(1/2)
There were a lot of books piled up on the table, and I had a large part of them as soon as I moved in. I thought that Pei Yuanhao had arranged it in advance, and later I brought a few books in myself, and I read them when I had nothing to do on weekdays. But these days, since Miaoyan's condition began to improve, I have put all my body and mind on her and I have almost stopped reading books.
As soon as I saw the little eunuch walking over and picking up the stack of books on it, I immediately frowned subconsciously.
At this time, Nangong Jinhong, who was standing aside, immediately scolded: "Shameful things! The table is full of books that Miss Yan reads every day, can you forget?"
The little eunuch listened and looked back subconsciously.
Nangong Jinhong said: "It's better to go there and look for it!"
The little eunuch followed his gaze and saw that it was another little eunuch, kneeling on the ground, looking at the bed with his butt raised high, and hurriedly agreed and put the stack of books back. But just as he was about to put it back, he heard the little eunuch shouting, "Here is here!"
All of a sudden, everyone looked over there.
I was suddenly shocked. Sure enough, I saw the little eunuch climbing under the bed and actually touching a book from it, and it was covered with some dust. He carefully dusted it and said, "Master, I have found it!"
What's going on? There's really a book under the bed?
Behind him, Su Su and Madam Wu were also shocked and immediately held their breath.
At this time, Nangong Jinhong hurriedly walked forward, took it from the little eunuch, and saw a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, that's this book!"
Pei Yuanhao's originally heavy face also immediately felt happy when he heard this sentence. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is it really this book?"
"Yes, the old minister has read it at home before. The emperor, this is the book."
"Okay, great!"
I stood beside me, without moving for a moment, nor did I speak.
Just then, when the little eunuch shouted, I thought I would find some evidence of the crime under the bed, but I never expected that I actually found a book and looked at it. It seemed that it was really a medical book. Nangong Jinhong had already turned to a certain page and pointed to the one above for Pei Yuanhao to see it, and his eyes were bent.
"Please look at it, this is the prescription that treats blood and cold."
“…”
"God bless you! The emperor is blessed by God, and the imperial concubine is saved this time!"
...
I subconsciously frowned and turned to look at Susu and Madam Wu. They both stared at the book as if they were looking at a fairy tale. Then they also looked at me with confusion, both of them shook their heads.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
I know very well that I have never taken the things in the brocade box to see it, and it is even more impossible to take them to the bed and fall under the bed. Judging from the two of them, they probably have never touched them. I think people around me would not be able to touch the things given by Nangong Lizhu. That would be strange. Shu didn't grow legs, so would he run under the bed by himself?
If the book really ran under the bed, why didn’t it run into something else, for example - something that was not good for me?
At this moment, my mind was spinning rapidly, but no matter what I thought, the book was found under the bed, which was exactly what Nangong Jinhong said just now. I took it out and read it myself, forgot it, and it fell under the bed, so I probably didn't remember it even more.
Nangong Jinhong held the book, like a drowning person holding a life-saving straw, raised his head and smiled at me, "Thank you Miss Yan, I really disturbed today."
Although I was confused, my face didn't show any of it, and I smiled: "You are polite, Lord Nangong. This is because I am confused and almost ruined the Imperial Concubine's illness."
"I dare not, I dare not. There is a mess here, so I will clean up my clothes immediately."
After saying that, he hurriedly pointed at a few eunuchs around who were searching for other places: "Hurry up, put everything in Miss Yan. If there is something wrong, you will ask."
The little eunuchs were always staring at this side, and when they saw that they found something, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When they heard what he said, they hurriedly responded and put the things they were holding in their hands back.
Pei Yuanhao's face had completely calmed down. He turned to look at me, as if he was about to comfort me, but at this moment, a sensation came from the window.
When he looked up, he saw that the little eunuch who had just taken a stack of books to search for. I don’t know whether he was anxious or slipping his hands, all the books fell to the ground. Suddenly, he was so scared that he turned pale and hurriedly fell to the ground: “Give me your life!”
Pei Yuanhao originally frowned, as if he was about to get angry, but he seemed to be unable to get angry, so he turned his head to look at me.
My mind was still on the book I had just found under the bed, and I didn't care about it. Instead, Nangong Jinhong hurried over: "What a bastard, how dare you mess up Miss Yan's things? It depends on how many lives you have!"
The little eunuch was so scared that he was so scared that he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Even though this is the case, Pei Yuanhao didn't seem that angry. After all, he had just found Nangong Lizhu's life-saving straw. Seeing that I was not unhappy, I waved my hand lightly and said, "It's not a big deal, just pack it up."
The little eunuch seemed to have escaped his life and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
Nangong Jinhong said: "This time I am causing trouble for Miss Yan, and the old minister also feels sorry."
I vaguely felt something was wrong.
So he walked over: "It's not a big deal, how dare you deal with Lord Nangong's great deeds."
After saying that, I had to go over and pick it up. After all, there were still one or two things I valued. But just as I took a step, Nangong Jinhong, who had already walked to the desk, suddenly stopped and stared at the books scattered all over the ground, as if he had seen something: "Huh?"
Pei Yuanhao subconsciously looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Nangong Jinhong did not answer him immediately, but stood there quietly. After passing by for a while, he slowly bent down: "What is this?"
I saw him squatting down and picking up something from the pile of books.
He turned his back to us, looked at it for a while before turning back, and said with a smile: "This is Miss Yan's letter, right?"
“…”
"Offended."
“…”
I immediately shut up and stopped talking.
It turns out that I am waiting for me here.
For some reason, although I knew that the matter was the beginning, I actually felt an urge to laugh in my heart. It seemed that I had been waiting in the audience for too long, and finally heard the drum beats, and I felt a sense of prophecy, although - I only realized now that there was a "letter of my family" in those piles of books.
However, this arrangement is clever.
If it is really something that is found by someone searching for, the traces will be too heavy, not to mention that it is obviously a rift with me, or the people from the Nangong family who have a grudge propose to search my house. More than 80% of the things found in this way will be suspected by Pei Yuanhao. But, this thing was not found, but was thrown out by someone "inadvertently" after finding the serious thing.
This makes it much more reliable.
After all, things that are obtained without trace can be said to be a matter of things - a book will be made any coincidence.
When Pei Yuanhao heard the word "family letter", he frowned slightly: "What kind of family letter?"
I don’t know if he was asking me or Nangong Jinhong, but Nangong Jinhong had already come over and respectfully brought the things in his hand to him. At this time, I saw clearly that he was holding a book with a letter in the pages. Pei Yuanhao took out the letter and took a look. There were a few clear words on it - Yan Qingying personally opened it.
As soon as I saw the envelope, my brows frowned.
No wonder Nangong Jinhong dared to say that it was my letter from home when he saw the envelope. It was an envelope that only existed in the Xichuan area. It was the style of the envelope in the previous dynasty. The Central Plains area had long been restructured, but Xichuan still retained it.
So, he could tell at a glance that it was my "letter of home".
Pei Yuanhao took it from him, but did not disassemble it immediately, but pinched it on his fingertips and looked up at me: "What is it?"
I said calmly: "Since Lord Nangong said it was a letter to home, it was naturally a letter to home."
He looked at me and said, "I'm asking you, what is this?"
Then I smiled faintly: "The girl in the folk don't know."
Nangong Jinhong also smiled: "Miss Yan was joking. Could it be that this letter fell out of thin air from the book?"
His words seemed to remind him of something. Pei Yuanhao temporarily put down the letter and picked up the book with the letter in it. When I saw it, my heart was moved.
"Collection of Magical Effects"!
Moreover, it is not the one I copied, but the one that Jabixing brought directly from Shu.
Since I got this collection of magical effects and copied it again, I rarely took out the original one and kept it in the pile of books in the corner. First, I really need to avoid some suspicion. After all, the copywriter of this book is Xiao Yusheng; secondly, I didn’t have the intention to touch it, so I almost forgot it.
But unexpectedly, it was found under such circumstances.
Pei Yuanhao flipped through it and immediately said, "This is the ancient book that gives the medicine for treating abscess, right?"
I was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
He stopped talking.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little stiff and cold.
Of course he knew that the prescription and this medical book were brought from Shu, and he also knew that the person from Shu was still in my mansion. However, for the subtle balance between me and him, he had never touched my people, and he had completely pressed it down and refused to mention it. But I didn't expect that although this matter was pressed between us, it was picked up by others.
It seems like I picked a thorn.
Pei Yuanhao looked through two pages of "The Collection of Magical Effects" and asked, "Who wrote this?"
"It was copied by students from Xishan Academy."
"Where are the people who sent the books?"
"He is also a student of Xishan Academy."
He put down the book and picked up the letter again: "This - also given to you by the people from Xishan Academy?"
“…”
This time, I did not answer, but looked at him.
There was no expression on his face, no obvious anger, no sinisterness that he was used to, and even no expression. It was so faint, as if he had just taken something to ask.
Although I also know that he is so moody and will not be easily caught by others, at this moment, I really can't grasp his emotions at all.
After thinking about it, I said calmly: "If the emperor wants to ask, why not open it and take a look."
“…”
"After all, the letter is here, you can tell at a glance what it is."
