My wife has a secret

Chapter 68 Chasing Husband
"Miss, please don't make such jokes in front of Yang Liu and Cui Er."

Yang Liu smiled shyly, as if she had thought of something, and asked, "Miss, you are going to the capital for the young master's matter, right? But that is under the feet of the emperor, who can help us?"

Qin Shuying's lips curled slightly, her expression half-smiled, "The maid in Wangyue Tower is familiar with us. Considering her former cash cow, she might be able to introduce one or two dignitaries to a poor young lady like me."

Yang Liu opened her mouth, but before she could make a sound, Cui'er's voice came from outside the door.

"Miss, the third young lady is here."

After a few breaths, Lu Wanhe, wearing a loose fox fur coat, walked in.

Her face was pale and she had no makeup on. It was obvious that she was in a hurry when she left and forgot to tidy herself up.

"cough……"

As soon as he entered the house, Lu Wanhe was out of breath due to fast walking and started coughing violently.

She was as fragile as a kite swaying in the wind.

"Xiao Huan, help the Third Young Madam sit down. Cui Er, go close the door and light the stove... Sister Lu is really something, coming here in such a cold weather."

After Lu Wanhe's body temperature had slightly warmed up and her breathing had returned to normal, she asked, "Sister Qin, I heard that my husband was taken to the capital? Did he leave with the first wife this morning?"

Qin Shuying remained calm, brushing her knee-length skirt with her hands, and replied in a nonchalant tone, "Yes."

"Ji Xia told me that my husband's being targeted by the court had something to do with me..."

Qin Shuying glanced at Ji Xia behind Lu Wanhe with her beautiful eyes. The other party blushed and dared not say a word.

After Lu Wanhe finished speaking, Qin Shuying persuaded him, "This incident has nothing to do with you. We all know that the poem was not written by you. The people in the capital are just looking for an excuse to target the Xu family."

Lu Wanhe bit her lip and thought for a while, then said, "I'm going to the capital."

Qin Shuying frowned slightly but did not respond.

Only the current emperor's lineage dares to take action against the Xu family, which is backed by the empress dowager.

This time, targeting Xu Qing also means that the other party is well prepared and has a strong trump card.

Not to mention Lu Wanhe, even a Jinshi with a reputation would find it difficult to change the situation in the capital, right?

"Sister Qin, I saw the bag on the bed... Can you take me to the capital? I can exchange all the valuable items in the three courtyards for you, as long as you take me to the capital..."

Seeing the hesitation on Qin Shuying's face, Lu Wanhe thought that she had some worries.

The latter thought of Xu Qing's explanation and shook his head, saying, "The capital is several times the size of Suzhou. It often takes from sunrise to sunset to walk between the two cities. What are you going to do in such a big place?"

"Master Nie is teaching at the Imperial College. Wan He wants to go to the capital to find him."

Qin Shuying remained silent.

Mr. Nie's reputation in the literary world is known to everyone, but it is really irrational for him to want to interfere in the power struggle between the emperor and the empress.

Unless Master Nie risked his own reputation in later life and stood up for this registered female disciple he accepted several years ago.

Qin Shuying originally wanted to reject Lu Wanhe, but she felt that the Lu family from the Third Courtyard was stubborn and would find other ways to rush to the capital even if they didn't follow her.

Instead of this, it would be better to let her go with me.

Moreover, Master Nie has an excellent reputation among others, so he should be able to protect her and not let her suffer.

"Then we will set out tomorrow and head north via the Grand Canal. We will arrive in the capital three days earlier than their carriages."

……

Official road, inside the carriage.

Shen Shuangxu put the letter book back and said calmly, "An important figure from the White Lotus Sect is imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice."

"Leader?" Xu Qing's words made Shen Shuangxu's expression freeze. The latter stared at him with eyes as cold as ice.

Xu Qing also knew that this joke was not funny, and he chuckled: "It's just a joke, there's no need to be so rigid... Who is imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice prison?"

"Spring is born in the Messenger of Four Seasons."

Envoy Dongzang has explained the power structure of the White Lotus Sect to Xu Qing. He knows that the Four Envoys are the most important in the White Lotus Sect, and above them are the Saintess and the Leader.

The Envoy of Four Seasons is able to command the God of the North Dipper and is considered a high-ranking figure in the White Lotus Sect.

"That's great. Chunsheng has been captured, Dongzang is dead, and there are only two Four Seasons Envoys left in the White Lotus Sect."

Shen Shuangxu ignored Xu Qing's optimistic attitude and said, "The White Lotus Sect's Chunsheng Envoy is a pair of twins. The one who was arrested and imprisoned is the elder brother, named Dou Zhan."

"Twins? Does that mean the same as twins?"

"Yes, but it is rumored that the Spring Envoys have the ability to call the wind and rain, and ride on clouds and mist."

"Wait! Wait!"

It took Xu Qing some time to digest the information Shen Shuangxu had said.

He confirmed that he had not heard wrongly, and that these words came from Shen Shuangxu's mouth.

"Isn't the White Lotus Sect a fake group of gods who pretend to be gods? How come they have such miraculous abilities?"

Shen Shuangxu replied: "This is the case record of the Dali Temple back then, but it is impossible to verify whether it is true or not, because the two of them could not use this technique after they separated."

Since it is an old matter, it is most likely a trick of the White Lotus Sect.

"The royalists reported you to prison. Given your special status, you will be imprisoned on the last floor of the dungeon. The other prisoners on this floor are not good people, but Dou Zhan is gentle and will not hurt anyone."

"So you really want me to come in?"

"Well, there is too little information about the White Lotus Cult. If we can get some useful information from Envoy Chunsheng, we can save a lot of effort. He has been in a cage without seeing the sun for seventeen years, so he will reveal some flaws more or less."

Xu Qing sighed and said helplessly: "This is the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Who would let their husband run there?"

"Prison is a place where no one can hurt you. Minister of Justice Liao Yue is also an old fox in the officialdom. He dare not neglect you before the wind direction is determined."

Shen Shuangxu stared into Xu Qing's eyes, as if he was confessing his true thoughts.

"I didn't stop them because I wanted to protect you."

Day and night alternate.

Although there was a woman with bright eyes and white teeth, who looked like a fairy, passing in the carriage, Xu Qing still found the journey boring.

During the bumpy journey of three days and two nights, Xu Qing hardly saw Shen Shuangxu rest.

The other party would just sit in her seat and read various letters.

"Miss, there is an official post house ahead."

"Well, let's rest there tonight."

After Shen Shuangxu finished her response, the carriage changed direction and turned onto a muddy road.

Xu Qing opened the car curtain and found that the surroundings were desolate and basically unattended.

"I haven't seen the group of black-armored cavalry either."

Mingzhu, who was driving the carriage in front, replied, "Master, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has strict military orders that they are not allowed to stay in the house unless it is a battle."

She paused and continued, "If the young master had been escorted by them, he would have to sleep outdoors now."
