The little medical concubine

Chapter 434 Doubtful

Qi Yanling didn't want to live in a post house, so she found an inn near Jinkou Commercial Bank to stay in. Although she was emotionally excited, Zhao Linxiu still managed to make her so tired that she couldn't get excited, and fell into a deep sleep.

The full moon was hanging in the sky, and the night was as cold as water. Zhao Linxiu stroked Qi Yanling's smooth back to make sure that she had slept soundly, and then he quietly got up, left the inn and went to the office in Shanghang Street.

This office was named by Qi Yanling herself, saying that it is so kind and suitable, so these three big characters are written on the door plaque of this yamen.

"Your Majesty." Just as Zhao Linxiu appeared, several men in the hall knelt down with a swipe.

Kneeling at the front was Cheng Jiaming, and at this moment his heart was pounding. Today, the emperor found out that he went to the Qianjinhang, and he wondered if he would be scolded for negligence of duty.

Zhao Linxiu sat down, "Get up."

Cheng Jiaming stood up, glanced at Zhao Linxiu cautiously, "Your Majesty, everything you ordered me to prepare is here."

In fact, he did not expect that the emperor would attach so much importance to the trading company. Not only did he want to check the number of overseas merchants in recent months, but also the volume of various goods exported to sea. Fortunately, he was well prepared.

Zhao Linxiu glanced at the stack of books, but didn't look at them immediately, but looked at the others, "Have all the evidence of Zhang Dahai's crimes been collected?"

"Back to the emperor, we have already collected everything, but... there is no evidence that he was greedy with King Pingyang, and all their letters were burned clean."

Zhao Linxiu nodded slightly. In fact, last time Qi Yanling intercepted the person sent by Zhang Dahai to deliver the letter, but in order not to startle the snake, he did not take the letter away. He just stole the letter and put it back. The old fox of Pingyang King was the most cautious. How could it be so easy to get rid of him completely.

"You first write the memorial and send it to the capital. I'll keep the evidence for now. There's no rush." ​​He wanted to see if the memorial that exposed Zhang Dahai's greed for ink could reach him in the end, and he also wanted to know how many people in the capital's imperial court had reached in. up.

After all, he has been away for too long, and some people will always take the opportunity to make trouble.

Cheng Jiaming agreed in a low voice.

Zhao Linxiu whispered about other people's affairs, and he didn't return to the inn until the middle of the month.

He lightly lay down beside Qi Yanling again, Qi Yanling turned around and continued to sleep in his arms.

The next day, Zhao Linxiu took Qi Yanling to walk around Shanghang Street, fulfilling her wish. After lunch, Qi Yanling went to Qianjinhang to talk to Lu Xiangying.

"Sister Ying, what do you think of that Cheng Jiaming?" Qi Yanling asked Lu Xiangying with a smile while looking at Qianjinhang's account books for half a year.

Lu Xiangying, who was talking about how good Qianjinhang's business was at first, blushed and stopped talking when she heard this.

Qi Yanling's reading of the account book slowed down, and she did not forget to glance at Lu Xiangying.

"Mother..." Lu Xiangying called out shyly.

"It seems that Lang Youqingmei is interested." Qi Yanling suppressed a smile, "Although my aunt didn't say anything, I know she must be worried that you won't be able to get married here, so let me give you a marriage. Cheng Jiaming doesn't dare to bully you, what do you think?"

Lu Xiangying stomped her feet, "Ma'am, are you looking at the account books, or...or..."

"Of course my sister's life is important." Qi Yanling said seriously, "By the way, is your elder brother married yet?"

"I got married half a year ago, and I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant a few days ago." Lu Xiangying said, as long as it wasn't about her own affairs, she could answer them fluently.

Qi Yanling thought of Lu Xiangrou, "I don't know what happened to your sister, she and Lian Chengyan..."

"Ma'am, Lian Chengyan has been with my sister in Renhetang all these years, but my sister just refuses to agree, because she is afraid..." Lu Xiangying hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"Are you sorry for me?" Qi Yanling shook her head with a smile, "I don't blame Lian Chengyan anymore, why should she wrong herself, and wait until I return to the capital to talk about her."

Lu Xiangying laughed happily, she knew that many things would be different now that the empress came back.

When the empress disappeared before, many people in the capital thought it was falling out of favor, and many took advantage of the fire to rob, but now it's all right, when the empress returns to the capital, those people will just wait and see.

"Quickly tell me, do you really like Cheng Jiaming, or I'll point him to other girls." Qi Yanling said.

Lu Xiangying stood up nervously and shouted, "He's mine."

"Oh, wouldn't it be enough to say that earlier." Qi Yanling laughed out loud. In fact, she felt that Cheng Jiaming and Lu Xiangying were a good match. She had meant this long ago, but she didn't know what the two of them meant.

How good it is now, this is fate.

Lu Xiangying blushed, "Your Majesty just likes to make fun of me."

"What's there to be shy about? Of course you have to fight for the person you like, otherwise you'll lose it." Qi Yanling said, "Okay, let's get back to business."

Lu Xiangying knew that Qi Yanling had already taken her marriage to heart, and the next thing was what she wanted to find herself today.

"Your Majesty, please tell me." Lu Xiangying also became serious.

"I've looked at the account books. Yuan Qicheng has the most business dealings with Qianjinhang. This person...have you met?" Qi Yanling asked in a low voice.

Lu Xiangying nodded lightly, "I've met him twice, but every time he talked about business, it was another person on their boat. I heard those people called him second brother."

"Sister Ying, I want you to inquire about something for me. This matter must be kept absolutely secret, and no one is allowed to disclose it." Qi Yanling lowered her voice, "It's best to ask those people at sea."

Lu Xiangying's heart ached, hearing Qi Yanling speak so seriously, how could she not be nervous.

Qi Yanling tapped the table with her fingers, and thought carefully, "I want to inquire about two people, one is Yan Yunfeng, and the other is Zhao Zhao."

Zhao Zhao?Lu Xiangying almost called out the word Queen Mother, but just looked at Qi Yanling in shock.

"The matter is very important, you have to be careful in everything." Qi Yanling said in a low voice, "Zhao Zhao has been missing for 20 years, and no one knows where she is in the past 20 years. Although she said she went to sea, where has she been? She never said, Sister Ying, if you find danger when you inquire, you must stop and return to the capital, don't stay here."

Lu Xiangying nodded. She knew the seriousness of the matter, and she would definitely act carefully. Although she didn't know why Qi Yanling wanted to inquire about Zhao Zhao, it must be because the queen mother had problems, so the queen suspected it.

Qi Yanling carefully told her what she should pay attention to, and before doing anything, the first thing to ensure was her own safety.

Lu Xiangying wrote down one by one, and by the time Qi Yanling was able to set off, it was already afternoon.

Zhao Linxiu took her by the hand and got into the carriage, "Going back at this time, we may reach Angzhou City in the middle of the night."

"Let's just hurry on our way." Qi Yanling was in a happy mood because her wish was fulfilled, but she felt a little ashamed of Zhao Linxiu because she wanted Lu Xiangying to inquire about it.

He must not let him know about this matter. If Zhao Zhao really did nothing, it would be the best, but Zhao Linxiu might blame her for not believing Zhao Zhao. It broke Zhao Linxiu's heart.

The hope is that the Supreme Emperor overthinks everything, and she doesn't want Zhao Linxiu to be sad.

"Still reluctant?" Zhao Linxiu felt that Qi Yanling in his arms was not in a good mood, thinking that she was reluctant to leave Jinkou City.

Qi Yanling put her arms around his neck, and rubbed her cheek against his neck a few times, "No, it's just that I suddenly felt a little emotional, and I don't know when I'll be able to come again."

"Soon." Zhao Linxiu said.

"I don't know what's going on in the capital. No one really knows that I've been missing for a few years? This time I'm still bringing my son... Will others say that it wasn't your own?" Qi Yanling's mind suddenly widened.

Zhao Linxiu's voice turned cold, "Who would dare! I pulled out his tongue." Soon he said softly, "Don't think too much, Ah Cheng looks exactly like me when I was a child, how could others not see it."

Qi Yanling smiled lightly, "I'm just shy because of my closeness to my hometown."

"I'm afraid it will take some time to clean up the capital." Zhao Linxiu rubbed her head and said in a deep voice.

"You mean, King Pingyang?" Qi Yanling asked.

Zhao Linxiu said, "It's not easy to move this old fox. First clean up his branches and leaves. Before I announced to the outside world that you were sick and needed to rest. When you go back this time, you will meet a person who enters the city and let everyone know. I'm going to pick you up."

"Then Ah Cheng... don't show your face in public." Qi Yanling was really afraid that Ah Cheng would be in danger.

Zhao Linxiu nodded, "I think so too."

As the carriage left Jinkou City, the lights in front of the carriage became farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the night.

"You can rest assured now." Two tall figures appeared beside the gate of Jinkou City, and after a closer look, they were Feng Zhaochuo and Chaoye?

Chaoye stared at the carriage that had disappeared into the night, he was worried, although he left in Jingdezhen at that time, he was always worried about whether she would live well, that's why he followed Feng Zhaochuo to Jinkou City.

Obviously, his worries were unnecessary. Zhao Linxiu was very kind to her, so there was no need for him to worry.

"Chaoye, I'm not talking about you, it's useless if you just think about it like this, Yan'er has been with you for more than a year, and you haven't let her give up on Huangfuxiu, which proves that you are not destined, why bother. "Feng Zhaochuo really can't see the court and the public torturing himself like this.

Asano smiled leisurely, "Yeah, why should I do this? Don't worry, I can completely let go."

"Really?" Feng Zhaochuo's eyes lit up, "Chaoye, I told you last time that my cousin is nice, how about..."

"Tomorrow I will set off to return to Xiguo, and there will be a period later." Asano said with a faint smile, and walked into the city.

"My cousin doesn't like it, I have a niece..." Feng Zhaochuo chased after her.
