Same late at night.

On the streets of Baihuaya, Qu Xiu was full of wine.

He stumbled down a dark path that he couldn't figure out where he could go.

Many people looked at him in secret, at his bulging purse, but finally gave up—the man's clothes were not only silk, but also trimmed with brownish gold thread.

It can be seen that this is not an ordinary nobleman, but a relative of the emperor.

For such people, taking the initiative to grab is taking the initiative to find trouble.

However, when encountering such a high-level drunk, people can follow and wait, and when he is dizzy and can't find the north, and falls asleep on the side of the road, go up and pick up a leak.

Sure enough, Qu Xiu continued to walk forward for about a twenty paces, and he looked around suspiciously, and the only remaining reason told him that this was not the place where he had ordered his servants to wait.

So he turned and turned back, and this time his left foot tripped his right, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground, and then lay there motionless.

The people who walked along his way almost held their breath - not dead, did they?

If this is dead, it is not good to get angry.

Just as everyone hesitated to get closer, Qu Xiu finally let out a cry, and he barely rolled over and lay on his back in the muddy water.

Seeing that the time had come, the people who had been lurking in the darkness came out one after another, and a shirtless young man rushed to the front, so fast that he almost left an afterimage, and took off Qu Xiu's money bag.

Jeweled wrenches, gold and silver belts...... Everyone gathered around Qu Xiu like a black tide, and when the tide receded, Qu Xiu was left with only a white middle coat - even the socks were taken off in the robbery.

However, he was completely unaware of this, and still lay on the ground snoring like thunder.

Not long after, a carriage drove into this narrow alley, and the driver saw Qu Xiu who fell to the ground at the end from a distance, and hurriedly exclaimed, "Xiao Ge Lao, I found it!" Got it! ”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Song Ne poked his head out of it, "Hurry up...... Go! ”

Several servants of the Song family rushed forward, helped Qu Xiu, who was already paralyzed, up from the ground, and half-supported and half-dragged him in front of Song Ne.

Qu Xiu was covered in foul-smelling muddy water, and as soon as he got closer, Song Ne couldn't help but cover his nose.

"Shall you get into the carriage now?" The young servant asked.

"Up...... Last fart. Song Ne frowned and said in disgust, "Lead...... Lead the horse, camel ...... Camel back. ”

……

The carriage quietly returned from the back door of the Song Mansion.

Qu Xiu bumped all the way on horseback, and as soon as he landed, he felt that his stomach was overturned, and he was helped to the courtyard by the servants of the Song family, so he stumbled a few steps and threw himself into the middle of the courtyard, pulled away a few lotus leaves on the octagonal porcelain jar, and vomited loudly with his neck stalked.

The courtyard suddenly smelled of fishy, sour and rancid wine—

"Ahh!!!h Lord Qu, Lord Qu, do you spit out!! ”

After a while, Qu Xiu finally opened his eyes a little soberly.

He looked around and found himself sitting in the middle of the reception hall of the Song Mansion, with two chairs and a desk in front of him, on which there were two cups of tea, but Song Ne was alone.

Song Ne didn't have to speak, he looked at Qu Xiu with a gloomy look, and that gaze clearly wrote, "You finally woke up?" ”。

The cold wind passed through his neck, Qu Xiu shivered, and he reached out to support his forehead.

"I ...... I am," he frowned, trying to remember what had happened tonight—some of the fragments were cut off, but he remembered a little bit of the footage, "how could I be here." ”

Song Ne whispered to the servant on the side, "Go...... Go and ask the master. ”

Liu Li took a step forward and said with a smile, "Lord Qu is really chic tonight, if it weren't for our Xiaoge old street by alley, you would probably have to sleep outside for one night." ”

"Drink ...... It's a bit much. Qu Xiu's already crimson face was a little deeper at the moment, he sat up straight, and looked at Song Ne in front of him with some doubts, "Brother Song, look for me tonight...... Something? ”

"Naturally, there are things, there are big things." Liu Li replied on his behalf, "Lord Qu wait a moment. ”

After a while, Song Bozong walked over slowly with the support of the maidservant.

His clothes were not fully dressed, just a tunics draped over his midcoat. Song Bozong's face was slightly angry, but he also looked more majestic than before.

Song Ne stepped forward a few steps and sat down with his father.

Qu Xiu was a little ashamed by Song Bozong's gaze, and he couldn't help but stand up, "It's rude, Song Ge ......"

"That's it." Song Bozong looked away, and he seemed to say to himself, "The matter is urgent, and we haven't discussed it with Lord Qu, so it is just as rude to bring Lord Qu directly to the mansion." ”

Qu Xiu's face changed suddenly, "It's okay for the elder to call the name of the junior—"

"Lord Qu." Song Bozong called again, "I invited you tonight, it's not that the elders invite the juniors, although you are young, you still have decisions in many things." Since we are going to talk about business, the old man calls you a Qu lord, you can afford it. ”

Qu Xiu was stunned.

"The emperor is already preparing for the canonization of the little prince," Song Bozong said softly, "The matter is very urgent, it should be at the end of May or the beginning of June...... The title has been thought of, King Qi. Does Lord Qu know about this? ”

Qu Xiu shook his head.

"It seems that the old lady didn't tell you." Song Bozong said softly, "I gave her this news ward a few days ago. ”

"Is there something wrong with Elder Ge?" Qu Xiu frowned and asked cautiously, "After all, the Ninth Empress Dowager is only ......."

"In extraordinary times, there are naturally extraordinary methods," Song Bozong raised his eyes and looked at Qu Xiu, his eyes were profound, "What the emperor wants to do, no one can stop it." ”

Qu Xiu inexplicably saw a murderous aura in Song Bozong's eyes, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he nodded yes.

“…… Until then," Song Bozong said softly, "The emperor will restore the official position of the Shaoqing of the Guanglu Temple of Lord Qu, this matter ...... The Ministry of Officials has already started to do it, and Lord Qu will receive the news in a few days. ”

Qu Xiu was stunned at first, and then happy, although he had tried his best to cover it up, this momentary reaction still made Song Bozong's heart a little unhappy.

But the old man didn't even move his eyelids, so he continued, "But what will happen in the future, has Lord Qu thought about it?" ”

Qu Xiu was still immersed in the good news of Fang Cai's heavenly arrival, and he didn't realize the deep meaning of Song Bozong's words at all, he smiled and bowed to Song Bozong, and said many polite and warm words one after another.

"Lord Qu ......" Song Bozong interrupted Qu Xiu's flattery in a low voice, he frowned slightly, "Now that the emperor's limit has dropped, what will happen in the future, have you thought about it?" ”
