It was late at night, but the study was still brightly lit.

Emperor Mingzong was a diligent king, and under his rule, Donglu grew stronger and stronger.

But under the strong and prosperous, there are still many hidden worries, the first of which are two major problems: natural disasters and wars, which make the treasury increasingly empty; The crown prince and King Ye are more and more familiar with political struggles, but they are more and more deficient in people's livelihood, social affairs, and military and political affairs.

This time, there was another headache for him: Murong Chong's life and death were uncertain.

Murong Chong is the only son of King Yu and the only bloodline of King Yu.

At the beginning, he was able to ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five Emperor, and the king was indispensable!

Pity......

God is jealous of talents!

Could it be that this time, Lord Yan also wants to take Murong Chong away?

Emperor Mingzong pressed his eyebrows hard, and his heart was very irritable.

"Your Majesty."

A person suddenly appeared in the imperial study, dressed in a navy blue brocade robe, with dark red flame patterns embroidered on the cuffs, bowing his eyebrows and bowing his head, kneeling respectfully on the ground.

Winged Guard.

"Say."

"Princess Rong and Su Shizi met at the East City Gate, and Princess Rong handed over a letter to Su Shizi, and the two guards of King Rong's Mansion followed Su Shizi out of the East City Gate."

Emperor Mingzong let out a "hmm", put down his hand rubbing his eyebrows, took a book from the imperial case, and continued to ask, "What else?" What did you hear them say? ”

The winged fire guard who was kneeling on the ground hesitated for a moment, and felt very embarrassed: "The lowly is incompetent, the guards around Princess Rong are too vigilant, and the lowly guard doesn't dare to get too close, so he ......"

Emperor Mingzong looked at the folds, and asked in a natural tone, "That Leng Shu?" ”

Winged Fire Guard confessed, "In addition to him, there is another. ”

Emperor Mingzong's hand froze, and he raised his eyes, but he couldn't see any emotion on his face: "There is another one?" ”

"Yes, and it shouldn't be below him."

"People from King Rong's Mansion?"

Wingfire thought for a moment, then said, "It should be." ”

"Should?"

"The emperor forgives the sin, and the humble duty will be investigated."

Emperor Mingzong waved his hand, agreeing with the other party's statement.

The Winged Fire Guard dodged out of the Imperial Study, coming and going without a trace. In the imperial study, only the emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe was left, frowning.

In King Rong's mansion, Lin Ruo, who had returned from seeing off, returned to the study, ready to ask Wu Ji to send a letter to Wu Ji, but Wu Ji took the lead in telling her about someone watching in secret.

Seeing that Leng Shu was also unanimous, Lin Ruo couldn't help asking, "Do you know who it is?" ”

"It's not."

Leng Shu decisively rejected Lin Ruo's speculation.

Wu Ji groaned for a moment, and then said: "I suspect that it is a master by the emperor's side." ”

Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows, and had a guess in his heart—could it be the Winged Fire Guard?

The emperor really sent someone to keep an eye on her......

Lin Ruo let out a long sigh.

"Princess, it's my responsibility. I didn't close the night, that's why I ......"

Because Lin Ruo mentioned it, it was the emperor's acquiescence, so he was also careless.

Lin Ruo waved his hand: "If the emperor asks, I will find a way to cover it up." Don't talk about this, you first find a way to avoid the surveillance of the Wing Fire Guard, and then send a letter to Wu Wu, tell him the news that Bo Yu went to the north, and also inform him of the news that the Eighth Emperor is going to sacrifice the army on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Let him and Vice General Xu go to He Yan, and be sure to hide the news of the prince's injury. Also, pry the relationship between him and Tang Xiao from Yu Chongqing's mouth as soon as possible, so as not to be plotted again. ”

"That Tang Xiao's whereabouts ......"

"I will make another arrangement, in short, remind that there is no trace, the shadow guard must always be by the side of the prince, and all people and things that come into contact with the prince must be careful and beware, and nothing can go wrong!"

"Yes."

Blameless, immediately dodge away.

Lin Ruo picked up the pen, wrote a letter in secret language, put it in an ebony letterbox, and handed it to Leng Shu: "Give it to Ah Sui, let him pass the news to Daiguo." ”

"Are you going to let Ji Gongzi check Tang Xiao's whereabouts?"

"Yes," Lin Ruo didn't hide it, "Remind Ah Fei that he has been low-key recently, and if there is any news, send it to the shop." ”

The Lin family has a lot of shops in Bian'an City, and different news can be handed over to the Lin Mansion through different people in different shops. After all, when you open your door to do business, people come and go, and it is most difficult to find out the relationship.

On the cusp of this storm, it would not be wrong to be cautious.

Leng Shu didn't ask much about which shop he was going to send it to and whose hands it was handed over, if Lin Ruolet him bring anything, he would just bring anything over.

"Remember to avoid the Winged Guard."

"I understand."

As a killer, Leng Shu is better at avoiding people's eyes than blameless.

Sitting alone in front of the bookcase, Lin Ruo's whole person curled up unconsciously. Beneath the calm exterior, there is still a restless heart. In fact, if you want to find Tang Xiao's whereabouts faster, pass the book to Meng Bin, and let the black armor guard take action, which is faster. However, she didn't want to use the Mo Lin Order, nor did she want Meng Bin to know about it.

Because, she didn't dare to take risks.

Although there was no evidence, her intuition told her that this incident might have something to do with the Meng family.

But even if it doesn't matter, let Meng Bin guess that Murong Chong was seriously injured and didn't know the news of his life and death, it would be endless troubles. Zeguo's 100,000 Xuanjia troops are not vegetarians!

Even if she could swear to Murong Chong and grasp the food supply of Zeguo, it would be quite difficult to use the grain business as a threat at this moment. One guessed with assumptions, and tore his face with the Meng family, which was not worth it; The second, and most important reason, will startle the snake and make Meng Jiugong realize that something has happened in the northern camp.

However, although you can't do something in person, it's okay to create a little trouble for them behind your back, so that the Xuanjia Army can't take care of the Northern Army. For example, let the Hyuk, Gayage, Silla, and Baekje cause some chaos in the rear of Zeguo.

But these are just auxiliary means, and the most important thing is to see if Murong Chong can survive.

Lin Ruo looked at the bright moon that was still missing a small half in the night sky, and felt that he was also missing a piece in his heart.

I was worried and couldn't sleep well. I got up in a daze, and it was blue and black again.

Fortunately, Lin Ruo had the foresight to let Youcao boil a small pot of white fungus, without adding any accessories, and boiling it over low heat until the white fungus was boiled soft and glutinous, and it would break if you touched it lightly. Then drain out the thick white fungus soup, take a clean plain silk, soak it in, and apply it to the blue and black areas under the eyes.

By the time I changed my clothes and was ready to enter the palace, the blue and black color under my eyes had almost faded, and with a little powder, it could be completely covered and I couldn't see it.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Ruo followed the little eunuch into the imperial study and knelt on the ground.

On today's trip, she specially came to ask Emperor Mingzong for her guilt, for yesterday's loss of honor in front of the palace, and because she went to the East City Gate yesterday to see off Su Muyu.

Emperor Mingzong remembered Lin Ruo's worries about Murong Chong, the loss of honor in front of the palace and the fact that he sent guards to the military department to investigate, all of which were excusable and not to blame. But the fact that the East City Gate saw off Su Muyu made him a little worried.
