After dawn, Wen Qingzhu saw Fu Lie's back as soon as he opened his eyes.
He was sitting at the table, still wearing his shirt, looking at something.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly woke up, put on his coat, then took Fu Lie's coat, walked behind him, and put it on.
I looked over and asked him, "What are you looking at?"
Fu Lie glanced sideways, held her hand and sat down: "It's news from the northwest."
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the envelope on the table, and the signature seemed familiar to him.
At this moment, Fu Lie handed over the letter: "Look, it's a letter written by the teacher."
Wen Qingzhu took it and took a look, his face became more and more solemn.
After she put down the letter, she felt a little unbelievable: "So, it's not that the Huns have not taken action, but that they have been taking action?"
"Well, the Xiongnu sent more spies to the Central Plains than we thought. The teacher has already found his former classmates to investigate the matter secretly. The death of Princess Yijia last time was not just an accident."
Fu Lie took out two more letters to read, but Wen Qingzhu was distracted.
If the Huns have been taking action, Da Qi has not received any news. This is not the Huns' style at all.
Could it be Lu Ce
Wen Qingzhu felt a headache when he thought of Lu Ce. Did Lu Ce really defect to the Huns
At this moment, Zuo Bingning's voice sounded outside the door.
Fu Lie glanced outside the door, put away the letter and went to the inner room.
As soon as Zuo Bingning came in, she saw Fu Lie's back and immediately turned around to leave.
Wen Qingzhu immediately called to her: "Come in, it's okay."
Zuo Bingning was a little embarrassed, but she had something important to do, so she came in anyway.
Wen Qingzhu looked up at the person in front of him. Zuo Bingning was wearing a dark riding outfit, with a sword hanging on his waist and a bag on his back. He looked like he was about to leave.
"Are you leaving?" Wen Qingzhu waved her to sit down.
Zuo Bingning put down the baggage and nodded: "Well, I'm still worried. It's been so long and there's been no news from the Xiongnu. In the replies my father and Uncle Lu gave me, they said everything was fine, but I I still feel very uneasy, so I want to go back and take a look first.”
"Are you still going to the Huns?"
Zuo Binning hurriedly shook her head: "If you don't go, don't go! I have carefully read the books and letters you gave me these days. Combined with the princes of the Huns, especially King Zuo Xian, he has been trying to persuade Lu Ce , it has not been successful for so many years, how can it be possible this time."
"Then what are you doing back?" Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but ask.
Seeing Zuo Bingning speak, it was clear that she had thought everything through.
But why does she still want to go back
Zuo Bingning's face darkened and her tone was a little low: "It's the second sister of the Lu family. She's sick. She's very serious. The Lu family is in chaos now. Uncle Lu and the others are busy with border matters. Lu Gui and Dai Dai have no one to take care of them. My mother He said, let me go back and help take care of the Lu family’s two children.”
This reason made her unable to let Zuo Bingning go, so she could only ask her: "Then do you want me to send someone to take you back?"
"No, no! I can come here alone, and I can go back intact!" Zuo Binning said immediately, not wanting to cause trouble to Wen Qingzhu.
Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Wen Qingzhu had to ask someone to prepare more money for her, and also gave her some tokens, including Wen Yufeng's token.
Zuo Bingning picked out this inconspicuous gray-brown wooden plaque and asked in surprise: "Why do you have Wen Yufeng's token?"
Hearing what she said, Wen Qingzhu became curious: "He is the leader of the martial arts alliance and a daughter of an official family. Why do you seem to be very familiar with him?"
"Of course we are familiar!" Zuo Bingning looked a little excited, "Don't you know? Lu Ce and Wen Yufeng are very familiar with each other!"
Halfway through, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "But very few people know about this matter. I also accidentally discovered this token on Lu Ce. After tracing for a long time, I found out that this was Wen Yufeng's token. With this, I can walk sideways in the martial arts world!"
With the last sentence, Zuo Bingning was extremely proud.
Seeing what she said, Wen Qingzhu began to think deeply. Was it really Wen Yufeng who had found out the information about Jiang Yuancheng that Wen Yufeng had revealed to her
After being excited for a while, Wen Qingzhu stayed with Zuo Binning for lunch.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she discussed with Fu Lie and arranged for several secret guards to follow her.
After finishing the meal, he took her out in person.
As soon as Zuo Binning left, Wen Qingzhu mentioned Wen Yufeng's matter to Fu Lie: "Do you know much about things in the martial arts world? Especially about the martial arts leader?"
Wen Qingzhu has found everything that should be investigated, but when Zuo Binning said this today, Wen Qingzhu always felt that there was something else that she didn't know.
Fu Lie followed her into the room and sat down, hesitating for a moment: "Wen Yufeng is not a complicated person, but he switched sides too quickly before, so I am still a little suspicious."
"I think so too, but judging from his behavioral motives, he won't be on the opposite side of us." Wen Qingzhu said while thinking deeply.
Fu Lie suddenly said: "How about this? I'll ask my uncle to go and take a trip. He just happened to go quietly to Jiangnan. Ning Xiu is too simple-tempered, and Princess Dejia is calm, but she hasn't experienced much, so she can take care of her." them."
"But isn't uncle still recovering from his illness?" Wen Qingzhu was a little worried.
Previously, Yang Song was arrested and sent to the Criminal Punishment Department. With Hei Jiren there, he would naturally be served with delicious food and drinks.
In addition, he had been suffering from a hidden disease for many years, so Wen Qingzhu simply let him stay in there to recuperate.
Fu Lie shook his head: "Uncle said that he is almost healed, and the situation has stabilized now. He can't get involved in matters in the capital, but he can still help with things outside. Previously, the Yang family of the Five Sects was in the martial arts world. There are also some old friends.”
After repeated discussions, Wen Qingzhu agreed with Fu Lie's view.
The two of them went to pick up Yang Song and brought him back. Hei Jiren saw him off in person. Yang Song had a sullen face during the whole journey.
It wasn't until I got into the carriage that I felt much better.
Wen Qingzhu was a little curious: "Why did uncle feel uncomfortable just now?"
It took a long time before Yang Song could hold back a sentence: "I don't like Hei Jiren."
Wen Qingzhu was startled for a moment, then laughed: "If uncle doesn't like it, then he doesn't have to be polite for my sake. There are many people who don't like Hei Jiren anyway."
Yang Song shook his head but said nothing.
Hei Jiren had done a lot behind the scenes of the Yang family's affairs back then.
Moreover, although Hei Jiren's name means to be kind and helpful, he is vicious and vicious, and he is accustomed to following the crowd and doing whatever the wind demands.
Yang Song used to hate him, but now he knows that Hei Jiren is Wen Qingzhu's man and has been helping Fu Lie a lot, but he still doesn't like him.
When we got home, everything was arranged one by one.
Yang Song is also a cheerful person and is ready to leave on the same day.
But before leaving, he said with some worry: "Before, I was careful with the Criminal Division, and Lord Hei has been passing me news from outside. Your current situation is not very good. If you really can't handle it, let them go." do you know!"
"Uncle, don't worry, I know." Wen Qingzhu has never been worried, as long as the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth.
Yang Song wanted to say something else, but as soon as he saw Fu Lie, he felt relaxed.
"Lie'er, take good care of Qingzhu." He patted Fu Lie on the shoulder and warned him, his eyes full of love and trust.
Fu Lie personally helped Yang Song get into the car, gave several more instructions, and finally lowered the car curtain amidst Yang Song's false scolding.
After watching him leave, Wen Qingzhu thought about it and found that the most important problem now was the northwest.
In the study room of Xuanzheng Hall, Jiang Yuanhan was reviewing the memorial.
Wu Mian came in quietly and whispered a few words.
Jiang Yuanhan's writing suddenly stopped, he pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle Yang has gone to Jiangnan, and the matter between Li Wei and Yao Ban should be resolved."
Wu Mian hesitated for a moment and said, "Aren't you going to wait until Prince Ning comes back before making a decision?"
Jiang Yuanhan raised his head, looked at Wu Mian and said: "There is a wrongdoer and a debtor. In fact, Prince Ning is also responsible. If Concubine Li Guifei and Jiang Yijia hadn't been dead, I would have thought of demoting him instead of killing him. He is a commoner. Does Li Wei still want to cling to Prince Ning's relationship now?"
"My slave is talking too much." Wu Mian lowered his head, his heart sinking slightly.
The prince is becoming more and more like an emperor.
In the evening, Jiang Yuanhan sent someone to invite Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie into the palace, saying that they would have dinner together.
When Wen Qingzhu received the news, his heart changed.
Are they going to deal with Li Wei and Yao Ban
But now that things have settled, it's time to resolve it.
Wen Qingzhu didn't hesitate too much. He simply packed up and followed the eunuch who sent the message into the palace.
When we arrived at the palace gate, the sedan chair and chariot were already waiting.
Wen Qingzhu did not go up immediately, but asked the chief guard at the door: "Has the Marquis gone in?"
"Not yet."
Wen Qingzhu looked back and realized that it was reasonable for Fu Lie to come.
Why haven't you come yet
The eunuch who sent the message asked respectfully: "Madam, why don't you go in and wait?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded and got on the sedan chair Jiang Yuanhan prepared for her.
The East Palace is on the right side of Qianyuan Palace.
If they want to go there, they have to pass through Qianyuan Palace.
Sitting on the sedan chair, before arriving at Qianyuan Palace, Wen Qingzhu saw from a distance a woman holding her eldest grandson Linlang and talking about something.
The eldest grandson Linlang looked embarrassed, as if she didn't know how to answer.
When the sedan chair approached, the eldest grandson Linlang spotted her and immediately turned around and bowed: "Slave, please see Mrs. Fu Hou!"
Wen Qingzhu originally just wanted to nod and leave, but he found a somewhat familiar girl standing behind the beaded-haired lady.
"Stop!"
Following her instructions, the sedan chair landed smoothly.
Lu Tao helped her out and stood in front of Changsun Linlang.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the lady in front of him and asked Linlang: "Changsun Shanggong, who is this lady and this girl?"
Before eldest son Linlang could answer, the lady immediately smiled attentively: "Mrs. Fuhou, I am Mrs. Hu, and my husband is Hu Yingzhuo, a doctor in the household department."
"It turns out to be Mrs. Hu." Wen Qingzhu nodded as a greeting.
Seeing her being so polite, Mrs. Hu smiled even more.
The girl behind her suddenly snorted.
Mrs. Hu suddenly understood and pulled the girl forward to introduce to Wen Qingzhu: "Mrs. Fu Hou, this is my youngest son's eldest daughter, Hu Ruoxin, madam, what do you think?"
Wen Qingzhu looked the girl up and down, and saw something vaguely familiar between her eyebrows.
Suddenly, Wen Qingzhu said: "I really want to see you somewhere."
Hu Ruoxin then raised her head and showed a shy but actually flattering smile: "Madam, I am Qingxin's cousin, don't you remember? We met at the Liang family banquet."
Wen Qingxin’s cousin
Wen Qingzhu suddenly thought of it, and his smile deepened.
