Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 33

[33. Chapter 32]

On this day, the mango seed rests, there is no court discussion, and there is no need to rush the time.

It was dawn when it was close to the imperial city, and Zhu Minda sent Yulinwei to Yulinwei and ordered Zhu Nanxian and Shen Xi to follow them and go to the East Palace together.

Not far away, the maid of Fengtian Palace was turning off the lights. She climbed up the long ladder and took the bamboo pole with a slight hook. The lanterns hung under the eaves were picked off. From a distance, it seemed that the stars were falling one by one.

Zhu Minda looked sideways at Zhu Nanxian, who was following behind him, and asked, “Are those Jinyiwei brought by Liu Chaoming?”

Zhu Nanxian didn’t answer.

Zhu Minda snorted coldly, “It’s not been a day or two that Zhu Weiwei wanted to kill you, he has been planning this game for a long time, the dark guards he invited must not be idle, Nancheng soldiers and horses are just a bunch of grass, how to deal with them Competing? Besides, the severed head and stump limbs at the Zhaohe Bridge are sharp and sharp, other than Jin Yiwei, can someone else do it?”

He said here, his footsteps paused, and his hands were facing the depths of the palace, and he asked slowly: ” That Su Jin, is that a woman?”

Zhu Nanxian also stopped abruptly, his hands clenched tightly, but he resisted the sudden stun in his heart without showing any emotion.

Zhu Minda glanced at him unexpectedly, and said lightly: “Yes, there is progress.”

As early as when Shen Xi brought out a maid out of thin air, he guessed that Su Jin was a woman. Thinking that she had changed clothes that night, and before that, in the front room of the palace, Thirteen tried desperately to open the door for her.

Zhu Nanxian grew up by his side, and others can’t see the abnormality, can he not see it?

If it wasn’t for a big secret to hide, with Thirteen’s personality, how could he be willing to accept his marriage in front of so many people?

Zhu Minda glanced at Shen Xi again: “You know that too?”

Shen Xidao said solemnly, “I don’t know, but when my brother-in-law asked this, Wei Chen seemed to be in awe.”

Juminda knew that he was playing tricks again and didn’t bother to pay attention to him.

Thinking about it again, although Shen Qingyue eloquently defended Su Jin, he really did not see the wrong person.

This Su Jin is really smart, even if he guessed Shen Xi’s purpose, he just described himself as a witness and poured all the dirty water back on the officials under the seven kings.

Such a transformation has become a must-have pawn in his own hands.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t care whether Su Jin was a man or a woman, and there was an insignificant ant on the left and right.

Zhu Minda thought of this, and instructed Shen Xi: “Tonight’s situation, although your nonsense has cleared it up, but the guards, servants, and insiders of the Ma residence. There are many people, whether Su Jin is the witness of Lao Qi’s murder of Thirteen, whether she came out of Ma’s Mansion with Thirteen, or was brought out by Liu Yun’s censor who patrolled the city. Anyone who is interested can find out the clue. You Let’s take care of your words and act according to them, those who know what they shouldn’t know should be killed, and they won’t be able to stay alive.”

Shen Xi’s eyes froze slightly, and he replied in a low voice, “Yes.”

Zhu Minda was there . Thinking about it in his heart, although Fourteen is an idiot, he is the best at provoking.

After these two days have passed, the official fraud case has come to an end, and he and Lao Qi still have a tough battle to fight.

Therefore, careful planning is necessary.

While thinking about it, I have reached the East Palace. In the morning of early summer, the gardens of the East Palace are prosperous and radiant. Before I even reached the main hall, I saw a woman in a golden hairpin palace dress hurriedly greeted her. She was beautiful and beautiful. Just like Shen Xi, there is a mole next to her eyes, which is the Crown Princess Shen Jing.

Shen Jing’s eyes were dark blue, she must have waited for Zhu Minda all night, she greeted her with a salute, and asked, “Why did it take so long?” She glanced at Zhu Nanxian, who was following behind Zhu Minda, and asked with concern again. : “Is Thirteen hurt?”

Zhu Nanxian shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, Huangsao, I’m fine.”

The worry between Shen Jing’s brows did not diminish. She was about to ask someone to prepare water and food, but was stopped by Zhu Minda raising her hand.

He turned around and said slowly to Zhu Nanxian and Shen Xi, “You two kneel down.”

Zhu Nanxian was used to it, fell to his knees, and knelt straight down.

Shen Xi shrugged at Shen Jing and knelt beside Zhu Nanxian.

Shen Jing and Zhu Minda grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Since childhood, they have loved these two younger brothers the most. Seeing the tired appearance of the two of them who had not slept all night, she could not help but gently persuade: “Your Highness, forget it this time.”

Zhu Minda took a deep breath . Said: “One of the nonsense almost died, and the other tried to hide from the sky and cross the sea. If it wasn’t for your face, this palace should have punished heavier.”

Shen Xi blinked at Shen Jing, as if to persuade: “Second sister, I’m fine, brother-in-law today The anger is so great that only letting me and Thirteen kneel for a few hours is indeed a light punishment. You didn’t see it, just now at Zhaohe Bridge, Liu Yun was injured and his blood was about to dry, and my brother-in-law didn’t even look at it. A glance?”

Shen Jing was slightly surprised and turned to look at Zhu Minda, who turned cold and did not speak.

Shen Xi smiled and said again: “Brother-in-law, Master Liu is a descendant of the Liu family, the only disciple of the imperial censor of Meng Lao, and even the emperor is reluctant to punish him on weekdays, so he said about the case of the Northern and Southern officials. He stopped early for a month when he got his leg, so I’m afraid it’s not good for you to toss him like this this time?”

Zhu Minda knew that Shen Xi’s words were actually asking himself about his attitude towards Liu Chaoming.

He was too lazy to hide from Shen Xi, and said bluntly: “Liu Yun is different from you, what do you think, Ben Gong can see it clearly, but Liu Yun is too deep in his mind to be guarded. Ben Gong does not know the Jin Yiwei tonight. Who was it that brought it on, but since Wei Jiang followed him at the Zhaohe Bridge to kill the imperial censor of Zuodu, Jin Yiwei must have something to do with Liu Yun.

“Today was supposed to be a complete victory. Both would be hurt. If someone else was replaced, Ben Gong would have killed a thousand swordsmen. Because he was Liu Yun and the head of the Imperial Court, Ben Gong had only set up a dismount. ”

Seeing that he was open and honest, Shen Xi also asked himself: “Brother-in-law, do you think this Jinyiwei was really recruited by Liu Yun?” Zhu

Minda said: “Yes, but no.”

A person with a timid temperament, as far as he is concerned, it is better to be outside of right and wrong, which is why the father and emperor value him so much. If he had not bought Su Jin’s life with Ben Gong because of the position of the Supreme Court that day, today There is no need to get involved in this turmoil. Therefore, there must be someone behind Jin Yiwei’s arrival.”

He said with a smile on his lips: “It is not difficult to guess, the nineteen His Royal Highnesses in the palace, this person is not the old seventh, if it is the old seventh, The crown prince of this palace has long been his, not the fourteenth, the fourteenth is too stupid, Wei Zhang is not a fool, how could he choose him as the master? Big, even Wei Zhang wants to be subdued, and one day he will jump out.”

Shen Xi said with a look of admiration: “Brother-in-law is really a god.” He made a gesture of throwing himself to the ground.

Zhu Minda snorted coldly: “Put away your flower shelf.” After he finished speaking, he changed his voice warmly: “A Jing.” He patted the hand of Shen Jing, who was still looking at Zhu Nanxian and Zhu Nanxian worriedly. , go to the gate of the palace.

When the figures of Zhu Minda and Shen Jing disappeared in the hall, Shen Xi patted his knees, got up and pushed Zhu Nanxian again: “Hey, don’t you really want to kneel for two hours?”

Zhu Nanxian said nothing . take care of him.

Shen Xi said again: “Don’t worry, your royal brother listens to my sister’s words the most. When the wind blows next to his pillow, he will be soft-hearted. How could he not be like this since he was a child?”

Zhu Nanxian still ignored him.

Shen Xi’s eyes rolled, and he said in the center: “Thirteen, is Su Jin really a woman?”

Zhu Nanxian’s body was shocked, and he raised his eyes to stare at him.

Shen Xi raised his eyebrows and said, “This Su Jin is really strange.” He pushed Zhu Nanxian again and said, “Then I’m going to find her now, do you want to go together?”

Zhu Nanxian was stunned for a while, but he also stood up and said in a low voice, “If you don’t go, this prince is going back to the palace.” After saying that, he ignored Shen Xi and walked outside the East Palace.

Shen Xi pulled out a dog’s tail grass and stuffed it into his mouth to chew on it. He couldn’t stand his ignorance and couldn’t help provocatively saying, “Alright, you should go back to the house to reflect, otherwise you should change your mind. I was accused of getting married every day, and I couldn’t help myself, wouldn’t I be in despair?”

Liu Chaoming didn’t know where to take Su Jin.

She originally wanted to send her back to the capital’s yamen, but then she thought about it, there are dragons and snakes mixed together, how can she handle herself as a woman?

He wanted to take her back to the Metropolitan Court, but Zhu Minda had already guessed that she was a woman. What if the East Palace sent someone to take her away?

For the first time in his life, Liu Chaoming felt so forward and backward, and after thinking about it, he couldn’t help but look at Su Jin.

She was pulling the curtains and looking out.

The coat on his body is still that of Tan Zhaolin, and the coarse linen clothes are really annoying.

I don’t know how she came here alone all these years.

The clerk helped Liu Chaoming’s injury with good medicine, and the driver came in and asked, “Master Liu, are you going back to the palace?” Liu

Chaoming shook his head slightly: “Go back to the palace.”
