Half a month later, Tian Xiju sent Ru'er a return gift to Queen Zhang.

Empress Zhang solemnly wrote a few words of thanks to Tian Xiju on a clean white silk.

Ru'er was angry and hateful, and when she went back, she put Ayako in front of Tian Xiju, and sat aside with her pout.

Tian Xiju didn't expect Empress Zhang to be so careful, so she said to Ru'er with a smile, "Don't worry about the queen, if she hadn't sent a gift first, the palace wouldn't have asked you to go." In the future, this kind of thing will be done by someone else. ”

Ru'er must know that she has too many things, and Tian Xiju doesn't dare to blame her too much.

Not long after, Tian Xiju's reply written behind Ayako was delivered to Empress Zhang.

Looking at the handwriting on Ayako, Empress Zhang smiled knowingly.

Chuyang County:

Wang Si and Tian Yong were drinking in the lobby of the county office.

A soldier ran in and whispered something in Tian Yong's ear.

Tian Yong's face changed.

"Since my little sister sent a book, there must be something important in the imperial court, maybe I want to wait for the army to start in advance." Tian Yong said to Wang Si, and then instructed the soldiers: "Quickly call someone to come in and see me." ”

The man who came in was a eunuch.

Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, the appearance of a eunuch was extremely obvious.

"The slave came to deliver a book to Uncle Tian Guo on the order of Concubine Ju Niangniang, but, it's just that there are many people here, does Uncle Tian Guo want to move to other places to watch?" The eunuch said, constantly scanning Wang Si's face with his eyes.

Wang Si's expression was a little embarrassed.

"General Wang Si is not an outsider, you just have to submit the letter." Tian Yong said.

"This ......" The eunuch hesitated, and seemed to be very embarrassed, "Concubine Ju Niangniang specially told the villain that the letter could only be presented when Uncle Tian Guo was alone, not just for General Wang Si. ”

"How can you be so verbose?" Tian Yong was a little displeased.

Wang Si stood up.

"I'm afraid that Concubine Ju has an extremely confidential matter that needs to be discussed with Uncle Tian Guo, and the villain should avoid it first."

Since coming here, as a national prisoner, Wang Si also knows that he is not like he is in Wujun here, and he needs to be patient in everything.

Wang Si said, exiting from the lobby and walking towards the courtyard behind.

Wei Qing'er lives here.

Seeing Wang Si leaving, the eunuch took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Tian Yong.

Tian Yongzai read it carefully, put the letter on the table, and looked at the eunuch with some suspicion.

"It's just an ordinary letter from home, why is it so mysterious?"

The eunuch shook his head.

"The slave didn't know the content of the letter, and the slave just acted according to Concubine Ju's instructions. By the way, Concubine Ju also told the slave that it was best for Uncle Tian to destroy it immediately after reading it, so as not to be suspected by others that your brother and sister have correspondence. ”

"Little sister, be careful." Tian Yong didn't think much about it, and put the letter next to the candle on the table.

Seeing that the letter was burned, the eunuch's face showed a very relieved smile.

"Uncle Tian Guo, can you give Concubine Ju a reply? The minions don't dare to delay here, and they need to rush back as soon as possible. ”

"It's okay, General Ben will write you a letter of reply." Tian Yong instructed someone to prepare pen and ink, and soon, he wrote a reply letter and handed it to the eunuch.

The eunuch leaves.

"The wine is not yet enjoyable, please come back and continue to drink." Sending the eunuch away, Tian Yong said.

At this time, Wang Si was in Wei Qing'er's house.

"I see that Tian Yong has a rude personality, I'm afraid that the things are not thoughtful, Brother Wang needs to be reminded more, and he must pay attention to the people around him. We are the criminals that His Majesty will take strictly, and if others know that we are here, I am afraid that there will be no way to live. When the little sister was in the palace, she knew Concubine Ju very well, and this person was narrow-minded and could not tolerate people. You and my brother and sister also need to beware of what she says in Tian Yong's ear. Wei Qing'er said.

Wang Si sighed.

"After Tian Yong came back from the capital a few days ago, an assassin came to assassinate the little sister, and now I think it may have something to do with Concubine Ju." Seeing that Wang Si was silent, Wei Qing'er said again.

What Wei Qing'er said happened not long ago.

The assassin was sent by Tian Yong.

He knew that if he wanted to kill Wei Qing'er in the open, he would inevitably incur Wang Si's dissatisfaction, and if he didn't do it, he would fight with him, so he had to send someone secretly, but he didn't expect that Wei Qing'er's kung fu was very high, and the assassin not only succeeded, but also almost put his own life on the line.

Worried that Wang Si and Wei Qing'er would be suspicious, after the incident, Tian Yong conducted a search in the county seat, but the result was naturally over.

For this reason, Wang Si almost refused to leave Wei Qing'er again.

"Sister Qing'er is too worried, hearing Tian Yong's words, Concubine Ju also agrees with our intentions, and has also contacted some people in the forbidden army in the capital, so it will not be a threat to you and me." Wang Si said.

Wei Qing'er smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Brother Wang is loyal, not deeply involved in the world, and he doesn't know the stakes yet. The former Ling Zhan and others strongly supported Brother Wang, but they also colluded with Che Wei and Shen Yu and others behind their backs, and Brother Wang had to guard against Tian Yong. ”

At this time, the people sent by Tian Yong asked Wang Si to go back and continue drinking.

Wang Si stood up and walked out.

Wei Qing'er looked at Wang Si's back and sighed.

There are many people in Tian Yong's backyard of the county government, in addition to his own family, there are more than a dozen people employed, and after Wei Qing'er arrived, Tian Yong specially sent a girl over.

As soon as Wang Si went out, the girl walked in.

"I heard Brother Wang say that Concubine Ju in the palace sent someone to send a letter to Uncle Tian Guo, can you see who is coming?" Wei Qing'er asked.

The little girl covered her mouth and smiled.

"Sister Qing'er didn't see anyone coming, but the slave maid could see it clearly. This person is really strange, he looks like an old woman. Are all the men in the palace like this? ”

Wei Qing'er also smiled.

After many years in the palace, she naturally knew what a eunuch looked like. She didn't want to discuss these things with her, though.

"Do you remember what this person looks like?"

The little girl thought for a moment.

"Because I thought this person was strange, the slave maid took a few more looks, but I saw that there seemed to be a scar on the left side of his face, and there was nothing special about other places." The little girl replied.

Wei Qing'er was taken aback.

She thought of a person, a eunuch who was only on duty in Jing'an Palace every day - Yang Yun. He, like Qiao Xi, is a courtier next to Empress Zhang, but he is more often responsible for the affairs outside Jing'an Palace. The scar on his face was still when Deng Ai's men entered the palace and were injured by a Cao Wei soldier.

In addition, Wei Qing'er could no longer remember any other eunuch in the palace with scars on his face.

Thinking of this, Wei Qing'er's heart thumped wildly.

Empress Zhang actually asked the people around her to pretend to be the people sent by Concubine Ju, such a bold behavior really made Wei Qing'er a little worried.

"Did anyone leave?" Wei Qing'er pretended to be careless and asked casually.

"I've already left, and I've probably arrived at the gates of the city by this time." The little girl replied, and said, "Sister Qing'er has also been in the palace before, if you have the opportunity, can you tell the slave maid about the interesting things in the palace?" ”

"Okay, my sister will tell you slowly in the future." Wei Qing'er said.
