Because Aunt Zhou is a member of the Ning family, and she is also very clear about the affairs of the Ning family, Hua Zhen has no intention of guarding against her, so she responded softly when she heard the words: "My grandfather sent someone to send it, and my grandfather said that he would give the emperor a chapter these days, saying that he was unwell and was unable to suppress Cangzhou, and asked to return to the capital to recuperate, at most in January, and at least in half a month, let me pay attention in Beijing these days, and don't be calculated." There is also the matter of mentioning Xiao Shizi, when I was in a letter to him, I asked him to disclose the news of my return to Beijing to the king of Yanbei, and the king of Yanbei decided to call Xiao Shizi to come to the rescue and cooperate with me, so I can believe Xiao Shizi but not all of it. ”

As he spoke, he closed the letter in his hand and put it in an envelope.

Aunt Zhou willingly lit the lamp, and then Jiang Fu brought the copper basin, and when Hua Zhen lit the letter and threw it in the copper basin to burn it clean, Aunt Zhou gave the things to Jiaoyue, and said softly: "Then according to the current situation, Old Lady Ning believes Miss's words and wants to avenge Empress Renxiao?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded, in fact, the Ning family has always known that there is something strange about Empress Renxiao's death, after all, although Empress Renxiao is not in good health, it is only because of the handling of harem affairs, some of her spirits are not good, and she is prone to illness whenever she alternates between hot and cold, but she does not say that she will die.

That illness was so strange that anyone could see that there was something greasy about it.

Old lady Ning and Wei Guogong could also see it, but in order to protect the Ning family, they pretended not to know and were stationed in Lulong, Cangzhou.

The first letter she wrote to the Ning family after she was reborn was to tell the Ning family that even if the Ning family stayed in Cangzhou, the emperor would not necessarily let the Ning family go.

After the emperor ascended the throne for five years, the old lady Ning took the initiative to invite Ying and led troops to garrison Lulong, in addition to resisting the invasion of Western Xia for Dayan, and also to deter Yanbei.

Old lady Ning was able to make this decision, and the family left the prosperous and rich place of the capital and went to a desolate place like Cangzhou, but it was seen that the Ning family was highly meritorious, and the emperor needed him when he seized power, and he would be the first to clean him up when he sat firmly in the court.

So just take advantage of the emperor's move and ask yourself to leave.

thought that this would be able to protect the Ning family, but he didn't expect that something happened to Hua Yan and Empress Renxiao died of illness. The emperor wants to marry Yanbei at this time, if they really marry Yanbei, and reach an alliance with Yanbei at that time, naturally there is no need for him to deter Yanbei.

On the contrary, it is very likely that they will unite with Yanbei and deal with the Ning family.

Mrs. Ning was also aware of this, so after receiving Hua Zhen's letter, she decided to return to Beijing.

Now that Emperor Yan Wen has made it clear that he can't tolerate the Ning family, he naturally can't let others slaughter him. It's better to take a fight and avenge Queen Renxiao by the way.

It's just that Hua Zhen knew these words in her heart, but she couldn't tell Aunt Zhou.

I had to nod.

Aunt Zhou looked at Hua Zhen with a worried look, and asked softly, "What else does the county lord have on his mind?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Is there any news from the people sent out by the Star Pavilion?"

"Not yet, it is estimated that we will have to wait at least ten days, these people are scattered among the armies of the Quartet, stationed at the border passes, and it will take a lot of time to pass from the capital. ”

"Well, Aunt Zhou, what about the group of dead soldiers that my aunt left in the Shen family at the beginning?

When Empress Renxiao was helping Emperor Yanwen seize the throne, she once trained a dead soldier in the Ning family, and after Empress Renxiao entered the palace, these people stayed in the Ning family, and later the Ning family left.

Empress Renxiao had already sensed the emperor's intentions, so she did not incorporate these people into the palace, and the old lady Ning was not worried that the queen was alone in the capital at that time, so she left these people in the capital.

Later, I don't know why, these people are in the Shen family.

Now that she wants to deal with the Shen family, she wants to take back this dead horse first.

These people are the people of Empress Renxiao, and naturally they also recognize the Nebula Ring.

When she returned to Beijing, outside the inn, she saw with her own eyes that the dead soldiers who assassinated her were the ones who had been in the Xingchen Pavilion, and she thought that the people of the Shen family would arrange these people in the mansion to protect themselves, so they went in and out with the Nebula Ring these days, but they didn't see those dead soldiers at all.

Even in her previous life, these people only knew about the existence of these people when she married Zhao Tinglong for a year.

I can't help but wonder where these people have gone.

Aunt Zhou's brows also furrowed when she heard this: "These people should have been in the Shen family, the county lord may not know, when the county lord decided to return to Luzhou, the queen mother once summoned the Duke of Jin into the palace, and used these dead soldiers in exchange for the safety of the county lord, so that the Duke of Jin swore in front of Niangniang's bed that he would definitely protect the safety of the county lord, and Niangniang gave these dead soldiers to the Duke of Jin." The slave maid still listened to what the grandmother who came out of the palace later said, because she knew about the affairs of the Shen family, so she paid special attention to it, but found that after the Duke of Jin got this batch of dead soldiers, he directly took them out of the capital. As for where he went, no one knows, anyway, he has never seen it again in Beijing. ”

Most of these people were trained by Aunt Zhou, and even if there was no mark, Aunt Zhou recognized them.

Since she said that she hadn't seen it, she was afraid that these people would not be in the capital for a long time.

Hua Zhen listened and nodded: "Aunt Zhou sent someone to pay attention to where the people of the Shen family sent these people, what they were doing, and if they found out the news, tell me immediately." ”

"Yes. Aunt Zhou responded.

Seeing Hua Zhen raise her hand, she understood that she wanted to stay alone for a while, so she took Jiang Fu Jiaoyue and retreated.

For two days in a row, the entire Jin State Mansion was very quiet.

Because she was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to Hua Zhen, and she really didn't want to see her, Old Madam Shen directly exempted Hua Zhen from worrying about it, and she was too lazy to go.

I stayed in the Zhixiang Garden.

When he had nothing to do, he sat in the courtyard and read a book, except for Fluttershy, who was next to Shen Yuqing, who came secretly once at night, and no one dared to come to the door.

Even Shen Songqiao never came again.

I saw that I had reached the tenth day of the first month.

Early in the morning, Mama Chen, who was in the courtyard of Mrs. Shen, came over with a smile to pass the word, saying that everyone had already been invited, and those who had sent congratulatory gifts and some friends with the Shen family had posted posts.

I also invited the wives of each family, set up a platform in the courtyard in the afternoon, and invited people from Chunxi Hall to come over to sing the church meeting, and asked Hua Zhen to come over and sit down when the time comes.

Hua Zhen nodded, asked Jiaoyue to send Mama Chen out, and waited for lunch before telling Aunt Zhou to change her clothes.

Originally, the prince ordered someone to send congratulatory gifts, just to let people know that Hua Zhen returned to the capital and now lives in the Shen family, and he also named the county lord of Qinghe, just to want the Shen family to have a number in their hearts, and they don't dare to do anything to her.
