royal girl

Chapter 262
The bloody capital of Kyoto has almost turned upside down in just today.

Under such circumstances, everyone is in danger, only a few people know that the three cups of tea are inappropriate, and the others don't know what happened.It is precisely because of this ignorant danger that people are even more frightened, which is why Prince Jing's Mansion has received so many posts.

At this time, Dong Wan in Prince Ning's mansion also stared at the letter in her hand and frowned silently.

Master Dong wrote to ask her what happened, but how did she know what happened?In the past few days, Prince Ning's mansion was closed, and the prince only stayed here for a few hours before being hooked away by Yue Shuiqing. Thinking about it, his heart would explode with anger.Folding the letter in her hand carefully and putting it in the hidden compartment, Dong Wan wrote a reply letter. She had already heard about what happened in the capital these few days, but she never expected that Prince Jing would be so majestic, arresting people, Murder, blood flow into rivers, and merciless style are really frightening.

"Purple mandarin duck."

The door curtain was lifted, and Ziyuan walked in. She had already changed into a woman's attire, and she was released to marry a few years ago. A month after the marriage, she came back to serve her again. rest assured.

"Side concubine, what are your orders?" Ziyuan said softly.

"Send this letter back, remember to be quiet." Dong Wan handed the new letter to Ziyuan.

Ziyuan took it and put it in her armhole, stepped forward to help Dong Wan sit down, and then said in a low voice: "Last night, I spent more than two hours in the yard over there."

Dong Wan knew where the courtyard Ziyuan was talking about was, so she rubbed her brows and said, "Go ahead and do whatever you want. Anyway, as long as Peng's side concubine lives well, then Yue Shuiqing won't be able to take the side concubine's position." Speaking of There was a pause here again, "You remember to go and see Peng side concubine, if there is any shortage of medicinal materials, send them there."

Ziyuan nodded, she would rather let the unfavored side concubine Peng stand in the position of side concubine than let Aunt Yue get her way.

"Wangfei's side is also very concerned about Peng's side concubine recently. I think there will be no shortage of medicinal materials." There was a bit of sarcasm in the words.

Dong Wan just smiled, "It's okay if you don't care. Concubine Peng has something good or bad, that is, no one can suppress Yue Shuiqing's concubine. It's just that she is so rampant as a concubine. I don't know what will happen?" As he spoke, his voice slowly faded, "What does the lord like about her? Just because of her..." Just because she looks a bit like Dong Huiyu?Thinking of this makes her a little irritable, knowing that Ji Fuyan is not such a superficial person, but the fact seems to slap her in the face.

Ziyuan said in a low voice: "Flowers are not blooming in a hundred days, the princess will definitely not just watch and ignore it."

"She is always Prince Jing's cousin, and the prince will always feel sorry for her when she enters the mansion to be an aunt..." The more Dong Wan said, the angrier she became, she waved Zi Yuan to retreat, and she was alone in the room in a daze.

Lord Xin Guo read his daughter's letter, and his expression was also very bad, so he handed the letter to his son sitting next to him and said, "I can't get any news, anyway, King Ning is the emperor's favorite son, why not?" Maybe you don’t know anything about it.” Obviously, it’s just that the daughter has no way to get news from King Ning.

Dong Yuncheng looked down at the letter, and after reading it, he said: "Prince Ning has never entered the palace these few days, and he probably doesn't know what's going on in the palace." Not to mention Prince Ning, none of the other princes were called into the palace, only King Jing entered the palace, and blood flowed everywhere in Kyoto.

"What's going on?" The old man frowned tightly, with the word "Sichuan" twisted between his brows, he couldn't find out any news from the palace, and even the people in the palace didn't know what was going on.It can be seen that apart from the emperor, only Prince Jing knew about this matter.Thinking of this, he looked at his son and said, "The emperor doesn't like Prince Jing the most, but why did he keep Prince Jing in the palace this time? Could it be that Prince Jing is about to make a comeback?"

Dong Yuncheng folded the letter and said word by word: "I can't say for sure about the royal affairs at any moment."

"That's right, the emperor doesn't want King Ning to intervene in such a murderous matter, and he doesn't want to let King Ning bear the reputation of bloodthirsty. It doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't like King Ning, but it means more protection. "The elder said slowly.

Dong Yuncheng said, "No matter what, King Jing has come into contact with the control of the Imperial Forest Army."

The old man's face darkened even more. The control of the Imperial Forest Army has always been in the hands of the emperor. This time the emperor didn't use his confidant Tan Yang, but let Jiang Qing under Prince Jing lead the Imperial Forest Army to arrest people. Why not use Tan Yang?
Seeing that the Elder Master was silent, Dong Yuncheng said again, seemingly unintentionally, "Among Prince Jing's side concubines, the Emperor pointed to the daughter of Wei Xiangrong, the deputy commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division."

The elder's face became even darker, and he turned to look at his son, "What do you mean?"

"My son has little experience, so I don't dare to lie. However, I think that King Jing may not be the one who really hates the emperor. At the beginning, no one was willing to go to the frontier to reward the army. King Jing was thrown on this job, but the final result What? The granddaughter of Marquis Bei'an became his concubine. No one wants to interfere with the salt affairs. This pond is so deep and so dark that many people are involved in it. Back then, several people were involved in our family, but Prince Jing I was sent on this mission again, and what happened in the end? The salt affairs took several years of hard work and setbacks, and they were still handled properly by King Jing. The emperor took the salt affairs errands to King Jia, and everyone thought that Prince Jing Wronged, I felt that the emperor treated him coldly, but in a blink of an eye, the sea transport was given to him, and finally the inner court mansion also belonged to King Jing. Now something happened in the palace, the streets were closed, people were arrested, and people were killed. Such things fell to Jing. On the king's head, it seems that Prince Jing has been pushed to the cusp of the storm again, but he has come into contact with the military power of the Imperial Forest Army. If there is no accident, Prince Jing will not be able to escape from this interrogation job."

What Dong Yuncheng said, the Elder knows and has thought about it.But the grievances Prince Jing had suffered in the palace for so many years, and the emperor's indifference to him for so many years, had already left a deep imprint on their hearts.But Dong Yuncheng's generation did not have such a deep understanding, after all they just grew up, and they had never seen anything in the palace with their own eyes.

Some things, once an opinion is formed, are not easy to change.

The old man had already deeply believed in his heart that the emperor didn't like Prince Jing, so even if what his son said was reasonable, it was unbelievable to him.

"Do you think the emperor is paving the way for Prince Jing?" This kind of truth made it difficult for the Grand Master to accept.

Dong Yuncheng's expression also became serious, "Son, I'm not sure, but it's not normal for so many coincidences to happen together." Moreover, the eldest daughter of Duke Ding's mansion became a side concubine, and the second wife's daughter became a regular concubine. Concubine, such a coincidence is also puzzling.It's just that he doesn't want to bring up the matter involving his sister easily, otherwise his mother will definitely get angry at him again if she knows it.

"But I still don't know what happened in the palace. Do you want to ask Princess Jing?" The Eldest Master hesitated. The second bedroom has now moved out, and Dingguo's mansion is no longer united as before.

"My son thinks that if the second younger sister has nothing to say, I'd rather not ask about it." She wouldn't say anything even if she asked, Dong Yuncheng knew that Hui Yu had a prejudice against Duke Dingguo's mansion.But there are some things.He couldn't stop it, and he couldn't save it. In order to prevent the relationship from deteriorating, he still persuaded her.

The old man's expression was really not good-looking at all, so he snorted in the end and didn't mention this matter again.Dong Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his father's back and said: "The third brother doesn't know how his job is in Jiangsu, I think father should ask the second uncle."

When Dong Yunji was mentioned, the Elder's expression was subtle, but he didn't speak.

Dong Yuncheng naturally knew what his father was thinking, so he only said one sentence, "Father, the second brother is a good one. Didn't grandma always say that brothers and sisters should take care of each other? The errands in Jiangsu are not easy to do, and my son accidentally heard about King Anding. It's very restless over there, and the second brother is afraid that he will suffer."

"Hmph, he has a concubine sister and a grandfather who is Lord Marquis, how can there be no one to take care of him!" The elder said angrily.

"But Prince Jing has only been a prince for a few years, and his foundation is slightly weaker in the south. The Marquis of Bei'an's contacts are all in the border army, and the Jiangnan side must not be able to get in. Our Dong family has a foundation of hundreds of years, and some things are better than theirs. It’s much more convenient.” Dingguo’s mansion is still headed by his father, and he can’t do anything about many things, and his subordinates won’t listen to him.

The old man still didn't speak.

Dong Yuncheng was also very helpless for his father's stubbornness, he only said: "Then you should pave the way for yourself, King Ning will not know about the Dong family's private actions."

"Nonsense, why don't you know?" The elder was very dissatisfied with his son's deception.

"Then you don't care about the second brother?"

"Where do I need to be troublesome."

"Father, Second Uncle only has such a legitimate son. If something happens to him, Second Uncle and Second Sister will hate us to death."

"They dare? It's not my fault."

"You also watched your second brother grow up, so you just have the heart to watch him being tortured?"

"...I don't have the heart to bear it." That kid deserves it, he didn't know how to restrain himself when he arrived in the south, hmph, not everyone can burn the three fires when the new official takes office, and he should be taught a lesson if he gets burned. . "If I want to make a move, your sister will hate me to death..." The old man's face was also a bit gloomy. If he doesn't move, Wan'er's life will be easier, but if he moves, after King Ning knows However, Wan'er's life will be difficult.The biological ones and those in the next room always tend to have more flesh on their own bodies.

"Does King Ning treat her well now?" Dong Yuncheng sneered, "If there is a day when King Ning is honored by the Xia family's main concubine, there is nothing wrong with that child, brother Ping. My sister still treats King Ning well." Extravagant hope, it's fine if she can't see clearly, but should we be confused too?"

"Let me think about it." The Elder rubbed his brows. This matter is related to the future of the Dingguo Mansion. Whether it is Dong Wan, Dong Yunji, or Dong Huiyu, if the Dingguo Mansion collapses, What else is there to say.

Dong Yuncheng backed out quietly, feeling his palms were full of sweat, looked up at the sky, and went straight out of the house instead of going back to the backyard.

Pinxiangju.

Because of the street closure for several days, the quietness of Qianmen Street was filled with vitality by the bustling crowd.Dong Yunji went in directly from the back door of Pinxiangju. The shopkeeper saw him pointing to the second floor, so Dong Yunji nodded and went directly to the second floor.

In the old place, Ji Qiyu was already sitting there.

"My lord, I'm late." Dong Yuncheng hugged Ji Qiyu to express his apology, and sat down opposite him.

"It's not too late, I just arrived too." Ji Qiyu said, watching Dong Yuncheng sit down, "How is things going?"

"We still have to wait." Dong Yuncheng's tone was a little irritated, "My father is more worried, and the second brother, I'm afraid the prince will have to deal with it for a few days."

Ji Qiyu nodded, "This time King Anding's contacts in the capital were uprooted, and his anger was directed at Yunji. Even though I had already made proper arrangements for him in the south. But this time in the palace What happened was really an accident, if a sudden change implicates him in his life, your sister is afraid that she will fight me desperately."

Dong Yuncheng lowered his eyes, "Second sister is kind and righteous, but I can't help her."

"You helped her find a good husband, she will thank you in the future." Ji Qiyu raised her eyebrows.

Dong Yuncheng looked at Ji Qiyu, and said after a long time: "If my father knew that I had already been with you secretly, he might drive me out of the house."

"Expelled from the house?" Ji Qiyu laughed, "It's too late for you to regret it now."

"As a human being, the most important thing is faith. I have never regretted it." Dong Yuncheng turned the teacup in his hand.

"Jiang Qing was able to catch everyone in just a few days, and thank you for your accurate information." He had no choice but to escape in the palace. If it wasn't for Dong Yunji's secret help, Jiang Qing would not have finished his work so quickly.

"I really didn't mean it this time. I paid attention to King Anding because Yunji was on an errand in the south. Who would have thought that he would be so ambitious and dare to murder Jinjin."

"I never thought that he would have such a foundation in Kyoto."

"Have the people behind King Anding found any evidence?"

Listening to Dong Yuncheng directly asking about the evidence instead of asking who is behind it, Ji Qiyu smiled, "You are still as smart as ever."

"It's all because of you spreading the net." There was a pause at this point, "Although I still can't order people from the Dong family, I still know the information the Dong family got. Although my father is close to King Ning, many I didn't tell him about it." His father still kept a hand.

"That's because King Ning puts more emphasis on Duke Xin's Mansion." Ji Qiyu exposed the truth mercilessly.

Dong Yuncheng coughed lightly and glanced at him, "Won't you save some face?"

"Let me save face, and you won't be sitting here." It was because he believed in him that he spoke so mercilessly, and he wouldn't say a word to others.

Dong Yuncheng smiled, "My second sister really doesn't know how to bear your temper."

When Huiyu was mentioned, Ji Qiyu looked a little better, and said slowly, "Prince Ning's hands and feet are clean, and we haven't found any clues." Knowing that Ji Fuyan was in a relationship with King Anding, but couldn't find evidence, Ji Qiyu Yu is also very depressed. "However, I am more inclined. This time, King Anding did it without telling King Ning."

Dong Yuncheng remained silent, just stroking the teacup, and asked another question after a long time, "Who will stay in prison during the hunting trip?"

"Anyway, it won't be me." Ji Qiyu said.

"...So sure?" He thought that with this arrest, the emperor might really look at Prince Jing differently.What he said to his father in the mansion was just to persuade his father, but whether it was true, he himself was not sure.

Ji Qiyu turned her head to look out of the window, and said word by word: "The letter from the Marquis of Bei'an, the Marquis of Anding has a close relationship with Gu Haorong, and he even went to the border gate to meet him in person. He told us, and he will definitely tell us. Your Majesty, otherwise, why did the Emperor want to be hunted when something like this happened in the capital? Just to prevent everyone from getting suspicious, Huiyu and I will accompany you."

No one knows how much the Marquis of Bei'an loves Concubine Jing. The emperor Wai Lie brought Prince Jing's family with him, and it was also for Bei'an Hou's face. From the very beginning, he knew that he must go on the hunting trip.

"Then I'll find an excuse to stay." Dong Yuncheng sighed, he still wanted to take this opportunity to walk around with the Marquis of Bei'an, but Ji Qiyu left, and he needed someone to look after the affairs of the capital.King Ning probably knew who the people next to him were, and he wouldn't suspect others if he left.

"That's fine, you stay here and don't make a fuss." Ji Qiyu stood up, "Don't tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law about Yunji's affairs. If Duke Ding doesn't move, I can only think of other ways."

"I'll talk to my father again."

"There is no need to force it." Ji Qiyu mentioned that Duke Ding was still very unhappy.

Dong Yuncheng smiled wryly, "I understand."

After the two separated, Ji Qiyu went straight back to Prince Jing's mansion, Huiyu saw him and said, "I'm looking for you."

"What's the matter?" Ji Qiyu came over and asked.

"Concubine Han wants to see Sister Zhao, so let me take the child into the palace." Huiyu said, "If you don't come back, we have to leave."

"Enter the palace?" Ji Qiyu frowned, seeing what Huiyu was doing at this time.
