Yu Chigong admired Lihua's intelligence and cleverness, and thought her cunning appearance was very cute. Sometimes he deliberately teased her to see how she would fight back against him.
But this time the thief's cleverness was used to avoid him, and he was so successful that Yuchi Gong became unhappy.
After hiding for a long time, he was so angry that his teeth and palms were itching at the same time. He wanted to catch her and beat her, but he was helpless.
Yuchi Gong was helpless. The little thief knew how to avoid him. Whether she went to Tingli Courtyard or Zhuangning Palace, she could avoid him perfectly.
Take Tingliyuan as an example. The little thief went out early, and he had to go to court early every day, so the two of them couldn't touch him.
When the day was over, the little thief was not in Tingli Courtyard. He was not even there for the whole day. It was impossible to find her in Tingli Courtyard.
Yuchi Gong happened to be less busy than before, so he went to Zhuangning Palace to see the Queen Mother and see what the little thief was doing.
But I don’t know how people calculated it. When he went to court, the Queen Mother happened to be taking a rest after being tired, and she was said to be preparing meals for the Queen Mother. In short, there was always something to prepare.
Since the Queen Mother is here, Yuchi Gong can't make a big show of looking for someone to sit and talk with his mother.
Yuchi Gong was delighted with the changes in the Queen Mother. She was tired of shouting, weak in speaking, and even gave up:
"Gong'er, Aijia knows that you were tired from practicing martial arts in the past, but I didn't know you were so tired. Aijia just walked an extra lap today and practiced three kinds of boxing. Oops, I can't lose this arm. Oops, this
My calves are so sore that I can’t stand it any longer. Aijia won’t be able to practice any more tomorrow..."
The Queen Mother was tired from shouting, but she was full of energy, and her complexion was visibly better than before.
Yuchi Gong hurriedly expressed sympathy and comfort, and a lot of time passed when his mother complained.
He was just a little more leisurely than before, but many arrangements still needed to be decided by him. Just after sitting for a while, young eunuchs came one after another to report that a certain person came to Cangchen Hall to ask for an audience.
Yuchi Gong had no choice but to go back.
Later, he made a special trip to Zhuangning Palace during the lunch break. He found that the thief was there at that time, but he was helping the Queen Mother to dredge her meridians and massage and apply hot compresses. It was inconvenient for him to go in.
Separated by a wall, Yuchi Gong was stunned to see no one.
Later, he chose different times to go there, but the little thief always found a way to avoid him, and he couldn't even see a corner of his clothes.
Yu Chigong thought that Lihua was still angry about what happened that night, so he could only use Zhang Defa's mouth to seek peace with Lu Jieyu.
But this servant who was having trouble doing things was like him, unable to see the little thief himself.
Yu Chigong's mood was very complicated. He was indeed a shrewd thief, able to avoid people without leaking.
After not seeing the little thief for several days, Yuchi Gong reached the limit of his patience. He felt helpless, funny, and itchy in his teeth.
He thought fiercely, he was not a savage beast, why should she hide from him? Couldn't she just vent her anger?
If she is still dissatisfied, the worst he can do is to let her see what he is doing, so why should she avoid him?
Yu Chigong had never experienced such a situation where he had nowhere to use his strength and punched cotton.
Seeing that the emperor's eyes were becoming more and more unkind, Zhang Defa finally brought back the news that the emperor had longed for.
"Let it go?" Yu Chigong put down his ink pen and looked up at Zhang Defa.
Zhang Defa bowed and replied: "Yes, Master Wu first asked you to make the decision. When the slave said that you had made up his mind, he said that he would be released. Your heart is pure and kind, and you don't care about the losses, which makes the slave admire you very much."
Yuchi Gong chuckled lightly, as if the spring breeze was blowing by, his mood suddenly became clear.
He knew early on that the little thief would definitely understand him. Doesn't this change before and after mean that he understood what he meant?
Seeing the emperor's smile, Zhang Defa sighed secretly and asked cautiously: "Long live Lord, what do you think of those two people?"
Although the emperor had previously said that he wanted to look at the suffering master Wu Meiren, Zhang Defa still wanted to ask again because he was afraid that he would do the wrong thing and lose the last bit of his pitiful sacred heart.
Yu Chigong was in a good mood, but they were just two insignificant people: "It's just as she wished."
I thought that the little thief's anger should have subsided, he should no longer be angry with him, he should not hide from him anymore, and he would find an opportunity to look at her.
Zhang Defa agreed and went out to handle the matter.
At this moment, a young eunuch came out of the palace and said, "Long live the Lord, I have an audience with Mr. Hu from the Department of Internal Security."
Yuchi Gong perked up and said, "Xuan."
Hu Feifei received the announcement and walked into the hall with a friendly smile on his face.
Zhang Defa felt strange when he passed by someone. This person obviously looked ordinary and had nothing special about him, but whenever he saw this person, he always felt like a close friend, as if he had known him for a long time.
When you realize it, you will feel good about it.
Maybe it was because Hu Feifei always had a smile on his face, Zhang Defa thought.
Hu Feifei bowed and stood up to report the latest progress of the case:
"The pot containing the eggs of the two evil spirits is unique in style and is not common in the Central Plains. I sent people to investigate secretly. I visited many places in the past few days and finally got the news from a traveling merchant. Long live my lord, guess what?"
Yu Chigong smiled when he heard this, Hu Feifei was good at everything, but he liked to chat with everyone he met, and his few words would make people feel heartbroken.
It is Hu Feifei's quality that made him very suitable for selecting and training shadow guards in the past. He can always easily find good prospects and problems.
Now this slave has gone to the Department of Internal Health, and the transfer of powers has been carried out without causing too much turmoil. The Department of Internal Health has been reorganized and everyone in it has been thoroughly investigated.
Yuchi Gong thought to himself, if this servant had been there when he met Wu Dingbang a few days ago, maybe he wouldn't have to say anything, and this servant could help him finish the family chat between his father-in-law and his son-in-law.
But now, ha~
Yuchi Gong did not accept this trick, and said with a half-smile: "People who asked me to guess in the past, what do you think?"
Hu Feifei smiled and said: "Look at this slave's mouth, it's an old habit."
This time he didn't dare to hide behind the scenes and explained what he found out straight to the point.
From the traveling merchant, Hu Feifei found out that the pot was from a foreign race.
He sent people to look through the classics and check the government's dealings with foreigners over the years, especially the tributes paid by foreigners, but nothing was found.
So Hu Feifei changed his direction and checked whether there were people and things related to foreign races in the harem.
This investigation revealed that during the reign of the late emperor, a foreign concubine was donated to the country.
However, the concubine was not favored by the late emperor, and it was later said that she died not long after due to acclimatization.
Yuchi Gong asked: "What tribe does that foreign concubine come from?"
Hu Feifei named a clan.
Yuchi Gong's cold eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, this tribe borders the Xiongnu. It has a small population and was annexed by the Xiongnu a few years ago."
Hu Feifei's face was full of praise: "Long Live Lord is very insightful. That's why this clan is so small that it can't even reach the country. It doesn't attract anyone's attention. Even the minister of Honglu Temple doesn't know much about it."
