Zhou Rong, the secretary of Dali Temple, hurriedly entered the palace after receiving the order, and he couldn't help but feel worried because he didn't know what the emperor was looking for. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After Zhou Rong saluted, Emperor Li Pei handed the pictographic pattern agate bead to Zhou Rong and said, "I hope you will help me investigate a matter across borders." ”

Cross-border investigations?

Zhou Rong was shocked, but then said, "Please give your Majesty's orders." ”

Since the emperor has an order, he does not dare to disobey as an official of the imperial court, but it is not an easy task to conduct a cross-border investigation, and he may die in a foreign country at any time.

Li Pei then told him about the ins and outs of this agate bead.

After hearing this, Zhou Rong understood everything, and asked in a low voice: "What does Your Majesty mean - to send Weichen to infiltrate the palace of Shu Kingdom to secretly investigate the life history of the second prince of Shu Kingdom?"

When he said this, Zhou Rong's voice trembled slightly.

He had been to Akenoshi twice, both during his studies, and both of them came and went in a hurry, so he only stopped at the gate of the Akebono Palace for a moment, and knew nothing about the situation in the palace. If you want to investigate the life history of the second prince of Shu Kingdom, the best way is to sneak into the palace of Shu Kingdom, but in this way, Zhou Rong's personal safety is basically not guaranteed.

Li Pei looked at him appreciatively and said, "That's right, that's what it means, do you have any clever plans?"

Regarding the investigation of the prescription for the death of the first emperor, the emperor felt that it was enough for Guo Yifan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Gu Banniang, the great leader of the 'Sun Moon Meteor Knife' sect, to investigate secretly, so he decided to draw Zhou Rong, who assisted Guo Yifan in investigating the prescription, to investigate the life history of the second prince of Shuguo.

Zhou Rong replied in a low voice after careful consideration: "The best way is to pretend to be a eunuch and sneak in." ”

If you want to get an errand in the palace, you must either be a palace maid or a father-in-law, Zhou Rong is a dignified seven-foot old man, and it is obviously impossible to pretend to be a palace maid, so you can only pretend to be a father-in-law.

Of course, if you want to sneak into the palace as a father-in-law, you also have to look at the timing, for example, you have to wait until the palace needs to recruit a father-in-law, and does the palace of the Dawn Kingdom need to increase the father-in-law recently? This really depends on luck, of course, a smart person can take the initiative to create opportunities.

Li Pei nodded when he heard this, and said, "Well, then I will give you a year to focus on investigating this matter, and during this period, you can say whatever resources you need me to provide you." ”

Zhou Rong thought for a while and said, "Wechen only needs an assistant who can help Wechen safely relay the information to you." ”

"Yes," said the Emperor, "do you have the right person in mind?"

"There is one, Governor Liu of Gao Cangcheng. Zhou Rong replied.

Gao Cangcheng was at the junction of Zhao and Shu, and Governor Liu's office was located at that junction.

Hearing him say this, Li Pei already knew in his heart, and said: "I am very satisfied with the person Zhou Aiqing chose, I will order him to go to Beijing tomorrow, and then you will meet to discuss the specific cooperation method, and then write a plan for me,"

"The minister obeys!" Zhou Rong said busily.

After Zhou Rong said goodbye, Li Pei sat back at his desk and began to draw.

He painted the head of a teenager.

The young man in the painting is thirteen or fourteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a dignified demeanor, as if he is smiling faintly at him.

When he finished the last stroke, Li Pei felt as if his heart was pressed by something, and he couldn't breathe for a long time, so he hurriedly put the pen down.

His third brother, the person who made the Queen Mother blame herself for more than ten years, is really still in the world?

Thinking of the various conspiracies and calculations that might be involved, he hated it so much.

Xiao Hong, don't let me know that you planned the whole thing, otherwise I will never spare you, Li Pei said secretly in his heart, and his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists.

The letter written by the emperor to the governor of Gao Cangcheng Liu was urgently sent to Gao Cangcheng early the next morning.

That night, Zhou Rong, the secretary of Dali Temple, had a great deal of effort to convince his father, mother and wife to get them to agree to his mission to Shuguo.

Zhou's wife thought that he would have to come back a year later, and secretly cried a few times at night, but she also knew that he had no choice, so she never complained.

On the same night, the Empress Dowager in Ciqing Palace couldn't sleep for a long time, and she thought of her child who had an accident when she was only eight months old.

Is the second prince of the Dawn Kingdom really him? If so, it really fulfills the sentence she once heard in her dreams—you may have to be separated from him several times.

If he really is still alive, he will be fourteen years old this year, and he will be a teenager.

She heard that the second prince of Shuguo is talented, personable and majestic, such a person should be such a person who makes her parents feel gratified. She couldn't wait to see him. But as Li Pei said, it is not appropriate to invite the monarch, empress, crown prince and second prince of Shu to make a friendly visit immediately, so she has to wait patiently, and Li Pei will send an invitation to the king of Shu early next year.

In fact, even if Li Pei issued an invitation at that time, the monarch of Shuguo might not be willing to come. If the monarch of Shu Kingdom has a ghost in his heart, he will not come, so she is not sure whether she will be able to meet the second prince of Shu Kingdom as she wishes early next year.

But even if there is a hope, she has to give it a try, otherwise she will never be willing.

The Queen Mother fell asleep in a rather nervous mood. In the dream, a young man dressed in white stood on a high cliff, standing quietly with his back to her, she couldn't see his face clearly, she couldn't see his joys and sorrows, but the mere back was already comforting to her.

"Yun'er, is that you? Are you really alive?" she asked him.

As if in her heart, the boy turned slowly towards her, but just as she was about to see his face, the cliff began to shake violently, was there going to be a great earthquake?

It was in the midst of this intense grief and panic that she woke up, only to find that it was still dark all around.

It turned out to be a dream!

Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and the feeling of being soaked in sweat reminded her of the scene when she was in Daqing Mountain, and she could no longer control the tears of sadness surging out.

"My Yun'er!" she clenched her hands and clenched the corners of the quilt in her heart, silently crying like rain.

Nan Jia, who heard the faint cry, immediately came in to take a look, only to find that the queen mother's clothes were also all wet, and hurriedly helped her into the bathing room to take a bath.

When the warm water overflowed the queen mother's body, she felt an indescribable sense of emptiness all over her body, and she suddenly missed Li Huailai.

At such a moment, she felt that she needed him so much that she immediately put on her clothes and wrote to him.

She was going to go to Kiongbo Island for ten days off, and if he could find time to go there, it would be a wonderful tryst between the two.

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't suppress her excitement.

The letter would reach him in four days, and in another four or five days she would receive a reply, which she eagerly awaited.
