The secret guard: "The ministers who spoke at the court today are mostly peacemakers, and they should be unwilling to reconcile Mr. Xie's military exploits in the northern border."
Click.
Yan Yutang cut off the last flower branch, turned around with a cold face, opened her lips and repeated: "Not reconciled? Why are they not reconciled? Are they not reconciled if they don't follow their wishes? Then I don't mind giving them more trouble. "
The dark guard nodded, understood what Yan Yutang meant, and after explaining a few more things, he paused for a while and brought up the last thing...
Yan Yutang: "You mean that Xie Mingyuan is monitoring the Xie family?"
The secret agent of Xie Mingyuan had already told her about Xie Mingyuan's method. She was not surprised at first, but he didn't do anything specifically, so she didn't care about it.
"Surveying the Xie family... Is there something wrong with the Xie family?" Yan Yutang asked.
She knew that the hidden guards would not be aimless, but it was reasonable for Xie Mingyuan to monitor Xie's family, as they did what they did, they didn't monitor.
"There is something wrong. Huayue Tower's monitoring level of Xie's family is too high. The manpower and material resources invested, including the method of message transmission, are three or four times more thorough than other powerful families in Xijing. Even the people in the palace are not so careful. Shangxin, I asked the person who was watching the Xie Mansion, and he said that there is nothing unusual about the Xie Mansion."
Hearing this, Yan Yutang understood the meaning of the hidden guard: "You suspect that someone in the Xie Mansion is planning an unusual event. This matter was discovered by Xie Mingyuan, so he deployed a careful investigation of the news of the Xie Mansion."
The dark guard nodded: "Yes, this subordinate has such doubts."
Yan Yutang bent over, picked up a section of begonia flower branch, and said in a light tone: "Xie's mansion, don't act rashly, Xie Mingyuan is a smart man, he will take the initiative to come to me. As for the matter of facing up, the Xie family and his son rubbed against Xie Fanghan, who is as big as Xie Fanghan." Light, they should also contribute their efforts."
……
It was three days after Xie Mingyuan learned that the news had been robbed.
"You're only telling me about such an important matter now?" It was rare for him to lose his temper. The spy who came to report lowered his head, not daring to take a breath.
Xie Mingyuan's attractive peach blossom eyes were covered with frost. He was busy cleaning up some traces these days, and he didn't care about Xijing for a while. He didn't expect that something happened in just a few days.
He sat on the chair and rubbed his brows.Xiaohua was sent by him to the northern border to protect Xie Fanghan. She was not here, so she was much slower to deal with many things, and even this time someone took advantage of her.
Fortunately, it was his "daughter-in-law" who stole the news. There is still room for maneuver in this matter, but he is afraid that he will go to meet his "daughter-in-law" in person. Can he hide the Xie family's matter? After a while, what he is most worried about now is that things will continue to evolve and become more complicated.
"Send a message over there, I want to see the fifth princess." He ordered the people below.
Seeing that Xie Mingyuan had no intention of punishing him, the interrogator quickly responded, got up and left quickly, for fear that Xie Mingyuan would regret it if he was too late.
After Yan Yutang received the news the next day, she nodded in understanding and agreed to go to the appointment.
At that time, the situation of Xie's father and son in the court was not so miserable. Under Yan Yutang's instruction, the master and faction thought that the old stories about their family were revealed because Xie's father and son were supporting Xie Fanghan. Staring still dare not easily order to find out who is "framing" them.
There are too many people staring at them. If they reveal some private power at this time, it will only make those who pay attention to them stare at them even more.
Xie Mingtao has been impeached in court for three consecutive days, his face turned dark, but he dared not speak out.
Grand Master Xie's complexion is also not good, he has been "Buddha" for many years, and he can hardly remember the last time someone targeted him.
Xie Mingyuan was one of the few people who knew that Xie's father and son were "defeated", and he was more and more satisfied with this "daughter-in-law" if he could make Xie's father and son grit their teeth and suffer this loss.
But after the two met, he began to worry about his daughter.
Yan Yutang was beyond his expectation.
It's not that he doesn't have information about the prince and princess of the court, but no matter how the people in front of him look at it, it has nothing to do with the word "moderate" reported by the spies.
Either the spy was bought by someone, or this person had been hiding his clumsiness before.
Xie Mingyuan considered the latter to be more reliable considering the successive waves in Xijing recently.
But then again, what is the reason for a person who has been hiding for so long to suddenly show his fangs?Previously, it was reported in Xijing that the princess was going to be sent to Dai Viet for marriage. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the fifth princess must be sent to be sent. Under such circumstances, she did not see anything. Could it be for Xie Fanghan this time?
"Uncle Xie asked me to come out, what did you want to say?" Yan Yutang looked at those peach eyes that were completely different from Xie Fanghan's, and her tone was not too turbulent.
As expected of the person all the women in Xijing yearn for, Xie Mingyuan's skin is indeed very good.
But in her opinion...
Yan Yutang gently put down the teacup, and looked at Xie Mingyuan calmly. She still liked Xie Fanghan's appearance more.
"Your Highness the Fifth Highness, this is a shame for me." Xie Mingyuan replied.
Yan Yutang smiled gently, with a pun: "No one in Xijing knows that Xie Fanghan went out for me."
Xie Mingyuan frowned and immediately flattened it again. She looked at Yan Yutang seriously, trying to distinguish the truth from what she said.
He suddenly thought that the body of Xie Fanghan's daughter fell into the hands of such a shrewd person. If Yan Yutang wanted it, Xie Fanghan would never be able to turn over in his life.
He regretted it, he didn't mind that Xie Fanghan liked women as much as his mother did, but this Fifth Highness really worried him.
"Uncle Xie seems to be worried." Yan Yutang still spoke at a leisurely pace.
Xie Mingyuan suppressed his emotions, and calmly brought the topic to the Xie family: "Compared to the matter of the Xie family, His Highness the Fifth Highness has already noticed."
Yan Yutang said bluntly: "I don't know too much. If I hadn't discovered Uncle Xie's abnormal behavior, I wouldn't have noticed it for a while."
Xie Mingyuan continued to probe: "Then I don't know what your Highness's plan is?"
Yan Yutang asked back, "Uncle Xie, what do you want me to do?"
"Don't dare to do it." Although Xie Mingyuan said so, he still raised the condition without hesitation: "If your highness believes it, please don't meddle in this matter for the time being, so as not to startle the snake."
Yan Yutang smiled, but her tone suddenly changed: "Then I don't know what capacity Uncle Xie used to negotiate this condition with me?"
Xie Mingyuan straightened his expression, and his expression was rarely serious: "Your Highness may wish to speak directly if you have any request."
That's the good thing about dealing with smart people.
Yan Yutang asked straightforwardly: "I just want to know one thing. How many people know Xie Fanghan's identity?"
Xie Mingyuan's pupils shrank slightly. He never expected that Yan Yutang would know about this. Could it be that Xie Fanghan had already told her?
wrong!
Xie Mingyuan quickly calmed down.
Although he didn't stay with Xie Fanghan for a long time, he still knew her habits and ways of doing things quite well, and she wouldn't say such important things easily unless there was an accident or... Yan Yutang It's just a guess, it's a lie.
Although the matter of Xie's family is important, compared with Xie Fanghan... Xie Mingyuan weighed it several times in his heart, and after making up his mind, he put on the previous casual smile on his face.
Xie Mingyuan: "Xie doesn't understand what His Highness Fifth Highness means, what is my son's identity?"
Yan Yutang's gaze met Xie Mingyuan's. When Xie Mingyuan was serious, his peachy eyes faded, leaving only the cleanness of a pond lotus. Although Xie Fanghan's facial features were not like his, but when he was serious, he felt exactly the same as him.
Her mood improved a little for no reason, and she lost the thought of continuing to "scare" Xie Mingyuan. She opened her lips and said, "The day the three kings forced the palace, Xie Fanghan exposed his identity to save me."
Xie Mingyuan lowered his eyes and remained silent, he was now in a dilemma.
Yan Yutang thought about it and slowly increased the weight and said to him: "A few days ago, my father handed over the secret agent of the inner court to this palace. Only this palace can help her keep this secret of Xie Fanghan's identity. Uncle Xie might as well think about it carefully." .”
As soon as the words "big inner secret agent" came out, Xie Mingyuan's face couldn't hold back.
He had also thought about it before, in Huayue Tower, Xiaohua was the only one who went north by herself, but in the hands of Yan Yutang's secret guards, she couldn't get her any favors at all.
Speaking of this, Xie Mingyuan also gave up his idea of stalemate, Yan Yutang already had doubts, even if he carried it through today, with the eunuch's spies, Xie Fanghan's identity would not be concealed.
He thought for a while and wanted to point out the insiders one by one: "At Xie's house, there is only one nanny who knows, and that is the old man from the General's Mansion who followed Wei Xun. It is believable that Mr. Wei also knows, and there is Xiao Hua."
The extremely incongruous name caught Yan Yutang's attention.
She repeated those two words in cadence: "Xiaohua?"
Xie Mingyuan didn't understand the deep meaning in her words, and explained aloud: "He is an orphan. He was adopted by me before he could remember. He has good skills and has been helping me take care of Huayue Tower."
Yan Yutang continued to ask in the usual tone: "Then where is she now?"
Xie Mingyuan replied truthfully: "I asked her to go to the northern border. Fang Han's identity cannot be revealed. Although the Zhenbei Army is full of old men, it should not be taken lightly."
Yan Yutang smiled, very lightly and beautifully, Xie Mingyuan was at a loss as to why the Fifth Highness suddenly showed his face.
Yan Yutang's secret guard, who was guarding the door and saw the whole process, silently gave Xie Mingyuan a "good for himself" look.
Yan Yutang quickly restrained her emotions, and directly pointed out the crux of the problem: "People from the Xie family don't even know her identity?"
Anyway, Xie Fanghan's surname is always Xie, and she has been living in Xie's residence. After all these years, she was able to hide everything from my family. There must be some reason for this.
Xie Mingyuan's pretty brows and eyes were wrinkled together, adding a third of melancholy.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Yan Yutang knew it was not a trivial matter.
Xie Mingyuan's expression changed a few times, but finally he told Yan Yutang the truth: "Wei Xi is Fang Han's mother, and the Xie family cannot escape her early death."
"Feel sorry."
Yan Yutang said in a low voice.
Although Xie Mingyuan only said a few words, the struggle and hatred in his words were undoubtedly revealed.
When mentioning his dead wife, Xie Mingyuan's expression also turned cold: "Your Highness, I have something to ask."
Yan Yutang nodded to signal him to speak bluntly.
Xie Mingyuan looked at Yan Yutang seriously and said indifferently: "Your Highness, please continue to contain the courtiers and anger Grand Master Xie and Sir Xie."
Yan Yutang subconsciously wanted to ask the reason, but after meeting Xie Mingyuan's eyes, the words on his lips changed to something else:
"Did you do this for the Xie family, for Xie Fanghan, or for yourself?"
Xie Mingyuan lowered his head and held the teacup, his slender fingers walked along the patterns on the cup.
"Your Highness's question, I am sorry that it is difficult to give an answer." Xie Mingyuan's voice was very soft: "Whether it's Xie Fanghan or me, in the end we are still Xie's family."
"so……"
"I just want to find a way to pick Fang Han out, so that others can be picked out of Xie's house completely and completely speechless."
