Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

"Oh?" Chi Linjing's eyes were full of inquiry, intending to listen carefully to what Nie Renxi had to say.

But Nie Renxi had no intention of continuing to explain to him. He saw the young man in blue robe holding his hands together, looking down from the slanted window, unconsciously stroking the jade ring on his left middle finger twice, "Qian Chuanzi, they seem to Here we are." After saying this, he slapped his forehead as if he remembered something, turned around hurriedly, and muttered: "It's broken! It's broken! I don't know what happened to the delightful mooncakes that my father ordered me to make in the kitchen. The sweet-scented osmanthus The fillings and red date fillings must be separated. The fourth princess of Ming Dynasty seems to be allergic to red dates! I have to go and have a look..."

Chi Linjing frowned and watched him push open the door of Zhifeng Pavilion. Then, he turned his eyes and followed the slanted window lattice to focus on the lobby of Tingxian Tower.

A familiar crimson figure swaggered into his sight. This time Wan Ruotan was followed only by a young man in light blue robes. It was Hedan, the Northern Liao chess leader who had gone to the south of the Yangtze River to find the Ming Dynasty.

Chi Linjing was upstairs watching him walk through the crowd in the hall and go straight to Yin Luo, but his face no longer showed the displeasure it had shown some time ago.

"Is the news reliable?" He looked away and filled himself a cup of tea.

Ye Er immediately replied: "In the opinion of my subordinates, it is at least nine percent true. This matter has been circulating among the nobles of Bei Liao for a long time, but it has always been suppressed by the very powerful eldest princess. She even said, If anyone spreads it to the public, the nine tribes will be destroyed. Judging from this alone, the subordinates think she has a guilty conscience. Just like when the young majesty ascended the throne, rumors in the Southern Xia royal court actually spread that he was your child, and you never argued , I have never come forward to suppress you. I still remember what you said: Why bother with nonsense? Those who are clean will naturally be clean."

Chi Linjing picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "But you can't judge it entirely based on my mentality. After all, the eldest princess of Bei Liao is a woman. It is normal to care about reputation and suppress rumors. What's more, I don't believe that there are hundreds of mouths among the nobles of Bei Liao. , it’s all up to her to be able to suppress it, there must be some people or forces helping her, are there any such clues?”

Ye Er thought for a moment and then said: "What you said reminds me of something. Our spies stationed in Beiliao once sent back news that the father of Hongyinghou was the commander-in-chief of the Hufu Directly Administered Army of Beiliao. General Wan has never been to the imperial court since the new emperor of Northern Liao came to the throne. And this news started to get worse during that time, right?"

"No." Chi Linjing decisively rejected Ye Er's unspoken idea, "If this news was spread by the new emperor, the timeline would not match up. Moreover, I am sure that General Wan and The eldest princess of Bei Liao definitely didn't want Wan Ruotan to know about this. He was too high-spirited and had an unruly temper. How would he react once he learned that he was not sure. But if he never knew, then the superficial relationship among the nobles of Bei Liao would be Peace was maintained. Besides, if this news was true, wouldn't it mean that the nobles of Bei Liao were at odds with the Kunshan family they had supported? If they wanted to solve the problem from the root, they would choose to suppress such rumors together. .”

"You mean, even if Wan Ruotan learned the news, he didn't learn it in Beiliao because there was no channel?"

Chi Linjing nodded lightly, "Yes. If I guessed correctly, he should have heard some rumors in Beiliao. After asking many people, he didn't get the result, so he wanted to check it himself. And Daliang... is a very good person. The entry point. It is said that when he first came to Daliang, he went straight to Beijing, presumably to Yulan Road. In this way, he may have many clues about the old case that happened in Daliang Palace thirteen years ago. Also Because of this, King Yuanjin sent him letters again and again, inviting him to meet him."

"But this is a discord among the nobles of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Even if Marquis Hongying accidentally found clues about Prime Minister Yin when he was investigating the poor family in Kunshan, for what reason did King Yuanjin invite him to meet? You know, Marquis Hongying I have nothing to do with Yin Xiang, he doesn’t seem like someone who would threaten King Yuan Jin for an unrelated Daliang official.”

Chi Linjing shook his head when he heard the words. A mysterious light suddenly flashed in his eyes, breaking through the barrier of his thinking. The unsolved mysteries in the past were connected to everything at this moment, and gradually became clear. He put down the tea cup and looked at Ye Er. Look over where the sound came from. "King Yuanjin invited him to meet, not because of the old case thirteen years ago, nor to silence him. Do you still remember the bee slave who blocked the three of us from entering the city at Wuya Mountain in Lingzhou?"

Ye Er immediately replied: "Of course I remember. Wasn't she deceived by King Yuanjin and died tragically in Baihe Town? What does it have to do with this matter?"

"She must have nothing to do with this matter." Chi Linjing's tone was still unhurried. He lazily leaned back and leaned on the couch, "But her master Yushan, thirteen years ago, something happened to the Yin family. At that time, he was in the Imperial Palace in Shangjing. This time, Ming Zhidu asked Wan Ruotan to go to Lingzhou. Why did Fengnu block the road at Wuya Mountain? There is only one explanation that can explain it, and that is that King Yuanjin held a banquet in Lingzhou. Not only Wan Ruotan was invited, but also Yushan was invited. Wan Ruotan really confirmed the news, presumably because Yushan himself told it."

"That's it!" Ye Er frowned. After listening to Chi Linjing's analysis, he felt that everything that had happened before had found its root.

This side of the lobby of Tingxian Building.

Yin Luo leaned in front of the wooden pillar of Fenghuang Yufei in the northeast corner, waiting for Yu Ruyi, who was going to give a gift to the head of the Nie family, to come downstairs. I don’t know why, but after returning to this lonely mountain, this guy seemed to be a lot more generous than before. In the past, he would never have come to the banquet with any courtesy. Oh no, not only did he not bring gifts to banquets before, he also had to blackmail the host of the banquet for a large amount of money.

A cluster of purple swarmed in front of her eyes. She looked over and saw Wan Ruotan walking towards her with a smile.

He also had his hands folded across his chest, and walked with an indescribable arrogance, "Little A'luo, you and I are really destined. As soon as I walked in, the first thing I saw was you. Why are you standing here? ? Come to the banquet with me, and you can choose where to sit as you wish."

Yin Luo exhaled and was amused by his calm look of "Now that I'm here, this is my house."

"Hongying Marquis is so generous, please go ahead. The fourth seat from the left is specially reserved for you by His Majesty Emperor Chongwen." She raised her chin towards the upper seat and politely offered it to Wan Ruotan. Give directions.

Wan Ruotan frowned when he heard this, "Aren't you going to sit with me?" His expression simply said: I have come to invite you, how can you not sit with me?

Yin Luo also frowned, why should she sit with him? Her relationship with him isn't that good, right? Strangely enough, she remembered that she had only had very few contacts with Wan Ruotan, so why did he use an extremely familiar tone every time he spoke to her?

He even called her "Little Aluo". There weren't many people in the world who called her that affectionately. (End of chapter)
