Chapter 969: War Drums (1)
Shi Qingqian pondered for a long time, and the cheese in his hand was cold, and then he came back to his senses, immediately slapped the table, and said righteously: "Chengfu, you can only have a conversation with Jia Su, and ask him to quickly take someone to set up a water tank in the wall of our Yanwang Mansion, and someone will pay attention to adding water every day these days." The corner gates in the backyard were sealed for me, but there were no less people to handle, and there were unused gardens to the west, and I remember that there was also a small gate over there. ”
Chengfu, who had a cup of crisp cheese, was eating, and he didn't dare to delay after listening to Shi Qingqian's instructions, so he had to stuff the remaining half of the piece into his mouth while vaguely responding to it, which made Shi Qingqian chuckle and scolded softly: "It's useless!" Forget it, go after eating first, and don't rush this time! ”
Chengfu and Jia Su are still very neat, Chengfu finished eating the things in the bowl with satisfaction, and hurried to order, Yan Wangfu is big, when the master goes home, he goes from the front yard to the inner courtyard, usually takes a soft sedan chair, and on weekdays, Shi Qingqian directly asked the coachman to park at the side door near the hidden moon residence, so he didn't need those. The two of them ran around with a dozen small servants, and they were busy for a short hour before they were finished.
Shi Qingqian wrote another handwritten letter, calling it to be sent to the Hou Mansion, reminding the eldest lady to guard the door of the house these days, and not to slack off in the slightest, and the female dependents and children of the family should not go out, and it is the safest to stay at home obediently.
It doesn't matter if it's send, when the little guy came back, Shi Qingqian learned that Shi Yuan and Shi Ke hadn't been home for three days.
It turned out that they had not come back since they went to the court three days ago, and the eldest lady was already anxious at that time, so she just stayed in the palace to deal with Shen Shu's affairs, and then did not return for two days, and she wanted to come and talk to Shi Qingqi, but she felt that she would not be able to stay up now, so she had to give up and wait for three days.
Peng's family was crazy, and ran to the hospital every day to ask, but no one could say why, it just so happened that Shi Qingqian sent someone today, and they couldn't help it, and asked the little guy to bring words to ask Shi Qingqian if he knew some inside information.
The eldest lady said...... In the past few days, the emperor has been in poor health, since that assassination, he has been going to the court every three or five times, and today he hurriedly said that he sent someone to lead the troops, and then went down to the court," the little guy knelt in front of him and replied, "Mrs. and the third wife have sent someone to ask, but they have no choice but not to go to the court...... Even if you enter the palace, you may not be able to see the master and the third son. ”
Shi Qingqian couldn't help frowning, she thought that the Hou Mansion was fine, but she didn't want such a thing to happen. But after thinking about it, Shi Yuan is also a prime minister, and he has won the hearts of the people in the dynasty for so many years, if there is anything, he will naturally advance and retreat with the emperor, and share honor and disgrace. It's that he wants to take himself out, and I'm afraid that others won't allow it.
"By the way," the little guy remembered something, and continued, "The little one went to the Hou Mansion, and I heard that the forbidden army swept the Spring Rain Building yesterday, and many princes and nobles in it were talking about the current government and politics, and they were talking about the little prince's fall and the deterioration of the saint's health. The forbidden army showed no mercy, and they were all caught together, and they haven't been released yet. ”
He paused and continued: "The family members of several of them have already been admitted to the palace, and I don't know if they want to detain them or pick them up in person. ”
"Oh?" Shi Qingqian raised her eyebrows, and before she could say anything, Zheng's mother on the side had already begun to clap her hands and applaud: "Good catch!" These people don't know the height of the sky, and they dare to talk nonsense! If you want me to say it, I should deal with it harshly, and I don't have to say anything to lose my conscience in the future. ”
Zheng's mother is not sensitive to political affairs, but Shi Qingqian felt that there was always something very strange, so she asked: "Who is in the palace and who is down?" ”
"I don't know about this little one," the little guy shook his head, "I just heard the eldest lady vaguely say, 'All of them are from high-ranking families', and I think they are also noble sons, not inconspicuous villains." ”
"This is strange, it is to pull people into the palace to ask, but it's been a day, and there is no news today?" Shi Qingqian let go of the things in his hand and couldn't help but become anxious, "They are all pampered sons and brothers, can they still hold on and refuse to admit their mistakes even if they are caught?" The day has passed, and there should have been news a long time ago, but now there are still people locked up in the palace...... It's really ......."
Shen Shu was not at home, and several subordinates didn't know much about what Shi Qingqian said, and they were all at a loss when they heard Shi Qingqian's words, Shi Qingqian didn't expect them to discuss such a thing with him, so he had to wave his hand and ask Xue Ying to reward the little guy who passed the word with a lot of money, and retreated from everyone.
Coaxed Younan to sleep, and talked to Yao'er for a while, the night was already a lot darker, Shi Qingqian felt that his body was cold, so he asked people to add a few pieces of charcoal to the cage, and after the house was warmed, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.
It snowed heavily outside that day and night, and it was as dark as a cloth over the head, and only the flakes of snow drifted wantonly, adding a little color to the boundless darkness that was not the same as everything else. Xue Ying was on duty tonight, she was wrapped in a futon and lay on the couch in the outhouse, the stove fire burned well, she didn't feel how cold, she was tired all day today, Xue Ying was already sleepy, and she was confused just lying down.
Shi Qingqian also slept very deeply, probably because he had worked hard for the past few days and ate a bowl of soothing soup before falling asleep at night. I slept so much tonight that I didn't even dream.
I don't know how long she slept, and she didn't know what time it was, she only gradually felt as if someone was beside her, and the whole person was violently shaken, Shi Qingqian tried to open her eyes, and her senses gradually recovered-
Zheng's mother and Xue Ying stood beside the bed, and their eager voices came into their ears: "Wake up, princess!" It's messed up outside! It's a mess out there! ”
Shi Qingqian opened her eyes suddenly, only to find that it was bright outside-she slept until the morning of the second day, she looked at the person in front of her, and was still a little unconscious: "What, what's wrong?" ”
"The soldiers are in chaos! The soldiers are in chaos! Xue Shou shouted with a roar, kneeling down and sorting out Shi Qingqian's shoes and socks without saying anything, "Suddenly killing people outside!" As soon as our little guy opened the door, he bumped into the thief, and Brother Nuanyang directly ordered someone to kill him with a sword! ”
Nuan Yang went out to open the door, first from the corner gate connected to the main gate, but as soon as the door was opened, the thief stabbed a sword, and the little guy behind desperately pulled the person back, and it was easy to close the door.
The scale of this rebellion is not much larger than the last time, and Shi Qingqian can also hear the death outside in the Hidden Moon Residence.
She looked a little stunned, let the two of them put on their clothes indiscriminately, and rushed out without saying a word.
It's finally here! Yanwang Mansion, there must be no trouble!
