224 Qiu Shi returned to Beijing

These days, Yunzhen's face has always been black.

Qiu Shi has been pressed back to the capital.

Originally, Yunzhen wanted to use this fool's hand to do big things quietly and unconsciously. But I didn't expect that this fool not only didn't get things done, but made himself a prisoner.

Anyway, I have to go to see this guy first, at least I need to know what he said and didn't say anything.

It is not easy to meet Qiu Shi in theory. After all, this is a crime ordered by the emperor, but since Yunzhen has been secretly returned to the capital, Yunzhen can also get the news, which shows that it is not difficult for him to see Yunzhen.

However, it was better to communicate with the Empress Dowager about this matter. Yun Zhen thought about it and handed the sign to the palace first and entered the palace.

Since the matter of Jinse, Yun Zhen rarely came here. Suddenly, she heard that her son was going to go to the palace to say hi. The empress dowager was also very happy and ordered people to prepare tea and meals that Yunzhen loved.

After dispersing, Yunzhen changed his clothes and came to the Empress Dowager.

As soon as he entered the door, Yun Zhen was just about to greet the Empress Dowager. His mother put down the book in her hand, quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile.

"Are you busy with the previous events? Look, you're so tired that you've lost a lot of weight. The Empress Dowager said sadly, and then said to the palace people, "Go and prepare refreshments for the prince. I came early this morning, but I'm afraid breakfast hasn't been used yet.

"Thank you for your concern. My son is really a little hungry." Yunzhen said with a smile.

Looking at her son's smiling face, the Empress Dowager's heart thumped. You know, when you don't smile like this, I'm afraid something big will happen.

The Empress Dowager did not ask directly. At present, her palace is not safe, and there are not many trustworthy people. There are eyeliners arranged by the emperor everywhere. She just smiled and pulled Yun Zhen to sit beside her.

"Although you are in charge of the country, you should also cherish your body. The emperor believed you and handed over such a heavy burden to you, do you understand?"

"Yes, my son understands. There are too many things these days, and now I can understand the hard work of the emperor. The Empress Dowager seems to have been reduced recently. Yesterday, I heard from the palace people that the Empress Dowager has coughed a little at night, but it's better?"

"It's okay. Naturally, the body of my family is taken care of by the imperial doctors. Don't worry."

"That's good. Now in spring, it is inevitable to be a little dry and eat more light snacks.

This mother and son, you say a word, I say a word, just say some parent's short words, a harmonious look. After the palace people prepared a snack and Yunzhen also used some snacks, Yunzhen looked around and said to her mother, "Empress dowager, I also have days without the imperial garden. Although it is not the time when the flowers are in full bloom, the spring scenery is also good. I think the Empress Dowager should not go out for some days. Why don't Xiao Wang accompany the Empress Dowager to the imperial garden?

The Empress Dowager smiled. She really didn't make a mistake. Her son came over today and would never just talk about family affairs. She nodded and said, "It's okay. Recently, I've been very tired. I don't have anyone to accompany me, and I really don't like to go to the garden. Let's go for a walk today. Come back later. You can have lunch with the mourner before you go back.

"Yes."

Yunzhen smiled and got up with the empress dowager. When she walked all the way to the imperial garden, the mother and son were still talking about Yunzhen's family, and what Buddhist scriptures the empress dowager had read recently and added a few jewelry and other small things.

Slowly, Yunzhen and the empress dowager let the eunuch maid behind them stay away. At this time, Yunzhen whispered to the empress dowager, "This time the emperor went out, and his son arranged a play for him, but the play was not performed well, which made the emperor unhappy."

"Oh? Does the emperor know that you arranged this play? The Empress Dowager understood what Yunzhen meant and asked quickly.

"At present, we don't know what the emperor knows. However, last night, the protagonist of the play was sent back to Beijing by the emperor.

"I was caught!"

"Yes. My son didn't expect that the man was so useless.

Yunzhen frowned, looked at his feet, and sighed.

"Then find out if he has..."

"Xiao Wang hasn't gone to see it yet, but he is going to have a look tonight. I calculated that the emperor would be almost there in another three or five days. No matter what he said or nothing, I'm afraid this person can't be kept.

The Empress Dowager secretly looked at the palace people behind her, then nodded with a smile, took Yunzhen's hand, and patted gently, "You can do these little things by yourself. At such a age, as a mother, I won't interfere too much.

Yunzhen smiled and then continued to say, "I wanted to take back what I wanted in a beautiful way, but... It seems that my son's idea is still too talkative. However, if the Empress Dowager is free, I think she needs to contact the people around her.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Yes. It's also time. You don't have to worry about this. Although there are not many old people close to me now, my family has stayed in this palace for so long, and there are always people who can be trusted. I'm sorry to do this. The most urgent thing is to deal with that corner first.

"Yes."

"But this matter can't be too publicized... When I go back later, I'll get you something, which was left by little Deng before. Usage is also included in it. Take it back and have a look. You don't need it."

"Good." Yunzhen replied with a smile, and then stopped and said, "Empress dowager, it's windy today. Let's go back first."

......

At night, Yunzhen came to the door of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Yunzhen did not take a sedan chair or bring any attendants, but rode here alone.

Because he was wearing an all-black cloak and his hat was also very low, the gatekeeper did not see who the visitor was. He stretched out his hand and blocked him.

"Who is it?"

Yunzhen lowered his head and whispered, "Come and find the head of Xu."

The warder looked up and down at Yunzhen. He neither drove him nor informed him. Yunzhen understood that he was waiting for him to send them money. He sneered, took two pieces of silver from his arms, handed them up separately, and then added, "Please pass it on for me."

It is naturally easy to talk when you see silver, especially in this place where you can't die without silver.

In fact, he took it one by one, then took the silver into his arms and said, "Wait." Then, he turned around and walked in.

After about a column of incense, the head of the prison surnamed Xu came out with the gatekeeper.

"Yo, Wang..."

When Xu Zhen saw Yunzhen, he was busy thinking about saluteing him, but unexpectedly Yunzhen gave him a salute first.

"Mr. Xu, let me go in and meet you today."

There seems to be some kind of sadness in Yunzhen's words.

Head Xu understood what he meant. It seemed that Prince Xian didn't want anyone to know that he had been here. Understanding this meaning, Xu returned to his usual look, nodded and said, "Wang Xiao... You are pitiful. Let's go in today."

"Thank you, Master Xu."

With that, Xu's head led Yunzhen into the gate and walked towards the dungeon.

Seeing that there was no one left or right, Xu's head lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty..."

"You are still alert, and Xiao Wang is right about you. Don't talk too much. After going in and seeing people, I have something else to tell you.

Xu's head looked at the dress of the virtuous prince, thought for a moment, and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Yunzhen asked.

"Your Royal Highness, you are really a little... at first glance! Why don't you come to my room and change your clothes?

"What? Is it inconvenient?"

"Yes... Because the man was sent by someone from above, so at present, in addition to his own people here, there are also some soldiers who don't know where they are. You are coming quickly. If they see all the people here a few days later, it will be more difficult for you to think about it again.

Yunzhen thought for a moment and nodded. The two walked straight to Xu's room. Xu's head waited on Yunzhen to change the jailer's clothes, looked left and right, thought about it, and casually took a big red rouge from the table.

"Your Majesty, I'm offended."

"Isn't it okay?"

"Master, you are too heroic, I'm afraid... We have a child here, which is about the same height and size as yours, but there is a red mole on your face. Let's be wronged today..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can see people... but the child you mentioned..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, that child is my own nephew... He... is a little out of his mind... So... you don't have to worry about him talking nonsense."

Yunzhen was a little angry when he heard this, but he thought about it. Since he wanted to come here today, he knelt down and said goodbye, so he didn't have to trembling in the end. What if I just pretend to be a fool today?

He nodded and was pressed by Xu's head with rouge on his face. Sure enough, a palm-sized "red mole" appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, remember that when I call Wuzi later, I will call you."

Yunzhen nodded and said, "I remember. Let's go."

"Yes."

After letting Yunzhen change his makeup, the head of Xu took something from the table and picked it up by himself, which led Yunzhen to the dungeon.

At the place where he turned the corner, the head of Xu put the things in his hand to Yunzhen.

Yunzhen looked at it. There were kettles and bowls on it, and there were some coarse snacks.

With the leader of prison Xu, Yunzhen came outside the dungeon. Sure enough, he saw some officers and soldiers guarding outside the door with the war officials. As soon as he saw the head of prison Xu, the officer and soldier guarding the door asked, "Why did you come back so late?"

"Didn't your boss say that the one in it has to eat well and drink well. Don't be wronged. If there is a long and short story and wants us all to pay for our lives, how can I take it slowly? Well, I didn't eat a few bites of him for dinner. If I starve to death, I can't afford it."

The officers and soldiers looked at what Yunzhen was holding and got a silver needle from somewhere. They inserted it everywhere, whether in the water or on the snacks.

"Go in."

Xu Shou nodded and walked inside with a smile, and then didn't forget to say, "Wu Zi, follow."

"Hmm." Yunzhen only gave a hum, and then he was ready to follow up.

But when he made a mistake with the officers and soldiers, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Sht up."
