At noon, when the restaurant was busy, Jiahuan, the chef, would not leave easily.

Li Laosan is dozens of miles away, and he won't come back if he has nothing to do......

Jiayin didn't want her sister-in-law to follow suit, so she said a few words, so she found an excuse and asked her to prepare two boxes of snacks for herself, and take them with her when she returned to the palace in a while.

Wan'er hurried to get busy.

And they sat down together, and while they were eating, they discussed the matter of borrowing grain.

Although each family has children and grandchildren in the Northern Expeditionary Army, in the final analysis, the interests of the family come first, and it is impossible to sacrifice too much for one child or grandchild.

Therefore, if he wants to lend money and food smoothly, Li Yong has to go to the emperor and ask for a hand, plus Li Lao Er to come forward together.

In this way, if the army comes forward, the emperor appreciates it, and the Li family endorses it, each family will be willing to borrow grain.

After discussing it, Jiayin carried the snack box and quickly returned to the palace.

In order to cultivate the relationship between his future son-in-law and daughter, the emperor previously set the first and fifteenth days of each month to allow Lu Zong to enter the palace, accompany the third princess to have a meal, and visit the garden.

Hearing that Jiayin was back, the third princess was worried about it, and immediately let people lead Jiayin to the garden.

Jiayin saw that Lu Zong was also there, so he remembered the matter of going on a date in the palace, so he smiled and said, "Oh, it's unfortunate that I came back, and I delayed the big event." ”

The third princess blushed, pinched her white and tender face, and said angrily, "When you find a husband in the future, I will laugh at you too." ”

Jiayin waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile, "I don't know how many years it will be, I'm not afraid!" ”

After that, she asked Shui Ling to open the box and share the snacks brought by the family with the third princess and Lu Zong.

Lu Zong smiled faintly, raised his hand to pour tea for Jiayin, and asked, "Counting the days, Brother Li should be in office, right?" Can you send a letter home? ”

Jiayin shook his head and responded, "I haven't received the letter yet, the road is far away, so I guess it's delayed." But the eldest brother has always been careful, so he doesn't have to worry too much. ”

Lu Zong nodded, and said, "Sending Brother Li away that day, he entrusted us with taking care of you more." If there is something in the future, just send someone to find us, and don't be polite. ”

"Don't worry, Brother Lu. I will definitely not trouble you if I have something! Jiayin smiled and leaned on the shoulder of the third princess, "In the past, you were like my own brother, and in the future, you will be my brother-in-law!" ”

The third princess's face turned even redder and reached out to tickle her.

Jiayin hurriedly begged for mercy, laughing wildly.

Lu Zong also laughed when he saw it on the other side, lowered his head and took a sip of tea......

After a few jokes like this, Jiayin will go back to Zhilan Palace and make way for the two.

Lu Zong said goodbye first, "It's not early, I'll go back first." I'll see the princess next time...... and the county lord's sister. ”

The third princess was a little reluctant, pinching the corner of her clothes and said, "Shizi sit for a while, I let people stew dessert, Shizi eat a bowl and then leave?" ”

Lu Zong smiled apologetically and replied, "I'm sorry, princess." I don't know, you deliberately stewed dessert......

"Yesterday I made an appointment with a friend to go to his birthday banquet tonight, when I first arrived in Xindu, he helped a lot, I can't shirk it......"

"Ah, then you really don't want to be absent, hurry up. Next time, you can eat dessert with me. The third princess hurriedly took the conversation away, and urged Lu Zong to hurry to the banquet with understanding.

Lu Zong smiled gently, bent down and saluted, then nodded with Jiayin, and left.

The third princess also returned to Zhilan Palace with Jiayin, talking about how good Lu Zong was all the way, showing that a heart had fallen completely.

But Jia Yin listened to it with a smile, always a little distracted.

When the third princess found out, she asked, "Are you worried about Master Hou and your father?" ”

Jiayin came back to his senses and responded, "You also know about the destruction of military rations?" ”

The third princess nodded, "After you left this morning, there was a rumor in the palace, and then Lu Shizi came and said a few words to me."

"I don't know who made the poison, it's so hateful! I hope that my father will find this person and cut him with a thousand knives. ”

Jiayin wanted to find the person behind the scenes more than her, so she said, "These days, you have to help me go to the imperial study more often." Even if you can't see Uncle Huang, you can hear some news. ”

"Don't worry, this is a small matter, I don't need you to say it, I will also help." The third princess nodded vigorously, and then hugged her to comfort, "Don't worry, the Northern Expedition is related to the unification of the north and south of Tianwu, I don't know how many people are in a hurry and bothering to work hard." Military rations, it will definitely be solved soon. ”

Jiayin sighed, I hope so......

The entire Tianwu is now like a huge vortex, once it rotates, it can only get faster and faster, and the exposed black hole is getting bigger and bigger.

No one can predict when it will calm down......

After dark, after eating, Jiayin went back to the side hall early under the pretext of having a headache, and then let the little fox out, and he kept waiting.

Sure enough, at the third watch, the window was pushed open.

Mu Jue jumped in in embarrassment, took the teapot directly and poured it up.

Jiayin didn't say a word, and hurriedly gave him food.

In the warm cage of hot tea in the corner of the house, there was warm millet porridge and more than a dozen meat buns, all of which were served on the table, and Mu Jue ate three or four in one breath before speaking.

"Don't worry, it's not serious."

Jiayin gave him a new tea, nodded and replied, "You eat first, no matter how anxious you are, it won't be bad for a while." ”

This morning, when she was about to go home from the palace, she didn't see Mu Jue's shadow.

She thought that he was delayed, but when she went home and heard that something had happened to the military rations of the Northern Expeditionary Army, she immediately guessed that he probably heard the news last night and ran to investigate.

Sure enough, Mu Jue was full of food and drink, so he carefully explained it to her.

"On the fifth watch, an urgent secret report was sent from the riverside, and the emperor was in the palace of the concubine, so it was inevitable that he would move more. I felt something was wrong, so I secretly went over and listened.

Then I made another trip to the riverside pier, and I also searched all over Kyoto. ”

He gasped, his eyes that had been bright in the past were a little dim, and he was obviously tired.

"This thing is very strange, it is indeed not the hand of Shoukang Palace, several of her dogs, who have the ability to do things in the army, are very honest. Presumably they were also wondering who was the first to do so.

"But the impact of this incident is extremely bad. The great victory of the Northern Expedition, the recapture of Jiangbei, and the unification of the country and the country, such a splashing of merit is like a fat pig, surrounded by wolves, and everyone wants to share a piece of meat.

"Now that some wolves have begun to move, it is like a signal that more wolves will join in the future. You can get away with it once, but no one can guarantee that it will be safe every time......"

Jiayin's face was not good, he raised his head to indicate the direction of the imperial study, and said in a low voice, "Am I wrong, I don't think that person is too attentive." ”

Mu Jue also frowned, the smile that often hung on the corner of his mouth was long gone, and it was replaced by unprecedented solemnity.

"I thought I was the only one. Thankfully, you think so too. The man couldn't say that he didn't care, he ordered a thorough investigation and re-collected military rations, and he did it. But it's just a decent one, and you can't make mistakes. And just if you can't find a mistake, it's actually a mistake! ”

Jia Yin nodded, finally feeling a little more relaxed in his heart.

She doesn't want to think of people in sinister places, but sometimes she has to.

This is a heavy burden on her heart.

Fortunately, there are still people who think like her.

"Brother Mu, we will live in the palace in the future. My father-in-law and my father are out on the march, and we can't help them, but at least we have to do our best to make sure that they don't have to suffer from the enemy.

"Whoever wants to be detrimental to them, I will not allow it.

"So, no matter what happens to us in the future, at least this time, I hope you can fight side by side with me, and never lose up!"

Jiayin stretched out her hand, Mu Jue lowered her head, her eyes swept over her green fingers, and shook it without hesitation......
