Chapter 476 Sending a letter (3)
"Maybe Fafo Temple is truly blessed by the Buddha. If it does not rain, the fire will be so big that it will be impossible to control it with the wind. If the fire spreads, the entire Fafo Temple will definitely be destroyed." A counselor said.

Yongkang Hou nodded.

Not long after, Mrs. Yongkanghou came to the study, and Mrs. Yongkanghou also knew several counselors.Several people greeted her, and she nodded with a gloomy expression.

The Marquis of Yongkang frowned when he saw that she was soaking wet, and asked her, "You left the palace and didn't go back to the mansion. What are you doing in Xie's eldest house?"

Mrs. Yongkanghou glanced at Yongkanghou, but did not answer.

"I ask you, besides what you asked your personal girl to do to spread rumors. What else did you do?" Yongkanghou asked.

Madam Yongkang Hou shook her head.

"You really didn't do it?" Marquis Yongkang stared at her, "Don't lie to me, the Fafo Temple caught fire, and Princess Ying, Second Young Master Zheng, and Miss Fanghua were assassinated. Hou Mansion. Under the pressure of the two mansions, it is impossible for the emperor not to investigate this matter strictly. Anyone who has the slightest involvement in this matter will be fatal."

Mrs. Yongkang Hou's complexion changed for a moment, the paleness was tinged with gloom.

"If you only take action against Xie Fanghua for spreading rumors, although the method is indecent, but because the Zhongyonghou Mansion and our Yongkang Marquis Mansion have feuded against each other because of Yanting. Even if the Queen can control her, after the Emperor returns to Beijing, at most we will take the opportunity to take revenge. There won't be too much blame, and you can't avoid reprimanding me. But if you do other things, then our Yongkanghou Mansion will be involved. This is a big deal, madam." Yongkanghou stretched out his hand Holding Mrs. Yongkang Hou's shoulders, she spoke earnestly.

Madam Yongkang Hou moved the corners of her mouth, but still did not speak.

"Is there something you are hiding from me?" After all, the Marquis of Yongkang is a man in the middle of the court, and he has been married to Mrs. Marquis Yongkang for many years.He didn't let go of her wrong look.

Mrs. Yongkang Hou was silent for a moment, before she whispered, "There is indeed one thing I didn't tell you."

"What's the matter?" Yongkang Hou raised his heart.

"Three days ago, someone gave me a secret letter. It said that the Fafo Temple will catch fire today." Mrs. Yongkang Hou said.

The expression of Yongkang Hou changed, and he asked, "Where is the letter? Where is it?"

"Destroyed!" Mrs. Yongkang Hou said.

"Why did you destroy such an important letter? Why didn't you keep it? Ever since Ting'er left, you haven't had enough brains." Yongkang Hou was anxious.

"I didn't destroy it. After I read the letter, the letter automatically turned black and was destroyed." Mrs. Yongkang Hou said.

Marquis Yongkang was taken aback, "Is the letter untouched? How could it automatically turn black and be destroyed?"

"It should have been smeared with medicine on the letter paper, and my hands were also burned at that time." Madam Yongkang Hou spread her palms, "Look, I still have traces here."

Marquis Yongkang looked down at his wife's palm, and sure enough, he saw a small piece of charred black on her fingertips, which she used to pinch letters.He frowned, "Who is the person who sent you the letter? So cautious? It should be because he is afraid of leaving evidence."

Mrs. Yongkang Hou shook her head, "I don't know who it is. The letter was nailed to my window with a dart. At that time, only my dowry Xia Hua was present. We were all taken aback. I asked her to send the letter Take it. After reading it, I went out to look for suspicious people, but when I searched around, there was no one there. Later, the letter automatically turned black and became paper ashes within a few moments."

"Then you arranged to kill Xie Fanghua according to what you said in the letter?" Yongkang Hou glared, "I said why do you insist on attacking Xie Fanghua? So there is this reason. But why don't you talk to me about such an important matter?" Discuss? Let me know?"

Mrs. Yongkang Hou pursed her lips, "I just mentioned it to you that day, but you didn't agree. I didn't mention it later. I thought that Xie Fanghua's reputation would be ruined by then, and even the high-walled courtyard of the Zhongyonghou Mansion would not be able to accommodate it." You will be happy when she is such a monster. Who knew that the queen would help her! It's really hateful."

The Marquis of Yongkang sighed, "If you don't know who sent you the letter, you dare to believe it. I don't know whether you are eager for revenge or too courageous. I have told you a long time ago that a gentleman takes revenge, ten It's not too late, but you just don't listen."

"Can I listen? My son's whereabouts are unknown now. Even the emperor's people can't find him. I don't know if something happened. And now that Prince Ying's mansion is married to Zhongyonghou's mansion, even the emperor has to be scruples .Ten years is too long, I can't bear it. As long as there is a chance, I will definitely seize it." Mrs. Yongkang Hou said.

"Who on earth is using your hand to harm Xie Fanghua and Zhongyonghou's mansion?" Yongkanghou was puzzled.

"Zhongyonghou's Mansion has been standing for hundreds of years. If you talk about the real home of Zhongming Dingshi in Southern Qin Dynasty, Zhongyonghou's Mansion is the second, and no one dares to be the first. Even the royal family's rich and prosperous Yingqin Prince's Mansion is no more than the first It has been prosperous for 200 years. Although it is very favored, its background is not as good as Zhongyonghou's Mansion." Mrs. Yongkang Hou said, "How many people are jealous of such a mansion, and how many people want to pull it off. How can you guess who it is."

Yongkanghou shook his head, "Although there are too many people who are jealous of Zhongyonghou's mansion, and there are too many people who wish to pull it off the horse, there are still very few people who are capable and capable and ignorantly use their wrists behind their backs without leaving a trace. "

Mrs. Yongkanghou looked at Yongkanghou, "Can you guess who it is?"

"Now the younger generation in Nanqin has grown up, and the older generation is not too old. It's time to replace the old with the new. There are too many capable people, how can I guess who it is?" Yongkanghou shook his head, Confirm again and again, "Think about it again, is there anything else besides this one thing?"

"No more." Madam Yongkang Hou shook her head.

"It's an eventful autumn, and the matter of Fafo Temple is too big. Ma'am, you must not hide it from me anymore." Yongkang Hou said solemnly.

"Although I have always been strong in the mansion, even though I was disturbed by Ting'er's departure, I still know the seriousness of the matter. I saw that Xie's eldest house was surrounded by the emperor's imperial army. How dare I hide it from you? Naturally, there is nothing else. It's about that." Mrs. Yongkang Hou shook her head.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, the Marquis of Yongkang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if there is nothing else. When the emperor returns to Beijing, if he summons me, you can enter the palace with me, and first plead guilty to the emperor and tell the whole story first." Clear. This is not a big mistake, the emperor has always treated the Yongkang Hou Mansion kindly. It is nothing more than a reproach and will not be severely punished."

Madam Yongkang Hou nodded.

Yongkanghou's restless heart has finally calmed down since he knew that the queen had captured his wife's dowry.

"The eldest son of the Xie family is probably finished this time." Madam Yongkang Hou said, "After all, the eldest son of the Xie family is attached to the Xie clan and bears the name of the Xie family. Importantly, the Xie clan may not be able to spare the eldest wife of the Xie clan."
