Chapter 442: Inevitable Disaster
This night, Zhou Qingwu undoubtedly stayed in Zhang Ruolan's Qinyang Palace, and did not go to Changchun Palace to stay overnight.
Between the two lovers, Zhou Qingwu stroked Zhang Ruolan's hair, but suddenly said without a beginning or an end: "There was a sudden fire in the Protector's Mansion last night, but fortunately, it has been extinguished." ”
Zhang Ruolan's heart moved slightly when she heard this, but she pretended to be surprised and asked, "On fire?" The concubine's father, is he injured? ”
Zhou Qingwu shook his head and said to Zhang Ruolan: "The Protector is fine, but I heard that some important things have been lost in the house, and the Protector has sent people everywhere to look for it!" ”
Zhang Ruolan looked at Zhou Qingwu with some confusion and asked, "What is it?" ”
Zhou Qingwu shook his head, "I don't know, it's just that when I was in the court this morning, the Lord Protector asked for leave to deal with this matter in the palace." ”
Zhang Ruolan responded: "It's okay if people are fine, what's the matter, the concubine's father is really old." ”
As she spoke, Zhang Ruolan yawned and seemed to be sleepy.
Zhou Qingwu patted her on the back and said to Zhang Ruolan: "Concubine Ai is tired, go to sleep!" ”
Zhang Ruolan nodded slightly and closed her eyes.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, Zhou Qingwu's words suddenly came from above her head: "Recently, someone in the court impeached your father, what do you say I should do?" ”
Zhang Ruolan's heart trembled, and she didn't dare to answer, so she could only pretend to be asleep and didn't speak.
It seems that Zhou Qingwu is preparing to move his father.
What he said today touched Zhou Qingwu a little, but according to Zhou Qingwu's character, I am afraid that there will not be too much love for himself in the future.
Leaving himself must be because Zhou Qingwu wanted to squeeze something out of himself, as if he was using Concubine Ruo to bring down Feng Xuefeng, and he also asked himself to bring down his father Zhang Quan!
This abacus is good, but it also happens to fall into Zhang Ruolan's hands.
As long as he brings down his father, whether this favor is or not is not important to Zhang Ruolan.
When she woke up the next morning, Zhang Ruolan sent Zhou Qingwu to the morning court, and after Zhou Qingwu left, she returned to the dormitory with Huanyu.
"Go and get the pear blossom carved wooden box from before the main palace." Zhang Ruolan looked at Huanyu and said, "Now, it's time to use it." ”
Huanyu was stunned, in this Qinyang Palace, only she and Zhang Ruolan knew what was in the box.
It's just that she didn't expect that the box would be used now, Huanyu sighed in her heart, she originally hoped that Zhang Ruolan would never remember the box.
"Why don't you go soon?" Zhang Ruolan saw that she was standing still with a gloomy look on her face, so she urged again: "What are you doing there?" ”
Huanyu heard the answer and immediately went to get it.
Not long after, Huanyu came to Zhang Ruolan with a box in both hands, saluted her and said, "Niangniang, the slave maid brought the box to you." ”
Zhang Ruolan nodded, took the box, wiped off the layer of ash on it with a handkerchief, and came to the table to sit.
What is placed here is the evidence of his father's bribery that he collected before entering the palace, as well as an account book and some things collected after Zhang Ruolan colluded with the Lin family after entering the palace.
As long as these are handed over to Zhou Qingwu, plus the help of the people of the previous dynasty, then his father is a great ability, and he will not be able to escape this catastrophe.
"When is Niangniang going to send it to Your Majesty?" Huanyu watched Zhang Ruolan sort out the things in the box, and suddenly asked.
Zhang Ruolan thought for a while, and said to Huanyu: "It's just a few days, when the impeachment of the previous dynasty is almost over, the palace will send it again, you listen to the news." ”
Huanyu replied and said, "Yes, the slave knows." ”
And at this moment, in the Protector's Mansion, in the fire last night, Zhang Quan had already found that his letter with Bai Fanghua was lost.
Don't think about it, this must be Luo Chuanzhou's doing.
Zhang Quan sat down at the table with a calm face, looked at the guard in front of him and asked, "Can you find Luo Chuanzhou's whereabouts?" ”
The guard lowered his head and said, "Luo Chuanzhou didn't leave the capital, he just went there, and his subordinates haven't found it yet." Please forgive me! ”
Zhang Quan looked impatiently at the guard and scolded a word of waste, but the guard didn't dare to say more, so he could only say, "My lord, I'm angry." ”
"Let's go down!" Zhang Quan waved his hand, "Keep checking!" I don't believe that Luo Chuan Zhou can disappear directly. ”
"The subordinates retired." When the guard had said this, he bowed and withdrew.
Not long after he left, a man knocked on the door of Zhang Quan's study.
After getting Zhang Quan's permission, the man entered the door, and his face was already a little anxious.
"My lord, didn't you go to the morning court today?" After the man saluted, he said to Zhang Quan with an anxious expression.
Zhang Quan looked at the man's appearance and asked with some puzzlement, "Yes." What's going on to make you so flustered? ”
The man said to Zhang Quan in a deep voice: "Your Excellency did not go to court today, Lord Li, Lord Wang, and Lord Zhang and others have already played together to participate in the adult's book, although Your Majesty did not say anything, but his face was very unsightly. ”
Just now, someone came to the house to report, and after hearing the news, he immediately came to Zhang Quan.
These people have some weight in Zhou Qingwu, and they impeach Zhang Quan together at this moment, even if Zhang Quan is the protector of this Li country, I am afraid that this time I will not be able to avoid this difficulty.
Zhang Quan was suddenly startled when he heard this, he stood up and looked at the man and asked, "What did you say?" Say it again! ”
These people actually joined together to impeach him?
"It's better for adults to plan ahead." The man sighed, he had been in frequent accidents recently, but he didn't expect that after the letter of contact with Bai Fanghua was lost, he would be impeached at this time.
Zhang Quan slowly sat on the chair and waved his hand to the man in a distracted manner, "You go down first!" I have a decision. ”
When the man saw the sadness on Zhang Quan's face, he didn't say anything, and bowed and retreated.
"How did it come to this?" Zhang Quan couldn't help but mutter, there have been accidents one after another in the past few days, which made him a little overwhelmed.
Some of the officials that the man said just now were Qian Baihan's comrades.
It seems that Qian Baihan knows something, so he is unwilling to wait, and is ready to completely bring himself down.
Zhang Quan clenched his fingers, Qian Baihan, even if Zhou Qingwu wanted to punish himself, the protector of the country, he would have to tell Qian Baihan to die in front of him before this.
Thinking of this, Zhang Quan immediately called a few guards, gave a few words, and then asked the guards to leave.
