Chu Qingyan sighed and shook her head, "I received a letter from Yanluo in the past two days, she said that Zhijing's condition is not very good, they are going to take her to a medicine valley, that place belongs to the legendary place in medical books, it is very Hidden, so they might disappear for a while."
Speaking of this, she said with a heavy tone, "According to the time difference of the message, they should have already set off. If you tell King Yi at this time, you can't find them, it will only add to his worries and anxiety, it is better to wait for Yan Luo. Let's tell King Yi again when the news comes. If people are overjoyed and grieved, it is the worst thing to do."
After the little guy's reminder, Xiao Xu followed some clues and found that the emperor's younger brother has indeed changed a lot compared to the past, and it seems that there is nothing worth caring about.
Hearing these words, he couldn't help but nod in agreement with her thoughts, "You are right, since Miss Pang is not sure about the news, it is better not to tell him first, I just found out a few days ago, three My brother was seriously ill because of Miss Pang, and now what he needs is peace of mind."
Having said this, Xiao Xu frowned slightly, "I heard that he has not stepped out of the gate recently, and he doesn't know what he is doing, and his will is very depressed."
He's been so busy recently that he didn't pay attention to the emperor's younger brother.
"So we have to keep him busy." Chu Qingyan blinked and gave him a mischievous smile.
Xiao Xu chuckled lightly, raised his hand and scratched her nose, and replied, "Okay."
When Xiao Hou received Xiao Xu's oral order, he was drinking.
After revenge, hatred, and grievances, the big stone in his heart finally disappeared. After returning from the palace, he never interfered in anything outside, but immersed himself in wine, as if such a drunken life could make him fall asleep without having to think about anything.
Lin Jiangdong has always been very worried about his master's depressed state of mind. Now, as soon as he received news from the palace, he quickly found his master.
"What? Brother Huang is going to ask me to dig out Xiao Ran?" Although there were several jugs lying at his feet, Xiao Hou's will was sober. He couldn't believe the news he heard, so he raised his hand and rubbed it Sore eyebrows.
Lin Jiangdong stepped over the jug on the ground, walked up to him, repeated the news in the palace without a word, and said, "I think it's the people of His Royal Highness who are working on the reconstruction of the imperial court, so I can't find anyone to deal with Xiao Ran, so I want to find you."
Xiao Hou raised his eyebrows, this is not impossible.
"But I'm not all the people in the court who helped him replace him. How could it be my turn to help him deal with it?" Xiao Hou still has doubts, others don't know, but he shouted after fighting with him for so many years, no I don't know how cunning this imperial brother is, and suddenly letting him come forward must not be as simple as lack of manpower.
Lin Jiangdong was afraid that he would not pick it up, and immersed in the wine, he racked his brains to defend Xiao Xu, "You also know that the previous imperial court was a rotten root, even if King Ying and you worked together to solve many officials, but These are all just serving in Kyoto. How many greedy and bad local officials can be replaced overnight. Even if they can be replaced, there are not so many competent people. Besides, how many problems are left behind before the emperor's death? Now, it is very difficult for His Royal Highness King Ying to stabilize Chao Gang, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy if I want to spare other things."
Xiao Hou took a sip of his wine and felt that what the husband said made some sense. Originally, he has no meaning in life and can leave at any time. However, there is something difficult on the emperor's side, and he is fine. He can help if he can. .
He put down the jug, brushed his sleeves, leaned back on the chair, and ordered lazily, "Send spies to check where Xiao Ran appeared last, and see if you can find any clues."
Lin Jiangdong originally thought that it would take a little more to talk to his master, but he didn't expect that the master would agree so quickly.
Xiao Hou couldn't see what he was thinking, he twitched the corners of his mouth, reached out and picked up the jug and stood up again. The autumn wind blew into the wide open window, and in the whistling evening wind, he walked to the windowsill step by step. , the sleeves were lifted by the wind, and it was a little more fluttering, but the back figure gave people the feeling of more loneliness and desolation.
Little rogue, it looks like I'm going to see you later.
He raised his head and took a sip of wine, which was strong and choking in his throat, but it was also easy to paralyze and suffer.
A day later, Xiao Xu received the news that Xiao Hou was leaving Beijing. At that time, he was having dinner with his daughter-in-law, so he shared the news with her, "The third brother does have some means, and Xiao Ran's whereabouts have been found in a short period of time. "
Chu Qingyan is drinking sour fish soup. Since she was pregnant, she has loved to eat sour, but the big ice cube thinks that her eating small sour fruit is not nutritious, so she ordered the imperial kitchen to cook her all kinds of sour food to fill her up. She was greedy when she heard the words, "I don't think the people who can trip you up in those few years are so bad!" That was at least an equal opponent to Big Ice, but fortunately they finally shook hands and made peace.
Xiao Xu nodded, "Actually, these brothers are not bad."
Chu Qingyan paused, remembering that Xiao Yao used the identity of a prodigal son as a disguise to seek security, and remembered that Xiao Hou used the identity of a sick man as a disguise to keep a low profile and bide his time. The master of eating tigers, and very successful.
Thinking of this, her inspiration suddenly flashed, and she blinked slyly, "By the way, haven't you been worrying about the construction of several badly damaged cities these two days, who should you send to supervise them?"
"Don't you have a good candidate?" Now is the time to hire people, but the people who can basically be used have already been dispatched, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so Xiao Xu has been worrying for the past two days, accidentally and the little guy When she mentioned this, she didn't expect her to remember.
She smiled, "What do you think of the second prince?"
Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows, "Why do you have this proposal?"
"Do you think a person who can dig tunnels out of the city without knowing it, doesn't have a few skilled craftsmen on hand?"
Xiao Xuping's calm eyes lighted up slightly because of her words, he pulled his daughter-in-law into his arms and kissed it heavily, then pressed her forehead and said with a light smile, "Ayan, you are really a virtuous person. Helper!"
Chu Qingyan raised her chin, "That's right, don't even look at who I am! You can't be too busy as a big brother, and everyone else is having a good time, it's too unreasonable! "
"It's still Ayan, you feel bad for me."
"That is-"
Before he finished speaking, he was sealed with a kiss.
Someone who was strutting around the night market sneezed heavily. He touched his nose and looked at the sky. It was getting colder and colder today, and it seemed it was time to go home and put on some clothes.
So someone swaggered back to the house again, completely unaware that he had been tricked by two foxes.
