Chapter 156: The Third Token
The sky is getting brighter, and the morning sun is breaking through the window lattice, shining the figure that has not slept all night.
Zhao Chen put away the letter left by Meng Yong, got up silently and walked out of the door.
In the dazzling light, she subconsciously looked at the east chamber, in the early morning of the past, the figure who was too annoying to hang her voice...
She lowered her eyes and straightened her clothes, picked up the cold water in the courtyard and wiped her face, and called in a dumb voice: "Shen San." β
In the side corridor, Shen San appeared, and looked at her inquiringly after saluting.
Zhao Chen took off the black jade wolf tooth from his neck, "Hurry up and send this thing to him, let him... Come back early! After a pause, "Make an appointment with Prince Zhuang for me again..."
At this time, she completely suppressed the idea of going out of Beijing, and the best consideration for each other was to work hard separately-
β¦β¦β¦
Guanghe Garden, the second floor wing.
Zhao Chen sat crookedly on the soft chair, listening to the chanting sound coming from below, and playing with a broken copper token in his hand.
This is what she touched on the corpse of the "immortal", and it is also the third Taiping token she got -
The sound of light footsteps stopped outside the door, and with a flick of her wrist, she tucked the token back into her sleeve, and the next moment, the door was pushed open.
As usual, the person who came smiled at her: "My father was temporarily summoned to the palace and asked me to go to the appointment on his behalf..."
"It seems that my cousin knows more than I think." Zhao Chen's eyebrows curled, "Yes, then let's not talk nonsense, I gave the sincerity of cooperation, I don't know if Prince Zhuang is still satisfied?" β
In fact, what she originally prepared was not military power, but Meng Yong had already done so, so she had no choice but to go with it.
Zhao Hanqing glanced at her deeply, "Shi'an, can you really cooperate with your father regardless of your father's hatred?" β
Zhao Chen thought of Meng Yong again, and was silent for a moment before smiling: "The executioners are just on orders, and the people who really plan to kill are the culprits... Since Prince Zhuang also intends to rebel, he and Shi'an are fellow travelers. β
"Mutually beneficial, like-minded." She poured him tea with a smile, "Then what's not to work with?" β
Zhao Hanqing restrained his expression and said: "A meticulous killing situation, any link missing will leave a gap, Xiao Qingshan lost Yongchang, Liang Xu seized the border pass for help, Jia Fu and others transported fake baggage, cheap and burned..."
"Anyone is indispensable, they are murderers, including... Father. He kept staring at Zhao Chen, as if he wanted to see her heart.
Zhao Chen's smile did not decrease, "Cousin, you think too much, maybe these people have ghosts in their hearts, but if no one gives them a chance, they can only be stillborn and look up to the gods for the rest of their lives... including your father. β
Zhao Hanqing fell silent.
"Okay, these are not what Prince Zhuang asked you to tempt, right?" Zhao Chen leaned back, "I don't know what you're worried about, but I can tell you that I have no interest in what Prince Zhuang did back then." β
"I just want to know, who is that person?"
Zhao Hanqing replied to his senses and said: "Father asked me to tell you to help His Majesty cut off the old Trinity line, which is what should be done now..."
Zhao Chen's eyes gradually narrowed, and the hand in his sleeve groped for the bronze medal again, and the guess in his heart became thicker.
After a long time, Zhao Hanqing stood up, and before he walked to the door, he stopped as if he remembered something.
"By the way, there's another piece of news, the Lin family-"
β¦β¦β¦
"I've seen my father-in-law." In Lin Fuzhong, Zhao Chen bowed and asked, "Is seventeen awake?" The junior brought her some medicine and tonics..."
Lin Peng didn't say anything, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
Originally, he was still very satisfied with Zhao Chen, whether it was his heart or ability, it was enough to cover up the lame leg.
But now the people are not only lame but also deaf, and the people of the tribe have consultedβ
Zhao Chen smiled, "The junior just remembers the seventeenth and wants to visit, please let my uncle relax." β
Lin Peng avoided her eyes, sighed lightly and patted her on the shoulder, and then called the domestic servant.
"Why are you here?" Seeing that Zhao Chen was brought in by the servants, Lin Qiqi, who was sitting in the shade of the tree, asked.
Xiang Yiyi pulled her and ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, and the few of them had a normal conversation.
After greetings, Zhao Chen took out the badger and asked with a smile: "Great hero, you ran out of Beijing to catch the badger?" β
"No, I'm going to collect rent from tenants for my family, and I'll put a few badgers on my grandfather to warm his knees, who would want to get a prince..."Lin Qiqi said and laughed himself.
Zhao Chen looked at her still pale face, and asked casually, "It's not that I can't get used to him?" Why did you risk your life to save him? β
"He's the prince after allβ" Lin Qiqi said, his voice lowered, "Brother Shi'an, he didn't flee to the farm, when he met me, he drove me away, he... Not as annoying as I thought. β
She said seriously: "You were right before, maybe it's really because I'm too prejudiced against him, always thinking that he is full of asking for immortals, and he doesn't care about anything but his own preferences..."
Seeing that Xiang Yiyi didn't write as she said at all, Zhao Chen couldn't help laughing, and said, "I met my uncle just now, and it is estimated that our marriage is not far from Huang Tan'er." β
Lin Qiyi asked, "Why?" Aren't the dates for our big wedding set? β
Zhao Chen pointed to his ears and said, "Besides, there are good candidates who are ten thousand times stronger than me right now, how can your family not be mindful?" β
Xiang Yiyi's eyes moved, and he muttered thoughtfully: "Prince-"
"How can they do this!" Lin Qiqi was a little annoyed, "Don't say that our family affairs are already well known, just say that they haven't been rejected by the prince before, and they have to be rejected again?" β
Xiang Yiyi said softly: "That was before, now that you have sacrificed your life to save the prince, and you have a friendship of fleeing together, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Lin family..."
"Yiyi, you know, it was Brother Shi'an who helped the Lin family at that time." Lin Qiqi frowned slightly, "Now that they don't care about climbing the high branches, what should Brother Shi'an do?" Do you want to be dismissed again? β
She stiffened her face, "They are not afraid of gossip, but they can't make Brother Shi An laugh and be generous, right?" He has always been divorced like this, and he doesn't know how people will chew his tongue..."
Xiang Yiyi was silent, on one side was a friend, and on the other hand was a "matchmaker", she also didn't know who to think about.
Seeing that the second daughter had completely ignored herself, Zhao Chen smiled helplessly, and interjected pretending not to hear: "Seventeen, you don't have to think much about marriage, just let it be, and my reputation is not afraid of retreating." β
"I'm here for something else." Zhao Chen thought for a while and asked, "This time you have made a great contribution, when the dynasty opens, Your Majesty will announce that you will go to the palace to receive a reward, do you want to ask for any reward?" β
Lin Qiqi eased his complexion, walked back to the room alone, and came back after a while, but there was one more thing in his hand.
She put the things in front of Zhao Chen, and smiled brightly, "Brother Shi'an, this is the greatest wish of the seventeenth, but I don't know if Your Majesty will approve it." β
Zhao Chen relaxed slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, I will trouble General Lin to take care of it in the futureββ"
