The twelve princes were poisoned and died, and the emperor not only carried out a major purge of the harem, but also began to swing the knife at the court. In only five days, more than a dozen officials, including the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, the Deputy Envoy of the General Political Envoy Department, and the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, were all thrown into prison, and then their homes were also raided.

Jiang Fangfei walked outside the study and said to Lin Fei: "Tell the girl quickly, I have something important to return." ”

Lin Fei opened the curtain and walked in.

Qing Shu looked at him with a bad face, and sighed in his heart: "Which family has an accident?" ”

But don't let the Wu family and the Feng family have an accident.

Jiang Fangfei said: "Lord Xia, the head of the household department, was put into a prison by the emperor, and I heard that the Xia family is now surrounded by officers and soldiers. ”

The brush in Qingshu's hand slipped to the ground: "Quick, prepare the horse, I'm going to the British Mansion." ”

When I arrived at the British Mansion, I learned that Feng Xiaoyu was not at home, but went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Yan looked at her anxious appearance and said, "Don't panic first, Xia Lan is not in the capital after all." ”

Qingshu asked, "Auntie, what happened to the Xia family?" ”

Yan was silent and said: "The matter of the twelve princes has touched the emperor's scales, and he wants to pull out the power of several princes in Beijing. ”

Qing Shu was not in the court, and he didn't know the intricate relationship between these officials. However, she could also see something from it: "Auntie, the Xia family was purely implicated by the four princes?" Or is it not clean in the first place? ”

Yan didn't answer this question, but said, "Qingshu, you're asking this question a little stupidly. ”

The eldest daughter of the Xia family is married to the four princes, so she and the four princes are in the same boat. And Xia Shangshu is also an ambitious person, and he has made suggestions for the four princes over the years.

Qingshu was silent and said, "Auntie, what about Xia Lan?" Will she be implicated? ”

Yan said: "If Xia Lan gets married, she is not guilty of marrying a daughter. But not only did she not get married, but she also didn't decide on her family, and she definitely couldn't escape this time. ”

Qing Shu hurriedly said: "Then let her get married quickly, and catch her in the official mission to get married." ”

Yan nodded and said, "The solution is a good way, but do you know where she is now?" Also, can you find the right person in such a short time? ”

Qingshu said: "If you can't find it, get one out, even if you leave it in the future, it's better than being caught in prison and then exiled to the frontier." ”

"Do you know where she is?"

"She is in Qinghai now, and she told me in the letter that she plans to stay in Qinghai for half a year."

Yan said: "This is easy to say, but it is still more troublesome to operate. ”

Qing Shu felt that this matter was not troublesome: "Xia Lan has been traveling outside since she was a child, and she has nothing to do with the affairs of the Xia family. And she is thousands of miles away, I think even if I know that this matter is boring, no one will be bored and go to Qinghai to investigate this matter. ”

Yan Shi thought for a moment and said, "You can tell Xia Lan this method, and it's up to her to decide what she wants to do." Perhaps she doesn't want to marry casually and share the hardships with her family. ”

When Feng Xiaoyu entered the house, she heard the last sentence: "If you don't get married, you have to share hardships with your family." ”

Qingshu said what she had in mind.

After hearing this, Feng Xiaoyu looked at Mrs. Shizi and said, "Mother, Xia Lan's brain is not bad, how could she do such a stupid thing." ”

"The Zhao girl in the Taichang period, she made such a choice."

The Zhao girl that Mrs. Shizi said was the young daughter of a royal history surnamed Zhao during the Taichang period. This girl played the pipa very well in one hand, and even the queen mother at that time admired it, but unfortunately something happened at home when she was sixteen years old. Miss Zhao's fiancée said that she was willing to marry her, but Miss Zhao not only did not want to marry, but also quit her fiancé on the spot. She went to prison with her family and died on the way to exile.

Qingshu said: "Xia Lan's dream is to become a great painter. If she dies, her dreams will be empty, so she won't do such a stupid thing. ”

If Xia Lan were such an old-fashioned and dead-headed person, he wouldn't have been traveling abroad and not coming back.

Feng Xiaoyu agreed.

Seeing that the two of them were in agreement, Yan Shi said, "In this case, then you immediately find a reliable person to send a letter to Xia Lan." If you want to get married, let her marry as soon as possible. ”

Seeing that Feng Xiaoyu was about to speak, Yan said, "You can't send people from the Guogong Mansion." We don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it now, but outsiders know that there is some trouble. ”

"Qingshu, you can't send people around you either. There are many people who are angry with you, and you have to be careful. ”

"That's not going to work, that's not going to work, mother, what do you want us to do?"

Yan said: "If you want to help Xia Lan, I won't stop you, but you have to find a way to do this by yourself, and you can't use the power of the family." Alright, I still have something to attend to, so get out! ”

Feng Xiaoyu took Qingshu to her courtyard, sat down and said, "It's really not good, let's go find a retired veteran to deliver the letter." ”

The main thing is to keep this matter secret and not to penetrate the news, so you have to find someone you can trust.

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No." If you are caught by someone with ulterior motives, it will bring trouble to the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

"So what to do?"

Qingshu said: "I will find a way to solve the person who sent the letter, I am just worried that the government will issue a wanted warrant." ”

Feng Xiaoyu waved his hand and said: "It's hard to do it now, and when the limelight passes, we will take the money to get the government and withdraw the wanted warrant." ”

As for who Qingshu asked to deliver the letter, she didn't ask, everyone has their own secrets. Even if you're a best friend, you can't talk about everything.

After talking about Xia Lan, Feng Xiaoyu said: "Qingshu, Xia Lan is our friend, and it doesn't hurt for us to take risks for her." But the people of the Xia family are not worth it. ”

She knew that Qingshu had a soft temperament, and she deliberately said these words because she didn't want Qingshu to take care of the Xia family.

Mrs. Xia doesn't like Xia Lan, and she is also indifferent to them. Feng Xiaoyu has always disliked Mrs. Xia, and she doesn't look down on the Xia family's behavior, so she rarely goes to the Xia family.

"Qingshu, you still have your grandmother and sister to take care of, but you can't act recklessly."

Qingshu smiled bitterly: "Your mother doesn't want to get involved in Xia Lan's affairs, how can I have the courage to help the Xia family." ”

"That's good."

When he returned home, Qingshu wrote a letter and handed it to Jiang Fangfei, and said to him: "You give this letter to Liu Heizi tomorrow." ”

Fu Jingene told her that if it is inconvenient to find him, she can go to Liu Heizi.

Jiang Fangfei was a little puzzled and asked, "Wouldn't it be better to hand it over to Young Master Fu directly?" ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient to hand it over to Jing Ene directly." And you send it early tomorrow morning, and try not to be seen. ”

Jiang Fangfei immediately understood and asked, "Does this matter have anything to do with the Xia family?" ”

"It has nothing to do with the Xia family, it has something to do with Xia Lan."

In Qingshu's eyes, Xia Lan and the Xia family are two different things.

Jiang Fangfei understood and said, "I'll be careful." ”
