The gentleman loves money in a good way, and the love of money in the palm beads does not make Yuanzhen hate. He also knows that Zhangzhu is currently in a difficult situation, and if he wants to have a stable life in the future, he has to save a lot of money.

"It's not easy for Miss Fu, and she doesn't love money. Anyway, I should pay her some of the money for the medicine. dragged it and didn't give it to her, I don't know if she will be angry. ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "She won't, the money you gave before was enough." ”

Speaking of the palm beads, Yuan Zhen's words carried a hint of lightness.

He hadn't sat down for long, and the accompanying little servant Sau Hong came to report in a hurry: "Second master, the prince of the world has asked someone to send a message out, telling you to go back quickly." ”

Seeing this, Yuan Zhen secretly said something important? He got up and said goodbye to Yun Zhao: "We'll meet again another day, I'll go back here first." ”

Yun Zhao didn't want to stay long when he knew, so he said, "Jinshi, be careful. He hurriedly sent Yuanzhen out again, until he got on the sedan chair, Yun Zhao instructed the sedan chair man: "Go steadily, be careful not to turn upside down." ”

After sending Chu Yuanzhen away, he went back here again, the courtyard was still lively, Yun Zhao returned to his position, Song Jinfei saw this, and asked more: "Not long after I came, why did Second Master Chu leave again?" ”

Yun Zhao said, "Maybe there's something." ”

At this time, Du Yunxu came over, and he had to ask: "I heard that Jinshi is coming, why don't you see anyone?" ”

"Big brother, he just left."

When Du Yunxu heard this, his brows furrowed, so he said, "Something happened to the palace." ”

Everyone got nervous at the moment.

said that Chu Yuanzhen returned home in a hurry, and he went straight to Yin'an Palace. The Ten Kings sat there with their heads hung down, their faces dejected, and the princess was silent. Yuan Heng and Shangguan were both in front of him. The atmosphere in the room was a bit oppressive.

"You're back." Wonhyung nodded at him.

Yuan Zhen stood in the middle of the room on crutches, frowned slightly, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Yuan Heng came over and said to him, "Uncle Eight Wang, he's gone." ”

Yuan Zhen was surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "When is it?" ”

Yuan Heng said: "It was said that he left on the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and he was delayed for a few days on the way to report the news, and we only found out about the situation today." ”

This uncle of the eight kings is the brother of the ten kings, and he is also from the queen of filial piety. Uncle Bawang was named the king of Qin when he became an adult, and his fief was in Zhenan, separated from Shoufeng by three or four hundred miles. This Eighth Prince's Uncle Yuanzhen has met a few times, and in his impression he is a very gentle and generous person, he is only in his early forties this year, and he has never heard of any serious illness before, why is it suddenly not? Yuan Zhen couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

The Ten Kings later said, "The prince will pack up, and we will leave for Zhenan tomorrow." The second child stayed to guard the house. ”

The two brothers agreed, and the ten kings said, "The princess will go with me, and the princess will not follow if it is inconvenient at present." ”

The departure of the elder brother made the ten kings suddenly seem to be several years old, and the two sons comforted the good family again.

Later, Yuan Heng followed Yuan Zhen to Xiuyun Zhai, and Yuan Zhen knew that his brother must have something to discuss with him, so he called everyone out in front of him and asked them to wait in the courtyard. He closed the door with his own hands.

Yuan Heng sat down on a rosewood chair, and he said to Yuan Zhen: "Uncle Eight Princes reported to the outside world that he died of illness, but in fact he hanged himself. ”

Yuan Zhen was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Hang yourself?" Why did it come to this? ”

"It's because ...... Suppression from above. In the past few years, the fiefdoms of various feudal towns have become more and more high-pressure, and the land and shops may have to be recovered. ”

"Just rely on the little money given by the imperial court to live, and don't let each of them make a living?"

"I heard that it was because the military expenditure was increasing day by day, and the imperial court could not afford it, so Li and the old puppet made such a suggestion."

After hearing this, Yuan Zhen scolded in a low voice: "It's okay not to let the private army be raised, now that even this little livelihood has to be deprived, how should the clan relatives live?" ”

"yes, so life is getting harder and harder. However, Uncle Wang, the reason why he will go to a dead end is not because of this matter. ”

Yuan Zhen saw that his brother was not as happy as before, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what is the secret?" Is there still a taboo between our brothers? ”

"According to Uncle Wang's personal attendant, Uncle Wang accidentally got a letter, the letter was left by Queen Xiaohe, I didn't see what was written on it, but I heard that Uncle Wang later locked himself in the room for two days and two nights without eating or drinking, and the people who served him close heard him crying inside."

Yuan Zhen clenched his fists: "Grandmother's death is suspicious, and the letter probably reveals something." ”

"Father thinks the same way."

Yuan Zhen asked again, "Then has my father ever seen that letter?" ”

Yuan Heng shook his head and said, "No, I heard that Uncle Wang burned the letter after reading it." ”

He burned the letter to protect the Qin Palace, and it was also to protect their Rong Palace.

"Father, do you have any ideas?"

"Not yet, at present, we have to go to the funeral first, and how to go next needs to be discussed slowly. Although Uncle Wang left in a hurry, the Qin Wangfu was still there, and Brother Yuanqing would support the entire Qin Wangfu. I also took advantage of this to discuss with Brother Yuanqing to see what he thought. ”

Yuan Zhen said: "Now that the minions of the Zhenfu Division are scattered all over the country, you must be careful in your actions. ”

Yuan Heng said: "I know this without you reminding me, now at this time, it is better to stay away from the Du family, and the wall has ears, so as not to be honest." ”

In the Spring Festival of the eleventh year of Yuanjia, the entire Ten Kings Mansion was shrouded in a layer of gloom and misery.

By the early morning of the next day, the car was already waiting outside. Yuan Zhen hurried to the Yin'an Hall on crutches to see him off. Yuan Heng and Yuan Zhen said: "The family will be handed over to you to take care of, if there is anything to make people hurry up and report the news." ”

Yuan Zhen nodded and agreed: "Father and brother, don't worry, I will take care of the family." The mother concubine should also be careful all the way, pay attention to maintenance, and do not add to the disease. ”

The princess said lightly: "I know, you also have to take care of yourself." One more thing I want to tell you, even though we are not at home, we are not allowed to bring that vixen to the door. ”

Yuan Zhen didn't say anything, Yuan Heng hurriedly went to pull his mother and said, "Mother, it's time for us to go." ”

Yuan Zhen's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he sent the group out of the gate of the palace.

The stage had already been removed, and Yuan Zhen looked at the red lantern hanging under the porch for a while. Lingbi came out of nowhere, happily pulled Yuanzhen's hand and said, "Second uncle, let's go play ball together, right?" ”

Yuanzhen gently touched her nephew's head and said to him: "We won't play today, you go back to the room to read a few pages of books, after the Lantern Festival, Mr. Zan will come to the door, don't get you to the exam when the time comes, you can't answer anything, I can't help you at that time." ”

Lingbi was a little unhappy when she heard this, but she had to be obedient.

Yuan Zhen knew very well in her heart that the matter of Uncle Eight Princes was not so simple. Is it really the last step? For my father, it may really be a desperate time.
