On the day of the banquet, Wen Qingzhu sent Lu Tao and Shaoyao to take care of Du Weiniang.
She took Jasmine and Xi'er by herself and followed Zuo Binning to the banquet.
When I arrived at the door, I saw many celebrities from Lingcheng, as well as many charming Jiangnan ladies.
Glancing over, Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly: "These people are really grand."
Zuo Bingning was confused: "When I came to the Zhang family before, the Zhang family also held banquets, but these people rarely brought women with them."
"This year is different." Wen Qingzhu took Zuo Bingning's hand and walked inside.
Their seats were arranged in a quiet courtyard.
Separated from the guests outside.
Not long after she sat down, Zhang Yao came over, smiling happily.
"Sister Bing Ning, sister Qingzhu, you guys came so early."
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu nodded.
After sitting down, Zhang Yao said excitedly: "By the way, today I want to introduce someone to you. He is also from the capital. Maybe Sister Qingzhu knows him."
"I think we know him." Wen Qingzhu smiled.
After Zhang Yao left, Zuo Binning asked her quietly: "From your tone, it sounds like you know the person Yaoyao mentioned."
Just after asking, Zhang Yao's voice came from the moon gate: "Brother Eleven, they are here."
Wen Qingzhu and Zuo Bingning stood up and looked at the person coming out behind Zhang Yao.
It was none other than Fu Shiyi.
The two parties came up to each other, and Fu Shiyi respectfully raised his hands and said hello: "Miss Wen."
Wen Qingzhu looked him up and down and found that he was almost uninjured. He looked at Zhang Yao again and said with a half-smile, "It seems that Mr. Fu got a blessing in disguise."
"I don't dare to take it seriously." After Fu Shiyi knew that Wen Qingzhu was coming, he planned this banquet with Mrs. Zhang.
He turned to Zhang Yao and said, "Yao Yao, Miss Wen and I have something to discuss. You and Miss Zuo sit here for a while."
"Oh." Zhang Yao was a little dazed. It seemed like they had known each other for a long time.
Wen Qingzhu and Fu Shiyi arrived in the yard next door.
The two of them were walking and chatting.
"Are there any witnesses or physical evidence?"
"Basically, we have it. Most of the people who came here today are from Zhang Chunnian's faction, but there are still a few cunning old guys who didn't come because of their poor health."
"Don't worry, someone will take care of this for you."
"You?" Fu Shiyi asked, but he felt that his tone was not very similar.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him sideways: "King Jiang Yuancheng of Chu, he has also come to Lingcheng."
"Why did he come here? When the palace changed last time, he wasn't..." Fu Shiyi suddenly opened his eyes wide and blurted out, "Zhang Ke!"
"The only one with this ability is Zhang Ke." Wen Qingzhu continued to walk forward, "If nothing else happens, King Chu will come back after this incident."
Fu Shiyi was puzzled: "Why did he seek refuge with King Chu?"
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said: "When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. Zhang Ke is not optimistic about His Highness Prince Rui. This is normal. But you should pay attention. Zhang Ke is very familiar with Lingcheng, even We are all very familiar with Zhang Chunnian, so don’t lose your own credit.”
Hearing what she said, Fu Shiyi also became serious: "I know, he is not a thing in the pool."
While walking, Fu Shiyi suddenly stopped: "No, if King Chu comes, Your Majesty will never be relieved unless he comes too."
Wen Qingzhu did not reply or stop, but just waved his hand: "I'll leave the outside matters to you. I've made arrangements for the Qiao family. This time you must at least keep your seventh-level credit. Otherwise, you After returning to the capital, Luo Chan will not be able to help but take action."
Fu Shiyi's body froze when he heard that long-lost name.
They were placed alone in a courtyard. Wen Qingzhu didn't know what was happening outside even if he tried to make things difficult for them.
Looking at the innocent and innocent Zhang Yao in front of him, Wen Qingzhu suddenly felt envious.
Although Mrs. Zhang was guilty of serious crimes, she still turned back for the sake of her daughter before she died.
She still admired Mrs. Zhang. In this case, she poisoned Zhang Chunnian neatly, and then used a ruse to get a promise from Fu Shiyi.
Returning to the capital this time, Fu Shiyi's future is limitless.
According to Fu Shiyi, he planned to ask the emperor for permission to marry him immediately after returning to Beijing.
This is the safest way to keep Zhang Yao.
But Luo Chan in the palace didn't know how she would react when she heard the news.
In the middle of the afternoon, the Zhang family's chief steward hurried in.
"Miss! Madam asked the villain to take you away!"
"What happened?" Zhang Yao stood up immediately. Although she was innocent and naive, her mother poisoned her father to death, and then pretended to be his father and summoned all his men.
Even though no one said it, she still knew.
The reason why she can be so calm is because she has always believed in her mother.
She has never let herself down.
"Miss Zuo, Miss Wen, please protect the young lady!" The chief steward bowed to them solemnly.
Zhang Yao burst into tears immediately and hurriedly went to help the big steward: "What's going on? Just tell me, I'll go find my mother!"
Zhang Yao turned around to leave, and Wen Qingzhu immediately gave Zuo Binning a look.
"I'm sorry." After Zuo Bingning said this, she quickly stepped forward, knocked Zhang Yao unconscious with one palm, and held her in her arms.
The head steward of the Zhang family bowed again: "Miss Wen, I leave everything to you. Madam said she will help Mr. Fu complete his role. I just hope that the young lady will not be implicated. She is the only innocent person."
"I know that we will also record Mrs. Zhang's achievements. Don't be too desperate. There is still room for improvement."
The chief steward's eyes turned red and he quickly led them out of the back door.
Not long after leaving Zhang's house, their carriage was stopped.
Xi'erle stopped the carriage, and Wen Qingzhu walked out and saw Jiang Yuancheng, the leader.
He looked at Wen Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, you can't take away the Zhang family."
Wen Qingzhu sneered: "Who said there was someone from the Zhang family in my carriage?"
"Then you dare to lift the curtain and let me check?" Jiang Yuancheng looked at her steadily.
Wen Qingzhu sneered: "May I ask whose order His Highness King Chu came to inspect my carriage?"
"Father's order!" Jiang Yuancheng said aggressively.
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu smiled lowly, and Jiang Yuancheng felt something was wrong.
I saw Wen Qingzhu reaching out and taking out a golden token given by the emperor, and gathered in front of everyone: "This is the token given to me by the emperor! Why don't you kneel down!"
Jiang Yuancheng took a deep breath, never expecting that Wen Qingzhu still had this thing in his hand.
He dismounted and knelt down on one knee: "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
Everyone who came with Jiang Yuancheng knelt down and saluted.
Wen Qingzhu then put away the token: "Does His Highness King Chu still want to inspect my carriage?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yuan refused to give in.
Wen Qingzhu's face turned cold: "What if I don't let you!"
"Then don't blame me for being rude! It's hard to disobey the emperor's order! You are the only carriage out of the entire Zhang family. Now that Miss Zhang has not been found, I can only doubt you!"
Jiang Yuancheng still said the same thing and insisted on not getting out of the way.
Wen Qingzhu's face turned completely gloomy: "What if His Royal Highness the King of Chu made a mistake? What if he missed arresting Miss Zhang instead?"
"If I make a mistake in my judgment, I will naturally go back and report it to my father!" Jiang Yuancheng subconsciously glanced at the Zhang family in the distance, but soon insisted on checking Wen Qingzhu's carriage first.
"Okay!" Wen Qingzhu smiled and stepped aside.
This refreshing scene made Jiang Yuancheng's heart tremble, and he immediately wanted to ride to the Zhang family.
But he also noticed that Wen Qingzhu's car curtain fluttered.
Jiang Yuancheng changed his attention again and decided to check Wen Qingzhu's carriage first.
He immediately led people forward and carefully opened the car curtain with his sword, only to find a basket with a white cat inside.
"Very good!" Jiang Yuancheng slammed the car curtain, said to Wen Qingzhu, and quickly got on his horse to chase the man.
After watching everyone leave, Wen Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting in the car, he told Xi'er: "Let's go quickly to pick up Bing Ning and the others. Zhang Yao won't be able to hold on for long."
Half an hour later, in Zhuangzi outside Qiaojia City.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu arrived at the door, he saw Zuo Binning coming with a sack.
After stopping, Wen Qingzhu immediately went to pick up the sack.
After loosening the rope, Zhang Yao's pale face was revealed.
"Bring Yaoyao in quickly." Wen Qingzhu immediately ordered Xi'er and Zuo Binning to take action.
When they arrived at the house, Du Weiniang sent someone to ask about Zhang Yao's situation.
Wen Qingzhu asked the maid to take the message back. Zhang Yao, who had just reacted, suddenly asked: "What's wrong with Wei Niang?"
"She's injured." Wen Qingzhu helped Zhang Yao up.
Zhang Yao insisted on visiting Du Weiniang, so Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to let her go.
When she saw Du Weiniang lying on her back, Zhang Yao burst into tears.
Lying on the bedside, crying, she asked, "Wei Niang, what's wrong with you? Why are you hurt so badly?"
Wen Qingzhu pulled Zuo Binning out and whispered to her: "If the estimate is good, Jiang Yuancheng will search the city tonight, and we must send Zhang Yao away overnight."
Hearing this, Zuo Bingning smiled bitterly: "We can't just knock her out, right? We were almost discovered when we came over just now."
"It's okay. Isn't it okay for Wei Niang to be here?" Wen Qingzhu pointed to the room.
Zuo Bingning recalled that Zhang Yao seemed to listen to Du Weiniang's words, so she felt relieved.
An hour later, Zhang Yao said goodbye to Du Weiniang with red eyes.
"Yao Yao, you have to live! Your father deserves it, but your mother still has a chance to survive. You have to take care of yourself! Sister Wen said she would remember your mother's contribution, so she will definitely be able to help your mother. Yes! She is amazing!"
"I know, I know! I listen to you." Zhang Yao grabbed Du Weiniang's hand and wouldn't let go.
But Zuo Bingning had to take Zhang Yao's other hand and force them to separate.
Wen Qingzhu stood at the entrance of Zhuangzi and felt relieved after watching Zuo Bingning's carriage leave.
Now that he is here, he will definitely save Zhang Yao.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Jiang Yuancheng and his men searched Wen Qingzhu's place.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the torches all over the yard and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, King Chu, didn't find anyone?"
"Which direction did Zhang Yao go?" Jiang Yuancheng stopped talking nonsense. He found that he seemed to be led by the nose.
This must not continue!
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is responsible for this matter. Why do you ask me, a weak woman?" Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly.
Jiang Yuancheng stopped talking nonsense and directly ordered: "Search for me!"
Soon, the people who had been brought here began to move.
After searching for half an hour, nothing was found.
"Your Highness, Zhang Yao was not found!" Someone came over to report Jiang Yuancheng.
His face became darker and darker, and he looked at her with a pair of wolf-like eyes: "I will remember this today!" "
Wen Qingzhu still had the same expression, which blessed him: "Your Highness, please go slowly, I won't send you off."
There was a rumble of horse hoofbeats, Jiang Yuancheng's people left, and Wen Qingzhu felt relieved.
She turned around and walked into the house and saw Shaoyao coming, so she asked, "What's wrong with Wei Niang?"
