Looking at Yue Nu's smiling face, Jiang Qingyue's mood suddenly eased a lot, and she smiled slightly: "If I have a chance in the future, I really hope to take you to the capital for a walk, you haven't had a good time in the capital this time, right?" ”

"No, this is my first time going far away," Yuenu said honestly, "The capital is really big, and it is also very lively, unlike me Tatar. ”

"Aren't you Tatars lively?" Jiang Qingyue asked puzzled.

Yue Nu tilted her head and thought for a moment, and then said: "It's not that it's not lively, but it's not so lively," after a pause, she continued: "The streets are full of people, and everyone is well dressed, unlike us Tartars, in winter, many people may freeze to death......" At the end, her tone couldn't help but be lowered.

The Tatar environment has always been harsh, and Jiang Qingyue has also heard of it, which is also the reason why the Tatars have been violating Dajing.

Jiang Qingyue was silent for a moment, and then said: "I regret that you Tatars have suffered because of the harsh environment, but this is not the reason why the Tatars provoked the war, because of the Tatar invasion, the people of Dajing have also suffered from the invasion of the war, and countless good men have died on the battlefield, and they are also their sons, fathers, and husbands." ”

Yue Nu opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when suddenly a Tatar guard broke in from outside and said something to Yue Nu in Tatar, Jiang Qingyue didn't understand, but Yue Nu's face changed, and he immediately picked up Jiang Qingyue and walked out.

Yue Nu walked out of the inn with Jiang Qingyue in his arms, Jiang Qingyue looked back, it should be the pursuers sent by Zhou Rui'an who discovered them, they were found and evacuated urgently.

Tuoba had probably been prepared, and soon the Tatar guards led the pursuers in three ways, and the moon slave drove the carriage out of the city, and Jiang Qingyue saw that they seemed to be running in the direction of Nanshan in the crack of the window that was shaken open in the carriage.

The moon slave drove the carriage fast, the moon slave was bent on getting rid of the chasing soldiers behind, the chasing soldiers seemed to be fooled, and there were fewer and fewer of them, the moon slave just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly Jiang Qingyue rushed out of the carriage behind him.

The moon slave was startled, and hurriedly reined in the carriage, she looked at Jiang Qingyue who suddenly rushed out with a shocked face, she rushed directly towards the moon slave, and before the moon slave could react, Jiang Qingyue had already controlled the reins, she controlled the carriage, slowed down the speed of the carriage, and immediately threw the moon slave out of the car.

The moon slave rolled around on the ground, raised his head, and saw Jiang Qing driving the carriage farther and farther.

The effect of the medicine on Jiang Qingyue's body has passed! When she delivered food to Jiang Qingyue just now, Jiang Qingyue didn't eat it! Running away in a hurry, the effect of the medicine on Jiang Qingyue's body weakened, and she was allowed to escape!

The change happened only for a split second, and it was too late for the Tatar guards to catch up.

Jiang Qingyue drove the carriage all the way, panicked, let the cold wind blow on her face, she was frozen all over, the messy branches scraped on her face, cutting her skin, she felt more and more physically exhausted, her eyes were confused, and finally couldn't help but fall off the carriage.

Liu Min and Su Yiming chased after the Tatar guards and stopped in frustration.

Liu Min was so angry that he couldn't help but raise his hand and slap the head of his subordinates beside him: "What do you want you to eat?" You can't catch anyone! ”

The subordinates lowered their heads, not daring to distinguish.

Su Yiming looked at Liu Min and said, "Commander Liu, it seems that our direction is right, Qingyue is indeed in Liuzhou," after a pause, he continued: "It's just that I'm a little strange, since Tuoba Gang has already captured Qingyue, why don't you take her back to Tatar, but take a lot of trouble to come to Liuzhou?" The Liuzhou army is stationed, and he can't escape at all! ”

Liu Min said indifferently: "That's what General Su should worry about, our task is to find Jiang Qingyue and bring her back safely." ”

Su Yiming frowned faintly, he naturally knew that he couldn't convince Liu Min, Liu Min had followed Zhou Rui'an for many years, and made great contributions to Zhou Rui'an's accession to the throne for the emperor, and he was very valued by Zhou Rui'an, Liu Min was very arrogant, he just wanted to complete the task given to him by Zhou Rui'an, and he naturally didn't care so much about other things.

But Su Yiming is different, what he has to consider is the safety of Liuzhou and the purpose of Tuoba just coming to Liuzhou.

Su Yiming thought for a while, and then said: "What Commander Liu said is very true, I just want to rescue Qingyue, I'm afraid it's not so easy, if my grandfather can send troops to help find Qingyue, it should be of great help to find Qingyue." After a pause, he continued: "After all, nothing is more important than Qingyue's safety now. ”

This is true, Liu Min nodded, and did not hesitate: "Okay, then we will go to see General Su!" ”

The two of them rushed to the barracks with the men and horses of the Jinyi Guard, it was almost the New Year, according to Su Liangyi's habits, he would stay in the barracks and follow the soldiers for the New Year.

When the two arrived at the barracks and told Jiang Qingyue about it, Su Liangyi naturally did not discooperate, and sent a lot of people to find Jiang Qingyue.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve, no one had a good time.

At this time, Jiang Qingyue was in the dense forest of Nanshan, after she lost consciousness, she was thrown out by a horse, and her leg was injured, and when she woke up, she was lying alone in the ice and snow, cold and unconscious.

Jiang Qingyue dragged her cold and aching body, and finally lit a fire, she leaned against the big tree exhausted, raised her head, and looked at the moon in the sky.

She didn't know how long it had been, but she remembered Chinese New Year's Eve night last year, when she was still sitting with Zhou Rui'an, Lin Zheyuan and others drinking and singing, but now they are separated......

This year is the first year that Zhou Rui'an has been on the throne, but he lost Jiang Qingyue.

This eventful year of Chinese New Year's Eve seems destined to be an eventful year.

For Liu Min in Liuzhou, Chinese New Year's Eve was no different, and he couldn't let his guard down until he found Jiang Qingyue.

Just when everyone in the city was looking for Jiang Qingyue, a rumor came from the capital that Su Liangyi's only granddaughter, Su Xiaorou, died of a violent illness in another courtyard in the capital!

"Have you heard? The granddaughter of General Su is the eldest girl of the Su family who died in the capital! ”

"Ouch, it's really pitiful, I heard that I haven't married yet! How majestic she used to be, no one dared to mess with her in Liuzhou City! ”

"I heard that Miss Su didn't actually die of a violent illness, but was killed by someone!"

"Who is so bold? Dare to harm the granddaughter of General Su? ”

"Who could it be? That's the one! The old general Su has a high merit, which master can tolerate it, poor Su family girl, she doesn't know what she did wrong, so she became a victim. ”

When the news of Su Xiaorou's death came back to Liuzhou City, it happened to be the fifth day of the first lunar month.

Liu Min's subordinates hurriedly found Liu Min, who was looking for Jiang Qingyue, "My lord, it's not good!" Something is wrong! ”

Liu Min was expressionless, now for him, the sky had fallen, and no matter how big something happened, he would not be surprised.

"What's the matter?"

"Su Xiaorou is dead!" The subordinate said solemnly.

Liu Min, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard and the head of the intelligence system, naturally knows the kinship of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and when he heard the name Su Xiaorou, Liu Min was still shocked.

"When did you die? How did he die? Liu Min immediately asked.

"I died on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, but I was only discovered on the first day of the new year, and I died of a sudden illness, and Miss Su sent the people around me away at that time, so there was no one around." The subordinate immediately said.

Su Xiaorou herself is not important, but she is the only girl in the three generations of the Su family, so she has been favored by the Su family since she was a child, and now Su Liangyi is still stationed in Liuzhou, but his granddaughter died in the capital, how can the emperor explain to Su Liangyi!

Liu Min's heart suddenly froze, he immediately turned around, and was about to go to the general's mansion, after a pause, he suddenly thought of something and glanced at his subordinates: "You go and check, who spread this news!" A glint flashed in his eyes: "Now in the middle of winter, the road from the capital to Liuzhou is so far, but the news of death spreads so quickly, there must be something wrong here!" ”

The subordinate responded with a fist, turned around and left.

Only then did Liu Min walk towards the General's Mansion.

At this time, the general's mansion also got the news, and Mrs. Su fainted directly from crying, and the gloom of the mansion was bleak.

Liu Min found Su Liangyi and Su Yiming, Su Yiming's eyes were red, but Su Liangyi was tired and sad.

When Su Yiming saw Liu Min, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Liu Min knew immediately, and the Su family also suspected the emperor.

Thinking of this, Liu Min immediately said: "Old General Su, little general, listen to me!" After a pause, he continued: "The emperor attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and General Su has the grace of supporting the emperor, Miss Su's death is definitely not the emperor's doing!" I'm afraid there is another hidden story in this matter, the old general and the little general don't want to fall for the thief, let the relatives hurt, and the enemies are happy! ”

Su Yiming glared at Liu Min and was furious: "It's a fact that my sister died in the capital!" Do you think that another hidden sentence can clear up the relationship? The king of a country can't even protect a woman! After a pause, he sneered and said, "Also, Jiang Qingyue is lost, not to mention my sister!" ”

Liu Min's face changed suddenly, these people have always blindly worshiped and defended Zhou Rui'an, and now when they hear people accuse Zhou Rui'an like this, they are all indignant in their hearts, but now is not a good time to anger the Su family.

Liu Min said patiently: "The little general is cautious! ”

"Naru'er!" Su Liangyi spoke at the same time: "Don't be disrespectful to the emperor!" ”

Su Yiming's face was filled with righteous indignation, obviously not being persuaded by Su Liangyi.

Su Liangyi glanced at Su Yiming warningly, turned his head and looked at Liu Min: "Lord Liu, Ming'er also loves his sister, if something like this happens, he feels really uncomfortable, and he is sad and angry for a while before he speaks wildly, and he has no disrespect for the emperor, please forgive Lord Liu!" ”

Su Liangyi's attitude was quite correct, but Liu Min was not at all reassured, he was worried that Su Liangyi said that it didn't matter on the surface, but he put his dissatisfaction with Zhou Rui'an in his heart, afraid that it would be more troublesome.

"Old General Su, please mourn! The emperor will definitely investigate this matter, no matter what the cause of Miss Su's death is, the emperor will give the Su family an explanation! Liu Min said solemnly.

Liu Min had to express his attitude for Zhou Rui'an, otherwise it would definitely cause the Su family's dissatisfaction, what he could do now was to temporarily appease, and then wait for Zhou Rui'an's instructions, he believed that it would not be long before Zhou Rui'an would take action.

At this time, Zhou Ruian was in the imperial study, his face was full of frost, according to the original plan, he was going to Liuzhou to find Jiang Qingyue in person, Su Xiaorou's death disrupted all his plans.

Guan Youwei is telling Su Xiaorou the news of her death: "Preliminary judgment, the cause of Miss Su's death was cardiac arrest, from the appearance, the deceased did not have the slightest external injury, and the body did not react to poisoning, it should be a sudden unknown disease and died." After a pause, he continued: "The deceased may have had a dark illness before his death, and suddenly received some external stimulus, so it caused the disease and led to death. ”

After Guan Youwei finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Rui'an cautiously, he was extremely dissatisfied with him because of Chen Baobao's matter some time ago, and he also knew in his heart that he didn't really want to find death, so he had been very low-key during this time, trying not to attract Zhou Rui'an's attention.

Luobei, who was standing next to Guan Youwei, glanced at Guan Youwei in the afterglow, but sighed in his heart.

Zhou Rui'an opened his mouth and said: "This is the result of the investigation of Dali Temple? ”

Guan Youwei had a bad premonition in his heart, and then he heard Zhou Ruian sneer: "Do you know? Su Xiaorou's body was discovered on the first day of the first month, and there was news in Liuzhou on the fifth day of the first month! But in just four days, the news reached Liuzhou, and now you tell me that it was just an accident? ”

Guan Youwei was also secretly surprised in his heart, but this matter is really no wonder Guan Youwei, after Liu Min heard the news, he immediately used the channel of Jinyiwei to transmit the news, and sent the news back to Zhou Ruian as soon as possible, so Zhou Ruian knew that there were rumors in Liuzhou at this time, but Guan Youwei did not have such a source, so he naturally did not know the inside story.

"The emperor forgives the sin, but judging from the corpse, Su Xiaorou's death is indeed a sudden illness, but if there is another hidden secret, I am afraid that an autopsy will be required to determine the exact cause of death." Guan Youwei said respectfully.

Zhou Ruian sneered: "Are you going to tell me now that you are going to dismantle Su Liangyi's favorite granddaughter?" Good! Go tell Su Liangyi yourself! ”

Guan Youwei stood silently, but Luo Bei glanced at Guan Youwei and hurriedly reminded: "Lord Guan, until now, are there any suspicious people?" Or who was the last to see Su Xiaorou? ”

Guan Youwei immediately said: "If you go back to the emperor, it was the Chinese New Year when the case happened, Su Xiaorou has a noble status, many people have come to visit her, the minister has investigated, and among the visitors who came to see Su Xiaorou, and had a conflict with Su Xiaorou, one of them is indeed very suspicious," After a pause, he looked at Zhou Rui'an: "It's Chen Baobao." ”

Zhou Rui'an's brows furrowed fiercely, he had heard this name a little too many times recently.

Zhou Rui'an's eyes flashed.

Chen Baobao was soon brought into Dali Temple, Guan Youwei personally interrogated her, the two are also old acquaintances, Guan Youwei's impression of Chen Baobao has always been that this is the emperor's favorite princess, and later learned his identity, insisted on recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors.

It's just that now Guan Youwei looks at Chen Baobao again, but he feels that this girl is a little too unfathomable.

Chen Baobao looked at Guan Youwei innocently and calmly, without the slightest nervousness.

Guan Youwei asked Chen Baobao some questions, and Chen Baobao's answer was quite calm and fluent, until Guan Youwei asked Chen Baobao's purpose of going to see Su Xiaorou, Chen Baobao's eyes flashed, but he couldn't speak.

Guan Youwei was shocked, and said coldly: "This official advises you to tell the truth, you are a girl's family, and this official doesn't want to torture you yet!" ”

"Back to the adult, I went to see Su Xiaorou, in fact, it was actually because of ......" Chen Baobao said, his expression was a little shy: "My lord should also know that I used to admire the emperor and have a deep love for the emperor, and recently there are some rumors circulating in the capital that Su Xiaorou is likely to enter the palace and become the imperial concubine, I, I went to find her because I was jealous." ”

Chen Baobao said, seemingly a little embarrassed: "In addition, I also hope that Miss Su can help me...... Adults also know that I am only a civilian woman now, and it is absolutely impossible to see the emperor, so I thought about begging Miss Su, hoping that she could help me in the past. ”

Guan Youwei raised his eyebrows: "Past love? ”

Chen Baobao nodded, "Adults also know that when I used to be with the abolished queen, the abolished queen was very kind to Miss Su, and I also had a few encounters with Miss Su, which is considered a little affectionate, so I thought, if Miss Su can help me, maybe I can also have a chance......"

She didn't say it completely, but it was enough for people to understand that Chen Baobao went to ask Su Xiaorou for Zhou Rui'an.

Su Xiaorou has been in and out of the palace a lot recently, and there have been rumors outside, saying that Su Xiaorou has entered the palace so frequently, and her reputation has been damaged, and Zhou Ruian has to accept her as a concubine even if she is reluctant, otherwise how to explain to the Su family?

Guan Youwei snorted coldly and scolded angrily: "What nonsense! Since the deceased is going to enter the palace as a concubine, and the woman is jealous, how can she help you and let you enter the palace together to get close to the emperor? After a pause, he said coldly: "You must be obsessed with Miss Su and want to enter the palace as a concubine, but Miss Su is unwilling to help, so you are the killer!" ”

"My lord! The people are wronged! Chen Baobao immediately called out: "The folk girl is just a weak woman, then Su Xiaorou is the daughter of the general, and she also learned kung fu from her father and brother, how can the folk girl hurt her?" Please be aware of it! ”

Guan Youwei frowned, Chen Baobao raised his head, and said with a somewhat provocative look in his eyes: "Lord Guan said that the people's daughter killed Su Xiaorou, please come up with evidence!" Otherwise, the people will not recognize it! ”

Guan Youwei looked at Chen Baobao coldly, as if he really recognized her at this time, he suddenly thought of one thing, Chen Baobao used to be arrogant and domineering, making everyone think she was brainless, but everyone forgot that Chen Baobao had the favor of Emperor Xuande at that time, she didn't need to play tricks, she could already get everything, but she was born in the harem since she was a child, and she saw a lot of selfish methods, she didn't understand, but she didn't need to do it before.

Now she needs it.

Chen Baobao saluted: "If the adults have nothing else to do, the folk girl will retire." ”

Guan Youwei couldn't, he really had no evidence to prove that Chen Baobao had killed someone, so he had to let her go, but Guan Youwei sent someone to keep an eye on Chen Baobao and always pay attention to her movements.

When Zhou Ruian heard Chen Baobao's performance in the lobby, he couldn't help but be a little thoughtful.

When Luo Bei saw Zhou Rui'an's expression, he couldn't help asking, "What did the emperor think?" ”

Zhou Ruian said lightly: "When Qingyue's life story was rumored before, I suspected Chen Baobao, and I also asked Liu Min to stare at her, but then Qingyue had an accident, and Jinyiwei was transferred away by Liu Min, and Chen Baobao also relaxed his vigilance, but I didn't expect that it was at this time that something happened." ”

Zhou Rui'an's eyes flashed with a gleam, he always felt that these things were interlocking, and every step seemed to be deliberately guided by someone.

Zhou Rui'an thought of Jiang Qingyue, whose whereabouts are now unknown, and his heart was even more anxious, his patience had been declared exhausted, he originally planned to go to Liuzhou to find Jiang Qingyue in person as soon as the New Year was over, but he didn't expect Su Xiaorou's death to stay with him.

Zhou Ruian couldn't help but be shocked when he thought of this, could it be that the purpose of the person behind the scenes was to let him stay? What if you don't let him go to Liuzhou?

The thought flashed through me.

Zhou Ruian looked at Luobei: "Is there any news of Qingyue?" Is there any news from Liu Min? ”

Luo Bei hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, there is no news yet, but Lao Liu said that General Su's mood is quite stable, even if Su Xiaorou's matter happened, Su Yiming had a lot of complaints, but he was appeased by General Su, and he spared no effort to find his son, and please rest assured." ”

Zhou Rui'an's brows frowned slightly, and finally sighed and said, "In the end, he is an old man who has followed his father and knows how to take care of the overall situation." After a pause, he continued: "You let Guan Youwei investigate as soon as possible, even if you can't find the murderer, you have to find out to me how Su Xiaorou died!" ”

"Yes!" Luo Bei responded, but seeing Zhou Rui'an's frowning, he couldn't help but say, "The emperor is worried about the son?" ”

Zhou Ruian nodded: "There have been too many things that have happened recently, and I always feel a little uneasy in my heart," after a pause, he continued: "When Su Xiaorou's case is over, I must go to her in person!" ”

Luo Bei sighed, and did not open his mouth to persuade Zhou Rui'an, in fact, Zhou Rui'an can endure it until now, Luo Bei already feels incredible, if it was before, Zhou Rui'an would probably have run to find Jiang Qingyue a long time ago, where would he endure it until now?

Because now that his identity has changed, it's not that Jiang Qingyue is not important, but that Zhou Ruian has more responsibilities and helplessness.

For Zhou Rui'an, this is a kind of torment, right? can't do what he really wants to do, it's just that there is good news from Liu Min's side, let's get Jiang Qingyue back as soon as possible, Luobei really misses Jiang Qingyue at this time!

However, neither Luo Bei nor Zhou Rui'an would have thought that Jiang Qingyue, who was being looked for by them, was in dire straits in the dense forest of Nanshan at this time.
