The Qiu clan almost cried with joy, and stood up excitedly and said, "Tell my mother, did you fall in love with the noble daughter of the Taishi Mansion when you participated in the wedding of the fifth princess this time?"

Seeing Qiu's excited appearance, Jing Yan warmed his heart and said, "Mother, the child did meet the Li sisters of the Taishi Mansion, and I feel ...... It's not bad to marry her. Li Ruolin's face was more delicate than a flower in his mind.

Qiu's surprise shouted: "My mother will send a matchmaker to the Taishi Mansion tomorrow to propose marriage!"

Jing Yan's smiling face was gone, revealing a look of embarrassment. "Mother, you're in a hurry. The child's current official position is too small, and you send someone to the Taishi's Mansion to propose marriage, and the matchmaker is afraid that it will be ...... will be kicked out. ”

"They dare!" Qiu slapped the table, and the momentum was overwhelming!

Jing Yan saw the Qiu family's might, and admonished with some fear: "Mother, the child wants to wait for a period of time to be promoted, and then you can send a matchmaker to the Taishi Mansion to propose marriage." The child doesn't want to be poked in the back and say that the child has climbed the Taishi Mansion!"

Qiu's eyes darkened and he sighed. "Yan'er, no matter how high you are, you can't compare to your eldest brother, I'm afraid you still won't be able to enter the eyes of those people in the Taishi Mansion. ”

Jing Yan saw that the Qiu clan stepped on him and held him high, and suddenly said unhappily: "Mother, the Taishi Mansion will not be able to jump for a few days! They will soon be unlucky!"

Qiu looked at Jing Yan in surprise. "Why?"

Jing Yan hesitated for a moment and told the truth. The child learned that the eldest son of the Taishi, Li, was on the side of the prime minister.

The five princes are very dissatisfied with the Taishi family, and you have heard about the people who have recently joined forces with the prince to suppress the prime minister's faction.

I heard that it won't be long before the five princes will make a move on the prime minister.

At that time, the tree will fall and scatter, and once Li Zheng is implicated by the prime minister and removed from his official position, the power of the Taishi Mansion will definitely plummet!"

Qiu Shi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, glared at Jing Yan and scolded: "Then you still want to marry the daughter of the Taishi Mansion, you are stupid!"

Jing Yan smiled. "Mother, children are not stupid. Even if the prime minister falls and Li Zheng is removed from his official position, don't forget that there is a queen mother in the palace, and besides, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse!

Think about it, if the fifth prince ascends to the throne, the child will naturally be promoted to the knighthood.

But what if it is the crown prince? The child will be implicated and imprisoned. ”

Qiu: "...... Isn't there still your eldest brother? In case the crown prince ascends the throne, your eldest brother will ......."

"Don't mention Big Brother!" Jing Yan interrupted loudly. "He won't save me, mother, it's time to recognize the true face of the eldest brother!

When the child is in prison, he will only fall into the well, and I hope that he will save me! That's why I want to marry the noble daughter of the Taishifu.

In case the crown prince ascends the throne, the queen mother will be respected as the queen mother!

At that time, even if the child is imprisoned, for the sake of the wife and the queen mother's family, the big thing will be turned into a small thing, and the child will be fine!"

Qiu nodded approvingly. "It's still thoughtful, my mother depends on you, when you say to propose, my mother will send a matchmaker to Taishi's Mansion to propose. ”

"Thank you, mother!" Jing Yan smiled and thanked him, but he was ruthless in his heart, in case the fifth prince ascended the throne, he would let the eldest brother kneel and beg him to save him!

As the night wore on, many people were already asleep.

The gate of Jingfu was suddenly slammed hard.

The little guy guarding the door yawned and reluctantly walked over to open the door, his face full of complaints.

"Open the door!" The slamming of the door was deafening!

Only then did the little guy realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran over to open the door, shouting at the same time: "Coming, coming!"

The door creaked open, and before he could see the person who came, the other party hurriedly roared: "The saint is critically ill, urgently summon all the officials above the third rank to enter the palace, and inform your eldest prince to rush to the prince's mansion immediately!" After speaking, he turned around and ran away.

The little guy looked at the back of the running away in a daze, and a cold wind blew and stirred the spirit, and then he woke up and heard something just now.

The Holy One is critically ill?!

The door was not closed, he turned around and ran into the east courtyard and immediately notified the green housekeeper.

Soon Jingrong left Jingfu and took Qingyi to the prince's mansion in a carriage.

Prime Minister's Office.

Steward Zhou stood in front of the door of the study and looked up at the sky, the stars were dim tonight, and there were shadows everywhere.

A secret guard suddenly appeared and stood in front of Steward Zhou. "The prime minister has ordered someone to falsely spread that the saint is critically ill and urgently summons all the three high-ranking officials to the palace.

There were not enough people in the palace, so the prime minister ordered me to wait for the secret guards to go to support immediately.

Leave some of the guards and all the family members in the palace under your command.

The prime minister ordered you to guard the prime minister's mansion, and never let the eldest lady and the second lady step out of the mansion.

In addition...... "Suddenly approached Steward Zhou and carefully explained the prime minister's secret order."

After speaking, the secret guard left the Prime Minister's Mansion with all his subordinates and went straight to the palace.

Steward Zhou looked up at the night sky, preoccupied.

The prime minister transferred all the secret guards in the mansion, and most of the guards were also transferred.

If the eldest lady breaks out with her maidservant, or General Situ sends troops to pick up the second lady, he will definitely not be able to withstand it by relying on the remaining people in the mansion!

Fortunately, it was night, and the eldest lady should have already gone to bed.

The third aunt of Aoxue Pavilion has not moved at all so far, so it should be fine.

Before, I was worried that the eldest lady would poison the third aunt or something, but now it seems that he is suspicious. Thinking about it, the whole house was alarmed, what was wrong with him being suspicious?

The long night was long, but he didn't dare to sleep, and if the prime minister succeeded, he would be the first to come up and stammer.

In case of failure...... He fled with his sweetheart by himself! He didn't care if the third aunt lived or died! That's right, in the end, before leaving, the secret guard told him the prime minister's order: In case of rebellion failure, let him immediately take all the family members and guards to escort the third aunt out of the city!

The night was cold in autumn, and Steward Zhou stood in the courtyard blowing the cold wind, even if he had a little martial arts, he still felt a little cold, so as not to turn around and enter the study with typhoid fever.

But as soon as I stepped into the threshold, I suddenly heard a scream behind me!

...... this voice seems to be grandma Sun?!

Steward Zhou suddenly turned around and stared in the direction of the Aoxue Pavilion in the West Courtyard.

Could it be that something happened to the third aunt?!not good!

Hurry down the stairs and hurry to the Aoxue Pavilion!

When Steward Zhou arrived in the courtyard of the third aunt, he saw Grandma Sun kneeling on the ground crying.

The subordinates with lanterns in their hands were surrounding Grandma Sun to ask her what had happened, and when they saw Steward Zhou bringing people over, they quickly scattered and retreated to the corner to stand.

Steward Zhou quickly stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

Mama Sun hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "The third aunt is gone!" Looking at Steward Zhou as if she had seen a savior, her eyes were full of hope. "I had been staying on the couch outside and didn't dare to rest, when I suddenly heard movement from the inside, and quickly got up and broke in.

But I saw a dark shadow suddenly jump out of the window and escape.

The third aunt who should have slept on the bed is gone!

Steward Zhou's eyes sank, and he hurriedly turned around and pointed at the guards he brought and ordered: "You few immediately search the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and be sure to find the whereabouts of the third aunt!

"No!" the guards departed in unison.
