After experiencing too many things and being physically and mentally exhausted, Lu Tan almost slept to death overnight.

As soon as I woke up the next morning, I heard the strange little Loli voice of the system ringing happily in my head.

[Is it really cruel to leave~Maybe gentleness is shameful~]

[Trigger Hidden Mission: It's a Big Deal!] The host's good sister absconded overnight, who will pay for the loss of Ruyun Pavilion?! In order not to lose money, find a way to get her back! 】

[Objective: Find Lu Sisi before Lu Manshuang.] 】

[Reward: Thousand Machine Mask x1, Random Weapon Raw Material x1.] 】

Lu Tan came to his senses all of a sudden, and didn't have time to think about anything else, so he rushed to the door of Lu Sisi's room as soon as possible, and happened to meet Xie Ruyun who came to check Lu Sisi's status.

Lu Tan happened to be looking for Xie Ruyun too, after all, although Lu Sisi did yesterday's incident first, it was also because of him, so he scratched his head and apologized a little embarrassedly: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I will find a way to compensate for the loss in the store." ”

Xie Ruyun glanced Lu Tan up and down twice, and when he saw that he was in good shape, he nodded: "I don't blame you for yesterday's incident, don't blame yourself too much, my aunt will take care of it." ”

Lu Tan didn't say anything more, after all, no matter how much he said now, it was not important to act, so he just nodded politely.

Xie Ruyun had been at Lu Sisi's door for a while, and the door had also knocked, but no one came to open the door while they were talking, and there was no response in the room even after Xie Ruyun shouted Xie Yi a few times.

Lu Tan frowned, he had already learned through the system that Lu Sisi had escaped, but he really didn't know where Xie Yi was going, and he had some bad premonitions inexplicably, Lu Tan and Xie Ruyun glanced at each other and kicked the door open.

All the windows in the room were open, and the quilts on the bed were piled up in a mess, but there was no one, Xie Yi was lying on the side of the bed, and his back clothes were cut through a huge gap, and blood was splattered everywhere.

"Xie Yi!"

Lu Tan first tested Xie Yi's snort, and he was still alive. One more look at the bleeding on his back saw that the skin was smooth and there was no wound.

Then Xie Ruyun landed in front of Lu Tan and made a move that made Lu Tan so shocked that he couldn't close his legs.

She put her hand into her bottomless ravine, seemed to rummage, and then felt for a thumb-sized porcelain bottle, poured out two black pills from it, stuffed them into Xie's mouth, and patted his chin again: "Wake up, Xie Yi." ”

I don't know what kind of magic medicine the milky pill is, Xie Yi, who took the pill, regained consciousness in the blink of an eye.

"Ahem...... Ahem. Xie Yi coughed twice and spit out a mouthful of turbid blood, and then saw Xie Ruyun clearly, and immediately knelt down: "Master, Xie Yi is not doing well, please punish the master." ”

Xie Ruyun didn't blame him, and said solemnly: "Who is it that sees clearly?" ”

Xie Yi shook his head: "Last night, the little one just performed spiritual magic on Miss Lu, and he heard the sound of the window opening, and before he could turn back, he was stabbed by someone, and the knife was inserted in the back of the heart, and the little one was only trying to ......protect himself at that time."

The more he spoke, the more guilty he became, and he didn't dare to lift his head against the ground.

Lu Tan watched from the side, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, all the signs he had observed in the Ruyun Pavilion in the past few days showed one thing, Xie Ruyun was really not a simple person. All the guys in the store are united, and they can even skip their lives in order to protect Xie Wan yesterday, plus they can quickly execute it without asking anything after hearing the order.

A managerial talent like Xie Ruyun could at least be an executive of a multinational company in his previous life.

"It's okay, I'll give you a few days off, let Xie Jiu follow me in the next few days, and then come to me after you raise your spiritual roots...... By the way, don't tell anyone about Lu Sisi's loss. Xie Ruyun was still gentle and gentle, and then turned his head to Lu Tan: "Lu boy, do your aunt a favor, and get your cousin back before Lu Manshuang finds out, otherwise Lu Manshuang will be ruthless, and we will be in trouble." ”

Xie Ruyun's request coincided with the system task, and Lu Tan immediately agreed.

Xie Ruyun nodded and left the room with Xie Yi.

……

The Imperial Palace, Taiyi Palace, in the early dynasties.

The court was full of female officials, and at this time, everyone was smiling with a smile on their faces, quietly listening to the empress in the palace reciting poems.

"The scoundrel is peachy, and the well is exposed."

"The spring breeze is open, but I want to laugh at the spring breeze."

The young and charming empress sat upright on the phoenix seat, and the heavy dress on her body was layer after layer, but it did not cover her charming face and graceful posture, at this time she was gently tapping the armrest of the phoenix seat with her slender fingers, and her lips were closed one by one, and she was reading the "Mocking Peach" that Lu Tan read last night.

After reading the last word, she paused, and the corners of her mouth hooked: "Lu Xiang, this poem has a bit of meaning, and it spread all over the capital overnight." ”

Lu Manshuang was not in a hurry, smiled slightly, and arched his hand at the empress: "Shengshang, Weichen's eldest son has a somewhat extreme personality since he was a child, and Weichen just gives his younger brother more meat during dinner, and he will make a fuss." Yesterday's poem, I'm afraid it was also a little trouble with his cousin, and the left and right are just some family matters and trivial matters, and I am worried about the saint. When he goes home, Weichen will definitely discipline him well. ”

These words not only shook off the pot, but also blackened Lu Tan, and even faintly complained that the empress interfered in the family affairs of the courtiers.

When her words fell, the empress didn't say anything, just supported her chin with her hand, looking at the sky outside the hall and didn't know what she was thinking.

The courtiers who watched the excitement were also silenced.

Lu Manshuang's official residence is the prime minister, and it is not because of her eloquent mouth that the empress was still young and fledgling when she ascended the throne, and the first emperor told Lu Manshuang to assist her in assisting the government before his death.

This assistance is several years, and the rights are released, and it is difficult to get them back.

The empress gradually grew up and began to withdraw her rights little by little, but freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it is not a day's work to melt ice, so she and Lu Manshuang check and balance each other and test each other, but they still have to get by.

But there are also people who are not afraid of Lu Manshuang.

For example, the only woman standing at the front of the left column who was not wearing court clothes.

She wore a dark purple gauze dress, her hair was not in a bun like everyone else, but was draped over her shoulders, she looked a little old, but she still had a charm, and her gestures carried a smell of ripeness.

She looked at Lu Manshuang and sneered: "Lu Xiang raised the eldest son like this, and the second son doesn't know what it looks like, I heard that the second son of the Lu family is looking for someone in recent days, I really don't know whose daughter has such a big 'blessing'." ”

Lu Manshuang listened to her cynicism and grinded her teeth: "National teacher, you ......"

But he didn't dare to say anything more, because this woman in purple was one of the highest combat forces in Luoyun Country at present, the national teacher Shen Mengyu.
