Second, when Zhou Huan opened her eyes, she realized that the head outside had shone on the edge of the couch, and she turned it up in wonder, as if her son was getting more and more sleepy during this time.

I used to go to the study, but I slept groggily for two (rì), and in the end, I was taken out of the palace without reacting.

"What about your master?" Zhou Huan got dressed and looked at the little palace maid in front of him in wonder.

This is not the person who took care of herself yesterday, and it seems that Qi Yu is not satisfied with her efficiency.

The palace maid said respectfully: "The girl should drink the medicine first, it's not good if it's cold." ”

After that, a bowl of black Chinese medicine was placed in front of Zhou Huan, she was proficient in all kinds of medicinal materials, as long as she was careful, she would definitely find the problem in the medicine bowl.

Therefore, when Qi Yu came back, the palace maid in the room knelt on the ground, but Zhou Huan sat on the high seat, staring coldly at the medicine bowl on the table, and the things in it were already extremely cold.

"Go down first." Qi Yu motioned for the palace maids to leave first.

The room fell silent for a moment, and then Zhou Huan got up (shēn), picked up the potion in the medicine bowl in front of him, walked to the flower pot by the window, and poured it all out with his backhand.

"Ah Yu, these medicines have calming ingredients, right?" Zhou Huan looked at Qi Yu quietly, "Don't use it in the future, the child in my womb can't grow up soaked in the potion, what I promised you (qíng), can I still not listen?" ”

She just stood quietly, her eyes calm like stagnant water, without any waves.

Qi Yu also looked at her, and after looking at her for a long time, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, go out with me." ”

On the way out of the palace, Zhou Huan looked at Qi Yu in front of him in wonder, "Who followed you before?" ”

"The front line is in urgent need of manpower and armaments, they have already passed first, there are still some things (qíng) that need to be solved here, you will accompany me to delay for two more days." Qi Yu walked in front, calmly staring at the defenders at the door not far away.

Zhou Huan nodded, "Does the emperor think there is a problem here, so he wants to investigate it properly?" ”

Qi Yu didn't answer her with this sentence, but Zhou Huan immediately understood.

This place is the first area not under the jurisdiction of the capital near the frontier after leaving the capital, and the name is Zhucheng. The local prosperity of Wu Zhuzhi is said to be a very important place of faith in the entire Han Zhao Kingdom, so this place has its very important side.

Although Han Zhaoguo is located in the depths of the mainland, there are two big rivers running through Zhucheng in Zhucheng, so since the establishment of Zhucheng, it has become another big city outside the capital.

If the capital is the center of all the power and wealth of Han Zhaoguo, then Zhucheng is the holy place of all believers in the entire Han Zhaoguo, and almost half of the people in the entire Han Zhaoguo believe in this theory, from high-ranking officials and magnates to ordinary people.

Because of this, the existence of Zhucheng has its inevitability (xìng) and objectivity (xìng), in other words, Zhucheng cannot have any problems.

"Is there something going on here?" Zhou Huan spoke almost subconsciously.

Faced with Zhou Huan's question, Qi Yu was only slightly puzzled, and then withdrew his searching gaze and spoke, "The secret report shows that the number of prisoners in Zhucheng Prison has increased significantly, while the people in the prison have disappeared quietly. ”

"How many are there?"

Zhou Huan asked in a deep voice, she had a bad premonition.

This matter can make Qi Yu so anxious, and he must stay in Zhucheng to solve it, I'm afraid......

"It's not clear, Chasing Wind has already gone to verify."

"Huh?" Zhou Huan opened her mouth in surprise, she stopped and looked at Qi Yu suspiciously.

Didn't Qi Yu always solve only the most important problems? If the matter of Zhucheng (qíng) is a trivial matter (qíng), can he still use it, and deliberately stop to waste time?

"Ahem, keep up, don't waste any more time."

Qi Yu, who was walking in front, was stunned, and then found out (shēn) after Zhou Huan's hesitation, so he had no choice but to pretend that no one was right and continued to walk forward.

Rather, he had to tell Zhou Huan that he was staying in Zhucheng for two more (rì) for her (shēn) body. By the way, let Chasing the Wind go out to see the people of Zhucheng (qíng), but I happened to encounter this slightly weirder thing (qíng)?

He felt that he couldn't say it, otherwise he would definitely have to do more (qíng) according to Zhou Huan's (xìng).

……

……

Soon, the two of them arrived at a luxurious-looking inn.

Xiao Er is also a person who is very good at reading faces, and he has seen a lot of guests who come and go, and at first glance, he can find out whether the person in front of him is a distinguished guest through the demeanor of the guest.

"Guest officer, there is a private room with a good view upstairs, please two of you?"

Seeing the handsome man in front of him who was dressed in expensive clothes, he nodded, and Xiao Er immediately respectfully turned to the front and began to lead the way for the two.

After taking a seat, Zhou Huan listened to Xiao Er's introduction to the food at the inn, and then randomly chose two dishes and ordered them.

"Guest officer, that's enough?" Xiao Er didn't seem to expect that these two were so unpicky.

Zhou Huan nodded, "I don't have a good appetite, so that's all." ”

He secretly looked at the person in front of him, the woman who spoke was fair-skinned, but there seemed to be a lot of sadness in her eyes, and her expression looked a little haggard. On the other hand, the man next to him pursed his thin lips, except for the nodding at the beginning, he didn't pay attention to him the whole time, and this person was not easy to mess with at first glance.

Just as Xiao Er was hesitating about whether to test it again, suddenly, he heard the cold man say, "Serve all the light dishes here." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Erle nodded.

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, I'll go and prepare for the guest officer." Xiao Er didn't understand the (rè) trouble in front of him, and said to Qi Yu before leaving: "This son is really good to Madame." ”

Zhou Huan opened his mouth, but did not explain.

She has never liked to eat light things, but this time Youxi is even more bent on eating something spicy, and eating light things is whether Qi Yu herself is good or not.

After a while, Xiao Er came up with the prepared food.

This is worthy of being the most famous restaurant in the local area, and every dish served by Xiao Er is full of color, flavor and flavor. Even Zhou Huan, a person who has no appetite, can't stop the confusion of food (yòu) at the moment.

After Zhou Huan tasted a few bites of these dishes, he expressed his praise to the shopkeeper.

Then Zhou Huan asked Xiao Er as if unintentionally: "I heard that Zhucheng has recently been strictly investigated by the government, and a lot of people have been arrested in prison?" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Huan felt that it was inappropriate, and added: "We are from other places, and we are afraid of accidentally doing something wrong (qíng), so we want to ask in advance." ”

Xiao Er, who heard this, was stunned, and then said to Zhou Huan: "Guest officer, what are you talking about, the security of Zhucheng is notoriously good." ”

"That's why I'm asking you more, so I'm prepared."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Huan took out a certain amount of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.

The little second hesitated for a moment, but said helplessly: "Guest officer, it's not that I lied to you, it's true that Zhucheng hasn't heard any wind and grass recently." ”

Afraid that Zhou Huan wouldn't believe it, the shopkeeper continued, "This city has been like this for decades ago, except for the pilgrims and others who come and go, the rest of the places are no different from other places. ”

"Besides, if there really was something (qíng), we would have gone back to the countryside a long time ago."

"Stand down."

Qi Yu, who had not spoken, suddenly opened his mouth.

Xiao Er nodded, then looked at the silver on the table, and said cautiously: "That...... This silver ......"

Zhou Huan nodded helplessly, "Let's go down with the silver, but the matter of today (rì) should not have happened." ”

"The little one understands, the little one understands." Xiao Er took the silver and left here in high spirits.

In the room, Qi Yu was bored looking at the pile of dishes on the table, he was silent for a moment and said to Zhou Huan on the side, "Hurry up and eat." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks and personally put a piece of tofu in Zhou Huan's bowl, and Zhou Huan looked at Qi Yu in surprise.

"How do you know I like tofu?"

Qi Yu was stunned, didn't he just ask Chasing the Wind more last night?

"You don't like to eat?"

This rhetorical question is very interesting, but the most layered meaning is probably that there are so many dishes on the table, and I just randomly sandwiched it for you.

If you don't want to eat it, forget it.

"I like it." Zhou Huan nodded, Qi Yu was able to take the initiative to pick up vegetables for her, which was already very remarkable.

I really don't know what she was looking forward to in her heart, did he take the initiative to understand his preferences?

However, having said that, Zhou Huan did not further pick up the contents of the bowl.

Because her favorite food in Ping (rì) is spicy, but now this white boiled tofu, she doesn't know what is delicious.

It's just to get close to Xiao Er (tào), so there's no need to embarrass yourself now.

Zhou Huan hesitated for a long time, but still put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"That Xiao Er looks like an honest man, maybe he has just arrived, so he can't ask anything from his mouth."

Qi Yu thought that Zhou Huan was angry because of the question he interrupted just now, so he rarely opened his mouth to explain two sentences.

finally eased the relationship with Zhou Huan, but he didn't want to let the atmosphere between the two freeze down again at this time.

"I know." Zhou Huan nodded, not connecting the two things.

"It's just that this incident happened in Zhucheng, and it stands to reason that this inn should be the place where the news gathers the most, but Xiao Er has never heard of it at all, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter."

Zhou Huan felt that this matter should be very serious, so he kept thinking about it in the most serious direction.

But Qi Yu obviously didn't think so, he was just an excuse to find at random. Now seeing Zhou Huan take it so seriously, I feel that there are two parties funny in my heart.

Thinking about it, the corners of Qi Yu's lips raised slightly, and Zhou Huan looked at Qi Yu in wonder and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”
