Hua Zhen learned that she had instructed Jiang Fu to change her clothes and asked Aunt Zhou to invite Fang Fei to the Mercy Theater.

Only then did Shi Shiran go downstairs, Fang Fei looked at Hua Zhen, and immediately saluted respectfully: "The slave has seen the county lord of Qinghe." ”

"What's the matter with the concubine?" Hua Zhen sat down on the soft collapse on the side when she heard this, and then looked at Fang Fei.

Seeing that Fang Fei's eyes were a little dignified, she shook her head: "It's not that there is something wrong with the noble concubine, Niangniang asked me to come today to tell the county lord a message that the emperor intends to pardon King Qi's sins and let him make meritorious contributions." ”

Hearing Fang Fei's words, Hua Zhen's face suddenly changed, looking at Fang Fei's eyes full of disbelief, Fang Fei obviously felt that this matter was really incredible.

The crime committed by King Qi at the beginning was not an ordinary thing, it was to frame the prince for raising troops privately with the intention of rebellion, this is the crime of the nine clans of Zhulian, the emperor only punished King Qi alone, and even the family members of King Qi's mansion were not implicated.

But it is no small matter to forgive him for his sins.

As if knowing the shock in Hua Zhen's heart, Fang Fei didn't wait for her to ask and immediately said: "This is what the noble concubine Niangniang heard the emperor talk about at night last year, looking at the emperor's appearance, it seems that King Qi is his blood and blood after all, and he is afraid that he will suffer a lot if he is so out, just give a good warning, there is really no need to kill them all." ”

After speaking, the look in his eyes was very complicated.

has always been the most ruthless emperor's family, if the emperor said that he would cut Zhao Ting with a thousand knives, everyone would not feel anything unusual.

Such a loving father's appearance is really unacceptable, this is not at all the mercy that an emperor would have, it has never been since ancient times, not to mention that the emperor of Dayan can even be ruthless with his own wife, but now because he feels sorry for his son's hardship, he wants to forgive his sins, which is really unbelievable.

Hua Zhen naturally didn't believe that Emperor Yan Wen said such things because he felt sorry for Zhao Ting.

But she understood that Qin Guifei must have confirmed the news, so that Fang Fei would leave the palace early in the morning to deliver the letter.

It seems that I am afraid that something will happen in the palace.

Thinking in his heart, he immediately asked: "Then the noble concubine can say it, when does the emperor plan to let King Qi return to Beijing?"

"The concubine said that the emperor mentioned that His Royal Highness King Qi is now seriously injured, and he has been ordered to be sent back to King Qi's mansion to recuperate. ”

"Is he injured?, how was he injured?" Hua Zhen frowned slightly when she heard this.

I had only met Zhao Ting, and at that time there were many people around him guarding him, except for a little more anger in his eyebrows, he didn't look injured at all.

I'm afraid that this injury is just an excuse, a cover.

Fang Fei shook her head when she heard this: "The emperor didn't say it, so the concubine didn't know, because King Qi sent someone to assassinate the county lord, so the concubine Niangniang was worried that King Qi would be unfavorable to the county lord, so she asked the slave to come over and tell the county lord to beware of King Qi." ”

Hua Zhen understood what Qin Guifei meant, and knew that she was a little worried that she was thinking about King Qi's assassination of Wei Zhen in the first place.

nodded, and said softly: "Please ask Aunt Fang Fei to go back and help tell Qin Guifei, please ask Guifei Niangniang to do a favor and check one thing." ”

"But what about King Qi?" Fang Fei immediately asked.

Hua Zhen shook her head: "Please ask the concubine Niangniang to help you check, when I copied the scriptures in the Queen Mother's palace yesterday, who left the palace and went to the Dongjun Palace" to deliver a letter." ”

Fang Fei was puzzled when she heard this, she really didn't know, now that King Qi was going back to Beijing, why did Hua Zhen still find out who sent the letter to the Dongjun Palace. It's not that this matter is very important, but he is puzzled in his heart, but he doesn't say it.

Seeing Hua Zhen's order, he nodded: "Don't worry, the county lord will definitely tell the concubine." ”

After saying that, he was blessed and sent out of the door by Aunt Zhou herself.

Seeing Hua Zhen's frowns, Jiang Fu couldn't help but ask: "County Lord, the top priority at the moment is not to investigate the matter of the Duke of Jin and King Qi, how can the county lord ask Qin Guifei to find out who sent the letter to the Dongjun Palace? Isn't this matter very important?"

Hua Zhen glanced at Jiang Fu when she heard this, and then sighed lightly: "I just vaguely feel that these things are a little involved, and I am very puzzled in my heart. ”

Saying that, he instructed Jiang Fu: "You send someone to send a letter to Grandfather Ning, tell Grandfather Ning, and see what his old man says." ”

After speaking, he told Aunt Zhou that the people in the courtyard must be strictly guarded, Zhao Ting first wanted her life, and then took her away.

Regardless of whether it was a ploy or not, she had to guard against it.

Qin Guifei is right to be worried, now that Zhao Ting is back, she can't say that she wants to find trouble with Hua Zhen.

It's better to be more guarded.

Aunt Zhou knew the seriousness of the matter, so she immediately nodded solemnly, and ordered someone to bring breakfast, while she went to find Lu Wei and told the people who were waiting in the house.

Now the people serving in the county lord's mansion are all drawn from the Xingchen Pavilion, and naturally they are not the people sent by the Shen family at the beginning.

Aunt Zhou and Lu Wei ordered to go down, and they were all very careful, for fear that someone would take advantage of the loophole and hurt Hua Zhen.

Waiting for the afternoon, Wei Guogong and the crown prince came to the door together.

Hua Zhen was about to go out, when she saw the prince and Wei Guogong coming in, she had to smile and welcome people to the Baishi Tower.

Min Min had lunch and was taking a walk to eat, listening to the movement here, he immediately came over to see the excitement, just face to face with the prince.

Immediately, he was a little embarrassed, and he wanted to retreat again, but he was stopped by the prince: "Zhen'er, who is this?"

Looking at Xia Zhu following and serving, whether it was the prince or Wei Guogong, they all knew that this woman was not an ordinary person, otherwise Hua Zhen would not have asked the maids around her to follow and serve.

But I have never heard of any distinguished guests from the county lord's mansion, and I am immediately puzzled.

Hua Zhen introduced softly: "This is Princess Minmin of Tubo, a few days ago, the nightingale and the vulture went out to run errands, and met Princess Minmin in the suburbs of Beijing and was injured, so she brought people back. ”

Hearing that Wei Guogong was fine, he didn't think much about it, but the prince's eyes were suddenly full of disbelief.

"She is the princess Minmin of Tibet? Who is that one in the palace?" The Tubo delegation arrived in the capital yesterday, and this time the emperor specially asked the prince to entertain all the princes and the Fanbang delegation.

The crown prince personally received the Tibetan mission, and naturally met the princess Minmin.

There are two people in front of me, and I am very puzzled.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen looked at Min Min and did not speak.

Seeing Min Min, his face was suddenly full of displeasure: "Who else can it be, it's a fake Tubo princess!"

The words suddenly shocked the prince and looked at Hua Zhen.

Wei Guogong on the side also looked puzzled, and Hua Zhen sighed lightly.

"Princess Min Min was assassinated in the capital and was injured by her own henchmen, and the people of the mission thought that the princess was dead, so they asked people to impersonate her, trying to confuse the real with the fake. ”

Hearing this, the prince thought of the significance of Princess Minmin's entry into Beijing this time, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

She came to kiss this time, and she said that she was going to enter the palace as a concubine, and if she was replaced by someone who was fake and real, it was not a trivial matter.

Suddenly gasped: "What do they want to do?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen beckoned Wei Guogong and the crown prince to sit down, and then said softly: "What they want to do now, no one knows, the only thing that is clear is that Princess Min Min in the palace is fake." ”

Wei Guogong and the crown prince's expressions suddenly flickered a little, and they looked at Min Min, who followed in, but did not speak.

Hua Zhen saw the doubts in their eyes, and immediately smiled and said, "Cousin and the prince can rest assured, this is the real Princess Minmin, and there will be no mistake." ”

"How is Zhen'er sure?" Wei Guogong didn't say anything when he heard this, but the prince asked with some disbelief.

Min Min was questioned, and he was immediately a little displeased: "I have a way to prove that I am true, and the prince doesn't believe it." ”

Hearing this, the prince immediately smiled and said: "Don't misunderstand, princess, I'm just curious, Zhen'er has been in the capital, how can she know the princess, there is no other meaning." ”

Princess Minmin knew what he said, but it was perfunctory, and she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "If the prince is worried that I will deceive Zhen'er, don't worry, my Tubo people are not as calculating as you Dayan people, we don't have so many hearts, Zhen'er saved my life, and I will never take revenge." ”

The prince was immediately very embarrassed when he heard this, and looking at the displeasure on Minmin's face, he could only touch his nose with a smile.

Min Min also seemed to be unhappy, and when she saw Lu Wei going out, she immediately said to Hua Zhen: "Zhen'er, I just ate too much snack, go out to eliminate food." ”

As he spoke, he took Xia Zhu out of the door of the Baishi Tower.

Suddenly made Hua Zhen cry and laugh, if she hadn't known Minmin's temperament for a long time, I was afraid that she would feel a little rude.

He could only smile at the prince and said: "The princess has a straightforward personality, if there is anything offensive to the prince, please don't be surprised by the prince." ”

The prince shook his head with a smile when he heard this, but looked at Hua Zhen but it was very meaningful: "Zhen'er seems to be very tolerant of her, and she is even more kind than my cousin." ”

Hua Zhen paused when she heard this, and then said with a smile: "I'm afraid the prince has misunderstood." ”

Wei Guogong on the side saw the deep meaning in the prince's eyes, and was afraid that he would be too entangled in this, so he immediately changed the topic: "Zhen'er, you sent someone to come to the news from the palace in the morning, Zhao Ting has returned to King Qi's mansion, is it true?"

Hearing Wei Guogong mention Zhao Ting, the prince came back to his senses, frowned slightly, and looked at Hua Zhen's eyes very solemnly.

When Fang Fei came to tell her the news in the morning, Hua Zhen knew that the prince would come, so at this moment, when Wei Guogong mentioned it, he nodded immediately.

"The prince should have sent someone to verify this matter, and my cousin should have asked the prince. ”

The prince did not shy away from hearing this, and immediately said: "Yes, I have sent someone to the Qi Wangfu to investigate, saying that he came back last night, and was carried into the Qi Wangfu, covered in blood, and his father ordered the emperor to go for diagnosis and treatment, but it has not come out yet, and the news from the Qi Wangfu has said that Zhao Ting is afraid that he will die this time." ”
