Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty-Eight

In the blink of an eye, Shen Zhenzhu had been staying in the Prince's Garden for more than a month, although she still had occasional pain in her chest, her body had basically recovered. When Zhang Hanruo and Xue Hong were talking in their boudoir, they had already succeeded Prince Tang to the throne in Lingwu, and Li Chu had informed Shen Zhenzhu of everything about being the marshal, so that Shen Zhenzhu finally let go of his hanging heart.During a lot of free time for recuperation, Shen Zhenzhu was able to quietly reflect on the experience after the accident. When An Qingxu led troops to arrest her that day, the situation was urgent and she didn't have time to think about it. She wholeheartedly believed that Zhang Deyu was the culprit of the whistleblower.After thinking about it for many days, I realized that there are many suspicious things in it.As a result, the mechanism in the secret room is not only hidden, but even if you find the location of the mechanism by mistake, it will be difficult to figure out how to open it within a day and a half. Li Chu will definitely not tell Zhang Deyu the secret of the mechanism. Know the secrets of the agency.The second is that even if Zhang Deyu discovered the secret of the mechanism intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang knew that he stayed in the mansion and did not flee with the emperor. It is easier to catch himself, so why did he go far and near, and wait three or four days after the rebels entered the city to inform them?

From this point of view, although Zhang Deyu was the informer, he was not the instigator. He must have met a person who told him the secret of the palace secret room within three or four days after he left the mansion, so he became greedy and went to inform the informer. Then who is the person who told Zhang Deyu the secret of the secret chamber of the palace?Apart from her and Li Chu, only Su Ci, Feng Shengyi, Dugu Jing and the mysterious "Muwei" knew about this secret room. The suspicion of Suci and Feng Shengyi could be ruled out. Chu, it shouldn't be him.Then, only Dugu Jing is the most suspect!

Dugu Jing, thinking of this name, made Shen Zhenzhu feel uncomfortable, as if she was surrounded by her inscrutable eyes, watching her every move.Ever since the Xiuyun Pavilion was destroyed by a monstrous fire that year, Shen Zhenzhu and Li Chu thought that Dugu Jing was not dead, but since then there has been no news of her, as if she had really disappeared from this world. Li Chu has been sending people to The investigation was fruitless, and a year and a half passed, and it seemed that Dugu Jing was completely forgotten, but Shen Zhenzhu was always worried, but seeing that Li Chu had forgotten about this person, why should she be with him? Bringing it up in front of you will only increase your discomfort.

Now the Dugu mirror seems to reappear in the world, which makes people feel like a lump in their throat and worry all the time.where is she nowIf she was really instigating Zhang Deyu behind the scenes, then she might still be in Chang'an at this time.She hated herself so much that she would not leave Chang'an even after Chang'an was captured by the rebels, she must put herself to death.However, Li Chu has always been shrewd, if he knew about the whistleblower, 90% of the time he would be suspicious of her, isn't she afraid that Li Chu would hate her even more?She suddenly thought that when Dugu Jing escaped from Li Chu on the pretext of death, he must have given up on his relationship with Li Chu. If so, he would not be afraid that Li Chu would hate him even more, and would do such a crazy thing.If this is the case, she has already murdered herself, and I don't know if she will also murder Li Chu.In the past, it was always thought that no matter how scheming and vicious Dugu Jing was, she would not be able to murder Li Chu, but judging from her own experience with Shen Zhenzhu, it is not impossible now.Dugu Jing knew Li Chu very well, although Li Chu was in the army, there were many guards, but if she really wanted to strike, it was not without chance.Thinking of this, Shen Zhenzhu wished she could fly to Li Chu's side and tell him about her dangerous situation.

Shen Zhenzhu lives in the most secluded part of the Prince's Bieyuan. It is an independent courtyard with a small garden in front of the house.Zhang Hanruo was closely guarded by others, Shen Zhenzhu knew what he meant, obviously he was afraid that people would find him in the hospital, and secretly he was even more afraid that he would run away after he recovered from his injury.From this point of view, Zhang Hanruo must have reached some kind of agreement with An Qingxu. Although the two are smiling and have a sense of mutual agreement, she will never let herself escape easily. It has passed September, Zhang Hanruo usually goes to chat with Shen Zhenzhu every morning and evening every morning and evening, and even stays at Shen Zhenzhu's place all day long, but now he has not been seen for several days in a row, Shen Zhenzhu secretly wonders, just in time for Xue Hong to appear When he came, he asked, "What has Hanruo been up to lately?"

Xue Hong smiled strangely: "Sister Zhang is going to be a bride." Shen Zhenzhu was startled: "Marry An Qingxu?" Xue Hong now only cares about teasing the red-billed and emerald-feathered parrot in front of the window, and replied casually: "Your Majesty has issued an edict, and the gift will be ready in half a month." This parrot was originally bought by Zhang Hanruo to relieve Shen Zhenzhu's boredom, but in the end it was It became Xue Hongxian's favorite. "Great gift, great gift!" The parrot opened its mouth and called out in a strange voice.

"Little goblin!" Xue Hong laughed so hard that he wanted to tease him again, but he saw Zhang Hanruo walked in with a gloomy face, and sat down heavily on the couch. Xue Hong stopped laughing immediately, she was young and ignorant of love, and looked at Zhang Hanruo in astonishment.I saw Zhang Hanruo flicking the things in front of him indiscriminately, the tea and medicine cups fell all over the floor, lying on the table and crying loudly.Shen Zhenzhu walked over and brushed her hair gently, calling out: "Sister——" Zhang Hanruo raised his head abruptly. At this time, it was like pear blossoms with rain, which made people even more amazing. He clapped the table and said, "Sister, I am unwilling, I am unwilling! Why should I marry him, why can't I choose the person I like and marry!"

Shen Zhenzhu was amazed in her heart, and suddenly recalled herself before she got married, and said: "From the ages, there are a few women who can do whatever they want. An Qingxu can also be a good match. If you marry him and know him, you will be born with love and stay in love with each other. , may not be a blessing.” But Zhang Hanruo said: "My sister can do this, but Hanruo will never want to marry someone he doesn't admire, and he will definitely not fall in love with him because of marriage!" Shen Zhenzhu sighed: "I don't know if my sister has someone she admires in her heart? My sister doesn't have any love for An Qingxu, so what kind of person can she love?"

Zhang Hanruo said: "The so-called one thought will last forever. The person Hanruo loves will definitely make my heart tremble at the first sight. If he is restrained and can't give up, An Qingxu is definitely not this kind of person." Zhang Hanruo shocked the world with his words, It is a woman like her who is proud of herself. Shen Zhenzhu had no choice but to ask: "The matter has come to this, what is my sister going to do next?" Zhang Hanruo pondered for a while, and said: "Now I only hope that An Qingxu can do what he says and fulfill the agreement I made with him that day." Shen Zhenzhu wants to ask what the agreement is, but Zhang Hanruo smiles calmly, wipes away his tears, and diverts the conversation , turned to talk to Xue Hongxian.

In the afternoon, the heavy rain poured down, the flowers and trees in the garden were scattered, and the red flowers were flying in the mist. Zhang Hanruo and Xue Hongxian dispersed one after another, and the small courtyard was empty and cool.Shen Zhenzhu was impressed by the window, and personally polished the inkstone and wrote a poem: "The autumn orchids are only green in the late evening, and the wind is getting closer. I hang down the curtain of thinking, and I am shocked by the dust on this beam. The deep shadows can last for a long time, and the rich scenery will fall. Why do you suddenly become spiritual, and see the farewell for a while."

When I wrote the last sentence, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Unexpectedly, my long sigh didn't stop, and suddenly I heard a slight abnormal sound of "bang" in the outer room. She came out through the curtain, and was shocked to see the servant girl who had been serving her all along, sitting limply against the wall, and was about to exclaim when her mouth was tightly covered by a pair of big hands. The man was so powerful that she was easily carried into the inner room involuntarily. As soon as he entered the inner room, he heard the person who grabbed him whisper in his ear: "Princess, please be silent, I don't mean anything malicious." While speaking, the hand holding Shen Zhenzhu gradually loosened.Shen Zhenzhu breathed a sigh of relief, if she wanted to kill her, she would have been killed with a light knife just now; if she wanted to rob her, there would be guards outside and they could come in at any time, she did not expect to be so bold.Nodding his head immediately, the man let go of his hand completely and took a few steps back. In front of him was a masked man in black, and said in a low voice, "Muwei sees the princess." Shen Zhenzhu was extremely surprised, and looked up and down at the person in front of her, the man in black also raised his head, allowing Shen Zhenzhu to look at him.Shen Zhenzhu had only seen Mu Wei once in the secret room two years ago, the light in the secret room was dim, and Mu Wei had been covering his face all the time, so it was hard to tell them apart, except for those old and sharp eyes, which seemed to be familiar.So he said, "Who is Muwei? Forgive me for not knowing." The masked man was not surprised, and said in a deep voice: "In the secret room back then, I once had a relationship with the princess." After a pause, he said: "Since the princess left from Dongshi today, the Dugu mirror has not changed." Shen Zhenzhu's heart brightened instantly, the last sentence said by the masked man in front of him, and the first sentence Mu Wei reported Dugu Jing's whereabouts to Li Chu in the secret room back then, there is not a single word wrong.This sentence, apart from her and Li Chu, no one knows this sentence.Even though the years have passed, his resolute words have always been deeply imprinted in Shen Zhenzhu's mind and will never be forgotten. This person must be Mu Wei without a doubt! "You?... Where did you come from? Did His Highness send you here?" Shen Zhenzhu asked. "I have been staying in Chang'an all this time, and I have not traveled with His Highness." Mu Wei replied in a low voice, "I thought that the princess had already suffered under the sword of An Qingxu, and I had picked up the book that fell from the princess's sleeve, and killed the princess together. The news of the news was passed to His Highness, who would have thought that the concubine is not dead, if His Highness finds out, he will be ecstatic." After Shen Zhenzhu wakes up, she finds that Li Chu's book, which has been kept close to her body, is missing. She suspects that she accidentally dropped it when she fled that day, and it turned out to be picked up by Mu Wei and others.With Muwei's letter and the note, this is no longer a rumor spread during the war. Li Chu will definitely think that she is really dead. I wonder if he will be sad?I don't know how to be sad?How to forget her after being sad?She is naturally convinced that he loves her deeply, but a man's love for a woman cannot be compared with the love for the country, not to mention that the country is far less stable than it used to be. The foundation he had planted was almost destroyed, and it was difficult to move forward; at this moment, perhaps the pain in his heart had gradually disappeared, and he should be more worried about how to make progress step by step and regain his country. Looking at Muwei in front of him, he felt that there were too many doubts in his mind, all of which were related to his real identity.She desperately wanted him to pull off the mask so that she could see his real face, and she also knew that if Li Chu wanted her to know Mu Wei's identity, she should have known it two years ago, why should she force others, so she finally suppressed this thought and just Asked: "How did you pick up that note, and how do you know I'm here?" Mu Wei said in a low voice: "Time is running out. I learned that there was an informer that day, so I rushed to report to the princess, but it was a step too late. The princess had already been stabbed by the sword by An Qingxu, and I only found the book that fell from the sleeve of the princess. Note. As for how to know the current whereabouts of the princess, I accidentally found that Xue Song's daughter often came here, and felt that something was wrong, so I followed her. That Miss Xue is so good, I was almost noticed by her, but she is still young Small, with little experience in the world. The details will be explained in detail after the princess is out of danger." Shen Zhenzhu lifts the window curtain and looks out, eight guards with swords are firmly guarding the courtyard gate, the courtyard wall is high and deep, and the wooden fence is equipped with martial arts, it is easy to come and go, but she is a weak woman, how can she escape?If he tried to escape by force, it would be difficult for Muwei alone to defeat the hundreds of soldiers and horses in the other garden, and the target would be exposed, making it even more difficult to escape in the future. "Princess, listen to me." Mu Wei glanced at the courtyard door vigilantly, and pulled Shen Zhenzhu away from the window, "I am not sure about saving the concubine at this moment. But in another fifteen days, it will be the day of the big wedding between An Qingxu and Miss Zhang's family." At that time, the generals and officials of the security bandits will all come to Chang'an to congratulate. The military discipline is loose, and there will be no careful investigation that day, this is the best time for the princess to get out of danger." Shen Zhenzhu heard that what he said was indeed reasonable, but remembered that Zhang Hanruo was very reluctant to this marriage, whether it will be possible after fifteen days Rituals are still unknown.He briefly informed Muwei of his doubts. Mu Wei waved his hand, hehe said with a deep smile: "Don't worry about this, the princess, An thief has issued an imperial decree, and the world knows that all preparations for the wedding have been carried out. If you don't want to, you have to obey orders, this matter is a foregone conclusion, she is not something that a mere woman can disobey. Besides, if Miss Zhang's family refuses to get married that day, and there is a change in the wedding, it will be more beneficial to you and me." Shen Zhenzhu listened to the last sentence and nodded.Muwei went on to say, "When Miss Zhang's family leaves the pavilion to get on the bridal sedan chair, most of the guards in the other garden will enter the vestibule. Within a day, only the guards in the backyard are the weakest at this time. I agree with the princess that when the princess is ready, I will take At this time, several subordinates came to the courtyard to meet the princess and escape. During this period of time, the princess must first take care of her health, and second, pay attention to when is the auspicious time for Miss Zhang's family to leave the pavilion. At this time, I will naturally inquire Clear. If the time is not accurate, maybe there will be a delay." Shen Zhenzhu nodded heavily. Mu Wei clasped his fists and resigned: "In this way, I will take a step first, and I will definitely come to meet the princess as promised." After speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave.Shen Zhenzhu urgently called out: "There is one more thing, please stay." Mu Wei turned around and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" Shen Zhenzhu pointed to the outer room, implying how to deal with the maid sitting paralyzed by the wall. Mu Wei understood what it meant in a flash, and said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, I just touched her fainting point, and she will wake up after a while." After Muwei left, Shen Zhenzhu took the tea on the table, lightly dipped her little finger on the maidservant's face and nose, and patted her cheek, and sure enough, the maidservant woke up quickly, not knowing what happened.Shen Zhenzhu said with a smile: "You must have been serving me too hard recently, and you fell asleep for a while, it's nothing serious." Fan, and promised not to tell Zhang Hanruo what happened today, the maid was even more grateful. The wedding date of Zhang Hanruo and An Qingxu is approaching day by day, and the Prince's Garden is getting busier and bustling day by day.Zhang Hanruo came to Shen Zhenzhu's place more and more rarely, and usually left after only a quick glance. Shen Zhenzhu carefully observed her expression, but she couldn't see any clues, no happiness, let alone sadness and resentment. I don't know what her plan is. .But Shen Zhenzhu had a premonition in her heart that the chance of the wedding being successfully completed was extremely small.Although I don't know what the "promise" between Zhang Hanruo and An Qingxu is, it is mostly related to their marriage. Since Zhang Hanruo is absolutely unwilling to marry An Qingxu, I don't know how she will avoid this marriage.Will you run away from marriage?Seeing that the situation is not like this, what Mu Wei said is very accurate, the Zhang family has all the power and cannot afford to lose face, Zhang Hanruo is not a person who acts willfully and does not care about his parents and brothers.So what should she do?I can't figure it out even after thinking about it. Shen Zhenzhu had already insinuated Zhang Hanruo and Xue Hongxian, confirmed each other, and confirmed that Zhang Hanruo left the pavilion at a quarter of noon that day.An Lushan imitated the Tang Dynasty. The wedding of An Qingxu and Zhang Hanruo was carried out according to the ceremony of the prince accepting the concubine. An Qingxu had to go to the mansion in person for a "personal welcome", but there was one more thing - after the personal welcome, he would not be welcomed directly into An Qingxu's mansion , but entered the Tai Chi Hall in the palace, and An Lushan personally presided over the ceremony. This should be the first grand event of the so-called "Great Swallow" after An Lushan proclaimed himself emperor. Shen Zhenzhu secretly focused on taking care of her body, and only waited for Muwei to come to meet her on time that day.
