Chapter 424: The Frightened Bird
The thoughtful expression on the queen's face made Mrs. Zhao's heart crumple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as the chamberlain retreated, Mrs. Zhao couldn't wait to speak: "Niangniang, is there any news from Chengyan?"
The queen's brows tightened, when will the Zhao family be able to calm down.
My brother has been training outside for so long, and the official has done a lot of work, so why is he at a loss when he encounters such a thing. Not only can he not share her worries, but he will add more troubles to her.
The queen said lightly: "There is a result on the side of the Imperial City Division, it is Du Qizhong of the Guards Division and his lieutenant generals who colluded with Tang Bin to be greedy for ink. ”
Mrs. Zhao opened her mouth in surprise, and her face could not hide her joy: "Since we have checked clearly, there is no matter of our Zhao family, and Chengyan will not be charged much, and the Imperial City Division should be able to release people soon, right?"
The queen snorted coldly in her heart, if only everything was as simple as Mrs. Zhao thought.
Du Qizhong's matter was by no means sudden, since the Imperial City Division already had a goal, why didn't they refuse to accommodate the Zhao family to go to see Zhao Chengyan in prison.
Sometimes it seems to be a small thing, but it can be seen from it.
The Imperial City Division must have had another purpose in holding on to the Zhao family like this.
The queen's heart sank, and she instructed Mrs. Zhao: "You go back first and wait for the news, don't be in a hurry, especially don't act rashly, tell my brother, I will find a way." ”
The queen's eyebrows and eyes were a little deep, and after hearing the news from the inner servant, she did not relax.
Mrs. Zhao turned everything in her heart, and the joy of Fang Cai disappeared without a trace.
The queen didn't say what was in her heart, and there must have been something to hide from them.
Mrs. Zhao wanted to open her mouth again, but the queen had already stood up: "Stand down, this palace is lacking." ”
Mrs. Zhao didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to stand up and follow the chamberlain out of the hall.
The palace people outside the main hall led Mrs. Zhao to continue walking, Mrs. Zhao thought all the way, and was about to ask the palace people for some news, but turned her head and found that the palace people were gone.
Mrs. Zhao was stunned.
In the past, when she entered the palace, the palace people would respectfully send her to the palace gate and serve her in a soft sedan chair before leaving, but this time, the palace people left like this.
"What about people?" asked Mrs. Zhao to the housekeeper's mother.
The housekeeper's mother was also surprised: "But when you turn a corner, the person will be gone, which is too unusual, when we are ordinary relatives, we are so neglectful." ”
"We are the queen's mother's family, and we are serious relatives of the emperor, so they are not afraid of the lady suing in front of the queen. ”
Maybe they're just not afraid.
Mrs. Zhao squeezed her veil tightly.
The atmosphere in the palace was as if the queen would immediately lose power.
What if that's the case?
Mrs. Zhao felt that this matter was not trivial.
The two of them walked to the gate of the palace, and the housekeeper's mother exclaimed: "Why hasn't our family's soft sedan chair come yet?" ”
When Mrs. Zhao came out of Kunning Palace, someone should have gone to the palace gate to report the news, and the Zhao family's palanquin would come over early in the morning to wait, but now the palace gate is empty, and there is nothing.
Something really happened.
Mrs. Zhao was alarmed in her heart, the queen mother had an accident, the Zhao family had an accident, she had to tell the master immediately when she went home, the queen mother may have been a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect herself, and she will not take care of Chengyan in the prison, they have to think of their own ideas.
……
Pei Qitang stood in the corner, and the guards came over to say: "It's useless for us to do it, the palace people who sent Mrs. Zhao out of the palace disappeared halfway, the inner servants in Kunning Palace deserted, and it was too late to enter the sedan chair at the palace gate, and the Zhao family was hung at the palace gate for half an hour, did anyone hear anything, so they neglected it from the bottom of their hearts." ”
No.
Although the palace is well-informed, it has not yet reached this point.
After all, the queen is still in that position, someone must have thought of a place with him, deliberately wanting to make the Zhao family a frightened bird, so that the Zhao family can find ways to listen to all kinds of news and use means to save Zhao Er.
If the Zhao family has no action, this scene will not be fun.
Maybe Langhua really got into it, and secretly there is another person who wants to manipulate the overall situation.
Pei Qitang's eyes lit up, and he instructed the guards: "It's okay like this, it's exempt from our efforts." ”
It's getting more and more fun, no matter who is behind the scenes, as long as he can't bear to do it, he will catch that person sooner or later.
……
When Mrs. Zhao returned home, her face was as pale as a ghost, which startled Master Zhao.
"Master," Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything, tears flowed down her cheeks first, "Something is wrong, our family Chengyan this time...... I don't know if I'll ever make it home alive. ”
"What nonsense," Master Zhao's eyes widened, "What mistake did Cheng Yan make? If the Imperial City Division refuses to release people, I will send it directly to the Qinzheng Palace." ”
Mrs. Zhao's lips were buzzing, and she was about to speak, but Master Zhao looked dissatisfied: "The queen is too, why can't she say a word for Chengyan?" She is also too cautious, she has been the queen for so many years, she didn't ask for some benefits for her mother's family, and let us act carefully, my uncle is not as comfortable as those nobles." ”
Mrs. Zhao also felt aggrieved, the Zhao family paid a lot for that posterior, but in the end they didn't get much benefit, Chengyan will go to prison, not because of the queen mother, the queen mother is now unwilling to tell them the truth.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao cried even more sadly: "When the concubine came out of the palace, she was neglected by the chamberlain and the palace people, and the queen mother heard that Tang Bin's case had been decided, and she was not happy, but warned us not to act rashly," she raised her face, "Master, you said, is there anything else, should we ask the relationship to inquire again." ”
After they entered Beijing, they have been listening to the queen's arrangement, but now the queen may not be reliable, they can't just wait here.
"Is there such a thing?" Lord Zhao's gaze sharpened.
Mrs. Zhao told everything that happened in the palace as it was, and Master Zhao's face became more and more ugly: "I can't wait any longer, I'll let someone inquire about the news." In this world, there is no impregnable yamen, and there is no news that money cannot buy. ”
Mrs. Zhao bit her lip and said after a while: "Master, could it be that Chengyan said something inside, the incident back then...... Won't anyone know?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhao shivered.
Master Zhao frowned: "Cheng Yan won't say it, he has seen so many interrogations, he won't be asked anything by the Imperial City Division, and the Imperial City Division is not so bold to extort a confession by words and deeds." ”
Mrs. Zhao stroked her chest, hoping so, hoping that she was just overly worried, maybe Chengyan would be released from prison tomorrow.
The Zhao family went to inquire about the news, and Mrs. Zhao sat on the chair in fear.
An hour passed, and the room was as silent as death.
Finally, the steward of the Zhao family entered the door to report.
"Master, my wife is not good," the steward looked panicked, "The second master has been severely punished, I heard that ...... It's not the same anymore, I'm afraid even if it comes out, it will be ...... will also fall into the ...... of disability"
Mrs. Zhao's eyes suddenly darkened, and she almost fainted.

It's late again today.
But there will be another chapter.
