C373 Winter is coming

On this day, at Zhao Deji's assembly, the courtier took turns to face it. Finished, he returned to his study to read the imperial reports. The one on duty today was the Kanggong. And the one reading the imperial reports was Zhang Yingying. Zhang Yingying recited one sentence and immediately, she heard a secret letter from the Young Eunuch.

The secret letter was sent by the Empress Dowager Wei. When Zhao Deji heard that it was his birth mother, he immediately opened it himself. When he saw it, his face changed and he began to sweat profusely. Everyone was shocked to see him so flustered, but no one dared to ask what had happened.

Zhao Deji stood up, paced around as he said anxiously: "How could this be? How could this be? "

Zhang Yingying finally could not hold it in anymore and asked softly, "Shangguan Family, what is the matter?"

Zhao Deji passed the imperial report to her: "Look."

Zhang Yingying took it and quickly read it, then carefully read it again, her complexion turning pale white. So it turned out that the main gist of the letter was that Empress Dowager Wei only found out one thing when she reached Da Song's territory, and that Da Song had actually returned with a Princess Tianwei. And from what she knew, Princess Tianwei died a few years ago in Jinguo. The Princess Tianwei married a local Han Er. After she died, there were graves in the Five Kingdoms. Since the real Tianwei had already died, then this Tianwei must be an imposter right?

The question was, who was so bold as to pretend to be a princess?

Zhang Yingying was so scared that her face turned pale. This secret letter was related to the princess' life and the safety of Prince Consort Ma's family. When she married Zhao Deji, it was already after the great calamity at Jingkang. The princess had already been kidnapped, but she had never seen him before. Right now, the majority of the palace maids were new, so it was not strange that they could not recognize the princess, but Zhang Quwei, Kanggong and the other elders, could it be that they could not as well? Back then, when Tianwei had returned, they had not questioned her at all and had all assumed that she was the real princess.

Furthermore, since he was young, his relationship with the Tian Wei siblings had been pretty good with the Shangguan Family herself. Furthermore, when Tianwei left, she was already 15 or 16 years old. When she returned, she was also almost 20 years old. It was impossible for a person's appearance to completely change within a few years. How could he not even know his sister?

The more she thought about it, the more confused she felt. However, she didn't dare to make a sound.

Zhao Deji blocked and retreated, leaving only Zhang Yingying behind. Zhang Yingying was even more afraid in hherheart, afraid that if she did not answer properly, in front of the temperamental Zhao Deji, his fate would be to lose her favour at best and to cause his suspicion to fall into an unknowable despair. She secretly made up her mind to not express her views for the time being.

Zhao Deji frowned and muttered to himself, "Is Tianwei a fake princess? How could that be? Could it be that even I, too, do not recognize Tianwei? "

Zhang Yingying was unable to answer, but she did not dare not answer, only saying, "At that time, Old Palace Mistress should have recognized the princess …"

"But the empress dowager's letter clearly stated that the Princess Tianwei had long since died in a foreign land and that she had gone to pay her respects before the empress dowager returned. The empress dowager had known her since she was young, so how could she recognize the wrong person? "

Empress Dowager was right, it must be Tianwei's fault.

Zhang Yingying was terrified of this conclusion.

"Tianwei was rescued by Yue Pengju and his wife. She has a very deep relationship with Yue Pengju and the others … "

He paused, and Zhang Yingying could hear her own heartbeat. Yue Pengju's might shook the north and south, and he had repeatedly defeated the Golden Army s. She had long heard rumors of the Eunuch s in the palace. knew that Yue Pengju was about to achieve great victory, yet he was forced to withdraw. Naturally, she felt sympathy for Yue Pengju, but after hearing what Zhao Deji said, he did not dare to disobey him even a single bit. Zhao Deji, what kind of crime was this? Or perhaps he was already beginning to accuse Vivian of something?

Sure enough, she heard Zhao Deji say, "When the empress dowager didn't mention it, we had forgotten some details. Tiangwei was smart and lively when she was young, but she was weak and cowardly. But this' Tianwei ', who returned from Jinguo, was very quiet and didn't talk much. However, she became more cautious when handling things, and was very different from the past … "

Zhang Yingying thought in her heart, no matter who it was that experienced the kind of experience Jinguo had, their personality would also change a bit. How could she maintain the innocence of a young girl when she had gone through so many trials and tribulations back then?

Zhao Deji asked: "Could it be that this Tian Wei is really a fake princess?"

No matter how perverted Zhang Yingying was, she did not dare to say it out loud. She thought back to the many stories the Golden Man had spread to the Ying Tian back then, about how the Empress Dowager Wei was humiliated in the laundry and the spring palace paintings she had made when she was humiliated in the Empress Dowager Wei. She felt a chill down her spine. Suddenly, she understood that regardless of whether or not Tianwei was fake, Empress Dowager Wei would still kill her before she returned. Wasn't she afraid that her scandal in Jinguo would be exposed by her?

Because she thought of this matter and secretly observed Shangguan Family's face, she was so afraid that she couldn't say anything. He could only vaguely think, since Tian Wei was now Shangguan Family's only sibling, his only sister, Shangguan Family, was he really going to make a move?

She had completely lost control of herself and was in a state of complete chaos. Zhao Deji asked: "Zhang's wife, what has Tianwei been doing recently?"

"In the empress dowager's buddhist hall, pray for the Shangguan Family …"

"Oh, she's praying with Hua Rong …"

Zhang Yingying did not dare to reply. What would happen if Shangguan Family found out that Tian Wei had helped Hua Rong this time? Even though it was just a few words, who knows if it is a great sin in the eyes of the Emperor?

"Shangguan Family, the spirit of the empress dowager in heaven, she will definitely bless the prosperity of my Da Song, and protect the longevity of my Shangguan Family …" She could not help but bring out the dead Empress Dowager.

Zhao Deji seemed to have thought of the empress dowager's soul, and as expected, he no longer questioned Hua Rong's whereabouts. He only warned her, "Zhang's wife, go to the Buddhist Hall tomorrow and see what Tianwei and Hua Rong are doing. Perhaps, Zhen should not have let the two of them be together … "

"Chenqie obeys."

"You are not allowed to divulge any of this information. This was no small matter. They absolutely could not allow such a commotion to spread throughout the city. We will investigate and arrange for it. "

"Chenqie obeys."

Zhang Yingying kneeled down and saluted. Zhao Deji went to Xiao Liu's room in a panic. He had a habit: When she was in a bad mood, she liked OOXX. At this time, he naturally had to go to the most beautiful Xiao Liu to vent her anger. In his panic, Zhang Yingying had forgotten to remind him to stay in the "fast" period. Only after hearing his footsteps disappear did she stand up and quickly return to his own room. When she returned, she immediately told the palace maid to shut the door and fell onto the bed. Her limbs were sore, and her mind was in a mess.

Yue Pengju and his wife were going to die, Tian Wei was going to die, and Wan Wan, who had died a horrible death — These people originally did not have any friendly relationship with her, but she could not help but shiver when she saw her own fate from their bodies. The "Duke" she had been serving, had completely changed from a "Duke" she had hoped for, into a despicable, tyrannical, and despicable beast. His devil palm, which target should he aim for next?

Yue Pengju rushed home while carrying the wind and dust along the way.

His wife had sent word that he must not go back. But, Zhang Xian had gone to jail, Yu Peng, Sun Ge and the others had gone to jail, how could he sit still and do nothing? If he didn't go back, how many people would be implicated by the innocent?

He rushed back like a madman, thinking, his wife and son, would something happen to them? If he could send his wife and son out this time, he had to fulfill a wish no matter what. He could die, but how could his wife and children die?

He only brought Ma Chao and a few other personal guards with him. When he just arrived at Yu Hang's territory, it was already dusk, the sky was dark, and there were very few people on the road. Riding on a horse, one person immediately brushed past him. Yue Pengju extended his hand, and something was already in his hand. This person was wearing a large straw hat and his face could not be seen. He did not know his identity, so Yue Pengju did not pursue any further. When he opened it, there were only a few words written inside: "You cannot return to the capital, quickly go, your family will think of ways to reunite with your wife and children." He immediately understood that it was because of Han Zhongliang's previous rescue this time around.

He immediately destroyed the slip of paper and let out a long sigh. Although Han Zhongliang took the risk and showed good intentions, how could he not return to the capital? Even if he could save his wife and children, what about Yu Pengsunge? Where's Zhang Xian?

On the way, he saw a horse in front of him. As he urged the horse forward, he heard the faint sound of a woman crying. He was stunned. He reined his horse, and before he could open his mouth, the curtain of the carriage was opened. He shouted in shock, "Sis GaoSi!"

The person who came was Sis GaoSi, with his two children. Originally, when she found out that Zhang Xian had been captured and brought to Jail Temple Prison, she had no choice but to travel all the way to the capital. Even though she knew that it would not help her husband, she still came to meet him.

At this moment, when Yue Pengju saw Sis GaoSi, he could only feel his head buzzing. The two children were already seven or eight years old, and when they saw Yue Pengju, they shouted for him.

When the carriage stopped, Sis GaoSi was already in tears. She wanted to get off the carriage, but Yue Pengju quickly stopped her: "This place is not a place to talk. Sis GaoSi, we need to go back to Lin An …"

Sis GaoSi wiped her tears. As a woman, her husband being captured was completely out of place, and now that she had met Yue Pengju, it was as if she had seen her savior from the heavens. She could only listen to his arrangements and rush over to Lin An.

Yue Pengju's blood was boiling. He wanted to return home immediately so he could ride on the horses and whip the horses. The cold wind blew past his ears like a knife piercing, he realized that winter had arrived, this cruel and severe winter had arrived!

Just after he received Fourth Prince's promise to write "Qin Gui as the Prime Minister" onto Song Jin's contract, the next day, Wang Junhua went to the palace to learn of the news. The ones receiving her were Wu Jinnu and the Xiao Liu. After a brief interlude, Wang Junhua came to the Warm Pavilion to meet Zhao Deji privately. She was afraid that once Yue Pengju died, he would try to forcefully take Hua Rong over. Wouldn't it be as difficult as ascending to the sky if he were to kill Hua Rong now?

Along the way, Wang Junhua saw Zhang Quwei guiding the way and laughed evasively, asking softly: "Officer Zhang, is there any news?"

Zhang Quwei was Qin Gui's best friend and whispered, "If our family can find out the truth, there will be a day when Shangguan Family does not even need to use Wang Jixian.

Wang Junhua was shocked: "Who's the woman? Who is the physician? "

"That day, the one who deserves to be called Kang Qi." You know, he and his family have always been at odds. These few days, the Shangguan Family has been very fond of him … "

Wang Junhua walked into the palace all year long, but he was still unable to rope the Kanggong in completely. She hated the Kanggong, but she couldn't think of any way to drive him out of the palace.

Wang Junhua still wanted to ask more, but the pavilion had already arrived, so Zhang Quwei stopped and opened the door long ago. Wang Junhua walked straight in. Zhao Deji was playing with a bunch of new paper sticks that had paid tribute to him. Wang Junhua kneeled down: "Chenqie greets Shangguan Family."
