The sky turned white, Luo Qingzhi drank the medicine, lay on the bed, and closed her eyes peacefully after the decoction took effect.

Gao Zhen, who was in the same hospital, didn't sleep all night, he opened the door, sat in the hall, looked at Luo Qingzhi's room, and did not relax for a moment.

As soon as the effect of the medicine passed, Luo Qingzhi woke up, she struggled to get up, still dizzy, almost fainted again, she steadied herself, got up, and poured herself a cup of tea.

The envoy who happened to come in shouted in surprise: "County Lord, are you awake?" ”

Such a sound also alarmed Gao Zhen in the diagonal room, and he immediately got up and came to Luo Qingzhi's room.

Luo Qingzhi raised her eyes and glanced at it, and said to the female envoy on the side: "No one told the county lord about last night's incident." ”

"No, sir."

"Okay, you go and call Luo Chen."

"Yes, County Lord."

After the female envoy left, Gao Zhen immediately stepped forward and helped Luo Qingzhi to sit on the bed again.

Seeing that Gao Zhen was still wearing the same clothes as last night, Luo Qingzhi thought that he should have not slept all night.

"Go back to your room and rest, I'll be fine." Luo Qingzhi said.

Gao Zhen squatted on the side of the bed, lowered his head, exhaled deeply, as if he had made up his mind, and then slowly raised his head, looked at Luo Qingzhi, firmly, and said: "Ah Luo, I don't know what happened last night, but I will always be with you, and I will do whatever you want me to do." ”

Luo Qingzhi repeated Gao Zhen's words, whispering, "You can do anything...... Is it? ”

Gao Zhen nodded, his eyes earnest.

Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "Okay, I know, Luo Chen is coming, I want to discuss things with him." ”

As soon as Gao Zhen left for a while, Luo Chen arrived, Luo Qingzhi was neatly dressed at this time, her hair was pulled up high, although she was a little energetic, but her face was still haggard.

The two sat on both sides, and Luo Qingzhi asked, "Is the news from Yuzhou coming?" ”

Luo Chen handed over the letter and said, "It's an hour, Mr. Fan doesn't allow us to disturb you, master, so ......"

"It's okay, has Mr. Fan seen it?" Luo Qingzhi said and took the letter.

Luo Chen shook his head and said, "No." ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "Then you go and invite Mr. to the study, and I'll be there in a while." ”

Luo Chen didn't answer, and said cautiously: "But, but...... Mr. said let you recuperate. ”

Luo Qingzhi said lightly: "Since you listen to Mr. Fan so much, then you can follow him in the future." ”

“...... The subordinates will go and ask for the gentleman. ”

A quarter of an hour later, the study in the house.

Luo Qingzhi walked towards Fan Li and made a big salute, but Fan Li stopped him and asked, "General, what does this mean." ”

"Master, I am not saluting as General Anning, but as Luo Qingzhi."

Hearing this, Fan Li didn't stop anymore, waited for Luo Qingzhi to finish saluting, helped her up, and sat on the seat before slowly asking, "Ah Luo, what's the matter?" ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "That year, I just returned to Yuzhou, and you asked me how I wanted to go in the future. ”

Fan Li seemed to be thinking about it, and after a pause, he nodded and said, "That year, you told me that you didn't want to follow the path of your father and brother, nor did you want to follow the path of the Gao family, but wanted to follow your own path....."

“...... Yes, I've always wanted to go my own way. Luo Qingzhi said, looked at the jade jue on her waist, and continued: "I don't like to fight, and I don't want to participate in party struggles, I originally wanted to keep Yuzhou well, no matter who the Gao family or whoever comes to be the emperor, I will be alone......

Fan Li sighed and said, "The master naturally knows you, but you are not only Luo Qingzhi, but also the head of the Luo family in Yuzhou, the guard general of Yuzhou, and even more ...... She is the daughter of Luo Huaiyi, the king of Pingbei. ”

Luo Qingzhi lowered her head and said, "These ten years...... I know, the master is also angry with me, you keep calling me a general, I know, you want me not to forget the Beifu Army at all times, don't forget my father. ”

Fan Li didn't answer, it was a tacit acquiescence, Luo Qingzhi continued: "Master, I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten ......"

"I know." Fan Li's eyes were distressed, and he said: "You have been stubborn since you were a child, you don't like to talk about your own thoughts, and you like to carry anything you encounter, and the master still remembers that when you were young, you broke the porcelain vase of the prince, and would rather sell your jewelry yourself and buy a touch of the same back, rather than ask for help from others." ”

Luo Qingzhi chuckled and said, "I'm too naïve, too naïve......"

"At that time, I had just returned to Yuzhou and had just taken charge of the Beifu Army, and they said that I was a woman, stepping on the bones of my father and brother, and I waited for this supreme position."

Fan Li said sharply: "They are red at you, nonsense." ”

Luo Qingzhi shook her head, her tone was indifferent, and said, "No, no, master, what they said is true." ”

Fan Li frowned, Luo Qingzhi stabilized his thoughts, and said: "Yesterday, I saw General Li Chu beside my father, and he told me that back then, my father was not stabbed to death by some pawn, but by His Majesty with a sword in the chest. ”

Fan Li took a breath and said, "Everyone back then was dead, but it would be General Li Chu's words." ”

"This General Li Chu and his father are friends of life and death, and he will not coax me, and after entering the palace last night, he tested His Majesty, he, he avoided it." Luo Qingzhi said.

Fan Li took Luo Qingzhi's hand and said, "Ah Luo, then, what do you think now?" ”

“......”

Luo Qingzhi looked at the picture hanging in the study, and said: "Your Majesty has been a good emperor in the past ten years, reducing taxes, cultivating fertile land, changing salt policies, and balancing the family......

Fan Li nodded, knowing in his heart that Luo Qingzhi was hesitant, he said: "Ah Luo, it's okay, do whatever you want, just do it, the master is here." ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "I don't want to wronged him, and I can't let my father's death be unclear, I will find out about this matter, if it is true......"

"If true?" Fan Li asked.

Luo Qingzhi was silent for a while, her eyes were firm, and she said, "If it's true, then ...... Those who are not in the right position should not sit upright in the hall. ”

With a decision, Luo Qingzhi summoned Luo Chen in.

"Master."

"You go to Mingfeng Tower, bring General Li Chu to the mansion, and take good care of it."

"Yes."

After instructing Luo Chen, he summoned Qin Shu again.

"When the palace changed, Li Chu could live, maybe there were other people who lived, you check."

Qin Shu had never seen Luo Qingzhi so calm and so detached, so it was rare to salute very formally and said, "Yes." ”

After all the orders, Luo Qingzhi's face was a little burnt, and when Fan Li saw this, he immediately said: "It's ordered, just wait for the news, go back to the room and rest quickly, Ah Luo, it's just the beginning." ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded obediently and returned to her room.

As soon as she lay down, the female envoy brought a new decoction, and Luo Qingzhi began to feel sleepy after drinking it.

"Father, what should I do......"

It began to rain again outside the house, and in a daze, Luo Qingzhi heard a hurried knock on the door. Wake up, get up and open the door.

Luo Chen was covered in blood, and his right hand was hanging on one side, as if it was broken.

"Master, master, subordinate...... General Li Chu is dead......"

Luo Qingzhi's eyes were full of shock and asked, "What?" What's going on? ”

Luo Chen said: "The subordinates took the general into the carriage, and just drove out of Liuli Lane, a group of black-clothed people poured up all around, and the subordinates did not check, and underestimated the enemy, I didn't expect that at the foot of the imperial city, there were people openly robbing people in the blue sky and daylight." ”

Luo Chen knelt down and said, "The subordinates can't parry, the old general was pierced through the heart by a sharp arrow, and he didn't say anything." ”

“......”

Luo Qingzhi immediately said: "What about the people who patrol the battalion? ”

"No, no one from the patrol battalion showed up." Luo Chen replied.

Luo Qingzhi clenched her fists, suddenly thought of something, and said sharply: "It's not good, Qingshanjun." ”

She was about to instruct Luo Chen, but seeing his injury again, she hesitated for a few moments and asked, "Qin Shuke is back." ”

"Nope."

Luo Qingzhi turned around and went back to the house, put on her coat, took her sword, and hurried out the door.

Gao Zhen heard the noise and urgently followed.

When Luo Qingzhi rushed to Mingfeng Tower, she heard Qingshanjun's shout, she went directly to the third floor, and entered through the window, a man in black was already holding a sword and preparing to stab Qingshan.

Luo Qingzhi pushed the scabbard and knocked down the man in black, and wanted to keep his mouth alive for questioning, but the man immediately swallowed the medicine and spat blood.

Luo Qingzhi asked Qingshan and said, "Only this one?" ”

Qingshan nodded blankly, Luo Qingzhi took his hand and said, "Come back to the house with me, you can't stay here." ”

Fan's mother and Gao Zhen came in at the same time, the former smiling happily and the latter full of anger.

Mother Fan spoke first and said, "Yo, Nujun, is this going to redeem our Qingshanjun?" ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "How much money, you can just say it." ”

Fan's mother smiled and said, "Not much, one thousand taels." ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Tomorrow, come to the Anning County Lord's Mansion to get it." ”

Listening to the name of the county lord of Anning, Mother Fan immediately panicked and said, "I don't know, it was the county lord of Anning who arrived and collided with His Royal Highness the county lord." ”

Luo Qingzhi didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, and left a sentence of "I'll get it tomorrow", so she pulled Qingshanjun away, passing by Gao Zhen, without looking at him.

The carriage that came to answer was waiting at the door, and Luo Qingzhi pulled Qingshanjun into the car. The carriage of the county lord's mansion drove from Liuli Lane to Qizhenfang, where the county lord's mansion is located. Along the way, everyone was talking.

On the carriage, Luo Qingzhi let go of Qingshanjun's hand, the fever did not fade, and he blew the wind quickly, and a mouthful of blood gushed up. Aoyama-kun immediately wiped it for her with a handkerchief he carried with him.

Luo Qingzhi lifted the curtain and asked, "Is there someone in the rear to take care of the second son." ”

"Yes, don't worry, master."

Luo Qingzhi finally put her mind at ease and hurriedly explained: "After returning home, someone will take care of Qingshanjun." ”

"Yes."

Back at the county lord's mansion, Qin Shu, who was out, was already waiting at the door.

Luo Qingzhi got out of the carriage, and Gao Zhen in the back car also arrived.

"Master, are you alright?" Qin Shu was a little flustered.

Luo Qingzhi shook her head, but she didn't want to, shaking her head like this, which was already dizzy, actually aggravated the dizziness. Qingshanjun stepped forward to help him, and then bent down to pick up Luo Qingzhi, and asked gently, "Excuse me, where is the county lord's room?" ”

Qin Shu was stunned for a moment before he said, "Childe, please." ”

Gao Zhen, who was at the door of the mansion, watched Qingshan-kun walk farther and farther away with the girl he liked. There was no way, he swore in his heart.

"Only by becoming stronger can Arlo be the only one by his side."
