“It was my sister who rushed back to the capital overnight to deliver the news. She rode back to the capital on horseback, and her three children were still on the way..."
Song Yunzhao was shocked when she heard this. She even brought the child back, but she was worried about her husband, so she asked someone to take the child and walk slowly on the road. She returned to Beijing first to report the news.
Twice in a row, this Mrs. Ding is really...a hero among women.
Yun Zhao had a very bad impression of Mrs. Ding after what happened last time. Although she was plotted by the Zhao family to drag the Song family into trouble, she should have thought of such consequences when she agreed to the Zhao family.
This time, when her husband was in trouble, she rushed forward again, taking the three children with her. This brought Ding Wei with her again. She treated her stepdaughter really well.
Song Yunzhao frowned slightly, looked at He Lanyun and said, "Don't cry yet. Explain the matter clearly. Why did Governor Ding's token appear in the hands of the pirates?"
"have no idea."
"I don't know?" Song Yunzhao didn't know what to say for a moment, "What's Mrs. Ding doing here for some unknown reason?"
"Huizhou is in chaos. The Governor's Mansion is under siege. My sister is worried about the safety of the children. Moreover, the token matter is not trivial. My brother-in-law has led troops to the sea... My sister wants to send the news back to Beijing first. This matter is of great importance and cannot be shared with others. It was said that the token could be stolen by others, and if someone sent a letter back to Beijing, she didn’t know if it would be reliable, so she came back in person.”
He Lanyun's words were a little confusing, but Yun Zhao understood it.
Ding Xian led his troops to the sea to suppress the bandits, he must have wanted to find out the truth.
The token must have been stolen by one of our own people, otherwise not everyone would know where to put such an important thing.
The Governor's Mansion was besieged, and she was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to do something evil. It was normal for Mrs. Ding to be worried about the safety of her children. She was escorted to Beijing, but because the token was stolen, she didn't trust others, so she had to come in person.
Song Yunzhao was impressed when he heard this. When something happened to the Duke of Qin, Mrs. Ding saved her family by marrying Ding Xian, a widower, for her mother and younger brother. Now she can run around for her husband, which is really a caring and righteous person.
"Does Duke Qin know about this?" Song Yunzhao looked at He Lanyun and asked.
He Lanyun was wiping her tears with a handkerchief. She shook her head when she heard this, "He happened to be out of town on business and hasn't come back yet, but I have already asked someone to deliver a letter to him."
“What are Mrs. Ding’s plans?” Song Yunzhao asked again.
“When my sister arrived in Beijing, I sent someone to pick up the children. She said that she would return to Huizhou as soon as the children arrived in Beijing. If such a big thing happens, if there is no explanation, my brother-in-law is afraid..."
"The stolen token is just what Governor Ding and your sister's family said. If we can't get evidence to prove that it was stolen, then the matter will be very difficult." Although Yun Zhao is not very clear about what happened in the court, it is such a simple matter. She still knows how powerful it is.
He Lanyun took a deep breath and suppressed her tears, "I know."
It is precisely because of knowing that I am afraid. If I really cannot prove my innocence, then my brother-in-law's life will not be saved. If the emperor is furious, my sister and several children will be implicated.
So she sent the children back to Beijing, probably because she was thinking that if she was really in trouble in the future, Your Majesty could spare a few children for the sake of the Duke of Qin's palace.
She insisted on returning to Huizhou, apparently to live and die with her brother-in-law.
Yunzhao looked at He Lanyun, and He Lanyun also looked at her.
After a long while, He Lanyun forced out a wry smile and said, "I know this is a difficult matter. My sister's only thought is to save the lives of the children."
Song Yunzhao sighed lightly, "I, a concubine, cannot interfere in the important affairs of the court."
"But the evidence is hard to find..." He Lanyun felt desperate just thinking about it.
“You go back and tell Mrs. Ding that when Governor Ding led his troops to the sea, he must have wanted to make meritorious service and see if he could find any evidence. But apart from that, the token matter is also a top priority.”
Ding Xian was right to take the risk and go to sea. If he stayed in the Governor's Mansion and was besieged, he would have to wait for death.
Song Yunzhao is not a genius. She can come up with good ideas as soon as she thinks. Things in Huizhou are obviously more complicated than she thought. The local officials are intricately connected. Ding Xian has been trapped in this situation for many years. These people are not just her words. Can be manipulated.
"You go back first and let Mrs. Ding stay for one more day. I will report back to Your Majesty first, but it is not my responsibility to decide how Your Majesty will decide this matter." Yun Zhao looked at He Lanyun and said.
He Lanyun was overjoyed. Being able to reach heaven and listen was what she wanted. "Yunzhao, thank you very much. This is enough."
Yun Zhao didn't know enough, but He Lanyun came to beg her sincerely and obviously didn't want to embarrass her.
"You go back and wait for the news first. You have to take care of yourself." Song Yunzhao was still a little worried after saying this, so he called Zhang Maoquan and asked him to send He Lanyun back to the Duke of Qin's palace.
He Lanyun saluted Yun Zhao before leaving. Yun Zhao immediately stood up, supported her, reached out and patted her back, "Go back."
He Lanyun left with red eyes.
Yun Zhao calmed down, and then asked someone to go ahead and send a message to see if Feng Yi had time.
It was a coincidence that Feng Yi was discussing matters with the court officials. The Huizhou matter had not yet been sent back to the capital, and the capital was still peaceful.
Yun Zhao felt even more heavy.
It was not until lunch that Feng Yi came to Yaohua Palace. When he saw Yun Zhao, he smiled and asked her, "Why are you so eager to let people go to the front today?"
Yun Zhao looked at Feng Yi's smile and couldn't help but hesitate what he wanted to say.
Facing Yun Zhao’s heavy face, Feng Yi’s smile faded, “Zhao Zhao, what happened?”
Song Yunzhao took Feng Yi's hand and squeezed it tightly, and then he spoke about what happened in Huizhou.
Feng Yi's expression changed instantly. Perhaps he was afraid of scaring Yun Zhao, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Ding Xian is really good. His token can be stolen, so what's the use of him?"
Yun Zhao did not dare to intercede for Ding Xian at this time, and only said: "The news has not been sent back to the capital yet. Mrs. Ding took the risk to come back to deliver the message, but it gave us a head start. Things have already happened, and we must find ways to find out. .”
Can Feng Yi not be angry?
Huizhou is such an important matter. He has trusted Ding Xian and asked him to guard it all these years. Is this the result?
“The tokens can be lost, it’s dereliction of duty and incompetence!” Feng Yi’s face was dark. He didn’t know the casualties at the moment. He had to send people south immediately.
Yun Zhao looked at Feng Yi's stormy look, and couldn't help but give Ding Xian a pat on the back. Thinking of He Lan Yun, she still said, "Mrs. Ding can return to Beijing in person as soon as possible to send back the news." , it can be seen that the couple did not betray the imperial court, and there may be another hidden reason in this matter."
Feng Yi looked at Yun Zhao and said, "You are willing to speak for them."
Mrs. Ding made Yun Zhao angry before, which shows that his Zhao Zhao is really a kind person.
It’s really sad. I’m sending you the first update. There’s still another update. Please wait a moment, okay?
