Chapter 50 Palace Banquet (4)(2/2)
Returning from the palace to the Pingyang Marquis’ Mansion is already in the middle of the moon, at three o'clock.
On the way back home, Gu Xiyan sat in the carriage without saying a word, his face as white as gold paper, and his hands were cold and cold without a trace of warmth.
Xiao Rang thought that she was blown by the wind when she was breathing outside, so he immediately held her small hands into her big palm. Unexpectedly, it was warmed for a long time but it didn't get warm.
When he arrived in the main room of Ningyuan, Gu Xiyan only said, "I'll go wash first", and then turned around and went to the inner room in a daze.
Seeing that she looked tired, Xiao Rang didn't think much about it. He ordered his mother Gui to make ginger soup for Gu Xiyan, and then went to the martial arts and martial arts to deal with the squeezed official business.
In the martial arts hall.
"... Just like what I guessed... the assassin that day was indeed for the mistress.
However, the person behind the assassin... was from the inner court of the Forbidden Palace, and the envoy was the lord of the Yongle Palace... Concubine Yin."
After the water grind the nanmu table and chair, Xiao Rang closed his eyes and rested, grinding a white jade chess piece in his hand. Every time Liuyun, who was kneeling on one knee, said something, his face darkened.
After Liuyun finished his report, he wanted to speak but stopped, but he didn't dare to look up at Xiao Rang, who was following him.
Xiao Rang reached out and knocked on the table, "So," he said."
"When I say it to you... I asked my subordinates to check... what happened when my mistress was not married..."
Xiao Rang's eyebrows and eyes rose a little impatiently, and opened his eyes and said, "I straightened my tongue and spoke, but how could I learn the problem of hesitation!"
Liuyun shook and said hurriedly, "Subordinate should be damned."
The people below had already sorted out all the things they found into words. Liuyun stepped forward, put a few pieces of rice paper in front of Xiao Rang with his hands, and then returned to his lower head, and then said: "When my mistress was not married, she often participated in elegant gatherings such as poetry clubs and tea parties. Most of the above elegant gatherings were literati and poets."
Liuyun paused and said, "In addition, the mistress and a guest named Shi Jingyuan who was raised in the Gu family... I have seen each other several times in private and often have some letters.
After the mistress married into the Marquis’ Mansion, the guest also sent several letters, but after the mistress received the letter, she did not respond..."
Before Liuyun could finish his words, Xiao Rang grabbed a tea bowl with blue cloud pattern on his hand, raised his hand and smashed it hard.
Seeing this, Liuyun immediately fell silent, and bowed her head without saying a word.
The four walls in the martial arts hall were all made into an ancient shelf, with antique toys and treasure zithers and swords on them.
The teacup hit the antique shelf of Huanghuali wood and immediately broke into pieces.
Xiao Rang used his strength to smash the ancient shelf, and the ancient shelf was hit hard. He saw countless treasures on his head shaking and making a "thunderous clang" sound.
The porcelain pieces scattered everywhere, and a few of them flew to Liuyun's feet.
Liuyun hurriedly said, "Master, please calm down!"
On that side, Xiao Rang stared at the densely written pieces of rice paper, with a gloomy expression and asked coldly, "When did you find it?"
Liuyun licked his dry lips and said the truth with a stingy head. "When I say that, the mistress's affairs were found half a month ago, and the assassination was..."
"If you know the truth, you will deceive your superiors and hide your subordinates--" Xiao Rang interrupted loudly, "Go down and get twenty military sticks."
"Continue to send someone to stare at the Gu family's servant.
Whenever there is any abnormal movement, report it immediately."
Liuyun heard this and rested on the ground and gave a big gift, "The subordinates knew that they were guilty.
My subordinates receive the order!”
...
The personal guards raised by the Marquis of Pingyang were extremely efficient, and Gu Xiyan had already checked all these trivial matters that had not yet been married.
Half a month ago, Xiao Rang's injuries had not healed.
Liuyun was afraid that Xiao Rang would get angry when he knew about this, which would affect his illness. Secondly, seeing that Xiao Rang had never mentioned this since he gave the last order, he took the initiative to hide it from him.
Liuyun has been with Xiao Rang for many years, and Xiao Rang knows that he is loyal and loyal.
However, this crime of bullying the superiors is a major taboo in military strategists. If this continues, if it becomes a habit, it is afraid that something will happen.
Therefore, we cannot fail to punish.
In the martial arts hall, Xiao Rang looked at the messy ground, frowned and his face was congested.
