Above the spring water pavilion, the breeze is not dry, the emperor is playing a game of chess alone, and Gao is standing aside to serve.

Shangguan Li served a cup of tea with her hands, and then wondered in her heart what the emperor was looking for her.

"Good tea."

The emperor sighed, but his eyebrows did not stretch. After a while, he said slowly.

"Shao Yang is willing to enter the palace?"

Shangguan Li's heart moved slightly, enter the palace? There was a hint of hesitation on her face that could be fake.

"Your Majesty, why is that?"

"Changle has not been in good health since he was a child, he used to recuperate in the suburbs, but now that he has finally returned to Beijing, I naturally don't want anything wrong."

The emperor leaned on the soft recliner and looked a little haggard.

Shangguan Li understood.

Feng Siyao probably didn't tell the emperor how close her relationship with Xuanyuan Ye was, she was afraid that the emperor would really think so, but directly fulfilled them.

That's why I used this excuse to pull her into the palace to stay, so that she and Xuanyuan Ye didn't get so close.

But it doesn't matter what Feng Siyao thinks, what matters is what the emperor thinks.

So she said quietly.

"If Your Majesty wants to let Shao Yang enter the palace, of course Shao Yang will not dare to disobey. It's just that there are many imperial doctors in the palace, and Shao Yang is better at detoxification than recuperating his body, can the safety of the princess really be handed over to me? ”

The emperor really hesitated.

Shangguan Li smiled slightly in his heart, but the expression on his face was a little panicked.

"If Your Majesty really wants to let Shao Yang enter the palace, it is better to let Shao Yang know what the princess's symptoms are first, so that I can get familiar with it earlier. Otherwise, it will not be easy to use medicine at that time. ”

Gao, who was silently serving on the side, said suddenly.

"The county lord is too humble, I heard that medicine and poison are not separated, you can detoxify, and naturally you can also use medicine."

Shangguan Li knew that this was what the emperor instructed him to say, and the purpose was probably to delay for a while. She humbled herself a few words with kindness, and then waited for the emperor to speak himself.

After a while, the emperor drank half a pot of tea, and finally said leisurely.

"Shao Yang and ordinary doctors can't be generalized, how can you let you enter the palace specifically for Changle."

After a pause, he changed his words.

"But what I ask you is, would you like to enter the palace?"

Shangguan Li was silent for a moment and answered truthfully.

"I don't want to."

That's a big disrespectful statement!

Gao immediately lowered his head in fear, as if he was afraid of being angered.

There was not much surprise on the emperor's face, he was half-lying down, holding a milky white chess piece in his hand.

"Why?"

"Shao Yang grew up outside the palace, and the bond was also outside the palace."

Shangguan Li's posture was very respectful, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

And although Shao Yang doesn't know much about the way of recuperation, he also understands the truth from the beginning to the end. Shao Yang's method may not be useful to the princess, and it may even harm her. If His Majesty is suspicious, he can summon the Imperial Doctor to inquire. ”

"I believe in you."

The emperor seemed to have finally thought of what to do next, and the white piece in his hand gently landed on the chessboard.

In an instant, the situation reversed.

Shangguan Li waited for him silently, but.

"But I have one condition."

Sure enough, the emperor did not suffer a loss, and he specially summoned her to get something from her.

Shangguan Li maintained a perfect smile.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Now there is a person in a post station in the capital who is poisoned, and he will die of poison in a few days. You go and see, and let him be safe in five days. ”

The emperor glanced up at her, and a dazzling light flashed in his eyes.

"If Shao Yang can do this, this matter will be over."

The corners of Shangguan Li's mouth twitched.

As the days progressed, Gao sent Shangguan Li outside the Chunshui Pavilion again, and handed her a thick envelope by the way.

"Everything the county lord should know is inside."

Gao smiled again and said kindly.

"The county lord walks slowly."

Shangguan Li reached out and took the envelope, nodded at him, and then turned around and left the palace.

Seeing her leave, Gao You, still with that smiling expression, returned to the emperor's side. At this moment, he didn't know how many pieces he had fallen, and the sunspots on the chessboard were already in a desperate situation.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is good at chess."

The emperor hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, which can be regarded as a sycophant from him.

He asked as he pondered where to go next.

"Do you think Shao Yang can understand my intention to let her do this?"

"Your Majesty treats the county lord very well, the county lord will definitely understand."

"Really?"

This time Gao didn't answer, he knew that the object of this question was not him. It could be some long-dead ghost wandering in Miyagi.

"I hope so."

Shangguan Li left Miyagi, got into the carriage and opened the envelope.

Inside was a map and a letter, which recorded the location of the person whom the emperor had asked her to keep her life for five days. The letter contains the man's basic information.

Shangguan Li was stunned for a moment when he saw the name.

Her finger paused at the three words of Chisokin, foreigner?

The emperor's order is also a little strange, to save his life for five days, but what about after five days? And were the foreigners who lived in the inns envoys from some country?

Thinking about it, she sighed.

The emperor personally gave the order, and it seems that the matter here can only be solved first.

She lightly slammed the door of the car door from the inside.

"Go to the Horse Walking Station."

"Okay!"

After turning out of Suzaku Avenue, the carriage drove onto the road to the Zouma Station, which was not far from the Imperial Palace, and after a few moments, Shangguan Li arrived at the place.

She jumped out of the carriage.

"Stop!"

This post station is indeed a place where the envoys live, and the guards at the door are extremely keen, and Shangguan Li was stopped as soon as he approached.

"Present the document ......"

Shangguan Li took out the token given to her by the emperor, the guard's voice stopped abruptly, his face immediately changed, and he said respectfully.

"It turned out to be someone sent by His Majesty, what is the matter with your Excellency?"

She brushed the veil off her face and said lightly.

"I want to see Chisokin."

"Please."

The guards gave her the way, and someone inside immediately greeted her and showed her the way.

Shangguan Li asked as he walked, about how he was poisoned, and what kind of poison he was.

But the person who led the way didn't know anything, and just said hesitantly.

"These little ones don't know very well, so you might as well go in and see for yourself, adults."

There is not much difference between this post station and the next one, that is, the area is a little smaller, and the environment is more quiet.

The person she was looking for lived deep in the compound.

Far away, Shangguan Li smelled a smell of medicine. It smells like the smell of the residue that has been used for many years and starts to produce a chemical reaction when it is piled up.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard, the person who led the way stopped.

"The road ahead needs to be walked by himself, and we can't touch him outside of the necessary time."

Shangguan Li nodded lightly on the surface, but he was a little curious in his heart.

Increasingly, she felt that the people living here might not be ordinary foreigners.
