Chen Jinghuai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after being reprimanded by his eldest brother, but since his eldest brother questioned it, it was time for him to introduce the following.
He quickly pulled his eldest brother and said, "Brother, I have something to discuss with you."
After saying that, he just waved his hand to let the kid who was grinding ink for his eldest brother go out first, and then waited until only his eldest brother and himself were left in the room.
He just whispered, "Brother, this matter really has nothing to do with the proprietress. In fact, I went to the pub recently to meet someone."
When Captain Chen heard this, he only glanced at him, and then he asked, "Who?"
"His Royal Highness King Jin." Zhao Yanzhen said softly.
Hearing this, Captain Chen obviously didn't believe it. "Prince Jin died in the Burning Company Camp. How could he still be alive? Don't be deceived."
Not wanting to follow Captain Chen's words, the door to the study room was suddenly pushed open.
Then a tall man wearing a black hat appeared at the door.
Captain Chen's eyes were naturally drawn to that person.
When Chen Duwei looked at him, the visitor only slowly took off the hat on his head. It was also at the moment when the hat was taken off that Chen Duwei realized that the person in front of him should have been dead there. King Jin in the midst of a fire.
"His Royal Highness King Jin?" Captain Chen called out Zhao Yanzhen's name after being stunned for a moment.
Then, without waiting for Zhao Yanzhen to speak again, Chen Duwei just patted his sleeves and immediately saluted Zhao Yanzhen.
When Zhao Yanzhen saw this, he quickly helped Chen Duwei up and said in a friendly manner, "Brother, why should we be polite between you and me?"
When Duwei Chen heard this, he subconsciously took a step back.
"The etiquette of a monarch and his ministers cannot be exceeded."
Zhao Yanzhen only smiled slightly when he heard this. He was not close to Duwei Chen. This eldest cousin was the same age as him. He had been stationed here with his second uncle early on, so they rarely bumped into each other in a year. noodle.
Due to the age gap and the long-term estrangement from each other, compared to Chen Jinghuai, who is only one year older than him and has a lot of contacts, it is not surprising that the relationship between them can only be maintained as a superficial relationship.
But despite this, his eldest cousin is obviously still a little concerned about his resurrection.
Zhao Yanzhen also took advantage of the situation and said, "Brother should be curious about why I appear here, right?"
Duwei Chen didn't speak, but his expression already answered the question.
Zhao Yanzhen then only thought about himself and said, "The last time the company camp was burned down, I saved someone and rushed out of the camp on horseback. However, people have been chasing me since then. After that, I fell off the horse and fell down the hillside."
"I was rescued by a village girl, but because I hit my head when I fell off the horse, I lost my memory for a while. It was not until recently that I remembered who I was."
After hearing Zhao Yanzhen briefly talk about his experience, Lieutenant Chen then said, "It would be a great joy for His Highness to come back. In this case, I think both His Majesty and the Queen will be very happy."
Then Duwei Chen only said again, "But since His Highness remembered his memory, why didn't he come directly to see Wei Chen? Instead, he made appointments with his younger brother at the Nanuojin Tavern again and again?"
I have to say that Captain Chen was very able to grasp the key points.
Zhao Yanzhen smiled slightly, "What the elder brother said is true, but I am helpless to do this. After all, the only ones I can trust are elder brother and Jinghuai."
"That day after the Fire Company camp was burned down, I was chased, but the pursuers were not the bandits from Black Eagle Mountain. Therefore, after that, I have been secretly investigating the matter."
As soon as he said this, Chen Jinghuai glanced at his elder brother secretly, and saw Captain Chen frown slightly. He only asked quietly, "I wonder what Your Highness has found out?"
Zhao Yanzhen only took out a gold token, and then asked the people around him to hand the token to Chen Duwei.
Just looking at the token, Captain Chen's expression turned grim.
"Where did you get this brand?" he asked.
"Of course they were found on the person who was chasing me that day." Zhao Yanzhen said calmly.
However, the impact of this token on Chen Duwei was obviously very serious. It was the token of Luan Yiwei. The only person who can instruct Luan Yiwei to take action is Mr. Jing, who accompanied Zhao Yanzhen last time.
.
But hasn’t the commander of Luanyi Guard always obeyed His Majesty’s orders?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the past month when all the members of the Chen family were executed on charges of treason.
At that time, he only felt that the eldest family of the Chen family was suicidal. After all, he had seen the face of the eldest family of the Chen family long before his father separated the family, and his friendship had been exhausted by the eldest family even then. .
Moreover, although Empress Min's position as queen was abolished that time, at least her aunt's life was preserved today, and their second wife was also comforted.
Therefore, he always felt that the Holy Emperor was clear about his grudges, but now that he heard King Jin's words, he couldn't calm down at the moment.
Could it be that His Highness can take action against his own son? But he soon convinced himself.
This is absolutely impossible!
However, after this, Zhao Yanzhen suddenly spoke again and said, "Brother must be very surprised when he sees this. I was also very surprised at the time. I really can't believe that the person who killed me has such an identity. Brother, if he is in this kind of situation, Under these circumstances, do you still want to send me back to Beijing?"
When Duwei Chen heard this, there was a hint of unbearability in his expression. Although the relationship between the second wife and the eldest brother of the Chen family was not good at that time, the younger aunt really had nothing to say to these juniors. Even his wife was taken care of by the younger aunt. arranged.
And Zhao Yanzhen is the son of his younger aunt, and if this incident is true, it is obvious that Zhao Yanzhen is innocent.
But if Zhao Yanzhen is chosen, what can he do?
Duwei Chen felt that his mind was in a mess for a moment. He obviously could not give Zhao Yanzhen an answer immediately. He only said, "I think there is some misunderstanding. Is it possible that these people are actually sent by the enemy?" ?”
Zhao Yanzhen naturally saw the wavering in Chen Duwei's eyes. People will always have feelings, and when they have feelings, they will have compassion. Once you show compassion, your faith will be shaken.
And this was his breakthrough.
However, Zhao Yanzhen didn't want to say anything to death. He never mentioned those words that could easily remind people of a deeper conspiracy. He just said indifferently, "What the elder brother said is not impossible, so I am investigating this matter. Before the results come out, I hope my eldest brother can take me in temporarily. Don't worry, eldest brother, I will not cause any trouble to you."
After hearing what Zhao Yanzhen said, Captain Chen finally nodded.
Chen Jinghuai was dumbfounded as he watched Zhao Yanzhen coax his elder brother into agreeing to keep the secret for him for the time being, and he couldn't help but secretly give Zhao Yanzhen a thumbs up.
The next day, when the sky was just beginning to fade, Chen Jinghuai had already left the room and headed straight to the outer courtyard.
Naturally, the two or three carriages loaded with items in the outer courtyard have also been arranged outside the street.
After Chen Jinghuai greeted the coachmen, he opened the curtain and prepared to enter the carriage.
However, just after the car curtain was opened, the movement of his hand was paused. He looked at the coachman beside him in surprise and said, "Hasn't she gotten in the car yet?"
The coachmen didn't know who Chen Jinghuai was talking about, so they just said, "Who is the young master talking about? Aren't you the only one who went to Beijing today?"
Chen Jinghuai immediately didn't bother to say anything more to the drivers. He had already made plans for today's trip. Yunzhou was vast and sparsely populated, and the towns were far apart. If he wanted to find a place to stay before dark, he could only... The earlier you start, the better.
Fortunately, he has always had the habit of getting up early.
So he got up before dawn.
Unexpectedly, he had told Song Chuchu to get up early yesterday, and Song Chuchu also promised that she would get up when he got up tomorrow. But now that he has gone out, he has not seen Song Chuchu yet. ..
However, he thought that girls usually have to take care of themselves a little more, so he stopped thinking for a while. He only whispered, "I am not the only one going to Beijing today, let's wait a little longer."
After saying this, he said to the coachmen, "Have you had breakfast?"
The coachmen naturally nodded along.
However, the weather in December is always cold, even though they are still in the county town, surrounded by buildings. But this cannot withstand the drafts and low temperatures in winter that come from time to time.
The few people then only waited on the carriage for a moment, but they did not see the other person coming from the young master's mouth, so they could not help but put their hands in the sleeves of their clothes, and at the same time
They themselves secretly jumped out of the carriage and only moved their hands and feet.
Although Chen Jinghuai was sitting in a carriage with charcoal fire, he didn't feel very cold.
But after waiting for a while, Song Chuchu didn't come, so he couldn't hold it any longer.
Someone happened to ask Chen Jinghuai, "Master, when can we set off."
Naturally, Chen Jinghuai could no longer control his temper. He just opened the car curtain, and then he jumped off the carriageway and said, "I'll call her!"
After saying this, Chen Jinghuai walked towards the inner courtyard with a gloomy face.
Because the Chen family members are all in the capital now, even the most wild-tempered fourth sister has moved into the capital.
Therefore, there are not many maids and servants in the west wing of the inner courtyard. If Song Chuchu had not been placed there last night, this place would have been gathering dust.
Chen Jinghuai strode towards the house where Song Chuchu was now.
Unexpectedly, now that they are facing the sun, Song Chuchu's door is still closed.
Chen Jinghuai couldn't help but knock heavily on the other party's door.
However, there was no response at all from the door. Chen Jinghuai then knocked on the door several times.
Seeing that no one came to open the door, and at this time he happened to see a maid passing by, so he grabbed the maid and said, "Have the people in this room gone out?"
The maid shook her head, "I didn't watch the young lady go out."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinghuai's face turned half dark again.
In other words, Song Chuchu might still not get up at this time.
However, his upbringing does not allow him to do anything too rude and outrageous.
Therefore, he only said to the maid, "Wake her up quickly for me. If we don't leave, it will be too late for us."
