Although Lu You was curious about the relationship between Zhao Qing and that man named Yushou, she also understood that this was not the most important thing at the moment.

He left Liuquan Li Palace, went to the busiest market in the city, found a bank, exchanged all the flying money paper coupons he carried with him into broken silver and copper coins, and put them into a cloth bag and two wooden boxes respectively.

He took these things back to the inn, and first buried a box in a secluded corner of the back alley.Then go back to the guest room to remove the disguise, wait for the night to fall, and sneak into the Qin Mansion again.

Ye Yueshan had mixed feelings about her younger brother's departure, but Lu You didn't mention the escape to her again.

He gave the cloth bag and wooden box to his sister, and told her to bury the wooden box in a safe and secluded place in the mansion, in case of emergencies, and the money in the cloth bag was used for daily expenses.

"My master has a little friend named Zhou Zong, who works in Liuquanli Palace. I buried a box of silver coins in the back alley of Yunlai Inn. If the Qin family is against you, you can take the silver coins to find him. Him, he will take care of you."

Although Lu You often brought some money along with the letterheads, he always took care of his proportions.At this moment, Ye Yueshan took the bag and weighed it, and was shocked.

"So much money, how can you?"

"Don't think of me as a child who doesn't do much anymore." Lu You smiled wryly, "Does it have to be that I'm poor and hungry so you don't worry about it?"

"Of course I didn't mean that..."

Ye Yueshan frowned because of Lu You's intentional misinterpretation, but she also understood that if she refused these silver taels, it would make Lu You feel uneasy.

After thinking about it again and again, she still accepted the silver taels, but couldn't help telling: "But Zuo Lan, you must always remember that the heights are extremely cold."

"Sister, don't worry, I understand. As long as you are safe, I am not afraid of anything else."

Lu You nodded without thinking, he had already learned to keep his thoughts carefully in his heart.

It's almost time, it's hard to say.The siblings were silent for a while at the same time, and finally Ye Yueshan chuckled.

"Yesterday was your birthday, time was short, and my sister didn't even say a word of blessing. But you are now half an adult, and it's not uncommon for those sisters and younger brothers to be involved. But you must tell me quickly."

Lu You knew that he might not have such a fate in this life, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only nod with a wry smile.

Sister and brother Lianxin, Ye Yueshan couldn't see his reluctance, thought for a while, and asked abruptly: "That Tang Ruilang, you two... are you still in touch?"

Lu You's eyelids twitched, and just about to deny it, she heard Yue Shan rushing to say: "No, I didn't mean that. I just thought... If he really treats you well, you don't have to get too entangled in the grievances of your parents, There are also secular prejudices. But, I just said but... If he deliberately plays with you, you must not lose your heart."

Why did my sister suddenly say that...

After thinking about it for a while, Lu You quickly figured it out - she actually thought that all the money was given by Tang Ruilang, which would save trouble.

"Sister, don't worry, I have my own measure."

He smiled to calm Ye Yueshan's emotions: "Sui Lang and I are no longer the ignorant children we were back then."

The crescent moon is like a sickle, cutting off the sorrow of parting.

Even with all kinds of helplessness and reluctance, we still can't delay the return date.Waking up early the next day, Lu You set off to return to Zhaojing, and returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs around the evening.

The first priority when returning to the Ministry of Internal Affairs is to visit Duke Changqiu.

Although there was no practical significance, Lu You still entered Lizao Hall with a pack of local products from Liuquan City.He never thought of hiding his whereabouts in the past few days, because even the ends of the earth are probably in the palm of Changqiu Gong.

The hall was lit with candles, Qi Yunchu was still leaning on the reclining chair by the window.It's just that the moon is bright and the autumn is cool, and the bamboo chair has been replaced with mahogany, with a white fox fur on it.

Lu You presented the souvenirs, and was prepared to accept a round of interrogation.Unexpectedly, Qi Yunchu didn't ask anything, but blinked at him with great interest.

"You missed a good show."

This "good show" took place in the Huiqing Hall of King Xuan Zhaoyang.

Things have to go back to the day of Double Ninth and Double Ninth Festival.

On this day, King Xuan's grand and luxurious birthday banquet was held as scheduled.In Huiqing Hall, the sky is embroidered with splendor, red flying and emerald dancing.Among the tens of thousands of golden chrysanthemums that bloom on time, there are all kinds of dried and fresh water, land and delicacies.

A throne was set up in front of the hall, and the emperor and empress Xiao came in person.The birthday star Zhao Yangduan sat on the right seat, and under him were King Kang and a group of young princes, as well as the clan and favorite ministers—but the crown prince Zhao Yun was not called.

The younger brother celebrates his birthday, but the elder brother is absent.Even in ordinary people's homes, this is unreasonable and strange.However, it is no wonder that Honglu Temple didn't know the etiquette, because since Hu Ji left the palace, Zhao Yun didn't think about cooking and eating all day long, lonely and haggard, and even didn't allow the female officials of the East Palace to enter and leave his bedroom, Guangtian Palace.

Although the Emperor and Empress Xiao were angry, they still had a glimmer of hope for him, so they just ordered people to ignore it and told him to think about his past alone.In this way, there will be no seat for the prince at the banquet.

Such an arrangement at the banquet is nothing more than to avoid disasters.However, there is a saying that "disasters are unexpected", the birthday banquet was just halfway through, and Zhao Yun broke into Huiqing Palace by himself.

Without Qi Yunchu's detailed description, Lu You could already feel the tense atmosphere in Huiqing Hall at that time.

One is the rebellious and dispirited prince; the other is the domineering but favored fourth prince.It doesn't matter how the banquet ends. What's important is that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two prostitutes, who are eager to participate in business, meet each other on a narrow road and are eyeing each other.

The biggest gamble in the Daning Dynasty has already started.

For some members of the court, this alternative bet was all the more important because of the stakes in their lives.But Lu You didn't care very much - he knew that he didn't need and couldn't make a choice based on intuition, likes and dislikes, and just quietly followed behind Qi Yunchu.

On the second day of the Chongyang birthday banquet, another important event happened in the palace—the only son of King Duan Zhao Qing, the three-year-old grandson Zhao Rongze, was taken into the Zichen Palace, and settled in the Han Dynasty on the west side of the Huiqing Palace. Lu Dian.

The Hall of Hanlu was the bedroom of King Anle back then.After being dusty for many years, it finally ushered in a new owner.

But there are hundreds of halls in Zichen Palace, why choose Hanlu Hall?

Prince Anle, Zhao Nanxing, is the emperor's half-brother. During his lifetime, the two brothers had a close relationship.Although Zhao Rongze is only the emperor's grandson, his biological father, Zhao Qing, cannot inherit the great line. Therefore, once the new king ascends the throne, Zhao Rongze's situation will be as embarrassing as that of Prince Anle in the past.

So, the emperor allowed Zhao Rongze to live in the Hanlu Palace, is it implying the future of the little emperor's grandson?

The Hanlu Hall is next to the Huiqing Hall, but it is far away from the East Palace.Is this arrangement implying something?

……

In any case, the traces of King Anle left in Zichen Palace are stored in Hanlu Palace, but now even this last memory is going to be completely erased, Qi Yunchu must have mixed feelings in his heart.

After recovering, Lu You turned his gaze to the soft couch in front of him.

Qi Yunchu still maintained his usual lazy posture, so calm that he didn't even move his eyebrows.However, on the low table next to the soft couch, there is an extra simple black glaze bottle, with a vine of Lingxiao flower inserted in it, but there are no flowers on the vine.

Waiting for Qi Yunchu to finish explaining the important matters, Lu You left Lizao Hall and returned to Jackdawloo to rest.After waking up overnight, the envoys from Huiqing Palace rushed to the door.
