After returning to the courtyard, Lou Yueqing summoned the secret guard arranged by Xiao Zhenglin to find out who revealed Xiao Tianhuang's news.

No matter how smart Xiao Yurao is, no matter how many doubts there are in this matter, it is absolutely impossible for her to guess it out of thin air, after all, it is too unbelievable, unless someone tells her about it, and this person, as expected, must have been in contact with Xiao Tianhuang, or someone who has been in and out of another courtyard, it is not difficult to check.

After instructing this, she went to Xiao Tianhuang's room, Xiao Tianhuang had already fallen asleep, and the little girl who was waiting said that Xiao Tianhuang had never spoken today, and the whole person was stunned, as if she had no soul, but she didn't refuse to let her eat, but she didn't eat much, and at lunchtime, she only ate half a bowl of blood-tonifying porridge, drank medicine, and then fell asleep, and now she has slept for half an hour.

Lou Yueqing sat on the edge of the couch, looking at Xiao Tianhuang's pale face like white paper, her eyes overflowed with a trace of pity, Xiao Tianhuang was not sleeping peacefully, her brows were twisted, as if she was dreaming, her eyes kept trembling, and her hands were also dragging the quilt, very uneasy.

Lou Yueqing stretched out her hand and gently wrapped Xiao Tianhuang's hand holding the quilt, the already white hand was now white and blue due to excessive blood loss, revealing a trace of coolness, like the flawless mutton fat white jade.

Caressed Xiao Tianhuang's cheek with one hand, it was the same cold, Lou Yueqing couldn't help frowning, lifted the internal breath, and injected it into her body from her hand, which made Xiao Tianhuang's body not so cold.

After a while, feeling that Xiao Tianhuang's body was warm, Lou Yueqing withdrew her hand, and then lifted the quilt, put her hand inside, and then pulled the quilt up a little, tucked the corners of the quilt, hooked the corners of her mouth, smiled knowingly, stood up, and glanced at the maid on the side, who knew her head, and then she walked out.

Hearing that Rong Zhi had no meal again, Lou Yueqing instructed Ming Shu to pass the meal, and then walked into the study, but unexpectedly, Rong Zhi was not dealing with government affairs, but sitting behind the table, leaning there slightly, looking up and closing his eyes.

She raised her eyebrows, walked over, walked around the table to behind him, and raised her hand to rub his brain, the movement was very light and soft, although a little rusty, but it was extremely comfortable.

After a while, he finally raised his hand, held Lou Yueqing's hand, stopped Lou Yueqing's movements, and then slowly opened his eyes.

The corners of Lou Yueqing's mouth hooked slightly, leaned forward slightly, leaned against his face, and asked softly, "Are you better?"

"Hmm!"

Lou Yueqing asked, "But what happened to Chu State?"

Rong Zhi shook his head: "It's not a big deal, don't worry!"

Lou Yueqing raised her eyebrows, but didn't ask much.

At this time, Rong Zhi picked up a porcelain ** on the table and handed it to her.

"What is this?"

Rong Zhi explained: "The medicine made of red leaf grass sent by Uncle Shi is said to be able to curb the cold poison in your body!"

Hearing this, Lou Yueqing couldn't help but be surprised, red leaf grass?

This thing is extremely difficult to find, Duanmu Huxi went to the Western Regions to find one for a long time, because it grows in a place with a volcano, the medicine is extremely strong, it is said that ordinary people can prolong life after eating, people who practice martial arts can increase their strength by eating it, and injured people can heal quickly after eating, and her situation, although it can not completely detoxify the cold poison, but it can also solve a little bit of toxicity, it is indeed able to curb the cold poison, but the medicine made of the one Duanmu Huxi found was used by Xiyan to save Zhao Qi, when Zhao Qi was injured by her life was in danger, and the medicine pulled Zhao Qi back from the ghost gate。

Back then, Duanmu Huxi went to the Western Regions to find it after two years of searching, and he almost died in the volcano, but he didn't expect Mu Ke to find it, and he made a pill and ordered someone to send it.

Rong Zhi said again: "Uncle Shi said in the letter, let you eat it next time you are poisoned!"

Lou Yueqing wrapped the porcelain ** in the palm of her hand, and chuckled: "Then I have to thank Uncle Shi!"

Rong Zhi said expressionlessly: "I have already ordered the person who sent this thing back with a thank you letter!"

The implication is that it is already grateful, so there is no need to do more.

Lou Yueqing glanced at him angrily, her eyes full of helplessness.

Rong Zhi smiled, and then said: "By the way, Lou Yichen ordered someone to send a letter in the fold, which is written by his mother-in-law, asking how long we will stay in Liguo?"

As he spoke, as if by magic, he picked up an open letter from the table and gave it to her.

Lou Yueqing heard that it was Mrs. Ning Guo's handwritten letter, hurriedly took it, opened it and saw that it was Mrs. Ning Guo's handwriting, and asked her about her situation, and the crackling two pieces of paper were full of writing, and finally asked when she would go back.

The corners of Lou Yueqing's mouth couldn't help grinning, and she smiled very happily.

Rong Zhi looked at her happy appearance, and couldn't help but be stunned, it seemed that it had been a long time since he had seen such a smile on her face.

During this time, she rarely smiled, although she never smiled in front of him, but most of them were forced to smile without worrying him, the bitterness in her heart, he didn't understand, even if she occasionally smiled, it was all with endless bitterness and sadness, and now she smiled like a child, but it made him feel distressed.

Perhaps, it was because of Jing Fei that she became more and more grateful and dependent on Mrs. Ning Guo, so she was so happy when she received Mrs. Ning Guo's handwritten letter.

In terms of her attitude, Jing Fei, as her biological mother, and Mrs. Ning Guo, as her adoptive mother, formed an ironic contrast.

Rong Zhi looked at her sitting directly on his lap, and replied to Mrs. Ning Guo with a pen, his face was overjoyed, like a child, his eyes were slightly dark, and he didn't say much.

Soon, when she leaves here and returns to Chu State, she shouldn't be depressed and sad all day long.

……

Tang Hui's movements were very fast, and the news came from the palace on the second day, in the early dynasty where hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, Tang Hui was dressed in plain clothes, took off her hairpin without makeup, knelt outside the hall to ask for guilt, Xiao Zhenglin announced his entry into the palace, and after that, Tang Hui in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, poisoned and brutalized the people of the north that year, ordered people to spread rumors, sent people to intercept and kill Lou Yueqing, and then confessed to the crime of confusing the royal bloodline, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

Lou Yueqing couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the secret guard coming, but she didn't expect Tang Hui to be so straightforward, she didn't hesitate at all, and she didn't leave any room for herself.

Xiao Zhenglin obviously didn't expect Tang Hui to come to this hand, he didn't know the deal reached between Lou Yueqing and Tang Hui, so Tang Hui came to this one, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he immediately detained Tang Hui back to Weiyang Palace and sealed the palace for punishment.

This matter is not trivial, naturally it is not Tang Hui who can be convicted by pleading his head, after all, although all of them know that this is true, but after all, after all, after it is about a country, and it involves the Tang family, who is the first family of Liguo, it is always necessary to investigate and confirm that what is said is true, before he can issue an edict to convict, and it is also an explanation to the people of the world.

And when this matter came out, it almost exploded in the pot, and I am afraid that in a few days, the entire Liguo will be boiling.

After Lou Yueqing heard about this, she stood under the cloister and did not have any words or actions for a long time.

After that, she no longer asked about it, since she came back from the palace that day, she has never gone out, Qinglixuan's side is also very calm as she wishes, only Jing Heng comes over once or twice a day, Xiao Tianhuang is still very obedient to eat and drink medicine, everything is very cooperative, just don't speak, sit all day long, Lou Yueqing is helpless, and no longer ask for anything, after all, Xiao Tianhuang dispelled the idea of seeking death, she is already satisfied.

But what she had commanded two days ago had come to fruition.

The ones sent to her by Xiao Zhenglin are all the best in the Black Dragon Shield, and it naturally doesn't take long to investigate this matter.

When she saw the name on the note sent by the secret guard, Lou Yueqing was silent for a long time and then summoned someone in.

Yes, this person is the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, Qi Zheng.

After Qi Zheng came in, he immediately knelt down and saluted, but for a long time, Lou Yueqing didn't ask him to get up, just looked at him quietly, his face was pale.

Although Qi Zheng had doubts, he didn't dare to speak without permission, let alone make any movements, so he knelt on one knee steadily.

I don't know how long it took, Lou Yueqing suddenly spoke: "I heard that Commander Qi is not married yet?"

Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, although he had doubts, he still replied respectfully: "Her Royal Highness the princess, indeed!"

"Hmm......" After a moment of silence, Lou Yueqing said: "That's surprising, Commander Qi is not young, right?"

Qi Zheng immediately said: "Back to the princess, the last general is the year of the establishment!"

Hearing this, Lou Yueqing suddenly smiled, looked at Qi Zheng meaningfully, and said, "Thirty?

Xiao Zhenglin pays attention to governing the country by force, so the military of Liguo is definitely the strongest among the four countries, and his selection of talents will not be confined to wealthy families, as long as he has talent, even if it is a beggar, he will use it, and Qi Zhengben was born from the grassroots, enlisted in the army at a young age, because he was excellent in all aspects, and entered the Yulin Army after layers of screening, and then was appreciated and promoted by Zhou Ding, the commander of the Yulin Army, and rose step by step, becoming one of the four deputy commanders of the Yulin Army.

Xiao Zhenglin sent him to protect her, and she naturally wanted to find out, so she knew about it.

Qi Zheng couldn't guess why Lou Yueqing asked why, but he still replied in a proper manner: "If you go back to the princess, the last general is indeed from the grassroots!"

Lou Yueqing nodded, and asked again, "Who is in the family?"

Qi Zheng's eyes were slightly dark, as if he was a little painful, and said in a low voice: "The last general is alone, and there is no one else in the family!"

Lou Yueqing listened to the words and fell silent again.

Qi Zheng didn't dare to ask more, and respectfully maintained a kneeling posture on one knee.

After a while, Lou Yueqing said lightly: "You get up first!"

Qi Zheng immediately thanked him and stood up.

However, as soon as he stood up, he heard Lou Yueqing ask, "Does Commander Qi know a woman named Fang Qinglan?"

Qi Zheng was immediately shocked in his heart, and suddenly looked up at Lou Yueqing, stunned for a while.

"The palace has sent someone to find out, this woman was the daughter of the prefect of Fuzhou, and the commander of Qi is an old acquaintance, and the commander of Qi is in love, but Fang Qinglan's father dislikes the poor family of the commander of Qi, so he does not agree with your contact, when the Marquis of Dingyuan Wei Changxuan passed through Fuzhou, fell in love with her, and brought her back to the capital, once very favored, and named her as the side lady, and you also came to the capital for her, intending to snatch her back, but because of this, the Marquis of Dingyuan, sent someone to assassinate you, but did not kill you, in order to get ahead to recapture her, you enlisted in the army, desperately climbed to a high position, so many years, you have been thinking about her in your heart, So it's already thirty but there is no wife and concubine, and because of this, your old mother is angry to death, and you have been secretly communicating with her, but you didn't expect to be accidentally discovered by Xiao Yurao......" The voice was long, looking at Qi Zheng's pale face and panicked expression with a smile, she raised her eyebrows and asked: "Commander Qi, what this palace said, is there anything wrong?"

Qi Zheng knew that he was done this time, he didn't explain, and he didn't plead, he just knelt down in a daze, and asked for guilt with a guilty face: "The last general is guilty, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to give you the guilt!"

Lou Yueqing didn't say anything, but asked lightly: "Say, what did you and Xiao Yurao say?"

Qi Zheng said in a low voice: "The last general just told the eldest princess that Princess Changle is not dead, and the person is by Her Royal Highness's side, and Her Royal Highness the princess cares about her very much!"

Lou Yueqing raised her eyebrows: "That's it?"

Qi Zheng smiled bitterly: "Don't dare to deceive the princess, although the last general is subject to the eldest princess, he has never forgotten his identity and responsibilities, and the rest dare not disclose even if they know, it is ashamed to say that if it is just the life of the last general, the last general will never betray even if he dies, but the eldest princess threatens with Qinglan's life, and the last general does not dare to disobey, so ...... Please also ask Her Royal Highness the princess to forgive her sins!"

He was simply.

With an inexplicable smile, Lou Yueqing asked, "What do you think, what should you do?"

Qi Zheng thought for a while and said, "The last general has the great trust of His Majesty to do such a betrayal, and he should ...... Capital offense!"

In the last two words, he said a little relieved, but it seemed to carry a hint of heaviness.

When Lou Yueqing heard this, her smile deepened: "That...... What about Fang Qinglan?"

Qi was startled, and suddenly looked up at Lou Yueqing, his face trembling slightly.

Lou Yueqing raised her eyebrows and asked: "You are a traitor, and your sin is unforgivable, but this woman is the one who caused you to betray, what do you say this palace should do with her?"

Qi Zheng immediately bowed his head and said urgently: "Please also ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to let her go, she doesn't know about this, and she is willing to bear all the blame, I just ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to spare her life!"

Lou Yueqing heard this, and sneered: "Even if this palace can spare her, she is afraid that she will not escape death, no matter what your relationship is, since she has become a person of Dingyuan Marquis, and also gave birth to children for Dingyuan Hou, she should have been her side wife in An'an, but she broke off with you and secretly communicated with you, and now that the matter has been revealed, do you think the Wei family will let her go?"

When Qi Zheng heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.

Immediately, he immediately bowed his head to the ground, and pleaded in a humble tone: "I beg Her Royal Highness the Princess to be gracious and save her life, and she will be at the disposal of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Lou Yueqing heard this, and sneered: "You are now a guilty body, your life can be taken by the palace if you want, it is not worth a penny at all, why does the palace want to save a woman who does not abide by women's morals for you, a betrayal?"

Qi Zheng was speechless, yes, what qualifications did he have to ask Lou Yueqing to help him.

It's just that it's nothing that he died, but Qinglan ......

She couldn't die with him.

Gritting his teeth, he put his head on the ground and begged: "Please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to be kind and save Qinglan's life, and the last general will be grateful, if there is an afterlife, be a cow ......."

Lou Yueqing suddenly interrupted him with a sneer: "You haven't lived this life yet, what do you want in the next life?"

Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, suddenly raised his head, and looked at Lou Yueqing puzzled.

What does that mean?

Lou Yueqing didn't explain, but asked lightly, "You really didn't say much to Xiao Yurao?"

Qi Zheng bowed: "Yes!"

Lou Yueqing heard this, nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Qi Zheng coldly: "For the sake of you, you didn't say much that shouldn't be said, and the matter didn't cause any consequences that were difficult to end, this palace will spare your life, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, this palace hasn't figured out how to deal with you yet, you go down first, and guard the door here!"

Qi Zheng hurriedly asked: "That Qinglan ......?"

Lou Yueqing said lightly: "This palace wants to ask Wei Changxuan for a woman, but he doesn't have the courage to refuse!"

Hearing this, Qi Zheng put his mind at ease, and it was difficult to hide his joy, which meant that Qinglan would ...... in the future

Hurriedly bowed his head excitedly and thanked him: "The last general will thank Her Royal Highness the princess for his great kindness!"

Lou Yueqing waved her hand: "Stand down!"

Qi Zheng hurriedly retired, and the general, who was no longer young, was like a child who got candy to eat, and left stupidly......

Lou Yueqing looked at the back of Qi Zheng leaving briskly, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Suddenly, Rong Zhi's voice with a hint of a smile came from the side: "I thought you would kill him, but I didn't expect that worry-free would choose the beauty of adults!"

Lou Yueqing heard the sound and looked over, and when she saw Rong Zhi coming, she hurriedly hooked up a smile on her face.

"Why are you here?"

Rong Zhi walked over and sat down, picked up the half cup of tea in front of Lou Yueqing and poured it directly into his mouth, as soon as he entered it, he couldn't help frowning and disgusting: "It's cold, bitter ......"

When Lou Yueqing heard this, she glanced at him with disgust, and said angrily: "It's been a while, it must be cold, you really don't pay attention to it, if you want to drink tea, you can just order someone to prepare, and pick up the leftovers from me!"

Rong Zhi put down the cup elegantly, and broke it without blushing or beating his heart: "The one who has drunk it without worry is more delicious!"

Lou Yueqing rolled her eyes: "You just said bitter!"

Rong Zhi was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and then asked seriously: "Why don't you kill him?"

Although such a thing is not a crime to death, but when it comes to Xiao Tianhuang, Lou Yueqing can't tolerate everything, with her temperament, she will definitely kill Qi Zheng, but she doesn't spare him at this time, and she is still an adult, which is rare.

Lou Yueqing was silent for a while before she smiled bitterly and said softly: "Just think of it as accumulating virtue!"

Rong Zhi's face was stunned when he heard this.

But the heart instantly understood the meaning of Lou Yueqing's words.

She doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, let alone fate, but in the past, because of him, she would always pray to God, just to get him a chance to survive, and now for Xiao Tianhuang, she is willing to do less killing, just to accumulate a virtue, not for herself, just for Xiao Tianhuang.

Lou Yueqing then said: "What's more, Qi Zheng is a general, born from the grassroots without any background and reliance, he can climb to this position step by step, he is only thirty years old and sits in the position of deputy commander of the Yulin Army, his ability must be extraordinary, the end of this life can never be just the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, keep him, he may be useful in the future, a loyal general, more useful than ten useless civil officials, and Zhi'en Tubao does not need a general who accepts interests, I am more relieved!"

Her forgiveness and grace today are just a life saved by killing one less person and raising a hand, but for Qi Zheng, it is like a mountain.

After all, she is the princess of Liguo, and she is happy to do it if she has a capable person for Liguo.

When Rong Zhi heard this, he agreed with her statement: "That's true!"
