The Queen's Prime Minister Raiders

He opened the door and slipped into Zhong's house.

The strong man and he looked at each other and nodded slightly to each other.

Patriarch Zhong and Mrs. Cheng welcomed them after dispelling their doubts.

The footsteps of the imperial forest army approached, Fan Jiulang waved his cloak, knocked on the door of Zhong's house, and bumped into Zhong Nan who was about to close the door.

Fan Jiulang bowed to Zhong Nan, "How offending."

The imperial army marched into Zhong's house, searched the courtyard door and rooms, compared the household registration, Fan Jiulang pointed to Fang Zhuoyue and asked, "Who is this from your family?"

Zhong Nan explained: "He is the guest of honor of my family, seeing the curfew, staying overnight."

Fan Jiulang stared at Fang Zhuoyue's eyebrows and eyes carefully, and always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.Fang Zhuoyue was terrified by the look, and turned his face away.

Walking to the backyard, a black figure suddenly jumped out of the straw pile outside the firewood house, ran up a few steps and jumped over the wall. Fan Jiulang immediately called out: "Chasing!"

After speaking, lead the soldiers to catch up.

After Fan Jiulang's order, the deputy commander surrounded Zhong's house, "From now on, you are not allowed to enter or leave."

Zhong Nan, who had objections, had already been taken back to his room with his mouth covered by the Imperial Forest Army.Patriarch Zhong didn't notice Fang Zhuoyue when he was in a hurry, where is he?

The deputy commander naturally found out, "Huh! Hiding an assassin, wait for me to report back to the commander."

It is very easy to hide someone in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. Fan Jiulang knew this well, so he searched carefully.

During the chaos of war, Fan Jiulang heard a dog barking in the alley, barking fiercely, as if a stranger broke into him.

Holding my breath and walking into the alley, the sound of the dog barking has disappeared.Walking to the depths, he found the body of the big yellow dog with a bloody hole in his stomach. Fan Jiulang looked around and saw that this was a dead end and there was nowhere to escape.

Approaching the big yellow dog, I heard the sound of swords colliding above, and then a person descended from the sky.Fan Jiulang took a few steps back, and one person landed on the place where he was standing. He raised the lantern and saw that the person wrapped in black was lying on the ground. The person wanted to get up, and a sword stabbed him from the place where he fell. Shoulder, almost cut off his entire arm.

Fan Jiulang looked up and saw a boy in black sitting on the wall.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

In one year, Erlang grew a lot. He jumped up and pulled out his silver sword, and stood with his hands behind his back, "Commander Fan."

Fan Jiulang recalled the sound of the weapon hitting, and understood that it was Erlang who blocked the assassin's attack, so he cupped his hands again, "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking the shot."

Erlang asked: "I heard that the capital is under martial law before I even had a cup of tea. What happened?"

"The son of Taishi An was assassinated and died. His Majesty ordered the whole city to search for the assassin."

Erlang said to himself: "This way..."

Fan Jiulang also asked: "Why did Your Highness come to Beijing?"

Erlang sighed: "I have something important to report to Your Majesty, but I didn't expect the martial law to be delayed, and the palace gate has been locked. I will go to Mobei Palace to stay overnight."

Fan Jiulang shook his head: "The whole city is buzzing, His Highness is acting alone in fear that the officers and men will not know and accidentally injure His Highness."

Erlang thought about it too, he twirled his long sword in mid-air, and said, "I'll follow you."

The assassin had already been caught, and the soldiers were about to return to the camp immediately. In the early morning of the next day, people were still in panic. Qin Shu Zhongwan saw the assassin in Dali Temple.

When Zhong Wan saw it, she said, "That's him!"

Maybe she wouldn't recognize her if she passed by, and she wouldn't admit to being wrong.

Erlang frowned: "Miss Wan is here?"

Zhong Wan: "I'm on the side, what's the matter?"

The assassin almost ate the poison hidden in his teeth. If Wang Tingsong hadn't learned the trick of removing his jaw, he would have succeeded.

But without asking for a confession, Erlang said: "The assassin hid in Zhong's house and exposed it. Commander Fan said he saw Fang's family in Zhong's house."

He repeatedly targeted Zhong Wan's Fang family, colluded with the assassins, and stabbed An Yiqun to death beside Zhong Wan.

Zhong Wan trembled again, her teeth clenched her lower lip, and her lips were red.

Qin Shu held her in his arms, "What's the matter when you come back?"

Erlang: "Xichenghou's family fled the northwest and went to West Turkic. When the Mobei garrison found out, they ran far away and couldn't come back."

Qin Shu squinted her eyes.

Erlang took out Cui Qi's handwritten letter, "Also, the merchants who often travel to and from the two sides moved their family to West Turkic."

That is a merchant with the surname Fang who has been engaged in border trade business in recent years.

It is strange that the people sent by Zhong Wan did not find Fang Zhuoyue in the south of the Yangtze River, so it turned out that he came to the capital.

Qin Shu turned her head sideways, "Jiulang, where are you?"

Fan Jiulang replied: "The hunt is still on. Fang's house is under constant watch."

Qin Shu glanced at the sky, and ordered: "It's not long since the ban was lifted, go to the northwest to chase, maybe you can catch up."

Fan Jiulang was taken aback for a moment, and he clapped his hands in response.

On the carriage, Zhong Wan suddenly grabbed Qin Shu's sleeve, "Your Majesty, Ah Qun did it for me."

Qin Shu said silently, "Not necessarily."

Zhong Wan: "Even if it wasn't, it was because of me that the assassin was recruited."

Qin Shu held Zhong Wan's hand instead: "Ah Wan, everyone has a destiny, don't think too much, besides, how can you kill the wrong person in a clear sky?"

Zhong Wan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, how do you want me to convince myself?"

The assassin's target was her. Obviously, An Yiqun's death was also due to her.

When we arrived at the Grand Master's Mansion, the house was full of deserts, and the mourning hall was full of cries. The youngest daughter of An Yiqun hadn't seen her father for a long time, and she kept crying.

Mrs. An's eyes were red, holding the little girl, weeping silently.Zhong Wan paid homage to An Yiqun, and turned to Taishi An who was at the side.

When a young man loses his wife or a child in his later years, the grief can be imagined. Qin Shu stepped forward, "Grand Master, my condolences."

Taishi An raised his head, weeping, and stood up tremblingly, "...Your Majesty, this old minister is doomed to be lonely in his old age."

Qin Shu turned to look at the little girl, "Master, Ah Qun's flesh and blood are still left."

Taishi An closed his eyes and shook his head, "It's not a boy."

Qin Shu stared at the grand master dumbly for a while, and suddenly realized that the status of a woman in her imagination was not that high.

Taizu Empress Cui protected her so well, she never felt that there was any big difference between her and the prince since she was a child, even if her younger brother was born, deep down in her heart she was confident that she would be able to compete.

A family with only a daughter is looked down upon, and a family with a dead father and husband will be criticized.

Qin Shu looked back, Zhong Wan was absent-mindedly hugging the little girl, drank her full moon wine, and met her for the first time at her father's funeral.

"Teacher, what are your plans for the future?"

Taishi An's face was full of sorrow: "What plans can I have? I stayed in the capital because I wanted to spoil my grandson. Now it's impossible. I'll start a private school and teach."

"The child still needs your care." Qin Shu said.

Under the general environment, there is no man in the family to support them, how can the two of them live?

Taishi An: "She has the title of princess and is backed by Zongzheng, so I don't need to worry about it."

Without persuading the grand master, Qin Shu's mood became even worse.

On the carriage, Zhong Wan said, "Your Majesty, I feel so uncomfortable."

Qin Shu: "It will be fine in a few days."

Looking very experienced, and indeed very experienced, Zhong Wan turned her head and wept softly. How did Qin Shu survive the life and death more than once?

Zhong Wan expressed her attitude in Dali Temple, not to be selfish, and asked Wang Tingsong to deal with the Zhong family who harbored assassins according to the law, and not to release water.

Wang Tingsong raised his eyebrows, "It may be bad for the noble concubine's reputation."

It is not a good word to exterminate relatives righteously.

Zhong Wan: "You are the Minister of Dali Temple, how can you value human relationships and despise laws?"

It was rare for Wang Tingsong to be bullied, so he was convinced, and took out the verdict that he had prepared earlier, "Sentence the Zhong family to exile."

To put it simply, it is exile, but exile is not safe. Xicheng Hou, who was exiled last time, fled to Western Turkic.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Wang Tingsong reminded others of Xicheng Hou's defection, so he changed the place of exile and sent the Zhong family collectively to Yunnan to grow mushrooms.

Everyone: Wang Tingsong, you are really a genius.

Erlang received Cui Qi's latest letter, "The Fang family often travels on both sides to do business, and they have been in contact for a long time. It is also a long-planned plan of the Fang family to be able to escape to the north after Xicheng Hou."

Qin Shu said lightly: "The whole country wants you."

Da Lang said beside him: "Tell the Yizheng Hall, and the gentlemen must know."

Qin Shu: "No need."

She has not discussed everything with the prime minister for several years.

Da Lang hesitated, and persuaded: "It's always bad to be self-willed."

Zhong Wan immediately stopped Qin Shu who was about to speak, "Da Lang, I brought a gift for the princess, the new Western Region spices, do you think she likes it?"

Da Lang glanced at her, swallowed his organized words, "I'll go back and ask."

After the child left, Zhong Wan secretly looked at Qin Shu, "Your Majesty, child, there are so many years of age difference, it's normal to have disagreements, you see, your teenage years are different from what you are now."

Qin Shu looked at what you were talking about, "What did I say?"

Zhong Wan said ah, smiled all over her face, and praised: "Your Majesty is magnificent."

Qin Shu leaned back, "Whether I care about the east or the west, can I still care about my success after death? Let him do it, don't be too prodigal."

Zhong Wan came running in small steps, Qin Shu grabbed her face, "What do you think I'm going to say?"

"Ouch! Let go! It hurts!"

"Say!"

Zhong Wan: "I'm not afraid that your quarrel will not end well, let it go!"

Qin Shu tugged harder and let go.

Zhong Wan covered her red face and inhaled softly.

Qin Shu grabbed the corner of her clothes, pulled her back and sat down until she looked at each other, "Do you think I've changed a lot?"

Zhong Wan nodded, then shook her head again, "Not many, but you didn't know how to pinch me before."

Qin Shu smirked, "Okay."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa help!"

35. Princess Lanling

After the first seven days in the Anyi group, Taishi An packed up her bags and went to a private school in the suburbs to be a teacher. On the third day, Mrs. An also went to the palace to meet Zhong Wan. In just a few days, the beautiful woman was completely withered.

Become a widow, can no longer be glamorous.

Facing An Yiqun's widow, Zhong Wan felt guilty, "If you have difficulties at home, please tell me, and I will help you a little bit."

Mrs. An was dressed in plain clothes, "My natal family is going to take me back."

widow alone
