Since the death of the queen, the county lord of Yixing has never set foot in the Qianqing Palace except for the sacrifices with the people, and took Zhang Huixin to see Concubine Wuxian and King Zhou twice. This time when she learned the news of King Wu's hanging, she was just a person who sighed for a while, and did not ask to see her. It's just that Zhang Huixin was bored at home that day, Baba ran to the Yangning Marquis Mansion, and when he came back in the evening, he brought a letter from Chen Lan. It was this letter that she tossed and turned all night, and finally woke up her husband next to her.

"You've always slept with your pillow on your head, what's wrong with today?" Zhang Quan yawned lazily, and when he saw that it was pitch black, he simply took his wife over from the pillow, "I think something is wrong with you these days, the most refreshing person in the past, but now you are often anxious, and you are still thinking about the death of the queen?" ”

"You men, you are heartless"

Although this sentence was very blowing, but the old husband and wife for many years, Zhang Ming naturally understood the temperament of the person next to the pillow, so he sighed and said: "Relatives or residual sorrow, others have also sang, this is already an ideal situation, more is this head is crying and remembering, and the other head hugged the beauty, it is rare to have such a heavy affection as the emperor...... Speaking of which, it seems that you haven't been to the Qianqing Palace for a long time, are you afraid that others will say that you are a woman in politics? ”

The county lord of Yixing turned over at this time, sneered and said: "Now that the queen is going, the harem will fight to the death, and everyone will look at the seat of the middle palace, so that they can bring their sons up, and they will be the justifiable queen mother in the future." I felt disgusted when I looked at it, and I didn't know what to say when I saw the emperor, so I simply didn't go. I couldn't sleep just now, not because of this, but because of the letter that Hui Xin brought back before. Although Chen Lan's girl said it vaguely, I thought it really seemed like that. ”

"Oh, our future goddaughter?" Zhang Ming is casual, so he is not demanding of his children, and when the county lord of Yixing mentioned to him that he wanted to recognize a goddaughter, he almost didn't think about it and agreed, and after hearing about Chen Lan's past, he felt even more confused. At this moment, he asked with great interest, "What did she say?" ”

However, when the county lord of Yixing approached and whispered those words in his ear, he immediately fell silent. The husband and wife lay opposite each other, and the only sound of heavy breathing remained in the silent room. After a long time, he opened his mouth again: "Although it sounds like an alarmist, if you think about it carefully, there are really some signs like that." You should go to the palace tomorrow, when the emperor is upset, you, the most trusted person, can always persuade and remind a few words. ”

"Those who have just patrolled the night have already struck the gong of the fourth watch, where is tomorrow, it should be today. You are the one who wants to go to court, hurry up and stare at it for a while, and leave my business alone"

Undoubtedly, he drove his husband to sleep, but the county lord of Yixing still stared at the tent above his head with wide eyes, secretly calculating one thing after another in his heart, and he didn't know how long it took to close his eyes and fall asleep. When she woke up again, there was nothing around her, and the light had already penetrated through the green veil of the pasted window.

"County Lord." Changdi stepped forward to salute, and saw that the county lord of Yixing stood up with the bed frame, so he hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and said in his mouth, "The master is Yin Zheng's door at the moment, and when he left, he specially ordered you to sleep a little longer, and it was almost Chenzheng at this time." The young lady came to take a look, and saw that you were sleeping well, so she went back to the house first. ”

The county lord of Yixing knew that he must have tossed and turned last night, so it was rare that he didn't even notice that Tianming's husband left and his daughter came to take a look, and he didn't say it, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was old. After dressing and grooming, she had breakfast, she instructed Zhang Huixin a few more words, and then explained to a few generals If Chen Yan came, he would be practicing for a good time, so he hurriedly prepared a horse to enter the palace. Although she rarely takes the road of Dong'anmen and Donghuamen recently, she knows her up and down, and the road is naturally unimpeded. When I arrived at the Qianqing Palace, there was already a eunuch from the Qianqing Palace who was waiting there with two small firefighters.

"County Lord, just now the people below reported that you entered the palace, and the emperor ordered the little one to wait here, but you haven't been here for a long time."

The county lord of Yixing didn't speak, but nodded at the eunuch Cheng, followed him all the way in from the Qianqing Gate, and said some gossip again. Knowing that the emperor had not stayed in any concubine palace after the Hundred Days Festival, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. When she came to the imperial study in the backyard of the Qianqing Palace, as soon as she entered the door, she saw the eunuch Qu Yong coming out of the inside, and without waiting for her to salute, she waved her hand to signal that she was exempt, and then went straight into the inner room.

"It's been more than three months, and it's the first time you've come to Qianqing Palace, Ninth Sister."

The first sentence after the salute was this, the county lord of Yixing couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said calmly: "I have always wanted to come, but I was impeached first, and now there are many rights and wrongs in the palace, thinking about it, I only dare to go to the concubine Niangniang of Changle Palace, who has the least right and wrong." But although I don't come, don't forget, the emperor doesn't forget, the people who deliver the news never stop. ”

"Okay, good, only you dare to talk to me like this"

The emperor showed a rare smile on his face, and motioned for the county lord of Yixing to sit down, and then asked, "Then why did you remember to come to see me today?" If it was for Chen Lan, I had already given her a marriage, and I would send someone to the Yang Mansion to give her a gift after a while, and I would never let her suffer and be poor in the future. Without you looking at me, the Queen of Heaven is also watching. If you still feel that there is something that is not enough, won't it be her birthday in a few days, just say what you want. ”

After this joke, the county lord of Yixing couldn't help but angrily sneered: "The emperor said so, then I will simply empty your inner library, and let Huixin and her half of them go back, and I don't have to worry about them Ah Lan's birthday is the matter of me and my family, don't worry about the emperor." I'm here today because there's been a lot going on lately. ”

When it came to the recent events, the emperor's face immediately became gloomy, and he asked lightly after a while: "The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, these things are all gathered together, it is inevitable that people will not be at ease." ”

"It may be a coincidence that things are piling up, but there are some things that the emperor may have been negligent." Seeing that the emperor raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, the county lord of Yixing sat up straight and said word by word, "King Wu hanged himself, and the people or Taoists who knew him committed suicide in fear of sin, or he couldn't think about it for a while, but the folk rumors were that he gave death to the emperor, and he was only unwilling to bear the reputation of killing his son, so it was said that he committed suicide; King Lu was seriously ill, and those who knew said that he had been frail and upbringing since he was a child, and he was too weak to be able to win the wind, but those who didn't know it were rumored that the emperor was unwilling to sit and watch the Luo family become powerful with military merits, and then entered the East Palace, so the tiger poisoned his son; Even before yesterday's execution, Hou Jinliang of Dongchang confiscated a few hidden properties in his home, and there were many people who said that the emperor was sharpening his knife and vigorously eradicating dissidents. ”

Every time the county lord of Yixing said a word, the emperor's face became gloomy, and in the end, it was gloomy. Seeing that the county lord of Yixing had finished speaking, he looked at this cousin who had grown up with him since childhood, his most trusted family member and confidant, and asked in a deep voice: "The ninth sister should know that I have watched the fight between brothers since I was a child, and the last thing I want is to watch the flesh and blood of the tiger poison and not eat the child, how can outsiders say that I don't care, I am even willing to let go of the third child for the sake of the queen, not to mention that the eighth child, the Luo family, is powerful?" The power of the Luo family was cultivated by me, if I don't even have the ability to control the Luo family, I will be the son of heaven in vain."

"Sister Chen naturally knows." The county lord of Yixing simply stood up, and his title changed unconsciously, "It's just that the rumors outside are like this, and even the assassination of the two daughters of the Marquis of Dongchang was said to be the emperor's mastermind, plus those rumors just now, it can be seen that some people are sparing no effort to slander the emperor Think about the rebellion of King Wu at the beginning, and now it seems that there are a lot of strange things, and the cup of poisoned tea has not even been found so far, and only a few people involved have been executed." ”

"You mean ......"

Seeing the Yixing County Lord standing there and nodding slightly, the emperor couldn't help but squint his eyes: "I feel that the war in the north has ended, and the mutual market fraud case in Xuanfu Datong can be regarded as a clear investigation, plus the matter of the Great Rebellion is over, so I want to decentralize the duties of Jinyiwei again." Now that the new Ti Shuai has just taken office, it is inevitable that he will be overlooked."

The emperor who gave birth to a deep vigilance and the county lord of Yixing discussed for a while, but it was still difficult to determine whether it was the remnants of the brothers in the first place, or the rebel ministers and thieves with ulterior motives. After all, there are some other gains, and when she left, she had an extra pair of pearls and phoenixes in her hands, and she thought in her heart that Chen Lan and Zhang Huixin were one by one.

Thinking that the clever girl hoped that all the credit for this time would go to her, the royal lord, she naturally wouldn't say much. and that Yang Jinzhou, who ran an errand for the girl, but he didn't even show his face. This pair is really ...... It's not that a family doesn't enter a door.

After the Queen's 100-day Festival, the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital successively received an invitation to the birthday banquet jointly signed by the Korean Mansion and the Yangning Marquis Mansion. If this is the case alone, many people will be happy that Nahan will pass for a while, but when they look at the content, they see that there is also the private seal of the Yixing county lord on the payment, and they say that it is the main daughter of Yixing County. For a while, no matter what they guessed or thought in their hearts, almost every household ordered someone to reply that it would be there when the time came.

In contrast, Chen Ying, who is now in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, is the head of the Yangning Marquis Mansion, but he got the news almost at the same time as these outsiders. He could still hold back his silence in the yamen, but when he returned to the Qingxi Residence of the Hou Mansion this day, he was furious at Mrs. Xu, and then he didn't care about his young son Chen Ting, who was trembling with fright, and dropped the curtain to Aunt Luo's house, and said a sentence in front of Chen Xi.

"Luo Shizi, don't pay attention to it anymore, the guy who was played by women will have limited opportunities in the future, and several sisters in the family have been decided, and the third girl has even married the county lord of Yixing, and Xi'er's affairs can't be delayed any longer. I have taken a fancy to three families, you can inquire about it again, and settle it before the end of the month."
