Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 127 Meeting Ceremony

From the time Yun Xi left the house to when she returned to Beijing, she never said anything to the outside world, and the world only thought that the princess was ill again.

On this day, a special guest came to the palace of the princess, Bai Shuyun, the young master of Baiyun Villa.

As soon as Bai Shuyun climbed over the wall, he was discovered by the guards in the mansion. If Qingyi hadn't arrived in time, Bai Shuyun would not have been able to stand here so gracefully.

The guards of the princess mansion were all carefully selected by Marquis Jingbian. Although they were not as good as the hidden guards of Prince Xuan's mansion, their fighting strength was still very good.

When Yunxi arrived, he saw Bai Shuyun was dressed in white, still looking like he was going to be beaten, and he didn't have the slightest sense of being captured.It was late autumn now, and he was still shaking a fan, but his slightly messy hair looked a little weird.

Yun Xi knew him well, and knew his temperament, so he lowered his head and smiled lightly. "Why does Young Master Bai come to my place when you have time?"

Bai Shuyun patted the dust on his clothes and said, "Princess, I came here to give you a gift out of kindness, but you treat guests like this."

Yun Xi chuckled, "I've never heard of a guest entering through the wall."

Bai Shuyun was embarrassed. He wanted to sneak in to surprise everyone, but he didn't expect to be discovered just after entering the mansion.It was the guards of the princess mansion who gave him a surprise.

"Princess, don't care about these details, won't it be enough when the gift arrives?"

"Oh? Let's see if the gift presented by Young Master Bai is of value. You also know that these people in my house are all sent by Marquis Jingbian. If the gift is too boring, there is no guarantee that they will not hand you over to Daddy As far as I know, some gadgets were lost in the palace in the early years, and I seem to have heard that it has something to do with your Baiyun Villa, I think Daddy would be interested!" Yunxi said lightly while drinking tea.

Bai Shuyun's expression changed immediately, and he smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, I offended you because I don't understand etiquette, please forgive me for being reckless."

Seeing the speed at which his face changed, Yunxi immediately laughed, "Okay, we are friends, just kidding. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Bai Shuyun also laughed embarrassedly, "I was planning to come to Beijing to attend the wedding of my son, but I met an old friend on the way, and after hearing something, I realized that something happened to my son." He just looked at Yunxi's face and saw that Yunxi ignored him, so he said again: "Well... I am here to visit the Princess today, and I will give you a gift as well. I think the Princess should be interested."

"Oh? Are you so sure?" Yun Xi smiled.

"A friend of mine knows about the Zhongyonghou Mansion!"

Yun Xi's eyes lit up, "Let's hear it?"

Bai Shuyun stopped beating around the bush and said: "The old Zhongyonghou was killed by someone, and the person who did it was the later Zhongyonghou Zhang Qiyong!"

Yun Xi was also taken aback by this shocking secret, it was something that even Bai Xiaosheng didn't know, how could Bai Shuyun know?

"Young Master Bai, this is not a trivial matter, you'd better have evidence!" Yun Xi reminded.

Bai Shuyun was full of confidence, "Princess, I dare to say that there is evidence. At the beginning Zhang Qiyong was looking for a gangster, and that person was Wu Jiang. Although he was silenced in the end, Zhang Qiyong didn't know. The elder brother's family suffered a disaster, and his nephew just came to join him. Wu Jiang knew that the matter was serious and he could not escape, so he quietly told his nephew about his possessions in those years and this matter. That child is very smart, He escaped overnight, so that Zhang Qiyong didn't even know his existence, so he escaped a catastrophe."

"Seeing Zhang Qiyong's high position and authority for many years, he has never dared to speak out. Recently, he learned that something happened to Zhang Qiyong, so he dared to speak out about it. It happened to be known by a friend of mine, and I just happened to know that the princess was right about these things. Interested in this matter, I presented this gift to the princess. How about it, is the princess satisfied?" Bai Shuyun proudly waved the fan in his hand.

"Young Master Bai has a heart." Yun Xi nodded to express his gratitude, and then slowly said: "Young Master Bai, has he met the Elder Son?"

Bai Shuyun froze immediately, not knowing what to say.He was stopped by Xiao Cheng on the way, and he was shocked after knowing some things, but he had a word with Xiao Cheng before he could speak to Xiao Muyun, so he was afraid to see him.

Yun Xi was somewhat familiar with Bai Shuyun, seeing his expression, he knew that things might not be that simple.

"Don't Young Master Bai plan to meet Xiao Shizi? Does Xiao Shizi know about this?"

Bai Shuyun thought for a while and said: "It's still missing! Next time, I'm looking for the princess, so it's better not to let people know. The princess can pass the message on her behalf."

Yun Xi sneered, "Young Master Bai, wise people don't say dark words, there are some things you should know, so don't make such jokes again."

Bai Shuyun also knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Yun Xi didn't want to pursue it any further, "Yun Xi received this gift from Young Master Bai, and please keep it a secret from Young Master Bai, so that no one else will know about it."

"Don't worry, the princess! I understand that that person will be brought to the mansion tomorrow, and the princess can inquire. I will be in the capital soon, and the princess can send a message at any time if there is something to do. The gift has been delivered, so I won't bother you any more." , Farewell." After speaking, Bai Shuyun left.

Yun Xi reviewed the whole matter carefully, Zhang Qiyong must have used the life of the loyal and brave Marquis as a condition in exchange for his own position!
Back then, the queen mother supported him so much, presumably an agreement was reached.In this way, it can be shown that there must be a problem with the identity of the Queen Mother, and my guess is indeed correct!The queen mother must be Princess Huaiyu back then, not the emperor's biological mother.

Soon it will be the emperor's birthday, and things will turn around soon.

That night Qingzhi brought news from the palace, and within three months, he finally found some clues.

With Yue Tian's help, Qing Zhi quickly gained a firm foothold in the palace, and the money Yun Xi gave him also played a big role.Qingzhi's own abilities are not weak, and he soon became a duck to water in the palace.

Through his intentional contact, he met several father-in-laws who served in Shoukang Palace.After "losing" nearly 300 taels of silver to him, he finally revealed some news.

After the Empress Dowager got seriously ill that year, several personal maids around her were released from the palace one after another. Since then, the dry well in the corner of Shoukang Palace has been haunted by ghosts, and some people have heard the cries of female ghosts there.

Afterwards, Qingzhi also wanted to sneak into the Shoukang Palace, but the guards in the Shoukang Palace were tighter than expected, and there were many masters, so he was almost exposed, so he had to give up.

In the end, I had to inquire from the palace people. After three months, Qingzhi heard about ghosts from many people. An old eunuch who was released from the palace even heard the cry of a female ghost. He said to this day I still get goosebumps when I wake up.

Qingzhi suspects that all the so-called maids who left the palace were thrown into that well, and even the original queen mother might be buried here.

Yun Xi thought for a while and agreed with Qing Zhi's opinion. Since ancient times, there is no wind without waves, and the rumors of hauntings during that time should not be as simple as a coincidence.

"Qingyi, send a message to the prince, the time has come!"
