When he said this with such restraint, Xu Ying was also surprised.

Originally, she really only thought that he wanted to subdue the generals under him to put gold on his face to satisfy his vanity of being able to write and martial arts, so even if he helped him take care of military affairs, he only did it because he saw the opportunity out of his own interests, why did he still have ambitions?

It's a sight to behold.

After glancing at him twice, he said, "These things are very common in the imperial court, and Feng Ge Lao is not a big deal. It's just that as a senior, the posture is inevitably too high. If adults are not willing to be used, it is not impossible. ”

Song Che looked over, his eyes were confused, like a deer.

Xu Ying leaned forward, stared at those eyes, and said, "Feng Yuzhang looks down on adults because he thinks they are incompetent. I believe the emperor also knows it. But the emperor still hopes that the adults can quickly establish their prestige in the Chinese military camp. If the adults can find the evidence of Jiang Sui's guilt with their own ability, they will naturally be able to prove themselves. ”

Song Che was a little flustered by her, and looked away and said, "In this way, I have to find that Madam Jiang." ”

Xu Ying nodded, "In addition, Feng Yuzhang and my uncle must also know that Jiang Yu is in the backstage of the court, if the adults can find out this person by the way, I believe that the emperor will be even happier, and the world will also believe in the ability of the prince more." ”

Song Che pursed his lips and looked out the window, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Prince Duan stayed in the palace for lunch.

After dinner, he returned to the palace and was busy with official business for a while, and saw that the queen mother had taken a nap, so he returned to the Qianqing Palace and went to Cining Palace with the emperor.

The Queen Mother was dressing up, and when she heard that the brothers were coming together, she got up and went to the front hall, and said with a smile: "You two are upside down." ”

The emperor hehehe: "These days are free, come and talk to the queen mother." After speaking, he said: "My brother has something to say to his mother." ”

The Queen Mother raised her head. Prince Duan then said: "Erchen heard that the queen mother intended to marry Che'er, and Erchen thought about it, I am afraid that this matter is inappropriate, Peiyuan once ordered Che'er a baby when she was alive. The other party is Pei Yuan's handkerchief. I ordered it before I was born. It shows that if you give birth to a girl, you will become a child's family, and if you give birth to a boy, you will become a Jinlan brother. “

"Betrothed?" The Queen Mother opened her mouth wide, "Why don't I know?" ”

The emperor hurriedly said: "It's a small handkerchief, and the queen mother entered the palace when she was young." Pei Yatou's affairs outside are inevitably not so complete. ”

The Queen Mother stared at Prince Duan with a calm face: "Is this true?" ”

"Really!" Prince Duan nodded, and took out a gold-inlaid jade unicorn from his arms: "Queen Mother, please see, this is a token left by the other party." ”

The Queen Mother picked it up and glanced at it, then put it back in his hand. Frowned and said, "Her handkerchief, which lady is it?" ”

Prince Duan frowned and pondered: "This son-in-law really doesn't know very well, it was when Che'er was two years old when she took him to the palace, and the son-in-law didn't go at that time, but I only heard her say such a thing after she came back, and only said that the young lady was not from Jingshi." The two of them hit it off at first sight. ”

"See you in the palace?" Before the Queen Mother could answer, the emperor had already said: "I seem to have a little impression when you say this. ”

"That's it!" Prince Duan nodded violently: "Pei Yuan also said that he met at the palace banquet held by the imperial brother." After speaking, he said to the Queen Mother: "But although there is a marriage contract, it is just an exchange of tokens, and it is not official, and I haven't come to the door for so many years." Maybe people don't take it seriously at all. The queen mother doesn't have to take it too seriously. ”

"Shut up," the Queen Mother scolded him lightly, "How can you be a man of your word without trust?" ”

Prince Duan hurriedly got up and said.

The Queen Mother looked at him, but she didn't have the slightest bit of a chatter. Song Che did not hear Princess Duan say about this marriage, Princess Duan was her most beloved niece when she was alive, since this kind of thing, how could she not tell her?

She looked at the two brothers in disbelief, and they were really more upright than the other, and she couldn't even see the slightest abnormality on her face.

Thinking about their filial piety and thoughtfulness for decades, there has never been anything wrong. Besides, if you don't joke, even if Prince Duan talks nonsense, the emperor will follow him and talk nonsense? This Cheng Shuying and Song Che are a good match. It's not harming them, and they have no reason to lie to her, right?

However, these two brothers have a lot of ghosts when they are young, and the emperor loves Song Che, and when it comes to qualifications, Cheng Shuying is not as good as her aunt Princess Duan. Therefore, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not play tricks with her together.

The Queen Mother's heart tossed and turned, and she hid the doubts in her heart, took two sips of tea, and said in a rambling voice: "Since this is the case, now that Che'er is also older, it is better to find this person's family." If you can't find it, won't you delay Che'er in vain? In my opinion, the emperor will now issue an edict to the world, and if no one comes out to recognize this marriage within two months, then the marriage of men and women has nothing to do with it. ”

"Zhang Bang?"

The emperor and Prince Duan were stunned.

This is nonsense, where did the marriage contract come from? If this is going to be released, there must be no one to unveil the list, I thought that the Queen Mother had no way to take this matter, but I didn't expect to be defeated by her in turn!

"Erchen thinks that this kind of thing should not be known to everyone." Prince Duan secretly wiped his sweat.

The emperor also said: "Che'er is the most shy, if this is publicized, I am afraid that he will not be able to come to the stage." ”

"Men should get married, women should get married, what's there to be ashamed of?" The Queen Mother was graceful and calm, and the upturned orchid fingers were full of confidence to see through it, "Could it be that you plan to protect him for the rest of your life?" This person, only with a family can he really grow, he has been in a situation for two days in the past three days, you never thought that it would be better to have someone to take care of him? ”

This is a roundabout saying that they are not dedicated to Song Che.

The emperor coughed and turned his face away, and Prince Duan also felt a tingling itch on his back.

After lunch, Song Che took Shang Hu and them to inquire about the Jiang family.

The Chengde Guard Office is on the outskirts of the city, so Jiang Zheng basically returns home every day. The Jiang family's house is four in front and back, and there are many large and small courtyards in it, but they are almost full, because Jiang Sui has many concubines and concubines, and there are many concubines, so there are many people, and it is said that the whole house is like a banquet at home, and there are people everywhere.

"If such a large family wants to feed, it must have a lot of income. This surnamed Jiang will inevitably not be clean in both pockets. Song Che said after listening to the report. He asked Shang Hu again: "Have you ever seen Mrs. Jiang?" ”

"I didn't see it." Shang Hu frowned and said: "The little ones are going straight to the main room, the strange thing is that there is no Mrs. Jiang in the room, Jiang Su himself is there, but he is playing with the two concubines......

When Shang Hu said this, he immediately bit his mouth.

Sure enough, Song Che asked, "What is the Buddha of Joy?" ”

Shang Hu's face was so red that he was about to drip blood, and he looked at him and Xu Ying, speechless.

Xu Ying glanced at Song Che playfully, smiled and shook the fan steadily: "Happy Buddha, the name is the Buddha who rejoices when you look at it." ”

Song Che said: "That's Maitreya Buddha? ”

Shang Hu held back his internal injuries and couldn't help but puff out.

Xu Ying stopped her fan and nodded in contemplation: "That's pretty much it." ”

Song Che glared at Shang Hu, who was coughing, and continued: "This Jiang Zhi actually took advantage of the absence of the main room to bring the concubine into the main room, and he didn't take ethics and morality into his eyes!" - Madame Chiang is not in the room, so where did she go? ”

"No matter where she is, she definitely won't go to visit relatives." Xu Ying put away the fan and said, "Mrs. Chen, since Mrs. Jiang asked them to bring down Jiang's lawsuit, the situation must be very difficult. Jiang Zhi would not let her walk around at will, and Mrs. Chen said that she would not be seen for many days, and I guess she was probably put under house arrest by Jiang Sui. ”

Song Che nodded, got up and paced a few steps, and suddenly turned around again: "Go and inquire about Madam Jiang's exact whereabouts - forget it, I'll go by myself." ”

Xu Ying also stood up: "I'll go with you." ”

Song Che's heart shook and he nodded almost invisibly.

Jiang's house is only one street away from the inn, and this place is not as prosperous as Beijing, and it is very sparsely populated at night.

When I arrived at the wall of the Jiang family's courtyard, I saw that the courtyard was silent, and when I saw that it was already dark, I must have fallen asleep. Song Che summoned Shang Hu and the six of them, "He actually took someone to find out the whereabouts of Madam Jiang, and Su Lai went in and opened the west door." Shang Hu went to keep an eye on Jiang Sui, and the rest of the people went to the roof to squat to answer, and immediately heard as soon as there was any movement. ”

The crowd slid away.

Xu Ying followed Song Che to the west door, and there was an immediate sound of tiles above his head, knowing that the guards had gone up to the house. Neither of them spoke again, and when the closed door suddenly opened, and Sulai beckoned inside, he walked in lightly, and went down the wall to the back house.

Unobstructed along the way. Xu Ying couldn't help but ask him: "Aren't you most unaccustomed to this kind of stealing chickens and touching dogs?" Why do I see you doing it so comfortably now? “

Song Che was a little uncomfortable, and looked at her and said, "The one who is close to the ink is black!" ”

Xu Ying raised her lips and continued to move forward.

Soon entered the back house, and the lock under the second door had already been picked by Su Lai. But looking at the layout of the house, this Jiang Sui is really from Jiangmen, although he can't see people, but there are places to place weapons everywhere, and the yard is very quiet everywhere, and there will be a few drinking and bragging voices in the ordinary house at this time, but there is no one in their house.

After entering the second gate, He Jing came to meet him and said: "There is a small courtyard behind the west courtyard, guarded by a few mothers-in-law, and there are several big wolf dogs, and the small ones are afraid of alarming them, so they don't dare to get too close." ”

Xu Ying nodded: "It must be there, go over and take a look!" ”

Walked directly along the corridor, and sure enough, there was a small side courtyard with a lot of barren grass growing in the corner of the west courtyard.

When I reached the foot of the wall, the sound of my mother-in-law coughing and spitting came from me. Lying on the hole in the wall and looking, I saw several huge black shadows lying on the ground under the crescent moon, sticking out their tongues and making a snoring sound, and with the twisting of their heads, there was also the sound of several chains dragging them.
