Chapter 54: The Scheme
"Didn't you say you'd come back?" Hao Wu said extravagantly.
Chu Ye sat beside her and touched her head gently, "This king apologizes to you. ”
Hao Wu smiled extravagantly, "What is it, I have to deal with it in the middle of the night?" ”
"The king will tell you later." Chu Ye said, "I'm going out for a few days, and Yu Jing will also leave with this king." You must stay in the house these days and do not go anywhere until the king returns. ”
"Where are you going?" Hao Wu asked.
Chu Ye raised his eyebrows, seeing that he was so mysterious, Hao Wu said extravagantly: "I know, I will tell me in the future." ”
Chu Ye pulled back the corners of his lips and smiled.
"Remember the words of this king, if this king doesn't come back, you can't go anywhere!" He admonished again.
Hao Wuxuan nodded, "Remember!" ”
Seven days later, in the morning, the first product of the general's mansion.
As soon as Li Zhen entered the study, Adjutant General Jiang Yong entered the door with a black wooden box in both hands, "General, the thing has been found." ”
Hearing this, Li Zhen was overjoyed, opened the box, opened one or two letters inside, read them, and picked up a thumb-sized jade medal inside and took a closer look at the inscription on it, "The text of the Yi clan?" ”
A sly smile escaped from the old man's eyes.
Jiang Yong said: "The nest of the Yi clan in the imperial city will be found soon, and the subordinates have concluded that the general will receive the news before sunset today to encircle and suppress." ”
Li Zhen didn't raise his eyebrows, thinking of entering the palace today and being summoned by the emperor alone.
The emperor suddenly fell ill and vomited constantly, and it was only seven days, and the dragon's body was ruined, and he was afraid that he would die soon.
I don't know when, the palace has become a scene of wind and cranes, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. It happened suddenly, and he, as a dignified general, didn't notice it at all, and he actually learned from King Chong that the two kings had rebelled and rebelled, bought off the old eunuchs who had served the emperor for more than ten years, drugged the emperor's diet, and held the emperor hostage.
"General?" Jiang Yong was stunned when he saw Li Zhen and called.
Li Zhen woke up and put the seal into the box, "Jiang Yong! ”
"The last general!"
"There are bandits in the land of Nanfeng, this general is ordered by the emperor to send troops to encircle and suppress, rectify the soldiers and horses, immediately go out of the city, and wait for me in Jiulipo outside the city!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Yong finished answering, and immediately left the study.
Li Zhen opened the dark compartment behind the bookshelf and put the black wooden box inside.
The May sun enveloped everything in gold, golden leaves, golden peonies, golden dew.
Hao Wuxuan stretched out his jade-white thin fingers and carefully touched the tip of the petals, and a drop of flower dew "ticked" into the white porcelain bottle in his hand.
Jin Ling brought it to her earlier and said with a smile: "Miss, guess what you will eat this morning?" ”
"Xiao Long Bao!" Hao Wu glanced at the jade porcelain cup that had been placed on the table in the pavilion, "Add soy milk!" ”
"Miss can guess it every time!" Jin Ling brought it to the table early, uncovered the cover on the silver plate, and put the jade chopstick, "But Master Hong said that he added some ingredients to it." ”
"Oh?" Hao Wuxuan walked into the pavilion and put down the porcelain bottle where the dew was stored, "What material?" ”
"Miss guess!" Jin Ling said.
Hao Wu took a small steamed bun and tasted it, closed his eyes and savored it......
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, "I can't taste it." ”
Jin Ling, who came over and waited expectantly for an answer, pursed her lips, sat down and watched Hao Wu eat for a while, and said, "By the way, Miss, when the slave maid passed by the Linxi Palace, I saw General Li again." Why did he choose to come to the palace when the prince was not there, and this time he shouldn't have come to trouble the young lady again, right? ”
Hao Wu's chewing movements froze, and he thought for a while and said, "You go and inquire about what General Li did when he went to Linxi Palace, and what did he say to Li Jin'er." ”
"Hmm!" After Jin Ling finished, she immediately went to the direction of Linxi Palace.
General Li left in a hurry less than an hour after going to the Linxi Palace, and did not even have lunch with his daughter.
Jin Ling heard from the tea maid in Linxi Palace: General Li brought Li Jin'er a box of flower cakes rewarded by the Queen Mother, and said some gossip.
"That's it?" Hao Wu asked.
Jin Ling nodded, and then said: "However, Li Jin'er has withdrawn them during this period, and I don't know what the two said." ”
Hao Wuxuan listened, and he didn't seem to have a clue.
But lately the atmosphere in the whole Imperial City has been strange, very quiet, a little eerily quiet, like the eve of a storm.
Chu Ye didn't return for seven days, and Hao Wuxuan's heart was empty, always worried about what would happen.
During this time, she also asked many guards in the mansion, but none of them knew where Chu Ye and Yu Jing went, and no one knew when they would come back.
What's going on in the Imperial City?
After lunch, Hao Wuxuan and Jin Ling went to the guard's room again to ask, but these guards didn't seem to know what was going on in the city.
Back in the hall, Hao Wuxuan was just about to grab a handful of melon seeds to replenish his brain, and found that there was something on the table at some point, which was a note pressed under the fruit bowl.
"Wu Luxury, Shuierzhuang outside the city, this king has something important to say-Ye."
Hao Wu frowned, "The note left by Chu Ye?" ”
After thinking for a moment, she took the note to the concierge and asked Chu Ye if he had ever returned home, and when she heard the news that he had not returned, she went to his study again, found the book that had been annotated by Chu Ye on the book case, and carefully checked his handwriting.
It's Chu Ye's handwriting, but why did he ask her to go to Shuierzhuang so remote outside the city? What was he going to tell her? Why can't I go back to the palace? And how he put the note in her room.
She asked Jin Ling to gather all the subordinates in the mansion to ask again, and then asked the guards in the guard room, and they all said that they had never been to the palace.
The two sprinklers of the temple also said that they had never seen anyone go in or out of there.
"Miss, we'...... Go? Jin Ling looked at the sky outside, this big night, the two women went out of the city to go to such a remote place as Shuierzhuang, which was a little crazy.
Hao Wu glanced at her extravagantly, and said lightly: "Go, go now." ”
A moment later, Hao Wuxuan, Jin Ling and the two palace guards drove out of the city in a carriage.
They had just left the house, and a maid sneaked out from behind the door of the house, looked outside the door, and saw them walking away, so they ran towards the Linxi Hall with small steps.
In the Linxi Palace, Li Jin'er heard the news that Hao Wuxuan rushed to Shui'erzhuang, and she giggled, her voice sounding a little gloomy.
"I'm in such a hurry to go to the underworld, I can't come back if I go!"
Ruzhu also laughed, "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, this thorn in the flesh is finally going to be removed!" ”
Li Jin'er turned to the tea she handed over, "You have made a great contribution to today's matter, and I will reward you well!" ”
"Thank you, master!"
The black clouds were treacherous, like the wind and waves, covering the moonlight like a wash, and moving forward with the carriage on the ground.
The carriage crossed the Sanlishan Road to the east and went all the way down to the high slope outside Shuierzhuang.
The high slope where they are located goes up to the west and breaks again, and it is called Jiulipo.
