Chapter 389 Looking at each other (1)
It’s a pity that Empress Jiang thought that she would be able to rest assured if she had won over the commander Yao Rongkai, but she didn’t know that the deputy commander Su Pengfei had long been eyeing her and wanted to take office. In this way, the cruel mother and daughter were able to beat each other in one fell swoop. Not to mention the Shence Army, even Gyeonggi Province might be theirs. What else can I worry about?
No wonder they walked slowly on the boat. I guess they would drink and tea after getting on the boat to celebrate with each other?
It's just a matter of laughing to the sky!
Thinking about it, Taiyechi's assassination of the emperor was successfully completed, and then he successfully left the palace and the city. He could help another confidant all the way south. He was like a tiger with wings. Thinking of this, Zhou Heng really didn't know whether he would like to express his admiration for the mother and daughter again.
But wait! After all, Gyeonggi Province is connected to the capital. This matter will soon spread to Jingli. Queen Jiang is also a ruthless person. Thinking of this, Zhou Heng asked the second child again:
"So you stayed another night later, so you want to see what's going on?"
"That's right," the second brother felt very satisfied. Miss Zhou had a clear idea and didn't need to explain it any more. Yet, how bad can the girl Prince Jing liked:
"At first, we wanted to see the subsequent situation. After all, Su Pengfei alone has the final say. Even if he was stopped by him and did not pursue the murderer, it was not a trivial matter to be assassinated by the commander of the Shence Army in full view of everyone. It happened during the national mourning period. In order to avoid being investigated and implicated in the aftermath, people in Gyeonggi Province were forced to turn back and send messages to Beijing. I don't know what the palace will react."
"Besides, when I came out, the prince told us to send him a letter when he left the city safely. We had done this that morning. However, the prince also said that if there was any change on the way, we should try to send him a letter. The third brother and I discussed it and felt that although this matter had nothing to do with us, it was a major change. After all, it was done by the empress dowager and her daughter. We have now changed to temporarily come to this town to settle down. This matter must be known to the prince to avoid losing news to each other. This is also related to our own follow-up."
"So my subordinates made a decision without authorization, thinking of waiting there and understanding the situation more. Uh, I forgot to say, Miss, that actually refers to outside the Water City Gate. Last night, my third brother and I stayed in the inn where we temporarily stayed after we came out of the city."
No wonder they saw two horses riding two horses just now. They turned out to have bought horses and whipped them back quickly from the capital. Zhou Heng quickly asked them:
"Is the city gate open?"
The third brother next to him heard this, coughed lightly and spoke, helping to talk about the situation in the capital:
"The city gate opened this morning, but because it was closed for so many days, the connection between inside and outside was not smooth, and all kinds of news were in chaos. People in the city rushed out, and the guards at the gate shouted hoarsely. My second brother and I were afraid that the lady would worry, so after watching, I thought to rush back and talk first. We were thinking that the city gate was not strict and we had to try to send a message to the prince."
"How to take it? You can't go to the city now." Zhou Heng felt that this matter was still a bit risky, although he also wanted to contact Shen Fu.
In this regard, the second brother reminded him a little surprised:
"Miss, you forgot. On the night you left the city, didn't the prince say that he would ask someone to stay in that inn for a few more days. If we have anything to contact him after we leave, we can send a letter to go there directly."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but widen his eyes. Why are there rats? It's so terrible!
