Zhulan waited for Jinyan to leave, "Mrs. Song, I didn't forget anything, did I?"
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "The mistress has thought of everything."
Food, drinks, and daily necessities were all prepared. A dagger was also prepared for the adults, ahem, and there was also a knockout drug obtained from her.
Zhulan lost all her strength after sitting down. It was such an accident. She just hoped that Zhou Shuren would be safe. She and the children would wait for him to come back home.
Zhulan looked outside. It was already dark, a dark and windy night. Bah, what was she thinking about!
At the government office, Zhou Shuren has already discussed the manpower with Lord Wei, and the carriage is also ready. It's so cold, Zhou Shuren can't stand riding a horse, and he will definitely get sick after such a toss. Zhou Shuren will not torture himself. Anyway, the danger is always there, so it's better to be nicer to himself.
Zhang Jinghong was also very satisfied. After all, he was a prince and really didn't want to suffer.
Zhou Shuren got on the carriage, and the group left the city in a mighty procession before the city gates were closed. The news of the real and fake fifth prince was not blocked, and the whole Jinzhou knew about it.
Zhou Shuren was sitting in the carriage, and Song Xing was driving it. Jinyan and Shenxing were riding horses and guarding on both sides of the carriage. These were all the emperor's men. Zhou Shuren was sitting in the carriage eating meat pies. His wife was really thoughtful. It was already past mealtime when they arrived in the capital, and there was also the matter of the fifth prince. He must be hungry. Eating meat pies and drinking hot water was comfortable.
As for the Fifth Prince, Zhou Shuren also has to give it to him, but no one knows whether he will eat it or not, since the Fifth Prince is so pampered.
In the bag, Zhulan also prepared something for Jinyan Shenxing. Zhou Shuren handed it to a few people and was moved. Zhou Shuren smiled and said that Zhulan was really good at winning people's favor.
At the Zhou Mansion, Zhulan was calculating the time. She had been calculating silently since she left the city gate. Fortunately, it was getting dark, so no one came to inquire.
When the Zhou family's children heard the news, they all came to see Zhulan, but Zhulan sent them back.
The eldest wife, Li and Zhou Laoda, were no longer simple-minded. They simply felt that it was dangerous to go to the capital. Li said anxiously, "Dad is so powerful, he will be fine."
Boss Zhou uttered an "ah". Although his wife's tone was very sure, he still heard a tremor in the sound, "Hmm."
Li grabbed a handful of hair in annoyance. People say power is a good thing, and she did feel it, but it also has many dangers.
Boss Zhou hugged his fat wife and patted her back comfortingly. He felt flesh all over her back and was silent. Mrs. Li had gained weight again during the winter.
The couple in the second room sat opposite each other. Neither of them spoke a word. They were both thinking about their own things. For a moment, the second room was particularly quiet.
In the third room, Mrs. Dong said, "How can this fifth prince be fake? Oh my God, I will write a letter to my eldest sister now and ask my brother-in-law to take good care of Dad."
Chang Lian held his wife back and said, "The city gates are closed now, so I can't send it even if I write it. Besides, this matter involves the true or false fifth prince, so it's better for my brother-in-law not to get involved. Believe in Dad, he must know the answer."
Chang Lian had long learned to observe calmly. After the shock, he went to see his master. Although his master didn't say much, his attitude told it all. He understood that his father knew what was going on.
In the fourth room, Su Xuan sighed. When she heard the imperial decree granting the marriage, she felt sad for Yao Yao. Now the real and fake fifth prince were exposed. Yao Yao was taking care of the fake fifth prince. Then, Yao Yao would not only be talked about, but might even be confronted face to face.
Su Xuan would rather the Fifth Prince go back secretly than have it exposed, but she knew that her hope was wishful thinking.
Chang Zhi didn't like Su Xuan's sighs. He liked Su Xuan's lively expressions. He held Su Xuan's hand and said, "Dad will be fine."
The experience of the past few years has told him that his father is also growing up. He was incredible before, and now he is even more unfathomable.
Su Xuan looked at her husband with a hard-to-speak expression. Forget it. She should not scare her husband. Haha, the fake fifth prince is more useful than the real one. Too many people do not like the real fifth prince to return to the capital. It is dangerous for father-in-law to go to the capital. She leaned on her husband's shoulder and said, "Yeah."
On Zhulan's side, after Xuehan and Wuning returned to the yard, the two girls came back again. Zhulan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was really not that fragile. "I really don't need you to accompany me."
Xue Han took off her shoes in a naughty way and said, "I haven't slept with mom for a long time. I want to sleep with mom tonight."
Wu Ning took off her shoes embarrassedly. She came not only to accompany her aunt, but also to sleep with her.
Zhulan saw that she couldn't chase them away, and fortunately the bed at home was big enough, so she signaled Liuya to spread out bedding for the two girls.
In the capital, the emperor has already received the news. "The reaction is quick and smart. This must be the advice of the master behind the scenes."
The emperor had a gloomy face. What a master, he had a good plan. The emperor played with the jade pendant. He didn't want Jinghong's life. This was a bait, a very important bait. Besides, Zhou Shuren was investigating at this critical moment, so he really couldn't involve Zhou Shuren.
The Emperor asked Eunuch Liu, "Are the princes still in the Fifth Prince's residence?"
Eunuch Liu lowered his head and said, "Yes."
If the crown prince doesn't leave, the other princes won't leave either. They are all staying in the Fifth Prince's mansion!
The emperor curled his lips and said, "Go and calm down the second brother and his friends. Tell them to put their claws down and don't wait for me to take action."
Eunuch Liu: "Yes."
The emperor paused and continued, "Wait an hour and let the prince and the others enter the palace together."
Eunuch Liu: "Yes."
At the Fifth Prince's residence, the Crown Prince sat still, watching the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince go out and come back. The Crown Prince took a sip of tea and asked, "What news did they receive? Are their eyes full of excitement?"
The second prince felt upset. He found that the crown prince was becoming more and more straightforward. He missed the crown prince in the past. "Brother, you are joking. What news can we receive?"
The prince said, "We?"
The second prince shut up. Why doesn’t he learn his lesson
The Fourth Prince was excited that the Fifth Prince had appeared, actually in Jinzhou City. Then he frowned, wondering why Lord Zhou was involved. However, it would be nice if they could solve the problem together.
The third brother looked left and right, as if to say, "I don't understand what the eldest brother is saying."
At this time, Eunuch Liu arrived, delivered the message, and left without waiting for the princes to react.
The second prince's head was buzzing. His father was telling them openly that he knew what they had. The second prince swallowed his saliva. His father was really considerate and gave him an hour. Bah, so considerate. Ah, the order was issued. "Brother, I have something urgent to do at home, so I will go back first."
The third brother stood up quickly and said, "Second brother, wait for me. We can give me a ride."
The fourth brother clenched his fists, his heart pounding with fear. His father either remained silent for a long time, or as soon as he spoke, he could scare people to death. "Brother, I will go back first."
The prince said dimly, "It is indeed time to hurry up, otherwise the order will not be taken back, hey hey."
From the second prince to the fourth prince, they were cursing in their hearts, saying that the crown prince's gloating was too obvious.
On the way back to Beijing, Zhou Shuren didn't dare to sleep. He calculated the distance silently. The horse was traveling at a fast speed. It had been an hour and a half since they left the city. It was nice and peaceful.
