Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "Chenqie has an Imperial Bodyguard called Hu Wei, he is Chenqie's right-hand man. He used to like one of my palace's maids. Ever since Luo Jin committed suicide, he has been depressed for the past six years. Chenqie wants to take him with me to relieve his boredom. "Shunzhi said," Hu Wei? He is very clever, zhen still has a little impression of him. Speaking of Luo Jin, it is really a pity. She and zhen are related by blood, and she is young and beautiful. Originally, she had a bright future. Zhen still wanted to marry her to some prince's son in the future. Who would have thought that she would commit suicide because of that person? "
When Cheng Jiaxuan entered the palace, she had heard of Yehenara's name, Luo Jin. She knew that she was the niece of Huang Taiji's concubine concubine. When she participated in the Beauty Contest, she volunteered to enter the Snow Song Palace to serve Shen Shiyun. The two were as close as sisters. In the end, because she was seduced by a sorcerer from the Devil Cult, she fell madly in love with him and stole a large amount of confidential information. After she was caught red-handed by Noble Consort Yun, she committed suicide the next day. After hearing the story, she did not feel sorry for Luo Jin. She only felt that the sorcerer from the Devil Cult was a bunch of wretched people. She ruined herself for those bad people. While she was secretly disdaining, her left hand was suddenly pulled. Unexpectedly, the Xuan Shuang pulled her out of the door.
Cheng Jiaxuan was very anxious. Although she was young and inexperienced, she also knew that eavesdropping on other people's conversations was an extremely unbearable act. Moreover, in the imperial family, she could be killed at any time. It was not enough to cover it up in every possible way. Who would take the initiative to throw away their lives? Could it be that a child's actions were not accurate? But right now, trying to cover it up would only make it more conspicuous. She did not dare to carelessly explain. She could only stand uneasily by his side.
The Xuan Shuang generously bowed and said, "Emperor Ah Ma, erchen also wants to go with you." Shen Shiyun cast a glance at him and said with a calm expression, "Xuan Shuang? Why are you in the room? "Xuan Shuang sneered in his heart, thinking," You are really calm, your son needs to learn from you. "Deliberately trying to scare her, he calmly replied," Just now Erchen was outside the Hall and met Imperial Grandmother … "
Shen Shiyun suddenly said, "Xiao Xuan, the flower on your head looks pretty good." Cheng Jiaxuan was really hoping that he would become invisible, but now that he heard the topic was on his head, he was afraid that he was going to be investigated for his offense. His heart was greatly alarmed, he hastily tried to take it off, while repeatedly saying, "Nubi has been impolite, nubi deserves death." Shunzhi laughed and said, "No need to take it off, Zhen thinks you look very good wearing it." Cheng Jiaxuan lowered his head and said, "Thank … thank you very much for Your Majesty's praise …"
Xuan Shuang tried his best to hold back his laughter. This could be considered to be a genuine case of 'evading the topic'. He thought, "In the end, I still won this round. But your son isn't someone who doesn't know what's good for him. He won't make you lose face in front of Emperor Ama. If I don't expose you now, later on I'll have a good bargaining chip to threaten you. " With a smile he continued, "Erchen pays his respect to Imperial Grandmother, but she seems to have a lot on her mind. She did not pay any attention to me and just walked away quickly. Xiao Xuan also took me to admire the flowers. We played outside until we were exhausted, so as soon as we returned to our room, we fell asleep. As soon as I woke up, I heard Emperor Ama was here, so I immediately came to pay my respect. "
Shen Shiyun was suspicious; he knew perfectly well that there was a hidden meaning in his words, but he was unable to discern what it was. Shunzhi did not have that kind of scheme. Seeing Xuan Shuang's courteous manner, he was delighted. He said, "Did you just say that you also want to come with Zhen to the ancestral hall in Jiangnan?"
Xuan Shuang said, "Exactly. Erchen thought that in the Way of Heaven, 'filial piety' is the most important character. Since I was little, all the books I read by the sages also speak the same way. However, Erchen has grown up to this age, unexpectedly I have never paid my respects to my mother's ancestral hall. My actions and words are indeed inconsistent, I feel deeply ashamed. Therefore, I earnestly ask you to come with me. " Shunzhi laughed and said, "You have such filial piety, that's very good. Zhen agrees. But remember, you must not cause any trouble along the way."
Shen Shiyun said, "Your Majesty, please don't listen to his mischief. Chenqie thinks that he is just using this as an excuse to avoid doing his homework …" Xuan Shuang said, "That's not it. Erchen also heard that Xin Bin County's Xing Jing Mausoleum is our dynasty's ancestral mausoleum. Since we are going to pay respects to our ancestors, we must not be biased toward both sides. Erchen advocates that we go first. " Shen Shiyun thought that in this way, they would be able to delay their departure from the Palace a bit longer. There was nothing wrong with that, so he acquiesced. Shunzhi said, "Xuan Shuang's words are reasonable. This is also a reminder to Zhen that no matter what, we must not forget that filial piety is the foundation of a human being."
Cheng Jiaxuan saw that the atmosphere was gradually becoming harmonious. This time he did not need to exert himself to Xuan Shuang, so he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please allow Nubi to accompany you! Nubi has been taking care of Lord Baylor since Nubi was a child. Nubi is worried that Lord Baylor will not be acclimatized to the outside world … "Xuan Shuang heard that Cheng Jiaxuan was finally able to understand the situation. He was very happy and quickly helped to plead," That's right, Emperor Ah Ma. Xiao Xuan will definitely be able to serve everyone very well. Let's bring her along. "
Shen Shiyun said, "Serve what? Wherever you go, you don't forget to put on the airs of Ah Ge. What kind of scandal is this? I think you should also go out and train yourself for a few days. You need to know how to do everything by yourself. Don't always think about relying on others … "
Shunzhi laughed and said, "All right, Zhen knows that you love your son dearly. But Xuan Shuang is still young. If you control him too much, it will not be beneficial to his growth. The descendants of the imperial family must have both ability and integrity, but they are not destined to toil all their lives. Since there is a blessing to be enjoyed, they should know how to enjoy it. Xiao Xuan is Imperial Uncle's adopted daughter. Zhen also does not regard her as an ordinary servant girl. Xuan Shuang usually gets along with her the most. It's also good to have her as his playmate when traveling together. "
Shen Shiyun helplessly said, "Alright, you all love Xuan Shuang dearly. I also don't need to be so kind as to be scolded. But let's make it clear in advance. This time we are taking Xuan Shuang out to broaden his horizons and broaden his horizons. But he cannot fall behind in his homework. When we return to the Palace, he will make up for it. "Xuan Shuang complied, thinking," After leaving the Palace for so long, the homework must be piled up into a small mountain. Hmm, along the way, I must find an opportunity to let Xiao Xuan ask me for help. Then I can seize the opportunity to negotiate with her. "
Cheng Jiaxuan saw Xuan Shuang's sly smile, naturally he knew what kind of crafty idea he was hatching. Inwardly he smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, nubi wants to report to Yifu. I wonder if you would permit me to do so?" Shunzhi was in a good mood, he laughed and said, "Why not? You may go. "" Thank you very much, Your Majesty, "Cheng Jiaxuan said. He straightened his clothes, saluted, and withdrew. Shunzhi continued to discuss the list of accompanying officials with Shen Shiyun.
Early the next morning, Cheng Jiaxuan was led by several Imperial Bodyguards to the Prince Regent's Mansion. Everybody pulled out several chairs for her, spread out their hands, and then withdrew, closing the door behind them. Cheng Jiaxuan timidly called out, "Yifu." "Um," Dorgon said, "Sit anywhere you like." He had not been on the battlefield for six years, yet he held all the power in the imperial court in his hands. In the past, some people called him the 'Uncrowned King', but now he was on another level.
Cheng Jiaxuan slowly sat down, her eyes staring at her toes, her fingers twisting the buttons of her clothes. Dorgon was silent for a moment, and then he said, "At that time, benwang did everything possible to send you into the Snow Song Palace. Do you know what my intention was?"
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Yifu used me as an informant, placing me by Noble Consort Yun's side, so that I can report her movements to Your Majesty in time." "That's right," Dorgon said, "This woman is very restless, she is not a small hindrance to benwang's control of the political power. I have to be clear about her every move first, so that I can formulate a countermeasure. "" Yes, "Cheng Jiaxuan replied.
Dorgon said, "I heard that His Majesty's plan to travel incognito was based on Noble Consort Yun's proposal, wasn't it? Benwang is very clear that she could not possibly have such refined interest, so what was the reason? "Cheng Jiaxuan said," She was entrusted by the Empress Dowager to find a way to send His Majesty away. "Dorgon's countenance sank." What did the Empress Dowager say? "
He asked. Cheng Jiaxuan was also a smart person, she said in her heart, "This matter is related to you, you must not want me to know too much, so I can only pretend to be ignorant." She replied, "Empress Dowager Niangniang did not say it clearly, she only said, 'It's that matter, you also know about it', as if what she was talking about could only be understood, but not explained. But it sounds like it involves a lot of people, otherwise Empress Dowager Niangniang would not be this humble. "
Dorgon's ice-cold gaze examined Cheng Jiaxuan from top to bottom. He saw her pair of clear eyes, it did not seem like he was there. He also thought that the Empress Dowager was very cautious in handling matters, it was impossible for her to carelessly talk about this kind of life and death matter. He had already heard from his spies that the Emperor intended to thoroughly investigate the cause of his father emperor's death, but the Empress Dowager did not dare to discuss it with him to avoid arousing suspicion. It's just that since the Noble Consort Yun was able to find out the secret before entering the Great Wall, she must have spent a lot of effort to investigate it. But he could not guess what the Empress Dowager Niangniang's intention was, which made it even more mysterious and hard to predict. He hesitantly said, "The Noble Consort Yun agreed? She did not mention any other condition? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "She only asked Empress Dowager Niangniang to treat her as her own, and not to interfere with her and His Majesty's love affair. Other than that, she did not ask for anything else." Dorgon felt even more that the situation was strange. He said, "As the saying goes, one does not wake up early if there is no benefit. The Noble Consort Yun is definitely not someone who is easy to negotiate with … could it be that it has something to do with the 'Seven Evils Treasure'?" Cheng Jiaxuan had heard him mention the 'Seven Evils Treasure' many times, so she had some impression in her mind, but she did not know what he was referring to. Thereupon she asked, "What are those 'Seven Evils Treasure'? Could you please tell your daughter in detail? "
Dorgon himself only knew half of it. Earlier on he had searched everywhere before he found out about the existence of these seven ancient treasures. Speaking about the details, his knowledge was not as extensive as Cheng Jiaxuan's. But in front of his adopted daughter, he had to fight for some face. With a straight face he said, "Ben Wang will tell you in the future, but now is not the time. Other than urging His Majesty to go to the ancestral hall in Jiangnan, where else did the Noble Consort Yun suggest they go? "Cheng Jiaxuan thought for a moment and then said," It seems … it seems to be the Xing Jing Mausoleum … "
Dorgon's spirit was aroused. "That's it!" He said, "Sure enough, they are after the Seven Evils Treasure! Xiao Xuan, Ben Wang is now giving you an important mission. When you arrive at the old capital of Hetuala, take advantage of the fact that nobody is paying attention to look for the Zhao Clan Temple. There is an ancient tomb underground. That is Prince Heshuo Zhuang's mausoleum, and also the real location of his remains. I think we will be able to find some valuable things in the Hall of the Dead … "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "It's just an ancient tomb, what's so special about it? We are not thieves who specialize in stealing artifacts. "The tomb would definitely be cold and damp. Just thinking about it made his heart filled with disgust.
Dorgon said, "You really don't know how to use your brain. Why don't you think about it? If there's nothing special about the ancient tomb, why would it be secretly built under the ancestral hall? Everyone knows that the Dongjing Mausoleum is only used as a cenotaph. This is also very strange … Six years ago, Dodo was vigorously investigating Prince Zhuang's life. Usually, us two brothers can talk about anything, but this time he is different from his usual self. He is doing it all in private. There must be something wrong with this. Ben Wang has suffered untold hardships and finally found some clues from the information he left behind … "He had accidentally revealed the limited secret he knew. Cheng Jiaxuan already understood, but he pretended not to pay attention.
Dorgon said, "That's right. Based on your relationship with Ben Wang, Noble Consort Yun probably won't trust you wholeheartedly either. "Daughter understands," Cheng Jiaxuan said, "All your actions must start from her son. You must make him feel that in the Imperial Palace, there are too many people involved, and only the two of you are on the same boat." Lord Baylor really trusts me now. If he has any idea in his heart, he would rather not be honest with Noble Consort Yun than hide it from me. "
Dorgon said, "That's good. You have stayed here for too long. Don't arouse suspicion. Let's go back. When the time comes, you should know what to do, right? " Cheng Jiaxuan stood up and said, "Yifu has given daughter a new lease of life. To serve you, daughter is willing to repay you with this life of mine." She had already walked to the door. She couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Yifu, my brother …"
