Chapter 233
"How come!?" Mrs. Qu was so shocked that she almost dropped her cane, "Aren't these two years a good year?"

"Sister Xian, don't worry," Song Bozong said softly, "No matter how short of food I am in Dazhou, I will never be short of food for the frontline soldiers. Especially now that the battle in the northern border has come to an end, how important is that end, Your Majesty It is clear, and so is the Cabinet."

"How come the food is only enough for a month?"

Song Na took over the conversation, and said softly, "... this... this... ask... the question, I, I, we are also... investigating. But as... the top priority, we should do... give... as soon as possible Allocate grain from the north to the north, and increase the grain storage...for more than three months, so...so that General Chang can avoid...the worries."

"This matter is already being handled." Song Bozong added, "Eight hundred miles is urgent, and the news can be sent to Beiyuan Mansion in three days. It will never delay my nephew's business!"

The two spoke so convincingly that Mrs. Qu could only clasp her fingers tightly, "...depending on the emperor's mountain-like grace, Mr. Ge will do his best."

"Hey." Song Bozong and Song Na nodded at the same time, and said in agreement.

After this conversation, Mrs. Qu no longer had any interest in pursuing the other side of Donglin Temple. For the rest of her life, what she cared about most was Chang Sheng who was on the front line—there have been frequent victories in the north in the past ten years, and this child has never returned. Once, only continuous military exploits and rewards were sent to the empty Chang Mansion one after another, comforting the loyalty of the Chang family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qu frowned. She resisted the soreness of her nose and stood up, gently adjusted her breathing, and then pretended to look at the scenery on the water in the distance.

Qu Xiu also stood up quickly, and followed his mother. He couldn't see her expression clearly, but felt her mother's expression was as cold as ice from the side of his face.She stood by the window for a long time, and when she turned around again, she returned to her usual indifferent manner.

"The emperor and elder Ge are watching over the battlefield. I'm not worried." Mrs. Qu's voice slowed down a bit. She stood in front of the window and looked back at Song Bozong. How much does Ge Lao know about the matter?"

Before the words were finished, Song Na had already stood up and walked out, but turned back from time to time, with an extra scroll in his hand.

"This is……?"

Song Na didn't say a word, but handed it to Mrs. Qu again.

Mrs. Qu took it with doubts on her face. After opening it, she was surprised for a while, and then looked at it with frowned eyes. She put down the scroll in her hand in a murmur until the end, and Qu Xiu quickly took it, and carefully read it. It seems—not only the analysis of the fire situation at the West Keshe scene, but also the names and brief introductions of the four identities of the deceased were written on it, which is very informative.

Seeing this material, Qu Xiu blushed a little, no wonder his mother had to prepare a car to come to Song Mansion.

"Sure enough, it was arson." Madam Qu's conjecture was confirmed, and her face immediately turned dark.

Song Na continued, "Although...although it is... arson, but for...to appease...to soothe the hearts of the people, so as not to cause any...chaos..."

The old lady couldn't listen to Song Na's slow and intermittent words, so she interrupted directly, "So it's an accident to the outside world?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Song Na nodded again and again, "This matter has been...already handed over to...Jing Zhaoyin's place...everywhere, old lady..."

Mrs. Qu's eyes had already turned to Song Bozong, "The elder Ge and the elder Ge know that the arson this time happened before the imperial concubine sent people up the mountain?"

"I know." Song Bozong nodded, he and Song Na glanced at each other, and then said in a low voice, "I just don't know why the imperial concubine suddenly sent the imperial concubine to go up the mountain?"

"It's a long story..." Mrs. Qu gave an outline of how Lin Jieyu planted eyeliner in Chengqian Palace, and it was during the process of investigating this matter that Bo Ling proposed to go to the Dongdong Palace. Lin Si took a look.

Both Song Bozong and Song Na were shocked when they heard the news. Their reaction was exactly the same as when Mrs. Qu heard the news, because no one had doubted this frivolous and vicious woman in the past two years—everyone regarded her as a superior an accident.

But when I think about it carefully, it's really reasonable. Putting such a beauty by the emperor's side can not only give her the imperial concubine's favor, but also give her a pillow breeze when needed...

"Behind Lin Jieyu..." Song Bozong narrowed his eyes in disbelief, "Who could it be?"

"Who else...is there?" Song Na tugged at the goatee on his chin, "Whoever benefits the most...then...of course it is...whose person."

The figure of the same person appeared in front of several people at the same time.

——Prince Gong.

……

"It's really not my king!! Master Zhang, Master Sun! It's fine if others don't believe me, why don't you two believe me?"

In Prince Gong's study, Sun Beiji and Zhang Shouzhong looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.

Zhang Shouzhong asked tentatively, "Is it really not the prince?"

Prince Gong felt like crying but didn't know how to explain it. He paced the room repeatedly, wanting to bang his head against the wall.

"...This king admits that it was indeed this king who wanted to test the situation in Chengqian Palace on Master Hu's side before, so he made such a bad move. But what Lin Jie...how could this king have anything to do with this kind of witch! Not to mention, as a lord, I actually offered such calamity to your father... If I really did this, let me, the spirit of the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, kill me immediately!"

Zhang Shouzhong and Sun Beiji immediately stood up, "My lord!"

Prince Gong had tears in his eyes, "Two masters, can you trust me now?"

Zhang Shouzhong showed embarrassment, "...to tell you the truth, we were still thinking on the way here, if this matter was really done by the prince, although the move is indeed a bit shady, it is indeed a good move. But if it is not for the prince, this It makes people... some don't know what to do."

Prince Gong fluttered his sleeves, and his voice was extremely low, "It must be the trick of Song Dang and the others!"

Sun Beiji frowned, "...If someone from Song Bozong's side did it, what was the motive? The emperor has not yet established a crown prince, and the fate of the Song party has been bound to the little prince now. At this time, if Lin Jieyu and the imperial concubine are going to fight against each other, wouldn't it be like shooting yourself in the foot?"

Zhang Shouzhong nodded, "Exactly, if there is really someone behind Lin Jieyu, now it seems that they are always thinking about us."

"What are you thinking about!" Prince Gong clenched his fists, "Two masters, think about it carefully. If we have already deduced that there is someone behind Lin Jieyu based on the information, wouldn't the royal father know? Even the two of you They all felt that Lin Jieyu must be a pawn that the king sent into the palace to restrain the noble concubine Qu Shi, how would father think of me... This is clearly framed! It is framed!"

"Don't worry, my lord." Zhang Shouzhong still had his usual calm, looked at Sun Beiji, and said softly, "Mr. Ge, I have an idea."
