Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 373 Winter is coming
On this day, Zhao Deji went to court, and all the officials took turns to face him.After finishing, he went back to his study to read the memorial.It was Eunuch Kang who was on duty today.And it was Zhang Yingying who read the memorial.After Zhang Yingying read a sentence, she heard a secret letter from a young eunuch.

The secret letter was sent by Queen Mother Wei.When Zhao Deji heard that it was his biological mother, he immediately took it and opened it himself.Seeing this, his complexion changed drastically, and he broke out in a cold sweat.Seeing his flustered expression, everyone was startled, but they didn't dare to ask what happened.

Zhao Deji stood up and said anxiously while pacing: "How could this be? How could this be?"

Zhang Yingying finally couldn't help it, and asked softly, "What's the matter, official?"

Zhao Deji handed the memorial to her: "Look."

Zhang Yingying took it and read it hastily, and read it again carefully, but her face paled.It turned out that the content of the letter was to the effect that the Empress Dowager Wei came to the territory of the Song Dynasty, and only found out about one thing, that the Song Dynasty had actually returned with a Princess Tianwei.And as far as she knew, Princess Tianwei died in the Five Kingdoms City of Jin Kingdom a few years ago.Princess Tianwei married a local man, and after her death, there was still a tomb in Wuguo City, with all the witnesses and material evidence.Since the real Tianwei has already died, this Tianwei must be a counterfeit?

The question is who is so bold as to pretend to be a princess?

Zhang Yingying's face turned pale with fright, this secret letter is related to the life of the princess and the safety of the consort's family, it is of no small importance.When she married Zhao Deji, it was already after the Jingkang catastrophe, the princess had already been taken away, she had never seen it before, so naturally she couldn't tell the truth from the fake.Most of the current palace people are newcomers, so it's not surprising that they can't recognize the princess, but Zhang Quwei, Mr. Kang and other old people can't recognize them too?At the beginning, when Tian Wei came back, they didn't raise any doubts, they all thought she was the real princess.

Furthermore, the official himself had a good relationship with the Tianwei brothers and sisters since he was a child.Moreover, Tianwei was already fifteen or sixteen years old when she left, and she was almost 20 years old when she came back. It is impossible for a person's appearance to change fundamentally in a few years.How could he not even know his own sister?

The more she thought about it, the more something was wrong, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Zhao Deji retreated to the left and right, leaving Zhang Yingying alone.Zhang Yingying was even more terrified, for fear that a wrong answer would lead to a fate of falling out of favor in front of the moody Zhao Deji, or arouse his suspicion and lead him into an unknown predicament.She secretly made up her mind not to express any opinions for the time being.

Zhao Deji frowned, and said to himself: "Tianwei is a fake princess? How could it be? Could it be that I don't recognize Tianwei?"

Zhang Yingying couldn't answer, but she didn't dare not answer, so she could only say: "The old palace people should recognize the princess..."

"However, the Empress Dowager's letter clearly stated that Princess Tianwei had long since died in a foreign land. Before the Empress Dowager came back, she even went to pay homage to her. The Empress Dowager has known her since she was a child, how could she recognize the wrong person?"

The Queen Mother was right, but Tian Wei must be the one who was wrong.

Zhang Yingying was terrified by this conclusion.

"Tianwei was rescued by Yue Pengju and his wife. She has a deep personal relationship with Yue Pengju and others..."

He paused slightly, Zhang Yingying could only hear her heart beating.Yue Pengju was powerful in the north and south, and repeatedly defeated the Jin army. She had already heard the rumors from the eunuchs in the palace that Yue Pengju was charged with several crimes on the Internet and died imminently.Anyone with a semblance of conscience will feel angry about this consequence. Zhang Yingying learned from the deep palace that Yue Pengju was about to win but was forced to retreat. Naturally, she felt deep sympathy for Yue Pengju, but after listening to Zhao Deji's words, she dared not have the slightest rebellious.Zhao Deji, what crime is this to accuse Yue Pengju of?Or, is it already starting to accuse Tian Wei'an?
Sure enough, she heard Zhao Deji say again, "If the queen mother doesn't mention it, I really overlooked some details. Tianwei was bright and lively when she was young, but she was cowardly and timid. But this 'Tianwei' who returned from the Kingdom of Jin was very taciturn, and she handled things very well. Become bold and cautious, very different from the past..."

Zhang Yingying thought to herself that anyone who experienced the experience of Jin Guo would have some changes in temperament.How can the golden branches and jade leaves maintain the innocence of a girl after going through hardships?

Zhao Deji asked: "Could it be that this Tianwei is really a fake princess?"

No matter how exquisite and fickle Zhang Yingying is, she dare not speak up.Secretly, I thought of the many things that the Jin people spread in Yingtian about the abuse of the Empress Dowager Wei in the laundry yard of the Kingdom of Jin, and some erotic pictures drawn by the Empress Dowager Wei when she was insulted.She felt chills down her back, and suddenly realized that it doesn't matter whether Tian Wei is fake or not, and that Queen Mother Wei will kill her before she comes back. Isn't it because she is afraid that Tian Wei will expose her scandal in the Kingdom of Jin?

Because of thinking about this matter and secretly observing the official's face, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.He just vaguely thought, Tianwei is now the only sibling and only sister of the official family, can he really do anything to the official family?

She had completely lost her sense of proportion, and her mind was in a mess, only to hear Zhao Deji ask: "Miss Zhang, what is Tianwei doing recently?"

"Pray for the official family in the Empress Dowager's Buddhist hall..."

"Oh, she is praying for a child with Hua Rong..."

Zhang Yingying didn't dare to answer at all, if the officials found out that Tianwei helped Hua Rong again, what would he do?And I also got involved, although it was just a few words, in the eyes of the king, who knows if it is a great sin?

"Official family, the queen mother is the spirit of heaven, and she will definitely bless my Great Song Dynasty to prosper and prosper, and bless the official family to have a dragon son early..." She couldn't help carrying out the dead queen mother.

Perhaps Zhao Deji was thinking of the queen mother's soul, so he stopped asking about Hua Rong's whereabouts, and only told her: "Miss Zhang, go to the Buddhist hall tomorrow to see what Tianwei and Hua Rong are doing. Maybe, I shouldn't let them both people together..."

"The concubine obeys."

"You are not allowed to leak any of this news. This matter is no small matter, and the city must not be full of disturbances. How to deal with it, I will investigate and arrange."

"The concubine obeys."

Zhang Yingying knelt down to salute, Zhao Deji went to Little Liu's room in a panic, he had a habit of liking OOXX especially when he was in a bad mood.At this moment, it is natural to go to the most beautiful little Liu to vent.In a panic, Zhang Yingying forgot to remind him not to be promiscuous during the "fasting" period. She didn't stand up until she heard his footsteps completely disappear, and hurried back to her bedroom.As soon as she went back, she immediately ordered the maids to close the door, and fell on the bed by herself, her limbs were sore and her mind was confused.

Yue Pengju's husband and wife were going to die, Tianwei was going to die, and Wanwan who died tragically—these people had no friendship with her at first, but she had to see her own fate from them, and she became more and more shuddering—to serve Your Majesty has completely changed from the "Ming Jun" whom everyone expects to become a brutal and shameless bastard.Which target should his clutches reach next?
Yue Pengju rushed home despite the dust all the way.

Although his wife sent a message, telling him not to go back.However, Zhang Xian was imprisoned, and Yu Peng, Sun Ge and others were also imprisoned, so how could he sit idly by?If you don't go back, how many people will be implicated innocently?
He rushed back like crazy, thinking, will something happen to his wife and son?If I can send my wife and son away this time, I have to fulfill my wish first anyway.I can die, but how can my wife and children die?
He only brought Ma Chao and a few other soldiers with him. He had just arrived in Yuhang territory. It was already evening, the sky was gloomy, and there were few pedestrians on the road.As soon as he came galloping on a fast horse, a person passed by immediately. Yue Peng raised his hand, and something was already in his hand.This person was wearing a big straw hat, so he couldn't see his face clearly, and he didn't know his identity. Yue Pengju didn't ask any further questions. Going forward, in a secluded place, he spread out his palm, and inside was a wax pill.He opened it, and there were only a few words in it: "Don't go back to Beijing, go quickly, and try to take your wife and children out to reunite with you." The signature was Han Zhongliang's.He immediately understood that it was Han Zhongliang who was grateful for his previous helping hand, and this time he rescued him.

He immediately destroyed the note and let out a long sigh. Although Han Zhongliang took the risk and expressed good intentions, how could he not return to Beijing?Even if his wife and children are saved, what about Yu Peng and Sun Ge?What about Zhang Xian?
After walking for a while, he saw the carts rumbling in front of him, and the horses were rustling. He was about to ride the horses, but he heard a faint cry in the carriage, it was the cry of a woman.He was taken aback, reined in his horse, and before he could speak, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and he yelled in shock: "Sister Gao..."

The person who came was Senior Sister Gao, with her two children.It turned out that when she learned that Zhang Xian was arrested in Dali Temple Prison, she had to travel thousands of miles to the capital. Knowing that it would not be of any help to rescue her husband, she also came to see her for the last time.

When Yue Pengju saw Fourth Sister Gao at this moment, he felt his head roaring. The two children were already seven or eight years old. When they saw Yue Pengju, they called him loudly.

When the carriage stopped, Fourth Sister Gao was already in tears.She wanted to get off the car, but Yue Pengju hurriedly stopped her: "This is not a place to talk, Fourth Sister Gao, let's go back to Lin'an right away..."

Fourth Sister Gao wiped away her tears. She was a woman, her husband was captured, and she was completely out of control. Now that she saw Yue Pengju, if she saw a great savior, she could only listen to his arrangement and go to Lin'an together.

Yue Pengju's heart was full of enthusiasm, and he wished he could go back home in just one step. He hurried on, and the cold wind blew past his ears like a knife stab. Only then did he realize that winter is coming, this cruel winter is coming!
Just after getting the promise of the fourth prince to write "Qin Hui's lifelong prime minister" into the Song-Jin peace treaty, Wang Junhua went to the palace to inquire about the news the next day.Those who received her were Wu Jinnu, Xiao Liu Shi, etc. After a perfunctory effort by everyone, Wang Junhua came to the warm pavilion to meet Zhao Deji in private.There is no impenetrable wall in the world. After she learned a little bit of Zhao Deji's thoughts on Hua Rong, she was afraid that Yue Pengju would die. Zhao Deji managed to take Hua Rong by force. Wouldn't it be too difficult to kill Hua Rong by herself?
Along the way, Wang Junhua saw that Zhang Quwei, who was leading the way, was smiling very ambiguously, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zhang, do you have any news?"

Zhang Quwei is Qin Hui's best friend, and said in a low voice, "I found out the news, and if the government doesn't use Wang Jixian for a day, it will be a big shock..."

Wang Junhua was surprised: "Who is the woman? Who is the doctor?"

"It was Kang Qi who was on duty that day. You know, he and his family have always been at odds and refused to disclose the news. These days, the officials are very fond of him..."

Wang Junhua walks in the palace all the year round, but Eunuch Kang has never been able to win him over completely.She hated Eunuch Kang very much, but she couldn't think of any way to drive him out of the court for a while.

Wang Junhua wanted to ask again, but the Nuan Pavilion had already arrived, so Zhang went to wait for him. A palace official had already opened the door, and Wang Junhua went straight in.Zhao Deji was playing with a batch of new paper lottery from the tribute.Wang Junhua knelt down: "The concubine sees the official family."
