Chapter Twenty-Nine: Caution and Foreign Appointment
"That being the case, a few days ago, the governor of the Puzhou Governor's Mansion was relieved of his post, so it is better to let Fu Shen fill this position." Zong Zhengyuan fiddled with the tassels on his clothes and said.
Huan Ci's brows jumped. The governor of Puzhou is Zong Zhengche, but he is far away in Yingdu, just a false position. If Fu Shen held this position, wouldn't he cover the sky in Puzhou? It seems that the emperor did not intend to abandon Fu Shen, but took advantage of the matter.
She secretly glanced at Zong Zhengche, and saw that the man's demeanor was leisurely now, and he couldn't see any unhappiness on his face.
On the contrary, it was Zong Zhengtang, who was obviously relieved, and his expression turned from worry to joy.
After meeting her gaze, Huan Ci suddenly remembered what happened in Fushen's courtyard last night, and he actually felt like a thief.
The Queen Mother looked at the black green under her eyes, thinking that she was bored because of the rumors of the past few days, and forced her to stay in the palace for one night.
Obviously, this matter was revealed like this, but for some reason, Huan Ci felt more annoyed.
There are more rules in the palace than outside, and there are almost no people who move around at will after nightfall.
At the back of the Queen Mother's bedroom, Huan Ci was leaning on the bathtub and soaking comfortably.
The things in the palace are indeed better than those outside, and she feels comfortable after just soaking for a while.
"County lord, the queen mother ordered the old slave to send some things over."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
It's Li Qi. His voice was distinctive, and Huan Ci remembered it the first time he heard it.
She turned her head to look at A-Yao, who was also surprised, and quickly got out of the tub.
"Invite him in."
After staying in the palace for more than ten years, Li Qi quickly knew that he had come at the wrong time with the fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose. He kept his head down and bowed in the direction of Huan Ci.
"Hurry up, please." Huan Ci wrapped his robe tightly and looked at the collapsed man steadily.
Li Qi still drooped his eyelids, and quickly stepped forward to hand the tray in his hand to Huan Ci.
"A-Yao, go and bring the purse hanging from my clothes." Huan Ci gave Ah Yao a look
Ah Yao immediately understood, took three steps and walked outside to let the wind out.
The corners of Li Qi's mouth hooked, and he lowered his voice and said, "Everything is fine with King Dingyuan, the county lord doesn't have to worry." This victory is considered a big one, and Modi is indeed the prince's man. But if the war is over, the prince is worried that the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked, so he instructed me to facilitate the marriage between you and the prince. I just didn't expect this to happen in the near future. ”
"How did my father-in-law correspond with my father?" Huan Ci asked with a frown.
Since martial law in the capital, she has not received a letter from her father.
"The person who sent the news to the palace this time was my person, but he was sent out by the palace, and he came back directly after entering Beijing."
"I see." Huan Ci nodded, "I know what my father means." Go back quickly, father-in-law, so as not to arouse suspicion. ”
"The county lord is careful." After Li Qi gave a word, he hurriedly went back to his life.
Huan Ci spent the night full of worries, got up early in the morning and hurried out of the palace. When he passed in front of Fu Shen's house, there were no officers and soldiers, and even the lanterns hanging in front of the door had been removed.
The servants told her that a holy decree had been delivered to the next door yesterday, and that Fu Shen had left shortly after receiving it, and that there was no one in the house to guard it now.
"There's a man named Sweeping Leaves who asked me to give this to the county lord." The subordinate took out a sachet and handed it to Huan Ci.
Huan Ci opened the sachet curiously, and the expression on his face froze instantly.
The sachet contained the earrings that disappeared yesterday, and I didn't find them after I came back last night, and sure enough, they fell into his yard.
It's just, what does the man mean by sending this back? Now that he has gone to Puzhou, there should be no chance to meet again in the future.
Huan Ci's eyes flashed with a trace of loss that even she didn't notice.
