Xia Pei also laughed, he stood up, slowly walked down the stone pavilion, stood in the middle of the garden, and looked up to admire the peach blossoms in the garden.

Lu Zhaoyi was half a step behind and stood quietly, waiting for him to speak.

"I don't know what you were thinking at the time, but I can feel your disregard for this." Xia Pei turned around, looked into her eyes, and looked at her for a long time.

After speaking, he slowly approached her again, "I am not a person who does not miss my old love, and I can't bear to treat Zhongliang harshly. ”

What does this mean?

She didn't react for a moment.

But then I thought about it, and it dawned on me.

"I understand! Your Majesty is still worried about the military advisor and the 150,000 Qingzhou troops under his command? ”

"That's right!" Xia Pei raised his eyebrows, "The world is unified, and the soldiers have stopped." Why don't you go and persuade the military division to hand over the power of the Qingzhou Army within three days? ”

Suddenly, Lu Zhaoyi's face sank, and in just a moment, he was discovered by Xia Pei.

He actually wanted to use her to get the Qingzhou Army out of Gou Chenzi's control?

Is this pushing yourself? Lu Zhaoyi coldly hooked the corners of her lower lip, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.

She looked up and stared at him for a moment, "I'm afraid it's hard to do." The Qingzhou Army, entrusted by the first king to the military division, is also to stabilize the new dynasty, if it is handed over at will, who else can suppress the chaotic court of the faction? ”

Speaking of this, Xia Pei's eyes deepened.

Immediately, Lu Zhaoyi raised his hands, knelt on the ground and hurriedly said, "Qi Niang is willing to assure Your Majesty that when the court is stable, the society is peaceful, and the people are prosperous, the ministers will definitely persuade the military advisor to hand over the Qingzhou Army without any delay." ”

"Is that true?" Xia Pei was slightly surprised by this promise, and asked tentatively with a skeptical tone.

"Qi Niang has no words." Lu Zhaoyi raised his head, word by word, his eyes were full of sincerity.

After a moment of silence, Xia Pei asked her to get up, walked to the side of the stone bench and sat down, "It's a pity! You are not Gou Chenzi, if you are, this 150,000 army, I can give you as a dowry! ”

Lu Zhaoyi raised his head, stunned, what did he guess?

Before she could speak, Xia Pei had already seen her expression and smiled, "I just said it casually, and I didn't mean anything else." ”

She was about to speak, when he suddenly shouted, "That's it for today, right?" You, step aside! ”

The words were held back, Lu Zhaoyi was stunned, raised his eyes in confusion, and looked at him for some reason.

He didn't want to say more, waved his sleeves, and after saluting, she slowly retreated.

Under the leadership of the inner attendant, he walked out of the palace gate of the garden and walked all the way out of the Qianqiu gate, which was far away from the main gate of the palace.

Outside the Qianqiu Gate, there is Tongyang Street, and her team of attendants has been waiting here for a long time.

"Did the emperor take you into the harem?" As soon as she saw her, Qu Zhiyun immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously.

They were able to wait here, but they also listened to the instructions of the head of the forbidden army in the palace city, saying that His Majesty would leave Lu Zhaoyi in the palace to chat and let them wait at the Qianqiu Gate.

Regarding whether she was brought into the harem, it was indeed a sensitive topic, and Qu Zhiyun only dared to ask with her ears.

"Not really, just a moment in the garden." Lu Zhaoyi raised his head and responded.

Looking at the team outside the gate of this palace, she also knew that Xia Pei might have wanted to keep her in the palace.

But after all, it's not a glorious thing, why did she add.

"To be able to call you here means that Your Majesty has given up on the nonsense you did this morning!" With that, she walked to the carriage and boarded it.

……

Back at the mansion, as soon as Lu Zhaoyi stepped into the courtyard, Gu Man came with news.

He was referring to the portrait drawn by the shadow guard yesterday, the drunken fragrance house,

"Qi Niang, it's found out."

Gu Man lowered his head and gasped, "Yesterday, the person who met Xu Lu and Lu Lin in the drunken fragrance house was one of the Shaofu Qing, Qin Bo'an. ”

Qin Bo'an?

The Qin family in Huainan County?

The ancestral land of the Qin family, only separated by a river from Jiangzuo, although it is Jiangbei, it originally belonged to the Yue country, and in that year, Jiangzuo organized many expeditions to the west, which has the credit of the Qin family.

Sure enough, they still miss their homeland!

Lu Zhaoyi lowered his head and lowered his eyes, "Continue to investigate, go and check the Qin family, is there still collusion with the Jiangzuo gang?" ”

"Yes!" Gu Man nodded and ran out of the mansion again.

As soon as he left, Lu Zhaoyi remembered something, and muttered in his mouth, "Huainan County, Huainan County......"

On the side, Qu Zhiyun seemed to think of it, and hurriedly asked, "There are only three hundred miles between Chengde County and Liyang County, and the disease in Chengde and Shou County has appeared, but I don't know what it has to do with this Qin family?" ”

Lu Zhaoyi frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

"I hope I'm wrong!"

These things are put aside for the time being.

Right now, seeing Xia Sheng is the most important thing for her at the moment.

"You go and urge again, be sure to let Xia Sheng meet me as soon as possible." Lu Zhaoyi commanded, and went straight back to the backyard to rest.

Three days later, Yingwei sent a message that Yang Wenxu had discussed with Xia Sheng, and on the night of May 19, Yu Zuixiang was in the middle and saw him.

It's a drunken fragrance house again.

Hum!

Hearing this, she couldn't help but sneer secretly.

I had heard about this place many times before, and I was already a little repulsed in my heart, and this time Xia Sheng invited her to go, and she was naturally unhappy.

Qu Zhiyun snickered, "This drunken incense house is the most famous restaurant in Taicang, and officials of all sizes who live in the north of the city often come there. Isn't it unreasonable for this cold king to invite you here? ”

Lu Zhaoyi was silent, how could she have forgotten that the drunken fragrance residence is a feature of the capital, a pastime for the big clans in the court.

She smiled coldly and ignored Qu Zhiyun, there was still a day before the meeting, and before that, she still needed to make some preparations.

"Shadow Spirit, you take Xiaoman, go out of Yongmen, go to the big market in the outer city, and buy as many antidote prescriptions and herbs as possible, as well as all the materials needed to treat the disease."

"Remember, what you have in the city, buy it for me."

"Yes!" Shadow Spirit and Gu Man nodded in answer and turned to leave.

"Shadow Snow, Zhiyun! You go to the Imperial Doctor's Office, find the Imperial Doctor's Order, and use the Gou Chen Warrant to order him to transfer out a prescription for the treatment of furles, at least thirty volumes. After tidying up one by one, put it away properly. ”

"In addition, I will find a Lang Zhong who is good at driving drugs in Beijing, and place him in the courtyard first, and I will use him in a few days."

She arranged everything and sat quietly in the inner room alone, restless.

There is always a feeling that ominous signs are coming.

Perhaps there was a hunch that this situation continued into the night.

After a night of tossing and turning, finally, in the early morning of the next day, Lu Zhaoyi, who was asleep, was awakened by the noise outside the door, she opened her eyes in a daze, but saw two figures shaking outside the door.

It's Gu Man!

"Qi Niang, Qi Niang!"

Lu Zhaoyi got up and pushed open the door, and saw the panicked faces of Gu Man and Ying Ling, and suddenly felt bad in his heart.

"Don't worry, you speak slowly."

First of all, Gu Man, who couldn't help his temperament, said bluntly, "Qi Niang, we only bought more than 300 catties of herbs to cure boils in the big city of the capital, and the prevention and control materials are almost monopolized, and we have no choice." ”

When she heard this, her face turned pale, and she lowered her eyebrows and muttered, "How can this be." ”

Soon after, Qu Zhiyun and Ying Xue also returned, and they were in much the same condition.

First of all, the prescription for the treatment of furles in the Imperial Medical Department was transferred away first, and then there were not many Lang Zhong in Beijing who was good at detoxification, and only three people could be found in total, but all three of them were invited into Dongfang Lane in Yongning.

Wait a minute! Wrong.

"Take the map of Luojing!" Lu Zhaoyi shouted, hurriedly returned to the house, and lifted all the things on the table to the ground, leaving the entire table empty.

After the map was taken and laid out, Lu Zhaoyi lowered his head and carefully looked at some directions of the map.

"Look!" She suddenly noticed the clue, raised her head, and called them over.

"In Yongningli, on the left is the Da Sima Mansion, on the right is the Taiwei Mansion and the Si Lizhou Captain, and the upper and lower are the Yushitai and the school field."

Qu Zhiyun understood, so she continued her words, "Are they all suspicious?" But except for the Captain of Si Lizhou, the Imperial Doctor and the Captain of the School Field, everyone else knows you, why don't you ask them and eliminate the target? ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi nodded.

"That's exactly what I wanted!" She turned her head with sharp eyes, "Xiaoman, you go to the Taiwei Mansion and the Great Sima Mansion again and confirm with them." ”
