Chapter 248: Replacement of coir raincoat with armor

When Yan Shiyi received the news from Zhai Kun, he ignored his words of "love and friendship" and went downstairs to tell a hundred households to lead a team to continue patrolling. He then hurried out of the city and ran towards Dongzhuang.

Yan Shiyi left Dongzhuang very late yesterday. The horse hoof prints he left on the dirt outside the door are still there. Today he came here in such a hurry. When the soldiers outside the door saw that Mr. Yan was in an emergency, they hurriedly left the village. He opened the door and let him enter Zhuangzi all the way.

"Ling Xue, Ling Feng!" Yan Eleven shouted to the two people who were gesturing in the courtyard before he got off his horse.Seeing Yan Shiyi's serious expression, the two of them did not dare to joke and followed him into the prince's study.

"Aren't you on duty today? Why are you here again?" The prince was watching the princess write the "Thousand-Character Essay" silently, saying it was for the child's enlightenment.The Crown Princess' hairpin is beautiful in small regular script, but her large characters are a bit awkward. The Crown Prince is teaching her how to use the pen to save effort.

"Something went wrong this morning. Your Majesty sent Dongchang to check if you have any private soldiers here. Someone must have done some tricks. He immediately searched three miles around to see if there were any dazzling things like armor or weapons. According to custom, People from Dongchang will come over tonight. I don't know what happened in the morning specifically. I came here as soon as I got the news from Dongchang." Yan Shiyi didn't sit down and finished in one breath.

The prince frowned, glanced at Ling Feng and Ling Xue, and they walked out without saying a word.Shen Congxi happened to pass them by the door.

"Shiyi, are you here too?" Cong Xi saw Yan Shiyi and asked, "Do you all know what happened in the morning?"

"No, I don't know. I only got a message from Zhai Kun, saying that the emperor sent him to secretly investigate whether Dongzhuang was raising private soldiers to rebel. The situation was urgent, so I came over quickly to report the news." Yan Shi said.

Shen Congxi sneered and said: "So fast! It seems that the emperor is still suspicious. This morning, it was Pei Shangshu who first attacked Zhan Shi's Mansion. In fact, it was aimed at you, the prince. He said that Zhan Shi's Mansion has been out of power for four months, Kun Zhan The Shifu said that you had lost contact... King Xian was pushed out by King Kang to become a spearman, saying that he had just met you."

"Prince Kang can't wait any longer." The prince said with a faint smile: "This neglectful prince has been away for a long time, raised private soldiers, and conspired to rebel. He just happened to replace him."

Haitang touched her belly and reminded Xie Ruitang: "Concubine Dao's child is more than a month older than our child. The child should be born around the end of this month. The queen is waiting for this child to make a comeback. How could King Kang let him Is she happy?"

Hearing Haitang's words, Xie Ruitang thought of something and said to Yan Shiyi and the others: "Haitang encountered something in the palace. We suspect that the child in the Taoist concubine's belly is not the flesh and blood of my father. It's just that the person who knew the inside story is dead. Why don't you go and investigate this matter." Xie Ruitan lost interest in the court battle and even forgot about this matter.

After receiving Xie Ruitang's words, Haitang told Yan Shiyi and Shen Congzhu in detail about the murder of Su Manzhen, whom she met in the palace on the day the prince was placed under house arrest.He also took out the jade ring he picked up from the drawer in the study and handed it to them both.

The two of them were shocked. They had always heard that Su Manzhen died suddenly of a heart attack. The prince was trapped at that time and had to detoxify Wu Xiang after he came out. In comparison, that incident became insignificant and no one mentioned it. .Now after hearing the Crown Princess talk about it, I realize that there is still a big conspiracy buried here.

"There is no doubt, it must be. The emperor did not let the Taoist concubine get pregnant, so the empress Li Daitao died. This happened a few months ago. This person may have been dealt with secretly. Leave this matter to me, I will check." Yan Eleven grew up in Dongchang since he was a child, and has been working independently since the age of 13. It is not for nothing that he has been a spy for so many years.While several people were talking, Ling Xue walked in carrying two pieces of armor, and threw them all on the ground: "I found them in a cave a mile away from Zhuangzi. There are one hundred sets of infantry and cavalry armors, and corresponding ones." The weapon is still brand new! It’s really generous.”

"In the Duke and Bohou Mansion, the maximum number of soldiers in the palace is not more than a hundred, but Gu has two hundred sets of armor!" The prince sneered: "Have King Xian and King Kang boarded the same boat? I obviously have no benefit, but I want to help King Kang so big I don’t know what leverage Prince Kang got against him.”

Ling Feng then remembered that there were three carriages parked by King Xian outside the village that day.Because he and his two concubines happened to be three people, and it was common for three people to have three cars.They didn't think much of it.

Yan Shisan stepped forward and looked through it carefully to identify it, and said: "This is similar to Jingwei's armor, except for the Jingwei logo. Find two cars and let me take it away immediately."

"Zhai Kun gave me such a big favor, what does he mean..." Xie Ruitang remembered that if it weren't for Zhai Kun, Dongchang would have found this armor tonight, and he would have been unable to explain it clearly.He was beheaded by his father, which was to repay a sinful debt, but how could Haitang and the child still be alive?

Yan Shisan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "He just repaid me for taking care of him since he was a child. He said that from now on, we will let go and we will be enemies again. The East Factory and the West Factory are all the Queen's people now. The capable prince, If you let them choose between the ambitious King Kang and a baby boy, of course they would be more willing to support the latter."

"You guys should go back quickly. It seems that we have to pack up and prepare to return to the East Palace." The prince smiled and took Haitang's hand and looked her up and down: "You have also arrived at the most important month. I originally wanted to stay in the East Palace. Be more comfortable and comfortable, now you have to go back to the place where you were fighting openly and secretly, and with the toss and turns on the road, you will have to work even harder."

After the two of them left, Haitang also helped pack things up.After noon, Kun Yu from Zhan Shi's Mansion arrived at Dongzhuang in person to welcome the prince back to the palace.

The prince pretended that he had not recovered from his illness, and after talking for a long time, he finally reluctantly agreed to go back. However, he also said that the prince's health was inconvenient, and a special driver for the prince had to be transferred from the city before he could leave.Kun Yu seemed very anxious. King Kang asked him to take away the prince before dark so that Dongchang could enter the village to search.

The prince didn't want his wish to be fulfilled, so he dragged her until the sun had set behind the mountains, while the girls were still picking things up from the boxes unhurriedly.

"Your Highness, the child in my belly is hungry. My legs are sore after standing for so long. I have to sit in the car for more than an hour. How can I bear it? I won't leave tonight! I want to eat! I want to Drink soup! I need to go back to bed and lie down..." Haitang complained while holding her stomach.

"Kun James, you see, women are more troublesome. The Crown Princess is pregnant, so there is no need to rush. If something goes wrong, won't you be implicated? Everyone is hungry now, why don't you all be there tonight? Stay in Dongzhuang and return to the city early tomorrow morning." The prince didn't wait for Kun Yu to speak, so he asked someone to serve food and helped the prince inside.

Kun Yu had no choice but to follow the girl to the guest room and stay.
