It's night.The clear moonlight sprinkled like water, sprinkled with silver light.The courtyard in front of the palace was lit up at the moment.Surrounded by glazed lamps, the stone carving Xuanwu is placed on a transparent glazed platform, and the cyan turtle shell is dotted with golden light.Next to it was a glass basin that looked like a turtle shell that had been specially made on the side of the glaze field, about the size of a person's hands around it, and the top of the disc had been crossed with secret hemp silver wires, intertwined into a net.Wei Xi pinched a large string of silver wires tied to the size of rice grains at the end of his hand, and was slowly synchronizing the gold beads into the water in front of him according to the distribution of golden particles in the stone carving Xuanwu.Distance, height and height, all have to be in the right proportions.This busyness was busy until the middle of the night, Zong Xu had already been pushed to the dormitory by Wei Xi to sleep, and the four jewels couldn't hold back being waved back by Wei Xi, leaving only Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba who could still stay up.When the last gold bead was put away, Wei Xi slowly wound the silver wire, picked up the stone carving Xuanwu and examined it carefully, and then waved his hand to Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, "Freeze the water." ”Under the action of saltpeter, the water soaked in gold beads slowly solidified into transparent ice cubes, which also fixed those gold beads inside.Wei Xi quietly waited for this last step to be completed, and closed his palms, "It's done." ”Xiao Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, "I've been busy since the afternoon, and I've been busy until now, Niangniang go and rest, I'll take turns watching with Xiao Ba." ”Wei Xi nodded, put the stone carving Xuanwu aside and put it away in the box, knocked down the glass disc again, and blinked his red eyes, "You must look at it." ”Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba Zheng nodded emphatically.They all see the hard work that Niangniang has paid for such a thing, and they have to be optimistic about it desperately!
Back in the dormitory, Wei Xi took off his robe directly and climbed into bed, and when he was about to turn over Zong Xu, he noticed the pair of sparkling eyes on the top of his head.The movement suddenly froze, "Isn't Your Majesty asleep yet?"
”"Just woke up."
Zong Xu stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Wei Xi's waist and gently put the person on the inside of the bed, and then withdrew a hand to cover Wei Xi's eyes, "Sleep." ”Wei Xi obediently closed his eyes, "Your Majesty will go back to sleep soon." ”Zong Xu closed his eyes with a soft hum.There was no one by his side before, how could he sleep.Early the next morning, Zong Xu Lei woke up on time without moving, looked at Wei Xi, who was still sleeping soundly on his side, and quietly got up and went to the outer hall to wash and dress, and when he arrived at the front hall, he saw the glass disc guarded by Xiaoba.Hachi turned around when he heard footsteps, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”Zong Xu raised his hand towards her and walked to the glass disc.The water in the glass disc has formed a transparent ice, and the gold beads are staggered and fixed in the ice, and there are silver wires connected to them, which are fixed to the grid above the disk.If you don't look at anything else, it looks like a beautiful ornament.This is something that his queen worked hard until midnight to make.Zong Xu looked at it quietly for a while, but he couldn't see where the arrangement of those gold beads was regular.Seeing that the time for the morning dynasty was coming, he had to beckon and leave with Wu Huan.Hachi stood aside and watched the bright yellow back walk away, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.The palace maids and eunuchs in Fengyi Palace all knew that their queen was going to sleep lazily today, and they quietly didn't make a sound when they walked, in such an absolutely quiet environment, Wei Xi slept directly until lunchtime.After waking up, I finally regained my old energy.I had lunch with Zong Xu who came back, and I took the glass basin she had worked so hard to make to the imperial study.So Zong Xu spent all afternoon watching his queen walk around the glass basin with a pen and paper.There were a few times when he called people and didn't get a response, which was just funny and helpless.This lasted for three days.He was reviewing the fold when he heard a snap next to him, and a red pen in his hand was beaten, leaving a red and bright tail.Turning his head to look over, he saw that Wei Xi had changed his previous serious and relaxed appearance, and then raised his eyebrows, "Xixi, is this over?"
”"Not yet, but the most important step has been completed."
Wei Xi walked over as he spoke, put down the thick stack of paper in his hand, and said with flying eyebrows, "With the data, the next thing is to calculate what kind of rules there are between them." ”Zong Xu stretched out his hand to make room for the imperial case, and asked Wei Xi to put down the stack of papers, "Don't be busy, take a rest first." ”Wei Xi also planned to take a good rest.In the past three days, in addition to eating and sleeping, she has basically spent the rest of the time calculating, and now she is also dizzy, and it is really time to rest."
Let's go to the little garden."
Wei Xi nodded, and just as he was about to get up, the guards hurriedly came in, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Lord Wen is here." ”Wei Xi sat back when he heard this.After Wen Jiuming came in to greet him, Wei Xi asked; "Lord Wen came here this time, is it to see me, or to see Your Majesty?""
Back to Niangniang, Weichen is here to see you and Your Majesty.""
Oh," Wei Xi raised an eyebrow, "Is it Yixue's business?"
”"Exactly."
Wen Jiuming arched his hand, "This morning, a few people from the Qinghe Garden were sent to fill in a well that had already dried up, and one of them thought that the Qinghe Garden was a prince's manor, and there might be some gold and silver treasures under this well, so he secretly went down the well, but he didn't find any gold and silver treasures underneath, but he found a secret passage." ”Wei Xi sat up slightly straight when he heard this, and even Zong Xu's face had a touch of interest."
Where does the secret passage lead?""
To an ordinary merchant in the city.""
Ordinary?"
The secret passage is connected to the favorite manor of a deceased prince, so it can't be ordinary."
Weichen did a rough investigation before entering the palace, the merchant's family does have some wealth, and the male owner has passed away, and he is currently his wife in charge, running a cloth village specializing in ordinary people's business, the business is not bad, and there are a pair of children under his knees, because His Majesty announced in the court that the merchant family can also participate in the imperial examination, and the son of the merchant's family is also preparing to participate in this year's county examination."
Zong Xu was a little more clear, "I'm afraid that the three of them didn't know about the secret passage, right?"
”"Back to Your Majesty, it is that our people came out of the dry well of that merchant, and found that the courtyard where the dry well was located had not been inhabited for a long time, and there was no one in it, so it was very desolate, so it did not disturb the family."
Zong Xu wrote an edict and handed it to Wuhuan and handed it to Wen Jiuming."
Aiqing went to the Criminal Department and asked Su Qi to check this secret passage.""
Wechen obeys."
After Wen Jiuming retired and left, Wei Xi took Zong Xu to the small garden before asking, "What does Your Majesty think that secret passage is for?"
”"The secret passage is secret, and it was only discovered after the death of that Duan Wangye, which shows that few people can know about the existence of this secret passage.The more secretive something is, the more likely it is to hide a bigger secret.But I can't say for sure now, let's see what Su Qi can find out. ”Wei Xi couldn't help but open his mind, "Could it be the place where the prince had a secret meeting with the beautiful woman back then, or is there some unknown gold and silver treasure hidden?"
”Zong Xu couldn't help but hook his lips, "It's possible, but I still have an idea." ”"What thoughts?""
I have read the records of the royal family of the Dayong dynasties, this Duan Wang Ye was talented since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and he was deeply loved by the emperor at that time, but he died suddenly at the age when he should have done something about it, and he was withdrawn from the throne after his death.And after his death, the emperor at that time turned around and made the crown prince within a few days.Among them, does Xi Xi feel strange?
”Wei Xi nodded thoughtfully, "It does feel like a bit of an inside place." ”"So I also boldly speculated that the emperor's love for King Duan may not be true, and King Duan may have noticed it, so he was ready to strike first, but in the end he failed to fight the emperor, which should also be the most reasonable explanation for his King Duan's throne being withdrawn.And that secret passage may be the place where Duan Wang Ye secretly raised his staff.Being in the royal family, everyone's death is not simple. ”Wei Xi listened to Zong Xu's bland words, and could somewhat imagine the thrilling scene at the beginning, "Your Majesty's guess is indeed much more reliable than my guess." ”"It still depends on what secret old things Su Qi can find out from such a secret passage."
Penal Department.After reading the edict brought by Wen Jiuming, Su Qi immediately got up and ordered a few subordinates, "Lord Wen, let's leave and go to the secret passage to explore." ”Wen Jiuming also didn't expect the speed of Lord Su in front of him to be so thunderous, so he was stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly, "Xiaguan is here to lead the way for Lord Su." ”On the way to Qinghe Garden, Su Qi was also asking Wen Jiuming, "Lord Wen may have seen the people living in that merchant?"
”"No," Wen Jiuming shook his head, "I only quietly checked the basic situation of that family, and I haven't alarmed that family."
In addition, the teenager from that family is also going to take a scientific examination, and the lower official is also thinking that it will inevitably affect his participation in the scientific examination, so he is currently only ordering a few people to watch in the dark. ”"Scientific expedition?"
Su Qi frowned, "This matter is bound to interrogate that family, and since this is the case, we can only find a way to bypass that young man." ”As he spoke, he arrived at the Qinghe Garden.Now the Qinghe Garden is in the critical stage of construction, and the sand, stone and wood are stacked everywhere, and when you reach the door, you have to dismount and stop, and walk in, "Now the place where the dry well is located has been sealed off, and the craftsmen who work in the Qinghe Garden have also been strictly sealed." ”Su Qi listened and nodded, "Before I found out why this secret passage was used, the seal was right. ”"The dry well is just ahead," Wen Jiuming stretched out his hand and pointed to the courtyard in a corner.Su Qi's pace quickened a little, and the first thing he saw after entering the courtyard was on the well platform under a tree in front of him.------ digression------I'm sorry readers, baby, yesterday eleven here some things were delayed and didn't have time to code words, this is even later, the next one will be at noon, I'm very sorry'
