019 New clues in a decade-old case
"I don't know what happened between the female officials, but where is there no fight? Zhu Shanggong has always been a popular man in front of the Princess's Hall. No one dares to do anything to her. Besides, the general can protect this today, what about tomorrow?" Lin Miao disagreed with Zhou Mohuai's approach today. He was too impulsive. "What should I do if this matter spreads? What should I do if His Majesty knows?"
The more critical the moment, the more careful you have to pay attention and be careful in your words and actions.
Seeing that Zhou Mohuai looked irrelevant, Lin Miao wanted to lock him in His Majesty's Jinluan Hall and let him stay honestly until His Majesty announced that the world would be named the emperor.
"This is Chang'an Palace. After I scolded those palace maids, I dare not talk about what happened today, and the people in Chang'an Palace won't do anything about it." Zhou Mohuai looked at Wen Wenlan who was already waiting at the palace gate, "I will explain clearly on Your Majesty."
Zhou Mohuai is waiting for Wen Wenlan at the Chang'an Palace Gate, but today Zhou Mohuai has been delaying the road for a while and walked over the second half, so it was a little late.
"I thought you were not here today, why did you walk here today?" Wen Wenlan glanced at Zhou Mohuai. Lin Miao was the only one next to him, "Let's go back first."
Recently, Wen Wenlan has been busy with the return of the four camps to Beijing, and has almost no free time. In addition, this morning, the Ministry of Rites received documents from Nanzhao and Dongyue at the same time. The envoys from these two countries will arrive in the imperial capital in the future, and the court will become busier.
After lunch, Wen Wenlan didn't have time to take a break and stayed in Donghua Pavilion to read the memorials.
He walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Wen Wenlan's ear. Wen Wenlan stopped writing and glanced at Zhou Mohuai who was reading on the soft couch, "I understand."
Wen Wenlan raised her head and wanted to speak but stopped. She frowned and focused on continuing to review the memorials.
Zhou Mohuai looked up at Wen Wenlan. He lowered his eyes, and his mind was completely out of his hands.
"Your Majesty, Minister of Rites Feng Ru asked for advice." Buyan walked over lightly.
"Feng Rujian? Did he say anything?" He had already made everything clear this morning. Now the Minister of Rites should stay at the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the wedding of the envoys and the eldest princess of the two countries. Why do you come again in the afternoon?
"I'll avoid it first." Zhou Mohuai put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked behind the screen in Donghua Pavilion.
At this time, he should not be involved in court affairs, nor should he let the ministers see him in Jinluan Hall.
Wen Wenlan waved his hand, meaning whatever he wanted.
"Master Feng said that Nanzhao and Dongyue have sent documents again." Wuyan said.
Wen Wenlan breathed a sigh of relief. Dongyue and Nanzhao had sent documents before. Why did the documents come again after half a day? And the time when the two countries delivered documents was so coincidental that the two documents collided together.
These two countries are located on the east and west sides of the Southern Dynasties. Could it be that these two countries are also linked together?
"Present."
Feng Rujian entered Donghua Pavilion, and after seeing the ceremony, he quickly handed over the newly sent documents from Nanzhao and Dongyue.
"Your Majesty, according to the documents, Princess Bairuo of Nanzhao and Prince Zhang Yuanjin of Dongyue will both enter our Southern Dynasties, and they will all arrive in the capital in ten days."
Wen Wenlan opened the document and did write about the envoy who visited this time. There was nothing wrong with Dongyue. Some time ago, Zhang Yuanjin defeated his prince and prince, and got the position of prince. With his temperament, it was normal for him to show off.
But what happened to this Nanzhao Princess? It was because Nanzhao had no princes, so she could send ministers to her. She had never heard of a princess who was sent to another country. When the princess came out, she would marry her.
Wen Wenlan has a bad feeling.
The document did not specify what they were coming.
Perhaps the Southern Dynasties annexed the two southern countries, they came to explore the bottom, or they had other plans.
"I understand. Just try to do what I used to do. You go down." Wen Wenlan shook his head, as if every time the spring and summer are in transition, there are many kinds of anxious things.
Hearing that there was no movement outside, Zhou Mohuai walked out from behind the screen. He glanced at Wen Wenlan, then looked at the gate, and then sat back on the soft couch.
It was quiet all afternoon. After reading the memorial, Wen Wenlan saw Zhou Mohuai still sitting there quietly like a person who was fine, so he walked to Zhou Mohuai.
Zhou Mohuai raised his head and saw that Wen Wenlan still looked faint, but his aura was a little wrong. He put down the book in his hand and pulled Wen Wenlan to sit on his lap.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Mohuai surrounded Wen Wenlan's waist and smiled.
"I ask you, what is your relationship with Zhu Shanggong?" Wen Wenlan gently put his hand on Zhou Mohuai's shoulder.
Zhou Mohuai expected Wen Wenlan to be resentful of this matter, so he tightened his arms and thought about how to tell Wen Wenlan.
"That's right. Actually, An Yu and I have known each other since we were young. We have a good relationship. Have you heard of the Liubai Village incident ten years ago..." Zhou Mohuai lowered his eyes and explained to Wen Wenlan word by word, "At that time, An Yu and I survived by chance, but we were separated soon. It was not until some time ago that I was still alive..."
What Zhou Mohuai said was exactly the same as Feng Si's investigation results. Wen Wenlan gently stroked Zhou Mohuai's face last year, and his movements were extremely gentle.
"Where is the third person now?" Wen Wenlan looked at Zhou Mohuai's eyes. Circles of vortexes seemed to sway in her deep eyes. If she could not get out cleverly, she would have to be sucked into the depths of the vortex, seeking blessings for life and death.
"Shang Yi and Su Jin'er." Zhou Mohuai said softly.
Wen Wenlan suddenly laughed, a faint curve appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she hugged Zhou Mohuai's neck, "They two entered the palace early, Su Jiner followed the empress dowager ten years ago, and Zhu Anyu also entered the palace eight years ago. Where were you during this period?"
Su Jiner entered the palace ten years ago?
Zhou Mohuai repeatedly recalled the scene at that time. At that time, they were in Tingzhou. Just walking, Su Jiner could not have arrived in the capital so quickly. Moreover, Su Jiner fell into the Xiangshui River at that time, so how could she enter the palace so quickly?
"After we escaped, not long after An Yu and Jin'er fell into the Xiang River one after another. I looked for them for a long time, and then..." Zhou Mohuai lowered his head and stopped talking.
Falling into the Xiang River, no wonder Su Jiner was floating on the Xiang River with a driftwood in her arms, and then was seen by Chongjia. Wen Wenlan remembers that those who saw this scene were still silent.
But this happened ten years ago and I can't remember many details.
"When I was Princess Shunlan, I took Chong Jiahe to the Tingzhou waters without saying a word to escape the heat. Su Jiner was floating in the Xiang River at that time and was rescued by Chong Jia after discovering it."
Princess Shunlan?
Zhou Mohuai seemed to remember something. He tried hard to recall the noisy crowd at that time and slowly raised his eyes, "At that time, were you staying in Tingzhouwu City?"
"How do you know?" They stayed in Wucheng for a few days, but after the Liubai Village incident, they immediately left.
After all, Wucheng is too close to Liubai Village, so it may be dangerous to stay there.
"Ah, I guessed." Zhou Mohuai pinched Wen Wenlan's arm.
"Okay, let's get back to the point. Do you know how inappropriate the thing you did this morning?" Wen Wenlan suddenly stood up and looked at Zhou Mohuai from a high point. "You give your chariot to a small female official. What do you want those ministers to think about when you do this? Do you take care of my feelings?"
Zhou Mohuai quickly stood up to pull Wen Wenlan's hand, but Wen Wenlan avoided it.
"I can't watch An Yu being bullied but sit still. But this is the last time. I feel relieved to know that An Yu is still alive. There will definitely be no next time." Zhou Mohuai wanted to grab Wen Wenlan's hand again, "Lanlan."
"You go to the warm room first to reflect." Wen Wenlan took a step back and avoided Zhou Mohuai, "Don't say anything, lead the way for General Zhou."
Zhou Mohuai looked at Wen Wenlan, wanted to speak but stopped, but finally lowered his eyes and went out.
"Before the four camps, don't let Zhou Mohuai run around and ask Lin Miao to watch him well." Wen Wenlan ordered, "Also, send Fengshi to carefully investigate the incident in Liubai Village ten years ago. Now the three survivors are in the palace. Even if you go and investigate, I not only need to know where Zhou Mohuai was going after that incident, but also where the bandit leader in the Liubai Village incident was now."
If this form continues, this unsolved case that has not been clues for ten years should be solved by her.
This major case that caused a sensation in the Southern Dynasty almost caused her mother to abdicate. She remembered that her mother mediated for a long time before quelling the turmoil in the court.
If she could find out the truth during her reign, she would not only comfort her mother's soul in heaven, but also add a beautiful pen to her imperial life.
"Wait, focus on investigating Wucheng. From the Liubai Village incident ten years ago to the time I returned to the palace, I must investigate every detail." Zhou Mohuai must be there at that time, otherwise he would not know that she was in Wucheng at that time. As long as Zhou Mohuai stayed in Wucheng, he would definitely leave traces.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Princess Yuanfeng..." responded without saying a word, "General Zhou is now Princess Yuanfeng's master. If General Zhou is not allowed to leave the warm pavilion, would he ask Princess Yuanfeng to come to Jinluan Hall?"
"No need, just tell Yingyang that something is wrong with the barracks. Zhou Mohuai has left the palace and has not been able to enter the palace to see her for a while." Wen Wenlan raised his hand, "Let Zhou Mohuai reflect on it in the warm pavilion for a few days. No one is allowed to see him, nor are they allowed to reveal to anyone that Zhou Mohuai is staying in Jinluan Hall."
I thought that if Zhou Mohuai stayed in the palace, he would be able to wait peacefully until the day he announced the world. Unexpectedly, Zhu Anyu came out halfway, and the two were childhood sweethearts with deep friendship. It was hard not to think too much about it.
What is this matter for the royal husband who is about to marry to protect other women before he is enthroned? Is it more important to be a small female official than the royal husband's glory and wealth?
She must not let such a degrading thing happen.
"By the way, you go and check again. Why did Zhu Anyu fall in front of Zhou Mohuai's chariot? She did this on purpose. Someone wants Zhu Anyu to fall in front of Zhou Mohuai. This morning, the group of palace maids will be transferred from Shanggong Bureau."
Apart from Zhu Anyu, Su Jiner cannot relax.
After all, Su Jiner's mind is already very obvious.
