"Jiujiu has always been powerful, and luck is better than Lone, if you can find it in front of Lone, Lone is no exception."

Xuanyuan Che smiled, and was not angry at her disrespectful words, on the contrary, if Zhu Jiu heard so much but didn't say a word to him, it would make him think more.

It's just that now, he believes in Zhu Jiu very much, if Zhu Jiu really wants the talisman, as long as she says a word, no matter what the price is, he is willing to take it for her.

"The location of the treasure is in Changyue Kingdom?"

Zhu Jiu ignored him, but talked to Li Chunyue and Rong Ruo about business.

The three of them gathered together to discuss a serious business, which made Zhu Jiu look like an empress, and Xuanyuan Che watched from the side, as if he saw her strategizing on the battlefield again.

At that time, she was still a majestic general, wearing black armor, wearing a red and bright cloak, and a red wind scarf tied around her snow-white neck, the same beautiful and sassy, although the face was different from now, but their expressions were the same calm and calm.

Xuanyuan Che lowered his eyes and secretly clenched his fingers.

Never, lose Zhu Jiu again!

After killing her once before, the hatred between them has all disappeared, and he no longer needs to face Zhu Jiu with the hatred of the past.

He wanted to ...... with her Be an ordinary couple and live a normal life.

Therefore, even if there are more women in the concubine, he will not take a second look.

And Li Chunyue and Rong Ruo had already dealt with this treasure hunt and the reception of the lord of Changyue on the eighth day of the new year, and the Ministry of Rites had already done a good job of investigating and greeting them, and the two of them also made a list of the countries they visited this time, which recorded the visitor's information in detail.

These things are more clear than what the Internal Affairs Office showed to Zhu Jiu, after learning that Jiuli came this time and actually brought an army of 800 people, Zhu Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he knocked on the table: "Who is the military general in charge of the defense of the capital now?"

Li Chunyue said: "Back to the queen, it is the captain of the Zhengwupin under the minister, and Luo Feng is in charge."

Rong Ruo glanced at him and added, "General Luo has a total of 3,000 men at his disposal, who are responsible for guarding the inner city of the capital, while the outer city is directly under the responsibility of the military department, and in addition, the Praetorian Guard in the palace under the control of your empress is responsible for guarding."

Praetorian Guard?

Zhu Jiu reacted and nodded in agreement: "It turned out to be the defense of the Imperial Palace, the Praetorian Guards were sent by me to the martial arts arena to practice for two months, but I forgot to release them, and let them practice there all the time, and after I went out later, I ordered them to return to their respective positions."

"Yes."

Li Chunyue and Rong Ruo both looked relieved, but fortunately, Zhu Jiu did not embarrass them in this matter.

Originally, this matter should have been said by His Majesty, but seeing that His Majesty left all the business behind as soon as he saw Zhu Jiu, I am afraid that waiting for him to speak will be as difficult as ascending to the sky.

It's better for them to take advantage of the time when they are discussing business with Zhu Jiu now, and directly put forward their demands faster.

After settling the matter, Li Chunyue and Rong Ruo retired, Zhu Jiu looked at Xuanyuan Che on the side, brought the list submitted by Li Chunyue to him, and asked, "Tell me, why did King An come?"

An Wang Baili Jin of Gaoxin Kingdom, he was actually on the invitation list at the eighth banquet of the first month!

Moreover, King An had already set off to Xuanyuan Country at least half a month ago.

But Zhu Jiu actually knew now, it was enough to see that this secret order was specially issued by Xuanyuan Che, and I am afraid that except for King An, the rest of the people on Gao Xinguo's side did not know that he was coming to Xuanyuan Kingdom for a banquet.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhu Jiu to have not received any news for such a long time, and there would be no clues from the Cinnabar Building.

Xuanyuan Che suddenly approached her, a handsome face suddenly enlarged, and those eyes were as bright as stars in the sky, clear and clean, with a warm smile like a spring breeze: "Let me stay in Changle Palace tonight, and I'll tell you."

"Hehe, you're still selling it to me."

Zhu Jiu looked at his face expressionlessly, straightened his cuffs, and then put down the list and went back to Changle Palace.

Xuanyuan Che looked at her back from behind and shook his head amusedly.

This girl.

Changting Palace, including Fang Pavilion.

"Beauty."

There is no owner in the Changting Palace now, only a Zhang beauty lives in the Hanfang Pavilion.

Originally, there were other concubines to live in this palace, but because Zhang Meiren gave the steward some silver, and the Changting Palace was originally relatively remote from the lively place of the harem, so naturally, no one could live in this place, and only one Zhang Meiren was left.

Although she is not the lord of the first house, in this place, she is no different from the lord of the first house.

The maid Luzhu stepped forward, took off her cloak, and took a hand stove for her to warm her hands, "It's late autumn, it's cold outside, you should come back earlier."

Although Lu Zhu is a palace maid in the palace, because of a high fever when she was about to die, it was Zhang Wan who rescued her, so she is now extremely loyal to Zhang Meiren and is also a pawn available in Zhang Wan's hands.

She snorted and held the stove in her arms, "Has the queen sent someone here?"

Lu Zhu thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No, it is said that after the palace banquet was dispersed, someone from the cabinet came to the cabinet and seemed to have said something to His Majesty, and it didn't take long for His Majesty to take the Empress to the Purple Pole Palace."

"These two people have such a good relationship, they are inseparable in front of so many people, and I don't know if Your Majesty will still rest at the queen's residence tonight?"

Rest at the Queen's residence.

Zhang Wan's eyes flashed with a calculating light, and she said to Lu Zhu: "You have done a good job, continue to stare at every move of Changle Palace during this time, and as for the new Tu Yu next to the queen, you should pay more attention."

"Yes," Lu Zhu nodded, put a meal for her, and looked at the reward she received today, and sighed with some emotion: "The queen mother is generous, I didn't expect Concubine He to be so generous today, and gave you a lot of good things."

She held a set of emerald gemstone heads in her hands, which were already worth a lot of money just on the market, and many princes and nobles couldn't get them if they wanted to.

This is what the palace treasury is, but when He Hongying was in charge of the harem before, she held great power, so she was greedy for a lot of oil and water from the treasury.

That is, Zhu Jiu doesn't care about these things, if she pays a little attention to them, then these things are not the oil and water in Concubine He's hands, but her life talisman.

Zhang Wan didn't dare to agree with her, and she was good friends with Concubine He, but she was just useful.

What's more, seeing Xuanyuan Che again today, she has completely determined that this person's mind is all on Zhu Jiu, and it is impossible for him to fall in love with a second woman again, let alone rain and dew.

Only those stupid women in the harem would be confused by Zhu Jiu, and really believed that Xuanyuan Che had them in his heart.

If you want to survive in this harem, you have to compete for favor.

And competing for favor, a woman like her, who has no family background, is the least likely to be regarded as an opponent.

Zhang Wan stroked her face in the mirror, and a cold smile gradually appeared in her eyes: "Wrap all the things that Concubine He gave me, and return them to Concubine He."

"Let's just say that this palace will always serve her."
