Zhang Yunfang, Chunlan, Jiumei, and Wu Xiugu came to the door of the Four Seas Restaurant.

The ninth sister pointed to the Sihai Restaurant with her hand: This is the fifth big restaurant we are looking for, and it is also the last big restaurant we are looking for tonight.

As he was talking, he saw a young man who looked like a man coming out of the door of the restaurant and started to close the window and door panels on the window and door.

Seeing this, Wu Xiugu hurriedly walked over to the guy and asked: Man, are there any guests drinking inside?

The guy shook his head: No, the guests are gone.

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the sky, saying, "It's already the third watch, who is still drinking, and they all go home to sleep."

Wu Xiugu turned her head to the three of them: There is no here, it seems that I will have to wait until tomorrow to find it somewhere else.

Zhang Yunfang didn't give up, walked over and asked the guy: This little brother, did you have a young man in a blue shirt and about twenty years old here at noon today?

The guy smiled and said, "There are twenty or thirty young men in blue shirts who came to our restaurant today, I don't know which one the young lady asked."

Zhang Yunfang said: His face is quite dark.

Guy shook his head: I didn't pay attention to this.

Chunlan was impatient and interjected: The person our young lady is talking about is Master Li, the new prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Hearing this, the guy's eyes lit up: You are talking about the young prefect who eliminated eight gangs at once, killed eight bastard gang leaders, and gave a bad breath for the people of our Bianjing City, yes, he did come to our restaurant to drink at the end of the day, as if he was drinking with another young man in a private room on the third floor.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: Are they still here?

The man said: Miss, as I said just now, the guests in the restaurant have already left, and the prefect left earlier.

After that, he thought about it, and then said: By the way, it seems that the prefect was drunk and was taken away by two people who came downstairs to help him into a car.

The ninth sister hurriedly asked: Man, when did our prefect leave your restaurant?

Hearing this, the guy thought for a while and said: The prefect left drunk before half an hour after coming to our restaurant, it should be Shen Shichu.

Zhang Yunfang was shocked: What, I left so early, why didn't Yinglong return to the mansion, it couldn't be an accident, right?

Wu Xiugu hurriedly comforted her: No, it may be that the adult is drunk, and the adult's friend is embarrassed to send the adult back, so he took the adult to his house to rest, and the adult will come back by himself early tomorrow morning.

The ninth sister said: Madam, Mr. Wu is right, it is likely that this is the case, don't worry, let's go back and wait.

It had no choice but to do so, Zhang Yunfang nodded, and the three of them turned around and walked back.

Luoyang City was heavily guarded, and dozens of soldiers lined up in front of the city gate to strictly check the pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate.

After a day and a night of wild running, along the way in the post station two sets of horses, Zhao Ying, Shi Shao, Du Qi sister-in-law and more than a dozen girls wearing the clothes of the maids of the Luoyang Palace, finally came to Luoyang City in the morning of the next day, in the face of the inspection of the soldiers, the women did not get off the horse.

I saw Zhao Ying stretch out his hand and take out a gold medal from his bosom and shine it to the soldiers guarding the city gate, and said loudly: Luoyang Palace, get out of the way and let us enter the city.

When a leader saw the gold medal, he hurriedly shouted to the soldiers standing in the middle of the road checking the passers-by: Get out of the way, quickly

Get out of the way.

Hearing this, all the soldiers hurriedly dodged to both sides to make way for them.

Zhao Ying waved his hand and shouted: Let's go into the city.

Then he led all the women to drive their horses to the city.

Under the leadership of Zhao Ying, the women rode their horses and stopped in front of the gate of the Luoyang Palace, and then jumped off their horses together.

There were more than a dozen soldiers guarding in front of the palace, and when they saw a group of female knights suddenly coming, they didn't know what was going on, so they pulled out their waist knives and surrounded them like a great enemy.

An officer-like man pointed at the women with a long sword in his hand and shouted: Hey, who are you? What for? Dare to come to the palace, don't you want to die?

Zhao Ying looked at him and saw that he didn't know a new face, so he asked lightly: Are you new?

The officer said: How do you know that I am new here, who are you?

Zhao Yingdao: I am the county lord of the palace.

Then he took the maidens and walked to the gate of the palace.

The officer waved the long sword in his hand to block Zhao Ying's way and shouted: Stop, the palace is something you can enter.

Zhao Ying said angrily: Didn't you hear what I said just now, I am the county lord of the palace, this is my home, why can't I enter.

The officer didn't believe it: I have been in the palace for almost a month, and I have never heard of a county lord in the palace, who are you lying about, saying, where are you from, and what are your intentions in coming to our palace?

Zhao Ying was so angry, just wanted to beat the officer, when he saw Qi Fu, the chief manager of the palace, walking out of the mansion, and saw a bunch of people gathered in front of the door, so he asked angrily: Why is it so messy, what's going on?

Seeing that it was their chief manager, the officer hurriedly pointed to Zhao Ying with his hand: "Grand Administrator Qi, just now this woman pretended to be the county lord to enter the palace, and his subordinates were preparing to take her down and punish her."

Hearing this, Qi Fu looked over here, he recognized Zhao Ying at a glance, and hurriedly ran over to give a salute and said: It's the county lord, the county lord, you're back.

After that, he turned his head and reprimanded the officer sharply: What are you doing, don't you even know the county lord, why don't you come over and meet the county lord.

Hearing this, the officer was so frightened that his body shook suddenly, and his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly ran over and said: "The villain sees the county lord."

After that, he paused, and said: The villain has not seen the county lord before, does not know the county lord, offended the county lord, please forgive the villain's offense.

Zhao Ying waved at him and ignored him anymore, then turned his head to Qi Fu and asked: Manager Qi, is my mother okay?

Qi Fu shook his head: The princess is not good, she had a big quarrel with the prince a few days ago, and then she went on a hunger strike without eating or drinking, and now she can't get up from the bed.

Hearing this, Zhao Ying was in a hurry, so she rushed to the door of the mansion, and the women hurriedly followed her and ran in.

The princess's face was very pale, her eyes were closed on the bed, if it weren't for the breath coming in and out, she would be no different from a dead person.

In front of the bed stood two maids with rice bowls in their hands and anxious faces, and the two kept calling to the princess on the bed: Princess Niangniang, eat something, Princess Niangniang, eat something.

Zhao Ying broke in, and when a maid turned her head and saw that it was their county lord who came in, she couldn't help but shout in surprise: County lord, county lord, are you back? Great, come and persuade the princess, the princess has not eaten or drunk for several days.

After that, he walked over with another maid and bowed to Zhao Ying in unison: The slave and maid see the county lord.

Zhao Ying was in the mood to pay attention to them, so she threw herself in front of the bed at once, and then shouted to the princess on the bed in horror: Mother, mother, what are you doing

What's wrong?

Zhao Ying's shout made the princess realize that it might be her daughter who had returned, so she slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was indeed Zhao Ying, and then she said in an extremely weak voice: Ying'er, why did you ------- you come back? You don't ------- shouldn't come back.

Zhao Ying looked at the rice bowl held by the two maids, and couldn't help but reprimand angrily: My mother hasn't eaten for a few days, how can such dry rice be swallowed, why don't you go and change to a bowl of millet porridge, quickly.

Hearing this, the two maids hurriedly answered: Yes, county lord.

In response, he turned around and ran out with his rice bowl in his hand.

Then the ladies also came into the house.

Shi Yao hurriedly came to the bed and asked, "Sister Ying, what's wrong with my aunt?"

Zhao Ying cried and said: Take a look for yourself.

Shi Yao looked at the dying princess and couldn't help but be shocked: My God! How did my aunt do this!

Du Qi's sister-in-law came over and squatted down in front of the bed, then grabbed one of the princess's wrists and checked her pulse, and then said with a smile: Lord Zhao, you don't have to worry, aunt doesn't matter, she is hungry, as long as you eat in time, your body will recover soon.

When the princess saw so many people coming, she couldn't help but ask in surprise: Ying'er, what are you going to ------ doing?

Zhao Yingdao: Come back to do something, and take my mother to the capital by the way.

The princess hurriedly said: Ying'er, my mother is not going, my mother is not going, my ------mother is not going anywhere.

At this time, two maids hurriedly walked in with two bowls of millet porridge and a few side dishes on a tray.

A maid said: "County lord, millet porridge is here."

Zhao Ying pointed to the table with his hand and said: Put it on the table, it's none of your business, you can retreat.

The two maids shouted in unison: Yes, county lord.

He put the porridge and side dishes on the tray on the table, then bowed and withdrew.

Zhao Ying came to the table, picked up a bowl of millet porridge, took a spoon and returned to the bed, and then said to the princess: Mother, come, drink some millet porridge first.

The princess shook her head: I won't eat, Ying'er, you ------ you go, leave Luoyang City, don't ------- come back.

Zhao Ying asked: Mother, why don't you eat?

The princess's mouth moved to speak, but she didn't say it, just shook her head slightly.

Zhao Yingdao: Mother, in fact, you don't need to say that I know why, mother, you don't want to live because of your father's affairs, and you want to starve yourself to death, right?

With that, Zhao Ying shoved the rice bowl in her hand into Shi Yao's hand, reached out and took out a dagger from her arms, and then pulled out the sheath and stabbed it into her abdomen.

Du Qi's sister-in-law was beside her, and when she saw this, she grabbed her wrist and exclaimed: Lord Zhao, what are you going to do?

Zhao Ying said with tears: My mother is going to die, I don't want my daughter anymore, what is the meaning of me living in this world, it is better to die than to live in pain.

Seeing this, the princess hurriedly struggled to sit up from the bed and said to Zhao Ying: Ying'er, don't, don't.

Zhao Ying said in a resolute tone: Mother, you don't have to persuade me, in fact, my daughter has already lived enough, I don't want to live, my daughter didn't die, because there is still a mother in this world, since my mother is going to die, why is my daughter still alive, mother, my daughter is not filial, let's go first.

After saying that, she struggled to stab herself in the abdomen with the dagger in her hand, and Du Qi's sister-in-law tried her best to stop it.

Seeing this, Shi Yao hurriedly stuffed the rice bowl in his hand into a girl's hand, and then ran over to help stop it.
