Lintai Storm Record

some? "

Liu Yun waved his hand: "The battle ahead is tight, the sooner this matter of sons and daughters is settled, the minister can also lead troops to go out as soon as possible."

It's really for the sake of the war, why don't you wait for the victory to return before mentioning the matter of being a queen for your daughter?Fu Mingshao sneered in his heart, lowered his eyes, and the arithmetic paper crumpled into a ball the size of a sugar pill between his fingers, and Fu Mingshao's fingers turned slightly white due to the force.

Liu Yun's daughter whispered something in his ear. Liu Yun glanced at her and shook his head slightly.

The daughter pursed her lips, frowned angrily, turned her face away and stopped talking, stealing glances at Fu Mingshao from time to time.

Fu Mingshao was in a trance when an eunuch hurried over at the door. The eunuch standing by the door changed his face when he heard this, and walked quickly to the side of the dragon seat.

Fu Mingshao wiped his hands with a handkerchief, his eyes drooping slightly.

Liu Yun sipped his wine and patted the back of his daughter's hand reassuringly.

Fu Mingshao stood up with a livid complexion.

Liu Yun put down his glass.

"I..." Fu Mingshao's voice was trembling, he took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and stretched his eyebrows, "The queen mother is ill, I will go and see first."

As soon as he walked more than ten meters away from the main hall, Fu Mingshao exploded, grabbed the skirt of the young eunuch's robe, asked with a ferocious expression and lowered his voice, "Where's your godfather?"

"Godfather, godfather is going to pick up Miss Liu, Your Majesty is going to the Nuan Pavilion later, godfather is going to watch over, afraid that the servants will not be good..."

Fu Mingshao let go of his hand.

The little eunuch fell to the ground, and the emperor left angrily. He got up from the ground in a hurry, and chased after him with a pale face.

Fu Mingshao went to Nuan Pavilion alone, and when he entered the door, he saw Sun Xiu directing the palace servants to move a big tripod.

"Sun Xiu..." Fu Mingshao gritted his teeth, abruptly withdrew his hand, flicked his sleeves, and turned his back with a livid face.

Sun Xiu hurriedly sent out all the disciples and grandchildren in the Nuan Pavilion, knelt down on her knees, with cold sweat on her back, and carefully probed: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Fu Mingshao was anxious: "You still come to ask me?!"

Leaning outside the door, Sun Xiu's godson, whom Sun Xiu had only recognized a long time ago, hurried in and told Sun Xiu in a low voice that Song Qianzhi was taken away from the imperial prison by the imperial general who claimed to be Habayashi Guard without anyone knowing it.

Sun Xiu heaved a sigh of relief, his head was always lowered, no one could see his expression clearly, when Sun Xiu raised his head, his expression changed to panic.

"The emperor, please order the whole city to search for Song Qianzhi immediately. The capital has been sealed off for several months. There is no way for Song Qianzhi to escape from the capital. Also, please call Lord Lu Guanlu into the palace immediately."

Fu Mingshao couldn't help panting, clenched his teeth, his cheeks were sore from his own bite.Sun Xiu asked people to come in to serve the pen and ink, and Fu Mingshao immediately issued an edict ordering the imperial army to search for Song Qianzhi throughout the city, and also handed Sun Xiu an order to bring Lu Guan into the palace in person.

Sun Xiu wanted to leave, but was stopped by Fu Mingshao.

Fu Mingshao stared at Sun Xiu uncertainly, and said coldly: "If there is any abnormality, I will allow you to cut it first and play later."

Sun Xiu took the handwritten order with neither sadness nor joy, and went to gather the guards.

Fu Mingshao sat slumped in the chair, put one hand on his forehead, and the palm was soaked in sweat immediately.

·

When Sun Xiu rushed to Li Xiang's other courtyard, the guard was about to rush in with a knife, but was stopped by Sun Xiu's fierce eyes.

"Dog thing, you can break into the Prime Minister's mansion too?!"

The guard quickly retreated.

Sun Xiu, the chief internal officer, personally went forward to knock on the door of the other courtyard. The concierge knew Sun Xiu, and was chilled by his blandishment, so he hurriedly asked someone to go in to inform, and asked Sun Xiu to wait.

There was a sneer at the corner of Sun Xiu's mouth, she didn't say anything, she just waited in good order outside the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A guard couldn't see it, and wanted to come up to speak, but was startled by Sun Xiu's face.

Sun Xiu pushed back the hem of the eunuch's robe, stepped on the stone pier inserted into the doorpost, looked up at the sky with his hips on his hips, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.The air outside the palace, even in the turbidest night, is cleaner than the inner palace.

After a while, the butler came out to pick up Sun Xiu with a grin, and scolded the porter severely, scolding the porter for being ignorant, even Manager Sun dared to stop her.

Sun Xiu walked in with the housekeeper, put his hands in his sleeves, and said with a light smile, "It's okay, our family has only been promoted to the head of the house for a few days, and the Xiangfu is very well informed."

Butler Luo raised his sleeve and wiped his sweat.

Sun Xiu walked forward without looking sideways, and said: "The emperor hastily summoned Mr. Lu to enter the palace. You don't need to disturb the Prime Minister. You can directly lead our family to Mr. Lu's courtyard. Our family will bring people into the palace so that we can return to the palace."

Butler Luo couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Sun Xiu's gourd, but Li Yeyuan was not there tonight, and Lu Guan hadn't been seen coming out of the room all day in the other courtyard, so Butler Luo couldn't be sure if Lu Guan was in the room.

Sun Xiu didn't get an answer, so she stood still and turned to look at Butler Luo.

Butler Luo hurriedly said: "Boss Sun has an order, so I will obey the order naturally, this way please." Butler Luo walked down the steps, and the wet and soft branches brushed his face in an obstructive way, and he wanted to drag it a little longer, distractedly. Walk slowly, no matter how slow you are, the other courtyard is only that big.

Seeing the lights on in the courtyard where Lu Guan lived, Housekeeper Luo let out a sigh of relief.

After entering the yard, Steward Luo trotted up the steps, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the bedroom door.

After knocking on the door three times, Lu Guan's voice came from inside: "What's the matter?"

Butler Luo let out the pent-up breath: "Lord Lu, there are people in the palace. The emperor sent Eunuch Sun to pick you up and go into the palace now."

Sun Xiu walked around the yard twice with his hands behind his back. When he opened the door, he immediately turned around, with a big smile on his face, folded his hands in front of him to salute, and walked forward.

"To disturb Master Lu's rest, the emperor really wants to see you." Sun Xiu looked at Lu with good eyesight.

"Then let's go." Lu Guan didn't say any more nonsense, and was about to close the door.

Sun Xiu put one hand on the door and pushed it open.

Lu Guan reacted and reached out to stop him.

Sun Xiu had already stepped through the door.

"Eunuch Sun." Lu Guan followed into the room displeased, "Did the emperor order Eunuch to search the room of the lower officials?"

Sun Xiu smiled and said, "No, our family is to see if there is tea in the adult's room, so we can give our family a cup."

Lu Guan snorted coldly: "There's no tea, I drank it up."

Sun Xiu didn't say anything.

But housekeeper Luo immediately asked someone to pour a glass of water for Sun Xiu.

After getting out of the other courtyard and getting into the carriage, only Lu Guan was left in the carriage, Sun Xiu rode the horse, and his guards followed on both sides of the carriage on foot.

A jade tablet hangs out from Lu Guan's sleeve, he rubs his fingers vigorously until the jade is warm, and closes his eyes.

·

In the home of Lu Lin, the former commander of the Imperial Army, facing the old, weak, sick and disabled in the yard, Lu Lin had a headache and put his hand on his forehead, wondering how he ended up in this situation.

"I still can't think of a way. I have to leave the city early tomorrow morning!" Mr. Lu's copper crutches fell on the ground with a bang, and the silver whiskers on his wrinkled old face trembled, and he waved the crutches resentfully. Send it out of town?"

Lu Lin grabbed a handful of greasy hair, and said with a sad face: "You kid is more troublesome than when you were a child. I knew that this would be the end of you. Last time you came, I shouldn't have let you in!"

Father Lu was about to shock.

Lu Lin hugged his head and hid behind Song Qian, and shouted, "Grandfather, I think Zhuxing is your dear grandson, right?"

Song Qianzhi folded his hands and pushed forward, blocking Mr. Lu's crutches.

"There are a lot of troubles tonight. Brother Lu's love for saving fire and drowning will never be forgotten by chasing stars. Please respect the younger generation." Song Qianzhi said.

Old Master Lu stood and suffered, and then stretched out his hand to help him up. He put his other hand on the back of Song Qianzhi's hand, stared at Song Qianzhi for a while, and nodded slowly: "Okay, okay." A pair of eyes were filled with mist, overflowing with inexplicable warmth for Song Qianzhi.

"Don't be in a hurry at this moment, Lu Lin!" The old man shouted suddenly, calling his grandson to take Song Qianzhi and his friends to take a bath and have a meal, waiting for the news of the young people in Lu's mansion who were discussing big plans.

The fog in the corner room made people breathless, and Song Qianzhi always felt his scalp itchy. After washing, his whole body fell into extreme exhaustion, and he accidentally dozed off while lying on the bathtub.

Liu Pingwen's timid voice awakened Song Qianzhi from a vague dream.

Song Qianzhi's eyelids were smoky red, and the dirt and exhaustion had been washed away. When he got up, Liu Pingwen gave him a dry cloth, and Song Qianzhi stood in front of Liu Pingwen to dry himself, and the short sleep relieved him. Exhausted all day, except for his limbs still a little sore, Song Qianzhi only felt refreshed and could fight again.

Liu Pingwen had already taken a bath and was refreshed. He sat aside, stretched his feet with one hand, and looked up at Song Qianzhi in front of him. Song Qianzhi was like an older Liu Pingwen, with a handsome appearance and a calm temperament. Blades are implied.

Song Qianzhi's shoulders, back, chest and abdomen are covered with a thin layer of muscle, which is caused by martial arts.

Liu Pingwen said enviously: "Brother Song is very skilled, came out of the imperial prison today, did you fight against the imperial army?"

It was just dark at that time, and Lu Guan, who was dressed as a feather guard, sent Song Qianzhi into the back alley, and before he entered the door, he heard noises inside.

Lu Guan put his ear to the door and listened quietly for a while, then pushed the door open and walked in. Just wearing the robes of the imperial army scared the doctor who came to blackmail him half to death.Lu Guan didn't talk to him, just knocked him unconscious, and stuffed him into the firewood room. Xu Ruiyun was worried, and tied him into a rice dumpling with hemp rope.

Zhou Xian was not there at that time.

After much deliberation, Song Qianzhi was not at ease, so he ordered Liu Pingwen to go to the street to buy some dry corn cakes, and put some water in a bowl where the doctor could reach with a little effort. The water and dry food were all in porcelain bowls. Pretend.

"If he is smart, he can escape when he wakes up. If he is stupid, he will not starve to death." People will burst out with great potential in desperation. Song Qianzhi believes that even if the doctor can't think of picking up a bowl with his mouth and smashing it Wan used tiles to break the ropes that bound him to escape, and he would also think of jumping out of this door and calling for help.

On the way, Song Qianzhi heard from Liu Pingwen that Liu Suguang was brought back by Zhou Xian a few days ago, because the miscarriage needed rest, and the Xu family's son was running around making noises. Rarely noisy.

Zhou simply made the decision, moved out of Xu San's house, and spent ten days looking for a house. Who would have thought that Li Xuan would fall into the courtyard that day, and the doctor who came to see the doctor accidentally asked Zhou Xian's background Zhou Xian said that it was his uncle's ancestral house, and the doctor lived not far away, so after asking around, he understood everything.

The current situation is tense, and private buying, selling and renting of houses is prohibited. On the surface, household registration management has become stricter, but in fact, money can make ghosts work. As long as you don't let Habayashi Wei notice, the government servants don't care about this nosy business.The people who ate the yamen food had to go home after work, the entire capital was under martial law, and the common people might not know anything, and they still lived their days idle, but these yamen people were well versed in the world.

Most of the civilians have never seen the tragedy of the Heidi army burning, killing and looting the entire town of Yunxi Town, and they have heard about such outrageous things as the villages and towns in the suburbs of Beijing. false attitude.When the government is in turmoil, the people will have various attitudes, and everyone has ghosts in their hearts, and dirty and dark breeds.

It was also the doctor's bad luck that made Lu Guan bump into him, so he didn't bother to talk to him, so he tied him up.

"There was a time difference, so we didn't hit him." Song Qianzhi came back to his senses, took off the robe from the shelf, put it on his body, and tied his belt.

Liu Pingwen walked behind Song Qianzhi with a heavy heart, brushed the wet hair around his neck with both hands, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Song, I heard something, it's not good."

Song Qianzhi turned around and stared at him silently.

"Say that my father has become a traitor." Liu Pingwen lowered his eyes worriedly. He didn't dare to look at Song Qianzhi's expression, for fear of seeing some confirmation.

Song Qianzhi raised Liu Pingwen's face and let him look at him.

"Do you trust your father?"

Liu Pingwen's eyes were filled with turbulent waves. After struggling violently, he finally nodded.

Song Qianzhi laughed: "Then keep believing."

Liu Pingwen pressed on and asked: "There are really such rumors? My father finally came out after ten years of cold windows. He heard that Song and Xunzhou were in trouble, so he took the initiative to step forward and sent an official letter to the Ministry of Officials..."

"In that case, why don't you trust him?"

Liu Pingwen pursed his lips.

Song Qianzhi said: "Do you still remember the blood letter that Zhao Yu, the former magistrate of Xunzhou, left to Xu Ruiyun when we escaped from the Liaoren's stronghold?" Seeing Liu Pingwen nodding obediently, Song Qianzhi continued, "The group of brothers that Xu Ruiyun took to track down Zhao Yu's traces, there are only about [-] people left. They are all to take Zhao Yu's blood book out, hand it over to the court, and rectify Zhao Yu's name. They were locked in the sheepfold. Let's go, you can ask Xu Ruiyun how long he was imprisoned in the Liaoren's camp, ask him how many brothers he died during that time, and how much humiliation he himself suffered."

Liu Pingwen's face gradually turned pale.He held his breath thinking of the shitty food that had been thrown into the mud in just a few days, and the nightmares he would never want to recall.When Song Qianzhi patted him on the shoulder, Liu Pingwen woke up from the nightmare and took a heavy breath.

"Only the parents of all things in the world, but the spirit of all things. In this life, as a human being, you can't just live for yourself. Getting along with others is not only about love, hate, and selfish desires, but also the land we were born on. If you believe in your father, you will continue to believe in it. No matter what rumors and rumors there are, I believe that Lord Liu bowed to Sun Yi for the sake of all the citizens of Xunzhou. At least he saved Xunzhou. Common people, those are living human lives, they are all Chu people." Song Qianzhi curled up his mouth, straightened his robe, and gathered the cloth tightly. In Liu Pingwen's eyes, it is far better than brocade clothes and silk shoes.

The end of Xu Dynasty has passed, the capital is under martial law, the streets are illuminated, and the sound of horseshoes and footsteps break the tranquility of the 130th Long Street and [-] [-]th alley in the city.

☆, Upheaval ([-])

Fu Mingshao sat stiffly in the Chengyuan Hall for almost an hour, while Liu Suguang waited in his bedroom. He knew that the woman had just lost a child, but he couldn't get up the energy to see her.

Fu Mingshao propped his head and leaned against the table as if he was asleep. The hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and a light veil was blown by the breeze. Behind the gauze curtain, Fu Mingshao looked more and more like he was about to become a fairy.He has taken off his dragon robe and changed into a plain white silk shirt.

The footsteps approached the Chengyuan Hall, and the palace supervisor came to report, and Fu Mingshao barely sat up with his exhausted body.After Liu Suguang was sent to the Pipa Garden, the Anshenxiang used by the imperial court disappeared, and he could not make it up in time.

Lu Guan with a haggard face was brought into the hall by Sun Xiu, who took a look at Fu Mingshao's expression, and led a group of servants to leave.

"Shunqin..." Fu Mingshao's eyelashes trembled, revealing his fear and worry. At this moment, he was not the lord of the world, but Lu Guan's helpless junior, and the sixth prince who lived in Quzhou without favor.

"Your Majesty." Lu Guan knelt down and saluted.

"Get up." Fu Mingshao couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or what, he held a breath in his chest, which made him irritated, "Song Qianzhi escaped." When he said this, Fu Mingshao stared closely at Lu Guan , the other party looked at him without hesitation, frowning little by little, as if feeling puzzled.

"The imperial prison is unbreakable, and the imperial army must have internal responses."

"You also think there is an internal response." Fu Mingshao said, "I locked Song Qianzhi and Li Fengxiang together, and sent someone to monitor their conversation in the dark room."

Lu Guan rubbed his thumb and index finger against each other, lowered his eyes, showing a pensive expression.

"It's such a coincidence that Li Fengxiang was brought up for interrogation. When no one was listening, someone sneaked in and rescued Song Qianzhi." Fu Mingshao didn't let go of any trace of Lu Guan's expression, and there was a strong look on Lu Guan's eyebrows. worry.

"After Song Qianzhi gets out of trouble, he will definitely join Fu Mingmao in Fengpingxia. Fu Mingmao once promised him the position of Grand Tutor. How is the conscription going? Is Liu Yun willing to lead troops to fight immediately?"

"Do you think Song Qianzhi will go to find Fu Mingmao?" Fu Mingshao had long since refused to admit that Fu Mingmao was his elder brother, and he spoke without any respect.

"My minister was with Li and heard rumors." Lu Guan hesitated, "Song Qianzhi falsely passed on His Majesty's will with the Overlord Sword, moved Liu Yun's old troops, and pretended to be Heidi people to Songzhou and Xunzhou. Launch an attack. I don't know if this is true..."

"Li Yeyuan told you?" Fu Mingshao breathed a sigh of relief, pressed a finger between his eyebrows, and raised his head, "I will also call you into the palace and ask you some things. Did you find any clues?"

"Song Qianzhi is not with the minister all the time, but... there is one thing that is very strange."

Fu Mingshao's eyes moved: "What's the matter?"

"He entrusted the sword to Zhou Xian many times, and let Zhou Xian go first. After arriving in Songzhou, Song Qianzhi took out the Baxia sword to show others, and I found that there were traces of rubbing on the sword." Lu Guan said in a deep voice, "Is there a misunderstanding in this?"

Fu Mingshao was suspicious by nature. From the first time he left the capital, Lu Guan walked with Song Qianzhi all the way. Even though Fu Mingshao had some friendship with him, the last time he entered the palace, Lu Guan's words seemed to be taken by Fu Mingshao. Shao accepted.Lu Guan felt that Fu Mingshao would never trust anyone without reservation.

Wholeheartedly accepting the rumors of Song Qianzhi's false preaching of the imperial decree will only make Fu Mingshao feel that he is pretending. After all, he went to Songzhou together with Song Qianzhi and Zhou Xian. He is not an outsider in this matter, of course he should have The details that I have experienced without being known.

"That's why I put him in prison first." Fu Mingshao said, "I didn't ask anyone to interrogate him in the past two days, but I just wanted to wait a few days before I personally interrogated him. Who knew that Song Qianzhi and his The same party, can't wait for a moment. Isn't this absconding in fear of crime?"

Lu Guan echoed: "Song Qianzhi has been in charge of Lintai for more than four years, and he should understand His Majesty's intentions very well. He must be guilty of guilt, and he is afraid that he will be dug out for more serious crimes of beheading and exterminating the family."

Fu Mingshao smiled wryly and said: "Although I am angry that he is close to you, I am close to you. Song Qianzhi has done his best for me these years. Li Xiang was involved in the case of Wang Zaoguo, and Heidi invaded, and I opposed him." I'm relieved, and I don't need to mention this matter for the time being. There are talented and virtuous people, why don't I want to have no grievances between the monarch and his ministers." After a pause, Fu Mingshao sighed, "Maybe I really am not the child of destiny, no Blessed by God."

"Song Qianzhi has some skill in handling affairs, but it is not irreplaceable."

Fu Mingshao stared at Lu Guan with burning eyes, and couldn't help standing up from his seat.

"Since I have taken the position of secretary and supervisor, I am willing to do my best for His Majesty." Lu Guan's frowning brows relaxed, showing a slight smile, "Just like when I was in Quzhou, I will clear all the thorns for you."

Fu Mingshao was in a trance for a moment.

"The top priority is, Your Majesty, please order the whole city to arrest Song Qianzhi and bring him to justice. Once he escapes from the capital, he will let the tiger go back to the mountain."

"Who will I send?"

"If your majesty is trustworthy, I ask you to arrest this traitor for your majesty."

"Okay, I'll send you there. Before dawn, Song Qianzhi must be arrested and brought to justice. He will definitely not leave the city tonight."

"why?"

"Madame Andinghou is still in the palace, and Song Qianzhi can't let go of his mother." Fu Mingshao said, "I also know that this is not an aboveboard act. Threatening other people's parents, wives and children is really..."

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. You don't need to behave like a gentleman to Xiaoxiao's generation."

At this moment, Sun Xiu knocked on the door and came in, bowed to Fu Mingshao without looking sideways, and whispered something to him.

Fu Mingshao's face was extremely ugly.

While Lu Guan was bewildered, he slapped Sun Xiu across the face. Sun Xiu quickly knelt on the ground, touched his forehead to the ground, and repeatedly begged for forgiveness.

"Go and call Meng Honglin." Fu Mingshao sat back in the chair with a livid face. After Sun Xiu bowed and left, he said to Lu Guan in a deep voice: "Zhou Wanxin was taken out of the palace. Who is it?" Fu Mingshao looked terrified, if he could take Zhou Wanxin away without anyone noticing, wouldn't this person also be able to take his life without anyone noticing?Qilinwei has been captured, only Zhou Xian is left.

"It's him..." Fu Mingshao looked at Lu Guan, "Zhou Xian sneaked into the palace and took away Zhou Wanxin."

"Are there any reliable guards around His Majesty?"

"Actually, there are several hidden guards in the Qilin Guard... I have always trusted them." There are also people brought by Liu Suguang, Fu Mingshao hesitated for a moment, but did not say anything.

Following Meng Honglin, the commander of the Forbidden Army, followed Sun Xiu into the palace, Fu Mingshao had no time to say more, he already understood the meaning of Lu Guan's words, and immediately issued a handbook, ordering Meng Honglin to obey Lu Guan's command, and the whole city searched for the Secretary, Shao Jian Song Qianzhi.

·

There is a gate in the northwest of Lu Mansion, which is only for carriages to enter, and horses can also go through this gate. A few meters from the gate is the stables.

Song Qianzhi had already put on a big cloak and was waiting under the porch with a lantern in his hand. A little breeze blew the dim light of the lantern flickering.

The sound of kicking horseshoes gradually approached, and Song Qianzhi suddenly felt a chill in his heart. The chill diffused from his chest and penetrated into the bone marrow, bringing indescribable pain.In a moment, this pain disappeared like an illusion.

It was a wooden cart that came here from the palace all the way through the streets and alleys, and it was full of cinders.

Song Qianzhi thought the horseshoes were actually ox hoofs. The ox pulling the cart was parked in the yard, and the driver jumped off. He pushed the bamboo hat up with his index finger, revealing his face with obvious scars.

"Below, I'll unload some of the cinders." Zhou Xian took off his bamboo hat and threw it casually. The bamboo hat flew out and hung on the fence of the stable.

"I'll come." Song Qianzhi trembled.

Song Qianzhi jumped onto the wooden cart, inserted his hands into the cinders, and pushed the cinders away bit by bit until the black wooden cover at the bottom of the car appeared.The corners of his eyes were red, he couldn't help exhaling hot air, and his movements became faster and faster, separating the cinders from the middle and stroking the cinders from the wooden box.

"The side can be opened." Zhou Xian's voice sounded.

Song Qianzhi touched a mechanism hidden in the cinders on the side of the wooden box with shaking hands, and lifted the wooden board.

His breath was choked.

Zhou Wanxin's pale face emerged from under the wooden cover, gradually becoming complete.

Song Qianzhi panicked, grabbed Zhou Wanxin's weak shoulder, made a hissing sound in his throat, and finally choked out: "Mother..."

Zhou Wanxin opened her closed eyes.

Song Qianzhi felt relieved, and sat down on the cinders he had piled aside.

Hot water was being boiled in the kitchen all the time, Zhou Wanxin was carried into the corner room by Song Qianzhi, there was no maid in the Lu residence, Song Qianzhi wanted to serve his mother to take a bath, but Zhou Wanxin stopped her.

So behind a screen, Zhou Wanxin was taking a bath, and the sound of dripping water could be heard intermittently.Song Qianzhi leaned his back on the screen, talking to Zhou Wanxin, he heard that Zhou Wanxin's spirit is fine today.

"Tomorrow morning we will use the same method to hide in the cinder cart and go out of the city. Lu Lin has already arranged for the staff, and he will change shifts at the right time. The 24 brothers in the first group guarding the southeast gate are all from him. Can go out of the city." Song Qianzhi said, "After leaving the city, go directly south, go to Qizhou to find General Bai Guyou, mother, I heard what General Bai said, did you know each other before?"

In the silence, only the sound of water.

Song Qianzhi was about to speak when he heard his mother's gentle voice coming from behind the screen: "We met several times when we were young. He used to come to visit your grandfather often, and once quarreled with your grandfather. During the holidays, I still bring gifts to my father."

Song Qianzhi couldn't help laughing, he didn't know that Bai Guyou had such a cute side, but then he thought it was nothing, everyone was young once.

"What about your aunt?" Zhou Wanxin asked.

"Auntie has her own power in the palace, self-protection is not a problem, by the way, mother." Song Qianzhi said, "You have lived in Auntie's palace for so long, has Li Xiang ever been to Auntie's palace?"

The sound of water behind the screen stopped.

After a while, Zhou Wanxin replied: "I have been here several times."

That's right.

Song Qianzhi's heart was settled, the Empress Dowager Zhou had been put under house arrest by Fu Mingshao under the name of recuperating her illness, but it was not easy for Li Yeyuan to see her, but she still went there, several times was enough.The fact that Li Yeyuan was able to go in to see the Empress Dowager Zhou also showed that the two were not completely passive in the palace, and perhaps even the house arrest was half a fake.

There was a sound of water behind the screen, and Song Qianzhi heard that Zhou Wanxin got up, and the blanket on the screen was also taken away. After a while, his mother put on her dress and walked out from behind the screen.Song Qianzhi unfolded the dry cloth in his hand, went up to rub her hair, so that the long hair in his hand stopped dripping, and Song Qianzhi accompanied Zhou Wanxin back to the room.

"Let the son serve the mother." Song Qianzhi stayed in Zhou Wanxin's room and refused to go out. For some reason, he was especially attached to his mother today.

After Shu Shu Shuang took a hot bath, Zhou Wanxin's complexion also turned rosy, and Song Qianzhi wiped her hair.

Song Qianzhi clumsily applied the hair oil used by women to his mother's hair. The silvery white in the black hair was particularly glaring. After smoothing it out, it was not so glaring.

"When we get to Qizhou, mother can live in Dongming Palace."

"Prince Dongming?" Zhou Wanxin seemed to close her eyes comfortably, allowing her son to fiddle with her hair, "Prince Dongming's mother and concubine are a remarkable woman."

"Mother knows?"

"I've seen it, I've talked to it, I'm not too familiar with it." Zhou Wanxin opened her eyes, pressed Song Qianzhi's hand holding the comb, and looked at her son in the mirror.

"Mother?" Song Qianzhi felt a little uneasy, and frowned slightly.

"Mother has something for you, where is the box I brought?"

Song Qianzhi said it was in the cabinet, and Zhou Wanxin asked him to get it. Zhou Wanxin put her hand on the small copper lock on the box, and said in a childish tone, "Close your eyes first."

Song Qianzhi closed his eyes helplessly, and heard the sound of the lock being unlocked.

"Okay." In Zhou Wanxin's hand was a jade pendant, the jade was pure and carved into the shape of a phoenix.Zhou Wanxin parted the red string tied to the jade pendant with her fingers, motioned Song Qianzhi to bow his head, and hung it around his neck.

Song Qian held the cold jade in his hands, and his heart warmed up: "Is this the jade carving that mother said to give to Lu Guan?"

"Yes." The corners of Zhou Wanxin's mouth curled up, and she gently played with the jade hanging on Song Qianzhi's chest with her fingers, and looked up into Song Qianzhi's eyes, "There is another one, and Mother will give it to Lu Guan herself."

Song Qianzhi was at a loss for words, and said awkwardly: "Why don't you wait for him to be there, let him kneel upright, and give it to us together."

Zhou Wan thought: "Want to see Gaotang so much?"

Song Qianzhi: "..."

"He has kowtowed his wife's head before, so let him go this time." Zhou Wanxin stretched out her hand to touch Song Qianzhi's face, brushed her son's brows with her cold fingers, and held his side face, her eyes were full of emotions , and finally turned into a sentence: "Let the mother take a good look at you."

Song Qianzhi felt a little strange in his heart, and said gently: "Mother, what's the matter? We will leave the city before dawn, you should rest, or you will not be able to bear it."

Zhou Wanxin looked at Song Qianzhi for a while, let go of her hand, turned to face the mirror, picked up the comb, and began to dress up.

Song Qianzhi frowned.

"I'm going to visit the Marquis of Anding's Mansion." Zhou Wan said heartily.

"Why?" Song Qianzhi's face changed, "Mother, the whole city is under martial law now, as long as you walk on the street, you will be easily spotted."

"That friend of yours has the ability to bring me out of the palace, and has the ability to take me to Andinghou's mansion."

"Zhou Xian can't do it. He is also a key criminal wanted by the court. If he shows up, both of you will be in danger."

Zhou Wanxin combed her hair by herself: "Then let Lu Lin accompany me."

"Lv Lincai came down from the position of the commander of the imperial army, and he can't accompany you. It is a great kindness that he is willing to help us out of the city. Mother, you are so nonsense..." Song Qianzhi felt wronged by Zhou Wanxin's expression. The words stopped abruptly, and he thought and thought, "My son will accompany you."

Zhou Wanxin flatly refused.

Song Qianzhi originally wanted to protect Zhou Wanxin secretly, as long as he was not seen by others, but Zhou Wanxin firmly disagreed and refused to let him take risks.After Song Qianzhi thought about it, there was only one person who could use it, and that was Xu Ruiyun.

·

The Marquis of Anding was besieged by the forbidden army. Meng Honglin stepped forward several times to give Lu Guan some advice. He didn't think Song Qianzhi would flee back to the Marquis of Anding.Lu Guan used the emperor's order to force Meng Honglin to obey.

Just when Meng Honglin wanted to express his opinion directly to Lu Guan for the third time, a carriage came running from the street, approaching the outside of Marquis Anding's mansion. Under the control of the driver, the carriage slowed down, and finally stopped outside the three-story imperial guard's encirclement .

The coachman looked submissive, he was a commoner in his thirties with disheveled hair.

Lu Guan's eyes slid across the face of Xu Ruiyun, who was dressed as a coachman, and he poked Meng Honglin with the whip in his hand, and Meng Honglin hurried up to ask who was sitting in the car.

The door is open.

There was a woman sitting inside, holding a small hand warmer, wrapped in a cloak trimmed with snow-white rabbit fur, she got up and got out of the car, holding a four-layer food box in her hand, and left the hand stove in the carriage .Her face was covered with thick powder, rouge pink, and her lips were lightly painted, just like a crabapple flower that is about to bloom in the cold spring.The eyebrows are also painted thick black, like two stretched willow leaves, very delicate.

"Mrs. Andinghou?" Meng Honglin turned pale with shock, and thought uncertainly. It seems that Lu Guan's judgment is correct. Mrs. Andinghou also disappeared from the palace. She is here, Song Qianzhi is probably in the Houfu within.Just as Meng Honglin was about to order the imperial guards to search inside, Zhou Wanxin walked over and stood in front of Meng Honglin.

At that moment, Meng Honglin was speechless.

Zhou Wan said calmly: "Who can make the decision here?"

Lu Guan stepped out from behind Meng Honglin, cupped his hands to Zhou Wanxin and said, "Madam, if you have something to say, please tell me."

"What are you doing here? I don't know if this is the mansion given to me by Emperor Rongzong?"

It's funny to say that Andinghou's mansion was originally given by Rongzong to the second lady of the Zhou family to get married, and later even the entire Song family's ancestral hall was built in the mansion.

"Ma'am." Meng Honglin couldn't help but want to speak.

Zhou Wanxin gave him a cold look.

Meng Honglin was also in his forties, and when a woman glanced at him, his words were stuck in his throat. It was an invisible aura that blocked what he wanted to say.He kept muttering in his heart, why didn't Zhou Wanxin know that her son was already a prisoner of the imperial court?After thinking about it, the news of Song Qianzhi's imprisonment was indeed not disclosed to the outside court. Only a few adults knew about it, not even Song Qianzhi's father Andinghou.If Marquis Anding knew that his son was locked up with that Li Fengxiang, he wouldn't bribe the imperial guards to make Li Fengxiang change his words, so that he could acquit himself of the crime of robbing other people's wives, and easily dispel the idea of ​​reconciling with his original wife.

Zhou Wanxin regarded Meng Honglin as nothing, and said coldly to Lu Guan, "I'm going home now."

Meng Honglin glanced at Lu Guan nervously.

"Madam, please." Lu Guan gave an order, and the forbidden army stepped aside.

Among the imperial troops scattered like a tide, Zhou Wanxin calmly stepped up the steps and knocked on the door knocker.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the gate of Andinghou's Mansion opened to both sides.

Meng Honglin eagerly spoke to Lu Guan, "Lord Lu, this opportunity is not to be missed..."

"There are only a group of servants in the Hou's mansion. What are you afraid of? Zhou Wanxin is here, and Song Qianzhi can't escape." Lu Guan looked away from the woman's frail back, nails dug into the flesh, turned his head, and ordered two men Going down to check the carriage that sent Zhou Wanxin, naturally nothing was found.

Xu Ruiyun waited obediently by the side with his hands down. He was tall and big, and made a timid look of fear.

Meng Honglin spat on the ground, stood behind Lu Guan dissatisfied, turned around disapprovingly, and looked at Hou's mansion.

The concierge let Zhou Wanxin in, and closed the door with a bang in front of the imperial guards.

Meng Honglin: "..."

At this time, a person hurriedly ran not far away, and Meng Honglin quickly jumped out from behind Lu Guan.

The man quickly ran to Meng Honglin's side, and was about to listen to him and whisper a report.

Lu Guan said coldly, "What's the matter?"

The man glanced at Meng Honglin.

Meng Honglin gave up and waved his hand: "Master Lu is the officer, go over there." He said coldly in his heart, when Song Qianzhi was caught, one day sooner or later, if Lu Guan fell into his hands, he would not cut him alive Layers of skin.

The voice of the person who came to report was quite loud, apparently for Meng Honglin to hear.

"Li Fengxiang died in the imperial prison." His subordinates reported in detail, saying that Li Fengxiang committed suicide by touching his head to the wall not long after he returned to the prison.
