“回殿下的话,定北侯府的确与叶初棠来往过密。听说当初定北侯世子被刺,命悬一线,就是叶初棠出手相救。加上长公主对叶初棠几多照拂,二人的关系相较于其他人而言,的确更为亲近。”

整个京城,谁不知长公主府与定北侯府都是叶初棠的靠山?
萧成霖若有所思。

刚才那一幕,他可以肯定,沈延川对叶初棠绝对不一般。

至于叶初棠……

“殿下,可要派人暗中调查?”

萧成霖摇头:“不用了。”

“是。”

眼下更要紧的,是进宫之后即将面临的场面。

想到先前宫里人匆匆来召的模样,萧成霖轻嗤一笑。

今天想必会有一场好戏了……

……

叶初棠与沈延川分别之后,便回了叶府。

进了房间,叶初棠来到桌案之前,从怀中取出一本薄薄的册子。

小五坐在一旁玩儿,无意撇了一眼,匆匆看到上面似有“起居注”的字样。

她也没太在意,兀自又摆了棋盘。

阿姐上次留下了一个残局,她想了好几天都没想出破解之法。

叶初棠看着那本册子,眸色沉静。

这是穆武帝近三个月以来的起居注,上面清晰记录了穆武帝在这段时间里,每日起床与就寝的时辰,以及一日三餐所用食物及茶饮。

这是极机密的东西,按说叶初棠是绝没有可能看到的。

所以,这一本其实是拓本——出自长公主之手。

自从诊出穆武帝有心症以后,她就怀疑是有人下毒,在穆武帝的日常起居中动了手脚。

和长公主暗示过后,长公主沉思良久,并于今日将这份起居注给了她。

叶初棠翻开第一页。

一边看,她一边想,当皇帝虽然是无数人的梦想,但这个最高的位置,却总是充满血腥与残忍。

那把龙椅,就是这世上最华丽的牢笼。

自由?

那是最奢侈的东西,即便是万人之上的皇帝,也同样如此。

叶初棠看得很快,一页页翻过,不觉时间流逝,竟转眼就到了晚上。

她点了灯,又就着昏黄的烛火继续看下去。

不久,旁边传来一道“咕噜”声响。

叶初棠回过神来,侧头看去,就撞上一双不好意思的大眼睛。

小五红着脸捂着小肚子。

——其实她也不是有心打扰阿姐的!但是这肚子实在是太不争气了!

叶初棠揉了揉她的小脑袋。

“天色这么晚了,饿坏了吧?怎么也不提醒我?”

小五腼腆一笑。

刚才丫鬟来请过她们去用膳,但她看阿姐实在是入神,不忍心打扰,就挥挥手让丫鬟下去了。

她很少看阿姐这么专注地看一本书呢!
叶初棠自然猜得出她的心思,笑着捏捏她的脸蛋。

“这册子今天看明天看都是一样的,也不差这一时半刻。先去吃饭。”

反正穆武帝已经中招了。

不过是查明真相的早晚之差罢了。

说着,她站起身,准备将册子合上去用膳。

临走的时候,她无意多看了一眼,却忽然顿住了步伐。

看着上面的那行字迹,她的眸子缓缓眯起——(本章完)

侯爷的掌心娇是朵黑心莲
Author:

Heir of a traditional medical family, Ye Chutang rolled through life for a lifetime, only to unexpectedly die just as she was about to inherit. Reborn, she only wanted to be a slacker and live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, she suffered a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her with three younger siblings. The third brother was seriously injured, the fourth brother was in a coma, and there was also a baby crying for milk. She weighed the cold steamed bun in her hand, looked despairingly at the sky, and thought that managing three at once was worse than starting over. The little baby tugged at her pant leg. "Hungry." Ye Chutang: "..." Get up and work! ...Ye Chutang’s plan was perfect; once she raised the children, she could retire and enjoy her later years. Yet, a man had different intentions. "Miss Ye, after all these years, shouldn't there be an explanation?" Ye Chutang: "6." You used to linger at my doorstep and now it’s my fault? ... The Ye family was impressive: Ye Sanlang was the top scholar of the current dynasty, Ye Si-lang had made great military achievements in the northwest, and Ye Wu girl had a commercial empire rivaling the rich and powerful. Only Ye Er-girl was busy raising her younger siblings, unknowingly aging and facing difficulties in marriage. Until one day, the powerful Duke of Dingbei, Shen Yanchaun, arrived with a bridal procession ten miles long to welcome her. Ye Chutang remained silent for a long time. "This time, you take care of the kids."
