The door of the Longyin Palace's Vermilion Lacquer Hall opened with a clang, and Leng Qixi walked out of it with a stern expression. Without even looking at the crowds of people in front of her, she walked straight through the Chaoshou Corridor in the other direction.
eleven!
Finally, someone I knew well came out.
Mo Shuang felt happy and quickly followed him.
"Brother Eleven" she called softly.
Leng Qixi paused and turned around. When he saw her, his expression was slightly startled. He looked her up and down and bowed slightly, "I wonder what orders this lady has for Eleven?"
The woman who called him eleventh brother, presumably fourth brother, looked familiar, but he did not remember that he knew this woman.
His tone was humble and indifferent, which shocked Mo Shuang.
Also, he has never seen her like she is now, so how can he recognize her
It doesn't matter if she doesn't know him, she just wants to know about Leng Qisu's situation.
"Brother Eleven, how is the Emperor?"
"The imperial doctor is treating you inside!" Leng Qixi thought for a while and gave an ambiguous answer.
"Then what big thing happened in the capital?"
In fact, as soon as she asked, she knew that the man in front of her would not tell her, so she just asked the first question and she understood.
Sure enough, Leng Qixi smiled slightly, "It's better that the harem doesn't know this!"
He said it politely, but she really heard it.
The meaning is obvious, that is, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.
"If your Majesty has no other instructions, and I still have urgent matters to attend to, I'll take my leave now!" After saying that, he turned around and left in a stride.
Looking solemn, walking in a hurry, have something urgent to do
Mo Shuang lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly her eyes narrowed...
***************************************
The night slowly enveloped me, as cold as water.
The palace lanterns were lit one after another, like long dragons emitting dim light, and the palace, which had been noisy for a day, had already quieted down.
The Longyin Palace was also quiet. The imperial doctors and ministers had all gone back. Linglong even sent all the maids away and stayed alone in the Longyin Palace to serve the emperor personally.
The imperial doctor said that Leng Qisu's illness was no longer serious, but he needed to rest, so Linglong conveyed his instructions. While he was recuperating, he would not go to court in the morning for the time being, and no one was allowed to go to Longyin Palace to disturb him, including the civil and military officials and the harem. woman.
At midnight, at the top of the moon
Most of the people in the palace were already asleep, and only the guards on night duty were walking in rows along the palace roads.
A dark figure emerged from the window sill of Longyin Palace, tiptoed, flew up, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Not far outside the palace, there is a small forest.
Three black figures were there, one of them kept explaining something to the other two, and the two black figures nodded from time to time.
A breeze blew by, there was a dense rustling of leaves, and a figure landed gracefully behind them.
This person is the one who just came out of Longyin Palace.
The three of them turned around, used the moonlight to see clearly who was coming, and quickly stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty!"
Leng Qisu said "hmm". There was no sign of illness on his jade-like face. He was just condensed and not angry, which made people afraid to look directly. He glanced at the three people in front of him and said calmly. He said in a loud voice, "Don't call me Emperor outside, call me Fourth Master!"
"Yes, Fourth Master!"
Finally, Leng Qisu turned to look at the person he had just been explaining to, and pursed his lips, "Eleventh Brother, I will leave all the matters in the palace to you during my absence from the court for the past few days. Linglong will be here for the time being. The Longyin Palace is blocking me and not letting anyone in. She is meticulous and can act according to the situation, so there should be no problem, but you should be more careful, after all, those who harbor evil intentions are all-pervasive."
"Well, don't worry, fourth brother! I will do my best!" Leng Qixi clasped his fists, paused for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows and said: "Actually, fourth brother, there is no need for fourth brother to personally take risks in this matter, let's Brother Chen, just go check it out..."
Leng Qisu raised his hand to stop him, "No, this matter is of great importance. I must investigate it personally, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."
He slowly narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with coldness.
This morning, officials from all over the country reported one after another that a horse farm in the capital was secretly buying horses and recruiting horsemen from various places.
Originally, it was normal for a racecourse to buy and sell horses, but the number of horses purchased and horsemen recruited at this racecourse was astonishingly rare.
Leng Qisu knew that such incidents in the past dynasties were usually related to rebellions.
He originally planned to ask an official from the DPRK to make an unannounced visit and allocate some silver to find out the price trend of buying and selling horses.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the treasury, I found that the sealed boxes and sealed official silver in the treasury were actually stones.
The silver in the treasury is just stone, how important this matter is!
Nowadays, there are a large number of people buying horses again!
He believed that there must be some connection between these two things, and both of them must be related to Leng Qiyi.
He must find out personally and resolve the matter before Leng Qiyi takes action, otherwise, there will be another bloody storm.
He knew that he had just ascended the throne and his roots were unstable. There were still many Leng Qiyi's eyes and ears in the court and even in the palace, so he deliberately appeared in the scene where he vomited a lot of blood in the court hall.
Of course, he did have an attack due to the poisonous effect of crabapple cake, but it was far less serious than what everyone thought. The reason why he made such a big noise was just to let those who were interested know that he was sick and was in court. Just recuperating.
First, you can cover up people's eyes and sneak out of the palace to investigate; second, you can make the enemy relax their vigilance.
After withdrawing his thoughts, he looked at Leng Qixi again and pointed at the other two people, "The two of them."
"Fourth brother, don't worry. The two of them were found by my brother at the Guards' racecourse. They are familiar with horses and proficient in equestrian skills. They should be of great help to fourth brother in getting into the racecourse. Moreover, they were both My subordinates are all trustworthy people, one of them is called Zhuzi and the other is called Xiaowu!"
"Well" Leng Qisu nodded, his sharp gaze swept over the two people who lowered their eyes and nodded, and slowly raised his eyebrows, "Zhuzhu? Xiaowu? What we are going to do this time is related to the country, the country, and the safety of the people. If we succeed, After all, you two are indispensable, and I will give you a generous reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Huh?" Leng Qisu frowned.
"Thank you, Fourth Master!"
"Well, let's go then!"
After Leng Qisu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered something, stopped in his tracks, and turned around, "By the way, Brother Eleven, I have one more thing to ask of you. Protect the Yaohua Palace for me." woman!"
A woman from Yaohua Palace
The maid who borrowed the dragon couch and bore the dragon seed
Leng Qixi was stunned and didn't react. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Leng Qisu walking away quickly with light steps, leaving only a trace of his back in the night.
The two people named Zhuzi and Xiaowu also quickly followed.
The night was so dark that no one noticed the complicated look in the eyes of the man named Xiao Wu.
After they were all gone, and even their figures were no longer visible, Leng Qixi was still standing alone in the wind, and did not come back to his senses for a while.
Over the years, he knew full well the relationship between Leng Qisu and Linglong.
Later, he also knew clearly the relationship between Leng Qisu and the woman named Mo Zhuang.
He even saw Leng Qisu's entangled heart towards these two women.
Although Leng Qisu was hit hard by Mo Zhuang's betrayal, he knew that he still had that woman in his heart, even if the woman had disappeared.
Why did a woman from Yaohua Palace appear again
For some reason, the scene of him coming out of Longyin Palace in the early morning flashed before his eyes.
A woman called him eleventh brother and asked him eagerly about Leng Qisu.
That woman’s eyebrows…
His pupils suddenly narrowed, Mo Zhuang!
No wonder!
