The little maid came in and said, "Madam, Dingxing Hou asks to see you, and the master has gone to the front yard to meet the guests." ”

Li Mingfeng still came overnight. Cui Keyin and Lu Ying exchanged glances.

Jiang Shi wondered: "It's so late, what is Dingxing Hou doing?" The two have never been in contact. ”

Cui Keyin asked about the origin of Mrs. Yang and diverted the topic.

Mrs. Yang is Cui Zhenyi's top boss, the mother of Guo Shouning, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Zhongji Temple.

The two talked for less than two quarters of an hour, and the little maid said outside the door: "The master is back, please come over to Mrs. and Miss." ”

Cui Zhenyi was so angry that he didn't wait for Cui Keyin to salute, so he said loudly: "What an old bastard, he actually apologized, but in fact he asked for his concubine." ”

It doesn't get much more humiliating than that.

Jiang was surprised.

Cui Keyin took the tea handed by the maid and put it on the kang table in front of Cui Zhenyi, and gently persuaded: "Uncle dissipate his anger, don't be like that bastard." ”

Cui Zhenyi scolded Li Mingfeng for a while, and only when his mouth was dry did he pick up the cold tea and drank it all.

After Jiang heard the ins and outs of the matter, he also scolded Li Jiang and said, "Master, you have to impeach him with a bullet, you can't just forget it." ”

Cui Keyin was afraid that Cui Zhenyi would really go to the emperor to sue Li Mingfeng in anger, and make this matter known to everyone, so she hurriedly said: "No, there is a thoroughness, he was also present at the time." ”

Zhou Quan is the imperial history, and it is his duty to supervise hundreds of officials.

Jiang nodded again and again, and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

………………………………

Zhou Heng, who entered the city at the same time, lived in the backyard of a medicinal herb shop in Xizhimen.

He sat on the kang, and in front of him stood a white-faced, beardless man, whispering something.

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "You go back." ”

The man bowed, bowed his head and walked backwards to the door, pulled up his hood to cover his head and face, turned and strode away.

Zhou Heng sat still like a stone sculpture, until the twilight was four, the room was dark, and Huanxi carefully lit the lamp and came in, he came back to his senses and said, "Tea." ”

Huanxi quickly brewed hot tea and put it in front of Zhou Heng, and said, "Do you want to let Yuanshan in?" ”

Yuanshan is Zhou Heng's personal guard, not to mention his strong martial arts, he is quite trusted by Zhou Heng, and many things are handed over to him to do.

Zhou Heng shook his head. In order not to attract attention, the staff members went to Beijing in batches, but this was not a good time to meet.

Huanxi didn't know what to say, opened his mouth, and finally stood by the kang with his hands down.

Zhou Heng drank tea, thought about his thoughts for a while, and said, "Let's set the meal." ”

Huanxi breathed a sigh of relief, his shoulders slumped, and he went to the kitchen to deliver the food briskly.

The lines on Zhou Heng's face couldn't help but soften, looking at the jumping candle flame, but his eyes were cold.

The mother concubine was strangled to death by the palace people with a white silk in her sleep, although the father punished the palace maid of the nine clans, but the real culprit behind the scenes was not found, but there were rumors that the mother concubine was harsh and could not tolerate people.

The mother concubine is gentle and obedient, how can she treat the palace people harshly?

At that time, the father favored the mother concubine alone, and did not enter the Kunning Palace where the queen Yang lived all the year round. Although the eldest son of the queen was the crown prince, he was cowardly and had average qualifications, and his father was very dissatisfied with it.

Later, it was rumored that his father intended to change the reserve. Some people said that the father favored the mother concubine and wanted to set up the son of the mother concubine, that is, he was the crown prince, and abolished the original prince.

At that time, he was still young, and he only remembered that the queen with her hair full of pearls and emerald rushed to Changxinju, where her mother lived, to find trouble with her mother. He was kicked out and hiding in a corner to eavesdrop.

The queen's voice was very loud, saying that the mother concubine was bewitching and seducing the lord. The concubine spoke softly, but he couldn't hear what the concubine said.

Then, the life of the mother concubine became difficult, and many concubines in the palace ignored the mother concubine.

Once, the mother was so sick that she almost died. He found out three or four years ago that it was the queen who made him poison, if it wasn't for the mother concubine who only took one bite, he was afraid that he would have died of poison at that time. But even so, there are often cats and dogs in the Changxin Palace who die after eating a little food. The father and emperor changed batch after batch of people, and finally found someone from the mother's mother's house, and the poisoning stopped.

But the mother still died in the end. If it wasn't for the queen's hand, he wouldn't believe it. It's just that the palace person was punished by the Nine Clans at that time, and the matter was very tricky to investigate.

He was driven to the fiefdom, and the queen didn't intend to let him go, if it weren't for the father and emperor who sent a distant mountain to protect him, the grass on his grave would have been high a long time ago.

Now that his father has collapsed, his eldest brother has succeeded to the throne, the country is called Zhi'an, and the queen has become the queen mother. Now that he is being summoned to Beijing under the pretext of missing him, isn't it just that someone has come in and said that his palace has purple gas? There is no word for the sin you want to add.

Zhou Heng laughed silently, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The door was gently pushed open, Huanxi came in with a tray, put two dishes and a bowl of fried noodles in front of Zhou Heng, and said, "Childe will have a few dishes, and the meals are all clean." ”

Zhou Heng didn't say a word and ate it.

The next day, the city gate was opened, and he quietly went out of the city, and only changed his clothes and horses at noon, and entered the city with his identity revealed, handed a note to the palace, and waited outside the palace gate.

………………………………

Cui Keyin got up early in the morning, freshened up and went to Chunshan Residence.

Jiang Shi was surprised, took her hand and said: "Good boy, when you were in Taiping Lane, your grandmother didn't let you settle down in the morning and dusk, come to me, don't use these false courtesies, you just do what you want, don't be restrained." ”

Cui Keyin agreed, and the two had breakfast together. The maid reported: "Grandma Gu is here." ”

Grandma Gu is Gu Ming's wife Li, the girl of the Li family in Lujiang.

The wife of Cui Zhengon, the third son of the Cui family's fifth room, is Gu Ming's younger sister, and the two families often have contacts. Gu Ming received the letter in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, and invited Gu Quan to go to the city early yesterday morning, and only came back at dusk.

Gu Ming told the Gu family that the eldest lady of the Cui family came to the capital, so she naturally wanted to come over to see her.

Cui Keyin was ordered by the Jiang family to greet her at the Hanging Flower Gate.

Gu Shi saw a girl with picturesque eyebrows standing at the door, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, her eyes were amazing, and she hurriedly took two steps and said, "But the Cui family's sister?" ”

Gu Ming is the same generation as Cui Muhua.

Cui Keyin bent her knees and shouted with a smile: "Sister-in-law." ”

"Sister, hurry up." Gu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to help Cui Keyin, held her hand tightly, and said, "I look so beautiful, if I were a man, I wouldn't be willing to let go." ”

It's a joke about her.

Lu Ying, who was following behind Cui Keyin, stiffened.

Cui Keyin said casually: "Sister-in-law laughed." ”

Li saw that Cui Keyin was not the girl who turned her face without saying a word, so she liked it even more. While the two of them walked towards the Spring Mountain Residence, she said: "The person in our family was really angry when he saw the scene at that time, and my sister was so calm that she was calm. ”

Cui Keyin thanked him again and said, "Fortunately, there are brothers, otherwise I don't know what to do." ”

"You can't let that go." Lee gritted his teeth.
