Chapter 272: Entering the Cell and Meeting People
After learning about this, Zhao Qingzao couldn't help frowning, she had just come back from the palace, and she had also seen the Seventh Prince, knowing that the Seventh Prince was in the mansion, and she had no chance to see Chi Fenglai, so who did Chi Fenglai go to see when she left the mansion?
"Don't you really know what Madame is doing when she leaves the house?" Zhao Qingzao asked again.
"Young lady, the slave and maid really don't know, the slave and maid are just a little maid, and the lady will not take the slave and maid anywhere, so the slave and maid are telling the truth. The maid had a bitter face and hurriedly explained that she really didn't know what Chi Feng was going to do when she came out of the house.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao believed that the maid in front of her really didn't know anything, Chi Fenglai was still very careful in doing things, if it wasn't for her cronies, she would definitely not take her out of the house together, so it was impossible for Zhao Qingzao to inquire about Chi Fenglai's news from this maid's mouth.
"I'm just worried about what will happen to my aunt when she leaves the house, and since you don't know, then I won't blame you. Zhao Qingzao sighed and then said.
Hearing this, the maid breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that Zhao Qingzao would reprimand her, but fortunately, Zhao Qingzao was much more reasonable than Chi Fenglai, and she didn't hold on to her.
Since Chi Fenglai was not there, Zhao Qingzao went back to the house directly, but Zhao Qingzao couldn't calm down, but walked back and forth in the house several times, thinking about what Chi Fenglai was going to do when he left the house and who he was going to meet.
"Qingzao, what are you doing all the time going around? If I wasn't reading, I'm afraid I would have been dizzy by you. Shen Changting put down the book in his hand and asked with a helpless smile.
"Changting, Chi Fenglai secretly left the mansion, where do you say she can go? Could it be that besides the Seventh Prince, she also knows other people?" Zhao Qingzao turned his head to look at Shen Changting, and then asked.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao ask this, Shen Changting smiled even more helplessly, and said: "Qingzao, you already have a chance to win, why do you care about what Chi Feng is doing when he comes out of the house? The more you care about her, the more likely it is that something will go wrong." ”
"Chi Fenglai is very scheming, what if she has already noticed it? Be careful to be sure that you can be completely sure, Changting, as a man, why don't you even understand this truth?" Zhao Qingzao looked at Shen Changting speechlessly, and couldn't help but complain, thinking that it was fortunate that Shen Changting did not enter the court as an official, otherwise with his temperament, he would have been killed by traitors a long time ago.
Shen Changting was speechless for a while, and he didn't even know what to say, so he could only smile and shake his head again and again, and then stopped talking.
Zhao Qingzao walked around the house a few more times, and finally gritted his teeth, planning to go to the General's Mansion to find Chu Xingshan for help, and after finding out that Zhao Qingzao was going out, Shen Changting also took a cloak and let Zhao Qingzao wear it on his body, don't catch a cold.
Zhao Qingzao just wanted to go to the General's Mansion to find Chu Xingshan quickly, where could he manage so much, after saying that he was not cold at all, Zhao Qingzao left the mansion in a hurry, leaving Shen Changting standing alone in place, with a helpless and gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
rushed all the way to the general's mansion, Zhao Qingzao dared to walk into the general's mansion, and immediately asked the housekeeper, "Is the general in the mansion?"
"Miss Qingzao, the general just sent the old slave to pass a message to you, Chi Feng came to see Master Chi in the cell, and said that it was the emperor's will, although the general was angry, but he couldn't stop her, so he could only let her go to see Master Chi. The butler said hurriedly.
Did Chi Fenglai actually go to see Master Chi? And it was the emperor's will? Zhao Qingzao didn't think that the emperor would take care of Chi Fenglai, eighty percent of it was the will of the seventh prince to help her, this is the case, why did Chi Fenglai have to go to see Master Chi? The more Zhao Qingzao thought about it, the more strange he felt, so he turned around and left the general's mansion and went to the cell where Master Chi was locked up in a carriage.
Fortunately, the cell was not very far, just south of the city, Zhao Qingzao quickly rushed to the cell, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the door, and Zhao Qingzao was not allowed to enter.
"I'm the eldest young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why don't you let me in?" Zhao Qingzao was very puzzled, so he hurriedly asked.
"What's wrong with the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion? This is a cell for prisoners, not a place where you can come and go at will. The soldier had a cold face and looked ahead expressionlessly, and then said to Zhao Qingzao.
Since Chu Xingshan asked the housekeeper to pass a message to him, he should know that he would come over? Why didn't he say a word to the soldiers guarding the door and let him in? Zhao Qingzao thought for a while, and then continued: "I am General Chu's sister-in-law, if you don't believe it, you can let someone send a message to General Chu to see if what I said is true or false." ”
I thought that if Chu Xingshan was moved out, these soldiers would let themselves in, but the soldiers still had a cold face and said: "Even if it is General Chu's order, it can't be done, because the prime minister's wife has the emperor's will, she just ordered us, and no one can go in." ”
"What? What about General Chu? Where is he?" Zhao Qingzao chuckled in her heart, thinking that Chi Fenglai was so cautious, and Bacheng was thinking about some bad idea again, but she was stopped by the soldiers, and she couldn't go in to find out, so she could only inquire about Chu Xingshan's whereabouts first, and then talk about it when she saw Chu Xingshan.
Hearing this, the soldier shook his head, and then didn't say a word, no matter what Zhao Qingzao said, the soldiers guarding the door didn't pay attention to her anymore, the soldier was obviously pretending to be stupid, Zhao Qingzao was standing in front of him, and he was talking so loudly, how could they not hear it?
"Qingzao, are you here so soon?" At this moment, Chu Xingshan suddenly appeared, but he did not come out of the cell, but suddenly came out from behind Zhao Qingzao, which made Zhao Qingzao tremble for a moment, and after turning around and seeing Chu Xingshan, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hiking, so you're here, let's go over there and talk. In front of the soldiers, Zhao Qingzao definitely couldn't talk to Chu Xingshan about things, so Zhao Qingzao pointed to the corner not far away and said to Chu Xingshan.
Chu Xingshan also happened to have something to say to Zhao Qingzao, so after nodding, he followed Zhao Qingzao to a corner not far away.
"Qingzao, you should all know, Chi Fenglai didn't let anyone into the cell, even I was blocked out, and I didn't know what she wanted to do. Chu Xingshan said directly to Zhao Qingzao.
"What else can I do? It's so unsightly, Bacheng is discussing some bad ideas, Chi Fenglai is relying on the emperor's will, so he can be so arrogant, but unfortunately it's not the time yet, otherwise where would Chi Fenglai come to the prison cell to make trouble?" Zhao Qingzao smiled coldly, and then said to Chu Xingshan.
Listening to what Zhao Qingzao said, Chu Xingshan became more and more anxious, but he couldn't break into the cell and drive Chi Fenglai away, so he could only turn around in a hurry, but there was no way at all.
"Qing Zao, what do you say Chi Fenglai and Master Chi are talking about?In case they are going to do something bad again, how can we prevent it?" Chu Xingshan scratched his head and asked.
Although Zhao Qingzao knows Chi Fenglai very well, she is not an immortal, so what Chi Fenglai and Master Chi are talking about, Zhao Qingzao does not know, after a while, Zhao Qingzao sighed and said: "Forget it, anyway, Chi Fenglai's good days are coming to an end, even if she and Master Chi are discussing something bad, it is estimated that there is no chance to do it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Chu Xingshan was about to ask what Zhao Qingzao meant by what he said, but at this moment, Chi Fenglai suddenly came out of the cell, Zhao Qingzao's eyes were sharp, and after seeing Chi Fenglai, he hurriedly pulled Chu Xingshan to hide, but fortunately, Chi Fenglai did not see them, but left directly in the carriage.
Chi Fenglai was wearing a black cloak, and after coming out of the cell, he looked sneaky, Zhao Qingzao gritted his teeth and said, "Follow Chi Fenglai." ”
"What?Qingzao, why are we coming with Chi Feng?" Chu Xingshan didn't react to what was going on, and after listening to what Zhao Qingzao said, he was even more puzzled, but before he finished speaking, Zhao Qingzao sat directly in the carriage, and seeing this, Chu Xingshan also hurriedly got into the carriage.
I thought that after Chi Fenglai came out of the cell, he would take a carriage and rush back to the Prime Minister's Mansion directly, but I didn't expect Chi Fenglai's carriage to go directly to the west of the city, and he had no intention of returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion at all.
"Strange, what is Chi Feng doing in the west of the city?" Chu Xingshan muttered with a puzzled expression.
Zhao Qingzao was also very curious about why Chi Fenglai wanted to go to the west of the city, so he could only let the coachman follow Chi Fenglai's carriage closely, but he couldn't follow too closely, so as not to be discovered by Chi Fenglai.
After arriving in the west of the city, Chi Fenglai's carriage suddenly stopped near a big tree, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao also hurriedly asked the coachman to park the carriage in the corner, and then hid in the grass with Chu Xingshan, wanting to see what Chi Fenglai was doing.
Chi Fenglai walked to the edge of the big tree, bent down and didn't know what he was looking for, then walked around the tree again, and finally got into the carriage and left.
Zhao Qingzao and Chu Xingshan were both confused, and they didn't understand what the purpose of Zhao Qingzao's trip was, but Zhao Qingzao felt that there was definitely something wrong with the big tree, otherwise Chi Fenglai wouldn't have stayed there for so long, and he looked sneaky.
"Xingshan, can you send a few of your subordinates over?" Zhao Qingzao said suddenly.
Hearing this, Chu Xingshan was stunned, although he wanted to ask Zhao Qingzao what he wanted to do next, but Chu Xingshan knew that Zhao Qingzao must have done this for a reason, so without saying a word, he sent a signal to let his subordinates rush over.
Taking advantage of Chu Xingshan's signal, Zhao Qingzao walked to the vicinity of the big tree, and also learned from Chi Fenglai to bend down and look at the land overgrown with weeds.
After a while, Zhao Qingzao walked around the big tree again, and suddenly understood what was going on, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Qing Zao, did you find anything?" Chu Xingshan hurriedly asked.
"There's something good hidden down here, no wonder Chi Fenglai went to the cell to see Master Chi, and he rushed here immediately after he came out. Zhao Qingzao said with a smile.
A person like Master Chi who does a lot of bad things will definitely hide a treasure or silver tael outside, he is now locked in a cell and can't get out, and only Chi Feng is here who thinks about these treasures and silver taels, so Chi Feng will come into the cell to see Mr. Chi, probably just to know where the treasure is hidden.
Chu Xingshan didn't know these things, and he could only wait for his subordinates to come over before he could know what Zhao Qingzao meant.
