Meng Xiaoran had been standing outside the door, and after hearing Doctor Lin's words, he was finally relieved, the old man of Tianji had already discovered her, and at this time he looked over, and he was naturally a little curious about his apprentice's sweetheart.

He really wanted to know what kind of girl Shen Qian could find without risking his life?

When he saw Meng Xiaoran, he understood in an instant, not only because of her appearance, but also because of her eyes, her eyes were tough and stubborn, but they were soft, he knew that such a woman would definitely not be bad, of course, he also believed in his apprentice's vision, and the girl he liked was naturally good.

"Xiao Ran, come and meet Shen Qian's master, the old man of Tianji." Chen Jingfeng followed the gaze of the old man Tianji and saw her, and immediately beckoned her in.

Meng Xiaoran nodded, walked in and saluted the old man of Tianji, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed slightly, "Senior Meng Xiaoran, I have seen the old man of Tianji." ”

The old man of Tianji looked at her, and when she got closer, she was even more graceful, not bad, Chen Jingfeng couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he saw him looking at Meng Xiaoran with the eyes of his future daughter-in-law, they only said that Shen Qian was in danger to find her, but they never said that Meng Xiaoran already belonged to him and was in love with others.

"Ahem, Xiao Ran, my master said that he might have a way to save Shen Qian, you don't have to worry." Chen Jingfeng sneered, Meng Xiaoran smiled, "I heard it outside the door just now, this is good news, I believe that with you and Doctor Lin here, he will be fine." ”

The old man Tianji looked at her from the side, and saw that she was also very concerned about her apprentice, and he was even more satisfied, in short, this girl was worthy of her apprentice no matter her appearance and bearing, and he was very happy.

In the dead of night, Meng Xiaoran couldn't sleep, and when he was tossing and turning, he suddenly heard a sound from the window, "knock knock", someone was knocking on the window.

Meng Xiaoran sat up from the bed, picked up his coat and put it on, and asked softly, "Who?"

"Miss Meng, it's me." It was Qingfeng's voice, Meng Xiaoran was relieved, she walked over and opened the window, and saw Qingfeng standing outside, the expression on her face was a little unnatural.

He handed over a brocade bag and said, "This is specially found by the child, I wanted to give it to you on the New Year's Day, and you don't want to give it to you later, take it now, maybe ...... It's also a memory. ”

Meng Xiaoran listened to his words, her heart was sour, she never could accept that Shen Qian's life would be in danger and would leave, after thinking for a long time, she still took the brocade bag, she remembered that it should be equipped with a handle mirror, which came from Fanbang, and it was still very novel in this era.

Qingfeng turned to leave, Meng Xiaoran wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say it, she looked down at the brocade bag in her hand, a little helpless.

Meng Xiaoran sat back at the table with the brocade bag, lit the oil lamp on the table with a fire fold, and then took out the handle mirror, the mirror surface is very clear, not comparable to these contemporary bronze mirrors.

Looking at the back of the mirror, it was inlaid with all kinds of gemstones, shining in the light, she knew that this mirror must be worth a lot of money, a person like Shen Qian, even a handle mirror was so luxurious, it was quite in line with his usual image.

Meng Xiaoran couldn't help but smile when she thought of this, thinking of his former appearance, she sighed, at this moment her inner feelings were very complicated, there was guilt and touch, but she knew in her heart that she had no other feelings for him, and they were impossible after all.

She put away the handle mirror, blew out the light, walked to the bed and lay down, put the brocade bag on the inside of the pillow and closed her eyes, and after a while she opened her eyes again, thinking that she had been in Yujing City for two days, but there had been no news of Dongfang Shuo.

When he left, he only said that he would come to her when the convoy arrived in Yujing City, and now she and Doctor Lin secretly left the convoy and rode back, it is said that the people over there will definitely send a letter to Dongfang Shuo, but why has he not heard from him for a long time?

At this time, Dongfang Shuo was discussing with everyone in the study, and Feng Yu, who was caught by Shen Qian, was also impressively listed, Feng Yu was quite delicate, and the only deficiency was that there was a black blue on the right eye, which was said to be a birthmark brought out of the mother's womb.

At this time, he was wearing a night suit, it looked like he should have come here late at night, Ye Chunqiu looked at him with satisfaction in his eyes, "You did a good job before, what is Dongfang Rui's attitude towards the Shen family now?" ”

Feng Yu stood up and saluted Dongfang Shuo and Ye Chunqiu, "My subordinates would like to thank the master and Uncle Ye for their rescue, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid that my strength alone would never be separated from the Shen family's secret prison." ”

Ye Chunqiu waved his hand, "The young master has always been generous to others, if you do things wholeheartedly, we will naturally protect you." ”

"Thank you, master!"

Dongfang Shuo nodded, "Let's tell me about Dongfang Rui's situation, how did he react after you went back some time ago?" ”

Feng Yu nodded, and explained the situation one by one, "After the master rescued his subordinates that day, the subordinates hid outside the city for a day according to the master's instructions, and on the second day, I changed my clothes and hurried back. ”

"I have been missing for a long time, and the Seventh Prince has been sending people to look for me, and when I went back that day, he was shocked to see that I was covered with injuries, and immediately asked me what happened?"

Feng Yu paused and said: "I told him according to the master's instructions in advance, at first, he didn't believe it, but his subordinates have been with him since he was a child, and he trusts me quite a lot, so he sent someone to investigate, and finally believed that Shen Qian had different intentions for him."

"During these days, in addition to arranging things in the palace, the Seventh Prince has been thinking about how to deal with the Shen family, but after all, the things in the palace are more important, so he has not made a move on the Shen family for a long time, and he also has a layer of concerns, I am afraid that if the Shen family moves now, it will affect his accession to the throne."

Dongfang Shuo nodded after listening to him, "Very good, you did a good job, you go back first, continue to work by Dongfang Rui's side, you don't have to come here often, if there is something, I will inform you to come over, be careful, don't be found out of the ordinary." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

After Feng Yu left, Ye Chunqiu said to Dongfang Shuo with a smile: "Young Master, now there are our people in ambush everywhere in the Great Shang Country, and the troops on the front line of the frontier are also our people, and now only Zhang Zhengbai, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, is left, but now he also has a handle in our hands, I don't believe that old thing will not agree."

Dongfang Shuo sighed when he heard this, "Commander Zhang is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and has always been loyal to the imperial court, when Dongfang Yimou usurped the throne, he was also very dissatisfied, but helplessly my father died on the frontier, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only suppress it, loyalty to the imperial court is the belief in his heart, he is a loyal minister, I don't want to threaten him now, since he doesn't agree, then I'll take a trip, he is afraid that he will believe my identity when he sees me." ”

Ye Chunqiu frowned when he heard this, and immediately spoke to stop him, "Young master, don't!" You have a special identity, don't take risks, although that Zhang Zhengbai was loyal to the emperor back then, but who knows if he has any different intentions now, if he is not good for the young master, how can it be good? At that time, we can only get rid of him, but after that, we have to find a way to hold the new commander of the Royal Forest Army, isn't this a trivial matter? ”

Dongfang Shuo shook his head, "Uncle Ye, I believe in Commander Zhang's character, I have seen him when I was a child, he is loyal and resolute, upright, and the queen mother also told me that Zhang Zhengbai is one of the people who can be trusted in the court, and I believe that he will definitely promise to help me recapture the country." ”

Ye Chunqiu didn't speak anymore when he heard this, he knew that once Dongfang Shuo decided, he couldn't change it.

Late at night on the second day, Zhang Zhengbai, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was about to go back from the study, when he suddenly heard a noise outside, and he immediately shouted, "What person?!" ”

In the dark, two people walked out, one of the middle-aged men had already seen it a few days ago, Zhang Zhengbai frowned, "It's you?" Why are you here again? Didn't I already say it, I won't promise you! If you continue to pester, the old man will report to the court tomorrow, and let the whole city want you who intend to rebel! ”

Ye Chunqiu's face changed when he heard this, and he was about to speak but was stopped by Dongfang Shuo, who looked at Zhang Zhengbai and smiled and said, "Commander Zhang, it's better to go in and talk."

Zhang Zhengbai looked in his direction at this time, and was stunned for a moment when he saw his face, and he didn't wonder that he would be like this, because Dongfang Shuo's appearance was like the deceased queen of the previous dynasty.

When he was stunned, Dongfang Shuo and Ye Chunqiu walked into the study, Zhang Zhengbai closed the window and turned to look at them, but at this moment, Dongfang Shuo obviously felt that its resistance was not so great.

"Uncle Ye has looked for Commander Zhang before, but you didn't report this matter to the court, I think there are two reasons, one is because at this time there is a miasma in the court, and the government is controlled by the Seven Princes, and the other is because Uncle Ye mentioned our identity, although you don't believe it, but you don't want to hurt us, I don't know if I'm right?" Dongfang Shuo looked at Zhang Zhengbai with a smile in his eyes, he looked like the queen of the year.

Zhang Zhengbai shook his head in disbelief, "You...... You're ......."

Dongfang Shuo saw his appearance and knew that he had already believed half of it, so he took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it over, "This is what was given to me when the queen mother sent me away, I don't know if Commander Zhang recognizes it?" ”

Zhang Zhengbai took the jade pendant, his face changed, this jade pendant is the phoenix pattern pendant that symbolizes the identity of the queen, the queen was tied around her waist every day, he naturally saw it.

At this time, he was already fully convinced that the young man standing in front of him was the prince who was "burned" in the fire.

"The old minister participates in His Royal Highness the Prince! It was the old minister who was useless, and it was too late to save the car back then, so the queen mother ......"

Dongfang Shuo's heart warmed, and he immediately stepped forward to hold up Zhang Zhengbai, "Commander Zhang, you don't have to blame yourself, the situation was urgent, and the queen mother secretly sent me out of the secret passage in the palace after getting the news in advance, and Commander Zhang is afraid that he can't help himself." ”

Zhang Zhengbai wiped the tears in his eyes, and then looked at Dongfang Shuo, "His Royal Highness the Prince, now you really want to ......"

Dongfang Shuo understood what he was asking, nodded, and took two steps back and knelt on one knee, "I also hope that Commander Zhang will help you and help Shuo'er recapture the country!" ”

Zhang Zhengbai was shocked when he saw this, and immediately stepped forward to support Dongfang Shuo's body, and couldn't stop saying: "Never, never, the prince, you are torturing the old minister......"
