When Chen Mo heard this, he turned around, widened his eyes and said, "What did you say? Why did you agree to this marriage?" Chen Yixin smiled and said: "My parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, my marriage will naturally be decided by my father. Brother, please don’t worry about me.”
After hearing this, Chen Mo was stunned on the spot. He wanted to say something more, but he swallowed the words when he reached his lips. He had to sigh and retreat.
Seeing Chen Yixin's arrival, Pan Suxuan was concerned about Shuang'er's injury and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Yixin, I wonder how Miss Shuang'er is doing? Can her injury get better?"
Chen Yixin smiled and said, "Don't worry, our two children are young and strong. After careful treatment by Dr. Gao, they are no longer seriously ill." Pan Suxuan felt relieved after hearing this and wanted to ask more about the situation, but Chen Yixin had already left. Go to Chen Xiaotian's side.
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the hall, and a guard walked quickly. Seeing Queen Chen Xiao, she saluted and said, "Master, the Kou Governor sent four large boxes of gifts. This is the gift list."
Chen Xiaotian nodded and said: "Give the gift list and gifts to Manager Wang and ask her to handle them properly." The guard followed the order and exited, but Yin Yan felt strange, "How could King Qi have not predicted it and sent the betrothal gift so quickly?"
Chen Xiaotian said: "Presumably he expected that I would not refuse, so he was prepared for it."
Yin Yanlai vaguely felt something was wrong, and said bluntly: "Xiaotian, I think there are a lot of doubts about this matter, and you should think twice." Chen Xiaotian twirled his beard and did not answer. Chen Yixin said from the side: "Don't worry, heroine, I believe in my father. It must be measured."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaotian burst out laughing and said, "I know my father better than my daughter! Yixin, you've been tired all night, go and have a rest." Chen Yixin nodded, turned around and walked out of the lobby. When she passed by Pan Suxuan, she whispered: "Miss Shuang'er, let's go." I’ll tell you a little while, please go to the garden of the west wing to have a talk at three o’clock tonight.”
After hearing this, Pan Suxuan's face turned red and he glanced at Zhao Niantong secretly. Seeing that she didn't notice, he nodded slowly.
Chen Xiaotian then discussed with Yin Yanlai and Chen Mo how to ensure the safety of the house and ensure the safety of the competition five days later and many other details. Pan Suxuan did not listen at all. He only thought about why Shuang'er wanted to meet late at night. She had not recovered yet, so she must have something important. .
Thinking in such a hazy state, until everyone finished their discussion and went back to their houses to rest, Pan Suxuan lay on the bed, thinking about what had happened since coming down the mountain, and couldn't fall asleep. I managed to survive until just after the second watch. I got up and tidied up briefly. I was afraid of disturbing Zhao Niantong next door. I gently opened the door and rushed to the west wing under the moonlight.
Pan Suxuan had lived in the mansion for a long time, and he knew the layout of the mansion very well, so even though it was night, he would not get lost. He didn't have much time, so he went to the West Garden.
He came too early, and there was no one in the West Garden. He looked up at the sky, and there was still more than half an hour before the third watch. He had no intention of admiring the exotic flowers and plants in the garden. When he saw a pavilion on the lake in the garden, he walked to it. sit down.
The moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the night wind was blowing. It was a beautiful scenery on a good day, but Pan Suxuan was so confused that he had no intention of appreciating it. Looking at the stone pillars in the pavilion, I remembered my master's sincere instructions when I came down the mountain. I didn't pay attention to it at the time. Looking back now, I realize that my master had already realized that my coming down the mountain to deliver the message was the beginning of the dispute in the world.
If it is true, as Senior Chen said, that the master of the White House conspired with King Qi and Old Man Tianqi to rebel, if the court knew about this, Caixia Palace would definitely suffer disaster. The master of the White House is usually a humble person. Although he has not had much contact with him, he is not as sinister and cunning as they described him to be. However, he saw and heard the behavior of the old man Tianqi and the monk Jingnian in Guandi Temple with his own eyes and ears. , the rebellion of these madmen is indeed true. I once sent a letter to my master about what I have seen and heard these days, but I have never received a reply. I don’t know what is going on in the palace now? The master obviously wanted to help the old general, so he ordered us to deliver the letter, but in doing so he was going against the leader of the White House. Wouldn't it be in danger if the leader of the White House knew about his old man?
Thinking of this, Pan Suxuan suddenly woke up and stood up in a hurry, wanting to go back to the house and call Zhao Niantong to rush back to Caixia Palace overnight. Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the pavilion, there were sudden tremors under my feet. Looking forward, I saw a stone gate appearing under the rockery not far away.
Pan Suxuan then remembered that there was a secret room underground in the West Garden, and Chen Xiaotian had brought him there. Sure enough, when the stone door opened, it was Chen Xiaotian and Chen Yixin who walked out.
Pan Suxuan didn't see Shuang'er, so he thought to himself: "Shuang'er asked me to meet here, but I can't let General Chen know about it." So he turned around and hid behind a pillar.
I saw Chen Xiaotian and his daughter holding torches in their hands. They looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then walked out from behind the rockery. Listen to Chen Xiaotian say: "Now it is certain that the golden needle that killed Xu San was issued by Monk Jingnian. The golden needle was exactly the same as the one that injured Taoist Master Buyi, and the two golden needles in the inn should have been left by Jingnian's accomplices. "
Chen Yixin nodded and said: "They are probably his disciples. The monk Jing Nian has many disciples, and there are some really good ones among them. But my daughter has never figured out what Xu San's gesture meant before he died."
Chen Xiaotian twirled his beard with his hand and said: "The moment Xu San got the needle, he must have known that Jing Nian wanted to kill someone and silence him, so the gesture he left behind must have been a hint to us."
Chen Yixin said: "If the meaning of Xu San's gesture is not the strokes mentioned by my brother, then it should be numbers. The left hand is three, the right hand should be one, left three and right one..."
Chen Xiaotian felt extremely pity in his heart when he saw Chen Yixin's eyebrows furrowed, her lips slightly parted, and she was thinking hard. He took a step forward and came to her side, and said with concern: "Yixin, don't overwork yourself. You have to compete on stage in a few days. Go back and rest first."
When Chen Yixin saw her father standing on her left hand side holding a torch high, she smiled and said: "Father, you'd better put out the torch first, otherwise it will be too distracting, or you can stand on my right and I can block the light."
Chen Xiaotian smiled and said: "The man is on the left and the woman is on the right, how can I stand in the wrong position?" Chen Yixin smiled, but she did not expect that her usually serious and rigid father would suddenly start joking. At this moment, a thought suddenly came to her mind and she said loudly: " Father, thank you for your reminder, I finally understand Xu San’s hint!”
Chen Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "What did you remind me, father? Yixin, you have confused me." Chen Yixin said: "The man is on the left and the woman is on the right. This is the key. Before Xu San died, his left hand was three and his right hand was Yes, I think he wants to tell us that there are four spies hiding in the house, three men and one woman."
