Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 168 Disaster from Heaven (2)

Mo Wu clapped his hands happily, and shouted, "My lady, you guessed it right! The people living in the two courtyards are your old acquaintances. It’s the Fifth Young Lady from the Privy Council’s Mr. Cao’s family who married far away in Yunzhou!”

Shi Yiqing was stunned, and it took him a while to react: "Fifth Miss of the Cao family? But Cao Qingyun who married into the governor's family of Yunzhou? Why is she here?"

"I heard from the boy that the third lady of the Cao family who entered the palace was about to give birth. The fifth lady was worried about her sister, so she hurried back from Yunzhou. On the way, she ran into the head of Xianghe County who was ordered to come to Beijing. The two of them walked together and said We are going to Beijing together!"

Shi Yiqing frowned and thought for a while: "Since you can get the news, Liu Keyun probably knows about it. He is watching us so closely now, and he is afraid that someone will stop us before we get close to them. How to ask for help. Besides, the news of Miss Shi Jiajiu's tragic death in the suburbs has spread long ago. I'm afraid that if they ask for it, they will just think we are fake and refuse to help. Even if they are willing to help, That Liu Keyun is holding the emperor's imperial decree, who dares to defy it?"

Mo Wu's hopes were extinguished by Shi Yiqing's cold water, so he couldn't help but sullen, and said: "Then let that surnamed Liu do whatever he wants? I don't believe it, our emperor's order is for him to embarrass us like this?"

"I think you are becoming more and more daring, and even the Holy Majesty has started to comment freely?"

Seeing Shi Yiqing's stern expression, Mo Wu couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly said, "How dare I, it's not... I'm not angry with that Liu Keyun!"

Shi Yiqing got up from the couch and said: "Forget it, this is a love affair many years ago. Those who marry now, those who have children, they are no longer those girls who rode horses and fought casually, and I am not that sharp-toothed girl." The mouth is sharp and unforgiving, the stunned head is green, and the fortunes and fortunes of this trip to Beijing are unpredictable, so don't bother others, just let each other live in peace."

Seeing what Shi Yiqing said, Mo Wu gave up the idea of ​​going to find them secretly, and called Xing'er and others who were serving outside to come in to change Shi Yiqing's clothes and hair, and when Liu Keyun gave an order, he got up and followed to the capital.

After everyone had eaten their breakfast, Shi Yiqing followed Liu Keyun's instructions and turned around on the carriage. He had just left the gate of the South Courtyard and was about to get on the carriage when a little girl sprang out from the slant, and said cleverly: "Greetings, my county magistrate." I invite this lady to go and have a talk."

The lieutenant who was following Shi Yiqing stood vigilantly in front of the little girl, and shouted: "My wife is not free!"

The little girl gave the deputy general a dissatisfied look, then looked at Shi Yiqing again: "Ma'am, my county lord has an invitation."

Shi Yiqing pointed to the lieutenant general in front of him with a wry smile, and said: "I intend to go, but you can also see that I am not free anywhere here, if I go, I am afraid that I will cause trouble for your county lord. It’s not good. You go back and tell the county magistrate, and say that the old man paid homage here, wishing her peace and joy and prosperity in her life.”

Seeing that Shi Yiqing turned around to get into the carriage, the little girl couldn't help rushing forward, but was stopped by the lieutenant outside. The annoyed little girl stomped her feet, turned back to the carriage behind her, and told Shi Yiqing's words one by one, and described the situation she had encountered. He said it emphatically, and finally said: "Master, I see that they have watched you leave the capital for many years, and they don't take you seriously at all!"

Cao Qingyun, who was sitting on the side, frowned and scolded: "Shut up, your county master knows it for himself, there is no need for you to sow discord!"

The county magistrate of Xianghe put away the folding fan in his hand, and asked suspiciously: "Qingyun, you said, she is really the one from the Shi family? But everyone in Beijing said that Miss Nine had already gone, so why did she show up again today?" here?"

Cao Qingyun thought about it and said: "Although I hadn't married to Yunzhou back then, the situation here is very complicated, and no one can explain it clearly except for the person involved. I only know that at that time, the old ninth of the Shi family and the seven of the Xiao family were married. The young lady has a good relationship. One day, for some reason, the body of the seventh lady of the Xiao family was sent back to the Xiao family in Beijing from the outskirts of the city. The Xiao family never said anything about what happened to her. Just as everyone was speculating, the emperor issued an order Miss Shi Jiajiu and Miss Xiao Jiaqi were canonized as princesses. However, within a few days after this decree, someone in Beijing secretly reported that the lady from the Xiao family was buried in the ancestral grave of the Mu family. A young master who summoned the guardian of Dao and made a sword, worshiped the heaven and earth with the underworld of Miss Xiao's family, which made the whole thing more complicated and confusing. No one knew what happened, and no one knew. The Shi family who disappeared Miss, is she alive or dead?"

"You mean, Shi Yiqing is not dead yet?" The county magistrate Xianghe said with a serious face, "That is to say, the woman we saw just now is Shi Yiqing?!"

"If my guess is correct, she should be Shi Yiqing, Miss Shi Jiajiu!"

"Your guess?"

Cao Qingyun saw that the magistrate of Xianghe was full of doubts, and said slowly: "Master, do you still remember that back then, you, me, the seventh lady of the Xiao family, and Shi Yiqing, the four of us ran horses and chased on the grassland outside the city. Was it the last quarrel? At that time, I felt that Shi Yiqing was not a simple lady from a famous family. Although she came from a concubine family, she was unwilling to be just a concubine, but she was a grandmother in the Shi family. I don't like it. Back then, there was still a stepmother and a sister-in-law on top of her. How could she have a bright future? If it were me, I would rather hide in the countryside and live my whole life in peace. It's not hard to think about it, she Fake death and escape."

Xianghe County Lord frowned and said: "But since she didn't die, the Shi family shouldn't have accepted the canonization of the emperor. Now after her death, the mourning and glory spread throughout the Dayan Dynasty. At this time, she popped out to receive the glory. The emperor's face!"

"I don't think that's what she meant, county magistrate, look." Cao Qingyun lifted the curtains and led Xianghe county magistrate to look, "The man in the bright silver armor is none other than Qianhu, the Imperial Forest Army by the emperor's side. It's not the emperor's will, how dare he bring Shi Yiqing back to Beijing openly."

The magistrate of Xianghe County carefully considered and said: "But if it is announced to the public like this, for the emperor, I am afraid that he will become angry from embarrassment. At that time..."

"At that time, it is reasonable to kill the Shi family."

"You mean, the emperor wants to attack the Shi family?"

Cao Qingyun smiled lightly: "The current Shi family is just an empty shell, barely surviving in Beijing, I'm afraid, it's not the Shi family that our emperor wants to move. Don't forget, the Shi family has gone with the prince recently. near."
