Empress difficult

Meng Yan turned around and took two steps, realizing that he didn't know which way to go, stopped and said to Xie You'an nonchalantly: "Okay, you know the identities of those two people, go to their residence and see if you find anything .”

Xie You'an had just accepted Meng Yan Tianda's favor, and he was so excited that he lost his usual calmness and restraint. He nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and his words were full of joy: "This way, Your Majesty, be careful."

Xie You'an led the way briskly, Meng Yan followed on the stone road, a sharp pain came from the back of the neck, and the head suddenly sank even at the back of the head.

As if being stabbed by something, Meng Yan stood still while taking a step forward, and raised his hand to wipe his neck.There was nothing unusual, but the stiffness spread down, and the entire back seemed to be nailed to a key link, and it couldn't function properly.

Xie You'an was still talking about something, while turning his head, seeing Meng Mengyan not moving, he turned back: "Your Majesty?"

Meng Yan shook his head, the stiffness was broken, and he woke up in an instant: "Huh? What?"

Xie You'an replied: "If I remember correctly, the two people who drowned and the one outside the palace are fellow villagers."

"Where?"

"Northwest. Box state area."

Northwest... The structure of the world's territory is slightly different from the place Mengyan has been used to for 18 years, but generally the difference is not too much.Speaking of Northwest, what she thinks of is loess, wind and sand, dryness, and a place of bitter cold.

Xie Youan and his daughter were thrown out of the capital by the late emperor, and they went to the northwest.

Meng Yan squinted at the past, a little surprised: "Is it from yours?"

Xie Youan hastily retorted: "No! We are at the border, and Xiangzhou is closer to the capital."

Meng Yan said "oh", then asked after a pause, "What's the situation in these people's families, do they have any relatives?"

Xie Youan's excitement was suppressed, and he gradually calmed down. Hearing Mengyan's question, he lowered his voice and said, "I told my father that he will find someone to investigate the family background of these people."

Meng Yan instructed: "Quick, try to keep it secret."

Xie Youan raised his eyelids to look at her, lowered his eyes again, and said respectfully, "Yes!"

The hidden bayonets in the inner court are definitely the most urgent and urgent matter at the moment.

Meng Yan didn't remember how many roads she changed, she walked all the way to a very remote place, only to see a row of flat tiled houses with red roofs in front of her.Someone had already been waiting in front of the door, and seeing Meng Yan and Xie You'an from a long distance, they trotted all the way to the front with their big bellies dangling on their shoulders, and knelt down to salute.

Meng Yan glanced at his bald head, and walked around him.The man immediately got up and followed in small steps, his obsequious attitude was unobstructed: "Your Majesty, this way, please this way, those rebels live here. Oh, I'm just thinking about what I need for a while, Maybe I have to come here to look for it, I rushed over to guard it, and I didn't even let a fly in!"

Meng Yan looked at him and asked, "Then has anyone entered before you?"

"No! Absolutely not! I rushed over as soon as I heard about it!"

Xie You'an frowned slightly, and asked: "Where did you come from? Master He, you are in the position of bureaucratic supervisor, and you should be here at all times. You should be punished for leaving your post without permission!"

Master He trembled for a moment, his knees softened, and he knelt down to beg for mercy.Meng Yan was disturbed to hear that, and gave Xie You'an a look: "Remember first, whoever is loose and disorderly among the bureaucrats, find out and punish them together."

It is said that the new emperor is a fool, not too young, but he never handles personnel affairs.She doesn't have the slightest brain in her dealings, she only cares about flattery, whoever makes her happy will be rewarded.Why do you look at it now, it doesn't look like this!

Mr. He didn't dare to wipe the sweat from his forehead, he squinted his eyes to resist the sweat dripping on his eyelids, and moved to the side while thanking him, making way for him.

Meng Yan didn't squint, stepped into the low threshold, stopped breathing after a while.

Master He then held his breath, froze on the spot, not daring to make any movements.Xie Youan leaned over and took a look inside, but found nothing unusual, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

Meng Yan exhaled, and slowly replied: "It's nothing..."

It wasn't until the last syllable that she adjusted her breathing and raised her other foot into the house.

The room is flat and strip-shaped, and there is a row of beds against the inner wall, bunk next to each other, with pillows and thin quilts on top.

Meng Yan asked Mr. He: "Which one is theirs?"

After being asked a question, Mr. He dared to wipe off his sweat, and immediately replied: "The third picture on the left hand side, and the second picture on the east wall."

Meng Yan nodded, Xie Youan understood, stepped forward and lifted the pillow and mattress to check carefully.Meng Yan watched from the side, only to find that there was a wooden box under each bed, pull it out and open it, it contained clothes, letters and the like.

In this magnificent palace, the meanness hidden under the glamor is revealed in this corner.Crowded, brief, single.Compared with those garden rockeries with different styles from the past, people instantly blush and feel ashamed.

The emperor shouldn't be like this, but Mengyan is still eager to tear down this place and rebuild it.

Xie Youan took out a cloth bag and a box from the box, Mengyan regained consciousness, took them and opened them.Most of the bag of silver is heavy in the hand, quite overwhelming.Inside the box was a piece of black jade brave, with a golden tassel tied to it, and a crimson bright pearl embedded in the tassel.

Meng Yan doesn't understand the fineness of jade products, just looking at the fineness of this Pixiu accessory, it shouldn't be something that people who live in Datongpu can have.What's more, there is still half a bag of money, even if you don't eat or drink, you can't save so much.

Obviously, these people are not dead soldiers and loyal ministers, most of them have received money and bribes to run temporary errands.Meng Yan closed the lid and threw the purse to Mr. He: "What's wrong with them recently?"

"This, this, this... this, they are..."

Mr. He wiped off his sweat again, and stammered "this" for a long time without saying anything.Xie You'an sent him out to wait for the punishment, leaned close to Meng Yan's ear and said in a low voice: "It is rumored that Yin Zhengqing has a black jade brave that never leaves his body. It is nourished by the blood in the body..."

Meng Yan's hands trembled, and he almost threw the box out.

Xie You'an supported her hand, took a step forward, lowered his head and said, "Could this be the one from Yin Zhengqing?"

Meng Yan raised his other hand to cover the box, stuffed it forward into Xie You'an's arms, and then pulled his hand out.Fingernails scratched Xie You'an's palm, and the other party wanted to dodge for a moment, Meng Yan realized that this girl was so courageous now that she dared to hold the hand of the current Holy Majesty, and she could still remain so calm as if nothing had happened.

I really can't tell if this change is good or bad.

The sentence "the blood in the girl's body" is too graphic, Meng Yan rubbed the goosebumps on her arms: "Isn't it not leaving the body, why are you here?"

Xie You'an frowned and thought for a while: "Maybe it's a desperate attempt? I want to turn around with all my wealth?"

Meng Yan glanced at the box: "How sure are you?"

Xie You'an said honestly: "I'm not sure, but father should know some inside information, I'll ask father to appraise it."

Meng Yan instinctively wanted to refute her words again, her thoughts were stuck in her head, and she suddenly remembered the beating heart, so she couldn't say anything, and in the end, only: "Well, ask more carefully."

The moon was hazy, and a watcher walked by quietly, and it was already midnight.

Xie You'an escorted Meng Yan back to Qixiang Palace all the way, doing his duty conscientiously without showing any negative emotions.Putting aside his previous suspicions, Meng Yan suddenly couldn't bear to see her like this, and his guilt surged.

Meng Yan called Xie You'an who was about to go out, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xie You'an was still in the dark blue dress, and the hem of the skirt was still shaking slightly when she stopped, lingering gracefully.

"I'll go outside and watch."

Meng Yan looked at Chu Yun, who was rubbing his eyes and suppressing a yawn, turned his gaze away to a certain point, and left her with a slightly twisted voice: "Let's just sleep with General Chu Yun for one night - and he's not wearing a guard uniform, wandering around Not suitable."

Xie Youan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Isn't this even more appropriate?"

Meng Yan paused, wondering how much benevolence, righteousness and etiquette had been installed in this person's mind, so dogmatic that he couldn't understand what people said.

Chu Yun still couldn't hold back, let out a yawn, and muttered indistinctly: "Commander Xie, you still don't understand! My Majesty loves you because you are tired from running around in the middle of the night, so find a nearby bed and finish the work!"

Mengyan was exposed, she couldn't hold back her face, and reprimanded Chuyun: "Don't talk too much! How can you talk to Commander Xie!"

With a casual sentence, Chu Yun yawned halfway and swallowed it back abruptly, but Xie Youan hurriedly explained: "It's okay, it's okay! Chuyun is young, so it doesn't matter what to say!"

Mengyan: "..."

Can't you see that I'm not defending you right now!

Meng Yan waved his hand feebly: "If you're done, then step back, we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have something to do."

The fatigue after the big ups and downs roared in when it was quiet, Meng Yan was invaded by darkness when he touched the pillow, and slept until dawn.Xie Meng was waiting outside the hall, Meng Yan got up to wash up and let him in.

As soon as the Northwest rough man entered the door, he blew up a pot, and the thick voice bumped back and forth in the air, shaking people's hearts.Meng Yan took a deep breath to suppress this internal attack, raised his glass and took a sip of tea.

Xie Meng continued to yell as he walked: "Your Majesty! You were injured! You frightened the old minister!"

Does being hit by you count as an internal injury?

Meng Yan motioned him to sit down, Xie Meng didn't shy away from it, he sat down across the table, and said to Meng Yan, "I was worried that Your Majesty would make a mistake and say something that shouldn't be said. But I didn't expect that in the inner court I can also be a traitor, it's really... really thrilling!"

Meng Yan took a mouthful of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice porridge, and the sweet smell stimulated the chaotic brain after staying up late.The taste buds opened up, and the appetite improved. Meng Yan ate a bowl of porridge in the midst of Xie Meng's thoughts, and then put down the spoon to discuss serious matters.

"That Pixiu, did Xie Youan bring it to you?"

Xie Meng lowered his voice in an instant: "I saw it, it is indeed Yin Zhengqing's piece - at a banquet a few years ago, he was drunk and showed it once. Everyone was amazed at the beauty of the red bead, The first emperor thought that the bead was so red that it must be an ominous thing. The first emperor ordered it to be burned and buried, and no one has seen this thing since then."

Meng Yan felt his stomach churning when he heard the words "Hongzhu" and "Yaoyi".She asked curiously: "Does that mean that the bead is much more precious than Pixiu? Is it really raised in the girl's body?"

Xie Meng looked at Meng Yan with cold eyes instantly, the concern just now was swept away, and in a blink of an eye it became a severe reprimand.Meng Yan was taken aback by his sudden change, before he understood, Xie Meng said coldly:

"Your Majesty! Don't move those crooked thoughts!"

Mengyan: "..."

What am I thinking about me!
