The prince's face turned bitter, and he spread his hands and said, "Zhanji, why do you say this, have our father and son been suspicious to such a point?" ”

Seeing his father's puzzled and helpless expression, Zhu Zhanji hesitated: "Could it be that it wasn't his father who instructed Yang Dao to come out?" ”

The prince shook his head and sighed: "Of course it's not me, yes, I admit that until now, I still oppose moving the capital and want to move the capital back to Nanjing. Yang Shiqi is following my intention to move the capital, but no matter what, it is impossible for me to deal with Chen Yuan. ”

"What?"

"Judging from Jian Yi's report, as well as all kinds of signs of your imperial grandfather, they all show that your imperial grandfather has the heart of easy storage, but he can't find my fault. Looking at it now, Chen Yuan is the only person who can shake your imperial grandfather's mind, it's too late for me to win him over, how can I deal with him? This morning, just this morning, your imperial grandfather also said to me and your two uncles, tell our brothers that no matter who succeeds to the throne, don't let down Chen Yuan, don't I understand what your imperial grandfather means? Even if you give me another 800 guts, I can't harm Chen Yuan. ”

Zhu Zhanji's face was darker than the night when he heard this: "So, someone did it on purpose, who could it be?" ”

Zhu Gaochi also came back to his senses and said bitterly: "It is Yang Shiqi and Xia Yuanji who take the lead, and it is Yang Shiqi's son who speaks, no matter who it is, it may feel that I instructed it, if my father also thinks so, then I-"

"It's hard for Grandpa Huang not to think so, so the biggest possibility is the second uncle."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head: "Second child? It's possible, but, the third child, it's also possible. ”

"Third uncle, won't you? He has never had a heart. ”

"You, do you still think that your third uncle is the former grumpy third uncle? Last time, your second uncle Yue, your third uncle has a lot of credit. ”

"What?"

"It's a cold day, how did the fire start, this fire, more than 20 palace maids and eunuchs died, and the bones were burned to the ground, who is the murderer, how to check? can do such a seamless, at present, only Jinyiwei. ”

Zhu Zhanji's brows were twisted into a rope, and the news he got from his father made his heart even heavier. First of all, is this murderer really the third uncle's person? How powerful has he become? Secondly, how to stabilize the heart of the emperor's grandfather, Yang Shiqi and others have proposed to move the capital back to Nanjing, and there is no turning back from the bow, will the emperor's grandfather point the finger at his father.

The most dangerous thing now is the crown prince, the second and third uncles are on duty in the palace, and only the father is sent back.

"What can I do about this?" Zhu Zhanji muttered.

"What to do? Let's take one step at a time, the lonely prince, worried, lonely tired, and want to rest. Oh, by the way, your imperial grandfather issued an order to let Yang Pu return to Beijing, I don't understand more and more. ”

Zhu Zhanji pondered, and saw that his father was resting, so he had to leave the room in a huff, but he felt that something was wrong outside the house, and casually asked the little yellow door outside: "Who came just now?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the crown princess came here just now."

"Mother?" Zhu Zhanji was curious, and his heart became more and more strange, why the relationship between his mother and father became more and more rusty.

In Linzi, Shandong, Geng Cairuo and Zhuo Yuemei wore men's clothes, thick silk cotton clothes, but it did not affect the curves of their bodies. Geng Cairuo went to Qiongzhou to meet his mother and younger brother, who was 20 years old. She took them to Jingzhou for resettlement and spent some money to buy some land. Grandfather Geng Bingwen was knighted, but it was not hereditary, so there was no shadow for the descendants, and after twenty years of turmoil, the younger brother and mother became not much different from beggars.

When the mother and daughter saw each other, they hugged their heads and cried. However, after clearing the charges, it is worth rejoicing after all. They can leave the disease-ridden island of Qiongzhou and live a normal life in Jingzhou.

Geng Cairuo didn't want to take them to Nanjing, to see things and think about people, the scenes of the year, my mother couldn't bear to watch them again. After all, I didn't want to take them to Shuntianfu, and now they are exempted from charges, but that identity is still not very popular with officials.

In Jingzhou, no one knows, it is not a good start to life.

After a few months with them, in March, she said goodbye to her mother and went north. Of course, there is also Zhuo Yuemei, she has no relatives anymore, she came with her, just to see the brothers and sisters who grew up together before, and she was very happy to see that they were all okay.

They were passing by Linzi and wandering through the streets when suddenly a woman caught her attention. The woman was holding in her arms a chubby boy who looked less than a year old, crying so hard that he was in tears.

The woman walked hurriedly, patted the child's buttocks, and coaxed, "Good, good, my darling, don't cry, when you get home in a while, my mother will cook you food." ”

The child in his arms was willing to agree, and while crying and kicking, he was wrapped in a felt blanket to protect him from the wind, but at this time he also kicked away, which made the woman angry, but there was nothing she could do, but it was much more difficult to walk.

Geng Cairuo frowned, the mother and son were abnormal, and the word trafficker appeared in her mind. She was born lonely, and she became angry when she thought that if this child was abducted and trafficked, far away from her parents, and had a miserable end, she became angry.

The woman did not notice them, but looked anxious and hurried away. It's about to disappear into the alley.

"Stop!" Geng Cairuo didn't have time to think about anything, flew up, toe lightly, jumped over the crowd, and crossed the woman with his sword.

"What's wrong?" Zhuo Yuemei was curious, subconsciously followed, and then asked.

"There's something strange about this woman."

The woman was startled, and the child cried even harder.

"Y-what are you going to do?" The woman asked subconsciously.

Geng Cairuo pointed at the child and sneered: "This is your child?" ”

The woman nodded, and when she saw her fierce expression, she subconsciously shook her head.

"Is it your child or not?"

"yes-ah, no, not mine."

"Is it your relative's child?"

"N-no."

Zhuo Yuemei said angrily: "It's not your child, it's not your relative's child, why is it here that this girl hates abducting and selling children the most, recruit from the truth, otherwise, if this girl goes down with a sword, you will be dismantled." ”

The woman was so shocked that she almost sat on the ground, and kept begging for mercy: "The two girls spare their lives, the old man is an honest person, I am not abducting and selling children." ”

Geng Cairuo asked coldly: "How did the child come here?" ”

"Say it quickly, if you lie half a word, I will make you eight pieces with a sword." Zhuo Yuemei raised the golden dagger in her hand, blowing her hair and breaking her hair, and the cold light flashed.

The woman gasped a few times, sweated coldly, and replied with a sad face: "The two girls, whose old surname is Jiang, and my family's surname is Yang, are refugees from the northern Nuer Gandusi. ”

"What?" The noses of the two were a little pantothenic, and the slave was a god, and this word made their hearts tremble. I can't help but think of the descendants who were assigned at the time of the Jingjing.

"Twenty years ago, my family was a soldier in the official army, and then Jingjing, that is, after the current emperor ascended the throne, we all became sinners and were assigned——"

The woman spoke heavily, her forehead was deeply wrinkled, and her skin was weather-beaten like a veneer.

Sure enough, it was the descendant of Jingjing, the two glanced at each other, and the sword was quietly withdrawn.

The woman didn't know that the crisis was over, but she was very plain and bland, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her: "The slave is too cold, it's only been two years, my three sons are gone, one daughter is gone, and when I was five years old, my family was gone, and I was alone, without any relatives." Last year, when we came back from the Nuer Gandusi, we saw a girl holding her son and going to the north to seek death, and we persuaded her to come back. ”

"What about this kid?"

"Yes, this child is that girl's, I want to say it, she just went south with us, all the way, a few families did not speak, just a nursing child, but when she arrived in Linzi, she suddenly wanted to become a monk in Jinshan Temple, and the old body could not persuade her, but unfortunately this child, less than a year old, according to her mother, her father died, and now her mother does not want her. The old man was alone, so he thought, just thought about seeing if he could raise him, and he was good with me. Girl, old and old, she is definitely not the kind of heinous person. ”

"Wow-wow-" The child was hungry and screamed louder and louder.

Geng Cairuo asked, "Where did she become a monk?" ”

"It's the Jinshan Temple five miles to the left."

"Jinshan Temple?"

"Yes."

"How can this be reasonable, Aunt Jiang, you go with us, I want to go and see, which mother is so ruthless, tiger poison does not eat children, she leaves her son and doesn't want it, it is really unreasonable, I will teach her a lesson."
