Zhen'er finished burning the firewood, but it was not without achievements, she boiled a large pot of hot water.

In line with the principle of not wasting it, Li Qing poured hot water into the bath bucket and comfortably soaked in the hot bath.

Zhu Qizhen's problem has not been solved, and the matter of the Qian family has been put in front of him again, which can be described as a wave of unsettled and wave after wave.

However, Li Qing was not worried, there were more lice and no itching, and there were more debts, he leaned against the wall of the bath barrel and enjoyed it with peace of mind.

It wasn't until most of the heat in the water had lost so much of the water that he jumped out of the tub, dried himself and changed into a clean robe.

Outside, it was already dark.

The heavy snow is still falling, and the sight is quite good against the background of the white snow.

Li Qing admired the snow for a while and set off to Qianfu.

~

'Bell, bell, bell...! Li Qing knocked on the door, and after a while, a puzzled voice came from the gatehouse in the courtyard: "Who?" ”

"The official is looking for a rich man." Li Qing shouted, "One hundred thousand urgent things." ”

"It's coming, it's coming." The voice was obviously much more respectful, and soon the door was opened, "The little one has seen the adult. ”

"I have an urgent matter with your master, so let him come to see me quickly." Li Qing said solemnly.

It was dark, Li Qing was not wearing an official uniform, and his subordinates were not sure of his background, seeing his awesome and commanding appearance, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment:

"Wait a minute, and the little one will go and invite the master."

"Ang, hurry up." Li Qing nodded and walked into the Qian Mansion.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Qian Gui walked over wearing a big hat, and when he saw that it was Li Qing, his face couldn't help but change.

"It's so late, why did Mr. Li come to the house?"

"Give the Empress Taishang a medical treatment." Li Qing said shamelessly.

The person was stolen by him, and he didn't care about the expensive money, which was really shameless.

"Huh? This ......," Qian Gui said, "It's so late, Empress Taishang is resting, Mr. Li might as well come back tomorrow." ”

Qian Gui's head is as big as a fight, and he has no good way but to delay as much as possible.

Qian is his daughter, but she is also the queen of the Taishang, and it is a big crime to lose someone.

The emperor has changed, and the queen mother doesn't like her, so what kind of illness do you see...... Qian Gui complained in his heart, but he was smiling on his face: "It's really a coincidence today." ”

Saying that, you have to let people send off guests.

Li Qing took two steps forward and came closer and said: "The Queen Mother asked me to send a message to Empress Taishang, and I must tell Empress Taishang herself that there is a matter of urgency." ”

"This ......" Qian Gui's face turned white, he looked at Li Qing, then at the night, gritted his teeth, and said, "Mr. Li, please come with me." ”

walked all the way into the guest hall, Qian Gui sent his subordinates away, tied the door, turned his head again, and knelt directly to Li Qing:

"Mr. Li, we're old friends, you have to pull my brother."

"What are you doing?" Li Qing looked puzzled and shocked, and hurriedly helped him up, "I have something to say." ”

Qian Gui cried with a sad face, and said with a wry smile: "What kind of countryman, the current situation is ...... I'm older, if my brother doesn't dislike it, call me Brother Qian. ”

I hate it, and you're not as big as me...... Li Qing's belly sneered, and said with a smile: "This can't be helped, the emperor respects the Empress Taishang very much, and the Queen Mother is also very attentive to the Empress Taishang." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qian Gui's heart was even colder, colder than the ice and snow outside.

Seeing that the set was almost a failure, Qian Gui played the emotional card again and chatted about the past.

In fact, the two have no friendship at all, that is, Zhu Qizhen loved the house and Wu at the beginning, and often left money to eat in the palace, and the two of them had a friendship of eating together at most.

"If it weren't for the villain this time, you would be on the squire," Qian Gui said angrily: "With your merits, brother, don't say that being a squire is more than enough, and being a scholar is more than enough, my brother has listened to Shi Heng and them, the defense of the capital division, the courage of the elder brother." ”

Qian Gui is a military attaché, Shi Heng is a new military general, and he is in the limelight, so Qian Gui naturally wants to make friends with him.

There is Shi Biao's big mouth preaching everywhere, and Li Qing's name is still very loud.

Li Qing coped with a few words, and then brought the topic to business: "Let's invite the Empress Taishang, I am here by the order of the Empress Dowager." ”

Money is expensive, and the words are all said to this part, what else can I do?

"Brother, I'll tell you the truth, Queen Taishang...... Lost! ”

"What?" Li Qing suddenly got up and said in shock: "This... How is this possible? ”

Qian Gui was about to cry, "I know, it's unbelievable, but ...... That's the truth! ”

"When did you lose it, did you send someone to find it?" Li Qing's expression was serious, his face was solemn and anxious.

"It's been lost a long time ago." Qian Gui cried, "Since you finished seeing her sick, she has disappeared without a trace." ”

"Did you find it?" Li Qing asked.

"I found it, but only secretly." Qian Gui wiped away his tears, "I don't dare to publicize this." ”

"It's broken." Li Qing sat on the chair and muttered, "How is this good, I will go to welcome the Emperor Taishang in two days, and the Queen Mother asked me to send a message to the Empress Taishang, asking her to go to Nangong to live temporarily, waiting for the Emperor Taishang......"

With that, he got up again, "No, I need to report it immediately." ”

"I can't help it...... Qian Gui hugged Li Qing and cried: "If this thing is poked out, the Qian family will be abolished." ”

"Brother, if you have any difficulties, tell your brother, as long as your brother can do it, you won't frown." Qian Gui hugged Li Qing and didn't let go, "For the sake of the past, you can just take a brother." ”

"Spread out."

"No." Qian Gui shook his head frantically, "Ten thousand taels, no, fifty thousand taels, I beg you." ”

"You spread out first, and we'll talk slowly."

"Hey, okay." Qian Gui also said that Li Qing lost his money, and his nervous mood relaxed a lot, "Brother, don't worry, I will raise money tonight, and I will send it to you tomorrow." ”

Li Qing waved his hand: "I can't hide this matter, I can hide it for a while, but I can't hide it for a lifetime, tomorrow you go to the palace with me, and I will help you make peace." ”

"It's... Will this work? Qian Gui was uneasy.

Li Qing said: "Empress Taishang is concerned about the Emperor Taishang, and she ran away from home all night to look for him. ”

paused: "The emperor is kind-hearted and won't be embarrassed for you." ”

"It's... I don't believe it, can she find the Emperor Taishang with a weak woman...... Can the emperor and the queen mother believe it? Qian Gui said bitterly, "Also, after the Emperor Taishang came back, what did he say?" ”

"That's the only way, I can't hide this matter at all, so I just spread it out and said it." Li Qing soothed, "You are the biological father of Empress Taishang, and after the Empress Taishang comes back, he will not embarrass you." ”

“…… All right! Qian Gui said dejectedly, "Don't worry, brother, as long as you are willing to help, after the matter is completed, I will promise you a lot of money." ”

"Forget it, this official is not that kind of person." Li Qing refused.

Li Qing has no quality, but there is a bottom line, this time the money in his pit is expensive, and he will not fall into the well again.

"Brotherly righteousness." Qian Gui said movingly.

Li Qing sneered: "It's all old friends, say this and see the outside, you will go to me tomorrow morning." ”

"Hey, okay." Qian Gui nodded again and again.

……

Next.

Li Qing and Qian Gui rushed into the palace to face the saint after the early dynasty dispersed.

Zhu Qiyu was also shocked when he learned that his sister-in-law was missing, but he was not too worried.

He and Zhu Qizhen are brothers and have feelings, but the eldest brother's woman ...... After all, there are so many, although the Qian family is the main palace.

However, Empress Taishang's status is noble, and the dignity of the court cannot be ignored, and she cannot be found if she is missing.

"When?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Qian Gui said timidly: "Yes... It's been more than half a month. ”

He didn't dare to tell the truth.

"It's been so long to tell me?" Zhu Qiyu was a little angry.

Li Qing said: "Your Majesty, it's better to invite the Queen Mother to come over for this kind of thing, after all, ...... It's a harem thing. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded slowly: "Come on, go and invite the Queen Mother to come over." ”

Two quarters of an hour later, Sun came:

"The emperor summoned the mourning family, what's the matter?"

Zhu Qiyu pointed to Qian Gui, "Tell the Queen Mother about it." ”

Qian Gui knelt on the ground and repeated what he had just said to Zhu Qiyu.

After hearing this, Sun's brows furrowed tightly, and after a long time, she sighed: "Don't look for it, so be it." ”ΟиЪ.ōΓＧ

Qian Gui was overjoyed, but Zhu Qiyu was puzzled.

Seeing that there was no one else in the palace, Sun said directly: "She is a weak woman who ran away from home, where can she go?" What should I do if I encounter a bad guy on the road?

Even if the court kills the other party's entire family, it can't save the face of the court!

She is the queen of the throne, and the court needs to be decent, so she ...... I'm not looking for it! ”

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly: Yes, the imperial sister-in-law is alone, and the possibility of meeting a bad person is too great, if it is ...... Alas!

He is a little unforgiving, but he is an emperor and cannot help but think about the royal decency.

Sun didn't like Qian very much, if it weren't for her son coming back soon, she wouldn't be able to remember this person.

"So be it." Sun glanced at Li Qing and Qian Gui, "This matter must not be publicized, you know?" ”

"Obey." The two gave up.

Qian is not a queen anymore, she doesn't need to show up, she is just a woman in the deep palace, and no one cares about her.

Li Qing relaxed, and sure enough, Sun was smart, saving him from wasting his tongue.

It ended perfectly.

But then, the clever Sun arranged an errand for Li Qing.
