Ci Jinzhi Chapter 275

As soon as Emperor Xingyuan said these words, He Qingxiao couldn't help but look at Xin You.

Xin You lowered her head slightly and did not look in his direction.

"Xin Daizhao, please go back first. I have something else to tell the envoy of Hezhen."

"Yes." Xin You stepped back and stepped out of the palace door. After all, she couldn't help but glance at He Qingxiao.

What she saw was the back, tall and tough, like a pine or a bamboo.

 “Xin Daizhao, be careful at the threshold.” The chamberlain who escorted Xin You out whispered a reminder as a sign of goodwill.

Emperor Xingyuan's move of leaving Xinyou to observe the proceedings today certainly affected not only the courtiers, but also the servants.

“Thank you very much.” Xin You smiled and thanked her.

　　When trying to make a living in the palace, it was almost instinctive for the chamberlain to express his kindness, but he did not expect to receive a response.

He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but lower his head. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

In the palace, He Qingxiao was still kneeling.

"Qingxiao, you know how much I value Xin Taizhao. This trip to the south coincides with frequent floods. I hope you will put Xin Taizhao's safety first in everything you do. If something happens to him, do you know the consequences? ?”

Emperor Xingyuan's tone turned cold, revealing a warning.

He Qingxiao calmly replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. If anything goes wrong, I will never live alone."

Emperor Xingyuan nodded with satisfaction, and the next step was to discuss the number of guards to take, the route of travel, and various details.

“Don't relax when investigating the affairs of those old ministers.”

"It has been arranged that there will be someone responsible for the minister when he is not in the capital."

As the envoy of Jinlin Weibei Town, He Qingxiao often travels to the capital on errands, and his departure will not affect the operation of the Bei Town Fusi.

Previously, He Qingxiao went to Dingbei to investigate the corruption case. Emperor Xingyuan listened to the words of the **** Sun Yan and asked Xiao Lengshi, the then Nanzhen envoy, to temporarily take over. In fact, he suspected that He Qingxiao had a personal relationship with Miss Kou, so there was an honest reason for the substitution. Questioning Miss Kou about the whereabouts of Mr. Songling.

 After leaving the palace, He Qingxiao first returned to Fusi, Beizhen to arrange for his entourage, and then returned to Changle Marquis Mansion.

 “The Marquis wants to accompany Mr. Xin to pick up the Queen's coffin and bring it to Beijing?”

After hearing what He Qingxiao said, Aunt Gui clasped her hands together and said, "Mr. Xin has such filial piety, and the Queen is happy that she is alive in heaven."

She had secretly gone to Tianjie to see Mr. Xin a long time ago. He was really a good and handsome boy.

It's a pity that in her current capacity, she approached rashly for fear of getting into trouble, so she had to endure it. She didn't expect that the Marquis could accompany Mr. Xin on his trip.

Aunt Gui lived deep in the Hou Mansion and didn't know about the floods in the south. She was only happy to learn the news: "The Marquis will take good care of Mr. Xin and himself. When the Marquis returns to Beijing, the wine brewed by the slaves will be ready. When the time comes, the Marquis will take it to Mr. Xin to have a taste."

She thought that the Marquis and Mr. Xin were not familiar with each other now. They had known each other day and night, and they would definitely be familiar with each other when they returned to Beijing.

 “When will the Marquis leave?”

 “We will leave the day after tomorrow.”

She will leave the day after tomorrow, and time is very tight, but this is to take the late Queen's coffin to Beijing. Naturally, Aunt Gui will not say anything, but only thinks of one thing: "The Marquis said earlier that he would ask the slave to make crispy duck during the holiday. This I have to go out before the day is up."

Aunt Gui's tone was full of regret.

Mr. Marquis is not a greedy person. He mentioned crispy duck several times and specifically asked her to make it during the holidays. He must have made an appointment with Miss Kou, but it was a pity that he had to miss it.

Damn it, God doesn't want Mr. Hou to get out of singleness, right?

He Qingxiao saw Aunt Gui's face full of pity and said with a smile: "On the day I go out, Aunt Gui will make a portion and I will take it with me to eat on the way."

After hearing this, Aunt Gui not only did not feel happy, but showed an expression that was hard to explain.

So there's no such thing as Miss Kou, it's just that the Marquis wants to eat it?     She has misunderstood God.

 “Aunt Gui?”

“I know.” Aunt Gui walked away with a straight face.

Xin You returned to the Hanlin Academy and did not rush back to his residence after leaving the Yamen. He deliberately waited on Duan Shaoqing's only way home.

Duan Shaoqing walked here with several colleagues and saw Xin You at a glance.

Unlike when he first knew Xin Daizhao was his niece Kou Qingqing and wanted to rush to her to ask her questions, Duan Shaoqing, who had calmed down, avoided Xin You.

Whether this girl is a real niece or not, what he has to do is to pray that this girl doesn't reveal her secret, instead of getting in front of her to attract other people's attention.

Duan Shaoqing turned his face, pretending not to notice and walked forward, when he heard a voice calling: "Duan Shaoqing."

Duan Shaoqing gritted his teeth.

If he is at fault, let a lightning strike strike him, and he will die happily instead of suffering such frightening torture.

Duan Shaoqing still wanted to pretend not to hear, but his sleeve was pulled by a colleague on the side: "Brother Duan, Xin Daizhao is calling you."

　Duan Shaoqing: “…”

This day is really impossible to live through!

Xin You came over and held up her hands to Duan Shaoqing: "When I was a low-ranking official, I was fortunate to be taken care of by Miss Kou. I heard that Duan Shaoqing was Miss Kou's uncle, so I came here to see her."

Under the gaze of countless people, Duan Shaoqing forced a smile and said, "Xin Daizhao is being polite."

Xin You walked up to Duan Shaoqing naturally and asked in a casual tone: "Is Mr. Duan going home?"

Others saw the two walking together and kept their distance.

“Yes—” Duan Shaoqing squeezed out one word and asked in a low voice, “What are you going to do?”

"I'm going on a long trip the day after tomorrow." With a flawless smile on her face, Xin You whispered the purpose of coming to see Duan Shaoqing, "As for Miss Kou, please take care of me, Mr. Duan."

Duan Shaoqing couldn't help but darken his face. He smiled again when Xin You's eyes reminded him: "Are you crazy?"

“Master Duan, please don't tell me whether you have these things or not. I just want to let you know.”

Duan Shaoqing's expression was distorted for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "What if the eldest princess wants to see you? What if the emperor wants to see you? What if the queen mother wants to see you?"

Oh my God, after saying this, I realized that this girl had provoked so many noble people when she was still Kou Qingqing!

Duan Shaoqing's eyes turned black and he had the urge to faint.

"Just say I'm sick. I believe Master Duan will always find a way."

 “It's easy to leave thanks to the imperial edict.” Duan Shaoqing barely maintained his composure. When his colleagues came over to express his envy, he felt helpless.

Emperor Xingyuan did not want to hide the news that Xin Daizhao was going to personally pick up the coffin of the late empress. The news spread to many people the next day because he did not want to hide it.

 The ministers were waiting to go to court in the morning, so they gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the matter.

"He is trying to gain fame!" Mr. Deng Ge said with a serious face, "Mr. Zhang, this son is definitely not a peaceful person."

 Zhang Shoufu gently twirled his beard, but his expression was not surprising: "Given his status, An An is strange."

No matter what the ministers thought, there was nothing that could stop the son of a man from going to greet his late mother's coffin in person. Therefore, no one mentioned this matter in court today.

In the waiting hall, when he was about to leave the office, Hua Daizhao couldn't help but ask: "Xin Daizhao, are you leaving Beijing tomorrow?"

Xin You smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Hua Daizhao suddenly pulled the fortune teller Daizhao in front of her: "I just want to go out for safety. Xin Daizhao, do you want Brother Bu to divine a hexagram for you?" (End of this chapter)
