In the next half month, Xue Ruitian didn't mention how honest he was. He was afraid that he would get a few needles from Jin Miaomiao and fall asleep for several days. Therefore, he was extremely well-behaved and obedient every day.
Under Jin Miaomiao's urgent attention, he began to slowly adjust his daily habits, getting up on time, eating on time, going to the camp on time to practice, and resting around the same time in the evening, and no longer drank strong tea. , he no longer stayed up late, and Hongye watched him take medicine every day, so his complexion and mental state finally improved a lot.
Nothing special happened in the past half month, and the news they received was pretty good. They followed the plan and followed the plan.
Song Jue and Bai Meng secretly searched for traces of the Qinglian Sect in Xijing City and surrounding counties and towns. Once discovered, they would close the net secretly without making a big fuss, so as not to alert others. However, after one or two months of searching, it turned out that the Green Lotus Sect had basically disappeared in Xijing and surrounding counties and towns. They also expanded the scope of their search and found almost no trace of the Green Lotus Sect.
Song Jue sent the search results to the border gate. At the end of the letter, he wrote a sigh, saying that Our Lady of Qinglian was cruel to others and even more cruel to herself. She had worked hard to cultivate people for so many years and circled so many people. For many years, giving up as soon as possible and giving up as soon as possible is not something that ordinary people can do.
Not only that, Song Jue also wrote down his impression of the Empress Dowager in the letter. Unsurprisingly, his feelings were the same as those of Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu. Not only that, the experiences of the three brothers were also similar. However, the Empress Dowager still had a sense of proportion. She only tested Song Jue slightly and did not touch the people around him, so as not to arouse the late emperor's suspicion.
After reading Song Jue's letter, Shen Cha jokingly asked Shen Haolin if he had been summoned by the Empress Dowager. Shen Haolin denied this speculation. When he was a child, he rarely went to the harem alone, and few maids came to him. , according to the late emperor, Song Jue, and Bai Meng, who is willing to run close to a piece of ice.
Shen Cha deeply believed that her brother's cold demeanor actually scared off many people who had a crush on him. Whether they wanted to make friends or admired him, they were all rejected by him without mercy. , so much so that there was a rumor circulating in the court that Duke Zhen Guo was a lonely minister. Fortunately, he had good brothers and good friends around him, otherwise this rumor would really have been ignored.
In addition to the good news from Song Jue, the Yelu brothers who rushed back to Linhuang Mansion also received good news. Yelu Ertu finally escaped from danger this time. Although it was extremely dangerous when he fell ill, he was finally rescued. According to According to the Third Master, as long as he is well cared for, it is not a problem to live for three to five years. Even if Yelvertu wants to die, they will do their best to bring him back.
As for the Yiqing Prefecture, the news is a little dull. Wanyan Qingmu's health is greatly improved. Although the knife hit a critical point, he was rescued in time, and there are good doctors around him. In addition, his body has Gu worms helped, so the recovery was pretty good. Even if he still can't get up and can only stay in bed, he is still awake and can see guests.
However, Aunt Wanyanping is a little troublesome. For some reason, her attitude has become decisive. In addition to still refusing to reveal the person behind the scenes, it has now escalated to refusing to meet, refuse to communicate, and even She would go on a hunger strike if she was forced to do so again.
Ah Piao said in the letter that they still don't know why their aunt has changed so drastically, but what is certain is that there should be some accomplices of her aunt around sister Wanyanping, and they are still investigating.
Neither Shen Haolin nor Shen Cha was surprised by such a result. With the way the Qinglian Sect works, if you really want to get or control the throne of the Golden King, you can never rely on Aunt Wanyanping alone. There will definitely be others. There are other hidden lines, and there are more than one.
The reason why Aunt Wanyanping's attitude changed so much was probably because she received information from another hidden source. If she could shut up, she could survive.
However, in the eyes of Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, it was just an argument that temporarily stabilized the aunt. But now that the aunt has been exposed, it is absolutely impossible for the people of the Qinglian Sect to spend too many manpower to rescue her, even if she is from the Jin Kingdom. One of the few Gu Masters.
For Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, these are not big things. For more than half a month, they care more about Xue Ruitian. Seeing that Xue Ruitian is recovering well, they feel relaxed a lot. Xue Ruitian's condition has improved, so naturally He could handle what happened next, otherwise, they were still worried that he wouldn't be able to bear the truth of that year.
There were not only the two secret rooms in the armory that they saw that night. Behind the restored Old Town Duke's study, there were three small secret rooms. The evidence inside was what the Shen family and his wife wanted their brothers and sisters to see.
The evidence includes the secret letter passed between the head of the Xue family, Xue Ruitian's grandfather, and the Empress Dowager. This secret letter was not written in words in the usual sense, but used a very strange symbol. It forms a pattern and is embroidered on the handkerchief. There are about seven or eight such handkerchiefs. The decryption by the Duke of Laozhen and his wife and the late emperor can prove that the relationship between the Xue family and the Empress Dowager has gradually turned into accomplices from the beginning of repayment of gratitude.
Because of the relationship between the Xue family and his wife, the old man of the Xue family was grateful to the Empress Dowager. Although his daughter had passed away, he still wanted to repay him. Therefore, when the Empress Dowager asked him for help for the first time, , he agreed without hesitation.
Based on the Empress Dowager's plan, asking the old man of the Xue family for help at first would not be too difficult, nor would it touch the so-called bottom line of the Xue family, but once there would be two or three times, from a simple sentence Things that could be solved gradually became more and more complicated, involving decisions that could affect government affairs. The Empress Dowager's appetite grew bigger and bigger, and she asked the old man of the Xue family to do more and more things.
From these few secret letters, especially those with later dates, we can see that the old man of the Xue family is struggling, resisting and regretting more and more, but he has fallen into a quagmire and has no way to get out of the quagmire. When he comes out of this mud circle, what he can do is to keep his son away from this strange circle and not involve him in it.
Therefore, the eldest son of the Wuding Hou family followed the eldest son of the Zhenguo Duke's family to the border for training. This arrangement will not make people feel abrupt. After all, Shen and Xue have been friends for generations, and they have been friends for generations. It is a matter of course for children from two families to go together for training. His purpose in doing this was to hope that his children would be as far away from the circle of right and wrong in Xijing as possible, and the less likely they would come into contact with the Empress Dowager, so as not to be exploited again.
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha are a little worried now about whether they should tell Xue Ruitian clearly about the situation of the Xue family, but they know that it is Xue Ruitian who should make the decision on what to do and how to do it. If they don't tell them, I'm afraid Xue Ruitian will find out the truth in the future, or at least blame them for not reporting the truth.
