Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Chores (2nd Watch)

After resting for a long time, Drizzle and his men finally eased up a little.

Drizzle carefully bandaged the wound, smeared it with good wound medicine, and said to Ling Hua unwillingly, "Master, you should take the opportunity to kill the secret guard sent by Wen Qiliang, and the secret guard sent by Wen Qiliang has also been searching for the whereabouts of His Second Highness nearby. ”

Ling Hua said, "Find the Second Highness first, those people in Wen Qiliang are not in a hurry, there is always a time to settle accounts with them." ”

Now the top priority is to find Xiao Zhen.

Drizzling rain, he led people to search along the road pointed out by Ling Hua, while Ling Hua took Liuli, Xiao Jin and others to search in the direction of Hengchuan County along another road.

In Beijing, the emperor was waiting for Xiao Zhen and Zhao Jiang, the head of the household department, to provide disaster relief, calculating that the two of them should have arrived in Hengchuan County a long time ago, and the excerpt of disaster relief should almost come. But it hasn't come yet.

The emperor waited for the news of Lingshan that Wen Qiliang inquired about, although he knew that the news was not in a hurry, but he was still thinking about it all the time. At the same time, waiting for Ling Hua's excerpt, Ling Hua has been transported to Jiangnan Cao for half a month, and there is no news so far.

The emperor sighed to Gonggong Zhao, "This one by one, why is the news so slow?" ”

Gonggong Zhao said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry, after all, it's a long way to go." ”

The emperor came to Ling Hua and said that he wanted to let Xiao Ze come out and take him with him to teach for a while, but after the incident happened to Ru Concubine and Li Concubine, as well as the fourth prince and the fifth prince, he suspected that Xiao Ze had done it, so he delayed the matter.

It's been half a month now.

He asked, "Is the prince honest now?" ”

Gonggong Zhao nodded, "I haven't heard any movement in the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is said to have been copying and reading books." ”

They are all about to become Buddhas.

The emperor was quite satisfied, but he didn't say anything about letting Xiao Ze out.

In the Changning Palace, the Queen Mother muttered, "It's been more than half a month since Ling Hua left, right?" ”

"Sixteen days." Grandma Sun remembers clearly.

The Queen Mother said, "There is still the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 20th, and the wedding is still a month away, and Ling Hua doesn't know if he can come back in time?" But I heard that the chaos over there in Jiangnan Caoyun has been settled? ”

Grandma Sun didn't know this either, and shook her head, "The old slave inquired about Gonggong Zhao, and said that Miss Ling has not passed the fold back so far, and His Majesty is also waiting for news." ”

The Queen Mother was worried, "It's been three years since Jiangnan Caoyun's stall, and Your Majesty was stunned that he didn't find a suitable person to replace Ling Hua." The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the mourning family looks at it, they all eat dry rice. ”

Mama Sun also sighed, "Miss Ling is a capable person who works hard." ”

It's all out of the question.

The Queen Mother couldn't sit still a little, and said to her, "You go to Duanjing Houfu, see the banquet, and see what he has been doing lately?" Ling Hua was not looking at him in the capital, the mourning family was really worried about him, and asked him by the way, did Ling Hua send him a letter? ”

Mama Sun knew that if she didn't go on this trip, the Queen Mother wouldn't even be able to eat and sleep soundly, "The slave will go." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Go quickly, bring him some snacks made in the palace." ”

Mama Sun should have sent someone to the imperial dining room, brought all kinds of snacks in the palace, and went out of the palace to Duanjing Waiting Mansion.

In the house, the banquet is just there.

When the housekeeper led Grandma Sun and a few little eunuchs carrying baskets, Yan Qing had just woken up from a nap and was lying on a bench to wake up.

Hearing the movement, Yan turned his head lightly, saw Grandma Sun, and immediately turned his head back and closed his eyes.

Yunluo: "......"

Little Hou Ye, how much he doesn't want to see Grandma Sun.

Grandma Sun also sighed that every time she came, the little marquis pretended not to see her, she was used to it all these years. She brought someone to the front and gave the banquet a light salute, "Little Marquis." ”

The feast is light and cannot be heard.

Grandma Sun smiled and said, "The slave knows you're awake." ”

Yan Qing still had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

Mama Sun talked directly to herself, and said the purpose of coming, "The Queen Mother ordered the slave maid to come and see if you are okay these days?" Is there a good one? But nothing happened? I also ordered the slave maid to bring you snacks from the palace, a few of which are your favorite food, and the queen mother asked the slave maid to ask, Miss Ling can write to you? ”

I don't know if Ling Hua's name works, or if this last sentence has an effect, Yan Qing opened his eyes and looked at Grandma Sun, "Grandmother is so old, why are you so worried?" Didn't I say that I was worried about getting old fast? She loves beauty so much, and now she is not afraid of getting old quickly? ”

Mama Sun smiled, "The Queen Mother is also worried about the little marquis, you are alone, and you are unhappy." ”

Yan snorted softly.

"After you answer the slave maid, the slave and maid will not be in the way of you, and will leave immediately." Mama Sun knew Yan Qing's temperament, and picked up what he liked to hear.

Sure enough, Yan Qing immediately said, "I'm very good, day by day, except for eating, drinking, and playing, what can happen?" My aunt and grandmother were too worried, so she had to worry less. Dim Sum is under his hands, and Ling Hua didn't write to me. ”

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Mama, please!" ”

Mama Sun got the word, and sure enough, she didn't say a word, left Her Royal Highness, and withdrew from the Duanjing Waiting Mansion.

The housekeeper sent Grandma Sun away, smiling as always, "Our little marquis is this character, if the queen mother wants to know anything in the future, you don't need to come to Mama herself, just send a little eunuch to ask." ”

Mama Sun smiled and shook her head, "The Queen Mother doesn't worry about anyone she sends, I'm afraid that the little eunuch won't see the little marquis, and only I will come in person, as long as the little marquis is in the house, he won't hide from me." ”

The housekeeper thought about it, and smiled helplessly, "It's really hard mama." ”

"The family doesn't talk to the two families, as long as the little marquis is good, the queen mother will be fine, and the slave and maid will be good." Mama Sun looked at the housekeeper and lowered her voice, "Miss Ling really didn't send a letter to the little marquis?" It's been sixteen days. ”

The butler shook his head, "No." It's about that Jiangnan Caoyun is too far, and the letter hasn't arrived yet! Or maybe the matter of Jiangnan Caoyun was too tricky, and Miss Ling didn't find time to write a letter. ”

The latter reason is untenable, and there is no time to write two sentences. It should be that the journey is too far, and the letter has not yet arrived.

Grandma Sun also felt that the letter was on the way, "Then I'll come back in a few days." ”

She explained, "The Queen Mother is worried that Miss Ling has delayed her wedding with the little marquis, and she has been thinking about Miss Ling's progress in Jiangnan Caoyun, and there is still 20 days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the wedding will be in a month, and the Queen Mother is in a hurry." You know, the Queen Mother is looking forward to the wedding of Miss Ling and the little marquis every day, but this year is an eventful year, and something happened to Jiangnan Caoyun. ”

"Not really." The housekeeper was also anxious, "I hope Miss Ling will solve the mess in Jiangnan Caoyun quickly and come back soon." ”

Otherwise, the queen mother in the palace is in a hurry, and the third son of the Ling family is also in a hurry.

After sending away Mama Sun, the housekeeper walked back, pondering as he walked, the little marquis came back from living in Cheng Gongzi's Zhuangzi for a few days, and he didn't like to go out of the house to drink, and he really stayed in the house obediently these days. Tease the cockatoo every day, walk the sweaty and bloody BMW, and enjoy the cool under the grape trellis, and more than ten days have passed in a flash.

It's been a fast day.

Yan asked Yunluo lightly, "How long has she been gone?" ”

Yunluo remembered as clearly as the Queen Mother, "The master has been gone for sixteen days. ”

Yan Qing rarely cares about Jiangnan Caoyun, "Is the chaos of Jiangnan Caoyun very tricky?" ”

Yunluo thought that where was the chaos of Jiangnan Caoyun, but the matter of the disappearance of the Second Highness, which was a big deal for the master.

After the master left that day, he went back to Ling's house to see the third prince on the order of the little marquis, and the third prince naturally told him the truth, but repeatedly instructed him not to tell the little marquis, so he could only say that Jiangnan Caoyun was a bit tricky except for the chaos, and the master could only go in person.

So, now Yunluo nodded, "It's very tricky." ”

Yan stared at Yunluo lightly, "She has been in charge of Jiangnan Caoyun for three years, and she has made Jiangnan Caoyun impregnable, what kind of mess made her go to Jiangnan Caoyun in a hurry?" ”

"It's the trouble that the prince of the East Palace has been looking for earlier." Yunluo Road.

Anyway, the prince of the East Palace did take the opportunity to find some trouble, although it is not a tricky matter, but there are also people who are settling those troubles, but the person who is now in Jiangnan Caoyun is not the master himself, but a stand-in arranged early on.

There's nothing wrong with pushing this matter on the prince.

Yan lightly laughed, "Xiao Ze's unclear mind will sooner or later make the position of the prince gone." At least your master is doing things that benefit the country and the people, and what is Xiao Ze doing? To oppose your master is to drag the court back. His Majesty has now locked him up in the palace and thought about it behind closed doors, and he should have been locked up all the time. ”

Yunluo nodded, "What the little marquis said is right. ”

"How busy is she, and she doesn't even have time to send a letter back to Beijing?" Yan Qing didn't want to admit that he was waiting for her letter.

Yunluo glanced at Yan Qing and said meaningfully, "The master is too busy to eat and sleep. ”

Yan sighed softly, "This is a errand." ”
