The moonlight on the corridor is as bright as the day, and the taste of parting is stronger than that of wine.This feeling is not as good as the east wall willow, and the spring is as old every year.

Before his whereabouts were exposed, Lu You left the Qin family compound along the same road.He returned to the inn by stepping on the broken moonlight. After entering the door, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly kicked over a chair.

There was a poisonous fire smoldering in his chest.

The dislike for the uncle's family did not decrease because of the elder sister's comfort. At the same time, a deep sense of self-blame and disappointment began to sprout in Lu You's chest.

Night Breeze on the way back to the inn helped Lu You calm down somewhat.

He had to admit that sister Yueshan's words were not unreasonable - even if she left the Qin family now, she was no longer the official lady who had no worries about food and clothing.Like countless women from poor families, she also needs to mend and embroider for food and clothing. Even if she is bullied and wronged, she will no longer receive help and comfort from her parents.

Even if I can win her "asylum" from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who can see through, what kind of deep calculations are hidden under Qi Yunchu's calm and beautiful face?

Yes, it is definitely a dangerous decision to bring sister Yueshan back to the capital.That will only make her fall into the quagmire of conspiracy and use, unable to extricate herself.

The only blame is that I didn't establish a solid foundation in the capital and couldn't give my sister enough protection.Comparing this way, perhaps they are still staying in the Qin Mansion in Liuquan City...

Lu You let out a heavy sigh again, but gradually found peace in his heart in helplessness.

At the same time, another strange longing quietly sprouted in his young heart for the first time.

After a night of tossing and turning, the dawn finally dawned.

The vacation given by Qi Yunchu was less than two days, but Lu You did not leave for Beijing.

After breakfast, he closed the door, put on the human skin mask again, and changed into the clothes of the Ministry of the Interior, quietly left the inn, and walked all the way to the north of Liuquan City.

The Royal Palace of Liuquan in Daning is just north of this small town.Surrounded by water on three sides, with mountains on one side and surrounded by willow shades, compared with the grand and majestic Zichen Palace, it is less lofty, but more elegant and quiet.

This was the first time Lu You came to Liuquan Palace, but he acted calmly.When he was outside the palace gate, he took out his waist card, and even lied that he was the special envoy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked to enter to check the status of the eunuchs who left the palace.

The official token of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also has a corresponding deed in the Li Palace.After careful checking, the guard was convinced of his identity and let him go with a wave.

The scale of Liuquan Palace is naturally far smaller than that of the Imperial Palace in the capital, but its general shape and scale are not much different.Lu You walked west along the southern palace wall, and after a hundred and eighty steps, he found the courtyard where the eunuchs lived.

Although Liuquan Palace is small, it is quiet and elegant, and it is closer to Yaowangyuan, so many members of the clan were allowed to cultivate here.And every year among the new recruits from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there will always be one or two people who are sent to guard the palace—although they are relatively free to come and go, they live a boring life like an ancient Buddha's blue lamp.

Lu You walked silently, stepped into the courtyard, and quickly found the person he was looking for.

"Lu You...it's you, what wind brought you here?!"

The little eunuch Zhou Zong's eyes widened, looking at this "uninvited guest" who entered the palace at the same time as him and had a little friendship with him.

Lu You took out the badge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and used the words that he had lied to the guards to bluff him.Zhou Zong seemed to be convinced, he hurriedly put down what he was going to do, and wanted to call others back, but was grabbed by Lu You.

"Actually, I came here this time for a very special thing."

In order to make Zhou Zong believe in his words more, Lu You deliberately pulled him to a secluded corner: "You are honest and honest. In Liuquan City, the only person I can trust is you."

When he was still in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhou Zong vaguely knew that Lu You was the one whom Duke Changqiu loved.He was naturally flattered that such a famous person came to his door, but on the surface he still looked cautious.

"But I'm just a little handyman looking after Li Palace..."

"That's the way to go."

Lu You caressed Zhou Zong's back gently, which was also what Qi Yunchu often did to him.

"I heard that a group of witch doctors from Xirong came to Liuquan City recently, do you know about this?"

"I know that." Zhou Zong nodded: "Those witch doctors are entrenched in the abandoned temple outside Liuquan City, and they have occupied a few fields, and I don't know what strange things they are planting. I heard that they even stole mass graves. There are dead bodies without owners inside..."

Lu You nodded, and then asked: "Is there any movement from the government?"

Zhou Zong's eyes wandered for a moment, and he suddenly lowered his voice: "I heard that these witch doctors are related to the people of Yaowangyuan. The Yaowangyuan is full of imperial doctors who treat the children of the clan. Who would dare to provoke them?"

"These witch doctors were all recruited from Xirong by people from Yaowangyuan?"

"There is a rare goods merchant named Qin Yizhao who traveled all over the world under the Yaowangyuan. I heard that his horse team brought them back from Xirong."

"Qin Yizhao?" Lu You pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "That's right..."

Then he made up a set of excuses, falsely claiming that the emperor had heard about the relationship between these Xirong witch doctors and Yaowangyuan, and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate secretly.Qiu Gong thinks that the old eunuchs in Liuquanli Palace are not reliable enough, only Zhou Zong, a newcomer, can be considered a good talent.

In his opinion, Zhou Zong had no background and no contacts this time, and was sent to Liuquanli Palace as soon as he was cleansed. He probably felt a little upset in his heart.

Sure enough, when Zhou Zong heard that Qiugong still remembered him, he was immediately flattered.

Seeing his heart fluttering, Lu You took the opportunity to reveal his real intention - he wanted Zhou Zong to keep an eye on the movement of the Qin family, and report to him immediately if there was any feng shui disturbance.

And more importantly, Lu You also told Zhou Zong that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has arranged "hidden stakes" inside the Qin Mansion, and if there is any disturbance in Liuquan City, Zhou Zong must also protect the safety of the hidden stakes.

These requirements did not sound particularly difficult, at least Zhou Zong did not show a confused expression.

What's more, Lu You gave Zhou Zong a large reward.With a heavy silver bag in his pocket, Zhou Zong's eyes glowed, as if he had seen a future that he never dared to dream of...

I have already told you what should be done, before the sun goes down, Lu You still has other things to do.

He bid farewell to Zhou Zong and prepared to leave Liuquan Palace along the original road.Just halfway through, a cool breeze suddenly blew up in the corridor, blowing a fresh scent of chrysanthemum leisurely.

There is a month to enjoy together, and there is no autumn without sorrow.How to say goodbye to you, it's chrysanthemum time again.

Lu You suddenly remembered the hut that was as empty as a snow cave last night, maybe a bouquet of bright flowers could briefly illuminate her sister's sad face.

With a thought, he has already walked five or six steps following the fragrance.

Although it is autumn at this moment, the vegetation in the royal garden is lush, and there is no sign of withering and decay for a while.

Lu You moved away from the bushes and took a few steps, when a few bright golden-red flowers popped out in front of his eyes, a sudden sigh came from his ear.

someone.

Instinctively, he stood still and hid behind a thick locust tree, only to find that there was a pond five or six steps ahead.The north side of the pool is surrounded by a half-circle veranda.

And the man who sighed was sitting in the veranda.

This man actually met Lu You once. Although he was born with a peerless face that was as gorgeous as peaches and plums, it is a pity that his expression at the moment is melancholy and depressed; sick.

...It turned out to be Duan Wang Zhao Qing.

It was only now that Lu You recalled that Zhao Qing was sent to leave the palace to recuperate after the Qingming Festival banquet, so it turned out that she came here.

It seems that his illness is still not improving.What a pity for such a beautiful appearance.

Lu You was sighing, when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the other end of the corridor.After a while, another man came walking.

I saw that this person was tall and straight, with a handsome appearance. Although he was dressed plainly, there was an indescribable aura of nobility in his gestures and gestures.

Zhao Qing raised her head following the sound of footsteps, and the sadness on her face was instantly swept away.

"Yushou." He called the man affectionately, "I miss you so much."

A man named Yushou walked up behind Zhao Qing, held up a strand of long hair that fell on her shoulders, and kissed her lightly against her lips.

"So here I am."

"Don't leave when you come..."

Zhao Qing said anxiously, the beautiful eyes under the long eyelashes met the man's eyes without blinking.

"...It's so quiet here. It's so quiet, it's almost...you can hear my own rotting and stinking voice."

Yuchou didn't respond immediately, his hand slid from Zhao Qing's shoulder to her cheek, gently kneading Zhao Qing's temple.

"Are you missing Ozawa? Without him, this place is indeed deserted."

"...you're talking nonsense!"

Zhao Qing suddenly became excited: "Why do I miss him? Why do I miss him? Who is he to me, who is he to me?!"

The sudden sound echoed in the silent courtyard, and also impacted Lu You's thoughts.

Ozawa...could it be Zhao Qing's son, Zhao Rongze, the grandson of the Emperor of the Daning Dynasty.He is also the son of Tang Ruilang's second sister, Tang Manxiang, who was born with dystocia.

But obviously they are father and son, why did Zhao Qing react like this when Zhao Rongze was mentioned?

Lu You's heart skipped a beat, and his thoughts slipped involuntarily to a dark direction.

"Ji Qing...don't make trouble." The man named Yushou put one hand on the back of Zhao Qing's neck and whispered at the same time, "It's cold here, let's go back to the house."

Strange to say, Zhao Qing, who had blushed cheeks just now and was agitated, suddenly calmed down.He lowered his head docilely, leaned back into Yushou's arms, let the man lift him up easily, then turned around and walked towards the end of the veranda.

Lu You held his breath and waited for a long time before coming out of his hiding place.He had long forgotten about picking flowers, and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
