"Erchen knows that his mother is well-intentioned, but Erchen still has a lot of things to do, and only after everything is completed can he discuss the matter of recovering the lost land. At that time, the son will definitely carefully consider the mother's suggestion. In Cining Palace, Liu Yong stood at the foot of the steps and said to Empress Dowager Wu.

Empress Dowager Wu nodded.

After inquiring about the war, Empress Dowager Wu persuaded Liu Yong not to personally expropriate the lost land, so in exchange for Liu Yong's words.

"The queen mother knows that you are rough by nature, bold and careful, and not as weak and incompetent as your brother, which is beyond the reach of my father." Empress Dowager Wu looked very proud.

"The son thanked his mother for the compliment."

"That's right." Empress Dowager Wu seemed to suddenly remember something, "Since the Wei army occupied the capital, the palace was also controlled by it, the original order was disrupted, all the concubines and concubines could not come here on time, and Qi'er had not been here for a long time, I wonder if she is okay now?" ”

"After the mother Hongfu, Qi'er is fine, and when the son goes back, he will ask her to come here to say hello." Liu Yong replied.

Empress Dowager Wu observed Liu Yong's face.

"The queen mother is only worried about the concubines in the palace, and there is no need for the emperor to force everyone to come here."

Liu Yong knew what Empress Dowager Wu meant. What she cares about is not really Empress Zhang's body, but whether she has become her real harem queen.

The conversation between mother and son became more relaxed, and after an hour, they were still as interested.

At this time, a eunuch on duty hurriedly ran in and whispered something in Liu Yong's ear, and Liu Yong's expression changed.

"After returning to his mother, the son-in-law has urgent matters to deal with, so he will leave."

"The emperor is very busy, and he needs to take care of his health." Empress Dowager Wu nodded.

Liu Yong followed the eunuch out quickly.

Ling'er, who had been hiding at the gate of the palace, watched Liu Yong's footsteps hurriedly run in the direction of the imperial study, knowing that the eunuch's body had been discovered, but she just smiled secretly in her heart. According to the calculation of time, Li Yin should have been out of the palace for a long time at this time.

Ling'er now has something else to do.

She was going to find Liu Yong before he found Chen Ji.

This is a very ordinary street, with two corresponding alleys on both sides of the street, like two giant eyes, looking at each other.

A man slowly walked out of an alley.

Not far behind him, two tall young men followed nervously, but they deliberately pretended not to know the person in front of them.

The three of them quickly got into another alley.

This alley is relatively wide, and the people who live in it are also high-rise mansions, and most of them are hung with red lanterns at the door, and plaques such as "Liu's Mansion", "Ma's Mansion" and "Zhu's Mansion" can be seen everywhere.

In the innermost part of the alley, in front of a mansion with a slightly higher courtyard wall, at this time, more than a dozen warriors who looked like forbidden soldiers stood with swords hanging from their waists.

A plaque with the words "Deng Fu" written on it had been removed, and a few black footprints remained on the blood-red handwriting.

In the courtyard, two wagons full of things were parked, and the coachman stood with his whip in his hand, looking ready to go.

In the courtyard at the back floor, a relatively small carriage was parked in front of the door of a room, the curtain of which had been lifted, but the owner was nowhere to be seen.

A sword-wielding samurai walked in.

"Old lady, it's not early, it's time to hit the road." The warrior said, "The villain was ordered to monitor his wife's departure from Beijing, but it was also a last resort, and I hope that the old lady is delaying, and the villain will go back as soon as possible to restore his life." ”

There was no sound in the room.

The door of the other room opened, and a girl who looked like a maid carried a small bag on her arm and walked out with a woman of eighteen or nineteen years old.

The woman was Deng Yi's favorite concubine during his lifetime and the youngest concubine in the house.

The status of a concubine was very low at that time, and sometimes it was even worse than a maid. However, this concubine is different, because of Deng Yi's favor, even Deng Yi's main wife wants her to give her three points.

Deng Yi was killed, and Liu Yong's holy decree had been issued to Deng's mansion three days ago, and he was given a deadline of three days to leave Beijing.

With the issuance of the holy decree, almost overnight, all the family members fled with all their might, and Deng Yi's many concubines also dispersed in an instant, leaving only Deng Yi's original wife and the youngest concubine, as well as an envoy girl in the huge mansion.

The two of them really had nowhere to go.

The concubine was bought from the street by Deng Yi.

At that time, in order to bury her only relative, her old father, she was willing to sell herself.

She hoped that the old lady could take her back to Deng Yi's hometown.

"The little lady is here, and the slave maid will go and urge the old lady." The girl asked the concubine to stand next to the car and walked into the old lady's house by herself.

The samurai's gaze wandered restlessly over the concubine's face and body.

Suddenly, the little maid's voice startled both of them.

"Oh no, the old lady is hanging from the beam."

The samurai hurried into the room, and the concubine shook and almost fell.

Without warning, a hand reached out from behind him and grabbed one of the concubine's delicate arms.

"Don't panic, little lady, the old man is here." The voice of the person who came was behind the concubine, and as she spoke, a disgusting air flow penetrated directly into the concubine's nostrils.

"Fei, Fei-sama?" Concubine Yan subconsciously shook off that hand and hid to the side.

The person who came was indeed Fei Gong.

Fei Gong was dressed in civilian clothes, and the two young men who followed him were stopped by the samurai when they entered the mansion gate, and Fei Gong had to walk in alone.

"Lord Deng was killed, the old lady hanged herself, does the little lady have other places to go?" Fei Gongke didn't care whether the old lady was really dead or not, a pair of colored eyes on her wrinkled face stared at the slightly pale little face of the concubine.

The concubine knew that what he thought about herself was not a day.

"Since the last time I went to the house for a banquet, I saw the face of the little lady, the old man has never forgotten it, His Majesty is gracious, and he has not asked you to wait for Lord Deng, and the old man is also very grateful. If the little lady doesn't give up, please go back to the house with the old man, how about the old man never treat you badly? Fei Gong's old face was like a dead tree bark outside, which made the concubine disgusted and frightened.

The concubine bowed her head slightly and said nothing.

At this time, the samurai came out, and the little maid followed behind with a pale face.

"How is the old lady?" The concubine said eagerly.

The little maid shook her head and said nothing.

"The old lady is dead, so the villain will go back to his life and ask for instructions on what to do." The samurai said as he strode out.

The last bit of hope was dashed, and the concubine sat down on the ground.

Fei Gong's heart was overjoyed, and he pretended to poke his head into the room and glance into the room, shaking his head and sighing.

"If the little lady is willing to give in, the old man will order someone to go back to prepare the car and take you back to the house, as for the old lady's funeral, the old man will ask His Majesty for instructions and be buried with Lord Deng."

The concubine only bowed her head and wept.

Fei Gong smiled, walked out of it, called in two entourages, and told them to go back and prepare the car.

"This matter has been explained to His Majesty by the old man, and you can't wait to stop it." Fei Gong said to several more samurai.

The warrior did not dare to offend him, so he watched him leave, and soon after, a lavishly decorated carriage took the concubine and the little maid away.

Deng Yi probably didn't expect that after his death, all his family wealth and his most beloved woman entered the Fei Mansion.
