The sun was setting in the west, and several police officers in black were patrolling outside the white-walled and blue-tiled house. Because Ye Jingtang had already taken the three ladies out, the house was much quieter than during the day.

In the courtyard of the west wing, Zhe Yunli was dressed as a gentle lady, using a fan as a knife and slowly practicing her sword skills. Niao Niao was squatting on the roof, tilting her head and looking at another yard not far away.

In the yard next door, there is a brand new wheelchair, which Ye Jingtang just asked the police to deliver, but Hua Qingzhi is not sitting on it at this time.

In the side room next to the wheelchair, the doors and windows are closed. The room is clean and tidy, with desks, tea couches, treasure racks, screens, etc., and there is a mahogany canopy bed in the back room.

Perhaps because she was afraid of treating this aristocratic lady from a well-known family poorly, all the daily utensils were new. Sanniang even got collection-grade pens, inks, paper and inkstones and placed them on the desk for Hua Qingzhi's use.

Although the treatment was very good, Hua Qingzhi was obviously not happy at this time. She was sitting alone on the edge of the canopy bed, with her hands folded on her waist. There was a deep melancholy in her beautiful eyebrows, as if she had just entered a wealthy family.

The resentment of "Hai, we are all old friends in Beiliang from now on" is also like the uneasiness of "The weak young lady was forcibly taken back to the village by bandits to be her aunt, and she has no way to escape and doesn't know what will happen at night".

Compared with Hua Qingzhi, Luzhu is content with what she has come, and is even a little happy in her heart. After all, she is a personal maid. She can marry whomever the young lady marries, but she is snatched home by the unparalleledly handsome and civilized Duke Ye. No matter what,

It's better than finding a crooked melon and cracked jujube in Beiliang.

At this time, Luzhu was very diligent, arranging various objects back and forth in the room in the way the lady was accustomed to, and comforting her softly:

"Miss, please be open. When the two armies are fighting, our daughter's family will suffer the most. If we can save our lives, it will be auspicious. How can we dare to ask for too much? Now that we have reached the Southern Dynasty, we can't go back..."

Although Hua Qingzhi has problems with her legs and feet, she has never been a weak woman who has always been submissive. It would be fine if she was snatched away by the Night Terror Hall. After all, she really has nothing to do with the Night Terror Hall. If he really wants to use violence against her, he will be disappointed again.

I can only accept my fate with tears in my eyes.

But Ye Jingtang had no such intention at all. It was the fierce woman who took her back on her own initiative.

If her innocent daughter's family stayed in Yejingtang's house and stayed alone until she could go back to Beiliang, wouldn't that be the same as cooking rice?

After thinking about this for a long time, he raised his hand to interrupt Lu Zhu, who was already preparing to lead the young lady to surrender:

"Luzhu, do you have any money?"

Lu Zhu was tied up voluntarily, and she must have packed her things before leaving home. Then she sat down in front of her, put her hand into her arms, felt in her belly pocket, took out a stack of silver notes, and handed it to Hua Qingzhi:

"I didn't bring much, just the 30,000 taels that I didn't use when I went to Yun'an last time. This is my only possession, and I didn't even dare to take it out on the way..."

?

Hua Qingzhi originally thought that the two of them came here penniless, and was thinking about what to do with their daily necessities, food, housing, and transportation in the future. When she found out that Lu Zhu was carrying her pocket money, her expression immediately changed. She took the banknote and checked it from inside.

He took out a few and handed them to Luzhu:

"You go buy a house in the city now. There is no need to negotiate the price. As long as you are willing to sell it now and it can be lived in tonight, we will move there later..."

Luzhu frowned and said hesitantly:

"Isn't this inappropriate? There is a lot of war and chaos right now. It would be so safe to live here. If we move out..."

Hua Qingzhi thought about it, she must not have the intention to harm others, and she must have the intention to guard against others. Her Hua family background could not suppress many people in the Southern Dynasties.

If you lose both your life and money, you might as well endure the humiliation and bear the burden of being an aunt here...

"Then find a house on this street, preferably with two pairs of doors..."

"Miss, isn't this unnecessary?"

Hua Qingzhi said seriously: "There are so many people outside, and Mr. Ye and I are innocent. If we stay at Mr. Ye's house overnight, it will inevitably lead to misunderstandings among these people, especially the Queen. And I bought a house by myself, even if there are two pairs of doors.

Next door, I also live in my own home..."

Lu Zhu felt that this was completely unnecessary. After all, with Lord Ye's reputation and status, even if the two of them moved to live outside the city, in the eyes of the police outside, they would probably be the newly adopted aunt of Lord Ye.

Kicked out and live...

But the young lady is worried about this. As a maid, she cannot blatantly persuade the young lady to accept her fate. She just lives in Mr. Ye's house and hopes to have two children in three years. At the moment, she can only say:

"Let me go and ask..."

Tap tap tap...

As Luzhu left, Hua Qingzhi sat on the bed alone, looking at the elegant room full of books, feeling a little restless.

But now that the matter has come to this, she doesn't have the same powerful Qinggong skills as other women. She can't escape from the house even if she wants to, so she can only sigh helplessly:

"well……"

After a moment of silence alone, two voices suddenly came from outside the yard:

"Fat Concubine, come here."

"grumble?!"

…

Hua Qingzhi's eyes moved slightly, and she felt that the voice sounded familiar, so she stood up on the canopy bed, slowly walked to the door and looked outside.

At this time, a figure walked through the corridor outside the courtyard and glanced into the room.

The figure was wearing a long red dress. Although she was not wearing makeup or jewelry, she looked extremely gorgeous. Just when she appeared, the already darkened sky felt a little brighter.

Hua Qingzhi recognized who this person was just by seeing the red dress - wasn't this the beautiful concubine Yun An had seen? She also used an acrostic poem to criticize the other person...

…

Hua Qingzhi was indeed not afraid of a concubine before, but now that she has arrived at Ye Jingtang's house, she is still helpless, and a concubine comes to her door, even if she wants to teach her the rules...

Hua Qingzhi looked around and saw that Mr. Ye and Luzhu were not there, and it was not easy to close the door and not see guests, so she nodded first:

"Miss Yuhu, you are here too."

The empress came here now to find Xue Baijin. She came to the Hua Qingzhi courtyard just because she had dealt with her before and came to meet her. At this time, the empress stopped in front of the door and nodded:

"I am a subordinate of Duke Ye, and I come here often. The last time I saw her, Miss Hua's talent really impressed me. I heard that Miss Hua is also here, so I stopped by to take a look."

Seeing that this beautiful concubine was not aggressive, Hua Qingzhi felt less stressed and wanted to turn around and make tea:

"Miss Yuhu, come in and sit down."

The empress raised her hand and said: "I still have official duties, so I won't go into the house. Oh, this tree and begonia are pretty good, um..."

?

When Hua Qingzhi saw this beautiful concubine pretending to be pregnant, she understood that she wanted to continue discussing poetry.

Under the eaves, Hua Qingzhi couldn't refuse, so she could only let the other party retreat. After a little consideration, she looked back at the begonia flowers in the corner of the lower courtyard and said with a smile:

"The begonia flower on this tree is somewhat similar to that of a girl. Well... the beauty of the country is natural and unique. The color is deep and has a strong fragrance. It is in an alluring state, and the fragrance is alluring in the spring breeze."

"..."

When the Empress saw that Hua Qingzhi had come up with a song without thinking, she blinked her eyes and recited it silently first vertically, then horizontally, then diagonally...

After confirming that this poem only contained the words "the beauty of the country brings fragrance", the empress's eyes showed a strange color.

She had just come over and had already done her homework and thought of a sarcastic acrostic poem.

Now that Hua Qingzhi knows what it means to be an aunt, it is obviously inappropriate for her to recite a sarcastic acrostic poem when she starts praising her as "the beauty of the country."

For this reason, the empress directly raised her hand in salute and praised:

"Miss Hua is so talented in poetry, I am ashamed of myself. From now on, when Miss Hua lives in the Southern Dynasty, if you have any inconvenience, you can tell me at any time. I am an errand in the court, and I can talk to the current emperor, even at night.

If I have offended the girl, I can help you seek justice."

Hua Qingzhi didn't believe it at all that Ye Jingtang could be controlled, but she still nodded and said:

"Then thank you girl first."

The empress nodded slightly, then looked around the courtyard:

"Which Miss Xue who came back with Miss Hua is not at home?"

When Hua Qingzhi heard this, her expression became less gentle, and she frowned and said:

"I didn't come back with her, she kidnapped me here. She didn't listen to anything she said on the way, so she just left me here and ignored me. If the girl knows her, please tell her for me and ask her to send me away.

go back."

?

The empress blinked her eyes. She really didn't expect that there would be such trouble behind her. She nodded and said:

"Really? I'm going to ask about the situation. If this is true..."

When Hua Qingzhi saw this, her eyes lit up and she looked at the life-saving straw.

But the girl Yuhu outside the corridor was obviously just a concubine. How could she dare to send the master’s woman away? She then said:

"It's true that this matter is not easy to handle. Now that the two dynasties are at war, Ye Jingtang can no longer go to Beiliang, and I can't use Xue Baijin. Girl, stay here for now. When the situation changes in the future, the court will send you back."

"..."

Hua Qingzhi had nothing to say and sighed deeply, then she had no choice but to return to the house silently...

——

On the other side, outside the palace.

When the empress comes to Jingjie City, she will naturally be accompanied by the imperial doctor, imperial chef, etc., because they are all people who can be used at any time. For this reason, the temporary imperial hospital is located on the periphery of the palace, next to the imperial guard post.

At night, in Taiyuan Hospital, there were many black yamen chiefs and secret guards standing guard everywhere. In the alchemy hall of Taiyuan Hospital, a pill furnace was burned, and there were many hangings on the wall next to it.

The papers are all copies of prescriptions collected from Beiliang.

Doctor Wang was standing in front of the wall, stroking his beard and carefully considering the various information on the paper. Zhang Jinglin, who had become the second-in-command of the Taiyuan Hospital, was squatting in front of the medicine stove, watching the heat, and they were discussing:

"When I was in Beiliang, I was studying this medicine. However, the Beiliang court was too narrow-minded. Each person was only responsible for a part of it, and they never saw the complete recipe..."

"If the Beiliang court is not careful, why don't you just steal the recipe and give it to King Wu?"

"Indeed, if King Wu gets this thing, and Guan Yujia comes down and says, "Open it for me," I'm afraid Lord Ye will have to report it to Wu Shan..."

…

Ye Jingtang is just a martial artist and knows nothing about medicine. Naturally, he did not go to the alchemy room to be a conspicuous person at this time. He just moved a carriage and stood at the door of the Taiyuan Hospital, listening to another conversation:
To be continued...
