The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

Xie Xuan lowered her eyes, remembering that Yu Xiuyun suddenly sat up at midnight and said to her seriously: "I want to get my purse back when I go hunting in autumn."

Xie Xuan sneered at that time, "Then go and ask for it."

She wanted to know how long Yu Xiuyun would be able to hold back if he couldn't get his wallet.

Xie Xuan came to her senses and chose to explain to Marquis Pingyang: "He needs to go to Shanglin Garden with His Majesty. He is busy with business."

"Furthermore, this autumn hunt may be... somewhat dangerous. He cannot leave Shanglin Garden, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come in the next month."

Yu Tingwan's expression moved slightly, "Danger?"

She nodded clearly. The danger that could make Marquis Pingyang unable to escape was not forcing a coup in the palace.

But when Pei Zhi is the emperor, how can anyone succeed in forcing the palace? It is just to indulge whoever plans the palace coup and wait to catch the turtle in the urn of Changyang Palace.

Facing a powerful ruler who firmly controls the situation of the court, there is no way to mobilize a single soldier under his nose to force the palace. The most convenient way should be to assassinate.

Yu Tingwan's face turned pale, and her sister-in-law vaguely replaced the word "danger" with a pause in her tone. She probably knew what would happen from her brother.

Xie Xuan did not deceive in this matter.

Many times, the lie needs to be clear and believable, while the truth needs to be vague.

What happened on Qiu Lie was so dangerous that his brother could not leave Shanglin Garden to see her.

"Wanwan?" Seeing her ugly face, Xie Xuan asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

"Maybe I didn't get a good rest last night and I'm a little dizzy." Yu Tingwan stood up and said, "Just go and lie down on the couch for a while."

She took a nap for a while, then stood up and heard a faint sound of pipa playing.

When they reached the neighboring courtyard, the intermittent music stopped, and they caught a glimpse of Xie Xuan looking down at the pipa in her arms, murmuring: "I haven't played for so long, I'm already rusty."

"Sister-in-law is good at pipa?"

"Not good at it." Xie Xuan said sincerely, "But compared with my piano sound, it's pretty good."

"I play the pipa more often for my children in my spare time. It's good for cultivating sentiment."

Amused by Xie Xuan's expression, Yu Tingwan followed her words and said, "In that case, I'd like to trouble my sister-in-law, but can you please stop playing the song? I've been feeling depressed lately."

I don't know why, but I seem to get angry more easily than before.

Sitting next to the desk, he clearly still held the book in his hand, but a dark fire suddenly surged up, making his heart restless.

Xie Xuan laughed when she heard this and said, "My father also didn't like me playing the song. Previously, he had to send me to the Marquis Mansion. I ran to his yard and played the song for three nights. He took a nap in the morning and was almost seen by His Majesty. .”

Xie Xuan played the pipa in her hand as she spoke. When she finished the last word, she was ready.

Under the finger, there are clear waves of the Xiang River. It looks like cicadas moving among tall willows at low places, and cranes rushing against blue clouds at high places.

Yu Tingwan looked at the woman holding the pipa in the courtyard and remembered Xie Xuan's words just now.

Previously, Huan Siniang invited a few friends to have a gathering. After Xie Xuan drank too much, she grabbed Yu Tingwan's sleeve and complained: "Princess, your brother is so useless. He drugged me with laughter and laughter in Jingzhou. At that time, Pingyang Marquis I even said that marriage was not a factor, but my father insisted on sending me there."

Yu Tingwan lowered her eyelashes. Xie Taichang even wanted to make the most of her daughter's marriage. She ignored her daughter's wishes and only made profits for the family. How could she be her brother's accomplice?

What's more, he is a great scholar, and the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers that he firmly adheres to in his heart will not allow him to do such a thing.

There can only be one accomplice of the elder brother, and that is the Emperor.

Pingyang Hou would not be stupid enough to go to the emperor to conspire to abduct the queen. Pei Zhi must have roped in her brother to trick her.

During these days, Yu Xiuyun was tempted by her and kept drinking tea, refusing to let out a single word.

The only person in the world who could make her brother lie to her was the one in Xuanshi Palace.

Yu Tingwan tightened her sleeves, wondering why her brother refused to tell the truth in private. The blood of brothers and sisters was thicker than water, and she wouldn't blame him.

Unless there is an eyeliner watching her.

A wave of annoyance emerged, running up his heart like a thin thread.

As soon as she woke up from the bed, she began to have doubts. The white jade paste made the roots of her legs sticky. The thing was so precious that ordinary people would feel distressed if it was as big as a soybean. Only Pei Zhi wished he could put some on it when he applied the white jade paste on her. layer.

There was also a method for tying the belt of the obscene pants, which he used to do on her. It looked complicated and fell off with a gentle pull.

If Pei Zhi really believed that she was dead, he would have at least asked the palace maid to put her clothes on properly, so that she would not be tied like this.

Once she began to suspect, she felt that every detail thereafter was evidence.

For example, the fruits sent by the Marquis of Pingyang, the grapes and red grapes from Liangzhou, and the bayberry from Kuaiji County.

Yu Xiuyun explained that it was His Majesty who rewarded all the officials, and why the rewards were always so coincidental. She casually mentioned to her maid in the courtyard that Dangjun pears were delicious, and they were delivered a few days later.

The most obvious one was when my brother specifically asked for leave and personally brought a small basket of lychees and warned: "The female doctor said not to eat too much. It just so happens that your Majesty's reward is small, that's all."

It is customary for Lingnan to pay tribute to lychees every year, but the journey is long and the weather is hot, and it is impossible for Pei Zhi to use thousands of horses to attack day and night just for a mouthful of lychees. Therefore, when they were sent to the capital, most of them were ruined, and only a small basket of edible lychees was left. .

Yu Tingwan felt that he was being deceived as a fool, but his brother explained: "Perhaps because of the death of the Queen, Your Majesty has paid special attention to the Marquis Mansion recently and rewarded many things."

The sound of the pipa in his ears suddenly stopped. Yu Tingwan came back to his senses and said apologetically: "Sister-in-law, I was distracted just now."

Xie Xuan didn't care at all, "It doesn't matter, I just saw that you were distracted, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips tightly. She just wanted to know if her guess was correct.

If she guessed correctly, she wanted to know what Pei Zhi wanted to do when he sent her out of the palace.

She had been thinking that Pei Shu had given her the fake death medicine, but she had forgotten that Pei Zhi also had one.

Pei Zhi gave her medicine and asked his brother to be a lobbyist. It was clear that he wanted her to leave the palace, but after that, he wanted to keep her close to him every night.

He really let her out, and then created a house like this full of spy agents.

Yu Tingwan really didn't understand. He always only followed his own ideas in doing things. He would marry whoever he wanted and kill whoever he wanted. How had he ever been so awkward and inconsistent?

She occasionally wondered if she had guessed wrong. In fact, everything her brother said was true.

Yu Tingwan looked at the woman in front of him and said, "Sister-in-law, does your Majesty really not know what my brother has done?"

Xie Xuan was stunned by this straightforward question and froze in place.

Her eyes were like a pool of spring water, filled with a hint of expectation, her cheeks were smiling, and her red lips pursed slightly nervously.

Seeing her like this, Xie Xuan felt for a moment that she had the heavy responsibility of answering questions. If she was vague, the people in front of her would be extremely disappointed.

Xie Xuan had a problem since she was a child, that is, she could not refuse the beauty's request, so she suffered a lot from Pingyang Hou.

She didn't have Yu Xiuyun's concentration. She almost spilled her words. She opened her mouth wide before she could react. She said "uh" twice on the spot and said with a guilty conscience: "I don't know."

There are many spies in this house, and no matter what Xie Xuan does, she would not dare to disobey the emperor's order and expose what he did to Marquis Pingyang without permission.

Before she came, she thought that the Queen wanted to see His Majesty, but she was too embarrassed to say something to her brother.

If Yu Tingwan said in front of her that he missed Pei Zhi, the matter would be much easier to handle.

However, Yu Tingwan didn't reveal the slightest thought, and even mentioned the word "Your Majesty" in a stiff tone.

Xie Xuan choked for a while, and both of them fell into silence.

The sister-in-law's reaction was expected, and Yu Tingwan just confirmed his guess once again through her expression.

Xie Xuan failed to answer this question seriously, so for the next question, out of compensation, she would at least tell more truth.

About that purse, she could finally ask.
