The sky turned white. Luo Qingzhi drank the medicine and lay on the bed. After the medicine took effect, she closed her eyes peacefully.
Gao Zhen, who was in the same hospital, didn't sleep all night. He opened the door, sat in the hall, and stared at Luo Qingzhi's room without relaxing for a moment.
As soon as the medicine took effect, Luo Qingzhi woke up. She struggled to get up, but she was still dizzy and almost fainted again. She stabilized herself, stood up, and poured herself a cup of tea.
The maid who happened to come in shouted in surprise: "Princess, are you awake?"
Such a sound also alarmed Gao Zhen in the opposite room. He immediately got up and came to Luo Qingzhi's room.
Luo Qingzhi raised her eyes and said to the female envoy on the side: "No one told the county master what happened last night."
"No, sir, that's what I ordered."
"Okay, go and call Luo Chen."
"Yes, Princess."
After the female envoy left, Gao Zhen immediately stepped forward and helped Luo Qingzhi sit down on the bed again.
Seeing that Gao Zhen was still wearing the same clothes as last night, Luo Qingzhi thought that he must have stayed up all night.
"Go back to your room and rest, I'll be fine." Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Zhen squatted beside the bed, lowered his head, and took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. Then he slowly raised his head, looked at Luo Qingzhi, and said firmly: "Aluo, I don't know.
What happened last night, but I will always be with you, and I will do whatever you want me to do."
Luo Qingzhi repeated Gao Zhen's words and whispered, "Can I do anything...?"
Gao Zhen nodded, his eyes sincere.
Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, Luo Chen is coming, and I want to discuss things with him."
Just after Gao Zhen left for a while, Luo Chen arrived. At this time, Luo Qingzhi was neatly dressed and her hair was pulled high. Although she was a little more energetic, her face still looked haggard.
The two sat on opposite sides, and Luo Qingzhi asked: "Has the news from Yuzhou come?"
Luo Chen handed over the letter and said, "It's been an hour, and Mr. Fan doesn't allow us to disturb you, Master, so..."
"It's okay, has Mr. Fan read it?" Luo Qingzhi said and took the letter.
Luo Chen shook his head and said, "No."
Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "Then you go and invite Mr. to the study. I will be there in a minute."
Luo Chen did not answer, but said cautiously: "But, but... sir, he said that you should rest."
Luo Qingzhi said calmly: "Since you listen to Mr. Fan so much, then you can follow him in the future."
"...I will go and ask for you, sir."
A quarter of an hour later, in the study room of the mansion.
Luo Qingzhi walked towards Fan Li and saluted. Fan Li stopped her and asked, "General, what do you mean?"
"Master, I am not saluting as General An Ning, but as Luo Qingzhi."
Hearing this, Fan Li did not stop her. He waited for Luo Qingzhi to finish her salute, helped her up and sat on the seat, and then slowly asked: "Aluo, what's going on?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "That year, I just returned to Yuzhou, and you asked me what I wanted to do in the future."
Fan Li seemed to be thinking about it, paused for a while, then nodded and said: "That year, you told me that you didn't want to follow the path of your father and brother, nor did you want to follow the path of the Gao family, but wanted to take your own path...
"
"...Yes, I have always wanted to go my own way." Luo Qingzhi said, looking at the Yujue at her waist, and continued: "I don't like fighting, and I don't want to participate in party struggles. I originally wanted to
, defend Yuzhou, no matter who the Gao family or whoever is the emperor, I will take care of myself..."
Fan Li sighed and said: "Master naturally knows you, but you are not only Luo Qingzhi, you are also the head of the Luo family in Yuzhou, the guard general of Yuzhou, and... you are the daughter of Luo Huaiyi, the king of Pingbei.
"
Luo Qingzhi lowered her head and said: "In the past ten years... I know that the master is also angry with me. You keep calling me general. I know that you want me not to forget the Beifu Army at all times. Don't
Forget father."
Fan Li did not answer, which was regarded as acquiescence. Luo Qingzhi continued: "Master, I have not forgotten, I have not forgotten..."
"I know." Fan Li said with distressed eyes, "You have been stubborn since you were a child. You don't like to talk about your thoughts. You like to handle everything by yourself. Master still remembers that when you were young, you broke the prince's porcelain vase.
I would rather sell my jewelry and buy an identical one than ask for help from others."
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said: "I am too naive after all, too naive..."
"At that time, I had just returned to Yuzhou and had just taken charge of the Beifu Army. They said that I, a woman, stepped on the bones of my father and brother to reach this highest position."
Fan Li said sharply: "They are jealous of you and are talking nonsense."
Luo Qingzhi shook her head and said in an indifferent tone: "No, no, master, what they said is true."
Fan Li frowned, and Luo Qingzhi stabilized her thoughts and said: "Yesterday, I saw General Li Chu next to my father. He told me that back then, my father was not stabbed to death by some pawn, but by his majesty's sword.
Through the chest."
Fan Li took a breath and said: "All the people back then were dead, but it was General Li Chu who said so."
"General Li Chu and my father are close friends of life and death. He will not lie to me. After entering the palace last night, he tested His Majesty, and he avoided it." Luo Qingzhi said.
Fan Li took Luo Qingzhi's hand and said, "Aluo, what do you think now?"
"..."
Luo Qingzhi looked at the Kan map hanging in the study and said: "In the past ten years, your Majesty has reduced taxes, repaired farmland, changed the salt policy, and checked and balanced the aristocratic families. He has been a good emperor..."
Fan Li nodded, knowing in his heart that Luo Qingzhi was hesitant. He said, "Aluo, it's okay. Just do whatever you want. The master is here."
Luo Qingzhi said: "I don't want to wrongly accuse him, and I can't let my father die unexplained. I will go find out about this matter. If it is true..."
"If it's true?" Fan Li asked.
Luo Qingzhi was silent for a while, with a firm look in her eyes, and said: "If it is true, then... someone who has an unfair position should not be sitting in the hall."
Having made the decision, Luo Qingzhi called Luo Chen in.
"master."
"Go to Mingfeng Tower and bring General Li Chu to the mansion and take good care of him."
"yes."
After giving instructions to Luo Chen, he called Qin Shu.
"When the palace changed, Li Chu was able to survive. Maybe there were others who survived. Check it out."
Qin Shu had never seen Luo Qingzhi look so calm and distant before. It was rare for him to salute formally and say: "Yes."
After all the instructions were given, Luo Qingzhi's face felt a little hot again. When Fan Li saw this, he immediately said: "The instructions have been given, let's wait for the news and go back to the room to rest quickly. A Luo, we have just begun."
Luo Qingzhi nodded obediently and returned to her room.
Just after lying down, the female envoy brought a new decoction. After Luo Qingzhi drank it, she began to feel sleepy.
"Father, what should I do..."
It started to rain again outside the house. In a daze, Luo Qingzhi heard a rapid knock on the door. She woke up and stood up to open the door.
Luo Chen was covered in blood, and his right hand was hanging on one side, as if it was broken.
"Master, master, subordinates...General Li Chu is dead..."
Luo Qingzhi's eyes were filled with shock and she asked: "What? What's going on?"
Luo Chen said: "My subordinates put the general into the carriage, and as soon as they drove out of Liuli Lane, a group of men in black swarmed up from all around. It was because my subordinates did not check, and underestimated the enemy. I did not expect that there were people at the foot of the imperial city, in the clear sky and in broad daylight.
Blatantly robbing people.”
Luo Chen knelt down and said, "My subordinates couldn't resist. The old general was hit by a sharp arrow and pierced his heart. He didn't leave anything behind."
"..."
Luo Qingzhi immediately said: "Where are the people from the patrol camp?"
"No, no one from the patrol camp showed up." Luo Chen replied.
Luo Qingzhi clenched her fists, suddenly thought of something, and said sternly: "No, Mr. Qingshan."
She was about to give instructions to Luo Chen, but when she saw his injury, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Qin Shu is back."
"without."
Luo Qingzhi turned around and went back to the house, put on her coat, picked up her sword, and walked out quickly.
Gao Zhen heard the noise and followed urgently.
When Luo Qingzhi rushed to Mingfeng Tower, she heard Qingshan Jun's cry. She climbed directly to the third floor and entered through the window. A man in black was already raising his sword and preparing to stab Qingshan.
Luo Qingzhi pushed the scabbard of the sword and knocked down the man in black. She wanted to keep him alive for questioning, but the man immediately swallowed medicine and vomited blood.
Luo Qingzhi asked Qingshan, "Is there only one person?"
Qingshan nodded blankly, Luo Qingzhi took his hand and said, "Come back home with me, you can't stay here any longer."
Mother Fan and Gao Zhen came in at the same time, the former smiling and the latter full of anger.
Mother Fan spoke first and said, "Oh, are you trying to redeem your life for our Lord Qingshan?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "You can tell me how much it will cost."
Mother Fan smiled and said, "Not much, one thousand taels."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Tomorrow, come to Princess Anning's Mansion to pick it up."
Hearing Princess Anning's name, Fan's mother immediately panicked and said hesitantly: "I don't know, it was Princess Anning who arrived and bumped into His Highness."
Luo Qingzhi didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, so she left "I'll pick it up tomorrow" and pulled Qingshan Jun away, passing by Gaozhen without even looking at him.
The carriage that came to pick him up was waiting at the door, and Luo Qingzhi took Qingshan Jun into the carriage. The Princess's Palace's carriage drove from Liuli Lane to Qizhenfang, where the Princess's Palace was located. Along the way, everyone was talking.
In the carriage, Luo Qingzhi let go of Qingshan Jun's hand. Her fever did not go away, and she walked quickly to blow the wind. A mouthful of blood surged up. Qingshan Jun immediately wiped her with a handkerchief.
Luo Qingzhi opened the curtain and asked, "Is there someone behind the scenes to take care of the second young master?"
"Yes, Master, don't worry."
Luo Qingzhi finally felt relieved and hurriedly explained: "After returning home, someone will take care of Mr. Qingshan."
"yes."
Returning to the princess's mansion, Qin Shu, who was out, was already waiting at the door.
Luo Qingzhi got off the carriage, and Gao Zhen from the car behind also arrived.
"Master, are you okay?" Qin Shu was a little flustered.
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, but she didn't expect that shaking her already dizzy head like this actually aggravated the dizziness. Qingshan Jun stepped forward to support her, then bent down to pick up Luo Qingzhi, and asked gently: "Excuse me,
Where is the princess’s room?”
Qin Shu was stunned for a moment and then said: "Master, please."
Gao Zhen, who was at the door of the mansion, just watched Qingshan Jun walking further and further away with the girl he liked in his arms. There was nothing he could do, and he swore secretly in his heart.
"Only by becoming stronger can A Luo be the only one around him." This chapter has been completed!
