Chapter 122: Ready to Go
Baoqin returned to King Qing's mansion early the next morning, and as soon as she and her maid returned to the mansion safely, someone handed the news to the Song mansion.
When Ah Jin heard Ah Zhen talk about this matter, he was lying by the window and looking at the pair of parrots sent by Shen Molin. At this moment, the pair of birds with white and beautiful feathers were eating the food given by Ah Jin, "Well, it's good to go back." You go to the Yunlai Inn today, and ask Ah Chu to tell your father-in-law and senior sister about this, and they will naturally make arrangements. β
"Yes," Ah Zhen nodded, looked at the pair of lively birds with Ah Jin, and laughed unconsciously, "The Shen family's eldest Langjun is so strange, why do you want to send the right caged bird to you?" β
Ah Jin stood up, clapped his hands and said, "You don't understand this, that pair of birds is not an ordinary bird, it is specially used by people to transmit messages, called Silver Sparrow." Shen Dalangjun is a businessman, and the sensitivity to news above the court is naturally stronger than that of you and me. He sent the bird to me to make it easier for me to pass on the news in the future. It seems that there is going to be a storm in this royal capital. β
Ah Zhen didn't seem to understand it, although her mind was full of doubts, she was used to it. She didn't understand what Ah Jin said, let alone ask, she just felt that it was really boring, "They make trouble with them, as long as the girl and aunt are fine." β
Ah Jin glanced at her, only thinking that her idea was too naΓ―ve, but he didn't want to refute it, "Yes, it would be great if Wen Yu and I were safe." β
While the two were talking, Song Wenyu suddenly came back. Ah Zhen smiled and walked out of the room, closing the door for the two of them by the way. A set of actions was done smoothly, and Ah Jin felt a little depressed.
She turned her head, looked at Song Wenyu with disgust, and said, "If you don't do the right thing on weekdays, let Ah Zhen also follow the wrong line." β
Song Wenyu didn't speak, and said in his heart that I could be blamed for this, "Baoqin has returned to Qingwang's Mansion, and it happened this morning." β
Ah Jin listened to his words and looked at him thoughtfully, "It was King Run who told you." β
"Well, as soon as the court arrived, King Run told me and Ah Teng in private. It's just that...... He didn't seem to know that Baoqin was pregnant? β
"Although Baoqin is a singer, he is not interested in these things that you fight for, but he is not stupid. She is still a young month, and if she doesn't say it, others will naturally not be able to see it. In such an extraordinary period, of course, she will not be silent. β
"Well, King Liang did take him to see King Qing last night. However, the three of us all felt that King Qing would not easily turn his mouth back, and we still had to wait until he took the initiative to ask to see us. Song Wenyu sat down as he spoke, and when he looked up, he saw a pair of white parrots with slender tails tilting their heads to look at him. Those two pairs of eyes as crystal clear as obsidian made him unconsciously think of Ah Jin.
So Song Wenyu looked at Ah Jin and said, "You bought this?" β
"No, Shen Dalangjun sent it, probably because he thought I was too bored in this deep mansion compound on weekdays, and wanted to find some of this novel little animal to accompany me. How's that, is it good-looking? β
"Well, it's good-looking," Song Wenyu glanced at Ah Jin deeply, and swallowed back the next sentence like you, "Shen Dalangjun, business is not bad?" β
"It's okay, I've never heard anything about him. Anyway, it doesn't look like you're losing money. β
It's okay if it's not a loss, this logic is a bit like the shadow of the wealthy Shen family. Song Wenyu stared at Ah Jin, thinking like this. Seeing that he didn't speak, Ah Jin was a little strange, "What's wrong?" β
"Nothing. After a few days, when the curfew is lifted, let's ask Shen Dalangjun to come out for a light meal. β
Ah Jin heard the sound of his words, smiled, and nodded slightly.

When Zhu Liangxin knew that King Liang had gone to Dali Temple to meet Xiao Duo in private, it was already two days later. The person who came to report the news saw her gloomy face and felt uneasy, but he didn't expect that this legendary ruthless queen mother only waved her hand and asked him to step back for the time being.
"Niangniang," Mama Kong thought that Zhu Liangxin was worried that Xiao Duo would betray the prince, so she said: "If Niangniang is really not at ease, we can also find a way to go to Dali Temple to meet the five princes." β
"Mama, do you know that this Dali Temple is simply monolithic. No one's power can be planted in it...... Even our Zhu family, to this day, there is no one who can be trusted and relied on in Dali Temple," Speaking of this, a trace of tiredness appeared in Zhu Liangxin's eyes, "Since Xiao Yi can enter Dali Temple to meet Xiao Duo, there is only one possibility...... The saint acquiesced in this. β
"Niangniang, maybe in this Dali Temple, there was once a protΓ©gΓ© with Yuan Xiangguo." Mama Kong actually couldn't tell what the truth of the matter was, she just didn't want Zhu Liangxin to be cranky and mess up with herself.
Zhu Liangxin took a deep breath and gradually dispelled the trace of panic in his eyes, "Xiao Duo is a hidden danger if he lives for one more day...... It is necessary to cut the grass and eradicate it before he speaks. β
"But...... How can this be done? His Royal Highness King Qing is now in Dali Temple. β
"Even if Dali Temple is an iron bucket, a hole must be dug out of the copper wall and iron wall! If you wait until Xiao Duo opens his mouth and bites Shuo'er, it will be too late! Zhu Liangxin gritted her teeth and said, she has been forced into a corner by Xiao Yi's attacks, if she doesn't want to come up with a way to win, not only herself, but even the entire Zhu family is estimated to be implicated.
Zhu Liangxin paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly paused, with a clear expression on his face. Suddenly, she laughed softly, and the laughter grew more wanton and more and more desolate. Mama Kong stepped forward to help her, for fear that she would fall to the ground if she couldn't stand still, but Zhu Liangxin raised her hand and refused, "Mama, this palace suddenly figured it out." That's what he meant, Xiao Yat...... But it's just a pawn used by his resourceful father. He had already seen the Zhu family unpleasantly, and now he finally seized an opportunity to uproot him......"
The deeper Zhu Liangxin thought about it, the more terrifying she felt, she was supported by Mama Kong, and walked back to the main seat on the high step step by step and sat down. Zhu Liangxin looked at the empty hall under him expressionlessly, his expression was numb, "The most taboo thing for him is to have power over the world and make great achievements...... At the beginning, Hongu had many schemes, but he was just using them...... Now he wants to rectify the Zhu family, just like when he assigned the Yuan family. β
Mama Kong lowered her eyes and stood aside with her hands in her sleeves. This kind of rebellious words, she naturally should not hear them. But these words of Zhu Liangxin made even this outsider feel cold when he heard it.
If the truth is indeed as Zhu Liangxin said, then isn't it a joke that she has been fighting for most of her life?
Mama Kong raised her head and looked at Zhu Liangxin's pale cheeks with sympathy and pity, "Niangniang, what are you going to do?" β
"Under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man," Zhu Liangxin was silent for a while, and his expression suddenly became ruthless, and she was almost like the one who was fragile because of fear and despair before, "Above the rivers and lakes, this palace does not believe that except for Tongtian Pavilion and Star Picking Pavilion, no third person dares to take the errand of the inner city." Mama, you go out of the palace and explain this matter carefully to the brother in the palace, and you must not make any mistakes. Can't let Xiao Duo walk out of Dali Temple alive, absolutely not! β
"Yes...... However, Niangniang, what if the fifth prince did not mean to betray His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all? β
"When the crown prince ascends the throne, he will be given a decent nickname, which should be regarded as compensation for him." Zhu Liangxin said such a sentence coldly, without a trace of guilt in his words.
Mama Kong stared at this face that was too cold and ruthless, and finally had to lower her head and silently accept the errand.

In the Runwang Mansion, Xiao Zhan suddenly laughed after listening to Feiyun's report, "Big brother's trick is very useful to startle the snake, and it made the Zhu family's gang of people and dogs jump off the wall in a hurry." β
Feiyun nodded and said, "This doesn't quite look like Zhu Liangxin's temperament. Doing things recklessly. β
"She wasn't reckless before, she was willing to take her time in everything, because she felt that no one could see through what she was doing behind her back. Now, she must have figured out who acquiesced in this matter, so she panicked. β
"You mean...... Xiao Wusheng? Feiyun has always disdained to call him an emperor or a saint, in his eyes, Xiao Wusheng is an ordinary man who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and he is his enemy.
"Hmm. The reason why Dali Temple has always been neutral in the imperial court and has quite prestige is not only because it is a place to dispose of royal nobles, but also because since the sage controlled the government, he has never let any party's forces intervene in Dali Temple. There, it's so impregnable...... In this case, why can the eldest brother come and go freely, and still see Xiao Duo twice? After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he glanced up at Feiyun, then turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, "A saint is worthy of being a saint, he counted everyone as always." Your name is Zhu Liangxin, how are you not afraid? If the saint wins this time, it will not only be her who will lose, but also her mother's family, which is of course the last thing she wants to see. β
"But...... I think that this time, Xiao Wusheng just wants to borrow a knife to kill people and cut off the Zhu family's right to cover the sky, but he doesn't plan to take away the crown prince. β
"Hmm. But a prince who does not have the support of a strong mother's family is already nothing. When the time comes, the saint will not hesitate to abolish him and appoint someone else, he is just helping someone to occupy this position. In this way, it will make Zhu Liangxin and Xiao Shuo even more worse than dead. Since such an outcome is predictable, of course, you must take advantage of your ability to fight back and give it a go. β
Xiao Zhan muttered softly, and he didn't know if this last sentence was talking about himself or Zhu Liangxin, who was still fighting.
Feiyun didn't answer, but accompanied Xiao Zhan to listen to the sound of rain quietly for a while. Suddenly, Xiao Zhan sighed and said, "But this matter makes this king's heart unhappy. Why did you say that Ah Jin took Baoqin to seek help from his eldest brother, but he was reluctant to come to this king. β
"She didn't ask her husband for help," Feiyun replied bluntly, not caring at all if Xiao Zhan would be unhappy.
Xiao Zhan looked at Feiyun with a smile and a smile, and saw that the other party was looking at him seriously, without the slightest hint of ridicule, so he said helplessly: "Yes, yes, this king knows it...... Wen Yu is now in the same boat as this king, since she doesn't want to cause trouble for Wen Yu, she naturally won't throw this hot potato to this king to solve...... It's just that if she is willing to ask the king, even once, no matter what it is, the king will definitely do it. β
Feiyun's brows were twisted together, and he stopped talking.
He clearly remembered that not long after Xiao Zhan came back, Ah Jin actually begged Xiao Zhan once, and she begged for the safety of her family at that time, but Xiao Zhan did not agree at that time, and of course she did not refuse.
As he said, as long as Ah Jin speaks, even if it is something that is contrary to his ultimate goal, he will not say anything to refuse. As long as there is something about Ah Jin, he is so greedy to want to know, as long as Ah Jin asks for something, he tries his best to do it.
However, there was only one thing that he might not be able to do.
Feiyun watched Xiao Zhan fall into deep thought, and then asked again: "When does Gongzi plan to make a move, forcing the Liang Pavilion Master to help you." β
"Don't worry, it's not that time yet, wait and see," Xiao Zhan said, picking up the account book on the desk and flipping through it page by page, and finally carefully closed it and put it in his hand, "If we can take Xiao Shuo down with this account book alone, we don't have to be so excited." β
Feiyun didn't dare to agree with Xiao Zhan's words, but he didn't veto them immediately, he expressed his opinion in silence.
