Liu An, the king of Huainan, didn't sleep all night, and the entire palace was not peaceful all night, and Chang'an City was also disturbed all night.

When the rain stopped again, the morning light in the east was faintly bright, and a few backyard maids who stumbled and ran to report the news, with great joy, told their prince that the county lord had returned, and the king of Huainan was pleasantly surprised and put down the sword in his hand.

After waiting all night and no news, Liu An had already gathered all the remaining people in the mansion, preparing to kill the Changle Hou Mansion, search all the corners and corners, and find Liu Shu and Yuan Zhao. The person sent before said that Yuan Zhao did not return home, but after searching all over Chang'an, he didn't find any traces, so it was difficult for him to fly with Shu'er!

finally came back, and King Huainan put a heart back in his stomach. After asking a few words, he learned that Liu Shu was safe and sound, and immediately ordered Wei Tuo to pass the order and ask Liu Jian to withdraw everyone. I still don't feel at ease, I came to the back embroidery building in person, and saw that my daughter who had changed into a dress was not injured, but because of the rain, her snort was a little heavy, but her spirit was fine, and her face was not less bright.

In addition to being relieved, I caught a glimpse of a black blue on her wrist like Yuhao, which must have been injured when she was held hostage by that kid from Yuan Zhao, and couldn't help but curse a few words angrily, comforting her that she must go to find that guy's bad luck and vent her anger for her.

But seeing a trace of unknown shyness flashing through the corners of Liu Shu's eyebrows, he persuaded his father not to be angry, this time it was originally a misunderstanding, and he blamed his brother for not being good and causing these troubles for no reason. If this affects the overall situation of the current Huainan and the imperial court, it will be a big loss because of a small loss. As long as the dead and wounded guards in the mansion are well cared for, it is not appropriate to make a big noise about last night's events.

The king of Huainan smiled, his daughter's mind is not inferior to that of a man, and she has always had a strong sense of the overall situation, but she has always understood her own thoughts. Seeing that she looked a little tired, and was afraid that she would get sick in the rain, he hurriedly instructed the maid to wait and rest and not to think about it, and then went downstairs.

After sending his father away, the smile on Liu Shu's face disappeared, his whole body relaxed, and all the maids around him were sent out, feeling that he had no strength to support him, he lay down in the soft couch, covered his head with a quilt, and the experience of last night came up, only to feel that his cheeks were feverish, his whole body was hot, unforgettable, and suddenly like ......a dream!

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! After all, the king of Huainan still came to the door. Because, Liu Shujun is sick, very sick, and it has been five days. After more than a dozen famous doctors were invited, the final consultation conclusion was that the wind and cold were too deep into the body, and if the medicine was ineffective for two more days, there would be no doctor for the medicine, and the life would be on the horizon!

Yuan Zhao took a weak heart, with a smile on his face, and received the imposing Huainan prince. He bullied other people's daughters, although there is a reason for it, but this is a matter of fault after all, he has been thinking about it for the past few days, and he has not come up with the best way, and he doesn't know how to deal with the aftermath is the most appropriate.

This meeting was different from the last time, and King Huainan put away his kind and polite expression, his face was dull, and his words were cold.

“…… It was you who made Shu'er get drenched in the rain and suffered such a heavy wind and cold, and you are the culprit! I don't care what kind of Hou Ye or Shang Shuling you are, if you don't give me an explanation today, come and come, go to Weiyang Palace to find today's reasoning! ”

Liu An did not mention the cause of the incident, and deliberately forgot that it was his son's misdeeds that caused it. directly pushed the cause of Liu Shu's illness to Yuan Zhao, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, pulling Yuan Zhao's sleeve, and going to be the king of the palace.

Hearing that it wasn't because of that incident that Xingshi came to ask for the guilt, Yuan Zhao secretly let out a sigh of relief, and said, he hasn't thought about what to do yet!

"Slow down, don't worry. She...... Eh, what is the situation of the county lord's illness, can the prince explain it in detail? I've got a little bit of a trick to use it, so maybe it can be of some use. Hehe. ”

Hearing Yuan Zhao say this, King Huainan's heart was relieved, he stopped, and let go of his hand. In fact, this is exactly the purpose of his visit this time, but his face is not moving, and he still looks at Yuan Zhao coldly.

Lord Liu Shu's illness is indeed very serious, since that night, he has begun to have a high fever that does not go away, and he gradually can't eat and drink, which makes Liu An's hair gray a lot overnight. Liu Jian, the initiator, has been beaten and scolded by him I don't know how many times. The famous doctors in Chang'an City were also invited, but everyone was helpless, and they all shook their heads and sighed, saying that the county lord was seriously ill and was afraid that he would not be able to return to heaven.

Just when he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, the mastermind Wu was reminded in his ear.

"I heard that Changle Hou Yuanzhao has unparalleled medical skills, and he used a wonderful method to restore the eyes of the Empress Dowager Dou, which can be described as a god! Why didn't the prince invite him to show the county lord? ”

A sentence reminds the dreamer that Liu An had heard about this matter when he was in Huainan, and he also sent someone to understand it in detail at that time, and he was amazed that there was such a medical skill in the world for a long time.

"However, if something like that happened to him just now in the Huainan Palace, if you ask him to come for healing, I'm afraid this person won't agree, right? Alas! It's all your fault, you rebel! ”

King Huainan glared at Liu Jian who was standing cautiously on the side again, he knew today, why bother in the first place! This prince has been covered with injuries recently, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of beating and scolding, and he knows that he is only at a loss, and he doesn't dare to say a word.

"At this point, the prince doesn't have to worry. According to my observation, the little marquis is also a lover, although there was such a misunderstanding before, but as long as the prince sincerely asks for such a thing as saving people's lives, he will definitely agree. When the prince went, he could ...... like this. ”

After listening to the words of his mastermind, Liu An used a little trick, skimmed over the previous incident without mentioning it, and came up directly to ask the teacher for the crime, and it really worked. Seeing that Yuan Zhao agreed to go for treatment, he snorted coldly, and surrounded by the guards, he beat his horse back to the house.

Yuan Zhao did not delay, cleaned up a little, and said to everyone in the Hou Mansion that there was no need to worry, and then followed.

Although the housekeeper Yuan Yi, Cui Hong, and the Leng family sisters felt that the little marquis was a little strange these days, they didn't think about it elsewhere. It's just that he has recently become a new official of the imperial court and is busy with affairs.

At the beginning of the shower, the late autumn was slightly cold, and along the way, I saw that the water on the roadside caused by heavy rain for several days was very deep. Some people who live in low-lying areas have a lot of water in their homes, and they are taking advantage of this gap to step up drainage and flood prevention.

The new Lord Chang'an Ling, who led all the people in the government out early in the morning, diligently inspected several disaster sites, and from time to time personally helped the people lift heavy household debris, but he could be called a good official.

While he was busy, he saw a horse turning out of the corner of the street from a distance, and was walking this way, his eyes lit up, he stood up, with a smile on his face, and bowed his hand early.

"Little Marquis, I haven't seen you for many days, are you going to go out of the city and go back to Changle Plateau so early? Hehe! ”

Yuan Zhao hurriedly threw the stirrup off the saddle, jumped off the horse, grabbed his arm, and said with respect: "Yao Gong, hard work!" Although the people's feelings are important, they should also pay attention to their own bodies. We must remember that with a good body, we can do more for the country and the people. ”

It turned out that the newly appointed Chang'an Ling was Yao Shang, who had served in the government. Yao Shang is forty-six years old this year, which can be described as a late bloomer. He and Yuan Zhao are old acquaintances, and the age difference between the two is more than thirty years. It is said that it is somewhat inappropriate for a teenager to say such comforting words to the face of an elder, but Yao Shang's ears are different.

Chang'an Ling, the supreme governor of the imperial capital, seems to be a position with infinite scenery, but it is also the most difficult position, and officials who have been in this official position will understand the hardships.

After Ji Di stepped down, he was replaced by someone recommended by Prime Minister Tian Jue. However, that unlucky guy gave Wu'anhou 2,000 taels of gold for nothing, and before the bench was hot, he encountered the "Xuanwu Street Incident", and became a pitiful victim in the struggle between Changle Hou Yuanzhao and the Xungui Group.

Then, under the recommendation of Yuan Zhao, the emperor waved his pen, and three months ago, Yao Shang jumped from an ordinary official to the official Yazheng Hall of Chang'an Mansion.

This incident has also caused a heated discussion, as a model of the imperial court's eclectic use of talents, it has established great confidence for many ordinary low-level officials. And Yao Shang also lived up to expectations, with his familiarity with all aspects of Chang'an City for many years, in just a few months, he improved many shortcomings and established a good official reputation among the people.

Ji Di is governed by "strictness", Yao Shang is governed by "benevolence", and the two have inherited each other, and they have governed Chang'an in an orderly manner. The history is called "Ji and Yao Ergong, both of whom are capable officials." ”

Yuan Zhao has always been respectful to these officials who really serve the people, and the words of concern he said were not a little perfunctory, out of sincerity, Yao Shang knew it.

The two of them said a few words on the side of the road, the waterlogging in Chang'an City is still like this, and the seriousness of the rest of the places can be imagined. If the rain continues, a catastrophe will occur, and the situation will be very serious.

After the separation, Yuan Zhao pondered all the way, a few days ago, many counties and counties had reported the disaster, and there were many breaches of major rivers. The emperor has sent more than a dozen patrol envoys to the world to understand the real situation of the disaster, so that the imperial court can respond.

Due to the backwardness of the means of communication, it must have been difficult to travel, and there was still no news to be sent back anywhere. It seems that the tide of victims after the autumn is unavoidable, and it is necessary to remind the emperor that it is time to start preparing early, so as to avoid the situation of unrest among the displaced people.

The horse's hooves stopped, and when Yuan Zhao looked up, the Huainan Palace's mansion had already arrived. Outside the gate of the mansion, leading people to wait for him was the cloth gentleman Wu quilt. Originally, this was the errand of Liu Jian, the prince of the world, but Wang Shizi, whose face was full of injuries, would not see Yuan Zhao with this respectful face when he was killed.

Greet each other briefly, no more gossip, everyone in the house knew that the prince was already in a hurry, and hurriedly led Yuan Zhao directly to the backyard county lord embroidery downstairs, and his own personal maid led him up.

Yuan Zhao came in and didn't look at King Huainan who was sitting on the side with a cold face. The boudoir is splendid, and the dark fragrance strikes people, but it is the familiar atmosphere of Yiren, thinking of that night, his heart flutters. When I looked up, the breeze blew the blue gauze tent, and the woman who had already been close to her skin had beautiful eyes and a haggard face. I couldn't help but sigh slightly and .......
