Shu Blossoms

Chapter 52
The moonlight on the mid-autumn night was exceptionally bright. Zheng Wei stood in front of the window lattice of the side hall and looked up at the night sky, sighing, it was almost time.

The other people in the main hall of Xianyang Palace have gradually calmed down. The nobles have not received any news of Fu's remnants entering the capital before, so they began to think that this was Emperor Zhou's strategy of changing the warm water to boil frogs, like dealing with Fu's family. Using thunder to deal with the nobility, everyone guessed which Zhou Emperor was going to use, or...

Everyone felt more at ease when they saw that Wang Can, who was born in the Wang family of Langya, made Wang Can sit firmly on Mount Tai.

Now in the past two hours, I haven't seen any action from Emperor Zhou, but his face is getting darker and darker, thinking that there is something to do with Yu Nie's assassination.

Even if Emperor Zhou had other plans, the families must have received the news for a long time, and if they were detained in the palace for a long time, the capital would inevitably fall into chaos, and even cause a mutiny.

Emperor Zhou still does not have the strength to fight against all the nobles, and he cannot bear the consequences.

Just as everyone became calmer and calmer, Tuobayu became more and more anxious, and it had been delayed for two hours. If the plan for tonight failed, it would be difficult to leave in the future.

In order to keep himself from attracting the attention of others, Tuobayu took a sip from the wine cup in front of him, and naturally glanced at everyone in the hall.

Seeing that Xie Sheng, the eldest son of Xie Hui, the governor of Jingzhou, was drinking alone and not talking to anyone, Tuo Bayu couldn't help but glanced at him curiously. Xie Sheng was acutely aware that someone was watching, and looked over quickly and alertly.

Tuoba Yu could clearly see the panic in the other's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile as he picked up the wine glass and toasted a glass and drank it with a smile.

At the beginning of the month, Han Daoyuan and Xie Hui both returned to Jiujiang and Jingzhou respectively. Today, Emperor Zhou specially gifted the four princes of the Han family who stayed in Beijing and Xie's parents to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet for their father.

This kind of honor is only available to the Han Xie family, who are the auxiliary ministers.

I just don't know, who will be missing from the audience tonight?

As expected, at the beginning of Zi Shi Chu, Commander Yue hurried in and whispered in Emperor Zhou's ear: "Every family in the capital has sent people to guard the gate of the palace, and the nobles have sent several waves out. In the inner city, Guanglu Temple can’t hold it anymore.”

Zhou Di was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and then asked in a deep voice, "Have you been found?"

"Not yet, the man disappeared as soon as he entered the palace, there should be someone in the palace to help."

Commander Yue Qi bowed his head in shame.

"Since he is hiding, then find a way to hide him! Open the palace gate and let all the ministers and family members return to the palace..." Zhou Di stared at Yue Qi with majestic eyes, his voice was calm with a hint of chill; " Strictly investigate!"

"Here!"

The more Qi took the lead.

Soon Gao Han led the little prisoner to pass the decree, and the officials and family members of the government could return to the government.

After leaving the Xianyang Palace, there are three palace gates to go to the gate of the palace city. Each palace gate has a team of guards, holding the roster to check the personnel of each family.

When Zheng Wei's family got out of the palace city and boarded the carriage of Zheng Mansion, it was the end of the child's life. The Zheng family's father and son were three in a carriage, and Zheng Wei was in the same carriage with his grandmother and mother.

Before the carriage could go out, there was a commotion in front of it, and soon a dozen guards surrounded Xie Hui's eldest son, Xie Sheng, and entered the deep palace.

Looking from the carriage, the moonlight fell on the hurried back, so desolate and desolate, Zheng Wei felt that he might never get out again.

The wind and rain are coming, and the building is full of wind, and Jiankang City, which has been stable for less than a year, is about to set off another bloody storm!

Zheng Wei half-squinted and leaned against the wall of the carriage, his body swaying gently with the carriage.

The eldest princess thought she was too tired and sleepy to fall asleep, so she gently covered her with a thin blanket, and touched her little face distressed.

Mrs. Zheng looked at her granddaughter's gratified Princess Tongchang and said, "Our girl has grown up, and she has become more comprehensive in seeing things, and she is very calm in her work. There is no escape from the past, and I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing."

The carriage went out of Xuanyangmen all the way to the west, and when it was about to reach the sixth bridge, they suddenly heard a heart-breaking cry. Everyone was shocked, and quickly dived to get out of the car to check, only to see a street across the street. The smoke billows from the West Market, and from time to time, flames can be seen flying into the sky.

Soon a servant came to report: "Mrs. Hui, the West Market has gone into the water, and there is chaos over there. This place is too close to the West Market. I was afraid that someone would run into the carriage and ram the carriage. The master ordered to hurry back to the house."

"Is there someone in the government to deal with?" Mrs. Zheng asked as she returned to the carriage.

"Back to the old lady, someone has already reported to Jingzhao Mansion, and soon someone will come to deal with it, and everyone has heard the news and rushed to put out the fire."

After listening to the servant's reply, Mrs. Zheng and the others returned to the carriage with confidence.

When the carriage passed a narrow alley, the roaring flames of the West Market at the end of the alley could be seen far away.

Suddenly, a baby cry came, and although it was hidden in the surrounding noise, Zheng Wei still caught it clearly.

She jumped out of the carriage and ran in the direction from which the crying came.

"Wei'er!" "Where are you going?"

Madam Zheng and the eldest princess were shocked and hurriedly asked.

"Grandmother, mother, I'll go back when I go, you go back first!"

Zheng Wei only shouted and ran into the dark alley opposite.

Zheng Heng, who was in the carriage in front, heard the movement and came out, just in time to see Zheng Wei's figure flashing past, and followed after him.

Madam Zheng was so anxious that she hurriedly sent servants to chase them.

Besides, Zheng Wei entered the alley only to find that there was no one there. It was Zheng Heng who chased after him and opened his mouth to ask her, but she stopped him with his eyes.

Zheng Wei listened carefully, the sound was very small, it should have turned into the street in front, and there was a faint sound of running, a chaotic sound.

The other footsteps were light and barely noticeable, Zheng Wei felt in a trance that the voice was not what she heard, but what she imagined.

Without hesitation, Zheng Wei ran over at the fastest speed, followed by Zheng Heng.

Soon they came to Qian Street and saw a figure in the middle of the street who was slowly raising the knife in his hand and slashing at the person on the ground.

Before they could see who the people on the ground were, Zheng Wei and Zheng Heng shouted at the same time, "Stop!"

The figure was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the Zheng Wei brothers and sisters.

But the man quickly reacted, and the long knife in his hand chopped down faster.

Zheng Wei ran wild, she only hated that the distance was too far, her arm strength was not enough, and the short thorn in her hand could not hit the opponent at all.

The figure on the ground was also alert. While the person on the other side was stunned, he took a deep breath, rolled the baby in his arms to one side, and avoided the attacking long knife.

At this time, Zheng Wei and Zheng Heng were about to approach, and the man could only turn around and run away before he could make a second slash.

Just as Zheng Wei was about to pursue her, Zheng Heng grabbed her and said anxiously, "Look at the child, brother, go after her!"

Having said that, it has been pursued.

Zheng Wei then hurriedly stepped forward to help the person on the ground, and then the moonlight could vaguely see that it was a girl younger than herself, holding a less than one-year-old baby in her arms.

 I ran for a day, plus Calvin, sorry for the late
