The lady of a good match

At the end of February and the beginning of March, Yingli participated in the imperial examination in Tianshu City, and Wei Shuhan and Linchuan rushed to Nanhan City.

There is no need to worry about Yingli, as a talent who has been appointed by the emperor, he will not be far behind anyway.

As for Nanhan City, although Wei Shuhan did not say what the current situation in Nanhan City is, Yan Qing believes that as long as Wei Shuhan is here, no matter what happens, he will deal with it, and the people sent by the emperor are also on the way, so there will be no big troubles .

As the cold spring gradually receded, Yan Qing stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, the sun was setting and the green shoots growing on the surrounding tree branches were full of vitality, although there were many things to do, the mood was not heavy at all.

It has been more than half a year since he was reborn. From the very beginning, he was anxious and flustered, worried that he could not take good care of his family and could not change the fate of the family. Now everything is going smoothly and easily. He has gradually got used to letting go of anxiety and enjoying the current life. Many things in this life are the same as in the previous life. They are all different, and the more variables there are, the different endings will be.

Of course, the main reason is because of Wei Shuhan's presence. Although a big man's love for his sons and daughters hurts his heroic spirit, he really thinks it's great that he can marry his wife.

"Master, the second young master sent an urgent letter."

Chen Xiang came up from behind to pass the message respectfully, holding a letter in his hand.

"Huh?" Yan Qing turned around and stretched out his hand, "Didn't you just receive one the day before yesterday?"

Chen Xiang also smiled:

"Yeah, maybe the second young master forgot to add something."

Yan Qing smiled and opened the letter to read, there were only a few words on it, but Yan Qing's expression became serious:

"This? How could..."

Chen Xiang was puzzled: "Master, what's wrong?"

Yan Qing frowned, confirmed it again and replied:

"Second brother said that Yang Heng has become the chief eunuch, and he is still serving in front of the imperial court, which is highly valued by the emperor."

In order to avoid accidents, he has never contacted Yang Heng since he came back from the capital. He did not expect such an important thing to happen...

Chen Xiang was also surprised: "Eunuch Yang? The one who came to receive us when we came to Beijing during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year?"

"That's right." Yan Qing nodded, "Second brother only knew about it when he saw Yang Heng who was going to the mansion to send a message on the eve of the imperial examination."

This is also the reason for Yingli's hasty letter.

Chen Xiang thought for a while and nodded:

"This is a good thing. After all, he is on good terms with us. It will be much easier for you to do anything in the future, young master... But what about the original chief eunuch?"

Yan Qing glanced at her, pondered for a while and said in a low voice:

"The former head of the eunuch Wang Haiqiao died in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. No, the second brother said that Eunuch Yang revealed that Wang Haiqiao was actually assassinated and died. It's just that the emperor ordered that he died of illness."

"Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival..." Chen Xiang murmured, and suddenly said in surprise after a while, "Could it be that Eunuch Wang died because of the accident in the palace?"

Combined with Yang Heng's reminder to Yan Qing at that time, it is indeed true.

Yan Qing nodded:

"It was that time...and I think he was killed by Jing Mo. Jing Mo's mission that time was to assassinate him in the palace."

If someone could kill someone in the palace, then all he could think of was Jingmo. In his previous life, he was asked to see him in a disguised form in the temple. Jingmo could come and go freely and give him poison, but ordinary people couldn't do it.

Moreover, the timing of Wang Haiqiao's assassination and the circumstances of all parties were just right. It was so difficult that Jingmo could be injured, and ordinary people in the world could not know who was killed. It could only be the palace.

But, who ordered Jingmo to kill Wang Haiqiao?

Assassinating in the palace is not easy. The masters in the palace are like clouds and nets. If you don't plan properly, let alone murder, you may be arrested if you step into the forbidden area of ​​the palace. To be able to assassinate successfully, you must be very clear about the situation in the palace, including Wang Haiqiao. whereabouts.

As the head of the imperial court, most of the time Wang Haiqiao stayed by the emperor's side, and the chance of assassinating him was very rare, unless there were some special circumstances or he could be lured away...

Yan Qing's thoughts were spinning, Chen Xiang also frowned lightly, and after a while he said puzzledly:

"What kind of person has trouble with a eunuch in the palace? He does not hesitate to hire a hunter from the rivers and lakes to enter the palace to take his life. The courts of the rivers and lakes have always been innocent. If they are found out, it will be a felony."

"I do not know either."

Yan Qing was also puzzled. One must know that Wang Haiqiao, who was over sixty years old, died of a cold and cold on the eve of the accident in the Yan family in his previous life, and it was in his home outside the palace. Now, who wants him to die?

Could it be that there was something hidden about Wang Haiqiao's death in his previous life?

After Chen Xiang pondered for a while, he said:

"Eunuch Wang was assassinated on the same day as the oiran in Rouge Pavilion was assassinated. I don't know if there is any connection."

"..." When Yan Qing was reminded by her, he suddenly realized that he had no access to the Rouge Pavilion in his previous life, and Wang Haiqiao was an old fox. He only regarded him as the person next to the emperor. Naturally, I don't know anything. Now that I think about it carefully, I am afraid that there are probably inextricable connections in all of them.

As an old man who served two generations of emperors, Wang Haiqiao must know a lot of things. If he is connected with some forces outside the palace, then it is reasonable to know Yuechan.

In addition, he remembered that Wang Haiqiao was very close to Prince Ming. If Wang Haiqiao was close to Prince Ming, what about Yuechan?

In his previous life, Prince Ming thoroughly investigated the great meritorious officials of the Yan family. He was one of the people entrusted by the late emperor to assist the emperor. Wang Haiqiao was an old man who served two generations of kings... Is there any other twists and turns in this?

The deeper I think about Yan Qing, the more frightened I feel, as if stepping into an invisible abyss, there is a feeling of suffocation.

Seeing that his expression was not right, Chen Xiang took a step forward with concern: "Master..."

"It's okay," Yan Qing shook off his thoughts and recovered, "I'll write back to my second brother and ask him to pay attention to safety in the capital. For the time being, these things have nothing to do with us. If we know it, we should not provoke them, so as not to provoke them before the time comes. unnecessary trouble."

No matter who the other party was or what purpose they had for killing Wang Haiqiao and Yuechan, although it didn't seem to be beneficial to them at the moment, there was no harm either. It would be useless to speculate that he was not in the capital now, so he could only wait and see what happened.

Chen Xiang: "Yes."

Yan Qing groaned for a moment and returned to a slightly relaxed tone:

"How about this, I will send a letter to the capital to give Hongyao and ask her to prepare a congratulatory gift for Eunuch Yang in my name, what do you think?"

Wang Haiqiao died, and Yang Heng took the position ahead of time, so we must pay close attention to Yang Heng's line.

Chen Xiang agrees:

"That's good too. Eunuch Yang is also knowledgeable about current affairs. He can make it convenient for us in the future. Moreover, he can be highly valued by the emperor and has nothing to do with the young master. Since you, young master, were summoned by the emperor, the people in the palace are afraid. I can't help but be ready to move, how could this old fox, Eunuch Yang, not seize the opportunity."

Yang Heng will definitely make good friends with the Yan family, but it is also necessary for them to take the initiative to solicit relations at the right time.

Yan Qing smiled appreciatively: "You are right."

After Chen Xiang stepped back, Yan Qing went back to the study, and carefully recalled the things about being able to get in touch with Wang Haiqiao in his previous life before the desk, but found that he really didn't know anything, it seems that he can only wait until he goes to Beijing to investigate .

As for Jingmo, he didn't think that Jingmo would tell him that Jingmo's principle of hunting hunters was well kept, so he decided not to ask.
