The tortoiseshell shook slightly, but didn't say anything.

On the other side, Wang Lang arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, and saw Tuoba Yue staring at a portrait of a portrait, he had already gotten used to it, and stepped forward and curtstoed: "I heard that Gonggong Fu said that His Majesty summoned his subordinates-"

Tuoba Yue snorted, and then ordered: "Tomorrow, when Zhao Yancheng returns to Beijing, you will arrange the things in your hands and go to Cuishan with me." ”

Wang Lang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Your Majesty, the weather is not hot now, how can you remember to go to Cuishan?" ”

Tuoba Yue didn't answer, but just glanced at Wang Lang, Wang Lang hurriedly leaned down and said, "My subordinates have trespassed." ”

Tuoba Yue didn't pursue it, just continued to stare at the picture scroll, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, go down and prepare." ”

Who knows, Wang Lang didn't move, Tuoba Yue noticed his abnormality, so he frowned and asked, "What?" But what's the matter? ”

Wang Lang gritted his teeth, settled his mind and said earnestly: "The subordinates do have one thing to ask Your Majesty to fulfill, and the subordinates - the subordinates want to ask Your Majesty for marriage-"

Tuoba Yue came back to his senses, put away the scroll in his hand very carefully, and then smiled: "Oh? Tell me, which girl got into your eyes? ”

The look on Wang Lang's face was not relaxed, and he muttered for a long time before he whispered: "Yes-it's the tortoiseshell beside Concubine An-"

Tuoba Yue's hand moved, and the smile on his lips faded a little, Wang Lang seemed to know Tuoba Yue's thoughts, and said busily: "Your Majesty, your subordinates know that you don't like Concubine An, but--but the tortoiseshell is innocent, she hasn't been with Concubine An for a long time, and there is nothing wrong with Concubine An after entering the palace, why don't Your Majesty open your heart, after all-after all-"

He knew some of the entanglements between Xiao Nai and He Xi, but he didn't know very well, so all along, Tuoba Yue's indifference to Xiao Nai, in Wang Lang's opinion, was because of He Xi.

He admired He Xi in his heart, but since people have gone, don't living people have the right to live? Why do you stay stuck in the past?

Tuoba Yue's eyes gradually continued to be gloomy, and there was a chill in his eyes when he looked at Wang Lang, Wang Lang stopped his mouth, but he also stiffened his neck, unwilling to give in.

The two were at such a stalemate, Fuqing was shocked to see it, a layer of fine sweat appeared in his palms, seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward to play a round and said: "Your Majesty, since the king likes the tortoiseshell girl, why doesn't Your Majesty be gracious and let the tortoiseshell girl out of the palace, after all, the palace maid will be sent out of the palace after the age of twenty-five, and the tortoiseshell girl is now twenty-two years old, and it is not impossible to leave the palace early - when the time comes, the slave will choose a clever one from the internal affairs office and go to Jiaxi Hall to serve Concubine An-"

Wang Lang frowned, the tortoiseshell didn't say that he didn't want to serve by Xiao Nai's side, although there are rules in the palace, the palace maid can be released from the palace after the age of twenty-five, but the tortoiseshell is like this, if she finds a guard to marry, it is not impossible to stay by Xiao Nai's side to serve.

It's just that he suddenly made up his mind in his heart, leaned down and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to fulfill it-"

Fuqing breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that Wang Lang insisted on letting the tortoiseshell continue to serve in the palace, but fortunately, his mind was quite flexible, so Tuoba Yue could also take advantage of the situation to change a group of people around Xiao Nai.

However, Tuoba Yue's expression was a little faint, and a layer of sweat appeared on Wang Lang's forehead, and he finally heard Tuoba Yue's unhappy and angry voice: "You can find a day to take the tortoiseshell out of the palace." ”

Wang Lang's heart was relieved, Tuoba Yue finally agreed, and he wanted to lean over to thank him, but he heard Tuoba Yue say: "Let the rain and snow go with me tomorrow——"

Wang Lang was almost stunned, his back stiffened, Fuqing shook his head with some regret, Wang Lang finally didn't say anything, and retreated.

Fuqing followed and gently closed the door of the palace, Wang Lang saw Fuqing come out, and reluctantly smiled and said, "What does my father-in-law want to say?" ”

Fuqing stood still and asked puzzledly: "For the sake of a woman, the king does not hesitate to offend His Majesty, is it worth it?" ”

Wang Lang clenched his fists tightly and asked rhetorically, "Isn't Your Majesty also for a woman?" ”

Fuqing didn't seem to react to who Wang Lang was talking about, and said after a while: "You—alas—since the king has made a decision in his heart, the slave won't talk much, but the slave wants to remind the commander that not all people can be trusted." ”

Seeing that Wang Lang bowed his head and was silent, Fuqing didn't say much, got up and went back to the Heart Cultivation Hall to serve.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yancheng entered the palace to report on his work, Zhao Yancheng knelt on the ground, and said guiltily: "The subordinates are incompetent, they didn't find out the truth about the Gu poison, and they didn't bring the rain and snow back." ”

Fuqing's eyes turned red in an instant, he turned his back, wiped the corners of his eyes, and Tuoba Yue said, "Did you encounter danger on the road?" ”

Zhao Yancheng nodded and said: "Someone was assassinated on the way, and even Zhou Qiang, who was with him, was also murdered." ”

As he was talking, he saw Wang Lang coming in in a hurry, and Fuqing hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Commander Wang, there is no summons from His Majesty——"

Wang Lang shook off Fuqing, walked straight in front of Zhao Yancheng, and said loudly: "What's the matter?" Why didn't the rain and snow come back? ”

Zhao Yancheng made a bitter face and said: "Commander Wang, Commander Wang, you calm down, this-I don't want to, but I encountered an ambush on the road, and he - he-"

There was a mess in the hall for a while, Tuoba Yue looked at it coldly, and suddenly he threw the music in his hand to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Lang, this is the Palace of Heart Cultivation, you are too presumptuous!" ”

Zhao Yancheng didn't expect Tuoba Yue to reprimand Wang Lang in court, you know, Wang Lang is an old minister who followed Tuoba Yue, even with Zhang Minyuan and others, although Zhang Minyuan is only a household servant, but no one in the court knows that this household servant is His Majesty's henchman, and even himself, a scholar, is now empty and has no real power.

But now, Wang Lang seems to be alienated by His Majesty.

Zhao Yancheng accompanied the smile, Wang Lang didn't seem to expect Tuoba Yue to reprimand himself like this, he was also stunned, and then his face swelled purple, and let go of Zhao Yancheng waiting aside.

Tuoba Yue glanced at Zhao Yancheng quietly, and then asked, "Do you know who is coming?" ”

Zhao Yancheng shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's just that this mutual market, Xiliang found out that it was done by their people in collaboration with people from Mobei, as for the origin of this group of people, the minister doesn't know." ”

Tuoba Yue sighed with interest, and then asked, "Since it may be for the mutual market, why did you just kill two guards and stop?" ”

Zhao Yancheng's face was ugly, he knew that Tuoba Yue would not believe such a statement, but he investigated, what was the origin of Zhou Qiang's group, he didn't find out, he looked at Wang Lang quietly, only to see that his face was full of anger and self-blame, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, that group of people came for Yuxue, and Yuxue and Zhou Qiang's life experience, he asked Peng Yu, Peng Yu didn't know.

But these two people are both under Wang Lang, is it possible-

He made up his mind and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate." ”

Tuoba Yue glanced at Wang Lang, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Lang, this matter, let you deal with it, after I come back from Cuishan, I hope to get a satisfactory answer——"

Zhao Yancheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, after everyone withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wang Lang wanted to hurry up to investigate the affairs of Yuxue and others, Zhao Yancheng saw that there was no one around, and immediately caught up and pulled Wang Lang aside, Wang Lang saw that he was mysterious, and his heart became more and more confused.

Zhao Yancheng said in a low voice: "Commander Wang, there is one thing that I didn't tell Your Majesty clearly, but I think it is necessary to tell you." ”

Wang Lang didn't expect Zhao Yancheng to have such courage to dare to hide it from Tuoba Yue, but the stakes were so high, so he had to urge: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Yancheng said with some embarrassment: "Among the guards who sent people, there is a man named Zhou Qiang, you need to carefully investigate his identity." ”

Wang Lang was a little puzzled and said, "What do you mean by this, my lord?" ”

Zhao Yancheng patted Wang Lang's shoulder without saying a word, and left without saying a word.

On the other side, the news that Tuoba Yue was leaving the palace and going to Cuishan reached Jiaxi Hall at once.

Xiao Nai was furious, she picked up a book casually, smashed it on the palace people who came and went, and scolded: "Why do you only tell this palace now?" ”

The little palace maid was beaten, and she didn't dare to cry out in pain, but she just shrank and said: "The slave maid also inquired, saying that this time His Majesty didn't even tell Concubine De, and only took Gonggong Fu and a few guards with him, and left the palace." ”

Xiao Nai's chest continued to rise and fall, and the tortoiseshell stepped forward in time, handed Xiao Nai a cup of hot tea, and said softly: "Your Majesty really didn't tell anyone this time, and even Wang Lang was not on the trip to Cuishan. ”

Xiao Nai frowned and said, "How come?" Wang Lang is His Majesty's most trusted person, although the trip to Cuishan is hasty, but it is inevitable that there will be guards by his side, how can Wang Lang stay in the palace? ”

The tortoiseshell waved her hand, and the little palace maid kneeling on the ground understood, and hurriedly got up and retreated, Xiao Nai hurriedly said, "What happened?" ”

The tortoiseshell said with joy on her face: "Originally, the slave maid asked people to bring a message to Wang Lang today, but the messenger said that Wang Lang is afraid that he will not have time recently." Say there's a case to investigate—"

Xiao Nai muttered: "There is a case to investigate, but what is the matter?" ”

The tortoiseshell leaned closer, and then said: "Although the slave doesn't know what the case is, the slave and the maid heard that Zhao Yanchen, the master of Shangshu, has come back from Xizhou today. ”

Xiao Nai couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes and said, "This case was handed over to Wang Lang for investigation?" ”

Tortoiseshell nodded and said: "If the slave didn't guess wrong, it should be handed over to Wang Lang for investigation, but our hands and feet are clean, and Zhou Qiang is dead without proof, don't worry, you can't find us, even if you find out, can he still bear to let his son go to prison——"

Xiao Nai's hand unconsciously probed into the tortoiseshell's lower abdomen, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, this child is really at the right time-"
