Du Shiyi bought the house next to her house and renovated it separately, and then gave it to Cui Jianxuan and Du Shisanniang to live in, while Mrs. Zhao Guo and Cui Wuniang and Cui Jiuniang also lived here most of the time, and the side door connecting the two families was naturally always open, but someone was set up to guard it. For such an arrangement, Du Sanniang is the happiest. At this time, she stood in Du Shiyi's study, personally dusted off the calligraphy and paintings in the scroll and the floating ash on the scroll, and then turned to the big bookcase where her brother often sits.

However, although she was not taboo in and out of this study, she would not go to her brother's belongings casually without permission, so she just put down the dust and wiped the bookcase with a soft cloth. But just as she straightened up, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open suddenly, and it was none other than Liu Mo, who used to be a servant of the Cui family in the past, but now it is Liu Mo from Du Shiyi's ministry.

"Lady, it's not good......"

"What's wrong? Don't panic, speak slowly. ”

Liu Mo regained his composure after seeing Du Sanniang stunned, and he immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The palace sent someone to pick up a book in Lang Jun's study, what is it called "Stone". This kind of thing should have been accompanied by Lang Jun in person, and at worst, there would be Brother Chibi next to them, but only people from the palace came, and it was Yang Siqiao, the general of the right prison guard!"

Hearing this, Du Sanniang was also stunned. However, after all these years of following her brother, she has finally suffered many changes, and her mind is far more resolute than that of ordinary women, and at this moment she frowned and said calmly: "Don't scare yourself yet." Brother is not here, and there is no other owner in this house, so I will go to see General Yang. You instruct all the upper and lower levels to play jīng gods, and not to show panic. Brother walks right, sits upright, and has nothing to say to others, so why fear that the saint will send someone to his home to borrow books?"

When Du Sanniang came out of the study, she happened to collide with Yang Siqiao and his party who came in. She had seen the dignified Colliers before, but it was the first time Yang Siqiao had seen it, and she had only heard of this invincible reputation on the battlefield. At this moment, she felt the fierce momentum of Yang Siqiao's face, especially the undisguised fierce light in her eyes, which made people just want to retreat. She stiffly pressed the fear in her heart, and calmly asked, "I don't know what kind of books General Yang wants from my brother's study here?"

Yang Siqiao and Du Shiyi have met twice, because the other party has carried Wang Maozhong, and he has a good impression of him. At this moment, seeing that this young woman could not show timidity in front of him, he couldn't help but look at people with some surprise, and then said concisely: "On the order of Bixia, take the "Stone" hidden by Du Shiji. ”

This book was a Dragon Boat Festival gift sent by Princess Yuzhen back then, and Du Shisanniang was extremely impressed. Seeing that Yang Siqiao didn't mention why she borrowed the book, she said bluntly: "Bixia's order, I should obey it, and I will take General Yang to get it." It's just that after Princess Yuzhen gave this book to her brother, he has been proofreading from the side, and I don't know if those proofreadings can be sent to the palace together? These proofnotes are quite messy, if General Yang allows it, can I enter the palace with me and present them to Bixia together?"

The angry look on his calm face when the Son of Heaven ordered this, Yang Siqiao still felt that it was right in front of him at the moment, and he couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this. The wrath of the Son of Heaven is difficult to resist even if it is a famous general, let alone such a woman? But looking at Du Sanniang's calm and calm face, he thought about it, but he only felt that there was a thrill in his eyes, and finally nodded heavily: "Okay, that's the case, Du Niangzi will go and get it, and I will take you into the palace." It's just that it needs to be faster, and Bixia doesn't wait for anyone. ”

"Thank you, General Yang!"

Liu Mo on the side didn't want Du Sanniang to suddenly make such a decision, and after being dumbfounded, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, and quietly slipped to the side door next to the connection to temporarily borrow the Cui family. It just so happened that at this time, it was Cui Wuniang who hurriedly came over with two maidservants, and as soon as he took a look, he immediately made a silent gesture to Cui Wuniang, and immediately reported the current situation at home in a low voice.

"There is such a thing...... Cui Wuniang also immediately frowned, and after a long silence, she smiled bitterly, "Thirteen Niang is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, what she decides, it is useless for me to persuade her, not to mention that General Yang has already allowed her." Bixia will definitely not borrow a book from a courtier for no reason, and for this reason, I will try to find out one or two. You restrain the whole family, don't go out, don't mess up, just wait for the news. Remember, if Eleven Lang comes back, he must not be allowed to act rashly, if anything is disturbed by his impulse, it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath, and Jiu Niang is the same, they are not allowed to mess around!"

When Du Sanniang found the whole book of "Stone", even the proofnotes with Du Shiyi, and packed three large boxes, Yang Simiao took a big turn in Du Shiyi's study, and even swept away many files on the bookcase. In the face of this scene, Du Sanniang didn't say half a word, just followed Yang Siqiao out of the door and got on the horse, and went straight to Daming Palace.

Although I had followed Princess Yuzhen into the palace at night, I only went to the pear orchard at that time, and this time I walked in it in broad daylight, and the feeling was very different. The attendants who came and went, as well as the official uniforms from purple to red to green and blue, she saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart.

Brother Nali Zheng Academy is in Daming Palace, does he know or not, and now he is okay? Chibi and the others should have been by his side, and they should be waiting in front of Daming Palace at this moment, but why didn't they see anyone when they came over just now?

And when Li Longji listened to Yang Simao's report and learned that Du Shiyi's sister personally sent these scrolls, he suddenly thought that Du Shiyi was intercepted and killed on the eve of the Jingzhao Mansion's examination, and Du Shisanniang begged Princess Yuzhen to enter the palace to express her feelings. Although he was the son of the Tang Dynasty, he no longer remembered that face, but he still vaguely remembered the scene when the weak and slender girl was not afraid to express her feelings in front of her. Although his heart was extremely angry, he could see the three huge boxes in the main hall, and he was impatient to read them one by one, and frowned and said in a deep voice: "Since you are here, I will announce people to the temple." ”

In the Zichen Palace, except for the ministers and a very small number of ministers, few others can take half a step, and the same is true for the top orders such as Mrs. Guo, not to mention that Cui Jianxuan is not yet at the level of a wife and a son. When Du Sanniang followed Yang Siqiao to the hall, she saw that all the attendants on both sides were standing with their hands down, without a sound, the floor tiles under her feet were as smooth as a mirror, and the atmosphere that was so stagnant that it was almost heavy pressed down from the top of her head, making it almost difficult for people to straighten their bodies. In this solemn atmosphere, when she had prayed to her, she had to prick her palm with her fingernails to remind herself to be calm.

"This "Stone" written by Liu Zixuan, where did your brother come from?"

"Back to Bixia, it was the Dragon Boat Festival in the past year, the courtiers sent a gift to Yuzhenguan instead of Brother, and Princess Yuzhen gave this book to Brother as a return gift. Your lord knew that Brother Ah liked historical tales, so he specially gave this set of books to Brother. ”

Li Longji has heard of this answer, but now what matters is not who sent it, but that the crown prince Li Siqian actually asked Du Shiyi to borrow a book! He breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Since you deliberately followed Yang Siqiao into the palace and said that your brother once made annotations for "Stone", you can find out those proofnotes and show them to me!"

Du Sanniang immediately responded, and waited for a few chamberlains to go up and open the box, and she quickly found her brother's first volume of annotations, so she presented them with both hands. After Yang Siqiao took it and forwarded it to the Son of Heaven, she retreated to her original position, and then said softly: "Brother has always had the habit of copying books, and this proofreading is made after re-copying. First, it is to prevent Liu Gong from occasionally missing and fallacious when he writes books, and secondly, because he has a sense of reading history, so he leaves annotations and comments so that he can read them again when he revisits them. ”

Li Longji swept it roughly, and he had already found that Du Shiyi's so-called proofreading had actually copied the original text. And several of the notes are comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the current dynasty and the previous dynasty, and there are many words of praise for the saints. As the Son of Heaven, he was used to hearing such good words, but finding such content in such a private collection was enough to slow down his originally extremely bad mood a little. Most of his anger was directed at the quiet correspondence between the crown prince Li Siqian and Du Shiyi, but a small part of it was because Liu Zhiji, the author of "Stone", was a famous Confucian, but he died in office after his dethronement, and felt that Du Shiyi had another purpose for hiding "Stone". At this time, since his mood was no longer as bad as he was at the beginning, he read a few more pages with great interest, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Liu Zhiji's historical skills were not trivial, and Du Shiyi's proofreading was also just right.

Therefore, after reading the rough half of the volume, he closed the book, and suddenly thought of the proofnotes in front of him, which seemed to be the form of thread-bound books that were popular among the people, and even gradually adopted in the Lizheng Academy in the palace, and this was one of Du Shiyi's contributions, so he asked Yang Siqiao on the side: "But you also brought other things?"

Yang Siqiao has not followed Li Longji for a day or two, and immediately bowed down and said: "There seems to be an unfinished volume on the bookcase, and a few miscellaneous books were copied on the side, and the minister brought them with him. ”

As soon as these words came out, Du Shisanniang, who was standing next, felt a tense in his heart. She always wanted to tell herself that the worries at the beginning were all her own thoughts, but Yang Siqiao not only brought "Stone", but also deliberately took the things that her brother put on the bookcase. Seeing Li Longji unfold the scroll and change his face after a hurried sweep, she couldn't help but bite her lips tightly, thinking about whether she could do anything more. Unexpectedly, Li Longji suddenly got up from his seat and said in a deep voice: "Go to Lizheng Academy!"

Yang Siqiao immediately agreed, and made a gesture to order the left and right attendants to follow. When he followed the side of the Son of Heaven and passed by Du Sanniang, he thought about it and quietly sent an attendant over. The waiter came to Du Sanniang's side, and said in a very polite whisper: "Bixia wants to drive the Lizheng Academy, Du Niangzi should go home first!"

Du Sanniang watched the Son of Heaven and his party hurriedly leave the Zichen Palace, although her heart became more and more worried, she knew that she had already done everything she could, and she could only look at her brother next.
