Liu Ruhai was in the courtyard of the palace, and the morning light was getting brighter. He was in front of the pharmacy door, staring at the female puppet sitting quietly in the corner with his hands behind his hands. She always had a gray robe and a gray scarf, with only one eye exposed.
He frowned, still feeling that something was wrong.
But maybe he is being careless? He put a snake on Feng Xiaochu. If she leaves this yard, the snake will warn him.
He laughed and sighed, left the pharmacy and sat down in the yard. Under the shadow of the trees in the early morning, he tapped the table and pondered in silence.
Eunuch He followed, and Li Baihu knew that he was in a bad mood, so they had already quietly gone back to their rooms.
Cao family.
Feng Xiaochu looked at Cao Xiwan: "I have a big matter that I want to discuss with you."
"you say."
"Sit down and talk."
Cao Xiwan, who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, looked back at her and nodded.
In the corner of the kang bed, a small medicinal snake swam out from Feng Xiaochu's clothes silently. It was planning to leave the Cao family and find its owner Liu Ruhai.
But as soon as it slipped to the door, it smelled the smell of medicine. There was her rice bucket beside the door. In the beggar's rice bucket, there was the aroma of the snake-proof medicine bag.
It collapsed behind the rice bucket and fell asleep.
Cao Xiwan sewed the sachets for epidemic prevention and medicine with rice bags. They were stuffed at the bottom of the rice bucket and covered with rice.
She carries the rice bucket with her every day, and she is a sick person.
She sat at the Kang table, glanced at Feng Xiaochu, and asked first, "Where is the snake medicine I gave you?"
"Here." Feng Xiaochu raised his wrist. There was a red string Yaolian'er, "I don't dare to wear it until I go out, otherwise Liu Ruhai will definitely find it."
She nodded, thinking that even if it wasn't the snake bag she snatched from Liu Ruhai, it should still be of some use.
The courtyard of Zhou Wangfu.
"General Manager, should we stick to the original plan?" Bai Fu'er asked with a smile.
"..." Liu Ruhai slowly fed his own cage of medicinal snakes on the white stone table. After a long time, he finally said, "Well, I'd better go out of the city in the next few days. Send the message to Li Guogong. He is in Tianzhuangzi, Jiangning County outside the city.
Meet."
"However, there is news that a group of old people from Shangyuan and Jiangning counties have come out to work again. Maybe they are keeping an eye on this matter?"
Liu Ruhai was startled, asked a few questions in detail, and laughed: "You are not staring at me. You are staring at the batch of nobles who joined the religion." At this time, he suddenly had a flash in his heart, these stories were related to the Qingluo female ghost.
Same goal?
He had always known that she had been keeping an eye on the Wu Sheng Lao Mu Cult. She had placed her own spies in the mansion of the noble family who had joined the Cult.
So does he.
Liu Ruhai nodded slowly: "Okay, there are more and more people outside the city. Our people can't hide anymore, so we should meet Li Guogong as soon as possible. Let them prepare manpower from all sides of Li Mansion Farm. If there is Jinyi's spy, I guess
There must be a Qingluo female ghost among them. Let's go and take a look then. Feng Junqing must want to kill her."
Eunuch He came out of the room at this time. When he heard this sentence, he was shocked: "The Qingluo female ghost is also outside the city?"
——Didn’t she enter the palace and be quite loyal to the Prince of the East Palace?
Liu Ruhai stood up with a long smile: "How can she be loyal!?"
There is no word "junshang" in her eyes.
He refrained from complaining about her virtues in the palace.
This Qingluo female ghost is quite attentive to the yamen's duties, but she doesn't regard the emperor as a human being at all. Let's make Liu Ruhai look more like a loyal minister, okay?
If he were the prince of the Eastern Palace, he would not care about her loyalty at all. If he did anything wrong, he would be tortured to death by her first.
The morning breeze blew the shadows of the branches, and he tied the silk cloak again. Eunuch He quickly came up and lifted the snake cage and listened to him: "Let's go and let the Qingluo female ghost and Master Feng fight."
Baifu'er escorted the manager and Eunuch He out of the courtyard, avoiding the servants, and saw the two of them exiting the corner gate of the palace and riding away.
Baifu slowly walked back to the yard, thinking, is this the reason why Mr. Liu doesn't have a personal feud with the Qingluo female ghost?
She and Master Feng had a feud that would never end. If they were too familiar with each other, they would always be able to find flaws. Manager Liu was much more relaxed and could calmly arrange things for Prince Zhao.
Cao Xi got up on the bed at night and wanted to discuss important matters with Feng Xiaochu.
"Wait a minute." She turned around again, first opened the black lacquered kang cabinet along the wall, and found a white porcelain jar with a round belly.
Her snack jar.
She held the jar and poured out the dried fruits, dates, melon seeds, and raisins that were half on the table.
She ate slurpingly, saying vaguely that she was very hungry: "You eat too. If you have food in your belly, your heart will be stable." This was her experience in the past few days, "If anything happens, let's discuss it."
Feng Xiaochu knew that Cao Xiwan might see that she was having a hard time, so he ate a few dried walnuts and said slowly: "I want to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion to do something. Can you help me find a way?"
"Do you want to go to Yanjing City to work as a hidden stake?" She spat out the melon seed skins in her hands and looked at Feng Xiaochu, because the hidden stakes are expensive?
"...want to follow in the rebellion."
"...Oh. I'm going to find Chen Ming, will you go?" She changed her mind quietly. She felt that Chen Ming could sacrifice his appearance to bring back the rebels who had gone astray.
After all, Chen Ming had to work as an errand for His Majesty because of his yamen meal.
Chen Qianhu's residence is located in Dexingfang, not far from Nankang Hou's residence.
Two squares apart.
Cao Xiwan and Feng Xiaochu both changed their clothes. She put on her unisex green torn jacket over her red brocade jacket. She put her hair into a neat lazy bun, and she disguised herself as a driver.
boy.
Feng Xiaochu was wearing a green brocade coat, tied with her moon-blue silk cloak, and her face was hidden in the windbreaker. She stood on the side of the street, watching Cao Xi, who was a late mater, and hired a mule at the donkey and horse shop.
The car stopped in front of her.
The mule cart moved forward slowly, heading towards Dexingfang.
Cao Xiwan chose the right time to arrive. She immediately saw Chen Baihu going to the Yamen to work.
"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming -" she called softly.
Chen Ming doesn't like to wear flying fish clothes. Except for meeting Shangguan, he always wears black robes when going to the Yamen. The magpie feather fan is still on the jade hook at his waist.
He had breakfast at his favorite wonton stall. While he was drinking soup, someone came over with two fragrant sesame flatbreads. He thought he wanted to share a table with him, but unexpectedly he heard a ghost scream.
"Don't you think Xiao Chen sounds better?" Chen Ming looked up and saw the male waiter Xiao Cao.
She also had a cart whip at hand. Chen Ming took his horse and settled the account: "What can you do, sir?"
"Our young master, let the younger one deliver the message -" Cao Xiwan nodded and bowed to accompany the adults of the hundred households, pretending to be delivering the message for her master. The two of them approached an alley, where her mule cart was parked.
.
Cao Xiwan winked, and Chen Ming walked into the alley with her, muttering behind the car.
The morning sun was rising and slanting in front of the car window. Feng Xiaochu was in the car, looking at the golden sunlight coming in from behind the pea-green curtain, and she sat cross-legged quietly.
