Due to the arrival of his family, Fu Yi could no longer continue the topic of Fang Cai, and Kaijiang had other affairs on his side, so he resigned from the invitation of the old lady for lunch and left in a hurry.

Fu Yi saw him, thinking about Fang Cai's conversation in his heart, and said that he had to stay with the emperor, why was this?

The citron came to support the young lady, looked at the person in front of her who was talking and laughing, and said happily: "The third lady and the second lady are so good, coaxing our lady to be so happy, I saw that my wife was still very nervous yesterday, and today it is much better." ”

Fu Yi was also full of gratitude: "In this way, my mother should believe that I didn't lie to her, and everyone in this family treats me well." ”

The group went back to the inner courtyard for lunch, walked halfway down, and saw Zhengming probing his brain not far away, he was now transferred to another place by the eldest master, and he couldn't go to Qingqiu Pavilion to reply if there was anything.

Fuyi glanced at Cuizhu, Cuizhu understood, walked and walked, then left everyone, and quietly went elsewhere to meet Zhengming.

After lunch was passed in the inner courtyard, everyone washed their hands and sat down, Cuizhu came back again, and said inadvertently in Fuyi's ear: "The eldest lord took away all the carrier pigeons at home, and thought that he was going to slaughter and cut off the communication between you and the son, but Zhengming found that it was the eldest master who was anxious to give the son a letter, and they were all released one after another, and one of them got lost and turned back to him." ”

Cuizhu stuffed a rolled piece of paper to Fu Yi, who pinched it in the palm of his hand, and soon after lied about his joy, retreated to his grandmother's inner room, and unfolded the paper when no one was around.

In just a few words, every word is shocking, the emperor is going to do it, and the father-in-law wants Brother Rong to take the life of the son as soon as possible.

Fu Yi suddenly remembered that her mother mentioned that her father copied the Yellow Scroll at home, and her father was good at imitating other people's handwriting, no matter whose handwriting it was, as long as he pondered it for a long time, he could learn it vividly.

But outsiders don't know much about this matter, after all, it is the ability to cause trouble, and if it is today's holy decree, what matters is not the handwriting but the imperial seal of the country, it can be seen that the father copied and transcribed, it should be the edict of the first emperor, and it is a handwritten edict, this is a big crime to kill the head with every stroke, and my father is really out of the way.

The more Fu Yi thought about it, the more excited he became, and called Cuizhu and asked, "Can that carrier pigeon still be released?" ”

Cui Zhu responded: "Zhengming asked, do you have anything to pass on to Childe." ”

Fuyi took her hand and got up, went to the table to borrow her grandmother's pen and ink, wrote a few words in neat fly-headed small letters, rolled them into a note and handed them to Cuizhu: "Send it, and then tell Zhengming, take care of your life, you don't have to pass anything to me, I naturally have another way to inquire." ”

Cuizhu should go down, first help the young lady back to the table, and then disappear in the inner courtyard unconsciously, Zhengming took the paper outside, and quickly released Zhu Rong's carrier pigeon.

In the afternoon of this day, Mrs. Yan was going to the palace to ask for peace, in order to thank the princess for giving her a marriage, and because of Zhu Chengqian's order, she was not allowed to go out at will, so she could only entrust her mother to Yunzhi, and asked her to tell the county lord that she had to come to the mansion to sit down.

But Mrs. Yan went, but Princess Min and Hanzhi came back, and they wanted to leave a message to Mrs. to stay, saying that the palace was a mother's house in the capital, and the person who came to her mother's house naturally lived in her own home, and ordered someone to take away all the luggage.

But today, Zhu Chengqian had the intention to return home early, wanting to set up a banquet to entertain his mother-in-law, but he was sneered at by the eldest lady who also rushed back from the palace: "I said why is it so unruly, it turns out that there are no rules, but there is no fear, but the palace is supporting behind the people, I wish Grandpa, you can't afford to climb high." ”

Zhu Chengqian didn't care, he didn't take the Yan family in his eyes at all, until he saw the old lady and heard his mother say that he was going to send Pingjue to Jizhou to study, and he took advantage of the fact that his mother came this time and brought it back together, so he was annoyed.

He did not hesitate to say bluntly to his mother: "The emperor has already doubted why all the girls in our family are gone, and now you have to send Ping Jue away, it is better to move the family out of the capital, so as not to let my son be interrogated by the emperor again and again." ”

The old lady said coldly: "My niece is a guest at my aunt's house, and the child is sent to the school to study, which is a matter of course in someone else's house, what are you panicking about?" ”

Zhu Chengqian did not back down: "Why do you knowingly ask, do you know what your son is worried about, isn't everything I do for this family?" ”

The old lady said: "Then you should send the children away, as much as possible to avoid risks, if you can be safe, the children will always come back one day, if you can't hold on, they can escape, isn't it good?" It's the best of both worlds, but you don't care if they live or die, you don't think of yourself as a father. ”

Zhu Chengqian returned to Xinghuatang full of anger, the eldest lady stood against the door, saw his anger, asked the next person for a bowl of lotus heart tea, came to her husband's study, put down the tea bowl and said: "Drink tea to dissipate your anger, what happened to the old lady?" ”

Zhu Chengqian said: "She wants to send Pingjue to Jizhou." ”

The eldest lady shook her head: "It's really old and confused, if you want to play it out, what's so good about Kishu?" ”

Zhu Chengqian said angrily: "Don't you know what this means, you open your eyes and see how many people are missing from the family, and the children are gone." ”

The eldest lady remembered that she had mentioned these things in the palace today, and the queen was also in deep thought, and she finally realized her uneasiness and asked, "What do you mean, whose idea is this?" ”

Zhu Chengqian paced back and forth in the study: "How should the emperor view me, he was loyal to him in the face, but he turned around and was in a hurry to send his family out of the capital." He is sensitive and suspicious, once he no longer trusts me, the Min family's today is your and my tomorrow. ”

The eldest lady was originally looking at jokes, but she couldn't help but get nervous at the moment: "What's the matter, everyone in this family has to help the father and son rebel." ”

However, Zhu Chengqian, exhausted all means, and could not find out the whereabouts of Prince Sheng, a while ago he finally had some clues, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared from the world again.

The eldest lady said quietly: "Kill Min Shen's mother and daughter, he will definitely appear, is it true that the emperor can't let go of his old love, how can he have both the beauties of the country and the mountains?" “

Zhu Chengqian sneered: "He's not reluctant, he doesn't dare." ”

Outside Xinghua Hall, Fuyi came to ask to see his in-laws, and he wanted to be picked up by the palace for his mother, so he came to say goodbye.

I thought I would be turned away, but I just did my best, but when I saw my father-in-law go out in person, I bowed and bowed: "Father." ”

Zhu Chengqian stood on the steps, condescending, and asked in a cold voice: "Yingzhi's departure from Beijing, as well as Pingjue's going to study in Jizhou, are they all your ideas?" ”

Fu Yi responded calmly: "Are you saying that Pingjue is going to Kishu?" ”

Zhu Chengqian said: "You don't have to pretend to be confused in front of me, who made the aunt and nephew of the Min family end up like this, you know best in your heart." ”

The wind after the first snow was extremely cold, and Fu Zhi's father-in-law didn't even let her talk in a warm place, so he understood that he didn't even care about the child in his womb.

Zhu Chengqian really said: "Since your mother has gone to the palace, you don't have to bother taking care of it, from now on, you are not allowed to go out in Qingqiu Pavilion, all visitors will be refused, and the old lady does not need to go to the morning and dusk provinces, you can only be in your own house, no one can see without my order." ”

Fu Yi asked rhetorically: "Please also ask my father to make it clear, are you going to put me under house arrest?" ”

Zhu Chengqian said: "It is not the person who calls for the wind and rain to change the way of the world, since you came, this family has undergone earth-shaking changes, you seem to have nothing to do with it, but it is the cause of everything." Right now, you can do this with just your natural acumen and intelligence, and one day you really learn the ability to turn the clouds and rain, but can you pay it back? ”

"Father's ......"

"Someone!" Zhu Chengqian called the retreating subordinates to him, "Send the young lady back to Qingqiu Pavilion." ”

Behind Zhu Chengqian, I saw the eldest lady walking slowly, with a smug and arrogant smile, as if she had won a game of support, which was inexplicable.

From cutting off communications at the beginning, to being completely under house arrest now, Fu Yi understands that his father-in-law's reaction indicates that the imperial court is rushing towards the bow of the Kishu Palace, and the strings on the bow have become tighter and tighter.

On this day and night, Fuyi was completely placed under house arrest by Zhu Chengqian, and the old lady intervened, and was also pushed back by her son, and almost locked up the old mother together, but fortunately, before that, she successfully sent a letter to Zhu Rong, everything seemed to be destined in the dark, not half a point.

Thousands of miles away, Zhu Rong received a flying pigeon from the capital two days later, and he wondered why the carrier pigeon he used to communicate with Fuyi was "requisitioned" by his father, and one after another, like a life charm, asked him to ask for the head of the prince.

Fortunately, there was also a letter, which was written in the handwriting of Fu Yi, which was the first time that their husband and wife had made their position clear, and Fu Yi begged him not to be threatened by the emperor.

The next day, Xiang Qi called Zhu Rong and handed him a flying pigeon from the palace, Yao Nian asked his brother to convey to Zhu Rong, and Zhu Chengqian was completely placed under house arrest, and even the old lady was almost locked up.

Seeing that Zhu Rong's eyebrows were condensed with anger, Xiang Qi persuaded: "Each has its own position, my father-in-law chooses to follow the emperor, it is his freedom, as for which way you want to go, I will not force you." ”

Zhu Rong said: "My father has no silver three hundred taels here, he has already messed up, the emperor has not yet made trouble, he first self-examined and self-destroyed, and clearly told the emperor that someone in the family is going to be in turmoil." ”

Xiang Qi said: "There is no war on the border at the moment, the Zanxi people will not come to attack for a while, if you want to return to the capital, just go, perhaps, you should go back and take a look." ”

Zhu Rong shook his head: "I'm waiting for Pingli's reply." ”

At this moment, Ping Lizheng and other soldiers were building tiled houses for the people in the village for the winter, and the villagers brought hot tea and dry food, he casually found a stone and sat down, and began to eat and drink.

The brother on the side came over, added tea to him, and said, "What do you eat in the duke's palace in winter, isn't it cold when the meals prepared in the kitchen are delivered in such a big house?" ”

Ping Li recalled for a moment that the winter meals at home were carried from the kitchen to the courtyards, and the road was warmed by charcoal stoves, or hot pots, and the lamb that had just been slaughtered was soaked.

In winter, he never felt cold, but was always so hot that he was hanging around in a single coat, and at this moment......

Pingli looked at his hand, he had chilblains, and just this morning, it suddenly appeared, it was painful and itchy, red, swollen and hot.
