National color medical concubine

Chapter 59 Doubt

Xie Qiao didn't figure it out until the banquet.

Rubbing the beads on her wrist, if she knew the depths, she should understand that she couldn't go any further.

Xie Qiao leaned tiredly on the pillow, no longer thinking about it, thinking about the day when he would go to Anye Temple to meet Aunt Scar.

Rong Shu looked at the tired-looking Xie Qiao, and leaned over to rub her forehead: "Grandfather and grandmother both hoped that the second sister would be the princess, but they never thought that the second sister would not want to, so she would put her idea on you." Speaking of Here, full of sorrow.Today was supposed to choose the crown princess, but unexpectedly only the side concubine was chosen.The candidate for the crown princess is uncertain for a day, and she feels uneasy in her heart: "Big sister must be careful in the future."

The prince and the queen are obviously coming for her, and I'm afraid they won't give up easily.

"En." Xie Qiao slowly opened his eyes, his cold eyes were like an ancient well without waves, but there was a cold light hidden in the depths.Su raised a corner of the curtain with his hands, and told the coachman, "Go to the residence of the Duke of Zhen."

Rong Shu was startled, not knowing why she suddenly changed her mind.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of Zhen Guogong's mansion, Xie Qiao got off the carriage first and stood in front of the closed mansion gate.

The plaque has been removed, and the rivets and vermilion lacquer gates have been mottled for a long time.Although the door was deserted, it was not barren, as if someone had been sweeping it.

The maid helped Rong Shu out of the car, twisted her wide sleeve with one hand, and knocked on the door with the other.

After a while, the door opened, and an old man in his seventies poked his head out.

Rong Shu took a jug of wine from the maid and handed it to the old man: "The peach blossom wine brewed last year, now that the peach trees are sprouting new branches, I came to visit my old friend. The old man didn't give up, so I took it to taste."

The old man took the jug and let the two of them go in.

"There's always been someone guarding here?" Xie Qiao looked at the clean and tidy courtyard and was surprised.It wasn't as overgrown with weeds as she thought.

Rong Shu smiled without saying a word.

Xie Qiao smiled wryly: "I'm wrong. If I hadn't let you come with me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to enter the door." Thinking of Rong Shu's words, she didn't just say it casually.

"If you don't tell me, mother will let me come with you." Rong Shu took Xie Qiao to Hanyan Pavilion with ease.

The peonies all over the mountains and plains are in full bloom, and they are in full swing, as if they are going to dye the sky red.

Standing in the Hanyan Pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of the green lotus pond. There is a thin layer of white mist on the surface of the pond, which is dreamlike and beautiful.

"It's a pity." Rong Shu sighed.

I don't know if it's a pity that Li Jingjing died young, or it's a pity that no one appreciates the unique beauty here.

Xie Qiao remained silent, turned around and looked at the peony on the hillside.Suddenly, his eyes paused and fixed on a certain place.Walking quickly, there is a lonely grave piled up on the mountainside.

In front of the grave stands a monument without words.

In a flash of thought, Xie Qiao's eyebrows twitched: "My mother?"

She did not expect that Mrs. Li, who was buried in the wilderness, was actually buried in the Duke's Mansion, her favorite place during her lifetime.

People who can have this right, besides today, who else can do it?

It's no wonder that the town government's mansion, which has been vacant for a long time, has not been rewarded.

Rong Shu nodded.

Xie Qiao knelt in front of the tomb and kowtowed three times.Touching the tombstone with her fingers, the scene of Mrs. Li hanging on the beam, reaching out to touch her for the last time came to mind, her hands clenched into fists.

You can rest assured that one day I will carve an inscription on your tombstone.

Restore your name!

Rong Shu picked up the small hoe for weeding, dug out a small wooden box behind the tombstone, handed it to Xie Qiao, and said, "My mother is well taken care of by your mother, and it happens that my uncle is on duty in the prison, and he misses your mother." For my kindness, I brought out two letters from Lord Zhen Guo. Before my mother had time to hand them to my aunt, something happened to my aunt." After a pause, Rong Shu continued: "There is a letter from the eldest princess. Mother went to take her to the eldest princess's mansion but did not meet her, and the news of the eldest princess's sudden death came the next day."

Xie Qiao's heart sank, the eldest princess——

Why is the eldest princess involved?
After taking the letter, he was about to tear it open immediately. With a pause, Xie Qiao stuffed it into his arms.

"My mother saw that you were single and weak, so she didn't intend to tell you about it. Later, seeing that you were having a hard time in Beijing, she decided to tell you to be prepared." Rong Shu reminded Xie Qiao: "When you leave the palace, Mother just told me about the letter."

Xie Qiao was taken aback. Liu just told her where Li's tomb was.

And after the palace banquet, she told her the letter... Xie Qiao looked at the majestic palace. Could it be that the things hidden in the letter have something to do with the people inside?

……

Xie County Palace.

The night breeze is cool, and the elegant fragrance of flowers slowly blowing in the courtyard permeates into the study, diluting the smell of alcohol in the room, making people calm and sober.

Yu Qinglan insisted on taking a full sip from the jug: "Did he make a move?"

"He thought that everything was ready, and I would definitely be buried there, so he didn't even bother to pretend." Qin Mo's eyes flashed sternly, sharp and unstoppable.The corner of the mouth slightly raised, revealing a strong sarcasm: "Perhaps my recent behavior has made him unbearable, so I am anxious to kill me."

Yu Qinglan clicked his tongue: "You have a close relationship with Third Emperor Uncle, how can he still sit still?"

Qin Mo's expression was stern. After all, he stole the throne by any means, so he was in a state of anxiety every day.

His mother, Uncle San Huang, and Emperor Ming were siblings of the same mother. The late emperor once said that Uncle San Huang had benevolence in his heart and was fit to be an emperor in a prosperous age.But Emperor Ming was different, he was ruthless and decisive, suitable for proclaiming himself emperor in troubled times.Now that it is a prosperous age, the third uncle is chosen as the crown prince.

His mother obeyed the emperor's order and supported the third emperor's uncle.

The first emperor passed away, and the third emperor's uncle in the edict became the Ming emperor.However, Uncle Sanhuang, who came from the border, broke his leg on the way.When Emperor Ming ascended the throne, he went to the fiefdom and was not allowed to be summoned and never to enter Beijing.

Zhen Guogong is loyal and does not support any party.Emperor Ming succeeded to the throne, although he was suspicious, he obeyed the emperor's order.His mother was angry because Emperor Ming persecuted his siblings in order to win the throne, so she told Zhen Guogong everything.

However, he did not expect that Lord Zhen Guo had collected evidence and was convicted of treason before he could publish it in the future.

Yu Qinglan said: "Duke Zhen wrote a letter in prison and sent it out. It's a pity that Mrs. Li is dead, so the letter might be destroyed."

Qin Suan suddenly thought of Xie Qiao, stretched out his hand to press the wound on his shoulder, and said with a sneer, "He was very suspicious. Back then, he set fire to the princess mansion, intending to destroy the evidence, but he was still worried that things would fall into my hands." Turning the wrench on his thumb , The cold light in the eyes never faded.But he didn't continue this topic, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You and Yu'er are not young, when do you plan to fulfill the engagement and come to my residence to propose marriage?"

Yu Qinglan smiled calmly on her face, and she froze for a moment, raised her eyebrows and said: "Did you not doubt Qin Yu about today's matter?"

"Snapped--"

There was a crisp sound of breaking dishes at the door of the study, followed by Sister Lin's exclamation: "Princess, are you alright?"
