The owner can be his wife

Zhong Ti left, and Gu Yuntai sat on the chair in the study, feeling a little peaceful in his heart. Maybe it was when King Yan appeared, maybe it was because of his temperament that was more compatible with Chen Qi, or maybe it was because of his uncertain temperament.After thinking about it, Gu Yuntai smiled self-deprecatingly, since when did he start to take this into consideration.However, with a clear mind, some things are not easy to hide anymore.

When Gu Yunxi was in the study, Steward Zheng waited outside, while in the East Wing, Chen Yan was comforting the anxious Concubine Chun. "Aunt Chun, please be safe. I just came back, and I haven't collected all the news. I can only get a general idea of ​​the location of the old marquis. I haven't been able to figure out whether the recent news in the palace is true or not. .”

Turning around, I poured a cup of tea for Concubine Chun, "I just returned to Beijing, and I heard that there was news in the palace that the queen was dead, but when I reported to the emperor just now, I didn't think that was the case."

"The empress was seriously ill a few days ago, and she has not been out for a few days, and I don't know what she is doing, but she must still be alive. Looking at the posture in the palace, the emperor is trying to find a way for the empress' Gu worms." Concubine Chun made up her mind a bit, knowing that if Chen Jian made a big move at this time, the emperor would counterattack, but her father had entered the palace for ten days, and there was no news of herself in the palace.I really can't feel at ease.

"How could he be so kind." Chen Jian chuckled, and put the teapot in his hand aside, but he was thinking in his heart, if the Queen's poison is cured, then the only person who can provide the emperor with the prescription is the King of Huainan, if the Queen The poison of Gu is not solved, so the emperor is trying? "It doesn't matter what the queen is. Zheng Guogong's officials have been taken over by Ren Mingze. Zheng Guogong is also at the end of his rope. All that is left is to support Ren Mingze to the top and keep the Zheng family."

"The emperor wants to?" Concubine Chun seemed to understand that the emperor didn't want to blackmail Mingrui by letting her father enter the palace, but wanted to use Zhongxinhou's power to deal with Ren Mingze.As long as the Zheng family is not protected, Zheng Guogong will surely die.Everyone knows that the emperor intends to pass on the position to King Xuan. Not only is the palace banned inside the palace, but he is even allowed to cultivate power outside the palace.Even the officials under his father said that if there is no more news from Lord Hou, the Zheng family will be wiped out and King Yan will be supported.

"Although the Zheng family has no military power, it is extremely difficult to shake it. Zheng Guogong's family, five generations of elders, and six ministers of more than [-] years, are flourishing, and there are many people who are willing to die for the Zheng family. If it is stable, most of the imperial court will be destroyed." Chen Yan analyzed slowly, and seeing Concubine Chun's face, turned and sat down "However, the people I brought from Jiangnan this time are enough to replace, so the Zheng family , just in the middle of flipping hands. Auntie Lao Chun is also needed to appease the generals under Lord Hou, if they still want to trust me as General Huaihua, they can bear it for now, and I guarantee that Lord Hou will be fine."

Concubine Chun nodded, "With your words, everyone can feel at ease." Concubine Chun is really devastated these days, but she can't tell Mingrui these worries, he is already busy enough.Chen Jian smiled, "Aunt Chun is out of the palace, so it's not advisable to stay for a long time. Within two days, I will definitely pick up Lord Hou safely."

"Only two days?" Concubine Chun got up and put on her apron.Chen Jian nodded, "Two days."

Concubine Chun left through the side door, and Chen Jian sat on a chair, rubbing her forehead with her fingers. "Uncle Zheng." The voice fell, but no one responded. Chen Jian frowned, and didn't call anymore, got up and left.Walking to the atrium, Chen Jian turned his head, "Go to Qingtong and let him take care of Wang Jun." There are people around who take orders, so he doesn't need to say more, but it's a pity that this kind of people can't order anything else, even if they do, they won't.

The capital city, Yongxiang, is a famous slum, and one family in it is almost considered dead because the door is closed all the year round.But today, suddenly there were a few people inside, and it seemed that these people had been here all along.

"Master, what are your orders?" A ruffian-like man trembled, as if he was fooling around, but he couldn't hide the gleam in his eyes.Chen Jian put down the gaiwan, "When did Zhong Xinhou enter the palace? What's the matter with entering the palace?"

These things, it is always a bit against the law to ask those present who are seven points like ghosts and three points like people, but the three eyes in front of them rolled their eyes, and they replied, "Zhongxinhou ten days ago, the fifth day, did not enter the palace at three quarters." , from the east corner gate, four people carried sedan chairs, and entered the palace to talk about the matter of King Cheng. Two days before Zhongxin Hou entered the palace, there were rumors in Beijing that King Cheng wanted to take advantage of the Turkic power to fight for the throne."

"The four people who carried the sedan chair were carried out from the east corner gate in less than a moment. They didn't hear any movement inside. Then two young eunuchs sneaked in. They were thin and about six feet seven tall. Inch." The other twirled the wooden bead in his hand, comparing the figures of the two young eunuchs.If nothing else happened, these two little eunuchs should be guarding and serving Zhongxin.

"Five days later, I heard from the shoppers in the palace that they want to buy apricot flower brew, and there will be a pot every day thereafter." The palace never drinks apricot flower brew, so there must be a reason for the sudden purchase.Xinghuaniang, Chen Jian squinted, his boss seemed to have some problems.

"Five days ago, until now, there has been no other movement." The leader confirmed that the news was not missed, and ended this report.Chen Jian nodded, "What's the matter with the queen?"

The person in the lead seemed to shiver with some fear, and then replied, "Since half a month ago, the empress was seriously ill, and the emperor brought criminals from the dungeon to the palace every day. After three to five hours, a truck carrying slops would leave Coming out of Nanzhimen, the ruts are very deep, unlike ordinary swill, and the guards are very strict. We can't get close, but we can be sure that the dead people are inside, because there will be blood-sucking flies staying behind the ruts. In ordinary swill, it is There is no blood left after slaughtering livestock." The livestock in the palace are all slaughtered, and the blood of chickens and ducks is used for sacrifices, so it will not be thrown into the swill, not to mention, even if it is Throwing it in will not attract blood-sucking flies.

It seems that the emperor is really treating the queen.Chen Jian's eyes narrowed slightly. If King Huainan provided the information about Gu worms, the emperor might not be able to kill him easily. However, it is a fact that King Huainan is dead. It can be seen that King Huainan planned Chen Yu before he died.

Nanzhimen is half a quarter away from the nearest palace. After all, there is a big garden over there. It seems that Chen Yu is still extremely careful.

"My reward, in a few days, you will be changing places." Throwing a bag of gold leaves, Chen Jian got up and left. The remaining three laughed, divided the gold leaves equally, and left separately.

The neighbor next to him looked at the three people who went out and showed pity. No wonder they were beggars at the corner of the city gate. With this house, they couldn't come back often. After all, they were often chased away by officers and soldiers.

At the east corner gate, Chen Jian brought two small men over, "Go in from there, find out where Lord Hou is, and come back immediately, if you can't find out, don't be deliberate, stay in the palace, don't expose." The faces of the two boys were calm , wearing a eunuch's costume is not very eye-catching "Yes."

After all, he dodges and enters through the east corner gate.It's not that there are no guards at the east corner gate, it's just that this is the place where people from various palaces come and go every day, as long as they have a waist card, they can enter.And the waist plate of Changchun Palace can be easily found in Chen Jian's place.

Seeing that the two had successfully entered the palace, Chen Jian tidied up his clothes and walked back to Yongxiang.By this time, it was almost dusk.

In Yanwang Mansion, when Gu Yuntai came out of the study, he heard the news that Yanwang was going out. Although it was a little strange, but more, he was faintly disappointed, "Where is Qingtong?" Fengwu can't be found now, obviously it is He was hidden, but he believed that Chen Jian's people would watch him.

"Go back to Wang Jun, Qingtong is serving in the small study." Zheng Butler pointed out that Gu Yunzhang was not a fool, and smiled, "So, please trouble Zheng Bo to send tomorrow's arrangements to the small study." Zheng Butler said in a muffled voice. He didn't say a word, knowing that he was wrong, and then he heard Gu Yunxi say, "Uncle Zheng, you believe in the prince, right?"

"Yes." Steward Zheng knew that the prince trusted Gu Yunzhang, but he was also taboo, otherwise some arrangements would have told him why he had concealed it until now.It's just that Steward Zheng didn't know that the reason why Chen Jian concealed it was because he didn't care about it at all. "This old slave will call Qingtong to wait on you." There is a large study room, a library, and five small study rooms in Yanwang's mansion. Originally, Qingtong was assigned to the small study room in Qinyuan, but Zheng Butler also noticed it during this time Yes, Qingtong is capable of doing the job after training/teaching.

"I'm sorry." After that, Gu Yunxi came out of the study and passed by Steward Zheng without any pause, and there was no warning as Steward Zheng guessed, which made Steward Zheng a little admired.

Back in Qinyuan, Gu Yunzhang took the normal-tasting tea from Qingtong, looking tired. This period of time has really exhausted him physically and mentally, but his spiritual satisfaction is enough to support his activities, so now the overall situation will be settled. He was tired. They had already done [-]% of the work, and the rest depended on God's will.

"Jiangnan's joint brochure, have you delivered it?" Gu Yuntai smiled when he said the words, and he could blurt out these things when he said so.Qingtong blinked, "I'll be there tomorrow morning meeting."

"It's really good at calculating time." Gu Yuntai chuckled, "People in Jiangnan are really dedicated to their master." The official delivery station should also arrive yesterday.When rushing to the court meeting, what is it if it is not to build momentum for his master.

"Yes, the prince has just dealt with a group of people in the south of the Yangtze River, and brought in some relatives from aristocratic families. Naturally, they want to make a good impression on the prince at this time." Qingtong looked at her master, hesitating to speak.After a while, he carefully said, "Master, do you want to go?"

Gu Yuntai was taken aback, "What?" Speaking of which, Qingtong is the only one who calls himself the owner of the villa now.Qingtong let out a slight breath, and then said, "During this time, I can see clearly that the lord is sincere to the owner. I know that the owner wants to rebuild Wenyuanzhuang, but this does not conflict with staying. Besides, the lord... ..."

"Qingtong, did Chen Jian give you the ecstasy/soul medicine?" The smile on Gu Yuntai's face remained undiminished, and Qingtong called Shunliu like a prince, and those who didn't know thought he was from King Yan.What's more, even Qingtong can see it, it can be seen that the time is indeed not short.Planning schemes with Chen Jian, but never worrying in my heart, isn't it the best proof.

"Master, I hope there is someone who will take care of the owner." When Qingtong got serious, she didn't chatter.Gu Yuntai pursed his lips, "So in your eyes, I, the landlord, am still a child."

Qingtong looks like the owner of Wenyuanzhuang, who seems to be the same as when he was in Wenyuanzhuang, but he always feels that something is different. "No, no." After finishing speaking, Qingtong chuckled, and this rare silly expression appeared on his face, causing Gu Yuntai to chuckle again and again.

At night, Chen Jian saw the person coming out of the east corner gate, turned out from his hiding place, and tapped the little man's back, "Have you found it?"

"Go back to the lord, we found it." The little man took out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve, on which a map was lightly traced with tree sap.There are also pictures of guard patrols on the side. "Change clothes and go home."

Chen Jian remembered the information on the map in his heart, and sneaked under the palace wall. He was dressed in night clothes and matched with the blue brick city wall, not at first sight.When You Long Kung unfolded, Chen Yan leaned against the wall and walked to the opposite side in a strange gesture.

The palace ban is now taken over by Ren Mingze's people, but he doesn't have that many manpower and needs to replace all the guards.Therefore, the patrolling guards were still the same as before, and no one noticed that there was a sudden loss of one person in the team.

Within a short while, Chen Jian followed several patrolling teams to the side hall where Zhongxinhou was detained, and smelled the faint smell of apricot blossom brewing in the air. Chen Jian knew that he had found the right place, and also understood the past few days. The apricot blossom wine was used somewhere by Zhongxinhou.

Taking advantage of the interval between guard patrols, Chen Jian quickly entered.Zhong Xinhou hadn't rested at this time, and when he saw the trespassing guard frowned, he was about to go into a fit, but when he saw the figure of the person coming, Zhong Xinhou knew it.He didn't make a sound, just stood up and went to a place without a window.

When Chen Jian saw Zhong Xinhou's actions, he knew that this time it would go well.A person similar in stature to Zhongxinhou replaced Zhongxinhou and sat in the position just now, with an extra scroll in his hand, as if Zhongxinhou was going to take it out just now.But under the huge clothes, there was another small man who entered the room disguised as a eunuch during the day.

There were three people in the house, one standing in the inner room, one standing in the hallway, and one sitting at the table, but no one made a sound.

The sound of Haishi rang, 'Faithful Hou' put down the scroll in his hand, walked aside, took off his coat, and the sound of washing came from inside. The guards outside were used to the old Hou Lord washing and resting every day at Haishi, and did not feel that today Hou Ye moved a little slowly.The candlelight was extinguished, and the figures of the three people in the room swayed. The most difficult time had come.
