The news that the Princess Regent was taking a beautiful young man with her spread quickly throughout the city like the wind.
This time no one deliberately spread the news. It was Wen Qingzhu who changed his clothes and took the young man through the streets. He was seen by many people and slowly spread.
In the tea shed, Wen Qingzhu sat down with the young man and asked the boss to serve tea.
Soon two large bowls of green and fragrant tea soup were served and placed in front of them.
The young man's eyes suddenly lit up with joy, he quickly picked up the bowl and took a sip of it in an upright manner.
The sweetness and sourness on his tongue spread quickly, and this familiar taste made him relax physically and mentally.
After carefully putting down the tea bowl, the young man stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Princess, for bringing me here."
"You're welcome, sit down." Wen Qingzhu smiled and waved, and the young man sat down again.
She has been carrying this child for almost ten days, and she has never asked his name.
The young man did not take the initiative to say anything, and the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention this matter.
After finishing the tea soup, Wen Qingzhu took out the money to pay the bill and took the young man into the alley again.
Inside the Xuanzheng Hall.
After listening to Ye Qian's report, Jiang Yuanhan raised his head slightly: "Sister is still taking that boy through the streets?"
"Yes, the princess has not seen anyone in the past few days. Only the eldest prince has caught the wind and cold. Lu Tao went over to say something and the princess came back for a visit." After Ye Gan finished speaking, he looked at the emperor's expression becoming more and more solemn. .
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yuanhan suddenly asked: "Is there any progress in the case at the Lingyun Mountain Farmhouse?"
Ye Qian replied: "Yes, it is currently confirmed that it was someone from Jiang Yuancheng who did it."
"Oh? He still dares to return to Beijing? Did Su Huo say this?" The news from his sister came back early in the morning, but Jiang Yuanhan wanted to know why.
Ye Qian thought for a while and said: "It was Master Su who said it. He... He said that he judged it from two points. The first one was to lock the door from behind. Three wooden strips were used to form a fixed shape to block the door panel. .Even someone with an inside job can’t open it.”
"So powerful?" Jiang Yuanhan became a little interested.
Recalling Mr. Su's last words, Ye Qian hesitated.
Jiang Yuanhan said calmly: "Is there anything you can't say?"
Sensing the emperor's displeasure, Ye Qian immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I remembered later that Mr. Su said that the clue was provided by the princess."
Did your sister provide it? Jiang Yuanhan lowered his head and looked at the memorial in front of him. On it was the secret letter sent back by Fu Lie.
He was rushing back quickly. He already had evidence in his hand, and Jiang Yuancheng was ready to take action on the eighth day of December.
After closing the secret letter, Jiang Yuanhan raised his head and ordered: "Go on."
The tone and voice finally returned to normal, and Ye Qian continued: "Later, when I examined the wound of the deceased, I found that this kind of wound was not caused by humans."
"Okay, I understand, stand down." Jiang Yuanhan waved his hand. He already knew about Jiang Yuancheng's escape from Zizhu's arrow.
In the evening, Wen Qingzhu took the young man back to the palace and ordered people to prepare dishes from the late period of the previous dynasty.
The young man was very happy and thanked him repeatedly.
After eating and drinking, the young man suddenly asked: "Have you got the answer you want, Princess?"
Wen Qingzhu leaned on the couch, looked at the snow particles outside the window, and said calmly: "Yes, I already know the answer, thank you very much."
"You're welcome, Princess. I'll take my leave now." The young man bowed and saluted, then said goodbye and left.
When Lu Tao waited for the young man to leave, he felt a little confused: "Princess, you have been talking about food, clothing, housing and transportation these days. Although the young man talked about the difference between the outside and the Ji family, he didn't say what Jiang Yuancheng got, right?"
Wen Qingzhu handed her the cold heater: "Go and get a hot one, and I'll explain."
After returning with the new heater, Lu Tao opened the door and saw Xie Feichen standing in front of Wen Qingzhu holding his sword.
Even though he was an acquaintance, she was also startled.
It was true that Xie Feichen's eyes were too cold. Lu Tao walked in worriedly and asked with a smile: "Why are Mr. Xie here? Do you want to sit down?"
What she actually wanted to say was, if nothing happens, just leave.
Wen Qingzhu held his waist and sat up straight. He smiled and answered for Xie Feichen: "He wants to hear the answer."
After speaking, the chair in the distance said: "Bring two chairs over, sit down and listen carefully."
The chair was moved and Lu Tao asked Xie Feichen to sit down. He pursed his lips and said nothing, as if he didn't hear anything and just stared at Wen Qingzhu in confusion.
Lu Tao looked at his master in embarrassment.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "Then you can sit down."
Lu Tao dared not sit down when there were guests. He shook his head repeatedly, and Wen Qingzhu explained what happened this time without any force.
"I went to the Ji family to ask for someone, of course because Jiang Yuancheng learned the Ji family's way of doing things from the Ji family."
"The purpose of taking the boy for a stroll this time is to see the difference between the Ji family and ordinary people, and to understand the Ji family's thoughts. Then I know what Jiang Yuancheng is going to do."
"Of course it's not enough to know what he wants to do, so I also asked about the books in the Ji family that have been read by outsiders these days."
"Besides me, it should be Jiang Yuancheng."
Having said this, Wen Qingzhu paused for a moment, looked across the two of them, looked at the falling snow outside the glass window, and said sadly: "You may not believe it, but I know him better than Yun Wan in this world."
"I believe it." Xie Fei said coldly.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him with a smile and said gratefully, "It's great that someone still believes in me."
However, Xie Feichen did not leave, but asked again: "Did you agree to Pei Yi when you met him?"
There was sudden silence in the room, and the atmosphere became solemn.
Lu Tao was not afraid of Xie Feichen before, but since that time in Yaoshen Valley, she felt that Xie Feichen seemed to be a different person.
Since then, I have always been wary of him.
"Brother Xie, you are just like me and don't deserve to die." Wen Qingzhu suddenly raised his eyes and said something seemingly irrelevant.
Xie Feichen turned around and said, "Yes, you don't deserve to die, but Pei Yi refuses to let Miaomiao go, and he refuses to let you go."
"I volunteered." Wen Qingzhu raised her hand and asked Lu Tao to help her up.
Looking at his back, Wen Qingzhu suddenly said: "What if Miao Miao also volunteers?"
Xie Fei said nothing, walked to the door, opened the door, and submerged his feet into the wind and snow.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the cold wind carried goose feather snowflakes and rolled them into the house.
Green Tao stamped his feet and ran to close the door, but Wen Qingzhu stopped him: "Don't close it for now. I'll take a look at the snow. I haven't seen it for a long time."
"But you will be cold." Lu Tao turned around worriedly.
Of course it will be cold, but Wen Qingzhu can wear more clothes, not to mention there is an earth dragon in the house.
In fact, she was not cold, and she was not worried that things would go wrong with Jiang Yuancheng.
It's just that I feel a little sad. What about after killing Jiang Yuancheng
The sun rises in the early morning, and the whole capital is covered in snow. The adults sweep the snow, but the children are very happy and roll in the snow.
In the past, auspicious snow heralded a good year, but if the snow is too heavy, like the one in Yunzhou, some people are still worried.
The days flew by to December, and Wen Qingzhu's belly grew bigger and bigger.
She is now using an abdominal support belt, and when she sits down to rest, she always feels that her belly is abnormally large.
He checked his pulse carefully and even asked Angelicae to come over and take a look.
Withdrawing her hand, Angelica muttered: "They shouldn't be twins."
Wen Qingzhu looked down at his belly: "But it's too big, and something feels wrong."
"Could it be that the fetus is too big?" After saying that, Angelica laughed at herself. Wen Qingzhu is the best doctor, how could he not know how to control diet and exercise.
Turning to look at the servants coming and going outside, Wen Qingzhu suddenly said: "The emperor must have received news from Fu Lie, right?"
These words made Angelica's heart skip a beat, and it took her a long time to ask, "Didn't the Prince Regent send you a message?"
Wen Qingzhu turned around and smiled: "I gave them away, but they are all insignificant. Recently, Xi'er said that she always feels like someone is following her, which makes me a little worried, fearing that Jiang Yuancheng is back."
"Probably not." Angelica also became serious, "How about I ask the emperor on behalf of the princess?"
Wen Qingzhu waved his hand: "No, if the emperor really wanted to tell me, he would have spoken long ago and would not have waited until now."
When Angelica left, Xi'er ran in again.
She looked a little panicked: "Princess, I feel that the person those people may be staring at is not me, but Mrs. Jin."
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows: "They got married? Why didn't I hear about it?"
Xi'er lowered her head in despair and whispered: "No, but Yuanbao invited Mrs. Jin's relatives to come and said that she had changed her horoscope. Because she was worried that the child would be discriminated against, she planned to hold a make-up wedding after the baby was born."
"Did Jin Yuanbao do all these things without telling Mrs. Jin?" Wen Qingzhu suddenly said.
Xi'er suddenly raised her head, her eyes suddenly darkened, why did she say this in front of the princess.
How could a smart person like the princess not know the reason
Looking at Xi'er's expression, Wen Qingzhu shook his head slightly and raised his eyes to see Beidou outside the door. He stood motionless at the door, giving people a very stable feeling.
When Xi'er was about to resign, Wen Qingzhu called her out: "Wait a minute, since Jin Yuanbao insists on marrying someone else, I won't stop you, but I should take care of your life-long affairs for you."
"I...I'm not in a hurry." Xi'er's words were completely unconvincing.
Wen Qingzhu waved her over and asked her to sit down: "I'm not urging you, just wait for another year. If it's not suitable, I will propose a marriage for you. You just stay at home this month, so don't go, okay?" "
Doze's words still made her feel a little scared after all.
"Okay." Xi'er responded.
After leaving, the room fell into silence.
Until Yinniang came in and said, "Princess, everything is ready."
Wen Qingzhu then stood up: "Well, we can start."
In the winter of the second year of Zhaowu, the regent princess went to court and asked the emperor to hang Yun Wan at the city gate to appease the grievances of the Shazhou soldiers.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Jiang Yuanhan also looked at her quietly, making it impossible to guess what he meant.
Until Su Huo stood up and asked, "Princess, has Jiang Yuan appeared as his mother?"
"Of course I will." Wen Qingzhu was confident.
Su Huo nodded and backed away without asking any more questions.
There was another moment of silence until Pei Yu stood up and asked, "Wouldn't this damage His Majesty's wisdom?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, this is the grudge between Yun Wan and my son. History will record it clearly and the people will know it." Wen Qingzhu assured.
Pei Yu disagreed: "This will also damage the princess's reputation."
Wen Qingzhu laughed: "What reputation do I have now? I coerced the emperor to order hundreds of officials, interfered in the harem to prevent the draft, and even forced Prime Minister Pei away."
"Don't worry, Princess, I will deal with these rumors personally." Pei Yu suddenly became serious and made his position clear.
This made many people look at him sideways and feel very contemptuous. As expected of being a cunning person, giving him a bone is his master.
Pei Yu didn't care about those looks, because he knew very well that only Wen Qingzhu could give him what he wanted.
Wen Qingzhu held his waist and turned to look at Jiang Yuanhan: "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well. Can you give me an answer as soon as possible?"
The person on the dragon chair still didn't reply, looking at her calmly.
After standing for a while, Wen Qingzhu said helplessly: "I hope the emperor will reply as soon as possible, otherwise I may take action in advance."
Most of them rolled their eyes inwardly, then what are you asking in court
Everyone knows that the emperor will not do anything to her.
