"There are too many things in the yamen, and I finally got out of here." Lu Wu sat down carelessly, picked up the tea in front of the other party without hesitation and drank it all. It was obvious that he was very familiar with the other party.

I saw that the man in the private room was tall and dressed in casual clothes, but his face was pale and beardless, and his appearance was very feminine. When he saw Lu Wu snatching his tea, he couldn't help but give Lu Wu a glance and said, "You have become more and more rude after so many years after leaving the palace."

"I am a martial artist, so what's the rude or not?" Lu Wu looked at the other party indifferently and then picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Before he came, the feminine man had already ordered a table of dishes, and many of them were loved by Lu Wu.

The feminine man was very patient and kept watching Lu Wu eat. After he finished eating, he burped, and then he spoke again: "It's still the same rule. Is there any movement between the father and son of the Li family?"

"What can I do? My father is a bad gambling man. Now he has owed a lot of debts and doesn't even dare to return the family. Only two poor children are left struggling. If I hadn't been taking care of him, they would have starved to death long ago." Lu Wu took out a toothpick at this time and answered casually while picking his teeth.

"There is no way. The one above kept us staring at their family, and our family dared not neglect it. Especially now that the palace is in trouble now, I guess your mission is about to end." The feminine man spoke again, and his words mentioned "the palace" and his special voice made his identity come out.

"Old Luo, tell me the truth, what's going on with Your Majesty?" When Lu Wu heard the other party mentioning the troublesomeness in the palace, his expression also changed, and then lowered his voice and asked the other party.

The feminine man named Lao Luo also showed a cautious expression when he heard Lu Wu ask about the emperor. After turning his head and looking around, he replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty's health in the past two years, you have been lying on the bed for most of the time, sobering and being confused. Some time ago, Ding Xiang entered the palace, but His Majesty did not recognize him, but His Majesty only knew the queen and the prince were young, so now the court affairs are handled by the queen and several husbands."

When he said this, Lao Luo turned his head and looked around again, and then he spoke again: "The previous incident of the divine bird caused a lot of storm in the city. Your Majesty heard that he had dragged his sick body and insisted on seeing him. As a result, he was frightened and couldn't get sick when he returned to the palace. The imperial doctor has never left the Funing Palace during this period. I guess he is probably going to hang up this time."

When Lu Wu heard Lao Luo's words, he couldn't help but gasp, and then the expression on his face became heavy. After a while, he slowly spoke: "To be disrespectful, if the prince ascends the throne in the future, will the identity of the Li family become more sensitive? Based on my understanding of the queen, I'm afraid she will only strengthen her surveillance of the Li family, right?"

"Brother Wu, you are an old man next to the queen, but you have not been in the palace for many years. I don't know how much the queen has changed now. Especially after the queen handles government affairs on behalf of His Majesty, her mind becomes more and more difficult to figure out. According to my observation, the queen's attitude towards the Li family has changed, and it is even possible that they will be summoned to the court and will be granted a small official position by then. Anyway, their family will not have any threat to the queen." Lao Luo said again at this time.

"Be serious about this?" Lu Wu couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Lao Luo's final analysis.

"It should be impossible to be wrong. After all, we have been monitoring the father and son of the Li family for so many years. The father is a bad gambling man. The only son is too young. If it weren't for the relationship between the person in the palace, I'm afraid the queen wouldn't care about this family at all." Lao Luo said again. His greatest ability in his life was to figure out other people's thoughts. It was precisely because of this ability that he had reached his current position.

"That's true. If this can be done, the Li family will be successful." Lu Wu also spoke again at this time.

However, at the end, he suddenly frowned slightly because he thought that although Li Zhang had no unusual behavior before this period, he seemed to have become much smarter and more steady over the past period, especially today, he scared Hou San away with just one sentence, and that kind of ruthless idea was really not something that a child could think of.

"Brother Wu, in fact, the queen has been talking about your kindness back then. As long as you admit your mistake, you can leave here at any time. At that time, will it be better to be an official than to be a scattered in that small yamen?" At this moment, the old Luo suddenly persuaded him.

"Lao Luo, there is no need to mention this matter. I feel comfortable staying in the yamen, and I don't have to pay attention to the storm in the palace. Unlike you who are scared now, I don't have the intention of becoming an official. When the Li family's business is over, I will find a place to buy a few acres of land and then go home to support my old age!" Lu Wu waved his hand and rejected Lao Luo's kindness.

Seeing Lu Wu rejected, Lao Luo couldn't help but sigh. It was getting late at this time, so he stood up and said, "Forget it, we have said everything we should say. I'll leave first if there is nothing to do. You should still have more snacks on the Li family. Although the job will be over soon, we should not fight at the end. Also, pay more attention to the young one. After all, he is young and doesn't have a future like his father's bad gambling."

"Don't worry, the little one has never read any books and has been mingling with a bunch of little beggars. He has started doing business these days, but he only sells some leftover vegetables or pigs. If he is a little older, he can be a small vendor." Lu Wu smiled again, for some reason, he seemed to be belittling Li Zhang and his son, and deliberately concealed the abnormalities of Li Zhang during this period.

Lao Luo and Lu Wu have been acquaintances for many years, and they meet like this almost every once in a while, so he knows the Li family and his son well, and he never thought that Li Zhang would change in just half a month, so he didn't care at all, and then bowed to Lu Wu and left.

After watching Lao Luo leave, Lu Wu's whole body relaxed and his expression became more and more complicated. Sometimes he didn't know whether he was doing right or wrong, but when he thought of his promise back then, a force seemed to surge in his heart. No matter what the result was, as long as he did his best, he would have a clear conscience in the future.

After Lao Luo left the restaurant, he immediately got into a carriage. Then the coachman whipped the horse, and the carriage also ran wildly on the streets of Tokyo. The pedestrians on the streets also dodged. After all, the Song Dynasty lacked horses, and those who could ride in a carriage were either rich or noble when they went out, and ordinary people could not afford to offend them.

Lao Luo's carriage passed through the streets and finally arrived at the west side of the imperial city before dark. Then he passed through Xihua Gate and entered the imperial city. However, he could not take the car in the imperial city anymore, so Lao Luo got off the car and headed north from the corridor between the Chuigong Hall and the Huangyi Hall. Finally, he came to Funing Hall, which was also the emperor's bedroom. Since the emperor got sick two years ago, the queen has moved here to live, which is convenient for taking care of the emperor's body, and secondly, he can help the emperor handle some government affairs.

In the outer hall of Funing Hall, a large desk was filled with thick memorials. Behind the desk, a middle-aged lady in a backcoat sat there, holding a red pen in her hand and was reviewing the memorials. Although she knew that a large part of the memorials she had reviewed would be rejected and revised by the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, she still reviewed them very seriously.

"Empress, it's time to have dinner." At this moment, an eunuch suddenly rushed into the hall to ask for instructions from the middle-aged lady. This was the third time he had reminded the other party.

"I understand!" The middle-aged lady said without raising her head, not saying that she would eat or not, which made the eunuch below very embarrassed, and finally she had to retreat slowly.

This middle-aged noble lady is the wife of Emperor Zhao Huan, who is the queen of the Song Dynasty. Speaking of Liu E, her life is simply a legend. This woman born in Shu died at a young age and was sold to a silversmith as a child bride.

Later, by chance, Liu E actually entered the Zhao Huan mansion, which was still the King of Han at that time, and became Zhao Huan's first love. Later, although Zhao Huan had countless beauties in the harem, Liu E always occupied a very important position in his heart. Even if Kou Zhun and others opposed it, he finally made Liu E the queen, creating a story of the song girl ascending to the throne of the queen.

Liu E is in her early fifties this year. Although she is no longer young, she may be because of her natural beauty, which makes her look at at most thirty or forty. Although there are some small wrinkles on the corners of her forehead and eyes, it does not seem to affect her beauty. However, as the queen, she has more majesty than ordinary women, which makes people dare not look directly at her.

Lao Luo came from outside the hall. When he saw the queen Liu E who was reviewing the memorials, he immediately took a lighter pace, and then quietly came behind Liu E to stand down. Others needed to report to see Liu E, but he didn't need it, because he was the most beloved eunuch around Liu E. In addition to the old friend of Lu Wu, other people outside the palace, even if the prime minister met him, they would call him "Qingui".

Liu E didn't seem to notice Lao Luo's arrival, and still lowered her head to review the memorial at her desk. The candle wick next to her was long, so Lao Luo would pick up the silver cutters next to her to cut off a piece, making the light of the candle brighter, making it easier for Liu E to see the words on the memorial clearly.
