Chapter 366

Yuan Jingnian looked embarrassed.

However, Yuan Yunzhong still looked disapproving and said straightforwardly: "Isn't it true?"

Yuan Jingnian laughed "hehe" twice and poured wine for Yuan Yunzhong: "Drink, drink!"

Yuan Yunzhong covered the wine cup with his hand and said seriously: "What are the elders planning?" He also said, "Don't say you don't know! It's hot now and tens of thousands of people gather together, which can easily cause a plague. What do you think? I don’t care if I’m angry with the emperor, but I can’t take the lives of the people lightly.”

"That's definitely not the case!" Yuan Jingnian promised repeatedly, and sighed, "You know my uncle's temperament best. He said he didn't care about you, but he didn't care about you. If nothing else, just talk about you. This time I wrote a letter to go out of the city to appease the people, but my uncle disagreed with it. But when he turned around, he was the first to jump out to support you during the cabinet meeting. Otherwise, all the cabinet ministers would not have written a letter to suggest that the emperor should Those refugees have been favored and cared for."

After hearing this, Yuan Yunzhong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say more, and said, "Are you going to be a lobbyist for my father?"

"How can you say you're a lobbyist?" Yuan Jingnian said disapprovingly, "I really think it doesn't make any sense for you to confront your uncle like this. You obviously have the same idea, but you insist on speaking the truth. Every time They were all tense when they met, making the father and son look like enemies?"

Yuan Yunzhong raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "Then my father supports me going out of the city to appease the people?"

Yuan Jingnian suddenly became speechless.

Yuan Yunzhong sneered: "He said that he supported me in treating the refugees as less important and focusing on recruiting them, but in fact he was afraid that I would actually go out of the city in person, right? The so-called support is probably as long as I don't go out of the city in person to appease the people!"

Yuan Jingnian smiled sarcastically: "Isn't my uncle also worried about you? You are the only one between my uncle and aunt. Isn't it right for him to be worried about you?"

While the two brothers were talking, Wu was afraid that Song Jiyun would be uncomfortable, so he not only served her dishes in person, but also enthusiastically introduced various dishes to her: "These dried croquettes may seem ordinary, but they test the master's skills the most. In the capital, Whether a restaurant's food is good or not depends on how well the fried meatballs are cooked. This fried meatballs was also made by the cook on our stove, but we invited the most famous restaurant in Beijing to do so. The master from Zhenlou came over to make it. How do you like it?"

Song Jiyun smiled and thanked him, but he always felt as if Youdao's eyes were glued to her body.

Of course, the Yuan family's family dinner will not be that simple.

She didn't know what to do.

After finally finishing the meal, Yuan Yunzhong took Song Jiyun to say goodbye. The lanterns were already going on outside the door, and there was still half an hour before the curfew.

Yuan Yunzhong was not in a good mood, and asked Song Jiyun's wishes in a gentle voice: "Do you want to go back?"

Yuan Jingnian and the others lived just one street away from Xijiangmi, and there was a rare cool breeze when they went out. They had dinner and went back for a walk.

"Okay!" Song Jiyun agreed happily.

The two of them walked slowly towards Xijiangmi Lane.

The carriage followed them quietly.

From time to time on the road I met people who opened their side doors to enjoy the cool air.

"It's always like this." Yuan Yunzhong, who had been silent all the time, said in a low voice while passing by a big tree with a weeping willow in his face, "It's up to me to do whatever I say, but if I really want to do it, they always do it. It will stop it.”

Song Jiyun could feel the frustration in his tone.

She couldn't help but hold Yuan Yunzhong's hand.

Yuan Yunzhong was stunned and hesitated for a moment. He didn't care whether anyone saw it or what the consequences would be. He held her hand tightly without caring.

"I know they are worried about me, and I don't want to be in any danger." He continued, "But can they stop always saying one thing and doing another?"

I'm afraid not.

Song Jiyun cursed in his heart.

In the hearts of the Yuan family elders, Yuan Yunzhong's danger is more important than anything else.

No one wants to be treated like a fragile person all the time.

Song Jiyun sighed secretly.

Back home, Mr. Jinghu was waiting for them in the hall.

Seeing them coming back, he handed a note to Yuan Yunzhong.

Yuan Yunzhong glanced down in confusion, and his expression suddenly changed slightly: "Prince Ning passed away?!"

Song Jiyun was also frightened when he heard this, and moved over to take a look.

Yuan Yunzhong simply handed the note to Song Jiyun.

On a very ordinary piece of yellow straw paper, five words were written in charcoal: "Prince Ning was poisoned."

It was obviously not news coming from formal channels.

Song Jiyun looked up at Mr. Jinghu.

Mr. Jinghu didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye. He just said to Yuan Yunzhong sternly: "I'm afraid there will be trouble again regarding the refugees."

Song Jiyun thought about it and understood what he meant.

The refugees were introduced to the capital by King Ning. In the past, when he was there, there was always someone who directed them, and these refugees were taken care of. Now that King Ning has died suddenly, the refugees are leaderless and there will definitely be chaos.

I just don’t know how he could die at this juncture?

Yuan Yunzhong obviously thought of it too.

He said solemnly: "Although Prince Ning accidentally entered the Pocket Alley, the eldest prince is there, and he cannot escape the crime of harming the emperor's heir. The emperor did not execute him immediately, but moved him to another place and imprisoned him in Yongsi Palace in Jingshan just wanted to wait until Prince Ruichang came to the capital before finding a way to deal with him. How could Prince Ning be suddenly poisoned?"

When Mr. Jinghu heard this, he glanced at Yuan Yunzhong with a complicated expression and said, "It is said that the young eunuch of Yongsi Palace reported to the emperor that Prince Ning was imprisoned but he still refused to change his mind. Every day he either scolded you or scolded the emperor. . The emperor was furious and gave him a cup of poisoned wine. As for the little eunuch who snitched, he just wanted to please the emperor and was transferred to Qianqing Palace as an errand."

Yuan Yunzhong stroked his forehead and said: "No, I have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning. The news of Prince Ning's death cannot be spread out so quickly. We have to wait until the refugee affairs are settled."

Mr. Jinghu did not object and reminded him gently: "The news that Prince Ning was poisoned has not come yet. When you enter the palace tomorrow, you have to think carefully about how to tell the emperor."

"Yes!" Yuan Yunzhong responded, focusing entirely on this matter. He sent Song Jiyun back to Xikuoyuan and left in a hurry.

Song Jiyun immediately called Zheng Quan over and asked him where He Dazhi and others were housed. He also told him: "From now on, you will inspect Xikuoyuan every hour."

She told Zheng Quan about her conflict with Mr. Jinghu.

Zheng Quan was so angry that he said, "Then let's buy a house and move out."

He couldn't bear to see Song Jiyun being so angry.

Song Jiyun smiled and said, "Why do you want to move out? It's so fun to live here and hang out under Mr. Jinghu's nose every day!"

Zheng Quan couldn't understand.

Song Jiyun didn't explain. He just asked him to keep the door open. He asked him to invite Zhou Zheng over tomorrow: "Call Master Xiao Guo and the others over. I want to bake some porcelain."

Sisters, correct the typo tomorrow.
