The two looked at each other for a long time, and Wei Qinglin asked doubtfully: "Did Sister Qingzhu make any arrangements?"
Wen Qingzhu smiled and touched her head: "The arrangements are just the same as before. It's nothing. You can send the prince here tomorrow and I can take care of him together."
Although this answer did not reassure her, her sister always had her own reasons for doing things.
It was late at night and she didn't want to be disturbed. She said a few words to say goodbye and left.
Wen Qingzhu slept peacefully that night, without any dreams, and woke up early.
Lu Tao sent Yuanyuan and Manman over to show Wen Qingzhu.
She calculated the time accurately, and the regent would be back in about half an hour.
When Wen Qingzhu fed the two children to sleep, Fu Lie still didn't show up.
"What's going on?" Lu Tao couldn't help but crane his neck and look towards the door.
Wen Qingzhu reached out and touched Manman's thin face, and said pointedly: "Don't be in a hurry, people will be here soon."
Lu Tao may not understand the meaning of her words for a moment, but he can still sense that she has something else to say.
"The princess knows that the regent will not come back today? Is it because of Jiang Yuancheng's people's actions?"
Wen Qingzhu raised his head and was about to speak when he heard Wen Mingxuan's voice coming from the courtyard.
He said in surprise: "Why are you all here?"
These words made Lu Tao immediately stand up and run to the door of the main room. When he saw the person, his eyes widened.
Why are there so many people
She turned back to look at Wen Qingzhu in a daze: "Besides the young master, there are three other adults here."
Wen Qingzhu was not surprised. Wei Qinglin noticed something was wrong last night and rushed over immediately. Others even took notice of it.
"You let Mingxuan come in first, and the people behind them can discuss it themselves." Wen Qingzhu added a cushion to his back.
"Yes." Lu Tao turned around and walked out of the door, invited Wen Mingxuan to come in, and at the same time went to reply to the princess's words with the adults outside.
Wen Mingxuan walked closer to the inner room, sat next to Manman, and said sympathetically: "How is she these days?"
Looking at Man Man's face, Wen Qingzhu had a trace of guilt in his eyes: "There was an accident when I was born, and I suffered a little. However, Dr. Zhong and I have checked it out, and there will be no problems in the future."
After saying what the child said, Wen Mingxuan looked up at her with confusion in his eyes, but in the end he had no problem with what happened last night.
After asking a few simple questions about Jiang Yuancheng, he withdrew.
When I went out, I met Pei Yizheng waiting at the door.
"Master Wen." Pei Yi smiled lightly and walked in.
Wen Mingxuan couldn't help but look at the courtyard. Zhang Ke and Wei Lin were talking and laughing, looking very harmonious.
However, after serving as an official for several years, he could still see this pretended harmony at a glance.
Their coming here must be related to what happened last night.
"Master Zhang, Master Wei." Wen Mingxuan walked down with the same smile on his face.
In the inner room, Wen Qingzhu had already ordered Lu Tao to take the two children down.
Pei Yi looked at the moving cradle and praised: "What two cute little girls."
"If Mr. Pei likes it, you can have it." Wen Qingzhu laughed, and Pei Yi turned around, the smile in his eyes not diminishing.
After Zilaisu sat down, Pei Yi spread out the folding fan, shook it and said, "Is the change on the Emperor's side the decision of the Princess or the decision of the Princess and Emperor Huang?"
Do you want to test this? Wen Qingzhu smiled and said nothing, but picked up the tea cup and began to taste it slowly.
Pei Yi didn't want to wait like this, so he glanced at the door and said, "There are two adults waiting to see the princess outside."
Putting down the teacup, Wen Qingzhu lowered his eyes and said, "I will naturally do what I promised you. I hope Lord Pei will not interfere with the Emperor's affairs."
"However, the current emperor is very dissatisfied with the regent's palace. After the morning court, the emperor can deliberately keep the regent. If I am not wrong, the emperor should not know about this matter."
Pei Yi's eyes narrowed slightly and his voice became deeper: "I am indeed busy with other things, but do you know that once this matter is not handled well, it will be another mutiny. The regent's current reputation , but much higher than the Emperor."
"So what." Wen Qingzhu raised his eyelids and looked at him calmly, "Is this matter related to what you want to do?"
Pei Yi was startled for a moment, then suddenly laughed heartily, stood up and bowed: "It turns out that these are all in the princess's calculations. I'm the one who said too much. I hope the princess can get out of the situation as soon as possible."
After saying goodbye and leaving, Zhang Ke came in. After saluting, he said bluntly: "I have just met Mr. Wei Lin. He will not come back to see the princess."
"As expected, Wei Lin..." Thinking of what happened in the past, Wen Qingzhu looked at him with a smile and said, "At first, Mr. Zhang was hesitant, and I was a little worried, so I secretly chose Wei Lin again, just in case Mr. Zhang really wanted to be here one day. He became Jiang Yuancheng’s person.”
Zhang Ke cupped his hands and replied: "I understand that Master Wei Lin is indeed a rare talent. Although the Wei family did not bury him, his heart is not with the Wei family."
Wen Qingzhu smiled, acquiescing.
He turned to look at Zhang Ke and said: "Let's not talk about the court affairs for now. There won't be any big problems in a short time. Let's talk about Jiang Yuancheng's affairs first. Does he have any plans to take action?"
"Yes." Zhang Ke took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Wen Qingzhu.
After reading it quickly, Wen Qingzhu handed it back to Zhang Ke and said, "Follow his request."
This time Zhang Ke hesitated less: "Does the Emperor need to say something?"
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and his eyes became dark: "No, I promised Jiang Yuancheng to give him a chance."
A chance to die in your own hands.
At noon, Wen Qingzhu had just finished lunch and was about to take a lunch break when Fu Lie's voice came from outside the door.
"Is the princess awake?"
"I just went to bed. I'll go in and report." Lu Tao quickly turned around, but Fu Lie reached out to stop him.
There was no movement outside the door, but Wen Qingzhu knew that Fu Lie had not left.
She opened her eyes and said, "Lu Tao, bring me a glass of water."
The door was pushed open, and someone came in soon. It was not Lu Tao, but Fu Lie.
He sat by the bed and asked Wen Qingzhu, "Do you want to get up?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded, and Fu Lie helped her sit up and brought a water glass over.
After finishing the drink, she looked down at the cup in her hand and asked softly: "Did the Emperor give you any trouble?"
"It's not difficult." Fu Lie stretched out his hand and took away the cup in his hand.
The two men were very close, but silent.
It wasn't until Lu Tao came in to report that the Queen was here that Fu Lie asked, "Do you still want to use that method?"
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu answered firmly.
Fu Lie didn't say anything more, got up and went out.
Soon Wei Qinglin came over with the prince. Wen Qingzhu had just given birth to a child. He liked children very much, and his solemn mood was gone.
After Lu Tao took the prince down, Wei Qinglin looked at the door and said uncertainly: "Do you and the regent have any opinions that you have not agreed on?"
"It's not a big deal, as long as we think the same thing." There was no emotional change on Wen Qingzhu's face.
But after what happened this morning, she felt that this matter was not that simple.
After pondering for a long time, Wei Qinglin tried his best to use a calm tone and said: "Today, all the imperial censors impeached the regent. Did you know?"
Wen Qingzhu knew what Wei Qinglin was worried about and did not answer the question directly: "This kind of thing will happen more often in the future."
Seeing that she didn't care at all, Wei Qinglin was a little anxious: "Does Sister Qingzhu know that the emperor agreed to the draft?"
This surprised Wen Qingzhu: "Agreed?"
"Yes, Your Majesty—"
Before she finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu interrupted her: "Linlin, the emperor is the emperor, and such an emperor is a normal emperor."
Wei Qinglin's heart sank, and he did something after all.
In the next few days, Jiang Yuancheng seemed to have left the capital, and the patrols of the Forbidden Army were reduced by half.
Ruan Mi held on to the Yang family army led by Yang Song and refused to let go, while Lei Xiao respectfully asked the regent to return power to the emperor.
In contrast, the people in the Prime Minister's Pavilion and the Hanlin Academy were much silent.
The Prince Regent's Palace is very quiet. There are not many people coming in and out, but there are always people who can avoid certain people's eyes.
For example, Zhang Ke.
He was standing in front of the bed, talking to Wen Qingzhu about Jiang Yuancheng's troop deployment through the curtain.
After finishing, Wen Qingzhu suddenly laughed: "He picked a really good time."
"Then do you still want to agree to the conditions he proposed?" Zhang Ke asked again.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Except for Yun Wan's offer, I agree to everything else."
Zhang Ke suddenly understood what Wen Qingzhu meant and quickly left.
That night, Zhang Ke went out quietly and came to the courtyard at the foot of Lingyun Mountain.
At this time, he was dressed like an ordinary scholar and knocked on the door three times rhythmically.
Soon the courtyard door opened a crack, and a pair of eyes were revealed. He stared at Zhang Ke for several times, and finally opened the door and said in a low voice: "Sir, please, the young master is waiting for guests inside."
Zhang Ke, who had just walked in, paused and asked attentively: "Are there any guests at this time?"
The person who opened the door was already familiar with Zhang Ke. Seeing that there was no one around, he approached Zhang Ke and lowered his voice and said, "He is your subordinate, Zuo Shilang."
A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Ke's face and he stepped in.
After entering the room, he saw Jiang Yuancheng listening attentively to Zuo Shilang's words.
The noise he made when he came in was neither big nor small, and Zuo Shilang and Jiang Yuancheng must have heard it, but neither of them spoke, talking to themselves.
Zhang Ke was not annoyed, he knew very well that Jiang Yuancheng was such a person and would not miss any opportunity.
Even if this Zuo Shilang comes with bad intentions.
"My lord, my subordinates have already completed the matters you asked me to do." Zhang Ke bowed and bowed in a very low posture.
The two people in the room turned around and saw that Jiang Yuancheng came directly to you, with a hint of joy on his face: "What about mother?"
Zhang Ke bowed lower and said very apologetically: "Except for arranging for the wife to come out, all other things have been taken care of."
Jiang Yuancheng's joy disappeared immediately, but he did not blame Zhang Ke. After all, Yun Wan was detained in the Regent's Palace.
Ever since the prince was sent there by the queen, the level of martial law there has been even higher than in the palace.
"Sit down." Jiang Yuancheng sat down and pointed to the seat opposite Zuo Shilang.
Zhang Ke thanked him and took his seat. When he raised his eyes, he met Zuo Shilang's eyes.
Both of them saw deep wariness in each other's eyes.
It's not that Jiang Yuancheng didn't see the problem between the two of them, he just felt that Zhang Ke's affairs had been going too smoothly recently, so it might be a good idea to find someone to give Zhang Ke a beating.
"Since both of you are from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, things will be easy to handle. It just so happened that the Ministry of War also ruined my words."
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Shilang and Zhang Ke looked at each other, why are there people from Jiang Yuancheng in the Ministry of War
Seeing their reactions, Jiang Yuancheng smiled with satisfaction: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but he was not sure before. Today, he got a message back, so some things can be confirmed."
More than half a month has passed, and the rebels' affairs seem to have been forgotten.
At the Regent's Palace, Fu Lie brought back the titles of the two princesses.
There was supposed to be a full moon banquet, but Wen Qingzhu didn't like large crowds, so he invited Zhou Yi, Liang Pingshu and a few others over.
