Chapter 277: Like a backdrop that never hurts
Shen Mingjiao didn't have time to think about these for the time being, she asked the most concerned question of several people present: "Did the first prince and his wife also be killed by King Yu?" ”
"Yes."
Hearing the other party's personal admission, Qin Yan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth creakingly.
Cui Lingling hesitated and stretched out his hand, gently squeezing his bulging wrist, Qin Yan paused, and after a long time, his tense body slowly relaxed.
Cui Lingling bit her lip, leaned over and whispered, "Okay!" Calm down, for your pitiful sake, I'll forgive you in advance. ”
Qin Yan looked down at her, because her pregnancy was in the late stage, which made her already somewhat baby fat face even more rounded. Thinking of what he had done a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart. He pulled his lips at her.
Shen Mingjiao asked everything he could know, and the iron pillar on the side was responsible for recording the confession.
After all the questions that should be asked, Shen Mingjiao rubbed her dizzy forehead and did it for a while, Cui Lingling only thought that the black-robed people were too determined, and she was too overdrawn. He poured her a cup of tea and said, "Go back and let the Imperial Doctor prescribe some medicine for you." ”
Shen Mingjiao nodded and didn't explain more, but took the confession written by Tie Zhu. After reading the whole article, I summarized: The black-robed man is called a prisoner, and he is a secret guard trained by King Yu early, and he has done many unsightly things for King Yu.
However, such a person is not a confidant in the eyes of King Yu at all, at most he is a weapon in hand, so he can only know a limited number of things, and he only knows that King Yu has been plotting a big thing a long time ago. He mentioned several officials and wealthy businessmen who had secretly been in contact with King Yu.
As for what gathering points Yuwang secretly has, he only knows one: Fangfei Pavilion, Huaihua Lane, Jingzhou South Street.
As soon as you hear the name, you can guess that most of it is the Qinglou Chu Pavilion or something, but this is not strange, like this kind of flower street and willow alley has always been mixed, and it is most suitable to be used as a gathering point for this kind of secret contact.
Although there is no tangible evidence, with these, coupled with what Shen Mingjiao experienced in his previous life, it is an indisputable fact that King Yu is preparing to rebel.
Cui Lingling pointed to the prisoner who fainted and said, "Now that the testimony is available, directly hand over the person to Your Majesty, and then Your Majesty will send someone to Jingzhou to arrest King Yu back, and everything will be known." ”
Shen Mingjiao shook her head: "The person must be handed over to His Majesty, but this matter is not so simple, this is not an ordinary prisoner, and he can bring people to justice just by confessing witnesses." The other party is a prince who intends to rebel, and no one knows how many soldiers and horses he has in his hands? ”
In case the news leaks out, the other party will not do anything, and directly raise the flag to rebel, no matter whether it can be succeeded or not, it will only hurt innocent people.
So the best solution to this matter at the moment is to send someone to Jingzhou quietly to find the stronghold of Yuwang's troops and minimize the impact of the matter.
In the end, the few people unanimously decided that Feng Shuo would hand over the people to Emperor Jing He.
However, Shen Mingjiao felt that Jing and Emperor Jing should have known and acquiesced to what Feng Shuo and the others did.
The group left, Feng Shuo quietly stared at the prisoner who was dragged away by the iron pillar, his phoenix eyes flickering.
Shen Mingjiao silently returned to the room that had been cleaned up in advance, leaned on the chaise longue, and Haitang rubbed her forehead.
Seeing that her girl had been frowning, Haitang hesitated and asked, "Does the girl have something on her mind?" ”
Although she is sometimes stupid, no one can compare to Shen Mingjiao's mood.
Shen Mingjiao didn't speak, just asked Haitang to get a pen and paper, and a quarter of an hour later, the door was opened, and she asked someone to call the iron pillar:
"Send this letter to Your Highness and let the lightning send it."
Tie Zhu's expression was solemn, and he solemnly accepted the letter.
Lightning is a goshawk domesticated by the Su Palace, and it is not an urgent important letter, and it is usually never needed to go out.
……
Shen Mingjiao rested for a while, then stood up and went to Zhuangzi next door with Cui Lingling.
When the two arrived, they heard a chirping female voice in the distance. Cui Lingling was surprised,
"It sounds like it's very lively inside, it seems that Danxue's mood has recovered well!"
Shen Mingjiao didn't speak, and the two pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
In the courtyard, Gu Yun, the daughter of Second Master Gu, pestered Ning Yuan and waited for Gu Zhao to ask questions and questions, like a flower butterfly scurrying around. On the contrary, it was her own daughter Gu Danxue, who sat with her head down and looked like a shadow.
"It's very cold this year, the uncle must be very hard at the border, Ah Yun has nothing to do, and made a pair of knee pads for the uncle, and then let the maid send it over, don't dislike it!"
The little girl's tone was delicate and lively, her eyebrows and eyes were flying, Gu Zhao felt that a girl's family should be like this, and she was a niece with good intentions. Immediately laughed and waved his hand:
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, it's good if you have this heart."
Gu Yun glanced at Gu Danxue, who was silent, and deliberately sighed and said:
"But compared to doing needlework, I can't compare to Danxue's hard work, I often see her picking up the lamp to do needlework, I think the clothes she made for the uncle must be much better than me!"
Gu Zhao is a big old man, so naturally he can't hear this twist and turn among women, he lowered his head and drank tea in a big gulp, and said casually:
"What nonsense, how can he compare with you?"
Gu Yun hooked her lips proudly.
Gu Danxue, who was sitting on the side like a shadow, clenched her fists.
She still remembers that when she was eight years old, the girl in the house began to learn needlework, and like her body, she was born clumsy in embroidery needlework, and everyone in the house laughed at her.
She wasn't as cowardly as she was now, and she held her breath to get a knee pad for her father before he returned.
So she practiced needlework day and night, and she didn't know how many blood blisters she poked with her fingers, and finally waited until the Chinese New Year to make a barely wearable knee brace. She gave it to her father with trepidation and anticipation.
Her father always kept a solemn face, raised his hand and gently touched her head, and gave her a set of pitcher racks.
She was secretly happy all night, and felt that her father still liked her. During that time, the border was unstable, and the father only stayed for less than three days before leaving in a hurry, and the father and daughter did not say a few words in total.
Reluctant, she quietly went to her father's yard, only to see that the knee pads she had worked so hard for months had been disposed of as useless garbage.
She only felt that her heart was cold, and she never made anything for her father again.
It turns out that her father really thinks she is too stupid!
Gu Yun still wanted to say that she had been like this since she was a child, as long as she used this trick. Uncle will be more dislike for cheap girls.
Mother has been talking since she was a child, and their family can live in such a big house, all because of Gu Danxue's light, so she is jealous in her heart, why is she not the daughter of her uncle?
Shen Mingjiao interrupted her coldly: "Yo, isn't this spring yet?" Where did the flowers and butterflies come from! ”
Gu Yun's face stiffened, and she lowered her head with a look of grievance.
Even if Gu Zhao didn't hear the meaning of Princess Su's words, he could see that she was targeting Gu Yun.
He stood up and clasped his fists and saluted, Shen Mingjiao didn't look at him, and continued to stare at Gu Yun:
"Who in the beautiful circle of the capital doesn't know that Danxue's needlework is not good, if I remember correctly. This was said by your mother, Mrs. Gu Er, in front of everyone. ”
After that, he stared at Gu Yun coldly: "Then may I ask what Miss Gu meant by what she said just now?"
Your mother can't spread Danxue needlework outside, and you, who are a daughter, are doing a good job of Danxue needlework in front of Gu Houye, your family is really interesting! ”
Gu Yun's face turned white as soon as she brushed it, and she looked at Gu Zhao in a bit of a panic: "Uncle, I don't have ......"
Gu Zhao, as a diehard loyalist of Emperor Jing and Emperor, naturally has respect for King Su and his wife, who are trusted by Emperor Jing and Emperor, and subconsciously feels that what Shen Mingjiao said is all right, and the other party has no reason to lie to her.
Looking at Gu Yun's gaze, he couldn't help but think deeply: "Why do younger brothers and sisters say such things?" ”
Gu Yun hurriedly shook her head: "No, how can my mother ......?"
Shen Mingjiao interrupted her impatiently: "Okay, Miss Gu is fine, please go back!" A blind man can see what you're thinking! ”
Gu Yun didn't want to leave, but Bei Shen Mingjiao glanced at it lightly, and remembered this usual murderous name, so she had to bite her lip and leave in a hurry with a face full of grievances.
Seeing that the people were leaving, Gu Zhao actually asked puzzled: "Please also ask the princess to tell me, what is Ah Yun's idea?" ”
Shen Mingjiao: "......" At this moment, she is really curious, how did such a person become a general! Is there such a big gap between men and women?
She didn't bother to answer, but asked, "Master Hou, what are you doing here?" ”
Gu Zhao: "I heard about Merlin just now, I'll take a look at Danxue." ”
Shen Mingjiao said "oh", "Then Master Hou, have you spoken to Danxue?" ”
Gu Zhao was dumbfounded: "... I came over on the front foot, and Ah Yun happened to come over to see Danxue, she was lively and kept talking to me, as an elder, I couldn't ignore it. ”
Speaking of this, he subconsciously looked at his daughter. saw Gu Danxue still sitting with her head down, like a background board that would never hurt.
For some reason, when he saw his daughter like this, he only didn't like it, but now he inexplicably feels that it is not a taste in his heart.
Shen Mingjiao shook her head a little disappointed, and directly opened her mouth to drive people away: "Danxue and I have some private things to say, Master Hou has to go and get busy in advance!" ”
Gu Zhao didn't say anything more, just stood up and left silently.
Throughout. Gu Danxue didn't look up to take one more look.
Cui Lingling stepped forward and hugged her, and whispered in her ear, "Okay, it's all over." ”
Gu Danxue's dull eyes had some focus, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
The atmosphere was really depressing, and Shen Mingjiao proposed: "It's so cold, why don't we go out for a drink!" ”
Cui Lingling was the first to raise her hand in response: "This proposal is good, it just so happens that my mother-in-law has brewed a few jars of pear blossom white, so I will let people go back and get it." ”
Shen Mingjiao glanced at her: "What's the matter with you, you still want to drink when you're pregnant?" ”
Perhaps thinking of borrowing wine to drown her sorrows, Gu Danxue rarely took the initiative, she cheered up: "The princess is a good idea." ”
She turned her head to look at Cui Lingling again, "There happens to be a cook in the house who can make juice with the smell of wine." ”
Cui Lingling suddenly came to his senses when he heard this.
For the sake of the scene, the three chose a large rock wall that happened to be leeward. Shen Mingjiao also asked the maid to prepare a lot of snacks, and the three of them first poured a small cup each, and Shen Mingjiao discussed:
"It's not interesting to just drink, let's also learn from the ancients, and each of us will say what we were most unhappy about, and after today, everything will be written off?"
After speaking, she looked at Gu Danxue, she felt that this girl had too many things in her heart, and it might be better to say it.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Cui Lingling was the first to take the lead in responding and poured himself a large glass of juice: "I'll come first!" If you want to talk about unhappy things, that's a lot......"
