"Young Master, are you in such a hurry to enter the palace? As soon as you recover from a major injury, you should rest more! Uncle Chen looked at Li Chu's pale face and said uneasily. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Chu raised his hand and coughed lightly, and exhaled: "I'm fine, so many days have passed, and I have to do what needs to be done." ”

"What's the matter?" Uncle Chen's eyelids jumped, and the old hand covered Li Chu's cold hand and said, "What are you going to do again?" I'm really worried about dying, and I don't know how many times this old bone can be scared by you? ”

Li Chu smiled faintly, covered his hand with his other hand, and quipped: "Uncle Chen's body is very tough, I heard that Zhu Zi bumped into Uncle Chen a few days ago, but Uncle Chen didn't do anything." ”

"It's okay, I've had a chest ache for days." Uncle Chen glanced at Li Chu with disgust and said angrily.

The carriage shook and suddenly stopped, and Li Chu pressed Uncle Chen, who wanted to get off the carriage, and said, "Uncle Chen, it's windy outside, just wait for me in the carriage." ”

"Prince Lichu." Li Xun saw Li Chu leaning out of the carriage and reached out unhurriedly to help him, "Are you better?" ”

After Li Chu stood still, he saluted him and said politely: "Thank you Leader Li for your concern, I'm fine." ”

"The emperor is in the Imperial Garden, I'll send you over." It was rare for Li Xun to be so earnest, and he didn't know that he thought he had the intention of currying favor with him, but in fact he was not, but he felt a little guilty in his heart.

"I'm tired of Leader Li."

The two walked for a while, and Li Xuncai said, "What happened a few days ago...... I really can't help it, at that time, the emperor and the four princes were talking in secret, and no one was seen after the order. ”

"Where, I still have to thank Leader Li, if you hadn't asked the emperor for medicine in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to recover my feet from the Ghost Gate." Li Chu smiled sideways, and said that he was about to salute again.

Li Xun hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "It's best for you to care about me, so why do you say thank you?" As long as you will say a few kind words for me in front of the emperor later, I will be grateful. ”

Li Chu felt that his words were inexplicable, and he was about to ask a question, when he saw Li Xun pointing to the water pavilion not far away and said, "The emperor is listening to a little song in the flowing water pavilion today, and I won't go." ”

When he said this, Li Chu really felt that the sound of the piano came from afar, and he heard it more clearly when he got closer, and there was a little eunuch beside Li Jingyao, and he saw him with sharp eyes and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Childe, please come here."

Li Chu saw that he was wearing the most ordinary eunuch uniform, and he must not be the chief eunuch, but every time he saw Li Jingyao, he was next to him, and he couldn't help but look at him twice in surprise.

"Sit down." Li Jingyao saw that he had the tendency to salute, and hurriedly pulled him to sit on the ground.

Although it is now winter, there is a thick layer of soft blankets on the ground, and there are several braziers next to the table, which is really warm, and even the cold wind blows through the brazier to Li Chu's face, like a spring breeze.

The elegant sound of the piano in the empty valley passes through the thick screen, which has a unique flavor, and after listening to it for a long time, it only makes people feel that it is a lot more comfortable inside and out, but indulging in the sound of the piano is easy to make people lose their fighting spirit.

"The emperor is really good Yaxing." Li Chu stretched out his hand to roast on the brazier, and said sincerely.

Hearing this, Li Jingyao glanced at the little eunuch beside him and said, "Sheng Zhe, let them all go down." ”

"Yes."

After seeing the little eunuch named Sheng Zhe hurriedly walking towards the screen, Li Chu whispered a few words that he couldn't hear clearly, and walked out of the water pavilion with the women.

"What's so remarkable about this grand setback that the emperor values him so much?"

Li Jingyao smiled when he heard this, glanced at Sheng Zhu with Li Chu's gaze, and said with a sense of concern: "Because he is obedient enough, he doesn't target anyone and doesn't make friends with anyone, even if his ability is poor, it's right to be a person who has been believed." ”

Li Chu didn't expect Li Jingyao's precautionary heart to be so heavy, so he was silent and didn't answer.

"I came to see you that day, and I heard that you were seriously injured, why don't you take good care of your injuries, it's cold, but I run here." Li Jingyao saw Sheng Zhe coming over with tea, waved his hand slightly, and motioned for him to send it to the opposite side.

Li Chu took the hot tea, took a big sip, and then said, "If it weren't for something important, I wouldn't want to suffer this sin." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? It seems that I really don't have a few days to spare. Li Jingyao smiled and grabbed the melon seeds on the table, snorting one by one.

This scene was seen by Li Chu, and he really couldn't cry or laugh, and his expression was distorted: "The emperor is really ...... Leisure...... I want to ask the emperor, do you really think those killers are from cannibal gangs? ”

"Of course not." Li Jingyao said as he spit out a few pieces of melon seed skin, and said disapprovingly, "What can it do?" The criminal department is incompetent, and no trace has been found. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there was such a big murder, if I don't do something to stop them, I'm afraid that people's panic will not end. ”

Li Chu glanced at the table full of melon seed skins, and asked in a low voice, "Then does the emperor have the heart to track down who did it?" ”

"Listen to your tone, do you know who did it?" Li Jingyao ate the last melon seed in his hand, looked up at the long water bridge behind Li Chu, and his eyes instantly became solemn.

Li Chu tilted his head slightly, and saw that it was Wu Weizhong rushing over with an anxious face, and it could be seen from his tired face that he must be very dutiful these days.

"Your Majesty! Something is wrong! ”

Before the person arrived, Wu Weizhong couldn't wait to shout out, and the cold wind in his robe made Li Chu tremble.

"What's wrong, this is?" Li Jingyao didn't have half of the look he had when he was casual at the moment, and hurriedly got up.

"A large number of victims in the East Village have died...... The minister has already notified the criminal department and Dali Temple to investigate, and the minister ......"

Wu Weizhong, who was born as a military general, was in a hurry, and he couldn't even speak clearly, and the others were uncomfortable for a while, and Li Chu hurriedly said: "General Wu, you say slowly, when did you find out that you died, how did you die, how did you die, and how many people died?" ”

"In the past two days, I thought that the disaster was almost under control, so I distributed the food for disaster relief to the victims one by one. Yesterday during the day, I was fine, but when I was about to come back this morning, I found that many victims died at home for no reason, foaming at the mouth as if they had been poisoned. ”

Li Jingyao narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively, "Poisoning?" Could it be that the grain I collected is still poisonous? ”

Wu Weizhong knew that the matter was very important, so he didn't dare to answer, and Li Chu on the side listened to it and hurriedly suggested: "I heard that this batch of grain levied by the emperor came from the Western Capital, and before the news spreads, find the source as soon as possible, so as not to poison the people of the Western Capital." ”

Li Jingyao hesitated a little when he heard this, and paced back and forth for two steps before saying: "Sheng Zhe, order the fourth prince, let him enter the palace immediately, and there must be no delay for a moment." ”

"Wei Zhong, you lead the troops to the west of the city, as long as it is a rice shop, I will be sealed, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave the rice shop until it is clear which rice shops are doing it."

Who is running the rice shop in the west of the city, I don't know if I don't ask, Li Chu looked at Li Jingyao's profound gaze, and said lightly: "It seems that the emperor is busy today, and I also have something to tell the emperor." ”
