How long Lu Lan moved to the palace, Guo Shao had forgotten, anyway, he had never been there, and he summoned her when he met Lu Lan. But this time, Guo Shao heard that she had returned to the palace and took the initiative to meet her.

In fact, it is not far away, Lu Lan's residence is on the side of the Long Live Palace. The distance is not in the distance, but in whether he wants to go or not.

Outside the courtyard gate, Guo Shao saw the lush plants inside, he asked his entourage to stay, and walked in alone.

When Guo Shao walked into the hall, he saw Lu Lan, and her voice was a little anxious: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to come." This was the first thing Guo Shao heard her say today, he was used to hearing polite greetings, and he couldn't help but smile at this time.

Then he pointed to the white flowers dotted on the green potted shelves: "What kind of flower is this?" ”

"Rose." Lu Lan said that, then his face was abrupt, he hugged his hands on his side waist, and bent his knees slightly, "The concubine has seen Your Majesty, this is polite." ”

Guo Shao glanced at her, laughed, sat down in front of the table, and said, "It turned out to be a rose, I remember that it was not a red flower?" ”

Lu Lan said softly: "There are red and white. But I prefer the white rose, which is light red in the white, and it is not as fiery as the red flower, as if something is slowly germinating. ”

Guo Shao was thoughtful when he heard this, and when he turned his head to look at Lu Lan's face, he found that her eyes were a little flickering.

She looked a little petite, but she was healthy and fresh. If it is according to the modern awl face and narrow face aesthetics, Lu Lan is not beautiful, but Guo Shao has stayed in ancient times for a long time, and he has gradually adapted to the standard of the ancients who liked goose eggs and round faces. Under Lu Lan's green silk, the healthy and energetic plump skin is reminiscent of green mountains and green waters, without the slightest smell of wind and dust.

She should not be yet twenty years old, at least in Guo Shao's heart, this kind of little lady is very young. She doesn't have a lot of experience, she hasn't experienced much helpless reality, she doesn't have a tiredness in her bones, and she still has strong expectations and longing for all kinds of things. But gaps are usually found over time, as in the case of Li Yuan'er.

Guo Shao asked, "Is Lu Xiaoniang still used to it in the palace?" ”

Lu Lan smiled: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the best, people speak softly and politely, and everywhere is clean, which is good." ”

Guo Shao heard her describe the palace life like this, and the words still retained the spicy taste of the mountains, and couldn't help but feel very interesting, and he also smiled, and learned from her and said: "But there are many rules here, you are not allowed to do this or that, you can't run around, and you can't go out at will, it may be a little boring." ”

Lu Lan turned his head to look at those plants and said, "I don't feel bored now, those flowers and plants are also growing quietly, and I look at them very peacefully." ”

Guo Shao groaned: "Flowers and plants are indeed very good, I don't like things that are too impetuous and impatient." In fact, even the most beautiful flowers have times when no one appreciates them and can endure loneliness. ”

Lu Lan smiled: "Your Majesty's speech has always been so interesting. ”

Guo Shao said: "It still depends on who you say it to." ”

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "The courtyard where you lived, the former Guo Mansion, I want to give it to Lu Niangzi...... There is also a grange on the outskirts of Tokyo under the name of the Kwok Fu. ”

"Why?" Lu Lan was surprised.

Guo Shao said: "I want to repay you." ”

Lu Lan shook her head and said very simply, "I don't want to." ”

Guo Shao frowned and said, "Does Mrs. Lu think that this reward is too little?" "Compared to his wealthy status, a courtyard is indeed a little thinner.

"What I can't earn in ten lifetimes, how can it be too little?" Lu Lan's gaze stayed on Guo Shao's face, then lowered his head and said softly, "If you really want to reciprocate, you don't have to do this." ”

Guo Shao said: "What does Lu Niangzi want?" ”

Generally at this time, if it is a woman who comes from the dust, she may want to have money to spend and spend it casually. But if this is the case, it will not be much pressure for Guo Shao.

Lu Lan looked a little angry inexplicably, the corners of her mouth turned up, and her tone was not so gentle: "I don't lack food or clothing, I don't want anything!" ”

Guo Shao didn't say anything, but he was not stupid, then he said: "Then keep the account first, and then if you don't change your mind after a while, I will repay you." It's just that some things are hard to go back on. ”

Lu Lan didn't know if he was angry, or what, at this time, he looked up at Guo Shao directly, with an interested smile on his face.

She joked, "Okay, then Your Majesty owes me a favor." ”

Guo Shao nodded suddenly.

……

But I didn't expect this "favor" to be owed for too long.

Within two days, Guo Shao was still working in Jinxiang Palace, and he heard the eunuch Wang Zhongyu report that Lu Niangzi had something to ask for.

Guo Shao immediately put down the brush in his hand, got up and went to the Yangde Palace, sat down on the soft couch, and said, "Invite Lu Niangzi here to see me." ”

His attitude is very positive. Although he never said the words of Lu Niangzi's thanks, he knew in his heart how much Lu Niangzi helped him by saving Wang Pu and solving the miasma plague in Cao Bin's camp.

What's more, Lu Lan has taken care of him many times when he is sick, and he is very good to Guo Shao.

Whoever is good to me, I will be good to whomever I am...... Guo Shao has some ideas that have not changed due to the struggle and the change of power position.

At this time, Lu Lan walked in, and Guo Shao looked at her with a very anxious expression, which was very different from the quiet and indifferent when he saw her that day.

"Your Majesty......" Lu Lan stepped forward and called, even saving etiquette.

Guo Shao said: "Sit down first and talk slowly, don't worry, if you want me to do anything, I will help you do it." ”

Lu Lan hurriedly asked, "Really?" ”

Guo Shao said calmly: "I have a golden mouth, what I say counts." ”

There are still things in this world that the emperor can't do...... It's nothing more than birth, old age, sickness and death, which are helpless for mortals, but Lu Lan will not come to beg for this kind of thing.

Lu Lan was suddenly overjoyed, her eyes were full of tears, and she choked up: "I heard that my mother is at Xiao Siwen, the king of the Southern Courtyard of Liaoguo......"

Guo Shao: "......"

Lu Lan said: "Your Majesty help me get my mother back!" ”

Guo Shao was so stunned that he couldn't guarantee it...... Xiao Siwen didn't listen to the holy decree of the emperor of Zhou, even if he was the emperor, what could he do with him?

Sure enough, you can't talk too much! Guo Shao's tone was not as firm as just now, and he muttered: "I want to think about it......" He wanted to say that he would do his best, but he changed his words just a while, and it was not easy to speak.

Lu Lan said: "I haven't asked Your Majesty for anything, but this time is different, my mother is my only relative in this world." Your Majesty is the most powerful husband in the world, and he will definitely help me do this, and I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the future. ”

"I am definitely willing to help Mrs. Lu, you should also believe this." Guo Shao frowned and said, "It is reported that Xiao Siwen is not the king of the Southern Courtyard anymore, and now he is ...... in Shangjing."

He suddenly felt that this matter was very difficult, it was very difficult for a person of Xiao Siwen's level to send someone to abduct the concubine from his house; What's more, even if you successfully escape from Xiaofu and cross the border of Liao without being caught, I'm afraid it's unlikely, there is a grassland near Shangjing, and there is still a place to hide like the Central Plains.

Negotiating a deal? It's not easy to operate, and if you don't do it well, it's self-defeating...... There are fewer benefits, and people like Xiao Siwen can't look down on them; There are many benefits, a concubine can't afford it, Xiao Siwen may be suspicious, maybe he wants to use Lu Lan and her mother to blackmail Da Zhou, but let Lu Lan and her mother fall into danger.

Lu Lan's eagerly expectant voice said, "Your Majesty, is there a way?" ”

Guo Shao glanced at her and felt worried. But if it's something that can be done easily, how can you talk about rewarding her?

He had already promised before, and immediately said, "If there is a way, I will get Ling Tang back." ”

Lu Lan's mood today was very excited, and she burst into tears and laughed for a while, and said with tears in her eyes: "I thought my mother was no longer alive, but I didn't expect to see her again...... I knew nothing would be difficult for Your Majesty! ”

Guo Shao said helplessly: "But you can't be in a hurry, this matter may be a little troublesome." ”

"Hmm." Lu Lan looked at him blankly. She wiped a handful of tears, a very good, optimistic and a little pungent little lady, looking at herself with an aggrieved face, and for filial piety and family affection, Guo Shao couldn't wait to help her immediately.

Guo Shao said with relief: "Now that I know that her old man is still alive, even if we can't meet right away, it's a good thing, Lu Niangzi thought widely." She should at least not suffer much by now......"

Lu Lan couldn't help nodding, but said again: "The Khitan people are very bad, take pity on my mother." ”

Guo Shao said a few more good words, then stood up, Lu Lan saw this and thanked him a lot, and bent his knees and said: "Your Majesty has a big matter, and the concubine will not stay much." ”

Guo Shao glanced at Wang Zhong and asked the eunuch Wang Zhong to send Lu Lan away.

He paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, thinking: if it is rescued from Shangjing, it is very difficult, it is said that the Han and Khitan people in Shangjing do not live in the same place; In the past two years, it has not been easy to send a few eyeliners to Beijing, let alone contact Khitan nobles like Xiao Siwen.

If Xiao Siwen is in Youzhou, there is a little hope. At least Youzhou is not far from the Central Plains.

The Zhou army went on another northern expedition, and the Liao State sent Xiao Siwen to Youzhou? It is very likely that the ancients still liked to use experienced people, Xiao Siwen fought with the Zhou army many times, and was very familiar with the tactics of the Han army.

Lu Lan really gave Guo Shao a big problem. At present, it seems that we can only wait until the Northern Expedition to see if Xiao Siwen goes south. In Shangjing, even if you want to know where Xiao Siwen lives, it is difficult, Han'er can't enter Beicheng at all, and there is nowhere to start.

…… Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition, Guo Shao's mood gradually became heavy. He walked over to the map, pondering the familiar shapes on it.

Guo Shao personally understands that there are two families whose women were snatched away by the Khitans, and I don't know how many I don't know; And the threat will still exist in the future, I don't know how many people of Dazhou will be robbed and harmed!

Maybe you won't be able to beat it in the future, and you may be forced to send money to send a woman to call the Khitan father!

Guo Shao didn't come up in one breath, slapped his palm on the picture, and his face turned blue.
