"Oops." Yun Niang clapped her hands and said, "You little brother complained about me." Isn't it all for your son-in-law? Your son-in-law is not afraid of the ancestral family, but we are just powerless businessmen, how did we fight against the Prime Minister? If I don't let Hanyan escape, then I will be ruined by Zu Tianyi immediately? ”

He Ziming waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay." Don't say it's useless, tell me where Miss Liu has gone? ”

"Ahh Yun Niang covered her mouth, and then remembered that she was only concerned about letting Liu Hanyan leave for refuge quickly, and she didn't say where she was going to flee at all, so she had to say with a bitter face, "Look at me so confused, I forgot to ask." ”

"You!" He Ziming was so angry that he took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know which direction Miss Liu is going?" ”

Yun Niang said embarrassedly: "I don't know about this." However, Hanyan went out through the back door, and there was only one road through the back door, one end leading to the city and the other end to the outside of the city. ”

"How long have you been gone?" He Ziming then asked.

Yun Niang curled her fingers and said, "It's been nearly two hours, right?" ”

He Ziming didn't speak again, turned around and walked out of the door, jumped on the horse, and whipped away. The two women couldn't go far for more than an hour, not to mention that it was raining in the middle, so he had to chase after them immediately. Otherwise, he didn't know how to go back and talk back to Li Guanqi. He already regards Li Guanqi as his backbone, Li Guanqi really likes Liu Hanyan, he doesn't care about etiquette, he only knows that he wants to bring the woman the emperor likes to the emperor.

Li Guanqi, who was full of joy, waited for the dejected He Ziming to come back.

He Ziming knelt down as soon as he saw Li Guanqi, kowtowed and said, "The minister is incompetent, the minister is guilty!" ”

Li Guanqi felt a chill in his heart, knowing that something must have happened to Liu Hanyan, but he was not a weak person, and the frightening court life after crossing over also further honed his mind. So although he was very anxious in his heart, he didn't show a penny on his face, but pulled He Ziming up and said calmly: "Don't rush to confess first, slowly explain what happened." ”

He Ziming recounted what he had heard from Yun Niang with a ashamed face, and said: "After hearing this, the minister did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately chased after him, but he chased straight out for twenty miles, and he did not see a figure. The minister didn't give up, and returned all the way, and asked everyone he met, but no one had seen Miss Liu's master and servant. It seems that as soon as the two of them came out of Meixianglou, they disappeared out of thin air. ”

Li Guanqi listened to He Ziming's report, and did not speak immediately, but quietly walked back to the dragon book case, picked up a piece of ink leaning against the inkstone, and gently sharpened it.

After a while, Li Guanqi said slowly: "The national color and fragrance with smoke are fragrant, and it is impossible not to attract the attention of others when walking on the road. But if you visit all the way, no one has seen her master and servant, but people don't disappear out of thin air, so there is only one explanation. ”

"What is it?" He Ziming asked eagerly.

Li Guanqi put down the ink in his hand, breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "As soon as the two of them went out, they were caught in a carriage or a sedan chair. Yun Niang could think of letting Hanyan escape through the back door, how could Zu Tianyi and the others not think of arranging for the Venerable Master at the back door in advance? ”

"It's easy to know where to go." He Ziming gritted his teeth and said, "The minister will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for someone." ”

Li Guanqi stopped He Ziming and said, "Someone? Why do you want someone? ”

"Just because Miss Liu is the emperor's confidante, I don't dare not hand them over obediently." He Ziming said eloquently.

Li Guanqi shook his head and said: "Don't forget, I am the emperor, Hanyan is a courtesan, whether it is the court law or the code of ethics, the two of us are not allowed to be together." If you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and talk about my relationship with Hanyan, I am afraid that Zu Donglai will arrest you for blasphemy! ”

"So what to do? Is it just to let Miss Liu be humiliated by Zu Tianyi, that scoundrel? He Ziming said anxiously.

Li Guanqi looked at the rain curtain outside and said: "Of course people want to go, but you can't just go, I have to go in person." ”

"The emperor is a daughter, how can he be in danger rashly? Never. Although He Ziming was in a hurry, he heard that Li Guanqi was going to Zudong to come to the mansion in person, and immediately objected.

Li Guanqi said calmly: "The most dangerous place is often the safest place, it is raining again today, no one would have thought that I would suddenly go to his ancestral Donglai Mansion, without prior preparation, with you, a master to escort, forgive them and they can't do anything to me." ”

"However, what if Zu Donglai also has a master in the mansion who is not weaker than his ministers?" He Ziming still didn't dare to agree rashly.

Li Guanqi smiled lightly and said: "Although I don't know martial arts, I can imagine that there will be no more than ten people in the world who can have such skills as you." Even if Zu Donglai wants to find it, he may not be able to find it. Moreover, although he is in power and opposition, and gradually has a heart of disobedience, but after all, there is no opposite, and all the princes and ministers also recognize my identity, forgive him at this time, and he does not dare to let me have an accident in his home at this time. ”

Seeing that He Ziming was still hesitating, Li Guanqi asked with a smile, "What?" Yun Jing didn't dare to go with me? ”

"Why don't you dare?" After this agitation, He Ziming immediately replied with arrogance.

"Good!" Li Guanqi nodded, and then shouted outside: "Xiao Ying, bring a robe." ”

At this time, the prime minister's house is actually not calm. Zu Donglai because Li Guanqi resolutely selected He Zhuguo's daughter as the queen, taking advantage of the rainy day, there was nothing to do in the yamen, and he was gathering his own people at home to plot and discuss.

Zu Tianyi, Liu Ji, Fan Jian, Lu Renjia, and Long Tao and several other Zu Donglai's cronies were spitting and arguing at this time, while Zu Donglai was half lying comfortably on the couch, closing his eyes and listening to everyone's discussions.

Since the last secret meeting, in fact, everyone has already understood in their hearts that it is only a matter of time before they get rid of Li Guanqi, the emperor of Qianwei, and now that Li Guanqi has announced the establishment of the daughter of the Taiwei, he will inevitably get the support of a cadre of generals, and in time, the situation will inevitably turn around. Therefore, several of you here are advocating speeding up the progress of things.

Because Zu Tianyi had the highly poisonous "Hundred Bird Cream" prepared for him by Hu Ruoyu in his hand, he proposed to buy a tea palace maid and secretly put the poison in the tea for Li Guanqi to take it, anyway, it will take seven days to take effect, and it will not arouse everyone's suspicion.

At that time, with Zu Donglai's status in the court, whether to set up a new emperor or replace him is a matter of hand-to-hand capture, of course, Zu Tianyi still very much hopes that Zu Donglai can replace him at that time, if Zu Donglai becomes the emperor, then he will naturally be the crown prince.

And Fan Jian advocated to do it directly in the Qinzheng Palace, because he was the commander of the internal guards, and the guards in the palace were all under his control, Li Guanqi handled government affairs during the day and slept in the Qinzheng Palace at night, so it was most suitable to do it here.

In order not to be robbed of all the credit by others, Liu Ji took the initiative to lead Yulinwei to enter Chengtianmen at that time, and responded to Fan Jian in the palace of Qinzheng to prevent the team of the king outside the palace......
