78 In the evening, Liu Hao walked out of the wall covered with red silk grass, and Eunuch Zheng stooped down and walked in front, carrying a lantern to guide him, and the scorched yellow light illuminated the gloom on his face.

He walked aimlessly under the porch, his mind full of the things that had just been prying out of Ji Xingxuan's mouth.

The secret she used to negotiate the conditions with him sounded simply ridiculous, and the candidate for the future succession was not decided by the emperor, but according to the "Xuannu Liuren Book".

Liu Hao would rather believe that Ji Xingxuan told him a big lie to save his life, but he calmed down and after thinking about it, he actually felt that her words were somewhat credible.

From a distance, the princes of the past dynasties are not all the queen's concubines, such as his father Emperor Zhaoqing, before entering the East Palace, the first queen mother was just one of the many concubines of the first emperor, because she had two sons and a daughter, so she was named a virtuous concubine.

Liu Hao knows a little about the rights and wrongs of the previous generation, and his imperial uncles who died of illness or were released far away were more capable than his father, but the throne fell on the head of his father.

This is intriguing.

Looking closely, the father and emperor are middle-aged, his health is deteriorating, and the queen has no heirs, but he is reluctant to choose a successor from their group of princes, even if the folds of the prince are piled up in the imperial study, he is unmoved.

What was he waiting for?

Ji Xingxuan was vague, only saying that the "Book of Xuannu Liuren" would show who would be the next emperor, but she couldn't tell why, which left Liu Hao room for reverie.

If what she said was true, then the father was left undecided. Is it because the successor candidate on the "Xuannu Liuren Book" is different from what he thinks? Or is it because something else has gone wrong, so they are not sure who will succeed them?

Liu Hao felt that Ji Xingxuan didn't have the courage to lie to him about this kind of thing, because she was afraid of death. So she had reservations and didn't tell him about it, such as who the child's father was, such as her mysterious master.

But it doesn't matter, she wants to change her face and start a new life, and she wants to keep her children. That was enough for him to squeeze her veins.

Liu Hao thought about it. was relieved, he wanted to leave her life, as well as the evil seed, until their mother and son had no more value in life.

Walk through the darkest corners of King Ning's Mansion. The lights are bright ahead. Liu Hao unknowingly came to Princess Ning's courtyard. Looking at the young woman who hurriedly came out to greet people, his eyes skimmed over her only delicate features, and he smiled. Stretched out his hand to help her up, and said with a pleasant face:

"Have you had dinner, will you join me?"

Princess Ning couldn't get him a smile, so she agreed flatteredly and went into the house hand in hand with him.

But soon she realized that King Ning's good face was not given for nothing. After this meal, there will be an extra concubine named "Ruwei" in King Ning's mansion, as well as the son she gave birth to King Ning.

Si Tianjian Taixi Building

Early in the morning, Jingchen came over and listened to his request with a morning tea, which was quite unexpected.

"You want to see the suspect?"

Jingchen nodded: "Although I dreamed that that person was related to my plot, I didn't remember the whole story, I want to meet him, maybe I can remember more details." If it's convenient, I'd like to sit in on him while you're interrogating him. ”

His reasons were impeccable, and he didn't refuse, and after thinking about it, he agreed.

"You go back first, and come back later." The suspect was imprisoned by him in the dark, and there were many people in Si Tianjian during the day, so it was inconvenient for him to go in and out with Jingchen, so he had to wait until after sunset.

It was still early, Jingchen left Taixi Building, and went back to Kunling Bureau to give Yu Shu an answer-

"Big mention promise to take me tonight."

Yu Shu was a little relieved and thanked him, "Thanks to your willingness to help." ”

"I'll tell you when I've met the man."

Jingchen stayed in the Kunling Bureau for a morning, making a show for outsiders, so as not to let people notice that he had come to find Yu Shu on a special trip.

After he left, Yu Shu absentmindedly reviewed the latest official marriage documents, and Wen Shaoan went to the Taishi Shuyuan to report, and there was one less person in the room, which seemed extremely quiet.

She stayed up all afternoon, and as soon as the hour came, she packed up her things and led the guards away, not wanting to be outside the gate of Si Tianjian, where someone was waiting for the rabbit.

"Lotus Room!"

Someone shouted at her, Yu Shu turned her face, and saw a person leading a tall horse striding towards her, taking off the hat covering her head, revealing a bright face, it was Jiang Huan.

After Mrs. Weiguo's birthday banquet, this was the first time that the two met each other, and Yu Shu annoyed Jiang Huan because Jiang Huan silently included her in the reserve army of Princess Tianjing, and now she watched people walk in front of her silently.

Lu Hong and Xu Qing knew the Chunwei county lord of the Dongjing Palace, and when they saw that Yu Shu was silent, they lowered their heads on the spot, although they did not salute, but they were respectful.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Jiang Huan opened her mouth to complain, if there was no such thing as choosing a concubine, Yu Shu would definitely smile and greet people, and make fun of her a few more words, but now she just wants to know what she is doing when she comes to the door.

"What is the county lord looking for me?"

Jiang Huan heard her unfamiliar and polite salutation, raised a pair of thick eyebrows, and said, "Are you complaining about me?" ”

After the banquet in the Dongjing Palace, Xue Rui found her and told her not to beat Yu Shu's idea, the two turned their faces because of this, Jiang Huan was already unhappy, and now she saw Yu Shu put a face on her, and she was even more unhappy.

"What did the county lord do to make me complain?" Yu Shu asked rhetorically, turned her head and walked to the other side with the two guards, she didn't ride a horse today, and the sedan chair stopped at the corner of the street.

Jiang Huan gritted her teeth and followed with the reins.

"I won't talk about the past, let me ask you, where did Xue Dalang go? Do you know that something happened to their house? ”

Yu Shu glanced back at her, and said in her heart that she had heard that Yu Linjun had gone to Xue's house to arrest people, and she couldn't find Xue Rui so she came to her to ask for someone, thinking that the news of Xue Rui's disappearance had not yet been transmitted back to Dali Temple.

"You mean that there is a subordinate in the Xue family who was arrested, right? I've heard about it too. ”

"Yes," Jiang Huan answered her impatiently, and then asked: "Since you know the Tao, why don't you hurry up and tell me where he went." ”

Yu Shu said unhurriedly: "You are so flustered, it is his family's subordinates who were arrested, what does it matter." ”

Jiang Huan snorted coldly and looked at her: "What do you know, it was a general manager of the Xue family who was arrested, and he was wanted by the emperor, and I don't know what heinous crimes that bastard committed, I'm afraid that if one is not good, their whole family will be involved." ”

After that, he frowned again, "I'm too lazy to say more to you, you can say it quickly, do you know where Xue Dalang is?" ”

"Well, I don't know." Yu Shu shrugged.

When Jiang Huan heard this, she glared at her fiercely, then turned over on her horse and walked away.

Yu Shu looked at the direction she left, and slowly frowned, she didn't tell Jiang Huan that others went to Fenghua Mansion to handle the case, not out of selfishness, but worried that she would impulsively go to Fenghua Mansion to find someone, this matter was already messy enough, and if someone from Dongjing Wangfu got involved, I was afraid that it would add fuel to the fire.

She pinched her eyebrows and sighed.

Big brother, where the hell are you now? (To be continued......)
