"Lord Qi, isn't there still the whereabouts of the emperor?" Lu Lan sat on the high platform of the Chengyuan Hall and asked in a raised voice.

Qi Lie stepped forward, bowed down and replied: "Niangniang, the person sent by the minister has never replied, so I don't know where the emperor is. ”

"It's been half a month, you want to see people alive and dead to see corpses, and now you haven't even found the emperor's shadow, the mourning family really doesn't know what else to expect from you!"

Seeing that Lu Lan was angry, Qi Lie said again: "Don't be angry, it's not bad if you don't find it now, it means that the emperor may be safe and sound, and the minister thinks that if the emperor is safe, he will definitely return." ”

"You figured it out."

Lu Lan said coldly, wait for Yan Qinghan to come back, wait for him to come back and regain the imperial power, let himself step down, Lu Lan said with a smile in his heart.

"Okay, step down, I'll give you two more days, if there is no news from the emperor, according to the mourning family, you don't have to do it anymore!"

"Remember the words and teachings of the mother."

Two days, this is a joke, he has not found out the whereabouts of the emperor for so many days, how can it be possible in two days now, Lu Lan is clearly going to clean up all the people who have anything to do with Yan Qinghan, if he resigns, presumably his son will inevitably be like this, for Qi Lie, this official position is not important, he just hopes that Lu Lan will not hurt his relatives.

In the past few days, Lu Lan has found that Xia Jueyi has given birth to a lot, and he no longer obstructs his decision, Lu Lan doesn't know what medicine he sells in his gourd, maybe Lu Huayao said something to him, after all, her sister is a soft-eared and soft-hearted person, she must not want Xia Jueyi to have an accident, she knows what is the best choice than to go against her.

"If you have something to do, if you have nothing to do, you will retire today." Seeing that no one had anything to do anymore, Lu Lan said slowly.

"Niangniang, the minister has something to do." When Lu Lan heard the sound, she felt that Xia Jueyi was alive, and now he opened his mouth again.

Lu Lan frowned, and asked in an unpleasant tone, "Prime Minister, what's the matter?" ”

"Two days ago, the minister heard that Niangniang secretly changed the two institutions of Shaofu and Tingwei, why didn't she discuss this matter with the ministers?"

"What does the mourning family want to decide, do they still have to discuss it with you in advance?" Lu Lan underestimated this Xia Jueyi, and he knew very well what he was doing.

"That's natural, Niangniang has been in the harem for a long time, and she is not familiar with the rules and regulations of the previous dynasty, even if the emperor wants to make any decisions, he will only go down after consulting with the ministers."

Xia Jueyi said, and looked around at the other ministers, and all the ministers bowed down and responded: "Niangniang, what the prime minister said is very true." ”

In the past, naturally no one dared to echo it, but today they only knew about it after hearing Prime Minister Xia mention it, Lu Lan's actions were indeed a bit excessive, even if she is in power now, but the emperor has not yet known whether she is alive or dead, how can she change the official position in the palace without permission.

Lu Lan saw that everyone was united to refute herself, and she felt a burst of anger in her heart, but she couldn't express it on the table.

"The mourning family has done it now, what do you still want the mourning family to do?" Lu Lan wanted to see how much more capable they could have.

"Nature is to revert to the way it was. Xia Jueyi said softly.

"The mourning family's edict has been issued, now let the mourning family take it back, how can you save the mourning family's face?"

"After all, this is a decision made by the Queen Mother, of course it is up to you to take it back, not to mention that we have no right to transfer."

"Okay, Prime Minister Xia, you have already written down what you did today, just remind the prime minister, don't wait for the water to run out of feet, and then you will know that your shoes are wet."

Xia Jueyi's move undoubtedly made Lu Lan completely lose patience with him, since he likes to go against her so much, then don't blame her for ignoring her past feelings.

However, because of Xia Jueyi, Lu Lan's hand that was originally stretched out to wealth and law had to be withdrawn.

After retreating from the court, the ministers who were still standing on the same line as Xia Jueyi before all hid away at this time, avoiding Xia Jueyi and leaving, Xia Jueyi only felt funny when he saw them avoiding himself like a plague, so he just walked alone, and as soon as he stepped down the steps, Qi Lie appeared in front of him.

"Lord Qi?" Xia Jueyi said.

"Why is the Prime Minister so stubborn and wants to oppose the Queen Mother?" Although Qi Lie didn't say anything just now, he had been secretly observing Xia Jueyi's every move, and he really couldn't figure out why Xia Jueyi was so displeased with the Lu family.

"Oppose? Does Lord Qi think what the Queen Mother did was right? Xia Jueyi suddenly asked.

"That's not right, but we all know who Empress Lu is, and her ambitions have long been swaggered in the city, isn't this also known to everyone." Qi Lie replied.

"I said, no one can retreat from the national disaster, and now the emperor's life and death are uncertain, this dynasty naturally can't let a woman mess up, I, as the prime minister of the dynasty, naturally have to supervise the queen mother's every move, and then before the emperor returns, I can guard this dynasty for as long as I can."

Hearing Xia Jueyi's words, Qi Lie suddenly felt ashamed, thinking of what he did many days ago, but it was extremely superficial.

"The Prime Minister's words made Qi Lie teachable, and it is a blessing for the dynasty that the adults can have such fearless actions."

"Master Qi has said it, I'm just not used to it."

Xia Jueyi smiled lightly, and then stepped down the white stone stairs and walked away.

......

In the light of Xiaozhong, Yan Qinghan has been coming back with Mu Sheng for two days, although he is now in the territory of the Wan Dynasty, he still does not know the situation in the city of the Wan Dynasty, let alone what the scene is in the palace, and he can't help but be a little worried.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about things in the palace? Mu Sheng had just returned from the teaching ground, and he saw Yan Qinghan sitting in the courtyard with a frown.

"Well, I don't know what happened to Qi Guang and Ling Zhou." Yan Qinghan's tone was slightly heavy.

"I have a plan, you might as well try." Mu Sheng said.

"What's the plan?" Yan Qinghan looked at Mu Sheng, his eyes flashing with expectation.

"Write what you want to ask, write a letter, and give it to me, and I will go to Wanchao City and secretly hand it over to them."

Hearing that Mu Sheng's method was to let himself take risks, Yan Qinghan immediately refused. Moxue Literature Network

"Oh, you don't have to worry, I have a way, I definitely won't be discovered, trust me." Mu Sheng patted his chest, full of confidence.

But Yan Qinghan still looked at him uneasily, "Okay, don't be like a girl, go write it, I'll wait for you here." ”

Mu Sheng dragged him up and pushed him into the room, while she stood guard in front of the door.

Not long after, Yan Qinghan's two written letters opened the door.

"Written?" Mu Sheng turned around and asked.

"It's written, you have to be careful." Yan Qinghan handed the letter to Mu Sheng and told again.

"Got it." Mu Sheng received the letter in his arms, and then walked towards the Qingxiao Gate.

Not far from Qingxiao, Mu Sheng used a face-changing pill, that's right, the method she was referring to was to change her face, so that no one could find out.

Coming to the city of Wan Dynasty, Mu Sheng found that there were more guards in Wan Dynasty than before, and it seemed that Lu Lan had put a lot of thought into finding Yan Qinghan.

"Anyone who enters the city must be checked, why did you enter the city with a sword?" The guard guarding the city asked.

"Of course, those who walk the rivers and lakes have to take it with them." Mu Sheng looked at her coldly and said lightly.

"What are you doing in the city?" The guard asked again.

"Buying something." Mu Sheng said coldly.

This is because he was unhappy to see Mu Sheng's cold words, saying that he stretched out his hand to Mu Sheng and wanted to search her body, but his hand still touched Mu Sheng, and Mu Sheng raised the running water to block his hand.

"What for?"

"Search, I suspect that you have bad intentions, and you won't take it down for me!" The guard was even more upset when he saw Mu Sheng holding a sword to stop her.

Mu Sheng immediately turned around, took two steps back, shook the waist card that Yan Qinghan gave her before her waist, and said sharply: "I'm from the palace, I don't want to make a noise, you are also bold, but you can't get along with me!" ”

When the guards guarding the city saw the waist card, they immediately said respectfully: "It's the little one who has no eyes and no beads, and he didn't see the adult clearly, and he asked the adult to forgive his sins." ”

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances." Mu Sheng snorted coldly, and then calmly entered Wanchao City.

Fortunately, I was witty, otherwise I would have been in trouble just now.

When she entered the city, she searched for the address that Yan Qinghan told her.

She came to Qi Mansion first, but before she got close to Qi Mansion, she found that there were many secret guards hidden around Qi Mansion, and she didn't need to guess that she knew that it must be Lu Lan's people.

Looking at this situation, it seemed that he couldn't get in, so Mu Sheng turned back, changed directions, and went to Jiangfu.

When I arrived at Jiangfu, there was really nothing abnormal here, and I thought about it, Jiang Lingzhou had always been a cynical young master and son to outsiders, if she hadn't started again, she wouldn't have known that this guy was hiding so deeply.

Presumably, this Lu Lan has never taken him seriously.

Mu Sheng went around to the wall of Jiangfu, jumped up, climbed over the wall, and entered Jiangfu.

The specifications of this Jiang Mansion also really surprised Mu Sheng, it is worthy of being the mansion of the first merchant of the Wan Dynasty, the huge degree can be imagined, and the attendants who come and go are also incomparable among ordinary small families.

Although she entered the Jiang Mansion, Mu Sheng didn't know where Jiang Lingzhou's room was, and with so many attendants and maidservants, she was really not good at hiding.

Mu Sheng silently circled behind a long pillar, and she had to think of a way.

Just when a servant girl walked by, Mu Sheng covered her mouth and nose from behind, knocked her unconscious with a palm, dragged her to a no-man's hole, changed into the maid's clothes, and walked out openly.

But with running water in her hand, she could only hide it in a hidden place for the time being, and then look for it after the letter was delivered.

Mu Sheng walked through the verandah with her head down, and just happened to meet a few maids, and she went straight over.

"Where did the girl come from, she was messing around." The leading maidservant rebuked.

Mu Sheng raised his head, only to hear the maid say again: "I haven't seen you before, new here?" ”

"I was just sent by my wife to serve the young master, but I don't know the young master's room, so I am so reckless."

Mu Sheng said at the right time.

"The young master's room is in the annex, pass through this from here, and ....."

The maid said a bunch of things, if it weren't for Mu Sheng's good memory, it is estimated that she would have listened to the back and the front, and knew Jiang Lingzhou's room, Mu Sheng thanked her and went straight away.

Came to Jiang Lingzhou's room, the door was wide open, but the room was empty, Mu Sheng stepped in cautiously, she looked around the furnishings in the room, shook her head again and again and sighed, this arrangement really can't see that Jiang Lingzhou lives, elegant and quiet, where is a little similar to him, Mu Sheng didn't stay long, put the two letters on Jiang Lingzhou's wooden case, and was about to leave, to hear a sound outside the door.

She hesitated left and right, saw the window next to the bed, jumped out of the window, and quickly left.

When Jiang Lingzhou entered the house, he saw two letters on the wooden case.

One letter reads 'Qi Guang personally in' and the other says 'Jiang Lingzhou personally in'

Holding the letter, Jiang Lingzhou glanced around, but found no trace of anyone, and he wondered in his heart who would have sent this letter.
