Xinyuan Teahouse suddenly changed the shopkeeper a month ago. The owner of this old teahouse close to the Fusiyamen of the Beizhen Town has been replaced by Zhou Huaian, a hundred household of the Jinyiwei. The most dangerous place is the safest place. The headquarters of Shadow Beijing is located under the eyes and nose of the Jinyiwei. Zhou Huaian is really brave.

Zhou Huaian used to be a hundred households. Although he had a conflict with Zuo Qianhu, he quit his job. Now he went to business and did a lot of money. He was not in harmony with Zuo Qianhu, but it was not the same as having disagreement with everyone in the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei drank tea and chatted and took off and sent information. Zhou Huaian could get a lot of useful information every day without any effort, but this had both advantages and disadvantages. After Zuo Qianhu saw Zhou Huaian who was against him, he actually opened a teahouse after he resigned. He made a fortune and made a prosperous business. He was jealous. He was usually mean to others, and his subordinates were afraid of him as high as a senior high school. In addition to a few iron-clad lackeys, most of them were looking forward to Zhou Huaian, who was generous and righteous. Therefore, every time Zuo Qianhu made trouble in Xinyuan Teahouse, he was in a miserable collection, and the two sides accumulated deeper and deeper resentment.

After Zhou Huaian left, several Jinyiwei who had been friends with him also left. Now they are all core members of the Shadow. Zhou Huaian has not dared to develop members of the Jinyiwei who is active. The eunuch party is still quite wary of his sudden disappearance for a few months. This is also Zhu Yinglong's mistake. If he left Zhou Huaian directly in the capital, the current Shadow organization might have been invaded into the Jinyiwei.

The teahouse slowly became deserted in the afternoon. Zhou Huaian told his friend to close, come out from the back door of the teahouse, and looked around and there was no one, so he left with peace of mind.

The things in his arms have been in his hands for a month. The prince told him to do everything possible to deliver the things, but the things are still in his hands. He felt guilty of the prince's entrustment and could not be delayed anymore. Today, he must find a way to deliver the things.

The sky suddenly became dizzy, and dark clouds surged above his head, as if there was some hint. Zhou Huaian looked up at the mysterious clouds in the sky. Suddenly, wind blew up on the ground, sand and gravel danced, and it hurt coldly on his face. He couldn't help but speed up his pace and disappeared at the end of the street in a blink of an eye.

The spring snow was so heavy yesterday! The weather in Beijing changed as soon as possible. The queen Zhang Yan, who was sitting in the warm pavilion of Kunning Palace, closed her eyes and pondered.

"Empress, the emperor said he would not come today, so he told you not to wait for him." Suddenly, a palace maid walked in and knelt down and reported.

Zhang Yan opened her phoenix eyes and looked at Zihe, the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "I understand. Get up, the ground is cold."

Zihe said "Yes" and stood aside.

"Empress, the emperor has gone to the Grandma Fengsheng." Zi He couldn't help but whisper.

Zhang Yan didn't move at all. I thought this kind of thing was already common and I was tired of listening.

At this moment, the eunuch who signed the housekeeper reported to the father-in-law, and Taikangbo Zhang Guoji asked to see him. When Zhang Yan heard this, her body was shocked and hurriedly said, "Please hurry up!"

"My minister Zhang Guoji bowed to the Queen, Qiansheng, Qiansheng!" Due to the deposed Queen, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Yan had not seen her father for ten months. When she saw her father kneeling in front of her and shouting "Qiangsheng, Qiansheng", she couldn't help but burst into tears. She stepped forward to support Zhang Guoji, glanced at the hair on her father's temples, and choked and said, "Dad, my daughter is useless, let you suffer an unjust grievance!"

"It's useless that my father almost fell into the trap." Zhang Guoji was extremely moved when he saw his daughter.

"By the way, dad, how could that eunuch let you come to the palace to see your daughter?" Although Zhang Guoji was not punished in the end, he was punished by Emperor Tianqi to stay at home and think about it for half a year. Why did he suddenly come to the palace to see him? Of course, Zhang Yan had to ask clearly.

"Yan'er, have you forgotten that today is your birthday?" Zhang Guoji asked in surprise.

"Birthday?" Zhang Yan suddenly remembered why she always felt something was wrong today, as if she had forgotten something. She also went to the imperial kitchen to order a few more good dishes for the imperial kitchens, and asked Zihe to invite the emperor to her Kunning Palace for meals.

"Empress, you went to the imperial kitchen early this morning and asked the imperial kitchen to make some of the dishes you and the emperor liked the most. You also specially put on the phoenix hairpin given to you by the emperor. My maid thought you knew you were having your birthday today!" Zihe whispered.

Seeing the cold wine and food on the table next to him, Zhang Guoji understood everything in an instant. In previous years, the emperor would definitely come here to accompany her daughter on her birthday, and this year...

"Zihe, you ordered everyone to heat up the wine and food. I will drink a few drinks with my father!" Zhang Yan forced a smile.

Zihe obeyed the order and took the food and took it to the imperial kitchen and heated it back.

"Dad, how are you outside?" Zhang Yan asked.

Zhang Guoji sighed and said, "I, Zhang Guoji, lived for most of my life to know what kind of human feelings are!"

"Dad, you have some cost, and my daughter still has some savings here." Zhang Yan said hurriedly.

"No, no." Zhang Guoji quickly shook his hand, "Dad has benefited from you over the years, and has some savings, and he has nothing to lack. Besides, your expenses in the palace are not small, how can Dad ask for your money!"

"Dad, my daughter knows that you are used to being big, so how can you save? My daughter's money is just my father's money. Dad, you don't have to worry about my daughter. My daughter is also a queen at the age of a daughter. They won't do anything to me." Zhang Yan said with tears in her eyes.

Zhang Guoji shook his head repeatedly and refused to say, "Yan'er, you don't have to worry, you can't starve to death for your father."

Seeing that his father's words were flickering, Zhang Yan insisted on not wanting his own help, there must be hidden information. She looked upright and asked seriously: "Dad, are you hiding something from me?"

Zhang Guoji glanced at the palace maids around him, and Zhang Yan immediately understood and invited all the palace maids and eunuchs in the warm cabinet, leaving only the father and daughter.

Zhang Guoji mysteriously took out a large kraft paper envelope from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yan. He whispered in Zhang Yan's ear: "Yan'er, at this time, Prince Xin asked me to pass it to you, and the person who sent the message asked me to tell you..."

After hearing this, Zhang Yan's face suddenly turned pale and she said in a lost voice: "Dad, what you said is true?"

Zhang Guoji nodded slowly at him.

"Empress, the wine and food have been heated up again. Are you bringing it in now?" At this time, Zihe's voice came from outside the door of the warm cabinet.

Zhang Yan hurriedly hid the cowhide envelope in her arms and returned to calmness and said, "Come in!"

Zihe put the wine and food back on, and Zhang Yan said to her: "Zihe, I have a few family matters to explain to my father. You don't need to serve you here anymore. You can go down and rest."

Zihe glanced at Zhang Guoji in surprise, but still followed the order and went out.

Zhang Guoji looked at Zihe's graceful figure with a deep meaning, while Zhang Yan looked at Zihe's figure with a distant feeling a trace of speechless pain, and said to Zhang Guoji in disbelief: "Dad, is it really her?"

Zhang Guoji shook his head and said, "No one else!"

"Daughter doesn't believe it!" Zhang Yan lowered her head, and a drop of crystal tears overflowed from the corners of her phoenix's eyes.

"Yan'er, you can't be emotional. If you fall, our Zhang family will be over. If you have any, the prince will still be honest, he will always treat you like his own sister!" Zhang Guoji advised earnestly.

After all, Zhang Yan is the mother of a country, and she still has a decision. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and a confident look ejaculated from her phoenix eyes, and said calmly: "Don't worry, dad, my daughter has her own sense of responsibility!"

"Then don't worry, dad." Zhang Guoji said with concern, "But dad can't come to the palace to see you in the future. You should be more careful when doing things and never let them catch any handle."

Zhang Guoji used some wine and vegetables in the warm room and left the palace and returned home.

After Zhang Guoji left, Zhang Yan eagerly opened the cowhide envelope. In addition to Zhu Yinglong's handwritten letter, there were twenty silver notes worth ten thousand taels.

Zhang Yan excitedly unfolded the letter with the fragrance of orchids, and the familiar font appeared in front of her. The letter conveyed the plot that Wei Zhongxian wanted to eliminate with her one by one. The longing was deeply integrated into every sentence. In each word, Zhang Yan was filled with tears. Although the lotus root was broken, the silk was connected. She never thought that the little brother who needed to take care of herself in the palace was now able to take care of her sister. Finally, she looked at the signature and date. She actually wrote it a month and a half ago. It must be a lot of hardships to be able to come to her hands. Although she was reluctant to destroy the letter, she still burned it to ashes in the end, and she could not take it.
