But somehow, after the crown prince ascended the throne, the queen's father resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown in Jiangnan with his wife and children who were less than three years old at the time.

Hearing this, Chu Yueqing had a vague feeling that what happened later might not be good, her eyes tightened slightly, and said, "Could it be because Dong Jiashu is a big move?" ”

She said vaguely, but Steward Zhang was a person like a human spirit, and of course he understood the meaning of her words, so he shook his head: "Definitely." ”

No?

Isn't it that Emperor Mo coveted the Dong family's entrenched and scattered forces, but wanted to eradicate them?

But after a moment's thought, she understood. In this matter, it is estimated that it has little to do with Emperor Mo. Otherwise, the queen mother estimated that she would not be able to respect Emperor Mo like a guest, and it would be impossible to give birth to only one Princess Changning without any movement, and she also endured letting so many concubines also give birth to children.

This move really can't be said to be insignificant.

The small study was quiet for a while, Chu Yueqing knocked on the edge of the table again and again, and after a while, it was changed to rubbing, and then she said, "Go on." ”

Steward Zhang should be, so he told her everything he knew in his stomach.

After the queen's father led his wife and children to Jiangnan, in less than a month, the old lady in the Dong family's room contracted a serious disease, lingered for only two days, and then went.

Dong Guogong was sad, wrote a letter to his second brother who had not long set off, and ordered the Jingwei at home to send it out that night. But he never thought that before the letter was sent, the Dong family suddenly suffered a fire.

There were seventeen masters of the Dong family, and fourteen of them died in the fire. Only the eldest lady of the Changfang, the second lady, and the queen mother who went to her hometown in Jiangnan were fortunate to save their lives.

In addition to the grief of the queen mother, there is also a trace of happiness. So he ordered the people around him to send a letter to his parents in his hometown in Jiangnan, hoping that they would return to Beijing as soon as possible.

However, there is a saying that is very apt, people are unlucky, and they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water.

I don't know if someone deliberately targeted the Dong family, or if they should be unlucky.

When the queen's parents returned to Beijing for the first time, they encountered bandits on a small road. Mrs. Dong and his wife died, and the three-year-old brother of the queen mother was missing.

Just a few "∵ dǐng", "∵ diǎn", "∵ small", "∵ said,.. o¤s_(); month, the Dong family almost collapsed.

But this thing is very strange, and it doesn't go into it at all.

Who set the fire?

Why are there bandits on a good road, since they are bandits, they are nothing more than asking for money, how can they ask for people's lives?

This piece of the village, a village, it was impossible for the queen not to notice it at that time.

“… Naturally, I checked it. Steward Zhang sighed and said: "But this case has been investigated for several years, but I haven't found the slightest clue, the fire in the Dong family's house, and the mourning hall of the old lady in the fire source." The fire burned, and with the help of the wind, the flames swept through the Dong family's house in an instant, and the Dong family's servants and servants also died inside, and there was no one left. ”

Not a single left?

Chu Yueqing's brows furrowed more and more, impossible, impossible. No matter how big the fire is, no one will come out alive. She wanted to ask Steward Zhang, but the words turned on the tip of her tongue, and she asked another thing: "The younger brother of the queen's mother, did you find it later?" ”

"I haven't found it," Steward Zhang said: "Over the years, the queen has never stopped looking for the little son of the Dong family, and later Princess Changning and the Feng family also looked for it." It's a pity that there is a vast sea of people, looking for people is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and as time slowly passes, it is not very likely that the little son of the Dong family is still alive. ”

Another sigh.

Chu Yueqing suddenly thought of something, and asked, "If the son of the Dong family is still alive, how old should he be now?" ”

Steward Zhang was slightly stunned and said, "If you are still alive, you should have twenty-four or five." ”

Chu Yueqing then asked, "Among those black-clothed people in the Book Pavilion, are there any people of the same age?" ”

Steward Zhang was completely stunned and opened her mouth, but she was too surprised to speak, and after a while, she found her voice, "How is it possible?" ”

Chu Yueqing also felt that it was extremely unlikely, but she asked, "Then why is there a token of the 'Dong' clan?" ”

Steward Zhang stopped talking for a while, picked up the token from the desk, and looked at it carefully. The Dong character in the middle of this token is engraved on a jade, which means that the owner of this token is very likely to be the Jingwei secretly cultivated by the 'Dong' family back then... He paused before saying, "It's unlikely. If the Dong family really still has Jingwei alive and inherited it, I am afraid that it will be in the hands of the queen. ”

Chu Yueqing's fingers on the table stopped, and she looked up at Steward Zhang, she had also thought about this possibility, and it was more reasonable.

And the day before yesterday, why the queen mother suddenly summoned her to the palace seemed to make sense.

and the sweet fragrance she smelled last night similar to that in Changchun Palace, which seemed to confirm this idea.

But among them, there are still unreasonable places.

Queen Mother, what do you want the Red Feather Sword for?

Is it to save people? If you want to save people, who are you saving?

Thinking about it, Chu Yueqing didn't know who would make the queen mother so troublesome.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Steward Zhang also stood quietly, and between his words and deeds, he already regarded her as the backbone.

Chu Yueqing rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Go and see, among these people who are still alive, are there any people with the word 'Dong' token?" ”

Steward Zhang said yes, and then asked, "If there is, what should be done?" ”

Chu Yueqing pondered for a moment, she didn't plan to make enemies with the queen yet. After all, in name, the queen mother is still the mother of the five princes, so she is naturally also her mother-in-law. Moreover, Xuanyuan Hao is no longer in the capital, and she can't add an enemy to him when he doesn't know. After thinking about it, she said, "You go and see it first, if there is, let's let it go." ”

"Released?"

"Let it go."

Although Steward Zhang was puzzled, he didn't ask more, said a few more words, and was about to leave.

Chu Yueqing got up and sent him out. But when she walked to the bottom of the corridor, she suddenly remembered what Princess Changning said when she asked her to go to Fenghou Mansion to see Mrs. Fenghou, and immediately said to Steward Zhang: "It's better to lock it up first, I'm going to Fenghou Mansion later, and I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

Steward Zhang groaned slightly, diǎn said yes, and returned to Qinwu Academy.

After Steward Zhang left, Chu Yueqing ordered someone to prepare a carriage, prepare some small gifts, and went to the Fenghou Mansion.

The carriage traveled for about half an hour before it stopped. She opened the curtain and saw that the Fenghou Mansion had arrived.

The little guy in the Fenghou Mansion, when he saw the word "Hao" engraved on the carriage, he naturally recognized who the person in it was. So he sent one person to report inside, and the other person greeted and led the way at the door.

Speaking of which, this is the second time she has come to the Fenghou Mansion, but she feels that this mansion is more and more intimate.

She knew in her heart that she was a person in this mansion and sincerely treated her as a relative. And Mrs. Fenghou has a straightforward temperament, and the whole house is very warm by her.

Second watch, good night. (To be continued.) )
