In the Yasukuni Mansion, Zhang was accompanying Cheng Xuan's bed to take care of him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Seeing that he was already asleep, he couldn't help but look tired, and yawned with his hands over his face.

Since she heard of Cheng Yu's disappearance yesterday, she, as the mistress of this family, naturally has to take the lead in commanding, busy in and out, so that Cheng Yan feels that she must bow down to her family and care about her family. So tossing until now, I haven't closed my eyes overnight.

Now the prince has turned against him, and his son has broken his leg for no reason, and the troubles have come one after another, making her unable to sleep.

Especially after seeing Cheng Sujin running back in a hurry, most of the sleepiness dissipated.

She raised her sleeves to tuck the corners of the quilt for Cheng Xuan, made a silent gesture, and stood up lightly.

"Why did you come back alone, your father?"

Walking out of the warm pavilion of the west wing room to the empty side hall, Zhang opened his mouth nervously.

The reason why she didn't stay in the West Wing was because she was afraid of disturbing Cheng Xuan's rest, but in the end, she was worried that the conversation between the two would accidentally reach Cheng Xuan's ears.

After all, they are all shady things, and there is no way to make a mistake, especially in front of his righteous son, who has no heart and is still righteous, he must be cautious again and again, just in case.

"Mother, I'm afraid things are not good. Cheng Sujin breathed a sigh of relief and frowned unwillingly, "At this time, they may have all found Hanqing." ”

As she spoke, she roughly informed the Zhang family about everything that happened after she and Cheng Yan and the others went to Dali Temple, especially when mentioning Cheng Jinzhi's attitude towards Gu Hanqing, she even added fuel to the fire and described her as a sinister woman who coveted her husband, and the Zhang family, who was already upset, was even more angry when she heard it.

"If we can't bring down King Yan this time, Cheng Jinzhi won't take us seriously in the future. Zhang's face was gloomy, and his words were like ice, "But although we have the same goal as the prince, he actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge in order to eliminate dissidents this time, and he really did enough." ”

Cheng Sujin's eyes tightened when he heard this, and his eyes flickered a few times: "But the prince took away Hanqing, isn't it just as you wish?"

"Then have you thought about it, the prince and your father were originally in the same boat, and now he wants to push your father down for his own selfish interests......" Zhang said excitedly, suddenly looked up vigilantly and looked around, only then did he lower his voice and continue, "If King Yan loses power, and the prince will dominate the court from now on, will he still rely on your father as before?" Of course he won't." ”

Indeed, Zhang's concerns are not unfounded.

Cheng Yan still has real power in his hands at the moment, even if he parted ways with the prince, he still has a place in the court, and it is difficult to shake it easily.

But the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, all dynasties and dynasties have many birds hiding their bows, rabbits and dead dogs. The prince is ruthless, and now he can not miss the old feelings and treachery for the sake of a Yan king, and when he really ascends to the throne, if Cheng Yan does not bow down and obey as a courtier, he will inevitably be framed, or even killed.

"Jin'er, you have to know..."Zhang's eyes were cold, and he took a deep breath and straightened his back: "Only when your father and the Cheng family stand tall can we be rich and prosperous, and we will be prosperous for a lifetime." ”

"But no matter what my father says, he is also a dignified Yasukuni Gong. Since the prince is unkind, he can also be unjust, but why do I always have a feeling that he is always restrained by the prince?"

Listening to Cheng Sujin's words, Zhang deliberately avoided her gaze, lowered his eyes and sighed helplessly, as if he didn't want to answer this question. After being silent for a long time, Fang slowly raised his eyes and said perfunctorily: "All in all, this time it was indeed our mistake. “

Cheng Sujin is clever, although he is quiet on the surface, he has already seen the unspeakable hidden in Zhang's eyes in his heart.

But at the same time, she also realized that the hidden story behind this may be very important, even if she asks more, Zhang will not tell the truth, it is better to pretend to be unaware of it to keep an eye on herself, and then slowly verify it in private in the future.

Thinking of this, Cheng Sujin's eyes fluttered and his pupils tightened: "Mother, since this matter cannot be perfect no matter what, then we must minimize the losses and maximize the benefits." ”

Zhang stared at Cheng Sujin's flashing eyes: "Jin'er, what do you want to say?"

"I'm worried now that if Hanqing is found by them first, if the second sister and they can return safely, it won't be of any benefit to us. But if it doesn't, then everything is bound to go in a very different direction. ”

"Then when you went to Dali Temple, didn't the prince tell you where he hid people?"

"Nope. Cheng Sujin gritted his teeth resentfully, "He can be ungrateful to his father, and he is naturally more wary of me, how can he be honest with me? If he was willing to tell me where to hide Han Qing, I would definitely be able to find a way to stop King Yan from looking for someone, and things would not have turned out like this." ”

"In the end, it's all to blame on those hateful Jianghu people. Zhang snorted coldly and unconsciously embedded his nails in the back of his hand, "If they don't make a hindrance and tie up the Cheng family's heirs, everything will be smooth, how can it set off this turmoil?"

"Madame, Miss. ”

Just when Zhang felt that his blood was surging, the leader of the guards sent by Cheng Yan to search for him had already stood at the door and came to reply to him.

Zhang and Cheng Sujin glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked, "Is it the little young master that they have news?"

"The subordinates have carefully searched the inside and outside of the Jade Pavilion on Suzaku Street. The guard couldn't help but say with a sad face, "But I didn't find any trace of the second lady and the little master." ”

"I'll just say, how can a place like Shuyu Pavilion be the place where those Jianghu people harbor hostages?"

When Cheng Sujin and Zhang heard this, they both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"You can't even find people in the place where your father thinks it's most likely, can they really evaporate from the world?" a strange look appeared in Zhang's eyes, and then he wondered, "But this Vermilion Bird Street is not far from Cheng Mansion, and the place in Shuyu Pavilion is not big, why did you come back to recover your life now?"

"That's because...," the guard paused for a moment before explaining, "Because His Royal Highness the King of Jin was also in the Jade Pavilion at the time, he came forward to stop his subordinates, and his subordinates were not easy to offend, so they could only deal with them, so it took some time, and asked the lady and the eldest lady to forgive their sins." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I'm afraid he went there to have fun, right?" Cheng Sujin raised the corners of his mouth disdainfully, "I heard that the reason why this Jade Pavilion is famous is actually because the children of the family took out the money. It seems that among them, there is also the credit of His Royal Highness King Jin. ”

Cheng Sujin said sneeringly, but he heard Zhang's asking: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin can say why don't you let you search the Jade Pavilion?"

He seemed to be a regular visitor there, and said that this was a place of elegance, and that we who wielded swords and swords should not frighten the girls there and spoil the atmosphere there. ”

Zhang's bright eyes moved slightly: "Then why was he willing to let you search again?"

"It's strange to say. The guard said thoughtfully, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin's attitude has indeed changed a little too quickly, and some time ago, he stood in front of people and obstructed him, but then for some reason, he suddenly agreed generously. It seems to ......"

"Seems like what?"

"As if we knew we wouldn't be able to find the hostages. ”
