Hearing that Chu Nanzhi was going to pay homage to Gu Lei in person, Nie Huaian immediately showed deep concern: "Da Zhi, you should not continue to stay in the land of right and wrong now. I heard that the war in the north is tense now, and the ancestors and the new emperor are
I look forward to your return to Beijing for reunion as soon as possible. In my opinion, you should leave for Beijing as soon as possible. As for the matter of Langzhou, it is better to leave it to Governor Tan and Li Sanmu."
"I don't know that the situation in the capital is difficult, and I want to take the little treasures to the capital as soon as possible. But before I find out the assassination of Chang Lao, how can I go to the capital to see my ancestors and your majesty?"
Chu Nanzhi knew very well that if she stayed in Langzhou for one more day, someone would want to make a fuss about herself and Xiaobao. Fortunately, the Dongsang people were defeated and there would be no big risk for the time being.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Nie Huaian had no choice but to comply. He frowned and nodded: "Since you have made up your mind, let me accompany you to fulfill Chang Lao's last wish and promote this reform of the official system. I also want to see it.
Let’s see who is so bold and dares to be so disrespectful to the new emperor and queen.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tang Weiming leading Tan Qing in a hurry.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt that something was not good and quickly asked: "Prince Tan, what happened?"
"Queen, Hu Maoxi, the magistrate of Anhe County, sent someone to report that Princess Qian and her two children were assassinated on the border of Langzhou, and the accompanying guards were missing. After hearing the bad news, the subordinates did not dare to take action, so they came to ask the queen for instructions.
I still ask the queen to make a decision and report it to the capital as soon as possible?"
Tan Qing frowned, already very worried.
Since he took over as the governor of Langzhou, major events have occurred one after another, and he is really exhausted both physically and mentally.
"Princess Qian was assassinated?"
Upon hearing the news, Chu Nanzhi and Nie Huai'an looked at each other, both surprised.
"The Queen Mother and the Tang family have done many evil things, and they have killed many loyal people over the years. It is not surprising that Princess Qian would be punished for such evil."
Nie Huaian said suspiciously: "I'm afraid someone is just taking this opportunity to vent their anger."
"It is reasonable for my teacher to have such a guess."
Chu Nanzhi sighed and sighed: "It is true that some people hate the Queen Mother, Queen Qinghe, mother and son, and the old party. But Princess Qian has chosen to go to Beijing. This misfortune is really unpredictable. It is already extremely miserable, so why take the risk again?"
If the ancestors and His Majesty hadn't nodded their heads to murder her, the crime of assassinating the princess would be extraordinary. What's more, the accompanying guards are all official servants of the Langzhou Prefecture, and murdering the official servants is not something that can be solved with just a few words of blame."
Tan Qing also looked confused: "According to the Queen's instructions, I don't dare to be careless at all. The guards selected are all the most clever and agile in the state capital. Even though these murderers have a deep hatred for the Queen Mother and the Tang family, they assassinated a
This is not a wise move for the down-and-out princess."
"Langzhou border?"
Chu Nanzhi thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea: "Why did you choose to attack Princess Qian and her son at the border of Langzhou?"
After her reminder, Nie Huaian immediately responded: "The Tang family has been operating in Yizhou for many years, and the old party's influence is still spread throughout Yizhou. The situation in Beijing is tense now. Could it be that someone deliberately provoked civil strife and wanted to provoke His Majesty?
Conflict with Tang’s old party?”
"exactly."
Chu Nan Zhi Mei Feng flashed and immediately looked at Tan Qing: "Master Governor, where is Tang Yi, the former Governor of Yizhou, living now?"
"After His Majesty took Yizhou, he was promoted to the post of governor of Changning County. Zheng Huan stayed in Yizhou. Now he has taken over the post of governor of Yizhou. As for Tang Yi, although he still holds the post of governor, Yizhou's troops and horses have not been mobilized.
Governor Zheng is in charge."
Tan Qing gave a detailed report.
"I heard that there are many Yizhou troops accompanying them to Beijing this time. The three Qinghe prefectures have not been pacified at the moment. If Princess Qian's death cannot be found out early, I am afraid it will affect the morale of the army."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but show deep anxiety on his face: "Although His Majesty and I have never thought of holding these old parties accountable, there are still people who deliberately want to provoke disputes in the court and ignore the safety of the empire. We have to be careful.
.”
"Could it be the King of Beibin who is far away in the land of Qinghe who is instigating this?"
Tan Qing noticed it immediately and asked with a frown.
"I'm afraid I have nothing to do with him."
Chu Nanzhi nodded hesitantly: "Master Governor, you immediately send an order to Li Sanmu to go to Yizhou to investigate the case thoroughly, and convey the orders of this palace and your Majesty. Your Majesty and I are very sorry for the death of Princess Qian, and we will definitely discuss it as soon as possible."
Investigate this case thoroughly and provide justice to the mother and son."
Tan Qing's eyes paused slightly: "Do you want to report everything that happened in Langzhou to the court?"
The old master was assassinated, and the new emperor's son and daughter couldn't even invite a wet nurse. If such a strange thing were to be hidden from His Majesty, he would be deeply frightened.
Chu Nanzhi stood up slowly, carefully recalling several major events that had happened in the city since the national mourning. After pondering for a long time, he nodded and said, "Let me tell you the story."
"yes."
After receiving the order, Tan Qing clasped his fists and left.
Nie Huai'an also had mixed feelings in his heart at this time. Besides being angry, he also felt sorry for his students.
Jin Xiao has just ascended the throne, and Nan Zhi has just given birth, but someone keeps causing trouble at this juncture, which is really annoying.
Secretly clenching his fists, he warned in a serious voice: "Da Zhi, you should go back home early and rest. Regarding the matter of paying homage to Mr. Gu, I will send someone to deliver the letter first, and settle everything before leaving the city. You often
Your husband has just been assassinated, and you must not be careless about your safety."
"Well, Mr. Nie should be more careful and don't cause any trouble again."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at Nie Huaian uneasily.
The most worrying thing now is his safety.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Nie Huaian pursed his lips and nodded.
Chang Lao's death has left this girl in a state of confusion. Now, even for the sake of his two beloved disciples, he must live well.
After receiving Lao Nie's promise, Chu Nanzhi felt much more comfortable and led the little treasures to leave peacefully.
Back at home, in the bedroom, the babies surrounded little Reggie, who refused to leave for a moment.
Looking at the two cute little babies and their uneasy mother, the babies all consoled them sensibly: "Mom, don't worry, we will definitely protect our brothers and sisters."
"With you guys here, mother believes in Rui Ji, and Rui Ji will definitely not be bullied in the future."
After receiving the comfort from the little guys, Chu Nanzhi felt much warmer in her heart.
They coaxed the quadruplets until very late and had dinner together in the inner hall before letting Jin Hui and the Chu sisters pick them up.
In the quiet inner room, she looked at the two little babies who were already sleeping soundly. Thinking that she would no longer have to suffer the pain of not having breast milk from tomorrow on, she immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
After a rare sleep, she was woken up the next day by the cries of Little Reggie and Little Reese. She dragged her tired body to sit up and fed the two little ones some milk each, soaking up as much rain and dew as possible.
Although they didn't let the two brothers and sisters eat enough, they were at least coaxed.
When she had some free time, she hurriedly went to ask Abi and Achun who were waiting in the room: "Has the wet nurse arrived at the house?"
"The servants just went to the kitchen to get water. I heard from the old lady that the old marquis had already sent someone to pick it up early in the morning. They must be here soon."
Ah Chun finished his reply when he heard Chu Wenbi's cursing voice coming in: "Damn you thief, my Chu family has never offended the officials and people of Langzhou. Who is so heartless?"
Chu Nanzhi raised her eyes with furrowed brows and saw Tang Weiming walking in with a melancholy expression. She knelt down sadly and lowered her head to report: "Queen Qi, the wet nurse and her family of six were killed last night.
