Chapter 141 Hidden Situation

The rewards from the palace were indeed neatly stacked in her room.

There are gold, silver, silk and satin, as well as jade, stone, and agate.

Every one comes from Princess Shen Zhiyi of Leyang.

Jiang Xuening returned to the house from outside, and Tang Erlian, the two little girls, had not seen her own girl for a long time. Seeing her come back, she had lost a lot of weight and her complexion was not very good. She was so emaciated that she couldn't help but feel heartbroken and chatter about it.

Ask the left sentence and read the right sentence.

Jiang Xuening didn't answer a word. After they had taken care of her grooming, she didn't even ask about the recent situation in the capital and sent them out, sitting alone inside the house.

A bright candle lit on the desk.

Jiang Xuening watched the flickering flames for a long time, and a tear wrapped around the candle fell down the edge. She blinked.

All sounds are silent.

She stood up and walked to the dressing table, her face not painted under the candlelight reflected in the diamond shaped mirror.

With a soft snap.

She opened the tightly fastened dowry, opened the bottom compartment, and wrapped a high-quality Hetian Qingyu bracelet in a pink handkerchief.

"Ning Ning, Auntie, please do something. If you go back to the mansion and see the young lady, please help me hand this over to her..."

When Wanniang was on her deathbed, her sorrowful face flashed back before her eyes.

She clenched her hand tightly, her eyes rolling in the world wide open, as if afraid she wouldn't agree, as if filled with guilt and pain.

But who is that for?

Jiang Xuening couldn't recall for sure.

She wished there was also a star and a half that belonged to her there.

But it wasn't until Wanniang lost her temper that the servants from the capital forcefully broke open her still holding hand, and she didn't wait for the answer she wanted.

"Is there nothing left for me?"

She took the bracelet out of her dowry, turned her back to the candlelight shining on her desk, and looked at it for a long time. After all, tears rolled down her eyes, but a sarcastic smile overflowed on her lips.

My fingers slowly clenched the bracelet tightly.

For a moment, she wanted to throw this thing.

Just pretend it never existed.

At the moment when Ke raised his hand, he felt himself unbearable and despicable, as well as the increasingly ridiculous sadness highlighted by those two contrasting photos

"Shh."

So he really laughed out loud.

Jiang Xuening eventually threw the bracelet onto the table and slowly lay back on the bed, but couldn't sleep with her eyes open.

In the New Year, the capital is a bustling time.

The lantern festival will be open for three consecutive days. Those who visit relatives will visit the shopping market.

Although the weather is suddenly cold, it's rare to see people everywhere you go.

In tea houses and restaurants, there are many old masters who leisurely walk birds, fight crickets on the street on weekdays, and when they sit down, it is inevitable that they will talk nonsense.

Actually, after all, it's just a trivial matter.

But this year, something extraordinary happened.

Last night, Lv Xian ate at Xie Wei's place and didn't sleep well all night. He got up early and was ready to go to the Shuxiang Inn to see how the silver stocks of the Ren family's salt farm were rising.

Just came too early, the news about the silver stocks hasn't arrived yet.

He ordered a bowl of tea and sat upstairs, enjoying a handful of melon seeds while listening to the lively conversation downstairs.

"Did you hear about it?"

"I heard about it."

===Kunning Section 185===

"I've heard about it too."

"Haha, this is not just that lucky people have their own destiny, good people will eventually have good karma!"

"Oh, what kind of riddles are these gentlemen playing this morning?"

"Don't you know yet?"

"What you said is confusing to me. I have become ignorant and ignorant. Recently, there has been a major incident in the capital? Is it the eradication of the Heavenly Cult?"

"It's a bit related, it's not this one."

"What on earth?"

"Ha ha ha zhou master is seven or eight years ago to the capital, do not know is normal, you a few can be good heart, don't take fun of him. I could not believe that he could still come back alive. I do not know that in so many years, in the outside to eat how much bitter, suffered how many evil ah!"

"Poor white pagoda temple forest of steles that three hundred righteousness children tomb ah..."

The head of the zhou master, is really more listen to more confused, not asking the cause of the matter.

Then the old man explained it to him with some ostentation.

So he was told before and after the rebellion.

Lu Xian listened, nothing but so serious thing.

The king of Pingnan entered the capital, into the palace, did not catch the prince at that time, so came up with a cruel way, the capital up and down all the age appropriate children all caught to identify, found that all are not, with the lives of the children hiding in the queen and prince appeared.

There are three hundred people, where can the parents see the children like this?

The city was a cry of sorrow.

"That is a winter, really really poor, the people are kneeling on the long street, begging against the party to catch them, don't catch the children. Ouch I can also listen to, really really worried? You say, but who can hear a sense of compassion? Visible pingnan king that old king eight grandson is a beast!

"How can huang nobles be held by others?

"If he wants to fall into the hands of the rebellious party, the rebellious party will not succeed, won't we finish it? This critical moment, or loyal ministers will be reliable ah."

That week master a zheng: " is what you say that 'must not world son'?"

"Isn't it?

"At that time, the little son is only seven years old, the father is now the new Duke of Xiao in the government, the mother is the pearl of the old prince of the past, this can really be containing the gold title jade born to the world, play a small clever, heard that in addition to learning the piano slowly, other are not forget the prodigy. When the first emperor was present, the prince had long asked him to seal the son, in the future is sure to inherit the government. Yong yi Hou Fu did not have an accident before, you listen to that Yan little marquis fierce?

"But I want to say, still leave the past eight zhangs away!"

The listener involuntarily stirred.

Lu Xian was enjoying listening upstairs.

The man spoke vividly as if he had seen it with his own eyes. That's almost right, just that man's piano?

Fawn gently a frown, his heart can not scold a: people than people can really his mother angry.

Downstairs, everyone had pricked up their ears.

Even the shopkeeper forgot the plan to dish, looked up to see.

The man who spoke drank tea to moisten his voice, and then continued: " In that time, he was very popular with the empress in the palace. During the accident, he was in the palace with Lady Yan, naturally protecting his highness and hiding with the empress. How else to say Xiao Yan two loyal liver righteousness courage, dedicate all the country? At that time, one side is the lives of three hundred innocent children, the other side is in the endangered prince, that time only seven years old Dingfei son ah, actually take the initiative to stand out, with the prince prince changed his clothes!"

Field immediately have a lot of people surprised "ah" a sound, is obviously to guess a few minutes.

The man said: " Yes, this is a way of plum! Ding Fei shizi walking in the palace since childhood, the eunuchs recognized him, also familiar with the etiquette of the palace, and he is seven years old, and the eight-year-old prince prince similar age, size is not far away, and the sex is very alert. If he pretended to be crown prince, take the initiative to appear in front of the king of Pingnan rebellious party, let the king of Pingnan put those children, is a pile of nature."

Master Zhou remembered something: "But the White Pagoda temple those forests of steles..."

Someone answered: " The king of Pingnan and other vicious people, once they think they took the prince, where will they leave others alive? Naturally, they all killed them clean. When reinforcements into the city, take not the son to do hostage, about just found that the hand is a false, in a rage of nature also killed it! Only a poor seven-year-old child, Zhilan Yushu has not yet grown up, but by this accident died! Xiao Yan two people in the palace door of the pile of frozen corpse mountain digging for a long time, only to find his body disguised as prince when the dragon and the clothes, the rest are some broken bones, but I do not know who is the..."

"Make evil!"

"I heard that during those months the capital cried at midnight, which was creepy. It was not until the court collected the bones of these poor children to the White Pagoda Temple, buried beside the Chaoyin Pavilion, erected a forest of steles, carved the name, asked the monks in the temple to recite seven days and nine months, then to the angry death of the children of the..."

"But now it's determined that the Crown Prince is still alive?"

The person clearly thought it was a strange thing and couldn't help but smack their lips and say, "This is not it! It has been spread throughout the capital since I woke up early this morning, and I can't believe there is such a thing as resurrection from death in the world! But it's reasonable to think about it. After all, Lady Yan said she didn't find anyone back then. With clothes and jade pendants, when it snows, people will already be flesh and blood blurry when touched, and there is no way to recognize a person. Everyone's child looks similar.". I heard it was very unfortunate, as if it had fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Sect. Thanks to the young master Xie of that dynasty, he was able to save the person this time. It can be seen that the heavens have eyes. Such loyal rulers and good officials are truly blessed and destined! "

What people believe in in the market is the word "Fu Bao".

Upon hearing that person say so, everyone nodded in gratitude, but was somewhat pleased for this destined prince.

Only Lv Xian, who was sitting upstairs, gave a lukewarm smile and suddenly interjected, "The brother downstairs seems to know a lot. How can he feel like he saw it with his own eyes? Can it be that he was working in the palace back then?"

That person didn't expect someone to come and criticize.

Looking up, it turned out to be Mr. Lv, the owner of the Youhuang Pavilion. He couldn't help but face up and quickly arched his hand. He smiled drowsily and said, "Hey, isn't this just hearsay? Let's have some fun talking to everyone. But you guessed correctly. I heard this news when a eunuch who had worked in the palace was released.". However, his health was not good, and he finally came out of the palace with money. Not long after, he fell ill and died. I feel ashamed to say that I am now able to make a fortune thanks to the money he left behind in the past

This person is not a big shot among the businessmen in the capital, after all, there are many powerful people under the feet of the emperor.

But no one expected that there was still this layer of connection in between, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

But there are also a few people who know him and know that what he said is not false.

Although Lv Xian is a businessman, he was once a jinshi and a poor scholar in the Hanlin Academy. Secondly, he secretly did some bullshit things for Xie Wei, and his heart twisted and twisted one after another, it was not as simple as the person below.

Although that person knew what to say casually, he could hear the clues.

Isn't a eunuch who worked as a eunuch in the palace and was released after knowing about this matter dying soon?

He ate another melon seed and raised his eyebrows with great interest. "If I had to tell you that, then the Crown Prince must have been with his mother Lady Yan back then. Normally, Lady Yan would have known and agreed to the Crown Prince's voluntary sacrifice to save the Lord. But how did I hear that not long after the siege of the capital was lifted, Lady Yan fell out with Duke Xiao and went straight back to the Marquis's Mansion. There has been no further interaction between the Xiao and Yan families?"

The person below was immediately taken aback.

Others couldn't help but be shocked: I just heard people talking so much before, how come this question really makes me feel a bit strange?

Someone probed and said, "Boss Lv, do you know any hidden information?"

Lv Xian rolled his eyes and said, "I want to know what else I'm asking you to do!"

This appearance couldn't be more genuine, so everyone was relieved and turned to thinking: Where can ordinary people know about the affairs of the Heavenly Family? The only thing that can be pitiful is just the innocent children buried in the snow among the three hundred bones.

Early in the morning, the cold sunlight rose from the east and slanted on the White Marble railings in front of the Huangji Hall.

The courtiers have arrived, bowing their heads and standing solemnly.

Emperor Shen Lang was dressed in a dark five clawed golden dragon robe, with a twelve crown crown on his head. He sat high on the dragon chair behind the imperial table, with a face that was somewhat obscure in the Golden Luan Hall.

Xie Wei, among the officials and officials in the lower left corner, rarely wore a neat and dignified court uniform. Compared to the ordinary Taoist robe, he lacked a bit of seclusion and grandeur, but still did not diminish his lofty spirit, but appeared a bit more sharp.

But it still doesn't measure up, just right.

He had a three part smile on his face and only looked up at Shen Lang, with a faint reminder in his voice: "Your Highness, it must be that the Crown Prince has been waiting outside the palace for a long time."
