Chapter 35 Everyone has their own agenda
Xue Yuechen has been married to Li Huan for many years, but it is rare for the couple to return to their parents' home together.
There was so much commotion outside, and the person who had "resurrected from the dead" was hugging his mother at home and crying. This is so funny.
On the way here, Xue Yuechen was still immersed in the grief of his third uncle's death. Now when he saw this scene, his atmosphere became uneven.
"Father, what is going on?"
Xue Qingzhi looked at her and smiled and said: "It's a long story. Your third uncle just came back and was a little frightened. Go and stay with your grandmother and sisters at home and talk..."
Xue Yuechen frowned, and when he took another look at Li Huan's calm face, he understood.
No wonder the prince would accompany her back...
I think I got the news in advance.
But he kept her in the dark.
Li Huan looked calm: "Go. My father-in-law and I have something to say."
Xue Yuechen responded with a smile, feeling compassionate in his heart.
Li Huan is a calm and reserved person. At first glance, he looks like a humble gentleman, with a smile on his face and a gentle expression. But when he stood there with his broad shoulders and long body, the atmosphere in the whole courtyard seemed to be covered by a layer of The frost shrouded it, and it became solemn for a moment.
The prince naturally has his own aura.
What's more, no one in Beijing knows that the emperor has five sons, and Prince Duan is the first.
This was a man who was at the very top of the emperor's heart. When everyone saw him, there was no one who was not in awe of him.
Xue Qingzhi stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, please move to Huixian Hall."
Li Huan raised his hand and said, "Xue Shangshu please."
"Please."
The family members all wisely stepped aside.
Xue Sui held the old lady's arm and blended in with the crowd, her eyes slightly lowered.
But when Li Huan walked in front of her, his steps stopped.
When he doesn't move, the world becomes quiet.
Everyone looked over, and Li Huan's eyes fell on her face.
Xue Sui could feel the scrutiny from above his head and the pressure in that man's eyes. But Li Huan didn't speak, and everyone else held their breath and didn't dare to speak rashly.
After all, everyone knew that Xue Liu was the person who was going to be carried into Prince Duan's Mansion to serve this master, and that was his person.
For a brief moment, there was no sound around.
Xue Yuechen stood next to Li Huan, like a knife cutting into bones, and his days were like years.
She forced herself to calm down and glanced at Xue Sui lightly, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Li Huan calmly withdrew his gaze, his expression indifferent.
"Nothing."
He walked in front with his hands behind his back, his posture upright and his clothes lightly brushed.
Xue Yuechen took a deep look at him, turned around, called Jade to his side, lowered his voice and explained in detail:
"Take the sixth girl to the Zhenbao Pavilion in Yongxingfang to buy some pastries that the prince likes. If the prince stays for dinner later, let her offer it to her and say it is her heartfelt wish."
Jade bends the knee should be.
Just as she was about to leave, Xue Yuechen hurriedly called her to stop her.
"Slow."
Jade stopped and waited.
It took a while before I heard Xue Yue sigh quietly.
"Tell Miss Six, it's fine to dress cleanly and elegantly. You must not dress up in a flashy style. Your Highness likes to be dignified and reserved, and does not like to be flirtatious and vulgar. When we meet for the first time, don't lose your etiquette and annoy the prince."
Jade knew her master's awkwardness.
On the one hand, he wanted his sister to ward off the disaster and give birth to the prince's heir for her.
On the other hand, she is unwilling to let her sister get too close to her husband, and is unwilling to give him to anyone easily, which is really difficult for her.
-
Huixian Hall is the reception hall of Xue Mansion.
Due to the visit of His Highness Prince Duan, there was a sense of busyness at the moment.
A dozen well-trained girls in charge, dressed in uniform green and lotus-colored uniforms and with neat buns, bowed their heads at the door to greet them early.
Xue Qingzhi invited Prince Duan in, and they filed in. They quickly served tea and snacks to the hall, and then quietly left without making any sound. The screen went away and the room was quiet for a moment.
Li Huan lowered his head and drank tea unhurriedly, with an elegant and leisurely posture.
Xue Qingzhi secretly observed the words and expressions on the side, looking a little embarrassed.
"Today, the official's family ugliness has been exposed, and His Highness is laughing."
Li Huan then slowly put down the tea cup, his fingertips gently rubbed the edge of the tea cup, and a trace of laughter flashed in his eyes.
"This Yuqian tea has a very astringent taste."
When Xue Qingzhi saw that he didn't mention Xue Qingxiu's resurrection, he thought he came after getting the news. He was afraid that he would misunderstand that he would not report the information, and beads of sweat quietly appeared on his forehead.
"My second brother asked someone to bring back new tea from Jiangzhou. I think the rain this spring was not abundant enough. The tea has lost some of its spiritual energy and cannot be appreciated by His Highness. If there is a good product next time, I will present it to His Highness for tasting."< br>
Li Huan acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and suddenly lifted his lips, revealing an imperceptible smile.
"Have you ever heard of the Seven Gates of the Big Dipper in Jiulingmarsh, Lord Shangshu?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xue Qingzhi didn't know why he asked this, and was stunned.
"The official has heard a little bit about it, but that place is mysterious and unpredictable. The bodyguards do not interact with the outside world. No one can tell the doorways and secrets there. There are so many people spreading rumors that it is impossible to tell which ones are true and which ones are false. Already..."
Li Huan sat still, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
"I have received some rumors recently. The Seven Sects of the Big Dipper are ordered to act according to the imperial edict. This person's whereabouts are mysterious. It is said that he has peerless skills and extraordinary resourcefulness. If he gets it, he can control him."
Xue Qingzhi's heart thumped, and he secretly felt that this matter was difficult, but his face remained calm, "I am ignorant, I wonder why Your Highness mentioned this person?"
Li Huan: "If this person can be used by me..."
The words are not finished, but they are full of profound meaning.
Xue Qingzhi hurriedly leaned forward, cupped his hands deeply and said: "I'm sorry to speak bluntly. The old mausoleum is a forbidden place that the late emperor issued a strict decree. No officials or relatives of the royal family are allowed to have anything to do with it..."< br>
Li Huan smiled: "As long as you have the will, everything will turn around. Xue Shangshu can let Taoist Lingxu see the secrets of heaven. I, the king, adapt to the current conditions and follow the general trend."
Xue Qingzhi was a little unsure of the temperament of this Tianhuang nobleman. He felt a chill on his back. He smiled guiltily and did not answer.
Li Huan just looked at him quietly.
"Xue Shangshu thinks that Taoist has something to do with the Qionglou case?"
Xue Qingzhi felt chills all over, "According to what I see, it should be... there should be no involvement."
Li Huan glanced sideways: "What about Laojun Mountain? I heard that your brother has made great achievements?"
Xue Qingzhi smiled awkwardly, unable to make a sound or complain.
The gangsters in Laojun Mountain assassinated the prince twice, but there were natural dangers to defend, secret passages, and numerous agencies. Not to mention that outsiders could not find out what was going on, and the government had repeatedly suppressed them.
Before today, Xue Qingzhi could only smile lightly when hearing these things.
Even if Li Huan never told him the truth, he could probably guess that the gangsters who had been entrenched in Laojun Mountain for many years were most likely to have some connection with King Duan, otherwise they would not have developed so fast.
It's hard to say that this is the force that was secretly cultivated.
Unexpectedly, Laojun Mountain was leveled overnight.
It was his brother who led people up the mountain...
According to Xue Qingzhi's understanding of this younger brother, he has absolutely no ability to accomplish such a big thing.
But the matter was right in front of him, and Lao San proudly claimed credit. Judging from Wang Duan's expression, it didn't look like he was cheating. He had to acknowledge this "credit" even if he didn't want to.
It just depends on what Li Huan wants to think.
Xue Qingzhi thought for a moment and said: "Can your Highness trust this official?"
Li Huan smiled and said, "If I can't even trust my father-in-law, who can I trust?"
Xue Qingzhi's frown eased a lot, "According to my opinion, the Eastern Palace must be involved in this matter. How can that man sleep peacefully when he sees that the power of the court is gradually declining, and many ministers are vying to cling to the prince? If he doesn't try to check and balance, he can only I am afraid that those who are dependent will also leave sooner or later, and I have to compete with the prince to compare my strengths and weaknesses in order to stabilize my position..."
Li Huan chuckled, his eyes sharper.
"Bring the old Taoist priest here, and I will interrogate him personally."
Xue Sui: See you tomorrow, readers. If I don’t see the enthusiastic little hands, I feel uneasy. Is my story not good-looking?
Li Zhao: If you don’t show up alone, who will care about you?
