"You mean to say that my mother is still in Liaodong?" Lai Xing'er was a little suspicious again.

"Your mother learned the truth afterwards, perhaps because she disliked Wang Huan's ruthlessness and unrighteousness, and actually sold her wife to others as slaves, she quietly left Wang Huan about a month before Wang Huan's death, and her whereabouts are unknown. According to Wang Huan's speculation before her death, she was likely to return to Chang'an to find her son. Li Jinzhong finished the story in a gentle tone, observing Lai Xing'er's reaction.

If it weren't for the fact that he accidentally learned from Yu Chengen in Jingzhou that his mother was punished to serve as hard labor in Jiucheng Palace after his father's death, Lai Xing'er would probably believe this story from Li Jinzhong's mouth. Rao is like this, when he heard Li Jinzhong say that his mother escaped from her stephusband and was likely to return to Chang'an to find himself, he still couldn't help but feel a pounding heart.

"Thank you for telling your mother in time, if you don't have anything else to say, the little one will leave." Although Lai Xing'er hoped that what Li Jinzhong said was true and that he could get together with his mother in Chang'an as soon as possible, he still decided to follow Jing Xuan's advice and follow the clues told by Yu Chengen to personally investigate before drawing conclusions.

Li Jinzhong could see his distrust of himself from Lai Xing'er's calm reaction, but this was also expected by him. If a story alone can trick Lai Xing'er into believing in himself completely, then Lai Xing'er is worthless to him.

"There's nothing to thank, your mother still doesn't know exactly where she is. However, I will greet the people of the Gyeongzhao Yamen, and as soon as your mother returns to Gyeonggi, I will bring her to join you as soon as she returns. Li Jinzhong said quietly, "I heard that the girl who went back to Chang'an with you is the person next to the eldest princess of Changning?" ”

"Yes, she was sent from the palace to the Eldest Princess's Mansion not long ago. His name is Tang Guoer. Lai Xing'er didn't know exactly what had happened in the capital during the days he had been away from Chang'an. Honestly replied.

"Since it has just arrived at the Eldest Princess's Mansion. How did she end up with you? ”

At this time, Lai Xing'er suddenly remembered that Nayu's sister Nazhu married Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang was not the leader of the remnants of the Zhang family who was ordered by the imperial court? Thinking about it this way, even begging Jing Xuan to arrange a place for Nayu to go in the Baoxiang Palace seemed too Meng Lang.

Nayu is in danger! A flash of lightning flashed through Lai Xing'er's mind.

"Xiao Yuan doesn't know her either," Lai Xing'er's mind spun rapidly in shock, and replied half-truthfully, "When I was in the city, I accepted her to come and inform the eldest princess and the princess of their deaths. and escaped from the city with the small one, and rushed back to Chang'an all the way with him. ”

"That's all you know about her?" Li Jinzhong originally asked casually, but Xing'er answered vaguely when he heard it, and he began to pay attention a little.

"She was dressed as a sergeant in the city of Rak, and the younger one was dressed as a king, how could she notice her? Even her name and origin were only known on the way back to Chang'an. Lai Xing'er perfunctory Li Jinzhong while secretly estimating the time, only hoping that Jinping had seen Na Yu at this time and sent her safely to Jingyun Cong's mansion.

Li Jinzhong heard that Xing'er was right. didn't ask any questions, but suddenly threw the tea bowl in his hand on the table. snorted: "To be honest, how many of your comrades are still in the palace!" ”

Lai Xing'er was completely confused by his unreliable shouting, and asked with a glare: "What kind of party?" ”

"On the night of Xia Zhaoyi's assassination, why did you go to the Longshou Canal to worship the Zhang family? You entered the palace on an errand in Yanying Palace, who instructed you? Li Jinzhong didn't give him a chance to breathe, and threw out two questions in a row.

Unexpectedly, Lai Xing'er didn't think about it, and replied: "Going to the Longshou Canal to worship is under the order of General Wu; When I went to Yanying Hall on an errand, I was ordered by the emperor, and you know all these adults. ”

These two problems are where Li Jinzhong is not completely at ease with Lai Xing'er, so he deliberately asked another question while he was unprepared, and seeing that he answered crisply, there was no trace of deception, Li Jinzhong nodded with a smile, and said in a cordial tone: "Don't blame Uncle Shi for asking suddenly, everyone in the palace must inquire clearly, in order to ensure that the remnants of the Zhang family have been completely cleared in the palace." I intend to present the emperor and transfer you to Nannei as the deputy supervisor of Nannei, I don't know what you want? With that, he squinted his eyes and looked at Lai Xing'er.

Most of the concubines living in the south are the concubines of the previous dynasties, which are far less than those in the east and west. The Southern Internal Supervisor is just the most idle institution under the jurisdiction of the Inner Servant Province, and does not have any real power, but the rank of the Southern Internal Deputy Supervisor is the fifth grade, and it can be said that it is a high grade among all the eunuchs in the Inner Servant Province.

However, this is also another trap laid by Li Jinzhong in order to check Lai Xing'er's true intentions. If he finds an excuse and refuses to leave the Yanying Palace, he will naturally have a major suspicion of the remnants of the Zhang family; Even if he happily agreed to serve in Nannei, he would be regarded by Li Jinzhong as a busy person chasing fame and fortune and would be abandoned.

"Thank you for your support, I do have a small matter, and I want to ask the adults for help." Lai Xing'er's answer couldn't be heard whether he was willing or refused.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"If possible, can you suggest to the emperor that I be transferred to Jiucheng Palace on an errand?" Lai Xing'er replied earnestly.

Ninety Percent Palace! When Li Jinzhong heard these three words from Lai Xing'er's mouth, he suddenly realized how vain he wanted to use the whereabouts of Xing'er's biological mother to coerce and lure him for his own use. At the same time, he realized more than ever before that the clever and eccentric young man in front of him would never believe every word he said again.

Rao is like this, under the long-standing habit of not being surprised by the change and being invisible, Li Jinzhong only trembled his eyelids a few times, and still said in the tone of the elders teaching the younger generations: "Jiucheng Palace? It was a ruined palace that the emperor had never been to for more than 20 years, you were young, you didn't want to wait hard in front of the emperor, do you want to be transferred there to cultivate immortals? ”

Without waiting for Lai Xing'er to make any explanation, he said half-truthfully: "As far as the old man knows, the emperor has only promoted you to be the little envoy of the flying dragon, and you are still staying in Yanying Hall on an errand." The words of the right old man are just a joke, you don't have to take it seriously. From today on, you just have to wait for the emperor wholeheartedly, and in the future, the old man will arrange a future for you, even if the old man comes today, it is not much worse. How is it? ”

Lai Xing'er proposed to Li Jinzhong to be transferred to Jiucheng Palace, which was also out of a flash of inspiration in his mind, wanting to test Li Jinzhong's mouth, so as to find clues about his mother's whereabouts from his reaction. Unexpectedly, Li Jinzhong's answer was perfect, and he couldn't see any difference between Jiucheng Palace and any other palace in his mind. He had heard that Li Jinzhong's words implied the meaning of sending off guests, and he was worried about Nayu's safety, so he resigned and said goodbye, seeing Li Jinzhong smiling and no longer retaining, he turned around and walked out of the yamen of Zhongshu Province and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the palace.
