At noon today, the people in the palace found the inn where Wan Niang lived, and Qingluan saw it very clearly, Wan Niang took the child and followed a person dressed as a eunuch into the carriage.

Qingluan followed behind, there were many pedestrians on the street, the speed of the carriage was not fast, Qingluan followed not in a hurry, she saw the carriage enter a mansion in the south of the city, and after not too long, the carriage left and returned to the palace.

Qingluan was afraid that Xu Jinrou would not find her, so she went back to the inn and waited.

Since Wan Niang did not return to the palace, then she must have been arranged by the queen to live in this mansion, Qingluan can see clearly, that mansion is, Changshan County Wangfu.

Xu Jinrou knew that the palace of Changshan County was the maiden home of Queen Xiang Xueyun.

Xiang Rong, the king of Changshan County, has a total of five sons and two daughters, Queen Xiang is his eldest daughter, and the second daughter Xiang Xuexi married and went to Bingzhou, Da Chu and Xiban had a big war, and Xiang Rong's five sons were all killed on the battlefield.

Xiang Rong should be in his seventies this year, almost eighty years old, Xu Jinrou knew that in another year he would die of a sudden illness.

Xu Jinrou and Xiang Rong didn't have many opportunities to get in touch, but the scene when they met for the first time made Xu Jinrou still remember it vividly at this time, and the roots of her teeth itched when she thought about it.

That time was after Xu Jinrou became the third envoy, she begged Liu Rentu for Xiang Rong once, this was what happened before she was reborn in this life, when in order to save King Zhao, Xu Jinrou just took the initiative to go to Liu Rentu's bed.

After Liu Rentu became the Great Chu Prisoner, he required all officials at all levels of the Great Chu to truthfully report the number, name, age and physical condition of the men in the palace, and to guard against the private hiding of men between the ages of sixteen and sixty in the palace.

After receiving the reported results, Quan Dachu conducted a thorough search, and then conducted random inspections.

Xiang Rong hid the son of one of his favorite concubines in the mansion as a disabled person, and was discovered during the random spot checks of the City Patrol Division.

After all, it was Xiang Queen's father, and the City Patrol Division reported the matter to Liu Jianguo for disposal.

Liu Rentu didn't open the net after knowing it, but decided to take this Changshan County King Xiang Rong and kill one to make an example of you.

Notices were posted all over Kyoto Castle, stating that Xiang Rong, the king of Changshan County, would be punished with a 100 rod for this matter and executed publicly, and that all the men in the palace of the king of Changshan County, except for Xiang Rong, would be assigned to Annamju, the most desolate and barren land in the Western Barbarians.

As soon as the news came out of Kyoto, Empress Xiang was even more like a pins and needles, Xiang Rong was so old, let alone a hundred rods, fifty rods could beat him to death.

Xiang Empress personally visited the prison state Liu Rentu and pleaded with her father, hoping to be exempted from the cane.

Liu Rentu asked Empress Xiang a sentence: "It's okay not to punish your father, Xiang Rong, the king of Changshan County, so the truce contract signed between the Great Chu State and the Western Barbarians will also be child's play, and the Western Barbarians can't ask for this, and they can act recklessly in the future, and then I Liu Ren Tu will not care?" ”

Xiang was speechless to the queen and returned to the palace gloomily.

When he returned to the palace, he did not give up to the queen, and ordered Xu Jinrou to be summoned to Tianshou Palace, and asked her to come forward to intercede with Liu Rentu and rescue the king of Changshan County.

At that time, Xu Jinrou was loyal to the queen, she was also anxious but not impatient, and only after careful consideration did she go to ask Liu Ren to slaughter.

She was not on the bed of the prison country's mansion, but officially visited Liu Jianguo as the third envoy of Great Chu.

Xu Jinrou saw that Liu Rentu only asked two questions: "Is it important to govern the stability of Chu or the prestige of the Western Barbarians?" Is it important to make the people of the Great Chu Kingdom willing to surrender to the Western Barbarians, or is it important to establish the prestige of the Liujian State? ”

Liu Rentu stared at Xu Jinrou, "What the third envoy said makes sense, give me a feasible way to solve this matter, or maybe save the king of Changshan County." ”

Xu Jinrou was not in a hurry, "Let Xiangrong, the king of Changshan County, write a letter of repentance and read it out in public, teach by words and deeds his own affairs, and warn the people of the Great Chu State that today's stability is not easy to come by and needs to be cherished, and it is necessary to maintain the truce contract signed at the beginning with the Ximan, so that the people of the Great Chu State can be safe." Liu Jianguo was grateful for his sincerity, and changed the cane to 10 strokes. ”

Liu Rentu thought about it seriously, "Yes, the proposal of the third envoy Liu Jianguo agreed, but you have to come to my bed at night and make me satisfied, don't wear official clothes, I don't like it." ”

Xu Jinrou was overjoyed at saving people, but she was ashamed and angry, but she could only nod her head in agreement, and left the prison mansion in the laughter of Liu Rentu and returned to the palace to resume her life.

Being able to save his father's life, Queen Xiang was naturally happy, and praised Xu Jinrou a few words, and then went to visit Xiang Rong in prison in person, and Xiang Rong had no objection at all and agreed to do so.

As soon as this incident passed, Xu Jinrou thought that the wind was calm. didn't want Xiang Rong to come to see Xu Jinrou on crutches, that was the first time she saw the king of Changshan County.

As soon as the salute was finished, Xiang Rong pointed at Xu Jinrou's nose and scolded, "You foxy slut, you are on the bed of Liu Rentu and let the king of Changshan County suffer such humiliation, how do you serve men?" Do you want to find a girl from the Qinglou to teach you? ”

Xu Jinrou was trembling with anger at the time, and she was ashamed to death, she forced herself to calm down and explain patiently.

But Xiang Rong didn't listen at all, kept scolding, and finally told Xu Jinrou to kneel in front of the palace of Changshan County for three days and three nights and not to get up, so as to save his face as the king of Changshan County.

Xiang Rong left, and when Xu Jinrou was crying, Xiang Queen's will came down, and asked her to do what King Changshan asked him to do, so that his old man's anger was smooth.

Xu Jinrou had no choice but to go to the county king's mansion to kneel, and the king of Changshan sent a servant to watch and tell Xu Jinrou that if he got up, the previous kneeling would not count and he needed to kneel again.

After a day and a night, Xu Jinrou's knees began to bleed and swell, and the next day it rained heavily, and Fang Ruo knelt beside her with an umbrella.

Liu Rentu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he rode past the gate of the county king's mansion wearing a coat of lily clothes, looked at her a few times, and left with a smile.

On the third day, watching Xu Jinrou's servants withdraw to the mansion in front of the door, Xiang Rong said that Princess Jin's sincere repentance he felt and could go.

Fang Ruo helped Xu Jinrou to get up and move, and found that her legs were no longer usable, thanks to only two days, if she knelt for another day, her legs might be useless.

Xu Jinrou went back and fell seriously ill, and almost took half of her life in the past few days.

Xu Jinrou thinks about this now, and she hates it, why was she so stupid in her last life?

Everyone treated her like this, but why didn't she understand the essence of the queen using her as a dog? It's not even as good as a dog, but it's a pity that this happened when this life was reborn, otherwise it would definitely not be this result.

Now that the queen has sent Wanniang to the palace of Changshan County, she should not want Xu Jinrou to find out, so that she can have other arrangements.

Fang Ruo frowned, "Princess, Xiang Rong is unreasonable, arrogant, he is very mean to you, I heard Ye Kai say that last time you were punished to kneel in front of the county king's mansion, Xiang Rong originally wanted to order not to let the slave maid give you an umbrella, it was Liu Rentu who asked Ye Kai to pass the word to Xiang Rong, if the woman who served Liu Jianguo had an accident, let him climb into the bed of Jianguo to serve, and Jianguo could not dislike him for being old." ”

Xu Jinrou was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but laugh "poof", "Even if Liu Rentu has this habit, Xiang Rong, who is over seventy years old, can't do it, but fortunately, he said something and hid on the third day." ”

Fang Ruo also smiled, "Liu Rentu shouldn't have this preference, otherwise Song Xing, the king of Zhao, and Song Heng, the king of Jin, are not bad." ”

Xu Jinrou glanced at Fang Ruo, "He naturally doesn't have this preference, but it's difficult for him to pass on this kind of words to Lao Xiangrong." ”

Xu Jinrou told Qingluan that her mission was over, first go back to Xu's mansion to rest, and then take her into the palace to live for a few days, Qingluan had never entered the palace, and nodded happily.

After Qingluan left, Fang Ruo asked Xu Jinrou, "Princess, don't you have to worry about Wanniang's affairs?" ”

Xu Jinrou raised her eyebrows, "Originally, my plan was to wait until the queen found Wanniang's mother and son and then ignore it, and it won't be long before the queen will bring her to me, but now that Wanniang has entered the palace of Changshan County, it is another matter." ”

"Are you going to take this opportunity to rectify Xiangrong? Princess, this matter must be involved in the slave maid, the last time he pointed his nose and scolded you, I almost died of anger, I wanted to rush up and take his life, but I didn't dare to cause you trouble. Fang Ruo clenched her fists angrily.

"Well..., if you rectify him, you will definitely be involved in it, why should people with good hearts be bullied by these wicked people?" Xu Jinrou's eyes flashed with cruelty.

"Princess, when will you do it?" Fang Ruo is ready to try.

"This matter is sooner rather than later, taking advantage of Wan Niang's entry into the Changping County Palace, it is an opportunity to rectify Xiang Rong, tomorrow..., tomorrow should be possible."

The carriage came to the Sansi Yamen and stopped, Fang Ruo got out of the car with Xu Jinrou in her arms, and before she entered the door, she saw an old man with a tall body and a sturdy physique coming towards him, it was Lu Fuhu, the salt and iron envoy.

Seeing Xu Jinrou, Lu Fuhu bowed and saluted, "Princess, the old minister is just going to see you." ”

Xu Jinrou glanced at Lu Fuhu's expression, "But is the salt road checkpoint clear?" ”

Lu Fuhu nodded, "Appointed by the princess, the old minister is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

Xu Jinrou's face was happy, "This is not the place to speak, go to the house and talk." ”

When he arrived in the hall where Xu Jinrou worked, Lu Fuhu took out three documents, "Princess, these are the customs clearance documents for the three checkpoints, all of which have been signed and sealed, and the statute of limitations is one year." ”

Xu Jinrou took the paperwork, "Salt and iron have worked hard, please sit down." ”

Lu Fuhu sat down, "The first two checkpoints were the land of Zheng and Zhao respectively, and they were friendly with my Dachu before they were destroyed by the Western Barbarians, so they only asked for five hundred taels of silver per month to be released, and the third checkpoint originally belonged to the land of Yan State, and they opened their mouths to ask Lao Chen for three thousand taels of silver per month before agreeing to open the road to transport salt." ”

Xu Jinrou frowned slightly, "Oh, the silver allocated to the Salt and Iron Division of three thousand taels a month is not enough." ”

"That's true, but the former Yanguo general who guarded the pass, had fought with the old man on the battlefield back then, and now although the two of us can't meet each other, but the two of us can fight for wine and gamble, and in the end, the old man won, and he promised two thousand taels of silver to clear the customs." Lu Fuhu spoke boldly and dryly, as if he had returned to his prime.

"This matter turned out to be like this, it was really hard work, I want you to sacrifice yourself for the country and fight with others at such an age, it really makes Jinrou admire."

"The princess is serious, the old man is a salt and iron envoy, this is my duty, I don't know when the salt road will be opened, and I ask the princess to decide."

Xu Jinrou's expression was gloomy, her eyes lowered, "Hey, I'm not the third envoy anymore." ”
