Step on a branch

Chapter 243 Can't Hesitant
Reasonable.

Of course Eunuch Zhang would not refuse, let alone think too much, sat down as he said, took tea from Caiwei, and took a rest.

Mrs. Yongning Hou pouted at Ji Shi, and urged: "After the arrangements are made, come in and choose clothes for me. I haven't entered the palace for a long time, so I can't be rude."

Ji agreed.

After going out and explaining a few words to Nanny Wang, she hurried back to the house and went all the way to the bedroom.

Going around the screen, Ji took a closer look, and sure enough, there was no smile left on the old lady's face, she was extremely dignified.

"Old lady," Ji stepped forward, lowered her voice, and said, "What do you mean by Concubine Shu? Why do I listen, it's weird."

The eldest girl told her that Concubine Shu is her own.

Will your own people bring it along to beg for snacks?
In the royal kitchen, there is nothing delicious!

Besides, my cook and my family know that the lily cake in Yongning Hou Mansion is just that.

Even if everyone has different tastes, the big girl likes the bean paste cake, not the lily cake. When talking about family life with the empress, she must praise the bean paste cake.

Mrs. Hou also knew that this daughter-in-law was not good at this kind of twists and turns, and she could hear the strangeness, which showed that she had already cheered up.

"Let me ask you," Mrs. Hou pointed her, "How did your empress know that A Luan won't be free today?"

Ji Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then, with a flash of inspiration, he suddenly had an idea.

"The people who stared at our mansion reported to the emperor earlier," Ji nodded, "Aunt Jin came over, and she was in the carriage of Duke Anguo's mansion. When the carriage left, the concierge greeted him. When people see it, they know that our eldest girl has gone to the Duke's mansion. If the emperor knows, the empress will know."

Mrs. Hou nodded, and said: "There are also schedules for entering and leaving the palace. The emperor will know after asking that the second prince and concubine are also in the An Guogong's mansion."

Ji's heart skipped a beat when he heard it.

"If you have no other plans, the Empress Dowager just invited me to say a few words about family matters, and Concubine Shu will not hint at it." Madam Hou's eyes were deep and sharp.

Ji Shi agrees very much.

The empress must have seen the clue, so...

"It's just a hint," Ji sighed, "If there is someone who understands, I don't have to guess."

Mrs. Hou snorted and laughed: "It's rare to be able to catch up with a hint."

Think about it too.

The father-in-law Zhang came from the Palace of Compassion and Concubine Shu, if Concubine Shu could send him a message, he must be in front of the Empress Dowager right now.

How can the empress have a chance to order a trustworthy one?

Even if she seized the opportunity to avoid her eyes, and waited for her own person to rush to the Yongning Hou Mansion, she had already entered the palace with Zhang Gonggong.

It was a step too late, and if I made it clear again, it would only make the little daughter-in-law anxious.

"It's just a guess," Mrs. Hou said, "The emperor knew that Aluan had gone to Anguo Gong's mansion before the empress dowager called me into the palace.

There must be something planned in the palace, otherwise, the empress dowager wouldn't bother to ask me to chat about it.

It's not a good time to go, you should be more active in the mansion, if A Luan comes back, you can discuss it more. "

Ji Shi nodded, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Hearing the last title, a question kept turning in my head.

What if the eldest girl hasn't come back for a long time?
What if the old lady didn't come back after entering the palace?
This……

Madam Hou explained the words while changing her clothes for entering the palace.

Ji came back to her senses, helped the old lady change her clothes, and combed her hair quickly.

In the yard outside, there was a sound of footsteps.

Ji Shi heard it, and said in a low voice: "It should be the snacks."

Soon, the footsteps entered the house, but they didn't stop in the middle room, but passed through the second room and went straight to the bedroom.

Ji looked up, and the person who turned around from behind the screen was Nanny Wang.

Just after greeting Eunuch Zhang, the smile on Madam Wang's face was still there. She hurried to the dressing table and said in a low voice, "The person who was watching the mansion of An Guo came to report that he was an envoy from the palace." I sent two nuns over."

Ji covered her mouth and stared at Mrs. Hou with wide eyes.

That's it!
The "plan" that the empress noticed must be this!

"What a Yan Runming!" Mrs. Hou scolded everyone, calling out their names, "I have never been on a battlefield, and I know how to get rid of the tiger!"

Ji Shi clenched his fists.

The old lady is in the palace and doesn't know what's going on outside. Even if the eldest girl suffers in the Duke's mansion, she can't help her.

Once the emperor takes advantage of the government's situation to make trouble, can her Ji family withstand it?
In terms of momentum, she is no match for the old lady.

"How do they plan to plot against the eldest girl..." Ji muttered.

"It's hard to say." Madam Hou took a deep breath.

Qi to Qi, panic, of course not panic at all.

Marching and fighting, she has scouts outside Duke An's mansion, and spies in front of the empress dowager and the emperor. Even if she can't completely see through the enemy's intentions, she has already grasped all the movements.

She, Qin Dushi, has accumulated so many years, she is not a vegetarian!
"Compared with my old lady in art of war, they are far behind!" Mrs. Hou said.

Being so proud also gave Ji Shi countless confidence.

"You're right," Ji said, "Just go into the palace, I'll watch over you outside, you must concentrate and don't let go of any clues."

Her statement earned Madam Hou's veto.

A "no", made Ji stunned.

Mrs. Hou's eyes were sharp, and her tone was firm: "As previously discussed, quickly inform the princess and Dingguo's mansion, and we will also move at home. There is still a while before the city gate is closed. Don't startle the snake, go out of the city one after another."

Ji took a deep breath, and her teeth ached: "Then what should you and the eldest girl do? Do you want to wait for you to come back and see the situation?"

"We can't wait until then," Mrs. Hou knew the importance of timing, "Regardless of whether Aluan and I come back, before closing the gate of the city, you must all leave, and we will meet at Zhuangzi as we said earlier.

Be sure to pay attention to those eyeliners!
If I go out of the palace, I will find you.

If Aluan escapes, she is clever and will naturally go to Zhuangzi.

Remember, if it's time for the city gate to close, no matter whether Aluan and I arrive or not, you must not hesitate to go to the gate immediately.

That thing is in the hidden compartment of the ancestral hall, you go and get it, you keep it.

The worst situation, the news leaked out, we all failed, everyone scattered, and the pursuers wanted to catch Ah Feng, Ah Miao and the others, you are the safest one, you have to send things to Lord Hou . "

Ji gritted his teeth tightly.

As the daughter-in-law of the door, she took a slow look at the twists and turns in the palace, but she could understand and understand the meaning and purpose of every sentence that the old lady said.

When that time really comes, all couples, mothers and children will have to lean back.

They are soldiers, and soldiers must fulfill their responsibilities.

Forbidden.

only……

"Have to go?" Ji's throat rolled, "Stop watching?"

"Don't hesitate," Mrs. Hou patted Ji's shoulder heavily, and then she laughed proudly and complacently, "If the old lady hesitated back then, how could Lord Hou be the first to rise up and respond to the late emperor? "

Ji Shi looked deeply at the old lady, raised her hand and pressed it on the back of the old lady's hand, and nodded solemnly.

　See you guys tomorrow~
