Luo Chen drove the carriage and almost ran out of the north gate of Ningzhou.
As soon as they entered the official road, Luo Qingzhi ordered the car to stop.
"What's wrong?" Luo Chen turned around and asked.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Get off the car."
Although everyone was puzzled, they still got out of the car.
Luo Qingzhi said: "To the north is Qingqiao Town, where there is a branch of Mo Duzhai. Luo Chen, write down the situation in Ningzhou and send it to Baili Mansion through the study."
"yes."
"Qin Shu." Luo Qingzhi shouted.
"I am here."
Luo Qingzhi said: "You take the carriage and go to Baiqiao Town in the northwest. When you get to the town, find an inn to stay."
Qin Shu asked: "Master, don't you believe they will really let us go?"
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "It's hard to say, it's always good to be more prepared."
Qin Shu asked: "Then what will I do after I settle in the town?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "Gao Zhen's mother and son have been trapped in the imperial city. It is impossible to have that much power to mobilize these people. Someone must be helping them. I want to know who it is."
"Understood." Qin Shu nodded, "I will find an opportunity to return to Ningzhou."
Zhi Xin felt a little uneasy, "Is it too dangerous?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "Without us dragging him down, no one in this world can catch up with him."
Zhixin sighed and supported Luo Qingzhi, "Aluo, your current situation is not optimistic. Let's go back to Jinling as soon as possible."
Luo Chen said: "Qin Shu and I have left, and there is no one to protect you, so my subordinates are worried."
"Don't worry." Luo Qingzhi explained, "They most hope that I can return to the capital safely."
Zhixin shook her head, "I don't understand."
Luo Qingzhi said calmly: "Gao Zhen's external identity is my fiancé Luo Jinchao. Many people in Jinling know it. In addition, I mobilized secret guards in Ningzhou and mobilized the Pingbei Army. They say that I am
Innocent, even I don’t believe it myself..."
"This news must have reached the capital a long time ago. Even if His Majesty believes in me, the ministers of the DPRK will not let me go easily..."
"Then what shall we do when we go back?" Zhixin asked.
"The truth." Luo Qingzhi said firmly, "Someone must know the truth."
Zhi Xin shook her head, "I don't care about these things. All I care about is your eyes. A Luo, let's go."
He gave up the carriage, got on his horse, and returned to Beijing faster.
As expected, the three of them were surrounded by officers and soldiers as soon as they entered Jinling City.
Bailihan walked out of the crowd and said calmly: "Take it."
Luo Qingzhi didn't resist at all. When she passed Bailihan, she heard a muffled voice, "Don't worry."
Bailihan imprisoned Luo Qingzhi in the princess's palace, and the palace doctors came to treat her eyes one after another. Within three days, she took countless kinds of medicine, and the medicine on her eyes was removed and applied again and again, without stopping.
The entire princess's mansion was also taken over by members of the Imperial Army, and Commander-in-Chief Yuan Ying personally supervised Luo Qingzhi.
On the fourth day, the familiar scent of ambergris wafted in.
Gao Yan looked at the gauze-covered man in front of him and didn't speak. He sat on the chair. After a while, he said calmly: "This is the person you chose."
Luo Qingzhi did not respond, but asked, "Can my eyes still regain sight?"
"If they can't be cured, I will kill them."
Luo Qingzhi chuckled, "It seems that it can't be cured."
Gao Yan said: "Second brother is here, there must be a way."
Luo Qingzhi did not answer and asked: "Where are Zhixin and Feng Zinan?"
"Zhixin returned to Yaowang Valley to find a solution. Feng Zinan's injury has healed well, so don't worry." Gao Zhen answered patiently.
"That's good," Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Your Majesty, it's not the imperial doctor's fault that my eyes can't be cured, so please spare them."
"......good."
Got Gao Yan’s
In reply, Luo Qingzhi said: "I'm a little sleepy and want to take a nap."
Luo Qingzhi heard Gao Yan stand up, but then heard him stop.
Then she heard a sigh, "You don't want to know the situation in Ningzhou?"
"Your Majesty trapped me in this room, didn't you just ask me to leave Ningzhou's affairs alone?" Luo Qingzhi responded.
"As long as you understand, rest in peace and recover. I'll be there for other things."
After Gao Yan finished speaking, he stepped up again, opened the door to the room, and turned back to say, "Your Pingbei Army has returned to its base safely."
"Yeah." Luo Qingzhi replied simply, but she couldn't help but wonder in her heart why she let him go. Was it because Gao Yan had exchanged some conditions, or...
The door was closed, blocking her sighs. She touched the bite marks on her neck, and there were already some signs of scarring.
She pulled off the gauze from her eyes, sat cross-legged, and tried to use her internal strength again, but she still felt obvious resistance.
During the few days she was locked in the room, she kept thinking that even if she forcibly used her internal power and caused the qi and blood to clash, she would not suddenly lose all her internal power. The most likely thing was that there was something blocking the internal power.
Operation.
She recalled everything she had encountered in Ningzhou. She had been guarding against everyone, and the people around her were most likely to attack, including Feng Zinan, Luo Chen, Qin Shu, Zhi Xin, and Gao Zhen.
Gao Yan also thought of this, so he locked her up here alone. It was for detention on the surface, but in fact, it was also for protection.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"
"Princess, Mr. Fan Li wants to see you, do you want to see him?" Yuan Ying asked.
"See."
When the door opened, the first thing Luo Qingzhi heard was a cough.
"Sir? Are you sick?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Fan Li said: "No problem, no problem."
"Why did you take off the medicine cloth?" Fan Li asked.
Luo Qingzhi said: "It's useless if you don't apply it enough. I'm not an external injury."
Fan Li sighed and said, "Your Majesty does not allow us to see you, but I think you must want to know what is going on outside."
"Your Majesty didn't let you see me, but Commander Yuan let you in?" Luo Qingzhi was puzzled.
Fan Li said: "I am different after all, I will never betray you."
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Fan Li continued: "Ningzhou and Jiangzhou have been completely controlled by Gao Zhen. He has also restored his name. Now he has 70,000 Mu family troops and 30,000 garrison troops.
Under the banner of revenge for Mu Wanning, we started an uprising."
"Why seventy thousand, and the southbound general's ten thousand?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"The external theory is that they collaborated with the enemy and harmed Mu Wanning." Fan Li said.
"They must have refused to surrender." Luo Qingzhi said.
"Besides." Fan Li hesitated.
Luo Qingzhi asked: "How did they arrange me?"
Fan Li shook his head, "No, there is nothing about you."
Luo Qingzhi was slightly surprised, paused, and continued to ask: "Has the news about Qin Shu and Luo Chen reached you?"
"yes."
Fan Li handed the note sent back by the two to Luo Qingzhi. Suddenly he thought that she could no longer see him, so he took his hand back, opened the paper, and read, "Jin Zhuo, the consort of the Jin family."
"As expected, he is from the Jin family." Luo Qingzhi said.
Fan Li closed the paper, opened Luo Chen's letter, read it, but began to hesitate.
"Where's Luo Chen?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Fan Li said: "There is no news from Luo Chen, how should I reply to Qin Shu?"
Luo Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, "Let him join Luo Chen and stay in Qingqiao Town first."
"Okay." Fan Li said.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"
"Mr. Fan, it's almost time." Yuanying said.
"Got it." Fan Li shouted toward the door, turned to look at Luo Qingzhi, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to explain?"
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "No more."
"..."
Fan Li sighed, turned and left the room.
The sound of opening and closing the door creaked. Fan Li walked out of Luo Qingzhi's yard and opened the crumpled paper.
"Mu Cheng Qian Di."
Fan Li tore the paper into pieces and threw it into the pool, muttering to himself, "Like a bird thrown into a cage."
Luo Qingzhi in the room returned to the bed and circulated the sky according to the method she had first learned when she first learned the art. Gradually, she could feel the weak air flow.
Another half month passed, and the imperial physician in the palace still delivered decoctions on time every day. Luo Qingzhi did not refuse anyone who came and drank every bowl.
At first, the imperial doctors would comfort her, saying they had found a way, but gradually, they just delivered medicine to her as a routine and kept silent unless Luo Qingzhi asked.
Gao Yan came to see him again, but this time, Luo Qingzhi clearly heard a hoarseness in his voice.
"Your Majesty, you haven't had any rest lately, okay?"
Gao Yan cleared his throat and said, "There are a lot of things going on, and I really don't have a good rest, but it doesn't matter."
Luo Qingzhi asked: "Is Zhixin back?"
"No." Gao Yan replied.
Luo Qingzhi added: "I want to meet Mr. Fan, or Feng Zinan."
"..."
Not hearing Gao Yan's answer, Luo Qingzhi asked tentatively: "They are not here..."
"Yeah." Gao Yan said, "I sent them out."
"Go out?" Luo Qingzhi asked: "Where to go?"
Gao Yan coughed a few times and then said calmly: "It's not a big deal, they will be back in a few days."
Luo Qingzhi lowered her head. She thought for a while and asked, "They went to Yuzhou, right?"
The silence again allowed Luo Qingzhi to confirm her suspicion.
"They are attacking Yuzhou?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Gao Yan took a breath, "...right."
Luo Qingzhi was also silent. She didn't understand that to attack Yuzhou, you had to pass through Yizhou first. If General Mengba could fight, he couldn't lose in just half a month.
"Why?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Gao Yan didn't seem to want to answer the question, so he changed the subject and asked, "Have your eyes been feeling better recently?"
"Why?" Luo Qingzhi asked again.
Bump-bang!
The door was pushed open.
"Why, can't you guess it yourself?"
The sudden sound took Luo Qingzhi to identify it for a while.
"Shut up!" Gao Yan shouted.
"Your Majesty, our child is about to be born, and I don't want him to live in troubled times."
Luo Qingzhi knew clearly that the person coming was Concubine Xiao Shu.
There was a crashing sound in the room, and it seemed that Gao Yan was dragging Concubine Shu away.
"Wait, Your Majesty." Luo Qingzhi shouted.
Concubine Shu broke away from his hand and said loudly: "The ministers of the DPRK, ***, they asked your Majesty to punish you for treason. Your Majesty protected you and refuted them, and they began to strike. Even General Meng asked your Majesty to punish you.
An explanation, otherwise Gao Zhen will be allowed to pass through Yizhou!"
"Shut up!" Gao Yan shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to surrender this world to others?"
Luo Qingzhi sneered, wiped the smooth skin on her neck, and murmured to herself, "It turns out that I didn't say anything just for this moment, so I was so self-indulgent..." This chapter has been completed!
