Bypassing the shadow wall at the door, a faint smell of blood wafted over in an instant, and before Ye Qing could frown and ask, Tao Qian walked over with a lantern.

There was a lot of blood stained on the moon-white outer clothes, and the two maids who followed closely behind Tao Qian were pale, with a trace of nervousness and panic in their expressions.

"Didn't even let go of here?" Ye Qing frowned and asked.

"There are twenty-seven people in total, fortunately, the Imperial City Division has already cleaned up the corpse just now." Tao Qian lowered his head and followed Ye Qing's line of sight, looked at the blood stains on his body, as well as the sleeves on his arms that oozed a lot of blood, and said with a smile: "A little injury, it's okay." ”

"Bandage it, lest you be crippled." Ye Qing's tone was still calm, and Zhong Silkworm, who sent Ye Qing back, walked out without saying a word.

Ye Qing glanced back, but did not stop Zhong Silkworm, and after looking inside and outside the house with Fang Fei accompanied by the two maids, Tao Qian, who had finished bandaging, appeared in front of Ye Qing again.

"Anything else?" Ye Qing asked with a slightly tired expression.

Tao Qian naturally knew that Ye Qing in today was busy enough, first going to Gushan, and then in the Yan family's courtyard, it is estimated that he must have suffered more assassins than in the mansion to assassinate him, so he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "In this alley, at least it can be determined that there are three families related to this group of assassins, so I want to ask, do you want me to visit our neighbors early tomorrow morning?" ”

"Make up your own mind, but don't make a big fuss, and it's better to settle down after tonight. Hold your ground and see who else will jump out before the court meeting. Ye Qing flipped through the table casually, and there were no new letters about Beidi, etc., so he put down his heart and made a pot of tea himself, and drank tea while talking to Tao Qian in the study.

When the sky was dark, Tao Qian stretched his waist, and before he could stand up, he heard movement outside, so he casually said to Ye Qing: "You go to rest, I'll go see what's going on." ”

Ye Qing yawned and nodded, and just walked out of the study and was about to go upstairs, when he saw Zhong Silkworm covered in blood, and Zhong Qing with a worried look on his face walking in.

"You...... How did you get back? Ye Qing didn't expect Zhong Qing to appear at this time, it stands to reason that she shouldn't be in Lonely Mountain, right?

Without waiting for Zhong Qing, who looked concerned about him up and down, Ye Qing looked at Zhong Silkworm in front of him, and then said: "If you are not injured, if you are not injured, go down and sleep well, and then in the afternoon, you will go to the Imperial City Division Prison Camp outside the city, from today on, no one will be allowed to leave the Prison Camp without my order." ”

"Yes...... My lord, the house is ....... Zhong Silkworm asked a little nervously.

"Tonight, we will move to the house in Zhonghe Lane, after all, it is closer to the palace, Tao Qian will send someone to clean up the house in a while, you and Jia Shi will also live there." Ye Qing said.

As soon as Zhong Silkworm heard that he was going to change the house, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the prince of the house in Tonghuifang, except for Ye Qing and Zhong Qing, only the gatehouse can live a limited number of people, so it is difficult to be all-encompassing in terms of guards, but if it is moved to the big mansion on the other side of Zhonghe Lane, then Zhong Silkworm, Jia She, and even including the two hundred personal soldiers, even if they all live in it, the house will never seem crowded.

As soon as Zhong Qing heard that Ye Qing was going to move to Zhonghe Lane, he volunteered to clean up in person, Ye Qing did not refuse, so he asked Zhong Silkworm to arrange for someone to follow Zhong Qing and Fang Fei together, and he went back to the second floor and fell asleep like a shopkeeper.

And in the palace at this time, unlike Ye Qing, who was busy all night, but waited all night and did not wait for Huang Guifei, the current saint Zhao Dan, when the sky was bright, he saw Li Fengniang come to Funing Hall again, but the strange thing is that he followed last night

Huang Guifei, who left with Li Fengniang, has disappeared.

"What about Huang Guifei?" A bad premonition faintly rose in Zhao Dan's heart.

"Is the saint so worried about Huang Guifei? Aren't you afraid of snubbing other concubines and Jieyu like this? Li Fengniang smiled, and then motioned to the eunuch next to her, put a wooden box in Zhao Dan, and said lightly: "The concubine body thinks that the saint should not be so exclusive to one person, so the concubine body has asked Dong Guifei to come over to accompany you to recuperate in the Funing Palace." ”

After finishing speaking, she didn't pay attention to the dazed Zhao Dan, and after the eunuch put down the wooden box, she bowed slightly and left the Funing Palace, and then when she stepped out of the Funing Palace, there was a crackling sound behind her, and the frightened voice of the Holy Zhao Dian.

"Huang Guifei...... Queen, you ....... Zhao Dian looked at the bloodless head in the wooden box, both familiar and unfamiliar, his face was pale, and cold sweat instantly covered his entire forehead, he couldn't imagine at all, overnight, how Huang Guifei ...... And so it became.

Some mournful shouts sounded again from the Funing Palace, and Dong Guifei, who had already walked to the door of the Funing Palace, was instantly tightened, and her eyes involuntarily looked at Li Fengniang who was smiling with some awe.

"Go in and appease the saint, the imperial doctor will come over in a while, these days, Huang Guifei is not here, you will move to this Funing Hall to accompany the saint, don't let the palace worry and disappoint." Li Fengniang looked at the distance in the early morning and said lightly.

"The concubine obeys the order." Dong Guifei said with a hint of trembling in her tone.

Li Fengniang glanced at Concubine Dong Guifei lightly, ignoring the sad crying from the current saint Zhao Dan in the Funing Hall behind her, and walked in the direction of her Ciyuan Palace.

Overnight, Li Fengniang finally had no competitors in the palace, and even a person who didn't like her eyes no longer existed, and now she, in her heart, has finally ascended to the position of the real queen, and no one dares to disobey her will.

In Tonghuifang, Ye Qing slept until noon, and hurriedly washed up under the service of the maid, and received an invitation from Shi Miyuan.

In the entire small courtyard, with Zhong Qing, Fang Fei, and Tao Qian, Zhong Silkworm went to the prison camp outside the city, and only Ye Qing and the two maids were left at home.

Sitting down under the mulberry tree, looking at the people of Shifu who were holding the invitation in his hand and standing respectfully in front of him, Ye Qing squinted his eyes and knocked for a long time before he reached out to take the invitation and asked, "Did your adult ever want you to bring anything?" ”

"Lord Huiye, no, the master just instructed the small one to hand the invitation to the adult in person." The people of Shi Mansion said respectfully, but there was a trace of disdain in their hearts.

Originally, he thought that Ye Qing, who could sit on an equal footing with his family on top of the court, should have a very large mansion, but when he came over today, it was not as big as the garden of the Shi Mansion, and even the front yard of the Shi Mansion was much bigger than here.

Ye Qing nodded, motioned to the maid to send Shi Fu's subordinates away, and then sat under the mulberry tree and opened the invitation card leisurely, the word Yongjinlou floated into his eyes for the first time, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking about the purpose of Shi Miyuan's banquet tonight, and then walked alone in the direction of the third aunt's tavern.

The streets and alleys of Tonghuifang are still as quiet as ever, especially since Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, this street and alley that should have been busy with traffic has become what it is now, and every household is closed with its door, and it is no longer as welcoming as before.

Even if these people don't know what happened last night, they can probably guess that it must be related to Ye Qing, who has just returned to Lin'an.

Sitting in the secluded corner of the third aunt's tavern, pouring himself a drink, and after a while, Meng Heng and Bi met again

appeared in a hurry, and after seeing Ye Qing in the corner, he immediately walked over and sat down opposite.

"Your Excellency......." Meng Heng and Bi Zaiyu's expressions also looked somewhat tired, and it seemed that last night was also a difficult night for them.

"Zhao Ruyu's body is still in Dali Temple?" Ye Qing asked while pouring wine for the two.

"Yes, the people from the Criminal Department came early this morning, and the lower officials also personally handed over the chapter to the imperial court, but at this time, neither the imperial court nor the palace have sent out the letter." Meng Heng said first.

"Don't be in a hurry, just be patient and wait." Ye Qing nodded, then looked at Bi Zaiyu and said, "Are you interested in being sent by the pacification envoy of Huainan Road?" ”

Whether it is Bi Zaiyu or Meng Hui, it can be regarded as the queen of the gate, and Bi Zaiyu is also burly, and it is said that his martial arts are still very good, and he has not put it down until now.

"Huainan Road?" Meng Hui and Bi Zai asked in unison.

"Yes, in some time, the court should discuss this matter, and it is only a matter of time or time." Ye Qing picked up his wine glass and motioned to the two of them.

"Xiaguan ......." Bi Zaiyu was a little hesitant, looked at Ye Qing, who was smiling and silent, and said after thinking for a while: "Xiaguan is afraid that he can't afford it...... This important task, if it is Huainan East Road, Xiaguan is naturally full of confidence, but if it is Huainan Road, my lord, the subtleties of this, you don't need to say that Xiaguan also understands, so Xiaguan is still quite worried, and he is afraid of living up to the expectations of adults. ”

Bi Zaiyu is telling the truth, if it is only one Huainan East Road, then although it will also face pressure from the court, but compared with the Huainan East Road that is combined, the pressure can be said to be much less.

And once Huainan East Road is combined into one, then the pressure is by no means a simple matter of one plus one equals two, he is naturally very clear about the dispatch duties of the pacification envoy, and the delicate situation of Huainan Road is already of great importance to Ye Qing, so once something goes wrong, it will never be a trivial matter.

Ye Qing nodded in agreement, and then said: "Now that I think about it, I can be entrusted with the important task, and the only one who reassures me is the two of you, and Meng Heng, as the secretary of Dali Temple, must not take any action at this time, and there is also a need for someone to escort Huainan Road above the court." So, ah, this burden...... It can only be borne by you and Xiao Zhen again. ”

Bi Zaiyu looked at Meng Heng, who was quite agreeable, and followed Meng Heng, who nodded, and then pondered with a wine glass, Ye Qing and Meng Heng did not interrupt his contemplation, and drank slowly with the wine glass silently.

"My lord, please forgive the presumptuousness of the lower official, the lower official...... Can you tell your lord what you're going to do next? Bi Zaiyu asked after hesitating.

"The most important thing, the people of the north, cross the Yellow River, recover the lost land, and be ashamed of my Great Song Dynasty." Ye Qing said briefly.

"Therefore, the importance of Huainan Road to adults is becoming more and more important, and adults are really relieved to hand over Huainan Road to the lower officials...... Xiaguan ...... The lower official is afraid that he will not be able to give an answer to the adult for a while, and he needs to carefully consider the ....... Bi Zaiyu's thoughtfulness does not match his appearance at all.

Meng Hui held the wine glass, and looked at Bi Zaiyu, who had a solemn expression, and smiled: "Lord Bi is worried about following Lord Ye's ......." ”

"Absolutely not, never so." Without waiting for Meng Hui to finish speaking, Bi Zaiyu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The lower official has no such intention, the lower official wants to think about it, if the lower official agrees to the adult, whether he can live up to the trust of the adult, it is definitely not because he is afraid of offending other people in the court because of this." ”

"Okay, in that case, give you two days, and give me your answer before the court." Ye Qing smiled happily, then raised his glass, and the three of them turned the topic to Zhao Ruyu in Dali Temple again.
