On the way, Qi Shu stopped him, and exclaimed, "You're a quick reader, so go get some from me in the afternoon!"

However, the poor prince's brother did not get the respect he deserved, and the rebellious brother left a firm "no" and slipped away.

It's a joke, he finished all these ahead of time and wanted to go back to accompany Alan, who wants to share his brother's worries!

He was anxious, but he didn't forget to beg for a bowl of hot porridge from the small kitchen to Concubine Shu Gu Lianxiang who took up the space.He has always been careless in dealing with other things, but he dare not neglect Su Lan.

"Morning Concubine Shu! Why are you eating so lightly today?" Qi Mo glanced into her food box curiously, and Gu Lianxiang knew that he must have come to prepare food for Mr. Su, who had a bland taste , and simply separated a little bit for Qi Mo to take along with him.

"Sister Guanya ate something bad, and her stomach is not feeling well." Concubine Shu said, seeing no one around, she said to Qi Mo in a low voice, "The things used in the harem have been screened layer by layer. It’s for the empress, but the empress has come to Guishui recently, she can’t eat cold food, and Guanya is greedy, so the empress rewarded her, but fortunately, she didn’t eat too much.”

Concubine Shu's meaning was already obvious. Someone wanted to start from the harem, and the target was probably Fu Yueying, who was the mother of Daliang.

"I've made a note, Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui should be more careful on weekdays." Qi Mo glanced at her worriedly.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui kept to themselves in the palace, they didn't want to fight or scramble, and they only focused on living their own lives, so there was no reason to provoke anyone, and it was even more impossible for Fu Yueying to attack them, this time it must have been affected.Qi Mo knew this, and Gu Lianxiang knew it too, so she never suspected that Fu Yueying did it.

Gu Lianxiang only said that there is no need to worry about them.

Hearing what he said, Su Lan frowned slightly, "It's really strange, it was the same last time, they always want to lead things to the Empress, why is that?"

He leaned on the bed with his clothes on, and swallowed the porridge that Qi Mo fed him in small mouthfuls. After drinking half a bowl, he couldn't eat anymore, and Qi Mo didn't force him. He was a little feverish when he woke up, but he was still in good spirits.

"Unfortunately, I don't know what their plans are. I can only wait and see if there will be any useful news from Xiaoyuan and the others." Qi Mo tried the temperature on his forehead again, and saw that it dropped slightly. I'm relieved.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuan, a hard-working Daliang citizen, was walking out of Ganzhou City with Shen Yanhuan, who was full of food and started to feel sleepy, and who yawned more than he talked.

They came alone, and they didn't bring anything to eat. Some of the money and food allocated by the palace were still on the way, and it would take them a long time to arrive, and the other part had already gone into whose pocket it was unknown.

Xu Mao ordered the servants in the yamen to open the warehouse, and there was a lot of surplus food in it, which was enough for these people to last for several days. It's a pity that Du Heng only cared about filling his own stomach, but refused to help the people at all.

Xu Mao stomped his feet angrily, but pulled the old injury on his leg. He let out a yelp, covered his mouth in a hurry, and opened the warehouse to release the grain with a big hand.

The people who came after hearing the news really believed that the officials who came this time were really here to save them when they saw the white rice.They knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but the more they looked at it, the more they felt uncomfortable.

Xu Mao couldn't stand on his feet. He had just asked people to put grain on the front foot, and then took people to build simple thatched huts for people to live in.With so many people crowded together, it is easy to get sick.

"Do you think this so-called master is the same person that Grandma Huang met?"

The weather was not good, and the gloomy and rolling dark clouds seemed to be depressing at any moment.

The few skinny little soldiers who guarded the city gate before were also ordered by Xu Mao to eat and arrange a place to live.

There are two groups of people guarding here now, on one side are a few young boys wearing Qingyun Taoist robes, their clothes are the same as what Shen Yanhuan wore when he first met Qi Yuan, they should come from Yuxu Palace, They saluted the two respectfully and then stared at the disturbance outside the city without turning their eyes.

On the other side are a few teenagers and girls wearing red short jackets. They wear a sandalwood plaque on their waists, with a red crescent moon engraved on the top. They should be from Jingchuan Hongyuetang.

"I don't think so. They don't need to create multiple incidents in the royal temple at the same time. This will only make us more suspicious and track them down faster. This is not good for their plan."

Looks like it's going to snow soon...

"Yanyan, last time that bouquet of crocus... where did you get it?" Qi Yuan asked.

Shen Yanhuan thought for a while, "The night I went to pick up Miss Ya'er, I smelled a pleasant scent of flowers, so I asked the little flower seller on the roadside to buy them. What's wrong?"

If it weren't for the keen sense of smell, you might have missed it.It seems that this person is familiar with him.

"It's okay, it's just that the flowers bloomed very well that day."

"Really..." Shen Yanhuan squinted her eyes and smiled, "I still think the one I plucked for the first time is the prettiest."

According to Du Heng, the place where the tree was located was not far away, and the two of them walked quickly and arrived soon.

"Is this the sacred tree?"...It's nothing special.

Shen Yanhuan circled around this big tree with thick branches and leaves a few times, the trunk was thick, and the two of them stretched their arms almost before they could circle around.

There are some deep and shallow marks on the ground, and I don't know if those children were still alive or awake when their blood dripped into the soil, watching their lives being lost little by little.

I don't know if the nourishment of the blood really has a miraculous effect. In this kind of weather where everything is exhausted, it still has green leaves all over its body.

If you look closely, it's not just under the tree, the bark that has fallen off is also stained with some dark red blood, clinging to the tree like a dense colony of ants.

From the looks of it, they should have been locked in iron cages, hanging high on the thick branches of the big tree, bleeding out.

Maybe those junior brothers and sisters in Qingwu also...

"According to what Du Heng said, whether it's looking for someone or making a move, he will handle it all by himself. That person is cautious. It seems that we won't find any useful clues here."

Qi Yuan looked around, there were footprints, but they were very messy, they came and went, and there would be indentations of the iron cage from time to time. These were all made by Du Heng and his men. There is nothing else.

"Hmm...how should I say it? Things have come to an impasse again?" Shen Yanhuan looked at him with her face up.

Fine and light snowflakes began to float in the sky, curled up by the cool air and hung on the hair.

"Yeah, it's deadlocked." Qi Yuan knelt down in front of him, "Go back, after a while your shoulders will hurt again after snowing."

Shen Yanhuan climbed up like a stream, and walked back while being carried on his back. The fox fur cloak tightly wrapped him up, only exposing the tip of a small nose that was a little red from the cold.

The snow was so fierce that the ground was covered with a thin layer in a short while.

At this time, only the two of them went out of the city, and the new layer of snow was clean without half a footprint. They were lucky enough to be the first people to see the first snow of this year.

The people in the city were arranged by Xu Mao to live in some temporary houses, and the dilapidated and unusable wooden and straw houses were dismantled and split into firewood for each family to keep warm.

Everything is in order.

"Master Xu is a person with real talent and hard work." Shen Yanhuan said.

It's really unbelievable.

Qi Yuan smiled and said: "Don't look at my master who scolded him the most fiercely, but she is also very proud."

"I hope the old man can scold me too." Shen Yanhuan pressed his covered hands to his face, "It snowed like this once when I was young, and some senior brothers asked me to play around together, but in the end Only they were punished to stand in the yard wearing single clothes for half a night, but the old man asked me to play in the backyard..."

"Isn't that good?" Qi Yuan lifted him up again.

"Hmm..." Shen Yanhuan didn't know what to say, "But I always feel that he is looking at someone else through me."

Because of the gloomy sky, lights were lit in front of many houses where people lived, and the Ganzhou city, which was illuminated backwards, became somewhat popular.

"Are you tired? Let me down and I'll go by myself." Shen Yanhuan patted him.

Qi Yuan was happy, "My little ancestor, why didn't you say that just now, it's almost here." But he didn't intend to let go.

A few pots of wine were warming on the stove, and the huge yamen was divided into front and rear courtyards, which were separated by stone bricks during their departure.

The available servants picked out by Xu Mao lived in the front yard, as well as children and women and old people who had no relatives in the city.Right under their noses, they are more or less scruples about hurting these children again.

Bai Rensheng slapped the sword in his hand on the table with a "snap", "No! If I say no, I won't!"

"Why not!" Shen Yanhuan hid behind Qi Yuan and shouted at his master, "Obviously we both slept together when you were not around!"

Qi Yuan: Pfft.

Bai Rensheng pressed the corners of his eyes that kept jumping, "A Yan is obedient, sleep with Master today."

As she spoke, she was going to pull him, Shen Yanhuan tightly hugged Qi Yuan's waist with both hands and would not let go, "Whoever wants to sleep with you, I don't want the stinky old man to let me go!"

Why did this brat go out and wander around so disobedient?

"I've never seen you so meddling in other people's affairs. Why are you meddling in young people's affairs?" Zi Li said as she trimmed her baby nails.

Bai Rensheng said: "What do you know, Xiao Yan really likes a man, and that man also thinks it can't be him!"

"Why!" Shen Yanhuan poked her head out from behind Qi Yuan, but Bai Rensheng gave her a glare before shrinking back.

"Senior..." Qi Yuan took a step forward, and Shen Yanhuan followed him closely, "Could it be that Yanyan's death in her previous life was related to this junior?"
