Wu Ruo was not stopped by the guards when she came to Wenshuyuan, and went all the way to the main hall of Wenshuyuan unimpeded. The ministers were all quietly looking at the official documents, and only discussed with other ministers or asked Hei Xuanyi when there was something difficult to solve.
Seeing Wu Ruo, the eunuch guarding outside Da Ban's gate hurriedly shouted: "Prince Princess is here."
The ministers raised their heads and saw Wu Ruo coming in with a food box, and they all stood up: "Your Majesty has seen the Crown Princess."
Wu Ruo quickly said: "You are busy with your work, don't worry about me, by the way, I brought you a tonic soup, everyone will have a rest, drink a bowl of soup and then get busy."
Hei Xuanyi put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "What time is it?"
Wu Ruo said: "It's almost Haishi."
Hei Xuanyi frowned: "It's so late? Then everyone go back to rest after drinking the soup."
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, thanking Wu Ruolai in their hearts, otherwise they would really die of exhaustion in the Wenshuyuan.
Everyone drank the soup and left one after another.
Wu Ruo took the last bowl of soup and sat beside Hei Xuanyi: "You also have a bowl of soup for a rest."
"Yeah." Hei Xuanyi took the soup bowl, scooped up a spoonful of soup and blew it.
Wu Ruo looked at Wenshuyuan while he was drinking the soup. Except for the office space in the middle, the entire hall was surrounded by bookshelves filled with various books and official documents. There are so many official documents and letters that can almost overwhelm people, no wonder everyone is so busy.
"I have to read so many official documents every day, I should let the imperial kitchen stew pot clear soup for eyesight and protection."
Hei Xuanyi did not object, they overuse their eyes every day, and they really need clear soup to protect their eyes.
Wu Ruo waited for him to finish drinking before asking: "Do you know the place Wuxuan Pavilion?"
"Of course I know, they often come out to do good deeds." Hei Xuanyi put down the bowl: "People say that the owner of the Wuxuan Pavilion is a great benevolent person, but that may not be the case in my eyes."
"How to say?"
"The Wuxuan Pavilion is quite large, with about tens of thousands of disciples. In addition to sending disciples to take on tasks to earn money on weekdays, there are also several large shops in the gate. According to this situation, they don't earn much money, but If they can own a high-quality magic weapon and donate money to help people, if they don’t take private jobs in private, how can they have so much money to support so many people?”
Wu Ruo frowned: "You mean they will do some outrageous things in private for money?"
"Whether he has done anything against nature or reason is still not quite sure.
"Have you investigated them?"
"I have been sending people to investigate them. There have been several major genocide cases. I suspect that they did it. Even the family members of Imperial Physician Yao were in danger and the family of Imperial Physician Shen was exterminated. I think they may have done it. It's a pity that their methods of committing crimes are so clever that they can erase their traces of committing crimes every time. I even suspect that some ministers are secretly dealing with their aftermath.
"Then do you doubt which minister gave them the aftermath?"
"Well, but there is no evidence, and they can't be easily dealt with. Moreover, I still have to rely on them to catch the big fish behind."
"Have you ever tried a mysterious technique similar to the technique of speaking spirit to confuse them and make others tell the truth?"
"They are very cautious in doing things, and they will be brainwashed after each mission to clear up what they have done." Hei Xuanyi looked at him suspiciously: "Why did you suddenly ask about Wuxuan Pavilion?"
"The thing is like this..." Wu Ruo recounted what Yeji saw the five children today: "Shou prison said that the five children are disciples of Wuxuan Pavilion. After listening to your words, I am even more sure that the five children are for the purpose of killing talents." Going to the ring, just like what Ye Yi said, they are likely to be the same as controlling the nine sixth-level magicians.
Hei Xuanyi squinted his eyes: "Then I need to add more people to investigate this matter."
"By the way, there is one more thing." Wu Ruo said when Jiujiu encountered Wuzhi: "I think the Holy Emperor of the Heavenly Holy Kingdom is uneasy and kind. Even the Holy Emperor is likely to help the old clan deal with us and regain the throne in order to understand the curse." .”
"It's possible." Hei Xuanyi frowned: "He came to the Kingdom of the Dead in person, and his purpose should not be as simple as breaking the curse."
"Then what purpose do you think they have?"
"I can't guess it for the time being, but we have to take precautions in advance. Starting tomorrow, I will ask the second sister to step up training."
Wu Ruo asked in surprise, "Second sister is in charge of training soldiers?"
"Well, she is in charge of the military department, and sometimes she is responsible for helping with military training."
Wu Ruo: "..."
It's hard to imagine that Hei Zihe, who likes to wear glittering gold, is in charge of the Ministry of War.
"Does she have to wear armor if she is training soldiers? Then, her armor is made of gold."
Hei Xuanyi chuckled: "She does have a light armor made of gold."
Wu Ruo was speechless: "Sure enough."
"It's late, let's go back to the palace to rest." Hei Xuanyi pulled Wu Ruo to stand up.
Wu Ruo said: "Let's rest in the Wenshuyuan. This way, we can save walking time and allow you to sleep for half an hour longer."
The Jinlin Hall where the officials go to court is not far from the Wenshuyuan, but there is a certain distance from the Hengxing Palace. It takes some time to go back and forth, so it is better to let Hei Xuanyi take a good rest.
Hei Xuanyi took Wu Ruo to the room where he usually rested, and after taking a bath, he fell asleep with her in his arms. As soon as Yinshi arrives, he has to get up and go to court again.
Wu Ruo also got up and went back to Hengxing Palace to catch up on sleep, and only got up after 10 o'clock to accompany the children to have breakfast, read books, learn mystical arts, and take time to see Hei Xuanxi in the afternoon.
Now, after more than a month of recuperation, Hei Xuanxi's body is getting better and better, his face has returned to rosy, and he can get out of bed and walk around, so there is no need for Wu Ruo to come to check his pulse every day to check his body.
However, the weather is cold, and it is not possible to go out of the room to blow cold wind.
In the next few days, Wu Ruo would bring Bu Tang to Wenshuyuan to see Hei Xuanyi every night. When the ministers saw him coming, it was like seeing a Bodhisattva who rescued them from the sea of suffering, so they could go back to their rooms early to rest.
On the last day of the month, Lao Hei came again to deliver Wu Ruo's account book and bank notes.
Wu Ruo directly opened the ledger for Xiao Xiao to check.
Old Hei, who was sitting by the side, said with a smile, "The business of No. 1 shop is getting better and better. If the shops in the border towns are not expensive, I would like to ask Master to buy more shops. Otherwise, it will be so busy that everyone has no place to stand."
Wu Ruo thought for a while and said, "Isn't there a small yard behind Shop No. 1? Let's expand it into a medicine shop, and make the floor ten stories higher. Remember to leave a small place under the first floor for a hut and a meeting place." In the living room, the tenth floor is like an inn, made into multiple small rooms for people to rest."
"Ten floors?" Lao Hei's eyes widened in surprise, "I've never seen such a tall pavement or house before, except for the pagoda. Is this too high? Besides, our current pavement is considered a half-old old house." , if it is built further up, it is likely to collapse.”
Wu Ruo curled her lips: "No, as long as I put down the formation and stick the talisman on it, it won't be a problem if it stands for hundreds of years."
Old Hei smiled reassuringly: "Okay, I will find a craftsman to build it after I go back."
"You give more money to the craftsmen so that they can build it as soon as possible. Also, the materials used to build the house must be the best."
"no problem."
Wu Ruo lowered her head and asked Xiao Xiao: "Have you finished watching?"
Xiao Xiao nodded: "There is nothing wrong."
Old Hei praised: "Your Highness is really amazing, if you weren't here, I'm afraid I would have to bury my head in reading the account book every day."
Little grinned at him.
"That's right." Lao Hei looked at Wu Ruo: "Master Jun Xing asked me to send you a message."
Wu Ruo was startled: "Why would he send a message to you?"
"He saw me last night when he came to Shop No. 1 to buy things, and the guys in the shop called me the shopkeeper, so he immediately guessed that Shop No. 1 was opened by you.
The plaque in shop No. 1 was nominated by the emperor himself, and it also had the emperor's seal, and the shop also sells talismans from other countries, and there is Lao Hei as the big shopkeeper, so it is not difficult for Jun Xing to guess.
Wu Ruo asked cautiously: "Are you sure he is Lord Junxing?"
Now that everyone in the old clan knows his identity, it is hard to guarantee that no one will disguise himself as Junxing to lure him out.
"I checked his identity with him. He knows everything that happened with the uncles in the 18th floor inn, so I can be sure it is him."
"Then what did he say?"
"He wants to ask you to meet at Shop No. 1 tomorrow night, so he doesn't know if you're free."
When Wu Ruo heard the meeting place, he was sure that the other party was Jun Xing. If it was someone who wanted to harm him, he would not be so stupid as to meet at No. 1 shop. After all, No. 1 shop is full of his people, and the opposite is the Yamen, who would be so stupid? Hurt him there: "Okay, if he arrives earlier than me tomorrow night, you can take him to your room and prepare a table of good wine and food for him."
"Okay." Hei smiled and turned his gaze outside: "Master, I want to go to the backyard to see Fuqiu."
Wu Ruo smiled: "Did she agree to be with you?"
Old Hei made a bitter face: "After I told her about Tianxing Kingdom, she immediately rejected me, but I don't want to give up so quickly."
"If you really like her, work harder, I believe that one day you will be able to impress her."
"Well, I'm going down first."
Lao Hei left the main hall and went to the backyard, and then saw Nian Xia who lived in the small palace next door also walked to the backyard.
Nian Xia's status in the palace is very embarrassing. In the eyes of those who don't know her, she is the woman who gave birth to the prince. It stands to reason that everyone should respect her. However, the prince does not recognize her identity. Everyone here knows Nian Xia, and to them, Nian Xia is nothing more than a servant with a low status, so it is easy for people to ignore her existence because of her status.
Nianxia came to the backyard, and found Fuqiu's room familiarly.
Fu Qiu was embroidering flowers, when she heard footsteps, she raised her head and saw that it was Nian Xia, then lowered her head and continued to embroider.
"Fuqiu, you still live here." Nian Xia looked around and sneered, "After losing my bed, this room is much more spacious."
Fu Qiu acted as if he didn't hear what she was saying, earnestly embroidering the silk on his hand.
