Chapter 452: Regarding Feng Wuyou's unknown affairs, ask the man in black for the truth
Xiao Jinyan paused. After so long, there was finally some news. He thought it would be the same as before, with no news at all.
"Let him in quickly."
After Qin Xiao left, Su Ying came in from outside and knelt on one knee to salute, "Master."
Xiao Jinyan said, "Get up and answer."
"Thank you, Master." Su Ying stood up and reported everything he found out.
"I went to check for a long time, and almost no one in the entire Nanzhao had heard of Feng Wuyou until I passed by a remote village and heard an old man mention Feng Wuyou."
Xiao Jinyan asked, "Who is Feng Wuyou? Does he know?"
"I heard from the old man that a plague broke out in Nanzhao a few years ago. Since then, Feng Wuyou has disappeared. As for who he is, the old man has always avoided talking about it." Su Ying replied respectfully.
After listening to this, Xiao Jinyan became more curious about Feng Wuyou. What kind of person would disappear out of thin air and make Nanzhao avoid talking about it?
Who is that man in black?
"Sudden plague? Why have I never heard of a sudden plague in Nanzhao? Plague is no small matter. It is impossible for Nanzhao to hide it from neighboring countries."
"I also find it strange. After many inquiries, I learned that this plague came fiercely and went away quickly. In just one day, Nanzhao did not suffer any losses, so it did not spread." Shuying said.
Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly: "That's even more strange. The plague retreated in one day. Is it still called a plague? What's the difference between it and a rain?"
Shuying lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, because he was also curious, but he asked for a long time and got the same answer.
Xiao Jinyan pondered for a long time, thinking of the paintings and jade in the secret compartment, and the words said by the man in black, which made him want to know the truth.
A few years ago, he sent people to check, and there was no one with the surname Feng in the royal family of Nanzhao.
Shuying guessed, "Master, is it possible that there is no Feng Wuyou?"
"If there is no Feng Wuyou, how can I have her portrait?" Xiao Jinyan remembered that the person in the painting was somewhat similar to Xiao Jiu, maybe it was a coincidence.
Shuying lowered his head. How could he know? He went to check a few years ago and didn't find any clues. This time he was lucky and found some clues, but it didn't seem to be of much use.
Shuying has been in Nanzhao for half a year, and he has lost a lot of weight, which also means that he has suffered a lot this time.
Xiao Jinyan waved his hand, "You go down and rest."
"Thank you, master." Shuying left the study.
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the memorial in his hand. In fact, he didn't expect this investigation, but he was still a little disappointed to get this answer. The lost memory seemed to have no effect on him, but the words of the man in black always reminded him that the lost memory was very important.
"Liu Xi."
Liu Xi, who was guarding the door, bowed and walked in, "What do you want, Your Highness?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "Go and call Concubine Xu over."
"Yes." Liu Xi took the order and left, turning to go to Yixiang Palace.
Concubine Xu was staring at the small bell in her hand boredly, because it hadn't called for four months, which meant that she hadn't seen Jun Wuxian for four months.
She said she would say something before leaving, but she left without saying a word.
Concubine Xu originally planned to leave the palace at the end of the year, but because she couldn't bear to leave Shen Chuwei and Tao Liangyuan, she planned to leave the palace in the spring of this year.
You can go home anytime, but it will be difficult to meet again once you leave the palace.
When Liu Xi bowed and came in, telling Concubine Xu that His Highness had something to summon her, in the past, Concubine Xu would definitely be happy to dress up and go to see His Highness.
Now?
She said "hmm" lightly, and waved her handkerchief and followed Liu Xi to the study.
After entering, Concubine Xu stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, may you be blessed with good health."
Xiao Jinyan looked up at Concubine Xu and found that she had lost weight.
Concubine Xu had lost more than ten pounds in the past four months, and it was too obvious that Xiao Jinyan could not ignore it even if she wanted to.
"Get up and talk. I have something to discuss with you."
Compared with the arrogance and domineering in the past three years, Concubine Xu was a little gentler now.
"What did your Highness call me to discuss?"
Xiao Jinyan didn't want to waste time. For Concubine Xu, it was best to get straight to the point.
"I want to see the man in black. Do you have any way?"
Speaking of the man in black, Concubine Xu was a little worried. She shook her head: "Your Highness, I can't do anything."
Xiao Jinyan paused and seemed a little surprised by Concubine Xu's answer.
"Then how do you usually meet the man in black? I don't believe you haven't met in private."
"I have met him, but every time the man in black takes the initiative to find me, and I don't know how to find him." Concubine Xu sighed in her heart. If she knew, she would have contacted him earlier and wouldn't have to wait for more than four months.
It was only then that Xiao Jinyan knew that Concubine Xu hadn't seen the man in black for four months. Concubine Xu couldn't contact the man in black. If she wanted to find him, it would be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
"If the man in black comes to you again, tell him that I want to see him."
Concubine Xu thought Xiao Jinyan was going to cause trouble for the man in black. If that was the case, it would be even more difficult to meet him next time.
"Why does Your Highness want to see him? He didn't do anything bad. Although sneaking into the palace was wrong, he also helped a lot. When the Crown Princess was imprisoned in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I asked him to bring food to the Crown Princess."
Xiao Jinyan: "..." You don't even know who he is, but you start to protect him?
"Breaking into the palace at night is already a capital crime."
Concubine Xu naturally knew the crime of breaking into the palace at night. She tried her best to speak well of the man in black, "But if he didn't break into the palace at night, I would have died of the plague, and the Crown Princess would not be able to eat delicious food. Your Highness must not issue a hunting order or arrest order."
"..."Xiao Jinyan: "I saw him for something, not to punish him."
Concubine Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he was not to be punished. She didn't want Jun Wuxian to become a wanted criminal.
"I know."
Xiao Jinyan waved her sleeves, and Concubine Xu withdrew.
Unable to see the man in black, Xiao Jinyan had no chance to ask, because now only the man in black knew who Feng Wuyou was and what was his relationship with him?
After dealing with the matters at hand, Xiao Jinyan went to the Hehuan Palace.
It was time to light the lamp, and snow suddenly fell from the sky.
Shen Chuwei brought her son and daughter to the corridor to watch the snow.
The two little guys were more excited than her when they saw the snowflakes.
Shen Chuwei reached out her hand to take the snowflake and happily handed it to the babies, "Babies, this is a snowflake."
Susu looked down at Shen Chuwei's palm, her little fingers had turned into snowflakes, and she said in a baby voice: "It's Huahua, Mommy, Huahua."
Shen Chuwei thought that the one-year-old child's words were fun and cute, especially her pink and tender little face, and she spoke in a very serious tone, which was simply cute.
"The snowflake has melted."
This was the scene that Xiao Jinyan saw when he stepped into the Hehuan Palace. The warm scene made him ignore the whistling cold wind, and the indifference in his eyes was replaced by tenderness.
Susu saw Xiao Jinyan first, and she spread her arms and happily flew towards Xiao Jinyan.
It was a snowy day and the road was slippery.
Shen Chuwei was startled by her baby daughter's flying posture and hurriedly chased after her.
Xiao Jinyan was also startled and ran over as fast as he could and hugged his daughter in his arms.
"Daddy." Susu happily hugged Xiao Jinyan's neck and kissed his handsome face, "Well."
Xiao Jinyan looked at his daughter's eyes that could smile like Xiaojiu, and he corrected her: "Call me father."
Susu imitated and said: "Father-king."
Although the pronunciation was not clear, it could be heard that it was father.
Xiao Jinyan praised: "You learned well."
Shen Chuwei held her son and looked at the father and daughter in front of her. Even she herself did not expect that she would get married and have children at the age of eighteen, which was something she would never have thought of before.
Xiao Jinyan came over with Susu in his arms, freed one hand to hold Shen Chuwei's hand, and found that her hand was colder than his own.
"It's cold outside, don't stand outside in the cold wind."
"I know." Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan in.
Chunxi brought the food to the table one by one, including a stove, which was scalding vegetables and smelled delicious.
The two little guys sat on the dining chairs and started to eat their own meals.
Xiao Jinyan picked up the bowl and remembered that her mother's birthday was coming soon. "My mother's birthday is coming soon. What birthday gift do you think is better for her?"
Shen Chuwei swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking: "My mother is the queen. She has no shortage of gold, silver, jewelry, and silk, but..."
Xiao Jinyan asked: "But what?"
Shen Chuwei smiled: "My mother is over 40 years old. What women care most about is their appearance. I plan to make a mask and cream for my mother."
Xiao Jinyan heard strange words from her again and was a little curious, "Mask? Cream? What is it?"
Shen Chuwei thought for a while and said: "It's a skin care product for skin care."
Xiao Jinyan remembered that her mother used to complain in her heart that her father disliked her for having crow's feet and disliked her for not being as good as a teenage girl. All the skin care products with very good effects are indeed a good birthday gift.
"This birthday gift is good. You have a way."
"My mother treats me very well. Of course, I have to give her the gift she wants most."
Shen Chuwei is the type who treats others well, so she will treat others twice as well. The queen has nothing to say about her. There is no conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all.
Xiao Jinyan saw that his mother treated Xiaojiu better than her son, but compared with the past, his relationship with his mother has eased a lot.
The next day, Shen Chuwei took out some Chinese herbal medicines that are effective for skin care from the space and started making facial masks and creams.
Xiao Jinyan didn't have to attend the morning court today. He asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put them on the low table. He spread the rice paper and held his son in his arms, intending to teach him how to write.
Taotao was so happy when she got the red pen.
Just then, Xiao Jinyu strode in from outside angrily.
"Brother, the emperor actually asked me to marry Wanxin as well."
Today, Xiao Jinyu mentioned the matter of marrying a concubine again, and the emperor agreed, but asked him to marry Miss Han and Wanxin together, both as concubines.
Good evening, babies!
