Walking out of the inner court, Liu Yu handed over the Jinpa that Lin Meiren had collected to Qi'er. Qi'er hugged her mother's belongings and cried for a while, Liu Yu comforted her a few words, knowing that her mother was fine, and Qi'er was a little relieved.

"Qi'er, go back to sleep. Look at the red circles in your eyes, don't wait for your mother to come out, see you like this, make her sad. ”

Qi'er Chuchu's eyes were pitiful and reluctant, but she still nodded in agreement. Before leaving, it is a step and three times to turn back affectionately.

After seeing Qi'er walk away, Liu Yu asked Han Sheng: "Brother Han, how is the emperor going to deal with this case?" ”

Han Sheng said helplessly: "This case happened strangely, now that the concubine is unconscious, those palace maids and eunuchs don't know anything, I'm afraid it's ...... Bad. ”

"Didn't show any clues? What is the poison in it, where does the poison come from, there is really no clue? Liu Yue asked urgently.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but there's really nothing I can do, this case ...... It's so weird. I can't tell the truth. ”

Han Sheng obviously had something to hide, and it seemed that he had also guessed that the secret behind this case was not simple. If it was really the emperor who sent someone to do it, even if there was evidence, who would dare to expose it?

Liu Yu not only wants to take care of her daughter for Lin Meiren, but also doesn't want her to have anything to do with herself. Now Liu Yu has no choice, the best thing is to see if the old emperor can have a few days left to live, and whether he can decide the case before he dies.

walked to the gate of the palace with a full stomach full of depression, and met Qi Fang who came in from outside. I haven't seen him for a long time, and Liu Yu almost didn't know Qi Fang when he saw him. Qi Fang's face was dark and swarthy, and he was drying in the field every day, not at all like his original elegant appearance.

"Brother Qi, long time no see." Liu Yu rarely smiled and bowed.

"Brother Liu. I've seen you. These days are out. I always miss you. ”

"It's not that I'm thinking about my little brother, I'm thinking about a relative in my brother's family, right?"

Liu Yu joked, and asked a few words with Qi Fang, it turned out that after Qi Fang escorted Tang Cai and Gan Mao's uncle and nephew to Chang'an, the emperor immediately asked Gaqi Fang to be the deputy general, and directly skipped the partial general and was promoted two levels in a row. and escorted the uncle and nephew to Chang'an to guide the cultivation of Nanyang Gan, so they missed the opportunity to meet.

"Then Brother Qi should be honored as General Qi, and he will be his brother-in-law in the future." Liu Yu is also happy for his sister. finally helped her solve the marriage matter.

Qi Fang sighed: "It's also my bad life, I just came back and wanted to propose marriage, but I heard that the Marquis of Dingguo led the army to fight again, and the marriage was going to be postponed." ”

Liu Yu comforted a few words, Qi Fang wanted to rush into the palace to return to the emperor on an errand, and hurriedly met to say goodbye. Liu Yu was about to leave the palace, and an old minister in court clothes came over, called "Commander Liu", and stood still as if waiting for Liu Yu to pass.

Right Prime Minister Yuan Bolang.

A civil servant, a military general. There isn't much intersection on weekdays. This time, Liu Yufu invited him to a banquet, but he didn't come under the pretext of not coming, and met at the gate of the palace. He set up the old minister's shelf.

Liu Yu arched his hand as a courtesy, as a chance encounter, and ignored him and walked directly outside the palace, Yuan Bolang didn't expect Liu Yu to be ignorant of current affairs, and when he saw Liu Yu walking out of the way, he had to chase after him.

"Commander Liu, please stay."

Liu Yu turned around and pretended to be puzzled: "Is there something wrong with Yuan Xiang's search?" ”

Yuan Bolang is an old pedant, he has always cared most about all kinds of etiquette, and he was a little unhappy when he saw Liu Yue speaking frivolously, but after all, Liu Yu is now in charge of the defense of the palace and has won the trust of the emperor, so he can only put away the idea of preaching.

Yuan Bolang said: "Recently, all the doors of the palace have been closed, leaving only one door to enter and exit, why is this? ”

"It's all the emperor's will, and the general is also acting on the emperor's orders, but Yuan Xiang has an opinion?"

Directly asked him if he had an "opinion" on the emperor's will, Liu Yu was also quite ignorant, Yuan Bolang's face sank and said: "Don't think that the old man doesn't know that it's all your idea." Now the old man is just here to remind you that there will be some changes in the palace recently, and the old man wants to recruit you at any time, don't be ignorant! ”

Yuan Bolang is reminding him to follow his steps, how could Liu Yue not know. When he was about to change the Son of Heaven, Yuan Bolang also hoped that he would not be an empty marshal, and he would be disrespectful to others when he spoke.

Liu Yu smiled and said: "This general has always only served the imperial decree, so Yuan Xiang might as well go and invite the holy decree to come again!" ”

"You!"

Yuan Bolang is also an old minister after all, and he disdains to talk to such juniors who are new to officialdom and don't understand the world, so he stared at Liu Yu for a while, and went to the palace with his sleeves. The Wu Dynasty is about to begin, the old emperor is seriously ill, and the person who presides over the court meeting is generally Yuan Bolang, the right minister.

Liu Yu also sighed a little, he originally wanted Yuan Bolang to use it for himself, but now Yuan Bolang recruited him. But Liu Yue thought about it, as long as he respected the emperor's order, who listened to whom?

…………

The fourth day of August.

A calm day. But for Su Yan, this day was not peaceful, it was his wedding day.

But King Yu's Mansion is very deserted, there are very few guests who come, most of the seats in the courtyard are vacant, and even those who come to him are not high-ranking officials in Chang'an City. Because he "broke up" with Liu Yu, not only did Liu Yu, the original officiant, not come, but even Sui Yi, Li Mi and others related to Liu Yu were not present.

Liu Yu was at home, sitting alone with a glass of wine in front of him, and when it was close to dusk, he raised his wine glass and drank a glass in the direction of Yuwangfu. Drinking a glass of wine from afar, Su Yan saluted.

Then he put away his thoughts and continued to read the various secret reports submitted by the secret agents of the Royal Forest Army.

Becoming the official presidential leader of the Imperial Forest Army is equivalent to mastering the secret services of Chang'an City, and many of the news is not something that the original Liu Yue can see or know. Some news, even if it happens far away from Tongguan, will be sent to him as soon as possible.

The king of Chu has hurried back to Chang'an City, and for the sudden conscription of the emperor, the king of Chu must have guessed that the old emperor wants to pass on the throne.

The five-day journey will only take three days at most if the starry night comes.

Three days is too short for Liu Yu. A lot of things are not yet in the driver's seat, let alone ready.

Su Ren, the king of Jin, returned to the capital one step earlier, it was on the afternoon of the fourth day of the eighth month, the emperor sent Yang Lie, the right commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to pick up the wind, Su Ren returned to Chang'an City to see the emperor and returned home, it seemed that he should be resting.

…………

The fifth day of the eighth month.

This is the day when Xu Caihua came out of the cabinet. Of course, for Xu Caihua, who went on the horse to kill the enemy and dismounted to resist the Ding, "out of the cabinet" is just a title, and she is very different from other big families in Chang'an City. This is not only known to her fiancé Wang Hu, but also to anyone who has heard of Xu Caihua's "heroic deeds".

Cheng Biting Jin among women is not so easy to mess with.

On this day, not only Wang Shangshu's mansion was lively, but also the Qianfeng General's Mansion was also lively. Because this is Xu Caihua's "maiden home", Xu Caihua's "out of the pavilion" is out of the pavilion door of the forward general's mansion.

Because it takes until after sunset to pick up the bride, Xu Caihua wanders around the house all day. When passing by the study, I will also say hello to Liu Yu. Liu Yu would also look up at her and smile politely. Of course, he was used to this bride running around, and she used to like to walk back and forth in the house.

Liu Yu originally came to attend Xu Caihua's wedding on a day off, but the difference between a holiday and a holiday was very small for Liu Yu, and no one could stop him from entering and leaving the palace freely.

On this day, the situation became urgent, and news came from the palace. The emperor's condition began to deteriorate, and he was unable to eat from lunch, and could only be fed clear porridge and water. The hospital is the busiest.

Liu Yue counts the days, and the king of Chu is almost here before he passes Tongguan. After Tongguan, the road behind is easy to walk.

At dusk, it suddenly became lively outside, and the procession of the Wang family to welcome relatives arrived.

Xu Xuanzhu came to invite Liu Yue to go out of the sedan to watch the ceremony, Liu Yu put away all kinds of secret reports, and also put the prepared yellow paper into his arms, and witnessed Xu Caihua enter the sedan door with Xu Xuanzhu. Immediately, the welcoming team left surrounded by passers-by, and Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu also had to go back to prepare, and they would go to Wang Jian's house for a thank-you banquet.

The thanksgiving banquet is similar to the funeral wine, which is a banquet for the family to eat after sending the newlyweds into the cave room, the feast has ended. to enhance the relationship with the acquaintance. As Xu Caihua's mother's family, Liu Yu, Xu Caihua's "brother-in-law", must be indispensable.

"Husband, is there something wrong?" Xu Xuanzhu saw that Liu Yu was absent-minded and kept looking in the direction of the palace and asked.

Liu Yu calmed down and said, "Madam, if it is as expected by my husband, tonight, tomorrow morning at the latest, the sky will change." ”

Xu Xuanzhu smiled and said, "An autumn rain and a cold, the concubine will go and ask the maids to prepare some thick clothes." ”

Although Liu Yu's prompt is very clear, for a woman with a family and a husband, Xu Xuanzhu still instinctively thinks of the trivial matters of the family, as well as the responsibilities she should fulfill for the family as a hostess. (To be continued......)
