Chapter 144 Yanzhou
Seeing this, Baili Feng immediately went around and entered the alley on the side.
Soon, a woman dressed like a eunuch also walked in, looking around.
Seeing her, Baili Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you dressed like this?"
Xian Yin took off the eunuch's clothes and threw them on the ground, revealing her original plain skirt, and said with a light look in her eyes: "Of course, to see your old father."
"How is he? How long can he... last?"
"I don't know, I can only live one day at a time."
"Xian Yin, you and I..." Baili Feng paused, looking at the familiar face opposite, his heart ached, "You and I are the only ones in the world who are of the same mind."
Both of us have lost our loved ones.
Both of us are running for justice.
Xian Yin laughed mockingly.
"I have been hiding for many years, hiding my identity, isn't it for this?"
Before the whole family of Jin Wang's mansion was beheaded, she was lucky enough to leave through the secret passage. In fact, the old emperor had already known about it at that time, and for some reason he didn't tie her up.
In the past years,
she had been asking for news about the unjust case, and she would go forward at all costs if there was any movement. Finally, God was merciful and she learned about the news of the maid next to Concubine Rong Gui.
That maid was the direct witness who exposed the affair between Concubine Rong Gui and Jin Wang.
She was sold to the palace to serve as a servant because she was looked down upon by her family. She was promoted to be the head aunt by Concubine Rong Guifei's recognition. However, after Concubine Rong Guifei's accident, she was lucky enough to survive when all the palace maids in Jing'an Palace were punished. She
also became the wife of Guo Fei, the inspector of Yanzhou.
As a woman, Xianyin could not intervene in this matter directly, so she asked Lu Huaihe for help.
Baili Feng sighed.
"I hope my father can live to see the truth come out."
He was the one who ordered the death of his mother, and he should also clear her name.
This is the knot in Baili Feng's heart that must be untied.
Otherwise, he would not mind digging up the imperial tomb with evil intentions and exposing the corpse to everyone!
Xian Yin did not answer, but looked in the direction of Yanzhou with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
The abuse carried by the Jin Palace was too heavy.
She could not bear it.
Since leaving the capital, the carriage drove all the way south.
In order not to reveal his identity, Su He dressed himself up as a chubby man, and Pei Xia followed him and became a little follower with pockmarks on his face.
Qingyun looked at the two of them and asked sincerely: "Even if I could meet the Lord on the road, I don't think he would want to recognize me."
"No way, the Lord must miss Madam very much, and he might just rush up to you!"
"The Lord is calm and won't do that." Qingyun corrected.
Pei Xia retorted: "Two people in love don't care about their temperaments. It's best to express their feelings in time!"
"I don't think so. Temperament can't be changed..."
Su He leaned against the inner wall to take a nap. Hearing the two of them talking, he couldn't help but imagine the scene of meeting Lu Huaihe again.
When and where will we meet again? We
have arrived at the territory of Yanzhou.
Although this place is not as prosperous as the capital, it is also one of the best places in the area, and the cultural customs and customs there are unique and charming.
Qingyun found an inn with the best business to rest, and the few people finally settled down after a bumpy journey.
Pei Xia was afraid that Su He would be hungry, so he asked the waiter to serve the meal, and Qingyun went out for a stroll, actually looking for clues about Lu Huaihe.
Su He stood in front of the window and looked down. The scene of Lu Huaihe's travels appeared in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but pierce.
According to reliable news, he disappeared near Yanzhou. But Yanzhou City is not small, and looking for a person is like looking for a needle in the sea. It
was not until midnight that Qingyun came back quietly.
Su He couldn't take a rest and hurriedly asked him to tell the news he found out.
"I heard that after investigating the Qingji Silver case, the lord came to Yanzhou for a trip, and they got along well after getting acquainted with Yanzhou patrolman Guo Fei. As for his disappearance, no one can explain it clearly."
Su He stared: "He got acquainted with Guo Fei in order to find the palace maid beside Concubine Rong Gui. As long as she is there, it is not difficult to overturn the case. The strange thing is that he has been to so many places and investigated so many cases along the way, and everything was fine, but there was no news in Yanzhou. This matter must be related to Guo Fei."
Qingyun also said: "Indeed. I have also found out something, which may be related to state affairs."
"What is it?"
"Guo Jie has returned to the capital."
When he heard that the old emperor might die, he was anxious to return to the capital. What was he thinking? Didn't he understand?
"Madam, there is a letter here!"
When Pei Xia was packing, she found a letter in her bag. The handwriting seemed to be from the eldest princess.
Su He took it and looked at it. His pupils narrowed slightly and he was shocked.
So.
Many years ago, at the New Year's Day banquet, the emperor and his ministers enjoyed themselves together.
Guo Jie, who had been guarding the border, was also drunk at the banquet. He had always liked Rong Guifei, who was always favored at that time, but due to the difference in status, he could only look at her from afar.
At that time, Queen Guo and Rong Guifei were incompatible. She was just about to get rid of Rong Guifei, and she saw the drunk Guo Jie and had an idea. After all, he was his own brother, and he would not suffer any loss if the good things were not given to outsiders.
Empress Guo pretended to talk to Concubine Rong and put sleeping incense in her tea. After she fainted from taking it, she called the drunk Guo Jie and locked him in the palace, and she personally guarded outside the palace door.
The two unconscious people naturally had skin-to-skin contact.
Afterwards, Guo Jie fled the scene. Empress Guo took the drunken Prince Jin to a corner under the pretext of the Crown Prince questioning him. After he fainted, she carried him to Jing'an Palace, took off his clothes, and put him on Concubine Rong's bed.
Then the palace maid called the emperor, who was furious and executed Concubine Rong and the entire family of Prince Jin.
Empress Guo killed two birds with one stone. Not only did she cause Concubine Rong to die, but she also caused the Second Prince, who was highly regarded by the Emperor, to become deposed and unpopular.
After reading line by line, Su He's heart could not calm down for a long time.
So this is why the princess disliked Empress Guo?
So many years have passed, the corpse has long been frozen, but the case has never been cleared.
The princess alone, even if she knew the truth, could not change anything.
But he wrote the truth in the letter and told her?
Su He suddenly understood.
She did not write it for herself, but for Lu Huaihe.
If there is a glimmer of hope, the case will naturally be solved, otherwise, it will be buried together.
Su He closed his eyes and put the letter away, and could not sleep all night.
The next day.
Su He was still dressed as usual. Fortunately, she was still pregnant for a short period of time, and her belly was not too obvious, and no one could tell anything.
"Young Madam, do you want to go out for a walk today?"
"Yes, go out and take a look."
Yanzhou Water Town is unique.
The winter weather was filled with a chilly wind.
Su He and Pei Xia walked slowly on the street, and Qing Yun followed them.
After a walk, everything they saw and heard was very strange, but Su He was not interested.
Qing Yun was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so he found a tavern and sat down to rest.
