In fact, since the time of Qianrao Pavilion, Yijing and Du Yuniang have met once in Shumei Building, learned the details of Li Jihe, and by the way, they also told Du Yuniang about the Water Lotus Nunnery.

But today, when Yijing saw Du Yuniang coming at the right time, she was still stunned on the spot.

Even the shopkeeper who led the way, when he exited the wing, he was puzzled, he originally thought that the person who met the master was the beautiful woman last time, why did he change someone this time?

If it weren't for Du Yuniang's stunned when she saw Yijing, she let out a chuckle, and reappeared her usual tactful and charming, Yijing almost couldn't help but ask—who is coming?

The woman in front of her, dressed in a plain white dress, wearing an inconspicuous apricot yellow narrow-sleeved placket, holding a simple round bun, only a peach wood comb on her head, and that's it, but her face is dull, her eyebrows are melancholy, the corners of her eyes are still messy with fine lines, and her lips are slightly bruised......

Where is the half-cent shadow of the eight hundred in-laws in Qianrao Pavilion?

"Wu Niang, after all, the slave family is a fireworks woman, she is used to showing her face, if you come here often, you can't help but be seen by the guests when you can't help it, the previous time was ill-thought, and this time I made a special trip to pretend to come." Du Yuniang explained.

"The girl is cautious, and the little girl is deeply pleased." Yijing heard Du Yuniang's gentle and pleasant voice, and only then did she really affirm her identity, and she was very curious: "The girl's skills in overseas Chinese clothing are really admirable." ”

"It's nothing, there is no shortage of rangers in Goolan Fireworks Alley, and the slave family has just learned some skin."

Thinking that Qiuyue could stumble Mama Yang for half an hour at most, Yijing didn't gossip anymore, and first talked about Zhen Mo's actions at the palace banquet, with a slight apology: "The two things that the little girl entrusts each other, the girl has already done it, but I promised the girl, I'm afraid it will take a while...... The accident at the palace banquet was really a bit unexpected, and the prince was also involved, so I really couldn't do anything to Zhen Mo. ”

Du Yuniang expressed her understanding of this: "Wu Niang doesn't need to apologize, the slave family knows that this matter can't be reckless, after all, she is the sister of the crown princess." ”

Yijing sighed: "What I promised you earlier didn't work out, but now I have encountered another difficulty, and I hope the girl can help her." Then he said about the loss of the jade seal by the three princes: "The three princes said that they were calculated by a maid in Qianrao Pavilion that day, drank drugs, and were stolen by someone. ”

Du Yuniang thought for a while, and then said: "I think what the third prince said is true, that day I followed your instructions and led the Zhu family to the backyard, and then followed in, and saw that the red clothes were still unconscious, and I was also very puzzled...... Later, the maid beside the red clothes disappeared without a trace, and her mother also reported to the official for this, wanting to find the fugitive slave, but she couldn't find any news, thinking about it, she must have been harbored. ”

Yi Jing frowned, she originally planned to find the jade seal of the third prince, so that she could exchange the eldest sister's hairpin with the demon, but when she heard Du Yuniang say this, she knew that things were difficult, but of course she still wanted to try her best: "I wonder if the girl has any way to inquire about the whereabouts of the jade seal?" ”

"Wu Niang, this is really a bit embarrassing." Du Yuniang shook her head: "I can't do it on my own, but if I use the Five Righteous Alliance...... You must also be asked to write a power of attorney, and you must also print the Spark bronze emblem as evidence. But suddenly thinking of that day, the gray crossing that was inexplicably crowded in the crowd, Du Yuniang raised her eyebrows.

When Yijing heard this, she was inevitably a little depressed, and she wanted to say that she would not be embarrassed by the girl, but she heard Du Yuniang say: "But the slave family suddenly thought of a strange place......

Yijing immediately paid full attention, but when he saw Du Yuniang's two frowns, he suddenly frowned deeply, and seemed to hesitate several times, and smiled apologetically: "But the matter involves the slave family...... The slave family also has to be a prophet to be gracious, and if there is a reply, it is good to tell Wu Niang. ”

Although he was a little curious about who Du Yuniang's engong was and why it was related to the matter of the three princes, Yijing naturally would not be embarrassed, and said gratefully: "Miss Lao, if there is news, just send someone to inform Sanshun." ”

Du Yuniang smiled incomprehensibly: "Or, it may be Engong who meets Wu Niang in person." ”

Yijing became more and more confused, but she didn't ask carefully, Du Yuniang said goodbye, but she didn't rush back to Qianrao Pavilion, but instead passed through Yihe Street, all the way to the inner city, she smeared a jade face today, and did not wear red and green, just like an ordinary woman, inconspicuous in the crowd, smoothly arrived at Chunlai Building, pretending to choose silk fabrics, but lowered her voice and said a secret word to the smiling guy.

The young man didn't move, and welcomed Du Yuniang into the back house.

After a tea time, Du Yuniang left Chunlai Building.

At this time, in the palace of the King of Chu, Yu Feng was lifting the curtain and entering the study of the King of Chu.

Behind the sandalwood bookcase, the king of Chu was sitting on the Luo Han couch, the slightly pale sky light poured from the window to his face, clearly reflecting the dark green under the eyelids, he was half-supporting the couch with one hand, holding the other hand slightly tight, placed on his knees, his eyes were closed, and he made a shallow snoring sound.

Yu Feng was invited earlier, but this time he was so tired that he fell asleep, which shows that he didn't sleep well last night.

Yu Feng looked sideways and saw that the stone green robe on the other side of Luo Han's couch was already half-old, and the silver patterns embroidered on it were slightly stained with the marks left by the years, and he could no longer wash off the color of the year, and his face couldn't help but be covered with a layer of gloomy sadness.

It was the autumn clothes made by the mother concubine for her father, and the father couldn't put it down, but since the death of the mother, he was no longer willing to wear it on his body, but no matter how carefully he treasured it, he still couldn't beat the time flies, after all, it was old.

Yu Feng took a light step, carefully picked up the big piece of fire, and put it on the king of Chu.

But although his movements were slight, he still woke up the King of Chu, and his snoring stopped, but he coughed a few times, sat up while rubbing his brows, carefully took off his clothes, and still put them on the couch with pity.

When he can't sleep all night, he sits alone with candles, accompanied by this old thing, so that he will not feel lonely and unbearable, but he will regret it in the end.

I can't protect my beloved wife, even if I live in this wealth and glory, I can't be comfortable anymore.

"Here, sit down first." The King of Chu's voice was hoarse.

Yu Feng sat down, looked at the slightly scattered sideburns of the King of Chu, a few strands of silver flying, and couldn't help but comfort: "Father, if you are sleepy, it is better to rest for a while, if you have anything to say, it is not too late to wake up." ”

The king of Chu raised his eyelids slightly, and when he saw his son's delicate eyebrows, he felt a pain in his heart.

Whether it is his bearing or facial features, Yu Feng is more like his biological mother......

"I didn't sleep well last night, no sleep." The king of Chu slightly avoided his eyes: "Yesterday, the holy lord saw the edict and talked about the matter of Tianchawei...... The dispute between the two sides at the palace banquet is said to be your strategy? ”

Yu Feng bowed slightly: "Before Senior Brother Wei left, his son discussed with him in detail, and that opera was made up by Senior Brother Wei. ”

Wei Yuan made the "Filial Piety Girl" along the way, as soon as he entered southern Zhejiang, he was spread to various Qinglou theaters by the secret agents of Tianchawei, and the people of Jiangzhou were already familiar with this story, and immediately connected with Zheng Naining, but it didn't take long for "Filial Piety" to become popular in Jiangnan, and Zheng Naining's name of Qingtian naturally spread, and the people were extremely concerned about his unjust death.

"Qin Xiang and Jin Xiang have become fire and water, and they have long been concerned about the affairs of Nanzhejiang, even if that scene is not staged at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, I think he will find another opportunity to attack Jin Xiang, my son's arrangement is just to advance this opportunity, after all, the senior brother has entered Nanzhejiang, in order to help him, he has to make the officials in Nanzhejiang nervous, and he will only show his flaws if he wants to cover the seal." Yu Feng said, still calm and clear: "Prime Minister Qin's request to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate subordinate to him get involved in it, just on the surface, attract the attention of officials in Southern Zhejiang, and help the senior brother act secretly." ”

There is a more important point, for the dispute between the two phases, the saint must be fair and strict on the surface, even if Wei Yuan finds out the cause of Zheng Naining's death and has the evidence, but he can't come forward, not even the king of Chu, and Tianchawei can't be exposed for the time being, so if you want to clean up Nanzhejiang, you can naturally only rely on Qin Xiang.

When Qin Xiang grasped the evidence of the crimes of the officials of Southern Zhejiang and Zhejiang who murdered officials, bent the law with money, and preyed on the common people, he naturally would not miss the opportunity to crack down on the Jinxiang henchmen.

If Jin Xiang has to deal with Qin Xiang's troubles, there will inevitably be other negligence, and the saint will be able to act.

"It was your advice that strengthened the Shengshang's determination to fight the Jin clan?" King Chu's expression became solemn.

"Exactly."

"Feng'er...... Do you know the risks? Although the saint believes in you and is determined to innovate, the Jin family has made outstanding contributions after all, and since the founding of Dalong, it has become more powerful, if you are a little negligent...... I'm afraid that the Holy One will be forced to have no choice but to let you ......"

The matter of officialdom is really unpredictable, even if the Son of Heaven is the Ming monarch, but once it involves the overall situation, sometimes forced to be helpless, and has to give in, just like the historical Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, bent on cutting the domain, but when the king of Wu raised troops, united the kings, in the name of "Qing Jun's side", attacked Emperor Jing's ministers Huang Cuo "encroached on the fiefdom of the princes, specifically to impeach and humiliate the princes, and did not treat the flesh and blood of the Liu family with the courtesy of the princes", launched the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, endangering the royal court.

Compared with Wu Wen's rebel Ligo outside, there are courtiers led by Dou Ying who jointly admonished him, and Chao Cuo, who advocated cutting the feudal domain, suddenly became the target of public criticism.

So, the Son of Heaven finally took matters into his own hands to "pro-monarch side", and beheaded the once favored ministers in the city.

A person's life and death are really insignificant in the face of the rise and fall of a country.

Yu Feng was originally a clan relative, so he didn't have to be involved in the dispute between the courtiers, but he had to be involved in danger, which made the king of Chu very worried.

Seeing that his son was silent, the king of Chu sighed again: "Feng'er, I only wish you peace and happiness, a good person, and a lifetime together." This is also your mother's wish back then...... Only in this way, a hundred years later, can I be worthy of meeting with your mother and concubine in Jiuquan. ”

Speaking of the deceased Princess Chu, the atmosphere in the study room became even heavier.

Yu Fengshang still remembers that when she was five years old, her mother suddenly began to cough up blood and linger on the sickbed.

July of that year seemed hotter than ever.

On his birthday, he stayed on the side of his mother's couch, and his mother wanted to hug him into her arms, but she didn't even have the strength to sit up.

"Feng'er, my poor son, blame me for not giving you a healthy body." The mother's breath is weak, and she still blames herself.

He always remembered the empty eyes of his mother, and it seemed that he could no longer see him clearly.

That sentence was the last sentence left by his mother to him.

Thinking of the old things, the corners of Yu Feng's eyes were slightly wet, but when he clenched his fists, he suppressed his sorrow: "Father, the son will definitely be healthy and happy, and he will also strengthen his own strength. ”

When he raised his eyes again, Yu Feng's handsome eyebrows were full of perseverance: "Father, please believe me." ”
