In the past few days, the sky in the capital has been covered with dark clouds that will rain before it rains.

News came from the Northern Expedition to the Mongolian army that Zhu Zhanpei had an affair with the concubines around the emperor, and both of them were beheaded by the emperor.

No one will believe you when you say this. Zhu Zhanpei was only sixteen years old, had just been crowned king, and went on his first expedition with his grandfather. The two concubines brought by the emperor this time are not high-ranked, but they have been in the palace for a long time, and they are more than ten years older than the six emperors' grandchildren.

Whether it was really an affair or not, no one is sure, what can be determined is that the six emperor grandsons were killed.

It just so happened that there was a rumor outside the palace in the womb a while ago, and there was an alley that suddenly became the "County Lord Alley", in which lived the county lord who was taken out of the palace just after birth.

The two are of the same age, so they were naturally talked about by a genius storyteller, and this is really a good story.

"Father, the emperor's grandfather used Zhu Zhanpei to cover up the fact that the emperor's uncle rebelled this time, are you already ......?"

"Yes, I have already revealed his identity to your imperial grandfather, and killed him and the concubines who colluded with the King of Han, which has minimized the impact. The person you arranged made a great contribution this time, as well as Huyan James, who reported the matter. ”

The prince's health during this period was not very good, except for the last dynasty, he was basically crooked in the Wenhua Palace. Daoist Ge, who refined the pill for the emperor, often offered him a golden pill, he had never eaten it, but now, he actually had the idea of giving it a try.

"Wei Qian, what else do you ask? If you don't have it, you don't have to keep it. This matter ended like this, and Lan'er was pulled in the middle, and I was always a little panicked in my heart. ”

"Yes. There should be no party in this matter, it was all because he was obsessed with it back then, and he used Lan Niangniang and harmed Hua Qiao. His adopted son Yi Chengjin, do you want to ...... together?"

"He took the lead in Wei Qian and Zhu Zhanpei's rebellion, which shows that he doesn't know the truth of this matter, if the whistleblower will also be implicated, who will dare to expose his relatives in the future? Not only did he not punish, but he also rewarded.

This matter ended here, and all the people in Lu Cheng's palace were sent to the imperial village, and they were not allowed to return to the palace. After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned against him, and stopped talking.

Yi Chengjin has been very low-key for a long time, and even in the last dynasty, it seems that it does not exist at all.

Zhu Zhanji didn't think much about it, plus the direct participants in this matter, the Li sisters have all passed away, and it is reasonable for his father to choose to keep a low profile in order to protect Li Lan.

There was a dead silence in Lu Chengwang's mansion, and soon, someone from the palace put things into storage, and the plaque was removed and cleaned, just like before Zhu Zhanpei moved in.

When she went to the carriage of Huangzhuang in the eastern suburbs, Xu Moyan's face was like ashes.

If she hadn't been too anxious and wanted to hold Zhu Zhanpei's heart firmly in her hands, she would still be a show girl in the palace now, and at most she would be looking for another opportunity.

Right now...... Fortunately, it's just that he is an insignificant concubine, and he can go to Huangzhuang with other subordinates......

Buckwheat? What county lord? It must be fake! It's just a cheap embryo that touches a dead man! But if I have a chance, I will never let you take away my glory and live well!

Hua Qiao didn't know anything about all this, and even Xiao Gao often couldn't see a shadow in the past two days, she just worked with Mrs. Xu Fang Wanyan every day, doing manual work in the house.

"Hua Qiao, after you and Lord Huyan get married, you don't have to sneak around and make clothes and shoes for him." Fang Wanyan pursed his lips and smiled. Her heart was very uncomfortable, but she couldn't say anything.

"How can I be sneaky...... I just don't want them to know, come and fight with me! Hua Qiao didn't admit it, she said with a smile: "Yesterday Haiming came back, and he said that he saw my father and brother." And also...... Sister Qingyu also saw it. ”

"Oh? How is Miss Tao? "This, Fang Wanyan is also very concerned.

She didn't say anything, only that she wanted to go back to the villa to have a baby, and live at home to feel better...... Hua Qiao sighed and said, "I hope she can give birth to the child safely." ”

"Yes, I hope everyone is safe, Miss Tao gave birth to the child safely, and Lord Huyan came back safely." Her words stopped abruptly, but her hand was pricked by a needle, and Fang Wanyan screamed "ah".

"Look at you, so careless. I'll see, is there any bleeding? ”

"No, don't look at it. I...... I'll go back first. Fang Wanyan stood up nervously, for fear that if he opened his mouth again, he would not be able to help but say what happened to Hu Yanjin.

Looking at Fang Wanyan's back as she left in a hurry, Rui'er, who came in with tea, asked strangely, "Huh?" How did Mrs. Xu go? It's weird, Xiao Gao has been weird in the past two days, and he can't answer anything absent-mindedly. "School bag

"What did I just say?" Hua Qiao recalled for a moment, frowned, and hurriedly asked, "What about Xiao Gao?" ”

"He's just come back from outside, in the East Courtyard."

Rui'er likes Xiao Gao a little and pays special attention to his every move.

When Xiao Gao came back just now, she happened to secretly measure the size of his shoes, and when she met her head-on, she was embarrassed, so she had to say hello: "Are you back?" ”

But Xiao Gao went in expressionlessly as if he hadn't seen or heard.

Usually he doesn't do that, although he is not enthusiastic, but at least polite. That's why Rui'er said he was "weird".

Hua Qiao suddenly felt a little panicked, she put down the middle coat made for Hu Yanjin, and walked to the east courtyard with her skirt.

Haiming and Haiying have not come back from going to Fushengtang, and Xiao Gao is the only one in the east courtyard. When Hua Qiao entered, he was sitting in a daze on the verandah, and when he heard footsteps, he didn't move.

"Glad, you just went to James House?"

"Didn't go."

"You didn't go to James House yesterday, the day before yesterday, or the day before yesterday? So where did you go when you went out every day? ”

“...... Only..... It's okay...... Get out and about. ”

"You can't even lie, tell me you're out for a walk?"

Xiao Gao is less than two years older than Hua Qiao, and will only turn eighteen at the end of this year, and Hua Qiao often treats him as a younger brother, although he is already about the same height as Hu Yanjin.

Hua Qiao pretended to be angry and turned to leave. Xiao Gao stretched out his hand and grabbed her sleeve, and looked at her pitifully with a raised face:

"You...... Don't be angry......"

"You say!"

Xiao Gao stood up, stood opposite the buckwheat, bowed his head and said softly: "I'm going to James Mansion, every day." Since the adult disappeared ten days ago, I have to go over every day to ask if there is any new news. ”

"Your Excellency...... Brother...... Missing? ”

Hua Qiao was dizzy for a while, and Xiao Gao hurriedly grabbed her arm and asked her to sit down on the stone bench in the verandah. He squatted down beside her, looked up at her and said, "It's just missing, and Li He is also with him." I'm sure you'll be back. ”

"You explain things carefully."

Xiao Gao told Hua Qiao the situation he asked from Ma Pingchuan word for word.

"You mean, Xu Jiugong was also on the top of Guantai Mountain at that time?" Hua Qiao felt incredible, but when she heard that Jiugong was also there, for some reason, she was a little relieved.

"Yes, Ma Pingchuan said, they searched for a day and a night, and then sent the township warriors in the county to search the mountains for a whole day. When he left the county seat, Xiang Yong came back and said that Xu Jiugong and the two beggar elders were still on the mountain. ”

Hua Qiao grabbed Xiao Gao's arm and said eagerly:

"Let's go too, let's go to Guantai Mountain to find him! Even if I move the whole mountain, I'm going to find him! ”

Xiao Gao looked at that beautiful face, not his familiar smile, but with the perseverance he admired: she was convinced more than anyone that her senior brother was still alive.

Xiao Gao suddenly had a smile, he nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll accompany you to the ends of the earth."
