Xue Qing slept very unsteadily, and in the second half of the night, after Zhang Quandan came over and whispered to report that Dao Tianfeng had been tortured to death, he was even less sleepy.

Put on a big hat, sit on the mat, and listen to Zhang Quandan's eloquent words: "............ He felt that Tian Feng didn't know much, and he should have been confused by the Wang family and inadvertently revealed some news. ”

Xue Qing frowned and asked, "Why was you tortured to death, are you staring at it yourself, could it be that someone did it?" ”

Zhang Quandan shook his head: "No, the whole process of lowly duties is in my eyes, interrogation is often happening, often to take his name as a threat, sometimes the hands are heavier, the person is gone, the scale is not easy to grasp, I saved it, the ginseng soup could not be hung back, so I had to give up." ”

"What about the Wang family?"

Zhang Quandan sighed and said: "I didn't open my mouth, I tried my best, but as soon as Tian Feng died, the Wang family became the only clue, and he immediately ordered him to suspend his punishment, mainly to intimidate, but with little effect." ”

Xue Qing waved her hand: "This palace asks you, if this palace asks you to send someone to find out the news somewhere, in order to prevent exposure from being involved in this palace, will you not tell who the detective is for to hear the news, and you don't even know your identity." ”

Zhang Quandan nodded: "This is the safest way, even if it is exposed, there will be no danger, it is nothing more than a person who collects money to do things." But the Wang family deliberately befriended Tian Feng, not like this kind of character. ”

Xue Qing said: "Let's talk about it if it doesn't look like it, it depends on Tianbao's side, is there any news?" ”

Zhang Quandan shook his head: "There is no news yet." ”

Xue Qing groaned: "If the pigeon flies to Weiyang Palace, there is a palace ban at night, and no one is allowed to enter or exit, and the fish must be hooked, I am afraid that I will go in the morning." ”

Zhang Quandan said: "Then send a few more people over, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep an eye on it for a long time, Your Highness rest in peace, if there is an emergency, come to report immediately." ”

Of course, the spring night is still relatively cool, Ruhua wrapped herself in a cotton robe, brought a lamp over, and put it on the small table in front of Xue Qing. Seeing that Xue Qing was not sleepy, he simply lit a furnace of incense, and the faint blue flame of ambergris loomed in the bronze incense burner, and several monsters with stretched images were coiled on the incense burner, majestic and quiet, and Xue Qing did not recognize it.

The delicate fragrance wafted out, and Xue Qing stared at the faint smoke lingering around the flickering candle flame. In the dim candlelight, Xue Qing pondered, if in this Han Dynasty, it is relatively simple to be a nobleman who eats and waits for death, and carefully avoids those political movements. If you don't do something, it will be simple.

But if you have to do a thing, it will be very troublesome, and it will be difficult at the beginning of the business. I just made up my mind, and before I could do anything, I was stunned by someone's head-on stick. Absolutely nothing in this world is very simple. Maybe when I was a child, in a small circle like the class collective, there were a few cheap Bichi, and when I went to work, there were a few scheming, which was not a big headache.

But now, the future is like the dark night outside the window, pitch black, occasionally with two bright lights, and it is extremely bleak, there is no God's perspective, there is no golden finger, and even history lessons have not been studied well.

Xue Qing was a little annoyed, and her heart was panicked. I was stunned for a few hours, staring straight at the candlelight, thinking about many things in my head.

Like a flower, I added lamp oil twice. Sit and doze off. Xue Qing didn't notice it.

There was a faint voice in his ears: "Ah Xue, Xue, I'm up so early, get ready, let's go." ”

Xue Qing looked up and saw that the dusty Huo Qu was back from illness. I took off my cloak, and there were dots of mud on the hem, which was a little wet with morning dew.

It turned out that it was all dawn. Xue Qing yawned, pulled over the flowers who were awakened by Huo Quai, who was slackening her sleepy eyes, and whispered a few words. Ruhua nodded, and ran out.

When I found Zhang Quandan, my eyes were almost red, and I was yawning at the door of the class room. Ruhua stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "It's been so long, Your Highness asked if there is any news?" ”

Zhang Quandan shook his head: "No, there is no news." ”

Ruhua said: "It's bad, Lord Duwei came back, saying that he was going to pack up and go to Lishan immediately, what should I do." ”

Zhang Quandan said: "Don't panic, you report to Your Highness first, and I'll go and see it myself." ”

Huo Quzhi was an acute child, and when he said that he wanted to leave, he urged his subordinates to start packing his things, but he was too slow, and complained that he had already explained that he was going to Lishan, why didn't he pack his luggage early. Xue Qing listened to what Ruhua said in her ear, and lazily delayed: "What's the hurry, do you want to go to play, or to fight." Anyway, did you tell the emperor this time, don't make any jokes when the time comes. ”

Huo Quzhi scratched his head: "How can I be, I went to the court yesterday, handed the emperor a recital, and also greeted my uncle, worrying blindly." ”

Xue Qing rolled her eyes: "Traveling in the mountains and rivers, how can you be in a hurry to fight with the charge, don't panic, wait for the concubine to take a bath......"

Huo Quzhi was dumbfounded: "What the hell, I rushed back in a hurry, you still have to take a shower before leaving, I didn't find that your procrastination is so serious, uh, what is procrastination......

Move the bath bucket in, you have to have a few strong laborers hey yo busy for a long time, hot water this thing, is there a solar water heater, the dining room has to be burned with firewood, such a big bath bucket, but also have to honestly boil a few pots of water, blended to the right temperature, just some early flowering flowers have bloomed, just send someone to the backyard garden to pick, a bucket of dreamy fragrant soup, this is ready.

Huo Qu's illness is about to go crazy.

Ruhua helped Xue Qing to the inside, untied Xue Qing's clothes, and snickered in a low voice: "Lord Du Wei is dying, it's really funny......"

Xue Qing didn't understand where the official position of Du Lieutenant came from, but as a traverser, Xue Qing didn't know too much, and most of the time in order to avoid showing timidity, she learned something and basically didn't ask questions. For example, when she saw those noblewomen and female officials, they all called themselves concubines, and they also called themselves like this, especially the last time she saw Princess Pingyang calling Wei Qing a prince on a formal occasion and calling herself a concubine, she was secretly happy in her heart, fortunately, she knew it in advance, otherwise it would be a game to call Cheng Xianggong when the time comes.

But Ruhua is okay, it is considered an intimate Douban, so she asked casually: "Why does Ruhua keep calling him a captain." Ruhua replied: "Your Royal Highness is a princess, and the princess's husband is the registered captain of the horse." ”

It turns out that this is the case, and I vaguely remember that the horse was originally an official position, and it turned out to be the captain of the horse. What's the use of this thing?
