Chapter 31 A Business
After getting the portrait, Zhao Shiqing opened it and looked at it.
The person in the painting has narrow eyes and thin lips. He is cool and ordinary, which fits most people's imagination of a heartless man. The only difference is that this person's eyes and eyebrows are somewhat charming.
Zhao Shiqing covered the scroll and said to Xiao Zhen: "The painter is good."
Yes, let’s not talk about the likeness or dissimilarity. At least it is not a dull portrait. The person in the painting has some charm.
Xiao Zhen hummed and said to Zhao Shiqing: "I wonder if Miss Zhao Er is satisfied with this self-certification?"
What else could Zhao Shiqing say? She couldn't say she was dissatisfied. They had arrested everyone they could, and so far she had only captured a dying Nie Qionghua.
Zhao Shiqing nodded: "How is Xiao Prince Consort recovering? Is there a good time to return to Beijing?"
Prince Consort Xiao and Princess Jiayi looked at each other. Did Prince Liang's Mansion finally agree to their departure?
Xiao Zhen asked: "Miss Zhao Er may represent the eldest princess?"
Zhao Shiqing: "I may not be able to do other things, but I can do this, however"
That family of three: Coming, coming, but not coming!
Xiao Zhen's expression was indifferent: "Please, Miss Zhao Er, move on to explain."
He knew what Zhao Shiqing's "but" meant. After all, as early as three days ago, Zhao Shiqing had said that he wanted to make a deal with him.
The reason why there was no detailed discussion three days ago was because the eldest princess's mansion and the Xiao family were still suspected of murder. Now that the suspicion has been cleared, the deal must still be done. Otherwise, as long as the Zhao sisters don't let go, the three of them will not It may be necessary to completely leave the beam ground.
If he is the only one, there is no need to worry, but he still has his parents and the entire Xiao family. If he breaks up with Prince Liang's Mansion, even if the suspicion is cleared, he will inevitably repeat the same mistakes of his previous life. And this is what happened on the Dragon Throne that person wishes.
Xiao Zhen stood up and walked out first. Princess Jiayi opened her mouth and finally swallowed what she wanted to say.
Zhao Shiqing smiled brightly, wished the eldest princess and Xiao consort Xiao a blessing, and followed Xiao Zhen out with light steps.
After the two left, Princess Jiayi sighed and said to Prince Consort Xiao, "Brother Yan, do you want to tell A Zhen about that?"
Xiao Prince Consort's fair and handsome face was stained with a touch of red: "Why don't you wait? Wait until you return to Beijing and tell him."
Princess Jiayi gave him a charming look: "You say it's easy, but you don't know how hard it is for others to endure"
Prince Consort Xiao stretched out his arms to take her into his arms, and said softly: "It's all because of my husband, why don't you bite me?"
Princess Jiayi opened her cherry mouth and took a bite on the back of his hand.
next door.
Xiao Zhen sat on the chair with a golden sword, while Zhao Shiqing looked on with cold eyes. If this man wasn't so skinny and sickly, he would be quite dignified. Yes, the Xiao family is a general after all.
"Mr. Zhen, we can talk about business now."
Zhao Shiqing sat down opposite him and played with the clairvoyant on the table casually.
Xiao Zhen said: "Zhen is all ears."
Zhao Shiqing did not beat around the bush, because there was not much time left for her and Prince Liang's house.
"I received the news yesterday that the angel is already a hundred miles away. If he doesn't arrive today, he will definitely arrive tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhen said lightly: "Prince Liang didn't come back together, did he?"
Zhao Shiqing was slightly startled, how did Xiao Zhen know?
Yesterday, when she was riding out of the mansion, she happened to meet someone sent by Prince Liang's mansion who came back to report the news.
There were more than a hundred people sent by the emperor to express condolences, including officials from the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, the Internal Prison, and officials from the Liang Prince's Mansion in the capital, but Zhao Tinghan, the eldest son of the Liang Prince, was the only one who was not there!
In other words, not only did the emperor not let Zhao Tinghan come back to inherit the throne, he didn't even let him come back to attend the funeral!
Zhao Shiqing still didn't know how her sister would react when she heard the news, but she knew that she and Xiao Zhen had to do business!
Just before yesterday, although she and her sister had thought that the emperor would not easily bring his elder brother back, they only thought about it. After all, it can be seen from the death of their father that at least at this moment, the emperor cannot Breaking up with Prince Liang's Mansion. If that time comes, what the emperor will have to face will not be a mere Liang Prince's Mansion, but the Eight Great Kings!
But now, the eldest brother really has not come back, and before that, not a single word was sent back.
Xiao Zhen looked at the little girl in front of him, his eyes were clear and pure. She looked like she had been raised and raised. Xiao Su said that she was a poor little kid who was abducted by a kidnapper, but the suffering in her childhood did not seem to affect her. He could only say Prince Liang's Mansion raised her very well.
"It seems I was right." Xiao Zhen said lazily.
Zhao Shiqing did not deny it: "Yes, my eldest brother has not come back, so I want to negotiate a business deal with Mr. Zhen."
"Okay." Xiao Zhen said.
Zhao Shiqing continued: "I would like to ask Mr. Zhen to leave a few places for me and my people in the eldest princess's entourage."
When Xiao Zhen heard this, he knew what she was going to do.
"You want to hide in my mother's entourage and sneak into the capital to bring Prince Liang back?"
Zhao Shiqing: "Yes, that's it."
Xiao Zhen sighed silently in his heart. Zhao Tinghan, the prince of Liang in his previous life, died in the capital. Unfortunately, when he knew the news, it was already a long time later, so he did not know exactly when Zhao Tinghan died, nor whether Zhao Tinghan was alive at this moment. Still alive.
But in the previous life, Prince Liang's Mansion did not go to Beijing to pick up anyone.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Of course, it's possible that he came to Beijing secretly, but he just didn't know it.
Isn't Zhao Shiqing planning to sneak into Beijing secretly, hiding it from the eyes and ears of the court?
"How many people are there?" Xiao Zhen asked.
Zhao Shiqing thought for a while: "Including me, there are ten people in total, and the eldest princess's escort team has one hundred and fifty people. Ten more people, or ten more people, should not arouse suspicion."
Xiao Zhen: "There are only ten people? Is it enough?"
Zhao Shiqing smiled: "Why, Mr. Zhen wants to replace all of Lingci's one hundred and fifty people with my people?"
Xiao Zhen shut up immediately. He was not a fool. Did he really replace all the 150 people with people from Prince Liang's palace as Zhao Shiqing said? What's the difference between this and Prince Liang's palace escorting his family back to Beijing?
"It seems that Mr. Zhen has agreed?" Zhao Shiqing asked.
Xiao Zhen was noncommittal: "Do I have the right not to agree?"
Of course not, their family is still under their control.
Zhao Shiqing stretched out her hand: "Shall we high-five?"
Xiao Zhen
He had a sullen face and remained motionless.
The corners of Zhao Shiqing's mouth twitched, this person is really boring.
She waved her hands to relieve her embarrassment: "Haha, I forgot to wash my hands. I will wash my hands clean next time and let's high-five again."
After seeing off Zhao Shiqing, Xiao Zhen returned to the next door and stood at the door. He let Aunt Bai pass the message before going in. But even so, he still saw his parents who loved each other tugging at each other.
He turned away and coughed dryly, and the two people looked at him cautiously like children who had done something wrong.
Xiao Zhen: "People from the capital will be arriving soon. You should pack up and go to Prince Liang's Mansion to express your condolences."
Princess Jiayi was overjoyed: "After condolences, can we return to Beijing?"
Xiao Zhen said: "Before leaving, don't you think you should say something to me?"
Princess Jiayi: ".Do you know everything?"
