Chapter 311 Entrusted by an old friend

Qi Yunhao glanced at her, and then said: "More than 20 years ago, there was a bloody case in the palace. The crown prince at that time, who is now the Holy Majesty, put the then King Yong in jail on the charge of treason, and was then sentenced to death." The ministers' residences involved were also bloodbathed. Hou Zhongyong was the general who led the army to capture King Yong, and then surrounded the exterminated ministers."

Hearing the word "Yongwang", Liuli suddenly felt her scalp go numb, and blurted out: "The minister who was exterminated is the young master Dou Jue?"

Qi Yunhao nodded, but did not speak.

Liuli's chest tightened for a while, it turned out that Zhongyonghou was the executioner who killed more than 300 people in Master Xu's family!Uncle Xu's sad eyes appeared in her mind again. At first, she thought that the murderer who killed him was the Holy One, and this revenge would probably not be avenged, but she did not expect that she would find the murderer, and he was the one she was going to deal with. Zhongyonghou Mansion, this is really easy to come by!

Don't say that Zhongyonghou just listens to His Majesty's words. If he didn't intend to destroy Xu Shishu's entire clan to claim credit, how could he not let go of his two children?And how could he sit in the position of Zhongyonghou with peace of mind?
This title was piled up from the corpses of Uncle Xu's Manchu family. If she didn't take revenge for him, how could she be worthy of his concern for her?
"Yizhen..."

Qi Yunhao looked at her with fire-breathing eyes, and blurted out two words.

Liuli hummed unconsciously, then raised her head, "What did you say?"

He lowered his eyes and turned his head, and changed his words: "I said, the matter of Haicang nunnery has been investigated, and the people in the nunnery said that the girl from Zhongyonghou's mansion is indeed repairing behind the scenes, but when our people went to investigate at night, they did not know what happened. They did not find Duan Wenhui's residence at all."

Liuli said: "Is there nothing?"

"No." He shook his head, "Not only does she not have a place to live, but she doesn't even have anyone accompanying her to serve her."

"Then what's going on?"

Liuli doesn't understand, if Duan Wenhui is not in Haicang Nunnery, is he still staying in Zhongyonghou Mansion?If there is no such thing at all, why did the Hou Mansion release this news?
"Will you check again?"

"Of course." Qi Yunhao scratched her nose, "I never want to ask questions."

Liuli went to bite his finger, and the two rolled together.

Wu Zixin would come to prescribe medicine for her every month now, after some conditioning, she really felt much refreshed, as if she hadn't been injured before, she was in good spirits every day, and her sleep was very regular.With such an effect, every time Qi Yunhao got close to her, he felt more and more harmonious and joyful.

This day Wu Zixin came to check the pulse again, showed it to Liu Li, nodded and said: "Grandma's pulse is getting more and more stable now, after taking this prescription, there is no need to take it again."

Rui'er said: "Open a few more and eat, will it be better if it stabilizes?"

Wu Zixin shook his head and said: "It's not advisable to take more medicine, it's three-point poison. At this time, the vitality is stable, as long as you work and rest on time every day, pay attention to your emotions, and feed yourself, that's the best."

Liuli nodded, sent Wu Zixin away, and asked Rui'er to fetch the medicine with the prescription.

When Rui'er walked to the door, she suddenly felt sick, she held onto the door frame and retched.Yuegui hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and asked in surprise, "Sister Rui'er, what's wrong? Do you want to call Imperial Physician Wu back?"

Liuli also looked over.Rui'er shook her head and smiled at Yuegui, "Maybe it was a bit of wind yesterday, it's okay, I'll take some wind-dispelling medicine later and I'll be fine."

Liuli frowned and looked at her: "Are you all right?"

"It's all right!" Rui'er smiled and said, "Don't you see that I'm pretty good?" She said and walked out quickly.

Liuli saw that she looked fine, so she looked away again, and asked Chunxiang to go to the kitchen to arrange dinner, and then asked Dongmei to go to Wu Zhong to get the monthly money for this month's girls.

After several months of observation, now Chunxiang and Dongmei are gradually becoming useful, and sometimes Liuli will specially arrange some errands that should belong to Yuegui and Haitang.Yuegui Haitang is going to get married soon, and there will always be someone to fill in the house. Although the two are not as honest and honest as Yuegui Haitang when she first entered the mansion, Liuli is now capable of satisfying their desires, so she is not afraid that they will be disrespectful to her. loyalty.

Fortunately, they were still well-behaved. Nanny Gu tried to get close to them on two occasions. Yuegui secretly saw that they didn't take the bait, but turned around and told her about it.Yuegui deliberately said: "Nurse Gu is Madam's confidant, and being close to you means I think highly of you." The two pondered for a while and said, "Sister Yuegui, needless to say, we are not Xia Zhi."

Xia Zhi was kicked out of the Chaoqing Hall, even though the people around him didn't know why at the time, they still had some rumors afterwards.Chunxiang Dongmei secretly rejoiced that she hadn't been tricked, but she did introspect herself for a while, anyway, she was a slave everywhere, with whom?Rui'er, Yuegui, Haitang and the three of them are not envious of the beauty of being with the grandma now?Not to mention anything else, Rui'er's husband became a general under Grandma, and Yuegui married the lieutenant next to the general. These are the reliable confidantes of the general and Grandma, and Grandma rewarded them with a house and property. These are all graces.Even the undecided Haitang would not be able to escape to a good home in the future, so this made them understand that the most reliable and convenient way is to stick faithfully to this grandma to gain the glory of the future.

Therefore, when answering Yue Gui's words, she was [-]% sincere.Yuegui relayed the words to Liuli, and Liuli began to train them.

As for Qiu Shuang, who was not dealt with at that time, Rui'er found a reason to kick her out later. Although she was not kicked out of the mansion, she also went to the back yard to sweep the corridor.And Nanny Bi had to keep it, she had an affair with the second room, so it was not easy to let her go.

Except for Wuyue, the four maids sent by Wu Zhong later, according to Liuli's account, were all gentle and hard-working, and the atmosphere in the main courtyard of Chaoqing Hall was really much better than before.

Fast forward to the fourteenth, and the Lantern Festival is out, and the year is over.

King Dingbei didn't have any special instructions for the Lantern Festival, because he himself was invited to drink by Prince Yu that night, and Mei's natal mother was not feeling well recently, and her brother had recently added a grandson, so she was going back to her natal home a trip.Liuli flipped through the notepad and saw that there was nothing particularly urgent to do, so she asked Rui'er to go to the White Horse Temple to offer incense tomorrow.

Liuli always feels that Yongxin has a lot to do with this copper box, but unfortunately he no longer knows where he went, this time, he only hopes that someone else will know the whereabouts of the copper box.

In the morning of the next day, I drove lightly and only took Yuegui Haitang, Ye Tong and Liu Wei to the White Horse Temple.There were still people guarding the south gate, but when they heard that it was someone from Dingbei Palace, they immediately waved to let him pass without saying anything.

It’s already the beginning of spring on the eighth day of the lunar new year, and the heavy snow that fell at the beginning of the year has not yet melted away. Sometimes there are sparrows looking for food in the snow in the haystacks on both sides of the road. The snow on the mountain is deeper, and the stone steps are a little slippery. Much slower than usual.

The first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year are the days for offering incense and worshiping Buddha. There is a constant flow of people in front of the mountain gate. Liuli worships Buddha and burns incense all the way to enter. When she arrives at the hallway door leading to the backyard, she turns her head and says to Ye Tong and Liu Wei: "Let's go in and pay homage to Avalokitesvara. You are waiting here." on."

Ye Tong and Liu Wei hesitated for a moment, Liuli said: "There will be nothing wrong in the temple. Just wait." The two had to stay at the door.

Liuli entered the Avalokitesvara Hall, and after worshiping the Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea, she went around to worship Maitreya Buddha at the back, and then went in through the back door, to the Zen courtyard where Yongxin stayed.

Although Yongxin was not in the monastery, the monk she saw when she came last time might know something about him, so she could only ask questions from there.

Arrived in a short while, the hall is still surrounded by sandalwood, very quiet, no different from the original appearance.In front of the door, the person kneeling and praising the Buddha in front of the Buddha table is still the white-browed monk, it looks as if Liuli has gone and immediately returned.

Liuli asked Yuegui Haitang to guard the door, burned incense in front of the Buddha, bowed a few times, looked around the Buddhist hall, then stood up, bowed to the monk and said, "Master."

The monk put down the gavel, handed the stick in front of her, and said, "My old man Yongcheng, what kind of lottery is the benefactor asking for?"

Liuli glanced at him and said, "I want to ask Master for a lottery today. May I ask what is the relationship between Master and Master Yongxin?"

Only then did the white-browed monk raise his eyes, and when he saw her, his eyes flickered, "It turns out that the wife of the general arrived."

Liuli said: "Master, please answer me."

Yongcheng was silent, "Yongxin is my junior brother."

Liuli nodded, and said again: "May I ask Master Yongxin what else is left in the temple?"

Yongcheng stared at the Buddha case, "Why does the benefactor ask this?"

Liuli said: "I have an old friend who is also an old friend of Master Yongxin. He once left something in the hands of the master. Now he asks me to take it back. Please tell the master clearly."

Of course she was not sure that the copper box was in Yongxin's hands, but since he has the original "Qi Guoce", it is not surprising that the copper box is in his hands.No matter what, if you can see what Yongxin left behind, you can also judge whether there is such a thing with the cleats on her body.

Yongcheng said: "What's the last name of the benefactor's old friend?"

Liuli was silent.

Yongcheng withdrew his gaze, stared at Muyu in front of him, and said for a long time: "Is the surname Xu?"

Liu Li was startled and said, "Master, why do you ask such a question?"

Yongcheng said: "If the surname is Xu, I have something to pass on here. If not, then I don't have it."

Liuli paused, rolled up her sleeves, and wrote "Xu Yuan" on the case with incense ash on her fingers.If the monk in front of him really had what she wanted, then if he knew Xu Shen, he must know Master Xu.If he just lied to her, then he probably didn't know her.

"The person you wrote about is the disciple of the benefactor's old friend, isn't he?"

Yongcheng stared at her closely, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Liuli clenched her cuffs and stood up, "Master seems to know a lot?"

Yongcheng's facial muscles trembled, and he gradually regained his composure after a while, "Benefactor, please come with me."
