Walking along the bluestone path towards the garden, the garden in winter is very desolate.
Fortunately, after a heavy snowfall, there were pure white snowflakes on the dead branches, and it was really beautiful to be covered in silver.
Shuo Feng came towards him, carrying a large piece of white snow, someone shouted: "Yin Shuo, a shameless person, he actually wants to marry Yufu? Doesn't he know that the late Emperor personally married Yufu and elder brother?"
It was Gu Jiuge's voice.
Yin Jiyu dodged and hid under the rockery, and the wind heard the conversation on the rockery clearly to her ears, but the two people on the mountain didn't notice her existence.
Gu Hanmo helped him into the pavilion, "Second brother, don't worry. Yin Shuo even dared to bully Princess Danyang, so why would he not dare? I heard that Princess Danyang was critically ill and couldn't even attend the New Year's Eve palace banquet." gone."
Yin Jiyi covered her mouth, she never thought that Princess Danyang would be so ill in just two months.
Although she doesn't like Princess Danyang's domineering, but she once received her kindness, she invited an imperial doctor to heal the wound on her forehead, not to mention that she is still her own sister-in-law in terms of title.
Yin Jixie felt sorry for her.
Gu Jiuge said: "It's so? What kind of ecstasy soup did he pour into His Majesty? His Majesty, who is the initiator of a regicide and treason, actually trusts him completely? The poor eldest prince has no one to rely on on his way to Huangquan, he really should go and fight with His Majesty The prince is your companion!"
Yin Jiyu was not that surprised when she heard this.
Gu Jiuge and the others had never told her about this matter, but she was not a stupid person, she had already guessed it from the eyes and tone of everyone.
Not only because of them, but also because she knows Yin Shuo well.
Her elder brother has always been cold-hearted, and the first prince intends to recruit him, so how could he go undercover to find evidence for the second prince
It's not like his style.
Gu Hanmo sighed, "Second Brother, do you think I don't want to? My father relieved a lot of military affairs, which means that he handed over part of the military power in his hands. But His Majesty still thinks it's not enough, and he won't be as affectionate as before in Guhou's mansion. I listen to you." The housekeeper said one thing, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"What's up?"
"It is said that Eunuch Chi hinted to his father that he wanted to marry Yufu into the palace as the queen, but his father refused to agree."
The jug was placed heavily on the table, and it was related to Yufu. Gu Jiuge was furious immediately, "Yin Shuo must have instigated it. This Yin Shuo, I can't spare him!"
Gu Hanmo hurriedly comforted him, "Second brother, this matter has not yet been settled, and my father does not intend to tell Yufu, for fear that Yufu will be disturbed. You must not speak out, let alone be impulsive!"
Gu Jiuge drank too much wine, his mind was a little confused, and he calmed down slowly under Gu Hanmo's persuasion.
He suddenly thought of something, "Third brother, if you can't find clues from Yin Shuo's murder of the late emperor, can you start with Ji Kui?"
Yin Jixiu was a little nervous when she heard her name.
Gu Hanmo said: "Brother, do you mean Miss Yin's identity? Miss Yin's biological mother is a female general of Xikun. Once this matter is made public, Yin Yan will not be able to escape the guilt, and Yin Shuo may be implicated. But... Isn't Miss Yin an innocent victim? ?”
click.
Like the sound of dead branches being trampled off in the snow, it came from the bottom of the rockery, and Gu Hanmo immediately became alert, "Who's there?"
A woman walked out from behind the rockery, wearing a rose-pink fox fur cloak, with her head bowed, and a white gauze tied on her forehead.
Gu Hanmo was in a bad mood, the woman raised her head, and it was indeed Yin Jixie.
Gu Jiuge was mostly sober, "Ji Yao? You... why are you here?"
Yin Jixi lifted her skirt and walked up the rockery. Her movements were usually gentle, but now every step was firm, as if she had made some major determination.
She walked into the pavilion and looked at the two of them, "What Xikun female general? You said my biological mother was a Xikun female general? My father said she was a brothel girl. How could she become a Xikun female general?"
Gu Hanmo frowned, it was because he heard that His Majesty and Yin Shuo wanted to marry Yufu today, so he pulled Gu Jiuge out for a drink because he was upset, but Yin Jigui overheard him.
Now things are more complicated.
He glanced at Gu Jiuge, "Second brother told Miss Yin about this matter, I'll take a step first and leave."
"return!"
Gu Jiuge stretched out his hand, only grabbing a corner of his clothes.
He actually ran away with light work...
There were two people sitting opposite each other in the pavilion, one was trying to hide the matter, the other was tearful but extremely firm.
Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Gu Jiuge couldn't control much, "Okay, I'll tell you. But you must not tell this matter, especially your father and brother, understand?"
Yin Jixie nodded, "Don't worry, I will never do anything to endanger the Guhou Mansion!"
She had a serious expression on her face, Gu Jiuge's drunken eyes were squinting, and she reached out and patted her on the head, "Don't be so nervous, your mother is a strong woman with a lot of backbone, you should be happy..."
The next day at dinner time, Yin Jixiu suddenly came to bid farewell to Yufu.
Yu Fu was a little surprised, "You want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Is it because the servants in this mansion didn't take good care of them?"
Yin Jiqian shook her head again and again, "No, the servants of Guhou's Mansion are well-trained, and they are very dedicated to me. It's just that the end of the year is approaching, and I can't stay in Guhou's Mansion forever, so I want to go back."
She stayed in Guhou's mansion for two months, and Yufu treated her scars with all her heart. She was very grateful to Yufu, and the two had become friends.
Yu Fu simply said bluntly, "You are not afraid of going back to Xiangfu, will your elder brother hurt you?"
Yin Jiqian smiled, "Don't worry, my father is back today, and I don't dare to mess around with him."
"Your father?"
Yin Jiqian did not ignore the disappointment that flashed in her eyes, she suddenly knelt down in front of Yufu, who hurriedly asked Yaolan to help her up.
"Ji Yi, what are you doing?"
Yin Ji said: "I know that my father committed a serious crime and almost killed the eldest son. I also know that my elder brother has repeatedly targeted Gu Hou's residence in the court, forcing Gu Hou to hand over part of the military affairs. My Yin family I'm sorry Guhou Mansion, I will apologize to you on behalf of my father and brother!"
Yu Fu said: "Get up quickly, they are them and you are you, you have a pure heart, those things have nothing to do with you."
"Pure heart? Princess, I can't afford your compliment."
Yin Jixie laughed sarcasticly, "You know, my father and brother often used some tricks in court, and I was not completely unaware of them. Just like this time, you all thought I didn't know that elder brother murdered the late emperor, but I did! "
Yu Fu was startled, she continued: "I was their accomplice too, and I also tricked them time and time again! Do you know that it was my father and brother's arrangement that I got close to the Second Young Master?"
Yu Fu looked at her and didn't speak, but Yin Jixiu was stunned this time.
"You know? You all know?"
Yu Fu didn't intend to continue discussing this issue with her, so she shook Yin Jiqian's hand, "Okay, it's all in the past, don't need to mention it again. From now on, if you treat people with sincerity, no one will be able to use the stains of the past to erase you." You, do you understand?"
Yin Ji said: "But I can see that you are very disappointed and very sad. The king-killing traitor is high above the court, but a loyal family like Guhou's mansion is squeezed out and suppressed. What kind of world is this? As a Even members of the Yin family can't stand it, so how can you accept it?"
"Whether it is possible or not, the general will not resist His Majesty's will. As you said, the Guhou Mansion is a loyal family, and the general is a loyal minister. He would rather give up the power in his hand and be loyal to His Majesty."
As Yu Fu was talking, he suddenly thought of what Eunuch Chi said when he gave the reward that day, and his heart felt cold.
Yin Jixie seemed to know what she was thinking, "Then if His Majesty insists on making you Empress, will Master Gu still not resist?"
Yu Fu suddenly turned around, "How do you know about this?"
Yin Jixie frowned, "Everyone in the court knows about this now, and His Majesty has reminded Gu Houye openly and secretly, but Gu Houye didn't agree. The second son and the others think that you are naturally insensitive to matters between men and women, so you don't know what to do." I know His Majesty's thoughts about you, so I have kept it from you. But from the look on your face just now, you clearly know."
Yu Fu smiled wryly, "Grandpa Chi also hinted to me, I prevaricated."
Yin Ji said: "You can prevaricate for a while, but you won't be able to prevaricate forever. Gu Hou's mansion is a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse. No matter how hard your majesty suppresses it, you can't see its decline, but your majesty's patience will run out sooner or later, my elder brother I will not be willing to wait, this is the reason why I want to return to the prime minister's residence."
"You... you mean, you want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay attention to Yin Shuo's movements for me?"
Yin Jiqian suddenly laughed, revealing her white teeth, changing from her usual ladylike demeanor, "I heard that my biological mother is a female general, and I want to be like her and do something big!"
