Concubine Xian, like King Xian, lives in seclusion and is not so easy to see.
What's more, under the condition of avoiding the eyes and ears of Prince Xian's mansion, he asked the princess to come out.
Liu Yaona thought for a while, then hesitated, "No, how about asking Master Hou to come forward?"
The deceased wife of Marquis Zhenbei had a somewhat twisted relationship with Concubine Xian. If he had an idea to come forward, with a famous teacher and many twists and turns, I am afraid that not many people would think that the person who really wanted to see Concubine Xian was actually Concubine Ding Qin Jia.
Qin Gentiana thought about it carefully, and this is the most suitable candidate at the moment, so he couldn't help but smiled slightly, "Then it will be hard work for Zhenbei Hou to help you make the connection."
Without further ado, Liu Yaona sent the maid sent by Zhenbeihou to deliver a message to Zhenbeihou, but she didn't mention going home.
Now, because she has not yet married into Zhenbeihou's Mansion, it is difficult for her to go in and out of Zhenbeihou's Mansion. She only rents a small house near Zhenbeihou's Mansion and Dingwang's Mansion, and occasionally travels between Zhenbeihou's Mansion and Dingwang's Mansion.
It was fine at first, but since Ah Hui came to the capital with her, she didn't want to go to the Zhenbeihou Mansion, and she didn't want to stay in the house she rented.
Because Ah Hui always takes the opportunity of taking care of Wanwan to come to her.
He didn't speak, just watched her talking and playing with Wanwan gently, which made her feel awkward and weird for no reason.
Qin Geng saw that she was absent-minded, and probably guessed that it was because of Ah Hui, so he couldn't help suggesting, "Why don't you stay here for a while, and go out on the auspicious day appointed by the Queen's order."
Liu Yaona was taken aback, and then her face turned red, "Yes, but this is against the rules, besides, even after moving here, he, he can still come in through Wanwan..." "It's against the rules."
Qin Gentian raised his eyebrows lightly, "If you're not afraid of bad reputation, if you're not afraid of being domineering, you'll just drive Ah Hui out regardless of Wanwan's liking. If you take a step back, you care about your reputation, and if you want to bear it, then you can't see anyone in Zhenbeihoufu. When Dingwangfu endures until you enter Zhenbeihoufu, then you will find an excuse and deal with Ahhui directly."
She slowly talked about the choices Liu Yaona could make.
Liu Yaona's heart was flustered for a moment, she gritted her teeth, "Then I will stay in Prince Ding's Mansion for a while."
He chose to endure first.
But Gu Jiuxiao, who went to Guiyuan Temple to look for Lianhua, returned in defeat.
He went straight to the back mountain at that time, but he didn't find Lianhua's person. He was told by Master Yuankong, the abbot of Guiyuan Temple, that Lianhua had chosen to retreat to suppress the demons in his heart, but no one knew when he would leave.
Gu Jiuxiao had no choice but to return in vain, but happened to encounter a letter sent by Qinghe on the way.
She was active, and when she heard that Prince Ding's Mansion was investigating Mingfeng, she passed on some of the information she had collected earlier through someone she trusted.
Everything she could find out, ranging from interpersonal interactions to the location of some hidden strongholds, was recorded in the book.
Originally, Qing He thought that these were of no use, so she just kept them carefully, but now she has reached a cooperation with Gentiana Qin and the others, and once she returned to Ming Mansion, she asked someone to bring them over.
Seeing how easily she delivered things, obviously Mingfu didn't suspect her because of Bunan's incident.
In the eyes of everyone in Mingfu, Qing He is also a victim, not to mention she is still pregnant with Mingfu's eldest grandson, Mingfeng is more sympathetic to her being frightened, and sent her many gifts.
Gu Jiuxiao was not in a hurry to rush to the palace immediately, and found the nearest stronghold, and hurriedly looked at the information sent by Qing He.
After reading carefully, he discovered that Mingfeng was secretly contacting some people without telling the name of the old general.
Those people are either on good terms with famous families, or they have different factions from famous families.
It's fine if it's a normal relationship, but judging from the recorded information, Mingfeng's behavior seems to be purposefully recruiting some people.
Gu Jiuxiao curled up his fingers thoughtfully, tapped the table lightly, and continued to read intently.
When he saw that Mingfeng had been commuting to and from a certain Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city recently, he moved his eyes, raised his hand to beckon the hidden guard at the side, and said in a deep voice, "Do you still have an impression of this place?"
The hidden guard took a closer look. Isn't the specially marked place the Zhuangzi who they suspect is hiding the zombie
"The place named by Mrs. Ming specially. This is the place Mingfeng went to most frequently after returning from Bohai City."
Gu Jiuxiao's voice was deep, and his brows furrowed as he watched the time records of Mingfeng's visits again and again. His fingers fell on the last few times, so why did he feel that Mingfeng went more frequently.
He tilted his head to look at the sky outside, and said decisively, "I won't go back to the palace, I will go directly to that Zhuangzi tonight."
"yes!"
The night was getting dark.
A few black shadows quickly disappeared into the night.
Rongzhuang on the outskirts of the city.
This Zhuangzi is apparently owned by a family named Rong, but in fact it has already been bought by Mingfeng, and even the farmers who live in it are selected by him after thousands of choices.
Gu Jiuxiao and the others arrived at the Zhuangzi very early, and hid in secluded places one after another, waiting for everyone in the Zhuangzi to fall asleep.
The woman who was obviously in charge was full of thoughts. The rest of the people in the village had rested early, but she was still lighting the lamp. She didn't know what she was doing. She went out of the room several times to look in the warehouse.
There was a newly promoted small guard whose waist was about to break, and he couldn't help complaining, and muttered in a low voice, "There must be ghosts in that warehouse, otherwise she would always go there to see before going to sleep."
Before he could finish speaking, someone knocked hard, "Shut up!"
Immediately, everyone dispersed and searched carefully in each room.
Gu Jiuxiao went straight to the woman's house.
The old woman obviously held great power, and there were piles of account books on the village outside.
Gu Jiuxiao flipped through it casually, and frowned imperceptibly. The account book was written about the silver taels paid by each tenant. There were thousands of people, but this village is not big, and it can accommodate hundreds of people at most.
This is weird.
After looking through it, he put the account book back in its original place, and looked through it carefully, but he couldn't find anything suspicious.
After he went out from the mother-in-law's room, the rest of the hidden guards searched the small Zhuangzi, but they all returned in vain.
Xiaojia shook her head at him with a serious expression, "The subordinates of the warehouse that the woman went to several times also went to check, and there is no hairstyle."
Gu Jiuxiao instinctively felt that something was wrong, he raised his head and glanced at the full moon half-covered by the clouds, and said in a low voice, "My lord, go and have a look."
A few people came to the warehouse, the warehouse was full of rice, and the room was golden, which could be seen at a glance.
Gu Jiuxiao stopped at the door, frowned slightly looking at the rice all over the ground in front of him.
He pondered for a while, then suddenly turned around on the spot and raised his head.
But he saw a rope as thick as an arm hanging down from a hidden direction directly above the gate.
If it wasn't for his whim, standing on the threshold, turning around and looking up, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Gu Jiuxiao jumped up and grabbed the rope.
There was a click, and the only space in the warehouse where people could stand was exposed to a corridor that could allow two people to pass through.
Obviously there is a secret passage below, and I don't know where it leads.
All the dark guards looked at each other in blank dismay, only thinking that the person who built the secret path mechanism was also a whimsical idea, and they could think of everything like this.
"Leave two people outside to guard, and the rest will go down with the king to have a look."
Gu Jiuxiao ordered in a deep voice, and walked down the secret path first.
This is a slightly damp corridor, about ten steps away there is a torch for lighting, dense drops of water oozing out from the stone walls.
However, the passageway was moving abnormally and twisting around. When Gu Jiuxiao was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of "ho ho ho" from each other, and his complexion changed suddenly.
The sound of zombies! He hurriedly followed the sound, Xiao Jia and others also heard it, and hurriedly followed, not daring to let him face danger alone.
As the stranger got closer, the zombie became more agitated, slapping the iron cage desperately.
When a few people rushed to the place where the noise erupted, they saw dozens of large iron cages standing inside. Some of the iron cages were empty, leaving only a pool of dark red blood, but most of the cages were full of blue-faced and fang-toothed zombies.
"Ah!"
Seeing this all of a sudden, Xiao Jia couldn't bear to look directly at him, let out a soft drink, and turned his face away.
Gu Jiuxiao's face was livid with anger, and he wished he could cut off the heads of these zombies with a knife, but the most urgent thing was to find out where the zombies in the empty cages went.
"How dare Mingfeng, how dare he!"
Once the zombies here come out of the cage and bite someone, the whole capital may fall.
Who is the person behind Mingfeng, but with a famous peak, it is impossible to have such a great ability to quietly raise zombies in captivity and transport them out.
"Clear the traces and exit."
He gave an order, and everyone carefully removed the traces of their presence, closed the secret passage, and removed all traces.
Gu Jiuxiao left a few secret guards who were very good at hiding to watch closely, but he hurried back to the palace.
At the same time, the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.
Mingfeng led a team of Imperial Forest Army guarding more than a dozen large wooden boxes and transported them into the palace.
A few eunuchs smiled and accompanied him, thanking him non-stop, "Thank you, Commander, thank you Commander."
Mingfeng looked very humble and polite, "Father-in-law, you don't need to be polite, they just moved it conveniently. These boxes are very heavy and smelly, so just ask the guards to help carry them."
The eunuchs thanked each other and left in peace.
Mingfeng waited for them to leave, the smile on his face faded, "You take these boxes to the cold palace, be careful, don't let anyone find out, make them clean."
"yes!"
The rest of the guards bowed their heads to meet the voice, disregarding the bulky smell of these wooden boxes, and carefully disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing that they were almost gone, Mingfeng took out the sachet and swayed it around him. After confirming that there was no smell on his body, he walked towards the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
As soon as I arrived at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, I saw Hou with a sad face outside the house, with a slap mark on his face.
Mingfeng was taken aback. In this palace, who would dare to beat Eunuch Fu, except Emperor Shengyuan, he would not be other candidates. He hesitated for a moment whether he should go there, but Eunuch Fu saw him with sharp eyes.
"The leader."
Eunuch Fu hurriedly lowered his voice and shouted, walking towards him quickly.
Mingfeng put on a smile on his face, and greeted him, pretending to be surprised, "Eunuch Fu, what is this?"
Eunuch Fu immediately blocked his face, and said with a smile, "Hey, the eyes are not good when you are old. Look at our house, if you don't pay attention, you hit the wall and your face is swollen."
Mingfeng really admired his ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open.
Whoever hits the wall can knock out the Wuzhishan on his face.
But he was smart and didn't say anything, he just followed his words and laughed. He looked at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest which was still lit with candles at this hour, and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, why hasn't he stopped at this hour."
Eunuch Fu sighed and said, "Isn't it because of the matter of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces Chen Bing's border crossing, the border guard sent someone to send an urgent message to ask for more troops at the border crossing."
"Ming heard that the emperor intends to negotiate peace?"
Mingfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously lowered his voice and said tentatively.
Eunuch Fu nodded, and mentioned that his face was a little bit angry, "Originally Ding Wangfei was the best candidate, but I don't know why the emperor..." Thinking that he was slapped by Emperor Sheng Yuan just now after only mentioning Ding Wangfei, he felt his face hurt badly again.
Mingfeng thought for a while and hinted, "Perhaps Princess Ding is just a small person, and if she pushes it out, she won't be able to block the hearts of everyone in the world?"
"Why can't it be..." Eunuch Fu frowned immediately, obviously trying to make things difficult for Princess Ding.
After Mingfeng hinted that it was in place, he continued, "But although Concubine Ding is a small person, the people standing behind her are not small. Maybe the emperor is thinking about the people behind her..." "The Supreme Emperor has already passed away, so there is no one behind her..." Eunuch Fu said disapprovingly, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of Prince Ding.
Today's King Ding is not as pitiful as before, he is now the eldest son of Nanyue, the son whom the queen desperately wants to please.
But if King Ding doesn't make any progress, the queen will take second place and save the country with curves. Naturally, she will be a thousand times better to Princess Ding.
After the emperor left, another queen came.
Seeing Eunuch Fu's pensive look, Mingfeng knew that his hint was in place, so he secretly curled his lips and backed away quietly.
After being instructed by Mingfeng, Mr. Fu's brain was buzzing. He felt that this was simply outrageous, but at the same time felt that it was reasonable. He thought of Concubine Rou who dreamed of becoming a queen, and the couple Ding Wang who had a very bad relationship with him. He gritted his teeth and walked quickly to the closed door of the palace.
