She said this with a bit of banter in her tone, but there was no derogatory meaning, Ye Yuanzhou also nodded with a smile and admitted her statement.

"I don't know what kind of arrangements the saint will make after entering the palace tomorrow." Thinking of what happened early the next morning, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, "Xu is tomorrow, after meeting the saint, you and I don't know when we will meet again." ”

Du Ruo shook his head: "No." I originally had a similar idea to you, but after thinking about it myself, I didn't think it would be the kind of errand that I was transferred to.

I have only been in Songzhou for a short time, and even if the Holy Lord thinks that I am still a usable person, I can't transfer it at will like this, and in any case, I have to let my term of office expire and stay for three years.

As for you, if the saint intends to promote, there is no need to hide this matter from the general, the general is also the leading military general of the Great Yin Dynasty, and if you promote his son, you will naturally have to sell him well.

What's more, if it's just like this, then there is no need to avoid Yang Tingshi.

So after thinking about it, I felt that there should be something inconvenient for outsiders to know, and the two of us needed to do it. ”

Ye Yuanzhou felt that she was reasonable, and his brows relaxed: "If that's the case, then you don't have to think about anything!"

Whether it is a beautiful difference or a hot potato, in short, Your Majesty wants to tell us in person, that is, it cannot be pushed away, let it be fate! ”

The next day, the two of them agreed the day before, and waited until after the court to hand over the sign, but this time it is estimated that the emperor has informed them in advance, and there is no need to wait for a long time, there are already chamberlains waiting to guide them.

The chamberlain who led the way was still the same as the day before, and he was still very enthusiastic about both of them, and his words were flattering in both his expression and words.

Du Ruo was polite to the waiters, but Ye Yuanzhou was still very resistant to these non-male and non-female waiters, and he didn't even want to look at them more.

This time, the face saint was still in the imperial study, and the three of them talked about the situation for about an hour behind closed doors, and the two of them left there and left the palace.

Because they were in a hurry to enter Beijing, they didn't carry any bags and baggage, Ye Yuanzhou simply didn't even go back to the Hussar General's Mansion, and on the way out of Beijing, he passed by his own house and asked the porter to give a message, saying that His Majesty had sent an errand, and the time was tight, so he set off directly.

The porter of the General's Mansion didn't seem to be surprised by the second young master's behavior, and he was not very surprised, so he responded repeatedly, and Ye Yuanzhou rode out of the city with Du Ruo.

Ye Yuanzhou's words for his own concierge were not perfunctory, they were indeed Songzhou who hurried back along the way.

For no other reason, the two of them returned to Songzhou to pack their luggage and belongings, and they had to continue their journey to Yuzhou.

On the way back to Songzhou, although Du Ruo's buttocks and two legs were extremely sore due to the bumpy ride, she was still wrapped in thick doubts in her heart and couldn't figure out her head.

The matter of entering Beijing to face the saint was really guessed by her in advance, and the emperor really had a tricky errand that was not difficult to say in the end, but it was very strange to hand over to the two of them.

It is rumored that there is an ancient house somewhere in Yuzhou, although the ancient house has been abandoned for many years, it can still be seen that the original grandeur can be seen, but it is rumored that this is a murderous house, not only haunted, but also extremely fierce.

Legend has it that the evil spirits in the ancient mansion are very terrifying and can kill people, and over the years, several people have been bold enough to enter the ancient mansion, and they all died mysteriously in it.

As a result, the locals were terrified, not to mention the ancient house, and no one dared to continue to live there even in the houses around the ancient house, and few people dared to walk there in the surrounding streets and alleys even in broad daylight.

This thing is weird and naturally weird, especially to Du Ruo, a person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, it is simply a proper man-made disaster.

But what is even more bizarre than this "ghost killing" is that this incident was not reported by the local officials, and the local government, whether it is the county or the state, does not say a word about this matter.

However, the emperor just knew!

When the emperor handed over the errand of investigating this murderous mansion to the two of them, he only said that he was worried that someone was secretly using strange power to cause a riot and cause trouble, so he needed to send someone trustworthy and skillful to make a secret visit.

But he didn't tell Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou how this strange incident that happened in Yuzhou, which was far away from the mountains and rivers of the capital, reached his ears.

If the emperor didn't say anything about this, of course they didn't dare to ask.

Along the way, neither of them said anything, until they returned to Songzhou, Ye Yuanzhou invited Du Ruo to his governor's mansion again, and the two of them sat down in his study, and Ye Long and Ye Hu guarded the door, so they were relieved to talk about this matter.

Du Ruo told Ye Yuanzhou about his doubts, but Ye Yuanzhou didn't think it was anything unusual.

"The emperor naturally has his eyes and ears, and he doesn't necessarily need the state capitals to report it to him before he can know." He said to Du Ruo.

Of course, Du Ruo didn't have any doubts about this statement, but she entered the palace this time and had a new understanding.

"The emperor sits high in the palace, although he seems to be the master of the world, but the high palace walls, deep in the inner courtyard, are enough to close his eyes and ears, and isolate him from everything outside.

All he could see was what the ministers of the court and the central government wanted him to see.

What he could hear, only the courtiers had the heart to let him hear.

That's all.

Although there are eyes and ears, the kite released is only flying eight feet high, and it may not be recovered, not to mention those so-called eyes and ears are outside, who is under the order, this matter is hard to say.

Everyone has one in their chest, but it is difficult to say whether they are faithful or not. ”

Ye Yuanzhou understood what Du Ruo meant: "Also, it's not just red apricots that can go out of the wall." ”

"You and I were summoned to the palace because of the 'Hongyanlu' case." Du Ruo frowned and pondered, "Although this case can be regarded as saving people from fire and water, it is not very beautiful.

The other party hid too deeply, cutting off every clue we could find at the last moment, leaving us with no way to continue digging deeper.

But the saint summoned us into the palace and praised us.

I think the reason for this should be that our harvest this time has made His Majesty realize that his eyes and ears are not everything that can be seen and heard.

It is estimated that he also wants to test it, otherwise there would not be such an errand as this secret visit to the murderous mansion. I want to see if my ears and eyes are as clear as I originally thought. ”
