"Song Nan, our affairs have been discovered by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother wants me to accompany me to the old capital of Nanjing to revisit, in fact, I want to stay away from the capital and have a showdown with me, and I want to stop communicating with you from now on, and immediately choose a horse to get married. The female officials around me, Hongying and Hongyu, have disappeared since they came to Nanjing, and I am very worried about their safety. Song Nan, I'm so scared, save me, help me. ”

It was a scribbled note, with a small thrush pen, the handwriting was light and sloppy, and there were some traces of water stains drying up on it, which looked like tears were shed while writing.

Song Nan understands everything, the reason why there are all kinds of abnormal situations is probably related to this matter, the East Window incident between himself and Kang Ning, this matter has been known to Zhengde nine times out of ten.

Generally speaking, if something like this happens, Zhengde will not spare himself, but Zhengde did not take himself with great fanfare, first, he wanted to act in a low-key manner to avoid damage to the royal reputation, and secondly, he was afraid that he was afraid of the military power in his hands. I am afraid that this second point is the real main reason, which can be seen from Zhengde's recent tentative words.

Song Nan didn't think about the possibility of the matter being revealed between him and Kang Ning, and he knew that this was always a handle for himself, but even so, how could he keep a distance from Kang Ning and not see each other? Moreover, from the very beginning, it was one of the goals of life to be able to marry Kang Ning openly, if he stayed away because of timidity, then Song Nan would not be Song Nan anymore.

The current situation is that the queen mother and the emperor learned about it, the queen mother left the capital with the princess and left the princess in Nanjing, while Zhengde was testing his bottom line, and there was a chance that he would weaken his military power, and then the situation would be difficult to say.

"The princess was trapped in the Nanjing Imperial Palace, but fortunately, our Jinyi Guard Yamen had a competent sentinel in the palace, found out the situation, and passed the princess's handwritten letter. Deputy Zheng Zhenfu sat in Nanjing to monitor the dispatch, and I came back to ask the prince to show me. Li Daniu reported in a low voice.

Song Nan nodded and said, "Have you found out the whereabouts of the female officials Hongyu and Hongying beside the princess?" ”

Li Daniu sighed: "I have found it out, and the brothers on duty in the Nanjing Palace understand that on the third night of the Queen Mother's arrival in Nanjing, two female officials were hanged to death in the Ziwei Palace in Nanjing. ”

Song Nan sighed, and the voices of Cui Hongying and Liu Hongyu appeared in front of him, although there was not much contact with them, but the two of them were the female officials next to the princess, and they were very familiar when they came and went, but they didn't expect that Xiang Xiaoyu had died in Nanjing.

"Don't be sad, this time we heard the name of an old acquaintance, and he was the one who started it."

"Who is it?" Song Nan gritted his teeth and asked.

"Valley...... Big...... Use. ”

"Gu Dayong?" Song Nan's memory of this person was already very vague, but he quickly remembered that after the rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi was suppressed, Gu Dayong was relegated to Nanjing, and a few years later, he heard this person's name again.

"Yes, the eunuch Gu Dayong, the former head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, was demoted to Nanjing, and his current position is the chief eunuch of Nanjing; This time the Queen Mother came to Nanjing, and he arranged everything before and after; Cui Shanggong and Liu Shanggong were hanged by his own hands with his own hands for interrogation. ”

Song Nan slapped the table, shaking everything on the table, and scolded angrily: "What a dog thief, I don't know how to cherish the dog's life if I save it, and I came out to make waves again, this time I must not go around him." Immediately called Wang Yong to come, and asked him to bring 500 guards to prepare to go to Nanjing with me. ”

Li Daniu hurriedly said: "What is the prince going to do?" ”

Song Nan said: "What else can you do?" Rescue the princess. ”

Li Daniu said: "How to save it?" Breaking into the palace? Besides, it is the queen mother's decree for the princess to stay in Nanjing, what reason do we have to bring the princess back to the capital? The princess was not in danger of her life, but she was ordered by the Queen Mother to stay in the Nanjing Palace. ”

Song Nan was reminded by Li Daniu, his head calmed down, the princess was just grounded in Nanjing, but there was no danger to her life, and the words on the paper said help me, I am afraid that the princess was extremely panicked after the incident; Now the most tricky thing is that since he knows that this matter has been known to Zhengde and the Queen Mother, how should he deal with this situation; It's actually the most dangerous situation in my own situation.

Song Nan slowly sat down and pondered, and after a while, he commanded in a low voice: "I really can't go, but the princess can't ignore it, go and invite Wang Yong and Jiangbin to come, I have something important to ask him." ”

After the second watch, in the study of the Song Mansion, Song Nan and Wang Yong, Jiang Bin, Li Daniu and others sat under the candlelight, Song Nan spoke in a low tone and explained the ins and outs of the matter, everyone knew about the matter between Song Nan and the princess, and today the matter was really revealed, and they were a little blank for a while.

"A few brothers, the only one I can trust Song Nan the most is a few of you, I can trust a few of you, if more people know about this matter, it will inevitably cause panic and unnecessary trouble." Song Nan said in a low voice.

Everyone understands that in addition to the few people present, others have joined Xu Tai, Sun Xuanhou, Dabiao and others, although they have also upgraded Song Nan's henchmen, but the relationship is not as good as the fateful friendship between Jiang Bin and Wang Yong and Song Nan, let alone Li Daniu.

"Brother, don't say it, I, Jiang Bin, wear a pair of pants with you, and if you fall, I won't have a good life, what do you say about this matter, I am not raised by a person if I frown." Jiang Bin said angrily.

Wang Yong also arched his hand and said: "My lord, the lowly duty has followed you from birth to death several times, which time didn't the head be pinned to the waistband of the trousers, and the lowly duty frowned once?" If you have anything to say, just ask. ”

Song Nan nodded and sighed: "This time is not the same as before, I blame myself for not being able to control myself, and making this tricky thing come out, the current situation is that the emperor is very dissatisfied with me, if it weren't for me, I'm afraid he would have done something to me, so this time is more dangerous than any before." I called you here, not to pull you into the water, Song is not that kind of person, and Song will not do anything against the sky, Brother Jiang, if something happens to me, I only hope that you can arrange people to be secret. Protect my mother, wife and children and send them out of the capital, and find a safe place to settle down, this is the purpose of my search for you here. ”

Everyone was shocked, Song Nan was going to entrust his family, it seemed that this matter was more sinister than imagined, and he and the others took it for granted.

"Brother, is it really irreparable? The emperor won't erase all your credit for this matter, right...... It's also incredible. Jiang Bin was stunned.

Song Nan said: "I will enter the palace to see him tonight, if the emperor remembers the old feelings, I will be fine, but since the emperor knows about this matter, there will be punishment." I'm only worried that the emperor thinks I have different intentions, which is the most terrible thing, but I hope it won't be so. ”

Jiang Bin was silent, what could he say? Could it be that if the emperor wants to kill Song Nan, he can't lead his troops to rebel directly? This is absolutely impossible. But to protect Song Nan's family, he must definitely do it, if Song Nan really has any accidents, Jiang Bin is bound to keep his family out of trouble, which is the only thing he can do.

"Brother Wang Yong, you immediately take five hundred guards to Nanjing, one of the purposes of this trip is to get rid of Gu Dayong immediately by any means, this person must be punished. In addition, find out the circumstances of the night of Cui Hongying and Liu Hongyu's interrogation, and be sure to find out whether the two female officials revealed anything that night. You all know that the dragon robe found in Liu Jin's mansion was secretly stolen from the treasury of Shangyi Prison by these two female officials accompanied the princess. trouble, Liu Jin's case is about to be overturned. At this point, if something like this happens, there is basically no way back for me. ”

Everyone knows the power of this matter, if Song Nan secretly the princess, it is not a great crime, but if the big case of framing Liu Jin for rebellion is revealed, all the people involved, including Yang Yiqing, Sun Xuan, Hou Dabiao, Xu Tai and Jinyiwei's middle and senior cadres, will all be implicated. And as soon as this incident comes out, others will definitely not let this matter go, and all the people in this boatload will fall into the water.

"Don't worry, my lord, the humble duty will definitely be done properly." Wang Yong promised.

Song Nan nodded and turned to Li Da Niu and said, "Da Niu, I will enter the palace to see the emperor later, you follow me and wait outside the palace gate; If there is news, someone will come out of the palace to tell you as soon as possible, if the shape is not good, you must immediately bring someone to escort the people of the palace into the camp of the Marquis Jiang, and then the matter will be handled by Lord Jiang. And then you have to do what you have to do, just remember that you can't tell half the truth except for a few people here. ”

Li Daniu shouted, "Son-in-law." ”

"Mark my words, I'm not kidding." Song Nan shouted.

"Remembered." Li Daniu said in a low voice.

Song Nan stood up and said with a smile: "Brothers, don't cry and mourn, I'm just taking precautions, things may not be as strict as imagined; I think when I was penniless, I rarely had such worries, but now it is different, and I have become more grinding. Ay! The more I have, the more I'm afraid of losing, and I'm not exempt from vulgarity. What about this matter, to put it simply, I secretly slept with the emperor's sister, and I just did what all men in the world want to do. ”

Jiang Bin couldn't help but laugh and said, "That is, can the emperor still kill you because of this?" Besides, you are not forced, the princess is willing, don't you want to send it to the door? ”

The crowd burst into laughter, but there was no joy in their smiles.

After sending Jiang Bin and Wang Yong away, Song Nan turned back to the back house and called Wan'er to change his clothes; Wan'er didn't know why Song Nan changed her official robe in the middle of the night, but she was used to not talking too much, and only carefully observed Song Nan's face, and saw that Song Nan's face was calm and no different from usual, so she put her mind at ease.

Song Nan finished dressing, walked along the back house path to the front of the Fuxi Buddhist Hall, stood and listened to the sound of wooden fish coming out of the Buddhist hall for a while, Song Mu's evening class would last until two or three minutes, and Song Nan did not go in to disturb. After turning around, he walked to the small courtyards where his wives and concubines lived and stood for a while, and did not go in to disturb the sleeping wives and children, and after a while, he silently turned around and came to the front yard.

Li Da Niu had already prepared the horses, Song Nan turned over the big black horse, and galloped out of the mansion with Li Da Niu one after the other, turned to Caishi Street, and went straight to the inner city palace.
