Chapter 182: Refusal, What Kind of Thing
Chu Zheng stood outside the door for a while, and when he heard that there was no movement inside, he slowly walked away.
When he returned to the study, the first thing he did was to call Zheng Changdong, "This palace once asked you to check Huo Changjin's sister-in-law, do you still remember the results of the investigation at that time?" ”
Zheng Changdong is Chu Zheng's confidant and guard, saying that he is a guard, in fact, the whole East Palace, including the spies, is taken care of by Zheng Changdong, so the news transmitted will basically pass through Zheng Changdong's hands.
"Subordinates remember." Zheng Changdong replied, "Huo Shizi's younger sister is named Huo Sijin, and he is a dragon and phoenix fetus, but Miss Huo has been weak since she was a child, so she was raised in Mrs. Hou's maiden home Jiangzhou, and she has never returned to the capital. ”
"Can you send someone to Jiangzhou to see Miss Huo with your own eyes?" Chu Zheng immediately asked. From ear piercing, to Huo Sijin's quirk of never letting people get close, to Luo Qinglan's joke today, Chu Zheng had a question in his heart, and this question must be answered definitively.
Zheng Changdong felt very strange, didn't His Royal Highness value and trust Huo Shizi very much, how could he smell Huo Shizi's sister for no reason today.
But strange is strange, he is not like Zheng Changqing, who is used to not keeping the door open, and replied honestly: "My subordinates sent someone to Jiangzhou to check, and he did see Miss Huo in Jiangzhou with his own eyes, but Miss Huo was weak and never went out." It is said that more than ten years ago, Mrs. Hou's maiden brother Lord Yang also lived there, and after a few years, Lord Yang was transferred to another place, and in the entire mansion, except for Miss Huo, there were only a few subordinates who served her. ”
Hearing this, Chu Zheng was silent for a moment, and his finger lightly tapped on the table, he was in Jiangzhou, but it was not certain whether it was Miss Huo or not, Miss Huo had never been to the capital, that is to say, the people in the capital did not know her, and she didn't go out all day, so the only people who saw her were the people who served her.
A person who lives in a simple house and never even goes out, is it really Miss Huo?
Subsequently, Chu Zheng said with a straight face: "The palace is going to go out, you stay in the mansion and take care of everything." "He had to go to Jiangzhou in person.
Zheng Changdong also vaguely guessed where Chu Zheng was going, and was about to speak, when Chu Zheng's deep voice sounded in his ears again, "Regarding the whereabouts of this palace, this palace doesn't want anyone to know." ”
"Your Highness, this is a long way to Jiangzhou, and it will take at least three days to go back and forth, and the current situation in the capital is unstable and unpredictable, it is better to let your subordinates go on this trip, and your subordinates will guarantee that nothing will go wrong." Zheng Changdong surrendered his hand and asked for his life.
At this time, it was not a wise decision for Chu Zheng to leave the capital, and Chu Zheng went to Jiangzhou, thinking that it was also because of Huo Sijin. In Zheng Changdong's opinion, even if Chu Zheng was suspicious of Huo Sijin, he didn't need to make a trip in person at this critical juncture.
However, Chu Zheng raised his hand to interrupt him, "This palace has made up its mind, you don't have to say much, just do what this palace tells you." ”
The next things can be handed over to Zheng Changdong, but he must go to this matter in person, otherwise he may not be able to sleep day and night.
If it was really as he guessed, Huo Changjin was actually ...... How nice that would be.
A few days later, Chu Zheng went out of Beijing on behalf of the emperor to observe the people's situation, this time it was a private visit to Weifu, where he went, how many people he brought, no one knows.
When Huo Sijin heard about this, Chu Zheng had already left.
"His Royal Highness was ordered to pay a private visit, so his whereabouts are uncertain." Zheng Changdong told her.
Huo Sijin frowned slightly, "How could Your Majesty suddenly think of asking His Highness for a private visit?" She remembered that there was no such thing in her previous life, although there were some changes in what happened after being reborn, but except for being interfered with by her, other things did not change much.
Zheng Changdong shook his head and smiled lightly: "This is His Majesty's order, as for why, this is unknown." As courtiers, let's not ask too much. ”
"This Changjin naturally understands, but His Royal Highness's trip to Beijing this time is really sudden, and I am afraid that someone did it on purpose." She was worried that Chu Zheng's trip to Beijing this time was a trap set by others.
"Rest assured, His Royal Highness has made careful arrangements, and the guards around him are all good." Zheng Changdong said without changing his face, but he sighed in his heart, His Royal Highness has really worked hard because of this Huo Shizi, Huo Shizi must not let people down.
While the two were talking, Luo Qinglan suddenly walked over, "Huo Shizi, I'm looking for you, it turns out that you are here." ”
"Lord Yongjia." Huo Sijin hurriedly greeted Luo Qinglan, "I don't know what the county lord is looking for Changjin?" ”
Luo Qinglan looked at Zheng Changdong, and Zheng Changdong immediately said with interest: "The county lord, the prince, if your subordinates have something, they will retire first." With that, he quickly left.
Luo Qinglan obviously had something to say to Huo Sijin, and Zheng Changdong naturally wanted to avoid it.
"Does the county lord have something to say to Changjin?" Huo Sijin raised his eyes and looked at Luo Qinglan.
Luo Qinglan nodded and said, "Shizi, I said the wrong thing a few days ago, I'm really sorry. This gift is Qinglan's reparation to you. As she spoke, she bowed her knees slightly and gave him a standard boudoir salute.
Seeing this scene, Huo Sijin's eyebrows frowned slightly, Luo Qinglan had a bold temperament, and he had always bowed slightly, and he was doing the etiquette of a soldier in the army, but now he saluted her, which seemed to have a deep meaning.
"County Lord, in fact, you didn't say anything wrong, it's just a little joke, it's Changjin's heart that is too small, so I should apologize to the county lord." Huo Sijin hurriedly took over the words, and belittled herself in her words, intending to let Luo Qinglan know that she was small-minded and not a "good man".
However, Luo Qinglan didn't realize what she meant, waved his hand and smiled: "Shizi, you are giving me the stairs, in fact, I understand it in my heart." Any man would be angry when someone told him that he looked like a girl, after all, it was a matter of dignity. ”
"Shizi, you and I have been getting along for more than half a month, in fact, I see it clearly, you are kind and generous, gentle and elegant, it is appropriate to say that you are a humble gentleman, Qinglan is actually very ......"
Luo Qinglan paused, "That day was indeed a joke that was unscrupulous, don't misunderstand, Qinglan actually admires Shizi very much in his heart." ”
Admiration, this is the most suitable word Luo Qinglan can think of, she is a daughter's family in the end, and it is not easy to say anything like admiration, thinking about it, only the word admiration can vaguely express her heart, and it is not too obvious.
There is a vague deep meaning in this, in fact, Huo Sijin has already realized it, she frowned slightly, it seems that Luo Qinglan still didn't understand what she meant.
We can't go on like this, and if we let it go any longer, we don't know what will happen in the future.
Huo Sijin organized what he wanted to say in his mind, then gritted his teeth, looked at Luo Qinglan, and said: "County lord, Changjin has had a bumpy life, and he never thought of getting the admiration of any woman. ”
Hearing this, Luo Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Huo Shizi, you ......"
Huo Sijin's words are already obvious, Rao is Luo Qinglan no matter how rough her mind is, she also understands a thing or two, she looked at Huo Sijin and said slowly, "Are you refusing?" ”
She never thought that this would be the result, although she was not narcissistic and thought that Huo Shizi would definitely like her, but she felt that Huo Shizi would not hate her. But now, listening to Huo Shizi's meaning, it seems that he doesn't like her at all.
Luo Qinglan took a deep breath and said, "Huo Shizi, you hate me?" ”
"It's not a nuisance." Huo Sijin shook his head, "The county lord is a good girl, but Changjin ...... It is impossible for Huo Changjin to marry a wife in his life. ”
Huo Sijin didn't see any anger on Luo Qinglan's face, she was just surprised and puzzled, so she continued boldly with confidence: "The county lord is very smart, and choosing Changjin must also be for the sake of the overall situation, but Changjin is not the only choice of the county lord. ”
Huo Sijin carefully paid attention to Luo Qinglan's expression as he spoke, and seeing that her expression was the same, he continued: "Changjin can tell the county lord with certainty that if the county lord chooses Changjin, he will regret it for the rest of his life in the future. ”
As soon as the words fell, a fierce voice came from his ears, "What kind of thing are you, of course you are not worthy of my Luo family's girl!" The eldest princess of Ngee An hurriedly stepped forward holding the hand of the maid.
