"The sky is going to change."
Zhou Chen sighed quietly, making Hua Lan look confused. She glanced at the sky outside.
"No, the weather is pretty good. It's not going to change."
I can't deal with Zhou Chen like this. Well, our lady is really a real person.
"This is not a sudden change. Please inform the people in the house that except for normal shopping, no one is allowed to go out today, including the fourth and fifth brothers in the courtyard."
Only then did Hua Lan react, and her face changed in shock: "Guanren, what you said is the change of heaven, is this true?"
"Ah, palace changes."
"ah?"
Hua Lan's body trembled, with a look of horror on her face. Although she had been the eldest daughter of the family for many years and had developed a mentality of being unfazed by honor and disgrace, she was still quite frightened when she heard Zhou Chen's words.
"Guanren, don't scare me. How did you know?"
Zhou Chen said quietly: "King Yong is about to be established as the crown prince, and the sword is about to be hung above his head. King Yan is not a person who just waits for death. He must fight to the death."
There were only the two of them here, and there was no need to worry about the walls having ears, so he told Hua Lan this to make Hua Lan mentally prepared.
"No matter how the day changes, it's the same for us. All we have to do is guard the door of the house to avoid trouble."
Zhou Chen warned Hua Lan.
To be honest, he had actually thought about whether to save the official family. After all, he was forced to have a palace. If he could save the official family and bring order to the chaos, it would be a great achievement.
But if he had no intention and led his troops into the city rashly, even if he attacked the imperial city and saved the officials, the Holy Heart is unpredictable. Who knows whether the officials would have thought that he had ordered troops to attack the imperial city without an order.
Things made him fearful.
After all, the Zhao family's empire came about through the mutiny of the Yellow Robes, so the Emperor Zhao valued military power very highly and tried his best to suppress military generals.
Therefore, he has a way to command the Dragon Guard Army, but if he really leads the troops to attack the city and rescue them, it is really difficult to predict whether it will be a great achievement or a disaster.
Life is very good now, and Zhou Chen doesn't want to ruin it. He has not been brainwashed by Confucianism and has no idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor. In everything, he puts the preservation of the Hou family first.
Now there is only one thing he is more worried about: whether Zhao Zongquan will come to Bianjing by chance like in the original plot.
Hua Lan suddenly looked panicked: "My father and Chang Bai are busy in the palace right now with the ceremony of crown prince's appointment. If a palace coup really happens, wouldn't they be in danger? Official, do you have any way to save them?"
Zhou Chen said: "Madam, don't worry, your father and Chang Bai are just in the old palace, helping to check the classics and standardize the ritual etiquette process. Even if there is a palace coup, they will not be implicated as civil servants, so it is relatively safe."
.”
"Even the palace coup happened, how can there be a safe place in the palace?"
"Now that the matter has come to this, I can only pray that they are safe and sound. I am afraid that there is no way in or out of the palace now."
Zhou Chen called Yuan Cai and gave him a few instructions. Then Yuan Cai looked shocked, nodded solemnly, and turned to leave.
"Guanren, where did you ask Yuan Cai to go?"
"Go to Sheng Mansion, just in case."
Zhou Chen knew that on the day of the palace change in the plot, Minglan went back to deliver food to her father and brother. It was such a coincidence that she encountered the palace change. In the end, she escaped through a dog hole, and then met a man with a blood edict and a tiger charm.
The palace maid was almost killed while escaping. Fortunately, she met Gu Tingye and others in time.
Now that Gu Tingye is still in the capital, if Minglan remains the same as in the plot, no one will save her.
So Zhou Chen simply refused to let her go to the palace. As for the little palace maid who escaped, he also made arrangements.
Shengfu!
Because Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai had not returned home for a long time, there were only a few female relatives and the only male Sheng Changfeng left in the house.
Since Lin Sushuang and Sheng Molan were sent to Zhuangzi outside the city, Sheng Changfeng was imprisoned for a period of time, which means he has settled down and has matured a lot now.
In the Shouan Hall, the old lady and Minglan were playing chess, while Hai Chaoyun next to them was doing embroidery.
She had been married to Sheng Changbai for almost a year, and the couple were very loving. This time Sheng Changbai hadn't been home for a long time, and she was naturally worried and missing her.
The three of them talked and chatted, and the conversation finally turned to their father and brother. Finally, they said they would deliver food to them, and Minglan volunteered to deliver it herself.
But while the meal was being prepared in the kitchen, suddenly Fang's mother walked in from outside and whispered in the old lady's ear.
"Yuan Cai, who is with the Marquis, has come and said that he has something important to tell you, but he can only tell you alone."
The old lady looked surprised, and then said: "Help me up and go out to talk."
"Grandma, let me help you."
Minglan and Hai Chaoyun both stood up and wanted to help the old lady.
But the old lady waved her hands and said, "You don't need to. Just stay here. I'll come back as soon as I can."
After saying that, she walked out of Shou'an Hall, and with the support of Fang's mother, she came outside the hospital.
I saw Yuan Cai standing outside. When he saw the old lady coming, he walked over quickly.
"Old lady Jin An,"
The old lady asked: "Did Saburo ask you to come?"
"Yes, the Marquis ordered me to come."
After Yuan Cai finished speaking, he did not continue and looked carefully at Fang's mother beside the old lady.
The old lady immediately understood: "Mother Fang, go and call everyone around you and don't let anyone get close to you."
"yes."
Yuan Cai glanced around, and after confirming that no one was there, he came to the old lady and told the old lady Zhou Chen's instructions in a low voice.
After hearing this, the old lady was immediately shocked.
"really?"
"That's what the Marquis ordered."
The old lady took a deep breath, her face still full of shock, because Zhou Chen's words were too terrifying, but she understood better that Zhou Chen could not lie to him.
"Okay, I understand, you should go back to the Hou Mansion immediately."
"Yes, the younger one will go back first."
"Mom Fang."
The old lady shouted, and Fang's mother quickly came over and helped the old lady back into the house.
Minglan was most familiar with the old lady. When she saw the old lady coming back with a serious face, she immediately realized what might have happened.
"grandmother."
Just as she was about to ask, the old lady raised her hand and glanced at Fang's mother and others.
"You all go down."
After the people left, the old lady sat down, looking very ugly.
"Tomorrow, go tell the lady and ask her to seal the door of the house immediately and not allow anyone to enter or exit."
"ah?"
Minglan and Hai Chaoyun were both stunned.
After the old lady finished speaking, she immediately realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, it's better not to go to the eldest lady. With her temper, she can't stabilize things. I can't tell her. There can be no chaos at this time. It is the right way to cope with all changes by staying the same."
Minglan asked in a low voice: "Grandma, what happened?"
The old lady said: "Don't ask, I can't tell you now. Tomorrow, you don't have to go and deliver food to your father and brother. Wait, let's wait."
Minglan and Hai Chaoyun are both smart people, especially Hai Chaoyun, who asked nervously: "Grandma, has something happened to the official and father-in-law?"
"It's not them. Okay, don't ask any more questions. You can't go anywhere today, just stay with me in Shou'an Hall. Tomorrow, you go see Chang Feng. If he is at home, let him stay at home and stay well."
When he goes out, if he is not at home, send someone to find him. Chaoyun, go and call your mother-in-law."
"yes."
Minglan and Hai Chaoyun walked out of Shou'an Hall, and they looked at each other in confusion.
They didn't know what happened, but looking at their grandmother's expression, they knew that someone sent by their eldest brother-in-law must have told her something that made her so nervous.
