The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 142 Huangfu Yu's Suspicion

"I see the emperor." Zhao Jin strode into the imperial study and saluted Huangfu Yu who was sitting on the throne.

Huangfu Yu raised his head from the notes on the imperial case, "Get flat."

Zhao Jin responded, "I don't know what your majesty summoned you for?"

"How is the matter with the Alliance of Nations?" Since Nanhua is the host, within the two months of the Alliance of Nations, everything must be carefully considered. Among them, maintaining Huadu The safety of the city is a huge problem, and during this period of time, people from all directions in the Central Plains, mixed with fish and dragons, will appear in Huadu, and the maintenance of public security in Huadu needs to be coordinated in any aspect, and this matter has fallen into the Zhao Jin's body.

It is less than half a month before the alliance of various countries, and the envoys from various countries are on their way, but all the preparations in Huadu are under planning. Hearing Huangfu Yu's question, Zhao Jin said in a deep voice , "The minister has already made multiple deployments."

After a pause, Zhao Jin took out a booklet from his sleeve and presented it to Huangfu Yu, "This is the situation and progress of the minister's recent deployment, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Eunuch Zhang next to Huangfu Yu came down and took the folder in Zhao Jin's hand into Huangfu Yu's hand. Huangfu Yu took it directly and opened it for a few glances. A brief report on the deployment of Huadu against the alliance of various countries.

Huangfu Yu simply flipped through it for a while, and before Zhao Jin finished speaking, he had already put down the notebook, and raised his hand to stop Zhao Jin from reporting, "Okay, I understand, you can handle these matters Yes, I believe in your ability."

Zhao Jin paused, but his expression didn't change too much, "Thank you Your Majesty, I will do my best and will never let the slightest mistake happen in this alliance of various nations."

"I still believe in your ability."

After a pause, Huangfu Yu stared at Zhao Jin for a long time, Zhao Jin had already noticed it, and cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty still has something to order."

Huangfu Yu was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, Zhao Jin didn't know what it meant, but still stood quietly by the side.

Huangfu Yu suddenly said, "Zhao Jin, it seems that I haven't talked to you properly for a long time."

"His Majesty……"

Huangfu Yu's relaxed words did not make Zhao Jin feel flattered or relaxed at all.

Huangfu Yu waved his hand, "You don't have to be so nervous."

Huangfu Yu stood up suddenly, walked directly down from the seat of the imperial court, glanced at Zhao Jin, and said, "Let's go with me."

In my impression, in the past few years, Huangfu Yu has rarely been so close to him. Back then, when Huangfu Yu had not ascended the throne, Zhao Jin and Huangfu Yu had a very good relationship. He was Huangfu Yu's companion. To study with him, to grow up with him, but in fact, to read with him, it is better that he is the confidant that the late emperor deliberately cultivated for Huangfu Yu.It's just that later... when Huangfu Yu sat on the throne, many things were no longer the same as when he was a teenager.

This time, Zhao Jin didn't know why Huangfu Yu got so close to him again, but there is no doubt that, out of the affection of growing up together, he was someone who knew Huangfu Yu well, and he definitely didn't get close to his subjects like this people.

But since Huangfu Yu was already like this, there was no room for him to refuse, so he had no choice but to follow Huangfu Yu and go out with Huangfu Yu.

After being silent for a short distance, Huangfu Yu finally said, "The people from Kingdom Chen who are here to participate in the Alliance of Nations are King Jin of Kingdom Chen and the newly appointed Ruan Tongzhi."

This is the news I got early in the morning. Thinking of that Ruan Tongzhi and the soldiers and horses that were lost because of this, Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes, "Return to Your Majesty, it is Ruan Tongzhi."

Huangfu put his hands behind his back, "Ruan Tongzhi, Ruan Fu, the eldest daughter of Chen Guo's right minister's mansion, is now over seventeen years old, that is, Meng Changqing who suddenly appeared in the Central Plains six years ago and gained fame."

Speaking of this, Huangfu Yu's tone became more complicated, as if he was whispering, "Meng Changqing...Meng Changqing...Meng...Changqing."

Zhao Jin didn't know what he thought of, "Your Majesty."

Huangfu Yu suddenly said, "Zhao Jin, Meng Yao taught you the art of war when you were a child. How to say, it is also related to the Meng family. From your point of view, this Meng Changqing really has nothing to do with the Meng family. Is it related?"

Zhao Jin was startled, "Your Majesty has learned a lesson."

Huangfu Yu turned to look at him, with a smile on his lips, "You don't have to be nervous, I didn't say anything about you."

Zhao Jin didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief because of this, and still followed Huangfu Yu with her lips pursed.

Huangfu Yu said leisurely, "Although the Meng family has double-hearted intentions of treason and seeking the country, you are my capable general and I believe in you. It's just that...the timing of Meng Changqing's appearance is too coincidental. I always feel that, Even though she is from the Ruan Mansion of Chen Country, it still makes people feel suspicious, Empress..."

Huangfu Yu sighed, "You and I are both aware of the empress's ability, if it is said that she actually died in fake death, I would not believe it, but you have been in contact with Meng Changqing, do you think there is any doubt about it. "

Zhao Jin followed behind Huangfu Yu, listening to Huangfu Yu's remark, the corners of her lips pursed slightly. Zhao Jin knew exactly what happened to the Meng family back then, but she understood Huangfu Yu's worries and fears even more. , Back then, he couldn't do anything or say anything, and he still can't do anything now.

Seeing his silence, Huangfu Yu stopped and turned to look at him.

Zhao Jin said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I believe that Meng Changqing, or Ruan Fu, has nothing to do with Empress Meng."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

Zhao Jin said, "Mr. Meng will not leave Nanhua."

"Heh!" Huangfu Yu snorted lightly, "Zhao Jin, thinking of a general."

Zhao Jin didn't make a sound, but Huangfu Yu continued, "You have fought Meng Changqing before, tell me about the similarities between her and the Meng family."

Zhao Jin frowned, "The only place Weichen and Ruan Fu fought was in the battle between Yuanyang City and Xiao Yushan."

Huangfu Yu squinted his eyes, "I remember you said that she also knows a lot about military formations, but if I remember correctly, your military formations were taught by Meng Yao."

"Yes."

"That's really interesting."

"Your Majesty, I have checked that Ruan Fu is indeed Ruan Song's daughter. She left Yongjia at the age of ten due to an accident in the house and went south to keep filial piety for her mother. However, she was assisted by Bai Moru, the seeker of the Chen Kingdom, and became Bai Moru's adoptive daughter. "

Zhao Jin explained.

Huangfu Yu was silent, he didn't know what he was thinking, "Zhao Jin, tell me, have you ever doubted it?"

Zhao Jin paused, "I used to doubt it, but now I don't doubt it anymore."

Huangfu Yu sighed, "Forget it, although I suspected it at the beginning, but there is no really reliable basis after all. I'm afraid that after many years, another woman like the Meng family will emerge from the Meng family."

Hearing this, Zhao Jin wanted to say that the Meng family had run out of strength, no matter what happened to Ruan Fu and Meng Ruan, the two people could never be the same person, but seeing Huangfu Yu's silent figure, he still kept silent .

He knew that this was Huangfu Yu's inner demon, even if there was no Ruan Fu, there would be another person.

Huangfu Yu didn't say anything, Zhao Jin only said, "I will pay close attention to the changes in Chen Kingdom."

Huangfu Yu nodded, "Go."

"Wei Chen retire."

Zhao Jin left, but Huangfu Yu was still standing there alone, wondering what he was thinking, and Eunuch Zhang, who was following him behind him, said softly, "Your Majesty..."

Huangfu Yu said in a low tone, "What do you think?"

Eunuch Zhang was originally an eunuch who followed Huangfu Yu's father, Emperor Zhaolie, and since Emperor Zhaolie left, he has followed Huangfu Yu's side. Speaking of which, he is almost twice the age of Huangfu Yu. Huangfu Yu grew up, and naturally knows his master very well. Hearing Huangfu Yu's question, Zhang Gonggong lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know, but I feel that there is a sentence that General Zhao said is true. Nothing wrong."

"Oh?" Huangfu Yu turned his head and glanced at him.

Eunuch Zhang didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and still bowed his head respectfully and said, "Mr. Meng, you can't do without Nanhua."

After a long time, Huangfu Yu sighed softly, "It seems that I have had too many nightmares recently."

Eunuch Zhang didn't say any more, Huangfu Yu's lips curled up into a smile, Ruan Fu...Ruan Fu, that person who does things almost exactly like Meng Ruan, why don't he think of the two of them together ?

Caihuan Pavilion is the most famous brothel in Huadu, and it is also the place where the wealthy children of Huadu live and dream.

At this time, it is still broad daylight, but the business of Caihuan Pavilion is very lively. Half a street away, you can hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming from inside, and at this moment in Caihuan Pavilion, It is also very lively.

Coming down from the stairwell on the second floor, he looked like a young man in his 20s. He looked drunk, and his face was completely stained with drunkenness, but he was still holding a jug in his hand, looking drunkenly. It was also full of drunkenness.

But he is holding a girl from Caihuan Pavilion on the left and another girl on the right, which looks very happy.

The mother of Caihuan Pavilion followed behind, calling constantly, "Oh, be careful, you have to take good care of the young master."

"Got it, mom..." the two girls said coquettishly, and after finishing speaking, they wrapped their arms around the man again and said coquettishly, "Young Master, be careful."

The drunken man squinted at the two girls beside him, "Master, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, Miss Xueyao..."

"Young Master has admitted the wrong person again. We are Xiaoyue and Xiaolan, not Sister Xueyao."

"Miss Xueyao, I want to see Miss Xueyao, I want to see Miss Xueyao..."

After all, he started to get restless again, making noise on the stairs, and the mother of Caihuan Pavilion who followed behind also had a bitter face, "Oh, I said young master, Miss Xueyao is not feeling well today, she can't Meet the guests, the young master has drunk too much, quickly ask the young master to go back."

In the Caihuan Pavilion, such things are commonplace, and drunken guests are also common things. There are also many people clamoring to see the Hua Kui Xueyao of the Caihuan Pavilion, so they don't attract much attention. A young master who has just passed the age of the weak crown but has already visited the brothels in Huadu, but he is a famous traveler in Huadu. , so everyone is used to it.

The stairs on this side are still noisy, but from the bottom of the stairs, a young gentleman in Tsing Yi came up and walked up the stairs. The noise here seems to have occupied half of the stairs. It is also very inconvenient to get in and out, but because of the extraordinary status of this young master, no one dared to say anything.

Seeing this, the young man in Tsing Yi just frowned slightly, his eyes glanced at the young master, a hint of disdain flashed across his lips, and then he easily walked around him and went up, but, Apparently, the drunk young master was making a fuss, and for some reason, he grabbed the sleeve of the young man in Tsing Yi.

The young man in Tsing Yi frowned, moved his arm slightly, and then pulled off the hand of the young master holding his clothes. Obviously he was a practicing family boy, so the young master was shocked by him, and went to the railing next to the stairs. Flipping over, Xiaolan and Xiaoyue were so frightened that they hurriedly grabbed him, and they didn't forget to stare at the man in Tsing Yi, "Oh, who are you, if you hurt the young master, you will feel better."

The man in Tsing Yi squinted his eyes and remained silent, but his gaze stayed on the little duke for a moment, then he turned and went up the stairs. The little dude seemed to be too drunk and didn't mind being held by such a person. I almost fell, and only murmured Miss Xueyao's name, and then went downstairs under the care of Xiaolan Xiaoyue and Caihuan Pavilion's mother, and the man in Tsing Yi disappeared at the corner of the second floor .

When mom packed up everything below and returned to her room on the second floor of Caihuan Pavilion, there was already a young man in Tsing Yi sitting at the table. Mom couldn't hide the joy on her face, but she still respectfully said, "Weaver has met the master, when did the master return to Nanhua?"

"Just arrived in these two days."

"Now is the time for the alliance of nations, and the master chooses to come back at this time, does he have a plan?"

The man in Tsing Yi hooked his lips, and a smile melted from the corner of his lips, "Weaver, Nanhua, the sky is about to change."

After the meeting at the end of June, envoys from various countries arrived in Huadu one after another. Ruan Fu, Yu Wujue and others returned to the envoy team of Chen Kingdom when they were still one city away from Nanhua. The journey went smoothly, and nothing uncontrollable happened.

However, until now, when she was about to reach Huadu, Ruan Fufang felt a little tired. Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing. She just rubbed her eyebrows when she noticed that the carriage stopped, as if it was It has already stopped, and the people outside have already said, "Ruan Tongzhi, Nanhua Capital has arrived."

Ruan Fu paused for a moment, and put away the slightly tired expression that had just appeared on his face. A faint smile spread across his lips, and there was no trace of the tiredness in the carriage just now in his brows. When he lifted the curtain and got out of the car, The outside seemed to be people sent by Nanhua to welcome them.

"King Jin, King Ji, the Twelve Princes of the Kingdom of Chen, and Ruan Tongzhi have worked hard with all the envoys. The post station has been prepared for you. Please go to the city and rest for a while." Wu Jue and Ruan Fu bowed their hands together.

What surprised Ruan Fu was that the person who came to receive them this time was none other than Zhao Jin, the general of Nanhua.

As Ruan Fu got off the carriage, a group of envoys from Kingdom Chen also got off the carriage behind him.

Seeing this, Yu Wujue slightly raised his eyebrows, "Thank you, General Zhao."

What kind of person Yu Wujue is, not to mention, Zhao Jin has always had a kind of bright complex in his heart, especially when he was in Yuanyang City. Therefore, when he saw Yu Wujue, he also said, "Your Majesty, you are welcome. Hearing about King Jin's demeanor in the countries of the Central Plains, and only because King Jin came to attend the alliance in person, Zhao Jin would like to ask the prince for advice."

Yu Wujue nodded lightly, and said, "It's easy to say, this king just wants to learn about General Zhao's demeanor."

Zhao Jin cupped her hands, but looked past Yu Wujue, looking at Ruan Fu behind him, squinting her eyes, "I think this is Ruan Tongzhi."

The corners of Ruan Fu's lips raised slightly, he took a step forward, landed half a step behind Yu Wujue, and said calmly, "It is Ruan Fu, who has admired the name of General Zhao for a long time."

Zhao Jin squinted her eyes, as if she was sizing up Ruan Fu, "I don't know how to call it, Ruan Tongzhi, or Mr. Meng Changqing and Meng."

Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Didn't you already address the general just now, this time Ruan Fu came here as one of the representatives of the envoys of Chen Kingdom."

Seeing Ruan Fu's indifferent smile, Zhao Jin narrowed her eyes, "Tongzhi Ruan, please—"

"Please--"
