In Haishi, in Fengning Hall.

Leng Yizhen was still wearing the bright yellow robe that she had during the day, and she was quietly lying on the big agarwood bed with her eyes closed, her thick eyelashes trembling occasionally.

The pearl hairpins and Bu Yao in the hair have all been taken off, a head of light brown long hair scattered on the pillow, and the already white face is even paler now.

Biyu and Cuizhu stood guard in front of the bed for more than two hours, but Princess Fengyi still hasn't woken up.

"Sister Biyu, should we send someone to notify the high priest?" Cuizhu was frightened and at a loss just now, but now she has calmed down a lot.

"Don't you want your head?!" Biyu glared at Cuizhu and said slightly angrily.

"But......"

"Emperor Zhang said just now that Her Royal Highness is fine, she will wake up in at least half an hour."

Leng Yizhen had a long, long dream, the reality was terrifying, and it was hard to tell whether it was a dream or reality.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and there were still a few crystal tears hanging on the thick eyelashes.

What catches the eye is still the familiar big bed of agarwood, with elegant crocodile tents hanging on all sides.

"Your Highness, you are awake!" Biyu turned her head and found that Princess Feng Yi had already woken up. She said in surprise, "Great, you are finally awake."

"Your Royal Highness...you are scared to death...the servant." Cuizhu cried with joy, and the tears that had finally stopped burst out of her eyes again.

Leng Yizhen slowly turned his head, forced a small smile at the two people beside the bed, and said angrily, "I'm fine."

"Your Highness, are you hungry?" Biyu asked with concern as her eyes turned red, she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Leng Yizhen didn't speak, just tapped his chin lightly, and closed his eyes again.

"My maidservant is going to prepare dinner. Your Highness, please wait for a while." Biyu pulled Cuizhu beside her, and motioned for this person to prepare the meal for Her Highness.

Leng Yizhen didn't have much appetite, after only a few mouthfuls, he didn't want to eat any more, and asked people to remove all the food.

"Jasu, I want to take a bath." Leng Yizhen put down the chopsticks in his hand and put them on the jade bowl, without raising his head, he said calmly.

"Here." Biyu bowed her head and said in a respectful voice, "Slaves and servants, go get ready now."

At midnight, the moon was full and the stars were sparse, and the moonlight spilled into the palace through the windows, spreading silver light all over the floor.

Leng Yizhen rested his head on the edge of the barrel, his long light brown hair floating on the water.His almond eyes were lightly closed, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes from time to time.

Surrounded by hazy mist, freshly picked rose petals float in the wooden barrel, and the faint rose fragrance overflows.

Leng Yizhen's hands were hidden in the water, his fingers were clenched too tightly, and his knuckles were slightly white.

At this moment, Leng Yizhen was very scared and began to doubt himself.

When the headache happened just now, the memory that flooded into my mind clearly belonged to Princess Feng Yi herself.

Why, do I have the memory of Princess Fengyi?What is the relationship between me and Princess Fengyi?

Leng Yijiao also finally understood why Xuan Qian doted on Princess Feng Yi so much. It turned out that it was Princess Feng Yi who fell in love with her first, as Xuan Love said.

...........

In Maolin County, the depression of the past has changed, and it is no longer hungry.

The high priest suddenly appeared in Maolin County five days ago, and set up a porridge shop at the north and south streets of the county to show favor to the refugees.

Not only that, the high priest also strictly ordered the big merchants in the county to vacate their private mansions and set them up as mansions for the refugees to live in temporarily.

Once the problem of food and lodging is resolved, the rioting emotions of the refugees can be temporarily appeased.

If you want to completely appease the rioting emotions of the refugees, you must solve the flood problem from the root cause, and there is no delay in repairing the embankment.

Of course, the amount of money needed to build the embankment is too huge. In order not to burden the national treasury, the only way to find it is from local wealthy businessmen.

If you want to win the hearts of the people, these superficial skills are far from enough, and you need to take a risky move.

Xuan Qiao had to put this dangerous move at the end.

Youshi, in the sheriff's study.

Xuan Loi was dressed in white and sat in front of the desk, her hair was tied in a white jade crown with dense black silk, fixed with a natural white jade hairpin.

The sun was getting close to the western mountain, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Xuan Chi's side face and eyelashes through the window, and the high bridge of the nose outlined a perfect arc.

His bony white fingers held a writing brush, the tip of which was saturated with black ink.

A piece of white silk was spread on the desk, and next to the silk was a strip of red cloth with a line of unknown characters written on it.

【Happy birthday to you】

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Xuan Qiao was not willing to let the cloth strip flow eastward with the lantern, but kept it close to her body.

Xuan Loving carefully copied the words on the cloth, the tails of the phoenix eyes were raised slightly, and the tear mole at the tail of the left eye looked very coquettish in the sunlight.

"Come in." Xuan Qiao heard the movement outside the door, her face was still as calm as water, without any emotional ups and downs.

Shadow appeared from outside the door, hurried to the center of the study, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully, "High priest, Wanan."

"How is the princess?" Xuan Qiao continued to copy the words on the cloth, and asked directly.

"Go back to the High Priest, Your Royal Highness, everything is fine." Shadow answered truthfully, and then said after a pause, "But..."

"But what?"

"His Royal Highness picked more than half of the lotus in the imperial garden."

"Oh?" Xuan Qiao couldn't hold back the smile, and chuckled softly, "What are you doing picking lotus flowers?"

"It is said that it is used to make something called 'perfume', but my subordinates don't quite understand it."

"Still so childish." Xuan Qiao smiled from the heart, "Order the gardener in the palace to fill in the lotus in the pond again, and let the princess pick it at will."

"Here."

"Okay, back off."

"Well, this subordinate will leave."

As soon as Shadow exited the study, Huo Shiwei appeared at the door of the room.

"High priest, Wan An." Huo guard stepped over the threshold, knelt on one knee in the middle of the study, and clasped his fists.

"How is the matter going?" Xuan Qiao put down the brush in her hand, and placed it on the white jade pen stand by her hand.

"Go back to the high priest, the matter has been settled." Huo guard lowered his head and reported truthfully, "The sons of Zhang Dahu and Chen Dahu have been imprisoned for treason, and their family members have been notified immediately. "

"That's right, it's done very well." The corners of Xuan Qiao's mouth rose, and a satisfied smile overflowed, "The order will be passed down, let the guard of Wei County prepare the banquet, and this priest will entertain the two big households here in the county guard's mansion."

"Here." Guard Huo said respectfully, saluted and stepped back.

Xuanqi stood up, turned her head to look at the sunset outside the window, and then looked down at her own plain white robe.

Since it is a banquet, it is natural to dress brightly, so as to show sincerity.

"Come here." Xuan Qian turned sideways and called softly towards the door of the book.

"High Priest, Wan An." The maid who was guarding the door of the study rushed over and knelt down tremblingly.

"Get ready, this priest is going to take a bath."

"Here."

In Xu time, the county guard's mansion was brightly lit with candles, just like daytime.

Xuan Loi wore a vermilion robe and sat on the main seat, her thick black hair was tied up in a purple gold crown.

The ends of the eyebrows were slightly hooked with Luo Zidai, and a thin layer of vermilion lipstick was applied to the thin lips, making the lips appear fuller.

The whole person is full of charm in an instant, but there is an evil spirit between the brows.

A group of beautiful dancers dressed in red tulle stood in the center of the hall, with translucent gold and platinum beaded veils on their faces, and a ring of small bells hanging from the waist of the water snake that was tightly grasped.

Cooperating with the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras at the side, it showed the graceful and light dancing posture to everyone.

Zhang Dahu and Chen Dahu sat in their seats one after another, staring at the dancer intently.He almost forgot the purpose of coming this time, it was to intercede for his son who did not fight for him.

Knowing it was a Hongmen Banquet, but had no choice but to go.

When the dance was over, the dancers bowed and retreated one after another, and the whole hall suddenly fell into a terrible silence.

Everyone lowered their heads and sat in their seats.Not daring to move, not daring to speak.

"You don't have to be so restrained." Xuan Qiao picked up the bronze wine cup in front of her, and looked at everyone with disdainful eyes, "Come here, give everyone the mulberry wine brought by this priest."

"Thank you, High Priest!" Wei Jun stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Grassman...thank you, High Priest!" The two big households also stood up and bowed to salute.

"Come on, I'm going to offer you a toast." Xuan Qiao raised her glass to the crowd, covered her lips with a flick of her sleeve, and drank a big gulp of the wine in the glass with her head raised.

"My minister wishes the High Priest a long and healthy life, and a long and prosperous life!" Wei Jun raised the wine glass in front of him with both hands, and said in a respectful voice.

"Well, sit down." Xuan Qiao put down the cup in her hand, and said calmly, "You don't need to stand."

Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip of the wine in the glass, and then sat back to their seats one after another.

"This time I'm going south, I want to make some contributions to the people of Maolin County." Xuan Qiao played with the bronze wine cup in his hand and said, "But I don't know what to do."

Everyone didn't dare to speak, and sat in their seats in an orderly manner, listening to the high priest's words.

"Guardian Wei, you are the head of the county, what do you think Maolin County needs most urgently?" Xuan Qiao said, setting her eyes on the sheriff of Wei.

"Back to the High Priest, according to what I see, the most urgent thing is to build a dam." The Wei County Sheriff was called out, so he quickly stood up and answered respectfully.

"Well, the guard of Wei County is right." Xuan Qiao put away the unsalty smile on her lips, and nodded her chin slightly, "But this year my Daji suffered from drought in the north and flood in the south. There was so much money that the treasury was once empty."

"At this time, it is really difficult to collect money for the construction of the dam." After Xuan Qiao finished speaking, she looked up at the two big households.

Zhang Dahu was the best at observing words and expressions, and immediately understood the purpose of the high priest's invitation.He quickly stood up and walked to the center of the hall.

"To the High Priest, the grass people are willing to do their best to build the embankment." Zhang Dahu knelt on his knees with a "plop", his shoulders trembling slightly due to fear, "I hope the High Priest will grant you permission."

"Caomin..." Seeing this, Chen Dahu quickly got up, walked to the center of the hall, and knelt down with Zhang Dahu, "Caomin is also willing to do his part for the construction of the embankment."

Xuan Qiao smiled as she wished, raised her head, and drank the remaining half of the Sangluo wine in the cup in one gulp.
