Wishful Things

She had heard about it on the way.

I didn't expect that what I planned to ask Uncle Zhu to inquire about, happened today on the way the eldest princess returned from the palace——

"girl."

Zhu Xiu soon came over.

"When Princess Jingrong was driving through Xiyi Street today, she was stopped by a drunk and made rude remarks. I want Uncle Zhu to check the whereabouts of this person. After finding this person, there is no need to show up, and there is no need to Report to the officer in a hurry, just keep a close eye on it for a while—”

Even though she can't think of the possible real connection between this matter and the eldest princess's death, but the matter is now at hand, so let's be more careful.

As for unintentionally handing over the person to the government - when this incident happened in her last life, she was not in the capital, and only heard that this person died in an accident. In order to find out the truth that she wants to confirm, it is not appropriate to go too early Disrupt it all, so that in the end there is no way to check.

Zhu Xiu responded positively.

"By the way, this happened on Xiyi Street. You can find Miss Xu secretly, and ask her or the shop assistant if they have seen the man's face clearly—"

At this time, there must be different opinions on this matter outside, and many things have changed when they are passed around. It is undoubtedly a waste of time to ask the wrong clues and find the wrong person.

"Yes, this subordinate will take people there."

At the same moment, Han Yan, the commander of the police guard, entered the palace to face the saint.

In the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Qingming's eyes could not help but sink slightly after hearing what happened on Xiyi Street.

"Dare to humiliate the Eldest Princess by saying something in the street, this Jia Junzhi is so courageous—"

It's not that he hasn't heard Han Yan talk about this person's return to Beijing before.

However, it was heard that the Xiangning Bofu had never paid any attention to this person, and recently even intended to expel this person from Beijing, but the actions of the Bofu were too unfavorable.

"Now the government is searching around the city to find the whereabouts of this person." Han Yan asked for instructions: "This person is not weak, I wonder if I need to cooperate with the government secretly so that this person can be arrested as soon as possible."

Emperor Qingming nodded slightly.

"It's okay, catch it earlier, so that Jing Rong can feel at ease earlier."

"Yes, I obey."

"but--"

Emperor Qingming thought of something, his eyes moved slightly, and he said: "After you find someone, there is no need to take the trouble to send him to the government, lest he say anything that would damage your reputation in public."

Han Yan was slightly taken aback.

This kind of thinking is useful to others, but it seems meaningless to... the eldest princess who has no reputation at all, right?

But His Majesty's orders, he only had to follow the truth.

Don't ask too many questions when things happen, that's the attitude that a police officer should have.

"Yes, this minister will definitely do a better job."

Emperor Qingming smiled inexplicably, looked at his confidant, and said, "It doesn't matter if it's clean or not, there's no need to be so troublesome."

Just now he suddenly thought, this incident happened so coincidentally and suddenly, could it be that God knew that he was hesitant to make up his mind, so he gave him a reminder and a chance?

Han Yan was a little puzzled.

But it's just a response.

"Weichen made a note of it."

"Go, it's best to do it before the government finds him." Emperor Qingming ordered.

"Yes, I will retire."

Han Yan quickly withdrew from the imperial study.

Emperor Qingming sat behind the dragon case, with a trace of solemnity hidden in his eyes.

If it was possible, he really didn't want to go that far with Jing Rong.

He only has this one sister...

Before his mother passed away, she held his hand and told him to take good care of his only sister.

Ding Jing is his own younger brother, but the fault is that he has the military power in his hands, and has secret contacts with the King of Yan. In order to stabilize the situation, he had no choice but to set up that trap at the Queen's birthday banquet—it was just that plan Due to the fate of the prince, it was not able to be carried out smoothly to the end.

Ke Jingrong is different after all.

She is just a weak woman, without that incident, her existence would not be any threat at all.

If he guessed wrong, it would be equivalent to killing his own sister by mistake.

He is not really a cold-blooded and ruthless person, but in this position, he has to think more about many things than ordinary people...

Even this younger sister, the closest elder brother since childhood, is not him at all.

The thorn in my heart was aching, and the uneasiness brought about by the speculation that had been lingering in my heart for many years was suppressed but resurfaced again.

Emperor Qingming slowly clenched his fingers.

...

In the evening, the town government.

Floating clouds pass by the bright moon, the cool breeze passes through the corridor, and the aroma of wine and vegetables in the dining room is overflowing.

The Xu family was all there at this time, and the meal was almost finished. The drunk old man stood up while leaning on the edge of the table, and patted the shoulder of the second son Xu Yun, who was also drunk, with his big hand.

"Father is too lazy to say anything more, and I won't care about you in the future, just do whatever you want..."

Xu Jin looked at his second brother's shoulder sympathetically.

My father probably got Sha after taking these few shots...

"Hurry up and ask someone to help grandfather go back to rest, remember to bring some hangover soup over." Xu Mingyi said to Uncle Yun beside him.

Uncle Yun responded, and immediately called two servants to come in, one on the left and one on the right, helping the old man to leave.

Choi shook her head helplessly.

After a good meal, as soon as the second uncle's marriage was mentioned, the father and son drank a lot...

"Qinghu, it's not that big brother said you, why you don't want to start a family at this age? If you really have any thoughts, you can speak them out, let's discuss it together."

Xu Jin, who was full of food, leaned back in the chair and squinted his eyes slightly. This scene fell on Xu Mingshi's eyes, and he felt very much like the lazy big orange cat he saw in the drawing book.

"Father promised to let me do whatever I want, so don't worry about me, brother." Xu Yun drank the tea served by his servant, and seemed to be more sober.

Xu Jin squinted at his younger brother.

Follow your heart?

Based on the strength of his father's slaps on his shoulder just now, whether he was telling him to do whatever he wanted or some kind of hidden threat, did the second brother really have no idea?

Xu Jin shook his head helplessly.

"Just pretend to be stupid."

Xu Yun stood up noncommittal, and said as if he was not drunk: "Brother knows me, and I can do everything else I should do, but this thing is really against my will..."

Seeing the back of his brother staggering away, Xu Jin couldn't help frowning.

Do everything else that needs to be done?

How does a person who can't even get up every day after the cold weather have the face to say this?

"It's been so many years. Since he really doesn't want to talk about it, why do you have to break the casserole and ask the bottom line." Cui Shi said to her husband from the side. She had already given up any hope for the second uncle to get married.

However, as soon as she finished her persuasion, she saw her husband's eyes widen slightly and he sat up straighter.

--how?

Choi looked at him suspiciously.

"By the way, go and ask if there is any fresh mutton in the kitchen. If so, quickly cook me a bowl of casserole." Xu Jin ordered to the maid beside him.

...?

Everyone around was at a loss for a moment.

Can it still be like this?

good night~
