After finishing this short but affectionate nap, Lu You walked towards Huiqing Palace in a daze.

In the secret room deep in the palace, he took off the fancy clothes that did not belong to him, turned back into that humble little eunuch, and then returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Today, Qi Yunchu entrusted him with nothing to do, and no one dared to order him casually.Lu You went back to the courtyard where Jackdaw fell, fastened the courtyard door and the room door, closed the windows, and quickly hid in the room.

He walked to the bed, stretched out his hand to untie the knot in his trousers, pulled off his belt, and took off his lower garment.

There is one thing that has been weighing heavily on his heart since just now, and he can't let it go-in the secret room, when Tang Ruilang tried to touch him, why did his wound that should have healed a long time ago suddenly hurt sharply stand up.

Could it be that Lu Ying'er's technique had sequelae?

What if this pain continues to expand?

……

Lu You stopped his wild thoughts and decided to confirm again.

He took off his lower clothes, sat on the bed, and stepped on the edge of the bed with his right foot.Then, maintaining this somewhat shameful posture, he poked his fingers towards the place where the pain came from just now.

No, this is not the place where Lu Yinger touched her hands and feet, and she doesn't feel any discomfort when she touches it now.Of course, it wasn't because Tang Ruilang was too aggressive...

what happened?

Lu You unconsciously fell into deep thought.

"Yo, what's the matter with you kid, have you grown up?"

Suddenly, a woman's playful voice came from the screen.

Without raising his head, Lu You could guess the owner of the voice.Although Li Honghe had almost been excluded from being a woman in a pure sense, at this moment, Lu You still blushed in embarrassment, and quickly pulled down the bed curtain to block herself.

"Hey, let's be serious. What's wrong with you? Could it be that you got hurt again?"

Li Honghe walked towards him carelessly.

"Don't be shy, show me quickly!"

Lu You agreed there, and hurriedly packed up his clothes in the tent, and then came out to meet people.

"Hu Ji has already left the palace this morning, everything is going well, everything is safe."

Li Hongzhu took the initiative to update him on today's latest situation: "By the way, do you know? In fact, she already has a child in her belly."

"Pregnant?"

Lu You was a little surprised for a moment, but immediately felt something was wrong.

"Her child is also the heir of the crown prince, the grandson of the emperor... They are all pregnant with the blood of the clan, how could they still be thrown into the cold palace?"

"No, the old emperor didn't know about it."

Li Honghe turned around and sat at the table beside her, playing with the small teacup.

"It is said that only Hu Ji, the prince, and their trusted imperial doctor know about the pregnancy. Including you and me, there are only five people."

"I still don't quite understand. Why do you have to try to hide it if you can tell the truth?"

"A mother is more expensive than a child? Just talk."

Li Hongqu sneered.

"If the mother is not welcome, how can there be a chance to give birth to a noble son? Not to mention that Daning has come to despise the barbarians of foreign races, how can it be possible to sit back and watch the son of a female slave from a foreign race succeed in the future?"

This also seems to be the case.

Lu You nodded thoughtfully, and muttered to himself: "Last night, when Hu Ji saw the box of wine and vegetables, she knew it wasn't from the crown prince. I'm afraid it was because the crown prince knew she was pregnant that he wouldn't let her go. drink."

"Yes or no, it doesn't matter now. The important thing is that now she and the child in her womb are free. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the sea is wide enough for birds to fly. From now on, I will be happy and carefree!"

Saying that, Li Honghe took out a gourd from his waist to drink again.

These words were light and easy, but Lu You understood that the development of the matter might not be like this - how should a woman who was raised in the deep palace of Yeting and knew nothing about the world deal with the strange world beyond the palace walls?

Lu You didn't let himself think too much, so he changed the subject: "Who is it that sent the poisoned wine yesterday?"

"I don't know, but it's not hard to guess. Now that the man's body has fallen into Qi Yunchu's hands, he will naturally make good use of it to restrain those people with ulterior motives... Then again, you kid is lucky That's right, there are people covering her wherever she goes. Now that Hu Ji's matter, there should be no one to track her down."

"I hope so."

Lu You nodded, and subconsciously scratched his neck again.

Li Honghe glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Oh, why are the mosquitoes in this jackdaw's nest so poisonous! Look, half of your neck is red from being bitten."

Lu You froze for a moment, then moved closer to the mirror, only to realize that Tang Ruilang, the debt collector, had played tricks again, branding several heavy hickeys on the base of his neck.

He quickly pulled up his collar, blushing for a moment and dared not raise his head again.

"Come on. It's not that I don't know about your crap."

Li Hongqu looked at him carelessly: "I think the boy surnamed Tang is pretty good, he can get out of the mud without being stained. If he is 50 or [-] years younger as a teacher, he should snatch him from you!"

"What a nice-"

Lu You hastily raised his head and denied it: "If you like it, I'll send you off."

"Send it to me? A dignified noble son, is it in your pocket?"

Li Honghe smiled narrowly: "As a human being, the most important thing is to be honest. Sometimes you should be more straightforward, don't just learn from that Qi family boy in everything. If he could be more frank at the beginning, he wouldn't have to spend all day bitterly and bitterly alone." Stay vacant."

When did Qi Yunchu's bitterness and hatred end?

Lu You knew that he couldn't talk to her, so he suddenly brought up another matter after thinking about it.

"By the way, Master, I remember you promised me something last night, right?"

"Yes."

Li Honghe didn't try to evade: "What do you think I'm here for? Sit upright and listen to me."

Lu You didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly moved a stool and sat down beside her.

Li Honghe took another sip of wine, then turned her eyes to the southwest.

"You guessed pretty well before, I did run out of Tianwu Palace. But that was decades ago...Me, and that old Shanggong you met yesterday .We are sisters, and we entered the school in the same year. I was six years old and she was five years old. We studied arts together for five years. Then she went to the Department of Medicine and Stone, and I went to the Department of Rewards and Punishments..."

Speaking of this, she asked Lu You back: "You should know something about the Tianwu Palace."

"In the past few days, I have indeed heard some." Lu You nodded, "The Tianwu Palace is built on the mountain, and the Medicine and Stone Division is located in the Fragrant Grass Valley on the mountainside. The disciples study Qihuang medicine; , reward the good and punish the evil."

Li Honghe nodded: "Tianwu Palace believes that it is ordered by the sky, so the seats in the palace are ranked according to the stars in the sky. The head of the Medicine and Stone Department is Tianliang, and the head of the Rewards and Punishment Department is Po Jun... Well, it’s been a long time since anyone called me that.”

"Master, are you the Army Breaker of Tianwu Palace?!"

Surprised, Lu You quickly thought of drawing inferences: "So, that old Shang Gong is Tian Liang Xing of Yaoshi Division?"

"That's right. But those are the names we two had before we defected from the sect. Today's Tianliang and Pojun have already been replaced."

Li Hongqu told the surprising facts in a calm tone.

"Your master, I am a traitor of Tianwu Palace, so I don't think Tianwu Palace will recognize you as a disciple in the future. I'm really sorry."

Of course, Lu You would not care about such trivial matters. In contrast, he obviously wanted to know what kind of thrilling past happened to Li Hongqu and Lao Shanggong sisters.

Although he promised Lu You to tell everything in detail, Li Honghe obviously had reservations.

She only told Lu You that about 20 years ago, in order to avoid a sinister conspiracy, she and her junior sister had to hide their names and leave their homes.

Lu You guessed that the truth might be more complicated than what Li Honghe had narrated, but he didn't continue to ask.

Somehow, he knew that one day he would go to Tianwu Palace in person.

The incident in Ye Ting Prison fell silent along with Hu Ji's disappearance.

Lu You could clearly feel that no one really wanted to find out about Hu Ji's whereabouts.It seems that letting this unlucky woman disappear completely is the best ending.

There was only one person who didn't think so—Prince Zhao Yun didn't go to court for several days after Hu Ji disappeared.Emperor Huiming was angry and disappointed, and sent eunuchs to the East Palace to fetch people, but what he saw was a mess like ruins.

How the conflict between the royal father and son ended, Lu You had no way of knowing, but he saw with his own eyes the fragments of some treasures that had been cleared out of the East Palace.Several young eunuchs who worked in Prince Neifang were also beaten and carried back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

But Zhao Yun has never disclosed the secret of Hu Ji's pregnancy, obviously he does not believe that the child can bring Hu Ji any good luck.

Therefore, the child who might have even become the next prince of the Daning Dynasty embarked on a completely different life path.Or maybe it wouldn't be born into this cruel world at all—for him, that might not be a bad thing.

Although Lu You sighed a little, it was something beyond his field of vision after all.However, he never expected that another child of noble blood in the Zhao family clan was slowly walking towards him step by step.
