After Ah Yuan finished speaking, he made a salute and went back.

Yu Lanxi was the only one in the hall. She picked up the letter, looked at the sealing wax on it, and stood there for a long time.Feeling vacillating, he remembered the word "Zhen Guogong Mansion" again, and frowned for a while.

------------------------------------

"Ma'am, I can only send you here. I've been away for too long. I'm afraid that someone will become suspicious." A Yuan said, and put down the curtain of the carriage for Lan Xie. When he turned to leave, Lan Xie suddenly heard a low voice. He said: "A Yuan, thank you."

Ah Yuan stood on one side, seeing the carriage galloping away quickly, getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared.A Yuan lowered his head, sighed deeply, and murmured: "Is it really right for me to do this?"

A Yuan, who always loves to laugh, at this moment, for the first time, a sad look appeared on his face.

--------------------------------------

After resting in Shuocheng for two days, I planned to continue my journey.Ah Jing was very careful about this trip, fearing that there would be any accidents again, she suggested to me: "Your Majesty, or else we will go in a different way. No matter how you think about it, this assassination was caused by someone deliberately leaking His Majesty's whereabouts." , the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, it is better to be careful."

I nodded, "Then hang out with the caravan and go with them. After arriving in Mocheng, contact General Chu first."

I mixed with Ah Jing in the caravan and headed north all the way. After three days, we arrived in Mocheng.

After secretly contacting Chu Qiao, in order to prevent the people in the Yasukuni Mansion from finding out, I made an appointment to meet at the teahouse.

Putting on the robe of a servant in the teahouse, I took a tray full of a large pot of tea and walked slowly up to the second floor.Looking up at the Tianzifang written with "Lanyue Pavilion", I bent my index finger and knocked on the door a few times, and a warm and clear voice sounded from the door: "Please come in." The voice first hit my ears, A warm current surged up in my heart, and I almost couldn't hold the tea tray, so I straightened my expression and pushed the door open.

A dark blue figure stood by the window with a focused expression, as if looking at something.I walked to the table, put down the teacup, and then stood there quietly, watching his figure motionless.

Xu Shi noticed me, and Chu Qiao's voice sounded again, "Thank you, you can go out." He never looked back, his dark blue figure was tall and straight, with clear outlines.

"Chu Qiao, it's me."

"Your Majesty?" He turned around in surprise, stepped forward a few steps, and was about to fall to his knees. I hurriedly supported him.

Chu Qiao took a look at me, and after being surprised, she became resentful: "I have made His Majesty suffer, I never imagined that Lord Zhen would do such a bold thing as killing the king."

"How's the situation here?" I asked eagerly.

Chu Qiao shook her head, "After reading the letter His Majesty gave him, Duke Zhen arranged me in the camp. He was the deputy commander in name, but he had no real power at all. He asked me to temporarily live in a different camp. In the courtyard, many people were sent here, saying that it was to protect me, but anyone could tell that this was clearly house arrest! Fortunately, I left all my confidantes outside before stepping into the Zhen Guogong's mansion. Otherwise , I am really going to be reduced to a fish in a dry trough. I have been to the camp several times, and tested several generals on the sidelines. As expected, without exception, I only know the Duke of Zhen and not His Majesty."

I rubbed my forehead, and said with a heavy tone, "I originally planned to come here to have a good talk with Lord Zhen Guo, because I had to speak about this matter in person. I didn't expect that his roots would be so deep in a few years." Deep, it was beyond my expectation."

"Your Majesty, in the current situation, I'm afraid it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Before Lord Zhen Guo knows that you escaped from the assassination, it's better to leave quickly."

"Although it is very dangerous, but this time I have to talk to Lord Zhen Guo in person. If I go back directly, I am afraid that all previous efforts will be wasted." I frowned, "No matter what, I have to meet."

Chu Qiao thought for a moment, and then asked: "I asked His Majesty the purpose of this trip, and His Majesty only said that I will know when the time comes. After I came here, I still couldn't figure it out. I don't know when His Majesty said the time." mean what?"

"Start with Qi State!" My eyes are bright.

Chu Qiao was startled suddenly, the tea in the cup splashed out and spilled on his dark blue robe, but he didn't care much, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, you want to..."

"That's right, if Lord Zhen Guo died in this battle, then I would have enough reasons to send troops to Qi State. Presumably, the soldiers and horses in Beimo will be more brave in order to avenge their commander! It's just this matter , we must cooperate with Lord Zhen Guo to defeat this battle with the least loss of troops." I raised the teapot high and poured tea into the cup.

"What bargaining chip does Your Majesty have to confirm the Zhen Guo Guild's consent? What if the Zhen Guo Gong is angry and strikes at His Majesty again?" Chu Qiao's eyes flashed with worry.

I squinted my eyes, and a smile appeared on my lips: "I have a bargaining chip that Duke Zhen can't refuse, and he will definitely agree. Chu Qiao, there is a way. At noon the next day, I will bring the Zhen Guo Pact to you." This teahouse?"

"I will try my best, but your majesty must be fully prepared. I don't know why your majesty is so confident, but just in case, I will arrange some people here. If the negotiation fails, I will immediately escort your majesty back to Beijing."

"That's it, thank you for your hard work. By the way, is there anything about that portrait?"

"The woman in the portrait is the daughter of a counselor under Duke Zhen Guogong. His Majesty cut off the king's party feathers in the court, which just happened to implicate the counselor. His Majesty sentenced the counselor's family to exile. I don't know why. However, his youngest daughter was adopted by Duke Zhen. The girl was about the same size as Princess Xianning, the younger sister of Duke Zhen. After they lived together, they often stayed together. Later, there was a rumor in the court that His Majesty wanted to accept a concubine, so Duke Zhen wanted to send the girl into the palace. As a result, Princess Xianning took the girl and ran away secretly in the middle of the night. Duke Zhen was furious and sent People looked around, but there was no trace of them, and the two of them seemed to have disappeared from the world, and they were never found again."

I suddenly realized that this is the case. No wonder Nuoer called her aunt. If so, isn’t Qingrou Princess Xianning, my younger sister? If the two escaped from the Zhen Guogong’s mansion, then they happened to meet me, whether it was by accident or on purpose ? Qingrou's death, was it a coincidence or a design? Did Lanxi really have nowhere to go when she entered the palace, or did she have a plan from the beginning?

I entrusted Ayuan with the route map of this trip and handed it over to Lanxie. As expected, I was assassinated halfway. I originally thought that Lanxie had hatred in his heart. I always thought that Qingrou was killed by me, so I did this. Although I It's very sad, but I can understand one or two.I made a bet with myself, but I lost the bet. Lan Xie never believed me.But now it seems that everything has deviated from the original imagination.It seems that things are far from that simple.

My thoughts were still pulled back by Chu Qiao's "Your Majesty?" When I came back to my senses, I looked at Chu Qiao and made a final struggle: "Princess Xianning, what is her boudoir name?" For this sister, I Really know nothing.

Chu Qiao tightened her clothes and said, "According to the report from the inquirer, it seems to be called 'Qingrou'."

Indeed!

"Your Majesty, I dare to guess, that woman is Mrs. Ai, right? I heard that when I was in the Duke's Mansion, the young prince liked her very much." Chu Qiao said while changing the cold tea in my cup, holding her Holding the teacup, I nodded as I watched wisps of steam rising from the scalding tea.

"Your Majesty, no matter how much you like her, you have to make a decision as soon as possible. What's more, Duke Zhen is involved this time. If you are not careful, the consequences will be disastrous." Chu Qiao advised.

"As for this matter, I will carefully consider it. You have been out for a long time, so go back quickly, lest they get suspicious."
