The fifth day of the second month of the eleventh year of Sui Ning

The spring rain finally stopped for a few days, and Luo Qingzhi also recovered her strength and was able to get out of bed and walk around.

Just resumed her operation, she came to the entrance of the criminal department, and this day was also the day when Xia Ji was released.

Stripped of his prison uniform, Xia Ji changed into his regular clothes, dressed in white with his lonely eyes, more like a person who got up from the sickbed than Luo Qingzhi.

Luo Qingzhi walked forward, and before he could stand still, Xia Ji began to salute, "Xiaguan, no, the grass people have seen His Royal Highness the County Lord."

"Excuse me, I'm not here to see you today as the county lord." Luo Qingzhi said.

Xia Ji said lightly, "No matter what your identity is today, I should do this ceremony."

Knowing that Xia Ji was a gentleman who didn't let her uncle, she no longer struggled and got straight to the point.

"I wonder what you're going to do next?"

Xia Ji looked up to the sky and sighed, "Go back to Tiger Hill."

Luo Qingzhi arched her hand, "I just said that I didn't come to see you today as the county lord of Anning, Brother Xia is not curious at all, why did I come to you today?"

Xia Ji asked sincerely, "The county lord is looking for me?"

Luo Qingzhi took a step back and made a gesture of invitation, "Get in the car and say."

The carriage of the county lord's mansion departed from the gate of the criminal department, headed south, and stopped at Wenyuan Street.

Luo Qingzhi walked ahead and led Xia Ji to Mo Yuzhai.

"County Lord, what does this mean?" Xia Ji asked.

Luo Qingzhi explained: "Su Lantai is going back to his hometown to serve his mother, and there is no one to take care of here.

Xia Ji said: "It is said that the Baili family and the county lord of Anning are incompatible, and it seems that they are all fallacies."

Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "If you are a person and do things by your ears, then sooner or later you will suffer a big loss, I think, Brother Xia will not be such a person."

Xia Ji didn't answer, looking at the room full of books, he couldn't hide his heartbeat, although Mo Yuzhai is a folk bookstore, but the collection of books is no less than that in the palace.

"I know you've always wanted to write books, and here, I can give you that opportunity." Luo Qingzhi showed a killer feature.

"Okay."

Xia Ji no longer hesitated, nodded in agreement.

Luo Qingzhi took out the key from her arms and handed it to Xia Ji.

"It seems that the county lord expects that I will not refuse." Xia Ji looked at the key prepared in Luo Qingzhi's hand.

"No, everyone has their own choices, I just like to have everything ready in advance."

Xia Ji bowed his hand, "I will definitely take care of Mo Yuzhai in the next place."

Luo Qingzhi also bowed her hand in return, "Then, everything will be entrusted to you."

arranged a place for Xia Ji, and Luo Qingzhi came to Baili Mansion non-stop.

This time, in the study, I only saw Baili Xi.

Without waiting for Luo Qingzhi to ask, Bai Li Xi explained: "Your uncle is dealing with the matter of this year's imperial examination, and there has been a lot of delay in front of him, and he has to speed up his actions in order to arrange everything before the spring examination in March."

"This time, it's me who has troubled my uncle." Luo Qingzhi said.

Baili Xi tapped her on the head and said, "We are a family, and the family should be like this, and you have been pretending to be at odds with the Baili family in order not to disturb us."

Luo Qingzhi was still immersed in self-blame, Baili Xi changed the topic and said, "That kid, I've seen it, it's long, it's indeed a match for you, and it's your wedding in ten days, hey...... My good granddaughter is going to be married."

Baili Xi touched her hair and said, "Qingqing, many things have happened, just happens, just live every day in front of you."

Luo Qingzhi thought that Baili Xi must not want her to continue to investigate the cause of her mother's death.

"Qingqing, my grandfather is old, I don't know if I will not wake up if I lie down that day."

"Wai Wen!" Luo Qingzhi was a little annoyed, "You are not allowed to say such things."

Baili smiled, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm in the world, there is nothing that cannot be mentioned, and the wai man is the most assured

It's you."

Luo Qingzhi held Baili Xi's hand, "Waiweng, I'm fine, don't worry."

"If you want to do anything, the wai man will not stop you, there is only one request." Baili Xi said solemnly.

Luo Qingzhi said, "You say."

Baili Xi patted her hand and said, "Protect your life, if your life is gone, there is nothing left."

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Qingqing knows."

Baili Xi got up, took out a token in the brocade box on the desk.

"Your wedding, probably I won't be able to go, this is a dowry for you."

Luo Qingzhi looked at the token and immediately refused, "This is the token of the head of the family, my uncle is still here, how can I do it."

Baili Xi said, "Don't you know what kind of temperament your uncle has, he will one day leave the court, leave the Baili family, and do his own thing."

"But." Luo Qingzhi still couldn't accept it, and refused again, "I ......"

"I know what you're thinking." Baili Xi said, forcibly stuffing the token into her hand, "You have the blood of the Luo family on your body, and you also have the blood of the Baili family, although the wai weng never wanted to control the government, let alone win the hearts of the people, but the hundred-year foundation of the Baili family can't be hasty."

Luo Qingzhi sighed deeply, and Baili Xi comforted her, "I gave you a token, you are the head of the Baili family, in the future, what you want to do, everyone in the Baili family will have to listen to you, including your uncle."

After Baili Xi finished speaking, he smiled, "It turns out that when my father handed over the Baili family to me, this was how I felt."

"What does it feel like?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

"Relieved." Baili Xi replied.

Luo Qingzhi looked at the token in her palm, the century-old foundation of Baili Mansion, I don't know how many people have passed through this token, and now it has come to her hands, where should I go.

"Don't be burdened, just do whatever you want." Baili Xi said.

Luo Qingzhi still sighed, but she also understood in her heart that the Baili family had a sense of retreat since her uncle's generation, not only because the wai weng was unwilling, but more importantly, there were few men in the Baili family, and the only ones who could take over this important task were Baili Han and her.

Baili Xi instructed: "I have always been relieved that you do things, but there is only one sentence, and the wai man still has to remind you."

Luo Qingzhi arched her hand, "Wai Weng, please speak."

"There is a way, a companion is like a tiger. Qingqing, you must be awake at all times, okay?"

Luo Qingzhi nodded solemnly, "Understood."

When she came out of the main gate of Baili Mansion, the sun had gradually set, Luo Qingzhi raised her head, looked at the sunset in the west, and held the token of the Baili family in her hand, which was a little heavier than the tiger talisman that held the Beifu Army back then, she knew that the reason why Wai Weng wanted to hand over the Baili family to her was not only to hope that the power of the Baili family could help her, but more, he also hoped that she could keep the century-old foundation of the Baili family.

Luo Qingzhi entered the frame, and the driver asked where to go.

"Let's go into the palace."

In the Xuanyang Palace, Gao Yan learned that Luo Qingzhi asked to see him, and he was not surprised, so he stopped what he was doing and called someone in.

"Ah Luo, seeing that it is about to get dark, how did you think of entering the palace."

Luo Qingzhi took out the token of Baili Mansion from her arms, held it in both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, today, Lord Baili saw me and gave me this."

Gao Yan had obviously learned that Luo Qingzhi had come out of Baili Mansion a second ago, but he still pretended not to know anything, and asked, "What is this?"

"Head of House Token." Luo Qingzhi replied.

"Oh?" Gao Yan asked, "What? When Ah Luo reconciled with the Baili family, I don't know at all."

Luo Qingzhi said, "It's not that I'm reconciled, it's just that there is no one in the Baili family, and Lord Baili wants me to take over as the head of the family."

Gao Yan snorted, "No one? What is that Baili Han?"

Luo Qingzhi said: "What kind of temperament Lord Baili Han is, Your Majesty must know best, he invited himself to be the chief examiner of the imperial examination, it seems that he is solving problems for His Majesty, but he is also winning the hearts of the people for the Baili family, and this move has not been approved by Lord Baili

Meaning.".

"So." Gao Yan asked, "They're letting you out of the siege."

"Your Majesty is wise." Luo Qingzhi said, "Lord Baili Xi hopes that I can save Baili Han's life."

Gao Yan laughed, "What? In their hearts, I am a faint king who kills his courtiers indiscriminately?"

Luo Qingzhi was not in a hurry, and said, "What they think, the minister doesn't know, but the minister knows that now, the Baili family is in my hands, and it is also in the hands of His Majesty."

Gao Yan picked up the token, weighed it, and put it back into Luo Qingzhi's hand, "What Luo said is true."

Luo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and planned to bow and leave.

"Have you figured it out?" Gao Yan asked for no reason.

Luo Qingzhi didn't understand what the emperor was talking about, and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Gao Yan said lightly, "I need Arou to enter the palace."

"With the support of the Baili family, Your Majesty can do whatever he wants, and he may not need Ah Rou." Luo Qingzhi was still unwilling.

Luo Qingzhi thought that Gao Yan would continue to force him, but unexpectedly, he just nodded and said, "Okay."

Gao Yan continued, "Then you killed Gao Zhen."

Luo Qingzhi frowned instantly, and asked rhetorically, "So, Your Majesty is telling the ministers that I can only protect one of Ah Rou and Ah Zhen, right?"

Gao Yan didn't answer, as if by default.

Luo Qingzhi knelt down on her knees and arched her hand and said, "Back then, the same was true, in order to save the two of them, you asked me to reorganize the Beifu Army, I did it, and you did spare their lives, so today...... Your Majesty, what do you need me to do?"

"There is an abnormality in Ningzhou Mufu, get rid of him."

A simple sentence made Luo Qingzhi shudder, as a military general, she would receive military reports every day, but she had never heard of any changes, Gao Yan, just to eradicate the Mufu forces.

Gao Yan saw that Luo Qingzhi had not answered, and asked softly, "What?"

Luo Qingzhi said: "The minister will get married in ten days, Ningzhou is in the southwest border, even if there is a difference, it will not endanger Jinling for a while, and when the wedding is over, the minister will set off again."

「...... In that case, let's cancel it." Gao Yan said lightly.

「......」

Luo Qingzhi was angry in her heart, raised her head, and looked at Gao Yan.

"I don't understand, why do you hate Gao Zhen so much?"

Gao Yan was silent for a while and said, "I said, he is a wolf and can't stay."
