Chapter 97 Kneeling
Seeing the pier getting closer and closer, Chengyun felt increasingly uneasy.
Her mind flashed back to her request to Dr. Xu that day in the palace.
It seems like she didn't just go out to inspect the store this time?
She won't do anything unintentional.
Suddenly, he was glad that he had not only kept in touch with her over the years, but also kept writing letters to Li Cheng, otherwise he would not have been able to keep up with her coming to Nanchu.
She expected that Li Chengchu would not leave when he became a father, and his sister could not leave Pei Yan if she accidentally fell into his eyes. These two people controlled the inside and outside of the capital of Beiyong, so what else could they worry about?
Everything is arranged very well so that she can travel?
It turned out that he was so convinced that he hurriedly asked for leave from his father and chased her all the way from Xiyao. Pei Yan repeatedly reminded him that the cabbage was stolen. How could he not be afraid that the cabbage he got would end up in someone else's pot?
Now it seems that is not the case at all!
This little woman who promised to be honest with her didn't have a thorough understanding at all.
The closer he got to the dock, the clearer these things were in Chengyun's mind.
She is an example of how to get the tiger's cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den!
"Why save her?" Chengyun finally asked, knowing very well that she was not a Holy Mother!
Yan Jue had an incredible smile on her lips and said, "Don't you think what those children said is interesting?"
He didn't listen carefully to the words of the children. He just thought that the names of the two children were very nice!
Suddenly, he stopped, paused, and looked at her with a playful smile.
How could the little beggar have such a beautiful name?
Danru? Zeping? How could a beggar with so little food come up with such a nice name?
Yan Juan also stopped and looked at the man who was thinking about him. The spring breeze was blowing the moon-white ribbon on his bun. The white moonlight highlighted his tall and tall body, and his age added an unattainable elegance to him.
Angry!
Can such a man tolerate her fun-loving temperament?
Although the body carries souls of different ages, the freedom-loving nature has not changed, and the ambition to touch every land on Kyushu is ahead. How can I follow him back home?
Chengyun came back to his senses and saw that she was looking at him in a trance. His thoughts had drifted to nowhere. To live up to her affectionate look back, he held his arms around the beautiful lady and regained his senses in his arms as he wished. He lowered his head and looked closer.
Her eyes couldn't find the focus for a moment, and she smiled playfully.
Yan Jue's vision blurred for a while, and the evil smile that caught her eye made her punch the chest in front of her in frustration.
When she thought of her being in a daze towards the man, she raised her hand to cover his teasing gaze and lowered her head to hide her embarrassment.
"What are you thinking about? You're lost in thought!"
Yan Juan raised her eyes again and saw his deep eyes, and her heart suddenly became filled with hatred. Her length brought the two of them too close. No wonder he could always steal a kiss so easily. She couldn't push her away, so she had to admit defeat and keep silent.
Sighing: "I'm thinking about what Zeping said!"
Change the subject! Is it possible to honestly admit her inner plan?
"Huh?" He prolonged his voice, not really believing it, pretending to be slightly stunned and asked: "Looking at my face, thinking of other men?"
Yan Juan was stunned by his question, raised her eyebrows and replied hesitantly: "That's still a child!"
"Then don't be honest!" Chengyun looked even more sullen.
She felt in vain that in front of the Great Immortal Temple, she had dug a hole for herself that she could not fill.
How come she is asked to tell the truth every three days?
"Well..." Yan Juan hesitated for a while, completely dumbfounded.
"Huh?" Chengyun continued to draw out his voice.
"I want to go around Kyushu Island." This should be tactful, she comforted herself.
"Why are you looking at me so embarrassed when you want to go?"
"Is this happening?" She touched her face.
"Looking at me wanting to walk around Kyushu Island, do you mean you don't intend to take me with you?" Chengyun snorted coldly.
I really can't hold too many good hopes for her reverie.
"Then I have to be better than him!" This arrogant man humiliated her!
Cheng Yun suddenly turned around her, hooked his long arm on hers, raised his sword eyebrows, and finally said with great difficulty: "Isn't this a little better?"
"..." Yan Juan ignored the hand being touched, turned around and covered her face and smiled.
Can he be so stupid sometimes?
Chengyun ignored her smile and asked himself: "We can only leave two people, do you want it?"
"Okay." Yan Jue agreed generously without any unnecessary words, and the two of them smiled knowingly.
With a satisfactory promise, Chengyun took the initiative to change the subject and asked: "First, tell me why you want to save her?"
"That Zeping said that studying is not literacy." Yan Juan pointed out the problem.
It is extremely rare for a child in a beggar's den to be able to read a thousand-character essay. To be able to use the word "read" made her curious!
In addition, although these children are ragged, the youngest Danru can also speak appropriately. Can we raise such a group of children who know blessings, cherish blessings, and know how to repay kindness? Will the person who leads them be a simple person?
She doesn't think so.
"So, what are you going to do, madam?"
How could such a subtle and understanding woman just be rough with him?
Wasn't he clear enough?
"Wait for Chu Feng!" This time she spread her hands.
Don’t rush to a conclusion about things that are uncertain.
...
Manager Zhou watched from a distance as Chu Feng carried the old woman on his back as he ran along the canal, followed by a group of wailing children. He wanted to get off Chu Feng, but he jumped past him and left an understatement.
"Don't delay me from earning Madam's silver reward!"
These words made Manager Zhou twitch his mouth. Thinking that it was the girl who had arranged it, he quickly stopped the crying children.
"Why are you crying like this? It's not time to go to work yet!" It was still a bit difficult to hold eight children in his arms.
The leader, Zeping, choked up and said: "My mother-in-law was taken away by bad guys..."
"Silly boy! Can he be a bad person if he can be brought back to Cao Yuan?"
This Chu Feng talks little to his master? He doesn’t say anything and runs away behind someone’s back?
Dan Ru opened his eyes and saw everyone chasing the canal back to the canal. He stopped crying, quickly knelt down and kowtowed, kowtowed three times in a row, fell to the ground, and said respectfully: "Dan Ru thanked Manager Zhou on behalf of my mother-in-law for saving her life!"
Manager Zhou helped Dan Ru up, his forehead was bruised.
A seven-year-old child!
His children are two years older than hers and are not that sensible and polite.
We also have children at home, and we can’t bear to have these sensible children homeless.
Therefore, as soon as we received this group of children, we helped them build a small courtyard without saying a word.
He has also tracked the whereabouts of these children at noon every day, so he likes these blessed children even more.
"You guys, don't just sit around and cry. Go back to the courtyard to add firewood and boil water, and let Danru wipe your mother-in-law's body." Manager Zhou gave the order clearly.
"But what about work?" Zeping asked with tears in his eyes.
"What? Can't we do anything without you? Hurry up and go!" Manager Zhou dismissed.
They won’t forget their official duties for personal reasons, these are all good young people!
With tears in their eyes, several children hurried toward the small courtyard, crying louder and louder as they walked. Manager Zhou wanted to stop him and ask what was wrong, but clues came out of the children's howls.
"Brother Zeping! My mother-in-law is saved!"
Danru's delicate and sobbing voice successfully inspired the other children to continue crying.
The two people who came from afar and Manager Zhou laughed when they saw this.
...
After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he only left a few prescriptions of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction. The old man's physical damage caused by lack of conditioning for a long time can be restored quickly as long as he takes good care of it and eats normally in the future.
That night, Yan Juan stayed in the canal and looked through the records copied at the beginning of autumn, while waiting for news from the small courtyard.
Li Qiu copied it from Imperial Physician Xu. When Chu Yuansheng's Gu mother was stolen, he recorded the records of the people who entered and left the Gu room. He also carefully made detailed notes on the personnel and the residence. It was really embarrassing for Li Qiu, so he copied it.
Where’s the big book!
It is very valuable to be able to find the records from twenty years ago, and to be able to organize the personnel clearly. I really bow down to Li Qiu's memory!
Yan Jing flipped through the records and found that the person who entered and exited the most in that record was actually the second wife of Duke Anding, the cousin of Empress Dowager Cao of Southern Chu. She suddenly rubbed her head and worried.
Li Chengdu had a child. If Yuan Sheng was stolen because of the Anding government, she felt chills from the bottom of her heart just thinking about it.
At the beginning of autumn, he noticed that Yan Juan had stopped reading, so he handed over the Yuqian Longjing and asked: "Why are you so worried?"
"Auntie, please tell me why Li Ying was sent to her grandfather's house in the first place?" Yan Jue had to brush off the chilling information first.
"It happened some days ago, but in this situation where the legitimate daughter was sent to her maternal grandfather's house, the internal fighting in the mansion has nothing to do with it??"
It's the beginning of autumn. She hadn't thought that much when she was copying. When she asked, she was stunned. Did the girl suspect the second bedroom of the Anding Palace?
That’s right! Without the Queen’s permission, who could enter the Gu room? Not to mention taking away the Gu mother! Concubine Zhao Gui’s guilt was in vain!
As a result, she completely didn't understand the mentality of being respectful to the emperor.
Forced Empress Dowager Cao to hand over the Hundred Lie Gu Mother to Empress Xu?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look right! Shouldn’t the two mother and son share the same hatred?
The second wife of the Zhong family split up their family half a year before the An Ding Palace was wiped out, thus avoiding the disaster of annihilation. However, the title was no longer within reach. The new concubine Zhao in the palace was the legitimate daughter of the second brother of the Zhong family. The Queen Mother's niece did not become the queen.
She became Concubine Zhao, and Concubine Zhao’s niece became the queen...
Yan Juan thought for a long time and then said, "Auntie, I really can't understand the show played by Emperor Gongshun?"
"The girl didn't expect it to happen. Emperor Gongshun did have a disagreement with Empress Dowager Cao over the case of An Ding Gongfu. Emperor Gongshun often visited Anding Gongfu when he was young. Old Anding Gong was Emperor Gongshun's enlightenment mentor." Li Qiu recalled the connection.
Yan Jue's head really hurt. She covered her face and asked, "Is this Emperor Gong Shun familiar with Li Ying?"
"I must be familiar with you."
"Then it wasn't the second roommate of the Zhong family who was sent out to hunt down Li Ying, right?" Yan Jue felt that Nan Chu's ball of wool was too difficult to deal with.
"There is no clear evidence for this, but the girl's suspicion is reasonable. The second wife of the Zhong family really wanted to break the engagement." Past events flooded into my mind like beans. The massacre of the Anding family had been a hot topic for several days.
"Remember to tell Pei Yan to keep an eye on Lan Xianyue. Whoever sold the information to Nanchu must be found out! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well." Yan Juan closed the record sadly.
Chapter completed!
