But isn't that a matter of course?

Yun Jinshu pursed the corners of his lips and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, I have my own plans later." ”

Chu Yuewan was inexplicably a little guilty, but she couldn't help but say goodbye and get into the car calmly.

Yun Jinshu watched her car go away and let out a long sigh.

…… Since he has already come to the capital, of course he can't go back to the palace immediately.

In the evening of the first month, I inquired about Jing Qi's current residence, and knew that after the dismissal of the official, he exchanged a shop in the West Market to do small business, called Jing Ji Soup and Cake Shop.

Chu Yue got out of the car quite far away, and Ying Shun walked to the front of the shop, and saw that there was no Jing Qi inside, only one woman was making soup, and asked, it was Jing Qi's wife, and now Jing Qi went out to buy condiments and has not come back.

Isn't this just the right time to eat and take a break?

So the two ordered two bowls of soup cakes and waited while eating.

Within a quarter of an hour, the proprietress was heard calling the head of the shop outside.

Chu Yue had already finished eating a big bowl in the evening, and the soup was full, so he almost licked the bowl, and when he looked up, he saw that the person was the burly Jing Qi.

"Lord Jing!" Chu Yuewan shouted.

Seeing that she was stunned for a moment, Jing Qi hurriedly wiped her sweat, and knelt down on the spot to salute: "Your Royal Highness Princess!" His wife was so frightened that she almost dropped the bowl on the ground, and Chu Yuewan hurriedly asked him to get up: "Don't don't, I'm going on a micro-service, don't be too loud!" Jing Qi got up: "What is the important matter of Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Talking inside? Chu Yuewan nodded in agreement, Jing Qi took her and Ying Shun into the back kitchen into the courtyard, Jing Qi's wife pretended that nothing had happened, and took care of the façade as usual.

Jing Qi set up the horse in the courtyard and asked him to sit in the evening of the first month.

"I don't have anything I can get my hands on here."

Jing Qi was ashamed.

"Why is Lord Jing so frugal now?" Chu Yuewan felt that this place was too simple.

"Alas," Jing Qi said, "I didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were in those years, and it cost a lot of admission fees to go to the Chongwu Pavilion, and the savings I saved were not much, and the maintenance of the mansion was too expensive, so I sold it, and spent a lot on a few brothers to marry each other, and the rest was barely enough to pay for this shop, which is also a good place." ”

Chu Yuewan nodded.

Because of the relationship between her father and the emperor, she and Jing Qi were familiar with each other in their previous lives, so it was much easier to talk.

"I came to find Lord Jing today, there is a little matter."

She said.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"That Qiu Zhonglang, who replaced Lord Jing, have you ever understood how he met the imperial brother?" Jing Qi's complexion immediately became grim.

"This ...... Jing didn't know. ”

Jing Qi said, "When I saw him, it was already after the new emperor ascended the throne. ”

The early moon was a little worried.

If Qiu Ming really met with the imperial brother behind his back in private, then it would be difficult to find the source when they met and cooperated for anything.

"Even if Lord Jing no longer serves as the general of the Tiger Ben, he should not be dismissed directly."

Chu Yuewan turned to talk about him.

"The Sacred Heart has its own judgment."

Jing Qi said.

"Do you have any festivals between the imperial brother and Lord Jing?" Chu Yuewan asked.

Jing Qi didn't dare to answer.

Chu Yuewan swore to the sky that she would not tell Chu Yongwang, Jing Qi shook her head: "It's not that Jing can't trust Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's just that Jing doesn't know where to offend the emperor."

But what can be known is that the emperor has dismissed most of the officials of the previous emperor, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Jing feels that there is nothing wrong. ”

Removed most of the emperor's officials? Chu Yuewan felt that things were becoming clearer and clearer, but at the same time, she felt that the road ahead was getting bleaker and gloer.

"Then may I ask Lord Jing, when the imperial brother was still the crown prince, what was the relationship with his father?" The first moon asked in the evening.

As the emperor's close attendant, Jing Qi should know more or less about this.

Jing Qi recalled and said, "The first emperor was very strict with the emperor. ”

Chu Yuewan heard that he didn't say anything more, and then asked: "What does the accident in Prince Su's Mansion have to do with the imperial brother?" Jing Qi looked at her in surprise.

"I don't force Lord Jing to tell me something that might threaten my family's life."

Chu Yue said, "It's still up to Lord Jing to decide, but no matter what Lord Jing says, I will do my best to protect you and your family." ”

Jing Qi hesitated.

"Your Highness."

He said, "Have you heard of the case of the first emperor taking the heir when he was alive? Chu Yuewan was stunned.

I don't know, I don't know at all.

The harem she was in was peaceful and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

"Actually, it has never been uncommon for princes to compete for the throne."

Jing Qi said, "When you were thirteen years old, Prince Su and the current saint completely tore their faces, and the emperor was almost removed from the crown prince because of a major event.

At this moment, Prince Su took advantage of the situation and intended to become the crown prince, but he thought he was in power, he was too arrogant, and the behavior of assembling a private party was alerted by the first emperor, so he ordered to be killed. ”

Chu Yuewan was stunned for a long time before asking, "What's the big deal?" Want to abolish the prince? Jing Qi was silent for a long time.

He looked at Ying Shun.

"Ying Shun is my ......," Chu Yuewan hurriedly said.

"Nope."

Jing Qi said, "If Your Highness wants to hear what Jing said, you can't trust anyone. ”

Chu Yuewan nodded towards Ying Shun, who immediately and sensibly withdrew from the courtyard.

Jing Qi continued to lower his already low voice: "Jing's guess is not substantiated. ”

"Please."

The early moon is late.

Jing Qi: "That incident is probably related to the Qiu family." ”

Chu Yuewan: "Is it something that the emperor's brother and Qiu Ming know, is it known by the emperor?" Jing Yi shook his head: "I don't know about this, the first emperor was often claustrophobic in the palace to 'cultivate' during that time, and the communication with the emperor was not known to others, so ...... I'm also not qualified to get into the details. ”

Chu Yuewan pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you, Lord Jing, your words today have been of great help to me. ”

She said goodbye to Jing Qi, and gave the other party a sign when she left, so that if he had anything to do, even if he took this to the princess's mansion, someone would explain it to him.

"Madame's soup cake is very appetizing."

Chu Yuewan said, "I often come to take care of Lord Jing's business when I have time, I don't know if it will be too disturbing." ”

"It's okay, even if Your Highness comes, Jing is very comforted to see the old man."

Jing Qi said, sending her to the street.

When I went back to the shop, I was about to have a curfew, Jing Qi helped his wife close the stall, and suddenly felt that someone was behind him.

The other party came quietly, and deliberately made some movement for him to notice.

Jing Qi immediately put down what he was doing, and when he looked back, Yun Jinshu smiled and beckoned to him.

"Lord Yun."

Jing Qi bowed.

"You're welcome."

Yun Jinshu sat down cross-legged on the bench he had confiscated and motioned for a "please".

"Presumably you are here for Her Royal Highness the Princess today."

Jing Qi sat on the other end of the bench.

"What did the princess say?" Yun Jinshu asked, "Don't worry, the princess wants to protect the people, I will definitely not do it."

What's more, you and I are also old acquaintances. ”

"The princess asked the emperor about it."

Jing Qi said.

"Your Majesty?" "Exactly, and Qiu Zhonglang."

Yun Jinshu pondered with a crutched face.

He knew almost all those things about Chu Yongwang, and even if he didn't let Jing Qi tell them one by one, he basically guessed the roughly.

first bought Prince Su's Mansion, and then checked the assassination of the secret arrow in the ice lake back then, and later went to investigate the Jingjun Palace, Yu Fang Bracelet, and Nangong Miao.

Now, Qiu Ming finally asked.

But what's the point of knowing these things that have passed? Nothing will change.

"Lord Yun came out so late, can you have dinner?" Jing Qi called him back from his contemplation.

"Not yet."

Yun Jinshu smiled bitterly, "I happen to be hungry for your family's soup cakes, I wonder if my sister-in-law has time to reward me again?" Jing Qi and he looked at each other and smiled.

…… Inside the Imperial Palace, the Jiaofang Palace.

Chu Yuewan lay on the bed and smoothed out all the things that happened in this dream.

As soon as she returned to the palace, she went to report to the imperial brother and asked about some bath bracelets, and asked Nangong Miao to be taken out of the prison and led the way to find the person to be "handed over".

At that time, Chu Yongwang's answer was very intriguing, he said: "Yuning, aren't you worried, he asked to be sent out by himself, does it mean that if other people who want to get it, or that 'recipient' knows, he will kill him in advance?" Chu Yuewan had no choice but to shake his head.

Chu Yongwang promised her that she would let Dali Temple take good care of it, and it was feasible to bring it up, but it must be bolted up and not run away, and nothing else was explained.

After coming back, Chu Yuewan thought a lot, maybe the person who took the bracelet didn't want others to know that Nangong Miao was going to hand over the bracelet to him.
