Shen Xixu was full of anger and couldn't get rid of it, but a small guy suddenly broke in outside the door, and shouted "My lord, that group of soldiers and horses is moving."

Luo Mingrang originally knelt respectfully in front of Shen Xixu and made amends to her, but when he heard the words of the little maid, he got up and walked towards the door without thinking about it.

"What's going on? Where are they now? Luo Mingrang asked and followed the little guy out.

Shen Xixu stood in place and was dumbfounded, and was taken aback for a while before turning his head to look at Lu Xuan: "What kind of attitude does he have?" The county lord hasn't said to forgive him yet. ”

Seeing that Shen Xixu's anger did not decrease but increased, Lu Xuan originally planned to intercede for Luo Mingrang, but now with his own desire to survive, it was in vain.

But she couldn't watch Shen Xixu continue to get angry here and let the two of them fight in the nest, and in desperation, Lu Xuan had no choice but to persuade her to focus on the overall situation.

Only then did Shen Xixu put aside his personal grievances with Luo Mingrang for the time being, and obediently stayed here with Lu Xuan to wait for news.

And Lu Xuan only cared about the overall situation, and forgot that the message he had sent to Gu Huanli in a hurry.

Gu Huanli received the letter and learned that Shen Xixu secretly followed Lu Xuan to the eastern suburbs and accidentally got lost, and his heart was suddenly annoyed and worried.

"It's just nonsense, and you dare to go to the eastern suburbs without permission." Gu Huanli was furious, and after casually scolding, he was going to send secret guards to the eastern suburbs to search for Shen Xixu's whereabouts.

Lin Wei remained calm and rational at all times, and hurriedly stopped Gu Huanli before he could give the order:

"Your Highness, think twice, this time Your Majesty's matter of soldiers and horses in the eastern suburbs of Jiangdong is suspected of His Highness, and His Highness must not involve the people of the palace in it."

After Lin Wei's reminder, Gu Huanli realized that he was concerned and confused, and fell into contemplation for a while.

It is important to eliminate Emperor Liang Qin's suspicions about himself at the moment, but Shen Xixu is Gu Huanli's most beloved niece, and if she has any mistakes because of this matter, he will not be able to do it in his heart.

After thinking about it, since the Fierce King's Mansion can't control this matter, there must always be someone who has a reason and ability to intervene.

There was no time to delay for too long, Gu Huanli walked towards the eldest princess's mansion without saying a word.

At that time, the eldest princess was also anxiously looking for Shen Xixu's whereabouts.

When Gu Huanli arrived, she was angrily reprimanding the subordinates who had returned to her life:

"A bunch of rubbish! I can't even look at a little girl, what does this palace want you to do? If you can't find the whereabouts of the county lord today, don't come back!" ”

was reprimanded by the eldest princess like this, and the subordinates who were originally kneeling on the ground didn't even have time to get up, so they quickly turned around and crawled out of the ground.

Only then did Gu Huanli step forward: "Eldest sister." ”

Seeing that Gu returned the gift and rarely came to the house, the eldest princess used it to face the anger of her subordinates, and then it dissipated completely.

"Fierce King, why are you here?" The eldest princess asked Gu Huanli in surprise.

He didn't respond in detail, but went straight to the point - "The eldest sister is looking for Ah Xu, I know her whereabouts." ”

Hearing this, the eldest princess was not to mention how excited, she originally planned to wait for the next person to find another two hours, if she really couldn't find it, she would go to the Fierce King's Mansion to use Gu Huanli's secret guard, but she never thought that he would take the initiative to bring Shen Xixu's news over.

The eldest princess took the opportunity to look behind Gu Huanli, but she didn't see half a figure, so she asked him, "What about Axu?" ”

The eldest princess was full of suspicion, and privately thought that Shen Xixu was worried about being punished, so she didn't show up for a long time.

But Gu Huanli dispelled her idea with a word, and instead sighed at her: "Ah Xu is greedy for fun, and secretly followed Lu Xuan to the eastern suburbs. ”

"Eastern suburbs?" The eldest princess was shocked, Shen Xixu had never left her side when she was so old, how could she sneak away so far this time, and she was still following a "man".

Seeing the eldest princess's excited expression, she was worried that she would be angry with Lu Xuan in a panic, so Gu Huanli hurriedly explained:

"This king secretly sent Lu Xuan to the eastern suburbs to investigate a case, thinking that she should have bumped into Ah Xu on the street, and she was so entangled that she was allowed to follow."

Gu Huanli really knew Lu Xuan and Shen Xixu, so he could describe the incident with a casual guess.

Fortunately, the eldest princess's whole heart was on her lost daughter at this time, and she didn't have the heart to blame Lu Xuan at all, so when she heard Gu Huanli's explanation, she didn't say anything, but asked about Shen Xixu's situation again.

When Gu Huanli was asked, a heavy look appeared on his face, and he pondered for a moment before he spoke: "This king came to look for the eldest sister today for this matter, and this king received a letter from Lu Xuan, saying that Ah Xu was lost on the street in the eastern suburbs. ”

"What? Lost? When the eldest princess heard this, she was so frightened that she lost her souls.

Originally, when she learned that Shen Xixu was lost in Shengjing City, she was already anxious, and finally waited for her news, but she didn't expect to lose it, and she was still lost in the eastern suburbs where she was unfamiliar.

The eldest princess was panicked for a while, and Gu Huanli spoke to her:

"There are some special conditions in this palace, and it is inconvenient to send secret guards to the eastern suburbs, so I can only come to find the eldest sister, hoping that the eldest sister can draw people from the mansion to the eastern suburbs to find Ah Xu."

Hearing this, because she was concerned about Shen Xixu's safety, the eldest princess didn't have time to ask Gu Huanli more about the reason, and without thinking about it, she immediately sent the soldiers and horses from the mansion to the eastern suburbs.

At the same time, a woman was quietly infiltrating the Ritzer mansion.

"Lord Li." The woman whispered his name at the door of Li Ce's room, and Li Ce was startled when she heard the voice, and hurriedly rushed over to open the door and dragged her into the room.

Even though the candle flame in the house was not very bright, just by virtue of his figure and voice, Li Ce could recognize at a glance that the person was Lu Qingmeng, who lived not far from the next door.

"Why are you here? What if someone sees me? Li Ce scolded Lu Qingmeng with a panicked face, but she smiled contemptuously: "No one will see it, the Lu family has already fallen asleep." ”

"What about Lu Xuan? She has always been as careful as a hair, you don't underestimate her, if you don't pay attention to being followed by her, your and my plans will be ruined. Li Ce carefully guarded against Lu Xuan.

Lu Qingmeng was at a loss: "Lu Xuan? She left the house yesterday! Don't adults know? ”

Li Ce couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "She's not in the house?" But it is rumored that she is infected with the cold and recuperates in the house. ”

"What is the cold, she has not come back since she got up early yesterday morning to go to the household department to take office, and then the household department Shangshu sent someone to the house to inform her, saying that she was sent to deal with an urgent case." Lu Qingmeng said.

There are discrepancies in the conversation between the two, which has to make people wonder if Lu Xuan has any unsavory secrets.

Li Ce fell into a deep thought-

Lu Xuan had just arrived in the household department, and according to the past practice, even if there was really any urgent case, it would not be her turn, and it was still personally assigned by the household department, so it had nothing to do with her.

In this way, Li Ce didn't believe that Lu Xuan's trip was really assigned by the head of the household department anyway.

He immediately inquired towards Lu Qingmeng: "Are you sure that the person who went to the house yesterday to spread the word is really the person from the Hubu Shangshu?" ”

Lu Qingmeng almost felt that Li Ce was making fun of himself, and then smiled at him: "I, a woman in the boudoir, how can I recognize the people around Hubu Shangshu?" It's just that that's what the man called himself, and I didn't think much about it. ”

explained casually, and seeing Li Ce's heavy face, Lu Qingmeng asked rhetorically: "What's the matter, but is there anything wrong?" ”

As soon as Lu Qingmeng said this, Li Ce became more firm in his inner conjecture, was silent for a moment, and then responded to her with a gloomy face: "I suspect that the person who came to the Lu Mansion to inform him was not sent by the Hubu Shangshu at all. ”

"That's ......" Lu Qingmeng looked surprised, and couldn't help but fall into a burst of suspicion.

Only then did Li Ce ask her, "Who do you think will send Lu Xuan to do errands besides the household department?" ”

Lu Qingmeng thought carefully for a while, although she didn't understand the affairs of the court, but in the Lu Mansion before, whenever the Cui family was humiliated, the only one who came to rescue her except Lu Xuan was the Fierce King's Mansion.

If it weren't for Lu Xuan's submission to him, Lu Qingmeng really couldn't think of a reason to let him personally come forward to help the Lu family.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingmeng raised his eyes to look at Li Ce: "Maybe there is really such a person." ”

"Do you mean the Fierce King?" Li Ce also thought of Gu Huanli, and the two looked at each other, and couldn't help but have the same worry.

Gu Huanli transferred Lu Xuan to deal with an urgent case for no reason, but concealed her whereabouts from the outside world, and even did not hesitate to pull the household department Shangshu to lie about it, which must not be a trivial matter.

Li Ce was pondering, feeling that if he found out about this matter, it might be an important opportunity to bring down Gu Huanli.

However, Lu Qingmeng reacted faster, and casually asked Li Ce: "Could it be that there is something on His Royal Highness Chang Wang's side that shows his feet?" ”

Lu Qingmeng didn't say that it was okay, but when he said Li Ce, he couldn't help but worry-

Recently, King Chang has been framing Gu Huanli in front of Emperor Liang Qin in every possible way according to his suggestion, on the one hand, he wants to bring him down as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he is to cover for King Chang's private raising of soldiers and horses in the eastern suburbs.

Previously, Gu Huanli had always made no action against King Chang's side, and only occasionally fought back against the prince, which was in line with his personality that he had never been afraid of heaven and earth.

But recently, the prince's vitality has been greatly damaged, and he has no spare strength to target the fierce prince's mansion, with Gu Huanli's personality, if people don't offend me, I won't offend, and I don't think he will do anything to the prince in the future.

Then Lu Xuan's sudden action here is very likely to be aimed at King Chang.

It just so happened that King Chang is now raising soldiers and horses privately in the eastern suburbs, and he has just made some improvements, and the timing of these two things is really suspicious.
