"Then why are you so familiar with Wang Tu now?" Wen Qingzhu calmed down.
Asking this question brought back some memories of Wei Feng. His high-spirited expression slowly disappeared, replaced by a sad and depressed look.
Wen Qingzhu asked carefully: "Is it related to Aunt Qiaoyu?"
"Yes." Wei Feng took a deep breath and looked up at the distant horizon, "During the days when I was trapped, Yue Guo had a lot of contacts with him. Through Qiaoyu, I found out that Wang Tu was not an ordinary person. After secret investigation Only then did I find out that he was King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, but he had already left by then!”
Wen Qingzhu nodded. Although he knew more information about Wang Tu, judging from his traces, it seemed that what this man was planning was not simple.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these things. After so many years, Wang Tu's methods have only become more powerful. I will investigate slowly. The most important thing now is that Zhao Ke is a relative of General Weiyuan, and Zi Rui also cares about it. It’s because of General Zhao’s face that I can safely recommend him to join the Imperial Guard!”
Wei Feng pointed out the key points at once: "The military power held by the Zhao brothers is second only to Lu Chengen! If something goes wrong with them, the northwest will not be protected!"
"I have been thinking about this issue, and even wondered whether Fu Lie's accident was related to the Zhao family. However, after careful analysis, let alone the Lu family who doesn't know about Fu Lie's whereabouts, the Zhao family will only know about it."
The more problems that are exposed now, the more serious the situation is.
Wen Qingzhu was now not only worried about Fu Lie, but also began to worry about whether the Huns would really sweep in.
With Fu Lie's ability, he could resist the Huns, but Lu Ce was on the Huns' side, and now he took the initiative to trap Fu Lie, which made it difficult for Wen Qingzhu to calm down.
If we are really invaded by the Xiongnu, the world will be devastated and corpses will be everywhere!
"You handle the affairs of the court, leave the spies and the imperial army to me, and I guarantee to give you a satisfactory answer!" Wei Feng looked at Wen Qingzhu's expression becoming more and more serious, and he probably guessed what she was worried about.
Wen Qingzhu finally smiled: "Then these things will trouble you."
Wei Feng blinked at her, gave Yao'er a look, and she pushed Wei Feng to turn around and leave.
Watching his leaving figure, Wen Qingzhu suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how did you find out that Zhu Zirui had a problem?"
The wheelchair stopped, and Wei Feng's voice was a little unemotional: "On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Wei Yu's injuries were much more serious than Lu Lei's. He was puzzled because his martial arts skills were really higher than those of Lu Lei. , but Qimoche focused on his weaknesses from the very beginning, which led to his serious injury."
Wen Qingzhu took over his words and said: "So Wei Yu speculates that someone told Qi Moche his details, which made him almost die. So who knows him best? It must be someone from the Forbidden Army!"
"Yes!" Wei Feng's voice became colder, "Not only is Wei Yu's martial arts better than Zi Rui's, he also has a faster brain than Zi Rui! He carefully calculated everyone in the Forbidden Army, and only those recommended by Zi Rui had problems. ! After all, he himself never distinguishes between closeness and distance!"
"Then I understand. For your sake, I won't deal with Zhu Zirui!" Wen Qingzhu felt a little comforted. Wei Yu did indeed live up to her expectations.
Unexpectedly, Wei Feng immediately refused: "No! I wish Zirui's life will be smooth. If he doesn't suffer a little, the Zhu family may really be doomed in this life!"
After saying that, Wei Feng reminded Yao'er and asked her to push him down.
After they left, Wen Qingzhu suddenly burst into laughter.
The Wei family and the Fu family are indeed different!
Even if Wei Feng looks like this, taken alone, he can be on par with Fu Yu!
What's more, the Wei family also has Wei Yu, Wei Hai, and Wei Shuang, not to mention Wei Ziying, the backbone of the Wei family.
With so many talents, why not worry about the rise of the Wei family.
The sunset on the horizon fell, the night curtain spread over, and the stars were dotted on it. Without the moon, the starlight became more and more dazzling.
The capital was very quiet. People from the Ministry of War doubled their strength and began to patrol and search repeatedly.
At a glance, except for the lanterns at the door of each house, the entire capital was eerily quiet.
Wen Qingzhu was still standing on the tower of Xuanwu Gate, watching what was going on at the south gate.
She asked Lu Tao: "How long will it take?"
"Half an hour." Lu Tao looked back at the hourglass and replied softly.
Wen Qingzhu said nothing and just watched silently.
If there was still no news from Jiang Yuanhan, Wen Qingzhu would go there in person.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock—
There was finally movement on the other side of the city gate. The door on the left was opened, and a fast horse rushed towards the palace.
Wen Qingzhu's heart suddenly jumped up. Is this good news
In less than two quarters of an hour, the horse arrived at the bottom of the tower.
Wen Qingzhu was already waiting for him at the door. The messenger got off his horse, took out a letter from his arms, and knelt down to deliver it.
"Princess, take a look!"
After receiving his letter, Wen Qingzhu saw that the paint was still intact.
After taking it apart and looking at it, he raised his eyebrows and turned to tell Lu Tao: "Get ready to leave the palace!"
"Wait!" The messenger stood up and tore off the human and leather mask on his face, revealing a familiar face.
Wen Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat: "Why is it you!"
The person coming was none other than Ning Ping. He stretched out his hand to stop Wen Qingzhu: "Your Majesty is right. You don't trust him, but if you leave the capital too, the situation will be even worse!"
"What's going on over there in Kangcheng? Where's Zhao'er? What did he say to the emperor?" Wen Qingzhu was in a irritable mood. She had never been concealed so completely.
This feeling that things were not under her control made her very uncomfortable.
Ning Ping explained: "Tomorrow morning at the latest, the news from Kangcheng will definitely come back. I know that I can't talk about these issues that the princess mentioned. I don't know how to say it if I don't know. So please trust your majesty, princess. He can handle this matter well! The Shen family is just a merchant, already at the lowest level. If the emperor still can't handle it well, he will really be unworthy of being cultivated by the princess!"
"Did you say this? Or did the Emperor say this?" Wen Qingzhu frowned.
Ning Ping smiled bitterly: "What's the difference between what I said and what the emperor said?"
Wen Qingzhu remained silent.
After Ning Ping's repeated persuasion, Wen Qingzhu went to the Xuanzheng Hall.
In the side study room, the table is full of various folders of letters.
Wen Qingzhu was worried about Jiang Yuanhan, so he didn't even look at it for the time being.
Ning Ping looked at her expression and felt very moved when he thought of the emperor's actions in Kangcheng and the words he overheard.
He couldn't help but said: "Princess, you really don't have to worry, the emperor... is different from before, he can really handle it this time."
"Is it different from before?" Hearing what he said, Wen Qingzhu felt more and more uneasy.
Ning Ping seemed to have thought of something, and his tone was a little hesitant: "Well, the emperor is actually only twelve years old, but I think he is more like twenty years old. He acts very methodically. If you want to praise him, he can be said to be sophisticated and decisive! "
"Sophisticated and decisive? Have you been with His Majesty before you came here?" Wen Qingzhu could hardly sit still.
Ning Ping said that Jiang Yuanhan, whom she knew before, was two different people.
Seeing her getting more and more anxious, Ning Ping was worried that he would make mistakes if he said too much, so he said: "Princess, just wait. When the emperor comes back, you can see the changes in the emperor! It will definitely impress the princess!"
Wen Qingzhu didn't speak, just waited quietly.
Time passed slowly, and the white fish belly appeared in the east.
Outside the door, Xi'er hurried over and said, "There is billowing smoke coming from the direction of Kangcheng!"
Wen Qingzhu immediately stood up and walked out regardless of Ning Ping.
Ning Ping chased after her and explained: "Don't worry, Princess! The emperor will definitely be back in less than an hour!"
She stopped suddenly and turned to look at him: "Is this your plan too?"
"Of course, if the princess is really worried, you can wait at the palace gate!" Ning Ping pointed forward and made a suggestion.
Half an hour later, at the entrance of the palace.
Wen Qingzhu asked him impatiently: "Are you really sure that the emperor can come back within half an hour?"
"real!"
If Ning Ping's expression wasn't so sure, Wen Qingzhu would have left immediately.
Today is a day of rest, and the ministers do not have to go to court, so no one is at the entrance of the palace at the moment.
About a quarter of an hour passed, and at the end of the street, the army from the main camp on the outskirts of Beijing finally appeared.
The dragon flag at the front made Wen Qingzhu feel at ease instantly.
The army marched to the city gate and stopped.
The sound of iron hooves shook the dust on the ground.
The cavalry on both sides got out of the way, and Jiang Yuanhan rode slowly to Wen Qingzhu.
Seeing him appear in front of him intact, Wen Qingzhu finally felt relieved that Daqi would not have to go through another huge change.
Jiang Yuanhan got off his horse, walked up to Wen Qingzhu, and said with a smile: "Sister Qingqing! I'm back!"
Hearing this unfamiliar title, Wen Qingzhu didn't react for a moment.
Jiang Yuanhan was the first to point inside: "Let's go in together. I'll tell you about Kangcheng slowly."
Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked at him sideways.
As Ning Ping said, Jiang Yuanhan is really completely different!
Now he seems to have really grown up and looks more mature than Wen Mingxuan.
The two of them arrived at Qianyuan Palace together. Wen Qingzhu looked him up and down: "You're not injured, are you?"
"Don't worry, Sister Qingqing, you're not hurt! Do you want me to practice for you?" Jiang Yuanhan showed his arms and planned to draw the sword at his waist.
Wen Qingzhu quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, no, you look good, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
After a pause, she asked strangely: "Didn't you call me sister before? Why did you suddenly call me sister Qingqing? I almost thought it was Fu Lie calling me just now."
"Isn't this just to show my maturity? If you're not used to it, then I'll call you sister!" Jiang Yuanhan immediately laughed.
"Okay, okay, looking at how dusty you are, those ministers must have heard that you are back. You go take a shower first and come out after you have rested. I will prepare something delicious for you!"
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu finally felt relieved.
Hearing what she said, Jiang Yuanhan's eyes lit up: "Sister Qingqing did it herself?"
"Of course!" Wen Qingzhu nodded and gave a few more instructions before leaving Qianyuan Palace.
As soon as she left, Jiang Yuanhan took two steps back, covered his heart and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The eldest grandson Linlang who was arriving at the door was so shocked when she saw him like this that she dropped the tray in her hand, smashed the tea cup and splashed the tea.
Wu Mian helped Jiang Yuanhan sit down and at the same time ordered her: "Go to the medicine box immediately!"
"Yes!" The eldest grandson Linlang turned around and left.
Before he could move, Jiang Yuanhan panted from behind and added: "Mr. Gan's life is in your hands! But you must know what not to say."
Changsun Linlang's back stiffened, she nodded, and then left quickly.
In the imperial dining room, Wen Qingzhu made four dishes and one soup.
It was already half an hour after everything was done. She asked Lu Tao at the door: "Is everything done at the Emperor's side?"
"Not yet. I said I traveled all night in order to get back on time. I was too tired and fell asleep while taking a shower."
Wen Qingzhu turned back to look at the food in front of him and ordered the palace servants to put it away to keep it warm.
She walked to the door: "He's not ready yet. I'm afraid Pei Yu is already here."
When they arrived at Qianyuan Palace, Wen Qingzhu met Pei Yu at the gate of the palace.
The two of them greeted each other with a smile on their faces, and then went in together.
Arriving at the door of the main hall, Wen Qingzhu accidentally glanced and found that there were wet tea stains on the door frame.
