224 Qiu Shi returned to Beijing
In the past few days, Yun Zhen's face has always been black.
Qiu Shi has been pressed back to the capital.
Originally, Yun Zhen wanted to use the hands of this stupid person to do great things quietly, unknowingly. But I didn't expect that this fool not only didn't get things done, but made himself a prisoner.
Anyway, I have to go and see this guy first, at least to know what he said and didn't say.
If you want to meet Qiu Shi, theoretically, it is not easy. After all, this is the emperor's order, but since he was secretly sent back to the capital, Yun Zhen can also get the news, which means that it is not difficult to see him for Yun Zhen.
But in this matter, it is better to talk to the Queen Mother, Yun Zhen thought, handed the sign to the palace first, and entered the palace.
Since the matter of Jin Se, Yun Zhen rarely came to the Queen Mother, and suddenly heard that her son was going to enter the palace to ask for peace, and the Queen Mother was also very happy, and she hurriedly prepared Yun Zhen's favorite refreshments and meals.
After dispersing, Yun Zhen changed his clothes and came to the Queen Mother.
As soon as he entered the door, Yun Zhen was just about to say hello to the Queen Mother, but when she saw her mother, she put down the book in her hand, quickly stood up, and greeted her with a smile.
"You're busy, aren't you? Look at you, you're tired, you've lost a lot of weight. The Queen Mother said distressedly, and then said to the palace people, "Go and prepare refreshments for the prince." I came early this morning, but I'm afraid that breakfast is useless. ”
"Thank you Queen Mother for your concern. My son was really hungry. Yun Zhen said with a smile.
Looking at her son's smiling face, the Queen Mother's heart "chuckled". You know, now when you don't smile like this, I'm afraid that something big will happen.
The Queen Mother didn't ask directly, right now, her palace is not safe, and there are not too many people to be trusted, there are eyeliner arranged by the emperor everywhere, she just smiled and pulled Yun Zhen to sit beside her.
"Although you are a prisoner, you must also take care of your body. The emperor believes in you, so he handed over such a heavy burden to you, understand? ”
"Yes, my son understands. There are too many things these days, and there are a lot of things, but now I can be regarded as understanding the emperor's hard work. The Queen Mother seems to have been cleared recently, and I heard from the palace people yesterday that the Queen Mother has had some coughs at night recently, but is it better? ”
"Fortunately, the mourning family's body is naturally taken care of by the imperial doctors, don't worry."
"That's good. Now in spring, it is inevitable that there will be some dryness, so eat more light snacks. ”
This pair of mother and son, you say a word, I say a word, just say some short words in the parents, and look like a harmonious group. After the palace people prepared snacks and Yun Zhen used a little, Yun Zhen looked around, and then said to his mother: "Queen Mother, I also haven't walked away from the imperial garden for a few days." Although it is not the time for flowers to bloom, the spring scenery is also good. I thought that the Queen Mother should not have gone out for some days, so it would be better for Xiao Wang to accompany the Queen Mother to the Imperial Garden. ”
The Queen Mother smiled, she really didn't miscalculate, her son came over today, and he would never just talk about some family matters, she nodded and said, "It's okay." Recently, I've been very tired, and I don't like to go to the garden with no one to accompany me. Let's go for a walk today. Come back in a while, you can go back after lunch with the mourning family. ”
"Yes."
Yun Zhen smiled and accompanied the Queen Mother to get up, and when they walked all the way to the Imperial Garden, the mother and son were still talking about Yun Zhen's family affairs, as well as what Buddhist scriptures the Queen Mother had read recently, and added a few small things such as jewelry.
Slowly, Yun Zhen and the Queen Mother let the eunuch and palace maid behind them stay away, and at this time, Yun Zhen whispered to the Queen Mother: "This time the emperor went out, and his son arranged a scene for him, but this scene was not performed well, which made the emperor unhappy." ”
"Oh? Does the emperor know that you arranged this scene? The Queen Mother understood what Yun Zhen meant, and asked hurriedly.
"I don't know what the emperor knows. However, last night, the protagonist of the acting was sent back to Beijing by the emperor. ”
"I was caught!"
"Yes. The son didn't expect that person to be so useless. ”
Yun Zhen frowned, looked at his feet, and sighed.
"Then I can ask if he has ......"
"Xiao Wang hasn't gone to see it yet, but tonight, I'm going to go over and take a look. I calculated, the emperor will be almost there in three or five days. No matter what he said or didn't say, this person is afraid that he can't keep it. ”
The Queen Mother secretly glanced at the palace people behind her, then nodded with a smile, took Yun Zhen's hand, and patted it gently, "These little things, you can just do it yourself." It's such a big person, and I, as a mother, don't interfere too much. ”
Yun Zhen smiled, and then continued: "I wanted to get back what I wanted in one fell swoop, but the result was ...... It seems that his son's ideas are still too paper-based. However, Queen Mother, if I am free, I think I need to contact the people around me. ”
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Yes." It's also time. You don't have to worry about that. Although there are not too many old people in my immediate vicinity now, the mourning family has been in this palace for so long, and there are always people who can be trusted. This is to be done by the mourning family. The top priority is to get that corner done first. ”
"Yes."
"But this matter can't be too publicized...... When I go back in a while, I'll get you something, which was left by Xiao Dengzi in the past. The usage is wrapped inside, too. You take it back and see if you need it. ”
"Okay." Yun Zhen replied with a smile, then stopped and said, "Queen Mother, it's windy today, let's go back first." ”
……
At nightfall, Yun Zhen came to the door of the prison of the Criminal Department.
Yun Zhen didn't ride in a sedan chair, nor did he bring any entourage, and came here on a horse.
Because he was wearing a black cloak and his hat was pressed very low, the jailer guarding the door did not see clearly who was coming, and stretched out his hand to block him.
"Who?"
Yun Zhen lowered his head and whispered, "Come to find Boss Xu." ”
The jailer looked Yun Zhen up and down, neither driving him away nor informing him, Yun Zhen understood that he was waiting for himself to give them money. He smiled coldly, took out two pieces of silver about five or six taels from his arms, handed them over separately, and then added: "Please pass it on to the two of you." ”
When you see silver, you are naturally easy to talk to, especially in this place where you can't die without silver.
In fact, one of them checked it, then put the silver into his arms, and said, "Wait." Then, he turned and walked in.
After about a pillar of incense, the cell leader surnamed Xu walked out with the jailer guarding the door.
"Yo, ...... Wang"
Seeing Yun Zhen, Xu Jiaotou was busy thinking about the salute, but unexpectedly Yun Zhen gave him a salute first.
"Master Xu, let me go in and meet you today."
Yun Zhen's words seemed to reveal some kind of sadness.
Xu Prison Boss understood what he meant, it seems that the Xian Wang Ye didn't want anyone to know that he had been here, and understood this meaning, Xu Prison Leader regained his usual demeanor, nodded, and said, "Wang Xiao...... You can see that you are pitiful, so come in with me today. ”
"Thank you, Master Xu."
As he spoke, Xu Prison led Yun Zhen into the gate and walked in the direction of the dungeon.
Seeing that there was no one left and right, Xu Jiaotou lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wang......"
"You're still alert, Xiao Wang didn't misread you. Don't talk too much, after you go in and see people, I have something to tell you. ”
Xu Jiaotou looked at the dress of the virtuous prince, pondered for a moment, and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Yun Zhen asked.
"Lord Wang, you look like this, it's really a bit ...... At first glance! Why don't you go to my room and change into your clothes. ”
"What? Isn't it convenient? ”
"Yes...... Because that person was personally sent by the above, there are some soldiers who don't know where to go. You're here quickly, and if it's a few days late, they'll see all the people here, and it's even harder for you to get in. ”
Yun Zhen thought for a while, nodded, and the two walked straight to Xu Cell's house. Xu Cellhead waited for Yun Zhen to change the jailer's clothes, looked left and right again, pondered for a while, and casually took a piece of red rouge from the table.
"Lord Wang, I'm offended."
"Isn't it okay?"
"Master, you are too heroic like this, but I am afraid of ...... We have a child here, about the same height and size as you, but there is a red mole on this face, you should be wronged today......"
"It's okay, as long as you can meet people...... But the kid you're talking about ......."
"Lord Wang, don't worry, that child is my nephew...... He...... The brain is a little bit weak...... So...... You also don't have to worry about him talking nonsense. ”
Yun Zhen was a little angry when he heard this, but after thinking about it, since he thought about it today, he knelt and knelt now, and worshipped, so it would not be worse for the last trembling. What if you just play a fool today?
He nodded, and let Xu Jiao'er press the rouge on his face, and sure enough, a palm-sized "red mole" appeared on his face.
"Lord Wang, remember, when I call Wuzi for a while, I will call you."
Yun Zhen nodded and said, "I remember." Let's go. ”
"Yes."
After letting Yun Zhen finish her makeup and makeup, Xu Prison Boss took some things from the table and served them herself, which led Yun Zhen to the direction of the dungeon.
At the place where he turned the corner, Xu Prison Boss put the things in his hand to Yun Zhen.
Yun Zhen took a look, there were kettles and bowls on it, and some very rough dim sum.
With the head of Xu Cell, Yun Zhen came to the outside of the dungeon, and sure enough, he saw some officers and soldiers guarding the door with the prison guards. As soon as he saw the head of Xu Cell, the officer and soldier guarding the door asked, "It's so late, why are you still here?" ”
"Didn't you say it, the one inside has to let you eat and drink well, don't be aggrieved. If there is a three-long and two-short, and we all have to lose our lives, how dare I be slow? No, I didn't eat a few bites of dinner when I saw him, and if he starved to death, I couldn't afford to pay for it. ”
The officers and soldiers looked at the things in Yun Zhen's hand, and somewhere they got a silver needle, whether it was in the water or in the snacks, they were inserted everywhere.
"Let's go inside."
Xu Jiaotou nodded and smiled and walked inside, and then didn't forget to call out: "Wuzi, follow." ”
"Hmm." Yun Zhen only hummed, and then prepared to follow up.
But when he was at odds with the officers and soldiers, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Stop." ”
