Chapter One Hundred and Nine: The Dead Soldier's News Arrangements for the Aftermath
When the prince saw that Hua Zhen was leaving, although he was still unwilling in his heart, he could only nod: "Be careful on the road." ”
"Zhen'er retired. ”
Hua Zhen was blessed when she heard this, and called Mama Cao and walked towards Chongwen Gate.
The Shen family's carriage was still waiting outside.
After waiting for the carriage, Mama Cao looked at Hua Zhen, but she didn't speak.
As if to see through her thoughts, Hua Zhen said softly: "Mama has something to say." ”
Hearing this, Mama Cao tentatively spoke: "Today, the Queen Mother proposed a family affair between the county lord and His Royal Highness the Prince, and the county lord is unwilling, why not refuse?"
"Mama should know what the Queen Mother really cares about, she just wants to know whether I have any intention for the eldest prince of Qin in my heart. I still have a year of filial piety on my father, and the Queen Mother mentioned it at this time, it is nothing more than a test of me, and this family business may not be taken seriously. Mrs. Qin Da Shao can't be an orphan girl without any power, how could the crown princess choose such a person, even the crown princess and concubine can't be casual, unless the emperor really intends to abolish the crown prince. But according to the current point of view, the emperor does not have the heart to abolish the crown prince, so this incident cannot happen. And even if the Queen Mother really has a heart, who can say how much can happen in a year. Instead of making the Queen Mother unhappy, it is better to respond first, and it should be regarded as coaxing the Queen Mother to be happy. Hua Zhen said that the expression on her face was always faint, so that people could not guess her thoughts.
Seeing this, Mama Cao felt a little regretful in her heart: "If the county lord can really marry into the prince's mansion, he will be a side concubine, and it is not necessarily a bad thing, the queen mother has a good saying, whether it is for the sake of the queen of benevolence and filial piety, or looking at the cousin relationship between His Royal Highness the prince and the county lord, His Royal Highness the prince will not treat the county lord badly." ”
Hua Zhen knew Cao's thoughts, and immediately turned back to Cao's gaze: "Does Grandma think this is a good thing? Even if you are the queen, one person is above and below ten thousand, and my aunt is happy for a few days. What kind of land did it end up with, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw his aunt's affection, he would treat me well. But since ancient times, isn't the most unpredictable thing the emperor's heart? ”
Hua Zhen said and sighed lightly: "I don't have any idea about that position, and I don't want to compete with a large group of women in the future. Vera said and closed her eyes.
Mama Cao knew that she didn't want to talk anymore, so she had to swallow her words back.
When they returned to the Shen family, Aunt Zhou and Jiang Fu saw Hua Zhen come back, and their faces were solemn.
Seeing this, Hua Zhen ordered Jiaoyue to stay at the door, and then looked at them and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hearing this, Aunt Zhou glanced at Mama Cao.
Mama Cao immediately understood: "The county lord and slave maid went to the kitchen to see if there was any refreshment, and brought it to the county lord to pad it first." ”
Hua Zhen nodded, and Mama Cao turned to leave.
When there was no one else in the room, Aunt Zhou spoke: "The group of dead soldiers in the Xingchen Pavilion that Miss asked the slave to find last time now have news, and those dead soldiers are now in the hands of the Shen family, if the news they got is correct, it should be the second master of the Shen family who took them to Tubo, it seems that he is doing something." It's not very clear at the moment, but it's certain that none of these people are in Beijing. ”
"Are you sure?" Hua Zhen frowned when she heard this.
At the beginning, she was chased and killed outside Yongzhou City, and she was the dead soldier of the Shen family, she would never be mistaken.
But according to Aunt Zhou, these people are not in the capital now, so how can the people who chased and killed them explain it?
Aunt Zhou didn't know Hua Zhen's thoughts, and nodded very firmly: "What my subordinates said is true, these people haven't appeared in the capital for almost half a year, and there are many eyeliners of Xingchen Pavilion in the capital, if they appear, they will definitely not escape the eyeliner of Xingchen Pavilion." ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded, she knew that Aunt Zhou would not lie to her.
Since these people are not in the capital, there are two possibilities, one is that the person who chased and killed her was temporarily transferred back from Tubo when she was about to enter Beijing.
There is also the appearance of this dead man, which may have nothing to do with the Shen family.
Thinking of the person who chased and killed him on a rainy night, Hua Zhen began to have some doubts in her heart.
They were just a few women, and if those people were really the dead soldiers of the Star Pavilion, they wouldn't be so laborious to deal with them.
But they only killed Zhang's mother and Ruoyun, but they let her escape with Jiaoyue.
A thought flashed in his heart, followed by Xiao Huaijin's unguessable face.
A chill rose from the soles of his feet, and even Hua Zhen began to wonder if he had laid out his own layout to lead him into the urn, or if he was a pawn in his calculations.
When Xiao Huaijin appeared, it was she who asked Mrs. Ning to reveal the news to Yanbei, but now it seems that she is only afraid that she will be calculated.
Aunt Zhou looked at Hua Zhen's face was a little ugly, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong with the county lord?"
Hearing this, Hua Zhen shook her head and looked at Aunt Zhou: "There can be a way to inform these people, since I am now the young pavilion master of Xingchen Pavilion, naturally I shouldn't ask these people to still work for the Shen family." ”
"These people were originally trained by slaves and maids, and they only recognized the Nebula Ring, and the person who possessed the Nebula Ring was their master. Aunt Zhou said with a very firm face.
Hearing this, Hua Zhen took off the Nebula Ring in her hand and handed it to Aunt Zhou.
But it made Aunt Zhou stunned: "County Lord." ”
"I'm worried that Aunt Zhou will run for me, and the meaning of the queen mother today is to ask me to move out of the Shen family. If I open the mansion alone, and there is no one around me who can use it, I am afraid that I will be dead in the mansion in less than three days. Therefore, I also asked Aunt Zhou to recall them, and by the way, find out what the Shen family is planning to do in Tubo. Hua Zhen said and handed the Nebula Ring to Aunt Zhou.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhou nodded: "Don't worry, the county lord, the slave maid will leave." ”
"It's getting late now, you can prepare today, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow. After speaking, he looked at Jiang Fu: "Jiang Fu, you go out now to find the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou and Guangjitang, let the shopkeeper go to Beicheng to find a house near the Ning family, buy the house with the gold rewarded by the emperor, and arrange all our people to move in, I should move there in a few days." ”
Jiang Fu nodded when she heard this, and didn't ask, just responded respectfully.
When everything was arranged, Mama Cao walked in with two plates of snacks.
"Dinner is not ready yet, and there are still some snacks in the kitchen, so the county lord will eat two bites first, drink some ginseng soup, and send it to the county lord as soon as it is ready. Mama Cao said as she placed the ginseng soup in front of Hua Zhen.
