It's a pity that no matter how angry Lu Wuji is, these guards have never caught anyone, even if they go out of the palace early every day to squat, they still haven't found anyone.

But every day, the fireworks are lit on time.

And by the time they rushed to the place where the fireworks might be set off, the building had already been empty, and no clues could be found.

"The subordinates are incompetent." The chief guard fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

Lu Wuji was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes, how could he have suffered such a humiliation, and couldn't help but scold: "He Fangxiao, the fireworks don't dare to be set off openly, they only dare to hide their heads and tails." You're all rubbish, you can't even catch a bunch of rats, and you let them escape every time, where do you put the royal face! ”

He has always had a strong desire to control, and he has a tough style in court affairs, and no powerful minister dares to oppose him.

But he just set off a firework, but he was ridiculed like this, which instantly made the Ninety-Five Zun unbearable.

Due to the emperor's embarrassed mood, the atmosphere in the palace was tense, and no one dared to put a beak.

However, the person who set off the fireworks seemed to know that he had touched the emperor's scales, not only did not restrain himself, but intensified it.

The fireworks continued to be set off for ten days before they stopped, and of course no one was caught until the end, let alone the mastermind behind the scenes.

The chief of the guard was not only demoted, but also beaten, and the entire guard battalion was eaten and hanged.

Even if the fireworks were no longer set off, Lu Wuji's face was still ugly, and even when he went to court, the officials could detect the gloomy mood of the Ninety-Five.

In this high-pressure state, not to mention the palace people who are waiting, even the important ministers of the court can't stand it.

They were afraid of being angered by the emperor, so they inevitably discussed it in private, wanting to solve the root cause and save their lives.

"You say, 'What's wrong with this one?' It's not really for the ten days of fireworks, so angry now, right? "Someone gave a thumbs up, referring to the emperor.

"It's easy to be impulsive when you're angry, fortunately, there's nothing urgent these days, but it's not a way to go on like this for a long time."

"No, this one is just a habit of making a fool of himself, and he has been provoked by chance, and he may be in a few days—" Someone objected.

"I hope so, I'm afraid that this person has something else in his heart."

"What's going on?"

The official who spoke first looked left and right, still sighed lightly, and said bluntly: "Who has the ability to set off fireworks outside the palace for ten days without being caught by the palace guards?" It proves that the guards raised by that person must be more skilled than the palace guards, or they have internal responses in the palace, and they can hear the news every time, so they are perfect to dodge. ”

"These two points, no matter which point, prove that this person's strength is very strong, and he can wrestle with this person."

As soon as his words fell, he drew an inhalation.

"The most suspicious ones are the crown prince and several princes, or a powerful minister." Some people make this conjecture.

"But I haven't even caught a single subordinate, so there's no way to find out. No wonder this man has been emotionally unstable for several days on end. ”

After several people discussed, they couldn't help but sigh.

The emperor's mind can indeed be guessed, but if he guesses correctly, there is nothing to be done, they can't solve it at all.

There is no human or material evidence, and the Ninety-Five Lords are suffering from having no handle to attack people, so what can they do!

The summer trip ended in such a gloomy and bleak atmosphere, and everyone packed their bags and went home together.

On the way back, Chen Xueying still called Lu Zhao into the carriage, but before the two could say a few words, the voice of the little eunuch came from outside.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave is Li Zhuo who is serving in the Longqian Palace, the emperor ordered the little one to come over, please go to the front of the convoy to lead the team. There is a dense forest nearby, but I am afraid that there will be fierce beasts. ”

"Lone knows."

After the little eunuch walked away, Lu Zhao and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, their eyes were complicated, obviously they had a thousand words to say in their hearts, and finally held back.

The man took her hand, squeezed it slightly, and quickly jumped out of the carriage.

He was hinting to her: If you have anything to say, you will talk about it later, the old pervert is going to have another illness recently, so as not to have ears in the wall.

Several princes were also called out, but fortunately, the weather was not as hot as before they came, and even if they stayed outside, there would be no risk of heat stroke.

On the way back, Lu Zhao didn't go back to the carriage.

waited until they returned to the East Palace, where the couple sat on chairs in the inner hall, holding a cup of tea in their hands, before they breathed a sigh of relief.

What does he mean by that? Torture is going to start again? Chen Xueying frowned and asked very unhappily.

The old pervert is extremely angry, he is not happy, he is sure that the whole palace will not be happy, and Lu Wuji's depression will last for a long time, until all the people he feels can threaten him are pressed down.

"Lu Qingming was hung on the palace gate, and the fireworks had already touched his scales. His revenge will come soon, and it will be very turbulent. ”

"Do you want me to do anything? Jia Zhaoyi is now deeply loved, and she must see the old perverted mind most clearly. Do you want me to contact her? Although she is now back in the palace, her embattled environment has not changed, and even because the palace is controlled by Concubine Yu, she will be in more danger, if I take the initiative to contact her, the previous alliance contract will definitely be counted. ”

Chen Xueying pondered for a moment, then made a decision in her heart and took the initiative to ask questions.

The man shook his head: "No need, it's not a deal." Relatively speaking, she is in a more difficult situation than we are, and the alliance should be more needed by her. If we take the initiative, we will lose the opportunity. ”

Chen Xueying shrugged, originally she had no intention of getting involved in this matter, since Lu Zhao said so, it was even more impossible for her to force it.

"What if she asks someone else to work with? Whether it is the second prince or the prince, they must accept her overtures. Don't regret it. She reminded.

Seeing that she said so solemnly, Lu Zhao turned his head to look at her, and couldn't help laughing.

"Why do you still have the ambition of others, how can you compare with me. At first glance, he is not a person who has achieved great things, and besides, Concubine Yu and Concubine Xiang have not had friction with Jia Zhaoyi. She is pregnant with dragon seeds, and she is so favored that she compares to the other women in the palace, and the two of them may have quietly stumbled. ”

"Even if it is for the sake of the great cause, they agree that their son will cooperate with Jia Zhaoyi, but if the second elder succeeds in usurping the throne, do you think these two will regret it? Jia Zhaoyi's life of honor and disgrace are tied to the favor and her mother's family, and once that one is gone, she will be in a passive position, if the new emperor finds another opportunity to take the Zhong family to the end, when the time comes, it is not a matter of the new emperor's words. ”

"The most important thing is that the second elder doesn't look like a trustworthy person either."

Lu Zhao obviously had a plan for a long time, and now he listened to her carefully.

Seeing his eloquent appearance, Chen Xueying couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Sure enough, the old saying is true, men who are serious are the most handsome.

"Are you putting gold on your face, could it be that you are a trustworthy person?" She couldn't help but tease.

"Surely they are more trustworthy than they are."

Chen Xueying clapped her hands: "Okay, I know how to do it." If she comes to me and tells me about the alliance, I will promise her for you, and I will leave it to you. ”

They had also discussed this matter before, even if they really formed an alliance, it was Lu Zhao who sent someone to contact Jia Zhaoyi, and she didn't want to be a mouthpiece all the time.

After the two made up their minds, Chen Xueying went to the martial arts arena and played fiercely with the wolves who had not seen each other for a long time.

A few days later, Jia Zhaoyi really came to her, and of course the reason was made.

"Now I already know that after the baby in my belly is born, I will be sent to the she-wolf after being raised by my side for half a year. I have never been in contact with wolves, and the other wolves in the palace are all fierce, only the wolves here are more kind, this time I came to ask the princess to help, when you play with the wolves, let me watch from a distance. ”

Jia Zhaoyi's excuse is quite good, after all, in the past few days, the emperor has begun to attack the princes, and the atmosphere is when it is tense, and every move of everyone in the palace falls in the eyes of others.

Jia Zhaoyi came to find the crown princess at this moment, and in this special period, she was really a little sensitive, but she came prepared, and Lu Wuji nodded.

"That's fine, of course, I'm going to play with them, and you're here by coincidence." Chen Xueying had a smile on her face, obviously in a good mood, and her tone was much more enthusiastic than before.

The two went to the martial arts arena together, and the wolves had been released, and when they heard Chen Xueying's voice, the wolves who were originally making a fuss stopped one after another, pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

When it was confirmed that it was really Chen Xueying coming, she rushed over in an instant.

It's obviously a pack of wolves, but it's not difficult to find that they all have happy expressions on their faces, and they look happy.

Seeing their surging appearance, the palace people led by Jia Zhaoyi all changed their faces suddenly, and a thought instantly popped up in their minds: Hungry wolves pounce on food?

They hurriedly stood forward and blocked in front of Jia Zhaoyi, afraid that they would not be able to stop this group of wolves, so they pounced on them excitedly and directly knocked out the dragon in Jia Zhaoyi's belly.

Chen Xueying didn't have a hurried expression, and even raised her hand and made a downward motion: "You can't pounce on people, sit!" ”

When she said this, she was completely soft-spoken, but this group of wolves really put away their teeth and claws, and instantly sat down obediently on the ground.

"Good job, hand." She complimented and said to the wolf in front of her.

Immediately the wolf put his hand in her palm, and she said, "The other one." ”

When the words fell, the wolf really changed his other paw and put it on, so obedient.

Chen Xueying took out a piece of meat from the bucket, fed it to eat, and patted the back of its neck: "Okay, let's play!" ”

The wolf rushed away in an instant, and immediately another wolf took over, moved in front of her and began to interact, waiting for her to feed the meat.

Jia Zhaoyi and the palace people in front of her all looked at her in surprise.

The wolves actually knew how to line up, standing in front of her, almost all of them stuck out their tongues, their mouths were split, and they looked like they were laughing, even if they were so greedy that their saliva was flowing all over the ground, they still did not squeeze up, but stood obediently in their positions, even better than the trained dogs.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a pack of dogs.

And Chen Xueying is obviously not surprised by these scenes, she will interact with each wolf twice, and then feed them meat, the interaction content is not limited to shaking hands, spinning circles, and jumping, etc., and each wolf cooperates seamlessly.

"Tsk, yawn, haven't you just eaten it? How come again! ”

When a wolf came up to her, Chen Xueying immediately slurred her lips in dissatisfaction, raised her hand as she spoke, and slapped the wolf in the face.

After this slap, the palace people around Jia Zhaoyi were startled, and they all waited for it, and even raised their hands to make a blocking and protective action, for fear that the wolf would be hit in a hurry, and directly began to attack the people around them.

But the wolf only barked at her twice, and then left reluctantly, rushing over to bite the other wolves, apparently out of his anger.

Chen Xueying glanced at it and raised her voice and said, "It's okay to play, don't bite too fiercely, whoever bites bleed, don't eat this meat today." ”

I don't know if the wolf understood, but it really stopped talking and fell to the ground with a snort, looking listless.

Jia Zhaoyi took a heavy look, this wolf called yawning was the largest in the wolf pack, and when it rushed over to vent its anger, the other wolves didn't dare to resist more, and even a few saw it rushing over, so they lay down directly and showed their belly at it, obviously meaning surrender.

Even if she hadn't seen any wolves, she could guess that Yawn was the head wolf of the pack, and he was very smart, and even knew how to cut the queue twice to trick meat into eating.

It's just that because its size is too prominent, even strangers who meet it for the first time can see that it is different, not to mention Chen Xueying, who gets along with the wolves day and night, naturally recognizes this little slippery head at a glance.

Soon, a group of wolves were all fed, and after saying hello, Chen Xueying waved her hand, and a palace person came over carrying a simplified wooden cart with a rein on it, and the palace people directly put the rope around the necks of several wolves.

The neck was put on a rope, which meant losing their teeth, but the wolves didn't care at all, and there were even a few unsuccessful wolves, who kept moving forward, arching the rope with their noses, scrambling to be the first to be put around their necks.

Those palace people didn't dare to drive them away, so they could only speed up the movements in their hands.

If there is a slight slowness, the competitors who come out will argue with the wolves waiting for the quilt, baring their fangs, letting out a low roar of warning in their throats, and bowing their bodies, looking like they are ready to bite at any moment.

At this time, Chen Xueying would scold loudly, and the occasional scolding didn't work, so she walked up and chased the troublesome wolf, and the wolf that bit in an instant separated.

"Well, whether you pull the cart or not today, you all have meat to eat. Drive! ”

She got into the low car, comforted her, pulled the rope in her hand, shook it hard, and in an instant, the wolves who were tied to their necks got the signal and rushed out directly with the car.

Apparently, she rode the wolves like horses.

Not only did the wolves not feel insulted, but they even ran as fast as they could.

As they galloped, a wind blew through the wolves, blowing up all the fur on their bodies, and one after another the wolves stuck out their tongues, as if they were chasing the wind the most, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt that they were not very smart. ：，，
