Jiang Yunxu touched his lower abdomen. He hadn't had time to mention the good news to Chu Xuanzhi yet. Let's talk about it later.
"Pass the meal around."
"yes."
Half an hour later, all eight dishes and one soup were served. Hongqiao filled a bowl of old duck soup and placed it in front of her: "This is game that has been stewed for three hours. Please try it."
For the sake of her children, Jiang Yunxu will not treat herself harshly, nor will she fall into a sad atmosphere that makes it difficult to extricate herself.
She gulped down the soup and ate a few chopsticks of duck meat. She put down her chopsticks when her stomach was eighty percent full. She slowly got up and walked with Hongqiao in the small garden. She stepped on the cobblestones, one deep and one shallow.
Also comfortable.
It was almost midnight before Chu Xuanzhi rushed back, lifted up the quilt and got in. With one big hand, he took Jiang Yunxu into his arms. He placed his chin on her hair and soon began to breathe shallowly.
Voice.
Jiang Yunxu opened her eyes drowsily and noticed the familiar smell behind her. She closed her eyes again. When she opened her eyes again, there was no one around her.
"Where is the Emperor?" She sat up and touched the place next to her. It was already cold and he had been gone for a long time.
"Reply to my master, the Emperor will go to court before dawn." Hongqiao helped Jiang Yunxu wash up and served breakfast.
Jiang Yunxu ate a few hurriedly before putting down his chopsticks: "I don't know how my aunt is doing. I'll prepare the carriage later and I'll go to Zhao's house."
Hongqiao was about to speak but stopped after hearing this.
She quickly noticed Hong Qiao's strangeness, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is being said about me outside?"
Knowing that she couldn't hide it, Hong Qiao immediately said: "Right now, there are rumors outside that it was the Queen's idea to blow up the capital. The people outside are condemning the master, and the civil and military officials are also reporting that the master is ruthless and unworthy of his virtue.
Please ask the emperor to depose the queen."
Jiang Yunxu raised his eyebrows. These people are really ignorant. It is undeniable that the method of blowing up the capital was a bit cruel.
But that was also a helpless move.
"Master, the Emperor will definitely protect you, don't take it personally." Hong Qiao quickly comforted her.
Jiang Yunxu smiled: "I won't take it seriously. I'm just following what others say. As time goes by, the matter will disappear."
She dressed up simply, transformed into a little palace maid, and followed Hongqiao to the Zhao family. The Zhao family knew Hongqiao, so the two of them entered the Zhao family smoothly.
Mrs. Song saw her coming and hurried forward to greet her: "Why are you here at this critical moment?"
"Auntie, I'm not afraid of rumors." Jiang Yunxu smiled slightly and pulled Mrs. Song into the room: "I came here because I want to ask auntie something."
Jiang Yunxu saved Song from life and death several times, so he trusted her very much.
"you say."
"I want to hear about Princess Jinghua."
Song was surprised and then said: "Her biological mother was a noble person and the eldest daughter of the ancestor emperor. Because her biological mother had a low status, she was given to Concubine Wan to raise. When it comes to Beijing, it can be said that she is both civilized and military, brave and resourceful.
It's a pity that she is born as a girl, otherwise she would definitely have a share in the fight for the throne."
Mentioning Jinghua, Mrs. Song's eyes showed a little more admiration: "When I went to the palace to visit Concubine Wan, I often saw her, and she would often come to the Song family as a guest. She was a well-behaved child, but her life was a bit hard.
.”
Hearing Mrs. Song's praise of the eldest princess of Jinghua, Jiang Yunxu suddenly felt uneasy and hesitated whether he should speak or not.
"Since you are here and you asked her specifically about her, there must be a reason. As long as you ask, I will never refuse if I can help." Mrs. Song took Jiang Yunxu's hand: "No matter what happens,
Auntie will always be on your side."
After hearing what Song said, Jiang Yunxu said: "I interrogated the Queen Mother yesterday, and my mother's death was related to Jinghua."
Then Jiang Yunxu told how Feng died. When Song heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "Why are you so cruel?"
"Do you want the Zhao family to help and let Jinghua return to Linyi?" asked Song.
Jiang Yunxu nodded.
Mrs. Song patted her hand: "This is not difficult, so you don't have to worry. I won't tell anyone about this. It's just that Jinghua is very strong and has a good relationship with the emperor. You have to be careful.
Some people are cold-hearted, so it doesn't matter. Don't hurt the relationship between you and the emperor. If it's really inconvenient for you to do it, I'm not afraid of being stained with blood. The emperor will never blame me."
Hearing Mrs. Song's words, Jiang Yunxu was very moved and shook her head: "Don't worry, aunt, I have my own sense of discretion. If necessary, I will not be stingy in speaking."
