Yang Shu wanted to follow him, but Mingwei pulled him back: "Don't worry about it. ()"

He glanced sideways: "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Mingwei looked around and lowered his voice: "Find a place to talk."

Yang Shu understood immediately: "Go to the back mountain."

The two of them didn't even eat anything, so they went to the back mountain in the dark.

Their whereabouts were not hidden from anyone, and soon spread to the ears of everyone in the Bolinghou Mansion.

Mrs. Lu was so excited that she raised her voice: "This third brother is really crazy! Going to a secluded place with a girl in the middle of the night, didn't you tell others clearly what you were going to do?"

Yang Xuan, the prince of Bolinghou, was displeased: "It's just dark, it's so late at night, don't speak so exaggeratedly!"

"Even if this is the case, it's not appropriate!" Mrs. Lu pretended to be worried, but unfortunately she didn't pretend to be worried. She became more and more excited, "I heard that the girl's family was involved in a rebellion before, and her father was beheaded and her uncle was exiled. Exile, seize one's position. It's really unseemly for my third brother to associate with such a person. People who don't know it think that our Yang family has associates with the conspirators! Mr. Hou, you can't ignore it."

Marquis Boling frowned when he heard this: "Is that girl really a prisoner?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Lu became more and more excited, "That means His Majesty is merciful. If it were the former dynasty, I'm afraid she would still be in the Jiaofang Division now!"

The second young master, Yang Jun, didn't care: "Isn't she just a woman? My sister-in-law takes her too seriously. As long as he doesn't marry him, what does his low status matter? It's just for fun."

Mrs. Lu hurriedly said: "I'm afraid he is not just playing around. He met this girl when he was on business in Dongning. I heard that he protected her all the way and even went to His Majesty to beg for mercy. Since he returned to Beijing, Instead of going to those romantic places, he has close contact with this girl. This is too unusual. What if he really wants to marry that girl?"

When Mrs. Boling Hou heard this, she became really worried: "It's a bit unusual for the third child to be like this. Mr. Hou, how about we talk to the noble concubine? He is not young anymore, and it is hard to keep delaying the marriage. , those who don’t know think we are not doing our best!”

Bo Linghou said: "We can't talk about his marriage!"

"His last name is Yang." Mrs. Hou said, "Of course the imperial concubine must have a say in this selection, but aren't we the ones who are in charge of him?"

Marquis Boling thought about it and said, "Okay, you can go into the palace later."

Ms. Lu was secretly happy, thinking about returning to her parents' home after the ceremony.

……

When the two of them arrived at the back mountain, it was already dark.

Yang Shu pushed open the courtyard door and fumbled to light the lamp.

When the lights came on, he suddenly saw a shadow sitting in the corner, which made him tremble. Fortunately, he could see the other person's appearance clearly in time.

"What are you doing sitting there? I'm scared to death!"

Ning Xiu sat cross-legged, with the piano case in front of him, his hands resting on the strings, but did not move.

He looked up and uttered two words: "Visualize."

"...I'm sick!" Yang Shu muttered, sat down, and waved outside, "Come in."

Mingwei entered the room and saluted Ning Xiu: "Sir."

In front of Ning Xiu, she was always polite and courteous.

Ning Xiu nodded and continued to stare at his Qin and meditate - or it could be called in a daze.

"Tell me, what the **** did you do?" Yang Shu asked.

Mingwei looked at Ning Xiu and thought that although he was harsh in his words, he really trusted this senior brother wholeheartedly, so he said, "There is one thing you probably don't know yet."

"What?" Yang Shu carelessly sorted out the scattered cups on the table.

"The emperor suspects that you are a demon star."

"Zheng——"

"Click!"

In the former, Ning Xiu let go and plucked the strings. In the latter case, Yang Shu crushed a cup.

"What's going on?" Ning Xiu stood up and walked to them.

Mingwei repeated Xuanfei's words: "...I read the horoscope, and it's exactly the same as what you wrote to me."

Ning Xiu looked very subtle and asked him: "Why did you give her the horoscope?"

The look in his eyes was so funny. Yang Shu was originally upset by the news, but was suddenly brought back to reality by him. He said angrily: "Get married! Can it be done?" When was it? Is it possible? Focus on the key points?

"Really?"

Yang Shu didn't want to pay attention to him and asked Mingwei: "So you encourage Xuanfei to cause trouble?"

"Yes." Mingwei said, "If things get serious, even if the emperor wants to take action against you, he will have to wait until the limelight has passed."

Yang Shu's expression flickered on and off under the light.

Mingwei sighed silently, took his hand, pulled out a hairpin, and picked out the broken porcelain embedded in his palm.

While choosing, she said: "Judging from the emperor's performance, your previous question already has an answer."

Yang Shu was silent, listening to her continue: "If you were really his illegitimate son, even if you were indeed a demon star, he wouldn't behave like this."

Yang Shu lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

He found himself unhappy. In other words, no matter what the outcome is, he will not be happy.

If he is the emperor's illegitimate son, it means that Lu is right, he is a bastard.

And if he is not, is not close to the Yang family, and has nothing to do with the emperor, even if the imperial concubine is his biological mother, she will now become someone else's concubine. He was really just alone.

He asked softly: "Then, how should we explain my grandmother's last words?"

"I don't know." Mingwei shook his head, "Actually, I still have a question that I can't figure out. Why is the emperor so easy to be suspicious of you? I don't think you deserve his respect. Imagine that the emperor suddenly Knowing that a certain minister may be the reincarnation of a demon star, and that he can easily control this minister, what will he do?"

Ning Xiu answered: "Just wait and see what happens."

Mingwei nodded in agreement: "Even if I go further, I will no longer favor you, or slowly take back my authority. But he didn't mention it. Instead, he secretly sent the horoscope and asked Master Yi to do the calculation secretly. He was too cautious. , seems to be afraid of something."

Ning Xiu’s expression changed. He wanted to say something, but stopped himself.

After picking out the broken porcelain, Mingwei tore off a handkerchief and tied the wound: "My intuition tells me that there is something fishy here."

It's a pity that Yang Shu himself doesn't know anything about it, let alone her.

He was even a little sad knowing that the emperor's attitude towards him had changed~IndoMTL.com~.

How did his grandmother's words before her death affect him? Although there was resentment in his heart, he could not help but secretly imagine the possibility that the emperor was his biological father. The emperor was really kind to him, even the prince was not as good as him.

The three of them sat in silence for a while, then Mingwei suddenly said: "Sir."

Ning Xiu responded.

"I reviewed this matter from the beginning, and I feel that the key lies with the eldest princess. If he is not the emperor's illegitimate son, why did the eldest princess leave such last words? How could there be such a thing as forcing a cuckold on his son? Since sir, you have already started investigating, would you like to pay more attention to this aspect?"

Ning Xiu said: "Since we need to investigate, of course we must investigate all aspects."

Mingwei nodded and looked at Yang Shu: "There is nothing we can do about other things at the moment. There is something you can still do to help."

"What?"

Ming smiled and said: "Is it time to show your true horoscope?"
