I came from heaven [traveling]

We galloped wildly all the way out of the palace gate, and when we arrived at the construction site, the fire had been extinguished, but the black smoke hadn’t cleared up. At the beginning, all the locomotives that everyone rushed to repair were now a pile of charcoal ashes, beaten The injured Zijiang and the people who participated in the river regulation were put aside and waited for the doctor to come to treat him.

"Who did it?"

I looked at the messy place and asked, but no one answered, so I yelled again: "Who are those people who smashed?"

Soon, the guards of the imperial city also rushed over, and the leader was Qu Chunzhi. The crowd was mighty, and the whole scene seemed chaotic!Seeing that I was so angry that Qu Chunzhi was almost furious, he hurriedly jumped off the horse to find out: "Master Hou! What's going on..."

"Come here! Find out for me... Where did the people who came to make trouble come from?!"

"Master Ji... calm down..."

Qu Chunzhi held my arm and looked at the burnt unrecognizable construction site. He frowned and remained silent... I looked at the injured people and ordered from the side: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and put the wounded send them to treatment!"

"This matter is serious, I have to go back and report it immediately!"

Qu Chunzhi turned back and prepared to mount his horse again, I looked at him in despair: "Bogong Zhong... must have been arranged by him..."

Seeing me whispering, Qu Chunzhi hastily stretched out his hand to cover my mouth, leaned close to his head and said: "The matter is not yet conclusive, Lord Hou, don't talk nonsense..."

I waved Qu Chunzhi's hand away, and said through gritted teeth: "He asked me specifically about the progress of the river treatment in the conference hall today, and emphasized the construction period... It is obvious that he did it!"

"There is no evidence at the moment, Lord Marquis, don't get angry. I will go back to the palace and report this matter to Her Royal Highness, and she will preside over it for you! If you are worried, you can go with me!"

I calmed down and watched Zhihe come to an end. Such a drama was undoubtedly intended to put me in trouble and put me to death.I looked at the guards, and immediately ordered: "Listen, everyone, first settle the wounded, and then clean up the scene. If you find anything suspicious, immediately hand it over to the lieutenant general. Anyone who submits clues will be rewarded!"

...

After entering the palace, we went straight to Tantaiqin's bedroom, ran into the yard to search around but couldn't see her, happened to meet Xi'er, asked a few words, and learned that she had gone to the palace, and went to the palace non-stop. The palace hurried over, and as soon as they entered the gate, they found that the atmosphere was not right.

When Qu Chunzhi and I saw the people in the courtyard clearly while panting heavily, we hurriedly greeted each other: "Minister, Ji Sijie is meeting the empress."

"Sir, Qu Chunzhi sees the Empress."

"It's all free."

The queen was sitting in a special recliner, and the maid behind her followed a lot, and she didn't know what she was here for.Tantai Qin who was accompanying her was wearing Yunhe's official uniform, which had not been taken off in the future. It seemed that she came here directly after leaving the meeting hall.On the other side, Tantai Yang sat upright, it seemed that because of the queen's existence, he was much more at ease.

On the other hand, Xiao'er stood neatly beside the queen, with one hand being held by the queen, she looked very close, but her little face was extremely nervous.The person standing on the far side is Nangong Muchun, she is holding several stacks of books in her hands, she should come to accompany Xiao'er to study her homework.

"The weather is good today, and I'm in a good mood, so I'll come over to see the Tenth Prince when I have nothing to do."

The queen squeezed her throat and said slowly, my heart was in my throat, but there was still a smile on my face: "I have been in the palace for a long time, but I haven't greeted the empress, Esprit made a mistake, please forgive me. "

"That's all, Lord Ji's heart is in the imperial court. It's understandable. I saw that the Nangong priest came to teach the prince himself. It must be that Lord Hou has put in so much effort. It's a good thing."

"His Majesty entrusted the prince to me, and Sijie will do his best to counsel him. This is all part of his job. The queen's mother respects the world with benevolence and benevolence. She is so understanding. Sijie's lack of etiquette is really ashamed."

"Okay, there is no need to be polite. Today, I specially asked someone to make some pastries. Since the second and fourth princesses are here, and Lord Hou is here, why don't you sit down and have a taste, drink tea, and chat with me , pastime."

I'm so anxious to die, what a fart I'm talking to you!I leaned forward and bowed back to decline: "My empress, there is something wrong with the Chuanggong Pavilion. I am coming back now to discuss with the second princess. Please allow me to talk to the princess for a while."

The queen raised her eyebrows and looked at me fixedly. Seeing my anxious face, she raised her hand and waved it. Tantaiyang hurriedly picked up hot tea and changed the topic: "This high-quality Longjing tea is the most mellow, and it is paired with the queen's tea. The refreshments brought by your empress must taste good, please have some tea, your empress."

While the queen was receiving the tea, Tantaiyang turned his head and winked at me, telling us to leave quickly, I glanced at Tantaiqin and walked quickly towards the door.After walking out the door, Tantai Qin looked at me coldly with airs on his face: "What happened to Chuanggong Pavilion?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the river harnessing construction site was rioted by gangsters, the locomotive was burned, and the craftsman and the people who started the construction were also beaten. The scene was very bad."

Qu Chunzhi answered truthfully, Tantaiqin's face was still calm, as if all this was nothing serious: "Such matters should be dealt with with your guards and ministers. What's the use of asking me?" ?”

Tantaiqin's attitude made me feel unbelievable. I thought she would be eager to help, at least as a country supervisor, she should order a strict investigation of this matter, but the effect was like this, and I was already itchy with anger: "I've always taken two steps and looked at four steps, taking precautions and taking care of the future. After calculation, I still take it lightly. After you left the hall, Mr. Zhong Bogong specifically mentioned the construction period, and when he turned around, something happened at the construction site."

"You mean, this is Zhong Bogong's people making trouble? Is there any basis?"

"Don't you still believe me?"

My sudden roar made Tantai Qin startled, Qu Chunzhi hastily blocked me: "Master Hou, please take into account the differences between monarch and minister!"

I pushed him away with all my strength, and rushed in front of Tantai Qin with a single stride. I could feel the blood boiling all over my body, rushing straight to my brain, because my hands were already numb: "Now the locomotive is burned. , the person who started the construction was beaten, and the construction period is approaching. It wasn't that Uncle Zhong who made a hindrance, who else? I feel strange, why the person who stopped Zunhuang not to control the river from the beginning suddenly disappeared about this matter Well, it turns out that there is someone behind! What I want is for you to help me, not to add insult to injury!"

Tantaiqin glanced sideways at Qu Chunzhi, and said in an extremely cold tone: "Go to Zheng Sige and report today's incident, and let their people go to the construction site. You and the guards will guard it. There must be nothing wrong. Ji Sijie, Come with me to the bedroom."

With orders, Qu Chunzhi hurriedly left us.I looked at his back in a daze, until Tantai Qin urged me impatiently to bring my thoughts back: "What are you still doing?"

Putting my gaze back on Tantai Qin, I suddenly realized that my behavior was very rude, so I hesitated to speak, and finally sighed and followed her steps towards the bedroom, across the courtyard and directly to the main room , I saw Tantai Qin push the door open and immediately turned around and stared at me angrily:

"Ji Sijie, when will you learn to restrain your emotions? Don't forget, I haven't forgiven you for making troubles in the Princess Mansion! Any officials in this palace, big or small, are not respectful when they see me. Just because you have no sense of proportion! Don’t rely on me being able to tolerate it, you can make progress. Do you know that your bad attitude is seen by others, and if it spreads out, I won’t punish you. Naturally, someone will Find your fault!"

I looked at Tantaiqin in amazement, her anger fell to the end because she was worried that my rudeness would bring about punishment, which was beyond my expectation.Tantaiqin's cheeks flushed because of anger, and the speed of her speech became faster with the anger. I swallowed my saliva and lowered my head: "Just now...Esprit was too impatient and didn't mean to offend...I'm sorry..."

"Do you know what's wrong?"

"I know it's wrong."

I held my mouth and admitted my mistake weakly, like a primary school student being criticized by the class teacher, his head was about to fall to the ground, Tantaiqin suddenly reached out to support my chin and lifted it up: "Raise your head up .”

Oh my god, this action is so sultry!At least, I was teased by her, and my heart was beating violently. This is not a good time to flirt, ah! My princess, I will blush.Tantaiqin was amused by my expression, and the corner of his mouth melted into a faint smile: "Okay, your concentration is too weak, and you are not calm enough to face the problem. Since the matter has already happened, it is useless to be anxious, you should go with me Think long-term. How serious is the locomotive being burned?"

"I finally understand. At the beginning, Zhong Bogong and others proposed to reduce the number of soldiers to lay the groundwork for today's events. At the beginning, there were few manpower to allocate soldiers, let alone the protection of the guards. The destruction of the construction site was a breeze. One set The locomotives can cover the manpower of dozens of people, and now there is no one left, and to make matters worse, even the few people who were already there were beaten, which is a disaster."

Tantaiqin frowned slightly, and thought for a while before asking: "So, how long will it take to make a locomotive at the earliest?"

I looked at her suspiciously, a little confused about which way this woman's brain circuit was going: "According to the current situation where there are not enough craftsmen, it will take at least three or four days for everyone to work together to make one. After all, we still have to prepare." Material."

"Do you have the blueprint?"

"Do you want me to build locomotives again? No, it's too late, and I can't waste time on this matter."

"If you think it's wrong, you can only rely on manpower to solve it, but do you think that according to the current situation, the eldest prince and Zhong Bogong will assign soldiers to you?"

What Tantaiqin said is not without reason, the current dilemma is exactly what Uncle Zhong wants to see, and at this time it is more difficult to propose to assign soldiers to me.
