Chapter 4 Return to Qi

The men turned and walked into the night, as if they had never been there.

In less than a quarter of an hour after they left, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with fire, illuminating most of the night sky, as bright as day.

The fire was out of control, and seeing that the entire Jinyang Street was spreading, the sleeping people finally woke up and ran and shouted: "Go to the water!" Walk the water! ”

Most of the people living on Jinyang Street are Beijing officials, and they are mainly officials above the fourth grade, and the servants in each mansion add up to not one thousand but nine hundred, but they are still helpless against the raging fire, and can only protect their master's family from being implicated in the fire.

This thrilling fire burned for a day and a night before gradually extinguishing, and the Prime Minister's Mansion had already become a rubble field.

"Back to Your Majesty, dozens of corpses were brought out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and from the location where these corpses were found, it can be vaguely judged that there is a ...... of Mrs. Rongguo"

Mrs. Rongguo is the title of Mrs. Gu, and when she came out of the prison, the emperor restored her title as well.

Later, when Jing Zhaoyin said something more, Emperor Tianzhu couldn't hear it anymore, he only knew that Mrs. Rongguo was dead! She hasn't said where the treasure is......

"Your Majesty?" Jing Zhaoyin raised his head slightly, peeking at the back of the Heavenly Emperor who was out of his mind and called.

"Say." The Heavenly Emperor who came back to his senses squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

"Your Majesty, what to do with those corpses?"

"Ask me all about this little thing? What do I want you for?! ”

Jing Zhaoyin was frightened by the angry Emperor Tianzhu, and hurriedly agreed.

Just as he was about to step out of Weiyang Palace, Emperor Tianzhu stopped him again, "Is this an accident or is someone deliberately setting it on fire?" ”

Jing Zhaoyin quickly walked back to the hall and began to explain his opinion to the Heavenly Emperor, "Back to Your Majesty, between the ministers, this fire should be an accident......

Emperor Tianzhu was stunned for a long time, and then thought about the accident, what is the importance of artificiality? So he commanded, "Good life is buried." It can also be regarded as a relief for the spirit of the old prime minister in the sky. ”

"No."

******

When Li Yuwei woke up, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar environment, and she just wanted to speak out loud, but her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't do it, and she lost consciousness again before she struggled a few times.

When she woke up again, she was greeted by a graceful and noble man in fine clothes, dressed in a black dress embroidered with a golden silk dragon, looking at her nervously.

She called softly, "Cousin ......"

Li You's frowning sword eyebrows stretched out because of this "Cousin You", he responded with a chuckle, and asked with concern, "What do you think?" ”

"Where is this? How did I get here? ”

"This is the post house of Jiujiang Mansion, you were brought here by me from Gu Xiang's Mansion." Li You replied one by one.

"What about my mother-in-law?"

Thinking of Mrs. Rongguo, Li You's eyes flickered a little, and he was nervous, and he replied naturally, "...... Yu, Yuwei, you...... I ......"

He really didn't know why as soon as he saw Li Yuwei's dark eyes, all the words he had prepared before were completely forgotten by him.

"Cousin You, you haven't changed this for so many years." Li Yuwei said that she was about to get up from the bed, "You don't say that I also know it." This post house should still be in the territory of Northern Xia, and I will walk back to Jinyang City by myself! ”

"Yuwei!" Li You held down Li Yuwei in time, and seeing that she didn't take her body seriously, she was very angry for a while, "Your body is not well yet!" You can't joke with your body! ”

Immediately, seeing that Li Yuwei didn't mean to be obedient at all, she explained helplessly: "Not long after I arrived in Jinyang, I heard about the Gu Mansion being imprisoned, and when I was worried about how to save you, the Gu family was released again, and then I received a secret letter from the old lady of the Gu family. ”

Li Yuwei remembered that after coming out of the prison, the old lady almost never stopped, and rarely saw her, as if she was secretly meeting some people in the secret room behind the rockery, but the specific old lady never told herself.

After a pause, Li You continued: "The content of the secret book is for me to take you back to Nanqi, and then find a dead body about the same size as you and send it to Gu Xiangfu. Then...... Then you'll be sent to the inn. I don't know what's going on, and I don't even know what Old Madam Gu is going to do......"

Li Yuwei's body flickered, a dead corpse about the same size as herself?! Before she knew it, her tears flowed uncontrollably......

Li You panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly called: "Yuwei, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing......" she just roughly guessed what her mother-in-law was going to do......

Then he grabbed Li You's sleeve tightly and begged, "Cousin You, can you go and check if anything has happened to the Gu Mansion recently......

"Although this place has not yet left the border of Northern Xia, it is also a certain distance from Jinyang City, and the biggest purpose of my trip is to take you back to Southern Qi, the Northern Xia Emperor just knows that I am here to Jinyang to play, if he notices something, it will be difficult for us to return to Southern Qi smoothly......"

Southern Qi and Northern Xia have always been good friends, and the two countries have communicated with each other, and they have gotten along very well over the years. Could it be ......

A hint of incredulity flashed in Li Yuwei's eyes, and she said in surprise: "The war is about to start." ”

This is an affirmative sentence.

Li You nodded and happily gave Li Yuwei an answer.

"This time, I didn't bring many people, and it would be impossible for them to investigate the matter of Gu Xiangfu, which is thousands of miles away. Not to mention the long distance, it will be delayed for a few days, and it is still unknown what variables will arise in these days. ”

Li You knew in his heart that if the current situation was made clear, Li Yuwei would definitely not want to know about the Gu Mansion anymore. "What's more, you are pregnant now, and the doctor's medical skills here are far inferior to Jianye's, so it would be better for us to return to Jianye as soon as possible."

These reasons are as big as the general interests of the country and as small as Li Yuwei personally, she really can't find a reason to refute them, but she still ......

Li You took in the hesitation on Li Yuwei's face, and said so, did she still insist on sending someone to inquire about the news of the Gu Mansion?

“…… Isn't that good? Let's set off back to Jianye first, and then I will leave one or two people to go to Jinyang to inquire, and if there is anything, fly the pigeon directly to pass the book to me. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Yuwei's face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, giving him a bright smile.

Li You also looked at Li Yuwei fixedly, and his eyes were full of doting that he had never noticed. Sure enough, I still like her smile, and the most unsightly thing is her frowning.

At that moment, Li You ordered someone to start packing his luggage, and ordered the two of them to leave for Jinyang immediately to inquire about the news of Gu's mansion.

The next day, the group continued to travel south and marched towards Jianye.

Because there was no delay on the way, in addition to the necessary rest and rectification, almost non-stop running, within a month, Jianye City was already in sight.

On this day, a group of people stopped to rest more than 30 miles outside Jianye City, preparing to rush home the next morning.

Li You came to Li Yuwei's tent with food and water, and after putting down the things, he said a little uncomfortably: "Yuwei, you can change into men's clothes tomorrow and tomorrow when you go on the road......

Li Yuwei didn't know why for a while, her beautiful eyes were full of doubts, and Li You hurriedly explained when she saw this: "I was originally ordered to play... In recent years, the Northern Xia have deceived me too much, and the battle between the Southern Qi and the Northern Xia is inevitable. Worried that the Northern Xia Emperor would be embarrassed by you, he wanted to take you home. But, but his father didn't know about it, in case he ......"

Li Yuwei looked at his incoherent appearance, feeling funny and moved, but she didn't expect him to plan for himself like this. Then, without any hesitation, he responded, "It's okay, I'll put on men's clothes tomorrow, and I promise not to embarrass you, cousin." ”

"Good!" Li You showed his neat white teeth, "You can rest well after dinner, tomorrow since you will change into men's clothes, you will ride a horse." ”

As if remembering something again, Li You immediately added. "But don't worry, I'll pick the most docile horse."

planned for her so carefully, which made Li Yuwei a little embarrassed, and said jokingly: "My cousin is so careful, my cousin-in-law must be very happy." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li You's expression froze, and he said, "I haven't married yet." And he hurried away.

Li Yuwei was stunned, and roughly calculated in her heart that Li You's age is not young, why hasn't he married yet? How did my uncle give it? Although Li You is the eldest son, the queen has never had a child, and Li You has grown up beside the queen since he was a child, and he is half a son-in-law!

With this alone, he won a cut above the other concubines and became the best candidate for the next monarch of Southern Qi. However......

Li Yuwei understands that in the years since she left Nanqi, the Jianye Qi Palace has long been a matter of fact.

As she was about to return to Jianye again, she needed to know something.

Her gaze turned to Qiaohe, a servant girl standing quietly beside her. Qiaohe was sent to him by Li You......

"Qiaohe."

Hearing Li Yuwei's call, Qiaohe, who was watching her nose and nose, finally reacted, "No, Miss Cousin." ”

Because of Li Yuwei's special identity, Li You asked the people around her to always call her Miss Cousin, they are cousins and sisters, and this "Miss Cousin" is not too much.

"Qiaohe", Li Yuwei sat on the recliner spread on the ground and continued: "You know, I have lived in Northern Xia for a long time, and Southern Qi is my homeland for me. Coming back to my homeland, I want to know the specific situation of Nanqi. ”

Qiaohe's face was embarrassed, and he explained: "Miss Biao, the slave maid is from Northern Xia, and she was bought by the master to take care of you, and Nanqi has only heard of it, and has never been to ......."

"You've never said that." Li Yuwei was a little surprised, and her expression was a little fierce. Didn't Qiaohe Li You's side and watch her?

Qiaohe fell to his knees and confessed: "Miss Cousin spare her life!" The master told him to talk less and do more things, and the slave thought that the master had told you......"

As if he was afraid of something, the big eyes of the copper bell soon overflowed with tears, and his body trembled.

The murderous warning sounded in her ears again, and the angry face came to her mind again.

Li Yuwei thought about it, she really didn't ask her anything these days when Qiaohe took care of her, and if it weren't for Li You, she usually didn't speak all day long. I guess it scared this child, after all, she was only a cardamom year.

"It's okay, since you don't know it, forget it, what's the crime?" Since I can't ask anything, I can only take one step at a time after going to Jianye City. Li Yuwei smiled at the corner of her mouth and ordered: "Go get some water, I'm going to wash and rest." ”

Qiaohe leaned over, turned around and went out, and soon brought in the water, and then waited for Li Yuwei to wash.

A good night's sleep.
