What the!?

Shen Lanying's eyes widened and she didn't say anything for a long time.

The little boss looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"There are some discrepancies in the numbers......"

It's not some, it's a lot.

At best, there were twenty carts of tribute from Qiuzi, but when they crossed the border, how could there be ninety carts?

Where did the seventy cartloads go?

Shen Lanying asked, "Have you checked the contents of the car?"

The little leader shook his head, "We're not in charge of this. The specific situation should be known to the people under Luo Haifeng's command. ”

A strange thought rose in Shen Lanying's heart, if these seventy trucks were full of people, how many could they hold?

For the tribute in transit, the border will generally only spot check a few boxes, after all, it is a gift to the emperor, and the soldiers have shown it, which is not suitable after all.

Therefore, it can be determined that the contents of the seventy carts are known only to the Qiuzi people themselves.

And the king of Qiuzi is also dormant in the capital......

The more Shen Lanying thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and when there was no movement in the capital, she rushed back with the man in black frantically.

The north is far away from Kyoto, and the terrain is complicated, so it took Shen Lanying more than a month to go back and forth.

Fortunately, there is no movement on Qiuzi's side, the king of Qiuci has disappeared, and the second prince is also extremely peaceful, I don't know what this group of people are waiting for.

As soon as she returned to the capital, Shen Lanying went to find Ah Li and Luoluo non-stop.

Luo Xingyan was wearing a soft Suzhou embroidered brocade skirt, with complicated hair ornaments, exquisite ornaments on her head and forehead, and swaying pearls.

When Shen Lanying came, Luo Xingyan was sitting on the piano, and her slender jade fingers were wandering between the seven strings. His eyes fell on the piano, but he was extremely inattentive, and he looked up at Ah Li from time to time, like a young girl with a spring in his arms.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lanying almost suspected that the Luo Xing in front of her was fake.

Shen Lanying told these two people about the anomalies she had found, and the two of them got out of the state of falling in love.

Luoluo's expression was still in a trance for a moment, as if she had forgotten that she was a general in the north, and there were tens of thousands of her own soldiers in the north.

"Ah Li, you go back to Yanpingguan. The look in Luo Xingyan's eyes regained her calm and composure as a general, but this state was incompatible with the dress on her body.

"But you ......" Ah Li knew that it was his duty to guard Yanpingguan, but Luo Xingyan would be born in a month.

Luo Xingyan smiled softly and looked at Ah Li affectionately, "Two months later, I will take our baby to Yanpingguan to find you." You're waiting for me there. ”

At this moment, in Shen Lanying's eyes, this pair of lovers radiated a dazzling light of true love, which simply blinded her dog eyes.

After that, Shen Lanying and Ah Li discussed the specific arrangements, and Luoluo made tea at the small table.

"How do I ask the Holy Lord?" asked Ah Li, with a frown.

"No, no, don't tell the emperor that you're going to the north. Shen Lanying said seriously, "We just need to know about this matter ourselves." All you have to do is tell the Holy One that you have tuberculosis and that you are going to be cured by a reclusive healer. ”

Luo Xingyan looked up at the two of them.

Ah Li was stunned, he was a loyal minister, and he was not very comfortable with lying to the emperor. "But as soon as I arrive at Yanpingguan, I will always be known. ”

"It doesn't matter, I can fool around on the emperor's side. ”

Ah Li nodded, "I understand." Then he stood up and ordered his men to fetch his armor and horses.

Luoluo came over with tea, sat beside Ah Li, and said with concern, "When you go to the north, you remember to wear a few more clothes." It's best to bring the thickest padded jacket with you. ”

Shen Lanying was puzzled in her heart, and always felt that these words didn't seem to come out of Luo Xingyan's mouth, and she was too young to be a little girl.

Ah Li also felt strange, "You don't have to wear so much, it's summer now." ”

"But the snow still hasn't melted in the north. Moreover...... Our Highness has given you an excuse for tuberculosis. It's not that you don't know that our Highness's crow's beak has always worked. As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Lanying with resentment.

Shen Lanying: "......"

Ah Li took a few cronies and rode to the north that night. Luo Xingyan took the Yaoqin picture scroll and spread out her sheepskin map.

Shen Lanying returned to Sikong's house, briefly learned about what had happened in the capital in the past month or so, and two days later, she went out over the wall at night to prepare to enter the palace.

But the process was extremely unsmooth, and she was caught by the man in black in mid-air.

The man in black who was the housekeeper didn't recognize Shen Lanying at first, so his method of arresting people was a little more violent, and when he recognized that the person who was dragged down by him was Shen Lanying, his face turned pale with fright, and he knelt directly on the ground to accuse.

Shen Lanying squatted on the ground and told the man in black straightforwardly, "I want to enter the palace." ”

The black-clothed man's voice repeating "villain damn" stopped abruptly, looked at Shen Lanying in shock, and said without hesitation, "The lord said that you can't let Madam leave Sikong's house, and the last place you can't go is the palace!"

Shen Lanying pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Then you pick a few brothers and enter the palace with me." This is already my biggest concession, if you still don't agree......" She showed a troublesome smile, "When Sikong Yan comes back, I will tell him that you are bullying me!"

The man in black fell silent.

He believed in the Lord's ability to discern right from wrong. If you want to talk about the wisdom of his family master, he will definitely not be fooled by such divisive words, but if these words come from the mouth of Mrs. Sikong......

The man in black took a deep breath, "The little one will go find someone, and ask the lady to follow me, otherwise the little one is really afraid that the lady will leave alone." ”

Well, that's a compromise, these men in black are really easy to talk to.

Shen Lanying yawned, "Don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow morning." You should rest early, too. After saying that, he swaggered back to sleep.

When they entered the palace the next day, they were two carriages moving together, accompanied by a total of five people in black, and then counting Shen Lanying and Xiaotong, a total of seven. The two carriages drove to the gate of the palace, and the guards guarding the door heard that it was Princess Zhaoying's car, so they didn't interrogate at all, and directly let the group in.

Shen Lanying lived directly in the palace, and Jiang Yuxuan and Rong Yue were missing from Lian'an Palace, which seemed empty.

Although the sudden move of returning to her parents' house is rather weird, considering that Sikong Yan has left the capital, Princess Zhaoying has no acquaintances in Sikong Yan's house, so it is reasonable to go back to the palace to take care of the Queen Mother.

In the next few days, Shen Lanying's main activity areas are Shoukang Palace and Qian'an Palace.

Recently, Hui Di's health has been getting worse and worse. In addition, a while ago, Concubine Leng gave birth to a child and was confined, and she couldn't sleep, and Emperor Hui couldn't bear the loneliness, so he summoned the orchid who paid tribute to Qiuzi a while ago. And after calling two at once, Emperor Hui forgot that his physical strength was not as good as back then, and when he was happy, he overindulged.
