Some officials in Kyoto waited anxiously for a long time, and finally received news about the imperial concubine.
A series of measures aimed at Chang'an County officials have been temporarily cancelled.
This made them breathe a long sigh of relief.
The atmosphere in the court hall has been very strange these past few days. This kind of strangeness is most obviously reflected in His Majesty.
There have been several unscrupulous officials who have been reprimanded in court for making minor mistakes, and several have been demoted.
It was only now that all the officials realized that County Uncle Li's status in His Majesty's heart was probably higher than they expected.
While I was happy, I was naturally a little scared.
I am afraid because if I really choose to confront him head-on, I am afraid that the losses on our side will be too great to bear.
As for being lucky, naturally such a person is no longer in Kyoto, and will most likely not come back again. Otherwise, His Highness the King of Shu's return may be greatly hindered.
No one wants to have such an enemy. Not to mention how many people are standing behind him, just counting the academy, there are so many courtiers tied to him. A check of the accounts is a cleansing in the court, which belongs to the King of Shu.
His Highness's strength really can no longer withstand any torture...
After experiencing some depression and storms, Kyoto has returned to its surface calmness.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Jing put down the memorial, rubbed his brows, and said in a deep voice: "Send more people. Ten of the worshipers in the palace will be sent out. If you can't find anyone, don't come back!"
Chang De's figure exited silently.
In the wide square of Ganlu Hall, a figure moved around, the shadow of the sword was airtight, and an old woman with gray hair stood watching from a distance, sighing leisurely.
After a while, the figure stopped and walked over to this side. Without even looking at the plate of golden egg fried rice on the stone steps, he carried the wine jar on the side and entered the hall.
Even during lunch time in the college, the classroom was empty. Li Xuan looked out the window a little absentmindedly. Another handsome young man came in carrying a food box and placed it in front of him. After taking a look at him, he said nothing.
go out.
Outside the academy, Li Han's originally chubby figure had lost a lot of weight. He was now reprimanding a few young men standing in the corner with his hands behind his back.
"Ten days."
The little maid was sitting in the yard, counting the days on her fingers. Although her face was much paler than before, she still had some energy.
My uncle wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that he had to go to a far away place for something important and it would take a long, long time before he comes back. How long does a long, long time mean? One month or two months?
The young lady is pregnant, she is actually very happy, but her uncle is not here, and even the second young lady has been missing for almost ten days, so she cannot be happy...
Hearing a voice from behind, he looked back, stood up immediately, ran over in a panic, and said: "Miss, don't move, just let me go!"
…
…
There was a lot of space inside the carriage, and it was covered with a thick brocade couch, but it was still a little bumpy when driving on the official road.
These people seemed to be in a hurry. Except for a short stop on the first night due to river congestion, they rushed on the road day and night. In addition to the Taoist nun, there were dozens of people accompanying them. Without exception, they were all masters. Two of them
The people in purple clothes, whom Li Yi had seen at the Heroes Conference, all had the strength of the masters on the Heavenly Ranking. The other people in blue clothes also gave people a good impression.
Not counting the Taoist nun, with such strength, she is considered a considerable force in the world.
The Taoist nun gave him a very strange feeling. Apart from saying a few words to him at the beginning, she never took the initiative to speak again.
Including the method of making colored glaze, she didn't even mention it.
However, the other party agreed to all his various requests out of temptation, which could even be said to be rude and excessive, without hesitation.
The more she behaves like this, the more she gives him the feeling that she has great intentions.
He took out a scroll from his sleeve, which he got from the man in blue. After slowly unfolding it, when he saw the woman on it, doubts and confusion appeared on his face.
"Probably not." After a long time, he shook his head and eliminated a certain unrealistic idea from his mind.
"Holy religion." Li Yi leaned on the carriage and slowly uttered a few words, "What a good thing..."
On another carriage ahead, a middle-aged Taoist nun was sitting cross-legged, holding a thin booklet in her hand.
"June of the first year of Jinghe, Qing'an Mansion, Lijiacun."
"On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, "Magpie Bridge Immortal" made the unknown talent famous in Qing'an Prefecture. On the fifteenth day of August, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, "Shui Diao Ge Tou" was written, and he was called "the best talent in Jingguo"."
"Mastering punishment from heaven, reforming torture, innovating arithmetic, turning the tide, and defeating the envoys of Qi..."
…
After a while, the Taoist nun put the book aside and said, "Invite that guest to come over."
"I obey my orders!"
Immediately, a man turned his horse's head and came to the front of another carriage behind.
He said to the few people standing guard outside the carriage: "It is my duty to invite this guest to come over."
"Shh..." One of them made a silence gesture to him and said: "Keep your voice down."
"Fall asleep again?" The man had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Several people nodded helplessly at the same time.
"Forget it, I'll report it to the empress." The man shook his head helplessly, turned the horse's head again, and walked forward.
He has also seen sleepy people, but this is the first time he has seen people like this who sleep during the day and sleep at night, and are only awake when eating every day.
No wonder the empress is so special to him. After all, there are not many people in the world who are so sleepy.
"Then just wait until he wakes up." After giving the truthful report, there was a pause before a voice came from inside the carriage.
…
…
It was late at night in Kyoto, and there was less than half an hour left before the curfew.
There were almost no pedestrians on the street. From a fence, two slightly tired figures came out.
A few steps behind them, several figures followed closely.
Wan Ruoqing turned her head and glanced, asking: "Zui Mo, are you really going to Zeng's house tomorrow?"
Zeng Zuimo nodded and said, "I want to go there and get my parents' spiritual tablets back."
Wan Ruoqing thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."
Zeng Zuimo shook his head and said, "No need, it's not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den there, I'll be fine by myself."
"Well, I'll wait for you outside Zeng's house tomorrow." Wan Ruoqing nodded, then sighed and said, "I don't know how he is doing. There has been no news from Goulan for a long time."
Zeng Zuimo raised his head, a trace of deep regret appeared on his face.
If she hadn't let Xiaocui lie to him that day, even if she had kept him for just a quarter of an hour longer, wouldn't that thing have happened?
"who!"
Suddenly there was a loud shout from behind, and eight people immediately stepped forward, surrounded Wan Ruoqing and Zeng Zuimo, with their backs to the outside. One of them even unsheathed his weapon, with a vigilant look on his face, and pointed to one side in the distance.
of deep alleys.
"Stop hiding and come out!" A person looked into the darkness and said coldly.
Only the man's words echoed, and there was still no sound coming from the dark alley.
