Two months ago, Cao Xiwan actually followed Shen Qian, but Shen Qian was unaware of it.
After all, there is absolutely no Habayashi Qianhu in front of the East Palace who passes by the door every day without any trouble, and the Jin Yiwei fans can't be alert.
Cao Xiwan didn't deal with Shen Qian until late. Every wrongdoer has his own debtor.
In the winter two months ago, she carried a fishing hook and a fishing tube on her back, wrapped in her big black bear skin coat, and quietly slipped to the water village garden of Prince Zhao's Mansion on the outskirts of the capital.
She came to smash the ice and fish.
There is an old man sitting cross-legged on a stone covered with dry reeds and snow by the lake. The man who also likes to go to other people's houses to steal fish in winter is the boss of the Yu family, Yu Sitao and Shen Qianhu's master.
In the vast snow, when he saw the black bear monster coming again, he felt unlucky.
It had been five or six winters in a row that he hadn't caught a single fish due to her messing around.
"Don't make trouble, there is an owner in Xiaoyuan Water Village this year. If you make trouble with me, we won't be able to fish."
She is not only a black bear monster, but also a black bear dragging two tubes of green snot.
"Aren't you sick? Why don't you stay at home? I heard that you can't stand the cold."
"Dreaming." She put her hands on her hips.
Yu Sitao found out that she was touching pills to eat and sniffing at the same time to harass him while fishing. He was also dumbfounded.
She said gloomily: "Humph, the owner of this water village is named Liu, and I have the handle. Haven't you heard?" After saying that, she picked up a big snowball that had just been rolled, jumped to the tree by the lake, and used all her strength to He hit the lake and tried his best to prevent him from catching any fish.
"...Can you stop being so petty? How many years have you been taking revenge on me?"
"My water skills are not as good as yours, and you have caught fish in the past few years. Only in the past five or six years have I found the easiest way." She smiled sinisterly, "Every prince's palace nearby, including the Shuizhuangzi in Xungui Mansion, has a steward. , I have spent many years dealing with house slaves and stewards like them, and I will arrest you as soon as you enter. The former command deputy of the Yulin Guards stole fish in the imperial manor, and it depends on your old face whether you want it or not!"
Yu Sitao was frightened and gave in. He could only take out a spy wax ball from his arms and threw it into her arms.
She quickly opened it and saw that it was the news she wanted.
This old man Yu's disciple is from the Yangtze River Gang, and he can get a lot of news about Beisai Yanjing City along the waterway. It is expected that the news will reach the capital soon. I guess this old boy is interested and gave the news to her.
Although the news in this meatball was not good, she comforted herself because she knew that in the capital, apart from the Jinyi Yamen, the former bloody battles with hundreds of swords, and the current secret spies of various princes, the Yulin Guards of the East Palace had the best information network.
"Qing Luo, don't you have a group of secret informants of your own, and why are you still looking for me?"
"I have no money. I only have a few informants. It costs money to go out of the capital."
"How about looking for your Lord Marquis?"
"The Marquis married wives and took concubines, and took possession of many poor and helpless girls. He became more and more stingy."
"……real?"
Just this winter, rumors spread unknowingly that Marquis Nankang had many favorites in the palace.
The second manager, Lian Er, was originally thinking of a way to help Mr. Hou get the girl from the second bedroom as a concubine. If that didn't work, he would build a small house outside the house.
After all, Cao Xiwan heard him hint that the Marquis was interested in a beautiful girl in the second room, and she had no intention of bullying her.
She just glanced at Liancheng and said, "Flattery."
"You too." Liancheng didn't mind, "You used to be the best at flattering the Marquis. I'm not as good as you at all."
"I'm not now."
"That's because you can't flatter me anymore. You don't want to be a concubine." Manager Lian was busy with his work and occasionally quarreled with her, "Now you are not even as good as Su Jintian."
"snort."
A few days later, Liancheng suddenly heard rumors about a beautiful girl in the Hou Mansion, and he became cautious and did not dare to act recklessly.
Winter snow filled the window, and the charcoal fire was blue. Nanzhi disguised herself as a girl from the second room, doing needlework in the lotus courtyard, waiting day after day, but never waited until the second manager of the company threatened her and forced her to serve the Marquis. .
He was in pain too.
He just wanted to assassinate Song Chengming, why couldn't he complete this task?
He didn't even have the chance to be tortured by the assassins after his failed assassination attempt.
Nowadays, the apricot blossoms are blooming in spring, the Yujin Garden is draped in red and colorful, the prince of Qin is getting married, and the emperor from the East Palace is also here.
Shen Qianhu knew that before the East Palace left the palace, he had met His Majesty and seemed to have been reprimanded by His Majesty.
The East Palace was watching the scenery from the Qiushui Tower, with his eyes looking in the direction of Beisai. Shen Qianhu thought, did Prince Zhao and the Crown Prince really go to the capital to defend themselves?
Because his sect is quite powerful on the Yangtze River waterway, there is secret news:
Troops are being mobilized around Yanjing City.
But Beisai and Jinling City were too far apart, and his division had no foundation in the north. Therefore, he hesitated about the news.
Jinyi Yamen's messengers should be more reliable.
Song Chengming, Marquis of Nankang, is His Majesty's confidant and a relative of the East Palace. It is impossible for him to be bribed by the Zhao Palace.
The only suspicious one is the Qingluo female ghost.
Qingluo Nvgui has a connection with Dong Gong. She is also friendly with the second roommate of the Hou Mansion and is helping with the dowry. Logically speaking, Dong Gong won't be surprised if she mentions Bai Niao Yu Yi.
But there was no movement from her. As for Prince Qin's Mansion, it seemed that they didn't mention this issue at all.
The Crown Princess is ready to give birth with peace of mind and no longer asks the East Palace to lend her Yuyi.
"Perhaps Qingluo has threatened some of the confidants of the Prince of Qin. I heard that the chief eunuchs in the Prince's Mansion have been trying to please her recently."
On the eve of the New Year, Yu Sitao accepted the New Year gift to comfort his proud disciple.
Shen Qian thought about it and realized what the master said made sense.
That day, he spied on her fighting behind the clan's mansion, and saw with his own eyes that Eunuch Wen Ruo was entrusted by her to take care of Su Jintian and his siblings. If this wasn't a very good friendship, what else could it be?
The chief eunuch of the Prince's Mansion had a reputation for being evil, and it looked like he was being held hostage by her. Maybe he was afraid of being beaten by her. Shen Qian put himself in the position of others and felt that the Prince's Mansion was being bullied by the Qingluo female ghost.
What's more, when Aunt Bai heard his report to the East Palace, she didn't refute it at all. Shen Ting guessed that there was a fire in Prince Qin's palace a while ago. Could it be that Aunt Bai and the Qingluo ghost did it together?
Aunt Bai usually sticks to the rules, but she actually doesn't show her face. After all, she is still an evil female devil.
Yuhu tower, with the word "happy" in red lantern.
The reeds of Yuhu Lake stretch for two to three miles and are dotted with more than a dozen small tent boats with green curtains. It is a scene in the imperial garden.
These boats were originally repaired and painted by the Palace Construction Department in the past two years.
On the prince's wedding day, it had been washed three times and was exquisite and clean. She didn't feel uncomfortable squatting in it.
Qin Meng sighed.
He took off his cloak, spread it on the deck, and helped her sit up again. He also saw a dark green cloak with a big hole under her body. He quickly picked it up, dusted it off, and put it on her.
The high humidity in the cabin is not good for injuries.
But these words she said, except here, you have to shut up and be careful.
"Thank you." She said softly.
Qin Meng sat next to her and smiled at her, but reminded her: "According to the information our Yamen presented to the Marquis, King Zhao and his entourage have already crossed the Yangtze River. And there is a hidden stake for us in the entourage of Prince Zhao.
"
Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have issued an order today to let the Prince of Qin leave.
This allowed him to return to Xi'an with his wife and family, the Song family, after the wedding.
Because there are at least 300 guards in royal robes accompanying Prince Zhao's palace. More than 20 masters trained by the Marquis in the village in the suburbs have already sneaked in to respond. Now it is impossible for Prince Zhao to escape even if he turns around.
"Master Hou? Master Hou shouldn't be so anxious." She said helplessly, "Our people in the north, when we were too far away, saw that Master Hou married an old member of Liang Guogong, everyone was half-hearted and busy trying to figure out whether Master Hou married someone else.
Does it mean something else?"
He looked at her for a while, then guessed her and Su Jintian's plan, and nodded: "Are you planning to go to Yanjing City in person?"
"Well." She sighed, "I have to go see Mother Zhao. She has been with me for so many years."
Qin Meng knew about her injury and didn't agree with it, so he couldn't hold it back: "I was looking for you just now, and I saw Liu Shoushi on a nearby boat. He mentioned something to me. He said that you have a mother Zhao in Yanjing City. You asked him to
Inquire about the news. He said that Zhao’s mother should have returned to the capital with Prince Zhao’s Mansion.”
She listened and frowned, without any hint of joy.
Ever since she asked about this last time, Liu Ruhai had not responded, and Liu Xiaozi had disappeared and avoided him. She expected that he would not agree.
Now at this juncture, Liu Xiaozi talked about Zhao's mother again. Of course she wouldn't think that this guy was trying to comfort her when she was hurt. Liu Xiaozi must have a conspiracy.
However, when she looked at Qin Meng, she knew that when he mentioned Liu Ruhai, he was asking her if she wanted to have Liu Ruhai checked for pulse and the extent of his injuries while Liu Ruhai was nearby.
"I don't believe this person. This person is a pretty boy in blue shirt."
"..." Qin Meng was speechless.
She thought for a while, pulled the cloak tightly around herself, and said with pale lips: "It would be normal, but last winter, when rumors of Prince Zhao's rebellion were everywhere in the capital, he suddenly showed kindness to me.
.Give me something. Do you think this is weird?"
She raised a finger and solemnly emphasized, "He must be very accustomed to using this despicable and shameless method to deceive kind women. He is more skilled than fighting a hundred swords."
"..."
Maybe it's just because Liu Shoushi is indeed charming and handsome. Qin Meng subconsciously said in his heart. But look at her disgusted look.
