Chapter 404: Planning
Seeing Yue Zheng so cautious, Ouyang Shu felt that things were unusual, and after nodding his head, he followed Yue Zheng into the house.
It's just that he didn't expect that what Yue Zheng said would be so unusual.
"What did you say, send yourself there?"
Seeing Ouyang Shu's solemn face, Yue Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, according to the emperor's wishes, I will set off in the next two days." ”
If it was just to guard against the Northern Desert, Yue Zheng was not worried, but the emperor assigned three generals this time, then Land Rover and Qin Zhao were both close associates of the emperor, and the situation was not good for him to go this time.
Before, he was afraid that Lin Yanran would be worried, so he tried to keep things as simple as possible, and when he saw Ouyang Shu at this time, he expressed his worries.
After hearing what Yue Zheng said, Ouyang Shu's expression also condensed: "The arrow is on the string, it is a foregone conclusion, but before we go, we have to be prepared." ”
That's what I mean. ”
Yue Zheng nodded, and said, "There is another matter for you to come, you have someone to send a letter to the Anling Palace, and see what the prince is planning." ”
Because he was afraid of being targeted, Yue Zheng couldn't directly contact Gu Qingchi now. After all, the reason why the emperor did this was because of his relationship with Gu Qingchi, if he rashly met with Gu Qingchi at this time, I was afraid that it would bring trouble to Gu Qingchi.
Hearing this, Ouyang Shu nodded and said, "Big brother, don't worry, leave this matter to me." ”
The two discussed in the room, and after making up their minds, Ouyang Shu immediately left and went to deliver a letter to the Anling Palace.
For the next two days, Yue Zheng only packed his luggage at the mansion and did not meet anyone, and it was not until the night before he left that he met Gu Qingchi.
This time the conversation between the two made Yue Zheng's heart settle down a lot.
"The general just needs to act when the opportunity arises, and take care of everything. ”
Before leaving, Gu Qingchi looked around, and then said solemnly.
Yue Zheng smiled slightly and said, "The capital will depend on the prince." ”
"Rest assured. ”
After Gu Qingchi said this, he watched Yue Zheng leave, and then returned to the house in stride.
Although Yue Zheng's departure was not secret, it was not fanfare, because not too many people knew about it.
Early the next morning, he left the capital with more than 100 subordinates and went straight to the border.
His departure did not cause much thought in the capital, only the emperor asked, and after learning from the mouth of the secret agent, he learned that he had not met Gu Qingchi, so he put a snack slightly.
The person continued to stare and told Qin Zhao that if this person had bad intentions, get rid of it immediately. ”
After receiving the emperor's orders, the spy took the order and went.
The emperor sat in the imperial study, his expression was gloomy and cold.
The reason why he asked Yue Zheng to go with him was because of Yue Zheng's deterrent power to the Northern Desert, and secondly, because he was guarding against him.
Let Qin Zhao go, he can restrain the power in Yue Zheng's hands, and if Yue Zheng secretly communicates with Gu Qingchi, then he will act immediately and crush all the signs to death.
......
In the end, the emperor gave the prince some face, because he wanted to marry Princess Qingluan as a side concubine, so he lifted his grounding, but he asked the prince to beat him every day.
After experiencing the humiliation of the queen mother, the prince hated the emperor in his heart. is not only the death of the queen mother, but also the life of the uncle. Although the cause of his uncle's death was self-hanging, he just knew that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with the emperor.
This thing is not a big blow to *, the whole person is a lot of decadence, and it looks a little bit shaped.
Seeing that this son, who was once favored by himself, became what he is now, the emperor saved a little guilt, and gradually stopped beating, but really taught him the way to be a king.
The crown prince was lifted from the ground, but the second prince was ordered by the emperor to reflect on the palace, and everyone in the court was panicked, and no one could tell what the emperor meant at the moment.
Among them, Gu Qingchi is business as usual, and after doing his part well, he doesn't care about any superfluity.
Even if someone came to visit, Gu Qingchi also closed the door to thank the guests, and except for the handover of official business, he no longer saw the courtiers.
Compared with his previous high-profile, the silence at this time made those courtiers unable to understand the attitude of this King of Anling.
The wind is surging above the court, but the Anling Palace's mansion is leisurely.
In the past few days, Gu Qingchi has come back early every day, and when he arrived home, the remnant sun on the horizon had not completely faded, and the room was also dyed with a little golden light.
"Lord is back. ”
When he came back, Shi Miaoyu was leaning on the soft couch and looking at a book of poems, and when he raised his eyes to see him, he put the book in his hand aside, got up and walked over.
Gu Qingchi responded with a smile, handed Da Qiu to the maid, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Shi Miaoyu walked over with a smile, poured him a cup of tea, and said casually: "I'm reading the Book of Poetry, but I'm just passing the time with nothing to do." ”
"Thank you. ”
Gu Qingchi took the tea, took a sip after thanking him, and felt that his body was heating up. This tea is a mixture of herbs and dried flowers fried by Shi Miaoyu himself, which has a unique taste.
He couldn't help but drink all the medicinal tea in the cup, and then smiled: "You are so interested." ”
"Or else?"
Seeing that he put down the teacup, Shi Miaoyu also poured a cup, took a sip of the teacup, and asked: "The concubine is in the house every day, and she is really a little bored." ”
The ladies in Beijing would go out to get together from time to time, but she never liked them on such occasions, and instead of smiling with them, she would be in the house herself.
"You. ”
Seeing her like this lazy cat, Gu Qingchi smiled dotingly, and stretched out his hand to pin her broken hair behind her ear.
Because it was still early, Gu Qingchi sat in front of the soft couch, casually picked up the book of poetry she had read before and turned two pages, while talking to her.
"Yes, the concubine heard that the princess of Qingluan is going to come over and kiss?"
Shi Miaoyu didn't know about the things in the court, she didn't deliberately inquire, and the news she knew basically came from Gu Qingchi.
This time, it was because Yue Zheng left, and she went to see her mother, so she found out.
I wanted to ask about it before, but I forgot it when I came back that day, and when I remembered it now, I started asking.
Hearing this, Gu Qingchi didn't hide it from her, because he nodded and said, "It's already decided, she will bring the honor guard with her relatives to Beijing next month." ”
Gu Qingchi didn't expect this. The reason why he used Princess Qingluan to set up a bureau was just to calculate Gu Chengqian. Who would have thought that the emperor cared so much about petty profits, and for the benefits promised by the Northern Desert, he really agreed and kissed.
Seeing that Gu Qingchi confirmed this, Shi Miaoyu asked with some concern: "Then, will this matter affect you?" After all, when I first designed it, I didn't think that this matter would be successful. If it really happens, I don't know if it will bring bad consequences to Gu Qingchi.
Feeling her worry, Gu Qingchi's heart softened, and he held her hand and smiled: "It's okay, just let it be." ”
The emperor pushed the boat down the river, which didn't make a big deal for him, but it just made him feel unexpected.
"That's good. ”
Shi Miaoyu put his mind at ease, Gu Qingchi remembered something, but he was worried, and said softly: "You be careful, when that woman enters Beijing, you don't have to approach her." ”
That woman's heart was too much and vicious, and Shi Miaoyu had already planted it in that woman's hands once, so he was extremely worried.
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu couldn't help laughing, nodded and responded: "The prince is also relieved, the concubine knows." It's just that she can't help but smile in her heart, as the concubine of King Anling, this Princess Qingluan entered Beijing and married the prince, where can she not meet in the future?
If that woman is honest, it's okay, if she really plays any tricks again, this time she will get it back with interest!
......
As we enter October, the weather gets colder and colder.
The house is lit with good charcoal, and the cold outside cannot blow indoors, and the occasional wind chill is quickly engulfed by the warmth of the room.
Caihe walked in from outside the door, waved his hand, and saluted: "Princess, the carriage is all arranged, but do you want to go over now?"
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu nodded, put aside the embroidery pattern in his hand, got up and said, "Let's go." ”
She is going to Yue's Mansion today.
Since Yue Zheng went to the border, Shi Miaoyu was worried that Lin Yanran would be lonely in the house alone, so she would go over to visit her from time to time.
Especially these days, the weather is cold, and there are a lot of things that need to be purchased in the house, so Shi Miaoyu goes more and more diligently.
Although the Yue family has always had a mansion in the capital, Yue Zheng has hardly come back over the years. Although he said that he came back last year, he was a big man, and he never paid attention to the affairs of the house, and Yue Qiguang was used to beating in the frontier, one big and one small, and no one felt that there was anything difficult in winter.
It's just that this year is different, the Yuefu has a hostess in the first year of this year, and it will not be possible to spend the winter like last year. After all, regardless of Lin Yanran's early years as a girl at home, when she was in Yangyuan Bofu, although Qiu Yingyao held the power of the family, she didn't dare to bully her in terms of food and clothing.
In addition, Lin Zhou sent money and goods from time to time at this time, so over the years, Lin Yanran has hardly been wronged materially.
She didn't think that before, when the weather suddenly cooled down, she found that there were too many things lacking in the house, and the more she took care of it, the busier she became, and with Yue Qiguang, a little cub, making trouble at home, she was a little unbearable.
Shi Miaoyu has nothing to do at home, and will go to Yue's house every two days to have a look.
After arriving at Yue's Mansion, I saw that there was a lively scene at home.
Lin Yanran ordered someone to buy a batch of things, and now they are being carried into the room by their subordinates, and it is very lively for a while.
Shi Miaoyu just entered the courtyard, and before she could speak, she was discovered by Yue Qiguang, who was sharp-eyed on the side, and immediately rushed over: "Sister." ”
