The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the salvage work on the shore of Jinshui Lake continues.

Xie Yunyan and Qi Chengan stared at the salvage work all day, fatigue eroding their brains, and both of them stared at the dark water.

At this time, a distinguished carriage not far away slowly galloped in.

Xie Yunyan and Qi Chengan were both slightly stunned, only to see a thin man carrying a food box and two pots of wine, smiling at the two from a distance in the carriage, carrying the wine jug in his hand, and signaling: "This king is not too late, right?" ”

Xie Yunyan hurriedly smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Kang brings wine, it's never too late." ”

Qi Chengan is also feeling tired, and he will not refuse to drink freely.

It's just that he was a little puzzled by King Kang's appearance, "Why did His Highness come here?" ”

As he spoke, King Kang had already gotten out of the carriage and slowly walked in front of the two.

He smiled slightly, and said to the two: "Actually, this king has something he wants to ask Lord Xie—"

"Oh?"

Xie Yunyan raised his eyebrows, took the food box and wine jug in King Kang's hand, and placed them on the lawn by the lake, and the three of them sat on the spot, without any shelves.

"Your Highness, please ask, Your Majesty will know everything."

King Kang poured a glass of wine for the two of them, hesitated, and still asked: "Yesterday, this king suddenly received a decree from his father, asking this king to go to court today-who knew that after going to court today, my father actually asked this king to choose one of the household and the ministry of work——"

"Then how did Your Highness choose?" Although Xie Yunyan hadn't been to the court for a few days, since King Kang's body had healed, it was normal for the emperor to have this thought.

Several princes all served in the court, but only King Kang -

King Kang shook his head with a wry smile, "My father said that he wanted this king to start training from the grassroots level, but this king didn't know anything about the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and even thought that it would be better to go to Dali Temple to be Lord Qi's subordinate, and it would be better to investigate the case or something?" ”

His so-called ignorance is not that he does not understand the system of the two institutions, but that he does not know where to start after entering it. Or rather, it is not known who is behind the allegiance of the two institutions.

Yes, I want to ask Xie Yunyan, who is his only friend in the court.

Qi Chengan hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "Dali Temple is a chore, His Royal Highness King Kang has just recovered from a serious illness, so it is better to be cautious." ”

Xie Yunyan also nodded one after another.

Just like the current situation, if King Kang is also in Dali Temple, then there will naturally be a share of King Kang for such a "good thing" as sleeping in Jinshui Lake today.

How could the emperor be willing to let the delicate King Kang suffer like this?

"Then how did His Highness reply to His Majesty?" Xie Yunyan asked.

King Kang shook his head with a wry smile, "To tell the truth, let my father give this king a few days, and this king will think about it and then reply to my father." ”

"Actually, His Majesty's intentions, His Royal Highness King Kang should know it all in his heart."

Xie Yunyan sighed faintly, the two institutions were the most stable in the court, and compared to an errand like Dali Temple, it was much easier.

The emperor should have ordered the household department and the ministry of work out because he didn't want King Kang to work too hard.

King Kang silently drank a glass of wine, "This king naturally knows his father's good intentions, so according to Lord Xie, where is it more appropriate for this king to go?" ”

Xie Yunyan also fell into deep thought, Hubu Shangshu occasionally had something to do with the three princes, on the surface, it should be the three princes' faction.

As for the Ministry of Works-

"Master!"

Xie Yunyan was still hesitating, and a hurried shout suddenly came from behind him.

Several people searched for prestige at the same time, and a guard from the Guogong Mansion hurriedly ran in the direction of Xie Yunyan.

Xie Yunyan's eyes sank, "Something's wrong?" ”

The guards looked around for a week, but didn't see Ning Shu's figure, and said hurriedly: "Madame is not with the master?" ”

Xie Yunyan dropped the wine glass, suddenly got up, his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, glared at the guard and asked, "Madame hasn't returned home yet?" ”

Guard: "No—"

Qi Chengan and King Kang also got up immediately and asked with concern, "Could it be that something has gone wrong?" ”

"No!" Xie Yunyan immediately shook his head in denial, he had already figured out Ning Shu's temperament, and he would never return home so late.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, but the official is out of company." He didn't have time to explain too much, and said goodbye to King Kang.

King Kang also nervously proposed: "Lord Xie go quickly, and the father will be told by this king." ”

"Thank you!" Xie Yunyan glanced at King Kang deeply, and then just wanted to say something to Qi Cheng'an, but Qi Cheng'an was already ready, and he took up his usual disgust for Xie Yunyan, and said seriously: "Brother Xie will look for Mrs. Xie on the way back to the mansion of Mrs. Xie first, and I will look for it on other paths." ”

"Thank you."

Xie Yunyan stopped procrastinating and left quickly.

Qi Chengan also arched his hand at King Kang and followed closely.

King Kang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't stay any longer, boarded the carriage and rushed to the palace overnight.

In his heart, he has already made a decision, let's go to the Ministry of Works!

……

Ning Shu was woken up by pain.

She felt a splitting headache and an irrepressible feeling of vomiting in her chest.

Slowly opening her eyes, she shook her head, forcing herself to wake up as soon as possible.

The room was so dark that there wasn't even a window.

Only a faint candlelight shone on the table in the distance, glowing with a faint orange glow.

On the side of the candlelight, the black-robed Great Elder sat quietly on his chair.

The snake-headed cane was standing on her right side, and the fingers of the fingers twisted with each other were stunned after seeing Ning Shu wake up, and said with a faint smile: "Mrs. Xie, are you awake?" ”

Ning Shu's consciousness fully recovered, she looked down at the rope tied to her body, even though she was at a disadvantage at the moment, she still asked contemptuously, "I don't know why the Great Elder arrested me?" ”

Before she fainted, judging from the abnormal anxiety of Vientiane Gu, she knew what poison she had in her body.

Although the Vientiane Gu is not invaded by a hundred poisons, and the Ten Thousand Gu are not afraid, they have no resistance to a low-level and ubiquitous Illusory God Grass unique to Miao Jiang.

She stared at the Great Elder with deep eyes, wondering if the Great Elder should recognize her?

The Great Elder smacked, and the shrill laughter was particularly eerie in the silent room.

She picked up the snake-headed cane and approached Ning Shu step by step, her eyes staring at Ning Shu tightly, as if she was looking at something in her hand, "The old woman is about to go back to Miaojiang, and seeing that Mrs. Xie is very in love, I want to invite Mrs. Xie and the old woman to go to Miaojiang together." ”

"What? A Huairou princess can no longer satisfy Miao Jiang's ambitions? Ning Shu sneered, not to be outdone, and looked at the Great Elder, "I'm an official wife, what effect does it have on you Miao Jiang?" ”

"No, no, no!" The Great Elder stretched out a short index finger and shook it in front of Ning Shu's eyes, and carefully explained to her: "The old woman may not be interested in Mrs. Xie's identity, but just you!" ”

"Me?" Ning Shu's heart jumped, could it be that the Great Elder noticed that she was carrying a Vientiane Gu?

The idea was then denied.

For some reason, Vientiane Gu today has grown a lot better than when she was still Wu Yue.

The Great Elders didn't notice it back then, so how can they know now?

"Could it be that the Great Elder wants to accept me as Miao Jiang's daughter-in-law?"
