Nangong Yue took the letter, opened it hurriedly, and read it all at once.

She was silent for a moment and asked: "How is the official young master doing now?"

Xiaosi replied: "Young Master is fine."

Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt uneasy after thinking about it, and then asked: "Is there any way for you to see your young master?"

Xiao Si nodded silently.

Nangong Yue turned to Baihui and said: "Baihui, go to my pharmacy and get two small porcelain vases, one with bamboo leaves and one with plum blossoms."

"Yes, Crown Princess."

The flowers hurried away and came back in a hurry.

Nangong Yue signaled Baihui to hand the things to Xiaosi, and said solemnly: "The one with plum blossoms is the heart-protecting pill, and the one with bamboo leaves is the poison-avoiding pill. After you see your young master, Give these two things to him. Since someone has set up such a trap, there may be some tricks up his sleeve. After all, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is no better than the An Yi Hou Mansion, so I hope you can tell the young master to be careful."

Guan Yubai has a weak body and is now behind bars. For him, heart-protecting pills and poison-avoiding medicines are the most practical.

Xiaosi cupped his hands gratefully and said: "Thank you very much!"

Xiao Si came here just to deliver a letter. After the letter was delivered, he left in a hurry. He jumped out of the window as neatly as when he came, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Nangong Yue handed the letter to Zhu Xing. After he read it, he threw it into the brazier and watched it burn to ashes in the blink of an eye. There was silence in the study...

Nangong Yue broke the silence and calmly ordered: "Go and do it..."

"Yes, Crown Princess!"

Zhu Xing retreated, but Nangong Yue did not go back immediately, but sat blankly in the study.

Baihui has been with her all the time. Although Baihui didn't see what was written in the letter, she knew that the young master should be fine seeing that Xiaosi still had time to deliver the letter. However, it is not always a good thing to be locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

After a long time, Nangong Yue stood up and said: "Let's go back..."

Nangong Yue took Baihui back to Fufengyuan with a lot of worries.

Xiao Fei was no longer in the banquet, and Que'er reported back that the eldest girl had borrowed her small study to paint on a whim.

Nangong Yue sat down on the Luohan bed and hugged Xiaobai, the cat that came over to nuzzle her, looking a little dazed.

What happened today, it is obvious that Guan Yubai deliberately put himself in danger. Although Guan Yubai is unparalleled in wit, he is only one person after all. No matter how well arranged, it is impossible in today's chaotic situation. Nothing dangerous.

Does Guan Yubai want to put himself to death and survive?

Nangong Yue has known Guan Yubai for several years, and she has received guidance and help from him many times. He is both a teacher and a friend, so how could she not be worried about him.

"Sister-in-law." After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Fei's cold voice interrupted Nangong Yue's thoughts. She looked up and saw Xiao Fei walking out of the small study room with a hint of joy on her face: "I just said I drew a picture of a pine tree, please help me evaluate it..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Fei noticed that something was wrong with Nangong Yue's expression. She hesitated and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you busy with? How about I go back first..." Go back?

"Sister Fei, I'm fine." Nangong Yue shook her head, stood up and took Xiao Fei's arm, saying, "You just said you drew a picture of an old pine? Then I want to take a good look."

Xiao Fei always felt that something was wrong, but since she said so, she didn't ask any more questions. The two held hands and entered the small study together.

There is a large piece of drawing paper spread out on the desk. The ink on the drawing is not yet dry, and it still smells of ink, which shows that it has just been completed.

Nangong Yue stood behind the bookcase and admired it carefully. Xiao Fei's painting of an old pine tree is of an old pine growing sideways next to a rock. The old trunk is bent like a hornet, with dense pine needles and entwined wild vines. The old pine and the rock are dependent on each other, the former is sharp and the latter is gentle, with different shades. Nangong Yue couldn't help but secretly praise that it was not easy for Xiao Fei to create such a painting at her age.

Like a good student, Xiao Fei anxiously waited for Nangong Yue's comments.

Nangong Yue looked at it carefully for a moment, smiled and praised: "This painting has an excellent grasp of the shades of brush and ink. It can be seen that you have worked hard."

Xiao Fei's cheeks were slightly red, looking a little shy.

Nangong Yue said slowly: "However, in addition to pen and ink, composition is also important in painting. Although this painting is good, it still lacks some dexterity in composition."

Xiao Fei stared at the painting thoughtfully for a while and said, "I hope my sister-in-law will teach me."

Nangong Yue did not answer directly, but said: "There is an ancient poem saying: 'There are pine trees on Tingting Mountain, and there is a stroke in Sese Valley. The sound of the wind is so strong, and the pine branches are so strong. The frost is miserable, but the whole year is always upright. Isn't it not suffering from it? Ning Han, pines and cypresses have their own nature'..."

As Xiao Fei listened, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "I understand! This painting is missing some snow... If more snow is added to the pine, it will better show the unbending nature of the pine tree. It's wonderful!" She couldn't help feeling a little in her heart, thinking: My sister-in-law is indeed the legitimate daughter of a famous family. She is not only good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is also good at managing the family, knows right from wrong, and understands justice. She doesn't know what happened to her elder brother. With good luck, I married my sister-in-law! ...When my eldest brother comes back, I have to remind him to cherish blessings.

Thinking about it, she raised her head and was about to speak when she saw Nangong Yue looking out the window in a daze.

"Sister-in-law?"

Xiao Fei called out, and Nangong Yue suddenly came back to her senses and said sheepishly: "Sister Fei, I'm sorry, I got a little distracted."

Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue's expression and speculated: "Sister-in-law, are you worried about eldest brother?" Counting the days, eldest brother has been away from the royal capital for a while, and it is almost the New Year and he will not come back. No wonder sister-in-law is worried.

Xiao Fei couldn't help frowning and said: "Sister-in-law, has my eldest brother sent you a letter home? Even if he has the emperor's life, he should send a letter back to say that he is safe!" Her eldest brother is still not doing things well. reliable! "Sister-in-law, when your eldest brother comes back, you have to talk to him... No, I'll do it!"

Looking at Xiao Fei's serious look, Nangong Yue was a little moved and said: "Sister Fei, you misunderstood, it has nothing to do with your elder brother." After a pause, she hesitated and explained cryptically. He said, "A friend of mine has been in some trouble recently, and I'm a little worried."

This friend must be quite important to my sister-in-law... Although Xiao Fei is naive, she is still a girl from the royal palace. She has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she knows only a little about the affairs of the court. I think of the recent incident in the royal capital because of the Minister of War. She was thoughtful about the uproar surrounding the case and the fact that her sister-in-law had been called away just now.

Xiao Fei didn't know how to comfort people. After thinking about it, she said to Nangong Yue in a stiff tone: "Sister-in-law, I recently read "Zengguang Xianwen" again and I have some insights. For example,' The bright moon in the five lakes is left, and there is no need to worry about having nowhere to put the golden hook. 'There is a time and a place in life, but there is no time in life. Don't ask for it. It is difficult to avoid dangerous places on the road, and you will not be free in the end.' , There is a bright future in another village'. You might as well let your friends read it when they have time! When you are in different moods, even the same book will have different insights..."

Listening to Xiao Fei's endless talk, Nangong Yue did not feel bored. Instead, there was a smile in her eyes and she said, "Thank you, Sister Fei."

Xiao Fei smiled shyly, and her cold face softened instantly.

Nangong Yue took a breath and tried to calm down. She looked at the painting on the desk and said, "Sister Fei, what you just said is right. Adding Can Xue will indeed improve the artistic conception of the painting. Many."

Xiao Fei said impatiently: "Then let me try."

Xiao Fei adjusted the ink, then looked at the painting attentively for a while, and then started to draw. She was already confident, so she started writing with energy, light ink, dyeing, whitening... just a cup of tea, she Then he put away the pen and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Nangong Yue praised from the side: "A hundred trees are as long as they are, and they survive frost and snow without withering."

Although Xiao Fei only added residual snow on the branches and the ground, literati have used the cold season as a metaphor for troubled times since ancient times, and pines and cypresses as a metaphor for gentlemen. The originally monotonous pine trees now have a faint noble spirit of a gentleman in troubled times, and the whole painting The artistic conception suddenly became a little higher.

Xiao Fei was also very satisfied and said with joy: "Sister-in-law, this is the best painting I have painted in recent years."

"Then why not frame it and hang it in your boudoir." Nangong Yue suggested.

When her painting was approved by Nangong Yue, the joy in Xiao Fei's eyebrows increased and she nodded hurriedly.

So, after the ink dried, Nangong Yue called Lily and asked her to take it to Gu Mo Xuan for framing.

Xiao Fei knew that Nangong Yue was in a bad mood, so she talked with her for a long time, but Xiao Fei was not a talkative person, so she talked and finally talked about some books she had read. , but no matter what she said, Nangong Yue could always respond fluently, which made Xiao Fei feel more and more that this sister-in-law was really knowledgeable and full of admiration.

It wasn't until the two of them had dinner together that Xiao Fei returned to her yard.

Nangong Yue returned to the small study. She sat behind the desk and thought for a moment. Then she called Baihui in and asked, "Have you been able to live in peace in the house recently?"

Baihui reported back: "Zhu Xing is suppressing the outer courtyard, but in the inner house, a few women secretly bit their ears in the past two days. They were afraid that our house would also be involved, and An Niang would find out, and they were fined for a month. Monthly money."

The outer courtyard is full of Xiao Yi's people, so there is no need to worry. On the other hand, in the inner house, there are still more than half of the "old people" from the past. It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, these people will feel a little uncomfortable.

"Tell An Niang that now that the prince is away, I am the only woman in the palace. Let them all live in peace. If they continue to discuss the government in an arbitrary manner, they will all be sold out. When the time comes, don't say that I won't give. The face of the 'old man' in the palace. From today on, all banquets will be declined. I am not feeling well, so I will not see guests. An Niang is too soft-tempered, so you can go and help her for the time being."

Baihui responded: "Yes! Crown Princess."

The Zhennan Palace has a high position of power. If the emperor's fire continues, there may be some people in the capital who "sickly seek medical treatment", just like the Guangping Marquis Palace. The most important thing for Zhennan Palace at present is to protect itself. Only by hiding behind others can some things be done without anyone noticing...

Nangong Yue waved, and Baihui followed the order and left.

After some vigorous rectification, the servants of Zhennan Palace immediately felt much more at ease. After all, for them, the emperor is too far away. If they accidentally make the imperial concubine unhappy, their wealth and life will be at stake. The imperial concubine was kind-hearted and would give out more money every time of the year. There were not many masters in the palace, so she really had a lot of leisure. If she was sold elsewhere, she would have to be separated from her family, which would really outweigh the gains. Although the Crown Princess has a good temper, she has always been one of a kind. If she wants to sell them, no one can plead for mercy.

The mansion was settled, but the situation outside was a bit more chaotic. In just a few days, several courtiers were implicated one after another. The anxious Madam Guangping Hou went to Nangong Mansion again. , solemnly proposed marriage to Nangong Lin, but according to Baihui's report, her uncle Nangong Qin did not accept the offer.

The atmosphere in the court hall was trembling, everyone was in danger, and everyone was speculating in their minds about who would be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment or the imperial edict next.

There was no news about Guan Yubai who was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Only Zhu Xing knew that he was fine for the time being. The emperor was very cautious this time. None of the officials who were ordered to be imprisoned were There was no torture, and we were still waiting for the outcome of the three-party trial.

Nangong Yue was relieved after hearing this.

In any case, the emperor's attitude bought them more time. I wonder if this was what Guan Yubai expected.

"The Crown Princess."

At this time, Baihui lifted the door curtain, walked in, and reported respectfully: "Marquis Weiyuan was impeached at court this morning. The emperor ordered him to return to his residence to defend himself and cooperate with the three-party trial."

Nangong Yue nodded calmly.

Lily, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but exclaimed: "Marquis Weiyuan is a minister who has made great contributions to quelling the Jiangnan rebellion today!"

"It is said that Marquis Weiyuan was deprived of military power by the emperor and was trapped in a small area in the royal capital. He was depressed and frustrated, so he secretly hated the emperor and colluded with the previous dynasty..." Baihui continued, "Now outside People are panicking, and there are rumors. Many people are saying that this time the emperor should want to eradicate the roots and completely eliminate the remnants of the previous dynasty... If this continues, I am afraid that the 'Yuwang Rebellion' of the late emperor will be repeated!"

Speaking of this "King Yu's Rebellion", probably no one in Dayu knows about it.

Prince Yu, whose real name was Lei Tianhu, was a fierce general under the late emperor, and he and the late emperor were sworn brothers who swore an oath to Tian Meng. Decades ago, he accompanied the late emperor in the north and south, and he was a great warrior. At that time, the late emperor once said that with Lei Tianhu, he would be even more powerful than a tiger. Later, the late emperor overthrew the decadent previous dynasty, established the Dayu Dynasty, and named Lei Tianhu King Yu...

The "yu" of King Yu is the wealth of great wealth.

It can be seen that the late emperor at that time was very fond of King Yu Lei Tianhu. However, as time went by, the late emperor quelled the rebellions of all parties and stabilized the country. Everyone praised King Yu's military exploits. This " The word "Yu" became a thorn in the late emperor's heart.

The late emperor released his military power over a glass of wine, turning him into an idle prince, which also made King Yu dissatisfied. In the end, King Yu colluded with the Murong family of the previous dynasty, and united most of the generals with the intention of overthrowing the Dayu Dynasty. If it weren't for Lao Zhennan The king led his troops to rescue the siege in time, and now this great wealth may no longer exist.

After King Yu was captured, the late emperor not only slaughtered King Yu's entire family, but also ruthlessly "implicated ten clans", including Prince Yu's friends and disciples.

Because of the case of King Yu, many people were involved, and it was the bloodiest case since the establishment of the Dayu Dynasty. Afterwards, the word "King Yu" became taboo, and the late emperor did not even allow historians to record it.

It's just that the emperor didn't allow official history to be written, but he couldn't stop unofficial history, let alone the public opinion.

During the "King Yu's Rebellion", Jinshang was still just the prince, but he also witnessed this **** battle, which left an indelible mark on his heart. It can be said that Jinshang had deep feelings for the remnants of the previous dynasty. The fear started from this "Yuwang Rebellion"!

And this thorn is now being deliberately exploited by those who are interested.

At this time, not only the Zhennan Palace was discussing Prince Yu, but the Third Prince's Palace on the other side of the capital was also discussing this topic.

"Your Highness, the topic of the 'Yuwang Rebellion' has been spread in the capital now!" Xiao Lizi respectfully reported.

Han Lingfu nodded with satisfaction, with a hint of strategizing pride on his face. I think someone will soon mention Prince Yu to his father. Once the father thinks that Guan Yubai is the second King Yu, he will no longer be merciful!

After finishing the confinement, Zhang Yi, who was able to get out of bed and walk around, poured Han Lingfu a cup of hot tea with his own hands, observed his expression, and said with a smile: "It seems that An Yi Hou Guanyu Bai is doomed this time! ”

Han Lingfu curled his lips and said, "Yes, Guan Yubai will definitely not be able to turn around. I have already discussed it with Marquis Pingyang. In a few days, I will go to my father to ask for someone to take over the vassal administration. By then, the peace talks with Baiyue will proceed smoothly."

As he spoke, Han Lingfu's eyes looked a little disdainful.

I don’t know what Guan Yubai is thinking in his heart. According to Han Lingfu’s opinion, the peace talks with Baiyue should have been negotiated neatly and neatly, and then concluded. Procrastinating like this now is a waste of time and loses the dignity of a prosperous and powerful country.

However, the father remained silent and allowed Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi to mess around, making it hard for him to say anything.

"Your Highness is truly wise and powerful, and there are no omissions left out!" Bai Yi complimented with a smile and offered the hot tea in his hand to Han Lingfu.

She had never thought of implicating Shangguan Yubai, but she didn't expect that Han Lingfu would set up such a careful plan. She couldn't help Guan Yubai even if she wanted to. After all, she is from Baiyue, and she can sacrifice everything for the eldest prince, even her love.

Although she couldn't bear to see Guan Yubai in jail, she was helpless. Guan Yubai's temperament was too aloof and aloof. No matter how many times she showed kindness to him, he would not do anything. If she couldn't move, then she would have no choice but to completely break his wings and save his life... In this way, he would no longer be able to ignore her existence! She wanted him to depend on her, rely on her, and let him stay by her side forever!

Only in this way can she get him.

A flash of determination flashed in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were still slightly raised as if nothing had happened, with a faint smile.

Han Lingfu took a sip of hot tea and felt relieved: Zhang Yi is still smart and knowledgeable, if Xiaoer can also... Thinking of Bai Muxiao, Han Lingfu, who was originally hesitant about his ambition, darkened again.

Chang Yi half-closed his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Han Lingfu with pretense of hesitation: "Your Highness, Cheng Yi has an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

Han Lingfu smiled slightly and said in an easy-going manner: "Zhang Yi, what can't you and I say?"

"Your Highness, do you think you should take this opportunity to involve that Xiao Yi?" There was a smile on the beautiful little face in the clothes, but there was a chill in his eyes.

The humiliation and embarrassment Xiao Yi brought her will never be forgotten in her life.

There is an old saying in Dayu: "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!" It seems that he can make Xiao Yi die without a burial place in less than ten years!

Shu Yi smoothed his sleeves and said softly: "Your Highness, if King Zhennan colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty..." Once King Zhennan was charged with colluding with the previous dynasty, then the prince of Zhennan, Xiao Yi, Just don’t think about staying out of it!

"This plan is not feasible." Unexpectedly, Han Lingfu shook his head and explained, "Back then, after the former emperor Murong Jie was forced to commit suicide in the palace, some remnants of the previous dynasty still went south and helped the false emperor ascend the throne in Lin'an, Jiangnan. . Later, the old Zhennan King led an army to attack Lin'an, and personally cut off the head of the false emperor and presented it to the imperial grandfather. After that, the remnants of the previous dynasty and the Zhennan Palace swore to each other. If they were said to be colluding with each other, I’m afraid my father won’t believe it. If we don’t do it right, it will be self-defeating and ruin our plan this time.”

Zhen Yi frowned slightly. After all, she was not from Dayu, so she didn't know that Zhennan Palace still had such grudges with the previous dynasty.

"In this case, Xiao Yi is really cheap." Zhang Yi sighed with pity.

Han Lingfu couldn't help but remember that Bai Muxiao once told him that Guanyu Bai and Xiao Yi seemed to have a close relationship. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Unless..."

"Your Highness, unless what?" Zhang Yi asked eagerly, suppressing the renewed fire in his heart.

But Han Lingfu stopped talking and lowered his eyes in thought. If what Xiaoer said is true, then maybe he can think of a way to use Guan Yubai to get Xiao Yi into the game...

This matter needs to be carefully planned, as well as his eldest brother.

The corners of Han Lingfu's lips curved slightly, revealing a smile that was determined to win.

However, the official language they were talking about was not in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment at this time, but in the emperor's palace book.

Wearing plain clothes, Guan Yubai had his hair tied with a wooden hairpin. Although he had been in prison for nearly ten days, he did not look messy at all. He looked as calm as if he had just come out of his own house. Calm.

The emperor looked at Guan Yubai standing in front of him and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He knew that he had failed the loyal official family. After Guanyu Bai Fuling returned to the royal capital, he tried his best to make up for it. After a long time, they had been able to complement each other. Unexpectedly, there was another incident. Such a thing made him not know what to do.

"Yubai." The emperor said solemnly, "Do you hate me?"

Guan Yubai said calmly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, so there is nothing to hate."

The emperor looked at him inquiringly, his eyes full of doubts.

"Your Majesty." Guan Yubai's expression remained calm as he said, "The Guan family case has been vindicated, and my father has also entered the famous ministers' pavilion. For me, there is nothing unsatisfactory. Now that I have gone to the battlefield, no matter what Whether you are a father or a minister, you have already had the awareness of being wrapped in horse leather. Whether you are defeated by Xirong or defeated by a traitor, it is actually the same. For a general, defeat is defeat."

The emperor was silent for a long time, his face suddenly became stern, and he said: "What about now? You say, 'Thunder, rain, and dew are all my kindness,' but what are you doing behind your back?" He slammed the desk and said, " Can you collude with the Murong family to overthrow Dayu?"

Guan Yubai didn't show any timidity at all, and still said unhurriedly: "Father finally got into the Mingchen Pavilion. I don't want his name to be stained in the slightest again, and Murong The collusion between the two is not worth it to me. I am a general, and I have made every effort on the battlefield. I will not do anything that is not worth it."

Guan Yubai did not defend himself blindly, but purely based on interests, it moved the emperor's heart.

That's right.

Guan Ruyan died in the name of treason, and he finally got vindicated. If Guan Yubai went to help the Murong family again, even if he got the "merit of following the dragon" in the end, the official family was full of loyal Qing people. The name is not guaranteed.

Guan Yubai had been paying attention to the emperor's expression. Seeing that he had already believed his words, he continued in a clear tone: "Your Majesty, first Chen Shangshu, then the ministers, and other officials have been imprisoned for this. "Xian, don't you think it's a little strange?"

The emperor had a thought in his mind and asked expressionlessly: "What do you mean by this?"

"Chen Shangshu was the main fighting faction when dealing with Xirong, Beidi and the Southern Barbarians. Even in this peace negotiation, he insisted that the emperor not make concessions to the Xirong; General Mu had been in Southern Xinjiang for ten years and had many battles with the Southern Barbarians. In the first battle, when the Nanman War just started, he took the lead in the battle. After the Baiyue envoys entered the royal capital, they petitioned the emperor to refuse the peace negotiation; and Chen Shilang..."

Guan Yubai spoke slowly, which made the emperor more and more frightened as he listened.

What he didn’t expect was that in these days, half of the officials he ordered to conduct thorough investigations were actually militants...

"...As for me, I am doing the errands assigned by the emperor these days."

Guan Yubai did not continue speaking, but looked at the emperor calmly.

Seeing that the emperor's face was turning green and white, he finally couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and walked back and forth a few times, and suddenly said: "Marquis An Yi, do you think that someone in the court is colluding with Baiyue, and is deliberately trying to collude with Baiyue?" Trapping you?...Isn’t this your sophistry?"

"Your Majesty, since there are doubts about my body, it is really inconvenient for me to explain more." Guan Yubai said softly, "I just hope that your Majesty will not make a conclusion for the time being. As long as you wait... someone will be patient." Can’t stop.”

The emperor was silent, seeming to be thinking seriously about Guan Yubai's suggestion.

Guan Yubai lowered his eyes slightly. The emperor was indecisive and had a soft ear. It was not difficult for Guan Yubai to persuade him.

The difficulty is more about the arrangement before and after...

Nothing can go wrong.
