Chapter 391: Tiger's Mouth
Shengjing in November, although it is not as cold as the north, it is also so cold that people shrink their necks.
After entering the city, Qiao Jinyu parted ways with Han Tingjun, and the two agreed to enter the palace together to visit Han Chengjin early tomorrow morning.
When the carriage arrived at Zhao's mansion, it was already dark, and Zhao Kuo's second uncle and second aunt were waiting outside the door for a long time.
After everyone got out of the car, the two walked quickly down the stone steps to greet them, and Yun Shi took Yan's arm even more enthusiastically.
"Sister-in-law, it's time to wait for you! Come on, come on, come into the house, it's warm in the house! ”
Yan gathered the cloak on his shoulders and followed Yun and Zhao Wenqin into the mansion.
Zhao Kuo followed behind the three of them with a birdcage, and Qiao Jinyu followed Zhao Kuo's side.
Steward Zhao beckoned Xiao Si and the others, drove the carriage from the corner gate to the backyard, and moved the luggage to the place where everyone lived.
When he arrived in the front hall, Zhao Kuo's second uncle hurriedly passed the hot dishes in the kitchen to the subordinates in Zhang Luo's mansion, and then sat down next to Yan's side.
"Is this way still peaceful?" Zhao Wenqin asked.
Now that Han Mingche is handling the government on his behalf and blocking a lot of news, Zhao Wenqin and Zhao Yucheng have done their best, and there is very little news that can be found.
Yes, what is the situation in the palace now, Zhao Wenqin is not very clear.
As for Zhao Kuo, except for the fact that before the team arrived in Shengjing today, Zhao Kuo asked people to go to Zhao Mansion in advance to pass on the message, and Zhao Kuo did not deliver any news to Zhao Mansion along the way.
It can be said that Zhao Kuo and the Yun family have been worried about how long they have been on the road.
I was afraid that Zhao Kuo would encounter something on the road, and they would not be able to reach Shengjing safely.
Fortunately, they finally waited for them.
Zhao Kuo took a sip of tea and replied, "I have encountered a few bandit attacks on the way, but His Royal Highness and I have already taken precautions and have not let them get any bargains. ”
Zhao Kuo said lightly, but Qiao Jinyu on the side was heavy-hearted.
Along the way, they encountered a total of three bandit sieges.
It's said to be a bandit, but in fact, it's just an assassin dressed as a bandit.
Even her, a layman, can see that the skills of those bandits are far above those who rob homes and houses.
The goal is also very clear, and it is simply aimed at killing people.
If it weren't for the deployment of her family general and her ninth brother, they would not have been able to sit here unharmed at this moment.
Qiao Jinyu is now basically sure that something happened in the palace, and her father was not simply sick on the couch and could not deal with the government.
It's just that tomorrow, she and Han Tingjun have to enter the palace.
Only by understanding the situation in the palace can they determine what the next road should be.
Yun Shi was shocked when he heard this, and his expression was in an uproar.
"Bandits? Was it an assassin disguise? ”
"Your Highness and the Empress are clearly asking for your lives!"
Zhao Kuo nodded, his face calm.
"Look at the skills, the people who attacked us should not be real bandits."
Long before leaving for Beijing, he expected that the road back would not be peaceful.
Therefore, even if he encountered several bandit attacks, he was not surprised at all.
The center of Yun's eyebrows is almost folded into a Sichuan character.
His eyes swept to Qiao Jinyu next to Zhao Kuo, and suddenly remembered something, and Yun's face was filled with heavy melancholy.
"Jinyu still wants to enter the palace tomorrow? In my opinion, Jinyu still shouldn't enter the palace. ”
"Just pretend that you can't get out of bed because of the cold, and lie at home for a few days."
"If this really enters the palace, isn't it sent to the tiger's mouth?"
