Chapter 87 Hardship
After resting for half a day, Xiyu and his men finally recovered a little.
Xiyu carefully bandaged the wound, applied the good trauma medicine, and said to Ling Hua unwillingly, "Master, you should take the opportunity to kill the secret guards sent by Wen Qiliang. The secret guards sent by Wen Qiliang have also been searching for the whereabouts of the Second Prince nearby."
Ling Hua said, "First find the Second Prince. Wen Qiliang's people are not in a hurry, there will always be a time to settle the score with them."
The most urgent task now is to find Xiao Zhen.
Xiyu nodded and led people to search along one road pointed out by Ling Hua. Ling Hua took Liuli, Xiao Jin and others to search along the other road towards Hengchuan County.
In the capital, the emperor was waiting for the remarks for Xiao Zhen and Zhao Jiang, the Minister of Revenue, to solve the problem that the two of them should have arrived in Hengchuan County long ago, and the remarks for the remarks for the remarks should have come. But they have not come yet.
The emperor was waiting for the news about Lingshan that Wen Qiliang had inquired about. Although he knew that the news was not in a hurry, he was still thinking about it all the time. At the same time, he was waiting for Ling Hua's memorial. Ling Hua had been going to Jiangnan for half a month, and no news has been heard so far.
The emperor sighed to Eunuch Zhao, "How come the news is so slow?"
Eunuch Zhao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, after all, the journey is long."
The emperor came to Ling Hua and told him that he wanted to let Xiao Ze out and teach him for a while. However, after the incident between Rubin, Lipin, the fourth and fifth princes, he suspected that it was Xiao Ze's actions, so he delayed the matter.
Now it's been half a month.
He asked, "Crown Prince is honest now?"
Eunuch Zhao nodded, "I didn't hear anything happening in the East Palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is said to have been copying books and reading books."
Almost become a Buddha.
The emperor was quite satisfied, but he didn't say he could let Xiao Ze out.
In Changning Palace, the Empress Dowager said, "It has been more than half a month since Ling Hua left?"
"It's been sixteen days." Madam Sun remembered clearly.
The Empress Dowager said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is still 20 days away, and the wedding is still one month away. Ling Hua doesn't know if he can come back? But has the chaos in the Jiangnan canal transportation area been settled?"
Madam Sun didn't know this, and shook her head, "I asked Eunuch Zhao and said that Miss Ling has not sent a memorial to you so far, and Your Majesty is waiting for the news."
The Empress Dowager was worried, "It has been three years since the Jiangnan canal transportation. Your Majesty has not found a suitable person to replace Ling Hua. The civil and military officials in the court are all there to eat."
Madam Sun also sighed, "Miss Ling is capable and harder."
This is nothing to do.
The Empress Dowager couldn't sit still and said to her, "You go to Duanjing Hou Mansion to meet Yan Qing, and see what he has done recently? Ling Hua is not watching him in the capital, and the Ai family is really worried about him. By the way, I asked him, did Ling Hua write to him?"
Madam Sun knew that if she didn't go this trip, the Empress Dowager would not even be able to eat and sleep well. "I'll go now."
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Go quickly and bring him some snacks made in the palace."
Madam Sun should have sent someone to the imperial kitchen, brought some of the various snacks in the palace, and left the palace to Duanjing Hou Mansion.
In Duanjing Hou’s mansion, the banquet was just right.
When the housekeeper brought Madam Sun and a few eunuchs carrying baskets, Yan Qing had just woken up and was lying on the bench to wake up.
Hearing the movement, Yan Qing turned her head, saw Madam Sun, and immediately turned her head back and closed her eyes.
Yunluo: "..."
How disliked the little marquis, Madam Sun.
Madam Sun also sighed that every time she came, the little marquis pretended not to see her. She had been used to it all these years. She brought people to the front and greeted Yan Qing, "Little marquis."
The banquet is light and cannot be heard.
Madam Sun smiled and said, "I know you're awake."
Yan Qing still closed her eyes, as if she was asleep.
Madam Sun talked directly to herself and said, "The Queen Mother ordered me to come and see if you have a good life these days? Is there any good fortune? I ordered me to bring you snacks from the palace to you. How many of them are your favorite food? Also, the Queen Mother asked me to ask, Miss Ling, can you write to you?"
I don’t know if Ling Hua’s name works or if the last sentence worked, Yan Qing opened her eyes and looked at Madam Sun, “Grandma is so old, why are you so worried? Didn’t I say that I’m worried about getting old quickly? She is so beautiful, and now she is not afraid of getting old soon?”
Madam Sun smiled, "The Empress Dowager is worried that you are alone, you are unhappy."
Yan snorted.
"After you answering me, I will not be in front of you, and leave immediately." Madam Sun knew Yan Qing's temperament and picked up what he loved to hear.
Sure enough, Yan Qing immediately said, "I'm very good. Every day, I'm eating, drinking and playing. What can I do? Grandma's grandmother was too worried and asked her to worry less. After Dian Dim, Ling Hua didn't send me a letter."
After he said that, he waved his hand, "My grandma!"
Madam Sun got the words, but she did not say anything, leaving His Highness behind and resigned from Duan Jinghou Mansion.
The housekeeper sent Madam Sun away and laughed as usual, "Our little marquis is this kind of personality. If the Empress Dowager wants to know something in the future, there is no need for the Madam to come here in person, and just send a little eunuch to ask."
Madam Sun smiled and shook her head, "The Empress Dowager sent no matter who she came here, for fear that the little eunuch would not see the little marquis. Only I would come in person. As long as the little marquis is in the mansion, I would not hide from me."
The butler thought about it and smiled helplessly, "Thank you so hard for nanny."
"The family doesn't speak two families. As long as the little marquis is good, the empress dowager will be fine, and I will be fine." Madam Sun looked at the housekeeper and lowered her voice, "Miss Ling really didn't send a letter to the little marquis? She has been away for sixteen days."
The housekeeper shook his head, "No. Maybe the Jiangnan canal transport is too far away, the letter has not arrived yet! Or maybe the Jiangnan canal transport is too difficult, Miss Ling didn't take time to write a letter."
The housekeeper felt that the reason behind this was untenable and he had no time to write a few sentences. It should be that the journey was too far and the letter had not arrived yet.
Madam Sun also felt that she was on the way, "Then I'll come back in a few days."
She explained, "The Empress Dowager is worried that Miss Ling will delay her wedding with the little marquis. She has been thinking about the progress of Miss Ling's canal transportation in Jiangnan. The Mid-Autumn Festival is still 20 days away, and she will be married in one month. The Empress Dowager is anxious. You know, the Empress Dowager is looking forward to Miss Ling's wedding with the little marquis every day, but this year is a troublesome autumn, and something happened to the Jiangnan canal transportation stall."
"Not." The housekeeper was also anxious, "I hope Miss Ling will resolve the chaos in Jiangnan canal transportation soon and come back soon."
Otherwise, the empress dowager in the palace was anxious, Duan Jinghou’s mansion was anxious, and the third son of the Ling family might be anxious.
After seeing off Madam Sun, the housekeeper walked back, thinking while walking, the little marquis came back from Mr. Cheng's house for a few days and didn't like to go out to drink. These days, he really stayed in the house obediently. He teased the cockatoos every day, walked the sweat-blooded BMW, and cooled under the grape trellis. More than ten days passed in a flash.
This day is so fast.
Yan Qing asked Yun Luo, "How long has she been gone?"
Yunluo remembered clearly like the Queen Mother, "The master has been gone for sixteen days."
Yan Qing rarely cared about the Jiangnan canal transportation. "Is the chaos in Jiangnan canal transportation very difficult?"
Yun Luo thought that it was not a difficult matter for the Jiangnan canal transportation chaos, but the second prince's disappearance. This was a big deal for the master.
After the master left that day, he returned to the Ling family on the order of the young marquis to meet the third prince. The third prince naturally told him the truth, but repeatedly told him that he would not tell the young marquis. Therefore, he could only say that the Jiangnan canal transportation was a bit tricky, so he could only go there himself.
So, now Yun Luo nodded, "It's very tricky."
Yan Qing stared at Yun Luo, "She has been in charge of Jiangnan's canal transportation for three years and has made the solid soup of Jiangnan's canal transportation. What kind of chaos has made her hurry to Jiangnan's canal transportation?"
"It was the trouble that the prince of the East Palace had been asking for." Yun Luo said.
Anyway, the prince of the Eastern Palace did take the opportunity to cause some trouble. Although it was not a difficult thing, there were people who were dealing with those troubles. However, the people who transported the canal in Jiangnan are not the master himself, but the substitute arranged early in the morning.
There is nothing wrong with this matter being pushed to the prince.
Yan Qing laughed, "Xiao Ze, who is not clear-headed, will sooner or later lose his position as the crown prince. At least your master is doing things that benefit the country and the people, but what is Xiao Ze doing? Opposing your master is to drag the court back. Your Majesty is still locking him in the mansion and thinking about his mistakes. He should have kept him in his arms."
Yun Luo nodded, "The little marquis is right."
"Why she is so busy that she doesn't even have time to send a memorial back to Beijing?" Yan Qing didn't want to admit that he was waiting for her letter.
Yun Luo glanced at Yan lightly and said with thought, "My master is so busy that he can't eat or sleep."
