Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 136

It is easy to meet some officials in Beitu as a businessman. After the war, Beitu was recovering, and officials in various cities welcomed Dajin's businessmen to promote trade.

Su Qianmo's business was very successful. He only revealed about Werther being wanted in Lin'an City, and the officials asked him about other things about Lin'an City. Su Qianmo then mentioned that he had an older brother. He worked in the Yangguan military camp, but disappeared in Beitu after a battle and never went back.

Su Qianmo took out the portrait of Lu Chongyan. The official promised to help inquire about the matter, but he did not reveal much about the Beitu King City. Coming out of the official's mansion, Witt took the portrait of Lu Chongyan to his original hiding place. Inquired about it.

More effective than what the official said, several children gave them messages, and one of them recalled that they had seen the person in this portrait. It was raining heavily that day. They hid from the rain under the eaves nearby and saw a team The patrol soldiers entered the dilapidated house and brought the person in the portrait out. They fought at the door, and finally the person in the portrait was subdued and taken away.

"I saw him being caught in the prison van with my own eyes." One of them gestured to the prison van used by Beitu to hold prisoners. "It is impossible for him to escape from there."

Werther took out money from his pocket and distributed it to them, "If he can really escape from the prison, he won't be able to survive." Beitu people are good at evil and cruel, and the captives in Dajin used to end badly. Most of them were injured to a certain extent, and it was basically impossible for them to come back intact like Lu Chongyan.

Su Qianmo looked at this dilapidated hiding place again, it wasn't very secretive, he began to doubt his original motive, after that battle, they won a big victory, no one should be there, excused Being taken away and escaping halfway is already suspicious.

"He didn't come here as a captive, he hid here on purpose." That's why he didn't find that there were fewer people when he cleaned up the battlefield, and when he was arrested, he had the opportunity to meet the second prince who hadn't rebelled at that time. Including several surrounding areas that were under the jurisdiction of the second prince at that time.

"Let's go back to Yangguan." The most urgent task is to intercept the letters between the two. There are not many letters between Yangguan and Hengguan every day. It is very simple to confirm whether it is a private letter from Lin'an.

Now that Yangguan is covered with heavy snow, it is impossible to get out or get in. Once the mountain road is cleared, the first group of people will definitely be the most. Su Qian went back to the military camp silently and ordered Xiao Si to form a manpower to keep an eye on the people passing by the road. , if there is any doubt, pay close attention to where it is going.

At this moment, Lin'an City has already been shrouded in the atmosphere of the New Year. From the beginning of the twentieth year, the sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the palace of Prince Ping is also very lively. Er Dong married from the mansion and then married into the mansion again. Yin Huan prepared another yard for her and Ah Xi, promoted her to be the same as Qing Ya, and transferred Xiao Zhu to him.

Now Brother Hao can turn over quickly, and sometimes he would sit on the soft couch and watch the people in the room rushing about. Yin Huan took the soup made of egg yolk from Mother Xu and blew it cold to feed him. After eating half a bowl of green sprouts, I came to report that the Jiangfu's annual gift had arrived.

"When did we give it away?" Yin Huan looked at the gift list, and Cheng Bi'er's offer was really generous. After coming and going, Yin Huan bought a lot just for the New Year gift.

"I sent it off the day before yesterday. Now it's snowing outside, and the road is hard to walk." Yin Huan nodded. It doesn't matter where they eat the New Year's Eve dinner. On New Year's Eve, they have to go to the palace to worship. Now they are in this weather I can't make it back.

Xi Nuan took a few maidservants to put up window grilles in each yard, and Yin Huan told Mother Xu, "Don't forget the ones in Zhuangzi."

"Miss, don't worry, I've posted it long ago." Yin Huan walked out of the house, the snow was heavy outside, from her, she could just see the bridge in the opposite garden, and now it is also a vast expanse of whiteness, it seems that this year is the There is no way to stand on it with him and watch the snow scene.

"Princess, the Mu family's carriage is outside." A servant girl came to report in a hurry, and Yin Huan sent someone to pick it up. Mu Yilin almost galloped over in a red robe. When she saw Yin Huan, she shouted happily. "Cousin" and gave Yin Huan a big hug.

"Look at your cold hands!" Yin Huan touched her hands, they were cold, and pulled her into the house, ordered someone to fetch hot water, Mu Yilin's face was flushed, seeing Brother Hao sitting on the couch Son, there was another surprise, and she wanted to go forward to hug him, but was stopped by Xu's mother, "Miss Biao, you just came in from the outside, you are cold, why don't you warm your hands first."

"I almost forgot." Mu Yilin grinned, and raised eyebrows at Brother Hao. The little guy was frightened by her, and looked at her blankly. The Nine Links.

"You're still reckless now." Yin Huan pinched her with a smile, "Second Aunt didn't say anything about you."

Mu Yilin warmed her hands and took off her coat, then went to hug Brother Hao, kissed him several times on the cheek and said with some complaints, "Where did I not mention me, she was about to read it, Brother Hao They didn't let me come over when the moon was full, saying that they haven't learned all the rules."

"Then you have learned everything now?" Yin Huan looked at her and teased, Mu Yilin laughed, of course she hadn't learned everything yet.

"I got married in spring, I think the second aunt thinks it's too late to teach." It's been almost three years since I last met, and this girl has become a big girl in no time. The little girl who met for the first time is now going to get married Yes, Yin Fei, who is about her age, got married in the second half of the year.

"Cousin, is my cousin's husband treating you well?" After a while, Mu Yilin lowered her head and asked suddenly. Yin Huan looked at her, and Mu Yilin just raised her head with a shy look on her face, "I'm just asking, cousin My brother-in-law asked for an imperial edict for you."

"He treats me very well." Yin Huan smiled, took her hand and answered seriously, "Meeting him in this life is my greatest luck."

"Cousin..." Mu Yilin muttered looking at the affirmation on Yin Huan's face, and laughed for a long time, "Cousin, you are not ashamed to say that."

"Are you talking about being better than you?" Yin Huan replied with a smile, Mu Yilin seemed to have remembered something, a look of worry flashed across her usually worry-free face, and she said angrily, "That guy is too cunning !"

Hearing what she said, Yin Huan seemed to have other secrets behind her, and looked at her with great interest, but Mu Yilin moved her mouth and refused to say any more, she kept talking about the cunning and treacherous future husband of Prime Minister Zuo's family, with an angry expression on her face uneven.

"Then are you still going to marry or not?" After hearing her complain, Yin Huan asked amusedly, and Mu Yilin's eyes widened immediately, "Marry, of course."

"Silly girl, take it as an easy matter to get angry with him." Yin Huan patted her on the head, "If your mother knew you were like this, would you still marry me?"

"Cousin, you don't know him!" Mu Yilin said with a flash of shame and anger on her face, and it took a while before she talked about the bet between the two of them and Yin Huan.

The smile on Yin Huan's face grew bigger when he heard that, the so-called betting contract was just a trick set up by the young son of Prime Minister Zuo's family. Knowing that his father would come to propose a marriage, the second aunt would definitely not agree, so he pushed Yilin to beg Jiang Side concubine, in this way, Second Aunt has to agree even if she doesn't think so.

"If he didn't have such thoughts, how could he have this agreement with you." After all, Yin Huan didn't see how angry she was really, so he comforted her with a smile.

Brother Hao in Mu Yilin's arms reached out and touched her face very cooperatively, Mu Yilin hugged him and kissed him several times, "Brother Hao, you are so cute, why don't you follow me to Hui'an later Bar."

Yin Huan rescued his son from her hands, and scolded with a smile, "You will give birth to one yourself next year, it's out of shape."

Mu Yilin stuck out her tongue, Yin Huan handed the child to the nanny to take a nap, sat next to her and sighed, the Mu family was worried, and she was also a little worried, "If you go to the prime minister's mansion, you can't let your own temper go like this You know, Mu Mansion is far away from here, Second Aunt and the others will definitely worry about you."

Maybe it was what Yin Huan said, she listened to it, Mu Yilin nodded, some things may not be understood by others, you have to experience it yourself...

After sending her out in the afternoon, the snow finally stopped. The newly recruited maidservants in the outer courtyard were playing in the snow. One of them saw Yin Huan in the corridor, and quickly pulled a few people beside him. Four of them were around five or six years old. The little maid knelt down to salute Yin Huan in fear.

Yin Huan looked at the half-built snowman, and suddenly remembered the Gu Mansion back then. When he first entered Zhuqingyuan, this group of sisters would also build snowmen in the yard in winter. The younger the age, the simpler the memories, just like These little maids.

Yin Huan passed through the corridor and the little maids dared to look up, one of them in pink caressed his chest and hissed, "I'm scared to death, Pearl, you're the smartest."

The little girl named Zhu'er slowly raised her head to look at the direction Yin Huan was going away and said, with a touch of childishness in her tone, "Tell me, is the princess very beautiful? She is the most beautiful person I have ever seen."

"Let me tell you, Sister Qing asked me to deliver things to Mother Xu that day. I saw the prince talking to the princess. They must be very affectionate." The little maid in emerald green clothes said with confidence with a chubby face. All the maids had varying degrees of envy on their faces.

Suddenly, an older maid scolded from behind, "What are you still doing here?" The four maids hurriedly stood up, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid stared at them with wide-eyed eyes, and the four of them stood in line , listening to the maid's training, the little girl named Zhu'er quietly raised her head to take a look, and the dark red figure had already disappeared in the depths of the corridor...

On New Year's Eve, it was approaching late at night, and the people in the palace came back one after another. Yin Huan came out of the palace gate, and it took only one night. There was a layer of snow under his feet. The palace people who cleaned the outer palace did not know I went to watch the fireworks there, and some lights flashed in the air from time to time.

After saying goodbye to the eighth concubine and the others, Yin Huan got into the carriage and returned to Prince Ping's Mansion half an hour later. After half an hour, a new round of fireworks bloomed in the sky, almost lighting up the night sky for half a day. The year is here again.
