Because he had slept during the day, Li Jiuzhou was not sleepy at all at night. He stayed up all night studying the sealed letter until his eyes were bloodshot.

"Alang, wake up, someone is looking for you." Zhang Xiaoluo got up very early and shouted in the courtyard.

After cleaning up, Wang Yuying quickly brought in hot water.

He wiped it hastily and walked out of the door. Gao Lishi stood at the door with a smile, and two carriages were parked behind him.

"The saint calls you into the palace."

Li Jiuzhou asked: "Aweng, do you know what's going on?"

Gao Lishi shook his head slightly, as if he didn't feel comfortable speaking directly. He stretched out his hand to guide him and took the lead in the first carriage.

Li Jiuzhou also got into another car to carry his father.

"Alang, you haven't had breakfast yet." Zhang Xiaoluo chased after him and shouted.

Li Jiuzhou smiled slightly and did not answer him. He lowered the curtain and the two carriages headed straight for the palace.

After walking for a long time, it turned out that it was not the Daming Palace, but the Huaqing Palace.

At this time, Li Longji was already stationed in Huaqing Palace.

Every season, he would visit Huaqing Palace and stay there for half a year. During this period, the government agencies in Chang'an also moved to Lishan Mountain along with his trip.

On the way, we also passed Mrs. Guo’s Mansion.

Because Li Jiuzhou saw the big words "Guoguo Madam's Mansion" on the plaque.

Li Jiuzhou's face turned red and he quickly lowered the curtain.

This time the emperor saw him, but it was at the Merit Courtyard next to the Seventh Temple.

But it was strange that Concubine Yang was not with her this time. Except for a few internal servants, there were no other people.

Compared with the bustle in the Seven Temples a few days ago, this is very quiet.

When I look at the scenery of Huaqing Palace during the day, it is completely different from what it is at night.

During the day, you can see every flower, grass and tree clearly. This kind of scenery is better than all the scenic spots and historic sites you have ever visited in your life.

Li Jiuzhou likes such a quiet atmosphere.

He followed Gao Lishi and walked over, looking at the emperor who was enjoying the scenery lazily and gracefully.

"Come here quickly." The emperor said eagerly: "I have composed a poem. Come and taste it."

"The saint is eight Dou tall, and his poems must be rare in the world." Li Jiuzhou strode closer.

Gao Lishi was busy calling people to get pens and ink.

"That's all." The emperor's raised hand suddenly dropped down. After being praised by Li Jiuzhou, he seemed to feel that his poem was still lacking, even though he didn't chant it.

Gao Lishi then stepped forward and said: "How can a saint be so elegant? If there is no inspiration in the future, the world will lose another masterpiece."

The emperor thought about it. There are not many people here, so he might as well write it down first, then wait for someone to get the pen and ink, and chant: "Recalling the past, the charming concubine was in Zichen, and the beauty was not restrained, so she was naive. Although Shuangxiao was like that at that time, I couldn't help it.

Jiaobo doesn’t care about others.”

"Good poem." Gao Lishi thought for a moment and then praised it.

Li Jiuzhou also pondered for a moment and gave a thumbs up: "Good poem, listen to the meaning of the saint's poem, but was it written for Concubine Wu Hui?"

He knew clearly that Li Longji's poem was written to Concubine Mei, but he deliberately mentioned Concubine Wu Hui.

Gao Lishi frowned at the side.

Thinking of the old events, the emperor was slightly sad but not angry, so he tried to ignore the matter and said, "I just said it casually, without any other reference."

"Guolao Medicine Hall is nearby. I heard that the sage once summoned Zhang Guolao to perform rituals for Concubine Wu Hui. I think he must have a profound Taoist practice. I would like to see him." Li Jiuzhou said while looking at Guolao not far away.

Medicine hall.

The emperor had always been interested in Taoist matters, and he treated Zhang Guolao very politely, so he said: "It's rare for Mr. Tongxuan to be here. I just want to go find him, so let's go together."

Gao Lishi stepped forward to lead the way, and Li Jiuzhou followed the emperor to Guolao Medicine Hall.

The real shadow tent is partially covered with grass, and the Guo Lao Medicine Hall is empty.

This Guolao Medicine Hall was built by the emperor in the Huaqing Palace specifically for Zhang Guolao's alchemy. When he walked into the house, he saw a man with black temples and bright teeth, who looked like a strong man. He was resting his mind with his eyes closed, and there were two boys standing beside him.

As soon as the emperor waved his hand, the few servants who followed him respectfully guarded the door and did not go in again.

"Mr. Tongxuan." Gao Lishi called softly, but Zhang Guolao didn't open his eyes, as if he didn't hear him.

The emperor spoke: "It seems that Mr. Tongxuan is very elegant today. He was rarely seen when he came here in the past."

Zhang Guolao finally opened his eyelids, glanced at him, and pretended to be shocked, "It turns out that the saint is here."

The demigod Zhang Guolao had a unique temperament that he had cultivated for many years. Li Jiuzhou calmed down and looked at him. Logically speaking, he should be an old man. How did he stay so young?

"I have always heard that Zhang Guolao is an expert in the world. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved." Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals, became famous in later generations, so Li Jiuzhou began to treat him as a respected old man. His expression became more respectful and serious, and his words

There is absolutely no hint of hypocrisy in it.

"I haven't done anything, how do you know that I am an expert in this world?" Zhang Guolao's rhetorical question caught Li Jiuzhou off guard.

"In the past, Mr. Wu performed rituals for Concubine Wu Hui, so that the souls of grievances could be appeased. He is certainly an expert."

Zhang Guolao did not accept the flattery and continued to ask: "How do you know that you are wronged?"

The emperor and Gao Lishi also looked at Li Jiuzhou.

"Where did the injustice start?" the emperor also asked.

Li Jiuzhou felt like he couldn't get off stage for a while.

"Mr. Tongxuan is an expert in this world. He knows where the injustice comes from." Li Jiuzhou turned the topic to Zhang Guolao.

The eyes of the emperor and Gao Lishi followed his words and turned to Zhang Guolao.

Both of them were curious about what injustice Li Jiuzhou was referring to.

Zhang Guolao raised his eyebrows, stood up slowly, stared at him for a long time, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Young man is really fearless, bold and careful. Since you have evidence, how can you use me to provoke him?"

This matter."

Li Jiuzhou looked calm and said quietly: "Please sir, please be your witness."

Zhang Guolao raised his chin slightly and said loudly: "If you are not afraid of death, then I will accompany you."

The emperor was puzzled when he heard this: "What did you two say? Please tell me in detail."

Zhang Guolao's eyes were slightly closed, his expression was peaceful, and he was silent for a long time.

Li Jiuzhou stared into the distance, feeling silently melancholy.

If you die, you will die. "If you keep hiding this from the saint, I feel guilty. Since you let me know about it, even if you die, I will also tell the saint the whole story."

Li Jiuzhou slowly took out the secret letter that Princess Xianyi gave him last night and whispered: "This secret letter was accidentally obtained by me from Li Ge's house. It is of great importance, but this matter

I have to say that I don’t want the saint to be kept in the dark.”

He deliberately said that the secret letter was obtained accidentally from Li Linfu's house. In this way, the emperor would be more convinced after reading the secret letter.

Before Gao Lishi could take it, the emperor had already taken the secret letter from Li Jiuzhou, opened it and read it carefully.

After reading it, I couldn't help but frown and my face changed drastically.
