On the boat, two bored men were having a conversation.
"I don't like women either..." Wang Xian asked Wu Wei.
"like"
"Why don't you get a wife?"
"You know..." Wu Wei's expression darkened.
Wang Xian laughed and said: "Actually, that's not a big deal. Just marry a wife tomorrow. Your father is still waiting to have a grandson."
"Let's talk about it in the past few days." Wu Wei said with a bitter smile: "During the time when the master was kidnapped, the capital has been in chaos..."
"Okay, okay, drink and drink, one drunk will relieve a thousand worries." Wang Xian said with a smile: "I will be sad tomorrow and worry tomorrow."
"Hey..." What can Wu Wei do to such an adult?
Two days later, Xu Miaojin returned to the capital and found that the capital was indeed in chaos...
How could there not be chaos? In just half a month, the spy chief Wang Xian was kidnapped, she, the emperor's sister-in-law, was kidnapped, the eldest son of the King of Han was kidnapped, and the concubine of King Zhao was also kidnapped... Wang Xian's men went crazy.
The King of Han went crazy, Ji Gang went crazy, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in complete chaos. They could only agree to the King of Han's request, declare martial law throughout the city, strengthen inspections, and ensure that nothing happens again...
Xu Miaojin returned to the capital amidst the turmoil. When the ship arrived at Jinchuan Gate, there were ten times as many officers and soldiers as before at Shuiguan. They were closely checking the passing ships. Whether they were entering or leaving the city, they all had to be carefully inspected.
People or goods.
The boat Xu Miaojin was riding in had to wait in line for most of the day before it sailed to Shuiguan for inspection. Several officials from Yingtian Mansion and officers and soldiers from the City Gate Division jumped on the boat and glared at the old boatman, blowing his beard and saying: "Where did the boat come from?
"
"Back to the official, I am from Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture." The old boatman quickly took out his license and road guide and showed them to the other party. The former proved that he was qualified to sail and carry passengers, and the latter proved that he could leave Songjiang.
Come to the capital.
After careful inspection, the officer threw the things back to the old boatman and asked, "Who is on the boat?"
"My lord, it's a girl..." The old boatman looked at the cabin with the bead curtain behind him.
"Are you alone?" the officer asked.
"Yes." The old boatman also found it unbelievable. Even though Gyeonggi Province is the most prosperous place in the peaceful years, it is still unimaginable that a young girl dares to go on the road alone.
"How is it possible? Let her come out." Naturally, the official felt something was fishy. He opened the curtain and shouted inside: "Come out, come out."
A woman wearing a gauze hat and men's clothing came out of the cabin.
"Take off your bamboo hat," the official shouted, "Take out the road guide."
"I have no way to lead." The woman took off her bamboo hat, and her charming face appeared in front of everyone. Immediately, the people on the boat had difficulty breathing, and this situation quickly spread to the shore. Anyone who saw her face
The people were all stunned.
It is hard to believe that there is such a touching woman in the world, but more importantly, someone recognized her identity.
Although Xu Miaojin is famous all over the world, not many people have actually seen her. However, before she was taken captive, she happened to show up in front of the Jinchuan Gate. Naturally, the defenders saw her appearance and will never forget it.
"You, are you Zhenren Xu?" an officer asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes." Xu Miaojin nodded.
"Zhenren Xu is back." The officers and soldiers, who were still fierce at first, threw their weapons into the air and cheered happily.
The news of Xu Miaojin's return immediately spread throughout the capital, and everyone was shocked. No matter what their mood was, everyone immediately went to Tianxiang Temple to express condolences.
The first ones to come over were the Crown Princess, Lin Qing'er, Zheng Xiu'er and others. Seeing Xu Miaojin, who was wearing a Taoist robe and intact, the Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and wiped away her tears and said, "Thank God, my aunt is finally back safely.
"
Xu Miaojin's eyes were slightly red, and she held hands with Crown Princess Zhang and said, "I've made you worry."
"Real person..." Lin Qing'er also wanted to say a few words to suit the occasion, but when her words came to her mouth, she was blocked by worries. She wanted to know if Wang Xian was safe...
In fact, Xu Miaojin was a little panicked when she saw Lin Qing'er. She felt like a mistress seeing her real wife, and she was the shameful mistress. When Lin Qing'er asked her, she became even more nervous and did not dare to talk to Lin Qing'er.
Qing'er looked at each other.
Her performance fell in Lin Qing'er's eyes, but it was a different feeling. Lin Qing'er thought that her husband was indeed killed, and her vision suddenly went dark, and she fainted.
Zheng Xiu'er and Yin Ling hurriedly supported Lin Qing'er. Zhang held Xu Miaojin's hand tightly and said, "Could it be... Zhong De..."
"It's nothing." Xu Miaojin also understood that Lin Qing'er had misunderstood, but she couldn't directly say that Wang Xian was safe. She could only say what she thought: "Since they can let me back, it means that their words still mean something.
I believe that as long as people are released here, Zhongde will return safely..."
Lin Qing'er woke up slowly, and after hearing Xu Miaojin's words, she just said that she was comforting herself. But since Xu Miaojin had no news of her husband's death, she could hold on, wipe her tears, and stand up to apologize.
"What is this for? Zhongde fell into the enemy's hands to save me, so I should be the one to accuse him." Xu Miaojin hurriedly supported her, and actually saluted Lin Qing'er as she spoke.
Lin Qing'er was startled, but she didn't dare to help her, so she had to hide away quickly.
The scene was a bit chaotic. At this time, only the Crown Princess came to end the situation, but Mrs. Zhang looked at the two of them thoughtfully and said nothing.
Seeing Mrs. Zhang like this, Xu Miaojin knew that she had seen something. She felt panicked and felt a little at a loss.
The embarrassing scene lasted for a while, and Mrs. Zhang came back to her senses and said: "Auntie is tired, and Qing'er is also worried too much. Let's not talk more today. Auntie, please rest, and Qing'er, let's go back too."
Lin Qing'er and others naturally agreed, but Zheng Xiu'er whispered: "I, I want to stay with the master."
"That's fine." Ms. Zhang nodded and said, "Just stay with my aunt." After saying that, she smiled at Xu Miaojin and left with the other women.
After the girls left, only Xu Miaojin and Zheng Xiuer were left in the quiet room. Xu Miaojin found that she felt uncomfortable facing Zheng Xiuer, and her heart was in a mess, feeling guilty and guilty.
"Master, what happened to him?" Although Zheng Xiu'er was weak, she was not stupid at all. She had already seen that Xu Miaojin was not telling the truth. That's why she wanted to stay and ask.
"He... will be fine." Xu Miaojin took a deep breath, adjusted her mood and said: "Xiu'er, you can tell Qing'er when you go back. He is only temporarily okay, but he will come back safely sooner or later. But it must be kept confidential.
, it will harm him if you tell him."
"Is he really going to be okay?" Zheng Xiuer's eyes suddenly turned red. She has been worried to death these days, even more worried than when Wang Xian disappeared in Mobei.
"Really." Xu Miaojin nodded. She saw that Zheng Xiu'er was just worried about Wang Xian and didn't think about it in that direction. She calmed down and asked, "Are you relieved now?"
"Yeah." Zheng Xiu'er burst into laughter and said with some embarrassment: "Master, that's not what I meant..."
"what does that mean?"
"master……"
On the carriage of the Crown Princess, Mrs. Zhang held Lin Qing'er's hand, looked at her thin and haggard face, and finally couldn't help but whisper: "You really didn't see it?"
"What do you see?" Lin Qing'er was stunned. She was in a mess and her usual exquisite orifices were gone.
"The real person is telling lies." The Crown Princess smiled.
"Oh?" Lin Qing'er said with a tight heart: "Is it someone from my family..."
"Can you stop thinking about the worst?" Mrs. Zhang stroked her hair with pity and said, "Think carefully about the real person's words and deeds. Is there something wrong?"
"..." Lin Qing'er calmed down, carefully recalled the process of meeting Xu Miaojin, and said with some understanding: "Is your Majesty saying that the real person is a little confused?"
"Yes." Ms. Zhang nodded and said, "My aunt has always been calm and composed. It is impossible for her to be overly frightened. So the only possibility is that she lied." Then he added.
: "But she swore that nothing would happen to your man, but she couldn't possibly lie to you. Otherwise, how would she meet you in the future? I think she should know something, but it's not convenient for her to say..."
"It makes sense..." Lin Qing'er thought about it, and it was indeed true. But thinking about it this way, there were even more questions. Why was Xu Zhenren so flustered? Why did he avoid looking at her? Could it be that she had an affair with the official?
What's the secret?
A woman's intuition is so terrible. Lin Qing'er guessed the answer right away. Unfortunately, the answer was too ridiculous, and she rejected it the next moment. "Maybe if you say it, it will be detrimental to the officer's safety, right?"
"Well, it's possible." Although Mrs. Zhang didn't quite agree with this judgment, she wanted to mainly comfort Lin Qing'er at this time, so she stopped speculating and said: "In short, it seems that your man's situation should be better than what we thought.
Okay, just go back and wait peacefully, maybe he will show up in a few days."
"Thank you for your good wishes." Lin Qing'er said softly and forced a smile: "Forget it, stop thinking about it, officials and good people have their own destiny, and everything will be fine.
"You're right to think so." Ms. Zhang nodded approvingly and smiled.
At this time, the car arrived at Wang's house. Lin Qing'er got out of the car. When the car curtain was lowered, the smile on Mrs. Zhang's face gradually faded away and replaced with a thoughtful expression. Although the news of what happened in Tongzhou was strictly blocked,
Zhu Zhanji was the one who had experienced it, so he would naturally report it to his father. Zhang had also heard about it. They originally said that the other party had dug a big hole to frame Wang Xian and her husband. Who knew that in the end, the emperor saw it?
When the aunt and nephew got into trouble, Zhu Di was furious and beat Zhu Zhanqi half to death. The family was imprisoned and they did not know whether to live or die. Her sister-in-law, Princess Zhao, was said to have lost her face and hanged herself.
This royal scandal is naturally an out-and-out tragedy, but for the prince's family, it is a turn of events into good fortune. Mrs. Zhang even went to the temple to burn incense to thank the Buddha for his blessing and good fortune in times of trouble. But she
But in my heart I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, and I know that someone must be causing trouble, and the troublemakers are probably Wang Xian's subordinates.
