Rather be a concubine

Chapter 248
Hearing Aunt A Yue's words, Bo Yuqiao felt a warm feeling in her heart, she pursed her lips slightly and smiled, then said again.

"Auntie Ayue, I won't inform Huang Ying about this matter. You can just tell her. If the Bo mansion sends someone to ask, just prevaricate it. Anyway, with Cheng's temperament, it's probably just a matter of saving face and not Nothing will happen. The ones you have to beware of are Yuan Xiangyu and Sun Qinghe, both of them are not easy-going, so Auntie Ayue should be more careful."

After saying that, Bo Yuqiao didn't stay in the side room any longer, after all, seeing Chu Zheng's appearance, she knew that this trip to Suzhou was probably in a hurry and it was not good to delay it any longer.Back in the master bedroom, Bo Yuqiao saw a tall figure standing beside Su Mo. Through the moonlight, he saw that the man's unremarkable face was undoubtedly Ah Yi.

Ah Yi clasped his fists at Bo Yuqiao to salute, then led the two of them out of the Yilan Courtyard, walked out from the back door of the palace, and then saw a navy blue car.This carriage is not bad, it is very spacious, but it doesn't blink too much when you look at it. If you think about it, with the protection of the dead, the journey will not be too difficult.

Because traveling to Suzhou is not a trivial matter, so they didn't pay so much attention to it, and naturally they would not prepare a small bag for the female family members. Bo Yuqiao stood in front of the carriage, and if it wasn't for Su Mo's support, she wouldn't be able to get on the carriage.

After waiting in the carriage for a while, she heard the sound of light footsteps, and the door was pushed open by a slender hand. Seeing the coral bracelet hanging around her wrist, Bo Yuqiao guessed who was coming. The identity must be Princess Yue who had met once before.

After Princess Yue got into the carriage, Chu Zheng followed closely behind. The dead man driving the carriage was none other than Ah Yi, while the rest of the dead men who pretended to be servants sat in the carriage behind.

Princess Yue's attire today is not too eye-catching. She wears a su embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt with a light silver and soft lily skirt inside. Looking at Zhenzhen's extremely luxurious appearance, it also complemented Princess Yue's charming and charming appearance. Standing next to him in this plain attire, he was like a master and servant.But Bo Yuqiao didn't care about these nonsense, what she wanted to know most now was, why did these two aristocrats go to Suzhou?

Bo Yuqiao's thoughts turned, and she didn't lose her manners. When she got up, she wanted to salute Chu Zheng and Princess Yue, but although the car was spacious, Bo Yuqiao still couldn't do it, so she had to half-bend her body, bend her knees slightly, and rush forward. Looking at the two distinguished people in front of him, he said something.

"My concubine has met His Highness and Princess Yue."

Hearing Bo Yuqiao's voice, Chu Yue's heart was slightly disturbed, but he was also a person with deep thoughts, so he would not easily reveal his clues, so he only said softly.

"Madam Qiao doesn't need to be too polite, just sit down."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao didn't want to embarrass herself, after all, it was more than ten days' journey from the capital to Suzhou, if she kept worrying about these vain rituals, her body might not be able to bear it.

After thanking her, Bo Yuqiao sat down straight away, and Chu Zheng sat between Bo Yuqiao and Princess Yue, really embracing each other.

Because of the previous incident, Bo Yuqiao still had a knot in her heart towards Chu Zheng, and she didn't take the initiative to speak at the moment, but Princess Yue, who was beside her, seemed to be very interested in her, and spoke with a bright smile.

"Mrs. Qiao probably doesn't know yet. The three of us went to Suzhou, but we didn't actually go to visit mountains and rivers. Mr. Qi, the imperial envoy sent by the sage to Suzhou, has not sent any news to the palace for a long time now. From this point of view, The officials in the south of the Yangtze River are really rampant and don’t pay attention to the royal family, so the sage just sent me and the fifth brother to Suzhou."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao's heart was shocked. She didn't think that Princess Yue would explain it to herself so kindly. She just spoke to herself just now, just to let her know the seriousness of the situation, so don't cause any trouble. Keep your mouth shut and don't reveal the news.Although this point was vague, Bo Yuqiao was still very clear about it.

Her red lips were slightly pursed, and Bo Yuqiao made up her mind to pretend to be stupid, and immediately, with a hint of worry on her face, she asked eagerly at Princess Yue.

"In this case, the Suzhou party will probably be extremely dangerous. What should we do?"

Seeing Bo Yuqiao's appearance, Chu Yue became even more interested. He had just seen the fluctuations in this little lady's eyebrows and eyes. If she was really such a coward, she would not dare to travel to Suzhou right now. , has long been crying to go back to the palace.

Chu Yue didn't want to spend any more time with Bo Yuqiao here, there was Chu Zheng between the two of them, and it was a little inconvenient for them to talk, so Chu Yue shortened the long story immediately, and then spoke again.

"We are going to pretend to be a wealthy businessman. You and I are both concubines of a wealthy businessman. Your name is Yingge, my name is Yanwu, and our son's surname is Su. Do you remember?"

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao nodded slightly, and then said softly.

"It's from Yingge Province."

Seeing this, Chu Zheng felt a little satisfied with Bo Yuqiao. After all, this little lady is much smarter than others. Taking her out of the palace as a cover-up will surely not let others find out.

This time Chu Zheng went to Suzhou not only for Master Qi, but also to pull out all the cancerous tumors in the Jiangnan area.Right now in the Jiangnan area, even if there are officials, they only know about Ting Yuanfeng but not about saints. Ting Yuanfeng is nothing more than a businessman. The merchants in the area are all gathered in one place, and the government and businessmen have colluded, making the area in the south of the Yangtze River really filthy.

Although the south of the Yangtze River is rich, the life of the people is extremely difficult. The land of fish and rice is rich in products, but the tax is terribly high.Moreover, even [-]% of this heavy tax could not be sent to the household department, and they were all corrupted by officials in the south of the Yangtze River. All the officials became fat-headed.Coupled with this year's floods, although there were two rice crops in Jiangnan, most of the first crop's harvest was destroyed.In this way, it is unknown how many people were displaced.

How can you allow others to snore on the couch?Emperor Chongwen couldn't tolerate Jiangnan being so lawless now.

Sending imperial envoys to the south of the Yangtze River again and again, but with little success.Now Emperor Chongwen was also cruel, and after Qi Zimu lost the news, he wanted to send Chu Zheng to Suzhou.

At present, Wu Xianyi, the prefect of Suzhou, is a dignified fourth-rank official. Although he is not a Beijing official, he is also very respectable.But this guy really didn't know what to do, he colluded with Ting Yuanfeng to trap Qi Zimu in Suzhou Mansion, it was really audacious, and there was no other evidence, if Wu Xianyi was moved, Ting Yuanfeng would be very cautious.

So Chu Zheng is really in a bit of a dilemma. If someone is sent to kill Ting Yuanfeng, I am afraid that the Salt Gang will be in chaos. will bring disaster.

And the imperial envoy Qi Zimu is the confidant of Emperor Chongwen, and also a rare talent. If he really fell in the boundary of Suzhou Prefecture, I am afraid that the saint will be heartbroken.This Qi Zimu used to be the You Tongzheng of the Imperial Academy, but now he is regarded as an imperial envoy by the sage, and going to Suzhou as an envoy is really not a good job, if he doesn't think about it, I'm afraid Qi Zimu's life will not be saved.

Moreover, due to the floods this year, the imperial court also allocated a sum of disaster relief funds, a total of 50 taels. It is not known where it is used now, or who has the disaster relief funds.What's more, Wu Xianyi and Ting Yuan Fengneng are so arrogant, do they really have no backer in Beijing?Chu Zheng didn't believe this!
Looking at Chu Zheng's gloomy face, Bo Yuqiao didn't know what this guy was thinking of, but his body trembled slightly involuntarily. Chu Zheng had a reputation for violence, and before that, Bo Yuqiao's life was almost at the mercy of Chu Zheng. In his hands, he was even more terrified of him, and seeing this person's uneasy expression at this moment, he was a little jealous.

When we set off from Prince Rui's Mansion, it was still dark, but walking on the official road, the sun had already risen.Now it's June, and the morning is still a bit cold, Bo Yuqiao folded her arms involuntarily, leaning on the cushion at the back, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Chu Zheng didn't bring eunuch Furong with him on this trip.Although the identity of the eunuch is easy to be exposed, what Bo Yuqiao is thinking about is not this, but something else.She remembered that she had met Empress Dowager An before, and found that there were some illegal objects on her body. Could it be that Chu Zheng was guarding against Empress Dowager An?After all, Furong was originally the confidant of Empress Dowager An.

Thinking of this, Bo Yuqiao felt her body getting colder. Although she had known for a long time that the Tian family had no family ties, what she heard was believing what she saw was believing. Seeing that Chu Zheng even had to be wary of his own mother, it was hard to live this day. It's boring.

Bo Yuqiao raised her almond eyes and saw Chu Zheng's side face. When the man closed his eyes, his aura was not so strong.Bo Yuqiao still remembers the first time he saw Chu Zheng, his skin and flesh were like jade snow, and his eyes were extremely arrogant. With this appearance, his stature has elongated, his skin has changed from jade color to the current wheat color, and his facial features are a little harder than before, but they are still as if carved by heaven.

"Have you seen enough?"

Chu Zheng spoke suddenly, which really startled Bo Yuqiao, but she quickly recovered and said hastily.

"I also hope that the prince will make amends, the concubine has lost her composure."

Seeing Bo Yuqiao's cautious look, Chu Zheng frowned slightly, feeling that it was really unpleasant, not as refreshing as when he was in a daze before.Chu Zheng felt depressed, but he didn't know how to vent it, so he could only grit his teeth.

"Didn't I say it before? When you are away from home, there are no princes. After you arrive in Suzhou, don't forget about Yingge."
