Chapter 626 Ancestors and grandsons, light and shadow

"Old man, you have arrived home. Do you want to send the sedan chair?"

When such a sound came from outside the car, a sleepy old man Yue had already hugged his hands inside and opened his eyes tiredly. He didn't like sedan chairs too much. He used to be in a sedan chair and wandered around the city when he was in a bad mood, because that scene was the most common in Jinling City. From officials to businessmen with a few dollars, they all liked to wander around in sedan chairs and were not easily understood by people.

But today it was the big night to go out, and let the sedan chair bearer stay up late and wait for him to enter and exit the palace, and then carry the sedan chair back. This was too troublesome, and when he was traveling at night, the carriage was far safer than the sedan chair. So, at this moment, he pulled up the car curtain and saw that the car trunk had been put, so he got out of the carriage and stepped off the ground, then stretched without any image.

"I've arrived at my own doorstep, it's just this little road. What sedan chair should I take? Walk in. Remember to close the door."

As the old man Yue spoke, he walked in on his own until several guards came over. He asked one of them and Yueying the longest time: "You can go to the east wing of Hemingxuan. If Xiaoying goes to bed, there is no need to be alarmed. If he is still waiting, please invite him to see me."

Seeing the guard agreeing and leaving in a hurry, Old Master Yue had already roughly expected the result. With Yueying's temperament, it was impossible for him to fall asleep peacefully before he came back. I don't know how Yueying and Yue Qianqiu were talking. Will the two of them stay up late in Hemingxuan and sit waiting for him. As they thought, he was still dealing with Yu Ru just now, and he couldn't help but have a headache. He secretly thought that the debt of children and grandchildren is the real debt.

However, when he was about to arrive in front of Hemingxuan Courtyard, the guard just now ran back. When he arrived in front of him, he bowed and said, "Old Master, Master Ying is not here!"

Not here? Could it be that he is still kissing Curie and Yue Qianqiu? After all, that letter is extraordinary news...

Old Master Yue thought about this, but he always felt a little uneasy. Finally, he said in a deep voice: "Be careful to go over and kiss Juju and take a look. If Qianqiu and Xiaoying are both here, let them come to see me together. Remember, don't disturb others, especially the fourth wife and Nuonuo. One is in poor health and the other is still young, and sleep is the most important thing!"

When Old Master Yue entered Hemingxuan and asked someone to make a pot of strong tea, he took a cup of hot thick tea and took a stomachache. The guard who went to Kiss to check came back.

Before he could ask impatiently, the guard said with a bitter face: "Old Master, Master Ying is not here, Master Jiu is not here. Teacher Xu came out to see the news. He was quite surprised when he heard my purpose. He said that Master Jiu came back only after midnight. He was complained by the fourth wife, and then he went back to the house. He had never seen Master Ying..."

"I didn't see it? He hadn't seen Xiaoying before. How could Xiaoying and Qianqiu disappear together?" Old Master Yue only felt that the situation was incredible and suddenly raised his voice.

"Old Master, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet! But Teacher Xu later said that it seemed that he was talking to someone after hearing the Ninth Master returning to his room, because he was at home, and the Ninth Master ordered everyone to go to bed, so he had no argument. It was probably that the Ninth Master and Master Ying were talking at that time. Since the two of them were not here, they must have gone out together."

Go out together?

This time, even if Old Master Yue was really sleepy, he couldn't sleep anymore. He unconsciously stroked the handrail with his hands, and nodded slightly for a while and said, "Okay, go down. Let them go and rest. When the lights are turned on tonight, you can also take your family to watch the fun."

After the guard left, Old Master Yue said to himself: "Qianqiu has always been a little bitch, and he knows the most important thing, let alone Xiaoying. It is absolutely impossible for a person with a temperament to be able to go... Where can I go to this big and small night? Xiaoying took that letter to see Qianqiu. If Qianqiu couldn't accept it for a while, then the place they were most likely to go..."

Ding'an's Tomb!

Old Master Yue slapped the handrail and stood up, but he thought that the place was definitely not as remote as it was outside the city. Yueying and Yue Qianqiu and the other two could have a chance to leave the city at night, even if he was a dignified prime minister, he would never be able to go out. Moreover, even if he was sitting in the most lightning carriage, he would definitely be out of the sky, and there would be no second result.

He breathed a sigh of relief and decided to go to bed and lie down for a while, even if he stared at him, he would have to prepare for the day of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This time, plus a cup of ginseng soup, would be almost enough. As the position of Minister of Revenue, he could still take a leave without any trouble, but now it is not possible.

Therefore, he must not be the prime minister for too long... If it is too long, he must be prepared to die in office!

"Three years... or five years?"

After working all night, he didn't even have the strength to wash his feet, so he slowly took off his clothes and hung it on the hanger, and then lay down on the bed, thinking in his heart that this problem that others would think was nonsense. The house was warm and the bed was also hot. Once the warm quilt was covered, even if he ran back and forth to the palace, the cold body was soon dispelled, and he fell asleep soon.

"Grandpa, grandpa!"

I don’t know how long it took, Old Master Yue suddenly caught the repeated calls from his ears. When he realized that it was Yue Qianqiu’s voice, he was a little confused and immediately woke up. He tried his best to push away his drooping eyelids, and then he saw clearly the two people at the head of the bed. He subconsciously wanted to support his body and sit up, but Yue Qianqiu helped him.

"Grandpa, please wait... If it weren't for the outside saying that you should get up and prepare to go to court, I wouldn't have come here at this time..."

"Little bastard!" Old Master Yue knocked Yue Qianqiu on the head angrily, "Stop saying these nonsense to me, where did you and Xiaoyingda run tonight? I won't find anyone after I come back!"

Yue Qianqiu looked back at Yue Ying, and after calming down, he whispered: "Uncle Ying and I went to the place where Ding'an buried our bones."

Faced with this expected answer, Old Master Yue frowned, but was still a little disbelief: "With Xiaoying's foot strength, it took so long to go there? According to the answer that the person who asked Xu Hao, you two have been out for at least two hours."

Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but look at Yue Ying again, and then said with a bitter face: "So Grandpa, don't you know either? Uncle Ying also dug a grave."

"What?" Old Master Yue really widened his eyes, "It's the third update in the middle of the night, Xiaoying, are you going to dig a grave?"

Seeing Yueying nodded, he admitted it. Realizing that the situation was different from what he thought, his old face suddenly wrinkled together, especially when he saw Yueying take out a paper bag he had never seen and handed it to him, he knew even more that something was wrong.

Opening the paper bag, he unfolded the silk book and found that the content was exactly the same as the letter Yue Ying had seen him before. He asked with a serious expression: "Did you find it in the coffin?"

"No, it was Cheng Qianqian who gave it to Qianqiu, claiming it was her mother's relic." Yueying gave an answer instead of Yue Qianqiu. Seeing that Old Master Yue's face was as severe as frost, he added, "Qianqiu went to tell his master today, and originally planned to come back and say to the old master, but he ran into me, so..."

"Little bastard, your wings are hard, how dare you not tell me first!" The old man didn't sleep well all night. He was no less angry than a young man when he woke up. At this moment, the old man with smoke from his seven orifices could not help but interrupt Yueying's words, grabbed Yue Qianqiu's ear and said angrily, "How many days ago can Cheng Qianqian give you something? You have dragged it to this day!"

Yue Qianqiu just wished he could not use his skills to protect his ears, so he could only try to put his head on the old man Yue's hand, which could at least reduce the pain, but muttered: "Because I don't want people to see it, I just want to ruin the calculation, so that no one will know in the future..."

Faced with such an explanation, Old Master Yue suddenly became silent. He couldn't help but let go of his hand, rubbed Yue Qianqiu's head vigorously, and sighed deeply: "I also hope you are my grandson, but some things are not something you don't think that it doesn't exist if it doesn't exist. Why did you, such a smart person, not expect that there would be a second letter?"

Yue Qianqiu suddenly felt a little unnatural, but he still said innocently: "I knew I was in a bad mood after this incident, of course I just wanted to delay it for a while... I have grandpa, uncle, master, mother and Nuonuo, etc. It's enough. I don't want to have more relatives who have never fulfilled their responsibilities of taking care of them, and I have no memory or impression at all."

Yue Qianqiu once said that Yue Lao and Yue Ying were both impressed, but he still said this at this time, and even after the two documentary evidences that he was likely to be the son of Queen Beiyan, they naturally felt mixed feelings. However, after being moved in an instant, Old Master Yue couldn't help but hold Yue Qianqiu's ear again with regret.

"You boy has no ambitions! I never thought that your grandfather, I have anyone else who knew you were the Prince of Beiyan. I was waiting for you to beg me to send troops to help you seize the throne of Beiyan?"

Yue Qianqiu shouted that it hurt, but this time he did not hesitate to break free from the clutches of the old man Yue, then stepped back two pieces and hummed slightly unhappily.

"Grandpa, go and go and lie! Last time, Princess Dongyang and the emperor quietly walked into the secret passage together to meet Xiao Qingqing, but the emperor changed his face as soon as he saw her and recognized her. It turned out that the relationship with the emperor was not someone else, but Empress Beiyan. Even the little fat man was wrapped in a cradle and Xiao Qingqing carried it to the emperor. If you really want to find such an excuse to send troops to the Northern Expedition, it would be more suitable for Ying Xiaopang than me. But the emperor is not that stupid. There are 1,000 excuses for my court to attack Beiyan, so there is no need for this!"

Old Master Yue's expression changed slightly, and then he glared at his grandson angrily: "You are hiding such a big deal from me?"

"The emperor thanked God if he didn't silence me at that time. How dare I talk too much!" Yue Qianqiu called Chitianqu with confidence, "Besides, the emperor might be observing grandpa's reaction before, and maybe he had tested you. Seeing that you were acting as usual, I felt like I was a tight-lipped person, so I didn't do anything to me, so I don't believe that he really didn't care so much!"

Although he pretended to lose his temper just now, Old Master Yue's thinking was already working quickly.

A few days ago, the emperor talked to himself about the enthronement of the prince and asking Xiao Jingxian to officially start teaching the little fat man. His attitude has not changed from the past. He had no objection to the establishment of the prince, but he believed that Xiao Jingxian could not be allowed to get along with the little fat man alone. The emperor agreed quite well at that time, but now thinking about it, it is hard to guarantee that he would not have tried to tell whether Yue Qianqiu had revealed the truth to him after he came back...

Although even if Yue Qianqiu really said it, the emperor might not be able to do anything, Yue Qianqiu's choice to hide temporarily before must not be said to be wrong... His only feeling uncomfortable was probably that this kid told Yan Xu first.

After calming down his not-so-good mood, Old Master Yue finally remembered the problem of being scattered just now. He had to immediately lower his face and said, "Don't both of you both have to mess with me. Go dig up graves at night, what can I do?"

Yue Qianqiu looked at Yueying again. He felt a little uncomfortable with the bracelet. After Yueying filled the soil and came up again, he returned it.

At this moment, when Yueying took the bracelet to Old Master Yue, he interrupted and said, "Grandpa, this looks very similar to the bracelet that Cheng Qianqian gave me, but we didn't open it. And there is a very important question. According to Uncle Ying, Ding An was originally buried. Since those people were greedy, how could they let this bracelet go?"

This time, the person who answered was Yueying: "Qianqiu, I forgot to tell you before that this bracelet was not placed on Ding An's hand bone, but was found near her leg bone, but not on it, but scattered next to it. In other words, she was not wearing the bracelet, but was likely to be cut off her thighs and put them in before sewing them."

"Time may not be long before she hugged you out of the fire. Otherwise, with such a big wound, she would not have had any flaws in her daily life. When I was relocated to the funeral, my body was charred, especially my legs were completely covered, so no one noticed that she was hiding something. When the flesh and blood melted, the bracelet would fall out naturally."

Yue Qianqiu immediately felt a chill on his vest. Such a cruel and tragic way of hiding things, what was Ding An hiding?

Even though Yue Qianqiu told Yue Ying that it was exactly the same as the bracelet given to him by Cheng Qianqian, because it was not suitable for both the cemetery and on the road before, the two did not try to open the bracelet. At this moment, he saw that Old Master Yue handed the bracelet back to Yue Ying again, nodded and signaled to the person to open it.

Yueying fiddled with the thing for a while, and his nails scratched the suspected joint a few times, and then suddenly exerted force in his hand. A crack suddenly broke in the middle of the bracelet, and finally became two petals. In the narrow groove in the middle, there was indeed a roll of extremely thin silk, which was only a little bit at first glance, but after Yueying carefully picked it out and spread it out, there were two pieces the size of a palm.

However, on this huge silk book, it is not as dense as the one Yue Qianqiu had read before, all of which are full of fly-headed small regular script, with only a few very simple characters.
