Ninety-five

In the fourth year of Xihe, the most turbulent year of the Dasheng Chengzong Dynasty, many people feel that this is the longest year in their lives.

In May, the poisoning case of Wu's concubine in the East Palace shook the government and the opposition, although only the female eunuchs of the East Palace and the Shang Diet Bureau, the palace province and other cadres were disposed of, but there were many discussions in the palace and various mansions, and the tension in the imperial capital became stronger.

At the end of the month, Chengzong's harem Duan Concubine and Qing Concubine died of illness within three days, and the imperial court edict ordered Duan Concubine's father and two Huai salt transport envoys Zeng Hong to enter Beijing Mian Sheng, Qing Concubine's father Taichang Temple Shaoqing Liang Yue was dismissed from his post and returned to his home, and his brother Liang Qilin, who participated in the politics of Shandong Buzheng Division, was imprisoned pending trial for the draft grain during his tenure.

In June, the prince's guard of honor inspected the south of the Yangtze River, and when he was in the border of the state capital, he encountered pirates plundering the city, and eleven people including Zhan Shifu, Fu Cheng, and Zhu Yi were killed, and the crown prince was nowhere to be found.

When the news reached the imperial capital, the saint was furious, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the saint immediately ordered the third son of the emperor, Xiao Hongqing, to lead the tiger cavalry out of the imperial capital, and Zheng Jin, the prince of Anguo, and Huang Biaoqing, the loyal liebo, went to Jiangnan to transfer the soldiers and horses of the governor's mansion to investigate the case and find the traces of the prince.

For a while, the military power in Jiangnan was paid to Xiao Hongqing's hands.

The Jiangnan Prefectures, especially the Linzhou Mansion, became the focus of the entire Dasheng Dynasty.

And Zhou Baolu, quiet as usual.

That day, the news reached the imperial capital, and a day later, when the third prince Xiao Hongqing left the imperial capital, Zhou Baolu actually got the news, as if a thunderbolt sounded in her ears, and she only felt the buzzing in her ears for a while, and she couldn't hear anything.

I can't even think of anything.

Wang Jinxiu took her hand anxiously, Zhou Baolu still had time to think at this time: Is my appearance terrible? Jinxiu was so anxious that she was about to cry.

She really didn't know what to do, and at that moment, the blood on her face visibly faded to the naked eye, her face turned pale, and her body shook as if she was about to fall.

But she didn't really fall, she grabbed Wang Jinxiu's hand tightly, and made Wang Jinxiu grit her teeth in pain, Zhou Baolu wanted to speak, wanted to ask what was going on, but she opened her mouth and didn't say a word.

Wang Jinxiu's tears flowed down: "Xiaolu, Xiaolu, don't be like this, Xiaolu, just cry quickly, just cry." She held Zhou Baolu's hand tightly, very hard, as if in this way, Zhou Baolu would be better, but Zhou Baolu couldn't even hear her voice, but one was ringing in her ears, and she couldn't even hear herself talking.

Zhou Baolu said: "How long has it been? ”

But Wang Jinxiu could only see her open her mouth, but she didn't make a sound.

Wang Jinxiu was scared half to death, the cherry behind her saw that the appearance of the young lady was really wrong, she bullied herself, pressed her hands on Zhou Baolu's body several times, Zhou Baolu's body was planted forward, and after she was stabilized, she stabilized, and then asked: "How long has it been?" ”

Wang Jinxiu was more out of shape than her, crying very much, probably frightened by Zhou Baolu: "It's been three days, the third master went out of Beijing, and he came to tell me before leaving, and asked me to come and tell you, he said...... Woo woo, he said, you don't have manpower, no channels, you can't even tell the news, he said, although you don't have a name, but you should know more than others...... Xiaolu, the third master said that he was very sensitive at this time, everyone looked at him, he didn't come to see you, he went to Jiangnan, but whenever there was any news, he would tell you immediately, Xiaolu, don't worry, it's just missing, but it's good news. ”

Wang Jinxiu said these words intermittently, still crying very much, Zhou Baolu felt that whatever sound she heard was as if it was blurred through a veil, everything was wooden, and her hands and feet were dull, she slowly raised her hand, patted Wang Jinxiu's shoulder, and didn't know what to say, after a while, she said: "Don't cry." ”

"He's fine." Zhou Baolu said.

After a while, Zhou Baolu said again: "He'll be fine." ”

"Wow~~" Wang Jinxiu felt that Zhou Baolu, who looked like this, was really uncomfortable.

Zhou Baolu looked at Wang Jinxiu helplessly, she was just a little sluggish now, and she felt a little problematic, but she was really fine, she didn't even cry.

Zhou Baolu reached out and touched her cheek a little uncertainly, seeing that her hand was dry, well, she really didn't cry.

She still remembered what Xiao Hongcheng told her that day, he said, don't worry, I won't have an accident, I have to come back to marry you.

Well, I'm waiting for you.

Zhou Baolu waited for Wang Jinxiu to cry before asking, "Did the third master say anything?" Tell me if it's not with me. ”

Wang Jinxiu nodded: "The third master said that he left a group to receive information in the imperial capital, and if there is anything for you, give it to me and ask me to tell you." If I have something, tell them too. ”

She thought about it carefully: "The third master left in a hurry, and only explained that he asked me to tell you the news and contact this matter, and he didn't say anything else." ”

Zhou Baolu nodded.

Wang Jinxiu cried a lot, and persuaded her a lot before leaving. After Wang Jinxiu left, Zhou Baolu sat silently in the garden for a long, long time, and when it was dark, she began to cry.

She was crying, she thought, very sadly.

She didn't believe that something would happen to Xiao Hongcheng, so she thought that she should cry. Although she didn't believe that Xiao Hongcheng would have an accident, she still felt very painful in her heart and had difficulty breathing, so she cried very sadly, which didn't seem to be fake at all.

Zhou Baolu cried and thought, Xiao Hongcheng was obviously prepared for this matter, he knew who he was facing, she remembered Xiao Hongcheng and said, I will let him take another step.

Is this the step of Jean?

Zhou Baolu went to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion to relax, and in the afternoon, she went to find her uncle Chen Xihua: "Uncle, is His Royal Highness in the imperial capital?" ”

Chen Xihua said: "What's the matter? ”

"After the disappearance of the crown prince." Zhou Baolu said slowly, that sluggish state is like a shadow, I don't know what's going on in Lu Dao, it's just not good, it's like half of the soul is missing, and the whole person is missing, but his thinking is very clear: "What did His Royal Highness do in the imperial capital?" ”

Chen Xihua is obviously an extremely smart person: "His Royal Highness is in the imperial capital, and he has met some people in the past few days. ”

"Has His Royal Highness also come to see his uncle?"

"Yes."

"What did my uncle say?" Zhou Baolu didn't ask the Second Highness what he was doing at all, he just asked how you answered.

Chen Xihua said: "I said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ordered by heaven, and he will definitely turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious, and His Royal Highness Don't worry." ”

Zhou Baolu nodded, and said very slowly, giving people the illusion of thinking: "What about others? ”

Chen Xihua said with a smile: "Other people, naturally there are other people who know the Tao, at this time, it is not appropriate to inquire." ”

Zhou Baolu thought for a long time: "Uncle gave me a thorough explanation." ”

Chen Xihua shook his head and said, "I don't have a bottom." ”

Zhou Baolu was very disappointed, she decided that after Xiao Hongcheng came back, she must give him a slap, and then she said, "Should I ask Commander Shen?" ”

"It didn't work." Chen Xihua shook his head again: "Commander Shen is naturally loyal to the emperor. ”

Right! Zhou Baolu understood that Xiao Hongcheng had grown up and had been canonized as the crown prince, he could not use the emperor's team forever, what he should really trust was his own people.

He had to have his own team.

He must have his own team to do such a thing.

Zhou Baolu's thinking was very clear and jumpy, an idea turned several times in his mind, and then said very suddenly: "Has Uncle ever visited Lin Ge Lao?" ”

Chen Xihua smiled: "I'm going to go tonight." ”

Zhou Baolu said: "I think, my uncle might as well arrange for someone to inquire first, whether the female relatives of Lin Ge's hometown have entered the palace to see Concubine Wu in the past two days, and after inquiring clearly, my uncle will decide whether to go or not." ”

Chen Xihua didn't need Zhou Baolu's explanation to understand, so he nodded and said, "Well, okay." ”

Then he said: "Regarding Concubine Wu, did the prince give you the bottom?" ”

Uncle is amazing! Zhou Baolu felt that it was too easy to talk to someone like her uncle, she only said that she should pay attention to the Lin family and Concubine Wu, and her uncle immediately understood, she said: "Yes, the prince said, I think, if Lin Ge Lao and Wu Fang Concubine handed over the news, the palace would not have to worry, if Lin Ge Lao did not, it would be useless for you to go to see Lin Ge Lao." ”

"Good." Chen Xihua said: "What else did the prince say? ”

"The crown prince said that for the sake of the emperor, he decided to take a step back."

Chen Xihua pondered for a moment: "Then, King Cheng, I should also visit once." ”

King Cheng holds the power of the Supervision Department and has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, including Wang Jue, Chen Xihua, what is this for? Zhou Baolu is young and hasn't experienced much, but he relies on his intelligence and insight into people's hearts, and at this time, it is difficult to understand.

Chen Xihua said: "You can't ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to back down in vain. ”

Zhou Baolu understood.

"Anything else?" Zhou Baolu said: "I don't have any manpower and news channels, so I can only rely on my uncle, in addition to King Cheng, who else is my uncle going to visit?" ”

Chen Xihua showed a real smile, stretched out his hand to dip the tea, and wrote a few words on the table, it was just a few surnames, but if it could be written on this table, this surname would definitely not be someone else.

Zhou Baolu also smiled, and also stretched out her hand to write a thank you on the table, she said: "Don't go in person, just stare at it, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has news, eighty percent will come in and out here." ”

Probably? Chen Xihua was a little surprised: "Are you sure?" ”

Zhou Baolu said: "Of the three brothers in their family, only Xie Qi is serving in the East Palace, Xie is serving in front of the third master, and there is a second young man, but he is not serving in front of the second master, I heard Xie Qi complain, this second young man is playing horses and flowers, shopping for antiques and playing in the green building, the most squishy son in the imperial capital plays, he is playing, doing everything, but I have seen him speak twice in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, uncle and think about it." ”

"I see." Chen Xihua bowed: "I will arrange a group to keep an eye on Xie's family." ”

Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "When I find out His Royal Highness the Prince, I will come to Xie Lu and Uncle Xie again." ”

Chen Xihua smiled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own hardships, although your affairs are secret, but the scope of Zhilu Dao is not small, now I don't know how many people in Ludao are staring at you, no matter how much the prince calculates, I don't dare to hand you news easily." ”

Zhou Baolu comforted her uncle slowly: "Uncle don't worry, what I understand is that I have been very sad these days, and I have come to talk to my aunt today." ”

Zhou Baolu thought about it again: "Tomorrow I will go to see the eldest princess and inquire about the news." ”

Chen Xihua said: "It's okay, although there will be no news from the eldest princess, but if you don't go to the eldest princess's mansion for this gesture, it won't make sense." ”

"Yes." Zhou Baolu nodded: "If you enter the palace, it won't make sense, and if you don't go to the eldest princess's mansion, it won't make sense." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "The third master has also done a very good job, I didn't understand it before, but now I have to be taught by my uncle, and I mentioned the eldest princess, but I have thought it clearly, the words I said to my sister of the Wang family have probably reached some people." It's strange that the sister of the Wang family will pull me in the garden to say this that day. ”

After thinking about it, Zhou Baolu smiled: "It's the sister of the Wang family who can cry more than me." ”
