Chapter 89

Xiao Zhige has no position to refuse both public and private affairs.

He just worried that after he went to Yuzhou, the prince would take the opportunity to do harm to an Changqing. Since the discovery of the dead woman in the East Palace, Xiao Zhige has speeded up his plan. In the past, he was able to come step by step on the premise that the prince was still a normal person. But now he found that the prince was like a mad dog hiding in a dark corner, waiting for an opportunity to bite them all the time. It was not fatal, but disgusting.

These pickles, he a person disgust enough, but don't want to let an Changqing also involved. But now he is going to Yuzhou to investigate, some things must be informed to an Changqing, lest he is unprepared.

"This trip to Yuzhou is not necessarily a bad thing for me. The prince only thought that he could make me and the third brother pair up, and he would sit by and reap profits. But sooner or later, I'll take it into Yuzhou. Now it's just a step ahead of time. " Xiao Zhige said.

"When will we start? Do you want to follow the government's mediation?

When he returned to Beijing from Yanzhou, he took 300 elite escorts from the military camp. These elite were Xiao Zhige's direct line, and they were not poor in strength, but also loyal and reliable. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, an Changqing asked them to dress up as domestic slaves and ordinary guards. Now they are in charge of the defense of the palace.

Xiao Zhige said, "I'll leave early tomorrow morning. I'll send 100 people to Yuzhou secretly to help, just in case. The rest is for you. In addition, I asked the spies to pay attention to the changes in the East Palace and sent people to investigate the Yizhuang outside the city. If there is any news, the spies will report it to you directly. You can act according to the situation. "

An Changqing had never heard of Yizhuang outside the city. He looked up in surprise: "Yizhuang?"

Xiao Zhige coughed and said, "the pickle in the East Palace didn't mean to pollute your ears."

He told an Changqing the conjecture about the corpse of the east palace woman and the Yizhuang outside the city in detail, and told him: "when I'm away, you should take more precautions. If my conjecture is true, the crown prince can't look at it with ordinary people's eyes." This is a lunatic. I have to be alert.

An Changqing heard a goose bumps, he stroked his arm, to dispel the cold feeling, seriously said: "I know, I will be careful."

The next day, Xiao Zhige took the instruction from emperor Anqing, together with the officials of Dali temple and three hundred guards, and went out to Yuzhou.

This time, an Changqing didn't go to see him off. He just sent Wang Fugui to wait at the gate of the city. When people left the city, they came back to report to him.

Xiao Zhige left the city at Maoshi. An Changqing got the news and calculated the distance. It should be three days later when Xiao Zhige arrived in Yuzhou.

in Xiao Zhige's absence, an Changqing takes the brother and sister to the main room, and plays with them for a while after handling a daily business. Now the weather has warmed up, brother and sister both put on spring clothes, showing the small arms and legs as white and mellow as lotus nodes. The neck and wrist are also wearing gold collars and gold bracelets of the same style, and the gold bells on them will ring when they move.

as like as two peas and sisters, they are sitting on their beds. They are giggling with their hands and smiling at each other. They are staring at An Changqing with two pairs of eyes. Seeing this, an Changqing felt soft in her heart. She picked up her brother and sister and sat on his lap one by one.

Xiao Anzhu is very active. She has a lot of strength. She grabs an Changqing's skirt and is eager to get up. As soon as she raises her bottom, she is tugged by her brother on the side and squats down again. Unable to lie on his father's chest, Xiao Anzhu angrily "ah" a, look at the giggling brother, pursed his mouth and puffed up his cheek, "Ao" a rushed to chew on Xiao Anheng's face.

She just grew deciduous teeth for a short time, can't use force, gnawing for a long time, finally only paste Xiao an Heng a face saliva, but look at her own, even the face is angry red.

An Changqing and the two nannies were all laughing. Taking a handkerchief to wipe his son's face clean and pinching his daughter's chubby cheek, an Changqing muttered: "I've been so fierce since I was a child. It seems that I really follow your father."

No matter what he said, Xiao Anzhu's eyes were rolling, and two little fat hands hugged an Changqing's hands in a flattering way. This time, they couldn't chew their teeth, so they went up and smeared an Changqing's saliva.

during Xiao Zhige's absence, an Changqing spent more energy on his brother and sister, and found out half of the jade seals carved in Yanzhou before and continued to polish them. He was busy all day, but time slipped by quietly.

At the beginning of May, the Empress Dowager Zhao was going to Hongfa temple to worship the Buddha. When the peach blossoms were in full bloom at the foot of Hongfa temple, she called her close ministers, relatives and younger generation to accompany her. An Changqing is among them.

Among the three princes, Xiao Zhige went to Yuzhou. The third prince was imprisoned, and only the prince accompanied him. In addition to the prince, this time the eldest princess Xiao Youxi also came. All of them are valuable. Hongfa temple has been informed in advance. In the past few days, they do not receive visitors, only entertain them.

When they arrived at the temple, a Zhike monk took them to their respective monasteries. Empress Dowager Zhao believed in Buddhism. These days, when she was going to discuss Buddhism with the abbot, she did not restrain them. The rest of the people invited each other to enjoy peach blossom in the temple.

An Changqing also future and go out, long Princess then first sought to come over. She is still cool and noble, but an Changqing looks at her, and she is more clear than the last time she saw her. He did not have a bad impression of the eldest princess. After seeing the ceremony, he talked to her with a smile.The long princess's eyes were a little complicated. It seemed that she thought for a long time before she said, "how are you with Zhige?"

an Changqing should accompany her to the peach blossom forest in the temple

with that, she looked at the peach blossom in the distance and said in a soft voice, "that's good, that's good."

his eyes are clear though there is a trial in his words

the peach blossom forest is not small. They walked for a while before they met someone - the crown princess was coming up the other step with her maids. The air on the mountain is moist, and the moss on the green stone steps is slippery. She did not step on a steady, then slipped, with a exclamation, she subconsciously reached out to protect the stomach. Fortunately, the palace maid behind her helped her stabilize her body in time

compared with an Changqing, the eldest princess was much colder to her. After a few words of polite greetings, the two sides separated again

but these days, I have never heard the news that the crown princess is pregnant. The Crown Princess and the crown prince have been married for many years, but they have not been able to give birth to their own heirs. The two sons and two daughters under the crown prince's knees are all born of common people. Donggong's heir is related to the foundation of the country. If the crown princess is pregnant, it should be reported to the palace. It can't be without a word

is it not suitable to make it public when the month is small? An Changqing quickly vetoed the speculation. If so, neither the crown prince nor empress dowager Zhao will be accompanied this time

it's just the subconscious appearance of the crown princess. She really looks like a pregnant woman. If it had not been for an Changqing himself, he would not have been so sure. The crown princess was pregnant, but she kept it a secret. She even took the risk of following the empress and worshiping Buddha in the temple later. This is really weird everywhere

after thinking about it, he separated from the eldest princess and asked people to watch the princess secretly

*

The Empress Dowager fasts for seven days in Hongfa temple, and the rest of the people will also stay in the temple for seven days. A few days ago, the eldest princess often came to talk to him, but she was still at ease. Two days later, the eldest princess was called away by Empress Dowager Zhao, and he could not be quiet

the younger generation that empress dowager Zhao likes is naturally close to the prince and the Zhao family. And inviting him to dinner is mostly the intention of the prince. Although in the temple, most of the Prince did not dare to do anything in full view of the public, an Changqing kept his spirits up secretly and was on guard, not prepared to stay for a long time

the aristocratic childe pays attention to elegance. The banquet is set at the side of the stream in the peach blossom forest. The delicate little ones are scattered under the peach trees. The peach blossoms are burning and the river is clear, and the musicians and dancers are very attentive
