After Aunt Wu was taken out by Cai Hun , Xiao Xun turned her gaze, looked at the ministers again, raised her eyebrows, and ordered in a cold voice, "Inform Zhang Jiu, put aside the affairs in the palace for the time being, and investigate the poisoning of the crown princess first." ”

"Yes, prince," the minister received the order and was about to leave, but Xiao Xun stopped him again, tapped the three pieces of evidence on the table with his chin, and said, "Give these to him too." ”

Laichen took two more steps back, picked up the tray containing the evidence, and then retreated outward.

The door to the study was opened from the inside and closed again.

In some dim spaces, Xiao Xun held his forehead with one hand, leaned on the Taishi chair, and pressed his eyebrows hard, he recalled the situation when he first heard that Lu Nianjin was poisoned today, and the ventricles could not be calmed down until now.

It was a strange feeling, like suddenly coming to a new world, and the world he had known before had been turned upside down.

The moment he learned that she had been poisoned, he had only one thought in his heart, that is, to keep her alive! If she can't survive, even if he overturns the world, he will kill all the people who killed her and bury her with her.

In the half hour from the political hall to Luo Shen Yuan, his heart was unprecedentedly frightened and panicked, and in a short period of time, he almost thought about everything before and after her death......

He breathed a sigh of relief and rushed back desperately, just afraid that he wouldn't see her for the last time.

That state of mind was too shocking, too absurd, he had never had it before, and he would never have it in the future. It is also because of this that when he sees that she is safe and sound, he will be so angry and lose his temper.

He was extremely afraid of being separated from her, but he was unwilling to be tricked by her, and allowed himself to put himself in an extremely contemptuous position.

After all, two people, in terms of private courtesy, he is the husband, she is the wife, and she is the only one who is attached to please him; In terms of national etiquette, he is the crown prince, she is the crown princess, and she has to look at his face.

In his opinion, the two get along like this, and it is serious, not like today, he values her to the bone, but she is just indifferent to him.

He asked, the dignified prince, even if the two are happy, the other party has to be emotional first!

Thinking like this, his heart became even more irritable.

Both of them have children, when will she be happy with him.

At this point, the two of them have a twist in their hearts that the other does not know, and at the same time, because of their anger, they have not looked for anyone for the rest of the day.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

On this day, Lu Nianjin was still nesting in the bedroom, not going out, just teasing Ji'er from time to time, and then playing chess with Yun Jiang and playing a double land, although the life was dull, but it was very quiet.

After a game of chess, she instructed Yun Jiang to pack up the chess score, and planned to go to the west to see Ji'er, but before she got up, Yun Shu walked in from outside, and Fu Shen said, "Princess, Mrs. Wan brought a pair of children to visit the sick, but do you want her to come in?" ”

Lu Nianjin was quite trustworthy to Zhang's family, thinking that the weather outside was very hot, and she was born prematurely and had weak roots, so she relieved herself, nodded and said, "Please let her in." ”

"Yes, Crown Princess!" Yun Shu was ordered to leave.

Before she went out, Ah Yuan came in again, and the two of them just met, Lu Nianjin looked at Ah Yuan and asked, "Why did you come in with Yun Shu on the front and back, but someone outside came to visit the patient?" ”

Ah Yuanfu's body, with a palm-sized little face, with a calmness that does not belong to her age, said, "If you go back to the crown princess, it is the Miss Jiang family who came last time." ”

"Jiang Rongyue?" Lu Nianjin asked rhetorically.

Ah Yuan confessed.

At this time, Lu Nianjin was embarrassed, if she asked people to invite Zhang's mother and son in, then she had to invite Jiang Rongyue in.

But now because of Xiao Xun's suggestion, she is unwilling to get too close to Jiang Rongyue.

Thinking like this, it was very difficult for a while.

Yun Jiang looked at the master's embarrassment in her eyes, she was used to accompanying her, and she probably understood her thoughts, so she persuaded her, "It's just a cousin girl in the Jiang family who is not valued by the prince, master, you really don't need to be embarrassed, you are the crown princess, what you want to do is according to your own heart, no one dares to blame you." ”

Lu Nianjin heard Yun Jiang say this, thought about it, and said, "If you are here, please come in, but on the grounds that I want to recuperate, don't let them in, and let the people below serve you well, don't slack off." ”

"Yes, Crown Princess." Yun Shu agreed and retreated.

Yun Jiang looked at Lu Nianjin and smiled after Yun Shu and Ah Yuan left, "The crown princess is really a very kind person. ”

Lu Nianjin smiled, "It's just that a woman should be embarrassed by a woman." ”

At this time, Yun Shu went out to spread the word, and it didn't take long for Jiang Rongyue and Zhang's mother and son to be brought in.

Zhang's mother's family and her husband's family are both in business, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she is also quite good at it, and her eloquence is very good.

However, when she came all the way from the door, when she arrived at Luoshen Garden, she had already talked to Jiang Rongyue.

After Jiang Rongyue heard the origin of the Zhang family, and knew that her pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses were delivered by Lu Nianjin personally, her mind moved, she took off a pair of Pisces jade pendants from her waist, handed them to the Zhang family, and said, "The first time we meet, this is my heart for Ping'er and An'er, just take it as an ordinary meeting gift, and I hope that Mrs. will not refuse." ”

Zhang's long-sleeved and good dancing, eight-sided exquisite, in front of the people of the National Teacher's Mansion, naturally she would not refuse their family's Miss Cousin, she accepted the Pisces jade pendant with a smile, and thanked Jiang Rongyue on behalf of the two children.

While talking, the two had already arrived at the door of Luo Shen Yuan.

Yun Shu and Ah Yuan directly invited the two to the flower hall.

In the flower hall, the two sat down separately, Yun Shu instructed the subordinates to bring roses over, and at the same time was polite to the two of them, and said with a smile, "The princess has passed the toxin, and now her body is weak, she can only recuperate, and it is inconvenient to see people, but she can't bear to run in vain against the sun, so she specially ordered the slave maid to invite the two of you in, so as to rest and cool, so as not to suffer from heat stroke." ”

When Zhang and Jiang Rongyue heard Yun Shu say this, they immediately opened their mouths to thank Lu Nianjin for his benevolence.

Hearing this, Yun Shu just nodded politely.

Then another maid came with milk.

Seeing this, Yun Shu immediately turned to Zhang's Dao, "The little prince and the little lady of the Zunfu have been in the carriage for so long, they should be hungry, this is the milk that the prince of the little county uses on weekdays, it is the imperial kitchen that the prince specially asked from the palace, and it is cooked with a secret recipe, it is very sweet, if the lady doesn't mind, you might as well let the little prince and the little lady try it." ”

As soon as Zhang heard this, she knew that it was Lu Nianjin who had explained, and a warm current surged in her heart, nodded at Yun Shu, and then hugged the two children in turn and fed them milk in person.

The milk is a little hot, but not hot, it is estimated that it is dried in advance, and Zhang's does not need to blow it cold, just feed it directly to the two children.

Chef Zhang's recipe is really good, this milk is delicious, and Ping'er and An'er, who are used to drinking breast milk, have never rejected it.

When Zhang saw it, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.

She has now started a business for the livelihood of the mother and son in the future, and sometimes she is so busy that she can't breastfeed Ping'an on time.

She often has to inform her family in advance so that they can take her to her store safely.

But even so, every time I fed the milk, it was still in a hurry. It's also hard to be safe and bumpy.

Right now, looking at the two children drinking milk with a sweet face, she thought that no matter how valuable Zhang Yuchef's recipe was, she would have to find a way to buy it, so that Ping'an could stay in the house and eat peacefully......

Jiang Rongyue always sat quietly on the side.

If she said that at the beginning, she didn't have any ideas, but it was inconvenient for Lu Nianjin to meet people, so she asked her subordinates to entertain them.

But later, after seeing Yun Shu and the others' enthusiasm for the Zhang family and her pair of children, she couldn't see that she was the one who piggybacked at all.

She even suspected that if she hadn't come with the Zhang family, she was afraid that the people from the National Teacher's Mansion would not let her in.

Thinking like this, the slightly curvature of her lips suddenly stiffened, and the hands under her big sleeves were clenched tightly.

Ping Ping'an was young in the end, and after drinking cow's milk, he dozed off.

Yun Shu glanced at the two children in Zhang's arms, and was about to propose to take the two children to Nuange for a nap, but who knows, at this time, Jiang Rongyue took the first step and said, "Mrs. Wan, since it is inconvenient for my cousin-in-law to see us, then let's go back early, you see, Ping'er and An'er are sleepy, and after they go back, they should rest early." ”

"That's fine." Through the micro-expression on Jiang Rongyue's face, Zhang Shi realized her thoughts, it was still the same sentence, she didn't want to embarrass her for the sake of Lu Nianjin and the prince, so she simply followed her and got up to say goodbye to Yun Shu.

Yun Shu looked at Ping'an, who was already asleep in Zhang's arms, and proposed, "Or, let's wait for the little boy and the little lady to wake up, and then the lady will leave!" ”

Mrs. Zhang shook her head gently, looked at Jiang Rongyue, and smiled slightly, some meaningful, and some meaningful, "No, Miss Lao thanked the princess for me, and said that I came with Miss Jiang today, so it is inconvenient to leave her and come to visit the princess another day." ”

"Since Madame has made up her mind, the slave maid asked her to hold an umbrella and send you and Miss Jiang out." As she spoke, she told the little maid to take the umbrella.

Zhang nodded politely at Yunshu, and the group walked out together.

Yun Shu sent the two of them to the National Teacher's Mansion, watched them get into the carriage, and then took people back to Luoshen Garden.

Back at Luoshen Garden, as soon as she entered the bedroom, Lu Nianjin raised her head and asked, "People are gone?" ”

Yun Shu nodded, and then told Lu Nianjin in detail what happened in the flower hall, and after Lu Nianjin listened, he didn't say anything, just sighed imperceptibly.

"By the way, Crown Princess, this is a gift list from Mrs. Wan and Miss Jiang." Yun Shu said, took out two more gift slips from her sleeve and presented them to Lu Nianjin.

After Lu Nianjin took it, she only glanced at it, and she saw some clues, what the Zhang family gave her were all good medicinal materials for detoxification, and there were also some things for babies, and Jiang Rongyue gave some delicate gadgets.

It's clear who cares and who doesn't.

"Put them all away, and when I get better, I'll give them a gift in return," she handed the gift slip back to Yun Shu and said lightly.

Yun Shu took the gift list, put it away, paused for a moment, and talked about what the Zhang family seemed to like very much about the milk cooked by Zhang Yuchu.

Lu Nianjin listened to it and said lightly, "Since you like it, then send her a copy of the recipe I gave to Zhang Yuchu." ，”

When Yun Shu heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised, "Why is the crown princess so good to Mrs. Zhang?" ”

Lu Nianjin smiled, "She is very dignified, and I personally delivered Ping'er and An'er, so it's inevitable that I will care a little more!" ”

Yun Shu understood, blessed, and said, "Then the slave will send Fang Zi to Wanfu when she turns around." ”

"No," Lu Nianjin waved his hand and reminded her, "Although Mrs. Wan has the name of Mrs. Wan, she has actually separated from Wan Daguan for a long time, and she now lives in Zhang's house in Guizi Lane, and you will send the milk recipe there." ”

"Yes, the crown princess, the slave has written it down." Yun Shu agreed, and when she turned around, she asked someone to send the recipe to Zhang.

What she didn't know was that Jiang Rongyue had installed eyeliner near Zhang's house since she returned home.

After seeing the people from the National Teacher's Mansion enter Zhang's house, a Mai boy turned around and reported the news to Jiang Rongyue's ears of the Jiang family.

When the little girl replied to the news, Jiang Rongyue was practicing calligraphy in the study. After listening to the little girl's report, her wrist was slammed, and the next moment, a drop of thick ink fell on the snow-white paper, and a large character was ruined.

"Miss?" The maid beside her saw that her face was not good, and she was a little stunned, and hurriedly reminded her.

Jiang Rongyue came back to her senses at this time, she glanced at the little guy who was kneeling on the ground, took down a gold bracelet from her wrist without any inscription, threw it to the little maid and said, "Stand down." ”

"Miss Xie Wu rewarded, and the slave retired." The little servant took the bracelet and stepped back.

In the study, after the little servant left, Jiang Rongyue's face showed a touch of unconvinced, and she slammed the brush in her hand on the table, letting the ink infect.

"Why! What am I not as good as the abandoned woman of the Zhang business, why is my cousin-in-law so good to her, but so cold to me, obviously I am her cousin! ”

The anger on her face was too deep.

This made it impossible for the maid next to her to pretend that she didn't see it.

Han Xue sighed slightly, looked at her young lady and said, "Miss, isn't it enough to have the queen on your side, why do you have to curry favor with the crown princess?" ”

After all, according to the route planned by the old lady for the young lady, the young lady will always be the enemy of the crown princess in the future. In that case, what difference does it make if you take a step earlier and a step later?

Hanxue didn't know that the prince was about to enter Beijing, so she thought so.

But Jiang Rongyue knew it, she looked at the personal maid with a sad face, and said, "You don't understand, I must please the crown princess during this time, otherwise the rest of my life will be ruined!" ”

"Miss is the queen's favorite niece, and she is the dignified county lord, who dares to ruin you?" Han Xue asked rhetorically.

Jiang Rongyue couldn't, so she had to tell the prince and the envoys about the upcoming matter, and then said, "If you want to make peace with the pro-Japanese country, then the emperor will definitely choose one between me and Princess Huyang, and the emperor is the biological father of Princess Huyang, who do you think he will choose in marrying relatives?" ”

When Han Xue heard her master say this, her whole face changed color, and she muttered, "Of course it is...... You've got you! ”

"So, in order not to get along with the country, I have to let the crown princess be on my side, my aunt has now fallen out of favor, and only if my cousin and sister-in-law are on my side, I have a slight chance of winning."

"What Miss said is, in this case, this matter should be considered in the long run!" Han Xue said seriously.

Jiang Rongyue nodded, she had already made up her mind, no matter what Lu Nianjin's attitude towards her was now, she would hug her thighs to death.

As long as she can not go to the country and relatives, she is willing to pay anything.

Of course, her determination, Lu Nianjin of the National Teacher's Mansion did not know.

At this time, she was still waiting for Xiao Xun to find out the person who threatened Aunt Wu.

I don't know if there was a misunderstanding in the middle, or if the person was hiding too deeply, seeing that the prince was about to enter Beijing, the mastermind behind the scenes still didn't show his clues.

With the extension of time, not only Lu Nianjin was flustered, but in the dungeon, Aunt Wu couldn't swallow it, she was now full of satisfaction that she was her former little master, and that child was only nine years old!

She accompanied him for five years, single-handedly feeding him from the age of four to the current age, in her heart, that child has long been her relative.

Crash!

Suddenly, there was a sound of chains shaking outside.

When Aunt Wu heard this, she subconsciously stood up and rushed out.

After seeing Cai Hun's figure, she immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Lord Cai, how is it, the mastermind behind the scenes has been caught, what about my little master, is he, how is he?" ”

Cai Hun looked at Aunt Wu, shook his head with some pity, and said, "Not yet!" ”

Aunt Wu listened to Cai Hun's words, and instantly like a frosted eggplant, she suddenly paused, she stepped back, sat down on the stone bench, and muttered, "How can this be, how can this be...... Could it be that even the crown prince can't find out that person's whereabouts and save my little master......"

Cai Xun didn't know how to respond to her words, and he couldn't comfort people, so he could only say dryly, "If you give the prince a few more days, he will always find other clues, find out who is behind the scenes, and bring your little master back." ”

Aunt Wu did not respond.

She lowered her head and was silent for a long time before she came back to her senses and raised her head to look at Cai Hun , "Since you haven't found the little master, then Lord Cai came down this time, I don't know what happened?" ”

Cai Hun said, "It was the crown princess who ordered me to come down to see you, she was very worried about you, afraid that you would not be able to bear the self-killing, so she asked me to comfort you, until the last moment, never give up." ”

"Don't you ever give up until the last minute?" Aunt Wu repeated this sentence, and after a long time, she said lightly, "I understand, you go back and tell the crown princess, just say ...... I won't kill myself, I'm going to wait for the old little master to come back, and I'm going back to serve her. ”

"Hmm!" Cai Hun agreed, and then ordered the guards in the dungeon to take good care of Aunt Wu before leaving the dungeon.

Aunt Wu watched him leave step by step, and her heart was barren.

After a while, she went to the corner and knelt down, folded her hands, and prayed reverently to her little master, hoping that he would come back safely.

……

In the study, Xiao Xun finally waited for Zhang Jiu, who came back from the investigation, the night before the prince entered Beijing.

After Zhang Jiu entered the study, he saluted Xiao Xun as usual, "My subordinates meet the prince, the prince is a thousand years old." ”

Xiao Xun waved his hand and invited him to sit down.

When he was seated, he looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "How, what can I find?" ”

Zhang Jiu nodded and wiped his face, "Back to the prince's words, his subordinates have been running around for days, sleeping in the open air, fortunately, they have not been dishonored, and finally found out where the mastermind behind the scenes is." ”

"Where?" Xiao Xun asked with a cold face.

Zhang Jiudao: "Beizhuang outside the city." ”

Beizhuang outside the city?

As soon as Xiao Xun heard these four words, he knew whose territory it was.

His face was cold, his eyes seemed to be quenched with ice, and he looked at Zhang Jiu, "It's Lu He's hand again?" ”

When Zhang Jiu heard this, he first nodded, and then shook his head.

"Nodding and shaking your head, what does that mean?" Xiao Xun looked at Zhang Jiu and asked with a frown.

Zhang Jiu explained, "It's good that the person who did it was the general of Zhenguo, but that person acted in private. ”

"Acting privately? What does that mean, can you make it clear once and for all? Xiao Xun didn't think that Zhang Jiu said that it was half left and half abrasive, but at this moment, he was extremely disgusted.

Zhang Jiu felt the prince's disgust, where did he dare to hang the master's appetite again, and hurriedly said, "The person who did it was a person named Mama Chun, and his subordinates had already interrogated him personally, and I heard him say that he had some old grudges with the princess......

As he spoke, he told Lu Nianjin about Pit Chun's grandmother at that time.

Xiao Xun didn't care so much about Lu Nianjin at the beginning, he only knew a rough idea of her being taken to Beizhuang, and he didn't know the specific situation, and Xuanyi didn't tell him carefully at that time.

Yes, it is the first time to listen to Zhang Jiu's story.

Besides, Zhang Jiu, although he is doing the errand of a detective now, he often mixes in taverns and teahouses on weekdays, and he has actually practiced the skills of a storyteller.

He carefully described the original situation word by word, Xiao Xun listened, only to feel that there was a fire in his chest, blocking him, burning him and making him almost unable to breathe.

Lu He and Mama Chun, these two old brutes who are neither men nor women, actually bullied him like this without his knowledge!

He had a gloomy face, clenched his fists fiercely, and it took a long time before he calmed down, raised his eyes to look at Zhang Jiu on the Taishi chair, and said coldly, "Where is that Chun Mama now?" ”

"In a subordinate in a village outside the city!"

When Xiao Xun heard this, he immediately stood up, flicked his sleeves hard, and said coldly, "Lead the way, this palace will personally interrogate him again." ”

Zhang Jiu is also a person who has a wife, and he is very fond of his wife. Right now, how could he not see Xiao Xun's thoughts, he agreed, stood up, and led Xiao Xun out.

The distance from the National Teacher's Mansion to the outside of the city is a bit far.

The two rode their horses all the way, and when they arrived, it was already around the hour.

Zhang Jiu didn't say much, entered Beizhuang, and led Xiao Xun towards the direction of the dungeon......
