Same night, the Imperial Study. [This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

"Things were robbed last month, but you're only telling me now?" The autumn night strings were full of joy and anger, and asked Lan Jiufang, the Marquis of Qingfeng and the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

On the twentieth of last month, when the Lan family sent the secret income of the Central Plains back to Tianzhou, they were robbed by unknown people on the way.

It's been so long, and Lan Jiufang took advantage of the time he entered the palace today to tell him about this matter.

Lan Jiufang knelt on the ground, trembling: "The minister doesn't dare to hide it." The minister wanted to find the thief and get back the silver and then ask the emperor for guilt, but the minister was incompetent and did not find anything for a month. The minister knows that he is guilty of a big crime, and he is willing to supplement the treasury of the Lan family, and ask the emperor for permission. ”

That said, but it took him a lot of trouble to get the extra money from his family.

350,000 silver is not a large amount for the Lan family, but the Lan family can become the richest man in the world, and has its own set of strict practices in financial management and account management.

Because he finally got the money from his family, he dared to let the emperor know the news.

Qiu Yexian still didn't show any feelings: "Can't find any clues?" ”

Lan Jiufang kowtowed: "The minister is incompetent." The other party seems to be a Jiangyang thief, about forty or fifty people, all of whom are strong in martial arts, and they seem to be extremely experienced. They first stunned the escort team with sweat pills, and then robbed all the silver goods, leaving no trace. The ministers sent people around to inquire about the news, and even secretly offered a large reward, but there were no clues. ”

After listening quietly, Yexian said coldly: "Not many people know about this, right, how did the news get out?" ”

It's just more than 300,000 taels of silver, and the most important thing is not who robbed the things, but who leaked the news.

The other party can easily and leave no trace to rob such a large sum of cash, and must have extremely detailed information.

And the secret business of the Central Plains, he only handed over to Lan Jiufang to be responsible, if the news leaked, it could only be Lan Jiufang's people who had a problem.

Lan Jiufang was most afraid of this problem.

The emperor probably won't put this money in his eyes yet, but the emperor hates traitors the most.

He didn't dare to wipe it: "The ministers, the ministers are in the self-examination, and there are no clues yet." This matter is the fault of the minister, and the minister is willing to accept a punishment. ”

Originally, he still wanted to take the money to compensate and turn the big thing into a small one, but the emperor probably didn't think so, so he still obediently took the initiative to ask for punishment.

Otherwise, if the emperor is angry with the pregnant Concubine Lan because of this, the loss will be too great.

Autumn Night String doesn't speak.

Lan Jiufang didn't dare to come out, waiting for the emperor's decision in panic.

After a long time, Qiu Yexian spoke: "If there is an accident, I will not pursue it, but I will not take it as an example." Also, you must not give up the pursuit and find out who leaked the information. ”

If the Lan family has an internal ghost, he will never tolerate it.

Lan Jiufang didn't feel relieved, but she was still a little happy: "Thank you to the emperor for your grace." The minister promised that this would not happen again. ”

The old lady manages the accounts very strictly, and will never allow the children of the Lan family to squander indiscriminately, he is nominally the head of the family, but there is not much family wealth that can be used.

This time, he begged Lan Guifei for a long time, and Lan Guifei agreed to ask the Lan family for this money to help him in her name.

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't want this money, so this money could be put into his pocket.

He was also knighted and an official, and he didn't have enough money in his hand to withdraw it, which was always inconvenient.

Qiu Yexian waved his hand: "Go down." ”

He could still see what Lan Jiufang was thinking, but Lan Jiufang was loyal and hardworking to him, so he was gracious and let Lan Jiufang be grateful to him one more time.

Sure enough, Lan Jiufang retreated with great gratitude.

After sitting for a while, he summoned Heyuan: "Pass on my message, tomorrow let the concubine be subdued, accompany the concubine Yin out of the palace to visit the king of hunting, and pray for the king of hunting on the spot." ”

Zhu Guifei is his royal fortune teller, there is no reason for divination and blessing for others, and the concubines in the palace can not leave the palace, he arranged it like this, it can be said that it is unconventional, but it can show that he attaches great importance to the king of hunting, and with the status and merits of the king of hunting, he is also worthy of such a gift.

The next day, Concubine Yin and Concubine Zhu changed into civilian clothes, left the palace in a low-key manner, and went to the underworld to visit King Hunt.

Hell didn't know about it beforehand.

It wasn't until Concubine Yin was about to arrive at the house that Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Zi received a message from Concubine Yin sent someone first, and they immediately panicked, eager to beat gongs and drums immediately, and called everyone out to greet them.

The grandmother who came to report the news said: "The matter of the concubine Niangniang going out of the palace to visit the king of hunting, although it was approved by the emperor, it is extremely unruly, and it is not good to spread it, and the two ladies are asked not to make a noise." The concubine also said that she could enter the house through the back door, and asked the two ladies to be sure to remove the idle people. ”

Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Zi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately cleared the path leading from the back door to the Fuyun Pavilion, and welcomed the concubine Yin into the mansion in a low-key manner.

Zhu Guifei dressed as a female official in the palace, covered her face with a veil, and excitedly observed and looked at the underworld.

She came to pray for the blessing of the Hunting King, and she also came to secretly divide the Hunting King.

For people to do calculations, the most taboo is to work behind closed doors, you must be close to their people, know their past and present, and look at their internal and external surroundings, so as to gain insight into their future.

This time, Huangtian lived up to Concubine Yin's wishes, and when she arrived at Fuyun Pavilion, King Hunt just woke up.

When the sisters and brothers saw each other, they held hands and looked at each other, their eyes were red, and they were speechless.

Concubine Yin wanted to cry very much, and wanted to ask a lot of questions, but her younger brother was seriously ill, and she didn't dare to cry or be sad, for fear that her younger brother would be affected by her and be happy and sad, which would affect his condition.

After a long time, she stroked her brother's pale face and smiled: "Sister believes that you will get better." ”

King Hunt's originally gray eyes finally appeared with the vitality and luster unique to a living person, and he smiled: "Well, my brother must be fine, my sister can rest assured." ”

Everyone present, especially Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Zi, were greatly surprised: How could the prince come back to life? It's like a dying person who suddenly receives a miracle and is brought back to life......

The sister and brother whispered, reminisced, talked heart-to-heart, comforted each other, and cried from time to time.

When everyone saw this, they withdrew one after another.

Zhu Guifei stayed in the room all the time, not only to listen to the conversation between the sisters and brothers, but also to carefully observe the Hunting King and his room.

After Concubine Yin's love calmed down, she wished Concubine Guifei to show the King of Hunting in person.

Witchcraft is a broad knowledge, the content is very complex, each wizard is good at and the focus of study is different, some are good at witch doctor voodoo, some are good at exorcism and filth, and some can see through yin and yang, life and death...... She is good at divination and is also good at looking.

After showing the face of the hunting king, I wish the concubine to practice in the Fuyun Pavilion again and pray for the hunting king.

At this time, the Fuyun Pavilion has been blocked, and no one can get close, and only the king of hunting and the people in the palace know about what she did.

After finishing her work, she comforted Concubine Yin: "Concubine don't worry, in my opinion, the hunting king is auspicious, and with the help of nobles in his life, he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune." ”

She didn't talk nonsense, but not all of what she said was true.

Everyone has their own "qi number", just like murderous qi, anger, and vitality, which are intangible but real things, but "qi number" is much more subtle than "qi" such as murderous qi, anger, and vitality, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see.

She's a great wizard, and she can see other people's qi.

The seal hall of the hunting king is full of ominous gray gas, which is a sign of bad luck and the end of the qi, but in this gray air, there is a faint trace of auspiciousness, but that wisp of auspicious air is too light, if there is nothing, she can't be sure.

But no matter whether she is sure or not, she must comfort Concubine Yin like this.

She came to the underworld this time, it can be said that she came on behalf of the emperor, she didn't show that she was considerate and thoughtful, wouldn't it damage the emperor's good name?

Concubine Yin knew how powerful she was, and when she heard this, she was overjoyed, took her hand and said, "Niangniang, thank you for your auspicious words." The mourning family believes that if you say so, the prince will be fine. ”

Zhu Guifei hurriedly said: "The prince is a nobleman, and the nobleman has his own blessing, so the mother can rest assured." In addition, if you can be happy and confident, you can infect the prince and benefit the prince. ”

After hearing this, Concubine Yin smiled brightly: "What the concubine said is that the mourning family will never cry again." ”

Next, Concubine Yin really couldn't bear the distress, and she was full of laughter, and King Hunt was infected by her, and a rare smile appeared on her face.

Such a smile, if it is seen by others, will definitely be amazing.

But Concubine Zhu still observed the "qi" of the hunting king with great interest, and was not interested in the affairs of the sisters and brothers at all.

Earlier, she had heard rumors that the Hunter King was ill-fated but hard-hitting, and thought he must be an interesting subject to study.

Sure enough, when she first saw King Hunting, she saw the kind of air on King Hunt that was sometimes clear and turbid, sometimes thick and sometimes light, sometimes none, and sometimes fierce and auspicious.

She can't see through this "qi", so she is more interested.

It's just that time flies too fast, and she hasn't seen enough of this strange "qi" and is going back.

Concubine Yin ordered someone to serve the meal, and after eating with her younger brother, she finally walked out of the Floating Cloud Pavilion reluctantly.

Feng Jinghua stood behind the flowers opposite the Floating Cloud Pavilion and looked at them.

They are people in the palace, and they have a lot of contact with Qiu Yexian, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she deliberately avoids it and only observes in secret.

Zhu Guifei forgot to cover her veil when she came out of Fuyun Pavilion, looked around as she walked, and inadvertently took a look at Feng Jinghua.

Both of them were slightly stunned.

Zhu Guifei was stunned because she faintly saw the misty "qi" from Feng Jinghua's body, she wanted to take a few more looks, but was stopped by the palace maid beside her, so she had to give up and leave.

Feng was stunned because she felt that the other party's face was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

After Concubine Yin and her party disappeared, Feng Jinghua walked into the Floating Cloud Pavilion.

King Hunter seemed to be asleep, but she knew that he was awake and asked, "Who is the strange woman who is following Concubine Yin?" ”

King Hunt didn't even open his eyes: "Zhu You, Zhu Guifei, Zhu the five daughters of the family." ”

Feng Jinghua let out an "oh" and stopped talking.

She remembered that she had seen Zhu Ci's daughter Zhu Ci, and Zhu Ci and Zhu You looked very similar, so she felt that Zhu You was a little familiar.

Speaking of the three young ladies of the Zhu family, they are quite legendary and often talked about by literati.
