Yang Su's trust in the emperor is justified, in addition to the fact that it was his own father, there is also the protection and cultivation of him in the first twenty years, and even the idea of letting him seize the crown is also clear-

Even if Changying hadn't heard it with his own ears, he could imagine that the emperor must have had a clear will with Yang Su, otherwise it would be difficult for many things to be done so smoothly with the emperor's cooperation.

But she's different, that's not her father.

Of course, she wouldn't say it, not wanting to upset him.

But what the emperor said was true, and sure enough, the Ministry of Rites was soon ordered to handle the wedding of King Jin.

Changying has been going to and from the guard recently, and there are many familiar or semi-familiar people along the way to congratulate her. Originally, Changying's errand as the commander of Teng Xiang Wei was because of Yang Su, Teng Xiang Siwei was a forbidden army in the forbidden army, and he was the emperor's cronies, and now one of the leaders of this cronies has become the emperor's quasi-daughter-in-law, and the first thing that makes people think is that the defense in this palace is safer.

As soon as she came back from a tour of the palace that day, Xie Peng was waiting for her in the official room. He greeted him and said, "Wu Zhang is dead." ”

Changying didn't make a sound for a few moments.

Concubine Wu and Gao Suming colluded with the officials, this matter is important, but in fact, it has not reached the point of asking for Wu Zhang's life.

"How did you die?" She subconsciously looked out the door.

"Suicide by poisoning."

Changying was even more speechless.

This is called the unclear death.

Xu Yao was ordered to go to Liaodong and had frequent contact with Wu Zhang, was it at the behest of the emperor?

And Wu Zhang did things for the East Palace, this time Concubine Wu was collecting money to cover up something, he died, is his death because of Xu Yao or the East Palace?

She looked at Xie Peng, and Xie Peng was also looking at her, and both of them didn't speak for a long time.

……

Changying went back to the house for dinner, and planned to visit Xu's house, and asked Tan Yi to invite Ling Yuan.

The Shen family is now also fully dealing with the adoption of the Ministry of Rites, this kind of thing is always not good for Changying to come forward by herself, Yang Su, as a husband, naturally can't send someone to help.

Mrs. Ling sent Ling Song over to sit in town, and at the same time, Ji Zhiyuan also volunteered to come, Mrs. Ling had no opinion, so she let the young couple familiarize themselves with how to manage housekeeping.

Ling Yuan was naturally flawless, but when things got to this point, he would often take the time to come over and take a look.

Changying sat in Xiuxiu's room for a while, and after hearing her talk about the profit of the shop, Tan Yi came back, saying that Ling Yuan was still a little busy in the military department, let her go first, and he would arrive when he turned back.

Changying thought about it, so she prepared a small gift for Fanzhu to take and get into the carriage.

As the Ministry of Rites has recently frequently coordinated with various ministries about King Nacai, most of the people in the city know that Changying is going to marry Yang Su.

When Mrs. Xu heard that Changying was coming, she and Xu Jinruo greeted her under the second door.

Later, Xu Lan, who was seeing the guest, heard the news, and also ended the meeting first, went to the main hall, and led him to his courtyard.

Xu Lan's eyes fell on Changying several times, and at the end of his restraint, he asked, "Has the wedding date been set?" ”

Changying said: "I don't know yet. ”

Xu Lan nodded, and said with a smile: "Someone from the Xu family in Jinling came, and brought me a few jars of good wine. ”

Changying agreed. Thinking that he was going to ask Xu Yao, and seeing him mention the Xu family, he took the opportunity to say: "Didn't the governor say when he would go back to Beijing to see?" ”

"My father is a border general, and it is not as free as us, whether we can come back or not depends on the emperor's reward."

"What's the situation in the Liao Wangfu?" Changying asked.

"I heard that it has calmed down." Xu Lan looked at the stove that was slowly rising and said.

Chang Yingtong looked at it and said: "Not long ago, that Concubine Wu in the East Palace, I heard that her mother's family only has an uncle, and she also serves in Liaodong, have you ever heard the governor mention this person?" ”

Xu Lan raised his eyes to look at her: "Wu Zhang? ”

Changying's mind moved slightly, and her face was calm: "I'm not sure if it's called this name." She only has one uncle, right? ”

Xu Lan put the pot on the stove and said after a while: "Wu Zhang is in Liao'an, and he is a little unclear about the mineral deposits.

"After all, my father has only been in the past half a year, and he is a military general, Wu Zhang is a civil official, and he has nothing to do with official affairs, but there are occasional servants sent from Liaodong to send official letters, I heard that."

Changying didn't ask any further. Xu Lan's words are inaudible, he said that Xu Yao has only been in the past half a year, and he has nothing to do with Wu Zhang, which is a fact, but it is also true that Xu Yao frequently contacted Wu Zhang.

In her previous life, she didn't know Xu Lan, she didn't know that Xu Yao worked hard for the emperor, and what happened to the Xu family in the end, but because the Ling family and the Huo family ended in the previous life, she was a little scared.

"Take care." She couldn't help but say.

Xu Lan laughed at her brainless words, looked at her and didn't speak. After a long time, the smile slowly retracted, and the gaze became deep.

Mrs. Xu came because of Changying, and got news from Xu Lan that Ling Yuan would come back again, so she went to cook Zhang Luo's dishes.

Xu Jinruo followed her to the kitchen, looked around but said, "Master Hou doesn't eat fishy." ”

Mrs. Xu looked at the scallops in her hand and turned her head to look at her: "You know again." ”

"The last time I saw him eating, he picked out all the sea cucumbers in the soup, and there were no fish bones on the side of the bowl."

Mrs. Xu didn't see that she was talking nonsense, so after thinking about it, she replaced the scallops with something else. He asked again: "Then what does your sister Shen like to eat?" ”

Ling Yuan came out of the military department, the sun was already slanting in the west, and he still wanted to go to the palace, but he was afraid that it would be too late to calculate the time, so he went to Xu's house first.

Familiar with the road, there is no need to wait for Xu Lan to go out to greet him, he followed his family into the house, and met Xu Jinruo holding a basket of walnuts under the porch.

Xu Jinruo stopped and saluted: "Master Hou." ”

Ling Yuan immediately remembered the appearance of her chasing the rabbit with a dagger, and looked down at her: "Hmm." ”

If Xu Jin saw him so serious, he wanted to avoid it. But when his dignified lord visited, it didn't seem like she left him to let someone lead the way.

Then he took the basket and cleared his throat and said, "Let me show you the way." ”

Ling Yuan looked at her, still hummed, and followed her to Xu Lan's courtyard.

Ling Yuan has long legs, and he usually takes a step out of the way, but at this moment, when she walks forward, he can't get up quickly, and his pace is slowed down, as if he is walking in a garden.

And the style of not squinting restricts his gaze, and he can only fall on her head in front of him.

She has two velvet flowers on her bun, fluffy, trembling with her movements, quite eye-catching.

It's just that the body looks stiff, and I don't know what I'm afraid of.

"Sister Shen has been here for a long time, maybe I've drunk a lot of tea, it's still early to eat at this time, I'll go and bring you some snacks when I go back."

Xu Jinruo stepped over the courtyard gate, and waited for him with low eyebrows on the threshold.

She clutched the basket and didn't want to talk so much, after all, it seemed as if she had found a way to talk to him.

But there was no way, who asked her to walk in front of him in order to avoid it, and she always felt like there were two red charcoals hanging on her back, and she panicked, so she could only pretend to be a nobody.

Ling Yuan glanced at her lightly, and crossed the threshold with a blank expression.
