Chapter 832 Human Skin Mask(1/2)
After interrogating the Hu people, Xiao Yeyang immediately entered the palace.
When the emperor heard that there were two treasures in total, he couldn't help but sneer on his face: "This one in the capital should have been left by the Wan family."
"When the Wan family was ransacked, it was personally handled by Cheng'en Gong. I still remember that after the house was ransacked, the treasury did not receive much. At first I thought it was the Jiang family who had embezzled the Wan family's property. Now think about it.
, probably not found."
After saying that, the emperor looked at Xiao Yeyang: "You said that the Luo family did not know about the Wanjia treasure in advance?"
Xiao Yeyang: "...I think I should know. Duke Chengen is a man of means. Since he didn't find the treasure in Wanjia, it means that the secret passage is not in Wanjia's old house."
"It's not in the Wan family, but there is indeed such a secret passage. Considering the fact that I have been following him during this period, and Luo Qiong's frequent visits to the Duke Wei's Mansion, I believe that the secret passage should be in the Duke Wei's Mansion."

The emperor nodded and sneered: "I think that in order to please Concubine Wan Gui, your grandpa gave many good things to the Wan family. In addition, the Wan family collected a lot of people's wealth from everywhere, and they must have accumulated a lot of wealth.
."
"Luo family..."
The emperor's eyes narrowed.
The Duke of Wei was one of the few nobles who came to him when he took the throne. He has used them a lot over the years, but after so many years, they have never mentioned the Wanjia treasure. If Xiao Ye
If Chi doesn't come back, are they ready to take advantage of these treasures?
When he thought that Duke Wei had an impure heart when he surrendered, the emperor's face became extremely ugly.
Xiao Yeyang took a look at the emperor's face and was silent for a long time before speaking: "Your Majesty, do you want to control the Weiguo Palace now?"
The emperor shook his head: "Don't overwhelm the enemy. The Duke of Wei's palace is right there. If you can't escape, just send someone to spy on you and secretly explore the secret passage. The top priority is to find Xiao Yechi first."
Xiao Yeyang nodded in agreement, and was about to retreat when he suddenly heard the emperor ask.
"Xiao Yechi really married a Tatar princess?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "In the battle in Northern Xinjiang, the Tatar royal family suffered almost all casualties, and the Tatar tribes fell apart as a result. Xiao Yechi probably married the Tatar princess because he wanted to win over the Tatars for his own use."
"I heard from the Hu people that Xiao Yechi now has quite a lot of appeal on the grassland. He returned to Beijing to collect the treasure this time because he wanted to develop and strengthen his own power."
The emperor's face was full of condensation: "This is a man who has forgotten his roots. We cannot let him develop and grow. We must catch him this time."
Xiao Yeyang nodded in agreement.
......
The Duke of Wei's Mansion was under strict supervision, and Jin Lingwei's people secretly investigated several times, but failed to find out where the secret passage was.
Things are not going well here at the Jingyun Terminal. A few days have passed, and no strange passenger ships have entered the port, and no one has transported gold, silver and jewelry here.
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "Xiao Yechi must have noticed something strange."
Sun Changze: "We have followed what the Hu people said and asked him to send flying pigeon messages to Xiao Yechi every three days. How did he notice it?"
Xiao Yeyang: "A man in black died before. It should be because the man in black didn't go back, which made Xiao Yechi wary."
Sun Changze: "What should we do now?"
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a while and took Sun Changze back to Four Seasons Villa.
"Xiao Yechi's clues are broken, now we have to find a breakthrough from Luo Qiong." Xiao Yeyang said to Daohua.
Daohua: "Can I help you with anything?"
Xiao Yeyang: "We have lived in Zhuangzi for a long time, and it's time to go back."
Daohua: "Okay, I'll go talk to Yuan Yao."
Early the next morning, Xiao Yeyang took Daohua back to Prince Ping's Mansion.
......
Chenyuan.
When Xiao Yechen heard that Xiao Yeyang and Daohua had returned home, he was in a good mood because Prince Ping had given him a new ivory ornament, but his face immediately fell.
Luo Qiong told him that his mother-in-law could not worry about him before she died, and told Luo Qiong to help him fight for the title of the prince.
A look of determination appeared on Xiao Yechen's face. For the sake of his mother and concubine, and for the sake of his soon-to-be-born son, he must inherit the royal title.
"Mr. Gong."
Luo Qiong walked into the study in a wide dress: "I made some white fungus soup and brought you a bowl."
Because her belly was getting bigger and bigger, she was worried that Xiao Yechen would find something wrong. During this period, she avoided him whenever she could.
But now that Xiao Yeyang and his wife are back, she has to take advantage of the period when her father is particularly fond of Xiao Yechen due to the death of her mother and concubine, and find a way to drive a wedge between her father and Ping Xitang.
Thinking of the child in Luo Qiong's belly, Xiao Yechen finally stopped keeping a straight face towards Luo Qiong: "Just let the servants deliver it to you. You are pregnant and should have a good rest in your room."
Luo Qiong smiled and said: "I listen to my husband and I will stay in the room well in the future."
Xiao Yechen's face looked much better, and he picked up the white fungus soup and drank it in a dignified manner.
Luo Qiong was silent: "Ms. sir, I heard that the second brother and the second sister are back."
Xiao Yechen put down the bowl and looked at Luo Qiong: "What do you want to do?" It had to be said that he knew Luo Qiong somewhat and knew that she would not mention Xiao Yeyang and his wife for no reason.
Luo Qiong put her hand on her belly: "My mother has just passed away, so we can't have meat on the table."
As soon as he heard this, Xiao Yechen understood: "I understand, you can go back to your room and rest."
Luo Qiong smiled and nodded, touching her belly and said, "The child is very well-behaved. If he knows that my husband cares about him so much, he will be glad to be reborn in my belly."
Xiao Yechen's expression softened a little, and he stood up and personally helped Luo Qiong back to the house.
At noon that day, Luo Qiong was having lunch, and Xueling walked in with a smile: "Girl, there is fish and meat in the food in Pingxitang. The prince found out about this, and the prince immediately scolded the second master and the second master.
Grandma, they said they disrespected the dead."
A successful smile appeared on Luo Qiong's face: "How did the second master react?"
Xueling: "Of course the second master retorted, saying that the princess was not his biological mother and he would not honor his filial piety. As soon as these words came out, the prince became even more angry. Even if the second mistress was there to smooth things over, he couldn't stop her.
The prince waved his sleeves and left."
After hearing this, Luo Qiong was in a good mood and ate half a bowl of rice more.
To alienate people's feelings, you don't need to do anything earth-shattering, just put some effort into trivial matters.
How much affection does your father have for Xiao Yeyang since he was never raised by him since he was a child?
After lunch, Luo Qiong was walking under the eaves and happened to bump into Xiao Yechen who was coming back from outside.
Luo Qiong greeted Xiao Yechen with a smile on her face, but Xiao Yechen glanced at her indifferently, and then went straight to the room of her favorite concubine.
Xiao Yechen's reaction made Luo Qiong frown a little. It stands to reason that he had slandered Xiao Yeyang and his wife, so he should be happy: "Go and find out, sir, what's going on?"
Xueling nodded and left, and soon came back: "Girl, Gao Fang, who was beside the uncle, said that the uncle was in a good mood on the way back, but on the way, the second uncle stopped him and said a few words, and then the uncle
His face darkened and he was very unhappy."
Luo Qiong frowned, and she couldn't help but feel irritated when she thought about Yan Yiyi's previous remarks about the wrong month of the baby in her belly.
Did Xiao Yeyang mention this matter to Xiao Yechen again?
In the concubine's room in the side courtyard, Xiao Yechen sat expressionless in front of the window, constantly thinking about what Xiao Yeyang had just said to him.
"Xiao Yechen, instead of taking the opportunity to cause trouble here, why not find out how your mother and concubine died?"
"He fell down the stone steps and died. You actually believed such a far-fetched reason."
"As a son of man, if you can't even find out the cause of your biological mother's death, you are still a son of man in vain."
"By the way, let me tell you something. The day before your mother-in-law died, someone seemed to have been following Luo Qiong."
Xiao Yechen's chest rose and fell sharply, and things that he had not thought about before suddenly came to mind bit by bit.
Luo Qiong made an impromptu decision to go to the temple to offer incense because of a nightmare, but why did Mrs. Wei Guogong also go that day?
Could it be that they, mother and daughter, had colluded long ago?
Also, why did the mother-in-law send someone to follow Luo Qiong?
What did she find?
At this time, the concubine came over with a tea cup.
This concubine is the eldest maid next to Princess Ma. She has served Princess Ma for many years and knows her temperament and temperament very well.
Xiao Yechen grabbed the concubine's hand and said, "Do you know why the concubine suddenly went to the temple to offer incense that day?"
The concubine hesitated for a moment: "Sir, I heard that the reason why the princess went to the temple with her was because she wanted the Ma family's midwife to feel the eldest grandma's belly to confirm how many months old the child was in her belly.
”
Xiao Yechen's head exploded with a 'boom', and his eyes became extremely scarlet.
When the concubine saw it, she was shocked and quickly reassured her: "Master, I have also heard about this. I have to go check it out to find out the details of the matter."
Xiao Yechen slowly calmed down and then strode out of the room.
......
"Girl, the uncle has left the house and seems to have gone to Ma's house."
