The assassination in the dungeon the night before was over because both of them committed suicide by taking poison. Xie Xuan continued to look for clues on the high priest, but after that incident, Xie Xuan never dared to leave Li Zhiyuan alone again. up.I can't wait to make him smaller, so I find a thread to string it up and hang it on my body every day.After discussing with him, the two finally decided that before the dust settled, Li Zhiyuan would disguise himself as an envoy to "pour tea and water" by Xie Xuan's side.

As soon as the news that the queen's birthday banquet was going to be celebrated by the whole country was released, the central Beijing market became more lively, and many small stalls that could only be seen during the Chinese New Year were put up again, and the post stations at various city gates in Kyoto were also used for the festival. Porridge, in this way, everyone will say that the queen is good.Different from ordinary people, the famous families and dignitaries in Beijing have been very busy these days.It is less than ten days before the queen's birthday, the emperor announced to the world this time that there will be a big banquet for the guests.It is a great honor to be able to enter the palace and eat a royal banquet, but what gift to offer becomes the biggest problem.

Li Zhiyuan has been following Xie Xuan obediently for the past few days. When Xie Xuan got up early, he dozed off in the car. When Xie Xuan read the file, he would serve tea or put two snacks in front of Xie Xuan. He followed the case to take notes.In short, he was already with his husband before he got married, even Xie Xuan felt that he was not good enough, so he secretly searched for a day, ended his work in Dali Temple as soon as possible, and took Li Zhiyuan to go shopping in the market after work.

Li Zhiyuan thought that Xie Xuan was busy these days, and he never expected that this person would take him to the street market. When Xie Xuan asked him to park in the busiest place, he looked at Xie Xuan with a face full of surprise and said, "You have something to buy?"

Xie Xuan got out of the car with a smile, caring about the people coming and going on the street, he just patted his head and said: "The puppy at home has no dog food, and there is no new clothes to wear in the spring, so I bought some to make up for it while it was busy."

Li Zhiyuan heard that he was talking about himself, and opened his mouth to bite Xie Xuan, but was confused by the laughter.The two were walking on the street, crowded with people, although they were not holding hands, the distance was very close, Xie Xuan almost didn't dare to move a little away from Li Zhiyuan, and kept walking close to his arms, when Li Zhiyuan stopped, he would stop.

"Look, Xie Xuan, that's not the two adults from the Ministry of Household Affairs. What are they doing here? These days are too busy." Li Zhiyuan raised his head and signaled Xie Xuan to look in the direction he was looking. "The things here are not cheap. Last time I went to see Zhilanghao, did you know that it cost a whole 50 taels of silver, which is said to have been used by a calligraphy master surnamed Wang. According to me, it is simply a scam, and the natural characters are ugly and not good. With more practice, you can write with a pen that someone else has used?"

Xie Xuan followed Li Zhiyuan to look over, and sure enough, he saw two people coming out of the "Ancient Square", one of them was holding a box on his body, judging the texture and size of the box, he knew that the things inside would not be cheap. "It's a lot of trouble. The emperor is not in Beijing these few days. It's normal for them to be free. Besides, the queen's birthday is about to come. The two adults are probably preparing gifts for the queen. It is reasonable to buy them in the ancient workshop."

"The queen's birthday, can you go?" Li Zhiyuan looked at Xie Xuan, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"I won't go. The grade is not enough, and the humble cannot enter the imperial city."

"Oh."

"There will be a chance in the future, and I will take you with me."

"it is good."

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, since the high priest was sent to Dali Temple, he took the medicine prepared by the queen, and woke up several times, but he couldn't ask why, and sometimes he even stopped after hearing a few words. will pass out.Xie Xuan was worried, so he asked Li Yong to borrow two imperial physicians from the palace to come over for diagnosis and treatment. The imperial physicians meant that the high priest's poison had already entered the heart and lungs. He saved his life but hurt the root. Whether he can be fully awake can only depend on his own luck.Xie Xuan still didn't give up, and wrote another secret letter, which was sent to the palace and handed over to Jing Wenhao. After Jing Wenhao asked Li Xi, he also answered him in the same way, so he had no choice but to let go of this clue.

It was a few more days, the Queen's birthday was very lively in Beijing.Workers in Beijing moved quickly, and despite the tight schedule, they hung red lanterns on the ten main streets of Kyoto in the first two days.This morning, Jing Wenhao took Li Xi back to the palace, Li Xi saw all this along the road and was still asking him, what kind of big day is it today, how could there be such a lively scene only during Chinese New Year.Jing Wenhao didn't have Li Xi in tonight's arrangement, so he used a pretense to trick him, and asked Li Yong to bring the two wives of Li's family into the palace to accompany Li Xi, so he took the opportunity to do something.

That afternoon, Xie Xuan had a rare escape from working in Dali Temple, and took Li Zhiyuan to line up on the street to buy his favorite snacks and returned to Xie's mansion.Li Zhiyuan felt that Xie Xuan was strange, not just skipping work, but Xie Xuan's whole behavior, as if he was hiding something from him, but he couldn't tell why.This matter was always kept in his mind, until shortly after the meal, Xie Xuan took Li Zhiyuan to take a bath together, and then he behaved like this and that while washing, Li Zhiyuan no longer had time to think about Xie Xuan's strangeness. .

Afterwards, Xie Xuan washed Li Zhiyuan clean, rolled it up with a thick cotton cloth and threw it on the bed.Li Zhiyuan was too tired to move his toes, so Xie Xuan helped him dry his body and put on a clean underwear, then hugged him and gently scratched his back where the shoulder blades were, so that he would fall asleep easily. .Sure enough, under the multiple attacks, Li Zhiyuan fell into a deep sleep before the third quarter of the You hour.

At the time of Xu, the big bell in the Jingju Temple in the city rang once. This was the evening bell of the Jingju Temple. This sound came at the next watch, and the people in the city all rested at this time.At this time, Xie Xuan carefully pulled his arm out from Li Zhiyuan's back, got up and tucked the quilt for him, and then recruited a small envoy to help him put on his official uniform and tie his hair.

"Go and tell the people in the courtyard to close the front and rear courtyard doors tightly. No matter what noises outside later, no matter who knocks on the door, the courtyard door is not allowed to be opened before three quarters of the day. By the way, let the groom get ready, Tell him to bring the horse over at three o'clock." Xie Xuan ordered in a low voice to the people around him.

The envoy finished his work and took orders.Everything is ready, all he needs to do at this time is wait.

In order to let Li Zhiyuan have a good night's sleep, the room was scented with sandalwood to help him sleep. Xie Xuan stood in his courtyard, and after a while, it started to fog up.The man below had sharp eyes, took Xie Xuan's cloak from the room, and took a warm woman. Although he didn't know what Xie Xuan was waiting for, he still advised him to warm a pot of wine and sit and wait.But Xie Xuan just shook his head, still looking forward to it.

The street became chaotic at the second quarter of Xu time, with the noise outside, the servants immediately thought of Xie Xuan's previous instructions.It didn't take long before I heard the sound of footsteps coming and going outside, the sound of horseshoes, and the roar of men, mixed with a few knocks on the door.The servant looked at Xie Xuan by the dim light from the lantern in the mansion, his face was expressionless, as if he didn't hear anything.In less than half an hour, the screaming outside gradually weakened, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only the more and more intense and neat sound of horseshoes. Hearing this, Xie Xuan's tense face finally loosened, and the corners of his mouth Slightly relaxed, he knew that things were going as they had imagined, and it was about to happen, at least outside the palace.Xie Xuan was a little nervous, and when he was nervous, he was a little excited, and even had tears in his eyes.

By [-]:[-] pm, there was almost no sound outside, and this night seemed to be the same as before.According to Xie Xuan's instructions, the groom accurately led the carriage out of the backyard at this time, and asked Xie Xuan to get on the carriage.
