Halfway through the day, all the hunting men came back. Everyone had gained a lot, and General Qin was the best among them. However, in front of the huge bear, all the prey were eclipsed, and Cui Weizhen was the well-deserved leader.
However, except for the uninformed female family members, most of the husbands had no intention of paying attention to who the leader was. King Wei's confidants all knew about this carefully planned assassination. After visiting the Queen of Wei, they gathered together and gave it to the King of Wei.
Made a plan.
This assassination must not be simply forgotten.
The next day, Emperor Xuanwu was furious after learning the news, and most of the servants in the imperial village were replaced. General Zhao of Xishan Camp was imprisoned for dereliction of duty, and his immediate family was sentenced to confiscation of their homes and exile;
The prince was beaten to death, and King Ke was the first to bear the brunt...
The emperor was angry, and the entire capital fell silent. The two dandy boys who were riding horses in the downtown area were swept away by the typhoon. Not to mention that they and I were dismissed from their posts, they were also expelled from the army.
Under such circumstances, everyone became more honest, and there were even fewer dandies visiting Flower Street.
Ye Zhenzhen learned all this information from Cui Weizhen. At that time, she was checking the bruises on Cui Weizhen's palm, and confirmed that it was really gone before she was in the mood to ask others: "Where are the two eunuchs in Huangzhuang? There is no such thing in Dali Temple.
Can you tell me why?"
Cui Weizhen leaned on the pillow of the sofa. The exhaustion of the past few days made him look a little tired, but the stern look in his eyes did not diminish: "The two eunuchs... committed suicide on the way to Dali Temple."
"Ah, committed suicide?"
Ye Zhenzhen frowned. The two eunuchs were fine when they were looked at by King Wei's people, but something happened when they were transferred. It was absolutely impossible to say that there was nothing fishy.
A serious question came to her mind: "Are the people in custody from Dali Temple?"
"yes."
"Wouldn't Master Zhou be implicated?"
Cui Weizhen nodded and comforted her: "Don't worry too much. The emperor was just angry for a moment and asked Mr. Zhou to go back to the palace to write a confession. After a while, the emperor's anger subsided, and Mr. Zhou can go back to court."
Ye Zhenzhen was worried about both Ning Yan and Cui Weizhen. She said worriedly: "The person behind the scenes is so cunning that people can't catch him. If it doesn't work this time, I'm afraid he will make trouble again next time. Wei Zhen,
You need to be more careful recently, and bring more guards with you when you go in and out, so as not to let the bad guys succeed."
Cui Weizhen's eyes dimmed: "Don't worry, the situation has been tense recently, and that person won't dare to do anything again for a while."
Hope so.
Something happened to Mr. Zhou, and the Zhou mansion was in chaos. Zhou Xunting had an official position and could not stay in the capital for a long time, but Chu Ningyan had to stay. Not to mention that the family was experiencing disaster, but her children were everywhere in the mansion.
In a messy situation, she doesn't trust others to take care of her.
Fortunately, the clouds did not cover him for too long. After Mr. Zhou's confession of begging was presented, Emperor Xuanwu, who had already calmed down, stayed and asked him to return to the Yamen to work on another day. The storm was over.
However, Chu Ningyan did not return to Jingning County immediately because her friends Qin Yuyuan and Mo Qingwei received good news that they were going back to Beijing with her husband to report on their work.
Qin Yuyuan and Mo Qingwei had previously served as officials with their husbands. During this period, they could only communicate through letters. Although they were close to each other, their affection for each other did not diminish at all, but became stronger.
Ye Zhenzhen and Chu Ningyan were counting the days until they could return to Beijing and were ready to take care of them.
Qin Yuyuan and Mo Qingwei's return to Beijing happened to be at the beginning of winter. They first rested at a post station in the suburbs and sent servants to the city in advance to inform their relatives and friends. Ye Zhenzhen and Chu Ningyan were one of them, so they could
The two of them were waiting at the gate of the city.
It was a rare clear day. Ye Zhenzhen and Chu Ningyan waited eagerly at the gate of the city. Finally, they saw the carriages and horses with signs hanging on them slowly entering the city. Chu Ningyan couldn't hold it back and directly waved her handkerchief and shouted,
The curtain of the carriage at the front was opened, revealing Qin Yuyuan's quiet and beautiful face.
"Zhenniang! Yanniang!"
Qin Yuyuan was overjoyed and quickly parked the car on the handlebar. She ran out without any image of a lady and gave Ye Zhenzhen and Chu Ningyan a big hug. The smile on her face was even brighter than a summer flower.
Guanglan: "I miss you so much. I have been counting the days to return to Beijing every day, but the road was blocked by heavy snow on my way back. It took me a while and I can only return now."
Mo Qingwei also followed behind. She was more reserved than Qin Yuyuan, but she could not suppress the excitement and joy on her face when she saw her old friends again. She held their hands and said with a smile: "I have been away from Beijing for many years.
The prosperity of the city has become a shadow, and what I miss the most is the days when the four of us had a drink around the fire. See you again today, and we can finally renew our relationship. Zhenniang, are you ready for the hot pot?"
Ye Zhenzhen was a little sentimental at first, but Mo Qingwei's last words made her laugh. She said angrily: "You are greedy. Every time you send a letter back to Beijing, you always ask me for food. I was worried that you would go there."
I was not satisfied with the diet in the south, but now I see that I am plump and well-rounded, and I am living a pretty good life as a child."
Isn't that right? Qin Yuyuan and Mo Qingwei's faces are not weathered, and they seem to be a little fatter than when they left Beijing.
Ye Zhenzhen may not understand, but Chu Ningyan understands this very well. With a mother-in-law in the capital and a sister-in-law in the capital, life is definitely not as comfortable as being the master of the family.
If you have a broad heart and a fat body, doesn’t that mean you are fat?
Chu Ningyan looked at her friends and said unkindly: "It's true that you are a bit mellower, but why do I think you guys are a lot darker? Could it be that you guys go out for outings and race horses all day long?"
Mo Qingwei smiled bitterly: "How do you know the climate there? There are always more days and summers than in the capital. The sun is so hot that you can get tan even if you sit indoors. How can you prevent it?"
"Isn't it? If it weren't for the gouache and skin care that Mother Zhen sent us, we would probably be reduced to charcoal right now." Qin Yuyuan answered: "We are better off staying at home all day long, but the husbands are in trouble.
, if you don’t identify them carefully, you may not be able to recognize them.”
Not to mention, Ye Zhenzhen had already seen Qin Yuyuan and Mo Qingwei's husband. She blinked and secretly took a breath, not believing her eyes -
Are these two middle-aged uncles really the husbands of good friends?
One is Zheng Xuan, the second son of the Imperial Academy, who is famous throughout the capital for his elegance; the other is Qin Heng, the third son of the lord of Yuning County and the nephew of the current emperor, who is unparalleled in noble aristocracy throughout the capital.
Now, the handsome gentleman in the past has become a handsome uncle with dark skin. What have these two brothers experienced in the past few years?
Ye Zhenzhen was filled with emotion and sighed from the bottom of her heart: "This is a hard lesson. Raising children cannot prevent aging, but sun protection can!"
