Luo Qingzhi saw the Luo family's carriage when she left the palace gate. She walked towards the carriage and was slightly startled when she saw it was Luo Chen riding the horse.
"Why are you here?"
Luo Chen pointed to the carriage and said, "Sir ordered it."
Luo Qingzhi suddenly hesitated. She had not yet figured out how to inform Fan Li of her plan.
"Arlo, get in the car."
Fan Li in the car noticed Luo Qingzhi's hesitation and gave orders first.
Luo Qingzhi pulled her dress, stepped onto the carriage, and entered the carriage.
"Master, sir, let's set off."
The carriage was moving slowly, and before Luo Qingzhi could think of how to speak, Fan Li asked directly: "Aluo, what are you planning?"
Luo Qingzhi did not answer, and Fan Li continued: "Before, I secretly thought that the literary test was more important, so as soon as today is over, I will come to you, Aluo, sir, I will not stop you from doing anything, I just
Worried about you."
"I understand." Luo Qingzhi nodded and said: "My husband has been with me for more than 20 years, like a brother and a father. I shouldn't have hidden anything from him, but... I have to leave.
The road is unknown."
"How do you know that sir is not willing to accompany you on this road?" Fan Li said with anger in his tone.
Luo Qingzhi lowered her voice to cover up her uneasiness, "Sir, you have worked hard for my Luo family and Luo Qingzhi for half your life. You shouldn't have to work hard at this time. I remember, sir, you love a warmer place. I will give it to you."
Would you like to go to Yunnan?"
Fan Li became even more angry, "What about Luo Er and Gao Zhen? Why did you push him up regardless? Did you ask him if he was willing?"
Luo Qingzhi smiled in relief, "It turns out that sir knows what I am doing."
Fan Li calmed down and said, "I call myself a counselor, and you are by my side. If I can't even follow your rules, wouldn't I be derelict in my duty?"
"...I, I don't want to pull Gao Zhen down, but he is the most suitable." Luo Qingzhi said.
Fan Li sighed and said, "What exactly do you think? General Li Chu's matter has not been fully investigated yet. Maybe it is not what he said."
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "It has nothing to do with General Li or my father's affairs... In order to prevent me from finding out the truth, Your Majesty can kill people in the street, or even kill women indiscriminately...
The Jin family he likes is no better than that, I can't let such a person rule the world."
Fan Li said: "This Gao Zhen is from the Gao family. Are you not afraid that he will change?"
"...I'm afraid, so I asked my husband to teach him sense and let him participate in recruiting a son-in-law, so that he would know that only by being strong can he get what he wants."
Fan Li asked, "You decided this way a long time ago."
"No." Luo Qingzhi explained, "At first, I really wanted him to go beyond the Great Wall, and I really just wanted to protect him. However, the longer I stayed in Jinling, the more I understood,
I can't protect you...I can't even protect General Zuo's wife, let alone the former prince who is bleeding from the Gao family."
Fan Li shook his head, "Aluo, don't feel bad about yourself. These things have nothing to do with you in the first place."
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Sir would say such things to me. I thought that Sir would make me take it as my duty to uphold justice."
"...If the person I was talking to today was the young marshal, I might say this, but I can see how difficult it has been for you along the way, and I don't want you to do something you don't like."
Fan Li explained.
Luo Qingzhi opened the curtain and said: "Sir, look, Jinling City is very different from our Yuzhou."
Fan Li looked outside the curtain. There were rows of shops along the street. People in different costumes were bargaining with street vendors. Occasionally, children came by, holding rattles in their hands, smiling happily.
Luo Qingzhi said: "People here seem to be able to have their own lives. Here, there are no swords, guns, swords and halberds on the streets, no orphans, and no war. I also want to tell myself how the government is doing. Follow me, Luo Qingzhi.
It doesn't matter, but every time I think about it, I can't help but think of Yuzhou..."
Luo Qingzhi put down the curtain and said calmly: "Sir, something needs to change."
Fan Li took a deep breath and said, "Aluo, I will always support every decision you make, but you are not allowed to let me go, and you are not allowed to hide it from me."
"...Okay, but once things change, sir, you must listen to me and leave here." Luo Qingzhi also compromised a little, and Fan Li didn't say more, just asked: "Specific details
Let’s discuss the plan in detail when we return home.”
"Um."
Back at the Princess's Mansion, Luo Qingzhi called Qin Shu over, and they had a deep talk in the study room over the past few days.
Luo Qingzhi said directly without much foreshadowing: "I want to put Gao Zhen on the throne of God."
Fan Li was not surprised at all because he had already guessed it. Luo Chen and Qin Shu were just stunned for a second and nodded one after another.
Luo Chen said: "Whatever the master wants me to do, just tell me."
Qin Shu was a little confused and asked: "Then I have trained him so hatefully these days, so I won't be retaliated against in the future."
Luo Qingzhi laughed out loud and said deliberately: "This is hard to say."
Qin Shu said: "Then I have to find an opportunity to repair it quickly."
Although she had long expected that they would not have too many questions, Luo Qingzhi still subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when faced with such a relaxing scene.
"Then, does the second young master know the master's current plan?" Luo Chen asked.
Luo Qingzhi said: "After I reach an agreement with you, I will talk to him."
Luo Chen said: "Master is sure that the second young master will accept it?"
"...No one can refuse the throne." Luo Qingzhi said with certainty.
Qin Shu smiled, blinked and said, "I think the second young master loves beauty more than country."
Luo Qingzhi couldn't refute and could only continue: "I have no other choice, he is the only choice."
Fan Li coughed a few times and said, "The literary test has passed. If nothing unexpected happens, Luo Er will definitely be in Shijia. What are your plans next?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "I want everyone in the capital to know that Gao Zhen still exists in the Gao family, even if he is just a commoner."
"So, you plan to reveal his identity?" Fan Li asked.
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Yeah."
Fan Li thought for a while and said, "Have you thought about it? The Jin family is very powerful. If you expose it at this time, you will be killed."
"I know it's too risky," Luo Qingzhi paused for a while and continued: "So, he must have the identity of Anning County Horse."
Fan Li asked Luo Chen, "Are you sure about the martial arts test?"
Luo Chen said: "As long as we don't face the Jin family in the first game, we still have a good chance of winning."
Fan Li thought about it and said: "Before, we hid it very well. Even Baili Xi didn't know that Luo Jinchao was from the princess's mansion. As long as we act more securely these days, there is no need for the Jin family to target a merchant from a poor family."
son."
Suddenly, Fan Li smiled and looked at Luo Qingzhi with some admiration, "No wonder you have been so close to Jin Ziji recently."
Luo Qingzhi also smiled, "There has to be someone who stands out. He is very suitable."
Qin Shu said "Oh", "So, the master did it on purpose and wanted everyone to turn their attention to Jin Ziji."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I don't have many people in the capital yet, so there's no guarantee that the nobles in the capital won't play tricks on the lottery. If we can get rid of a member of the Jin family in the first test, then the chance of winning will be greater in the future.
"
"Then, who will fall in love with Jin Ziji?" Luo Chen asked.
"If my inference is correct," Luo Qingzhi continued: "The one who faces Jin Ziji will be Jin Zijue."
"......What?"
Qin Shu looked unbelieving and asked, "They are all sons of the Jin family. The eldest princess will not let them fight."
Luo Qingzhi explained, "Everything hasn't started yet. I'm really not completely sure. However, there is something you said may not be correct. Although they are both sons of the Jin family, Jin Ziji and Jin Zijue have the same love in the heart of the eldest princess.
The portions are different.”
Luo Qingzhi said: "I have been meeting Jin Zijie every day these days, and every time Jin Zijue sends me a post or a gift, I return it. I don't believe the eldest princess will be indifferent to such different treatment.
"
Qin Shu thought for a while and said, "Today, I seemed to see the eldest princess's carriage coming to pick them up, but there was only Jin Zijue on board."
"Let's see." Luo Qingzhi said, pinched her hand, and said, "Even if this attempt to punish her doesn't work, I still have a backup plan."
"Unfortunately, Master, can you control the drawing of lots?" Luo Chen asked.
Luo Qingzhi sighed, "If I had this ability, I wouldn't have to face Jin Ziji for days in a row and listen to him talk about his ambitions."
Luo Chen asked: "Then, what's the next move?"
Luo Qingzhi looked at Qin Shu and said calmly: "Isn't there still Qin Shu here? Thousands of miles away, hunting cattle across mountains, isn't his strength?"
Qin Shu immediately got up and said, "Master, it's daytime during the competition. It's very difficult not to be noticed."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Well, I think so, so you have to work hard, otherwise you won't be able to master it."
Qin Shu couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "Master, I regret it. Can I quit now?"
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "It's too late. You didn't say anything just now. Now, you still have two days to think of a solution."
"..."
Qin Shu went out with a dark face. Fan Li shook his head, "Qin Shu is really fooled."
Luo Chen didn't understand yet and asked: "So, this is not the master's last resort." "So, what is it?"
Luo Qingzhi hooked her hands and said, "Come on, come over here."
Luo Chen listened to Luo Qingzhi's arrangement, slowly lowered his head, then slowly raised his head and said, "I understand, I'll do it right now."
The capable guards left one after another. Fan Li said: "Why do you bother to tease them? You obviously expected the eldest princess to take action."
Luo Qingzhi smiled, "Sir, I'm not that naughty. Although I am 80% sure that the eldest princess will take action, but if she doesn't take action, I will let Luo Chen stay on the eaves of the Ministry of Etiquette for one night.
It would be better if she takes action, but if not, then we have to do it ourselves."
"Is the Ministry of Rites from the Jin family?" Fan Li asked.
Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "Based on Feng Zinan's news and my own observations, yes."
