Chapter 317: Concubine De's Status
Chapter 317: Concubine De's Status
Chu Yao hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "Forget it. Father hasn't confirmed this matter yet, nor has he confirmed who it is. It's better for me not to meet him."
Although she was only seventeen years old, she had a very stable and calm temperament.
She has her own attitude towards these things.
Shen Yindi saw it early on.
I admire it, but I also feel sorry for it.
She had no control over her own destiny, but she did not complain about it. She quietly adjusted her mindset, not quarreling or fighting. She was so clear-headed that it made people feel distressed.
Shen Yindi said: "Ayao is right. This matter has not been confirmed yet. If the emperor does not issue an imperial decree, there will still be variables. We don't have to be too proactive."
"It would be best if A-Yao could avoid the marriage. If she must go, then we can think of another way to help A-Yao so that she can live a better life even if she does go."
"We'll make a long-term plan when we find out who it is."
Si Qi nodded.
"Okay, then don't worry."
She felt a little embarrassed, thinking that she was too active.
Looking at Sister Yun's expression, she has been worried ever since she heard the news.
It seems that going to marry a foreign prince is not a good idea for A Yao.
Even if the other party is Nan Rufeng, it won’t work.
Now that I think about it, they really weren't close friends.
After drinking for a while, they went back home.
After all, I had been traveling for several days and my body had not yet recovered.
Shen Yindi also pulled Chu Yan back to the room.
She also drank a lot of fruit wine tonight.
There was a faint blush on her fair face, and her eyes were bright, as if there were stars hidden in them.
I can finally sleep peacefully and comfortably tonight.
Just thinking about hugging her prince makes her happy. She can also be affectionate with him for a while.
At the same time, Leng Xiao followed Lin Yuan and his daughter back to the Shangshu Mansion.
The entire Shangshu Mansion was very happy to see the eldest lady return.
When I saw Leng Xiao again, I felt that this person had a strong aura. He was wearing a mask and looked very mysterious. I didn't know who he was?
Don't dare to make mistakes.
Lin Yuan didn't say anything and took Leng Xiao directly to the study.
After arriving at the study, Lin Shuya saw her father was looking for something. She came to Leng Xiao and whispered, "Hey, can you give me the antidote?"
"It's really bad to feel so powerless right now. I can't beat you, and I don't know what you're afraid of."
Leng Xiao glanced at her and said nothing.
He looked at Lin Yuan without blinking, watching his every move, as if he was afraid that he would play tricks.
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. I'll go find A Di tomorrow and ask her to get me medicine! There's no poison that she can't cure anyway." Lin Shuya said disapprovingly.
"Who said you can go?" Leng Xiao's voice was low and still cold.
"Do you want to capture me and imprison me in that villa?"
"I've made it very clear that I'm willing to be a hostage. Do you have that little confidence in yourself?"
Lin Shuya is just stimulating him now.
Even if he saw through her intentions, she didn't care, and she wasn't afraid of him knowing.
Leng Xiao didn't say anything and just kept staring at Lin Yuan, as if he didn't hear what Lin Shuya said.
Lin Shuya pursed her lips. This person is really...
Lin Yuan quickly found a small wooden box.
He unlocked it, took it and handed it to Leng Xiao. He said in a low voice: "These are the letters your father wrote to me back then!"
"The last letter was sent three days before he was murdered. I had a vague feeling of uneasiness at the time, so I rushed over immediately. But I was still a step too late when I got there. Something had already happened at home, and he was seriously injured. He passed away before he could even finish his sentence."
When Lin Yuan said these words, his face was filled with sorrow and he was very upset.
Even though so many years have passed, he still can't let it go.
Leng Xiao picked up the last letter that Lin Yuan mentioned.
The tone of my father's letter was obviously different. It was like he was saying his final farewell.
Maybe she had anticipated that something was going to happen to her, but she didn't tell him what it was?
He read the other letters and could see that they were very close friends.
Even if they were not officials in the same place, they always kept in touch through letters.
"My dear nephew, I really didn't lie to you. I don't know who is secretly trying to sow discord between me and Qingyun. I have been investigating this matter for years, but it seems to have become a cold case."
"I firmly believe that Qingyun will never do such a thing as treasonous behavior." Lin Yuan reiterated.
It has been fifteen years since this happened. The longer the time goes, the smaller the possibility of finding out the truth seems.
Leng Xiao remained silent. What was he thinking?
After a while, his deep voice rang out: "I will trust you for now. But it doesn't mean that this matter is over."
"I will check it out."
"Check it out. It will help me to resolve the knot in my heart."
"The day after tomorrow I will set off for the south, and I don't know when I will be able to return to the imperial capital. I'd like to trouble my dear nephew to take good care of Yaya for me." Lin Yuan entrusted again.
Leng Xiao snorted coldly, took the wooden box and left.
Lin Yuan called him, but he acted as if he couldn't hear him and walked away as resolutely as ever.
He wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Lin Shuya.
"Dad, don't call him, let him go! He will definitely come back anyway." Lin Shuya was not worried at all.
Lin Yuan sighed.
"Dad, let me go see mom!" Lin Shuya is most worried about her mother's health now.
"Okay. Go ahead. Your mother will be very happy to see you back."
Lin Yuan withdrew his thoughts and stopped worrying about it.
The next day, Shen Yindi woke up in the morning.
The main thing is to go to bed early and feel restful at night.
If there weren't important things to do today, she might have stayed in bed until noon.
After breakfast, the couple went into the palace.
Mu Ningyuan also has to go to the palace to report things today.
Knowing that they were going to the palace, I made an appointment to go together.
Chu Yan followed Shen Yindi, while Mu Ningyuan went to report on his own.
Shen Yindi now has the token given to her by the emperor, and can enter and leave the palace freely.
But this time she didn't plan to go in so openly, to prevent the Queen and others from receiving the news first and causing trouble for them.
She didn't want to see people like Chu Heng and Chu Xing, which would affect her mood.
Her Third Prince was also very familiar with the palace. So he led her and flew into the palace wall using Qinggong. He went directly to the cold palace without passing through the harem.
The cold palace was indeed a cold palace, very desolate, with weeds growing as high as half a person.
It was deserted and Shen Yindi only saw one palace maid.
I don’t know if she was Concubine De’s original personal maid.
If not, I would definitely not try my best to take care of her.
Chu Yan directly pressed her acupoints and made her faint.
Then go find Concubine De.
At this time, Concubine De was in one of the rooms, and they found her easily.
When Shen Yindi saw her condition, a hint of shock flashed across her eyes.
Her hair, which was originally neatly tied up, was now down and disheveled.
His clothes were dirty and torn, and there were bruises on the corners of his mouth and face.
She sat on the bed with a dull look in her eyes.
This state...
Shen Yindi frowned, feeling a sense of uneasiness in her heart...
