"Concubine Niangniang, what do you mean by this?" Of course, Wang Yuan could only pretend to be confused, although he knew that he might not be able to pretend to be confused.

Yang Guifei sneered, stretched out her slender jade hand and picked up an envelope from the small table next to her and threw it at Wang Yuan's feet: "Look for yourself, don't say that I wronged you." ”

Wang Yuan bent down to pick up the envelope, his fingers trembled a little, trying his best to remind himself to be calm, and finally pulled out the paper inside, reading it line by line, his body was hot, but there was a cold sweat.

What the letter said is about Li Xin'er's identity and the record of several meetings between herself and Li Fuguo. For a moment, Wang Yuan had an urge to tear the letter to shreds, but he knew that once he did this, it would be tantamount to taking the initiative to confess, and there would be no room for maneuver. Even if you tear up this letter, you will die without a place to bury.

"Can you see clearly?" Yang Guifei said coldly.

Wang Yuan handed over the letter with both hands, Yang Guifei didn't stretch out his hand, Wang Yuan had to step forward and put the letter on the small table, bowed and stepped back.

"What do you say?" Yang Guifei said.

Wang Yuan was calm, and quickly thought about how to deal with it in his mind, and decided to find out how much details Yang Guifei knew about this matter before making a calculation. At this point, any radical impulses can lead to disastrous consequences. And from the current situation, it can be concluded that only the concubine knows about this matter, and Yang Guozhong, Mrs. Qin Guo and others don't know about it, otherwise how could Yang Guozhong hold a banquet to entertain him not long ago. With Yang Guozhong's temper, once he knew about it, he would have blown up the pot a long time ago.

"Mother, but I don't know where this letter came from." Wang Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"It doesn't hurt to say that you listen to it, this letter was handed over to me by the third sister for her safekeeping a month ago, and after the third sister died, I sorted out her relics and saw this letter. The third sister said that once something big happens, I can open this letter. Now that she has committed suicide, I naturally want to open it to see the contents, but what I didn't expect is that this letter actually remembers your secret. It's a shame that the whole Yang family treats you as their own, and it turns out that you actually eat inside and out, which is really chilling. ”

Wang Yuan suddenly realized, sure enough, it was Mrs. Qiu Guo who made the ghost, before killing her that night, she said that she had left a secret letter in the place of others, and said that she would never be able to set foot in the place, that was by Yang Guifei's side. It's a pity that I didn't realize this at the time, and even thought that Mrs. Qiu Guo was talking about self-protection before she died. Now it's troublesome, the secret is still difficult to keep, and he can trap and kill Mrs. Qiuguo, but the concubine in front of him doesn't dare to move even half a hair, and the way to kill people and kill her mouth is not to think about it.

"Niangniang is angry, what does Niangniang think this letter can mean?" Wang Yuan asked fixedly.

"I want to ask you, but you come to me." Yang Guifei shouted.

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "The minister doesn't dare to deceive Niangniang, the things recorded in this letter are true, my wife Li is indeed the dancing girl who escaped from Li Linfu's mansion called Li Twelve Niang, and she is indeed the apprentice of Gongsun Auntie." When I was patrolling the night in Yong'an Fang, I saw that she was seriously injured, and I didn't know what her identity was, so I saved her in a daze. Later, after a long time, I married her, and by the time I knew her identity, she was already my wife. Niangniang thinks, should I confess her to Li Xiangguo for disposal, or should I try my best to protect her and hide her identity for her? ”

Yang Guifei frowned and was silent, she was a scheming woman, and her temperament was also very soft and quiet, although she was favored by His Majesty and enjoyed the glory and wealth, but in her heart she actually longed for another life. She is a concubine, but she is also a woman, and most women are emotional, so the choice between love and reason given by Wang Yuan is obviously inclined to the former for Yang Guifei.

Wang Yuan saw that she didn't answer, and knew that he had hit her weakness. At the same time, she also faintly noticed that Yang Guifei knew nothing about Li Xin'er's identity, the case of Wei Jianhuang Fu Weiming and the connection with the crown prince. This is great news. At least Li Xin'er's identity problem can be solved independently, once the concubine recognizes her attitude, she will no longer be entangled in this matter and involved in the matter of her own meeting with Li Fuguo.

"The concubine may want to blame the minister for sheltering the person next to the pillow, but the minister doesn't want to be a ruthless and unrighteous person, so he can only do so. And for this matter, the minister was almost killed by Li Xiangguo's subordinates, but the minister had no regrets. Later, the Yang family blessed the minister, and the minister was able to protect himself and his family, so the minister's family was grateful to the Yang family, and asked the mother to take a look. ”

Yang Guifei really doesn't know the details of the twists and turns here, and she is usually not interested in listening to the battles and power struggles outside, and she only knows a little about everything. When Yang Guozhong tried his best to recommend Wang Yuan as a bachelor of Hanlin, he did say that Wang Yuan was persecuted by Li Linfu's subordinates, and this matter also echoed each other.

"Then let me ask you, why do you and Li Fuguo frequently meet and talk secretly? Although I don't ask about affairs, I'm not ignorant of affairs, since you are a member of my Yang family, but you have a secret relationship with someone from the East Palace, is this a proper behavior? As far as I know, all the forces in the court like to spy on each other's secrets, are you the secret agent sent by the prince to my Yang family to spy on them? Yang Guifei is simple, but she is by no means a fool, and this is also the question she wants to ask most when she summoned Wang Yuan today.

Wang Yuan knew that if he didn't deal with this issue properly, he would have no chance, and he had no other way but to squirm like a spring tongue to fool the noble concubine in front of him. If even Mrs. Qiu Guo could be fooled into believing by herself, the simple woman in front of her should be easier.

"Niangniang, before the minister responds to your question, the minister wants to ask Niangniang something. It's not that the minister doesn't answer Niangniang's inquiry, but the minister is worried that Niangniang thinks that what the minister says is a quibble, so the minister must ask Niangniang something. ”

"Just ask." Yang Guifei said lightly.

"Thank you Niangniang, Niangniang just told the minister that this letter was left by the third lady, can the minister understand it like this, the third lady knows what all the ministers in this letter did."

"Needless to say? This letter was left to me by the third sister, and she will naturally know the contents. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "That's it, what the minister wants to ask is, since the third lady knows what the minister did in this letter, why didn't the third lady inform the mother or inform Yang Zuoxiang, the eighth lady." It stands to reason that the third lady should also wonder if I am a spy sent by outsiders, and she chooses to keep it secret, isn't it puzzling? ”

Yang Guifei frowned and thought for a while: "Your question is indeed a little strange, she should know more about these external things than me, but why is she reluctant to speak up?" This is a bit unreasonable. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Niangniang can't figure it out, but I dare to analyze it with Niangniang." ”

"Tell me about it." Yang Guifei changed her sitting posture, picked up the fan and shook it gently.

Chen believes that the third lady is a smart person, although she knew that Chen and Li Fuguo had dealings, but she did not rashly expose the matter, that is because she believed that Chen would never betray the Yang family. The third lady and Yang Zuoxiang saw what the minister was doing, and she could see it clearly if the minister was wholeheartedly working for the Yang family, so even if she found out that I had such an abnormal behavior, she would not easily guess anything. Otherwise, this letter would have been made public a long time ago, instead of being kept by Niangniang and hidden here. ”

Yang Guifei didn't say anything, but she also recognized Wang Yuan's words in her heart, if the third sister decided that Wang Yuan was a spy, how could she be so calm? I'm afraid that the third sister actually doesn't believe that Wang Yuan will be a spy of the prince's party.

"However, why did the third sister leave this letter, since she doesn't believe that you are a spy, she should be open and honest about the matter, or seek your explanation. Before that, did the third sister look for you? Got that in mind? Yang Guifei asked.

"Nope." Wang Yuan refused, once he admitted that Mrs. Qiu Guo had found him because of this matter, the Yang family, who already had some doubts about Mrs. Qiu Guo's death, would immediately have doubts about themselves, which could not be admitted.

The minister was also thinking about this issue, and the minister felt that the third lady didn't want to make this matter public, and the reason why she didn't go to the minister to ask was probably to protect the minister. Because once this matter is made public, even if Zuo Xiang and Eighth Lady also trust the minister, after all, there will be some pimples in my heart, which will affect the intimate and unsuspicious relationship between me and the Yang family. Now that the Yang family is facing a huge challenge, and all forces are eyeing the Yang family, in this case, internal suspicion is equivalent to civil strife, which will give others an opportunity to take advantage of. I think the third lady must have taken these into consideration, so she chose to keep it a secret. Of course, it cannot be denied that the third lady is actually not at ease with me, and these evidences are kept because they will one day ask me for questioning, so they will leave this letter with the mother and never tell anyone. ”

Yang Guifei's simple little head was almost confused, Wang Yuan's words were reasonable, and with her limited judgment ability, it was indeed difficult to cope with such complex thinking. In addition, Wang Yuan not only praised Mrs. Qiuguo but also created the current atmosphere of the Yang family's enemy, which made Yang Guifei feel that what the third sister did was indeed meaningful. If you can't figure it out, you can't force it to explain.

But one thing is obvious, Yang Guifei knows that this is the key to the problem no matter how much her brain is insufficient, and she needs to ask clearly.

"Wang Yuan, even if the third sister thinks so, what guarantee do you have to ensure that you are loyal to my Yang family? It's a fact that you met Li Fuguo, how do you explain this? Don't say that you and Li Fuguo are just chatting and laughing, and don't get involved in any sensitive topics. Yang Guifei said coldly.
