One of the hot-blooded Chang'an, drunk Chang'an

There was an accident in the prison, and it was not Li Zhi's turn to report to the palace, but he was called into the palace by Li Shimin as a witness.After some questioning, after the guards in the sky prison withdrew, Li Shimin kept Li Zhi drinking a cup of tea and asked him his thoughts on this matter.

After Xiao Meiren's accident, Li Zhi and Samodoro had not communicated in private because they were with the guards of the sky prison, so Li Zhi did not rashly speculate that Xiao Meiren would die.

But this matter is indeed suicide. Before coming to the palace, Li Zhi repeatedly confirmed with the guards that there were indeed three guards. He saw with his own eyes that Beauty Xiao had found a hairpin out of nowhere. Looking at their faces, with a smile on his face, he pierced his neck and died on the spot.

Futaba was also called to the scene, and personally inspected Xiao Meiren's body. The external injury was indeed a suicide wound, and no signs of poisoning were found inside.

When he came out of the palace, the night was gradually getting dark.

When entering the palace, Samodoro and Shuangye accompanied Li Zhi to the gate of the palace, and the three discussed the case all the way.At this moment, Li Zhi thought that the two of them should have left separately, and he also thought about going home quickly.

I didn't want to, but when I went out of the palace gate, I saw Samodoro standing there with his arms folded and his head bowed under the palace wall.If it wasn't for Sam's wearing white clothes, under the dim light, he would not have noticed anyone quietly.

"Samo, why are you still here?" Li Zhi didn't realize it, and walked towards Samo with a little brisk pace.

"Of course I'm waiting for you, Li Shaoqing." Samodoro raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slyly, "It's already a quarter of a century, and I'm waiting for Li Shaoqing to take me in."

Li Zhi smiled, of course he knew that Samodoro was not waiting for him to take him in.If when he enters the palace, Samo will go back to Fanshe, naturally there is no reason why he cannot enter the palace.This person has obviously been waiting here for almost an hour.

Li Zhi looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and felt that the moonlight tonight was really beautiful.

Summer followed Li Zhi back to his house.

It's not that Samo has never been to Li Zhi's house before, but Huang Sanpao is often there, and sometimes Zisu and Futaba are also together. Like tonight, it seems that it is the first time that the two of them have returned to the deserted house alone. .

Li Zhi's house is shabby compared to ordinary princes and grandsons, but in Chang'an City, it is not bad.However, because Li Zhi came later, his house was not located in the area where the royal relatives were concentrated, but in the area where many officials lived.Therefore, sometimes, it is not surprising to meet a few officials behind the door.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Zhi didn't have any special servants around him. Sanpao was running errands, but he was not in charge of Li Zhi's daily eating and drinking—although, Sanpao would make chicken soup for his boss from time to time.

There are very few servants in Li Zhi's house, except for one cook, there are only two or three servants in charge of cleaning, and he takes care of the close things by himself.

Back home, Li Zhi asked the cook to make two bowls of shredded chicken noodles and send them to the study.He asked his servants to bring another set of bedding to his own room. No one in Li Zhi's family would come as a guest, and he didn't prepare a guest room.

"Li Shaoqing, there are quite a lot of people waiting outside your house recently."

When he first arrived, Samodoro noticed that there seemed to be many people staring at Li Zhi's house.In the past, not to mention Samodoro, it was Huang Sanpao's force value, so it made no sense not to find these people.

"I don't know who they are, let them go." Seeing Li Zhi's appearance, he was already used to it.

Li Zhi took two jugs of wine from the cabinet on the side of the study, kept one jug for himself and handed it to Samodoro.

"Su Mo, there may be an accident at the border." When the cook came up, Li Zhi asked the servants to rest and closed the door of the study.

"Why, the Turkic army is so powerful?" Samo looked at the steaming hot noodles and unceremoniously put down his chopsticks.

Speaking of which, the Turks have always been the court's confidant. Although peace has been negotiated on both sides, and the Turks have bowed their heads and surrendered, the small fights on the border have never stopped, and the Turks' thoughts of invading the Tang Dynasty have not stopped.Now that they are sending out troops again, they are also prepared.

"It hasn't spread yet, but according to the news from the border, it seems that many people in our camp have contracted smallpox."

Li Zhi's expression was solemn, the news was also told to him in the palace just now by the emperor.Now the sick soldiers have been quarantined, but whether this is an isolated case or will spread into a catastrophe is temporarily unknown.

"Smallpox? I remember that Futaba got the prescription for treating smallpox from Deng Wei, and the research is almost done." Hearing that there was smallpox at the border, Samodoro's expression was very solemn.

"Futaba once said that according to the notes left by Deng Wei, she has basically developed the medicines for treatment. It's just that there are not many pharmacies in Chang'an City that can get some medicines. If you want to make them, they can completely suppress smallpox. When the medicine comes, we have to find a way." Some time ago, Li Zhi asked Futaba about her progress.

"One of the plants in this medicine is produced in the Western Regions. The area where it grows in large quantities is roughly the area where Jialan was originally located. Although Jialan is no longer there, this plant should still be growing. As long as you go to the southwest, you should be able to Find it." Speaking of the Western Regions, Samodoro is naturally familiar with it.

Li Zhi nodded, and he will tell His Majesty about this matter after he confirms it with Futaba tomorrow.

After eating and drinking enough, the two of them naturally wanted to rest.

Summer had never spent the night at Li Zhi's house before, so when he followed Li Zhi to the room after washing up, he didn't realize that there was anything wrong.

When he entered the room and saw the bedding lined up side by side, Samodoro hurriedly took three steps back, covering his chest with both hands, and looked up and down Li Zhi vigilantly.

"Li Shaoqing, what do you want to do! I'm a showman rather than a person." Samodoro couldn't help raising his voice.

Li Zhi rolled his eyes at Samodoro angrily, and shook his head helplessly: "I don't have a guest room in my house, so you can just stay with me overnight."

Hearing this, Samodoro made a very exaggerated look of relief, then leaned in front of Li Zhi, patted him on the shoulder proudly, tilted his head and smiled and said, "Well, I still trust Li Shaoqing. "Speaking, he got into the set of bedding on the inside.

Satsuma lay on his back, propped his head on one hand, blinked his right eye at Li Zhi, said good night with a smile, then put his clothes on and lay down.

Li Zhi just remembered that he hadn't asked Samodoro about Xiao Meiren's suicide, but seeing the man's eyes closed and the corner of his mouth smiling as he fell asleep, Li Zhi couldn't bear to disturb Samo any more.

After taking off his coat, Li Zhi lay down on the bedding beside Satsuma, and suddenly realized that Samodoro was sleeping with Li Zhi's usual quilt, and the quilt that covered him was the new one brought out by the servants.
