After the prosperous Tang Dynasty
Chapter 147
The guard nodded and told Xiao Yansui in a low voice about the fact that someone was following them when the party went outside Chang'an today.He also sent someone to follow behind, and only rushed over to report after confirming the identity of the other party.
"Who?" A figure flashed in Xiao Yansui's mind, but he wasn't surprised, but he needed to be sure.
The guard said: "Two groups of people went to Princess Wan'an's residence one after another."
Xiao Yansui was slightly taken aback, "Two groups of people?"
"Yes," the guard obviously knew that this situation was absolutely abnormal.
Xiao Yansui pondered for a moment, "Someone deliberately framed Princess Wan'an? Strange..."
--Princess Wan'an is annoying, but, a princess with no real power, who would dare to intentionally frame her?
Xiao Yansui stood where she was, frowning slightly in thought.
The guard stood aside and didn't say much, but Axiu was a little anxious to wait, and tentatively greeted not far away.
Xiao Yansui glanced over at the reputation, then turned to the guard and said, "Can you find out?"
The guard hesitated for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, and then hastily added: "I can only stare, but I'm afraid I don't have enough time..."
Without him, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and according to the plan at the beginning of the period, Xiao Yansui will leave Chang'an City again in a few days.He was sent by Xiao Song this time as Xiao Yansui's bodyguard, so he will definitely go back together.
"Look at it first!" Xiao Yansui said lightly, "Is there a portrait of the two people you found? Give me one later."
The guard didn't know what Xiao Yansui was going to do, so he just nodded and responded immediately.
Xiao Yansui then turned around, called Axiu, and went to her mother Pei's yard.
Even though he just came back from playing outside with Li Tan for a day, Xiao Yansui himself always acted as if nothing happened, and seeing Pei Shi, she felt somewhat puzzled.
However, after a meal, she found that Xiao Yansui was really calm as usual, and Mrs. Pei gradually got used to it.
After the meal, no one was in a hurry to leave. When the family got together to talk, Xiao Yansui didn't wait for the others to obviously think about their words, and said directly, which could be said to be preemptive and calm: "Aniang, I plan to go back to my hometown at the beginning of next month, and Aunt is alone there, so everyone is worried."
"..." There was a sudden silence in the room.
The big Buddha Xiao Song was put out by Xiao Yansui without any hesitation, and he had to wait for anything else.
In particular, even though he knew early on that Xiao Yansui would not stay for long when he came back this time, but he just knew it in his heart, and now that he has suddenly set a date for his return, the feeling is still different.
Pei's eyes flickered for a moment, and even the smile on his face seemed to fade, showing a clear reluctance.
For a while, all those words and questions about Li Tan were put on hold--Xiao Yansui himself is leaving again, so what's the point of mentioning other things?
When the family finished chatting and came out of the house, the night in the courtyard was dark.
Fortunately, not long after the [-]th day of August, the moon hanging high in the sky still looked very round and bright, and the silver light sprinkled all over the sky, and the courtyard seemed to be covered with a layer of moonlight, with deep light and shadow, quiet and quiet.
The family's footsteps broke the night here, Mrs. Pei watched her three children come out of the house, and then they went back to their rooms.
After saying hello to Xiao Wu and Xiao Heng, Xiao Yansui turned around to go back, but after walking a few steps, Xiao Heng followed.
"Brother?" Xiao Yansui subconsciously stopped.
"Let's talk," Xiao Heng said with a smile as he walked beside her.
Xiao Yansui nodded.
After turning a corner in the aisle and losing sight of the courtyard where mother Pei lived, the two siblings stopped in tacit agreement.
Xiao Yansui casually ordered: "Axiu, you go back first."
Because Xiao Heng was present, Axiu naturally nodded and left quietly without saying a word.
After only two brothers and sisters were left, Xiao Heng and Xiao Wu walked slowly around their yard again in the moonlight, "Is it cold?" Xiao Heng asked.
Xiao Yansui shook her head, without any delay, she simply asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled warmly: "Liu Niang, sometimes, elder brother can't figure out your plan."
"Oh?" Xiao Yansui turned her head to look at him. Under the hazy moonlight, the brothers and sisters looked unclear, but the outlines of the eyebrows and eyes formed by the same blood showed a faint similarity.
In addition, Xiao Heng and Xiao Yansui were by Xiao Song's side for a long time when they were young, and they were greatly influenced by him. Sometimes, even the tone of their speech actually reveals a similar style.
"What do you want to ask?" Xiao Yansui said frankly, "I'll tell you everything."
"..." After a brief silence, Xiao Heng smiled helplessly: "Are you asking someone to investigate Princess Wan'an?"
Xiao Yansui also paused for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "I just asked someone to do it, and you found out about it so soon? You are too careless in doing things, who else knows?"
Xiao Heng explained: "Your guard is the man who needs to be around Ah Weng. I am afraid that many people in Chang'an City know his face. If you want to investigate Princess Wan'an, he must not go there in person. , I only found out when the people in the family were mobilized, and, in fact, he undoubtedly kept this kind of thing--"
"Oh," Xiao Yansui nodded nonchalantly, "Then I understand, the affairs of my family are nothing, as long as Princess Wan'an or other outsiders find out by mistake."
Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "You will go to your hometown in a few days, this matter, even if you find some clues, how will you deal with it--"
"Isn't that just the right way to take people away?" Xiao Yansui said, this is what she had actually called out early in the morning.
Even if Princess Wan'an can send her out to do this kind of thing, even if she is not a real confidant, she must be more reliable.
Coincidentally, after Xiao Yansui left Chang'an City all the way, he picked up those two people on the way and made arrangements. It was definitely not a trick.
When she got to her hometown, didn't she just ask whatever she wanted?Just in time, perhaps grandfather Xiao Song could think of something else after seeing the same confession.
After all, Xiao Yansui herself was still of limited age, and she had a premonition about Princess Wan'an's question. The final answer would inevitably fall on the well-informed grandfather Xiao Song who also knew a little about the secrets of the royal family.
This question passed, and after a few more steps, Xiao Heng finally couldn't help asking: "Zhao Junzhuo--"
Xiao Yansui looked up at him in surprise.
Xiao Heng continued: "And Li Tan and Liu Niang from the East Palace, what do you think?"
"..." Xiao Yansui looked at him speechlessly.
Xiao Heng quickly closed his mouth silently.
However, just when Xiao Heng regretted his question, Xiao Yansui spoke again, and gave the answer neatly, "Zhao Junzhuo, a person I knew before."
Xiao Heng was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "That's it?"
"Otherwise?" Xiao Yansui asked him back.
Xiao Heng shook his head, smiled suddenly, reached out and touched his sister's head, "No, it's nothing."
The little girl who was once a little bean has grown up gradually.In the past, when Xiao Heng wanted to touch his younger sister's head, he had to bend down, but now, the little girl at that time has become the height of his shoulders, and he can only make the same movement by raising his hand.
However, after two years of separation, the teenage girl's appearance is still a little immature, but in those still bright eyes, there is much more precipitation than before.
As for Li Tan, Xiao Yansui thought for a while, but did not answer, and Xiao Heng did not continue to ask, the two brothers and sisters seemed to ignore this topic tacitly.
After making a big circle around the garden at home, Xiao Heng sent his sister all the way back to her yard, and said in a gentle voice: "It's getting late, go and rest!"
Xiao Yansui nodded.
When Xiao Heng passed through several arches by himself and returned to his yard, he was surprised to see that Xiao Wu was standing there, looking at him with bitterness and hatred on his face.
Xiao Heng: "..."
"You threw me away just now, and I guessed that you definitely didn't come back directly." Xiao Wu's tone was very certain.
Xiao Heng coughed lowly, and after being captured for a short while, he quickly replied naturally: "Say a few words with Liu Niang."
Xiao Wuren was a little ghost, and said directly: "Don't all treat Liu Niang as a child, she actually knows it in her heart."
As the elder brother who is not a few years older than Xiao Yansui, Xiao Wu has always had a tacit understanding that he and his sister are working together.When Xiao Yansui was in his hometown, many things that Mr. Pei and Xiao Heng didn't mention were actually given to Xiao Yansui by Xiao Wutou.
Xiao Heng couldn't help laughing, and really wanted to say to Xiao Wu, "What do you know?" However, thinking about what Xiao Wu said just now, he swallowed his own words, and stared at Xiao Wu suspiciously, Asked: "Do you know anything?"
Xiao Wu didn't tell himself, "I know and I won't tell you!"
Xiao Heng: "..."
Xiao Wu: "..."
After the two brothers stared at each other for a while, Xiao Wu jumped up and fled, "I'm going to rest."
It can probably be guessed that Xiao Wu and Xiao Yansui had passed their anger in private before, Xiao Heng was stunned, and couldn't help but shook his head, this is really...
·
Early the next morning, the guards sent over the portraits of the two suspicious people.
Xiao Yansui glanced at it, and the corner of her mouth twitched, obviously leaning towards the "resemblance" style of painting.
She took out a homemade pencil and beckoned to the guard, "Come on, make up some more strokes." Although she didn't study art, at least she could draw prominent features such as the thickness of eyebrows and the size of eyes. Be a little clearer.
At least after making the portraits more realistic, Xiao Yansui put away the two portraits and sent someone to deliver a letter to Li Tan.
Staying alone in the study, while waiting for the letter, Xiao Yansui was distracted for a moment.
Except for the relatives of the Xiao family, she would trust him so much.
——It seems that from the very beginning, the level of trust between her and Li Tan was very high.
"Who?" A figure flashed in Xiao Yansui's mind, but he wasn't surprised, but he needed to be sure.
The guard said: "Two groups of people went to Princess Wan'an's residence one after another."
Xiao Yansui was slightly taken aback, "Two groups of people?"
