While Wen Wan was in the East Palace, Dong Zhengwei happened to go back to the Princess's Mansion to find Wen Wan. Dong Zhengwei met Xia Xian and said he was looking for the princess.
Xia Xian saw Dong Zhengwei's serious expression and was anxious to find the princess. That look should be a big deal. Immediately he asked quickly: "What happened?"
Dongzheng looked at Xia Xian slightly, wondering whether he should tell Xia Xian. After all, it was Wen Wan who gave the order. He didn't know whether Xia Xian was reliable or not.
Xia Xian couldn't laugh or cry when she saw Dong Zhengwei's expression. This person can't even believe himself: "The princess has something to do. If you don't report something serious, I won't let you know. If it's a big thing, I'll rescue people now and let them tell the princess."
Dong Zheng thought for a moment and then said: "Miss Xia Xian, the princess asked me to check if there is a tunnel over there. I have already checked it, and there is indeed a secret passage over there. But I don't know why it was filled in. . They can¡¯t be found. Miss Xia Xian, these people definitely don¡¯t want me to know.¡±
As soon as Dong Zhengwei got the news, he immediately came back to report Wen Wan. Dong Zhengwei was worried that these people wouldn't let him know, that is, they didn't want the princess to know. Things that you don't want the princess to know are definitely things that are detrimental to the princess.
A bad premonition flashed through Xia Xian's mind: "What did you say? Where is the secret passage?" Xia Xian was even thinking in her heart, she must not fall into what she thought.
Dong Zhengwei told him what Wen Wan had told him. Then he talked about discovering the secret passage. Upon discovering this, Dong Zhengwei felt something was wrong and immediately came over to tell Wen Wan.
?? But she happened to know a little about what happened yesterday. In the morning, Xia Xiang told her that an expert came last night. Seeing that the princess looked very good today, she must have told the experts where the eldest and second young masters were. This man went to pick up the princess.
Xia Xian is also one of Wen Wan's confidants, and is quite clear about Wen Wan's thoughts. She knows that if Qi Yu is not dead, the princess will be worried about the two young masters coming back, and is worried about what will happen. So I have been refusing to send anyone to deliver it. In other words, the person who came last night probably knew that the news had not been kept secret for long. So just come here yourself. Ask the princess to tell him the hiding place of the two young masters. Then he used two children to lure Qi Yu out. This, thisXia Xian shivered.
At this moment Xia Xian panicked. If the princess knew about it, the sky would fall.
Dong Zhengwei looked at Xia Xian's frightened expression and asked hurriedly: "Miss Xia Xian, what happened?" It seemed that this matter was really important. Otherwise, it is impossible that Xia Xian would not be like this.
Xia Xian calmed down at the moment: "Dong Zhengwei. This matter is of great importance, so don't report it to the princess for the time being. Do you understand?"
Dong Zhengwei was a little confused: "Why?" If it were anyone else, Dong Zhengwei would definitely not listen. But Xia Xian is Wen Wan's confidant and a person Wen Wan can trust. Now that you have spoken. There must be a reason.
Xia Xian let out a sigh of relief: "I can't explain this to you right now. I'll explain it to you later. Dong Zhengwei, I sincerely request you not to tell the princess this news for the time being. Okay?" "Xia Xian sincerely begged her not to be what he thought.
Dong Zhengwei was confused: "If you don't tell me the reason, I will wait for the princess in the princess's mansion." He didn't want to hide it from the princess. Whether it's good news or bad news, the princess must know it. As a subordinate, you must not hide anything from your boss. This is a big no-no.
Xia Xian doesn't know the specific situation now: "I can only tell you that this matter is of great importance. If you tell the princess, the sky will collapse. By then, not only will the world be in chaos, but even the princess will "You can't say something unlucky: "I'm just asking you to go back first. I'll come find you later, okay?"
Dong Zhengwei frowned tightly, and the world was in chaos. What would cause chaos in the world? Alarmist or not. But looking at Xia Xian's pale face, Dong Zheng nodded slightly.
Just as he was talking, Wen Wan came back. Wenwan is back.
After Wen Wan came back, she went to the study room in the front yard to handle government affairs. Xia Xian filled a bowl of the medicated meal she cooked for Wen Wan and gave it to Wen Wan to drink.
When Xia Xian came out, she winked at Xia Xiang. Wen Wan lowered her head while reviewing the memorial and didn't see it. If you see it, you will definitely become suspicious.
Xia Xiang felt weird. But he quietly retreated.
After Xia Xiang went out, she turned to the wing where Wen Wan used to take a nap and asked Xia Xian, "What's the matter with making it so mysterious?" This was the first time Xia Xian faced the princess behind her back. Wink.
Xia Xian just listened to some of what Xia Xiang said this morning, but she doesn¡¯t know the specific situation. Now let Xia Xiang tell her in detail.
After listening to what Xia Xiang said, Xia Xian's hands and feetCool. A thought came to my mind, it's over, the sky is falling. If the princess knew that the visitor had deceived her, that person would use the eldest son and the second son as bait to lure Qi Yu out. That would really cause chaos.
Xia Xiang saw that Xia Xian, who had always been calm, looked pale. There is nothing natural about the whole body. Obviously thinking of something bad. Xia Xiang was horrified: "What happened? What happened?" It must be a big deal, otherwise it would be impossible for Xia Xian to be like this.
Xia Xian told Xia Xiang what Dong Zhengwei said. Xia Xiang was furious: "That's too much. You want to plot against the princess like this?" Xia Xiang was sure that Xia Xian's speculation was true. Now only Mingrui and Mingjin can lure Qi Yu out. I didn't expect this person to be so mean.
Xia Xian grabbed Xia Xiang's arm: "What should we do? If the princess finds out, this day will really collapse."
¡°If the princess knew that the eldest and second young masters were in danger. Xia Xian could not guarantee whether the princess would immediately set off to pick up the two young masters.
"The local area was already a bit unstable due to the previous rebellion, but it was finally stabilized. The princess is gone, and no one is in control of the government. If the princess leaves the capital, the capital is likely to be in chaos. The capital is in chaos, and the war in the border towns and Haikou will not be able to continue peacefully. Those with evil intentions take advantage of this to cause chaos, and the world will be in chaos.
Xia Xian and Xia Xiang are both people who have been with Wen Wan for so many years. I know that in the princess's heart, her children are more important than anything else. The princess doesn't care whether the country is stable or not. The country is not more important than two young men. I don¡¯t know who is so brainless.
Xia Xiang was calmer than Xia Xian: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious first. Things are not that bad. At the beginning, the princess was worried about what might happen, so she asked Sister Xia Yao and Lord Wuxing to accompany the two children. If they really have this intention, Sister Xia Yao and Master Wuxing will definitely see it. If they want to force themselves, it depends on whether Sister Xia Yao agrees. So I think it is better to tell the princess about it now. Countermeasures.¡±
Xia Xian shook her head and said: "If it were other things, the princess would definitely have countermeasures. But in this case, if the princess knew that the eldest and second young master were in danger, the princess would only pick them up personally. There would be no countermeasures. "For two children. The princess cannot eat or sleep well. If he knew there was danger, he would probably go to Haikou regardless.
Xia Xiang frowned: "But we can't hide it from the princess. It's such a big thing, we can't hide it from the princess. If the princess wants to leave the capital, analyze the interests for him, and the princess will take the overall situation into consideration." Xia Xiang I don't agree with Xia Xian's words, thinking that Wen Wan will focus on the overall situation.
Xia Xian smiled bitterly: "You can talk about other things. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Xia Xiang, we can only hide this news. Otherwise, Xia Xiang, we can't take it just in case If there is any chance, . The princess's mansion is not a place for peace. If the princess leaves the capital, she will probably cause chaos in the world. If the princess doesn't leave the capital, she will not be able to sleep well. If the princess doesn't find her two children, she won't even be able to handle the government affairs, let alone the affairs of the state.
Xia Xiang didn¡¯t know what to do at the moment.
Xia Xian smiled bitterly: "In this case, I will go find Dong Zhengwei. You go to Xia Ying. Tell sister Xia Ying about this matter. You tell Xia Ying that you must not reveal the slightest bit to the princess. We must I have thought of all aspects. Otherwise, with the princess¡¯s acumen, it would not be so easy to hide it. ¡°No matter what happens in the end, it must be hidden now. The princess cannot fall.
Xia Xiang hasn¡¯t agreed yet, Xia Xian has already made a decision for her. Xia Xiang struggled for a long time, thinking that whether she was serving privately or publicly, it was for the good of the princess. Sighing slightly, he went to find Xia Ying.
Xia Xiang thought for a while on the way to find Xia Ying. Trying to hide such a big thing in front of the princess is a great test of endurance. She definitely couldn't bear it, and she had to think of a proper solution. If the princess found out that she was abnormal, there would be a reasonable reason.
Xia Ying knew the cause and effect and was stunned for a long time. Xia Yao may still have expectations for Wen Wan. But Xia Ying knew very well that if the princess knew that Tianlong was lying to her, even if the world was in chaos, the princess would not care. He must have gone to find the two children.
Xia Ying immediately went to find Li Yi. Ask Li Yi if he knows about this. Li Yi knew this when he heard it. He was so angry that he yelled: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused? If the princess finds out, I tell you, even the king of heaven will not be able to keep the princess in the capital. I guarantee that the princess will go find the two children immediately. If the princess knew it, Leave the capital. You should know what will happen if the princess is not in charge of the capital?"
Li Yi immediately said: "It's impossible. It's impossible for the princess to leave the capital."
Xia Ying immediately sneered: "Impossible? I have served the princess for more than twenty years. Do you know the princess's temper better than me? For the princess, two children are more important than her life. If you knew Tianlong wants to take two young masters as his wifeIf you use bait to seduce Qi Yu, the princess will not care about the stability of the world. "Wen Wan has never been dedicated to serving the country. The princess has always only wanted to live her own little life. This is an advantage, but it is also a weakness. The princess also spent a lot of money precisely because she knew that her two children were her fatal weakness. Zhou Zhang moved the child away. Unexpectedly, the enemy did not find this weakness, but his own people took advantage of it.
Li Yi was dumbfounded at the moment. If so, then they really did something stupid. Even if they force the princess not to leave the capital, they can still suppress people and prevent the princess from leaving the capital. But the county owner can go on strike and do nothing. Of course, if you are more ruthless, you will even destroy all their secret guards. !
Xia Ying is also very angry! This matter is extraordinary. It¡¯s okay to plot against the princess, but don¡¯t plot against the two children. No, that's a huge fool. Xia Ying's intention was that the news could only be concealed.
Li Yi quickly agreed. Just kidding, if the princess gets mad and goes to Haikou to rescue people, or ignores government affairs, the world will definitely be turned upside down, and he will be unlucky. Therefore, this matter must be concealed to the end.
Xia Ying knows that Wenwan knows her very well, and if she is not in the right mood, she will definitely be exposed. When I returned home, I deliberately pretended that the old injury had recurred and hid in the backyard to recuperate.
Wenwan is very busy, and the most she can do is take time to see Xia Ying. However, the time for visiting was limited after all, and he had to be busy again to say a few words. In such a short period of time, Wen Wan could not detect Xia Ying's guilty conscience.
Xia Xiang serves Wen Wan closely, and her emotional changes cannot be hidden from Wen Wan's eyes. Wen Wan didn't think much and asked her how she was doing? Xia Xiang didn¡¯t say anything. But his face was very red. He looked embarrassed. After Wen Wan cross-examined him for a long time, he didn't even get a single word out.
Xia Xiang was placed beside Xia Yao to serve her closely after Xia Yao left. Wen Wan was not very familiar with Xia Xiang, but knew that something was wrong with Xia Xiang with her keen sense of smell, but Wen Wan would definitely not think about her son. After all, whoever has nothing to do always thinks about his son.
Wen Wan asked Xia Xian to pay attention. Xia Xian always said that Xia Xiang seemed to have taken a fancy to a captain in the Xiaoqi camp.
Wen Wan was very interested and quickly asked someone to check the details of this sergeant. This person's external conditions are still good. He is good-looking, has a fifth-grade official position, and will be twenty-two in his thirties this year. Even better is that this man is a widower, his wife died two years ago. Xia Xiang is thirty-five this year. He is three years older than this person. The age difference of three years is not very big.
Wen Wan frowned when she saw the back. Age is not an issue, but private life is. This man had two legitimate sons, two legitimate daughters, three concubines, four concubines, and three concubines. It can be said that the house is full of children and women.
Wenwan told Xia Xiang the situation, and Xia Xiang looked very hesitant. Wen Wan thought Xia Xiang was struggling. Express understanding. After all, it¡¯s rare for a man to catch Xia Xiang¡¯s fancy, but it¡¯s someone like this: ¡°What I mean is, I don¡¯t want it anymore. If you really marry such a person, you will have to take care of the housework for him and take care of her children.¡± Marriage, um, and the bunch of concubines in the backyard." Wen Wan didn't even think about whether this person would agree to marry Xia Xiang. But thinking that it would not be worthwhile to marry Xia Xiang. She was not married as a wife, but as a free housekeeper. It's better to forget about marrying such a man. How about being comfortable in the princess's mansion!
The hesitation on Xia Xiang's face was not a struggle, but a vomiting of blood. She was worried that the princess would find out that she was not in a good mood and ask for the reason. So I discussed it with Xia Xian for a long time. In the end, we decided that this reason was the most reliable. Otherwise, let alone a fifth-grade captain, or a second- and third-grade general, she would not give him a second glance.
Xia Xiang hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth: "Princess, I listen to the princess." When she said this, her expression was indescribably entangled and painful.
Wen Wan sighed slightly. She really doesn't approve of this marriage. This lieutenant is a pretty person, his concubines are all young, beautiful and enchanting, and Xia Xiang's appearance can only be considered delicate. Getting older again. He definitely couldn't catch the captain's eyes. One has no feelings and two has no children, even if he has status. I will only respect him. I won¡¯t really love Chongxiaxiang.
Wenwan really hopes that everyone around her will get married. But she knew the cruelty of clarity. After all, Xia Xiang is older, so it is so easy to find a place that suits her needs. It would be better not to marry someone you don't like. In the princess's mansion, Xia Xiang and the others can enjoy their old age in peace. I just worry that they will feel lonely when they get old. It is said that the elderly are most afraid of loneliness.
Wen Wan thought of this and said, "I'm doing this for your own good too. This man is really unmarable. If you can't find the one you want, go to the charity hall to pick up a child and keep him by your side. Then you won't be afraid of being alone when you get old." "
After hearing this, Xia Xiang felt even more guilty. She didn't want to hide it from the princess. However, this is beyond your control. Xia Xiang said with tears in her eyes: "Princess, I will serve you all my life." After saying that, tears rolled down her face.??. This is the first time he has deceived the princess. Xia Xiang really wanted to tell Wen Wan the truth. But thinking about Xia Xian and Xia Ying's warnings, I didn't dare to say anything. I'm afraid that if I say it, it will really cause big trouble.
Wen Wan thought Xia Xiang was struggling to let go, so she sighed softly. Hey, it's rare that Xia Xiang likes a man, but he looks like this, so it's inevitable to feel sad. Wen Wan didn't want to see Xia Xiang so sad. You know, emotions will be contagious: "You go and have a rest. I won't hinder you here." Let Xia Xiang have a good rest. Firstly, it allows Xia Xiang to have a good rest, and secondly, Wenwan doesn't want to be infected with bad situations. Let her continue to be depressed, although the gentle mood has been infected.
After Wen Wan waited for Xia Xian to go out, she immediately found General Lu and asked General Lu to transfer the captain out of the princess' mansion.
General Lu didn¡¯t know where the captain had offended Princess Wenwan. But Princess Wenwan just asked him to be transferred, but didn't say anything else. So this person was asked to guard the empty military camp.
Xia Xiang went to look for Xia Xian after leaving the study. Xia Xian didn't want to either. But at this point, what else can you do besides hiding it. Telling the princess only adds to the burden on the princess.
Xia Xiang wiped her tears and said sadly: "I have been with the princess for so many years, and this is the first time I have hidden it from the princess. It is still such a big thing. I don't know if the princess will not want us anymore after she finds out. "Xia Xiang was really afraid that the princess would find out the truth and get angry at them, so she would drive them all away. After so many years in the princess's mansion, it is in their hearts. The Princess's Mansion is your home. How can I be willing to leave my home? If not, there is really nothing we can do. Xia Xiang was unwilling to hide the truth from the princess. No one can sleep well these days, and looking at the princess makes her feel guilty.
Xia Xian was also depressed, and she didn¡¯t want to hide it. But once the princess knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous: "The problem now is that I don't know whether to hide the news or not. Dong Zhengwei didn't promise me. He said he couldn't deceive the princess." Xia Xian felt depressed. If possible, who would be willing to deceive the princess? There is nothing we can do about this.
Xia Xiang is worried, what to do.
Xia Xian thought for a moment and then said: "No matter what, this matter must be hidden from the princess." Not only for the sake of the court, but also for the sake of the princess, this matter cannot be said.
Xia Xiang has been struggling these days.
After hearing Xia Xian¡¯s explanation, Dong Zhengwei didn¡¯t really want to agree. The princess valued him so much. He didn't want to deceive the princess. Moreover, the decision-making power on this matter is not in his hands. It is up to the princess to choose how to decide.
Xia Xian had no choice but to beg Dong Zhengwei not to tell the princess: "If the princess finds out, the sky will fall. Lord Dong, don't worry, the eldest and second young master will definitely be fine. If not, we will also I don¡¯t dare to hide it from the princess.¡±
Tianlong should not be such a senseless person. Even if he wants to use two children to lure Qi Yu. But with Tianlong's ability, plus Xia Yao and Wuxing, he is not afraid of these people's machinations. Because of this, the three of them had the courage to hide it. Otherwise, if something happens to the children, they will definitely be cut into pieces by the princess.
Dong Zhengwei listened to Xia Xian's words, his face was solemn, and he thought for a long time: "You must be the two young masters who were picked up by the people who took action that night." If it was this person. There should be no problem in bringing the eldest young master and the second young master back.
Dong Zhengwei thought about it for a long time, and it was best that he had no choice but to tell the truth to Wen Wan against his will.
Dong Zhengwei is no better than Xia Xiang and Xia Xian. First of all, Dong Zhengwei has been walking in the world for several years, and has experienced the tragic death of his wife and children. He has also been hunted down countless times, and his sanity is hard to say. Secondly, he is good at tracking and extremely thoughtful. Although he feels guilty when facing Wen Wan. But no flaws were revealed.
Wenwan heard that there is indeed a secret passage. However, the secret of the secret passage had been mastered long ago, so none of the enemies escaped. Nodding gently. This is right. If you say that there is no secret way to Wenwan, you will definitely not believe it. But after being mastered and Tianlong was there, Qi Yu was really killed. It would be nice if she died, she could sleep peacefully.
Wen Wan just spoke, and suddenly thought about it. Before Wen Wan could catch the idea, someone outside shouted loudly: "Princess, Master Chen, please see me."
Wen Wan didn¡¯t have time to wonder whether this matter was a scam.
Wen Wan didn¡¯t know that several people around her took great pains to hide the news about her. Xia Ying comforted the two people and said: "Don't worry. The letter has been sent out. I believe Lord Tianlong will get the letter soon. Knowing the seriousness of this matter, Lord Tianlong will definitely not risk the two children." With the court Compared with his stability, Qi Yu is nothing. Nothing counts.
After two days of being in a daze, Xia Xiang finally returned to normal. Although I am conflicted in my heart, no matter how confused I am, I still have to wait. Xia Xiang only hopes that their speculation is correct. Tianlong may want to take advantage of the two young masters. But I am determined not to risk the lives of the two young masters.?Joke.
Wenwan is marking things on the calendar every day. Wenwan takes the day before the Chinese New Year as the bottom line. Every day I count how many days there are until I can get home.
Mingrui and Mingjin also look forward to the stars and the moon every day, hoping that their mother will send someone to take them home. But after longing and looking forward to it, more than a month has passed, and still no one has come.
Mingjin feels anxious every day. Every day I have to ask the same question repeatedly: "Aunt, uncle, why hasn't Mom sent someone to pick us up?"
Mingrui also hopes to go home early. Mingrui also got the news that the border towns were winning battles frequently. If they didn't go home again. They were afraid that their father would arrive home earlier than them: "Auntie, if not, let's go back by ourselves!" Since they were worried about their safety, they set off on their own.
Xia Yao also hopes to get Wen Wan's personal letter as soon as possible and then return to the capital. After being away for such a long time, Xia Yao was extremely worried when hearing what happened in the capital. Fortunately, everything has passed, but that doesn't stop Xia Yao from still worrying about Wen Wan. In Xia Yao's heart, she has long treated Wen Wan as her biological sister. If it weren't for Wen Wan's strong request this time and the stakes were high, she wouldn't have wanted to take Mingrui and Mingjin to hide in the forest.
Wu Xing is much more rational than Xia Yao. According to Wen Wan, men are always more rational than women. After hearing Mingrui's words, she refused: "Your mother didn't send a letter, so there must be hidden dangers that haven't been eliminated. If we go back rashly, what if something happens? Think about it for yourself, how worried the princess and the general should be. So You¡¯ve been waiting for a long time, are you afraid of waiting a few more days?¡±
Mingrui remained silent. Mingjin didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing this, Xia Yao naturally tried to comfort her: "Don't worry. No matter how late it is, it won't be later than the time for the emperor's master to return to the court. We will definitely be able to return to the capital before the Chinese New Year this year."
Mingrui expressed doubts. It's already mid-October, and the Chinese New Year is still more than two months away. Can they return home before the New Year?
Wuxing said with a smile: "As long as your father can get home before the Chinese New Year, you will definitely be able to get home before the Chinese New Year." The princess has been looking forward to the family reunion! So, it¡¯s not far from the person who was sent.
Wen Wan looked at Xia Xiang's emaciated appearance and couldn't bear it: "Xia Xiang, if you really can't let go, I will protect this match for you. As long as I'm here, they won't dare to do anything to you even if they eat up their ambitions. "Wen Wan can't bear it. It's only been a few days, Xia Xiang doesn't look good, and she's also thin. The real thing is that Yixiao makes people haggard.
Xia Xiang's heart trembled: "Princess, I will not marry. I will never leave the princess's mansion for half a step in this life." Although Xia Xiang kept comforting herself, it was for the good of the princess. But she always felt that she had betrayed the princess. As a subordinate, concealing something and not reporting it would be tantamount to betrayal. But tell the princess that she cannot leave the capital and will be worried about these two children day and night. If you say something unlucky, the princess will really be unable to hold on and fall down.
Xia Xiang has been struggling here these past few days and has been tortured. There were several times when I couldn't help but almost told Wen Wan. But it got stuck at the last moment.
Xia Xiang swore that this was definitely the first and last time. Even if the sky is falling next time, she will not dare to hide it from the princess. Not to mention the daily suffering, just such a thing, no matter whether it is for the princess's benefit or not, is taboo.
Thinking of this, Xia Xiang felt uneasy again. I don¡¯t know if the princess will still want her after this incident. She was unwilling to leave the princess' mansion even to the death.
Wen Wan looked at Xia Xiang's tangled and painful look, and really didn't know what to say: "Qiu Yun and Qiu'e are here. Take a good rest for two days, and wait until you feel better." Wen Wan really couldn't stand it. Xia Xiang looked in pain.
