Chapter 025: Return to Beijing

The candles are clustered, like the bright moon and clear light, scattering the shadows all over the window lattice. The night breeze at the end of April is sweet and warm, with the fragrance of the night.

Wen Lexi sat under the candle flame, and the light stretched his figure very long.

"If there's a reason, it's okay! It's just that he didn't match the preface and the afterword, and he couldn't say why for a while. In the end, the Empress Dowager asked him if he had fallen in love with Luo'er, and he immediately denied it, saying that there was no such thing.

I looked at him, not like he was shy, but I was very afraid that the Empress Dowager would marry Luo'er to him. Wen Lexi was angry.

He escorted the little servant of the King of Chu into the palace, and the Empress Dowager immediately summoned the King of Chu to Cining Palace and asked him to give Wen Lexi an explanation.

Unexpectedly, the king of Chu was full of nonsense, Wen Lexi spent an hour with him, and in the end, the empress dowager was about to be angry, but he still didn't tell the truth.

He and Lu Luo have no grievances, neither fancy her, nor do they want to harm her, they don't know the reason at all.

The king of Chu became a relative in his early years, and he was very affectionate with the princess. His princess was born thin and petite, with a fragile body. After the pregnancy was unbearable, the doctors tried every possible way to protect the fetus, but at the age of six months, a baby boy was lost.

Princess Chu slipped and bleed, and the imperial doctors tried their best, but they still couldn't save the princess. Within seven days, the princess also died, and the king of Chu was sad for a long time.

In the past two years, the Empress Dowager Zhang Luo wanted to renew the strings for him, or add a few side concubines, but he was not happy. He suddenly became interested in Lu Luo, and the Empress Dowager did not object, and was even a little happy.

Like ordinary mothers, the Empress Dowager only has one biological son left, King Chu, and she is always looking forward to him being able to spread out and add a big fat grandson to her old man.

Lu Qijun's daughter, it is still barely possible to be crowned a prince's side concubine, at least the daughter of an official eunuch.

However, the king of Chu doesn't want it!

The Empress Dowager couldn't guess what King Chu was doing.

"Luo'er, do you know why?" Wen Lexi turned to ask Lu Luo.

Lu Luo vaguely understood.

She told Wen Lexi about her incident in Zhaozhou two years ago. Two years ago, in Zhaozhou, Wen Lexi's hometown, Waixi Mountain on the outskirts of the city encountered a team of people, but they were trapped in the deep forest by the formation, and more than a dozen people died.

Lu Luo couldn't bear it, and saved the team, and the general was very grateful to her, and gave her the dagger, promising to go to her.

"I'm kind of showing my hand. The king of Chu knew the time, the place, the dagger, and he was in that army at that time. He knew I was a very powerful warlock, so he called me Xuannu. He also knew that the general had given me a dagger and promised to find me.

Either he wanted to recruit me to his wing, to avoid me from meeting with the general, and did not want me to become the general's adviser; Or, he just wanted to get along with the general and help him keep me, so the Empress Dowager mentioned marriage, and he strongly refused. Lu Luo analyzed it to Wen Lexi and Wen Shi.

Lu Luo told Wen about this.

Wen didn't take it seriously.

Wen Lexi heard it for the first time, and couldn't help but look at Lu Luo in surprise: "Nearly three hundred people have been trapped for seven days, and you can solve the formation?" ”

"yes." Lu Luo Road.

Wen Lexi was pleasantly surprised: "Luo'er, you have opened your eyes to the sky, you are going to become a living immortal." ”

Last time, Fang Shangshu's Mansion was haunted, and Lu Luo went to clean it up, but now that Shangshufu is at peace, this matter is done very beautifully and neatly!

Fang Shangshu was grateful.

Now it seems that Lu Luo's skills are far more than these. Wen Lexi was surprised that there was such a powerful character in the family. If Lu Luo is a man, he can be a national teacher.

"I didn't open my eyes." Lu Luo smiled, "I'm just good at deduction." ”

She brought the topic back to King Chu.

Does the King of Chu want Lu Luo to avoid that general, or is that general not in the capital at the moment, and he wants Lu Luo to stay in the capital and wait for that general?

The purpose can only be one of the two.

Lu Luo thought about it carefully, the king of Chu didn't let her go out of the city, and he was very afraid of the empress dowager's marriage, Lu Luo suddenly changed his opinion of him, she thought it should be the latter, and the king of Chu wanted to keep Lu Luo?

"So, what does he want my dagger for?" Lu Luo is a little.

She still didn't understand this.

"Uncle, I want to meet the King of Chu." Lu Luo suddenly said to Wen Le.

***

The Fang family of the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion has finally been calm these days.

After the actions of Qianyan Immortal and his little apprentice, the home seemed to be much brighter and warmer, and the cold aura wrapped in the sky above their home disappeared overnight.

Fang Shangshu and the old lady all understood that this was the Yin Spirit being dispelled.

In order to completely disappear the yin spirit and add some joy to the family, the old lady decided to feast on the day of the Duanyang Festival and invite people to sing for three days and three nights.

As for Xiu'er's parents and brother, Fang Shangshu sent someone to find them afterwards.

It's just that after more than three months, that family has a ghost in their hearts, and they no longer know where to flee! The sea of people is vast, and if they deliberately avoid it, it will be difficult to find it in this life.

Fang Shangshu still sent someone to find it, after all, it was an enemy, and it almost ruined their family, and it would always be a bane if they didn't get rid of it.

"Please ask Mrs. Lu and the five girls of the Lu family to use a red gilded post to show respect!" The old lady specially called the steward to her courtyard and admonished.

Qianyan's identity was not deliberately hidden. Fang Shangshu had deep influence in the capital, and he sent someone to check carefully, and he knew that the little apprentice beside Qian Yan was Wen Lexi's granddaughter and Lu Qijun's daughter.

The fifth mother of the Lu family is so profound, not to mention that she is the granddaughter of a eunuch, even if she is a butcher, the Fang family has to respect her very much.

This powerful warlock can kill people invisibly.

Besides, Lu Luo's father was still an official from Jinshi. Although he took refuge in the eunuch, his reputation was stinky, and he couldn't get promoted, but in the end he came from a scholarly family.

"Also, when you send the invitation, give this pair of gold bracelets to the five girls of the Lu family." Old Madam Fang said again.

She deliberately stammered with Lu.

A warlock like Lu Luo can change his life against the sky, and he can even affect the fortunes of the country, how can he do it if he doesn't talk to her?

The Fang family especially believed in these warlocks, otherwise their mansion would not have specially arranged the feng shui array, and Old Madam Fang especially believed it.

As for why I believe it, that's a long story.

Old Madam Fang was instructing the steward when she heard the voice of the second son of the Fang family from a distance: "Grandmother, grandmother!" Come and see who's back! ”

Old Madam Fang didn't know why, so she asked the maid to support her and prepare to go out to have a look.

Before he reached the door, the curtain was raised, and a tall man came in.

He wore dark armor, a long sword at his waist, and cowhide boots, and the sound of landing was crisp and loud. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and saluted the old lady: "Grandmother, I'm back!" ”

The boy had been on the road all night, and his beard was unshaven, almost covering half of his face, but he still had a pair of clear and bright eyes.

No matter what he looked like, Old Madam Fang knew him. Old Madam Fang's eyes immediately became wet: "Xun'er, good boy, are you back?" ”

This is the grandson of Old Madam Fang, the third young master of the Yan family of the Yongxi Marquis Mansion, Yan Xun. After his father's death, he always took his father's position, garrisoned in the northwest, and returned to Beijing every two years.

In recent years, the west has been peaceful, and the Tatars have also established a unified small court, voluntarily submitting and paying annual tribute.

Seeing that there had been no war in the northwest for several years, the courtiers advocated the withdrawal of troops from the northwest. In particular, Yan Xun, the general who is powerful in the northwest and has high achievements, is a fierce tiger, which makes the courtiers very worried about him.

Yan Xun has been left out for a long time, and the owner is young, and the courtiers are afraid that he will have different intentions, so they want to recruit him back to Beijing.

The decree of the imperial court was sent to the northwest not long ago. The old lady of the Fang family knew that Yan Xun was about to return to Beijing, and she was looking forward to it all day and night!

The old lady didn't care about politics, she only hoped that her grandson would return to Beijing as soon as possible, leave that deserted place, and come back to marry a wife and have children.

Yan Xun's mother is the only daughter of Mrs. Fang, but unfortunately she has also passed away for ten years.

The old lady especially loves the Yan Xun brothers.
