"Patriarch, the above is all the news that his subordinates got in the Chu State, you see?" Do you want to inform the emperor about Li Jicai?

The person who reported was Su Qing, and after he and Su Bei joined forces to bring the third prince of Yan back to Yan, he was still in charge of the affairs of Chu.

The current Yan State has stable national conditions, and Yan Chengli has successfully inherited the throne and is now the emperor of the Yan State.

It is a matter of course, although Yan Chengli himself does not want to be the emperor, but if he does not become the emperor, the Yan Kingdom will fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames, which the old emperor absolutely refuses.

It has been less than a year since he came back, and because the old emperor's health is no longer good, he was reluctantly put on the throne.

The position that others dream of, but Yan Chengli doesn't want it.

may be because he is used to staying in Chu State, that kind of stable and comfortable life makes him very satisfied, even if he is a petty official in the Hanlin Academy, his daily life is enough. This is much more comfortable than the deceit inside and outside the court.

Vena understands his thoughts, and naturally knows how to use them. He didn't want to seize the throne of Yan State, which violated the purpose of the Luo family all along, and he was the patriarch of the Luo family's generation, and his status was higher than that of the emperor of a country, and he didn't particularly care about the power of Luoshu.

Therefore, Luo Shu made a deal with Yan Chengli, if he could be the emperor well, he would take Li Jicai back after three years.

Originally, Yan Chengli thought that he should bring Li Jicai back immediately, and then find a place to hide her carefully.

However, Luo Shu told him that if Li Jicai was brought back, with her current strength, she would not be able to protect her at all.

Therefore, Yan Chengli, that is, the original Li Jiye, struggled for a long time before agreeing to Luoshu's idea.

But they also agreed that if anything happens within these three years, or when the right time comes, they will take Li Jicai back in advance.

But in the process, Vena must provide any movements of Li Jicai well.

Although Vena Shu has always promised very well, saying that he would tell Li Jicai if he had any accidents, in fact, Li Jicai had encountered so many things, and Vena Shu had not told Yan Chengli about one thing.

Because in Luo Shu's eyes, Li Jicai will not live for three years at all, and he will not give others any chance to threaten the emperor of Yan Kingdom.

The emperor will not have a weakness, even if he is a courtier, Luo Shu will wipe out this weakness.

Many people in Chu already knew that Yan Chengli returned to Yan and became the emperor. also knew that the emperor of their Yan Kingdom still had a relationship with Li Jicai, which was why Qi Qingchu never gave up on Li Jicai.

Other than that, that woman didn't have any other value at all.

And Vena has always believed in this. Until recently, the news from Su Qing made him feel a little surprised and a little puzzled.

Unexpectedly, this woman is still quite able to toss, according to Su Qing, the woman had already died in the fire, but she escaped by luck, it turned out that Jiang Xihu, the fourth prince of Chu State, saved her.

He was seriously injured, but he was still forced to pull back from the ghost gate. I have to say that she has a big life.

Then this Li Jicai actually followed the four princes to Liangzhou, where drought and cholera occurred, and he calmed down the bandits and treated the locust plague, and now he is about to be received by the emperor of Chu.

It's unbelievable.

When Luo Shu learned about Li Jicai from Su Qing's mouth, he knew that she was just an ordinary civilian woman, and there was nothing special about her, she was the maid who escaped from a large family at the earliest.

took the three princes all the way to become a beggar, ran to the capital to make a living, and became a vegetable seller, there is nothing worth paying attention to at all.

But who would have thought that she would be able to do such a thing? This was simply beyond Vena's expectations.

After listening to Su Qing's report, Luo Shu also hesitated. In fact, the relationship between him and Yan Chengli is the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but because Luo Shu supported Yan Chengli to sit on the throne, it is more or less presumptuous.

Should I tell Yan Chengli about Li Jicai?

From time to time, Yan Chengli would ask Li Jicai about her recent movements, and Luo Shu thought that she was perfunctory, saying that she was now being guarded and taken care of by Qi Qingchu, and there was no problem.

Yan Chengli was also convinced of such a statement, because he attached great importance to the agreement with him, so Luo Shu became a little hesitant because of Yan Chengli's attention.

"You go out first, let me think about this matter again, continue to monitor, and report any accidents in time."

"Yes!" Su Qing didn't dare to give Luo Shu advice, as a subordinate, he could only obey orders and dare not offend his master.

After Su Qing left, Luo Shu looked at the flickering candle flame on his desk, and his mind moved slightly.

He suddenly had an urge to meet this Li Jicai, after all, no one had been able to arouse his interest until now.

Although Vena has seen a lot of people, all kinds of people. But such a slightly strange woman, one of her movements, made him have to care.

Especially since she was able to protect Yan Chengli for three years under such a difficult situation, and she was also the only heir of the Chu State.

Luo Shu suddenly wanted to know what kind of expression Li Jicai would have if he knew Yan Chengli's true identity.

Su Qing said, it seems that Li Jicai doesn't know Yan Chengli's true identity until now.

Recently, government affairs don't seem to be very busy, and he doesn't seem to have been out for a long time.

Maybe it's time for him to think about going out and visiting for himself.

Moreover, in recent years, the state of Chu has shown a faint momentum of surpassing other countries, and in this regard alone, it is the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles. Luo Shu should also go to the state of Chu.

Anyway, since this is the case, he will tell Yan Chengli about Li Jicai, and then take the opportunity to visit.

Luo Shu understands that even if he leaves Chu State temporarily, Chu State will not be chaotic, and this Yan Chengli will not do anything under his nose.

After all, since he succeeded to the throne, he has always listened to his own words and behaved very well-behaved.

Although he did not show any outstanding political talent, fortunately he had a benevolent heart, and Luo Shu was still very satisfied with him.

The old emperor handed over Yan Chengli to him, which can be regarded as a kind of trust in him.

Vena will not seek the world of Yan Kingdom, there is no need. Even if he sat in the position of emperor, it would be of little use to him.

So on the whole, the relationship between Yan Chengli and Luo Shu has reached a very delicate balance.

Even if Yan Chengli is a little weaker, it doesn't matter. After all, he's fledgling now.

The flowers bloom in the night.

In the corner of the Vena room, dozens of pots are placed in the night. It is a rare flower that can only be found in the Yan Kingdom.

The leaves are long and green, and the open flowers have five petals, and they are all black, giving off a rich fragrance.

The reason why Vena likes this flower is because it grows low-key, it never blooms at night, it blooms undefeated in 4 seasons, and it only blooms for a short time, but the fragrance is very strong and lasts for a long time.

The fragrance of the solitary night has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating, which can soothe people's emotions and make people sooth.

In addition to dealing with political affairs, Vena's favorite thing is to deal with flowers.

Perhaps, the reason why he went to Chu in person this time has already been found.

Take a few pots of flowers to the Chu State to be a flower merchant!

It's already the end of the year, and after the New Year, it's almost time to set off.

At least what Luo Shu wants to do now, no one can stop him.

It was late at night.

It's also time to rest, now that the decision has been made, Luo Shu plans to go to Yan Chengli tomorrow, and then tell him about his plans, so that he and he can have a preparation in their hearts.

Of course, Luo Shu also wanted to know more about Li Jicai from his mouth.

After all, they are people who have lived together for a few years, and they must know each other very well.

Luo Shu had to say that he still had some doubts about the authenticity of the news that Su Qing brought back, and he doubted that in the Chu State, someone was deliberately manipulating everything?

Because it is impossible for a person to change too much in a short period of time, unless it has always been obvious before, if Yan Chengli's mouth is usually Li Jicai, it will be relatively more credible.

With such a question, Luo Shu untied the clothes on his body, then walked to the table, extinguished the candle, and went to bed to rest by the silver moonlight outside the house.

The next day.

When he entered the palace to meet Yan Chengli as planned, when Yan Chengli learned the whole story, he couldn't help but be angry at him.

So many things happened, Luo Shu actually hid it from him from beginning to end, didn't tell him, and deceived him.

This is definitely against what they agreed at the beginning, and Vena broke the contract.

Although Luo Shu explained very calmly, he just wanted him to govern the country well and not be distracted. However, Yan Chengli was still very dissatisfied with his concealment.

In order to appease Yan Chengli's anger, Luo Shu took the opportunity to propose that he would personally go to Chu State to see Li Jicai's recent situation.

After all, hearing is false, seeing is believing.

Only when he really saw Li Jicai's situation did he know what to do.

If the situation is okay, Luo Shu will bring Li Jicai back by the way.

As soon as he heard that it might be less than a year later, he would be able to bring Li Jicai back, Yan Chengli hesitated instantly.

Although he was really angry, he also saw Luo Shu's sincerity, and he even proposed to go to Chu State in person to see Li Jicai's situation. It shows that he also attaches great importance to this matter.

Because of this, Yan Chengli had to consider it carefully.

"You said that he was rescued by Jiang Xihu, the fourth prince of the Chu State, in that courtyard that day, is there any conspiracy of the four princes who want to use Li Jicai.

At the beginning, I knew that it was all thanks to his connections that he could successfully escape from the Chu State, but this did not mean that he could coerce me by controlling Li Jicai.

If you really want to bring Li Jicai back, then you can go. If not, then I'm going to have to go for myself. “

Yan Chengli also gave Luo Shu a set, if you want to go, you must bring people back, if you don't bring people back, he will go in person.

Choose one of the two.

If Luo Shu really didn't want him, the emperor, to take risks, then this time he would obediently go and bring Li Jicai back.

Luo Shu looked at Yan Chengli with burning eyes, in the golden hall, Yan Chengli smiled slyly, his eyes were full of pride, full of youthful innocence.

I really don't know whether to rejoice or worry.

As an emperor who has no city in his heart, it is a very dangerous thing for him to have all his thoughts on his face.

Yan Chengli didn't even live like he was before he was thirteen years old, at least before he was thirteen years old, he still knew how to calculate, how to protect himself, how to get the most benefits, and how to live in this deceitful court.

If there was no protection from Luo Shu now, Yan Chengli would have been eaten up by those tiger and wolf ministers a long time ago.

is close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, presumably Yan Cheng must have been influenced by her a lot when he stayed with Li Jicai.

"What kind of person is she?" Luo Shu did not respond positively, but turned around and asked about Li Jicai's personality.

Yan Chengli, who was originally very proud, couldn't help but calm down after hearing Luo Shu's question.

How long has it been, how long has it been since he remembered Lee Ji-chae.

The people of Chu and Yan don't look alike, and Li Jicai doesn't look like people from these two countries, although she looks ordinary and not very good-looking.

Sometimes she is very impatient, she doesn't listen to her, she is very stubborn, and often suffers silently, but treats him very well, gives him anything good, and treats him sincerely.

Never play tricks on the people close to him, cooking is delicious, and he values love and righteousness.

Sometimes it seems brainless, especially if a nymphomaniac sees something good-looking, he can't walk.

Like Qi Qingchu.

There are often all kinds of messy thoughts in my head, rude and unladylike.

Sometimes he is very uneducated, his manners are not elegant, he can play with any kind of person, he doesn't seem to have any concept of status, and he dares to call him a brother and sister to someone in the government, and he doesn't know how high the sky is.

Not like a woman.

All in all, it can be said that Li Jicai has a lot of words, and there are many things that can be seen on Li Jicai's body.

She's even an extremely complex person, a good guy and a bad guy. It's a villain and a gentleman.

But this is the kind of person who gave Yan Chengli infinite warmth in the life of fleeing at the age of thirteen, and those years gave him infinite warmth, which Yan Chengli could never forget.

He never regretted it, and he couldn't help but stretch out a hand to help her when she fled that day, so that later they had such and such bonds and became family-like beings.
