Back in the dormitory, Chu Zihou asked Gonggong Zhang to take him to the archives on the grounds that Emperor Guangzhao had promised him to go to any department in the palace, and successfully persuaded the administrator of the archives to see the archives of the officials in northern Xinjiang, from which he learned the address of the Shen Mansion and the situation of his family members.

It stands to reason that this kind of information also has a copy of this kind of information in the northern Xinjiang under his jurisdiction, but he wanted to take a closer look at it before returning to the northern Xinjiang, so he immediately took action.

After knowing Shen Xizhen's identity, an idea gradually became clear in his heart.

He planned carefully, his face not moving, but his heart beat several beats faster.

No dreams.

As soon as the fourth watch passed, Chu Zihou immediately got up, washed, changed clothes, ate breakfast, and then walked to the court hall under the leadership of Gonggong Zhang.

Because of Chu Zihou's arrival, Emperor Guangzhao was more energetic and light-spoken than before.

Most of the civil and military officials were also happy when they saw Chu Zihou, because every time King Qingping came back, the emperor was in a good mood, and when the emperor was in a good mood, their life as courtiers would naturally be much better, so everyone also hoped that he could often go back to Beijing to walk around.

Of course, in the eyes of the ministers, the crown prince Chu Zican is gentle and elegant, full of economy, the king of Qingping, Chu Zi is generous, both civil and military, and the third prince Chu Ziyao has thick eyebrows and big eyes, bold and funny, each of them is very likable.

Emperor Guangzhao looked down at the three talented and beautiful beloved sons from his seat, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

His gaze stayed on Chu Zihou for a long time.

Hou'er, the appearance is really as the soothsayer said back then!

In the court, the crown prince Chu Zican actively issued his personal opinions on the ministers' advice and reports, and the opinions were pertinent and insightful, which made Emperor Guangzhao and all the ministers nod their heads again and again.

Emperor Guangzhao deliberately asked Chu Zihou for his opinion on a few questions, but Chu Zihou pretended not to understand, so he did not give any convincing advice.

Although Emperor Guangzhao was slightly disappointed, he also knew that he rarely participated in court affairs, and he didn't dare to say it lightly even if he had ideas, so he didn't criticize him for half a sentence.

As for Chu Ziyao, because he was still young, Emperor Guangzhao didn't ask him, so he didn't dare to speak casually.

After retiring from the dynasty, Chu Zihou went to Shang Shufang to make an appointment between Chu Zican and Chu Ziyao.

Knowing from the protector Liu Shipai that Chu Zihou did not have any outstanding appearance in the court, Empress Wenci smiled slightly: "Count him a little self-aware. ”

"It is said that the emperor asked him to stay for a few more days, he agreed, and the emperor also specially approved him to go to various departments." Liu Shijian said cautiously again.

Empress Wenci's expression suddenly changed: "Then, uncle, immediately send someone to monitor him, if he dares to do anything presumptuous, help me come forward to send him a few words of warning." ”

"No, the minister will do it." Liu Shipai hurriedly took the order.

…………………………………

After dawn, Xizhen told her mother about the departure of the Xuanji Daoist.

Du Qiniang was also surprised when she heard it: "Why did you leave suddenly?" I thought he would always live there. ”

"The master said it was because the opportunity had come." Xi Zhen replied.

"Alas......." Du Qiniang sighed lightly, and many words stopped at her lips. Xuanji Daoist is Xizhen's mentor and nobleman, and Xizhen feels relieved to learn from him, so she has long regarded him as her own relative. Now that he is suddenly gone, Du Qiniang's heart is naturally very reluctant.

However, she also knew that practitioners were not bound by the feelings of the world, and that their fate and stay were not something that worldly people like her could control, so she quickly accepted this fact.

"How is it arranged today? Reading a book or practicing? Du Qiniang looked at Xi Zhen and asked softly.

"Read books in the morning, practice the piano in the afternoon, and talk to my mother in the evening." Xi Zhen replied.

"Okay, then let's have breakfast together, today Mama Chen made your favorite purple potato and red bean porridge." Hearing her arrangement, Du Qiniang smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay." Xi Zhen then helped her to the dining room.

After breakfast, Xizhen went into the study.

The study room of the Shen Mansion is very large, with nearly 10,000 books in it, all of which are classified and placed, so the whole study room looks neat and spectacular.

Xizhen sat down at the desk and did not read the book immediately, but asked Xiang'er to take out the four treasures of the study.

Xiang'er immediately complied.

"Is Miss going to write poetry or letters?" Xiang'er asked as she studied ink.

"Write a letter." Xizhen replied with a smile.

"Oh." Xiang'er wanted to ask her if she wrote to Shen Xibin and Shen Xicong, and if so, Xiang'er wanted to ask her to help bring a few words to Brother Xicong.

Yes, Xiang'er has always secretly liked Brother Xicong in her heart, although she knows that her identity is not worthy of him, but she still can't control her heart and wants to do something for him. Even if it's insignificant, like a greeting, a small embroidered purse, a homemade sweat towel.

"I'm not writing to the two brothers this time, I'm writing to someone you don't know, talking about something important." Hee Zhen already knew what was on her mind and explained with a smile.

"Oh, I see, Miss doesn't have to explain it to me, just do what you want." Xiang'er hurriedly responded, for fear that she would see her little caution.

Xizhen smiled but did not answer, closed his eyes and pondered.

After a while, Xiang'er finished grinding the ink.

"Miss, the ink can be used." Xiang'er whispered to Xi Zhen, who was contemplating.

"Xiang'er, go and help me call Agui to the study." Hee Zhen said as he lifted the pen.

"Okay." Xiang'er took the order and walked out.

In less than half an hour, Agui walked in from outside.

"Miss, are you looking for me?" Agui looked at Xizhen and asked respectfully.

At this time, Xi Zhen just put the written letter into the envelope. She nodded at him, carefully sealing the envelope with paste.

"This letter, please help me hand it over to Liu Xianchen, the captain of the Dragon Caravan. Go now. She said in a calm tone, handing him the letter.

There are not many people in the Shen Mansion, and Ah Gui is loyal, honest and capable, so Xizhen sends him to do anything important.

"Okay." Gui replied, and he could tell the importance of the letter in the young lady's tone, so his expression immediately became solemn.

This is the second time that Agui has gone to the post station of the Longzi caravan in the capital, which is located at the east end of Ximo Street and the junction of the north and south intersections.

Ah Gui galloped from Shen Mansion and it took about two and a half hours.

He still remembers vividly when he first came here.

It was a spring morning a year ago, and the young lady had changed into a pure white men's dress for the first time and asked him to accompany her out on a trip. This is where they came, and the one they saw was Liu Xianchen. Judging from Liu Xianchen's expression at that time, Ah Gui can conclude that it was also the first time that Miss and Liu Xianchen met. After greeting each other, they went into the parlor to talk in secret, and he remained in the outer hall and waited quietly. When they came out of the living room, he found that Miss's expression was as calm as usual, and Liu Xianchen's eyes when he looked at Miss changed from vigilance and surprise to cordiality and admiration.

Since he had been here before, Ah Gui met Liu Xianchen very smoothly this time.

Liu Xianchen, the captain of the dragon caravan, is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a good-looking mustache, don't look at his appearance like an elegant scholar, in fact, he is a martial arts master who can kill people anytime and anywhere.

Agui handed the letter written by Shen Xizhen to Liu Xianchen.

Liu Xianchen immediately opened the letter, but saw four lines of poetry written in Juanxiu's font on the snow-white letterhead: undercurrents under the glacier, blackbirds chirping on the opposite side of the cloud bank, murderous in the hinterland of the mountains, and changing clothes and faces to explore the north.

Liu Xianchen was also a scholar, so after reading this poem, he immediately understood what Xizhen meant - she asked him to help find out the movements of Mao Guo. He couldn't help but sigh at her clever calculation, which was able to pinching the time for him to return to Beijing so accurately, and knew that he was about to leave for Maoguo.

He then folded the letter and put it in his pocket, and said to Ah Gui: "Reply to your young lady for me, just say that I will leave this afternoon, and I will inform her as soon as I get the exact news." ”

"Okay, then I'll take my leave." Agui hugged his fist goodbye to him, and galloped home.

I still have to ask for collections, clicks and various tickets, please support me.
