Chapter 638: Disguise
Mrs. Weiguo entered Beijing in July, and Emperor Zhaoqing sent the two of them from the northeast in the name of the queen, and his jealousy of King Beijing can be seen.
Mrs. Weiguo entered Beijing, not only to dispel Emperor Zhaoqing's suspicion of his son, but mainly to select the princess of the main family for King Beijing, who was over thirty years old and still single.
In less than a month, the queen announced that Jiang's mother and daughter had entered the palace several times, and mentioned a few daughters in front of her, including scholars, famous ladies, and noble daughters from Kyoto, all of whom were good girls with both talent and appearance, and both morality.
Mrs. Wei Guo listened to everything that was good, but she didn't mean to make a decision, and when she returned to the house, Jiang Huan asked, and the old lady sneered and said:
"Fortunately, I'm here, otherwise the emperor might not be able to find some kind of embroidered pillow for your eldest brother."
Mrs. Weiguo has not been back to Beijing for more than ten years, it doesn't mean that her ears are deaf, Queen Rui said that she can't look down on any of these ladies, her eldest son Wencheng Wude, is a good son of the world, and there should be a good woman worthy of him.
"What kind of daughter-in-law does the mother want to find for her eldest brother?" Jiang Huan asked curiously while rubbing her mother's shoulder.
Mrs. Wei Guo closed her eyes and leaned back: "This temperament can't be soft, to be the daughter-in-law of our Jiang family, you must first be strong, otherwise Jiao Didi will cry and cry when she encounters wind and rain, and your eldest brother will be bored." This talent, you can't have a face, you can't have a name, the most important thing is to be able to help your eldest brother, which requires her to have a vision. There is a city in the chest. This family can't be too good, otherwise the girl raised is above the top, how can An'an Province marry far away to our Ningdong City to live, three days and two heads thinking about the mother's family in the capital, sooner or later it is an elbow turned out. ”
I heard that the emperor once intended to point out the little county lord of the Xiang Wangfu to her son, Mrs. Wei Guo thanked Bumin, their Jiang family did not need a clan daughter to paste gold, the emperor's niece was good in the eyes of outsiders, and in her eyes, she was a troublemaker. She is a daughter-in-law for her son. It's not about asking the Buddha to go home and make offerings.
Fortunately, the emperor somehow dispelled this bad idea, and Empress Rui did not mention the name of the county lord of Xiwen in front of her.
Jiang Huan stood behind her mother's back, her eyes dripping, and she suddenly laughed.
Mrs. Wei Guo was interrupted by her, and asked her angrily, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Jiang Huan leaned into her ear: "What my mother said is all these rules." I do know that there is a man in the Dao. She's ah."
Mrs. Wei Guo opened her eyes with a "whoosh".

Palace. At dusk, Emperor Zhaoqing and Da Tidian sat on the terrace of the Imperial Garden to watch the sharp red maple leaves, and the attendants stayed downstairs. No one dared to disturb them.
"Jingchen, are they out of Beijing?"
"Count the hours, they're already on the outskirts." ”
The maple tree next to the building is tall, and the branches and leaves extend to the side of the terrace, and Emperor Zhaoqing can reach it, so he picks a piece down casually, and says to himself:
"I sent those dead soldiers to protect them secretly, Jing Chen's skills are superb, and I am not afraid that they will not be able to deal with any danger they encounter."
Originally, he shouldn't be in a hurry, Da'an Misfortune and Lifebreaker have been found, with these two people in his hands, he can use a more secure method to find out the gang of rebellious ministers and thieves one by one.
But there was a matter in the palace that made him unable to wait, and he had to solve those who got in the way as soon as possible, so that he could concentrate on planning what he wanted to do.
Da Tidian didn't seem to notice that Emperor Zhaoqing was distracted, and lowered his head to drink his tea, one taste at a time.
***
The three of them went out of the city in the afternoon, and after an hour's journey, it was dark.
The coachman who drove the carriage was a mute, but he knew the road very well, and when he saw that it was getting dark, he gestured to Jing Chen, pointing out the path of a nearby village and town, and they hurried to settle down before dark.
The population of the town is less than 2,000, there is only one inn in the town, the guests are sparse, and the cowshed is behind the guest room on the second floor, and the smell is not very good, but they don't have anything to provoke, it is better than sleeping on the side of the road.
The three rooms are next to each other, Yu Shu sleeps in the middle room, in case there is a situation in the middle of the night, Jingchen and Xue Rui can deal with it as soon as possible.
It is worth mentioning that Jingchen somehow persuaded Emperor Zhaoqing to follow Yu Shu's several pairs of eyeliner in Anling City, and did not track them out of the city.
Yu Shu checked the doors and windows again before going to bed, and uneasily placed a few teacups in the middle of the window, if someone wanted to sneak in through the window, and the cup fell on the ground, it would wake her up, she didn't want to be like that unlucky Qincha, and called someone into the room in her dream to slaughter.
In the middle of the night, Jingchen was lying in his clothes, heard a knock on the door, turned over and sat up from the bed, walked to open the door without a sound, and saw the person standing at the door, regardless of the intention, turned sideways to let him in, and then covered the door.
Xue Rui put the candle in his hand on the table, sat down, and waited for Jingchen to close the door and stand still opposite him, he looked up at his expression, and the first sentence he opened his mouth was a question, but also a certainty:
"You're going to use Ah Shu as bait?"
Jing Chen's quiet eyes fluctuated slightly, and there was a pause in his long breathing, Xue Rui's questioning reminded him of a few days ago, when he asked him to go to Taixi Tower at night to talk secretly-
He said that the accomplices of the traitors had been found in the Taishi Library.
He said that they could not be caught by surprise, but could only force them to throw themselves into the net.
He said that if they couldn't catch this gang of thieves as soon as possible, sooner or later they would attack Yu Shu.
So, they made arrangements for him to find an excuse to take Yu Shu out of the heavily guarded capital, so as to lure the snake out of the hole.
"I'll protect her and won't let her get into trouble."
Listening to Jing Chen's half-acknowledgmented answer, Xue Rui smiled angrily: "So you lied to her, saying that you wanted to find the princess's tomb to find Yunhua?" ”
As soon as he heard about this from Yu Shu's mouth, he guessed the truth and persuaded her not to go, but she didn't listen, so he had to follow.
"I didn't lie to her." Jing Chen's voice deepened, "I did come to find my father. ”
He won't listen to what he says, they all think he's a puppet who will only be at the mercy of others, he will believe what they say, and he won't doubt what they don't say.
Then he made them think that he didn't think that there was something strange about the death of his parents twenty years ago, let them think that he didn't know that his father was still alive, and let them think that he didn't know that Taishi Shuyuan was even murdered, and the murderer behind the scenes might be related to his father who was still alive.
He didn't want to use Yu Shu as bait to lure out those traitors, he just wanted to find his father Yunhua and ask him why he was the one who couldn't help himself, and ask him what was false and what was true.
Then, he will give her an explanation.
Xue Rui said coldly: "Then you are using her as a cover, so that the emperor can rest assured that you will leave the capital." ”
Whether Yunhua is dead or not, the emperor knows best, and the big mention should also be an insider, so they dare to put such a big bait and push out Jingchen and Yu Shu, not afraid that Yunhua will not take the bait.
Jingchen was not stupid at all, Yu Shu told him that Yunhua was not dead, he was silent, but he dared to take Yu Shu to the princess's tomb to verify it.
Because without Yu Shu, he couldn't get out of Anling City alone, and without Yu Shu, Yunhua might not show up.
"Won't you feel a little guilty about using her like this?" Xue Rui could see Jingchen's steps clearly, but he couldn't understand his actions.
"Whatever you want," Jing Chen didn't argue with his words, he turned his head to look next door, and said slowly: "You can go and tell her the truth now, I won't stop you." ”
Xue Rui shook his head and said, "Tell her that she will still go with you, Ashu, I know more than you." ”
She may be greedy for life and afraid of death, but at the same time, she also dares to act, and if she can take the risk of seeing Yunhua once, even if she knows that Lu Dao is being used by Jingchen, she will not retreat.
So telling her and not telling her, the result is the same.
Jingchen glanced back at him.
Xue Rui got up and said, "I won't talk much, you can do it yourself." ”
Xue Rui left, Jingchen didn't feel sleepy, blew out the white wax he left behind, and sat on the edge of the bed with a kimono to meditate until the rooster crowed
As soon as the morning dawned, the three of them had a simple breakfast in the small shop, and immediately set off for the road, nothing special happened on the way, and when they arrived in Anxian County, they happened to have lunch.
When I arrived in Anxian County, it was close to the princess's tomb, and I went north out of the city, at most half an hour, and I rode a horse faster.
Xue Rui chose a restaurant not far from the city gate to settle down, stored the horses, and went to the backyard to see the room, so they went to the front building to order.
The restaurant faces the street, Anxian is a small county town with a concentrated population, the city gate is particularly lively, people come and go in the daytime, the selling is endless, there are tattered beggars wearing tatters on the street, some are squatting opposite the restaurant, stretching their necks to smell the fragrance of wine and food wafting out of the building, and the eyes are so hungry that the beads of the eyes are going to fall out.
Yu Shu and they all brought a change of clothes before they went out, but they were coarse cloth towels, and the three of them sat in this bright restaurant on all sides, which was eye-catching, it was really a small place where there were no such beautiful characters, and they were not locals at first glance.
I didn't eat well last night, Yu Shu ordered a table of dishes, didn't ask for wine, listened to Xiao Er's report the name of the dish, called a sweet and a salty soup, and when I brought it up, Yu Shu smiled and pointed to Xue Rui:
"This store is really good at fooling people, make a corn custard called golden dew, make an egg custard called Fengwan soup, dare to ask for a tael of silver, I think I haven't tasted anything good, and I will change the menu for us to forget the machine building, and take a few more names that can bluff people."
Before Xue Rui could speak, someone next to him laughed and answered:
"This little brother looks like a guest from out of town, I don't know that this is a famous black shop within a radius of five miles, and when you meet a fat sheep like you, you won't be slaughtered."
Yu Shu heard the sound and looked at the person who interjected, and his eyes suddenly lit up, it was a young man dressed in grasshopper green shorts, about the same age as her, with a ponytail tied obliquely, and the corners of his mouth and eyes turned up when he spoke, and his whole body was full of vigorous vitality.
After looking at this person, Yu Shu smiled "hehe", turned his head, and quickly exchanged a meaningful look with Xue Rui. (To be continued......)
