Ever since he came out of Tao Youran's house yesterday, Yu Lingbo felt a little restless.

Mei Shiliang said that something might have happened in the palace, but they don't have any specific and reliable news now, and they can't know what happened. Everything is just guesswork.

Although he was very worried about Li Luosu, Mei Shiliang advised him to relax first, do his own thing well, and inquire about the news in the palace if possible, after all, he can freely enter and leave the palace without being affected Only he himself, and they will find a way to contact Duanmu Yao.

Yu Lingbo wandered around the palace and searched around, but he didn't get anything. Everyone talked about him, or directly said that he didn't know anything, which made him a little depressed.

He went to the East Palace again, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

Sitting in the lobby of Menxia Province, Yu Lingbo propped his head and sighed as he watched those edicts gradually decreasing.

Although he was very happy to have less work, but when he thought that Li Luosu was still on the sick bed, he would rather have more edicts.

I don't know what happened to His Majesty...

Just as he was in a daze, the people from Zhongshu Province came to deliver the edict again.The person from Zhongshushe slapped a pile of booklets on the desk, which startled him.

"Prime Minister You is in a hurry to ask for these, please approve them quickly, so as not to waste our time."

This haughty and domineering appearance made Yu Lingbo very uncomfortable, but he still said in a good-humored voice: "This Zhongshusheren, our province is also very busy recently, these edicts may not be approved until tomorrow, you Just go back and wait."

Although Poppy has already controlled the Zhongshu Province and successfully took over the entire imperial court, Zhongshusheren is only a fifth-rank official in the final analysis. Yu Lingbo, who is in charge of the first department, is a servant of the third rank, not to mention that his actual power in this position is similar to that of Poppy Poppy.

Prime Minister You will replace you as a servant sooner or later.

Hearing this, Zhongshu Sheren snorted and turned away.

Seeing Troublesome Jing leaving, Yu Lingbo was angry but still heaved a sigh of relief.

It would be great if Taifu and Mr. Mei were still in Zhongshu Province as before.

He sat down and looked through the pile of things, and began to critique.

"About the appointment of the new Yushitai doctor...what's going on?"

Yu Lingbo hurriedly looked through the edicts, and found that there were several documents about the promotion and replacement of officials in various ministries, involving Yushitai, Dali Temple, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Households, Menxia Province, and other small departments.

This kind of large-scale transfer of officials has never happened before, let alone when political affairs are so busy at the end of the year.

He felt that these edicts were too abnormal, so he refused to sign all of them and typed them back.

***

Poppy recruited Du Zhijuan from Zhongshu Province, and heard him report the latest news. He had handed over all his informants to Du Zhijuan to manage.

Du Zhijuan, who had been promoted by him to be the Minister of Zhongshu, handed him several secret reports, saying: "My lord, these are all sent from the border. Those secret agents of Xue Guo have been urged several times. When can you arrange it?" They met General Zuo."

"Hmph, these people's desire to restore the country is really persistent. At this time, they are still delusional about being able to stand up, and they don't want to see what their general's son has become."

Thinking of the sinking water that she saw in the ancestral hall of the general's mansion, Poppy knew that he was hopeless, but anyway, he was just like Xia Jushuang, who could throw it away at any time after using it in the future. This is just right, saving him trouble in the future.

"Then, how do you reply to them?"

"Let's just say that the general still has a lot of troublesome things to deal with, so let them wait patiently."

"Yes."

Du Zhijuan nodded, handed over a few more memorials, and said cautiously: "My lord, these transfer orders have all been returned by Yu Shizhong."

Poppy looked at the folded papers that came back from under the door, with a displeased look on her face.

"Do you think we should also..."

Snapped--

Zhezi fell on the table, and Du Zhijuan immediately shut up.

"If you want to die, you can try it yourself."

Poppy frowned, with some anger in her voice.

"Although Yu Lingbo is just a servant, but he used to be the prince's companion, and he was also the most favored junior in Yu Guogong's family. That old man Yu valued this young master more than anything else, even though he has lived in seclusion at home. It has been many years, but the previous prestige is still there, and you have made good friends with Qi Guogong and Ganzhou Jiedu envoy, if you dare to touch Yu Lingbo, then tomorrow I will be able to admire your corpse on the top of the city wall."

"This... I am confused."

Du Zhijuan was taken aback, restrained his mind, and said: "But these edicts always have to pass the door, if there is him, when will we be able to raise all our people in a legitimate way?"

Su Ying looked at the stack of papers, thought for a while, and said, "Since we can't move on the bright side, it's okay to let him suffer. A young and favored young man is squeezed out by his colleagues, and it will probably happen soon." Resign and go home, just like our unlucky Majesty, if someone else leaves, then you have to leave by yourself."

***

Zhongshusheren took the pile of knocked-back papers and came aggressively to Xingshi under his door to inquire about his crimes.

"Who handled these edicts? Why did they all refuse to sign? How can the court operate normally with such passive sabotage?"

Seeing his unfriendly appearance, those petty officials either bowed their heads and kept silent, or kept sneaking glances at Yu Lingbo, and the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became awkward.

Seeing the people below, Yu Lingbo sighed inwardly, and said, "I dealt with it, do you have any comments from Zhongshushe people?"

Seeing his voice, the Zhongshu Sheren gave a sly smile and said, "It turns out to be the servant, I thought I was some new brainless official here fishing in troubled waters, I never thought it was you, sorry sorry."

"...Whether I have fished in troubled waters is another matter, but Zhongshusheren is a big fan, I didn't know that you dared to play wild under the door in front of me."

"My lord servant, you have wronged me. I just came here to express my opinion for Prime Minister You and supervise your administrative efficiency. How can it be considered wild? Everyone is doing their best for the country and the people. You Wouldn’t it be a little bad to slander our Ministry of Education in this way?”

Yu Lingbo was a little angry in his heart, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to have a direct confrontation with these people at this time, so he said, "Zhongshu Sheren is right, of course we have to do our best for His Majesty together, so I refused this edict for the good of Prime Minister Su, There are a lot of political affairs near the end of the year, and it is not good for the administration to change officials on a large scale now, so it is better to wait until the next year to discuss this matter, my province is busy with affairs today, so I don’t want to waste time here, please.”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand towards the door.

When Zhongshusheren saw that the order to evict the guests had been issued, he stopped talking and slammed the door angrily away.

Yu Lingbo sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief, and then got off work in a long silence.

Tonight's Menxia Province left only one person on duty here.

Looking at the busy figure in the lobby, Tu Muxiang couldn't help but think of the night before yesterday that was very dangerous for them all.

After he got Yu Lingbo drunk that night, he booked him a room at Tianpingfang.

At that time, Yu Lingbo didn't cry or make trouble when he was drunk, he just hugged him and kept laughing, intermittently saying "Qili, you are the best" and other compliments on him. Help into the room.

Looking at Yu Lingbo's sleeping face, Tu Muxiang just sat on the edge of the bed, watched him quietly all night, and only left there near dawn.

At that time, Tu Muxiang stood on the cold and dark street, thinking that this night might be the most unforgettable night in his life.

The main hall in Menxia Province was brightly lit, and Tu Muxiang knew that Yu Lingbo must have been bullied a lot in the past two days, and he was very tormented. Knowing that he was on duty today, he brought some food to see him.

"Qingtai..."

Yu Lingbo turned his head and found that it was Tu Muxiang standing there, he was very pleasantly surprised.

"Qili, why are you here? I went to Dali Temple to look for you yesterday, but you weren't there."

"Well... I felt a little uncomfortable yesterday, so I took a leave of absence and didn't come to work."

He lied, lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Yu Lingbo's face.

"I remember that you were on duty today, so I brought you some food. Let's eat together."

"Qili, you are really a good person."

Seeing him seriously praising herself, Tu Muxiang could only smile.

"Eat quickly, or it will be cold."

"Well, I'll try it...it's delicious, did you make this?"

Seeing him nodding his head, Yu Lingbo opened his eyes wide, and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to cook, so you can come and accompany me when I'm on duty from now on, okay?"

"……it is good."

"By the way, when I listened to Huaben the night before yesterday, I agreed that if I drank, you would tell me the happy event, but you left first and left me there alone, so the matter ended. what is it?"

"I... Actually, it's not a very happy thing, but my brother finally found someone he likes, so I..."

"Really? Congratulations to your brother. I've always been worried that the Taibao couldn't find a good match."

Seeing him eating happily, Tu Muxiang felt very uncomfortable.

He opened his mouth several times to tell Yu Lingbo the truth of that night, but he suppressed those words when he thought that he was still in court and might be in danger at any time.

Qingtai, I will always find a way to help you.

***

Although the days of being a laborer have long passed, Li Haitang still stayed at Hongyan Pass.

After sending messages to other sisters that day, she soon received replies one after another, saying that they could not contact Li Luosu. She went to ask about Baizhu's situation, and Baizhu also replied that she was in touch. Not Mei Shiliang in the capital.

At this moment, Li Weixuan suddenly appeared in the big tent.

"Weixuan? Why are you here? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Third Sister, when I heard from you, I knew something might be wrong in the capital, and since I couldn't get in touch with Mudan, I came here to find you, to see if I can help you."

"You don't really need to run so far..."

"It's okay, he came with me this time, Ah Ling, come in."

Ling Zihui stepped into the big tent and bowed to Li Haitang: "Ling Zihui, the young owner of Lingxiao Villa, pays homage to the third princess."

"Get up quickly, you are my brother-in-law, we are all one family."

Li Haitang looked at this pair of heroes with strange identities, feeling a little emotional in his heart, and said: "The most urgent thing now is to contact those who are in the capital and Yangzhou, and then we can determine what Mudan is doing, but sending this letter is like nothing. , no response at all."

"Maybe someone did something in it that caused the communication to be cut off. Since this normal channel is useless, why don't we try an abnormal channel?"

Li Haitang looked at her in surprise, and said, "What does this mean?"

Li Weixuan looked at Ling Zihui beside her, and smiled lightly at her: "Have you forgotten who I married?"

The author has something to say:

Yu Lingbo: Qili, you are really a good person.

Tu Muxiang: ... What did you say?

Yu Lingbo: I was wrong, I shouldn't have sent you a good person card, even reading lines!
