Chapter 252: Plan Ahead
Seeing this, Jin Su patted Bai Qian's shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, I'll be careful," After that, he turned around and walked to the bookcase, picked up the box just now and put it in Bai Qian's hand, and explained, "The contents of this box will be handed over to you for safekeeping first, and after we enter the palace tomorrow, you will go to Yi Xueju to stay." ”
Glancing at Bai Zhi, he continued in a serious tone, "If something happens to me and Bai Zhi, you will hand over the things to Qing Feng, and he knows what to do." ”
"Miss, what nonsense, I want to follow you all the time. Besides, it's better to leave such an important thing to my sister to do," said Bai Qian, and handed the box to Bai Zhi with tears in her eyes.
"Baiji~"
Bai Zhi and Jin Su called in unison.
The eagerness in Bai Zhi's eyes, Jin Su understood, bowed slightly at her, and turned to Bai Qian, "Bai Qi, I understand your intentions, but you still have injuries on your body, and it is inconvenient to enter the palace with me." Again, you are safe, and Bai Zhi and I will be at ease. ”
"But Miss----"
"Baiji!" Bai Zhi said sharply, seeing Bai Qi's aggrieved little eyes, she immediately said softly, "Obedient!" ”
Bai Qi pursed her lips, glared at Jinsu and Bai Zhi hatefully, stomped her feet extremely reluctantly, and then ran out with the box.
"Eh~" Bai Zhi called.
"Forget it, let her go."
"But what if ......"
"Don't worry, she knows what matters."
"Miss, don't get used to her so much......"
"It's okay, I know the measure, oh, by the way, is there any news of His Royal Highness?" Jinsu asked.
"No, I haven't contacted his housekeeper for a long time, and I still ran to the palace."
"Did you find anything?"
"No, it's business as usual. However, listening to the discussion of the people below, it seems that His Royal Highness has not been able to deliver grain and grass until now. ”
"What?" Jin Su was surprised, "It's been more than a month, why hasn't it been delivered yet?" The border war is tight, and grain and grass are the top priority, if the grain and grass are not in place, I am afraid that it will be a big deal. ”
"Yes, the housekeeper must have received the news a long time ago, so he left suddenly." Bai Zhi guessed.
Now that the news has not spread, it must be that the officials deliberately suppressed it, for fear of disturbing the morale of the army. But since the people in the Eighth Highness's Mansion are all talking, it means that it is not a day or two.
"Oh, the prince, what's been going on lately?" Jin Su asked coldly.
"Huh?" Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then stammered, "Too, prince, no, I don't know, our people are all hidden, and if you want to check now, I'm afraid it will take some effort." ”
Hiss~~
Jin Su rubbed her forehead, during this time, she stopped her secret spy errand in Kyoto City, causing a lot of news to be ill-informed, alas~~ Right now, she is like a deaf and blind person.
If Feng Yao fails to escort grain and grass, the border war will inevitably be tight, and once the war is defeated, it will be said to be dereliction of duty at best, and it will be a traitor to the enemy at worst.
"Miss, why don't I arrange it now?" Bai Zhi poked her head and asked.
"Hmm," Jin Su nodded absentmindedly, seeing Bai Zhi walking to the door, then he came back to his senses and stopped, "Wait! ”
"What else does the young lady command?" Bai Zhi walked back to her and asked.
beckoned, and when Bai Zhi came over, she ordered, "The secret agents in Kyoto are back to normal, but there is one thing, you must not go to the place where the intelligence is traded to obtain it!" ”
"Hmm." Bai Zhi nodded.
"Also, you go and arrange, all the inns along the way from outside Kyoto to the border pass will purchase grain according to the amount of two-year-old silver, and stock it up on the spot, waiting for my order."
"Miss, what do you want?"
"This matter of grain and grass must be inseparable from the East Palace. But at the moment, we must first solve the urgency of the shortage of grain and grass on the front line, so that it is possible to gain more time to deal with the East Palace. ”
"I know that the young lady wants to get some food for herself and send it to the front line to solve her urgent needs. But the inn's fanfare of grain storage is bound to attract the attention of the government, at that time, how to explain? Also, even if the inn can help with the food, how can we send it to the front line with so much food? Bai Zhi worried.
"Yes, you have a point. In this way, you first ask the people along the line to help find out the traces of His Royal Highness, uh----" After hesitating for a moment, Jin Su continued, "That's all, go!" ”
Bai Zhi replied "yes", turned around and ran out quickly.
After that, Jin Su also walked out, standing under the porch, looking at the big tree outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. If she could find the person who had been spying on her before, she would definitely be able to contact His Royal Highness the Eighth through him earlier.
It's a pity that I haven't been aware of that person's existence in the past few days, but the injuries he suffered that day have not yet recovered? Or is it that he has already taken the lead in being recalled by His Royal Highness? For some reason, her instinct always told her that the man didn't look like an ordinary dead soldier.
Alas~
Jin Su closed his eyes and took a long breath, the bright spring light shone on his face, obviously extremely warm, but in his heart, there was always a sense of oppression that a storm was coming.
At the same time, the Rosewood Temple is not very peaceful. The reason, of course, is because Mama Zhan came back intact, and she was the only one who came back.
As Jinsu speculated, the first thing Zhan Mama did when she came back was to provoke the relationship between Nuo Min and Jin Yan.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that she, a little tribal princess, would dare to calculate on my head! Hmph, I was so angry that I taught her how to please the oak at the beginning! Jin Yan said angrily.
"Isn't it? The slave maid felt strange that day, and gave the map of the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning, how could those assassins go the wrong way and come to the Agarwood Temple? Now think about it, the kidnapping of the slave and the Han woman means that the girl has planned it a long time ago, so that not only can the suspicion of assassinating the eldest lady be transferred to you, but also the lives of the slaves and maids can be threatened against you! Mama Zhan analyzed.
With a "snap", Jin Yan slapped heavily on the table, got up and scolded, "Hmph! Is it tolerable or unbearable, let's go, let's go to the palace now, I want to see, what is she capable of, even the people in the palace dare to move? ”
Mama Zhan confided in Jin Yan so many things, where did she have the courage to let the two of them confront each other, and immediately grabbed Jin Yan and persuaded, "Princess, you can dissipate your anger first." Now Mrs. Han is still in her hands, in case ......"
"What's the matter, can she still threaten this palace?" Jin Yan roared.
"No, no, princess, think about it, if she dares to let the slave and maid come back, she must have left her behind." As she spoke, Mama Zhan looked around, leaned sideways, and said softly, "When the slave maid was imprisoned, she asked about the young master's life experience, and the slave maid thought, could it be that Mrs. Han said that she had missed her mouth?" ”
"What? What does she want to do? Jin Yan became nervous.
"Don't panic, don't panic, when the slave came back, the princess said, so you don't have to bother to find her, when she hears the news of the eldest lady's death, she will let Han Pozi go!" Mama Zhan said softly.
Jin Yan glanced at Mama Zhan thoughtfully, then turned to the window with a sigh of relief, slightly hooked half of the corners of his mouth, and cold oozed from his eyes.
