comeback [rebirth]

Summer rains come and go quickly.One second there was thunder and lightning, and the next second it rained and the sky cleared.

Cen Yuan saw that the rain had stopped and the sun was out, so he moved the stuffed bags back into the courtyard, prepared wine and snacks, and brought out the books in the study to dry in the sun.After all instructions were finished, he stretched lazily, got up from the bed, changed to the yard and lay down again, reading the idle book in his hand.

All the servants in the courtyard were dismissed by Cen Yuan. He flipped through the pages of the book, picked up a dried fruit from time to time, and was looking at it with interest, when Lou Yuanbai hurried in from the courtyard and quickly walked to his side: "Your Highness."

Cen Yuan waved his hand: "Move to the side to block my light."

Hearing this, Lou Yuanbai took a step aside from Shan Ruliu, and told Cen Yuan everything about the Exian people that Ting Wei had found out.

After listening, Cen Yuan raised his eyes from the storybook: "The clothes belong to them?"

"Your Highness has got the point." Lou Yuanbai said, "It's really not their own clothes. It is said that it was a gift from a woman they know in the neighboring village. It's just that when Ting Wei went to the neighboring village to ask, the woman But it has slipped into the water a few days ago and is gone."

It's a deja vu method.

Cen Yuan was thoughtful, and asked again: "What about Xu Peng's people?"

"I've been imprisoned in imperial prison." Lou Yuanbai said, "Just now His Majesty ordered Ting Wei to handle this matter with full authority."

Prison...

Cen Yuan raised his head and glanced at the sky, but suddenly his eyes were stabbed, and his eyes hurt so much that he almost burst into tears.

He quickly closed his eyes to block out the sunlight, and lowered his head slowly.

"Where's Xu Peng?" Cen Yuan said again after a while, "Do you admit it?"

"Of course he refuses to admit it." Lou Yuanbai said, "Before my subordinate came back, I heard that he had passed out in the imperial prison, and the interrogation will continue at night."

"That place..." Cen Yuan let out a long breath, looked calmly and said, "Ordinary people may not be able to save their lives just by suffering once, and even trained soldiers are not guaranteed to survive in that devil a place to spend a few days.”

Lou Yuanbai responded: "Ordinary people can't enter that place."

Cen Yuan didn't say anything for a long time, he didn't know if he was sighing in his heart, or he was recalling something.Lou Yuanbai looked at his face and asked tentatively: "Your Highness thinks that Xu Peng is innocent?"

Cen Yuan glanced at him, got up from the couch, and poured himself a glass of wine.

"I don't know much about the Exian people, and I don't understand their thoughts. If they didn't believe what the letter said, and sewed the letter back into their clothes in order to save themselves, it's not impossible." Cen Yuan Dao, "But if I were the person who wrote this letter, no matter what, as long as there was even a slight possibility, I would definitely not tolerate them leaving a clue. It could range from setting fire to their house, or at worst..."

After Cen Yuan finished drinking, he lightly loosened his fingers holding the wine cup, and the next second the wine cup hit the ground, cracking into pieces with a "crash".

"Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots."

Lou Yuanbai lowered his head and dared not speak.

The sky became too fast, and the sun that had been out for a long time disappeared at some point, and now there was a faint appearance of rain again.

Cen Yuan wiped his hands clean, and the next moment his face regained a relaxed expression, he called for someone to clean up the debris on the ground, and asked someone to bring two new wine glasses.

"Since people can still find this letter now, it means that this letter is for us to read." He said while pouring wine.

It was only then that Lou Yuanbai felt that the invisible heavy hammer was about to be withdrawn, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, before deciding to speak: "Then His Highness still suspects that Duan Xiang sent someone to do it?"

"Why does he have to do it himself?" Cen Yuan sneered, "He has a good son-in-law who is obedient and obedient."

Lou Yuanbai nodded to express his understanding, and then asked: "Then what should we do?"

"Eat, drink, and read the script." Cen Yuan handed one of the wine glasses to the other party, and then pressed one hand on the scroll, "Let's be happy and carefree, don't care about world affairs."

"what?"

Lou Yuanbai originally had a solemn face, with his ears pricked up, ready to wait for Cen Yuan's orders, but he didn't expect the other party to give such an answer.He was stunned, and he just took the wine glass that Cen Yuan handed him by reflex, and didn't drink it.

"Otherwise." Cen Yuan said, "If you want to investigate, then there is no way, you can check those people who are in business, check the whereabouts of Banshenghua, and check everyone in Xu's house. If you dug up a person who has nothing to do with the Duan family, you are unlucky, what awaits you is a dead body without a tongue."

Lou Yuanbai remained silent.

"Intrigues, you come and go." Cen Yuan lay back on the soft bed holding the scroll, "Today there is one Xu Peng, and tomorrow there will be another one. Today I can save one person, and there will be thousands of people standing in the future In front of me. Conversely, how many Xu Pengs will I use to pave the way?"

"Your Highness..."

"Even if it was me who was treated as a pawn today, I can only accept my fate." Cen Yuan covered the scroll on his face, "The sky in the capital is too dark. I, now hope that after the next year's crown, I will ask Father I will go to a place far away from the emperor. Thinking about this and that, I am really tired."

Maybe what Yan Xuan said that day was the correct answer, he didn't have to force himself to take care of other messy affairs in the court.

From beginning to end, his goal was only one person.

Lou Yuanbai didn't say yes or no, just said: "Your Highness, you are too idealistic."

The corner of Cen Yuan's lips under the scroll was pulled slightly, but he didn't speak.

Both of them were silent for a long time, Lou Yuanbai put the unused wine cup back on the low table, stood aside for a while before saying: "Recently, His Highness asked his subordinates to check so many things, and this subordinate thought it was because His Highness changed Got an idea."

Cen Yuan still smiled invisibly, but he thought of something because of this, so he asked: "By the way, I asked you to check on that palace lady Bi Ling before, how did it go?"

"There are results." Lou Yuanbai said, "The maid's surname is Yang, from Anze Town, Shuyang County. Eight years ago, the plague broke out in Liumu Town, also located in Shuyang County, and people in several nearby towns fled to escape. , came all the way to the capital. His Majesty was sympathetic to these people who were homeless, so he established a refuge in the suburbs of Beijing and sent officials to help with the work. Some of the orphans, if they were clean, were brought into the palace. This is Yang Biling one of them."

These things are actually information that Cen Yuan found out in his previous life, and he thought that people who had changed Jin'an Palace in this life would not use it.However, the fact that Bi Ling appeared in the palace was by no means accidental, so Lou Yuanbai was dispatched to "re-investigate" it.

He lazily hummed: "Who was Xia Miao in charge of arranging the palace maids that day?"

"It's Jinshang Palace."

Cen Yuan said: "Sure enough."

This time it was Lou Yuanbai who was a little surprised: "Your Highness knows?"

Cen Yuan didn't respond.

In his previous life, he already knew that Jin Shanggong had an affair with a scholar who already had a family outside the palace in his early years, and even gave birth to an illegitimate daughter, and that illegitimate daughter was working in Duan's mansion.

Facing Lou Yuanbai's question at this moment, he said after a moment of silence: "It's nothing, just sighing, it really is Shang Gong from the palace."

Lou Yuan gave a clear "Oh", glanced at Cen Yuan, and said cautiously: "His Highness ordered his subordinates to investigate this palace lady and monk palace. Why? If every new face has to be investigated one by one, will it be Some are too vegetative."

Cen Yuan took off the book on his face and glanced at the other party: "Just in case."

"Your Highness." Lou Yuanbai said, "Is there something wrong with your Highness that the subordinates don't know about?"

Hearing this, Cen Yuan's heart skipped a beat.He had already closed his eyes, but now he opened them suddenly, staring at the other party.

"Why do you ask?"

Lou Yuanbai seemed a little hesitant at first, but seeing Cen Yuan's eyes, he said again: "This subordinate bumped into another person when he was checking on that maid named Bi Ling."

Cen Yuan was completely awake at the moment, he sat up and asked, "Who?"

Lou Yuanbai: "Fu Jianxin."

Fu Jianxin?

Cen Yuan smacked the name in his heart.

As a bodyguard, it was impossible for Fu Jianxin to investigate a maid who temporarily appeared in the palace for no reason, and there was only one person who could instruct him.

——Why did Yan Xuan go to check Biling?

In a trance, a very absurd idea flashed through Cen Yuan's mind, but he threw it out in the blink of an eye because the possibility was too low.

He rubbed the book, thought for a while and thought: Could it be that Yan Xuan knew Bi Ling before?

But this assumption is obviously not valid, Bi Ling has never appeared in Jin'an Palace in this life, and Xia Miao that day, after returning to the side hall, Yan Xuan only had a face-to-face meeting with Bi Ling.

unless……

Cen Yuan asked: "When you went to Jin'an Palace to arrange staff, you were also stopped by Fu Jianxin, right?"

"Yes." Lou Yuanbai said, "At that time, Fu Jianxin said that he had already arranged manpower, and you also said that you don't need to worry about this matter, Your Highness, so I arranged these people to be near the Duan Mansion."

Cen Yuan thought, if this is the case, if the Duan family didn't know that the people in Jin'an Palace had already been replaced by Yan Xuan, and they still sent Bi Ling in, they would also bump into Yan Xuan's people, then Yan Xuan knew that there was someone It is not surprising that such a number one figure.

Although there are still doubts, it is already the most reasonable explanation at present.

Cen Yuan calmed down a bit, and asked, "Since we bumped into each other, then Fu Jianxin also knows that you are looking for Biling?"

"Yes." Lou Yuanbai lowered his head, "The subordinates are ineffective..."

Cen Yuan raised his hand, signaling him not to say more.

Since the other party is Yan Xuan, it's not a big deal.

The dark clouds that had been dull in the sky for a long time finally dissipated to the surroundings, and the sun once again covered the yard with a layer of warm yellow.

Lou Yuanbai had nothing else to report, so Cen Yuan stretched himself and waved him back.

And at this moment, a young servant rushed in from the courtyard door in a hurry.

"Your Highness!" the servant shouted, "Your Highness, there are people coming from the palace, and there is an order for you to pick them up!"

·

In the main hall, Cen Yuan knelt on the ground, quietly listening to Eunuch Rong's high-pitched voice as always:

"In the 23rd year of Ninghuan, on the Gengzi day of Xiajia Shenyue, Zhao said:
