Chapter Ninety-Eight: Master and Servant
Even Hualuo didn't realize that she would consider the benefits or disadvantages of others to the girl at the first time.
Supposedly, she was just the most ordinary guard by the girl's side, protecting her as much as possible when danger came.
It's not her turn to think about such a rainy day.
But now she thinks about it, and even wants to find out the true purpose of her trip from Hua Qing's mouth.
"What Sister Huaqing wants me to do, just tell me." Hualuo hung her head and said obediently.
Hua Qing glanced at her, "I'm not here, are you also listening to the girl's orders like this?" ”
As the head of the twelve flying flowers, Hua Qing Suri is rarely harsh on the sisters below, but it is not close either. Especially like this, she doesn't usually come to her much, and most of the time she doesn't have a sense of existence.
This time, however, it was a big surprise to her.
Hualuo didn't go back to Dengzhou with her.
It seems that she has the trust of the girl now.
To a certain extent, it was actually she who grabbed her position, although this position is not uncommon herself.
But people have bad roots, even if they are not rare, they don't want others to get involved.
Hualuo was not stupid in the first place, Hua Qing's dissatisfaction with her, she had already felt it, but pretended not to know, and said flatteringly at the moment: "Sister Hua Qing, don't blame me, at that time, there was a shortage of people around the girl, and she asked me to stay." ”
"So you've been listening to her." Hua Qing said with a sneer.
Hua Luo hurriedly said: "No, no, I also listen to Sister Hua Qing." ”
Hua Qing exhaled, "It's pretty much the same. ”
She suddenly asked, "Where did you go last night?" ”
Hualuo's heart tightened, and her first reaction was that she couldn't tell her the truth, but how to reply so as not to make her suspicious?
After thinking for a moment, she said: "Don't dare to hide it from Sister Huaqing, last night the girl originally planned to explore the Yunhu Teahouse again, but the sky was not beautiful, and the rain was too heavy; Second, she had been busy all night before, and she was very sleepy, so I persuaded her to go to bed early, and the girl said, "Then go again tonight." ”
Hua Qing glanced at her and saw that her expression did not seem to be fake, so she also believed it.
Hua Luo said again: "Sister Huaqing, aren't you going to see the girl?" ”
"No, I have other things." Hua Qing said, "Don't tell the girl, I'm here in Qizhou." ”
Hualuo nodded and agreed.
Hua Qing said again: "Ming'er, I'll come to you again, and we'll still meet here then, do you know?" ”
Hua Luo nodded again, looking a little confused, "Sister Hua Qing, what are you going to do?" Let's carry the girl like this, okay? ”
"What's so bad. Anyway, I won't hurt her. Hua Qing was unhappy, "Hmph, even if you want to harm her, the prince won't let her, I don't know what kind of ecstasy this girl gave the prince, and she still protects her like this." ”
Hualuo listened, but there were no words.
Hua Qing admires the prince, everyone knows it.
In the past, the girl also admired the prince, but since she met the prince on Shuofeng Island, she has stopped thinking about the prince.
From the perspective of the flowers, this is actually quite good.
But because of the prince, Hua Qing is still jealous of the girl.
And the prince didn't seem to have any intention of letting go of the girl, but he gave the girl such a medicine.
Thinking of the suffering that the girl had suffered that night, Hualuo couldn't help but palpitate.
The prince is really ruthless, alas......
In the inn, the two of them no longer had the previous Qingqing and me, and turned to chatting about business.
Shen Wenjiang had already told Shizi everything that happened during this time, including the fact that she had explored the secret passage of Yunhu Tea House at night last night and found that the gang of bandits had been killed, but she didn't say that Hua Qing moved it.
There are some things, even if she likes the son of the world, it is impossible to tell him.
This is her sorrow.
Ji Nancheng's face froze, and he felt a little sad in his heart.
He was secretly ordered by His Majesty to rescue the crown prince this time.
Before leaving, they did not know that the prince had been rescued by them.
When Concubine Rong Shu committed suicide, the palace had already issued a gag order, claiming that she had died of illness.
His Majesty once spent the night in the Xiuyu Pavilion.
The second prince was also detained in Xiuyu Pavilion all day long, accompanied by the two old chamberlains beside His Majesty, and did not take a step out of the palace gate, nor did he contact anyone else.
It seems that the matter of Qizhou really has nothing to do with him.
The queen went to make trouble twice, but was repelled by His Majesty.
In the court, many courtiers asked for a thorough investigation of the assassination of the prince, and some old ministers proposed to retry the old case of the Guo family, but they were all put aside by His Majesty.
Your Majesty's meaning couldn't be clearer, whether it was the assassination of the crown prince or the matter of the Guo family back then, it was not appropriate to put it on the table at this time.
As a result, Ji Nancheng had to suspect that the murderer was likely to be His Majesty's person.
By the side of the emperors of the past dynasties, in addition to the personal guards on the surface, there were also many secret guards in the secret, who carried out some actions that could not be put on the table for him.
As the emperor and also as a father, he wants to protect the second prince and sacrifice a few minions without any psychological burden at all.
What he wants is the kind that has absolutely nothing to do with the second prince and has no risk at all.
Ji Nancheng thought about it again and again, and said solemnly: "Don't tell Lord Luo about this for the time being." ”
"That's what I thought too." Shen Wenjiang nodded, and had already guessed the intention of the prince with a little touch.
And that's exactly what she wants.
If you really want to investigate, with the means of the prince, sooner or later you will find out Hua Qing's head, and it will be difficult for you to make it happen.
After all, she didn't want the son to misunderstand her; But there are some things that she really can't confess.
This goddamn spy identity......
Just as Ji Wu came in to report, Ji Nancheng asked him to quietly go to Yunhu Teahouse to bury the dead in peace.
That's when the flowers returned.
All the way, I was thinking about whether to tell the girl about seeing Hua Qing.
Her expression was unusually obvious.
Shen Wenjiang saw it at a glance, but didn't ask.
There is still some estrangement between her and Hualuo.
But one thing she was sure of was that at least Hualuo wouldn't hurt her.
In that case, why bother to find out her secrets.
Hualuo's heart was so fierce that he was almost scalded by boiling water when making tea.
Shen Wenjiang quietly took the tray and told her to go down and rest.
Hua Luo bit her fingers helplessly, stared at her for a long time, and then said, "Girl, I-"
"It's okay, you go down first, didn't you promise Mrs. Luo to accompany her to go shopping yesterday? You go and prepare, let's set off in a quarter of an hour, let's be juniors, it's not good to make Mrs. Luo wait for a long time. ”
Hualuo agreed.
Here, Shen Wenjiang accompanied Shizi to have breakfast, and the two talked for a while, and Ji Nancheng went back to his room, then changed into clothes that matched his identity, and left the inn under the support of a group of entourage, and went to the post house.
Ah Wen told him just now that the next step is to accompany the prince to the southwest.
In short, if you can't go back to Beijing for the time being, it's best to let the heat of this matter pass as soon as possible.
He also felt justified.
I am afraid that those envoys have the ability to bloom lotus flowers, and they will move the prince.
So he had to show up and accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
