Chapter 590 What's so hard to think about?
Meeting Mo Jinchuan's gaze, Song Yanxi said, "If I were him, I would wish that Emperor Liang would die soon.
Why would he bother trying so hard to please a dying person? "
It sounds like it was done on purpose.
Mo Jinchuan frowned, "According to Xier, Wen Qi's request to the Emperor to marry Yingxue was just a cover?"
"It's hard to say." Song Yanxi pondered and said carefully: "Wen Qi has a strange personality and always acts unconventionally. Even Mr. Wu doesn't know the specific purpose of his trip.
As the daughter of the Emperor and Empress, if Princess Jiarou could marry into the Liang Kingdom, it would indeed be beneficial to the stability of relations between the two countries."
In the eyes of outsiders, Wu Jun, who had always been treated with courtesy by him, had long become his trusted and important minister.
In fact, it was not until the delegation had been traveling for a few days that Wu Jun learned that the "spring hunt" mentioned by Wen Qi was to go to Da'an to negotiate peace.
As for the marriage, I have never heard him mention it.
No one believed this person named Wen Qi.
Song Yanxi had never seen a person so suspicious.
There is only one thing that is certain at the moment.
There is no doubt that Zhuang Shihan and Wen Qi are old acquaintances.
And it is very likely that they are closely related.
Otherwise, she would not have rushed to negotiate a deal with them when she learned that the Liang State delegation was about to arrive in Beijing.
He even went so far as to proactively tell them Wen Qi's weaknesses.
Her request was simple.
Before all of Wen Qi's envoys left the capital, Mo Jinchuan wanted someone to protect her in secret, preferably never leaving her side.
When Song Yanxi asked the reason, she just said that she had made a mistake in her previous business and accidentally offended Wen Qi, and she was afraid that he would hold a grudge against her.
As for how he offended me, he didn't mention a word.
Wen Qi has a bad temper. Because he holds a grudge against Zhuang Shihan, he gathers women who look similar to her and tortures them in every way. This is understandable.
There was just one thing that Song Yanxi always found strange.
If the two of them only knew each other through business, how could a suspicious person like Wen Qi be honest with a friend in the business world?
Not to mention, Zhuang Shihan is a girl.
Wen Qi Ken was able to tell her the secret that would shake his position as crown prince, which meant that she was different from others to him.
Perhaps, Zhuang Shihan did not tell them the truth.
Song Yanxi couldn't help but frown and asked, "When the prince ordered people to investigate Wen Qi, did he find out whether he had any dealings with merchants in the border town?"
"Merchant?" Mo Jinchuan looked towards the door. "An Yi."
The next moment, An Yi's respectful voice was heard outside.
"Master, Prince Liang secretly traveled to a border town two years ago and stayed in a restaurant called Qingbai for seven days."
An Yi paused for a moment, then continued, "According to the shop owner, in addition to more than ten men living with them, there is also a masked woman who speaks with an accent that sounds like she's from the capital."
"Such important news, why did you tell it only today?"
"Master, calm down."
Feeling the tense atmosphere, Song Yanxi silently reminded: "Your Majesty, two years ago you were still recuperating in the palace."
At that time, he probably didn't have the mood to care whether there was any woman around Wen Qi.
Naturally, the people below did not dare to mention it in front of him.
An Yi was sweating for himself outside and was about to show up to apologize when he heard his master say, "For Xier's sake, this will not happen again."
"Yes, Master!"
An Yi said, then changed the subject and said, "Thank you, Mistress!"
Hearing the word "Madam", Song Yanxi almost choked on the tea in her mouth.
One by one, who taught them to speak like this?
Facing her somewhat embarrassed and annoyed gaze, Mo Jinchuan said ashamedly, "It's my fault. I didn't discipline my subordinates well enough.
When we get back later, I'll give him twenty military sticks to teach him a lesson."
Song Yanxi looked at him dimly without saying a word.
Mo Jinchuan asked tentatively, "What about the forty military sticks?"
An, who was hiding in the tree outside, trembled and almost fell down.
After forty military sticks, he will be unable to get out of bed for half a month, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Song Yanxi say, "Your Highness, why don't you just give him a quick death and save him from all this torture."
Mo Jinchuan: "..."
He was about to speak up for An Yi when he heard Song Yanxi say with disdain, "Your Majesty, as the master, doesn't want to lead by example, but instead blames the people below for not learning. How can this be justified?"
Mo Jinchuan coughed lightly, looking obviously embarrassed.
Sure enough, she still prefers the weak scholar's hypocritical style.
Not knowing what he was thinking, Song Yanxi only felt that his eyes were a little strange. She cleared her throat and asked, "Your Highness, do you think that the masked woman two years ago could have been Princess Shihan?"
Although this statement is a bit bold, it is not entirely without basis.
If she remembered correctly, Zhuang Shihan spent most of her time doing things other than her job during the two years she was in the border town.
The reason why Doctor Liu and others had a problem with her was largely because she left her post without permission.
It doesn't make sense that these old guys should do all the dirty work while the good reputation only goes to her.
As time went on, even Doctor Xu, who was always good-tempered, couldn't help but feel resentful.
Mo Jinchuan asked in a deep voice, "How long has Wen Qi been in the border town?"
An Yi: "Prince Liang left the Qingbai Restaurant because his entourage revealed their Liang accents, and they left that same day."
"How long did the woman stay?"
"Three days."
An Yi hesitated and said, "Master, there is one more thing I am not sure if I should tell you."
"speak."
"The restaurant owner said that the masked woman left in a hurry at daybreak.
Half an hour later, Prince Liang and his entourage hurriedly evacuated, without even having time to pack their luggage.
They had not been gone for a quarter of an hour when the border troops who had arrived after hearing the news surrounded the entire restaurant.
After saying that, An Yi took the initiative to say: "I will accept the punishment myself."
Mo Jinchuan's face darkened, "Stop."
After a rustling sound of leaves, An Yi appeared at the door.
He lowered his head, looking as if he couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Who could have imagined that the woman whose name had never been found would actually be Princess Shihan.
After all, at that time, she and Lin Tingfeng were deeply in love, and they were often seen together, making countless people envy their relationship.
But if Princess Shihan could get on board Prince Liang's big ship, how could she be willing to follow Lin Tingfeng without any status?
This is exactly what Song Yanxi found strange.
Zhuang Shihan is a competitive person. She always wants to do her best in everything, so naturally she wants to choose the best man.
There is a huge difference in status between Wen Qi and Lin Tingfeng.
Who would want to be a general's wife when there's a chance to be a crown princess?
Not to mention, at that time Lin Tingfeng had only made a verbal promise to her, and the position of the legal wife was still occupied.
What is there for Zhuang Shihan to be upset about?
Mo Jinchuan gave An Yi a look, and he decisively retreated and closed the door.
The next moment, Song Yanxi heard his voice outside the door, "I'm in a hurry, please show me the way, Miss Zhuzhi."
Zhuzhi: "Didn't the Dark Commander go there last time?"
As if she had thought of something, she suddenly realized and said, "Commander An, follow me. Please come this way."
Song Yanxi couldn't help but frown.
How can it be so mysterious?
What words could An Yi not want to hear?
