Chu Junlan and Chu Huating were invited to the spacious front hall, where handsome maids dressed in bright green tufts of new pinched teeth and long armor came out to pour tea for them with their eyebrows lowered.

"Childe, please use, Miss, please use."

"Thank you." Chu Huating smiled and thanked him, and the servant girl curtsied and retreated.

Neither brother nor sister had the heart to eat tea.

Chu Junlan's slender fingers pointed at the table, and there were already several kinds of abdominal drafts in his heart, if Cao Qin refused to help, how should she convince him, if not, how should she deal with this matter.

To be honest, although she inherited the memory of this body, she didn't have much affection for the Chu family.

It's just that she has no feelings, and she doesn't want to watch innocent people die in vain. What's more, once the Chu family is charged with any crime, it will be a devastating blow to the brother who wants to follow the official career.

Chu Huating easily passed the difficult period of blindness, and finally could cheer up and concentrate on managing the future, Chu Junlan must not look at his brother's path and cut off here.

After a while, steady footsteps came slowly.

Chu Junlan and Chu Huating hurriedly stood up and bowed their heads respectfully.

Cao Qin was wearing a homely half-new plain satin royal blue wide-sleeved robe, and his face was as loving as any family that cares for his back.

Seeing Chu Junlan, Cao Qin's smile was a little more real, and he smiled and said, "Miss Chu is here?" This is Chu Gongzi, right? Unexpectedly, Chu Gongzi's eyes had healed. It's really gratifying. ”

Chu Junlan and Chu Huating saluted Cao Qin together.

Cao Qin is a master of observing words and feelings, and when he saw the expressions of Chu Junlan and Chu Huating, he knew that there was an urgent matter, so he didn't procrastinate much, and asked straight to the point: "The two of you came in a hurry at this time, is there something urgent?" ”

Chu Junlan nodded and glanced at Cao Qin's left and right.

Cao Qin immediately smiled and sent away the servants and maids standing behind him, and his face was a little nervous.

Chu Junlan carefully explained what happened at home.

"And such things! Someone dares to break into your house and pretend to be an official of the imperial court? Cao Qin was stunned, his expression was very solemn,

"This matter is very important, it involves the safety of the emperor, our brothers and sisters dare not be sloppy, and the only thing we can ask for at this time is you." Chu Junlan said earnestly, "I don't know if it's for the whole family of the Chu family, but also for the emperor!" Once the bandits approached the emperor...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”

Cao Qinpu stood up and paced back and forth with his hands down.

Chu Junlan and Chu Huating glanced at each other, and they both saw a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes, Cao Qin didn't immediately refuse, didn't drive them out or shut them up, and things took a turn for the better!

"This matter cannot be delayed, if it is delayed for a while, the emperor will be in more danger." Cao Qin earnestly solicited the opinions of the two, "What do you brothers and sisters think about this matter?" ”

Chu Huating arched his hand and said: "According to the boy's opinion, at this time, you should quickly go to Fushou Garden, enter quietly, find the lurking person and take the person down." ”

Cao Qin noticed that he said "quietly" and was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "It's okay, if the crisis can be resolved quietly, the Chu family will be cheap, and our family will be able to avoid a lot of trouble." As for how to hold accountable, it's all an afterthought. ”

Cao Qin turned around and summoned someone to come in, prepared pen and ink, and wrote a letter to Chu Junlan.

"You two brothers and sisters immediately take this letter to Fushouyuan, today's leader of the forbidden army in charge of defense Meng Hanliang is my good friend, you brothers and sisters can directly talk to him if you have any ideas, I have asked him to fully cooperate with you."

Chu Huating and Chu Junlan immediately felt that this letter weighed a thousand pounds.

said that Meng Hanliang was Cao Qin's friend, which was actually telling them in disguise that the leader of the forbidden army could actually listen to Cao Qin's orders!

In the past, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Gyeonggi Wei were willing to sell Cao Qin's face, and now there is Meng Hanliang, the leader of the forbidden army, and Cao Qin's connections as an internal official are really staggering.

"Thank you Gonggong Cao for your trust. Today's kindness, he will repay it again tomorrow. Chu Junlan saluted solemnly.

Cao Qin smiled and waved his hand: "They are all their own people, why do you need to be like this?" Go and come back quickly. ”

"Yes. Thanks a lot. ”

The brother and sister left Cao's house and galloped all the way to Hongfeng Mountain, and when they reached the gate of Fushou Garden halfway up the mountain, both horses were tired and unsteady.

Outside the heavily guarded Fushou Garden, how many pairs of eyes stared here, and when they saw someone coming, even if there was a team of Praetorian Guards looking for defense, they approached.

"What people! What the hell! ”

Chu Junlan hurriedly took out Cao Qin's handwritten letter: "We were ordered to find Lord Meng!" ”

As soon as the Praetorian Guards saw the private seal on the envelope, they immediately became in awe, their attitudes turned around, and they said respectfully: "Please come with me." ”

As for a hut in front of the gate of Fushouyuan, the man knocked lightly: "Dutong, someone asks to see you." ”

With a creak, the lights sprinkled all over the ground, and a middle-aged man with a strong figure and a light military uniform walked out.

He leaned on the handle of the saber with one hand, and lowered his eyes to look at Chu Junlan and Chu Huating.

The man and woman in front of him are rare handsome figures, looking at the dress, what kind of housekeeper's son and daughter should be, he is sure that he has never seen the two of them.

"Something?" Meng Hanliang's voice was low and a little arrogant.

Chu Junlan presented the letter with both hands.

As soon as Meng Hanliang saw Cao Qin's private seal, his face became serious, and when he carefully read the contents of the letter, he immediately looked dignified, and said politely: "Please come over for a while." ”

Meng Hanliang politely took the brother and sister out of Fushou Garden and spoke in a no-man's land.

Chu Junlan had no choice but to talk about the matter in general.

Meng Hanliang's face was pale, and he said irritably: "Today's banquet of hundreds of officials, there are too many officials here, the appearance of the officials is not static, it is really difficult to know each other, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find it like this!" ”

"But when it's in danger, even if it's a needle in a haystack, you have to catch it!" Chu Junlan said in a low voice: "That person is wearing my father's official uniform, wearing my father's accessories, and he must have no communication with other colleagues, he must be trying to do something when he comes to the Baiguan Banquet, and he will definitely be able to catch the flaw." It's just that if you don't want to implicate anyone in this matter, it's best to find and arrest someone secretly. ”

Chu Huating continued: "I can recognize my father's usual clothes, please take me in, I can find it faster!" ”

"I'll go too!" Chu Junlan also said.

Meng Hanliang struggled.

He shouldn't have used his duties indiscriminately and brought people into Fushou Garden, but one was that Gonggong Cao gave an order, and he couldn't disobey it, and second, it was better to have someone who knew that dressed in that costume to go in than to find a needle in a haystack than someone who knew him.

Besides, if the emperor really has something, his whole family is afraid that they will not be able to eat and leave!

Thinking of this, Meng Hanliang said: "That's it, you come with me." ”

Chu Junlan was overjoyed, and just as she was about to follow, Chu Huating stopped her first: "Lanlan, you wait." ”
