*In the Diligent Palace*

"The son asks his father to say goodbye. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. Li You knelt in front of Emperor Yongding and saluted respectfully.

"Get up." Emperor Yongding looked up from the cumbersome recital and said, "Boss, is your trip going well?" ”

Li You secretly thought to himself, it is really worthy of being husband and wife, and the first words of the father and the queen mother are the same. Jun's face was full of confidence, and he said loudly: "This time the minister has gained a lot. The new emperor of Northern Xia couldn't help but say a few months ago that he gave Gu Heng a 'trumped-up' rebellious crime, Gu Heng died, and the Gu family's qi was exhausted. In this way, the biggest stumbling block to my Southern Qi's domination of the world has been removed. Moreover, this move also caused turmoil in the government and the opposition and the instability of the people's hearts, and it was not easy for the Northern Xia Emperor to sit on his throne! ”

Li You's best idea for going north this time is to ask Gu Heng to stand with Southern Qi and come to the outside to cooperate, and at worst, to let Gu Heng and the Northern Xia Emperor deviate from morality and turn against each other.

And the current situation in Northern Xia is what they like to see.

"Not bad, not bad." Emperor Yongding's face was full of affirmation for Li You.

Li You raised his head slightly and glanced at Emperor Yongding, knelt down again to plead guilty, and knocked on the ground with his head, "Ask my father for forgiveness." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Yongding raised his eyebrows, "Let's talk about it, what are your crimes." ”

"Erchen took the initiative to bring the county lord of Zhaoyang back......"

Emperor Yongding was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "Not only are you not guilty, but you are also meritorious!" Come, tell me about my father, how did you rescue Xiao Yuwei? ”

"In fact, as soon as Erchen arrived in Jinyang City, he heard that the Gu family had gone to prison, so he prepared to rescue the county lord of Zhaoyang. At this time, the old lady of the Gu family sent a secret letter to Erchen, asking Erchen to bring Zhaoyang back to Southern Qi. ”

Li You frowned, and continued: "In fact, what has always made Erchen depressed is why Old Madam Gu would let Erchen take Zhaoyang back to Southern Qi. ”

"The old lady of the Gu family is not simple!" Emperor Yongding thought a little deeply, and then asked, "Did Yu Wei know in advance?" ”

"She doesn't know." Li You recalled Li Yuwei's expression at that time, it didn't seem like she was pretending, and then she seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, my father, Zhaoyang is pregnant......

"It's getting more and more interesting." Emperor Yongding smiled intriguingly.

Li You didn't know the meaning of Emperor Yongding's words just now, and he didn't take it to heart, but just continued to reply honestly: "Father, according to the report from the spies, on the night that the son left Jinyang City with Zhaoyang, the Gu family died in the fire, and the huge Prime Minister's Mansion was burned to the ground."

"Arson or natural disaster?"

"It should be Mrs. Rongguo's intention. Her move was also so that the county lord of Zhaoyang could leave Northern Xia smoothly. Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence, the front foot Erchen took Zhao Yang and just left, and the back foot caught fire. ”

"Abandon the Gu family, just to protect Yu Wei and be thoughtful?"

"Father, you don't know, the Emperor of Northern Xia is really cold! The men of the Gu family were killed cleanly, and the rest were women and children. The child in Zhaoyang's cousin's womb is afraid that it is the hope of the entire Gu family......"

"In a few days, I will hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate Zhaoyang's return to his homeland." Emperor Yongding thought for a moment and then ordered.

"Zhaoyang was secretly brought back by his sons, so wouldn't the people of the country know about it?"

"I not only want my people of Daqi to know that the county lord of Zhaoyang, whom I value, has returned, but also the entire Northern Xia to know how their emperor is cold and how to treat meritorious heroes! actually forced my county lord of Daqi to have no place to live in Northern Xia! ”

Li You continued: "In this way, the emperor of Northern Xia will lose a lot of popular support!" As the saying goes, 'those who win the hearts of the people win the world'. ”

Emperor Yongding smiled heartily with Li You.

"Zhaoyang just came back, you still have to go to appease and appease, I remember that when I was a child, your relationship was very good!"

"No, the retainers are retired."

Emperor Yongding looked at Li You's distant figure, a trace of gloom crossed his eyes, the truth of the truth was not as simple as he said.

The slender fingers tapped lightly on the desk, and Li Yuwei's return made him feel that some things suddenly became clear, such as the treasures that disappeared back then...... Old Lady Gu took the whole clan to die in the fire, perhaps in the hope of covering up the treasure, and Li Yuwei's retreat could not be just because she was pregnant...... Maybe she's the breakthrough to the treasure.

Thinking of the treasure, Emperor Yongding's originally calm eyes finally had a bit of fanaticism.

And Li Yuwei's return also made Emperor Yongding feel that some things had become tricky, such as the death of the imperial sister......

He always felt that Li Yuwei knew something back then, and then married Beixia, even if the people who knew about the events of the year had been purged by Emperor Yongding over and over again.

******

After Li Yuwei arrived at the county lord's mansion, she first took a bath, changed into women's clothes, and then walked to the study. The letter that Li You handed back to him before leaving-the letter left by his mother-in-law for him, he hadn't had time to read it yet......

She sat down in front of the desk, her hands trembling, and opened the letter with a hint of fear and a few hints of excitement. But there was nothing on the letter, it was clean - except for a drop of blood in the middle.

This drop of blood is like a bewitching flower blooming in people's hearts.

Li Yuwei was slightly stunned and looked straight at the flower.

On the ground, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and the crystal tears swirled in her beautiful eyes.

Then it falls uncontrollably and smudges on the letterhead.

She knew what her mother-in-law's letter meant, and she wanted her to live well. Just for the blood of the Gu family who doesn't know men and women in the stomach.

After a long time, she picked up the paper again.

And the tears scattered on the letter slowly disappeared with the passage of time, but left traces of tears.

Suddenly, Li Yuwei's pupils dilated instantly, and she looked at the piece of paper incredulously.

The originally clean white paper, except for a drop of blood, appeared in the place where there were traces of tears!

She frowned slightly, could it be that this word was contaminated with water?

Just as she was thinking, she took the water beside her, and gently dipped her little finger into a drop on the letter.

Without any surprise, a word emerged.

She was overjoyed, and directly took a handkerchief to dye the water on the letter little by little. Soon, the entire letter appeared in front of her eyes.

――

"My daughter-in-law: Seeing this, I am afraid that I have been gone for a long time. Don't be sad, life and death are just a moment with me, and I hope that you will take care of yourself. The son of your womb is the tomorrow of my Gu family! In the past, the head of the family got thousands of treasures, and then scattered and hidden, which is the foundation of your life and the cornerstone of the recovery of the family. If you need it, take Hetian jade wrench fingers to Anhua Temple in Wuyang Mountain to find a Zen master. ”

Gu Heng did not draw a treasure map after getting the treasure back then.

At least not in the Gu Mansion.

This is also the reason why Emperor Tianzhu has been looking for so long and has not found it.

Li Yuwei read the letter with the waves in her heart, and then put the letter away and placed it in the dark compartment in the bookshelf.

It turns out that the Gu family still has treasures......

Can...... Wrench? Don't have any wrenches around you?
