Chapter 59: Assassination
It was another rainy day, Nie Xiaofan stood by the window, looking at the next day outside and the next stream. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Girl, there is a holy decree in the palace, and Miss Baozhu will set off on the fifteenth day of next month. Liu Yu said behind her.
Nie Xiaofan looked at the rain outside and was distracted for a long time before asking, "When will the eldest brother and second brother arrive home?"
"I said that I would be home in more than ten days. Liu Yu replied.
When Baozhu confirmed the marriage, her two brothers rushed to the capital non-stop.
"It's good... Brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for a few years, so it's better to come back early to get together, otherwise... As soon as she comes back, she will be sent to Liao, which is too cruel..."Nie Xiaofan looked at the rain curtain outside the window and said.
Liu Yu didn't answer.
Nie Xiaofan continued to be distracted, Zhou Qiaoqiao had no news, and calculated the time, now it was time to return. But there was still no news. The right-hand men around her have been sent out to do business, and it is inconvenient to inquire about some news.
She wanted to go to Xia Yue, but now the house is very busy with Baozhu's marriage. I had to wait. Or if there is any important news, Xia Yue should tell her.
Before Nie Xiaofan could go to find Xia Yue, there was a rumor in the capital, saying that the emperor was covering the orphans of Chengguo Gong and not seeing anyone, because he wanted her to be the queen. This rumor is like a gust of wind, but it is also thought-provoking. Taizu has an order, Queen Dasheng is out of the Zhu family, Zhu Yan is the only descendant of the Zhu family, if she is not the queen, what is the significance of the emperor overturning the case for Chengguogong?
As soon as Nie Xiaofan heard the news, he secretly shouted that it was not good, Mo said that Dasheng already had a queen surnamed Li, but no, such rumors could easily arouse the suspicion of the king!
What's more, Zhou Qiaoqiao is now a person with heavy troops, in case Emperor Chengshun misunderstands that she wants to fight for the throne... Isn't it getting into trouble?
Nie Xiaofan didn't care about anything else, so he wrote to Xia Yue to discuss, but he didn't reply for a long time.
As soon as Zhou Qiaoqiao's identity was revealed, he immediately went to the northwest, so the matter was confidential, and it was difficult for people in the court to explain. So he secretly suppressed the rumors, but the mouth of the people was more important than the defense of Sichuan, and the more the rumors were suppressed, the more people believed them.
The day of harmony is approaching, the Zhou family is busy, as long as you go out these days, you can see the people of the Zhou family running around as if the wind is blowing under their feet. The Zhou family is very strict, and Nie Xiaofan has never seen anyone stop and talk to each other.
Even though the house is busy, it also has its own granddaughters-in-law such as Pei and Ruan to take care of it, and Nie Xiaofan is assigned the task of accompanying Zhou Baozhu every day. This gives her plenty of time. You can take time off to take care of your business.
On this day, Nie Xiaofan was accompanying Zhou Baozhu to sort out the dowry. The two of them looked at a box dedicated to expensive jewelry, and as soon as Zhou Baozhu opened it, the jewels of the box shone so brightly that Nie Xiaofan, a wealth fan, couldn't open his eyes. Zhou Baozhu's biological mother is the county lord, and his father is the prime minister of the dynasty, so there are naturally countless good things, but the things in this box are not ordinary!
"If this is exchanged for silver, how many rooms will have to be piled up?" Nie Xiaofan asked, pointing to the box of wealth.
Zhou Baozhu smiled faintly, these things are just commonplace for her. "Actually, it's nothing, and it's rarely used on weekdays. ”
She is a compromise of resignation to her relatives. So the attitude did not fluctuate much.
"Speaking of the commonly used... When you get there, you must use the silver frequently, have you prepared enough?" Nie Xiaofan talked to her.
Zhou Baozhu said: "My father gave me 200,000 taels to press the bottom of the box. ”
"Can you bring more?" said Nie Xiaofan without thinking about it. As soon as the words came out, he felt abrupt again, so he said: "Although 200,000 taels is a lot, but... The mountains are high and the road is far away, and there is something going on... It's not easy to look at the Buddha at home..."
The implication is that you can still take as much money as you can, and the amount of money is not oppressive.
Zhou Baozhu pursed her lips, she has had no shortage of food and clothing since she was a child. I don't have much idea about money: "It's okay, if it's out of money, just write back and ask your sisters-in-law!" she quipped.
Nie Xiaofan wanted to speak and stopped.
Zhou You loves his daughter like his life, I believe everything will be arranged. She wasn't very worried at this point.
The two of them cleaned up their jewelry a little. After another afternoon of chess together, the atmosphere was harmonious, neither of them was sad because of the separation, except for the necessary moments, the two tried not to mention the matter.
When the lamp was in charge, Nie Xiaofan went back to his yard, but was told by Liu Xin that someone asked to see him.
Now Liu Xin is much more honest, she has the ability, and Nie Xiaofan gradually let her take charge of herself. The person who asked to see passed by her, and he could indeed walk in front of Nie Xiaofan.
Nie Xiaofan sat down on the circle chair in the study, and took a sip of tea before passing the person in, who could enter the Zhou Mansion and pass the Liu Xin pass, Nie Xiaofan was not fortified. But the man was a eunuch, and he was white and pure.
How did he get into the Zhou Mansion? Nie Xiaofan looked at him, but the man was a clever man. Said: "The slave lied that the sixth prince had something to bring to the ninth master of Jiuzhou. He said simply, but he explained it clearly. If he said that he came to Nie Xiaofan, he would probably arouse suspicion and speak more. But you won't be able to find Zhou Jiulang, and no one in the Zhou family will stop you.
"Did the Sixth Prince ask you to come?" asked Nie Xiaofan. "But what's the matter?"
Don't be a coincidence, Nie Xiaofan's face was calm, but he was worried in his heart. Zhou Qiaoqiao is not a peaceful character, if she is unhappy, it is possible to cause some trouble and trouble at any time.
"Mrs. Huijiu, the sixth prince has been assassinated. The eunuch said.
Assassination?
Nie Xiaofan was excited, and hurriedly asked, "Is there an obstacle? Who else knows?"
"Now he is in the palace. I'm afraid everyone in the palace knows. The six princes have an order to spread the news everywhere. The man said unhurriedly.
When it spreads everywhere, it is to tell the people who are loyal to the six princes about it.
"The sixth prince passed the ninth young master into the palace again. The eunuch said again. "Sixth Prince, I also have something to bring to you..."
"What's the matter, but what do I need to do?" Nie Xiaofan calmed down and asked. Since the eunuch is not panicked at this time, Xia Yue should be fine.
It's just that I don't know what bad things are holding back.
The sixth prince said: The capital is in turmoil, and if anyone gets involved again, I am afraid that there will be more trouble. Some people, I hope you can help stop it..."
Is it Zhou Qiaoqiao? Nie Xiaofan took a deep breath, stopping Zhou Qiaoqiao from entering Beijing at this juncture, I'm afraid something really happened.
At this moment, Nie Xiaofan couldn't be calm anymore, and said, "Got it, you can go back and talk back." ”
The person who sent Xia Yue away, Nie Xiaofan walked around the house, Xia Yue asked her to stop Zhou Qiaoqiao, but she didn't even know where Zhou Qiaoqiao was, is there anyone who can use it now?
