Before the door was closed, Li Qing rode into Chang'an City, and Li Jingyan had already stopped in front of the palace gate in front of the carriage. Back to his room, Li Qing didn't say a word, turned his head and fell asleep, the curtain saw that he was only wearing short clothes, his whole body was damp, and his face was extremely ugly, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he quickly found a set of clean clothes for him to change, and served him to sleep, so he went to Xiaoyu to ask about the situation, but the two thought for a long time, but they were still confused, but then Li Jingyan suddenly appeared in the courtyard, she was shy and shy.

Xiaoyu had sharp eyes, saw her at a glance, and ran out with a smile, "What, do you want to come and cover my father-in-law again?" After nearly half a year of getting along, and Li Jingyan never put on the county lord's shelf, the two of them became the best friends.

"Nonsense! I.

Li Jingyan saw the curtain coming, she suddenly didn't have the courage to continue, her face was swollen and red, fortunately, it was dark night, and Xiaoyu didn't find it.

Li Jingyan secretly glanced into the room, saw that there was no movement, knew that he had slept, his heart was slightly lowered, and he said to the curtain: "Sister curtain, I have something to do with you." ”

"Come on! Go to the house and say. Curtain's heart was extremely sensitive, she seemed to sense something, so she smiled and took Li Jingyan's hand and went into the house, but Li Jingyan shook her head and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Sleep with you?" The curtain was a little stunned, thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "It's okay, we haven't talked for a long time." ”

"Sister Lian'er, I'll go too!"

Xiaoyu saw something famous. How can they go and say something considerate, but leave themselves aside?

Curtain glanced back at her, shook her head and said, "If you wake up in the night, who will serve, you have to stay at home." ”

I don't know where Xiaoyu thought, her face suddenly turned crimson, and she bit her lip tightly. Without saying a word, the curtain smiled ambiguously at her and followed Li Jingyan out of the hospital.

The full moon seemed to get smaller and farther away, and at some point, the night sky was already full of stars, and the branches of the trees were gently blowing in the wind. Bugs chirped in the corner, and the night was silent.

Darker moonlight and half a home,

The Beidou is dry and the South is oblique.

Tonight I know that the spring is warm,

The sound of insects is new through the green screen.

.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the curtain rushed back from Li Jingyan, she seemed to have not slept all night, and she looked a little tired, but her eyes looked at Li Qing who was still asleep gently, kissed him lightly on the face, and got into the quilt. Wrapping her arms around his waist from behind, her face pressed against his back and whispering. "You! It's really a stupid donkey, and the county lord doesn't want it to send it to the door. ”

Suddenly. There was a sound of the copper basin overturning outside the door, the sound was harsh, and immediately woke Li Qing up from his dream, he rubbed his eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Curtain, what is the sound?" ”

"It's the sound that wakes you up!"

There was a gambling sound of Xiaoyu outside, and then she was heard muttering while wiping the ground water: "I will go to work tomorrow." What if Sister Lian'er can't come with us? I don't want to ask for clarification, in case it doesn't work. There's still time to find a relationship. ”

"That's right!"

Li Qing suddenly thought of the paper scroll that Li Jingzhong gave him yesterday, and he wanted to meet himself too secretly, he sat up suddenly, but he felt a pain in his head, presumably because he was wearing wet clothes last night and galloping in the wind, and he was a little cold.

"Li Lang, do you want me to make you a bowl of ginger soup?"

Seeing that Li Qing's face was not good, Curtain Er quickly helped him sit up, and found a soft cushion to put behind him.

"Don't get in the way, I have something to do in the morning, I have to really get up."

Li Qing landed on the ground, only to feel that his feet were soft, and he didn't have any strength, but he was still waiting in Taibai Building, and he was found to have a private meeting with foreign ministers, but it was a big crime, Li Qingxin couldn't help complaining, let himself go to the East Palace, why bother outside, if Li Linfu's henchmen were seen, this was another East Palace case.

Complaining is complaining, Li Qing still fights hard to freshen up and eat, Xiaoyu is right, he will leave tomorrow, but the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households have not been delivered, how to go!

The time is the morning to eleven o'clock in the later generations, the ancients said "bell" during the day, and said "more" or "drum" at night, so there is also the saying of "morning bell and dusk drum", each square in Chang'an is placed with bells and drums, in order for the public to understand the time.

Li Qing did not ride a horse today, but took Lao Yu's carriage, Li Lin's mansion is in Anrenfang, close to Zhuque Street, and Taibai Lou is in Pingkangfang in the east city, it used to take a quarter of an hour, that is, half an hour in the future, Li Qing was closed in the car, last night's events seemed to be an endless dream, the dawn was dawn, but the dream could not wake up, thinking of his heart hurt, at this moment he forced himself not to think about Li Jingyan, but to return to reality, although he has ascended, but the undercurrent of the Huan Sea is turbulent, he has setbacks, but he has deep roots, and timely adjustment, How can it be so easy to deal with, the struggle will continue, and it will be even more tragic, I have already turned against him, and I can only be hard

"Master, the villain wants to discuss something with you."

It was Lao Yu who spoke, he was an old family member who had followed Li Qing since then, he was a widower, an old bachelor, and the affairs of the family had always been handled by the curtain, and Li Qing never asked, but rarely communicated with them.

"What's the matter? You say! ”

The carriage turned a corner and left Suzaku Street, there were obviously fewer people, Lao Yu stabilized the speed, and then said slowly: "Master, I want to marry Song Mei as my wife." ”

Song Mei is also the old servant sister-in-law with Li Qing, gave birth to three children and a widow, after following Li Qing, life is not worried, people have become white and plump, and after a few years together, the two also have feelings for each other.

"Huh! That's a good thing! But Madame decided that there was no need to ask me. ”

"But yesterday Mrs. said that this matter must be agreed by the master."

Li Qing couldn't help but be a little surprised, two days ago Zhang Wang married a wife, and he was also a maid in the house, and he didn't know at all, he was the landlord of the curtain, why didn't he come to ask himself at that time, but now he asked.

As soon as he thought about it, he immediately understood, although he didn't say it, she still had a deep sense of inferiority in her heart, and she didn't dare to treat herself as a wife, this time she didn't have her fate, and her husband didn't take this matter to heart, Curtain was naturally more careful, holding back the grievances in his heart, but he never dared to say it to himself, after thinking about this, Li Qingxin was distressed and ashamed, and immediately made up his mind that Curtain Er's fate, today is going to come to Tai no matter what.

"Madame has decided on this matter."

After a pause, Li Qing added: "In the future, the lady will have the final say in everything in the house, you are an old man, and you have to take the lead, you know?" ”

Lao Yu responded, shook the long whip, and the carriage sped up and galloped in the direction of Taibai Building.

The cold moon hall is on the fourth floor of the Taibai Liquor Building, which is the room where Yang Huahua was drunk last time, and it is the most marginal, although Tai Li Heng is micro service, but

It is extremely tight, the entire fourth floor has been wrapped, and even the guys can't go to the door before they are introduced through the back door, and the people they see are not the guards of the East Palace, but some unfamiliar faces, all of them are bright and powerful, and they are obviously strong in martial arts, it seems that there are still a lot of hidden strengths, this time in the East Palace case, Li Heng showed weakness, which made people a little contemptible, and now it seems that he is by no means such a simple person, otherwise he will not ascend the throne in the future, Li Qing couldn't help but secretly be vigilant, Tell yourself that you can't underestimate any officialdom at all times.

After a series of strict inspections, Li Qing finally entered the room, the room was very tidy, although it was a restaurant, there was no cup of wine and food, a cup of tea that had not yet been drunk was still steaming, Tai Li Heng stuck to the window like a paper silhouette, staring into the distance with his hands.

He was dressed in a very ordinary, cyan round-necked robe and a high black gauze hat, like a scholar who came to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination. ”

He turned around slowly, his face was as pale as usual, he looked at Li Qing expressionlessly, and said slowly for a long time: "I asked you to come here to speak, because I just found out that there is a pawn in my inner palace."

"I wonder what His Highness is looking for me?"

The two once had an unpleasant time, and now although they have reconciled, it is not true emotion, but interests drive the two to get together again. Therefore, the atmosphere was still a little embarrassing, in order to ease the atmosphere, Li Qing smiled and said: "My subordinates wanted to come to the East Palace yesterday afternoon to knock on Mrs. Xie, but they were temporarily arrested by Mrs. Cui Qiao and went on a blind date, but I heard that Li Xiangguo is also quite interested in marrying the daughter of the Cui family as his daughter-in-law." ”

The first half of the words made Li Heng have a knowing smile on his face, but the second half of the words made Li Heng forget to express his support for Mrs. Cui's decision, Li Linfu wanted to pull the Cui family, and Li Heng was secretly shocked in his heart. Over the years, although the Cui family has not expressed support for this side, if Li Linfu really succeeds, I am afraid that the Cui family will change its face. No, Wei Jian has to come forward in this matter, and his son is also married to the daughter of the Cui family.

Thinking of this, Li Heng's face softened, he had already gotten the news from Gao Lishi, it turned out that Li Qing had intervened in Du Youlin's case early in the morning, but he had been hiding it from himself, but seeing that he had saved the case in the end, Li Heng decided not to pursue the matter, but he must take precautions in the future. Otherwise, he will not be able to control him in the future.

He smiled gently: "It's actually not a big deal for me to come to you, you are still young." There are not enough connections, and there must be no good talents under him. I'll recommend one to you! Do chores for you, handle cases, and so on. ”

Li Qing's heart 'chuckled', doing chores and handling cases, of course he knew what this meant, hum! Just now he said that he was spying on him by the emperor, but he turned his hands to deal with his subordinates, and he did what he didn't want to do to others, Li Qing couldn't help but secretly despise this person. He sneered in his heart, but remained silent. Hurriedly got up and thanked happily: "Your Highness has considered the minister thoroughly, and the minister is grateful, but the minister still has a private matter that he wants His Highness to fulfill." ”

Seeing Li Qing's generous agreement, and hearing that he had a private matter, Li Hengdi's smile became brighter, and he smiled: "Say it!" I also don't care much about my subordinates, and it's time to change it. ”

"The minister's wife is still white, according to the Tang Dynasty regulations, she should have a decree, but the minister is pressed for time and has no time to do this, so I want to ask His Royal Highness to fulfill it."

Li Heng secretly praised Gao Lishi for his cleverness and kept this favor to himself, even if Li Qing didn't say this, he would speak, Li Heng smiled slightly and said: "I have already done it for you, but I can't be in a hurry, do you know why?" ”

"My subordinates don't know."

Li Heng walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and suddenly turned around and smiled: "If you seal your wife's decree now, she will have to stay in Beijing, on the contrary, if you don't seal your decree now, she will not be counted as your wife in the official archives, and she can go with you, do you understand?" ”

In fact, the invitation to seal the curtain was already submitted by the Ministry of Rites, but it was secretly withheld by Gao Lishi, he knew that Li Heng was not kind when Li Qing got married, so he left this favor to Li Heng to win Li Qing's heart.

Li Qing suddenly realized, this is indeed something he didn't expect, too much to pull a dozen is a bit of a means, first give favors, and then pretend to be a flail, but he faintly felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't think of what was wrong.

After pausing for a while, Li Heng said lightly: "Do you know that Xian Yu Zhongtong has entered Beijing yesterday. ”

Li Qing was silent, Curtain was his righteous daughter, but he didn't come to visit, his prejudice against himself can be imagined, thinking that he was responsible for Xian Yu Fuli's death, Li Qingxin couldn't help but feel guilty, after all, Xian Yu Zhongtong was kind to him.

Li Heng seemed to know his thoughts, glanced at him and said: "That incident hit him hard, he didn't want to see you, I have ordered him to return to Shu." ”

Speaking of this, Li Heng also sighed: "In exchange for Cui Guangyuan to overcome this difficulty, the marriage of Cui and Li seems to be unstoppable. ”

The atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, both of them were silent, Li Heng looked at the sky, and said indifferently: "I shouldn't stay for a long time, I have to go, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

"Your Highness also take care!"

Li Heng nodded, walked to the door and remembered something again, turned back to Li Qing and smiled: "You can go home and pack your things, I have already sent someone to handle the handover procedures of various departments for you, and you only need to sign it then." ”

.

Li Qing and Tai's secret is only in a few moments, and it ends in three or two sentences, but Li Qing understands that this secret is a sign, marking that he has officially put on the robe of the Tai Party, although Tai still doesn't trust him, but they are using each other, so why should he care.

Just thinking about it, the carriage returned to Li Lin's mansion, and it was about to leave tomorrow, he still had a lot of things to do, the business side had to be arranged, and he had to go to Xie En again, although Li Longji may not see him, but the posture must be posed.

Before the gate of the mansion, Li Qing saw more than a dozen guards standing at the entrance of the mansion through the window, surrounded by a eunuch dressed in yellow, the porter was explaining something to them, suddenly saw Li Qing's carriage, and quickly pointed to this side, the eunuch turned around, and strode towards this side.

'Is it because you have come to seal the curtain and make a fate?' No, the eunuch didn't have an edict in his hand. ’

With this in mind, the doubts and puzzles that arose in my heart when I talked to Li Heng just now suddenly came to my senses, and I said that I could take the curtain away if I didn't seal the order for the time being, but what about Li Longji? Couldn't he have thought of it? With the shrewdness of Li Long's base, he would never have imagined that there were only two possibilities, perhaps there was no need for hostages to stay in Beijing at all, or there might be something else hidden.

Thinking about it, seeing that the eunuch had already come over, Li Qing hurriedly got out of the carriage, and the eunuch looked Li Qing up and down, raised his head, and asked with his eyes facing the sky: "Are you Li Qing, the assassin of Shazhou?" ”
