Shu Blossoms

Yang Jing didn't expect that he was a fool in his father's eyes, and he was depressed for a while, only hoping that Yang Fan's punishment would change Yang Zongzhou's feelings towards him these days.

But he didn't have a good solution at the moment, thinking of Zheng Heng, he planned to go out of the city tomorrow to find him a solution.

At this time, Liu Jingming and Shen Shaohan, who had disappeared for two days, walked into the city at sunset in a little embarrassment, wearing commoner clothes and leading mules and horses.

There were still many people outside the thatched shed not far from the city gate waiting to receive food. The two looked at each other and stopped an old man who had received food to ask, "Is there any food in the city?"

"The Dalang of the Yang family has released rations. Each family can receive two days of rations. Go quickly, and you won't be able to receive them any later!"

They walked all the way and found that there were many soldiers in light armor guarding the side, so no one could make trouble.

"It seems that she has done it!" Liu Jingming couldn't help sighing seeing the smiles on the faces of the people passing by.

"Whether the common people can have food every day depends on us!" Shen Shaohan's tone was a little dignified. Yang Zongzhou's family has been in Hongdu County for many years, and they have already been the local emperors here. It may not be easy to change this situation in just a few days.

Their top priority now is to find a safe place to stay and plan for the long term.

According to the previous agreement, they disguised themselves and went to several nearby villages to inquire about it, while Liu Xiang divided them into two groups, one way to attract pursuers, and the other way was sent by Zheng Wei to sneak back to Qingling quietly to get the official bank hidden by Wei Liushi.

At first they postponed their entry to the city to give Princess Danyang two days, but they didn't expect that not only was their time wasted, but they would also have unexpected gains.

They couldn't help but lament the saying, "There is no place to find iron filings, and it takes no effort to get them." They met a family in a village twenty miles away from Hongdu City. According to the old man, he had been working as his blacksmith's son in the city for several months and had not returned home.

They felt strange in their hearts, and after careful questioning, they found that the disappearance of the old man's son was probably the same as that of Wei Ziqian.

What made them even more terrified was that several young people in the village were missing together.

Shen Shaohan felt that they were beginning to gradually understand the truth behind the fog, but the truth was like a bottomless quagmire that could drown them.

Therefore, they became more and more low-key and cautious along the way, hoping to find Princess Danyang and General Zheng, and only with their help can the case move forward!
At this time they finally entered the city, and now they are going to wait in the inn that they had made an appointment with Liu Xiang in advance.Their boys had already been waiting here with their bags.

When they arrived at the inn, they heard that Liu Xiang and the others hadn't come back yet, so they ate something hastily to wrap their stomachs, took a hot bath and fell asleep.

Those who are worried and frightened these days, they have to sleep with their eyes half-opened, they are really exhausted.

What they didn't know was that Zheng Wei had quietly returned to the Governor's Mansion at this time, she said she was not sick these days, it was Chunran and Caiyi who were dealing with everything outside, she felt that if she didn't show up again, others should be suspicious.

At this time, the masters of the governor's mansion were eating, and the servants were concentrated in the front yard and the back house, but the yard where Zheng Wei lived temporarily, because Chunran said that the county chief was resting and didn't like to be disturbed, so it was relatively deserted.

Zheng Wei was the same as when she went out, walking back from that deserted path, this time was also when the guards in the mansion were changing, so her journey was relatively smooth.

Passing by the desolate courtyard where Wei Liu's family was once hidden again, she walked there again with a slight thought, only to find that the place had been locked with a copper lock.

The people hiding in the yard are gone, why should it be locked? Could it be that there are secrets inside?
Zheng Wei was curious in her heart, and couldn't help but want to go in to find out, but the time for the guards to change was about to pass, and it would be very difficult for her to return to her residence quietly by then!

In the end, she planned to go back to her residence first, and wait until late at night to find another chance.

When she came in through the window, Caiyi and Chunran in the room were startled.When they heard the movement, they ran out quickly and saw that it was Zheng Wei, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is there anything unusual these two days?" She asked, then saw the food on the table, walked over and asked, "Is there any food left?"

Chunran saw that she hadn't finished her meal, so she hurriedly said, "Yes, this is your food!"

Then he said to Caiyi: "Quickly serve the Princess and wash her hands."

Caiyi responded happily, and soon came back with a copper basin and a cloth towel, "Princess, you are back, and my maidservant and Sister Chunran can rest assured! You don't know, we are worried these days!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Zheng Wei sincerely comforted them seeing their relief.

Chunran came over to serve Zheng Wei dishes, cast a reproachful look at Caiyi, and smiled back to her previous question, "Although Mrs. Yang hasn't come in person for the past two days, she will send her servants over every day to say hello, and she also sent a lot of things. She said she was thanking the Princess for sending those clothes, but Caiyi and I were able to prevaricate them. However, yesterday the servant shouted that she wanted to ask the doctor to take the princess's pulse. I didn't expect that today, everyone in the front yard seems to be in danger, and no one came."

Zheng Wei knew the reason, she just pursed her lips slightly and did not explain, she just said: "I really don't want to be sick again, but some people are not convenient to see, tomorrow spring I will prepare two gifts and send them to the old lady and Mrs Yang's courtyard, just to say thank you for the troubles these days, the princess is almost ready to take care of her. If the female relatives come to visit again, just let them in, and the men in the front yard will all decline."

After Chunran and Caiyi waited for Zheng Wei to fall asleep, they retreated lightly. Just as they stepped out of the inner room, they heard a slight snore inside through the screen.

Chunran made a gesture of silence, and the two left quickly.

"I don't know where the princess has been these past two days, but I'm so tired!" Caiyi's tone was full of curiosity.

Chunran raised her eyes to look at her, and reminded her intentionally: "Danyang Princess is not like an ordinary house girl. If you want to follow around in the future, you must learn to restrain your mind. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't listen to what you shouldn't listen, no."

"Don't say what you shouldn't say!" Caiyi took the words, and muttered: "How can I not know this, but when I go back to the palace in the future, if the Empress Empress asks, how should we answer it!"

Chun Ran fell into deep thought, put down the tray in her hand for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Naturally, it is the truth. The princess has been ill these days, and the empress will love the princess even more if she knows about it!"

After Caiyi was surprised, she nodded in response, "Listen to you!"

At the beginning of Yin, Zheng Wei quietly got up from the couch, fully dressed and went out through the window again, the vigilant Chunran looked at the window lattice, then at the sleeping Caiyi, and slowly lay back.

Zheng Wei came to that courtyard again, and looked up to see that the walls of this courtyard were not low, and the surroundings were very empty, without anything to draw on, which made her face a difficult situation.

Suddenly she remembered something, pulled out the hairpin on her head, recalled the method Liao Wennan taught her, inserted it into the copper lock, and tried to shake it lightly, until she heard a crisp sound, Zheng Wei was overjoyed, and the copper lock was opened.
