When Zhu Gui entered the room where he had stayed for the past two days, someone was already waiting for him inside.
"My lord, why are you back?" Xu Miaoqing heard the voice, turned around, ran towards Zhu Gui and threw herself into his arms.
"Why are you here?" Zhu Gui hugged Xu Miaoqing and asked in surprise.
"Of course, of course I miss you. After the prince left, I realized that only by being by the prince's side can I not feel bored."
Xu Miaoqing said with a slightly red face.
Seeing Xu Miaoqing's shy attitude, even the straight man Zhu Gui finally felt enlightened. If it hadn't been during the day, he would have transformed into a beast.
Xu Miaoqing also seemed to feel the heat in Zhu Gui's eyes, and quickly broke away from his arms, then took out a letter and said: "This is what Liu Jing asked me to deliver to the prince."
"Liu Jing? What's wrong with him?" Zhu Gui opened the letter with some confusion.
The letter mentioned the payment status of the guards of Datong Prefecture in the past few days. Although it only lasted for less than three days, the Yunzhou Army had already made a very famous name, and not only wiped out three big bandit dens, but also
Many bandits surrendered.
However, this incident also aroused the dissatisfaction of a captain in the neighboring province. Liu Jing hoped that Zhu Gui could find an opportunity to communicate with him and avoid any other troubles.
The letter also attached some information about Captain Lin, which was obtained from the information network of Hu Shidao and the Datong Chamber of Commerce, but it was not very detailed.
So after Zhu Gui saw it, he didn't know what kind of conflict the Yunzhou Army could have with the captain. Could it be that he was taking the credit from the other party?
But right now, he can't go hundreds of miles away to find the other party just because of this trivial matter. After all, he is the vassal king, and his status lies here.
What's more, there are still matters in Taiyuan that have not been settled.
After reading the letter, Zhu Gui said to Xu Miaoqing: "You came just in time. I am about to go to Prince Jin's Mansion to meet Prince Jin's widow. If you are here, there will be no silence."
So the two of them simply had something to eat at Zuixian Tower, and then walked around the busiest streets in Taiyuan City. When it was getting late, the two of them got on a carriage and arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion.
Zhu Gui didn't know what Prince Jin's Mansion looked like before, but it looked very cold and deserted at the front door, and there wasn't even a gatekeeper at the gate.
"Prince Jin and the others won't move away, right?" Xu Miaoqing looked at the door of Prince Jin's Mansion and couldn't help but say.
"Probably not. Although Prince Jin is dead, the emperor has not pursued the other people in Prince Jin's palace. And where else can they go after leaving here?"
Zhu Gui walked up the steps as he spoke, and then pushed the door. Unexpectedly, the door was pushed open with a creak.
"Who is it?" An impatient voice came from inside the door. A short boy seemed to be lazing around inside and ran over immediately after hearing the sound.
Zhu Gui didn't talk nonsense with him, but directly took out his waist card.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. This is... the Acting Prince? Your Majesty, please come in."
The boy immediately reacted when he saw the style of the waistband, his expression immediately changed, and he immediately became very respectful.
"Are Princess Jin and the Crown Prince still in the mansion?" Zhu Gui asked calmly.
"The princess and the prince are still here, but because Taiyuan has not been peaceful these days, the princess is planning to take the prince back to her parents' home to live." The boy did not hide anything and told Zhu Gui everything he knew.
Zhu Gui didn't expect such a thing to happen, secretly thinking that he was a little negligent, but he was lucky that he came in time, otherwise it might not be that simple to find the prince of Jin.
The servant personally brought Zhu Gui and others into the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion.
Some people can already be seen here, but compared with Dai Wangfu, the number of people is still pitiful.
It can be seen that after the death of King Jin, many people here have left.
"Your Majesty, the Acting King and the Acting Princess are here." The servant shouted excitedly to a lady across the courtyard.
The woman was playing with a child who was only about seven or eight years old. After hearing what the boy said, she raised her head and looked here.
"Acting King?" Princess Jin stood up and looked at Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing with a puzzled expression.
Because there are no special circumstances, the vassal king cannot leave his fiefdom, let alone such a big thing as the king's appearance in Taiyuan City. How come she didn't receive any news?
"Princess Jin, I am the King of Jin. I have something to do in Taiyuan this time, so I came here to see you." Zhu Gui said very seriously.
Xu Miaoqing beside him also saluted Princess Jin.
Although it was the first time that the two parties met, and the identities of King Dai and King Jin were almost the same, Zhu Gui did not need to be so polite.
But he still did it, which surprised Princess Jin.
She first asked her servants to bring the prince into the house, and then came over and said, "Don't you know why the prince came to the Jin Palace?"
Princess Jin's attitude was very cold, and she exuded an aura of being forbidden to strangers.
However, Zhu Gui didn't care. Instead, he glanced at the surrounding situation and said, "Does Mrs. Wang want to move?"
Princess Jin said: "Recently, there has been some unrest in Taiyuan City. In addition, King Jin has passed away, so we orphans and widowers are helpless to stay here. I am considering going to stay with my parents' family for a while. If there is no imperial court
With the imperial edict, maybe he won’t come back.”
It seems that Princess Jin has a very clear mind. When Princess Jin was there, many forces in Taiyuan City were quite honest, but now that Prince Jin is gone, mother and son do not have the strength to suppress these local gangsters in the city.
Zhu Gui also understood what Princess Jin meant, so he said, "I am here this time hoping to solve this matter for Mrs. Wang."
"Oh? Are you here to deliver the imperial edict?" Upon hearing Zhu Gui's words, Princess Jin's eyes flashed with joy, but it quickly disappeared.
Now, only the emperor's imperial edict can allow her child to inherit the title of Prince Jin. In this way, at least on the surface, the major family forces must still respect the local vassal king, even if he is only eight years old now.
But when Princess Jin saw Zhu Gui shaking his head, she couldn't hide the look of disappointment on her face.
"How will the king solve this matter? Does the king want to take Taiyuan into his pocket? Or does he want to 'pity' us orphans and widowed mothers?"
Princess Jin's attitude could be said to be very rude. Xu Miaoqing on the side couldn't bear to hear it anymore. She was about to retort, but Zhu Gui reached out to stop her.
"Sister-in-law Wang, although Prince Jin is no longer here, the brotherhood between me and him is unbreakable, so I will still take care of Prince Jin's affairs."
