Xiao Yan pinched his fingertips and his voice was extremely low: "Don't tell others casually that they will stay with him for the rest of their lives."
It is too touching and too easy for people to have delusions. For a moment just now, he really wanted to keep people beside him regardless of it.
Boom-
Thunder suddenly came from the sky that had been dark outside for a long time. After a ray of light, it started to rain heavily in a moment.
The raindrops fell on the railing outside the Yuelitai, making a thunderous sound. The sudden wind and rain flowing on the inner lake beside the Heli Hall made Tang Ning squatting in front of him not hear Xiao Yan's mouth clearly. Words.
Tang Ning looked up and said, "What did Brother Ah, what did you say just now?"
"nothing."
Xiao Yan sighed, feeling in vain.
The wound on his waist was bandaged again. Xiao Yan did not tease Tang Ning again this time, but leaned back on the couch.
Tang Ning sat down from him through the small table in the middle and said, "Your injury has been tossing again and again. You have to let Sister Qin come and see it, and the wound cannot be soaked in water. Sister Qin has repeatedly advised her. Yes, why don't you listen to the doctor's advice?"
Xiao Yan heard this and said, "I forgot today."
Tang Ning glared at him.
Xiao Yankuanzong: "Don't glar, I'll ask Miss Qin to come later."
Seeing the little girl looking at him with suspicion, he took the kettle that had just been poured down by the table and poured some tea left in front of Song Tangning.
"Miss Qin went to the palace today. Even if I want to find someone now, I will definitely ask someone to invite her when she comes back. But why are you suddenly coming to find me at this time?"
Song Tangning was confused for a moment, there was no one from the Imperial Physician Department in the palace, why did Niangzi Qin go to the palace to do? However, before she could think too much, she was distracted by Xiao Yan's words, remembering the serious matter that she had just come to find Xiao Yan to say: "Auntie said she is going back to Prince Cheng's Mansion tomorrow."
Xiao Yan stopped and said, "Go back at this time?"
Song Tangning whispered in a teacup on the table, "I also think my aunt shouldn't go back at this time, but my aunt said that the child in her womb was older, and the old concubine of Prince Cheng's mansion was seriously ill again and again. The royal family sent messages repeatedly Come here, she is not easy to turn a blind eye."
She vaguely knew that her aunt had wanted to go back before, but she had been waiting for the Lu family. Now that Lu Zhao is in prison, Lu Chongyuan is also disgusted by the holy heart. The Lu family is in trouble and has no time to come to find him again in a short period of time. In her trouble, my aunt had no worries and wanted to return to the palace.
She looked a little depressed: "Xie Yin asked someone to send a letter every day, but I can't ask someone to stop me. My aunt is soft-hearted about him."
But when she remembered the mysterious death of her aunt in her previous life, she felt uneasy again. Song Tangning couldn't help but look up at Xiao Yan: "Brother said he would help me check King Cheng's past. Have you found it?"
Xiao Yan pondered: "There are some."
Tang Ning quickly sat upright and heard Xiao Yan say, "Can I tell you before that King Cheng had discussed kinship before he met your aunt?"
Song Tangning nodded: "Brother said it."
Xiao Yan said in a deep voice: "At that time, the object of the marriage to King Cheng was the daughter of General Huo, the governor of Ningzhou, the northern part of the country. The daughter of the Huo family had been summoned to Beijing, and the late emperor had also planned an order to give the marriage. The two families had made a marriage contract. It was only a matter of Xuanzhao that he could implement it, but the Huo family's daughter had an accident and the marriage was left unresolved. After that, King Cheng had discussed marriage twice, all of which were not achieved for various reasons, until King Cheng met him. Princess Cheng fell in love with her at first sight and the two got married."
"Third times of marriage negotiations failed?" Song Tangning instantly grasped the key point: "Do you know why it didn't work?"
"The first time was because the Huo family's daughter was accidentally caught off guard while hunting. The second time was that the woman suffered from a hidden disease. The third time she discussed with King Cheng that woman had an affair with an actor and eloped with someone. I caught someone and died with the actor."
Xiao Yan said indifferently: "Except for the Huo family's incident in the royal hunting ground, everyone knows that the troubles were made, and later, something happened before King Cheng discussed the marriage on the agenda, because most of them were women. It was wrong and not very glorious, so both families begged King Cheng to solve the problem privately and concealed it. Very few people knew about it. "
Song Tangning frowned slightly when he heard this. If it were her before, she might have only sighed that it was too coincidental, but she had doubts about King Cheng, and she also suspected that the death of her aunt in her previous life was related to King Cheng. These so-called coincidences are There are doubts everywhere.
She couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is it an accident or a human being that happened to those three times of marriage?"
Xiao Yan said indifferently: "The time is too long, and the other two families are not in the capital now, and the parties involved have passed away, and there is no way to prove it. However, the people I sent to find the Huo family girl, who was destroyed because of her appearance. He has never been married, and now he is guarding the border of the northern region with General Huo."
"When the people I sent to find her to ask about the incident, she did not say anything about King Cheng. She only said that King Cheng was willing to do this marriage back then and took great care of her. Moreover, the late emperor in the palace and the current one The Queen Mother was very close to her, and she had a very good relationship with several princes at that time, so even if she was about to marry, she still made an exception to go to the royal hunting ground. "
But who knew that something happened when I went there.
Xiao Yan said: "Miss Huo recalled that when something happened to her, the hunting ground was extremely chaotic, but she could be sure that her fall was not an accident, but someone tampered with it."
The Huo girl was originally from a military general and knew some fist and foot skills. She even grew up on horseback in the north. However, when something happened to the hunting ground, she was soft and she didn't use any strength at all.
When she fell off the horse and fainted and woke up, she had already ruined her appearance and things were a foregone conclusion.
The old general Huo wanted to pursue the investigation, but afterwards, no trace of medicine was found in the Huo family's daughter. The horse she was riding had already broken into the imperial tent and was shocked by the sacred carriage after falling off her. Shooting to death by random arrows.
That day, the late emperor was frightened on the hunting ground, and even the palace concubines fainted in fear. The imperial guards, Sima Jian, and the arrangements for Qiu Hunting to kill, followed by the criminals, and then the matter involved the East Palace. The Huo family wanted to pursue the matter but had no evidence, so they could only swallow the bitterness.
Song Tangning was shocked: "It has something to do with Prince Li?"
"It doesn't matter, but someone once said that the Eastern Palace did not want to see King Cheng get help, so he secretly ruined his marriage with the Huo family."
But Xiao Yan knew that this matter had nothing to do with the East Palace.
Xiao Yan said, "At that time, the Eastern Palace had power, there was no need to do such a sinister thing. Moreover, General Huo believed in the prince's character. Seeing that someone had led the disaster to the east and led the position of crown prince, he wanted to use the Huo family as a knife to deal with the prince. He took the initiative to stop pursuing the matter and took Niang Huo away from the capital's right and wrong place."
And this incident at the hunting ground became an accident.
Song Tangning's face became heavy when he heard Xiao Yan's words. If the Huo family's wife had not lie, she was persecuted back then, then she could have taken action at the Royal Hunting Ground and escaped afterwards. How could she be a simple person?
"Can it be King Cheng..."
"It should not be."
Xiao Yan knew what she was guessing, so he directly rejected it: "When King Cheng discussed with the Huo family, there was no accident in Prince Li. At that time, King Cheng was very glorious in the capital, and because he was dissatisfied with the position of Prince, he belonged to others, so he went to the court. The emperor is extremely strong in competing with Prince Li everywhere, and recruiting court officials is also a means of using all means."
"The Huo family holds military power in the north, and this marriage is beneficial to him. If he can get the support of General Huo, he will have the confidence to compete for the throne. Even if he doesn't like the Huo family's daughter, he will not be able to do such a ruthless move."
The lady Huo said it very clearly. When she first entered the capital, King Cheng treated her with great care and took care of her everywhere, and she was already treating her as her bride and introducing powerful women in the capital.
The two knew each other well, and they only had the imperial edict of the late emperor to give the marriage. King Cheng didn't need to cause trouble after making a show.
Song Tangning frowned when he heard this: "Who could that be?"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I don't know who it is. After all, it's hard to find evidence. However, three times of negotiations were discussed, they only attacked the woman, but King Cheng was unscathed. That person would never be the enemy of King Cheng."
