After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 103 Someone else?

In the carriage, Haitang and Qingtan were whispering about what color clothes could be worn with these pearl hair accessories.

Rong Peilan was thinking about what Xue Jinghe had just said.

Even though he was trying to anger her on purpose, his tone was too confident, as if he had foreseen the day when Ji Yunzhang would be in trouble.

Since your majesty ascended the throne, all persons related to the rebellion against the king have been thoroughly investigated.

Only Mu Chun is missing, and Xue Jinghe can't find any connection with him.

He was just as he appeared to be, the useless third son of the prime minister, who was not good at anything, civil or military, and only loved dealing with money.

The caravans traveled far and wide and their business was spread all over the country, and there were even merchant ships going out to sea.

But it was clear that on that day of the Ming Dynasty, Xue Jinghe was targeting not only Wei Chi, but also the Ji family. It was also the time when the rebel king was forcing the emperor to abdicate.

One link after another.

Rong Peilan pinched his brows. This imperial court might be more corrupt than he had imagined. If Ji Yunzhang joined the game now and did well, he would be a meritorious official who would go down in history. If he messed up, he would be a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people.

Ji Yunzhang came back from the military office and just dismounted at the door when he saw the carriage that the young lady in the mansion often used arrived.

He walked forward to greet her, and Rong Peilan was bending over and struggling to get out of the carriage.

As soon as Rong Peilan got out of the car, a pair of strong hands picked her up.

"You are so strange today. You stay indoors all day long, why do you want to go out for a walk?"

Ji Yunzhang put her down carefully.

Rong Peilan put her hands on her round belly. Since she took off her winter clothes, her belly looked even bigger.

"Maybe these two naughty little things want to go out."

The little thing in my stomach is not as fussy as before.

Ji Yunzhang supported Rong Peilan, and the two of them slowly walked towards Yuhui Garden.

Rong Peilan told everything that happened in Ruyifang.

Finally, he said, "I always feel that there is more to the rebel king's abdication than meets the eye."

Ji Yunzhang also frowned, "In fact, there is another very important person, Mu Chun has not been found yet. It's as if this person disappeared out of thin air."

"Mu Chun?" Rong Peilan frowned.

Suddenly she asked, "Has anyone seen Muchun's true face?"

Ji Yunzhang shook his head. "No, I haven't even seen the rebel king's attendants. I don't know where he came from."

"He needs a pass to leave the capital. Although this is not a difficult task, as long as he leaves the capital, he will always leave some clues behind."

"I have checked the entire Yanjing, and there is nothing. It is so clean that it seems as if this person's appearance was just an illusion."

Rong Peilan also frowned, "So weird?"

Ji Yunzhang nodded, "And the dog's death."

"The dog was always at the gate of the Shao residence. We followed the traces he left behind all the way to the Sansheng Lake in the west city, but then we lost track."

"The jade button that Gou'er has been holding tightly in his hand is something I have only seen on Xue Jinghe."

"So I infer that Gou'er must have seen Liuyan and Xue Jinghe meet. The word erased from the tree by the lake should be the word 'three', Xue Sanye, Xue Jinghe."

Rong Peilan pursed her lips, and suddenly a thought came to her mind.

"Could it be that rebelling against the king is just one of the moves?"

Ji Yunzhang suddenly stopped and looked at her.

"You mean, there's someone else?"

Rong Peilan said softly, "I don't know, but I always feel that some things are too incredible, as if all the processes have been laid out, just waiting for you to discover."

She added, "I don't know if your reminder to the Saint about brothers fighting and seizing titles worked, but if it worked, it has led to the current situation..."

She paused, "If there had been no warning, would he have been too... abandoned, or even poisoned." "After the saint dies, new struggles for power will emerge."

"Or, after the rebellion against the king succeeds, the court is purged, and the noble families are eradicated, this person will reap the benefits under the banner of clearing the court of officials."

Having said this, she shook her head slightly, "If that's the case, this person is too scary..."

Rong Peilan raised her eyes again. Ji Yunzhang's expression was too shocked. She put her hand on his arm and said, "I just guessed..."

Ji Yunzhang came back to his senses, held her hand and continued to walk forward, "No, your guess is necessary."

"If there really is someone else, we are in the open, and they are not only in the dark, but also unnoticed. I am afraid we won't even know when we will be destroyed."

At this point, his face darkened, "You must not tell anyone about this, not even to your mother."

Rong Peilan nodded, "I have been holding this matter in my mind for a long time. I felt something was wrong during the last palace coup."

Ji Yunzhang looked up at the sky. It was a clear, cloudless day, but he felt oppressed.

He lowered his head and touched the girl's belly.

"They haven't seen the beautiful mountains and rivers yet. They should be born in a peaceful and prosperous era! I will never let these pests destroy Daqi."

Rong Peilan looked at the resolute face of the man in front of her, and her heart softened.

For the first time, she felt grateful to Xie Shuning.

Such a good marriage was given to her with both hands, and I wonder if Xie Shuning is regretting it now.

-

The back garden of Wenyuanbo’s mansion.

Flowers are in full bloom in spring, and Lady Pei, the Earl of Bo, specially bought many rare and precious flowers for this spring viewing banquet.

It should have been a banquet that the ladies of various mansions and their children would rush to attend.

It was a nice spring banquet, but there were very few girls of marriageable age attending.

Pei was afraid that she would be depressed again. She had put a lot of effort into finding a suitable match for her son, but nothing was satisfactory.

The polo club was ruined by Liu Qiwei last time.

this time……

It turned out to be His Majesty.

Although His Majesty has issued an edict that there will be no selection of concubines for the time being, according to royal precepts, His Majesty will hold a general election within three years of ascending the throne.

Those who have girls of marriageable age in their families are probably going to have to wait for this election.

In addition to Rong Peilan, Zhong also brought Ji Huiwen and Zhao Yanlin from Uncle Ji's family.

Ji Huiwen and Zhao Yanlin are both of marriageable age.

According to Uncle Ji's ambition, Ji Huiwen should run for the election, and the focus of this spring viewing should be on Zhao Yanlin.

After Zhong took the three people to meet Pei, Ji Huiwen took Zhao Yanlin out to play.

Rong Peilan's six-month-old belly is now almost as big as others' eight-month-old belly.

She couldn't go anywhere and could only chat with Zhong and Pei.

Pei looked at Rong Peilan's belly, feeling both envious and worried.

"Sister Zhong, Yunzhang's wife is so pregnant and has traveled so long..."

Rong Peilan touched her belly and said, "Aunt, I want to give birth on my own. The imperial physician also said that I should move quickly now so that I can give birth when the time comes."

Mrs. Zhong, "The imperial physician comes to see her every day. It's better to let her relax now that she can still move around. When she gives birth, she will suffer a lot. I'm afraid it will take two months of confinement to make up for it."

"She will be bored enough for two months."

Pei could only feel jealous. Her son was the same age as Ji Yunzhang, and Xu Qifeng was a few months older. Other people's children were about to be born, but her son still had no one.
