Mrs. Chen took her son and moved into a small courtyard not far from the Yang family's back house. The courtyard she pointed out to the seventh brother was the one where Li Wenlan had lived before. In just half a day, the mother-in-law, nurse, and other girls were there.

The servants sorted everything out and found out what they were looking for. At a glance, they saw that they were the best things.

Mrs. Chen and Aunt Bai were both surprised and worried. They didn't know whether this was a good thing or sweet at first and then bitter.

After Chen and Qi Geer had tidied up the two courtyards, it was dark and Li Xuezhang returned to the house.

Mrs. Chen inquired about the master's return and hurriedly held her son in her arms to invite him.

Li Xuezhang returned to the house, but did not return to his own courtyard. He first said that in the study, Mrs. Chen knew the rules. When the master was in the study, it was a big deal, and he could not be disturbed no matter what.

Later, she said that in the madam's courtyard, Mrs. Chen hesitated again and again and did not dare to go there. She did not dare to go to see the madam until she saw the master. She did not dare to see the madam until she heard what he said.

She has moved in now, I'm afraid Madam doesn't know yet.

After waiting for an hour, I saw a few lanterns getting closer and closer, and the master was back.

Mrs. Chen was so excited that she almost cried. She hurriedly hugged her son and rushed towards him. She saw clearly that he was really the master. She didn't even say "master". Her throat was choked and tears started pouring down her eyes.

She was frightened for a while, and her feeling of grievance and helplessness was beyond words.

Li Xuezhang frowned and looked at Mrs. Chen who was holding her son and crying into tears, and her seventh brother who was sleeping soundly in Mrs. Chen's arms. He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. His wife's anger finally passed.

"Master, you are back. Bao'er and I have been waiting for you for an hour or two. When we heard that you were back, Bao'er and I have been waiting. Master, Bao'er has lost a lot of weight and is crying every day.

Dad." Mrs. Chen held back her tears, took a half step forward, and gestured to her son in her arms.

"I understand. Take good care of Bao'er. If anything happens, go and ask Madam for instructions. It's so late and Bao'er has fallen asleep. Don't wait for me next time." Li Xuezhang was running around outside.

One day, he was so exhausted that he really wasn't in the mood to pay attention to these trivial matters at home.

Li Xuezhang passed Mrs. Chen and went straight to the courtyard gate. Mrs. Chen held the child in her arms and stared blankly at Li Xuezhang, whose brows had not relaxed from the beginning to the end. Half of the surprise was gone, and in addition to the uneasiness, there was panic.

Li Xuezhang was really in no mood to care about anything in this house.

As soon as he came out of the Xu Mansion, he received the report. In the morning, a series of decrees were issued:

Because of the Xiong family's property seizure case, Chen Jiang was ordered to raid the Zhao Mansion.

Because of the case of Yang Chengzhi, the magistrate of Ji County, a decree was issued to arrest Luo Yuanhang and bring him to Beijing.

Because of King Qin's impeachment, the famine in Jianghuai and Zhejiang was a man-made disaster, so a decree was issued to seize Xie Yucheng and bring him to the capital for interrogation.

Zhao Changhai fell ill and was already on the plea list. Su Guangyi was also on the plea petition, and it was he who recommended Xie Yucheng to take up the post of Liangzhe Road.

To the members of the imperial court, these two incidents were no less than a major earthquake. To Li Xuezhang, they were like thunderbolts from the sky, which struck him whole body black.

How could he be in any other mood?

In Changsha Palace, Guo Sheng stood in the shadow outside the corner door, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer inside the corner door. The corner door opened, and the old servant Zhang Xian beside Jin Xiang poked his head in. Guo Sheng ducked in, and Zhang Xian locked the door.

, took Guo Sheng, along the shadow of the trees, towards the Jinxiangyuan.

Jin Xiang was talking to Mrs. Min in the upper room. Zhang Xian reported, and Jin Xiang raised the curtain and came out. He raised his hand to let Guo Sheng pass and went to the side room next to him.

Guo Sheng glanced at Mrs. Min's figure in the upper room, took a few steps closer, bowed slightly and crossed the threshold, bowed to Prime Minister Jin and said, "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Prime Minister."

"You're welcome. Did the princess ask you to come?" Jin Xiang motioned for Guo Sheng to sit down.

Guo Sheng leaned forward and sat down, "Yes. The princess said that if the emperor agrees to Zhao Changhai's resignation, the prince will be fine."

Jin Xiang hummed, he thought so too.

"What the princess wants is that if the position of Prime Minister is vacant, firstly, it is better to leave this vacancy to Su Guangyi, and secondly, Wang Funian, the former Hangzhou magistrate who has been newly transferred to the capital, can be transferred to Duzhi as deputy envoy."

Guo Sheng put his hands on his knees and sat down with his body bent, his attitude was respectful, but his words were straightforward.

Jin Xiang frowned slightly, "The Third Secretary Envoy is of great importance... Can Wang Funian take on the responsibility?"

"Since the princess has said so, she must be able to bear the responsibility." Guo Sheng leaned over and smiled.

Jin Xiang showed a bit of surprise, "The parrot admires you very much and says that you are the only one he has ever met. Privy Bai also admires you very much. He said that he invited you to join his sect, but you refused?"

"Yes, at that time, I had already surrendered to the princess." After a pause, Guo Sheng looked at Jin Xiang and said with a smile, "Even if I had not surrendered to the princess, I would not agree. Privy Bai is indeed a rare good general, but

…”

Guo Sheng did not say anything else and only laughed twice.

A good general is a good general, but if he wants to be included in the plot, he doesn't have much regard for him.

"That was many years ago. You fell in love with the princess very early?" Jin Xiang was a little surprised.

"Yes, when I was in Hangzhou, I was under the command of the princess." Guo Sheng answered very cheerfully.

Jin Xiang was a little shocked, "Hangzhou time?"

"Yes. Prime Minister, although there are so-called extraordinary people with extraordinary talents, they are rare, but they still exist. I admire the Queen Mother's wisdom and sharpness of vision very much."

"Okay, I understand." Jin Xiang was stunned for a moment and immediately responded.

"I'm taking my leave." Guo Sheng quickly stood up, lowered his hands, took two steps back, and walked out.

Jin Xiang stayed there for a while, then entered the upper room through the secret door connecting the side room and the upper room.

Mrs. Min leaned over from the kang and looked at him, "What's wrong? Is nothing wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. It's the princess. Please ask someone to come over and deliver a message." Jin Xiang sat opposite Mrs. Min.

"Is the princess okay?" Mrs. Min looked at Jin Xiang's expression carefully. This sentence expressed concern for both her wife and Princess Qin.

"It's okay, I'm talking about the Third Secretary Envoy." Jin Xiang raised his hand and rubbed his brow, "Guo Sheng said that when he came from Hangzhou City, he followed the princess's family."

"Guo Sheng? He came to Li's house... At that time, the princess was only five or six years old, and the five or six-year-old child..." Old Mrs. Min's words stopped abruptly, she stayed for a while, and sighed softly, "This is the story of ghosts and gods.

thing."

"I think so too." Jin Xiang leaned back on the pillow and looked at Mrs. Min with a faint smile, "First of all, Queen Mother Li is such a person."

"Ah?" Mrs. Min was surprised.

"The notes left by Mrs. Gu's wife said that when Empress Dowager Li arrived at the Gu family, that is, when she was five or six years old, she told the ancestor of the Gu family about important court affairs. Mrs. Gu's wife also said that the Queen Mother

When Zu was very young, Queen Mother Li worried about her more than once, fearing that Taizu would follow her."

Jin Xiang laughed and said, "My ancestor was so talented. It is said that my ancestor was four or five years old. The late Empress Dowager Li once rejoiced. Fortunately, he was stupid."
