Chu Yiqing couldn't help but pursed his lips and asked: "Have you placed someone beside me? How come you know everything I do?"
Li Huang smiled and said: "You don't know if I have planted someone? But a few days ago, you said you saw Liu Yi, so I sent people to pay attention in the city. I just found his place of residence recently, but I saw him entering To the Prince's Mansion!"
Chu Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief: "I really can't hide anything from you. I originally wanted to give you a surprise!"
Li Huang turned to look at her: "Surprise?"
"Liu Yi and Liu Gan had a falling out, and Liu Gan was kicked out of the Rao Kingdom. Just now at the Prince's Mansion, Liu Yi proposed to Mai Xiang, and Liu Yi also helped us with an idea!" Chu Yiqing immediately told Liu Yi's idea. , and said: "If you don't want to go to war with Rao, this is a way!" [
Li Huang frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Can Liu Yi be trusted?"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "He has been by my side in those years. That child has a pure nature. I should not be blind to the latest chapter of Rebirth - The Daughter of the Deep Palace!"
Li Huang nodded and said: "We can discuss the issue with Rao Guo again, but if Mai Xiang marries him, it will be for the rest of her life. You have to really think about it!"
When Chu Yiqing heard that he actually put Mai Xiang's matter first, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Huang, you are becoming more and more emotional, you don't look like an emperor at all!"
Li Huang was startled, then seemed to realize it, and immediately couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled: "Maybe it's because during the time I lived in Shangjia Village, and seeing such simple and kind-hearted people in the Zhao family, I really can't bear to see them being treated badly. harm!"
"Maixiang chose the road herself. We can only help but cannot walk for her!" Chu Yiqing sighed, "I also know that Liu Yi's life experience is not the best destination for Maixiang. But the fate of two people is destined by God, just like us, our identities are very different, don’t we work hard to be together?”
Li Huang smiled and said: "As long as we are here, Liu Yi will not dare to make any mistakes! But regarding the matter of the Holy Spring, the old people of Shura Kingdom only listen to you, and you may be asked to come forward!"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "Okay, maybe I haven't gone out for a long time. I'll take this opportunity to take Liu Yi and Mai Xiang back to Chu Han. It's just that the blessing is too small..."
"There are Nanny Xu and Nanny Yang in the palace, so you can rest assured. If it doesn't work out, I will secretly bring my mother into the palace!" Li Huang said in a low voice.
Chu Yiqing thought for a while and whispered: "That's fine, but I have to leave quietly this time when I leave the palace, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!"
Chu Yiqing whispered in Li Huang's ear, and Li Huang nodded quickly.
On the second day, word came out in the Qiankun Palace that the queen had a fever and had some red spots on her face. She was afraid that the disease would be contagious, so she closed the palace to rest. Everything was reported to the queen through the concierge. After reviewing it, he ordered it to go to each palace.
In Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor heard that the queen was ill, and immediately couldn't help but ask Yingrun: "Why did such a good person suddenly become ill? Has the imperial doctor checked her?"
Yingrun quickly replied: "Master Lei personally went to the palace to have a look, and said that it might be caused by an allergy that the empress accidentally contracted while working in the fields a few days ago. She said it was not a serious illness, but it was an eyesore after all, so Just rest in the palace for a few days! The empress will leave all the arrangements for the Prince's Palace to the servants. Don't worry, the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor will do her best to decorate Prince Lei's Palace and will never delay the princess' wedding. period!"
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor nodded and said: "You are well-behaved and speak smartly. No wonder the Queen is happy to leave everything to you! But there is one thing. Did Mr. Lei say that this disease cannot be cured by anyone? Gong'er can you still do it?
In the palace, if you are someone special, why not let Aijia take you with you for two days first?"
Yingrun hurriedly said: "You are not a human being. Mr. Lei has seen it. If you are a human being, wouldn't the emperor send someone to send the little prince here?"
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor nodded and said: "That's right. If that's the case, then you can go down and talk about anything else!"
Yingrun responded quickly and glanced at Aunt Zhu before leaving. Aunt Zhu's eyes moved and she followed Yingrun quietly out of the palace.
"Miss Yingrun!" Nanny Zhu stepped forward with a faint smile on her face, "The warehouse has been counting for a few days. Now that the Queen is ill, the counting of the warehouse will be..." [
"Although the Queen is ill, her daily work must still be maintained, and the calculations are still the same! Also, Aunt Zhu, that day you had someone take away the sky-blue threaded jade plate that Dai Guo paid tribute to. The Queen also said,
It was an old thing from the Rao Kingdom. I originally wanted to put it in the county prince's palace to prevent the princess from getting homesick, but by chance, the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor took it away!" Yingrun said with a smile.
Grandma Zhu was stunned and speechless for a moment.
"I told the Queen Mother that I am afraid that the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother had thought of this a long time ago. Otherwise, the jade plate had been in the warehouse for so many years and the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother had never found it. Why did the Queen Mother look for it when Princess Dai wanted to marry in?
Yes, Nanny Zhu, don’t you think so?” Yingrun smiled while staring closely at Nanny Zhu’s face.
Aunt Zhu's face turned pale, but she still nodded and said: "We are slaves, how can we dare to guess the master's intentions? We only have sex but no love, CEO, get out! Read the full text!"
"That's right, Nanny Zhu, don't worry about it. I just entered the palace with the queen and don't understand anything. From now on, I still have a lot to ask Nanny Zhu for advice!" Yingrun smiled again and looked up.
Looking at the time, he said: "When the Queen is sick, I have to inform everyone from palace to palace, so I can't do the counting today. Then Aunt Zhu, do you think we can go early tomorrow? It's okay for you to do the counting now.
Isn’t it a business trip?”
Aunt Zhu responded quickly, but her hands kept trembling.
Yingrun pretended not to see anything, bowed and said goodbye.
As soon as Yingrun left, Fufeng and Fuliu hurried forward and asked, "Mommy, what should I do? From what Yingrun said, she seems a little suspicious!"
Aunt Zhu said bitterly: "It's all you who have caused me trouble. The jade plate is usually a dead thing if it is left there, but it is also priceless. If the queen discovers it then, just wait until it sinks into the lotus pond!"
"
Fufeng was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
Aunt Zhu was rubbing her hands nervously as she walked towards the palace gate. In fact, what she was most afraid of was not the jade plate. She didn't break it anyway, but she was afraid that Yingrun would find out the leaks in the warehouse. The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor was in charge.
After so many years in the warehouse, everyone there knew that she didn't like to look at the ledgers, so she deducted a lot of money overtly and covertly. When the time came to find out, there would probably be a lot of trouble, but she was the one who bore the brunt of it!
Just when Madam Zhu was restless, all the palaces received news that the Queen was ill, and naturally there were many speculations.
In the palace of Princess Rou, Mei Changzai had just arrived, and Gong Yuying and Situ Yu'er had also arrived. The four of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and they understood each other tacitly!
"Tell me, what kind of medicine did the queen buy in this gourd? Others don't know, but I don't know about the queen's body. I heard that the queen's martial arts skills are incredible. She killed so many soldiers by herself and stabbed Emperor Luo. How can she be a little person?
Can a minor illness be overcome?" Mei Changzai, who had never thought much, was the first to speak.
"Yes, the queen comes from a martial arts family and has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Prince Yu was no match for her back then. It's really strange to say that she was ill and closed the palace without seeing anyone!" Princess Rou also muttered in a low voice.
Although Gong Yuying and Situ Yu'er were close to Concubine Rou these days, because they had common interests at that time, when they heard that they doubted the queen's condition, they agreed: "Do you think it will be possible?"
Is the Queen taking this opportunity to test us?"
"Test us? Why test us?" Mei Chang was stunned and asked quickly.
"What ideas do you have in mind? Don't think that we don't know. Think about it. A few days ago, the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother gave the key to the warehouse. The queen is now sending people to count the warehouse. After so many years, that warehouse cannot be
A clear account is accurate and clear, but at this critical moment, the Queen suddenly fell ill again and no one was seen. Could it be..." Gong Yuying said slowly, with phoenix eyes.
A tilt seemed to remind everyone of something.
Concubine Rou quickly thought of a possibility, but she had a delicate mind and naturally did not point it out. She just smiled and said: "The key to the warehouse has been in the hands of the Queen Mother since the death of the Queen. If you want to check it, you can't find it here.
Come on, what are we afraid of?"
"That's right, what are we afraid of!" Mei Changzai also quickly helped, but he felt a little guilty in his heart. After all, no one's palace is monolithic!
"Look, let's quickly check the accounts in our own palace, the things the emperor has given us, etc., lest the things in the warehouse don't match up in the future and we will be judged!" Situ Yu'er sneered.
Situ Yu'er's words suddenly hit everyone's nerves. Who doesn't have any relatives outside the palace? If there are relatives who are in need of emergency help, then the things rewarded by the emperor are just decorations in the palace... [
After Situ Yu'er said this, she stood up and said to Gong Yuying: "Okay, let's go. Let's go back and do some calculations. In case someone's hands and feet are not clean and they secretly transport things out of the palace,
If you can’t find it when the time comes, won’t we be responsible for it?”
Situ Yu'er and Gong Yuying left, Mei Changzai said coldly: "Why don't you just rely on your family's wealth? What can you do if you have money? In the end, why don't you end up alone in this palace with us?"
Concubine Rou rubbed her forehead and said: "Okay, it's already this time, why are you still fighting? You should go back and take a look at the objects in your palace. I have a headache, so I won't give Almighty Crazy Young Master the full text!"
Mei Changzai had no choice but to say goodbye.
After Chang Zai left, Concubine Rou frowned tightly. She had been in the palace for more than ten years, and the family had been supported by her. She had already had people secretly give away the items that the emperor had given her earlier.
I went to the palace, if there is really an investigation...
The queen's illness suddenly caused panic in the harem.
Yingrun returned to Qiankun Hall, entered the inner hall with a happy face, and whispered: "Reporting to Mrs. Tai, everything has been done as Mrs. Tai said!"
At this moment, the woman sitting on the bed wearing a floral dress and a white gauze on her head turned around and slowly lifted the veil from her face. It was Concubine Qing.
"In the next few days, I am afraid that someone from each palace will come to bribe you. You will write down who came and what they said. Do you understand?" Concubine Qing said in a low voice.
Yingrun responded quickly.
"I will clean up this mess for you!" Concubine Qing slowly raised the corners of her lips with a cold look in her eyes.
At this moment, in a small tea pavilion fifty miles away from the capital, Chu Yiqing, Liu Yi, and Mai Xiang dismounted from their horses to take a break and have a cup of tea before leaving.
"You three gentlemen, what kind of tea do you want to drink? We have a good Longjing here?" the tea waiter came forward to greet him enthusiastically.
Chu Yiqing looked at the inconspicuous tea stall and smiled faintly: "Just bring a pot of coarse tea!"
The tea waiter responded quickly.
When the hot tea was served, Chu Yiqing drank a cup first, then looked at Liu Yi and Mai Xiang who were sitting across from each other, and smiled and said: "I originally wanted to invite Sister Jin Yu's family to the capital, but I'm afraid my family is busy at the moment.
I can’t leave, but I also want to go to Lucheng, so I’ll take you along with me!”
Liu Yi quickly said: "Aunt Chu, even if you don't mention it, I will go with you to see my elder brother!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and was about to drink the second cup when she saw a man dressed as a merchant not far away staring at her furtively. When she looked over, the man who looked like a merchant quickly lowered his head and pretended to drink tea.
Look.
Chu Yiqing's eyes darkened. Was she being targeted when she came out of the capital? She gave Liu Yi a wink calmly, and Liu Yi immediately became alert. He stood up first and said, "Let's get on the road quickly."
Well, there’s still a long way to go!”
Mai Xiang nodded and took the time to get on the horse.
The three of them got on the horse, but the merchant-looking man did not follow. Chu Yiqing frowned. Could it be that she was too careful? However, during the journey after that, the three of them were very energetic. For three days
After that, we finally arrived at Lucheng.
At this moment, on the border of Dongchaer, five miles away from Zhujiazui, Liu Gan was dressed in casual clothes, staring at the dry land. At this time in previous years, Dongchaer was green and green, with flocks of cattle and sheep, but this year, due to
After half a year of drought, there are fewer and fewer aboriginal people on the Dongchaer grassland. The remaining ones are all the old, weak, sick and disabled. If we don't find a solution, Dongchaer will become a human area sooner or later!
Liu Gan sighed quietly. In the bottom of his heart, apart from the desolation he saw in front of him, there was also the person in his heart.
Five miles away in front of him was the country where the person in his mind lived. It was obviously very close and could be seen at a glance, but it felt like it was on the horizon.
He broke his promise to her. Maybe if they meet again, they will be enemies!
Liu Qian suddenly remembered everything that happened in Shangjia Village before. Under the moonlit night, the man taught him ancient martial arts and tactics and strategies. Looking at the land in front of him, those fleeting beautiful scenes flooded into his heart like a tide. Supreme Lord
Evil police officer.
If this is the arrangement of fate, why is it such a trick of God's will?
The terrible thing about fate is that a seemingly accidental encounter can immediately become the biggest contradiction and pain in life. It cannot be escaped or changed, and even turning back is a delusion.
"Your Majesty!" Alu's voice interrupted Liu Qian's thoughts.
Aru stepped forward, lowered his voice, and whispered: "Your Majesty, let's go back. If Timur knows that Your Majesty has left the palace privately, maybe..."
"What might happen? Timur, if I hadn't sympathized with him as a veteran of three dynasties, I would have asked him to retire and return to his hometown!" Liu Gan said coldly, with a stern expression.
"But Timur has been obsessed with the Queen's affairs. Besides, the Emperor has no heirs these years..." Aru tried to persuade Liu Gan, "Your Majesty, you really shouldn't leave the city at this time!"
Liu Gan frowned: "If you can get the holy spring, why would I come all the way here?"
Aru lowered his head in shame and whispered: "Although there are not many people on the other side, they are all masters. In addition, the Holy Spring Cave is now full of mechanisms. We really..."
"Okay, call General Lu here, I want to hear his plans!" Liu Qian said in a low voice.
Aru went quickly.
Not long after Aru left, a black figure quickly swept across from the land of Li State. When he saw Liu Gan, he quickly knelt down and saluted.
"Is there any news about King Huinan?" Liu Qian lowered his voice when he saw the man.
"King Huinan has been in the capital for the past three months, but he went to the Prince's Mansion a few days ago, and then left the city three days ago. Calculating the distance, the prince should have almost reached Lucheng!" The secret guard reported quickly.
"What is he doing in Lucheng? Is there anyone else with him?" Liu Qian was startled and asked urgently.
"There are two other women, one is a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other is in her twenties, wearing a woman's bun, dressed in white, and very beautiful!" the secret guard said quickly.
Liu Gan was stunned, could it be her? Is she really here?
"Master..." The secret guard raised his eyes uncertainly and called in a low voice after not seeing his master's instructions for a long time.
"Find a way to find their whereabouts!" Liu Qian whispered, "Remember, be quiet and don't alert others!"
"Yes!" the secret guard responded quickly and quickly disappeared into the grassland as far as the eye could see.
There was a breeze blowing on the clear and empty grassland, with a hint of earthy smell in the wind. Liu Gan stood there in a daze for a long time.
After Chu Yiqing took Liu Yi and Mai Xiang to Lucheng, they didn't dare to waste a quarter of an hour and went directly to Zhujiazui along the official road.
Zhujiazui was ambushed a few days ago. Some people in the village were killed or injured. Paper money was everywhere on the village road. In addition, there were rumors that Rao Guo was going to invade. Many people went to the city to avoid trouble, so the three of them rode away. I haven't seen anyone for a long time, and it looks very desolate. It has no longer been the prosperous scene it once was.
Spring wheat grew well on both sides of the ditch built by the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, but because no one had taken care of it for a long time, it had been submerged by mugwort. There were also some scattered lotus roots left in the lotus root field outside the village.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chu Yiqing couldn't help but sigh. The existence of the holy spring had brought great disaster to the villagers of Zhujiazui!
