Jiangshan is hired [rebirth]

Back in Yun Mansion, Huo Lan couldn't wait to find Yun Miaoqing.He opened the door and was about to call for someone, but saw Shuangya was also here, and Yun Muchen was lying on the couch, sleeping soundly.

Huo Lan paused, only to hear Shuangya smile and say: "It's okay, come in. The child is a deep sleeper, and you may not be able to wake her up even if you beat gongs and drums in her ear."

Hearing what Shuangya said, Huo Lan relaxed and walked slowly to Yun Miaoqing's side.

"How is today?" Yun Miaoqing asked.

"It's really exciting." Huo Lan sat down next to Yun Miaoqing, and told Yun Miaoqing and Shuangya about today's events.

After hearing this, Shuangya turned to Yun Miaoqing in disbelief: "Yo, I really let you talk! I was thinking that Huo Lan has only been in the capital for half a year, and even if His Majesty is willing to recognize her, he will have to wait another three years Five years."

The weather has been getting hotter recently, Yun Miaoqing held a round fan in her hand, half covered her lips and smiled without saying a word.

"What did Miao Qing say?" Huo Lan curiously asked the two people in front of her, but before they could answer her, she raised her palm and made a stop motion, "Don't tell me, let me guess what happened today what happened."

"Hey, you two take your time, I won't bother you here, and Shu Jian is back, right? I'll go and see him." Shuangya got up to hug Yun Muchen, and the little girl really slept as she said He was dead, and he didn't feel anything when he was lifted from the bed.

"Sister-in-law, go slowly." Yun Miaoqing watched Shuangya walk to the door, and then said suddenly, "I remember we have a yard in Pingzhuang Village in the suburbs of Beijing. It's summer, let's take Xiaochen to escape the heat."

Shuangya turned her head and took a deep look at Yun Miaoqing, and said "OK".

After Shuangya left, Yun Miaoqing turned to Huo Lan who was beside her, and teased her: "How could you bear it this time? In the past, you would have been chasing after her for days."

There was no one else in the room, so Huo Lan pulled Yun Miaoqing over and rubbed her palm with one hand, lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "I don't think I can rely on you to teach me everything, I should also learn to do it myself Look at it and think about it."

"Oh?" Yun Miaoqing suppressed a smile and asked, "Then what have you figured out?"

"When our gift box was opened, King Yu looked so shocked, which meant that he knew that the contents inside had been swapped. But how could he know about our stuff? So I guess it was he who changed our stuff first. but someone after him took out what he put in and replaced it with something else."

After Huo Lan witnessed the farce in Jinxiang Palace in the afternoon, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the person who did it was really cunning.

King Yu secretly tampered with Yunfu's congratulatory gift. Although he was guilty, he was well prepared, and he must have made up a set of rhetoric in advance.However, when the box was opened, the contents inside were not what King Yu had originally prepared, indicating that his conspiracy had been known.When King Yu panicked, he lost his footing all of a sudden, and when he made a wrong step, he was led by the nose every step of the way, and he fell completely passive ever since.

Since the painted pottery Shou Buddha was not released by King Yu, it is self-evident, even if he did not do it himself, he must have ordered others to do it.

"But I still have two doubts." Huo Lan pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, "What happened to that court lady Xiaoru? If it is true as she said, she has been favored by that concubine Xi, and I am grateful for the concubine Xi's kindness." , how could he publicly expose the adultery between Xibin and King Yu? Although revenge on King Yu is true, but it also ruined Xibin’s reputation, isn’t it? Besides, would Xibin really tell others about the hidden characteristics of King Yu’s body? I always find her words weird."

"You have improved compared to before." Yun Miaoqing slowly waved the round fan and said lightly, "Because she was also ordered by others."

It's not that Huo Lan has never doubted this before, but if Xiao Ru was instigated by others, is she lying?Judging from Yu Wang's reaction, it seems that they are all right...

"Gao Ming's lies are never just lies. It's true that Xiaoru has received favor from Xipin, and it's also true that Xipin had an affair with King Yu. Even the part about Du Wenyao should be pretty close."

"Then according to what you said, isn't Xiaoru's words true?" Huo Lan followed Yun Miaoqing's words and thought about it. No, there is one more thing. Regarding the evidence, Xiaoru's other words are all true, only the evidence is false. !

"It can't be said to be fake." Yun Miaoqing said, "The characteristics of King Yu are also true, but not only Xi Concubine who has a relationship with him can know, but those around him also have the opportunity to know, especially recently. King Yu often gets very drunk in the mansion, and when he is drunk, it is not difficult for the servant girls or accompanying doormen who want to secretly check on it."

Yun Miaoqing didn't know who the traitor next to King Yu was, and she didn't need to know.King Zhuang has been fighting with King Yu for so long, so it's not that she can't use all these means. She just needs to tell King Zhuang about her plan, and King Zhuang will arrange the rest by himself.

"The matter still has to start with Du Wenyao's death." Yun Miaoqing explained to Huo Lan without haste, "I always have this question about Du Wenyao, what is it that makes the murderer suddenly want to kill him, and it has to be Can’t do it on the spot? So I carefully checked the list of the entourage of Du Parallel Palace, and found that one person died after that.”

"Concubine Xi!" Huo Lan answered.

"Yes, it's Concubine Xi." Yun Miaoqing nodded, "After returning from Parallel Palace, it wasn't long before Concubine Xi was thrown into the cold palace for trying to murder Concubine Qi, and then died in the cold palace. So many things Together, I suspect it’s not a coincidence, some time ago I took the opportunity to accompany my mother into the palace to visit the Queen Mother and quietly investigated in the palace.”

Huo Lan still had an impression of the time she said: "Then you found Xiaoru here?"

"Xiao Ru is very sure that Concubine Xi didn't commit suicide. She said that Concubine Xi found out she was pregnant not long after entering the cold palace. Concubine Xi once wanted to help her find a doctor, but Concubine Xi might not allow her to go and asked her to help hide it."

Why Concubine Xi didn't dare to speak up now seems very clear, because the child's father is someone else, she absolutely dare not let the emperor know.After studying with Yun Miaoqing for so long, Huo Lan has been able to keep up with Yun Miaoqing's thinking, and she can understand without Yun Miaoqing's further analysis.

So Xiaoru not only knows that Xipin did not commit suicide, but also knows that Xipin has an adulterous partner!Combined with the fact that Du Wenyao was inexplicably killed outside Du Parallel Palace, it is very likely that this adulterer was one of the people accompanying Du Parallel Palace that day.

"But why are you sure it's King Yu? King Zhuang is fine too. He can even tell where Du Wenyao died. Shouldn't he be more suspicious?"

"Prince Zhuang pretends to be a humble gentleman on the surface, but if I'm not mistaken, he should be quite surly and ruthless. If it's really him, I guess he won't let Concubine Xi go back. He will do it on the spot when he is thrown into limbo. Lian Xipin was killed together, and then it was pretended that there was some ulterior secret between Xipin and Du Wenyao."

Yun Miaoqing was still serious in her previous sentence, but suddenly her voice changed, and she covered her mouth with a fan and said mysteriously: "Of course, the most important thing is that I got something from Xiaoru."

She got up and went to the cabinet to take out a small wooden box with a handkerchief in it. She spread the handkerchief to Huo Lan and saw a poem embroidered on it. "Appeared on the first word of the first couplet and the first couplet respectively.

Huo Lan: "..." I thought this person was serious about predicting things like a god, and he deduced all this only by analysis. It turned out that he had obtained the key evidence, and what he said earlier was just teasing her again.

"Don't look at me like that." The invisible fox ears on Yun Miaoqing's head seemed to tremble again, and she said with a smile, "It's a skill to get so many words from Xiaoru, isn't it? Xiaoru doesn't Literate, just put this handkerchief away as an ordinary relic, if I hadn't seen it, I don't know when the truth of this case will come to light."

It's really a skill, at least Huo Lan can't chat with anyone happily, let them feel like old friends at first sight, and tell all the secrets in his heart.

"Then since you have obtained this evidence, why didn't you let Xiaoru hand it over today?" Huo Lan asked again.

Yun Miaoqing folded the handkerchief and put it back into the box: "What kind of evidence is this, at most it can be said to be Xipin's unrequited love. Even if it is found out that Xipin was pregnant before her death, how can she be sure that the child's father is Where is King Yu?"

I see!Huo Lan finally understood that this was actually a series of tricks. First, King Yu was in a panic because of the loss of congratulatory gifts, and then he played the card of Concubine Xi.Since the real evidence cannot convict King Yu, the designer intentionally concealed it and let Xiaoru point out the birthmark on the leg, which is both concealed and can be checked on the spot.King Yu was so frightened that he had no time to think about the strangeness. He only thought that he had been completely exposed and pleaded guilty in a daze, and it would be too late when he looked back and figured it out.

"What did you use to get Xiao Ru to agree to tell this lie?" Huo Lan was also very curious about this matter, she was in a different place, she would rather use her own death to plant the blame on someone else than let someone dirty Yun Miao sunny reputation.

"I promise her to find a way to get her out of the palace after the matter is done."

"It's that simple?" Huo Lan opened his eyes wide.

"It's as simple as that." Yun Miaoqing smiled, and held Huo Lan's hand back: "You know that everyone is like you, and you can't wait to repay a little kindness with your life? Xiaoru is indeed grateful to Concubine Xi, she stood up this time She also took a lot of risks, but she hasn't treated Xibin as much as you have treated me. In her opinion, avenging Xibin is considered repaying Xibin's kindness. As for Xibin's reputation, everyone What does it matter if they're all dead?"

"I'm not just repaying you..." Huo Lan turned his head away and whispered.

"Oh——" Yun Miaoqing dragged out a long tail, "So you've been plotting against me from the very beginning? Have something wrong with me?"

"No!" Huo Lan couldn't bear Yun Miaoqing's jokes on her the most, she was not as thick-skinned as Yun Miaoqing, and whenever she couldn't say no to Yun Miaoqing, she wanted to hold her down and bite Yun Miaoqing hard. lips, covering Yun Miaoqing's mouth that made her blush and heartbeat.

Of course, at this stage, she can only think about it. In her eyes, the first kiss is a very ceremonial thing. It is different from holding hands and kissing the neck. She must wait until Yun Miaoqing has a formal response to her. Can.

Right now it's not time to implement it, Huo Lan stopped letting himself think about it, and instead asked questions that he hadn't finished.

"I understand this matter. Didn't you say that there are two things first, and there is one more thing. In any case, what happened today is a battle between King Zhuang and King Yu. Why did the benefits fall to me in the end?"

"Oh, this..." Hearing Huo Lan's question about the serious matter, Yun Miaoqing stopped playing around with her, slowly waving her small fan and said, "It can only be said that King Zhuang still doesn't know his father well enough. "

What Yun Miaoqing said was not "Emperor", not "Your Majesty", but "Father". Huo Lan grasped this point, but the word "Father" was also very strange to her.

"You can see the strangeness of today's matter. Do you think your majesty doesn't know? Zhuang Wang only wanted to prevent Yu Wang from stepping down on the most embarrassing occasion, but he didn't expect that today was his father's Sixtieth birthday. A father, on such a day, did not receive the sincere blessings of his sons, but instead faced their conspiracies and tricks, what do you think he feels like?"

Hearing what Yun Miaoqing said, Huo Lan immediately remembered the exhaustion that appeared when His Majesty wiped his face in the palace. It turned out that it was not her illusion, the emperor must have been really tired at that moment.

"One of his two sons gave him a cuckold, and the other exposed the family scandal in public. He also took out the witchcraft puppet again for this calculation. King Yu knew that the witchcraft puppet was poking at him. Your Majesty's heart, how disappointed His Majesty will be if King Zhuang does this."

"But why does he have to use witchcraft puppets?" Huo Lan was puzzled.

"Of course it's aimed at you." Yun Miaoqing smiled, "I just told him that King Yu might drop our congratulatory gifts, and I planned to lure Xiaoru out by tricks, and I was worried when I asked him for cooperation, 'I hope Yu Don't use witches and puppets to frame us. After all, Prince Pingzhang died in the witchcraft case, and Huo Lan was related to Prince Pingzhang. Your Majesty has kept secrets about the past. If you see a puppet, you will hate Huo Lan But what should I do?" Then he really messed with our congratulatory gifts after King Yu."

Zhuang Wang had calculated thousands of times, but he missed that today is not only an emperor, but also a father.He reported his elder brother and tore open the scars that His Majesty wanted to cover up. As a courtier, these can be regarded as extremely subtle plans, but for a son, they severely hurt his father's heart.

This is not to blame for King Zhuang, because King Zhuang has been in a situation since he was a child, although he has always called "Father Emperor" and "Father Emperor", but in his heart, he probably never really regarded the man on the dragon chair as his own. Father.

"Your Majesty was disappointed in him, and then turned around and wanted to recognize me? Is there something to do with it? You really don't want me to replace King Zhuang and King Yu... I've been in the capital for half a year, even if His Majesty often summons me recently , the total sum is only a few dozen times..."

Even though several hours have passed since His Majesty issued the order, Huo Lan still finds it unbelievable when he thinks about it.

"I just had a conjecture at first, but His Majesty's decree today confirmed my idea to some extent."

Yun Miaoqing paused for a moment and looked at Huo Lan with a little confusion in her eyes: "As for the establishment of the crown prince, His Majesty has hesitated for so many years and has not decided whether to choose King Yu or King Zhuang. Do you think it is possible that he is actually two? Don't want to choose?"

Yun Miaoqing's words made Huo Lan stunned.

"These two are his abandoned sons, including you. Maybe before today, His Majesty was still hesitating about setting up King Zhuang, but after today, he might not think about King Zhuang again. What Du Shouming said when he came to us that day, I think The more I think about it afterwards, the more strange it becomes. To achieve what he said, there must be at least two steps—first, he has to ask His Majesty to admit you back to the royal family, and second, he has to ask His Majesty to make you the heir to the throne.

Leaving aside the second point, let's talk about the first point, His Majesty is sixty this year, and his body is getting worse day by day.Let's discuss behind closed doors, no one can say how long His Majesty will live, how can Du Shouming ensure that His Majesty can let you recognize your ancestors before you die?If His Majesty didn't recognize you until he died, wouldn't his efforts be in vain? "

But His Majesty really ordered to recognize Huo Lan in a short period of time, and it was so smooth that it was unimaginable.

Huo Lan was awakened by Yun Miaoqing, and suddenly understood: "You mean, Du Shouming is actually loyal to His Majesty, but the heir apparent that His Majesty really likes is someone else?"

"From the perspective of concealing your womanhood, whether Du Shouming is loyal or not is unclear, but one thing is clear. Your Majesty wants to use you as a shield to suppress King Yu, King Zhuang and their party members. There was no need to do so I have to be so anxious. He has stabilized the court for many years, is he afraid of delaying for another three to five years? The only possibility is that His Majesty's body may not be able to last for three to five years..."

Yun Miaoqing sighed as she spoke, "Oh my god, it's about to change."
