Chapter 268: Knowing the Secret
After returning to the house, Zhao Qingzao had just accompanied Xiaocao to read the book for a while, but Shen Changting came back, and Zhao Qingzao was also very curious about what Shen Kaiyuan said to Shen Changting, so after finding that Shen Changting returned to the house, Zhao Qingzao pulled Shen Changting into the inner room, and then said: "Changting, what did Dad tell you? It won't be for you to find a way to save Master Chi, right?"
Although Shen Kaiyuan said that he would no longer care about the affairs of Chi Fu, let alone care about the life and death of Master Chi, Zhao Qingzao was inevitably a little worried, after all, for the sake of his own face, Shen Kaiyuan could not let Master Chi end up too miserably.
Although Shen Changting does not have any official title, he teaches in the Confucian Academy, and he is a famous little painting saint in Biancheng, so he also has a relationship with many characters with good status, if Shen Kaiyuan asks him to find someone to help, it is not impossible, Zhao Qingzao only hopes that Shen Kaiyuan did not do this, even if Shen Kaiyuan does this, Shen Changting should not be stupid to agree to Shen Kaiyuan, otherwise it will not only add a lot of trouble at that time, but Zhao Qingzao's plan will also be abandoned.
"Qingzao, you think too much, my father just asked me to teach Xiaocao well, and I must not let him become the second Changque. Listening to what Zhao Qingzao said, Shen Changting smiled helplessly and shook his head, and then said to Zhao Qingzao.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but be stunned, it seemed that she was thinking too much, Shen Kaiyuan didn't plan to help Master Chi intercede at all, let alone let Shen Changting find someone to help, it is estimated that it is because Shen Changque is not angry, so Shen Kaiyuan will be afraid that Xiaocao will also become the second Shen Changque, and when the time comes, the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be able to raise his head.
"So that's what happened, I thought my father asked you to find someone to help. Zhao Qingzao breathed a sigh of relief and then said.
Seeing this, Shen Changting smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to comb the hair on Zhao Qingzao's sideburns, and then said: "Qingzao, don't worry, I will definitely not be rash, the closure of Chi Mansion is a foregone conclusion, and Master Chi will definitely not have a good end, why should I bother to bother for irreparable things? Although I have a cold temperament, I am not a fool, don't worry." ”
Shen Changting rarely said these jokes, but Zhao Qingzao knew that Shen Changting's joke was to reassure her, so he said this, Shen Changting has changed a lot, Zhao Qingzao can feel it, she only hopes that she and Shen Changting can be safe and sound, and have been growing up with Xiaocao, so that they can see Xiaocao marry a wife and have children, and start a family.
Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting looked at each other affectionately, and the two were about to warm up for a while, but they didn't expect that at this moment, there was an abrupt bird call from the window, Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting were startled, and they reacted after a while.
"This bird has a strange call. Shen Changting couldn't help frowning and said to Zhao Qingzao.
Shen Changting didn't know what was going on with this bird call, but Zhao Qingzao knew, it turned out that this was Chu Xingshan's subordinate who sent her a secret signal outside the window, it seemed that Chi Fenglai really couldn't hold it back, and was going to find the Seventh Prince for help, Zhao Qingzao waited for so long, and finally waited for this moment, of course she didn't want to miss this great opportunity, so after reacting, Zhao Qingzao immediately pushed Shen Changting to the inside and outside, and said vaguely: " I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while, you go and read with Xiaocao first, he has a lot of questions for you. ”
Shen Changting was about to stay with Zhao Qingzao for a while, but was suddenly interrupted by a strange bird call, and was suddenly pushed by Zhao Qingzao to the inside and outside, which made Shen Changting very speechless, and after standing in place and shaking his head repeatedly, he went to accompany Xiaocao to read.
After Shen Changting walked away, Zhao Qingzao hurriedly opened the window, and sure enough, when he turned his head, he saw Chu Xingshan's men waiting outside the window.
"Young Lady Shen, Chi Fenglai has already asked people to secretly prepare the carriage, and it is estimated that he will go to see the Seventh Prince in a while. After Chu Xingshan's subordinates saw Zhao Qingzao, they hurriedly lowered their voices and whispered.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao nodded, because Shen Changting was reading with Xiaocao outside, so she couldn't leave the house openly in front of Shen Changting, lest Shen Changting ask endless questions at that time, hindering her from following Chi Fenglai, it would be a big deal.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to climb out. Zhao Qingzao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said to Chu Xingshan's subordinates.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Chu Xingshan's subordinates were stunned, and after a while they came back to their senses, and hurriedly walked to the side to stand, and Zhao Qingzao also climbed directly outside the window, and after letting Chu Xingshan's subordinates wait for him outside, Zhao Qingzao sneaked outside from the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qingzao just slipped outside, and happened to see Chi Fenglai wearing a cloak sneakily sitting in the carriage, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao couldn't care so much, and hurriedly chased after the carriage, fortunately, the carriage was not very fast, so Zhao Qingzao could follow closely at a trot all the way, and did not lose Chi Fenglai's carriage.
"Where is Chi Fenglai going?Will the Seventh Prince come out to meet her in broad daylight?" Zhao Qingzao said suspiciously as he cautiously followed behind the carriage.
I don't know how long I followed, the carriage finally stopped, Zhao Qingzao was tired enough, after seeing Chi Fenglai get off the carriage, he walked into a tea shop, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao also hurriedly walked into the tea shop, and found that Chi Feng came to the wing room on the second floor, Zhao Qingzao asked the shopkeeper to prepare the next wing room for himself, so that he could not only eavesdrop on what Chi Fenglai was saying, but also rest for a while.
After entering the wing, Zhao Qingzao let the shopkeeper go out, and after taking a sip of tea, there was a sound of talking next door, hearing this, Zhao Qingzao chuckled in his heart, hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, and then listened to the sound of talking from the next wing room with bated breath.
"What are you doing in such a hurry to find me? In broad daylight, you are not afraid of being discovered by others. ”
"If it weren't for the urgency, do you think I'd let you come out in broad daylight?"
There was a man and a woman talking next door, the woman was obviously Chi Fenglai, and the man was really the Seventh Prince, although Zhao Qingzao and the Seventh Prince were not very familiar, but his voice, Zhao Qingzao still recognized it, and Zhao Qingzao had already prepared, so after knowing that the Seventh Prince and Chi Fenglai were staying in the next room, Zhao Qingzao was not surprised at all, but felt very happy.
"What's going on? It can't be that something happened to Changque, right?" Seeing Chi Fenglai's worried look, the Seventh Prince hurriedly asked.
"Changque did have an accident, but he was just locked up in the ancestral hall, and it's not a big deal, you better save my brother first, I heard that the emperor is going to cut off his head, before the emperor has made an order, you persuade the emperor first, let him dispel this idea." Chi Fenglai said to the Seventh Prince in a soft voice.
To be honest, it was the first time that Zhao Qingzao had heard Chi Fenglai talk to others in such a gentle voice, even in the face of Shen Kaiyuan, Chi Fenglai had never been so gentle, so Chi Fenglai was so abnormal, and he met with the Seventh Prince alone, saying that the two of them were not getting along, Zhao Qingzao must not believe it.
Moreover, the Seventh Prince was particularly concerned about Shen Changque, just before Chi Feng said that there was an urgent matter, the Seventh Prince's first reaction was to worry about Shen Changque's safety, could it be that Zhao Qingzao guessed correctly, Shen Changque was really the son of the Seventh Prince? If this was the case, was Shen Changque kept it in the dark? Or did he already know about it?
"The emperor wants to cut off your brother's head? Where did you hear the news? The emperor and your brother have no grudges, so there is no need for him to do this. The Seventh Lord continued.
As soon as the words fell, Chi Fenglai told the Seventh Lord all the news she heard, and now the Lord Chi is still in prison, so she still has a chance to save the head of the Lord Chi, if she continues to delay, I am afraid that even the Seventh Prince will not be able to save the Lord Chi, no matter what Chi Fenglai does today, he will definitely make the Seventh Lord agree to save the life of the Lord Chi.
After listening to Chifeng's words, the Seventh Prince seemed to believe that the emperor was really going to cut off Master Chi's head, although he was a noble Seventh Prince, but the emperor was angry, and he was going to cut off Master Chi's head to make an example of the monkey, he went to help Master Chi intercede at this moment, didn't he make the emperor angry?
"After the emperor is angry, he will definitely not cut off your brother's head, don't scare yourself. The Seventh Prince paused, and then said to Chi Feng.
"I'm scaring myself, if you don't want to help, just say it, anyway, you have your own princess and your own son, you don't care about the life or death of me and Changque, the days of our two mothers and sons in the Prime Minister's Mansion are not as good as day by day, forget it before, now there is one more Zhao Qingzao, every day you think about how to do it with me, one day Changque and I are killed by Zhao Qingzao, you will be happy!" Chi Fenglai was forced to be anxious, and immediately cried and said to the Seventh Prince, and did not forget to mention Zhao Qingzao, in front of the Seventh Prince, Zhao Qingzao was said to be a heinous bad person, the Seventh Princes always listened to Chi Feng's words, where would he have any good impression of Zhao Qingzao? Seeing her is a good thing not to roll her eyes.
"Don't cry, how can I not care about you and Changque? The two of you stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I miss you every day, if it weren't for the tigress in the mansion being too ferocious, I would have taken you into the palace a long time ago, where is there any need to worry about your mother and son every day?" The Seventh Prince saw Chi Feng crying and crying, and hurriedly said.
Zhao Qingzao listened to what Chi Fenglai and the Seventh Prince said in the next room, and she was so angry that she didn't know what to say, these two shameless people still had the face to say these words, if she was the Seventh Princess, she would definitely not let these two people go, and if they didn't suffer a little, how could they eliminate the hatred in their hearts?
The seventh prince talked to Chi Feng for a while, and finally agreed to help Chi Feng intercede, and after Chi Feng got his wish, he left the tea shop with the seventh prince satisfied.
After the two of them left, Zhao Qingzao walked out of the wing, although he didn't eat anything, but Zhao Qingzao, who was in a good mood, still gave the shopkeeper two or five taels of silver, and then returned to the prime minister's mansion.
I didn't expect to have such a big harvest on this trip, first I knew that Chi Fenglai was the best friend of the Seventh Prince, and then I learned that Shen Changque was the son of the Seventh Prince, Zhao Qingzao had mastered so many secrets of Chi Fenglai, how could he not be happy?
