A few days later, Juan Niang, who agreed to Qin Banruo, led Qin Banruo to the street in the backyard of Su Zhai.
Today is the day when Qin Banruo found out that Tong Lu would come to deliver food to Su Zhai.
The two of them were sitting in a tea room not far from the backyard of Su's house. Qin Banruo told Juan Niang the real purpose of his visit to her.
Juan Niang originally thought that Qin Banruo wanted her to use her beauty to defeat Mei Changsu, because her most powerful weapon was her beauty.
But Qin Banruo's words left her speechless, because the person Qin Banruo actually let him attack was actually a farmer who delivered food to Su Zhai.
"Fourth sister, don't underestimate this man who delivers food."
Juan Niang asked puzzledly: "Is there anything strange about this man? In such a big house, aren't the people who deliver vegetables, water, and fruits all the time?"
Qin Banruo said: "This person's name is Tong Lu. I have several broken informants, all of whom are more or less related to him. Fourth sister, think about it, even if he encounters a hero who saves a beauty, he
I can't just save the beauty in my hands, so, fourth sister, you must help me with this."
"What's even more strange is that he is a vegetable seller living in a dilapidated courtyard. He is obviously an insignificant person, but even Uncle Qian couldn't find out more about his origins, and he usually often
Among the several places I went to, there was actually Su Zhai. Thinking about all the things in the past, how could I not be frightened."
To be honest, her reaction was not very fast. If it were Mei Changsu or her master Princess Xuanji, she would have noticed the problem long ago.
And she didn't react until now. If Princess Xuanji hadn't left her with astonishing hidden clues and channels before she died, she wouldn't have been able to get as far as she did now.
Juan Niang asked doubtfully, "Are you sure that the failure of your Red Sleeves move is really related to Su Zhai?"
Although she has not walked in the rivers and lakes for a long time, she has heard about the power of the Jiangzuo Alliance. If it weren't for Qin Ban's weak affection and the overt and covert threats, she would not be willing to go out and wade into this muddy water.
.
"The Su Zhai is too mysterious. Uncle Qian has been investigating for so long and has gained nothing at all. Thinking about the past events, I dare to conclude that the downfall of the Red Sleeve Moves must have something to do with the Su Zhai."
"Just like what happened last year when Princess Nihuang was choosing a son-in-law, we were assassinated in Hong Xiu Zhao. The person who was assassinated was Gong Ziyu, and Gong Ziyu had frequent contacts with Mei Changsu and had a very good relationship. I suspect
That assassination incident was because they were deliberately targeting us, but there was no evidence."
"Gongziyu? That Gongziyu on the master list and the young master list?" Juan Niang looked curious.
Qin Ban weakly nodded and said: "Yes, it's him. This person is a master on the Langya master list. He has strong martial arts. He was inexplicably assassinated and injured in our red sleeve move. I didn't think much about it at the time, but it happened like this.
After so many things, when I think back now, I just feel cold all over."
"Gong Ziyu has an extraordinary relationship with Mei Changsu. Originally, I wanted to let you charm him, but after thinking about it carefully, I decided not to."
"Why?"
Juan Niang was puzzled. The fact that Gong Ziyu was on the Young Master Ranking meant that his talent and appearance were definitely not bad. In addition, with his strong martial arts skills, he was better than a rough guy like Tong Lu. If she had a choice, she certainly didn't want to choose Tong Lu.
Qin Banruo said: "Because although Gong Ziyu is romantic by nature, he already has a fiancée and she is pregnant. It is difficult to seduce him."
It is obviously easier to seduce a man without a woman than a knowledgeable young man with a woman.
In order to persuade Juan Niang, Qin Banruo told her all the things that had happened to her in the past six months. Finally, Juan Niang agreed to help her once, but she also explained that it was the last time.
On the outskirts of the capital, Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu stood in the farewell pavilion.
They have been to this place several times, and this time they came here to say goodbye.
"I don't think Jingrui would be happy to see me." Mei Changsu sighed quietly.
Zhou Chen said: "Jing Rui is a very open-minded kid, but what happened last time really made him feel cold, but he should be able to figure it out, give him some time."
Mei Changsu said: "How could I blame him? I was indeed sorry for him last time."
Xiao Jingrui left Jinling City without any fanfare this time. He just traveled with his sister Yuwen Nian.
Not long after they left the capital, they met Yan Yujin and chatted with Yan Yujin for a long time. When they were about to leave, they saw Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu standing in the pavilion.
Xiao Jingrui did not hesitate and went directly to the pavilion.
"Brother Yu, Mr. Su."
You can tell Xiao Jingrui's meaning from the title. He is still called Brother Zhou Chenyu, but Mei Changsu has changed from Brother Su to Mr. Su. The meaning of alienation is very obvious.
"Jing Rui."
Mei Changsu felt uncomfortable, but he was still polite.
Zhou Chen walked to Xiao Jingrui and said softly: "Brother Su has something to tell you. You can have a good chat with him. I'll wait for you nearby."
Xiao Jingrui nodded, and then stayed in the pavilion to talk to Mei Changsu.
After a long time, Xiao Jingrui finished talking to Mei Changsu and walked next to Zhou Chen.
"Brother Yu, this is our farewell. I don't know when we will see you again."
"I believe it won't take long. After all, Nanchu is just Nanchu, not your hometown. I believe you will definitely return to the capital."
Xiao Jingrui smiled, Zhou Chen's words touched his heart. He went to Nanchu just to see the so-called biological father, because the man was seriously ill and he still had to see him for the last time.
But he never thought about living in Nanchu. As Zhou Chen said, Daliang is his home, and he will come back when the matter in Nanchu is settled.
"Brother Yu, Qier's matter is still a threat to you, and my great-grandmother is also being rescued by you. Please do your best."
"Don't worry, Jingrui, I'm going to tell you before you leave. Don't blame Brother Su too much. He also has his difficulties."
Xiao Jingrui did not answer, but asked: "Brother Yu, have you known Brother Su for a long time? I think your relationship is not like ordinary friends."
Zhou Chen said: "You can see, my relationship with Brother Su is indeed deeper than you think. It is precisely because of this that I understand him better. He really doesn't have any malice towards you. The reason why he dealt with Xie Yu is not only
Not only to honor the king, but also to help me."
"Help you? Is it because of Miss Gong Yu?" Xiao Jingrui was extremely shocked.
"Yes, just to help me, not just because of Gong Yu."
Zhou Chen didn't say anything about Mei Changsu, but only about himself: "Gong Yu does have a grudge against Xie Yu, and I also have a deep grudge against Xie Yu. Jingrui, to tell you the truth, I was once of noble birth, so I ended up living in the world."
, was harmed by Xie Yu."
Xiao Jingrui was shocked. He never thought that there was such a secret in it.
"Brother Yu, you..."
"Jing Rui, I treat you as my best friend, that's why I'm telling you this, and I've only told you that my status is special and I can't take revenge on Xie Yu. Brother Su was helping me last time, so you can't
Don’t blame Brother Su entirely, I’m also responsible.”
"I'm sorry, I didn't know about these things, and I didn't know that Brother Yu had experienced something like that."
"It doesn't matter, I just want you to keep what I said a secret."
Xiao Jingrui said solemnly: "Brother Yu, don't worry, I will never reveal a word to anyone."
He used to find it strange that Zhou Chen was different from ordinary people in the world, with extraordinary temperament and nobility. Now he was relieved when he heard Zhou Chen say that he was once a powerful person.
Zhou Chen glanced at Jingrui and said seriously: "Maybe you will know my identity next time you return to the capital. I guarantee you will be very surprised then."
Xiao Jingrui smiled casually and said: "Then I will look forward to that day."
"Go ahead, Jingrui, everything you have encountered recently will only make your life more exciting, and will not become a stumbling block for you. You have to make your life better."
"Brother Yu, the thing I regret least in my life is making you my friend. I look forward to our next meeting."
Xiao Jingrui left, and Mei Changsu walked to Zhou Chen's side. The two of them watched Xiao Jingrui leave from a distance.
Yan Yujin also came over on horseback, and then returned to the city with Zhou Chen and the others.
…………
Zhou Chen finished treating the Queen Mother and saw the Queen Mother sleeping, so he left the palace quietly without disturbing her.
As soon as I went out, I met someone.
"I've met Concubine Jing."
A few days ago, Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan was named Prince, and Concubine Jing was promoted to Concubine Jing. For this matter, Prince Yu was very angry. Before the crown prince was resolved, another Prince Jing came, so these
He often complained to Mei Changsu, and secretly wanted Mei Changsu to help him find a way to deal with Prince Jing.
Mei Changsu was also very annoyed by Prince Yu. He could not persuade Prince Yu at all costs, so he could only delay the matter. At the same time, he asked Prince Jing not to be high-profile recently, at least not to stand out before the crown prince fell.
"Mr. Chen."
Concubine Jing looked at Zhou Chen with soft eyes and asked, "How is the Empress Dowager doing lately?"
"The Queen Mother has been very cooperative with treatment recently and her body is recovering well."
