What kind of bad thoughts can my grandpa have?

====================

Just when everyone was guessing whether there was a better candidate in the Su family, a decree suddenly came out from the palace.

The inner court decreed that the nobleman of Jinmei should be concubine Mei, and give a letter and a gold seal.

As soon as the edict came out, not to mention hundreds of officials, even the concubines in the harem were really shocked.Less than two months after Su Meizhi entered the palace, she had already been promoted, and was conferred the concubine again, and she had never heard of any gossip about it before. The speed of her promotion was unprecedented, and it was the first time in the court.

Ying Qihong also didn't expect the emperor to love Su Meizhi so much. Although he didn't care too much about the empress in the harem, Su Meizhi's promotion to concubine really shocked him.

"Empress Mother, did Emperor Father discuss this matter with you before issuing the decree?"

The current empress is graceful and luxurious, sitting upright in the upper seat, with a helpless face, she shook her head lightly, "No, not to mention my palace, even Wei Dade and Lord Wei suddenly received a decree to be promoted. I heard that Lord Wei still uses the etiquette system Because of this, I tried to persuade her, but the emperor insisted on her concubine."

Ying Qihong frowned, so there was no warning, and he insisted on going his own way, could it be that he was pregnant with a dragon fetus?

But Su Meizhi entered the palace for less than two months, which is too fast.

Ying Qihong continued to inquire, "Mother, has any imperial physician been in and out of Luoxi Palace recently?"

When the queen heard it, she suddenly understood what Ying Qihong was implying, and said: "My palace thought that Concubine Mei had just entered the palace, and she was negligent for a while, so she didn't think about it deeply. Don't worry, the crown prince, the queen mother will investigate it as soon as possible. .”

The mother and son were talking, when someone from the palace reported that Concubine Yin had arrived.

"Join the empress."

After Concubine Yin entered the palace to salute, she immediately asked Ying Qihong, "I'm bothering the empress and His Royal Highness, because King Xiao has not entered the palace for many days, and no one from Prince Xiao's mansion has come to report, just saying that he is out of the city. I have gone. I am thinking about my son, and I want to ask His Royal Highness, is Xiao Wang busy with government affairs recently? When will he return to Beijing?"

Ying Qihong was ashamed, his head hurt when he mentioned his fifth brother.

Ying Qiyan is not busy with work, he went to find Zhou Niansheng.

Some time ago, Zhou Niansheng sneaked out of the mansion while the people in Nanfu were not paying attention.This is not the first time he has escaped, but in the past, he would always be caught by Xiao Wang's men.But this time, Zhou Niansheng was able to escape successfully. After quietly leaving the city, he disappeared from under his nose.

At first Ying Qiyan didn't care, and only sent someone to look for him, but after searching for several days, he couldn't find half a person, so Ying Qiyan became anxious, and took the royal guards, and went out of the city to look for someone in person.

It was still the soldiers of his East Palace.

Ying Qihong really wanted to pry open his fifth brother's brain to see what kind of fresh grass was inside.

This matter cannot be made public no matter what, Ying Qihong corrected his expression, lied that his father had secretly dispatched important tasks, and finally fooled Concubine Yin away.

After hurriedly returning to the palace, Ying Qihong was just about to order the hidden guards to retrieve King Xiao, when a secret letter was delivered to him just in time.

It was Nan Chengyun's reply.

The content of the letter was concise, nothing more than some dispensable occasional remarks. Although there was no mention of Lin Jinnian's marriage contract, at the end of the letter, it was written that there was something very important and he would return to Beijing to report it as soon as possible.

Ying Qihong felt that Nan Chengyun was trying to cover up, maybe he still cared about Lin Jinnian, but he just didn't say it outright.

It's not easy to mix things up between the two of them, since Nan Chengyun decided to return to Beijing, everything will be easy to handle.

Regardless of whether it is Nan Fengjing or Nan Chengyun, as long as the hereditary prime minister is loyal to him, no matter how chaotic the situation in the court is, he can still have the strength to contend with the sixth brother.

At this moment, the prime minister's son who was far away in Pangzhuang City, was busy with other things with Xun Yuandao.

Yuan Xiaoyan has always been concerned about the same golden flower dragon pattern on Lei Tingjun's mansion as on the jewelry box of Mrs. Xue Hou, so he asked Nan Fengjing politely if the two had an intersection.

Nan Fengjing was a junior, so he was naturally not aware of the old affairs between Mrs. Xue and Lei Tingjun, but he noticed the clues in Yuan Xiaoyan's question, and after repeated questioning, Yuan Xiaoyan finally told about the golden flower dragon pattern.

Nan Fengjing was shocked, and called Xun Yuandao to investigate the matter together.

The two of Nan Xun visited Lei's mansion unannounced, and carefully looked at the strange texture on the wall in front of the Lei family's ancestral hall.

"Long Er, these statues that are neither dragons nor phoenixes look nothing special, are you sure there is a mystery in them?"

"Not sure." Nan Fengjing frowned, staring at the dilapidated high-rise that had been mostly demolished in front of him.In order to investigate Lei Tingjun's case of trafficking and killing people, he ordered the stinking ancestor hall to be demolished.Unexpectedly, Lei Tingjun's evil crimes are not over yet, and now he has to step into Lei's mansion again.

"Yuan Xiaoyan said that there are similar statue textures in Lei Tingjun's main room, let's go and have a look."

Xun Yuandao quickly followed.Although he also entered and exited Lei Tingjun's main room when he was investigating Lei Tingjun's case, but at that time he was focused on exploring the mysterious 'basement' and didn't notice these strange carvings. Looking at it now, it really shows a bit unusual to come.

"Sure enough, it is exactly the same as the texture carved in front of the ancestral hall." Xun Yuandao immersed himself in the comparison, and began to realize that the situation was not simple.

Nan Fengjing also knew that there must be something inside, but just relying on some wall statues, it is obviously impossible to deduce that Mrs. Xuehou is Lei Tingjun's accomplice.The world is so big and there are so many image patterns, it is a coincidence and it is possible, it is definitely not fair to determine responsibility hastily.

"It seems that we have to check whether Lei Tingjun and Mrs. Xue have any old friendship in the past."

Nan Fengjing knocked on the golden dragon pattern on the wall a few times, and said, "Although Old Hou Xue is no longer here, it is not difficult to guarantee that he and Lei Tingjun once had friendship."

Xun Yuandao naturally understood and let out a light 'hmm'.

"There is also Gui Sanniang, she is just an ordinary woman, but she actually has a precious bracelet that is exactly the same as Mrs. Xue Hou. Such a coincidence makes me have to doubt her relationship with Mrs. Xue."

"It's getting more and more complicated." Xun Yuandao stared at the lifelike dragon face on the dragon pattern, "Gu insects, gold, ferry boats, and now the golden flower dragon pattern in this room, I always feel that all these things are connected .”
