Chapter 261 House arrest
This kind of thought relieved Huiyu's tension a little, looked up at Xueying and asked again: "Are you sure you closed the three streets?"

Xueying nodded, "That's what the guy said, because he had to run back before the street was completely closed, so the servant didn't have time to ask."

He ran here in a hurry just to tell himself that the street was closed, and then rushed back before the street was closed. Such a hurry did not even have time to report to himself in person.If Kan Zhiyi really asked him to do this, then what does it mean?Kan Zhiyi is known to be ambitious and capable, and at the same time being valued by Xing Yulang and Ji Qiyu, it can be seen that he is not only talented in business, so what exactly does he want to tell himself?

Three streets were closed before and after. The street where you come or leave can be regarded as the most prosperous commercial street in Kyoto, commonly known as Qianmen Street, where every inch of land is very expensive. This kind of place is also the place where dragons and snakes are the most mixed. Both.Behind Qianmen Street is Yuting Street, and in front of it is Outer City Street, also called Daqianmen Street, because the closest place to the city gate is the most convenient place to travel.

With these three streets closed, Qianmen Street and Outer City Street are okay to talk about, after all, they are places in the business district, but why is Yuting Street also closed?After hundreds of years of the Great Jin Dynasty, the land in Kyoto became more and more tense, and Kyoto expanded more and more.But the few streets around the imperial city are the most noble, and the rich may not be able to buy them.Therefore, Yuting Street is neither close nor too far from the center of the imperial city. The residents gathered on this street are the families of middle-level officials, or families with some roots in poetry and books, so the reputation is very good. , Those who can settle in Yuting Street can be regarded as people with face in Kyoto.

However, even such a street was closed.

The night was getting darker, and the wind of February, with the coldness of the end of winter, blew across the window edge outside the window sill, and there was a slight sound.

Xueqi came in with supper, and felt that the atmosphere in the room was different from usual. The smile on her face disappeared in an instant. Tea is here.

Huiyu looked at the anxious looks of the two girls with their heads down, only to realize that it was her dignified expression that made them nervous too, so she smiled and said, "Okay, you guys can do whatever you want." After finishing speaking, she looked at the table Huiyu really didn't have any appetite for the night snack, so she waved her hand to ask Xueqi to take it down. Xueqi wanted to persuade her, but seeing the princess's expression, she swallowed her words again, so she hurried forward to remove the things.

Xueying and Xueqi looked at each other, Xueqi backed away, but Xueying didn't leave, looked at Huiyu and asked, "Princess, why don't you ask Zhong Dayun to inquire about it?"

"No need, we'll talk about it at dawn." Huiyu herself was nervous, and even the people around her were nervous. She got off the couch and took two steps in the room, trying to make her breath as gentle as possible.But when encountering such a thing, it is not because she said she was not nervous that she was really not nervous.Although she came from time travel, she really doesn't have the ability to turn her hands into clouds and rain, nor can she turn the emperor's family upside down overnight, nor can she charm one, two, three, four, five or six people The male protagonist and the male partner are all kinds of meat and eight vegetables, and they will go on and on for her to continue, regardless of life and death.The time and space she is in, she is a real woman living here, a house woman.

What she can do is not as omnipotent as the heroine in Mary Su Wen.

Therefore, she will also be nervous, afraid, look forward and backward, sway from side to side, and sometimes self-denial, self-doubt, whether everything she does is really right, appropriate, and foolproof .

Just like at this moment, even though she feels that she has connected some lines, but Ji Qiyu doesn't go home, she can't contact him, just like a trapped animal, she can only wait and waste, because she has no power and no soldiers unmanned.

Xueying heard what Wang Hao said, and asked tentatively: "Then do you want to send a letter to Madam?"

Huiyu couldn't laugh or cry when she heard Xueying's words, she looked at her and said, "No need, you go and tell the mother-in-law of the second gate to be alert, if there is any news from the outer courtyard, don't fall asleep so you won't hear anything."

Seeing the concubine's expression softened a little, and Xueying's pale face gradually turned red, she nodded hurriedly, "Yes, this servant will go and give instructions in person."

Huiyu waved her to go, thinking about what Xueying said just now, it was actually not unreasonable.Generally speaking, if a married daughter encounters a problem, she basically returns to her natal family for help.But Huiyu couldn't do it, Dong Yunji wasn't at home, and only Mrs. Dong and the useless Mr. Dong were left at home. Sending the letter back at this time would make them worry for nothing.Dingguo Mansion... the smile on Huiyu's face faded. With Dong Wan restraining her, she couldn't get through any news. The elder is obviously still following King Ning. Any clues may become an opportunity for King Ning to get clues.

At this moment, Huiyu suddenly realized that standing beside Ji Qiyu, she had reached a position where she could not act rashly.When she moved, it represented Ji Qiyu's movement, and any consequences would be immeasurable.

The imperial army closed the streets... Ji Qiyu hasn't come home yet... Then what Huiyu can be sure of is that Ji Qiyu must have told the emperor about the three cups of tea.But now she doesn't know whether Ji Qiyu was locked up by the emperor or sent out to work by the emperor.Given the disharmony between the two father and son, she now finds it difficult to even speculate.

Ji Qiyu didn't return all night.

Suddenly the whole city fell silent in the middle of the capital, and early the next morning, Huiyu got the news that a lot of people were arrested last night!
"Who are they?" Huiyu looked at Mama Zhong and asked, because Mama Zhong didn't live in the palace and had to go home every day, so the news was better.

"I don't know, I just know that the three streets that were closed last night were rioting all night, a lot of people were arrested, and I heard that a lot of people died, so I can't find out anything else." Mother Zhong said with a pale face. "I asked Universiade to find out the news. When this kid came back, his face turned pale. He said that there was a lot of blood on Yuting Street and Daqianmen Street."

Huiyu's face was slightly pale, and she clasped her hands tightly, and asked again: "Do you know who is the adult who closed the street to arrest people?"

Mother Zhong patted her head quickly, "This old slave is really confused. I forgot to mention such an important matter. Universiade inquired and said that there is guard Jiang."

Jiang Qing?

Hearing this name, Huiyu's heart suddenly settled down. Since Jiang Qing can come forward, Ji Qiyu must be fine.My heart was relieved, and there was a little smile on my face, "Our guard Jiang is still very capable, and mother, don't let Universiade to inquire about it. How is Prince Jing's mansion usually doing today?" He paused at this point, looked at Mother Zhong and said: "If someone comes with a post, just accept the post and don't let anyone in, just say that the prince is not at home."

"Yes." Mother Zhong quickly responded, "Does the princess have any other orders?"

Huiyu thought for a while, then said, "No more, let's go, mother."

Mother Zhong withdrew and went to do her own business.

Huiyu didn't sleep much all night, and now she got the news and felt a little tired, but she didn't want to sleep yet, guessing that Ji Qiyu should be able to come home today.

But Huiyu's prediction was obviously wrong, and Ji Qiyu didn't come back.

In the past few days, Huiyu heard words such as street closure, arresting people, and blood flowing into rivers countless times.He heard that Jiang Qing took people to arrest people today, and where to arrest people tomorrow, but there was no news of Ji Qiyu at all.There were several times when Jiang Qing led people past the gate of Prince Jing's mansion, but he never went back to the manor to reply, not even a word.

After such a strange phenomenon, Huiyu calmed down after getting anxious.

Prince Jing's mansion was quiet, and all the posts received by the office were brought in in baskets. Huiyu looked at the piles of posts, and told herself not to worry, but to be steady, to be steady.

"Amitabha, it's finally over. The Imperial Forest Army who closed the street has withdrawn." You Mama patted her chest and said. They all settled down, and there were no fluctuations in the palace. At this moment, Nanny You felt that the princess was young, so she could be stable, and the prince really did not misunderstand the person.

"It's time for the lord to go home." Huiyu let out a long breath and smiled.

Nanny You was taken aback, "Can the prince come back?"

Huiyu nodded, looked at Nanny You and said, "Yes, it's time for the prince to come back."

Seeing the concubine's determined look, Nanny You also felt that the prince had changed back, so she couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

"Mommy, sort out the posts, the prince wants to read them later." You mommy is the most experienced in sorting out posts, so it's best to leave it to her.

"Don't you read it?" Mother You asked, these posts were piled up in the side room like a hill, but the princess didn't even take a look at it, I don't know why.

"It doesn't matter whether I read it or not." Hui Yu smiled lightly, these posts are not important, the important thing is that this time Ji Qiyu might offend someone and offend Dafa.

Nanny You didn't quite understand, and felt that Wang Hao's words were a bit strange, but she hurried to sort out the post.If the princess is really right, the prince will definitely ask when he comes back.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Ji Qiyu came back.

Huiyu was playing in the yard with sister Zhao in her arms, when she looked up she saw Ji Qiyu standing at the gate of the yard, staring at their mother and daughter.The swarthy eyes also made people feel heavy under the sun, and his face was a little hot.

"You're back." Huiyu hugged her daughter and smiled at him against the sun.

"Well, I'm back." Ji Qiyu walked in with stiff steps. Under the sun, his wife was holding her daughter and waiting for him to go home. The gentle smile on her face seemed to sweep away the fatigue of these days. And empty.

Ji Qiyu seldom had stubble on his face, he was a very clean person, but now Huiyu looked at the green stubble on his face, and his eyes were a little sore.He hurriedly turned his head and ordered the maids to prepare water and clothes. The people in the whole yard became busy all of a sudden. With Ji Qiyu's return, the smile on his face couldn't be concealed, and his footsteps were a bit revealing. brisk.

With her arms empty, Ji Qiyu had already carried her daughter in her arms.Sister Zhao didn't see her father for a few days, and she was happily clinging to Ji Qiyu's arms, not knowing what she was talking about.Holding his daughter in one hand and his wife in the other, he slowly entered the main room.

After entering the main room, Ji Qiyu went to take a shower and change clothes first, while Huiyu sat on the couch with her daughter in her arms and waited.Sister Zhao kept stretching her arms and wanted to go to the clean room to find his father, but Huiyu held her back and patiently teased her to divert her attention.But the child didn't know what was going on, he just kept staring at the door of the clean room, pouted with an aggrieved look, Huiyu laughed all of a sudden.Sister Zhao has never been separated from her father for such a long time, and she really misses her after seeing her for so long.

Ji Qiyu came out with her hair covered, and Sister Zhao broke away from her mother's embrace, and crawled on the couch towards the direction Ji Qiyu came from.Ji Qiyu was afraid that her daughter would fall off, so she took a few steps and hugged her into her arms. Sister Zhao grabbed Ji Qiyu's untied black hair.Just washed and her hair was not dry yet, Sister Zhao scratched the water stains in her hands, and stretched out her hands to look at her palms, it was really funny like that.

Huiyu took the dry towels brought by the girls, waved them all down, and stood behind Ji Qiyu to wipe his hair.The warm sunlight streamed in through the window, Huiyu changed a few handkerchiefs, and finally dried the water stains on her hair.He went into the back room and took his own comb to comb his hair, and said: "Just let it dry like this, and then tie it up when it's all dry, anyway, no one comes in, it's okay."

Ungroomed, not seeing people.Ji Qiyu would never see anyone with disheveled hair, even the servants in the family would not let them see him with his hair disheveled.

Ji Qiyu didn't have a good rest for the past few days, and at this moment she was a little lazy and didn't want to move, so she nodded in agreement, pulled Huiyu to sit beside her, and put her daughter on the couch to play, then asked: "These few days... are you okay?"

It's okay if you don't ask, it's nothing at all, but hearing him ask, it seems that all kinds of grievances come to my heart, and my eyes are sore and astringent.Huiyu quickly squeezed out a smile, "Okay, everything is fine at home, how about you?"

Ji Qiyu could see Huiyu's haggard and exhausted appearance, and knew that she must not have had a good rest these days.Holding her hand, he said: "I'm in the palace, I can't leave the palace, and I can't send news back. I miss you very much, but I can only worry about you in the palace."

"You...are under house arrest by the emperor?" Hui Yu felt something was wrong when she heard Ji Qiyu's words.

Ji Qiyu was speechless for a while, and it seemed like a long time before Huiyu heard him say: "There is no house arrest, but you can't come out of the palace."

"In this case, why is Jiang Qing the one who closed the streets and arrested people?" Huiyu felt that something was wrong.

"The emperor's will." Ji Qiyu said lightly.

Huiyu's complexion changed slightly, "The emperor used Jiang Qing to arrest people... Everyone knows that Jiang Qing is your personal bodyguard, and they will think that you are the one who is arresting people. But you are not an adult from the Ministry of Punishment, and you don't have soldiers from the five cities." The military power of the division, let alone the mobilization power of the imperial guards, but Jiang Qing did indeed arrest people..."

What is the emperor going to do?
Seeing Huiyu's face turn pale, Ji Qiyu held her hand firmly, "The emperor gave the token and took it back."

Huiyu couldn't figure it out, and couldn't figure it out.

Sister Zhao picked up Ji Qiyu's big hand and bit it, covered her mouth and started laughing, as if she had done something terrible.Huiyu was also laughed at by her daughter's childish behavior. She stretched out her hand to poke her daughter, and her breath slowed down in her heart, and she said softly: "The emperor's trick is really good. Now it's over, and everyone's resentment is gone. It hit you."

He put Ji Qiyu in the palace and couldn't come out, but he used Jiang Qing to arrest people and block the streets, and ran amok in the capital for a few days.Ji Qiyu gave people the impression of being cold and ruthless, but now she is more down-to-earth.

Hey, Huiyu really doesn't know what to say.

However, looking at it from a better perspective, the emperor is willing to use Ji Qiyu, doesn't he...does he have some trust in Ji Qiyu?This time about the poisoned tea, Ji Qiyu was not among the suspects, there must have been gains and losses.

Hearing Huiyu's slightly resentful tone, Ji Qiyu's expression was also a bit complicated, she looked up at the exquisite pattern on Chengchen, "At least...he, believe me that I didn't murder him."

Hui Yu looked at Ji Qiyu's eyes, which used to be as cold and hard as deep pool water, now there were layers of ripples.I don't know if it's her own illusion, but Huiyu even felt a slight relief from Ji Qiyu's complicated thoughts.

"This is also a good thing." Hui Yu replied softly, especially Ji Qiyu was also looking forward to having her own place in the emperor's heart.How can there be a son in this world who doesn't want his father to love him?

Ji Qiyu lowered her head and didn't answer, she just picked up her daughter and held her in her arms.Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu's drooping face hiding the emotions leaking from her eyes, and sighed deeply in her heart, "Then did you find anything in the end?" Since Ji Qiyu came back safely, it must be three lamps. The matter of tea is on the horizon.
