Chapter 310 Encounter
His mother liked peace and quiet, so she built this garden here.

After his mother passed away, Anlehou thought it was too far away and abandoned it.

And he often comes here to remember his mother and hide in peace.

Thirty years later, it was overgrown with weeds, and the small trees had grown into towering trees. He helped climb up the largest tree, lay on the branches and looked up at the sky.

Anle Houfu was also a military commander, and all the men in the family practiced martial arts, and Huo Jingnan was also a man of martial arts.

At this time, there were footsteps approaching from far away.

Huo Jingnan remained calm. He wanted to see who would come here.

The sight shocked him. She was actually the eldest maid of Mrs. Liang and her stepmother.

The two sneaked into the abandoned garden. After looking around, they faced the door and stood beside a flower bed.

"Why are you in such a hurry to come to me? It will be difficult to explain if someone finds out." Mrs. Liang said with a displeased look on her face.

"Don't worry, this garden has been abandoned for thirty years, and no one will come here. Sir, I want to ask you how things are going?" Yahuan said.

"It's almost here. Just tell the Lord and ask him to give me a little more time, and I will take over Anle Houfu as soon as possible." Madam Liang vowed.

"Hurry up, don't make the adults wait too long." The maid said coldly.

"Did something happen?" Liang asked.

"The great grandson of the Emperor has made many big moves recently. Your Excellency is worried that Night Long Meng will affect our plans, so he urges you to move faster." The maid explained.

"Anlehou is the grandson of the emperor. I'm worried that Anlehou will turn against you when the time comes." Mrs. Liang said with worry.

"What are you afraid of? Use your Yangzhou thin horse's ability to win over people, so that they can't live without you and will not be at your mercy? You have taken care of Anlehou, and the prodigal Prince Anlehou has become even easier. The rest of the people are not enough. Because of fear." The maid said contemptuously.

"Isn't there another eldest son? He is the direct uncle of the emperor's grandson." Madam Liang asked.

"That idiot is timid and fearful, and as stupid as a pig. Don't worry about him, he can't make trouble." The maid sneered.

Huo Jingnan hid in the tree and listened to them quietly. Regarding the maid's remarks, his mood was as calm as if someone were talking about the weather, without any ups and downs.

They probably talked for nearly half an hour before leaving.

After they left, Huo Jingnan slowly sorted out the news he had just received unexpectedly.

The stepmother's eldest maid has been in the house for five or six years. She is a spy sent by others.

This other person should be a certain prince.

Liang is a thin horse from Yangzhou and a spy specially arranged by a certain prince for his father.

The ancestor of Anlehou was also one of the military generals who followed Taizu to conquer the country. Apart from Zhenguo Gong, Anlehou was the second military general who had held military power and led troops to fight. There were many generals who followed him.

Some of the generals in the court were promoted by Duke Zhen Guo, and some were promoted by An Lehou. Most of the generals promoted by Duke Zhen Guo were in the capital, and after the last palace coup, they had been reduced by more than half. And there are several generals waiting for promotion in Anle who are guarding the border...

The more Huo Jingnan thought about it, the more frightened he became. If this matter was not handled well, there would definitely be a big problem, and it involved seizing the legitimate son, so he had to tell Chen'er.

He glanced at the sky. A crescent moon hung silently on the treetops, and the hazy moonlight gently illuminated the earth.

Huo Jingnan couldn't help but be slightly startled that it was so late.

I can only find a way to see Chen'er tomorrow.

The next day is the Dragon Boat Festival.

The yamen and major academies all had a day off, and a dragon boat race was held in Yonghe. Both sides of the river embankment were filled with people who came to watch the game.

Jingzhao Mansion dispatched all government officials to maintain order, and major aristocratic families placed parasols at designated locations for their female relatives to come and watch the dragon boat race.

Shen Jia, Gu and others also sat in their exclusive seats.

With the help of the maid, Huo Pingping went to where Shen Jia and the others were sitting. With a just right smile on her face, she generously greeted Gu and others.

Mrs. Gu was a little confused as to when they had become so familiar with Anle Houfu.

Doubt was doubtful, but it didn't show on his face. He smiled and said, "Miss Huo, please sit down!"

"Thank you, madam!" Huo Pingping sat down next to Shen Jia.

Then he whispered in Shen Jia's ear: "Cousin, my dad has something urgent to tell my cousin. See if you can tell him for help."

If Huo Jingnan wanted to continue to maintain his stupid-as-a-pig persona, he couldn't be exposed to the public too early, and he couldn't approach Xiao Yichen openly.

Xiao Yichen went to the palace at around nine o'clock every day and usually came back at night. It was really difficult for Huo Jingnan to see him.

Huo Jingnan originally wanted the Crown Princess to tell him, but unfortunately the Crown Princess did not come to watch the dragon boat race today, so he had to ask Huo Pingping to ask Shen Jia for help.

Shen Jia glanced at Huo Jingnan on the other side of the male family and saw a trace of anxiety in his eyes. He nodded and whispered: "After the dragon boat is over, ask your father to come directly to this house..."

Huo Pingping glanced at Shen Jia with complicated eyes. As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jia thought of the perfect solution.

Fortunately, she was woken up quickly by her father, otherwise she would have played with him till he was dead.

Shen Jia pretended not to notice the strange look in her eyes. That house was the liaison station in the north of the city, and there were only two servants in it. Knocking on the door requires a code to enter.

Huo Jingnan must be in such a hurry to find Xiao Yichen because of something big, otherwise he would not risk having his disguise discovered by letting Huo Pingping come to her.

Since the matter is urgent, it must be treated at the highest level.

After Shen Jia agreed, Huo Pingping saluted Gu and the others before leaving.

She is a completely well-educated and good girl.

When Mrs. Anlehou saw this, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she secretly thought: This little bitch, who rarely goes to her place during this period of time, has turned into a dignified lady.

She glanced sideways at the carefree Mr. Wei and asked, "Mr. Wei, why are Ping'er going to the Duke Protector's Mansion?"

Mrs. Wei blinked her big innocent eyes and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know either, she must be talking about some private things about the girl in her boudoir!"

After Huo Jingnan's warnings day and night, Wei was no longer the person who could see through it at a glance.

"When did Ping'er's relationship with Princess Huguo become so good?" A trace of doubt flashed in Mrs. Anlehou's eyes.

Mrs. Wei said helplessly: "This daughter-in-law doesn't know either."

"How do you become a mother? You don't even know who your daughter is friends with?" Mrs. Anlehou scolded.

Huo Pingping came back just in time to hear this sentence, and she was very angry: This old woman really didn't care about her mother's face at all. She scolded her mother in front of so many people around her. It shows that she doesn't regard their family as one at all. Something happened.

Although she was filled with hatred in her heart, she didn't show it on her face. She stepped forward with a smile and saluted, "Grandma, don't blame mother. My granddaughter also hit it off with Princess Protector at the palace yesterday. When she saw her today, she went over to fight with her." Hello."

Wei narrowed her eyes slightly and looked Huo Pingping up and down: "We felt like old friends at first sight? How could you two?"

Huo Pingping clenched her fists to prevent her emotions from showing, and her smile did not reach her eyes: "Princess Huguo is very good. It was my granddaughter who misunderstood her in the past."

"The Emperor is here." Someone shouted.
