Chapter 71: Gathering
After returning to Caiwei Hall, Lin Qing saw Lu Chengxuan standing quietly in front of his house from a long distance.
"See the prince." Lin Qing bent down and saluted.
"Look at you, why did you forget it, you don't have to be polite in front of me." Lu Chengxuan smiled lightly and supported Lin Qing's body, his star-like eyes shining with a heart-warming brilliance.
"I'm ......" Lin Qing didn't know what to say for a while, looking at Lu Chengxuan in front of him trying to find a topic.
As everyone knows, Lu Chengxuan was actually waiting in front of Lin Qing's house with a purpose.
"Ah Zhang, do you remember that you also have a brother-in-law named Zhao Mingsong?"
"Zhao Mingsong?" Lin Qing is no stranger to this name, she and Zhao Mingsong even once lived under the same roof. At that time, Zhao Mingsong almost thought that she was Zhao Muxi, and took great care of her.
Lin Qing didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to Zhao Mingsong when he left Muhe Town, so he didn't know what his current situation was. Lin Qing clearly remembered that before she was kidnapped by Jiang Shangui and went to Fengcheng, Zhao Mingsong was busy investigating the cases of Xu Huan, the prefect of Taizhou, the death of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family's displacement, and I don't know if he has solved these cases now.
"I almost forgot, you don't remember the past anymore, and it's normal not to remember him. But after all, he is also your father's righteous son, your righteous brother, I heard that he will come to the capital tomorrow, how about we go to see him tomorrow? ”
This is something that Lin Qing couldn't ask for, she originally hoped to recover her memories earlier, and now she can contact Zhao Muxi's former acquaintance Zhao Mingsong, which may be more helpful for her memory recovery. As soon as he thought of this, Lin Qing couldn't say anything to refuse.
"Okay, I'm willing to go with the prince to meet Zhao Mingsong."
Lu Chengxuan nodded and said softly: "Call me Chengxuan, I will meet Zhao Mingsong later, remember to call him brother." ”
Lin Qing only then thought that he didn't have a headache when he met Zhao Mingsong in Muhe Town, and maybe it wouldn't be useful if he met him tomorrow. But since it was Lu Chengxuan who opened her mouth personally, it is understandable that she agreed to this matter.
The next day, Lin Qing got up early to decoct the medicine, and it was not until he drank all the decoction that he had drunk according to the painkiller prescription prescribed by the doctor, and then he cleaned up and followed Lu Chengxuan out of the Three Princes' Mansion.
The carriage of the Three Kings stopped in front of a restaurant.
"There are many people who track down Zhao Mingsong, so as soon as he entered Beijing, he lived in this restaurant in disguise." Lu Chengxuan lowered his head and whispered in Lin Qing's ear.
"Track him down? Why ......" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, when he was in Muhe Town, Zhao Mingsong was the respected and feared chief catcher, why did he become the target of investigation as soon as he arrived in the capital?
Holding Lin Qing's hand and sitting down at a square table, Lu Chengxuan explained frankly: "Because he is very likely to hold the edict of the first emperor in his hand." ”
Lin Qing's face turned pale in shock, and after many days, she heard this familiar word again. At the beginning, Engong ordered her to go to Muhe Town, and she checked for half a year to know that the emperor's edict was in the hands of Zhao Mingsong, but after she successfully infiltrated the Zhao Mansion, she was very unfortunate to be kidnapped by Jiang Shangui, and now Lu Chengxuan told her that Zhao Mingsong held the edict in his hand, so that Lin Qing ignited the hope of stealing the edict again.
The second prince challenged Engong because she didn't get the edict, and asked Engong to lurk around Lu Chengxuan, if she got the edict, would she no longer have to bother Lu Chengxuan to find out the news? Lin Qing thought like this in his heart, and the idea of seeing Zhao Mingsong became stronger and stronger.
Lu Chengxuan and Lin Qing waited in the restaurant for a long time, but they didn't see Zhao Mingsong appear, which made Lin Qing feel a little flustered.
"Why didn't he show up, maybe he wasn't in this restaurant?"
Compared with Lin Qing's panic, Lu Chengxuan's attitude was very indifferent, he raised his eyes and glanced at all kinds of people in the restaurant, and said in a low voice: "Wait a little longer." ”
In addition to continuing to wait, Lin Qing couldn't think of any good way, she didn't know Zhao Mingsong, so she couldn't figure out his style and habits.
After waiting for a while, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in Lin Qing's sight.
The man's figure had not changed much from before, except that his originally smooth face had an extra beard, and his complexion was darker than before.
Lin Qing recognized this person at a glance as Zhao Mingsong after dressing up.
Zhao Mingsong walked down slowly from the second floor of the restaurant, and his eyes did not fall in the direction where Lin Qing and Lu Chengxuan were. Lin Qing wanted to speak out to attract her attention, but Lu Chengxuan shook his head and vetoed this move.
"Don't be in a hurry, if he sees us, he will come and meet us." Lu Chengxuan said confidently.
Lin Qing nodded suspiciously, his eyes fixed on Zhao Mingsong's every move.
"Ah, listen to me, let's pretend that we just happened to pass by here for a light meal, and we don't need to care about the others." Lu Chengxuan said, picked up the wine glass on the table, brought it to his lips, and drank it.
Lin Qing also learned Lu Chengxuan's movements and drank a cup, but after this cup, she blushed. She almost forgot that she was too strong to drink, and she drank this cup in a hurry, which made her drunk in an instant.
Since Lu Chengxuan wants to wait for the rabbit, then she can cooperate with peace of mind. Thinking like this in his heart, Lin Qing poured himself a glass of wine again.
Raise your arm to raise your glass and send the wine into your throat, but the very simple process was suddenly interrupted. Looking at the wrist that was being held hard in front of him, Lin Qing suddenly felt that his brain was blank.
"Sister!" Before Lin Qing could react, her body was hugged hard, and this person hugged her very tightly, as if she was afraid that she would disappear in the next moment.
Lin Qingqiang endured the pain without struggling, and the thoughts in his head turned a thousand times, and finally only turned into one sentence: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Mingsong let go of the hand that was holding Lin Qing tightly, and there was an undisguised look of ecstasy on his face, "Zhang'er, is it you?" Is it really you? ”
Lin Qing had never seen Zhao Mingsong show such a crazy expression, it was an expression that only came when he saw that the cherished things were lost and regained. At this moment, her heart seemed to sense the love in Zhao Mingsong's heart, and she was a little overwhelmed with excitement.
The reason why she responded to Zhao Mingsong's 'sister' was not only because she wanted to use Zhao Muxi's identity to steal the emperor's edict, but also because she had already regarded Zhao Mingsong as her eldest brother in her heart. Maybe it was because she longed too much for the warmth that belonged to her relatives, and after Zhao Mingsong took care of her as an elder brother, she couldn't help but restrain herself from drowning in it.
"It's me, I'm Qiao'er." Lin Qing raised the corners of his mouth and said with a light smile.
seemed to be very satisfied with Lin Qing's appearance, and Lu Chengxuan also showed his usual moist smile on his face.
