    Chapter Index

    Su Moyi didn’t drink, she just played with the cup in her hand and looked up at the door of Song Mansion casually.

    The hundreds of cannons in the courtyard fired in unison, making the ground a bright red.

    The groom, riding a tall horse, paused and rested in front of the main gate.The groomsmen were surrounded by people, and the maid opened the curtain of the car, and pulled out a woman with a dangling necklace and hairpins.

    As soon as she got out of the car, she covered her face with a round fan and was led to the hall by the maid.

    Because the fan was so tightly covered that nothing could be seen.

    Even when he passed by Su Moyi and was only three steps away from him, he only saw the side of the bride’s slender and white neck.

    The hand holding the wine cup paused, and an indescribable feeling suddenly arose in my heart.

    There was fog in the winter night, and the lanterns and candles of the Song Dynasty were covered with a layer of fog, looking a bit charming, but there was a touch of sourness in Su Moyi’s eyes.

    he shook his head, laughing that he might be crazy.At this juncture, I still have time to think about Lin Wanqing’s appearance in her wedding dress.

    he sighed, turned his head and heard a very thin and light groan.The cup in his hand shook, and he almost jumped up from his seat.

    That voice, he was so familiar.

    Because women usually scream when they are in pain, their voices are high-pitched and thin; but Lin Wanqing is an exception. Because she has been dressing up as a man for many years, she has developed the habit of enduring pain first, so her voice is particularly deep.

    A heart immediately lifted up.

    A fire flickered, and while the best man was singing, Su Moyi began to search quietly.

    Lin Wanqing wasn’t eager to solve the case, so she snuck in by herself, right?

    But although everything has been arranged tonight, there is no guarantee that Song Zhengxing will not jump over the wall and die.She has always been reckless, and she really can’t come to such a dangerous place.

    “Bride, beware.” The maid reminded her.

    Only then did Su Moyi realize that the sound just now was caused by the bride accidentally touching the copper basin when she stepped over the brazier.

    He breathed a sigh of relief, and the doubts in his heart were relieved.He turned his head and rubbed the center of his brows, thinking that it was just an hallucination caused by his tiredness and lack of energy.

    I’m really afraid that she will come here to join in.

    While thinking about it, the bride was led to the main hall by the maid before she was seated.The band in the hall played the plum blossom tune, like the water flowing in the mountains on a sunny day and the flowers blooming.

    The best man stood aside and began to sing along with the music: “Bow down, bow——”

    The bride and groom stood side by side and bowed to the heaven and earth.

    The man and the woman were obviously a perfect couple, but seeing them in Su Moyi’s eyes only made him feel unhappy and tight.He frowned and his eyes stopped on the side of the bride without moving for a moment.

    A touch of red between the red candle and the joy attracted his attention.

    He looked intently at the side of the bride’s ear that was not covered by the fan. The pendant hanging on it looked familiar – it was a carnelian earring inlaid with gold wire. It was exquisitely made and made of high quality material.

    He vaguely remembered that when he went to Chang’an Palace to visit the Queen Mother last month, someone happened to bring the jewelry from the Western Regions to the Queen Mother to choose from, including earrings like this.

    They are made of the same material, and their styles range from peony-like gold thread patterns to hibiscus, golden bird, and bat. At that time, he chose a pair of peony-like patterns and gave them to Lin Wanqing.

    Now because of the distance, he couldn’t see clearly what style the bride was wearing.However, after thinking about it, Gu Shilang is a veteran of the Ministry of Household Affairs. When the second girl of the He family gets married, it is not an exaggeration for the Queen Mother to reward her with some jewelry at will.Although the bride is fake, the dowry is real.

    “Tsk!” Su Moyi noticed that her thoughts were drifting to Lin Wanqing again, and she wished she could give herself a slap.

    No matter how much he liked her before, he could still distinguish the importance of things, and he would never be so erratic when doing business.

    He held his forehead irritably and began to recite “The Record of Clearing Wrongs” silently.

    “The ceremony is completed──”

    Following the groomsmen’s singing, the newlyweds in the hall stood up from the posture of worshiping each other.

    The band played joy again, and the groom bowed to the guests with a smile, leaned over and picked up the bride, and walked to the bride’s house amidst the noise.

    Su Moyi’s heart tightened when she saw it, and she turned her head and silently tightened her fists.

    This time Lin Wanqing was carried into the new house, and Song Sanlang was dragged by a group of friends and dragged to the front hall to drink and deal with the guests.

    The maids and maids all went down.She then put down the fan she had been holding and rubbed her sore arms first.

    Lin Wanqing deliberately noted the way out when he came.Because she had sneaked into the Song Mansion last time, and Ye Qing’s investigation and explanation beforehand, she now roughly knew which direction to go to the study.

    So she quickly took off her heavy wedding clothes and hairpins, moved her neck and waist that were almost unable to straighten up, took out the evidence that Ye Qing had given her, and walked along the shaded corner of the backyard to the study.

    The journey was smooth, and even the boy only saw a few here and there.

    In fact, it is not to blame that the Song Mansion was not well guarded.Emperor Yonghui came in person today, and everyone in the house was transferred by Song Zhengxing to the wedding banquet to protect the Holy Driver.

    A dark room appeared in front of me.Under the bright moonlight, the three words “Qingzhuzhai” are faintly visible on the plaque.

    This is Song Zhengxing’s study.Lin Wanqing walked around the outside and jumped in through a half-open window.

    The study room is not big, but there are many bookshelves and ancient bookshelves.

    Lin Wanqing wandered inside for a while, thinking about where to put the things in his hands so that they would not be too conspicuous and could be found by Ye Qing and others.

    “Bang!” There was a startling sound, and the door of the study room was suddenly kicked open.

    Lin Wanqing’s heart trembled. She didn’t even have time to put down the things in her hands, so she ran sideways to the end of the bookshelf.

    “Light up!” the person ordered, and the dark surroundings lit up.

    Only then did Lin Wanqing see clearly from a distance that the person coming was none other than Song Sanlang, who was dressed in wedding clothes.

    He had cold eyebrows and a solemn expression. As soon as he entered the door, he asked the boys to search around the study.

    “Third Young Master has no one,” the boy reported, bowing to him.

    “No, it must be here,” Song Sanlang said, with a sinister look in his eyes, “Besides her father’s bedroom, she can only come here.”

    Lin Wanqing understood immediately, thinking that someone had returned to their new house halfway and found that the bride was missing.Therefore, her identity should have been exposed now.

    Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy. She secretly clenched the things in her hands and held her breath.

    “Go and search my father’s bedroom again,” Song Sanlang ordered, “Follow me the rest.”

    After saying that, he took a few boys and walked slowly towards the end of the bookshelf.

    I don’t know if it was intentional or not, Song Sanlang stepped extremely hard with every step, making a frightening sound in the silence of the flickering candlelight, like a sharp weapon chiseling into the temples one by one, making the heart skip a beat.Until the fiery red robe corner stopped in front of her eyes.

    His breathing suddenly stopped, and the official document in his hand was almost soaked with sweat.

    Song Sanlang seemed to stop in front of the bookshelf she had just moved, and remained silent for a long time.

    “Shua──”

    A cooler roared.

    Song Sanlang suddenly pulled out the sword in his hand, and the sound of cracking silk was heard in the study room, accompanied by the muffled sound of thick velvet falling to the ground.

    At the end of the bookshelf, there are two thick velvet curtains used to block light. They hang down to the ground and may hide people.

    Just now, Song Sanlang chopped down one of them with his sword.

    No one.

    Song Sanlang didn’t hesitate for a moment, picked up the sword in his hand and walked towards the other curtain.

    “Shua──”

    There was another harsh sound of ripping silk, and the thick velvet fell to the ground, shaking the candlelight in the study room.

    Still no one.

    “Third Young Master,” the young man came over and said, “It seems she is not here.”

    “Is it gone?” He murmured, “But this bookshelf clearly shows signs of being tampered with.”

    “Maybe he left.” The boy said.

    “Leaving?” Song Sanlang narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke, and his eyes fell on the two pieces of flannel that fell on the ground.

    As his father said, this fact today is really strange.

    Since the murder of Aunt Zhao last time, although the emperor still treated the Song family as usual, he even gave some rewards to show comfort.But secretly, Song Zhengxing knew that the power in his hands was being emptied bit by bit by Emperor Yong Hui.

    At this juncture, Emperor Yonghui actually came to his wedding in person, which is really puzzling.

    It wasn’t until Song Zhengxing reminded him to go back to the house to take a look that he realized: Emperor Yonghui Xu was playing a trick to attack the east and west. With the emperor’s personal visit, he wanted to increase the number of guards and make the Song mansion empty. He took the opportunity to send people to his father’s bedroom or study to look for evidence.

    However, he knew where the essentials were stored, and there was nothing missing there.

    Now that this person has come and gone, could it be that he has not been found and has given up?

    While thinking about it, there was a panic outside the door.

    A young boy rushed in and said tremblingly: “Third Young Master, no, it’s not good. Someone just assassinated the emperor. Now, the emperor has asked the imperial guards to surround the Song Mansion and search for people!”

    “What?” Song Sanlang staggered for two steps before he came to his senses.

    The Song Mansion is quite large, and only his father, his eldest brother and he know where the evidence is stored.If you send people to look for him rashly, you may not have any clue if you find him at dawn.

    But this way, the search became justifiable.

    Harboring assassins is tantamount to treason. Su Moyi will not stop until he takes the opportunity to investigate the Song family.

    Song Sanlang looked slightly stern, walked to a pear wood bookshelf on the side of the study, took out a book from a group of books, and opened it – it turned out to be a dark box.

    “These,” he handed the documents inside to a few servants and said, “burn them all, don’t leave anything behind.”

    After giving the instructions, they locked the study door and went to the main hall.

    Lin Wanqing crawled out of a wooden box under the bookshelf and twisted the earrings hanging in her hair.

    After she discovered someone, she took out all the books from the box, placed them around, and then hid inside.

    This place itself is a study room, and there are a few books next to the wooden box. No one will suspect it.Fortunately, Su Moyi’s side started the incident in time, so she was able to escape the disaster.

    Lin Wanqing looked for Song Sanlang’s position just now, found the secret box, opened it and put the documents in his hand inside.

    After everything was done, Lin Wanqing clapped her hands and jumped out of the study window.

    In the front hall of Song Mansion, Su Moyi was still sitting at the guest table.

    The tea in my hand is just right, it’s Huangshan Maofeng that he likes.The dense fragrance of tea dissipated the pungent smell of firecrackers just now.

    He picked up the teapot and took a sip, his brows and eyes filled with leisure.

    Emperor Yonghui handed over full power here to he and returned to the palace first.Now that the Song Mansion has been surrounded by the imperial guards, Su Moyi also ordered that all the masters and servants of the Song Mansion should be kept in the main hall under the supervision of Dali Temple officials.

    Su Moyi looked at the leaks in the room. The search had only been carried out for a quarter of an hour, but Song Zhengxing on the side was already sweating.

    “Sir,” a Dali Temple official came over and recalled to Su Mo, “My subordinates found this in Song Zhongshu’s study.”

    “Oh?” Su Moyi pretended to be surprised and took over a dark box that looked like a book.

    Inside, was the evidence that he and the emperor handed over to Ye Qing.

    “Put it away and present it to the emperor tomorrow.” He responded casually, glanced at the empty box casually and said, “Keep this box as well, it will be used by Dali Temple to collect evidence.”

    The yamen servant was ordered to leave.

    “Come back!” Su Moyi called him sharply.

    The tea cup in his hand knocked against the table, making a “clang” sound, which made everyone present startled.He quickly stepped forward, took the earring from the Yamen servant’s hand, held it in his hand and looked at it several times, until the last face turned black to the bottom of the pot.

    Under the red candle wedding curtain, a peony-like earring inlaid with carnelian and gold wire lay quietly in the dark box, which was particularly eye-catching.

    Su Moyi took it out in disbelief. The fingers of her well-joined hands were long and slender, but when she held the earring tightly, it felt as if she was about to crush it.

    “This,” Su Moyi asked in a cold tone, “what is it?”

    The yamen servant had long been frightened by Su Moyi’s appearance. He quickly knelt down and cried: “I sent this secret box to you as soon as I found it. I don’t know who the earrings in this box belong to…”

    “Ear earrings…” Su Moyi sneered, handed the ear earrings back to him, and said coldly: “Let’s leave this place to Dali Temple Shaoqing Master Zhu and Guard Ye for the time being. If anything is found out, report directly to them.”

    After saying this, he lifted up his robe, jumped into a carriage, and said in a deep voice: “Go to Dali Temple.”

    ——————

    Qingqing: Oh, it’s exposed…

    Su Gou: Hehe… I’ve bowed down to you, why can’t the bridal chamber continue?
