Chapter 120 Liu’s daughter…

Xu Boqing walked on the streets of Beijing with a frown on his face...

In the past, Daliang's luck manifested itself, whether it was the assassination of Emperor Yonghe, the holding of water and land rituals, or the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, the intensity of the turmoil in the country could be seen at a glance...

But now this luck suddenly disappeared...

How could he not be surprised?

Because there have been frequent mysterious cases in the capital in recent times, and it is under the emperor's feet, not to mention the inspection department, but also the above-mentioned criminal department, Jin Yiwei, Dali Temple and other law enforcement and trial departments are under great pressure...

Therefore, many well-known arrests in the industry were dispatched from all over Daliang to cooperate in the investigation of these mysterious cases...

And after he walked around the capital roughly, he could clearly feel that the security in the capital today is much stricter than when he left the capital...

Although it is not as exaggerated as one guard at three steps or one sentry at five steps, it is still common to see soldiers wearing armor and holding knives patrolling along the streets...

He stood on the street with slightly focused eyes...

Just now, when I was looking for the reason for the disappearance of Daliang's luck, my Tianmu Fayan had vaguely noticed the appearance of several very obscure evil spirits.

It's just that the other party either lives in a house or an inn, and his whereabouts are well hidden. It's not easy to find him, so he doesn't pay much attention...

Then I thought again...

There is still more than a year left before the Water and Land Dharma Conference is held, but it has attracted so many ghosts, ghosts and snakes...

Moreover, the first batch of people who came were either stupid and ignorant, or they were self-sufficient and profound...

There must be quite a few people like Zhu Sisi who are hanging around the capital to gather information!

Then what kind of scene will it look like when the Water and Land Dharma Conference is held?

Does the lack of luck in Daliang have something to do with these ghosts and ghosts?

Xu Boqing couldn't think that deeply, and couldn't see that far. He had no choice but to shake his head and sigh, thinking about returning to the palace to talk to the Queen Mother about his worries first...

When he passed Prince Jing's Mansion on the way back to the palace, he saw a sedan in front of Prince Jing's Mansion. He stopped slightly as if he had thought of something, and then hid his figure behind a tree.

At this moment, the prince of King Jing's Mansion walked out of the palace, said a few words and got into the sedan, while the servants carried the sedan towards the palace...

After Emperor Yonghe established the crown prince, one of his two other sons was named King Gong and the other was named King Jing. This Prince Jing's Mansion is the current residence of the third prince.

The young prince just now...

That is the current third prince Zhu Wenjing!

Xu Boqing watched the sedan go away with a faint look, and he was also thinking about the information he got from Zhou Xuan when he was in Xingyuan Mansion...

News about Deng Jian!

The eldest prince Zhu Hong was deprived of his position as crown prince by Emperor Yonghe because of his involvement with the rebels, and was imprisoned in the East Palace...

Because of Empress Zhang, even though I helped him provide evidence to clear his name, he was indeed lifted from the ban on confinement in the East Palace...

But Emperor Yonghe did not restore his position as prince.

Since ancient times, the Tian family has no relatives, so the second prince and the third prince, seeing hope, naturally competed for the position of prince...

And Deng Jian himself is a master of martial arts in the Xiantian realm. He is not only one of the five people who assassinated Emperor Yonghe, but also one of the targets that Xichang must eliminate...

Xu Boqing asked himself, if he were the second or third prince who wanted to compete for the throne, he would protect people like Deng Jian as a secret move in his hands.

After all, Deng Zhi was not weak in strength, but at the same time he was in danger. It was a huge favor to save him, not to mention that he also had the leverage of the eldest prince Zhu Hong!

If the eldest prince languishes from now on, then this handle does not matter and is useless...

If he shows signs of resurgence, this handle can pull him down again at a critical moment!

In addition to ignoring the West Factory and the feelings of Xu Boqing, the governor of the West Factory, the third prince's move to protect Deng Jian was not bad...

'Tsk, tsk, tsk, maybe in their eyes, I am just an insignificant eunuch slave?'

Xu Boqing was secretly speechless and realized something in his heart.

After thinking about it for a moment, I couldn't help but sneered and started using the "Yi Jin Gu Tong Gong"...

The muscles on his cheeks squirmed, and the body shape was similar, so there was no need to change too much. When he came out from behind the tree, he had already transformed into the appearance of the third prince Zhu Wenjing...

It’s true that Zhu Wenjing just left not long ago…

So he did not go through the main entrance, but found an unguarded wall and jumped into Prince Jing's Mansion.

Following Zhu Wenjing's demeanor, he walked around Prince Jing's Mansion. The servants and maids who passed by all bowed and said hello when they met, and no one noticed anything was wrong...

I wanted to find Deng Jian and kill him conveniently to fulfill Mr. Huang's last wish, but after searching around, I couldn't find anyone even when I found the back house of Prince Jing's Mansion...

strangeness……

Xu Boqing frowned and thought about it...

He immediately realized that Deng Jian had assassinated Emperor Yonghe after all, and was one of the thieves whom Emperor Yonghe personally ordered to be exterminated. It would be hard to explain if he was discovered by someone with intentions and reported to the Holy Spirit.

so…

It is only suitable to be kept in the dark and used as a secret chess game...

He nodded thoughtfully and found Zhu Wenjing's study. He looked through it but found no clues...

Then I thought about going to the bedroom to look...

But as soon as he walked out of the study room, he suddenly met a beautiful young woman with gorgeous clothes and a pretty face.

The beautiful young woman looks to be in her twenties, at an age where she is more than a girl but not enough for a woman...

I don’t know if it’s because she just gave birth to a baby, but she has a very broad mind, and her body still exudes a faint frankincense...

When the young woman saw him, she smiled and said, "Didn't my husband say that he wanted to go to the palace today? Why did he come back so soon?"

"..."

Xu Boqing's brain shut down for a moment...

Then he immediately thought that since this man called Zhu Wenjing his husband, he must be Zhu Wenjing's wife or concubine, and Zhu Wenjing was born to Concubine Zhou...

Not long after he won the favor of Empress Dowager Chen, he saw Concubine Zhou personally delivering wedding eggs to Cining Palace. After exercising with the Empress Dowager, she ate the wedding eggs herself to supplement nutrition...

I also heard Queen Mother Chen chatting about wedding eggs...

According to Empress Dowager Chen, Zhou Guifei's son Zhu Wenjing married Liu, the daughter of General Zhaowu, who was five years older than himself, in his early years. The wedding egg was a birthday gift for Liu's daughter.

At that time, I even jokingly said that the third prince was lucky and that women could love others, which made the Queen Mother happy for a long time...

If we calculate the age and time, Zhu Wenjing is just eighteen, and Liu's daughter is also twenty-three. Her age is consistent with the woman in front of her, and the frankincense on her body also corresponds to the fact that she just had a child...

However, after the birth of a child in a wealthy family, they are fed by a special wet nurse, and few of them give birth to their own children. She...

But think about it...

People got married early at that time, and it was not easy to have children at this age. Without breast milk, it was normal to hire a wet nurse...

And if this woman is really the daughter of the Liu family and gave birth to a child in her twenties, it would be reasonable to have such an appearance...

There's still something I can't figure out...

Calculating the time when Concubine Zhou sent the wedding eggs, it has been nearly a year since the Liu daughter gave birth to her baby. If the baby had been fed by a wet nurse, she would have been weaned long ago...

Why does the woman in front of me still have a faint scent of frankincense?

So is the woman in front of me really the daughter of the Liu family?

wrong…

What's the use of paying attention to whether she is Liu's daughter?

I just came to investigate Deng Jian's whereabouts, and I won't stay here for a long time. Even if she is really the Liu family's daughter, what does it have to do with me?

Xu Boqing immediately realized that he had gotten into trouble, and then pretended to say: "I have finished my business in the palace, so I will come back first..."

The woman's eyes moved slightly, and she smiled gently and said, "Has your husband been exhausted recently?"

"It's a bit..."

Xu Boqing nodded slightly, then pretended to be tired and sighed, "I'm going back to my room to rest first. If nothing happens, Madam, she needs to rest more."

After that, I went to the bedroom...

"..."

But Liu's daughter just stood there and stared blankly at his back, her eyes were faintly red, and there seemed to be all kinds of grievances in her eyes...

She couldn't even remember how long it had been since she heard the word "ma'am"...

She was born in a general family, and although she has a strong personality, she is not a man. She knew that she could not avoid the fate of being married off, but she did not want to give in prematurely, so she kept trying to shirk it until she became a eldest girl...

I thought that I would have less worries as I got older, but I have to be valued by the third prince, and my father said very strongly that I have to marry whether I want to marry or not.

She also knew it was inevitable...

Then she also entered the palace and became the princess...

They got along relatively well at first, but when the rice was cooked, she tried her best to play the role of a good wife and mother.

But later, she accidentally discovered that her husband seemed to have a quirk...
