The concubine lifted the table, the prince was too rampant

263: Turning point The cold wind whizzed past the window, and the mottled tree shadows cast black shadows on the window. Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan listened to Madam Wu's report, and stood there silently for a while.

Mother Wu was not sure, looked at the two of them with trepidation in her heart, and added, "This old slave can hear, that's all I can find out. I never thought that girl...is still alive, old slave. My heart is still beating, I can't believe it's real."

The title of girl is actually a bit inappropriate. Nanny Wu should call Du Qingyi auntie, but Du Qingyi faked her death back then and was not married. Even though she had a child out of wedlock, she cannot be called auntie, because only married girls can be called auntie.Although Du Qingyi later married Jinghaihou again, the old habits of many years did not make these old servants change their minds.

"So Mrs. Du and Mrs. Jinghaihou have met?" Zi Jin took a long time to recover and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Madam Jinghaihou didn't intend to admit it at first, but Madam took out the relics left by the general back then. Madam Jinghaihou cried when she saw it, and then they recognized each other." Madam Wu sighed, Du Qingyi and General Du's relationship is really good, but it's a pity that the world is impermanent, joys and sorrows are destined by heaven.

Ye Mingxuan looked at Nanny Wu and asked, "Did Mrs. Jinghai Hou say why she cheated her death back then?"

Mother Wu thought for a while and said: "I mentioned one point, that it was not the girl who was willing to fake her death back then, but the late emperor who threatened the lives of General Du's family in order to make the current sage die. Fake death and leave without telling everyone, and all of this was arranged by the late emperor. So the Du family didn't know that the girl was still alive for so many years, if our wife hadn't accidentally lifted the curtain of the car when Mrs. We met by chance, and never would have thought that the girl is still alive."

It was only then that Zi Jin suddenly realized, no wonder Du Manqiu tried his best to see Mrs. Jinghaihou.

"How did Mrs. Du order you this matter?" Ye Mingxuan asked again.

"Madam said that today's matter should not be leaked out by the old slaves, because Madam Jinghaihou doesn't want the current Holy Majesty to know that she is still alive." Wu Mama replied, but her palms were full of sweat, knowing so much. Secret didn't know if he could survive, but for the sake of his son, he had to grit his teeth and endure.

Seeing Madam Wu's uneasy expression, Zi Jin comforted her knowing that she was worried, "Don't worry, after the matter is resolved, I will definitely arrange for your mother and son to stay away from Beijing and enjoy the rest of your life in peace."

Nanny Wu breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed fiercely to Zi Jin, and then retreated.

The husband and wife looked at each other, and Zi Jin first said: "What should we do now? Since we already know that Lan Niang is Du Qingyi, if we really want to tell the current emperor, should we first speak to Wu Zhen?"

Ye Mingxuan's expression was a bit complicated, excitement mixed with worry, worry mixed with excitement, he kept walking up and down the room, and finally stopped and looked at Zi Jin and said: "Don't say it yet, wait for the news from Jiangnan to come. Besides, at least we have to have all the witnesses and material evidence. When the witness and material evidence are complete, it is best to persuade Wu Zhen to persuade his mother to come out to relieve the disaster for you. I don't want to impose difficulties on others, but if Du Qingyi doesn't show up, you mean It is extremely dangerous, as long as Du Qingyi is willing to show up and let the emperor know that she is still alive and married again, maybe the emperor will put it down instead."

This is the most ideal result, but... "Will Du Qingyi come forward? After all, she is Mrs. Jinghaihou now. If she comes forward, how will she explain to Jinghaihou? How will she gain a foothold in Beijing in the future? How will the First Prince deal with himself? "

Zi Jin rubbed her forehead and sighed, it was not easy to persuade Du Qingyi to come forward.But before persuading Du Qingyi, he had to tell Wu Zhen the truth of the matter, Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan didn't know if he could accept such a thing.

This world is so unreal, even Zijin feels that life is too distorted.

If it was before, Ye Mingxuan could have called Wu Zhen out and said straight to the point without any scruples.But it doesn't work now, Wu Zhen is no longer an enemy to him, so Ye Mingxuan doesn't want to hurt Wu Zhen, nor does he want to lose such a friend.

The way to free Zi Jin is to put Wu Zhen's family in crisis. How do you ask them to do such a thing?

Dilemma, nothing more.

"Let's wait for the news from Jiangnan to come." Zi Jin lowered her voice, and she could delay for a moment. She didn't want to hurt Wu Zhen because of herself. If she wanted to exchange the happiness of Wu Zhen's family for her happiness, how could Zi Jin So selfish to take other people's happiness?

God gave them another problem, Zijin couldn't help crying, it was too difficult to stay together, why couldn't God let her go?

Originally, he only wanted to prove that Lan Niang was Du Qingyi, but now that it was really confirmed, he fell into a dilemma again.

"Little girl, don't worry, there are still [-] days to go, maybe we can come up with a perfect plan." Ye Mingxuan comforted, "I'll go and check first to see how much Wu Zhen knows about this matter, and then Make more plans."

Apart from nodding her head, Zi Jin couldn't think of any good solution at the moment.

"That's the only way to go, but there is one more thing, why did Master Jing Mi deal with Du Manqiu in this way? I can't feel at ease until I find out this point. I always feel that something big is about to happen, but my mind is caught I can't keep up with the point, and I can't figure out the line." Zi Jin has never let go of her suspicions about Mrs. Jing Mi, and now that Du Qingyi has surfaced, it seems that she is not someone with evil intentions, so Mrs. Jing Mi is really too serious. It's unbelievable.

Ye Mingxuan's facial features flickered brightly and dimly in the candlelight, and when he heard Zi Jin's words, he met her eyes and smiled, "I'm thinking about this too, maybe we should use Su Wan to do something."

"Leading a snake out of its hole?" Zi Jin's eyes flashed, "But the risk is relatively high. Mrs. Jing Mi is very scheming. Being able to stay in a place like Qingshui Temple for so many years shows that patience is second to none. I want to lure her out. , take some effort."

"Don't be afraid of scheming, just be afraid that she won't take the bait." Ye Mingxuan snorted coldly, "Why did Mrs. Jing Mi want the Ye family to have no sons and grandchildren? The Ye family should have no hatred with her, it is really hard to figure out."

"The Ye family did not feud with her, but there is a person in the Ye family who has a deep relationship with her, Du Manqiu!" Zi Jin guessed that the key to the matter was still Du Manqiu.

"But Du Manqiu doesn't seem to be aware of the insidiousness of Mrs. Jing Mi." Ye Mingxuan frowned, the more he thought about it, the more it became a mystery, the more he couldn't find any useful clues.

"Du Manqiu should have no deep hatred with Master Jing Mi, otherwise Du Manqiu would not have gotten so close to Master Jing Mi. The problem is here. Du Manqiu didn't know Master Jing Mi's intentions and always regarded her as a relative, but Master Jing Mi Why did she want to kill Du Manqiu? What reason did she have to do this? Without a suitable reason, a person would never go out of her way to murder Du Manqiu and the Ye family!"

Obviously knowing that the truth lies behind the fog, but there is still no way for people to quickly clear this heavy fog.

Ye Mingxuan and Zi Jin looked at each other helplessly, Zi Jin thought about it, and said: "Since I don't know, I can only follow your method to lure the snake out of the hole. But when is the best time to choose?"

Ye Mingxuan thought for a while, and then said: "Now that you imprison Su Wan, but don't interrogate her, I'm afraid Su Wan's heart is at a loss. Lock her up first, let her become more and more frightened, and then wait until the news from Jiangnan is confirmed. , you deliberately reveal the news to her. Waiting for a few days before the New Year's Eve, the family will be extremely busy, which is just a chance to give her a chance to escape. As long as she escapes from the Hou Mansion, she will definitely go to Qingshui Nunnery, and we will keep an eye on her. "

Zijin also felt that this method was out of the question, and the only thing to do next was to wait!

After the new year, it became more and more busy, because the Chu family was not in the Hou's mansion, and the Shen family followed Du Manqiu all day long to handle housework. During this time, Du Manqiu's expression improved a lot, and he treated Shen's family with kindness. Shen's mistakes After getting things done, it was basically just a few words of reprimand, and Du Manqiu patiently taught her how to manage housework.

The days just slipped by in a calm and busy way, until the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the people Ye Mingxuan sent to Jiangnan finally returned.

Looking at the piles of physical evidence, they were all the confessions of the residents of the village where Du Qingyi lived, as well as the confessions made by Wu, and the confessions of the people who buried her in the coffin.Ye Mingxuan has not been idle during this time. From Jin Yiwei's secret files, he found out who was sent by the late emperor to Jiangnan to blackmail Du Qingyi into feigning death to make the current emperor give up. As long as this person is willing to come out to testify, everything will not be a problem.

All is ready except for the opportunity!

In fact, Dongfeng also has it, but Zijin and Ye Mingxuan really can't bear to put Wu Zhen in a dilemma.

On the night when the evidence was received, the two wives guarding Suwan talked casually as usual, and then whispered in a low voice. Suwan, who was locked in the woodshed, eavesdropped through the door, her face pale The shape is crumbling.

It was cold in the middle of the night, and the woman guarding the gate went to a small house not far away to drink to keep warm. After a while, the two women guarding the courtyard gate also came to join in the fun. The four of them drank two jugs of small wine, and then emboldened themselves to drink. Get money.Su Wan looked at the movement outside through the crack of the door, her heart beating like a drum, she shook the door lightly, only to find that the latch was looser than before, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Slowly opened the door, only to find that it was the mothers-in-law who had circled the chain less, presumably because they were thinking of Su Wan and did not dare to escape, so their vigilance was particularly lax.Suwan held her breath and kept silent, quietly opened the door to the maximum, seeing that the small room not far away was still laughing, and then slowly walked out sideways.

Although Su Wan is not fat, the gap in the door is really not wide. Su Wan gritted her teeth and drilled hard, her face turned pale, then she got out, closed the door quietly, and walked around the woodshed , secretly sneaked to the back door.Every courtyard has a back door leading to the back alley of the Hou's Mansion, and An Yuan naturally has one too. This back door is meant to facilitate the entry and exit of An Yuan's people.At this time, the mother-in-law guarding the back door had already gone to the small room to keep warm, so Su Wan didn't encounter any obstacles, and opened the back door to escape.

As soon as Su Wan escaped, the noise in the small house stopped immediately, and the woman guarding the gate immediately reported to Zi Jin.

Ye Mingxuan led people to chase them out, and followed Su Wan all the way.

No sleep for one night.

Zi Jin got up before dawn, because she was worried that Ye Mingxuan would not be able to sleep, and Ye Mingxuan didn't come back when she greeted Mrs. Ye, so Zi Jin had to go to greet Mrs. Ye first, and Mrs. Ye's spirit became stronger and stronger. It's worse than before, Zijin tries to accompany the old man to talk more and talk about some happy things, people are always lonely in old age, no matter what Mrs. Ye was like before, at least after Zijin married into the Hou's mansion, Mrs. Ye never In order to feel sorry for her, regardless of whether Mrs. Ye is looking at Mrs. Yao's face or really likes her, Zi Jin wants to treat her elders well.

Dedicated to filial piety, is their own mind, there is no need to compare, do not need to care about.When no one is old, the upper beam is upright, and the lower beam is not crooked. He stands upright, and his children and grandchildren follow suit. The so-called precepts and deeds are nothing more than that.

Zijin doesn't think she has any great sentiments, but just thinks that people will grow old, so they just compare their hearts to their hearts.

Mrs. Ye likes to talk to Zi Jin very much. When Zi Jin went to pay her respects recently, she often dragged her to talk, and talked for a long time. She often talked about things about Ye Mingxuan's childhood.Zi Jin always thought that Mrs. Ye didn't like Ye Mingxuan, but she didn't think that Mrs. Ye knew many things about Ye Mingxuan's childhood very clearly, nor did she think that Ye Mingxuan was so naughty when she was young, so she didn't feel bored.

In fact, what people see may not be the truth, Mrs. Ye is not indifferent to Ye Mingxuan, otherwise how would she know so many things about Ye Mingxuan?

A heart, if you want to understand it, you can't just look at it, you have to listen quietly.

After talking with Mrs. Ye for a long time, Zijin then went to Meiyuan to greet the eldest princess.After Zi Jin left, Mrs. Ye looked at Zi Jin's back in a silent trance, and said after a long time: "Miss Jin is a future wife."

Mother Song was shocked, looked at Mrs. Ye and blurted out: "Old lady, you want to hand over the power of the Hou family to the third young lady?"

The public property of the Pingbeihou Mansion has always been in the hands of Mrs. Ye, and has never been handed over to Du Manqiu for so many years. Even though Du Manqiu has been in the management for many years, she has never touched it.Mother Song always thought that Mrs. Ye would give it to the young lady even if she didn't give it to Du Manqiu, but she didn't expect that she would take a fancy to the third young lady in the end.

Mrs. Ye nodded lightly, "Those who manage the communist affairs of the Hou Mansion must have a fair heart."

"But the Hou Mansion will be inherited by the young master in the future." Mama Song mentioned, isn't this the root of the disaster?

Mrs. Ye remained silent and did not answer Madam Du. Sometimes the public property and the Hou's Mansion can be separated, as long as a copy of the mutual deed is in hand.

******

Zi Jin never kept any secrets from the Eldest Princess, when she was waiting for Ye Mingxuan to come back, she still told about Du Qingyi in detail.

The eldest princess was stunned in an instant, and she didn't come back to her senses for half a cup of tea.

Du Qingyi is not dead!

"Then what do you and Ming Xuan plan to do?" The eldest princess naturally figured out the mystery behind it, her expression was a little dignified.

Zi Jin gave a wry smile, "Let's take a step and see. Ming Xuan wanted to communicate with Wu Zhen first. After all, Wu Zhen has worked hard for our affairs, and we must not be ungrateful."

The eldest princess looked at Zi Jin, why is this girl so hard-working, she has already had a turning point, but she has her friend's family, even she doesn't know how to choose.

"Anyway, Du Qingyi didn't die, it finally gave us a chance to buffer, and finally we have hope." The eldest princess's complexion eased. Although she was still living in the cracks, at least it was much better than the hopeless situation a while ago. up.

"Ming Xuan and I think the same way." Zi Jin said with a smile, "Now we are just waiting for the news from Mrs. Jing Mi, maybe we can gain something from here."

"Recently, the Empress Dowager often invites Master Jing Mi to the palace to explain Buddhism. I only hope that this person can devote himself to goodness." The eldest princess sighed and said slowly. People who are full of Buddhist scriptures hope to save others and save themselves.

Zi Jin frowned slightly, Queen Mother?Zijin Suitan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't think too much about it. It was not uncommon for nobles in the harem to invite a famous nunnery master into the palace to explain Buddhism.

At this moment Ye Mingxuan came back, knowing that Zijin was in Meiyuan, he came here directly.

Zi Jin hurriedly stood up, looked at him and asked, "Did you find anything?" While speaking, she poured tea and handed it to Ye Mingxuan.

Ye Mingxuan took it and gulped it down, and then said: "Suwan just entered Qingshui nunnery and never came out again, and no one came out of Qingshui nunnery until dawn, everything was very quiet."

Zi Jin frowned suspiciously, and the eldest princess said at this time: "Don't worry, it's a fox that will always show its tail. Master Jing Mi is too thoughtful, and she may suspect that someone is watching, maybe it will take a day or two before she takes action. ,be patient."

"What mother said is true." Zi Jin replied with a smile.

Ye Mingxuan looked at the eldest princess and Zi Jin, and said slowly: "I thought about it for a long time, and decided to make it clear to Wu Zhen, no matter what choice Wu Zhen made, I would not blame him. It's about his mother's reputation, so we still can't act without telling Wu Zhen."

Zi Jin heaved a sigh of relief, she also thought so, she looked at Ye Mingxuan with a smile and said, "It's up to you to decide."

The eldest princess frowned, but still said: "You young people have your own ideas, so go ahead and do it."

There is no way to have the best of both worlds in this matter, and one party is doomed to make concessions.No matter whether Wu Zhen would agree to Ye Mingxuan's persuading his mother to meet the emperor and talk about the matter, Ye Mingxuan wanted to be prepared.If Wu Zhen really refused, he would have to think of other ways. After all, time is limited and there is no need to delay.

******

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, it rained lightly. Snow is common in cold winter, but rain is a bit rare.

Sitting opposite Ye Mingxuan, Wu Zhen said with a smile, "Why are you so busy asking me out today?"

Ye Mingxuan poured a glass of wine and handed it to Wu Zhen, poured another glass for himself, raised the glass and said with a smile: "Have a drink first, we're talking about business."

Wu Zhen raised his brows, but did not refuse, and said, "I happen to have something to talk to you about, let's talk about it after drinking!"

The wine glasses collided with each other, making a crisp sound, and the two drank it all in one gulp, and instantly the room was filled with the aroma of wine, making people want to get drunk.

"What do you say first." Ye Mingxuan looked at Wu Zhen, he was afraid that if he said it first, Wu Zhen's matter would never be said again.

Wu Zhen let out a laugh, and said: "You still have this kind of virtue, okay, let me talk about it first." His voice paused, he put on his clothes and looked at Ye Mingxuan with a serious expression, "No matter what you think, in short, you must not let Ah Zi enters the palace, I can't tell you the reason, I can only tell you that if A Zi enters the palace, there will be a catastrophe. Ming Xuan, just take it as me, no matter what method you have, you must stop A Zi from entering the palace. palace!"

Ye Mingxuan saw the desperation flashing in Wu Zhen's eyes, and his heart suddenly became turbulent, "How can I trust you if you refuse to explain clearly?" It's not that Ye Mingxuan didn't believe Wu Zhen, but hearing Wu Zhen's words seemed like There is a feeling that Wu Zhen seems to know Lan Niang's true identity, he wants to test it out, otherwise why would Wu Zhen say this.

Wu Zhen really wanted to say, he wanted to tell Ye Mingxuan that the palace would catch fire on New Year's Eve, and Zi Jin's figure would disappear in the fire, he didn't dare to take the risk.What's more, he promised the professor not to tell the truth, otherwise he would disappear in this time and space.He also wants to save Zijin, so he can't disappear.If Ye Mingxuan can't stop Zi Jin from entering the palace, at least he will help in the palace.

He only hoped that Ye Mingxuan could do this!

"Mingxuan, I have difficulties, and I can't tell the reason. But please believe me, you must never let Azi enter the palace." Wu Zhen almost begged.

Ye Mingxuan became more suspicious, stared hard at Wu Zhen, and then said: "You actually know, don't you?" Ye Mingxuan thought that Wu Zhen knew about his mother, and knew his mother's real identity.

Hearing this, Wu Zhen was taken aback, looked at Ye Mingxuan's calm expression, pursed his lips and said, "What do you mean? Could it be that you also know something?" Wu Zhen thought that Ye Mingxuan knew what Zijin would encounter, and couldn't help but Could it be that Ye Mingxuan also received a notice when he was reborn?

Both of them refused to speak clearly, but in the end they caused a misunderstanding. Ye Mingxuan looked at Wu Zhen, then stood up slowly, and said: "I don't blame you for making such a choice, you let me organize the little girl I am very grateful for entering the palace, from now on, we will not meet again."

Ye Mingxuan thought that Wu Zhen still chose to stand by his mother and safeguard the interests of the Jinghaihou Mansion, but in fact it was human nature to do so, and he did not blame him.

But Wu Zhen was a little confused, as if he and Ye Mingxuan were thinking about something different, seeing Ye Mingxuan's back disappearing outside the door, Wu Zhen immediately chased him out, no, he had to ask clearly.He was just begging, why did he end up not seeing each other again, what does this mean?
