Yan Yunyi asked Huiniang to pay attention to the movements in Xunfang Pavilion, and soon Huiniang came back to report.
"Madam, the princess locked up Lu Yong in the side room of Xunfang Pavilion, nailed all the windows and doors shut, and the tiger guards surrounded the place airtight."
In front of the dressing table, Yan Yunyi opened the box and placed the hairpin ring in it. Hearing this, he paused and turned to look at Huiniang: "Huan'er doesn't have my order, how can I mobilize the Tiger Guards?"
Huiniang said truthfully: "It was the Second Young Master who led the Huben Guards to surround Xunfang Pavilion."
"Yan Qing?" Yan Yunyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, closed the box and said, "This boy looks exactly like his father."
I think back then, when Yan Wuji learned that his sister Yan Yunyi had been humiliated and gave way to the throne, he single-handedly broke into the palace with a knife. He even dared to kill the personal guards around Li Zheng, and even put the knife on Li Zheng's neck, just to seek justice for his sister. He is a well-deserved sister-guarding madman.
Hui Niang hesitated for a moment and then said: "Madam, if the princess really finds out something, what are you going to do?"
Yan Yunyi's lips curved slightly and she said, "If she can really find out, I can really rest assured and leave everything in the Yan family in her hands."
The ten stewards in this mansion are all old people. Six of them are from the former East Palace, and four are old people from the General's Palace. They are all slippery. I want to hear from these people. To be honest, it is impossible to use torture through fear.
Yan Yuhuan naturally knew this, so he had no intention of forcing a confession.
She stood in front of the side pavilion door with her arms folded across her chest, looking around at the airtight iron barrel.
The clanking sound of the Tiger Guards' black armor gradually came closer. Yan Yu raised her lips and said happily: "How long can he last in such a dark and silent environment?"
Yan Qing walked up the steps: "Even the soldiers who have fought on the battlefield in the army cannot last more than half a month in such an environment."
"You set the fire on the crooked neck tree." Yan Yu said happily.
"So..." Yan Qing looked sideways at Yan Yuhuan and said, "Auntie is lying, but why is she lying?"
What Yan Yuhuan is thinking about now is not why Yan Yunyi lied, but why Yan Yunyi suddenly came out and interfered like this.
"Huan'er, whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it. Even if you poke a hole in the sky, I can push it back for you."
"My mother will help you in her own way."
These two sentences, and Yan Yunyi's expression when he said these two sentences, lingered in Yan Yuhuan's mind, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Yan Yuhuan shook his head and said: "Second brother, help me guard this place. All I need to do is pass him food through the small hole under the door every day."
Yan Qing nodded, feeling quite touched in his heart. It had been a long time since he heard Yan Yu call his second brother happily. In the past, he often called him like this, mostly to ask for his help to achieve a certain goal. Ever since he was pushed down by Jiang Qinian and woke up, I never called my second brother again. I always used my first name and surname, but there was no disrespect at all. It was a long-lost equal coexistence.
In the past, Jiang Qinian loved to take care of flowers and plants, and he worked harder than a garden craftsman, because in this house, flowers and plants were the only companions.
Jiang Qinian stood in the courtyard, looking at the green chrysanthemum bud he had cultivated, which was now blooming.
As the footsteps behind him approached, Jiang Qinian tilted his head slightly. Seeing that figure in his peripheral vision, he unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.
"Jiang Qinian." Yan Yuhuan walked to Jiang Qinian, held the arm that was about to salute him, and said, "Let's talk in the room."
"The princess suspected that Madam had revealed that Lu Yong had enriched his own pockets, and blamed Lu Yong for the arson. She didn't want you to shake the foundation of the old man in the mansion?" Jiang Qi young waved his folding fan, held a teacup in one hand and sipped lightly, with the same tone. Casual and with a little smile.
"So my mother chose to replace Lu Yong with someone else." Yan Yuhuan felt that this explanation was the most reasonable so far.
If Yan Yunyi really had this idea, he made it clear that he didn't want to cause any trouble between his servant and his daughter, so he came up with this plan. Thinking of this, Yan Yuhuan really wanted to tell Yan Yunyi that she was wrong.
Yan Yuhuan is not a person who follows the trend.
Jiang Qinian seemed to disagree with this statement. He shook his head and said calmly: "Princess, there is something in this that doesn't make sense."
"It doesn't make sense?" Yan Yuhuan asked doubtfully: "The language is clear and logical, why doesn't it make sense?"
Jiang Qinian put away the folding fan, tapped it twice on the table and said: "Mrs. Yan's most precious daughter in her life is the princess. For the sake of the princess, she did not hesitate to risk the accusation of bullying women and dominating men, and used conspiracy to plot the man she liked. We used force to rob them and brought them to the princess one by one. If you are so desperate for the princess, do you still care about those few slaves who have been serving for many years?"
Yan Yuhuan's eyes have always been on Jiang Qinian's stunning face. The focus has long been lost. Now when he was suddenly asked a question, it was like being touched by Nangong Wenya on the head. He opened his mouth in a daze: " ah?"
Jiang Qinian waved his hand and unfolded the folding fan, covering Yan Yuhuan's face with the fan, and said: "If the princess comes to the slave to solve problems, let's discuss the affair later, okay?"
Yan Yuhuan's eyes widened when he heard this. He grabbed Jiang Qinian's hand and said excitedly: "I suddenly realized that after you came back from Yanzhuang, you never deliberately seduced me to please me again!"
"Princess." After a moment of silence, Jiang Qinian called in a low tone.
Yan Yuhuan was honest now. She quickly took her hand back and said with a smile: "So you mean, my mother is not trying to protect those in charge?"
Jiang Qinian asked, "What do you think, Princess?"
When things go wrong, there must be a monster. Everyone in the entire Jade Capital knows how much Yan Yunyi loves this daughter. There is no reason for him to get into trouble with his daughter because of some old slaves.
Yan Yuhuan held her chin and thought carefully, and then thought of what Yan Yunyi said. Suddenly her heart was filled with happiness, and her mind was instantly clear, and she said: "I understand, my mother is not doing it to protect the foundation of the old man, but to expose other foxes." Tails, among the ten stewards now, I don’t know how many stewards are involved. The best way is to let them relax their vigilance and arrest Lu Yong first, so that they think Lu Yong will fight this matter with all his strength. Slowly let go of your defenses!”
Jiang Qinian raised his lips and asked, "How do you know?"
Yan Yu laughed happily and said, "You don't understand, this is called a mother-daughter connection."
Yan Yuhuan, who has never felt maternal love, will never subconsciously assume the role of a daughter, so she will not immediately think about problems from the perspective of maternal love. Someone always needs to remind her, otherwise there will be misunderstandings and discord.
