Some officials in the capital city had been waiting anxiously for a long time. Finally, the news of the Imperial Concubine came.
The series of measures against the Earl of Chang 'an was temporarily canceled.
This made them heave a long sigh of relief in their hearts.
The atmosphere in the court was not right these days. Of course, this kind of abnormality was mostly reflected in His Majesty.
There were already quite a few ignorant officials who were reprimanded in court for making small mistakes, so there were quite a few who were demoted.
Until now, the officials realized that the position of the County Earl Li in His Majesty's heart was probably higher than they had expected.
Besides rejoicing, there was also a little fear in their hearts.
They were afraid because if they really chose to fight with him head-on, they were afraid that the loss on their side would be too great to bear.
As for rejoicing, it was naturally because such a person was not in the capital city, and it was very likely that he would never come back. Otherwise, the return of His Highness, the King of Shu, would be greatly hindered.
No one wanted to have such an enemy. Not to mention how many people stood behind him, just counting the school, many officials were tied to him. Once the accounts were checked, there would be a purge in the court. The power that belonged to His Highness, the King of Shu, really could not stand any more torment …
After some depression and wind and rain, the capital city returned to the surface of calmness.
In the Hall of Diligent Government, Emperor Jing put down the memorial, rubbed between his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "Send more people. Send ten Executives in the palace out. If they can't find him, don't come back!"
Chang De's figure silently retreated.
In the wide square of the Ganlu Hall, a figure was moving, and the sword shadows were dense. A gray-haired old woman stood in the distance and looked at it, sighing slowly.
Not long after, the figure stopped and walked here. He did not look at the golden egg fried rice on the stone steps, but carried the jar of wine beside him into the hall.
In the Mathematics College, the classroom was empty at lunchtime. Li Xuan looked out of the window absentmindedly. Another handsome man came in with a lunch box and put it in front of him. After glancing at him, he walked out without saying a word.
Outside the college, Li Han's chubby figure had lost a lot of weight. At this moment, he was standing in the corner with his hands behind his back, loudly reprimanding several young men.
"Ten days."
The young maidservant sat in the courtyard, counting the days with her fingers. Although her face was much paler than before, it was still somewhat healthy.
Son-in-law had sent a letter a few days ago, saying that he had an urgent matter to attend to in a faraway place and would only be back after a very long time. How long was a very long time? A month? Or two months?
She was actually very happy that Miss was pregnant, but the son-in-law was not around, and even the Second Miss had disappeared for almost ten days. She just could not be happy …
Hearing the voice behind her, she looked back and immediately stood up. She hurriedly ran over and said, "Miss, don't move. Let me do it!"
…
…
There was a lot of space inside the carriage, and it was covered with a thick brocade couch. However, it was still a little bumpy on the official road.
These people seemed to be in a hurry. Except for the first night when the river was congested, they had to stop for a short while. After that, they hurried on day and night. Apart from Taoist Nun, there were dozens of people accompanying them. Without exception, all of them were masters. Li Yi had seen two of them in purple at the Hero Conference. They were all masters in the Heaven List. The other people in blue also gave off an extraordinary feeling.
Not counting the Taoist nun, this kind of strength in the Jianghu could be considered as a not insignificant force.
Taoist Nun gave him a very strange feeling. Apart from a few words in the beginning, she had not taken the initiative to speak again.
She did not even mention the method of making colored glaze.
However, as for the various requests that Kieran made to test Kieran and even his rude and excessive actions, Kieran agreed to all of them without hesitation.
The more she acted like this, the more he felt that she was plotting something big.
He took out a painting scroll from his sleeve. This was the one he had obtained from the man in blue. After slowly unfolding it, he saw the woman in the painting. A look of confusion and confusion appeared on his face.
"I don't think so." After a long time, he shook his head and dispelled an unrealistic thought from his mind.
"Holy Religion." Li Yi leaned against the carriage and slowly said a few words. "Good stuff …"
In another carriage ahead, a middle-aged Taoist nun sat cross-legged with a thin book in her hand.
"In the sixth month of the first year of Jinghe, Qing 'an Prefecture, Li family village."
"On the seventh day of the seventh month, 'Immortal at the Magpie Bridge', the unknown scholar's name shook Qing 'an Prefecture. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month,' Shuidiao Getou ', he was awarded the title of' Number One Scholar of the Jing Kingdom '."
"Candied haws, Ruyi nectar, strong wine, scented soap, perfume …"
"Master of Heavenly Punishment, changed interrogation by torture, innovated mathematics, turned the tide, defeated the envoy of the Qi Kingdom …"
…
After a while, the Taoist nun put the book to one side and said, "Invite that guest over."
"Yes, Madam!"
Immediately, one of the men turned his horse around and rode to the front of another carriage.
He said to the people standing guard outside, "Her Ladyship has orders to invite this guest over."
"Shh …" One of the men made a shushing gesture and said, "Keep your voice down."
"He fell asleep again?" The man's face showed an expression of disbelief.
The others nodded helplessly.
"Forget it, I'll go report to Her Ladyship." The man shook his head helplessly, turned his horse around again and rode forward.
He had seen people who liked to sleep, but this was the first time he had seen someone who slept during the day and slept at night, only waking up for meals.
No wonder Her Ladyship treated him so specially. After all, there weren't many people in this world who liked to sleep so much.
"Then let's wait for him to wake up." After reporting the truth, there was a pause before a voice came from inside the carriage.
…
…
It was already late at night in the capital. There was less than an hour left until the curfew.
There were almost no pedestrians on the streets. Two slightly tired figures walked out of a brothel.
A few steps behind them, several figures followed closely behind.
Wan Ruoqing turned her head and asked, "Zuimo, are you really going to the Zeng family tomorrow?"
Zuimo nodded and said, "I want to go there and bring back my parents' memorial tablets."
Wan Ruoqing thought about it and said, "I'll go with you."
Zuimo shook her head. "No need. It's not a dangerous place. I'll be fine alone."
"Alright, I'll wait for you outside the Zeng family tomorrow." Wan Ruoqing nodded and then sighed. "I wonder how he is. There hasn't been any news from the brothel for a long time."
Zuimo raised her head, and a trace of deep regret appeared on her face.
If she hadn't asked Xiao Cui to lie to him that day, if she had asked him to stay for just a quarter of an hour, would that incident not have happened?
"Who!"
Suddenly, an explosive shout came from behind them. The eight people immediately rushed forward and surrounded Wan Ruoqing and Zeng Zuimo with their backs to the outside. One of them even unsheathed his weapon and revealed a vigilant expression as he pointed to a distant alley on the side.
One person looked into the darkness and said coldly, "Stop hiding and come out!"
Only the man's words echoed in the dark alley. There was still no sound.
