Chapter 114 The Secret of the Palace (5)
In the Shanggong Bureau, Xu You suddenly announced that five days later, the position of Zhang Zhen will be selected through a competition of skills, and all female historians will participate.

Mo Huayi's face wrinkled, he didn't expect such an accident, he clenched his fists tightly, but thinking that his skills would not lose to anyone, he calmed down.

And the other female historians cheered and jumped up, making their own preparations.

On this day, at the palace gate, Xu You took Xun Zhen and handed the exit sign to the guards. After the guards saw that there was no problem, they walked out of the palace gate smoothly.

Seeing that Xu You's face was full of anxiety and worry, Xun Zhen said, "Master Shanggong, don't worry, your father will definitely make it through, and he will be fine."

After Xu You received the notice from his eldest brother that his father was critically ill, his mind was already in disarray, so he specifically asked the empress to let her go home to see his father on his deathbed for the last time.

Xun Zhen saw that Xu You's gait was a bit unsteady, so he stretched out his hand to support him. As soon as he walked out of the long arch, he saw Xu's carriage parked outside the palace. As soon as Xu Guanting saw the two of them getting off the carriage, "Ayou?"

"Brother, don't say anything, let's go home quickly." Xu You stepped on the carriage quickly.

Xun Zhen followed closely behind.

After Xu Guanting got into the car, he ordered the driver to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the car was so gloomy, Xun Zhen didn't say a word, but just sat aside with peace of mind.

"Xun Zhen, if you go find the golden thread now..." Xu You frowned at her.

"Sir Shanggong, let's go back to Xu's house first, and it's not too late for the subordinates to come out to look for it later." Xun Zhen said, she also wanted to meet her aunt by the way, it's not easy to go out of the palace.

Xu You didn't make a sound, so Xun Zhen naturally kept silent. She also tasted the feeling of losing her family.

When she was approaching Xu's mansion, she idly raised the gauze curtain on the car window. The old man of Xu's family was dying, and it was somewhat embarrassing. While thinking wildly, she suddenly saw a car at the corner not far away. The very familiar carriage seems to belong to Yu Wenhong. Could it be that he also came to see the old man of the Xu family?Then she stretched her neck and looked there, she was right, it was the prince's car.

Xu Guanting saw her looking out the window curiously, "What is Xun Zhangzhi looking at?"

Xun Zhen retracted his head, no doubt he said: "Master Xu, did His Highness the Crown Prince also come to visit Mrs. Xu?"

"How is it possible? You can't talk nonsense about Xun Zhangzhi. My father is not a big official, so it is impossible for the East Palace to come to visit." Xu Guanting's eyes were filled with an imperceptible sense of disappointment.

"No, I saw the prince just now..." Xun really wanted to say that he saw the car of His Highness the prince.

Xu You frowned and interrupted: "Xun Zhen, stop talking nonsense."

Seeing that Xu You was quite displeased, Xun Zhen bit his lip and said nothing, but still hooked his fingers and quietly looked towards the corner, huh?Why is the carriage gone?She quickly wiped her eyes, where is the prince's carriage?Could it be her eyesight?

The carriage quickly drove into the gate of Xu's house, and Xun Zhen had to look away.

At the corner outside the gate of the Xu family that Xun Zhen couldn't see, Yu Wenhong, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly turned to Sun Datong: "Turn around."

"Your Highness, didn't you say to visit Mr. Xu? Doctor Wen said that he won't survive these two days, and he will probably die..."

"Turn around when Gu said, don't you hear me?" Yu Wenhong drank with a gloomy expression.

Sun Datong didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly ordered people to turn the carriage around, and then left in another direction. Sitting in a corner of the carriage, he quietly looked at Yu Wenhong who was leaning on the big welcoming pillow. It had been a long time since His Highness was in such a bad mood. Then the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

Yu Wenhong closed his eyes. At the last moment, he still didn't step into the door of Xu's house. Since she came, he should avoid it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. "I heard that the third brother will be released soon, is there such a thing?"

Sun Datong heard Yu Wenhong's cold inquiry, and hurriedly said: "This is what the old slave heard." He stood up and poured a bowl of tea for Yu Wenhong, and offered it respectfully, "I heard that the Empress Empress came out in person. For those who are begging His Majesty, it is not easy for the empress to tell His Majesty's heirs, and it is difficult to raise one, so it should be given a chance to reform."

Yu Wenhong took a sip of tea, "A chance to turn over a new leaf? What the queen mother said is ridiculous. She wished for the death of the third brother, otherwise how could she stop him from becoming king again and again? Sun Datong, send someone to inquire about the queen mother. Why did you suddenly change your mind? I need to know the reason behind it."

"Yes." Sun Datong replied.

Yu Wenhong leaned his head on the pillow and rubbed his forehead with his hands. Suddenly thinking of that trip with Xun Zhen, he couldn't help but miss her soft jade and gentle fragrance. I don't know what she was doing?I haven't seen her for several days, so I miss her.

"Is Your Highness thinking about Xun's rule?" Sun Datong guessed from the side.

Yu Wenhong glanced at Sun Datong, "It seems that you haven't slapped enough?"

Sun Datong hurriedly covered his mouth, moved his body and sat far away, he clearly refused to admit that he was thinking about it, His Highness is clearly a dead duck with a hard mouth.

Xun Zhen sneezed, who was talking about her?Wrinkling her nose, as soon as she entered the gate of Xu's house, Master Shanggong immediately ran into the inner house, while she was just sitting in the side hall of Xu's house.

Taking a closer look at the layout of Xu's house, the side hall is not too small. There are blue and white porcelains on the rugs in several places, and the materials of the tables and chairs are not too ostentatious, and the cushions under the seats are half old and not new. He took a sip of tea and looked around quietly.

After a while, Xu Guanting came in and said calmly: "Xun Zhangzhi, I have already arranged a carriage, why don't you take the carriage to Wei's House to buy gold thread first, by the way, Ayou has already ordered, she can't accompany you Go, it won't be too late for you to come back tomorrow."

Knowing that Xu You asked her to meet her aunt Xun Lan in private, Xun Zhen hurriedly stood up and blessed, "Xun Zhen thanked Mr. Xu."

Only then did Xu Guanting nod his head, and asked the boy to send Xun Zhen out, and he hurried back to the inner house, his father's condition was really bad.

Xun Zhen walked forward with the servant, and suddenly bumped into a middle-aged man, the man widened his eyes and said angrily: "Which plague dared to hit me?"

The middle-aged man waited to see Xun Zhen clearly, and watched from beginning to end with unfriendly eyes. When did such a woman come to the family? "Who are you? Have I never seen you in the mansion?"
