Early in the morning, the breeze is blowing, and the yard is filled with a strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
Huamei walked into the room, saw Baihui and Baihe in the outer room, and asked in a low voice, "Baihui, can I have breakfast?"
Baihui glanced in the direction of the door curtain, and said implicitly: "Let the small kitchen warm first."
Lily was much more impolite: "My son is in high spirits, I guess there's still more to wait."
The two little maids on the side couldn't help laughing, but they didn't dare to laugh, so they could only cover their mouths with handkerchiefs, trying to suppress it.
Thrush backed out again lightly.
In the inner room, Xiao Yi, who was resting on his head, was holding an eyebrow pencil, and asked in a delicate voice: "Concubine Shizi, I don't know what kind of eyebrows I want my servant to paint for you today?"
Nangong Yue suppressed a smile, and asked in a serious manner, "Yi'er, what kind of eyebrows do you know?"
"That's a lot." Xiao Yi continued to say in a female voice triumphantly, "What kind of autumn eyebrows, feather eyebrows, willow leaf eyebrows, crescent moon eyebrows, water curved eyebrows...all of them are nothing to worry about."
Nangong Yue made a contemplative gesture, and then said: "Then Liu Yemei."
Xiao Yi looked a little disappointed, as if saying, this is too simple. But he obediently complied.
Needless to say, he draws really well.
Nangong Yue took a selfie in the mirror, the braid on her hair today was also pulled by Xiao Yi, and she looked decent.
Xiao Yi was so proud that his chin almost went up to the sky, and he restored his original voice: "How is it? Is this son more useful than Baihui and Lily?"
Nangong Yue was almost amused again, and asked casually, "Who did you learn from?"
"Can't it be because of my extraordinary talent?" Xiao Yi was making nonsense at first, but under Nangong Yue's half-smiling eyes, he finally told the truth obediently, "I made a bet with Chen Quying once before, and we both went to the theater to learn After a few days of play, it will naturally happen..."
This can also bet... Nangong Yue's forehead twitched, no wonder he looked decent when he sang before.
"Then which one of you won?" Nangong Yue asked again.
Xiao Yi straightened his chest: "Of course it's me." As he spoke, he suggested thoughtfully, "Stinky girl, how about I sing an opera for you next time?"
In ancient times, there was Lao Laizi who entertained relatives in colorful clothes, and now there is Xiao Yi who entertains his wife in colorful clothes!
Seeing Xiao Yi's bright eyes, Nangong Yue knew that he was excited again, so she responded with a smile.
Xiao Yi's eyes became brighter, and he wished he could go now. Nangong Yue hurriedly stood up and changed the subject: "A Yi, I'm hungry. Let's go have breakfast."
Lily with sharp ears heard the commotion in the inner room, and gave a little maid a wink, and the little maid hurriedly ran to the small kitchen.
The breakfast that has been warmed on the stove for several times is finally ready to serve!
But this breakfast was destined to be full of twists and turns, Nangong Yue had only eaten half a bowl of porridge, and then heard the servant girl report that Miss Fu Liu had come.
Nangong Yue wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and was about to get up to greet her when she heard Fu Yunyan's familiar voice coming from outside the house: "Ah Yue! Ah Yue!" The tone revealed deep anxiety.
Nangong Yue had a faint premonition in her heart...
The next moment, I saw Fu Yunyan rushing in like a gust of wind, her always cheerful little face was full of worry.
Nangong Yue seldom saw Fu Yunyan like this, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, "Liu Niang, what's wrong?"
"Ah Yue, follow me back to the capital." Fu Yunyan's eyes were filled with tears, and even his voice was a little choked up. "Just now there was news from the capital that grandma... grandma was assassinated!" Fu Yunyan had already Panic-stricken, "The person who came to report said that grandma was injured to a vital point, bleeding profusely, and has been unconscious for several hours. The imperial doctor said that the next thing to do is to see if grandma can wake up..." She subconsciously grasped it tightly. Nangong Yue's hand was too frightened to think about it.
Since childhood, Yong Yang has been the person Fu Yunyan respects, admires, and is closest to, even surpassing Mrs. Fu.
Nangong Yue's pupils shrank suddenly, and for a moment, her mind was almost blank, but she immediately calmed down, exchanged a look with Xiao Yi, and said decisively: "Liu Niang, A Yi and I will go back to the king with you." Du, Lily, hurry up and prepare the horse."
The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth, which had always been raised slightly, now turned into a straight line.
"Yes, Shizifei." After Lily took the order, she immediately went down to get ready.
The situation was urgent, and Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue couldn't care less about cleaning up. They just explained a few words to Zhuzi and Baihui, and then hurriedly followed Fu Yunyan out of Jingyue Zhai.
They went to report to the emperor first. After a cup of tea, several vigorous horses galloped out from Yinglan Palace. In order to hurry, even Nangong Yue rode on horses.
The hooves of the horse were flying, as fast as if they were about to fly.
Nangong Yue felt that the cool autumn wind and flying gravel cut her tender skin like a knife, but they couldn't suppress the fear and pain in her heart.
For Nangong Yue, Yong Yang is also a special person, Nangong Yue already regards Yong Yang as her real grandmother, and Xiao Yi...
Nangong Yue couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Yi who was beside her. Seeing his face sinking like water, she knew that he must be feeling bad at the moment.
She kept saying to herself in her heart that Grandma Yongyang would be fine.
But in fact, there is no certainty at all. At this time in the previous life, Yong Yang had already passed away due to the toxins in his body. These two years have been her stolen time...
Everyone rushed all the way, and it was not yet You Hour when they arrived at the capital.
He rode his horse across Wangdu Avenue and headed all the way to Yongyang Dachang Princess' mansion.
The concierge heard the sound of horseshoes from a distance, and saw that the son and daughter of the mansion had returned, and opened the corner gate as quickly as possible to welcome everyone into the mansion.
After dismounting, they rushed to Yongyang's Wufu Hall without stopping.
"Grandma, grandma..." Fu Yunyan yelled in panic as she stepped into the inner room. The room suddenly seemed a little crowded because of the intrusion of four people.
Fu Yunyan worriedly looked at Yong Yang on the sickbed, only to see that her complexion was so pale that there was no blood, and her lips were even more dry, as if she had aged ten years in the blink of an eye. Fu Yunyan bit her lower lip, and a mist appeared in front of her eyes again.
"Liu Niang, Brother He." Mrs. Fu had already received the news, so she was not surprised to see Fu Yunyan and Fu Yunhe return.
In the inner room, besides Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu, there was another person sitting beside Yong Yang's bed, wearing a simple gray straight suit with a thin back.
Just looking at the back of the other party, Nangong Yue blurted out: "Grandfather!"
The other party turned to look at Nangong Yue, the familiar face and clear and wise eyes were indeed Lin Jingchen.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue hurriedly saluted.
"Yue'er, Ah Yi." Lin Jingchen said with a smile.
Seeing Lin Jingchen, Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, with her grandfather around, Grandma Yongyang would be fine.
After Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi saluted Lin Jingchen, Fu Yunyan asked eagerly: "Grandfather, how is my grandmother?" Ever since Fu Yunyan and Nangong Xin got married, Nangong Xin took Fu Yunyan to meet Lin Jingchen , so Fu Yunyan called him directly.
The daughter hadn't passed the door yet, so she called her grandfather. Mrs. Fu sighed in her heart, but now is an extraordinary moment, she really doesn't have the heart to argue with Fu Yunyan.
Lin Jingchen looked at his future granddaughter-in-law with a friendly attitude: "Although your grandmother is still unconscious, she is out of danger. I guess it will be less than an hour soon, and she should be able to wake up before tomorrow."
Fu Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully: "Thank you, grandfather, for helping me out."
"It's all from my family." Lin Jingchen laughed even deeper.
Fu Yunyan's pretty face was slightly flushed by him, she sat down beside Yong Yang's couch, and helped Yong Yang tuck the corner of the quilt.
Nangong Yue was about to ask Lin Jingchen why he was here, but she heard a familiar voice from behind: "Sister, Liu Niang, you are back."
Nangong Yue turned around to look, and saw Nangong Xin holding a celadon bowl with white smoke coming into the inner room, the strong smell of medicine came over her face, obviously he just went to boil medicine.
Not only Nangong Yue thought of it, but Fu Yunhe and Fu Yunyan also understood that after Nangongxin learned of Yongyang's accident, he hurriedly invited Lin Jingchen to rescue him, and they all looked at Nangongxin gratefully.
Among the people in this room, Mrs. Fu probably felt the most complicated. Thinking of how I disliked Nangong Xin, I felt ashamed and embarrassed: what my mother and Liu Niang said was right, Ah Xin was indeed a Good boy.
After that, Fu Yunyan and Nangong Xin stayed in the inner room to feed Yong Yang the medicine, while the others retreated temporarily.
Nangong Yue and Lin Jingchen discussed Yunyang's injury, the next medication, treatment plan, etc., while Xiao Yi went out with Mr. Fu.
"Uncle Fu, do you know who is behind the assassination of Yong Yang's grandmother?" Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice, a bloodthirsty look flashed in his eyes.
Master Fu shook his head helplessly, "The end of last month was my younger sister's birthday sacrifice. Since these days, my mother has been going to the younger sister's tomb to worship alone every morning, and will come back in the evening. It was the same yesterday, but I waited until It was dark, and my mother didn't come back, so the servants went to look for it, but they didn't expect my mother to fall in front of the cemetery...the assassin was not seen, nor did they leave any useful clues."
Xiao Yi's brows were tightly furrowed, and at this moment, a nanny trotted over in a hurry, saluted and said: "Elder... Eldest Master, someone wants to see the Eldest Master, saying that they are here to recognize relatives."
Acknowledging relatives? Mr. Fu was stunned. His first reaction was that a distant relative of the Fu family came to seek refuge, so he nodded and said, "Let someone greet him in the main hall first, and I will go to see him later."
"Yes, my lord." Mammy hurriedly withdrew again.
Master Fu looked at Xiao Yi apologetically, and was about to speak, but Xiao Yi had already rushed ahead of him: "Uncle Fu, don't be polite to my nephew, if you have something to do, go quickly."
Mr. Fu nodded, and then went to the main hall of the outer courtyard. In the hall, a young man in Tsing Yi was sitting on an armchair, with fair skin and a handsome face... For some reason, Mr. Fu gave him a kind of Déjà vu.
As soon as the young man saw Master Fu enter the hall, he stood up, bowed and said: "The younger generation has seen Master Fu."
"My lord, you are very polite." Mr. Fu replied politely, "Please sit down."
The young man sat down again after thanking him. He behaved politely, but seemed cramped.
After Mr. Fu sat down on the grand teacher's chair in the main seat, he asked, "I don't know your surname?"
"The junior's surname is Wen..." the young man said softly.
Wen!? Master Fu's pupils shrank slightly, Wen is just an ordinary surname, but it has a different meaning in Yongyang Princess' Mansion... Could it be...
Master Fu didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and tried to calm down: "So it's Mr. Wen."
"Master Fu, my mother passed away a year ago. Before she passed away, she handed over a jade pendant to the younger generation, and told the younger generation that she is not the younger generation's biological mother. This jade pendant was left to the younger generation by the younger generation's biological mother. Only this jade pendant was left on his body. After the younger generation buried his adoptive mother, he traveled thousands of miles from Huaibei to Wangdu to find clues about his biological mother’s family. After many inquiries, he finally found out that the imprint on this jade pendant was Yong Yang’s elder It’s from the Princess House.” The boy said generally, taking out a jade pendant from his bosom, stood up and handed it to the servant next to Mr. Fu, “Master Fu, please have a look.”
After the young man took the jade pendant, he presented it to Mr. Fu.
Mr. Fu just glanced at it, then his expression changed, he took the jade pendant impatiently, and even took a deep breath.
It was a half-walled butterfly-shaped jade pendant. He also had a piece of this kind of jade pendant in his hand, which was handed over to him by his mother, and the other piece was in the hands of his missing sister. The emblem of the Akabane Army...
Mr. Fu's hands trembled a little, and he quickly ordered the servant: "Xiao Luo, go and fetch the red sandalwood box from my room."
The boy surnamed Wen withdrew his gaze, half-lidded his eyes, and moved awkwardly.
Xiao Luo quickly fetched the red sandalwood box, returned to the main hall, and respectfully handed it to Mr. Fu.
Master Fu opened the box with trembling fingers, and took out another half-bill butterfly jade pendant from inside.
He took a deep breath, and put the two jade pendants together with a solemn expression...
Seamless!
Master Fu's heart suddenly became turbulent. The jade pendant sent by the young man is definitely the jade pendant worn by his sister when he disappeared. According to the young man, isn't he just...
Master Fu carefully sized up the youthful and shy handsome face, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the other's eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like his deceased father.
Elder Fu held the jade pendant tightly, forced himself to be calm and said to the young man surnamed Wen: "I don't know what is the name of my nephew?"
Since he changed his name to "Nephew", he has already admitted his identity as a teenager to a certain extent.
A gleam flashed in the eyes of the young man surnamed Wen, and hurriedly bowed and replied: "The single name of the junior is the word 'Y'."
Master Fu nodded, "This jade pendant needs to be seen by my mother before I can confirm it. However, my mother has recently contracted a minor ailment. When my mother recovers, I will tell my mother. If nephew Wen Xian doesn't dislike it, why don't you stay in the mansion temporarily?" Last few days."
"Then there is Uncle Lao Fu." The young man Wen Yu changed his words wisely, stood up, and said embarrassedly, "Can Uncle Fu return my mother's belongings to my nephew?"
"Naturally." Master Fu nodded, ordered Xiao Luo to return Wen Yu's jade pendant to him, and then ordered Xiao Luo to take someone to settle Wen Yu himself.
Seeing Wen Yu's leaving back, Master Fu's heart could not be calm for a long time. Originally thought that my sister passed away, and my mother's knot in this life could not be solved, but I didn't expect my sister to have a drop of blood flowing in this world.
If this matter is true, it will be great news for both the mother and the entire Princess Mansion...
Now I just hope my mother can wake up soon!
Mr. Fu settled down, and rushed to Wufutang again...
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Mr. Fu heard a shout of surprise from the inner room: "Grandma, grandma, you are awake!"
Immediately afterwards, there were joyful voices from other people, one after another:
"Very good!"
"Grandmother Yong Yang, what do you think?"
"His Highness is awake!"
"..."
Soon it became quiet again, Mr. Fu walked into the inner room a little nervously, and saw Lin Jingchen sitting on the couch next to the couch, taking Yong Yang's pulse. What blood color, looks very weak.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Yong Yang and Lin Jingchen, until Lin Jingchen stopped his hands and stood up, "His Royal Highness is fine, and the next thing is to have a good birth. I will make another prescription and use it first. I will use it tomorrow." Then come to check His Highness's pulse."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison, Fu Yunyan stayed in the room to accompany Yong Yang, while the others personally sent Lin Jingchen to the second gate.
Nangong Yue bid farewell to Lin Jingchen reluctantly, and watched Nangong Xin and Lin Jingchen leave.
Then, Xiao Yi said to Fu Yunhe: "Little Hezi, your sister-in-law and I are going back to the palace first. You stay here and take good care of Grandma Yongyang."
Fu Yunhe nodded vigorously, but there was still a trace of fear in his bright eyes.
Luckily, grandma is fine...
Xiao Yi, Nan Gongyue and the others rode their horses again, and rushed back to Yinglan Palace without stopping. At this time, it was already Yin time the next day, and the sky in the early morning was still pitch black, only the stars and moon in the night Looking down.
Relying on Xiao Yi's face, they easily passed the gate guards and entered the palace. The palace was quiet in the early morning. Although he didn't know if the emperor had gone to bed, Xiao Yi still had to go to the emperor as soon as possible to report Yong Yang's condition. He asked Nangong Yue, who was tired all day, to go back to Jingyue Zhai to rest, while he hurried to Fushou in the main palace. Court.
In the Fushou Pavilion, the lights were brightly lit, but the emperor did not fall asleep.
When a servant heard that Xiao Yi was coming, he rushed out to greet him, with a relieved tone: "Master, you are finally back. The emperor is still waiting for Master in the study."
Xiao Yi followed the servant into the study room. When the emperor saw Xiao Yi, without waiting for him to salute, he asked eagerly: "A Yi, how is Princess Yongyang doing now?"
Xiao Yi bowed and replied: "Uncle Emperor, Grandma Yongyang has woken up..." Then he briefly reported the results of Lin Jingchen's diagnosis and treatment to the Emperor.
The emperor's tightly locked brows finally relaxed, and he asked him about the details of Yong Yang's assassination.
Xiao Yi returned everything he knew, and at this moment, the little servant came to report that the governor of Jingzhao Mansion had come.
Jingzhao Fu Yin came in sweating profusely. Although he tried his best to cheer up, he still couldn't hide the gauntness and fatigue between his brows and eyes. That's right, he just fell asleep when he was summoned from the royal capital to Yinglan Palace overnight.
Jingzhao Mansion Yin stood beside Xiao Yi, and bowed down to the emperor fearfully.
As soon as the emperor saw Jingzhao Mansion Yin, he became angry and said angrily: "Jingzhao Mansion Yin, how did you manage the capital? In broad daylight, why did you let the villain assassinate Princess Yongyang... You should What's the crime?" Thinking that his little aunt almost lost her life, the emperor's eyes were cut to Jingzhao Fuyin like a knife.
"My minister is guilty, please forgive me." Jingzhaofu Yin kowtowed again and again to plead guilty, feeling bitter. This Jingzhao Fu Yin is probably the most difficult job in the capital, and his grade is not high, but the whole capital, unless something happened to the emperor's harem, everything else can be related to him. He is not a fortune teller, all the little Jingzhao government officials, how can he control when and where those assassins assassinate
The emperor was just venting his anger. Seeing Jingzhao Mansion Yin's frightened look, his tone was a little slow: "If my little aunt hadn't been out of danger, otherwise I would have taken your head today!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness." Jing Zhaofu Yin kowtowed again, heaving a sigh of relief: Princess Yongyang is fine, it seems that his little life is temporarily saved.
"Get up." The emperor waved his hand and said coldly, "Don't be too busy thanking me, Governor of Jingzhao, I order you to arrest the assassin immediately, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to arrest the assassin for me." Get caught! If you can't give me an explanation, I'll still have to send you away!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jingzhao Mansion Yin hurriedly replied, fearful in his heart, I am afraid that this task will be difficult to handle.
Jing Zhaoyin's guilty look naturally couldn't be hidden from the emperor, and the emperor didn't count on him at all, and turned to Xiao Yi and said: "Ah Yi, you will lead the soldiers of the five cities, Ma Si, and Jing Zhaofu Yin to track down the assassin. ! Immediately set off for the capital.”
"I obey the decree!" Xiao Yi knelt down to receive the decree.
Yin of Jingzhao Mansion finally heaved a sigh of relief. With the Prince of Zhennan, he started to do things by himself. Firstly, he had someone to discuss with, and secondly, he had someone to rely on...Thirdly, if there is really no result found Come, it's better to have someone to share the responsibility with.
Thinking about it this way, Yin Jingzhao felt more at ease, and quit Fushou Pavilion together with Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi made an appointment with Jingzhao Mansion Yin for half an hour and then met at the gate of the Xinggong Palace, and then went to Jingyue Zhai first.
During Jingyue Zhai, Nangong Yue had already bathed and changed clothes, and drank some hot porridge. Although she was still a little tired, she already felt a lot more comfortable.
As soon as Xiao Yi entered the room, he said directly: "Smelly girl, the emperor asked me to go back to the capital immediately to investigate the assassination of Yong Yang's grandmother. I will pack up and leave in half an hour." After a pause, he seemed like As if making an oath, he said, "Ah Yue, I will definitely find the assassin who assassinated Grandma Yongyang!" His eyes, like the cold stars in the middle of the night, shot out a sharp cold light, and the murderous aura was undisguised, making Baihui Lily I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and lowered my head involuntarily.
But Nangongyue still looked at him with a smile and said, "Ayi, of course I believe in you." Nangongyue looked at the shadow under his eyes distressedly, and said, "Ayi, there is still time. I have already made people The tub and hot water are ready, you take a bath first, and then fill your stomach a little bit."
Xiao Yi nodded, and followed, Nangong Yue personally served him to change his clothes... When the sound of water in the bathroom sounded, she hurriedly asked the maids to prepare some food... After Xiao Yi took a bath, changed his clothes and finished eating, there happened to be one hour left. Cup of tea.
Nangong Yue personally sent it to the gate of the courtyard and watched Xiao Yi's back leave. At this time, the sky was already pale.
Nangong Yue slept until the sun was up. The maids knew that the master had worked hard yesterday, so they were so obedient that they didn't make a sound.
Nangong Yue opened her eyes in the midst of crisp birdsong, yawned lazily, and sat up from the couch.
Hearing the movement in the inner room, Baihui and Lily came into the room through the curtain to help him get up and change his clothes.
By the time she got dressed and left the inner room, the hot breakfast had already been served. Just as Nangong Yue picked up the spoon, her plain hand paused in mid-air again, as if thinking of something, she said, "Sheng Jia will return to the capital soon... Baihui, Baihe, hurry up and tidy up, so as not to waste time In a hurry."
This time, when I came to the palace to escape the summer heat, the maids and women in the mansion packed up five carts of things and brought them over. After two months in the palace, the empress and queen mother rewarded some things, and I also bought some. , It is estimated that at least one more horse-drawn carriage will be needed for the return journey, and the manpower in Jingyue Zhai is no better than that in Wangfu...
Baihui and Baihe glanced at each other, thinking about what to do next, their scalps became numb.
Although Shizi left first, Jingyue Zhai became bustling instead. The maids rushed in and out, unable to stop like a spinning top. On the contrary, Nangong Yue was very free, holding medical books with nothing to do.
That afternoon, the emperor's decree spread throughout the palace in the blink of an eye--
Ten days later, drive back to the palace!
