Chapter 777

Walking out of the house, I saw hoarfrost condensed in the yard, like a piece of white rice paper spread out; the roof was also covered with a thin layer of jade chips, like a white blanket covering it.

The scenery is beautiful, but it is not beautiful when the wind blows on the body. The frosty wind was the most piercing, and Yuxi couldn't help shivering: "It's getting cold again today." The air she blew turned white.

Meilan nodded and said, "Yes, it's getting colder every day." It's rare enough for such a cold king to insist on coming in at night and back in the morning. It's just that Meilan dare not speak well of Yunqing in front of Yuxi.

In the morning, Yuxi was reading a book in the room, when she saw Meilan walk in with a smile on her face and said: "Princess, the lord sent someone to bring pastries over."

Yuxi looked at the food box in Meilan's hand, and said: "I'm afraid this pastry is already cold, go to reheat it and send it to Ah Hao and the others." Yuxi also eats pastries, but they eat less, at most two at a time. block like this.

Mei Lan said: "Princess, Xu Huwei said that the prince personally bought it for the concubine to eat. Concubine, this cake is still hot and can be eaten now."

When Yuxi heard this, she said to herself: "This is really the sun coming out from the west." Except that Yunqing accompanied her to the store to buy jewelry when she first got married, she has never bought anything for her in these years Things, even if she came back from the outside to give her things, they were all bought by the people below. Yuxi knew that he was busy, but she didn't pick any thorns for this matter.

Seeing that Yuxi did not object, Meilan immediately took out the cakes from the food box. I saw that this dish of pastry was shaped like a plum blossom, and it was golden in color. It looked very appetizing just by looking at the shape.

Yu Xi took a piece and took a bite, the taste was sweet but not greasy, soft and delicious. After eating one piece, Yuxi took another piece and nodded and said: "It tastes good, take it to Shi Ziye and the second princess to taste!" This dish is not much, and each person can only get two or three pieces. .

Mei Lan said: "Since the princess thinks it's delicious, let Mama Bai try it too, maybe Mama Bai can make it after eating it!"

Yuxi shook her head and said, "I've eaten a lot of plum cakes, but none of them are so delicious. If I'm not wrong, this cake should have a unique recipe." Mama Bai has studied cooking skills over the years, and the taste of the dishes is getting better and better. The better, but this pastry lacks craftsmanship, it is difficult for her to make such a delicate pastry. Yu Xi didn't want to embarrass her anymore.

Upon hearing this, Mei Lan said with a smile, "It's really rare for the prince to find such delicious cakes."

Yu Xi chuckled, it's not that easy to calm her down with just a plate of pastries: "Go ahead!"

As soon as Yu Xi picked up the book, Zi Jin came in: "Princess, there is a letter from Jiangnan." After speaking, she gave Yu Xi the two letters in hand.

Of these two letters, one was written by Yang Duoming, and the other was written by Han Jianming. Yang Duoming mainly talked about Liu Yi's assassination and rescue by Yu Cong's concubine. Han Jianming's letter was all about government affairs and the reaction of officials and literati to next year's scientific examination. He didn't mention anything about the Liu family.

Yu Xi put the letter by the table, and said with a light smile, "It's interesting." Mrs. Liu was hunted down, and was rescued by Yu Cong's concubine. How could there be so many coincidences in this world!

Zijin did not speak.

Yu Xi thought for a while and asked, "Where is Yu Cong's wife, Mrs. Lin?" It has been more than a month since Mrs. Lin went to Jiangnan, but Yang Duoming did not mention her in the letter, which shows that Mrs. Lin has not yet reached her goal. It's Jiangnan.

Zijin is really not clear about this.

Yu Xi said: "Ask Yu Zhi, he should know." Yu Zhi has never done intelligence work before, and now it will take a long time to take over the intelligence system in its entirety. So this time Yu Zhi was still following Xu Wu in the palace, and did not follow Yuxi to Hejiazhuang.

When Zi Jin turned around, Yu Xi stopped her again: "By the way, ask Yu Zhi,

Let's see if the prince has received a letter from Jiangnan today? "Since Mrs. Liu lives in Yu Cong's mansion, I believe Yu Cong will not stand by and watch this matter, and will definitely write to Yun Qing about it.

Zijin nodded and said: "Okay." She only followed orders and did not ask why.

By the afternoon, Yuxi knew why Lin hadn't arrived in Jiangnan yet. The reason is very simple, Mrs. Lin fell ill and is still recuperating in Luzhou!

Yu Xi smiled and said: "It's really unfortunate that I'm sick." If Mrs. Lin went to the south of the Yangtze River, now Yu Cong might not have the mood to meddle in Mrs. Liu's business.

Zijin said: "Princess, Ah Zhi said that there have been many official letters and papers delivered in the south of the Yangtze River in the past two days, but the prince only accepted the letters from the uncle and lord." Hee is not good.

Yuxi hummed and said, "I see."

The next morning, Yunqing sent someone to deliver pastries again. Yuxi looked at the pastry delivered this time, which was shaped like the navel of the "King Kong" statue in the temple, and said with a smile: "This pastry looks interesting."

Mei Lan said: "I asked the person who came here, and he said that this pastry is called Huishan Pastry. It is made of vegan oil, refined flour, sesame seeds, nuts, shredded melon and other ingredients, and is baked."

Yuxi smiled and said: "No wonder the pastry is so exquisite, so the master is from Jiangnan." After speaking, she took a piece and ate it. After eating, I nodded. This pastry is crispy and sweet, sweet and salty, and has a unique taste.

At noon, Brother You couldn't help complaining to Yu Xi: "Mom, Dad is too stingy, just two yuan is not enough for my teeth." If you want to give it away, give it more!

Yuxi smiled and said, "Don't you not like pastries? What, the taste has changed now?"

Brother Yu said: "It's not that my taste has changed, but this pastry is so delicious. Mother, please ask Dad to buy more!" He wanted to eat to his heart's content, but he didn't want to be like now, just got the taste It's gone.

Yuxi poked Brother Yu's forehead with her finger and said, "What did mother tell you? You can only eat two pieces of cakes in the morning and afternoon at most, and no more." The cakes are all sweet. Eating too much is bad for your teeth. However, the four brothers have always disliked sweet and greasy food. On the contrary, Zao Zao likes to eat sweets very much.

Brother Yu muttered, "Then it's better not to eat!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xi immediately said: "Then don't eat it." She still doesn't want her child to eat more sweets!

Brother Yu immediately shut up. In case there are any new pastries, brothers can't eat them while he drools!

In the evening, the palace sent something again. But this time it's not cakes, but a pot of camellias. This pot of camellias is deep red, and the bright red is very festive.

Mei Lan whispered: "Princess, this flower is really beautiful." Now, except for the green pine is still green, the outside has long been withered and yellow, and this red flower is very rare.

She is not a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, a few pieces of pastries and a pot of flowers can make her happy. Yu Xi said lightly: "Put it in the study!" The children are tired from writing at night, so it's good to look at the flowers.

At night Yunqing came over and asked Meilan: "That flower, does the concubine like it?" Yunqing doesn't know this kind of trick to please people, it was Xu Daniu's suggestion.

Mei Lan shook her head and said: "The Princess Hua put it in the study." Seeing Yun Qing's disappointed face, Mei Lan said: "But Princess Wang likes the pastries very much, and Princess Wang ate a lot."

Only then did Yunqing's expression ease a lot.

Mei Lan said: "My lord, the things bought outside are always unsafe. I wonder if I can buy this recipe, or invite this master to work in the mansion?"

Yun Qing hummed and said: "I will send someone to handle this matter." He leaves early and returns late, and rarely sees Yu Xi. Even if she met Yuxi, she was indifferent to him. This made Yunqing regret even more while being frustrated.

Brother Yu couldn't help complaining when he saw Yunqing: "Father, the cakes you sent are too few, I only ate two pieces and it's gone."

Yun Qing was not angry either, instead he smiled and said: "When you return to the palace, you can eat as much as you want."

Brother You thinks Zhuangzi is pretty good, ZìYóu is at ease here. It's just that he didn't dare to say this, otherwise he would definitely be scolded.

The next day, Yunqing returned to the palace. Xu Wu handed him a letter and said, "My lord, Yu Cong's letter." Yu Cong's letter came along with the official letter, so it took a little longer than Yang Duoming's.

Yun Qing opened the letter and his face was very ugly after reading it.

Xu Wu asked: "My lord, what did Yu Cong say in the letter?" It probably wasn't something good, otherwise the lord wouldn't have such an expression.

Yun Qing said: "Yu Cong said that the concubine sent people to hunt down Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu ran into his concubine Aunt Huang on the way to escape. Aunt Huang rescued Mrs. Liu and brought her back to Yu Mansion."

Xu Wu has been in charge of intelligence work these years, and has also heard the secrets of many officials' families. Hearing this, Xu Wu frowned. He heard that Mrs. Liu was very beautiful, so Aunt Huang would not be afraid of attracting wolves when she brought Mrs. Liu back. However, Xu Wu cared about the brotherhood for many years, so he didn't say this.

Yun Qing frowned and said to Xu Wu: "Yu Cong said that he has already found out that the assassin who assassinated the Liu family came from Pick City, you go and find out what's going on?"

Xu Wu came back to his senses and said, "My lord, this assassin was definitely not sent by the wangfei. If the wangfei wants to kill Liu Shi, she doesn't have to wait until now."

Yun Qing said: "I know it wasn't the princess's doing. I'm afraid that someone has framed me and wanted to separate me from the princess." Yun Qing knew very well that Yuxi was so angry that she wanted to make peace with him because she thought he didn't care about her, without her. As for the Liu family, Yuxi didn't pay attention at all. That being the case, how could Yuxi go so far as to assassinate Liu Shi. Furthermore, Yuxi really wanted to kill Liu Shi, so she directly ordered Yang Duoming to do so, why would it take such trouble to send an assassin.

At this time, Fu Minglang asked to see him.

After Xu Wu left the study, he went to Huo Changqing's yard and told him about the assassination of Liu Shi by the assassin.

After Huo Changqing finished listening, he frowned and went to find Yunqing. Knowing that Yunqing was talking to someone, he didn't bother. He didn't enter the house until Yunqing finished handling the matter.

Yun Qing was a little surprised, and asked: "Uncle Huo, if you have anything to tell me, I'll just go there."

Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "Xu Wu told me just now that Yu Cong sent a letter saying that it was his mother Zaozao who assassinated Liu."

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "Yu Xi would never do such a thing. I will definitely find out who is behind the scenes."

Huo Changqing said: "You don't need to investigate, I was the one who sent people to assassinate Mrs. Liu. Those two people were selected by Guo Xun from Zhuangzi."

Yun Qing didn't expect that Huo Changqing was the mastermind behind this scene, and immediately asked, "Why did Uncle Huo kill Mrs. Liu?"

Huo Changqing said: "In these years, except for Liu's matter, you have never been confused, so there must be something wrong with Liu's." Before Yun Qing could speak, Huo Changqing continued: "The two people Guo Xun chose, although they are not They are the best in this group, but they are also outstanding in all aspects, but they failed to assassinate Liu Shi? Do you know what this means?"

Yunqing's face changed slightly, and he said, "Uncle Huo, do you mean that the Liu family is meticulous work?" After speaking, he shook his head and said: "Impossible, I sent someone to investigate, Liu's past is very simple, these years I have been learning the piano all the time, and have not been involved in other things."

Huo Changqing said: "What you see with your own eyes may not be true, let alone what you just heard."

Yun Qing didn't refute this.

Huo Changqing said: "There is one thing Xu Wu didn't tell you. Yu Cong recommended Liu's to you, and he asked Xu Wu to help him hide it from your wife." Xu Wu Gu Nian didn't tell Yunqing about his brotherhood, but Huo Changqing didn't think. Since Yu Cong did this, it is impossible for them to protect him for the sake of old love. This is very dangerous for Yunqing. In Huo Changqing's eyes, Yunqing is naturally more important than Yu Cong.

Yun Qing looked surprised, he really didn't know about it: "Why did Yu Cong do this?"

Huo Changqing said: "Because he has ghosts in his heart. He has lived and died with you for so many years, so naturally he would not think too much about his recommendation of Mrs. Liu. But your wife is a thoughtful person, and she will not expose this matter lightly. I will definitely send someone to investigate." As soon as he investigates, Yu Cong will be exposed.

Yun Qing said without thinking, "Impossible, I don't believe that Yu Cong will betray me."

Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "Such a short period of time is not enough for him to betray you and join the court. I guess he must have been used by someone."

Yun Qing remembered what happened in Jiangnan, and said: "There should be something wrong with his two concubines." The only blame is that his people didn't check carefully and missed some news.

Huo Changqing said with a cold face: "I won't talk about the previous things, just talk about today's letter. His letter is clearly trying to provoke the relationship between you and your wife. Doesn't he know you Your daughter-in-law is your biggest help? He knows it, but he still wrote this letter." All these are enough to show that Yu Cong has a problem.

Yun Qing asked Xu Wu, who stood silently by the side, and said, "Ah Wu, what do you think of this matter?"

Xu Wu was silent for a long time, and said something he said before: "Yu Cong, he has changed."

Yun Qing remembered what Xu Wu said to him last time, and his expression was very ugly. Maybe Yu Cong didn't betray him, but he has selfishness, otherwise he wouldn't do so many small tricks.

In fact, Huo Changqing also sighed a little, but after only going to Jiangnan for more than half a year, Yu Cong seemed to have changed into a different person.
