Reborn! The terminally ill prince has taken a fancy to me again

Chapter 199 Snooping
……

Sunny, wind chill.

The sun was hanging high, shining brightly with a bit of warmth, Hua Zuili stretched out her hand to untie the heavy fox fur cloak on her body, and as soon as she pulled off the tether, she suddenly felt a gaze directly on her.

A certain person who was sitting and reading a book had already put down the bamboo slip in his hand at some point, and now he was dragging his head and slightly raised his eyebrows to look at her. The movement of taking off the cloak in a drunken way stopped in vain. The one who regrets must be herself.

She wrapped her cloak tightly again and coughed lightly: "When will we arrive?"

"Soon." Mei Zhuoxue withdrew her gaze, picked up the bamboo slips again with regret, and looked, "We are businessmen this time, and if we travel too fast, people will be suspicious, and Fu Chengfeng also needs it." Time, our progress too fast may not be a good thing."

Hua Zuili lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the yellow sand all around, and a group of people pretending to be a caravan, and sighed softly.

Stopping and walking along the way, after half a month, the red-patterned plaque of "Shangjing" appeared in front of my eyes.

"Stop and ask questions as usual!"

As soon as they approached the gate of the city wall, officers and soldiers came to intercept them. They inspected the carriage and the accompanying team one by one. The leading officer and soldier turned his attention to the simple carriage in the front: "Who are there, hurry up, come down!" take inspection!"

"Officer." The coachman hurriedly got down and bowed his hands and said, "The people sitting in the car are all my master and wife. Madam is not in good health, so it's not convenient for you to come down. You can see if it's convenient... Look at this cold weather. , you save this little money to buy some wine for the brothers, let's make friends."

The leader stretched out his hand to weigh it, put it in his arms and said in a low voice: "Look, you are also a good man, so you might as well tell you the truth, the people above are restless now, one will deal with this today, and the other tomorrow. A lot of people died, if you have nothing special to do, don’t go to Beijing to save trouble.”

"Thank you for the reminder, but my master's business is related to the survival of the family, so I have to go in. Look at this..."

"Tch, I really want money rather than life."

The chief officer saw the person sent by his subordinates come back, shook his head, and he raised his hand to signal to let him go.The carriage slowly entered the city, and Hua Zuili raised a corner of the curtain to look out at the street, the red tiles and gray walls, people coming and going, still as familiar as in memory, but the forbidden soldiers going back and forth on the street also made the people nervous In chaos.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a tea house.

Hua Zuili watched as Mei Zhuoxue put the dummy skin that Bei Chen made earlier onto her face bit by bit, and then put on the veil for her with her own hands.

"Come on, ma'am, it's time for us to go down."

Mei Zhuoxue took her by the hand and slowly got out of the carriage, the waiter who came to receive her rushed forward to welcome them respectfully and invited them to the private room on the second floor.

After closing the door, Mei Zhuoxue pushed open the carved window near the inner side, took out a piccolo from her cuff, and played a few out-of-tone verses lightly. Kneeling in front of them on one knee, his eyes seemed to be wet, he looked at Mei Zhuoxue and said, "Your Highness, I finally saw you."

"Get up, Beixing, you have worked hard during this time." Mei Zhuoxue looked at him and was also very emotional. She reached out to help him up, and then patted him on the shoulder. "How is Beisi now? And the situation in the court, what do you want?" Don't say a single word, and explain everything to Gu clearly."

"Yes."

Beixing told all the events of Tianhe in the past six months, even a certain official took in a few new concubines, whose child had passed the full moon, which merchant went out to steal food and was beaten by his wife with a broom The street...it couldn't be more detailed.

Hua Zuili softly "tsk tsk" twice, if she was not convinced that no one would dare to pretend to be a member of Beisi, she would really have to weigh this person in front of her.

"...That's basically it." Bei Xing naturally sensed Hua Zuili's amazed attitude towards him, and his left eyelid couldn't help twitching. He's not gossip, these are tasks, tasks! ! !
"It sounds like a lot of tricks that the imperial aunt can't come up with, or is Gu forgetting something special, Zuizui, do you need to add some more?" Mei Zhuoxue turned around and held Hua Zuili's arm , and seemed to unintentionally block the sight of her colliding with Bei Xing.

How could Hua Zuili not know his jealousy, she smiled and did not point it out, followed his words and said: "No, what is the chronic poisoning of the saint and house arrest of the fifth princess, it doesn't sound like the order from the eldest princess, but Or maybe we've been away for too long, and maybe the Eldest Princess' temperament has changed."

"So speaking of it, we still have to explore." Mei Zhuoxue raised her hand and rolled up the broken hair around her ear very affectionately.

Hua Zuili grabbed his hand that was teasing her earlobe, and held it tightly in her hand to prevent him from being presumptuous: "The reason is the same, but no matter how we try to find out, unless we see it with our own eyes, we will never be able to eliminate the doubts in our hearts." .”

"That's right." Mei Zhuoxue nodded in agreement, and her eyes fell on Bei Xing who was next to her.

Bei Xing understood, lowered his head and said, "Nowadays, the gate of the palace is heavily guarded, and it is really difficult to sneak in without anyone noticing, but... every once in a while, the palace will send all the eunuchs out to buy, maybe we can take this opportunity go in."

"When will the whole father-in-law come out to buy?"

"According to the days, it will be three days later."

Mei Zhuoxue nodded, and said: "Okay, order the people in Beisi to continue to hide, and no one should act rashly without Gu's order."

"Yes." Bei Xing responded, and disappeared immediately in a flash.

"Drunk..."

"Don't worry, I know." Hua Zuili interrupted his next words, "When Beixing's investigation is over, I will find a way to sneak into the palace to see what happened."

Mei Zhuoxue smiled, held her playful outstretched index finger in her hand, and said: "Those who know me are drunk. But investigation is important, and your safety is more important. I will let the insiders lurking in the palace protect you." You, if there is any situation, come back immediately, understand?"

"Don't worry, I understand."

……

Three days passed in a flash.

There is a constant flow of people on the street, and the sound of buying and selling is one after another.

A man in a dark blue robe and satin walked hurriedly. Every time he talked with someone, he deliberately lowered his voice. His steps were thin and fast, and he behaved in an orderly manner like a steward from a rich family.

"Godfather, all the nobles have almost bought their needs, should we go back to the palace... Ouch!"

Behind the dark blue robe satin, the young servant in plain robe held his head and let out an 'ouch', and raised his head aggrieved, as if he didn't quite understand why he was being beaten.

Eunuch Quan raised his orchid finger, then retracted it after a second thought, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Little bastard, what are you talking about in the palace of the nobles? It's so chaotic now, and the trouble comes from your mouth, do you know that, huh?!"
