It was rainy, Yu Zheng went to the study after breakfast, and when Jiang Shu was bored, Yu Lan came.

"Sister." Jiang Shu happily got up to greet him.

Yu Lan saw her belly at a glance and sighed, "The little guy has grown up." ”

Jiang Shu nodded and excitedly shared with her the first fetal movement last night.

Yu Shuanghua served tea and fruits, and the two whispered gossip in the house.

"I haven't seen Yijun for a long time, and I really miss it." Jiang Shu sighed.

Yu Lan took a sip of tea and said: "The wedding date is approaching, and she has been detained in the mansion recently, so I'm afraid she will be suffocated." ”

Jiang Shu smiled when he thought of Sun Yijun's impatient jumping feet, and sighed lightly at the end: "It's a pity that I'm pregnant and can't go to her wedding banquet." ”

Those who are double are not allowed to attend wedding and funeral banquets.

is not only Sun Yijun's wedding banquet, but also counts the days, and she can't go to Yu Lan's wedding with Zhou Boxu.

"It's a pity, but the child is big, and everyone is looking forward to his birth." Yu Lan looked at Jiang Shu's slightly bulging lower abdomen, his eyes were soft, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

At this moment, the little one moved.

Yu Lan's beautiful eyes were happy: "He moved." ”

Jiang Shu also felt it, and said softly: "He must like his aunt." ”

"Clever ghost, you know how to please people before you come out." Yu Lan smiled and quipped, and withdrew his hand.

Jiang Shu raised her hand to caress her lower abdomen and whispered to Yu Lan about her dream.

"Oh? Can you see that it's a boy or a girl? Yu Lan asked her with interest.

Jiang Shu shook his head and said with a slightly red face: "The dream is illusory, even if you see it clearly, it can't be true." ”

"Not necessarily, I've heard that the fetus is a miracle." Yu Lan looked very experienced.

Jiang Shu said with a smile: "What dream did Sister have when she was pregnant with Yun? ”

Yu Lan tried to recall: "I don't seem to have dreamed of children. ”

After many years, the memory has long been blurred.

Ben was just chatting casually, and neither of them paid attention to it, and then talked about something else.

With someone as a companion, time passed quickly, and at some point, the rain outside the house stopped.

Zhou Boxu stepped on the shallow stagnant water, walked through the front yard and went straight to Yu Zheng's study.

Yu Zheng put down the Chinese book in his hand, and the two sat opposite each other.

Zhou Boxu got straight to the point and said: "Xie Qi'an said that since yesterday afternoon, Cao Taishi's courtyard has been under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave except Cao Qian. ”

Based on the scene when Taishi Cao left the table yesterday, the inquiry with Taifu Zhou, and the failure to attend the dinner, they speculated that Taishi Cao's condition had worsened.

Yu Zheng stared at it and thought: "So yesterday's birthday banquet was a disguise. ”

Zhou Boxu nodded.

The Cao family deliberately held a birthday banquet and asked Taishi Cao to attend strongly, just to make the world feel that Taishi Cao was still in good health and could live for a long time.

"If Taishi Cao dies soon, the Cao family will definitely make a move."

Yu Zheng said: "After returning to the house last night, I have sent someone to keep an eye on the Cao Mansion. ”

Zhou Boxu greatly agreed with this move.

Although they have eyeliner in the Cao family, and Xie Qi'an also has beautiful concubines, they have never been able to do everything. And Cao Qian's recent movements are particularly important and should not be careless.

The two were discussing things, and knocked on the door of the house one by one: "Master." ”

Yu Zheng answered, and pushed the door into the house with the wind.

Zhou Boxu knew that there must be something important to report, and said interestingly: "Do you want me to avoid it?" ”

Yu Zheng raised his finger and let Zhufeng speak directly.

Chasing Feng said respectfully: "There is progress on the tension side." ”

The last time Chase Wind brought Zhang Li back, he only had one breath left, and it took a lot of effort to get him back.

After recovering the tension for a few days, he took the initiative to surrender to Yu Zheng.

Zhang Zhang is not stupid, he understands that although Cao Qian abandoned him, he would never let him live. If Cao Qian knew that he was not dead, he would definitely kill him, so that he would only have the only way to seek refuge in Yu Zheng.

And this is also the reason why Yu Zheng threw him back to Caofu. Taking the initiative to surrender after seeing the situation clearly can be much more useful than coercion and inducement.

"Say." Yu Zheng listened intently.

Chasing the wind said: "According to the clues provided by Zhang Li, a dark spot in Cao Qian's party's lending has been found. ”

"Send people deep into the city, gather evidence, and find their coffers and list books." Yu Zheng decisively ordered.

"Also, let Zhang Zhang continue to investigate."

"Yes." Chaser gave up his hand and stepped back.

The three holes of the cunning rabbit, Cao Qian's party will never have only one dark spot. And the ill-gotten gains they have collected and lent at interest will certainly not be deposited in the bank, but they must have built a treasury privately.

Looking at the closed door, Zhou Boxu asked in surprise: "Cao's private loans?" ”

Yu Zheng bowed: "I also learned about this matter by chance recently, and I just found out a little eyebrows." ”

Zhou Boxu said coldly: "The Cao family's hands are really wide, and they dare to do anything. ”

The court ordered officials to lend loans privately, but it was a serious crime, and they should be exiled according to the law.

Now that Yu Cheng is only the crown prince, the Cao family dares to act so boldly, it is hard to imagine how reckless the Cao family will behave when Yu Cheng ascends the throne in the future.

"Befriending officials, playing up and down, and raising troops and horses all require a lot of money. The Cao family has no business, so why don't they get the money? Yu Zheng was not surprised by this.

Zhou Boxu twisted his eyebrows when he listened: "I have secretly investigated in many ways, but I have not found any trace of the Cao family's private soldiers. ”

Raising private soldiers is a great crime to exterminate the clan, and Cao Qian is extremely cautious and will not let people find traces. It is not easy for Zhou Boxu to find out about this matter.

Slender fingers tapped on the armrest, Yu Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "If you can't find it, then force them to show up by themselves." ”

Zhou Boxu looked at Yu Zheng when he heard this, and he didn't understand what he meant.

Yu Zheng said: "This matter is not in a hurry, let's do the others first." ”

Near noon, after the two finished discussing business, Yu Zheng got up to send Zhou Boxu.

Zhou Boxu came out of the study and hesitated: "When I came, I saw it in front of the house...... Your sister's carriage. ”

Yu Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing this: "My sister is here?" ”

Zhou Boxu was surprised: "You don't know? ”

He thought he was sending him away on purpose.

Yu Zheng looked calm: "I don't know." ”

Yu Lan must have come to the palace to find Jiang Shu, and he was handling government affairs in the study, so it was normal that he did not report to him.

Glancing at Zhou Boxu, who was not moving, Yu Zheng asked knowingly: "It's noon, do you want to stay for dinner?" ”

Zhou Boxu's eyes lit up, and he was as good as a stream: "Okay." ”

That's what he's waiting for.

Although he and Yu Lan have been given marriage by holy decree, considering the feelings of Mrs. Zhuang, it is not easy to go to the Zhuang family to find her, and they have not seen her for a long time.

Looking at Zhou Boxu, whose mouth was full of energy, Yu Zheng wondered in his heart.

Now that he is so sticky and refuses to let go of any opportunity to meet, how did he endure it in the years before?

The two went back to the main courtyard together, and sure enough, they saw Yu Lan sitting in the room talking to Jiang Shu.

Xu was a little tired after talking for a long time, and maybe he was relaxed physically and mentally, Yu Lan supported his cheeks with his hands, and his expression was lazy, like a well-fed cat.

The man's shoes and boots made a 'stain' sound when they stepped on the ground with a thin layer of water.

The two people in the room turned their heads when they heard the voice, and they were both happy and stunned.

"Husband, Lord Zhou." Jiang Shu called out softly.

Zhou Boxu often came to the palace to discuss with Yu Zheng, and Yu Zheng occasionally went to the Zhou Mansion to discuss matters, and Jiang Shu was used to it.

The only surprise is that Yu Lan also happened to come today.
