There is Room For the Poor Daughter

After interrogating the Hu people, Xiao Yeyang immediately entered the palace.

When the emperor heard that there were two treasures in total, a sneer appeared on his face: "This place in the capital should be left by the Wan family."

"When Wanjia was raided, it was done by Duke Chengen himself. I still remember that after the house was raided, the treasury didn't receive much. At first, I thought it was the Jiang family who embezzled the property of Wanjia, but now I think about it. , probably not found."

Saying that, the emperor looked at Xiao Yeyang: "You said that the prophet Luo family didn't know about the treasures of the Wan family?"

Xiao Yeyang: "I think I should know. Duke Chengen is a man of means. Since he didn't find a treasure in Wanjia, it means that the secret way is not in Wanjia's old house."

"It's not in Wanjia, but there is indeed such a secret passage. Combined with the minister's stalking during this period, and Luo Qiong's return to the Duke of Wei's mansion from time to time, I thought that the secret passage should be in the Duke of Wei's mansion."

The emperor nodded and said with a sneer: "I think that your grandfather gave Wanjia a lot of good things in order to win the favor of Wan Guifei, plus the people's fat and people's cream that Wanjia collected from various places, the wealth accumulated must be a lot. ."

"The Luo family."

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

The Duke of Wei's mansion is one of the few honorable people who came to join him at the beginning of his succession. He has used them a lot over the years, but after so many years, they have never mentioned the treasures of the Ten Thousand Family. If Xiao Ye If Chi doesn't come back, are they going to greedy for these treasures?

Thinking of the impure heart at the beginning of Wei Guo's referendum, the emperor's face became ugly.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at the emperor's face, and was silent for a while before opening his mouth: "Your Majesty, do you want to control Duke Wei's mansion now?"

The emperor shook his head: "Don't panic, the Duke Wei's mansion is right there. If you can't escape, you should just send someone to surveil and investigate the secret passage. The most urgent task is to find Xiao Yechi first."

Xiao Yeyang nodded in agreement, and was about to retreat when he suddenly heard the emperor ask.

"Xiao Yechi really married Princess Tatar?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "In the battle in the northern border, the Tatar royal family was almost killed and injured, and the Tatar tribes were also torn apart. Xiao Yechi should have married the Tatar princess who wanted to gather the Tatars for his own use."

"I heard from the Hu people that Xiao Yechi now has some appealing power on the grasslands. This time when he returned to Beijing to retrieve the treasure, he just wanted to develop and strengthen his own power."

The emperor's face was frozen: "This is a person who has forgotten his roots. He cannot be allowed to develop and grow. This time, he must be caught."

Xiao Yeyang nodded in agreement.

The Duke of Wei's mansion was under strict supervision, and Jin Lingwei's people secretly probed several times, but could not find out where the secret passage was.

The Jingyun Wharf is also not smooth. A few days have passed, and no strange passenger ships have entered the port, and no one has been transporting gold and silver jewelry here.

Xiao Yeyang frowned: "Xiao Yechi should have noticed something different."

Sun Changze: "We have followed what Hu Ren said, and asked him to send Xiao Yechi a biography of flying pigeons every three days. How did he notice it?"

Xiao Yeyang: "A man in black died before. It should be because the man in black didn't go back, which made Xiao Yechi vigilant."

Sun Changze: "What should we do now?"

Xiao Yeyang was silent for a while, and took Sun Changze back to the Four Seasons Villa.

"The clue on Xiao Yechi's side is broken. Now we have to find a breakthrough in Luo Qiong." Xiao Yeyang said to Daohua.

Daohua: "Can I help you?"

Xiao Yeyang: "We've lived in Zhuangzi for a long time, it's time to go back."

Daohua: "Okay, I'll go talk to Yuanyao."

Early the next morning, Xiao Yeyang took Daohua back to Prince Ping's mansion.

Chen Yuan.

After Xiao Yechen heard that Xiao Yeyang and Daohua had returned to the mansion, he was in a good mood because Prince Ping had given him a new ivory ornament, and his face immediately sank.

Luo Qiong told him that the mother concubine was worried about him before she died, and told Luo Qiong to help him fight for the title of the palace.

Xiao Yechen's face showed a look of determination, for the sake of his mother and concubine, and for the sake of his soon-to-be born son, he must also inherit the title of the palace.

"Master."

Luo Qiong walked into the study in a loose dress: "I made a stew of tremella soup and brought you a bowl."

As her stomach is getting bigger and bigger, she is worried that Xiao Yechen finds something wrong. During this time, she avoided him if she could.

But now that Xiao Yeyang and his wife are back, she has to take advantage of the fact that the father and the king are particularly fond of Xiao Yechen because of the death of the mother and concubine, and try to find a way to separate the relationship between the father and the king and Heping Xitang.

Thinking of the child in Luo Qiong's belly, Xiao Yechen finally didn't keep his face towards Luo Qiong: "Let the next person deliver it, you are pregnant, you should rest in the room."

Luo Qiong smiled and said, "I listen to my husband, and I will stay in the room well in the future."

Xiao Yechen's expression became much better, and he took the tremella soup and drank it to save face.

Luo Qiong was silent: "Master, I heard that the second brother and the second sister are back."

Xiao Yechen put down the bowl and looked at Luo Qiong: "What do you want to do?" I have to say, he still knows a little about Luo Qiong and knows that she will not mention the Xiao Yeyang couple for no reason.

Luo Qiong put her hand on her stomach: "Mother and concubine just passed away, we can't get meat and fish on our table."

After hearing this, Xiao Yechen understood: "I see, you can go back to your room and rest."

Luo Qiong nodded with a smile, rubbed her stomach and said, "The child is very good. If he knew that the husband thought about him so much, he would definitely be glad that he was reborn in my belly."

Xiao Yechen's expression softened a bit, and he got up and personally helped Luo Qiong back to the room.

At noon that day, when Luo Qiong was eating lunch, Xueling walked in with a smile: "Girl, there are fish and meat in Pingxitang's meals, this matter was known by the lord, and the lord immediately scolded the second master and the second master severely. Grandma, say they disrespect the dead."

A successful smile appeared on Luo Qiong's face: "What's the second master's reaction?"

Xueling: "Second Master naturally retorted, saying that the princess is not his biological mother, and he will not keep filial piety to him. As soon as these words came out, the prince became more and more angry, even if the second grandmother was rounding the field, he couldn't stop him. The lord walked away."

Luo Qiong listened and ate half a bowl of rice in a good mood.

There is absolutely no need to do earth-shattering events to alienate people's feelings, just a little effort in the usual trivial matters is enough.

I haven't been raised by my side since I was a child. How much affection does my father have for Xiao Yeyang?

After lunch, Luo Qiong was strolling under the porch, and happened to bump into Xiao Yechen who came back from outside.

Luo Qiong greeted Xiao Yechen with a smile on her face, but Xiao Yechen glanced at her indifferently, and then went straight to the room of her favorite concubine.

Xiao Yechen's reaction made Luo Qiong frown a little. It stands to reason that he slandered Xiao Yeyang and his wife. He should be happy: "Go and find out, what's wrong, sir?"

Xueling nodded and stepped back, and soon she came back: "Girl, Gao Fang next to the uncle said that the uncle was in a good mood on the way back, but halfway, the second master stopped the uncle and said a few words, and then the uncle was in a good mood. His face sank, and he was very unhappy."

Luo Qiong frowned, thinking that Yan Yi said something about the wrong month of the child in her stomach before, she couldn't help feeling irritated.

Shouldn't Xiao Yeyang have mentioned this to Xiao Yechen again?

In the concubine's house in the side courtyard, Xiao Yechen sat in front of the window with an expressionless face, constantly recalling what Xiao Yeyang had just said to himself in his mind.

"Xiao Yechen, instead of taking the opportunity to make trouble here, why don't you take a good look at how your mother-in-law died?"

"You fell off the stone steps and died, such a far-fetched reason, you actually believed it."

"As a son of man, if you can't even find out the cause of your own mother's death, then you are a son of man in vain."

"By the way, let me tell you something, the day before your mother-in-law died, it seemed that someone had been sent to follow Luo Qiong."

Xiao Yechen's chest rose and fell sharply, and things that he hadn't thought about before suddenly came to his mind little by little.

Luo Qiong went to the temple to offer incense because of a nightmare, but why did Mrs. Wei Guo also go that day?

Could it be that their mother and daughter had colluded early in the morning?

Also, why did the concubine send someone to follow Luo Qiong?

What did she find?

At this time, the concubine came over with a teacup.

This concubine is the big maid next to Princess Ma. She has served Princess Ma for many years, and she knows very well about Princess Ma's temperament.

Xiao Yechen grabbed the concubine's hand: "Do you know why the concubine suddenly went to the temple to offer incense that day?"

The concubine hesitated for a moment: "Master, the slaves heard that the reason why the princess followed to the temple was to let the midwife of the Ma family touch the belly of the eldest grandmother to confirm how many months old the child in her belly is. "

Xiao Yechen's mind exploded with a 'boom', and his eyes became extremely scarlet.

The concubine was startled when she saw it, and hurriedly reassured her: "Master, this slave and maid also heard about it, and I will have to check it out to find out what happened."

Xiao Yechen slowly calmed down, and then strode out of the door.

"Girl, the uncle is out of the house. It seems that he is going to Ma's house."

Hearing this, Luo Qiong's eyelids jumped fiercely, and she immediately thought of the midwife who was going to touch her stomach that day.

Ma family, midwife

Could it be that Xiao Yechen suspected the cause of his mother's death?

Thinking of Xiao Yeyang's Jin Lingwei's identity, Luo Qiong panicked. Did he find something and then tell Xiao Yechen?

Luo Qiong's head was in a mess. The midwife had already been killed by Big Brother Chi on the spot. If Xiao Yechen knew this, he would definitely be more suspicious of the death of his concubine.

"Go and prepare the carriage, I'm going out of the house."

After speaking, Luo Qiong looked at Xue Qiao again: "You lie on the bed disguised as me, you can't be found until I come back, you know?"

Xue Qiao was startled: "What if the uncle comes back?"

Luo Qiong was silent for a while: "I'll be back soon." After saying that, she asked Xueqiao to change her maid's clothes. After Xueling got the carriage ready, she quickly left the house.

After Xiao Yeyang received the report from the dark guard, the corner of his mouth tickled: "These two couples are both impatient, and they will act so soon."

Government of Wei.

When Mrs. Wei Guogong saw her daughter dressed up as a maid, she was taken aback: "Why are you dressed like this?"

Luo Qiong looked a little flustered: "Xiao Yechen seems to be suspicious of his mother's death."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei Guogong's expression suddenly changed: "Then what should I do? If he really knows, child, you will be finished."

Luo Qiong forced herself to calm down: "Mother, I need your help."

Mrs. Wei Guogong: "You said, what can mother help you with?"

Luo Qiong: "I want to see Brother Chi."

Mrs. Wei Guogong: "How do I know where he is?"

Luo Qiong: "I know how to find him."

The last time we met at the temple, Brother Chi said that he was being watched, and then the contact person in the old Wanjia house was removed, and he himself never entered the city again. Now that she wants to see him, she has to leave the house. The secret passageway went out, and Brother Chi kept someone at the entrance of the secret passage.

"Mother, I'm going to the ancestral hall."

"no!"

Mrs. Wei Guogong refused without thinking, "Your grandfather and father have already made it clear that no one is allowed to approach the ancestral hall except on New Year's Eve."

Luo Qiong was anxious: "Mother, Xiao Yechen is now beginning to suspect the death of the mother-in-law. I have to go to Big Brother Chi to discuss a solution. You don't want to see anything happen to me, do you?"

Madam Wei Guogong nodded helplessly on Luo Qiong's forehead: "You child, if your grandfather and father find out, they will be the first to deal with you."

Luo Qiong's expression changed: "Mother, what do you mean by that?"

Mrs. Wei Guogong didn't say much, and after being silent for a while, she asked the maid to prepare the offering and the fruit, and then Luo Qiong carried it, and the two walked quickly to the ancestral hall.

In the dark, Xiao Yeyang saw with his own eyes that Mrs. Wei Guogong took away the servants of the ancestral hall, and then took Luo Qiong into the Luo family ancestral hall. After a while, Mrs. Wei Guogong came out alone.

"The secret path of the Luo family has been found."

Xiao Yeyang thought that the Luo family was smart. In order not to attract suspicion and attention, there was no secret guard to guard the ancestral hall except for the cleaning servants.

This is convenient for them.

Leaving the two guards to stare outside, Xiao Yeyang took a few guards into the ancestral hall after Mrs. Wei left, and after a while, he found the underground secret door.

In the long, narrow and sturdy secret passage, there are many traces of transportation. From these traces, it can be seen that there are definitely a lot of treasures left by the Wan family.

"These treasures in the secret passage have to be loaded on several ships, right?"

Xiao Yeyang and several people had a better understanding of the honor of Wanjia back then.

Soon, several people followed Luo Qiong, and then they fell far behind.

After half an hour, the secret passage arrived.

I saw Luo Qiong knocking on the secret door lightly and hard three times, and immediately, the secret door was opened from the outside.

Through the door, Xiao Yeyang, who was familiar with all the city gates, recognized the secret passage leading directly to Dongzhimen outside the city at a glance!

"boom!"

Luo Qiong walked out, and the secret passage door was closed again.

Xiao Yeyang took the dark guard forward to investigate, then did nothing, turned around quickly and turned back.

After leaving the Luo Family Ancestral Hall, leaving the two secret guards to continue to stare, Xiao Yeyang took the people straight to Dongzhimen, found the secret passage exit that day, and closely monitored the tea shop guarding the secret passage.

"The secret passage of Duke Wei's mansion is really powerful. It actually leads directly to the outside of the city gate. It is really an excellent escape route."

Luo Qiong came back to the palace when it was getting dark, but Xiao Yechen hadn't come back yet.

Xiao Yechen heard Mrs. Ma say that after Madam Wang was called away by Princess Ma, she never came back. Her heart sank, and she immediately asked the address of Mrs. Wang's family.

Mrs. Wang's family lived in a village on the outskirts of Beijing. When Xiao Yechen came to the door, it was already dark.

"Miss Wang!"

In the farmyard, Xiao Yechen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the servants of the Ma family pointing at a woman and calling out 'Wang Dazi'.

Immediately, Xiao Yechen asked "Wang Fuzi" how Princess Ma and Luo Qiong went to the temple to offer incense.

"That day, the princess asked the old lady to touch the belly of the grandmother of the palace. The grandma of the palace has a special physique. She is only two months pregnant, but it looks like she is more than four months old."

"Because the princess stumbled and fell down the stone ladder, the old lady was afraid that the Mafu would blame me for not being optimistic about the princess, so she didn't dare to go back to the palace."

Xiao Yechen looked at the 'Mother Wang' with burning eyes: "My mother and concubine slipped, did you see it with your own eyes?"

‘Wang Madam’ nodded timidly.

Xiao Yechen: "Where was the eldest grandma at that time?"

‘Pozi Wang’: “Grandma is tired from walking and is resting on the stone bench beside the stone ladder.”

Hearing this, the chill in Xiao Yechen's eyes gradually dissipated.

Madam Wang was from the Ma family, so it was impossible for Luo Qiong to speak.

In this way, Xiao Yeyang should be alienating his relationship with Luo Qiong.

At night, when Xiao Yechen returned to the mansion, seeing Luo Qiong still waiting for him, he rarely felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

The imperial doctor examined the pulse in front of him. He should not have been provoked by Xiao Yeyang to suspect his wife in a few words. Fortunately, he did some investigation in advance and did not have a direct attack.

Otherwise, he is now afraid that, as Xiao Yeyang intended, the relationship with Luo Qiong would become tense.

Seeing the guilt in Xiao Yechen's eyes, Luo Qiong heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking of Xiao Yechi's ability, she felt more and more that she was not wrong.

Out of guilt, Xiao Yechen actually stayed in Luo Qiong's room.

"Don't be nervous, you are pregnant, I won't want you, we will just sleep."

Luo Qiong endured nausea and had to lie beside Xiao Yechen with a smile on his face. During this period, Xiao Yechen wanted to hug her, but she made excuses to avoid her.

If it wasn't for the thought of relying on Xiao Yechen to compete for the title of the palace, she really thought that this person would never appear in front of her.

Luo Qiong couldn't fall asleep until dawn, and it was not until Xiao Yechen got out of bed that his tense body relaxed.

Xiao Yechen had already prepared the draft and was ready to give birth to Prince Ping to sue Xiao Yeyang. Who knows, during the wash, he noticed Xue Qiao.

The morning light was dim and hazy, he felt that this maid was extraordinarily familiar, and some charming pictures could not help but come to his mind.

Pingxi Hall.

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang couldn't help being surprised when they heard that Xiao Yechen was resting in Luo Qiong's room last night.

Daohua tilted her head and looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Is Xiao Yechen too stupid, or Luo Qiong too clever?"

Xiao Yeyang: "It's Xiao Yechi's skill." After speaking, he called the dark guard in.

He came back too late last night, and he didn't inquire about Xiao Yechen's affairs.

When he heard that Xiao Yechen saw 'Wang Fuzi', Xiao Yeyang's eyes suddenly narrowed: "Xiao Yechi is really crouching tiger and hiding dragon beside him."

Daohua quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Mr. Wang has been killed by Xiao Yechi."

Daohua: "Who is the person Xiao Yechen met?"

Xiao Yeyang shrugged: "Who knows."

Daohua suddenly patted Xiao Yeyang's arm: "I see, I have seen it in Master's manuscript, some doctors with good medical skills can not only disguise, but also make human skin masks."

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "I know a lot."

Daohua clicked his tongue twice: "When I first saw it, I thought that Master wrote it in vain, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

The two chapters were posted together, a 5,000-word chapter!
