This three-storey luxury boat is equipped with a royal kitchen, and there are special chefs who usually prepare meals for them.

Chen Chong came to the back kitchen of the boat, in addition to seeing some Jiangnan pastries, he also found fresh fruits and vegetables, he asked the cook for some fruits, vegetables and pastries, and he brought them to Lin Qingran.

Dangdang, Chen Chong knocked on her door.

Lin Qingran had just eaten lunch and was about to take a break when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Who could it be? She walked over and opened the door, and saw Chen Chong standing in front of her with some fruits, vegetables and pastries.

It turned out that it was to bring her food, strange? Didn't he send someone to send it on weekdays? Just as she was thinking about it, Chen Chong walked in directly with something.

"These are some fruits, vegetables, and pastries, all of which are unique to Jiangnan, and you should like them." Chen Chong said as he put down his things.

Lin Qingran looked at these foods, and didn't quite understand his intentions, "Then thank you, it's really heartfelt." ”

Chen Chong saw that Lin Qingran didn't have the idea of rushing him, so he sat down.

"Miss Lin is from Beijing." He asked first.

"Yes, I was born in the capital, but my ancestral home is Xinzhou." She said.

"Well, I heard from the little marquis that Miss Lin's father was originally a scholar of the Ministry of Rites."

It turns out that this Chen Chong is here to inquire about the news, no wonder...... "That's all in the past." With that, Lin Qingran also sat down.

"Miss Nalin should also know some people from the capital." Since she is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I think she may have something to do with it in the capital.

"My father was dismissed from his official position, and even if he knew him, he would not be able to enter Beijing again." She told the truth and wanted to dispel the idea of them taking her to the capital.

"Miss Lin, don't worry, these things can be solved by the little marquis." Hearing that Lin Qingran had the idea of leaving, Chen Chong wanted to stabilize her first.

Just as she was thinking about how to refuse, she heard Chen Chong say, "Did Miss Lin have some misunderstanding with the little marquis last night?" ”

"Misunderstanding? I'm not mistaken, you go and ask that Li Mingyuan! Hearing Chen Chong mention last night's incident, she instantly became excited, "I...... I thought I saw him like that night, thought that he was fine, didn't want to worry about the previous things with him, and wanted to make friends with him, but what did he say? How can I, a little marquis, be friends with you! It's too much! This man! ”

After listening to this, Chen Chong didn't understand why the little marquis said this, and at the same time understood that the little marquis wanted to apologize to her because of what he said last night, "Little marquis...... I don't usually have any friends, so I don't know how to make friends. "In addition to staying with a few of them, the little marquis usually has no other friends.

Lin Qingran thought about it, this Li Mingyuan is a relative of the emperor, and no one wants to be friends with him at all, and it is normal for him to react like that.

"Okay, is there anything else?" Forget it, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

"Wait a while, there is a discussion about entering Beijing, and I hope Miss Lin can come to participate." Chen Chong said the key point of this visit.

"Got it...... I'll be over in a moment. "It's better to settle his affairs first, and then find a chance to escape.

"Then there's Miss Laurin, so I'll go first." Chen Chong saw that Lin Qingran agreed, got up and left.

After Chen Chong left from Lin Qingran, he went to report to the little marquis.

"Little Marquis, Miss Lin promised to come over in a while."

"And she...... Did you say anything? Li Mingyuan asked uneasily.

"She doesn't seem to want to go to Beijing, and she wants to leave." Chen Chong said.

Could it be that what he said last night made her want to leave?

"Okay, I got it." Li Mingyuan paused for a while, and then said, "By the way, let's call Shang Jing later." "If there is a business scene, will she want to stay?

"Yes."

At the end of the day, after everyone had arrived, Li Mingyuan was ready to start discussing the next matters of entering Beijing.

"After arriving in Huizhou tomorrow, I will be ready to enter Beijing. Nowadays, I don't know what the capital is like. He said with a little concern.

"Little Marquis, when I was in Yangzhou City, that Feng Yun said that he offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and I don't know who this person will be?" Chen Chong said.

When Li Mingyuan heard Chen Chong mention this matter, he was also quite worried.

Liu Wei answered very quickly, "This shouldn't be offended, but also offended, little marquis, I think, just don't do anything, just show the evidence to the emperor directly, and sue the emperor." ”

"No, if this matter gets bigger, they jump off the wall in a hurry, which is not good for us." Li Mingyuan didn't want to make a big deal about it.

Lin Qingran was surprised to find out that Shang Jing was also present at today's meeting, and at the same time she was also thinking about how to get out as soon as possible.

"Now the biggest one in the capital is the emperor, and then there are the emperor's right and left hands, Wu Taifu and Liang Taishi." Lin Qingran said, "Isn't your second sister married to Mrs. Wu's youngest son, so she shouldn't be able to deal with you." Then there is only Taishi Liang, maybe the person behind this Jiangnan salt envoy is Taishi Liang. "When her father was killed, it is also very likely that Taishi Liang was behind it.

"Master Liang?" Li Mingyuan was not very familiar with this person.

"Well, Taishi Liang also has a younger sister who is the current queen. This Empress Liang only had three daughters and no sons, so she was not favored. She sighed in her heart, alas, since ancient times, men have been in power, what is the use of this woman's ability.

"You know quite a bit!" Liu Wei said.

Back then, as the prince's accompaniment, she was naturally more aware of some things in the palace.

"Now, you have offended Master Liang, if no one in the court helps you, even if the emperor does not kill you, you will not be able to protect yourself." She continued.

"Little Hou Ye, what should we do now?" Chen Chong asked worriedly.

"So, you have to find someone who can help you speak in the court and protect you."

"And who is this man?" Li Mingyuan asked.

"Mrs. Wu has a daughter, who is the imperial concubine, and Wu Guifei has a son, who is the crown prince of the dynasty. If Mrs. Wu and the prince can protect you together, it will naturally be fine! Lin Qingran couldn't remember what he and the prince were like before.

She thought to herself, I'll help you get here, and with the prince and Mrs. Wu to help you in the future, I can leave.

"However, I wrote a letter to my second sister and expressed some intention to cooperate, but Mrs. Wu did not reply to me with any information." Li Mingyuan and Mrs. Wu don't have much contact on weekdays.

"That's nature, you...... In case of rebellion, this is against his grandson's world, how can he help you. ”

"I have no intention of rebelling, can you speak decently."

"Why am I indecent? Isn't that the truth what I'm talking about? ”

"Yes...... But. ”

Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, the others also looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, good, it's all right, it's all right." Li Mingyuan didn't want to argue with her at this time.

"So, you have to go over and tell Mrs. Wu your sincerity in person, and promise not to rebel, and express your determination to cooperate with the prince." Lin Qingran continued.

"But now that Mrs. Wu is in the capital, then I can only see him after entering Beijing, and I will go to see the emperor as soon as I go to the capital, and then I will have the opportunity to see Mrs. Wu." Li Mingyuan also thought that he had to meet with Wu Taifu, in case he saw the emperor, Liang Taishi would strike first, and he would not be easy to deal with.

"Then meet before entering Beijing!" She was ready to speak her mind.

"Before I entered Beijing, I didn't quite understand what you meant." Li Mingyuan asked suspiciously.

"Isn't there still a four-day journey from Huizhou to the capital, but if you hurry up and whip up, you should be able to arrive in one or two days, you first disguise yourself and ride a horse to the capital, find your second sister and arrange for you to meet with Mrs. Wu, the matter is negotiated, and you will ride back again, this is called Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang." It was Li Mingyuan who asked Chen Chong to go to Huizhou to invite Governor Zhang, which made her think of this method.

"How many people are you going to take with you?" Chen Chong asked.

"The fewer people there must be, the better, otherwise it will be even more troublesome if they are discovered." Lin Qingran said.

"No, little marquis, I think this matter is too dangerous!" Liu Wei said anxiously after listening.

Compared with the danger, if he can get the help of Wu Taifu and the crown prince, it will indeed be too beneficial to save his father, and Li Mingyuan feels that this method can be tried.

"You can give it a try! However, there is a question, what if I am not there and someone finds out? "This is about to arrive in the capital, and it is inevitable that the team will meet some local officials in the capital while driving.

Lin Qingran thought for a while and said, "Or, find someone to pretend to be you." Anyway, you don't like to deal with these officials on weekdays, so if someone comes over, just push them away. Most of the officials in the capital have never seen you, so they shouldn't recognize you. ”

"That's right, they haven't seen me either, so who are you looking for to pretend to be me?" Li Mingyuan looked at the few of them, when they go to the capital, the fewer people the better, then only Chen Chong will be taken with him. There is still Liu Wei, but Liu Wei wants to block those officials, if Wang Li is there, it will definitely be no problem to pretend to be him in his body, but he is currently ...... in Yangzhou City.

Just when he was still thinking about it, he heard Lin Qingran say, "Shangjing! ”

Li Mingyuan looked at Shang Jing, "He? So skinny, where is it like me! ”

"If you dress up and ride a horse, you can't see it from a distance. I really can't do it, just sit in the carriage. She said.

At this time, the others also looked at Shang Jing at the same time, and Shang Jing was blushing for a while, "I...... I...... I can't pretend to be good. ”

"It's okay, you've pretended to be a daughter in distress, just a little marquis." Lin Qingran has her own plans, Li Mingyuan will definitely take Chen Chong, and when they leave, there will only be Liu Wei in the team, and when the time comes, she will be able to escape with Shang Jing.

Let Shang Jing pretend to be himself, and go to see Mrs. Wu himself, and have a chance to meet the prince. This method is good, but he looked at Lin Qingran's smug expression again, and he will definitely sneak away after he leaves.

"Although the solution is very good, I still have to contact my second sister first." He still thought about it first, how to control this Lin Qingran.

"Okay, that's it for today, and then we'll discuss the next step when it's decided."

"Yes." With that, everyone was ready to turn around and leave.

"Lin Qingran." He stopped her.

"Do what?" She replied.

In fact, he wanted to apologize to her for yesterday's incident.

"Forget it, it's nothing." But he didn't know how to speak.

This man is abnormal! She thought to herself.
