MTL - The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince-Chapter 603 The couple finally returned to Beijing

Chapter 603 The couple finally returned to Beijing

 That day.

 The old marshal made an appointment with Pei Hao.

Pei Hao's appointment with the old marshal was expected.

 The two met in the marshal's study.

When the servants served the tea, Pei Hao took a sip and said, "Marshal, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

"Those people who came to provide relief were probably sent by the king. I heard that they were all over the Qin Dynasty." The old marshal expressed his doubts in his heart, "They don't look like people from the court."

“They are indeed not from the court, but from the Du family.”

“It’s not that the Du family has never been involved…”

"They are not participating now. They just want to help the people of the world tide over this difficulty. For this reason, they have no reservations." Pei Hao actually couldn't understand the Du family's actions.

The Du family seems to be doing something big, and almost all the family members are involved in it.

Pei Hao didn't ask his wife about this because he didn't want to embarrass her.

"What else is the old marshal in trouble for?" Pei Hao asked.

The old marshal asked worriedly: "Aren't you afraid of angering the emperor by doing this? Princess Jiaoyang's reputation is too great, which is not necessarily a good thing. What should I do if it arouses suspicion?"

"Don't worry about this." Pei Hao answered vaguely.

 In fact, he was also a little worried and asked Du Qian.

 Du Qian’s answer was, don’t worry, nothing will happen.

Upon seeing this, the old marshal expressed his guess, "Is the future prince the princess?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　∣　

Pei Hao squirted out a mouthful of tea and choked. He coughed for a while before he could catch his breath.

 The old marshal stared at him unkindly, "What I said is funny? The young man really doesn't know how to respect the elderly."

“No, I was frightened by your words.” Pei Hao shook his head. The little girl has no intention of inheriting the throne.

The two chatted for a while. The old marshal's analysis of the situation in Da Qin was thorough, and Pei Hao benefited a lot from it. It was not until late in the morning, when Pei Hao stood up to say goodbye, that the old marshal finally asked about the concerns of the Wei family.

The Wei family is most worried because the future is unclear.

Pei Hao finally knew the reason for his appointment today, "Marshal, have you heard of the Su family?"

 “Former Prime Minister, Su family?”

"Yes. The Su family is now living in the Princess Mansion. They have lost their former glory, but they are living a very stable life. In addition, Su Che has been favored by Du Qian, and now works in the Household Department. Although he has no position, he has been working in the Household Department. The work of the minister." Pei Hao calmly gave a junior salute to the old marshal and quietly exited the study.

 The old marshal fell into silence for a while.

 Not long after, Wei Zhongyuan came over.

Wei Zhongyuan asked how the conversation went.

The old marshal said Pei Hao's last point, "He is telling us that the enemies of the Princess Mansion can live well, and that the Du family's heart is bigger than we imagined."

“Does this point out a way for our Wei family?”

“Whether he has mentioned something, how we do it depends on ourselves.”

 At that time, there was a big quarrel between the Princess Mansion and the Su family.

Now the entire capital's dignitaries are about to undergo a change. Compared with those powerful people who even lost their lives, the life of the Su family is enviable. The most incredible thing is that the Princess Mansion can tolerate even enemies, and Su Che can still be reused!

The Du family is not afraid of the trouble caused by raising tigers? Clearly unafraid.

Those who would do this are either short-sighted and stupid, or they are too powerful to be afraid.

Thinking of Du Wan's strength, it goes without saying that it's the latter.

Marshal Wei murmured, "Attachment to the Princess Mansion is a way out for the Wei family. We owe the Pei family a favor today." "Yes, father."

　　　…”

Pei Hao's injuries are almost healed.

The situation in the northwest has been decided. The entire Wei family packed up their things, loaded onto the carriage, and returned to Beijing with Pei Hao, Du Wan and others.

 When they went back, Du Wan and Pei Hao took a carriage.

It was then that Du Wan realized that something was missing, "Where is Hu San? Why don't you see him today?"

Pei Hao looked at her funny, "Did you just realize now that Hu San is not with me?"

“Uh, didn’t I come to the northwest with you?” Du Wan recalled that she didn’t see Hu San this time, and immediately frowned, “What’s wrong with him? Is he injured?”

"Yes, in order to protect me, he was seriously injured. I asked him to stay where he was to recuperate, and he will return to Beijing directly after he recovers."

"Then you should reward him well when you get back. It's best to reward him with a wife."

 “Ha, hahaha. Hu San will be happy.”

　　　…”

 The journey back to Beijing was uneventful.

Du Wan left Beijing and came back more than two months later, which took longer than she expected.

 According to the original plan, she could complete it in about a month. However, Pei Hao and Mu Si'an went to the northwest, which changed her plan and allowed her to stay in the northwest for a longer period of time.

 The carriage drove into the city gate.

Du Wan's mood is different, and she is eager to return home.

Pei Hao pretended to be amused and said, "Wanwan, I'm still with you, but you still think about other men? Are you thinking about three at a time?"

"Go ahead, I'm so jealous, I really won over you." Du Wan smiled and stretched out a white slap, and slapped it on his forehead, "That's my eldest brother, that's my eldest brother! And my father , Father, do you understand? Humph, and my little brother, such a cute little guy, do you have the nerve to do it? "

 Princess, she wants it too!

 After entering the city, Pei Hao and Du Wan separated from the Wei family.

The Wei family's residence in the capital was originally seized, but Du Qian returned the residence to the Wei family.

Pei Hao and Du Wan did not return to the Duke's Mansion, but went to the Princess Mansion instead.

 It’s not the fault that they didn’t go back, the main reason is that there is no owner at home in the Zhenguogong Mansion. The Duke of Zhen was still out on a mission, and Mrs. Pei and her daughter went to live in Huguo Temple and never returned home.

 As soon as the two people arrived at the princess residence, they received a warm welcome.

The eldest princess was so happy that she wiped tears while holding her daughter. There was also a cute little dumpling who looked like Yuxue.

　　When Du Wan picked him up, the little guy giggled happily.

On the other side, Du Consort and Du Qian also took Pei Hao to chat.

In fact, the day before, Prince Consort Du and the eldest princess were still staying in the family. When they learned that Du Wan would return to Beijing today, they insisted on going back to the princess's mansion to wait for their daughter. Even Du Qian couldn't stop him, so they had to quietly send in protective personnel. Doubled again.

 In the two months since Du Wan left, the capital was not at all peaceful.

Du Qian was assassinated in the palace and suffered minor injuries.

People would visit the Princess Mansion from time to time, which annoyed Du Qian so much that the assassin caught him and killed him on the spot. Without the existence of Du Wan as a cheating device, it would not be easy to find the person behind the scenes.

It is speculated that it may be related to Du Qian's investigation of northwest grain and salary.

Later, Du Qian and Xie Zhang worked together to investigate the food and salary problem, and almost wiped out the Ministry of War Yamen. The most interesting thing is that there are people in the northwest who are acting as internal agents, working with officials from the Ministry of War to embezzle food.

 And that person turned out to be a member of the Fang family.

If the Wei family knew the truth, they would definitely be embarrassed and would no longer care about the life and death of the Fang family.

PS: Dear friends, could you please give me a monthly pass?
