Xu Qinghuan thought for a moment, sat back down again, and did not open the curtain again to check, but just said: "Then I'll take care of the trouble."
The mother in charge outside was slightly startled. She didn't expect Miss Xu to acquiesce to them without questioning her too much. She was really brave.
There was no peace in the capital during these days. Unexpectedly, the person who colluded with the Japanese was the eldest princess's consort, the emperor's personal military governor.
The Emperor Long Yan was furious and ordered the Procuratorate of the Criminal Department of Zongzheng Temple and Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly. Officials who had contact with the Su family were all frightened. The charge of collaborating with the enemy and conspiring to rebel was not a trivial matter. Not only that, the Changzhou General Soldier was arrested.
He is also a disciple of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family is eager to get rid of this matter.
Fortunately, Xue Chen, the commander-in-chief of Quanzhou, led his men to win the battle and completely eliminate external troubles. This way, the court could calmly organize its internal affairs. Unexpectedly, Su Wan's case had not yet been investigated clearly, and news came that there were still Su Wan remnants in Changzhou.
, this is just the rest of the gang, after a long search it turned out to be Master Huijing.
Master Huijing once prayed for the Queen Mother in the palace, but suddenly he became a remnant.
The housekeeper was thinking about it when she heard a voice coming from the carriage: "Mommy, how is Jingzhong doing now? Has the eldest princess's consort confessed her crime? What about the eldest princess?"
The housekeeper immediately said: "Princess Huayang is naturally very sad. After returning from Changzhou, she has been busy going in and out of the princess's house to take charge of the overall situation. After all, they have been married for many years. Su Wan is usually gentle and elegant, but I really didn't notice that he was harboring evil intentions.
, it’s pitiful that the eldest princess has been deceived by him for so many years.”
Xu Qinghuan continued: "Has the eldest princess Huayang entered the palace these days?"
"It's just that when I first returned to Beijing, I reported the matter to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and then I couldn't escape from it," said the housekeeper. "The eldest princess was implicated by the Prince Consort, and I'm afraid she won't be able to go in and out of the palace casually until the case is found out.
"
This is inevitable.
If the eldest princess had not appeared in Changzhou to help the court catch Su Wan, I am afraid that she would have been placed under house arrest by Zongzheng Temple, and the husband and wife were one. Su Wan had been able to move around in the past few years because of the name of the eldest princess's consort. If something happened to Su Wan, the elder
Of course, the princess will also be jealous.
"Miss," the housekeeper said, "there is a post house in front of you, how about we go there and have a rest?"
Xu Qinghuan said: "Okay, then I'll ask grandma to make arrangements." She also happened to get out of the car to see who was coming.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the post house. Xu Qinghuan stepped out of the carriage and saw several servants wearing brown half-armor jackets standing outside the carriage. Most of them were housekeeper mothers in their thirties. A few people stood there.
Look at the eyes, nose and heart, very disciplined.
The head steward's mother, with a bun on her head and a respectful smile on her face, stepped forward to help Xu Qinghuan: "Miss Xu, my servant Wei will serve you."
Mother Wei asked people to clean up the post house and asked Xu Qinghuan to go into the house and sit down. Then she took the letter from Princess Huayang from her waist and handed it to Xu Qinghuan: "Miss, please read it."
Xu Qinghuan took the letter and opened it. There were only a few words in the letter: "I heard that the Changzhou case has been resolved. I expected that Miss Xu will return to Beijing recently. I am afraid that this investigation will involve too much and there will be unrest on the road. The Queen Mother is responsible for this."
I am anxious and have ordered me to send someone to pick up the eldest lady. I hope the journey will be smooth."
The final signature is: Huayang.
It is also stamped with the private seal of Princess Huayang.
Mother Wei smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager and the eldest princess miss the eldest daughter very much, and the servants will serve them wholeheartedly. They only hope that after returning to the capital, the eldest daughter will say a few kind words to the servants in front of the empress dowager and the eldest princess.
"
After Mother Wei said this, she looked at the guards in the yard: "These people are also from the eldest princess's house, just in case there are changes on the road. Although they are from the eldest princess's house, the eldest princess has something to say first. These people are all arranged by Miss Xu.
."
Xu Qinghuan looked at Uncle Lei, who nodded.
Mother Wei and others took out snacks and served tea before leaving the house.
Xu Qingan and Zhang Zhenren also entered the door.
Zhang Zhenren said: "The guards outside are very obedient. They just guard the surroundings and have no intention of getting close to the carriage. The eldest lady is still surrounded by our people, and there are not many of them. Even if they have a plan, they will not succeed.
."
Yong Ye had been standing at the door. Although he kept silent, he was paying attention to every move of the guards.
Xu Qing'an asked: "Is it really the eldest princess Huayang sent to protect my sister?"
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "It should be the Queen Mother." Princess Huayang made it very clear in her letter that all this was under the instruction of the Queen Mother.
Why is the Queen Mother so concerned about her?
After the Changzhou case, both the Queen Mother and the Emperor had their own losses. The Zhang family lost Zhang Yucong, but Su Wan, whom the Emperor had always trusted, had second thoughts.
Naturally, Changzhou will not let the Zhang family get involved again. After this battle, the emperor should have more trust in the Anyi Marquis Mansion, and maybe he will put his father to good use in the future, but his father has always been opposed to the Zhang family.
The Empress Dowager's move was to win over the Anyi Hou Mansion.
Today is not what it used to be. The Zhang family cannot make enemies again and again, otherwise it will be detrimental to them. Even if it is not possible, it is meant to warn her.
Xu Qinghuan thought of Huijing's case.
Maybe the Queen Mother didn't want her to continue investigating the case, so everything ended here and everyone was happy.
is that so?
What if she refuses?
Xu Qinghuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea was sweet and refreshing. It was obviously the spring tea from Xingong this year.
In her previous life, she also drank tea like this in Cining Palace.
"Keep on going, so as not to miss Sutou." Xu Qinghuan stood up.
Mother Wei immediately stepped forward to serve.
Xu Qinghuan said softly: "I'm sorry for bothering you, Mom."
"What are you talking about," Mother Wei said with a smile, "It is my blessing to serve you. The eldest lady is smart and smart, and her reputation has spread throughout the capital. She will be extremely valuable in the future. I only hope that you can give me some advice in the future, my slave.
I have benefited a lot in my life.”
Xu Qinghuan said nothing and turned around and walked towards the carriage.
The convoy continued to move forward.
Beijing, inside Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother looked at the female official who had planted the dendrobium flowers and said calmly: "Take them down!"
The female officer responded and immediately bowed her head and left.
The Queen Mother rubbed the jade handle in her hand: "If you do the math, those people should have seen Mrs. Xu, right?"
The female official said: "It should be almost done, but will Mrs. Xu understand what the Queen Mother means?"
"Such a smart person knows everything in his heart." The Queen Mother raised her eyes, "The Ai family really didn't expect that it would be such a little girl who saved the Anyi Marquis Mansion."
Although An Yihou was still above the court, he was no longer what he used to be. When she led the troops to leave the capital, she still felt that An Yihou was in danger and that the Xu family might undergo great changes.
I really didn't expect that Changzhou not only won the battle, but also captured Su Wan. It seems that Zhang Yucong was not a loss in their hands.
The Queen Mother continued: "Now An Yihou also needs to think about whether he wants to continue to be an enemy of the Zhang family. After all, the Zhang family is the mother's family of the Ai family. The Ai family usually needs someone to restrain them, but at a critical moment, they still need to be restrained."
To protect them.
The emperor has gone through these things and needs to hold the power in his hands. The Zhang family's road may not be so easy, but if there is more help, it will be completely different."
The Queen Mother said as she stood up and walked towards the window: "The Ai family heard that Song Chengxuan, who had made great achievements, wanted to marry the Anyihou Mansion. It seemed like a good marriage, but when I thought about it carefully, it was not appropriate for the Anyihou Mansion.
They are nobles, and Song Chengxuan is about to become a new noble. Both families are military generals, so it might not be a good idea to gather together in one place.
The emperor really doubts that Song Chengxuan will give up his own future just for this family relationship."
After saying this, the Queen Mother ordered the female officials: "Send the rewards from the Ai family to the Xu family! Let the Anyi Marquis Mansion know that if they follow the path of the Ai family, they will only become richer and more prosperous in the future.
What's more, the Ai family really likes that little girl Xu Qinghuan."
