"Thank you for your help, aunt."
Wei Shuyu narrowed his eyes and cupped his hands.
"Where, where..."
Nanxiu waved her hands repeatedly.
"Let's go."
Wei Shuyu turned around and headed straight ahead to clear the way.
Nan Xiu was hunched over and walked slowly.
Seeing this, Wei Shuyu also slowed down.
"How many years have you been delivering food to Famen Temple?" Wei Shuyu asked with a smile.
"Thirteen years." Nanxiu replied nervously.
"Are there any relatives at home?" Wei Shuyu continued to ask.
"They all died in the war more than ten years ago." A trace of sadness flashed in Nan Xiu's eyes.
Wei Shuyu expressed his understanding.
During the struggle for hegemony at the end of the Sui Dynasty, too many people died.
"Are you afraid of me?" Wei Shuyu asked with a smile.
The old woman lowered her head and did not dare to answer.
"Wei Shuyu, you are an official and she is a citizen, she must be afraid of you." Wu Qiqi said helpfully.
However, Wei Shuyu ignored it.
He directly grabbed the old woman's hand and lifted up her sleeve...
The arms were extremely dark and rough.
"Wei Shuyu, what are you doing?"
Wu Qiqi was angry.
As long as it's a woman, even an old woman!
She wasn't happy either.
"Didn't you tell me not to believe women's words easily?" Wei Shuyu asked back.
"I'm referring to beautiful women!" Wu Qiqi replied angrily.
"Isn't she beautiful?" Wei Shuyu narrowed his eyes.
Well……
Wu Qiqi glanced at the old woman.
He was in his fifties, with a dark complexion and pitted skin.
Is there something wrong with my aesthetics?
Wu Qiqi turned around and asked the two idiots: "Is she beautiful?"
The two guys shook their heads repeatedly.
"She is very pretty."
Wei Shuyu nodded: "At least once, she was beautiful!"
What?
Several people were startled.
Wei Shuyu should not be able to tell lies.
"Little...little official, what are you going to do?" the old woman said nervously.
"Stop pretending."
Wei Shuyu narrowed his eyes: "Your appearance, tone, and eyes are all like ordinary people."
"But you overlooked one thing..."
"figure!"
Um?
Friends, look around.
The old woman was hunched over, looking like she was crushed by stress.
This doesn’t tell anything.
boom.
Wei Shuyu pressed Nanxiu's chin and pushed it up.
"Your hunchback is just an act!"
The old man's hunchback, his back is set.
It's hard to correct.
Whether it is truly hunched or not can be distinguished by standing straight.
"Folk women...folk women have only become hunchbacked in the past few years." The old woman replied in panic.
"OK."
Wei Shuyu smiled: "What about your height?"
"How can a peasant woman be this tall?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone reacted.
Only then did they realize that when the old woman straightened up, she was a little over 1.7 meters tall.
In ancient times, nobles paid attention to incest marriage, so they were generally very tall.
Not to mention military generals, most of them are no less than 1.8 meters tall.
But ordinary people rarely have such a height, let alone a woman.
"The father of the civilian woman is relatively tall." Nanxiu explained again.
"Consider you successful in your quibble again."
Wei Shuyu smiled nonchalantly: "Then tell me..."
"You are so afraid of me, how dare you call me Doctor Wei?"
Um?
Several people were startled.
Wei Shuyu didn't say that they hadn't discovered it yet.
The title is small.
It is usually a term of endearment used by a superior to a subordinate, an elder to a junior, or a term of endearment between friends.
How dare Nam Soo dare to add a diminutive to the title with such timid behavior?
"The civilian woman is just too nervous." Nan Xiu lowered her head and argued.
"Yeah?"
Wei Shuyu didn't answer, just watched her talk to herself...
"Actually, I have always been curious about who can make Concubine Yang and Princess Hailing keep their mouths shut..."
"I didn't find it in the books until yesterday..."
"It turns out that Emperor Sui Yang still has a daughter alive!"
"My biological sister wants to help her son win the heir, how can Concubine Yang refuse?"
"You think so...Princess Nanyang?"
Uh-huh.
Upon hearing this, Chang He subconsciously drew his weapon.
Princess Nanyang!
The eldest daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty...
"A civilian woman doesn't know what Dr. Wei is talking about." Nan Xiu still argued.
"Wei Shuyu."
At this moment, Wu Qiqi suddenly stepped forward and asked: "What on earth is going on? Are you really sure she is the person behind the scenes?"
Ah……
The corners of Wei Shuyu's mouth curved.
"pretty close!"
Wei Shuyu smiled and said: "When Changle was attacked, how did Ling Jing get the news?"
"Why did Changle follow me out of Chang'an City without any secret guards to protect me?"
Um?
Wu Qiqi thought for a moment.
Suddenly I seemed to think of something...
"Are you saying that Princess Changle was deliberately released by the Imperial Guard?" Wu Qiqi asked.
"That's right!"
Wei Shuyu nodded affirmatively: "This involves a very important person..."
"Yuwen Shiji!"
Wow.
The soldiers next to him were all startled.
Yuwen Shiji.
During the Wude period, he took refuge in the Tang Dynasty.
He dedicated his sister to Li Yuan and married the princess of Shouguang County, a daughter of the Tang clan.
From then on he rose to prominence.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was released as the governor of Puzhou due to illness!
But just last year...
Li Shimin transferred him back and appointed him as the Right Guard General!
"Everyone should know the duties of General Right Guard, right?"
Wu Qiqi and others were startled.
Naturally, he knew what General Youwei represented.
"General Youwei, in charge of the palace and the imperial guards!" Chang He said.
Gongye: Imperial Palace.
Prohibition: Measures and effects of prohibiting criminal activities such as rape and theft.
Responsible for guarding the palace.
The division of responsibilities of General Chang'an is very clear...
Li Junxian: Responsible for guarding Xuanwu Gate.
Du Junchuo: Look at the other door!
Chang He: Affiliated to Zuowuwei (the predecessor of Jinwuwei) and responsible for patrolling Chang'an day and night. (In fact, it is the urban management of Chang'an City)
Yuwen Shiji is the leader who truly protects the royal family!
"They say that men are not allowed to enter the harem!"
"Actually, we have been in a misunderstanding all along."
"The people who sent the message to Concubine Yang were not eunuchs or maids, but the imperial guards responsible for guarding the palace!"
Several people suddenly woke up.
Yuwen Shiji patrolled the palace day and night, and it was not easy to deliver messages.
And the secret guard.
A large part of them are Praetorian Guards!
"Then do you know..."
"What is the relationship between Princess Nanyang and Yu Wenshiji?" Wei Shuyu asked again.
"The relationship between husband and wife!"
Chang He opened his mouth and said: "In the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor, Princess Nanyang married Yu Wenshu's son, Yuwen Shiji!"
"right."
Wei Shuyu looked at Nan Xiu: "As the first wife of Yuwen Shiji, it shouldn't be difficult for Princess Nanyang to ask him for some help, right?"
Several people gasped.
It would be terrible if that were the case.
The palace basically has no secrets about Princess Nanyang.
"Then how did Princess Nanyang get involved with Ling Jing?" Wu Qiqi asked doubtfully.
She is smart...
But if you don’t know some things, no matter how smart you are, you can’t analyze them.
"Princess Nanyang was Dou Jiande's prisoner." Chang He was the first to speak.
Regarding the war for hegemony at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the generals definitely knew the best.
When they get together, they will talk about the battle that year every once in a while.
"Back then, Yu Wenhuaji plotted rebellion and killed Emperor Sui Yang."
"But not long after, he was destroyed by Dou Jiande again."
"Ling Jing is Dou Jiande's adviser, so it's normal for the two to have contact!"
"the most important point is……"
"After Dou Jiande was killed by His Majesty, Ling Jing and Princess Nanyang disappeared together."
Wei Shuyu nodded.
Putting all this together, the person behind the scenes can only be Princess Nanyang!
I thought it would take some time to find Princess Nanyang.
Who would have thought…
The Imperial Academy army stole some food and asked Famen Temple to hand over Princess Nanyang.
"What on earth are you talking about?" Nan Xiu hunched over, with timid eyes.
"nothing……"
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "I just want to invite you to meet some people."
Is Nanxiu Princess Nanyang?
Veterans of the Sui Dynasty must know him.
As long as those old men are recognized, everything will be revealed.
"Uncle Chang, arrest her."
As Wei Shuyu finished speaking, Chang He led people to control Nan Xiu.
Just when Wei Shuyu wanted to take him back to Chang'an, a fast horse rushed over...
"Report!"
The soldier dismounted and clasped his fists and said, "The Imperial Army was captured by nearby villagers!"
