In the secret room of the Baili family, Qin Shu walked around, and after making sure that there was no one listening, he asked tentatively.

"Master, did you really give the heirloom jade seal to the second son?"

Luo Qingzhi smiled but did not speak.

Qin Shu didn't continue to ask, thought about it, and asked, "Then, what should we do next?"

"They should let that fake Luo Qingzhi pass the message to Erlang." Luo Qingzhi continued, "However, I don't know if Erlang will go to Beijing."

"If you send a message, the second son will definitely go to Beijing." Qin Shu said affirmatively.

Luo Qingzhi turned her head and asked, "Why didn't he return to Beijing for a long time?"

「......」

Qin Shu hesitated for a few moments and looked at Luo Qingzhi, "This, no, you, your affairs, I can't talk about it."

"What's there to say," Luo Qingzhi asked, "What happened to you in Ningzhou?"

「......」

Luo Qingzhi thought that Gao Zhen was still angry when she postponed her return, but Qin Shu's hesitation at this time made her feel that things were not simple.

"He's hurt?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Qin Shu was already hesitating, "How can I say it, it should be counted."

Luo Qingzhi became serious, "Qin Shu, you want to think clearly, whether you are my person or Gao Zhen's person."

"We met Xia Ji in Ningzhou."

"What if you see him?" Luo Qingzhi asked rhetorically.

Qin Shu explained, "In those two years, it was Xia Ji who was by your side, and the second prince wanted to know what happened to you in those two years.

Luo Qingzhi stared at him and asked him to continue.

"One day, the second son invited him to eat and drink, and after getting him drunk, he learned about the past two years."

After Qin Shu finished speaking, he immediately went to see Luo Qingzhi's reaction.

"I didn't even think about the events of those two years, and he believed it because others said two words?" Luo Qingzhi looked incomprehensible.

"Then," Luo Qingzhi paused for a moment and asked, "What did Xia Ji say?"

"I don't know." Qin Shu explained, "The second prince went to see him alone."

「......」

Luo Qingzhi looked at Qin Shu, "If something like this happens, you can send me a message first and explain it."

"The second son is watching closely." Qin Shu explained.

"Qin Shu, you ......"

"That." Qin Shu interrupted Luo Qingzhi's words, "Let's think about what to do next."

Luo Qingzhi thought that things must not be simple, and she couldn't get an answer if she continued to ask, so she wanted to ask Gao Zhen in person when she saw her.

"They gave me soft tendon powder, I don't have the strength now, I guess there is still half a pillar of incense, they will come over to add medicine, you take the opportunity to run out, find a way to find my grandfather and uncle."

Qin Shu asked rhetorically, "Then what should you do?"

"They won't hurt me, but if my grandfather and uncle are not missing, I will always have a weakness." Luo Qingzhi said.

Qin Shu nodded, "I understand, do you have any thoughts on the whereabouts of the two adults?"

Luo Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would definitely control them in what I think is the safest place, or maybe it will be a place where I can check at any time."

Qin Shu said, "Then there are only two places, Baili Mansion and the Imperial Palace."

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I think so too."

"Baili Mansion is still easy to find," Qin Shu said, "but the scope of the palace is too large."

Luo Qingzhi said, "Xianyang Palace."

Qin Shu was a little embarrassed, "The Xianyang Palace is now inhabited by His Majesty, and the guards are so strict."

"So, it's a safe place to check at all times." Luo Qingzhi said.

Qin Shu continued to ask, "So, how do I get in?"

Luo Qingzhi thought about it and said, "Go to the Queen Mother, show your identity, and she will help you."

「

The Queen Mother?" Qin Shu was puzzled and asked, "When did you catch the Empress Dowager?"

Luo Qingzhi pretended to be angry, "Why did you go to Ningzhou, there is so much nonsense."

"Yes, yes, just go and find it." Qin Shu said and hurriedly saluted.

"Crunch, squeak!"

The door to the chamber opened from the outside, and a masked man slowly entered with food.

The moment the door was opened, Qin Shu found the right time, knocked out the attendants, and escaped.

After not receiving Qin Shu's reply for a long time, Gao Zhen was not at ease, and took a pair of people to Beijing as quickly as possible.

Three days later, the night on the outskirts of Beijing.

The subordinates reported, "Second son, now that the city gate has been closed, we can only enter the city tomorrow.

"Got it," Gao Zhen asked again, "Is there any news from the capital?"

The subordinates reported, "Yesterday, His Royal Highness beckoned and ordered Lord Cheng in the Imperial History to be the crown prince."

"Hundred-mile-sama?" Gao Zhen was puzzled and muttered to himself, "How could Ah Luo do this?"

Seeing that his son-in-law was silent, his subordinates didn't dare to ask more, so they had to stay where they were, waiting for Gao Zhen's next command.

"Then Qin Shu has any whereabouts?" Gao Zhen asked.

The subordinate shook his head, "No, after Lord Qin entered Jinling, he entered the palace to meet His Highness, and then went to the ancestral tomb of the Luo family, and there was no news about the rest."

Gao Zhen thought for a while and said, "After entering the city tomorrow, we will go to the Luojia Cemetery first, and we will not enter the palace."

"Yes."

The sound of hurried horses' hooves came not far away, and the guards who were originally scattered everywhere were immediately alert and subconsciously surrounded Gao Zhen in the center.

"Don't panic, disperse." Gao Zhen commanded.

The crowd scattered and hid, and after a while, the sound of Lerma was heard.

In the dark night, he couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, Gao Zhen hid behind the big tree, and saw the man wearing a black cloak, walking to the bonfire that had just been lit, squatting down, and feeling the residual warmth.

She pulled down her cloak and hat, showed her face, and said loudly, "Erlang, it's me, you come out."

Gao Zhen saw the familiar person, didn't think much about it, and came out of the dark night.

"Arlo, why are you here?" Gao Zhen asked excitedly.

Luo Qingzhi smiled, "I know the news of your entry into Beijing, and I'm worried that you're still angry, so I'll come out to pick you up."

Gao Zhen was suddenly a little embarrassed, lowered his head slightly, and said in a very soft voice, "I'm not angry."

"Good, good." Luo Qingzhi's tone was gentle, like coaxing a child, "Erlang won't be angry, it's because I'm thinking too much."

The guards who were originally hiding appeared one by one, and Luo Qingzhi looked around at more than 20 people.

"You only brought such a few people into Beijing?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Gao Zhen nodded, "Qin Shu has no news, I thought something happened to you, so I came to take a look first."

Luo Qingzhi explained, "I let Qin Shu go to Yuzhou, don't worry."

Gao Zhen was puzzled and asked, "There is a wind in Yuzhou from the south, why did you suddenly let Qin Shu go back?"

Luo Qingzhi was speechless for a while, so she had to be vague, "It's not convenient to talk about things here, I'll tell you carefully when I return to the city."

「...... Okay."

Gao Zhen ordered someone to relight the bonfire, and naturally pulled Luo Qingzhi's left hand, and suddenly, Luo Qingzhi "hissed", and Gao Zhen hurriedly asked, "Are you injured?"

Luo Qingzhi covered her left shoulder and nodded slightly, "It's fine, it's just a little injury."

Gao Zhen said anxiously, "I'll take a look."

Luo Qingzhi glanced around, and said a little shyly, "What do you think here?"

Gao Zhen exhaled, gently took her to sit down by the bonfire, and still asked uneasily, "Now, in this imperial city, there are still people who dare to hurt you."

Luo Qingzhi knew that if he didn't give Gao Zhen an explanation, he would definitely not feel at ease, and according to the statement given to him by Jin Ziji in advance, he replied: "The killer's target is my uncle, and I blocked an arrow in order to save him."

"Hundred-mile-sama?" Gao Zhen thought about it and asked, "Because too."

Fu's thing?"

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Yes, there are people in the court who do not agree with my uncle being the Taifu, and think that the Baili family and my Luo family will join forces to control the court."

Gao Zhen asked, "Ah Luo, it is understandable that the ministers would think like this, after all, the candidate for Taifu is not only Lord Baili."

Luo Qingzhi exhaled, "I naturally understand this truth, but, Erlang, there is no one around me."

"What do you mean?" Gao Zhen asked rhetorically.

Luo Qingzhi first lowered her head, as if she was thinking, and after a while, she raised her head violently and stared at Gao Zhen's eyes.

"You haven't returned for a long time, I have been pressing this matter for you, and the ministers are very dissatisfied."

Gao Zhen looked at Luo Qingzhi's gaze, was stunned for a moment, and did not answer immediately.

Here, after Luo Qingzhi finished speaking, she immediately turned around.

Gao Zhen looked at the back of the person in front of him, but began to ponder, and after a while, he spoke, "I'm sorry, I can explain this matter."

Luo Qingzhi said, "No, I believe you have your own reasons."

Gao Zhen summoned his subordinates, and after a while, his subordinates brought a tightly wrapped baggage.

He opened him slowly, but the fragrance on his face made Luo Qingzhi frown.

Gao Zhen noticed her strangeness, "What?"

Luo Qingzhi hurriedly shook her head, "It's okay."

Gao Zhen pressed the doubt in his heart, opened the oiled paper bag, picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, and said, "Do you want to eat a piece?"

"I'm not hungry yet." Luo Qingzhi gently refused.

Gao Zhen put down the hibiscus cake and nodded, "Okay, then don't eat it."

With doubts in his heart, Gao Zhen noticed more and more abnormalities, he observed Luo Qingzhi's dress, he remembered, she never liked to wear black, and preferred to wear bright colors.

Luo Qingzhi noticed Gao Zhen's gaze, she felt uncomfortable, and began to change the topic, "When you enter the city tomorrow, you go back to the palace with me first."

Gao Zhen shook his head, "No, I still have a place to go, so I won't enter the palace first."

"Where are you going?" Luo Qingzhi hurriedly asked.

Gao Zhen smiled, "If you come with me, you won't know."

Luo Qingzhi lowered her head and began to think, Jin Ziji's task was for him to bring Gao Zhen into the palace.

"What? There's an urgent matter at the palace?" Gao Zhen asked.

"No," Luo Qingzhi explained, "It's just that I sneaked out tonight, and if I can't go back earlier tomorrow, my uncle will definitely punish me if he finds out."

"Then, otherwise, tomorrow morning, after entering the city, you will return to the palace, and I will enter the palace later." Gao Zhen said.

「......」

Luo Qingzhi exhaled and said, "I'd better go with you, I still don't worry about you being alone in the capital."
