While Bao Zheng, Lu Bu and others were intensively preparing the supplies for the Liao State, Shen Pu had quietly left the capital.

Shen Pu only had two personal servants with him, and he rarely lived in crowded places along the way, and it was not until he approached the boundary of Chuzhou that he opened the letter that Bao Zheng had left for him.

Bao Zheng was worried that he would show his flaws, and specially reminded him how to act after arriving in Chuzhou.

After Shen Pu destroyed the letterhead, his speed became slower.

He very much hoped that when he entered Chuzhou, he would be caught up by Fei Caihe.

Fei Caihe was not in a hurry to go out of the palace and meet his cousin. However, I don't know what happened in the palace recently, and Concubine Liu suddenly issued an order that all concubines should not step out of the palace gate for half a step within ten days, otherwise they will be punished according to the decree.

In fact, Fei Caihe had already prepared everything.

Now, the emperor only has fun in Jin'er's palace every day, and rarely goes to other places, and Fei Caihe leaves at this time and will not attract anyone's attention.

The girl named Xiao Zhuo, as expected, was placed in the back garden by Fei Caihe, and a few old palace maids and eunuchs were responsible for tending to the flowers and plants. Fei Caihe also specially warned that she should not enter the front without a summons, and asked a caring palace maid to pay attention to her actions at all times.

Xiao Zhuo secretly complained bitterly.

I have to hope that one day my situation will be known by Princess Changning, so as to save herself.

Ten days finally passed slowly in Fei Caihe's torment and anxiety.

And today is also the day when Bao Zheng and Lu Bu entered the palace to bid farewell to the emperor.

The emperor was very happy, and made an exception to gather all the civil and military forces in the Zichen Hall to serve the two of them together.

As soon as the emperor came to the back door of the Zichen Palace, he saw Fei Caihe kneeling on the side of the road.

The emperor hurriedly broke away the accompanying eunuch and walked over to help Fei Caihe up.

"Why does Concubine Ai have to wait here for me?"

Fei Caihe's expression was sad.

"The concubines in the palace are looking forward to the arrival of Banzai every day, but they only know that Banzai is in the palace of Concubine Jin every day, and they must have done something wrong with the concubine, or they are too old to serve Banzai wholeheartedly, so they will come here."

"Where did Concubine Ai come from?" The emperor hurriedly said, "I have been busy with state affairs in the past few days, how about going to your Caihe Palace after sending Bao Zheng and the others away?" ”

"The concubines no longer have the luxury of expecting the grace of Long Live the grace, long live still have to focus on state affairs, and at the same time protect the dragon body." Fei Caihe said.

The Emperor nodded.

"You go back, I am anxious to go to the palace to meet Bao Zheng and the ministers."

"The concubine is here, it is to ask for the permission of the concubine's brother, the concubine's brother's old illness has relapsed, presumably there are not many days to come, long live to know, the concubine only has this one relative, please let the concubine go out of the palace to visit her hometown." Fei Caihe twitched his small nose a few times.

"What, Fei Yong is sick?" The emperor was also a little surprised.

Fei Caihe nodded.

"In this case, Concubine Ai can quickly pack up and go back to her hometown for a visit, and ask the Internal Affairs Office to buy some gifts and bring them with you." The emperor still values Fei Yong very much.

"Long live the concubine, thank you." Fei Caihe was overjoyed.

In fact, what Fei Caihe said is not groundless.

Fei Yong was really sick, but the disease was nothing at all, it was just itchy, and he only lacked Lu Bu to give him a violent beating.

The emperor was worried about seeing Bao Zheng off, and after a few words, he left.

Fei Caihe returned to the palace, immediately cleaned up, took two personal palace maids, and went out in the car. 33

Not long after Fei Caihe left, Concubine Liu suddenly sent someone to summon Fei Caihe to Ning'an Palace.

"My mother-in-law was ordered to return to her hometown to visit Uncle Guo, and she has already set off." A palace maid replied.

The person quickly went back and told the news to Concubine Liu.

At this time, there was another person in Concubine Liu's palace - Princess Changning.

"Queen Mother, this imperial concubine just went out of the palace at this time, isn't her purpose obvious? It's up to the queen mother to deal with it. Princess Changning said.

Concubine Liu glanced at her, did not follow her words, but changed the topic, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't Chang Ning come with you?" ”

Princess Changning's mouth pursed.

Dong Chun has not returned to his home for several days, and his sons have sent people to look for him several times, but no trace of him has been found. When he returns home, his sons will definitely punish him. ”

Concubine Liu was stunned.

Dong Chun has rarely gone out of Beijing since he married Princess Changning, even if he has made repeated mistakes, he is always in the capital, how could he suddenly disappear?

Seeing that Princess Changning didn't care about it, Concubine Liu didn't bother to care about it for a while.

However, Concubine Liu suddenly had a premonition:

Lu Bu and Dong Chun have a deep grudge, and now, Lu Bu is going to follow Bao Zheng to envoy Liao, I don't know when he will return, will he take this opportunity......

This idea just flashed in Concubine Liu's mind, and at present, everything must be focused on state affairs.

"Chang Ning, the mourning family has its own opinions on the matter of the imperial concubine and Shen Pu, it is better for you not to interfere in the future, so as not to lose my royal face." Concubine Liu said.

Princess Chang Ning snorted.

"The royal face has long been lost by my royal brother, what scruples do you have?"

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Liu sank her face, "Your imperial brother is the emperor, even if you canonize a few more concubines, it is a reasonable thing, you can't talk nonsense like this." ”

Princess Changning was naturally unconvinced.

"A few days ago, Erchen heard that the warrior surnamed Tang entered the palace several times, presumably because he had an affair with one of the concubines in the palace, did the queen mother let it go?"

When Concubine Liu heard Princess Chang Ning say this, her heart instantly rose to her throat, for fear that this crazy girl would find out the clue.

"Full of nonsense, that Tang Lu Bu has repeatedly helped the mourning family get out of danger, and he has also made great contributions to the imperial court, and this time he has to follow Bao Zheng to envoy the Khitan Kingdom, you are so groundless suspicion, aren't you going to miss a big thing?"

Princess Changning wanted to say something, but was stopped by Concubine Liu.

"The mourning family is going to rest, you can go back to the house, in the future, without a call, you can't go back to the palace at will." With that, Concubine Liu took care of herself and returned to the back of the dormitory.

Princess Changning looked at Concubine Liu's back, full of complaints but nowhere to tell.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, can you drive home immediately?" A maid who didn't know the current affairs ran over to ask, and was slapped in the face by Princess Changning.

"Quickly go to the Caihe Palace and recall that Xiao Zhuo, since then, this palace will no longer care about the affairs in this palace."

The maid was beaten, covered her face and took a few steps back, and promised to leave.

Princess Changning was very resentful in her heart, not only because she was reprimanded by Concubine Liu, but also because Dong Chun had not shown up for many days, and no one in the family knew her whereabouts.

Princess Changning left in a huff.

Zichen Palace:

The emperor and the civil and military ministers took turns to toast Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng's black face had turned purple with alcohol.

Although Lu Bu is the commander of the forbidden army, his official position is not high, and there was no place for him in the palace, because this time he was going to follow Bao Zheng together, so the emperor made an exception to prepare a seat for him next to Bao Zheng.

However, most of the civil and military ministers gathered around Bao Zheng and ignored Lu Bu's existence.

Lu Bu was a little displeased, so he got up and left.

He did not go outside the palace, but bypassed a few eunuchs and forbidden army warriors, and went to Ning'an Palace along the back door of Zichen Palace, where he was going to bid farewell to Concubine Liu alone.

Some people died, but not completely......
