Shengshichun

Chapter 245 Are you going to abduct me?

The old military doctor from Luoyang will arrive in Beijing tomorrow. Fu Zhen asked Guo Song to fetch Chu Yu's latest prescription overnight.

After Chu Yu woke up, it was not so easy to get into the Chu family now. Fortunately, Fu Zhen took care of the two maids before. She used a lot of force that night, and now the maid is still honest. She took a prescription and asked about it. It's not difficult to deal with illness or whatever.

I just got the prescription for the medicine here and was about to go to Pei Zhan to discuss how to bring the old military doctor to the door. Yang Tong and Zhang Chengcheng walked in from the front yard.

As soon as he saw Fu Zhen, he quickened his pace: "Young madam! Does the news from the Xu family matter to us?"

Fu Zhen said: "Of course it matters. What did you hear?"

Yang Tong said: "Just now we saw Princess Rong hurried to Xu's house with only a maid."

"Going to Xu's house at this time?" Fu Zhen glanced at the dark sky, "It's already midnight, why is she sneaking there?"

"More than just sneaky? She even wears simpler clothes than usual."

Fu Zhen became even more confused when he heard this.

Xu Yin's performance in the Yongping matter must have dissatisfied Prince Rong's palace, and Princess Rong loved Yongping's daughter very much. If the emperor and queen hadn't suppressed her attitude, she would have sought bad luck for Xu Yin. Why was she going to Xu's house like this at night?

"Why are you standing in the yard talking?"

At this time, Pei Zhan in the study opened the ajar window and leaned on the window with his elbows to look at them.

Fu Zhen ran over holding up her skirt: "Are you free?"

Pei Zhan looked at her through the window: "What are you going to do?"

"It's such a beautiful time, why don't we go for a walk?"

Pei Zhan glanced at the dark sky, and then his eyes fell back on her face: "I'm really in a good mood."

Fu Zhen patted the window sill: "Are you going or not?"

Pei Zhan climbed out of the window and said, "Lead the way."

……

If it were another family, Fu Zhen could just go there with his own guards. Even the Palace of the Third Grade Minister of Chao Zhongzheng might not be able to stop them.

But Fu Zhen had seen the skills of the guards around Xu Yin, so he had to involve Pei Zhan.

When he arrived outside Xu's house, Pei Zhan ordered a few guards to check inside. As expected, even a cat meowing in the seemingly calm and ordinary Mansion of the Minister immediately responded.

However, these are trivial to Pei Zhan and the others. There was a group of people among them who diverted the other party's attention. Taking advantage of this moment, Pei Zhan and Fu Zhen sneaked in quietly.

That day when he followed Zhang Feng and the others into Xu's house, Fu Zhen had noticed the internal layout of Xu's house. It was just a house with three entrances and a cross-yard, and he could figure out the general direction.

There was a lamp like a bean in the west courtyard in front, which looked like it should be a study or other places. The main courtyard was brightly lit, but there were not many people talking.

However, the front yard is also the most heavily guarded area.

There are also lights on in the northwest corner of the backyard, and there are eunuchs walking around. Fu Zhen said: "That must be the place where Yongping is imprisoned. Let's go and take a look!"

As soon as the couple approached the courtyard wall, a sharp voice came from the courtyard:

"What are you talking about?!"

Fu Zhen straightened her waist: "It's Princess Rong!"

Pei Zhan looked around, exchanged glances with the guards in the distance, and then pointed to the corner of the room: "Go there!"

Fu Zhen wanted to go to the rooftop. Pei Zhan had already taken her to the corner of the room: "We are not the only ones coming to visit tonight, there are already people over there!"

Fu Zhen: "..."

Under the roof, Princess Rong was looking at Yongping in front of her in shock.

"How could your father and the others have any big secrets? They have secrets, how could they not tell me?!"

"But that's what Xu Yin said!" Yong Ping said with a tight face, "He said that there is a big secret between the father and the king, and it is because of this secret that they have been helping Zhang Shicheng and the Zhang family!

"Concubine, why do you think your father will not lie to you? I used to think that Xu Yin would not lie to me, but he still lied to me after all! He made me deeply misunderstand that he was a deeply affectionate person, but in the end he No! He is completely using me! Then why can't father lie to you? "

Yongping's eyes used to be full of pride, but now they are filled with sadness, unwillingness, grievance and resentment.

Princess Rong frowned, and she rolled her sleeves and turned sideways: "I have been married to your father for decades, and I still know a bit about him. Your father has no intentions towards me.

"Unlike you and Xu Yin, Xu Yin came here for your identity and Prince Rong's Mansion behind you from the beginning.

"If it weren't for the fact that he is indeed somewhat talented, our Prince Rong's Mansion also needed someone who could make a name for himself in the court, and we wouldn't have compromised back then.

"Your father has always been loyal to the emperor, and he is also very satisfied and grateful for this throne. What other secrets can he hide?

"What big secret can he come up with?"

"The mother-in-law knows him, but he already has two concubines! And there are also his concubines!" Yongping tore the layer of cloth sharply, "The mother-in-law has devoted all her efforts to cultivate Chu Yu, isn't it? Is it to prevent Prince Rong’s family fortune from being emptied by the two concubines?

"It shows that you don't trust your father that much. In that case, why don't you believe Xu Yin's words? I know he is not a good person, but there is no reason for him to suddenly make up these lies to deceive me at this time!"

Princess Rong glanced at her and frowned a little more.

"What you said makes some sense."

"Of course it makes sense!" Yongping walked up to her, "My mother and concubine have been in trouble these days. Ever since Chu Yu was seriously injured and I was imprisoned again, my mother is very weak. But Zhang's arrogance is getting stronger and stronger. The higher it goes!

"I ended up in this situation all because he and Fu Zhenhang were in cahoots. The two of them joined forces, which means the Zhang family has the backing of the Pei family. The road ahead for my mother will be too difficult!

"You need help, and so do I! Why don't you try to win over Xu Yin now?"

"Him?" Princess Rong's eyes turned cold, "Don't mention him to me, I have always looked down on him! A scholar from a poor family should be grateful to be able to marry you as the princess, but he is still disconnected from the Liang family. , you have never taken our Prince Rong’s Palace seriously! You actually asked me to fight for him?”

"But he is the easiest person for us to win over right now, and he is also the most capable person to help our mother and concubine!"

"Do you think it's possible?" Princess Rong muttered, "If he could really surrender to me, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?"

"But now he wants something from us!"

"What do you mean?" Princess Rong narrowed her eyes in confusion. Yongping grabbed her arm: "He said that my father has a jade fan in his hand, and he wants to get it now. This is our chance!"

"Jasper fan?" Princess Rong frowned tightly, "What kind of jasper fan? What did he use it for?"

"He said it was a fan with a pattern of Fengqi Wutong carved on the ribs. One of the ribs had signs of breakage! I don't know what he used it for, but that night, he used Lian'er to threaten me!

"After all these years of marriage, he has never threatened me at all. In the past few years, he only tried to persuade me. In the past six months, he has directly quarreled with me. Why did he ever need to threaten me?

"But this time he is using his children to blackmail me, which means this thing must be very important to him!

"The more important it is, the more we can use it as a bargaining chip?"

Princess Rong pursed her lips and said nothing, and began to think deeply.

Yongping couldn't wait for a while, so he shook Princess Rong's arm and said, "Concubine! If we want to reverse the situation, we definitely need people like Xu Yin!"

"He has not completely surrendered to his father yet. If you can convince him to help you with this fan, then what do you have to worry about?

"This will also be of great benefit to me!"

Princess Rong took a deep breath and sat down on the chair: "What you said makes sense, but the question is, do you think Xu Yin will be restrained by us?

"I think he is very cunning. According to most examples in the world, he should have been an obedient and obedient uncle in Prince Rong's Mansion, but he had no intention of lowering his head from the beginning.

"How long have you been married? He immediately attracted the emperor's attention and won the emperor's favor, making it impossible for our palace to completely control him.

"And it can be said that he earned his current official status by himself, so he can stand upright and walk around the palace.

"Even if the fan you mentioned is important to him, I'm afraid we won't be able to control him."

"Then why don't you try it?" Yongping said eagerly, "No matter what, let's find this fan first!

"As long as I find this fan, it will at least prove that my father and the others really have a secret! What kind of secret is it that you want to hide even from your mother and concubine?

"You also talked about the secret that can bring disaster to the palace. Mother, you are also a member of the palace! This is also related to your safety, and it is also related to me! If the palace is destroyed, I will definitely not be able to escape! "

Princess Rong was so disturbed by her that her breath began to become confused.

"But I've never seen this fan before. Where do you want me to find it?"

"My father and I have been married to you for so many years. There must be traces of this. If you think about it carefully, you will definitely be able to figure it out!

"Also, my brother must also know about this! He is your biological son, you have a way to deal with him, right?

"The Zhang family next to him is a ferocious poisonous snake. You must not let your brother let Zhang family lead you! So you must know this matter, and you cannot be kept in the dark by them!"

Speaking of Zhang, Princess Rong's expression gradually became cold.

"What you said makes sense! I can't stop my husband from taking a concubine and marrying a concubine, so my biological son can't let other women derail him!"

"So! Mother must find this fan and dig out this secret. Then we will find a way to negotiate terms with Xu Yin and let him be your helper!"

Princess Rong took a deep breath and clenched her hands tightly on the coffee table.

Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan in the corner of the room were like two ridged beasts, sitting steadily on the corrugated roof under the night sky, looking intently down through a small gap.

The mother and daughter are cuddling together in the room. At first glance, this seems very harmonious and warm. Who would have thought that what they are discussing is how to compete with their parents and family?

Fu Zhen turned around, winked at Pei Zhan, and the two of them exited Xu's house along the same route.

The two people in the carriage pulled off their headscarves at the same time: "The person named Xu is trying to play tricks again!"

After the words fell, the two of them were silent for a moment, and then Pei Zhan said: "Have you ever heard of that jasper fan?"

The previous conversation in the room was not very loud, but by connecting the words one by one, one could get a general idea. I thought that Xu Yin would have to stop for a while after he stumbled, but he didn't expect that he would find another one from Yongping. Having reached a breakthrough, he suddenly wanted to find some fan from King Rong again!

"I've never heard of it." Fu Zhen frowned, "I've never heard of any fan engraved with Fengqi Wutong."

"We already know that the murderers are Prince Rong and his son. Could it be that this fan is related to the identities of the two deceased people?"

"I came to think of it together." Fu Zhen glanced at him, "We have almost investigated that case, and the only doubt is the identity of the deceased.

"Since that fan is so important to Xu Yin, it is likely to point to the deceased.

"It seems that Xu Yin wanted to use this thing to take advantage of Prince Rong's palace. Yongping was taken advantage of by him, and Princess Rong was also dragged into the water this time!"

Pei Zhan stared at the street scene passing by outside the car window, and then waved to the guard in the shadow: "Go and visit Prince Rong's Mansion tomorrow and see what they have done recently?"

The guard took the order and disappeared into the darkness.

At this time, the moonlight had come out, faintly illuminating the houses on both sides of the road, and the shadows cast by them had chaotic boundaries.

Pei Zhan let out a long breath: "I was deceived by you again."

Fu Zhen, who was arranging his clothes, looked up. Pei Zhan looked at her: "You said you were just walking around, but you turned her around and climbed the wall."

Fu Zhen was stunned. After thinking for a moment, she laughed: "It's not too late, you can go for a walk now."

Pei Zhan looked distrustful: "You lied to me again?"

Fu Zhen shouted "Stop", grinned and said to him, "Follow me", then dragged him out of the carriage and ran briskly under the moonlight!

"Where are you going to kidnap me?"

Pei Zhan let her drag him, but his footsteps did not relax at all.

Looking at her who was half a head shorter than him in front of him, the corners of Pei Zhan's mouth turned up like a crescent moon.

"The tofu shop must not be closed yet! I'll treat you to sesame oil tofu!"

"That's it?"

"Then I'll walk you back!"

Fu Zhen is willing to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

Who asked her to find this helper who was capable, strong, hardworking, and showed no displeasure at all?

Isn’t this worthy of her comfort and comfort?

"Then I want to eat two bowls!"

Pei Zhan's voice became as brisk as his steps!

At this moment, the evening breeze blows on my face and the moonlight is hazy. It is really a beautiful night!
