When the sky was getting dark, the princess mansion came again.
The person who came here was from Lu's house, because he wanted to see Lu Qipei. At noon, King Wei went to the Lu Mansion to search for a while. Although nothing was found, the Lu family was eventually taken to the Jingzhao Mansion for questioning.
In the middle of the afternoon, the talents of the Lu Mansion were released one after another, but at that time, it was unknown whether Qi Yang and the others had returned to the mansion, so they did not rush to the door. It wasn't until it was getting late, that Lu Qipei would have to go back to the house anyway, and the people of the Lu family came to the door.
Naturally, Lu Qipei would not hide this from Qi Yang, and the two of them met the person together.
Unlike Qi Bo, the younger generation of the Lu family are not so persistent in hatred, and even those with low identities simply don't know the past. Therefore, they accepted Qi Yang well, and people who came to see the princess would not feel surprised or rejected, and there was no hatred. He saluted in a proper manner, with his eyebrows lowered and his head lowered, there was nothing unusual about it.
Lu Qipei was somewhat satisfied with the newly elected housekeeper, so he asked, "Why are you looking for me so late?"
Her question was really heartfelt, as if she didn't know that the Lu Mansion was searched today.
The new housekeeper was silent for a moment, and then he replied, "It's because the mansion was searched at noon." He looked up at Lu Qipei slightly, and seeing her normal expression, he was sure that she really knew about it, so he continued Said: "Before the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion entered the mansion, Xiao Liu found something different in the warehouse. After opening it, he saw a pile of fire and medicine inside. We just disposed of it on the front foot, and the yamen on the back foot came."
When Qi Yang heard the words, his face changed slightly, and he turned to look at Lu Qipei. The latter did not change his face, and continued to ask: "Where did the fire and medicine come from? Apart from that Zhang Wu, other people in the mansion were bought off?!"
You know, the warehouse is not an ordinary place, and normal people are always guarded by confidants. In particular, the key to the warehouse, which used to be held by Zibo, is now owned by the new butler. Lu Qipei kept it in the princess' mansion, and no one else could get it.
Hearing this, the new butler's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly leaned over and said, "The villain is loyal to the Lu family, and I hope the son will see it clearly!"
Lu Qipei didn't doubt him, this new housekeeper really has a problem, she will be in big trouble today. It's just that Qi Bo is gone. After the Lu family's control has been loosened, it has become a target for others, and she should beat it.
Now that the beating is almost done, he said, "What the hell is going on, tell me in detail."
The new housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "It's a rule left by Qi Bo, the warehouse should be checked every day. The villain did not dare to neglect, he had already opened the warehouse to check in the early morning, and there was no abnormality. But noon Shi Xiaoliu passed by the warehouse, but found that the door lock was different, so he hired a villain to open the door. After we opened the door, we found a whole box of fire and medicine in the corner of the warehouse!"
Having said this, the new housekeeper paused slightly and said again: "We don't have this thing in our house. We bought some firecrackers during Chinese New Year, and they were all put away as early as the first day of the new year. Shangyuan, Shangyuan came out like that again. How dare the government keep such sensitive things..."
In front of the princess, the new housekeeper is not good to mention the assassination case of Chaoyang Tower, but there were many witnesses on that day, who in Beijing did not know that the prince and the late emperor were killed by the fire and powder hidden in the dragon lantern? In addition to being used as fireworks and firecrackers, this thing is sensitive at other times, and it is naturally not to mention now. At this time, don't talk about hoarding fire and medicine in the house, but if there are any fireworks left at home, they will quickly dispose of them.
Although Qi Bo is no longer in charge of the Lu Mansion, but the others are not fools. Besides, if the Lu family is really related to the Chaoyanglou case, and such clear evidence is put at home, does it mean that he didn't die fast enough? !
All in all, this thing is full of pitfalls.
Of course, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei didn't let go of the details. For example, the timing of the appearance of the box of fire and medicine was not even earlier, and it was almost planted in cooperation with King Wei. Another example is the storeroom of the Lu family. The Lu family is not an ordinary official family. Under the circumstance that the outside is loose and the inside is tight, it is not easy to unknowingly stuff the bag of fire and medicine into the Lu family's storeroom!
Qi Yang thought of something, his eyes darkened, and he whispered in Lu Qipei's ear, "Dark guard."
The dark guards of the royal family are naturally not unique to Qiyang. In fact, all adult princes and princesses have them, with more or less differences. Now that the late emperor passed away, all his dark guards should have been handed over to the little emperor, but in addition, the dark guards of the kings and princesses have never been taken back.
Unlike other concubines or princesses, Lu Qipei knew that these dark guards existed, so he nodded lightly. Then I heard the new housekeeper continue: "The fire and medicine were too weird, and the villain was afraid that someone would frame the blame, so he asked Xiaoliu to move out quickly. Less than half an hour later, Jingzhao Mansion As expected, the yamen came to the door to search."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of Zhang Wu mentioned by Lu Qipei, so he said again: "There is also Zhang Wu. I don't know, the son is a cheater. He owed gambling debts a few days ago, and he wanted to steal something when he returned to the house. , has been kicked out.”
Therefore, it's not that he doesn't care about Zhang Wu being bribed or something, but he can't control it anymore.
After hearing this explanation, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei couldn't help looking at each other.
Lu Qipei explained a few more words and sent the person away.
As soon as they left, only the husband and wife were left in the room, and Qi Yang said, "It's obvious that someone has framed this."
Lu Qipei nodded, thought about it, and then shook his head: "It was King Wei who came forward to embarrass me today, but I always felt that it wasn't like he did the framing. When he was in the Xuanshi Palace, the look he looked at me was really certain. I'm guilty, not complacent."
Of course Qi Yang noticed it, and at the same time she felt that King Wei's brain would not be able to act so vividly, on the contrary, his brain was easy to be used by others. He nodded immediately and said, "I'll send someone to check it out. There's also the portrait of Xie Yuan, and I'll have someone check it out to see if it's real, and where it came from."
Hearing this, Lu Qipei smiled and then asserted, "That painting is fake."
Qi Yang wasn't surprised by the answer, but he was a little surprised by Lu Qipei's determination: "How do you know? Didn't you notice this?"
Lu Qipei pointed to his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Half of my eyebrows are painted, and I heard from the old man at home that the original eyebrow shape is more similar to my mother. Today's painting of King Wei is not the same. , the Xie Yuan eyebrows he painted are exactly the same as mine, how is this possible? Think about it now, Your Highness, that painting was drawn after me?"
As she said that, she pulled a strand of long hair and put it on her lips to pretend a beard. She looked a little funny, but it really looked more like the painting of King Wei.
Qi Yang suddenly realized, and finally found out where the sense of disobedience when looking at the portrait came from. She couldn't help laughing. After laughing, she touched Lu Qipei's clean chin, and sighed, "A Pei is still the best looking. It's really ugly to add two beards for nothing. I don't know what Brother Wei thinks."
What can King Wei think? Of course he was deceived, and he was deceived to be a comeback!
Today's farce, in fact, is full of flaws, and it has made King Wei come to make this scene, of course, it is not without purpose.
Lu Qipei put down the long hair that he used to make fun of, and his expression became a little more solemn: "A Ning, have you ever thought about what will happen to you and me after this incident today?"
future trouble? !
Qi Yang thought for a while, but his eyes finally fell on Lu Qipei's delicate and handsome face...
Today, King Wei testified against Lu Qipei in two things. One was that she was related to Xie Yuan, and the other was that she was involved in the Chaoyanglou case. But in the final analysis, Xie Yuan is still involved. Because once Lu Qipei had a relationship with Xie Yuan in the car, she would be inseparable from the Chaoyanglou assassination case. At that time, whether to be loyal to Beirong or take revenge for Xie Yuan, there will always be an excuse to get involved with Lu Qipei!
Now it doesn't matter if everyone doesn't believe it. After all, after this scene, a seed was planted in everyone's heart. And there were a lot of people who met Xie Hongyi back then. He and Lu Qipei tried it on the same stage, and there were not a few people who knew that the two of them looked alike.
Now the little emperor trusts Qi Yang and his wife, but if someone whispers slander in his ear every now and then, how would he know that he will not care? After all, it was the revenge of killing his father, and not everyone, like Qi Yang, could trust Lu Qipei as before.
Thinking of all the calculations hidden in the dark, Qi Yang felt a little sad. What's even more disturbing is what Lu Qipei said next: "Also, Aning, have you ever thought about what the Prince said to His Majesty before his death?"
The prince was so weak before his death that he couldn't leave a few words at all. Among them, there is a sentence with Qiyang Tuogu, and another sentence to tell the eldest grandson to keep his teachings in mind - at that time, the eldest grandson was young, and the prince was a lot worried about his son at that time, and there must be a lot of words to tell him, why should he emphasize that one sentence? Before that, what did he explain to the eldest grandson
Lu Qipei had a strong intuition. She felt that the prince must have mentioned her to the eldest grandson, and he still told the eldest grandson to be wary of her!
Facing Qi Yang now, Lu Qipei also expressed his guess: "This is nothing to be surprised by. The prince's health has always been bad, and even he himself does not know how long he can last. Maybe he was afraid that he would not have time to explain it when it came, so he stayed behind. No one knows about my calamity, so I told him in advance when I was teaching my son."
Qi Yang thought about it and thought it was not impossible, his face suddenly looked a little ugly, and he muttered: "Brother Huang, don't you believe me?"
Lu Qipei laughed when he heard the words, and leaned on Qi Yang's shoulder: "Perhaps in the eyes of the prince, His Highness is already stunned?"
Qi Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he pushed her away angrily, and said sadly: "Then Aqi doesn't know everything? So there's no need for King Wei to make trouble today, he's probably already suspicious of you..." Wei Dun: "It doesn't feel like it!"
The little emperor is still young, and he is not a scheming generation, how can he disguise his emotions meticulously
However, Lu Qipei said clearly: "The prince must not have said it clearly at the beginning, otherwise he would not dare to trust you in the end." After speaking, he said: "Now your majesty will trust you and me, but when the young emperor grows up in the future, I will be with you. The eldest princess, who has the real power to assist, has a conflict, maybe one day she will think of her father's words, and his heart will go wild, and it will be a big disaster for you and me."
After hearing this, Qi Yang held his breath and frowned again: "Why do you talk about it, you and I seem to be troubled by internal and external problems, and it is more difficult than Aqi's situation?"
The author has something to say: Lu Qipei (sighs): Really? So, Your Highness, we should pack our bags in advance and run when it's time to run!
Qi Yang (… ): You still have to assist Aqi in charge of the political affairs. Did you mention it too early? !
