Chapter 920: People’s hearts are inherently unpredictable
After the Lantern Festival, it was really cold for a while. It wasn’t until mid-February that the weather gradually slowed down, and the north wind howled and the snow fell every day. . On this day, the sun finally came out, and Shang Ruyi took Xiao Yuanzi out of Qianqiu Palace and went to Jinyu Garden.
Because of the incident in Tangquan Palace, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was in a bad mood. Chu Ruoyan did not dare to show up in front of the emperor because of Jiang Chongen's affairs. During the entire Chinese New Year, she did not show up. Yuan took a step forward, fearing that an inadvertent move would make the emperor angry and implicate the mother and brothers of Yanchun Palace.
So she was particularly happy to see Shang Ruyi bringing Xiao Yuanzi over this day.
The table was filled with snacks and snacks she made herself, as well as rose tea she made. The cool air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and fruits, which made Shang Ruyi smile and said: "My sister's place is better. Spring hasn’t arrived yet, but it’s time to smell the fragrance of spring.”
Chu Ruoyan lowered his head and smiled: "I have nothing to do, just do these to pass the time."
Shang Ruyi felt sour in his heart.
How could she not hear that this was not a leisurely act, but an act of helplessness? Although Chu Ruoyan said it lightly, loneliness can kill people.
So he said softly: "Due to the incident in Tangquan Palace these days, the situation in the palace is relatively complicated, and King Qin has no time to spare. After a period of time when things relax a bit, he will definitely come over to see you more often."
Chu Ruoyan blushed and said: "I, that's not what I meant..."
Shang Ruyi smiled.
The two were talking, but Xiao Yuanzi, who was nestled in Shang Ruyi's arms, became restless. He smelled the fragrance of flowers and fruits in the air and was particularly excited. He walked along Shang Ruyi's knees. The waiter climbed up and reached out to grab the snacks on the plate. Shang Ruyi hurriedly held his hand. The fat kid grunted displeasedly, and then grinned at Chu Ruoyan across from him.
Chu Ruoyan immediately said: "Yuanzi, do you like the fragrance of flowers?"
Shang Ruyi smiled and handed the child to her. As soon as Chu Ruoyan took it, both hands were pressed She felt heavy and hurriedly hugged her tightly, smiling: "Oh, I'm a lot fatter than before. I can't even hold her anymore."
Xiaoyuanzi probably liked the fragrance of flowers on her body, so she got in She kept giggling in her arms.
Chu Ruoyan felt her heart melt. She held Xiao Yuanzi in her arms without letting go. While patting him gently, she pressed her cheek against the child's tender and chubby cheek, and then turned her head. Said to Shang Ruyi: "Does Yuanzi have a name?"
Shang Ruyi shook his head.
Chu Ruoyan frowned slightly and said, "Almost half a year old, why haven't you given a name yet?"
Shang Ruyi has been worried about this since he gave it to me. After the nickname "Yuanzi", Yuwen Yuan then stopped mentioning the matter of naming his children. If he said that he had neglected them because of the Tangquan Palace incident, he was not vague about the emperor's eldest grandson at all. He still sent rewards from time to time. It was also because of this that the palace People in the country dare not neglect this place.
Shang Ruyi said: "Probably, my father is still thinking about it."
The two chatted for a while, and Shang Ruyi got up and left. Chu Ruoyan also asked someone to pack two more boxes of snacks to take with them. When they returned to Qianqiu Palace, they saw that Yu Wenye had already returned and was sitting at the table drinking tea. ,one Seeing the food box in Tu Sheer's hand, he immediately smiled and said, "Have you gone to Jinyuyuan?"
"Well, let's go over and talk to Mrs. Chu for a while."
Yu Wenye’s schematic diagram Er put down the box and opened it. Inside were several plates of exquisite snacks, filled with fragrance. He sighed: "She used to be very shy, but now she can make such good snacks. It's rare."
“It’s also because of loneliness.”
Yu Wenye raised her head and glanced at Shang Ruyi, and she said: “Your Highness, if you have time, go and see her more often.”
Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, Shang Ruyi immediately said: "I just think that she is too frustrated these days. Jiang Chongen's matter was originally his own obsession and had nothing to do with Mrs. Chu. Because of this , she didn’t dare to leave Jinyuyuan for most of the year.”
Yu Wenye's expression softened slightly and he sighed softly: "Of course I know, but there are too many things going on recently. I will go see her when I have some time." Shang Ruyi immediately said: "By the way, have you checked? To what?"
Yu Wenye shook his head.
When Shang Ruyi heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
Not only did the emperor send the left-wing military guards to search the city, they also sent people to conduct private inspections and undercover investigations. However, after the person who intercepted and killed Pei Xingyuan was silenced, there were really no clues at all. Now that the case is stuck here, even they have no clue. clue.
Yu Wenye took a piece of snack from the box and took a sip of the tea. He thought it tasted good. He nodded lightly and said, "However, I made a new discovery today."
< br>Shang Ruyi immediately asked: "What?"
Yu Wenye said: "When my people were searching the city, they found that there was another team of people who were also investigating this matter."
< br>“Who?”
"A person from the Duke of Wushan."
"The Duke of Wushan? Yu Dingxing?"
As soon as he heard this, Shang Ruyi immediately thought of something and said: "Since he is also investigating, then , he probably didn’t do it.”
Yu Wenye nodded lightly.
In fact, from the rumors they heard these days, the Crown Princess was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they vaguely realized that this matter was probably not the fault of the Yu family's father and daughter. It's just that two people did it before That incident made everyone target them. The emperor even ignored Yu Dingxing's eye injury and asked him to personally lead a team out of the city to hunt down Jiang Tao and Liang Youying. That's why they are so anxious to find out the truth now, probably I want to prove my innocence.
Shang Ruyi's eyes suddenly became clear, and then his brows furrowed even more tightly.
If it’s not the Yu family’s father and daughter, then who could it be?
After eating a piece of snack, Yu Wenye washed his hands, came back and sat next to her, and said: "This incident has involved many people since it happened. Everyone may be affected by this incident. Gain, or lose power, but no matter what, these people who intercepted and killed Pei Xingyuan will definitely not come out This circle."
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and murmured: "The people involved in the Tangquan Palace incident include the prince, the princess and his daughter, Lou Liangdi and his daughter, as well as you and me. , Pei family, and people from Wanggangzhai."
"..."
"If it weren't for the Crown Princess, who else would want to kill Pei Xingyuan?"
At this point, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Yu Wenye.
"Could it be——"
Yu Wenye took another sip of tea, but he was savoring the bitterness and sweetness in the tea. He was silent for a long time and said: "The human heart, It’s unpredictable.”
Shang Ruyi lowered his head and thought for a moment, in disbelief. He seemed to have figured something out in this disbelief, and shook his head with a sigh.
"Then, what are you going to do? Tell your father?"
"Telling your father will serve no other purpose than clearing the suspicion on us." Yu Wenye's eyes flickered and he said, "If we can become a favor, , not bad.”
