a long time: "Then when you were on the island, since you wanted to keep me, why did you still doubt me?"
Li Qingning was silent for a while before saying: "At first, I was careless. After keeping you, I found that your cultivation base is weird, your whereabouts are unknown at night, and you don't act like a child in every way."
Xian Yu took a deep breath, "It doesn't look like that?"
"Because you are slightly similar to the man in red in Bengong's dream, and Bengong is not very clear whether you are an enemy or a friend, so I suspect that you have ulterior motives, disguised as a child, and lurk by Bengong's side." Li Qingning said It's pretty steady, but the eyes are already flickering a little.
Having said that, she felt that she was quite heartless, and it was not in vain that the man in red in her dream asked her if she had any heart.
Xian Yu almost didn't catch his breath, although he knew that this person was very suspicious, and he also knew that he was suspected when he was on the island.
She was running around on the island to find out about Lei Zhen, but Li Qingning regarded her as a spy, which was really annoying.
Li Qingning's heart was also beating fast, for fear that the person in front of her would turn his back on him and not recognize him.
Sure enough, Xian Yu said sadly: "So now, His Highness still regards this seat as a fine work?"
"Of course not." Li Qingning's tongue was dry.
Xian Yu's face softened a little, and he raised his eyebrows, "Then His Highness can understand why I was in the dream earlier, it must not be for no reason."
After she finished speaking, she stepped back a little and observed Li Qingning's expression.
Li Qingning opened and closed her lips, but did not utter a single word, as if she was thinking of words.
Xian Yu thought about it, it's all about this, if Li Qingning still can't think of anything, it's better for her to open the mouth.
Perhaps the instruments of torture in the room were not put in prison, and an object fell to the ground with a bang, which made people tremble, and then there was no sound in the room again.
"Naturally, it's not for no reason, but because of it." Li Qingning suddenly said in the silence: "I'm lucky to continue my relationship in this life."
Xian Yu was stunned, she never thought that Li Qingning knew about it, and she directly explained it.
She couldn't utter the sarcasm all of a sudden, all the unspoken words in the previous life rushed into her throat, but she didn't know where to start.
What to say, how miserable she is, how hateful the two sects and the small sect are, and what did Li Wuyin do after he seized the throne.
There were so many things to say, but for a while, I felt that there was no need to speak.
It's just some old things, there is really no need to waste words, talking about it will only add to the sadness.
"Then you," Xian Yu paused, and the domineering aura just now softened most of the way, "What do you think now?"
Li Qingning hasn't dreamed too much so far, she just feels a little uneasy, but if she talks about her thoughts, she doesn't have any definite thoughts yet.
When she was thinking about how to speak, the red-clothed man in front of her blinked a pair of Jianshuiqiu pupils, showing a hesitant expression.
After a while, Xian Yu said what he had been worried about before, "Then do you feel that in your dream..."
She paused, then changed her words and said, "I feel that in my previous life, I was too...Meng Lang was frivolous."
Li Qingning was surprised, but she didn't expect this person to be self-aware, so she nodded slightly: "Yes."
Xian Yu: ...
She gasped, even though she asked this question, she didn't want Li Qingning to answer it that way, after all, she also wanted face.
Now it seems that the infiltration time has been long, and the interrogation department who went out should come back.
The ten porcelain vases on the table were neatly arranged, and looked as if they had not been touched, and it was unknown what was inside.
Xian Yu took the opportunity to avoid the topic, "Let's not talk about it in advance, what is the minister bringing His Highness here for?"
Li Qingning picked up one of the ampoules, but did not remove the cork, but shook it lightly twice, then put it up to her nose and sniffed it, "There is a strange smell in the stable, when I went there, the smell It was almost gone, and I could only smell some, and then the internal official came here with me."
"Could it be that you are testing His Highness?" Xian Yu frowned.
Li Qingning shook her head, "Not only that, but they wanted me to identify which spices made the scent in the stables."
The corner of Xian Yu's lips twitched, "Whether His Highness can distinguish it or not, it is extremely difficult to wash it off. After all, all the incense in the palace is offered by Pinxiangfang, and His Highness has a very close relationship with Pinxiangfang."
Li Qingning raised her eyes to look at her, "Do you know that Bengong has done some business with Pinxiangfang?"
Xian Yu smiled and said nothing, she knew a lot, after all, she didn't take another sip of Mengpo soup.
Seeing Li Qingning frowning in thought, she couldn't help saying: "Yesterday, King Feng Xian went to Pinxiangfang."
"Do you think King Fengxian did this?" Li Qingning put down the porcelain bottle in her hand, and picked up the others one by one.
"No." Xian Yu pondered, "The person behind it should want to kill two birds with one stone. If not, His Highness and King Feng Xian can always pull one into the water. But since King Feng Xian has been there, it's fine for His Highness not to recognize him."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, "That's right, but I remember that you are King Fengxian's counselor."
Xian Yu choked for a moment, "It's a long story, but it's definitely not against His Highness."
Li Qingning said indifferently: "Don't tear King Fengxian down in this matter."
"Why." Xian Yu frowned.
Li Qingning lowered her eyes and said, "You are now King Fengxian's counselor."
If you say half of this and leave the other half, others will not understand what it means.
Xian Yu was surprised at first, and then laughed in a low voice, "Your Highness is afraid that I will be implicated because of this, and I will be in a worrying situation."
Li Qingning looked straight at her, but did not deny it.
Xian Yu laughed so that her shoulders trembled slightly, her eyes were misty, as if soaked in water.
She raised her eyes, a cold light flashed in her eyes, she was as cunning as a demon, she said softly: "I will never put myself in a dead end, this chess still has to be played."
Li Qingning nodded slightly.
Xian Yu suppressed the smile on his lips, "Does Your Highness have an idea?"
"Not bad." Li Qingning said lightly.
"Then I'll go." Xian Yu paused before walking, then turned around and said, "Is there anything else you want to ask, Your Highness?"
There was the sound of thin footsteps in the distance, it was someone coming back.
Li Qingning pursed her lips, and said unhurriedly: "I am only puzzled by one thing."
"What's the matter?" Xian Yu asked.
"You and I in the previous life..." Li Qingning paused for a moment, but what he was talking about was not about the strange fragrance, "When your hearts are connected, are you the same age as you are now?"
Xian Yu really couldn't figure it out, who knows how old that Bi Shenghua made her, she hesitated and said, "It should be about the same."
Hearing this, Li Qingning's complexion changed again and again, which was wonderful.
Xian Yu didn't know what she was thinking, so she pushed the door lightly and left.
After the interrogator came back, he saluted respectfully, then put his hands in front of his body, and asked cautiously, "Is there any result, Your Highness?"
Li Qingning glanced at the ten porcelain vases on the table, raised her hand, and pointed to five of them one by one with her fine fingers, and said calmly, "It should be these five spices."
The interrogator Zhan Yan smiled, "Your Highness, I have troubled you, and I will present these five flavors to the internal officials."
Li Qingning didn't show any expression, her chin was slightly a little bit, neither angry nor sad, her face was extremely frank.
Only then did the interrogation department invite her out, and then put the five porcelain vases back into the brocade box.
When Li Qingning came out of Dali Temple, she saw Fangxin waiting outside, her steps were ready, and several court ladies were standing respectfully beside her.
Fang Xin brought a footstool and stepped on it for Li Qingning.
After the palace servants started to push her away, she lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness ordered me earlier, and this servant has already found out."
Li Qingning nodded and said, "We'll talk about it when we go back."
She still had a dazed look on her face, as if she hadn't recovered.
Fang Xin felt a little distressed, thinking that the instruments of torture in the interrogation room had frightened His Royal Highness, and said: "My servant has ordered someone to burn the incense, and His Highness was frightened today."
Li Qingning pursed her lips and remained silent, thinking about what she had just heard in the interrogation room.
Although she still couldn't figure out how that person changed from a child to what he is now, but seeing that the other person didn't even know his own age, it must be some crooked way, maybe it was something that made people grow up suddenly sorcery.
I have only seen people who want to rejuvenate, but I have never seen someone who specializes in this kind of magic that can make people grow old overnight. Once this magic is used, the appearance of the person changes, the age of the bones grows a lot, and even the spleen is damaged. It's not as good as when you were young, you can count by year and month...
Thinking about it this way, if the past life is the same as this life, then it's okay.
After a long time, she murmured: "I never would have been like that in my previous life..."
The voice of these words was very soft, and Fang Xin, who was standing aside, didn't pay attention for a while.
"Then it's not as good as a beast." Li Qingning was very sad.
Chapter 47
47
After Li Qingning returned to Yangning Palace, the eunuch who took the porcelain vase went to take care of the little boy who was feeding the horse. The little boy knelt tremblingly, listening to the old eunuch's reprimand.
The internal official said: "This matter is very important, I can't protect you today, if you can tell the truth, maybe you can avoid some punishment."
Xiao Tong had been interrogated with other people before, and he thought he had escaped a disaster, but he was questioned alone again.
He fell on the ground trembling all over, his lips and teeth were trembling, tears and snot all over his face when he shook his head violently, "The villain really doesn't know, my lord, please spare me."
"Before today's banquet, did you take half a step away from the stable?" The internal officer put his hands behind his back, his chin was not lowered at all, and only his eyes were slanted down.
The little boy hurriedly said: "No, I haven't left even half a step!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body was trembling like a sieve, Zhan Weiwei said, "I only left for half a moment, but when Chenshi just changed value, you know, my lord, the fragrance will dissipate after a while, if at that time With the help of hands and feet, there is no smell at the banquet."
The inner officer snorted, the voice was so deep that it sounded like it was coming from his chest, "The scent really doesn't last long, the time of day is still early, no wonder I didn't remind you, Sicheng is suspicious of you today gone."
Hearing this, the little boy cried even more, "Why can't the villain get this kind of spice, my lord is clearly aware."
"Did anyone else come here when you were on duty?" the internal officer asked after thinking about it.
"The nanny from the dance music workshop came, but the villain watched closely, so the nanny just stood outside the stable and looked at the horses. After all, horses are needed for the horse dance at the banquet." The boy thought for a long time, and then muffled.
"Which nanny, do you know someone?" the inner officer asked.
"Yes, it's Sister Yan." The little boy lowered his head even more.
The inner officer narrowed his eyes slightly, "Really?"
"Yes, yes, it's absolutely true!" The little boy curled up his fingers, and his voice seemed to be a little fuzzy.
"This matter is of great importance. You must report every word to His Majesty. If there is a mistake in a sentence, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!" The internal officer's voice was serious.
The little boy trembled even more, "Sister Yan came here, just an hour before the banquet, adults can go and ask Mother Yan, she has indeed been here!"
The internal officer nodded slightly, "I have already asked Madam Yan, and she did not deny it, but besides her, is there really no one else here?"
"Indeed not!" The boy's voice trembled, almost shouting.
The internal officer snorted coldly, "But some people say that they saw a little palace lady come here and chatted with you secretly for a long time."
The little boy was shocked, and his forehead had already touched the ground, "My lord, this, this matter has nothing to do with the fragrance, that, that maid is the elder sister of the villain, and she came to bring something to the villain."
"What?" the officer asked coldly.
The boy's ten fingers were already clenched into fists, and he didn't answer for a long time. After a long time, he took out a paper bag with oily stars from his clothes.
"Open it," said the officer.
Only then did the boy tremblingly open the paper bag, only to see a piece of pine nut lily cake lying inside.
The inner officer's eyes moved slightly, and there seemed to be a flash of pity in his eyes, his tightly closed lips moved, and he said: "You know that this pine nut and lily cake is only eaten by the masters, even if it is left over, it will not be their turn." The servants eat, that sister of yours stole from the masters."
"My lord, please forgive my little sister, I asked my sister to bring it because I wanted to eat!" The little boy kowtowed, tears streaming down his face.
The officer was silent for a while and said: "You go and get the [-] big boards by yourself. If you are involved in the madness of the horse, it will not be as simple as the [-] big boards."
The little boy kowtowed and said, "Thank you sir, thank you sir!"
In the dark, Xian Yu listened for a long time.
Although she has seen many people in the palace, she has no impression of this Yanmao.
Sister Yan from the dance band?
It's not a big man, and I really don't know it.
I don't know if the person behind the scenes has reported to the emperor that King Fengxian went to Pinxiangfang. If she did, even if she didn't make a sound, she would be implicated in it.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly went to find King Feng Xian.
In Dongzhou, after the princes were granted the title, they had no mansion in the capital, and they were not allowed to enter Beijing without the emperor's permission.In this way, if a prince is ordered to go to Beijing, he must stay in the palace, and his every move must be under the eyes of the emperor, watched by countless hidden guards and imperial monks.
King Feng Xian was naturally also in the palace at this time, and as her counselor, she could see people without much effort.
After the banquet, many people were frightened, but King Fengxian seemed not to be affected, and was enjoying the royal tea in the palace contentedly.
Xian Yu's eyes were heavy, and she didn't know how this person could drink tea with peace of mind. Li Qingning sat in the dark interrogation room for a long time.
She sat on one side and said slowly: "The eldest princess was indeed taken away by the internal officials. As the prince saw, the brown horse at the banquet suddenly went crazy and ran straight towards His Majesty. The reason should be because of a strange fragrance that has not dissipated in the stable."
"Strange fragrance." King Fengxian put down the teacup in his hand, pondering over these two words, "Go on."
"The eldest princess was brought to the interrogation room, and the interrogation department came to inquire about this matter." Xian Yu said.
"What did my niece say?" King Fengxian frowned.
Xian Yu lowered her eyes, her pupils were as black as a bottomless cold pool, she said unhurriedly: "When I arrived, the Interrogator happened to leave, I don't know what I asked, and what did the eldest princess answer. In the dark, I saw In the interrogation room, the Eldest Princess looked at the ten thin-necked porcelain vases, guessing that she was identifying the undissipated fragrance in the stable."
"This king's niece is not so stupid, she only takes action at the big banquet." Fengxian Wang said with a smile, he bent his fingers and tapped on the armrest of the wooden chair, "Did you smell that strange fragrance?"
"No," Xian Yu's words were true, "The scent will have dissipated by the time I arrive."
King Feng Xian nodded slightly, "The emperor must be clear that this matter is definitely not the work of the eldest princess. Ning'er can't get back to the capital. Now that she finally came back, how could she do it suddenly? Isn't it obvious that she wants to be expelled from the capital?" Well, besides, she has always been thorough in her work, and she will never reveal so many flaws."
He paused, and said again: "It can't be said that she was expelled from Beijing, but he just found a reason to drive her away."
Xian Yu's eyes flickered, "What the prince said is very true."
"I don't know who's idea, it seems that they want to provoke the relationship between Ning'er and His Majesty." King Feng Xian raised his eyebrows.
"However," Xian Yu paused, "I went to the stables later, and secretly heard an officer scolding the stable boy."
"How?" King Fengxian asked.
Xian Yu said, "At first the horse boy didn't believe that anyone had been there before the banquet, but later he said that a nun visited the horse an hour before the banquet."
King Fengxian nodded, motioning for her to continue talking.
Xian Yu said unhurriedly: "The little boy said that the one who went to see the horse was Yan Yan from the Dance Music Workshop."
After she finished speaking, her eyes raised slightly, and the corners of her lips curled slightly invisibly.
After hearing what she said, King Feng Xian's pupils suddenly shrank, and his complexion suddenly turned dark.
King Feng Xian's eyes moved slightly, with sullen eyes in his eyes, and he said after a while, "Then Yanmao is my wet nurse."
Xian Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, and raised the corners of her tulle lower lips even higher. When King Feng Xian looked over, she immediately stopped laughing and pretended to be shocked.
"Why is the prince's wet nurse in the dance hall?" She asked with a frown.
King Fengxian pursed his lips slightly before saying: "She made some mistakes in the past, and then she went to the dance music workshop."
"My lord went to Pinxiangfang yesterday, and the wet nurse went to see the horse before the banquet. Even if my lord has a clear conscience, this matter will inevitably be made a big fuss about." Xian Yu said carefully.
King Fengxian frowned, "I don't know what role Yanmama Yan played in this. It seems that I have to trouble the fairy to go to the dance music workshop."
"I would like to share my worries for the prince." Xian Yu lowered his head slightly, although his voice was soft, it still sounded sincere.
This trip was not in vain, it seems that the Crazy Horse matter was not the idea of King Feng Xian, moreover, King Feng Xian didn't seem to know who was behind the plan.
It is necessary to go to the dance music workshop, Xian Yu thought to himself, then bowed his hands and retreated.
She is very ostentatious in a red dress, and she is bound to be looked at more often when she walks on this road.
Although now that there is an amnesty on the Qianqiu Festival, retainers can also enter the palace with their lord, but the palace is full of the emperor's hidden guards, and it is very inconvenient to move around at will.
Thanks to Xianyu's self-cultivation, he only needs to hide his breath a little bit, and use the technique of invisibility to cross the sea, so he can come and go freely in the palace these few days.
In the dance and band workshop, Nanny Yan was worrying.
She has gray hair, she looks a bit older, and she doesn't look like a wicked person.
Xian Yu secretly looked at her, only to see that she was fidgeting, sitting down and standing up again, sighing heavily.
The little palace maid standing beside Madam Yan was very worried, and said in a soft voice: "We have never done anything to hurt His Majesty in the dance music workshop. Your Excellency has also interrogated us today and did not say that we will be punished, Madam Yan. You don't have to worry so much."
"That's not what worries me," sighed the Mammy.
"What's wrong with the nanny?" the little maid asked again.
Then Mother Yan said: "This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Besides, this matter must be involved in a wide range. If we can't find the person behind it, we will probably introduce a scapegoat. At that time, we can hardly shirk the blame. After all In any case, horses are used by dance clubs."
The little maid was stunned for a moment, her almond eyes were wide open, she opened her mouth for a long time unable to speak, "Then, what should we do then."
"Hey, this matter can only wait and see how it changes." Yan Momo was very worried, her face was wrinkled together, "Besides, this old slave is also very worried about the prince."
The little maid was very puzzled, but seeing how Yan Yan didn't want to say more, she held back and didn't ask any more.
Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything else, Xian Yu looked away, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a slight movement of the spirit around him.
She frowned slightly, and followed the place where the aura fluctuated, and when she looked up, she saw a monk standing on the cornice.
Unfortunately, it was one of the monks who followed Li Zaiyu.
That person's cultivation is really extraordinary, and his clothes are also very different from those of Xu Zong's disciples. Looking at his clothes, the jade pendant on his waistband, and his hair crown, they are all worth a thousand gold. It is bestowed with great honor.
It seemed that this monk was deeply in Li Zaiyu's heart, even the suzerain of Xu Zong couldn't dress so richly, it seemed that Li Zaiyu treated them very differently.
Xian Yu thought to himself, logically speaking, Li Zaiyu should know that the two sects are very close to Li Wuyin, if he really has no intention of appointing the second prince as the heir, he will definitely be wary, so how dare he trust the two sects so much? people?
She couldn't figure it out, she just thought that Li Zaiyu was sick and dizzy.
On the other side, in Yangning Palace.
Li Qingning stepped down and walked slowly into the house with her hands on her heart. After the thin wooden door was closed, she asked: "During this period of time, the Royal Fragrance from Pinxiangfang
