Chapter 645 Outer room
In the main courtyard of Marquis Wu'an's mansion, Mrs. Tai was anxiously waiting for Mrs. Wu'anhou.
Entering the main hall, Mrs. Marquis Wu'an staggered to her mother-in-law, saluted first, and before she got up, Mrs. Tai asked anxiously, "You went to see the princess? What did she say?"
Madam Wu Anhou would not tell her mother-in-law what Xie Zhiwei said. Firstly, her daughter is thanks to Xie Zhiwei. If not, she would be in the distant country of Lou now. Or, she disapproves of the Marquis of Wu'an's involvement in the royal family's seizure of the heir apparent.
The Marquis of Wu'an Mansion has always wanted to compete with the Xie family, imagining that the Xie family has been a family for hundreds of years, but haven't you seen the Cui family and the Lu family? A daughter marrying into the royal family will only make the family collapse faster.
"The daughter-in-law met the princess, but the princess was very busy, and the daughter-in-law didn't have time to say anything to the princess. This time, the eighth prince didn't go back to the palace with the empress dowager. It must be inappropriate for children to travel long distances. The empress dowager Leave the Eighth Prince in Mount Wutai."
Mrs. Tai just felt dizzy for a while. She wanted to scold the empress dowager, but she didn't dare. She closed her eyes and held back her anger and said, "Sooner or later, this family will be handed over to Yunci. Do you just want to bring this family to a higher level before you die? Since you don't care about everything, why am I struggling?"
Madam Hou got up and knelt on the ground without speaking. She didn't need Madam Tai to struggle. It would be great if the Cao family could hide their strength and bide their time.
"Pass a message to the palace, I want to enter the palace to meet the queen."
After Mrs. Tai left, Mrs. Hou got up from the ground, her legs were weak, and she came out of the main courtyard, just in time to see her daughter Cao Yunhua approaching, she grabbed her daughter, "Go and tell your brother, tell your brother to leave the capital as soon as possible! "
"Mother, is something wrong?"
Mrs. Min was so anxious that she couldn't speak. She looked around, only her confidant nanny followed her, she hurriedly said to her daughter, "Don't ask, go and tell your brother, let him go out of Beijing, he should always There are a few acquaintances, no matter who you go to, let him go out of Beijing!"
In fact, the Min family really wanted to say that it would be the best if she could defect to Prince Chen, but she still wanted her son to make a choice as to who was more reliable to defect to.
Cao Yunhua saw his mother's face was pale, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly ran out, but was stopped by Mrs. Min, and told him, "Tell him, it's my intention, you bring this to your brother!"
Mr. Min took out a purse from his bosom, which contained one or two thousand taels of silver bills, and handed it to Yunhua, "Let your brother leave the city overnight."
Cao Yunhua also panicked. She had just arrived at her brother's yard when she saw Cao Yunci coming back from outside.
Seeing his sister come to the front yard, Cao Yunci was also surprised, "What happened?"
"Brother, I want to ask you something!"
Cao Yunhua dragged Cao Yunci into the house, and there was no one around, so she took out the purse from her mother and handed it to her brother, "Mother told you to leave overnight, leave the capital, go out of the city, brother, who are you going to join? "
Cao Yunhua thought for a while, "His Royal Highness, the eldest princess and the third princess have gone to Yunnan, brother, will you go to Yunnan? Xu Liang and Chu Yining have made military exploits in Xijiang, brother, will you go to Xijiang?"
Cao Yunci once wanted to go to Xijiang very much, but his family refused to let him go. He is the only real son of the Hou Mansion. If something goes wrong, he will not inherit the title in the future.
Mother has always regarded the title of title as very important. After all, it is where her mother lives and lives. In the future, if my younger sister is out of the cabinet, he can also support her if he is a Marquis.
"I'm leaving, what about you?" Cao Yunci held his purse, he didn't know what happened, but he knew that his aunt always wanted the eighth prince to be the prince.
Cao Yunhua shook his head, "Don't worry about us, my mother and I are female family members after all, brother, you can go!"
Cao Yunhua pushed Cao Yunci, "If you don't leave, mother will be very disturbed. For mother's sake, you should leave Beijing too!"
Cao Yunci still wanted to go back to the backyard to bid farewell to his mother, but Cao Yunhua kicked him out, "If the Hou Mansion is safe and sound, and you come back in the future, mother and son may meet each other, but if not, brother, with you outside, My mother and I can still have a little thought in our hearts, no matter how difficult it is, there will be hope."
Cao Yunci carried a package on his back, knelt in the courtyard, bowed three times towards the north, and rushed out while the city gate was still open.
The side hall to the west of Linde Hall was originally a Meiwu, and a large piece of wintersweet was planted in the north, which is fragrant every season.
Ever since the emperor fell ill, he never came to Meiwu to enjoy the plum blossoms. Two days ago, the emperor ordered Meiwu to be cleaned up and used as a study. Although there are no hanging flower buds, it is full of greenery, which is pleasing to the eye.
Lu Yan stood under the steps of Meiwu, and Mi Tuan came forward and said in a low voice, "Master, the son of the Marquis of Wu'an just left the city, and Mrs. Tai also just left the palace."
Lu Yan glanced back slightly, but didn't hear any movement inside, and Mi Tuan still wanted to say, he raised his hand and made a gesture, then raised his foot and walked out.
In the East Factory, guards were increased on both sides of the long tunnel leading to the imperial prison. The dim lights on the walls could not illuminate the path under his feet. Mi Tuan walked in front of Lu Yan's left hand with a glazed lamp. It made his feet white.
Hong Jizhong no longer had a human figure, curled up in the corner like a dead dog, he opened his eyes when he heard the movement, his eyes were in a panic, he could no longer find the honor and calmness of the former Yiwuhou, he panicked Like a mouse.
His next door is now hanging Han Jinyi, and Dongchang didn't punish Han Jinyi before he passed the trial.
Han Jinyi sat against the wall, with his hands in his sleeves, looking calm, and didn't lift his eyelids when he heard the movement.
Standing in front of the cell door, Lu Yan gently stroked the dirty, blood-stained gate with his slender, white fingers, and said, "Master, Nancaochang Lane on Chenzhoumennei Street, There is a Hucheng family in it, and there is a twelve-year-old boy under his knees, what is the relationship with the Duke?"
Han Jinyi suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes. He knew that Dongchang was pervasive. Unexpectedly, he was found by Dongchang because he was so cautious. "Lu Yan, what do you want to do?"
"Twelve years old, although I am a bit older, but it is not impossible to enter the palace to serve the emperor, let's see how the Duke of the country will explain it!"
"There are so many people, isn't it enough?" Han Jinyi's voice subconsciously dropped an octave.
"When I entered the palace, I was younger than this child, and almost died. For the sake of the Duke's care for me for so many years, I will find a seasoned master to act for your son... "
