Sikong Ao stood in front of the carriage with his hands in his hands, slightly tilted his head, he couldn't open his eyes from the sun's thorns, he looked up at the plaque carved from golden silk nanmu above his head, his face did not change, but the fingers behind him were hitting the palm of the other hand very rhythmically.

"Lord Wang." Seeing that the sun was getting higher, there was no movement at all at the open thick door of the Dehuai Palace, and the little guy behind Sikong Ao came closer.

"But do you want the slave to ask the county lord why he hasn't come out yet?"

Sikong Ao raised his palm slightly and slowly shook his head. "Just a little longer."

Sikong Ao calmed down, and waited for another cup of tea, although the expression on his face did not change, but the little guy had been following him for a long time, and naturally noticed that his fingers that kept beating were gathered together at some point, clenched into fists.

The little guy looked at the words for a while, took a step forward and went straight up the steps, and talked to the guard at the door for a few words.

Sikong Ao's attention was attracted by the sound of galloping horses, he turned his face slightly, his eyes fell on the man's face, and his brows were unconsciously fixed in one place.

The man stopped in front of Sikong Ao, turned over and dismounted neatly, and immediately leaned into Sikong Ao's ear and whispered a few words.

"What did you say?" There was a moment of surprise on Sikong Ao's face, and he glanced at the man. "Is this information accurate?"

The man furrowed his brow and nodded calmly. "It's true, the informant replied, saying that he saw that the prince had sent a lot of people into the Zhao Mansion."

Sikong Ao couldn't help but glance at the Dehuai Palace, his lips were slightly pursed, and after a pause, he raised his hand slightly to take the horsewhip that the man respectfully presented to him, and said in a deep voice.

"So I sent a message to the lord of Qinghuang County saying that this king has something to do today, and he will make an appointment another day."

......

"Father, it's okay now, Yun Zhen will send someone to apologize to King Zhennan this time." Yun Zhen bowed slightly, and said tentatively.

"No need." King Dehuai stopped her, paused, glanced at Liu Qiqi who was standing on the side, and then opened his mouth to explain. "Previously, the king of Zhennan had already sent someone to the ward, but there was an urgent matter in the mansion, so he would go first."

"You invited Dr. Liu to come, so you can send Dr. Liu out of the house this time." After King Dehuai said that, he glanced at Yun Zhen deeply, and the deep meaning between the words was self-evident.

Yun Zhen smiled lightly and nodded. "Yun Zhen knows."

"Aunt Ye is very weak now, so I still listen to the doctor's advice, so I can recuperate, and it's not too late to make plans for some things in the future."

Aunt Ye couldn't hear the deep meaning of Yun Zhen's words, her lower lip trembled slightly, and she took a deep breath before she spoke. "Thank you, Lord Princess."

She deliberately paused once in a sentence, and if it weren't for someone with a heart, she wouldn't have heard it at all.

Yun Zhen's chin lifted slightly, and she left with confidence.

"Doctor Liu, please." Yun Zhen led the way.

"The county lord is very polite." After Liu Qiqi greeted King Dehuai, he followed Yun Zhen step by step and went out of the room.

"I'm tired of Dr. Liu today." Yun Zhen smiled lightly and paced slowly.

Yun Zhen didn't go faster, because of her identity, Liu Qiqi would never dare to walk in front of her, hearing Yun Zhen's words, she just shook her head and said. "This time I have fulfilled my duty as a doctor, and the county lord is polite."

Liu Qiqi paused hesitantly, but still opened his mouth and said in an accentuated tone. "The grass people are here today only for the sick."

The implication is that she will never wade into the muddy waters of the deep mansion of Dehuai Palace.

Seeing that Liu Qiqi knew each other like this, Yun Zhen was very satisfied and said a few kind words.

Yun Zhen's footsteps slowed down again, and then she asked casually. "I've heard of Dr. Liu's name for a long time, but I didn't have a chance to see each other, but today I saw it at first sight."

When Yun Zhen slowed down, Liu Qiqi knew that she had something to say, and in the face of such praise, she didn't answer, but smiled lightly, waiting for Yun Zhen's next step.

"The county lord has heard a lot of rumors about Dr. Liu." Yun Zhen tilted her head slightly and looked at Liu Qiqi.

"I heard that Dr. Liu's voice is prominent, is it a branch of the famous Liu family?"

Yun Zhen kept staring at Liu Qiqi's face, obviously realizing that when she talked about the famous Liu family, the smile on her face lingered for a moment.

The corners of Liu Qiqi's lips hooked up a slightly mocking smile, and he smiled faintly. The county lord laughed.

"This willow is not another willow, it is just a grass people, how to climb the name of the Liu family."

Yun Zhen's eyes flashed slightly, and when she heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, revealing the topic.

No matter what Yun Hao said, Liu Qiqi always looked light, nodded and smiled in an undeniable manner, and spoke in a measured manner.

Yun Zhen couldn't help nodding secretly, only to feel that this woman was smart and tight.

When turning a corridor, Liu Qiqi suddenly sped up a little pace, moved forward slightly, and walked in front of Yun Zhen.

The plain white brocade in her arms fell to the ground, Yun Zhen's footsteps paused slightly, and before she could react, Liu Qiqi blocked her way.

In a corner that no one else could see, she took out an object from her sleeve and stuffed it into Yun Zhen's hand.

Yun Zhen was surprised, but she still reacted very quickly and entered her arms.

Sending Liu Qiqi out of the back door without saying a word, Yun Zhen slowly returned to the room.

"County Lord." Weiming was waiting in the room early, and when he saw her coming back, he hurriedly greeted her.

Yun Zhen replied casually, walked to the back of the desk and sat down, and immediately took out two cloth bags, one large and one small, from her arms and put them on the table.

After examining it with her eyes, Yun Zhen took the slightly smaller cloth bag, and looked closely, the slightly smaller cloth bag was a sachet with a budding lotus embroidered on it, if Qiu Er was here, he would definitely be able to see that this sachet was exactly the same as the previous one, no different.

Yun Zhen took a pair of scissors, cut out a small opening in the sachet, poured out all the spices inside, and took a closer look.

Sure enough, I found that inside this sachet were just ordinary spices.

As for why Qiu Er hadn't refuted that the one containing the medicinal herbs was not hers before, it should be as Aunt Ye said, this sachet was bought by Zhou Yang from outside to please Qiu Er.

What was in it, Qiu Er didn't know what was in it, and in a panic, he forgot to take a closer look at the sachet that Yun Zhen took out to see if it was original.

In addition, Yun Zhen didn't give her a chance to react at all, so she pressed Zhou Yang up, Qiu Er thought that this sachet was Zhou Yang's hands and feet, for fear of disaster Zhou Yang, so she admitted it, but she never thought that Zhou Yang was a shameless villain.

I just want to push everything to her.

"County Lord." Seeing that Yun Zhen was in deep thought, Wei Ming stepped forward with great eyes and casually picked up the spices on the table.

Yun Zhen pondered for a moment, felt very puzzled, and couldn't help asking. "That Zhou Yang's identity, but has it been found out?"

Unnamed nodded. "It's just a gangster in the north corner of the city."

"According to Zhou Yang's own confession, it was said that someone gave him money more than a month ago to let him contact Qiu'er."

"At first, Qiu'er shouldn't have known that Zhou Yang had done something to her, but then Qiu'er realized that something was wrong, and was half-forced and half-coaxed by Zhou Yang before he compromised."

"A month ago?" Yun Zhen's brows twisted slightly.

More than a month ago, Concubine Jing Fang just followed King Dehuai into Kyoto for the first time, and she didn't even know the environment in Kyoto, how did she know how to find a gangster and start with Qiu'er?

Concubine Jing and Aunt Ye have been fighting with each other for so many years, and they have no way to take Aunt Ye, how can they suddenly open their minds as soon as they enter Kyoto?

Let's not talk about this, she and Concubine Jing only met two or three times.

Concubine Jing heard what others said, how could the absurd deeds done by the county lord of Qinghuang in the past pinch her death hole so accurately?

Do you also know that you will send someone to hook Xu Ziming, who is not brainy, and stopped her car on the street so that she can't get off the stage?

If Concubine Jing really had such a deep scheming, it would be impossible for her to be so embarrassed by her joining forces with Aunt Ye today.

The more Yun Zhen thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was very strange, her eyes flashed slightly, and she instructed. "Send someone to keep an eye on Concubine Jing."

Weiming was slightly stunned, not quite understanding that Concubine Jing had been disgusted by King Dehuai, what was Yun Zhen doing with such a painstaking stare at Concubine Jing this time?

Although Weiming was very hesitant in his heart, he didn't ask and answered. "Yes."

Then I heard Yun Zhen speak again. "Let's go and check carefully, if Concubine Jing has cousins in Kyoto."

Weiming was slightly stunned, noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly arranged it.

Yun Zhen picked up the spices sticking to her hands, and then took the other one, which was the cloth bag that Liu Qiqi forcibly stuffed into her hand.

The cloth bag is cut from the most ordinary cotton and linen, and there is no cumbersome pattern embroidered on it, only a vague word is outlined on the top, and it can be vaguely seen that it is a larger seven-character character, and the purse only contains a letter.

I think this purse is used by Liu Qiqi to hold medicinal herbs.

When Yun Zhen spread out the letter, she could smell the faint medicinal fragrance on the letter.

The handwriting is engraved with a delicate style and bones, and the handwriting is very eye-catching, Yun Zhen's fingers shook slightly, and he instantly knew who wrote the letter.

Her eyes couldn't help but be puzzled, how could Liu Qiqi have anything to do with him?

Yun Zhen's lips were pursed, and she wanted to put the letter away directly, but when she glanced at it, she suddenly saw the word Gongsun, and she unconsciously stared at it.

After reading the letter silently, there was a trace of complexity and consternation in her eyes.

She originally thought that Gongsun Xi's death was because Li Jingrui was ruthless, and he must have nothing to do with him, but she didn't expect it.

Gongsun Xi really fornicated with someone, he didn't think that the man was a responsible person, he left Gongsun Xi and ran away, Gongsun Xi was pregnant, and he didn't know who he was instigated by when he was at a loss, but he wanted to find a big wrongdoer.

pondered and pondered, and chose Hua Yunxiu's body.

In front of this matter, Li Jingrui deliberately sent someone to draw Gongsun Xi's attention to Hua Yunxiu, thinking that he was using this to destroy the relationship between Hua Zijing and King Dehuai.

Unexpectedly, after Hua Zijing found out, he immediately let Gongsun Xi commit suicide.

Yun Zhen pressed the letter paper on the table with her backhand, stunned.

She only realized now that after eight years of getting along, she had never seen Hua Zijing at all.

What she thought was a silent teenager turned into a wolf cub who single-handedly planned to erase herself, she closed her eyes, put her fingers together, and crumpled the letter into a ball.

After a long time, she opened her eyes, and the cold light in her eyes kept churning.
