() Jiu Ling followed the two to the General's Mansion.

Qi Yuan was frowning all the way, and the people Yin Qingqi recruited casually also made him extremely distressed.

Originally, this trip should not be known to most people, only some people trusted by Qi Yuan can get the news, but in this way, I am afraid that more people will know the itinerary of several people.

The sixth elder brother was about to move in the capital, and news came from the capital that Dong Zhe had been strictly guarded and imprisoned, Qi Yuan changed his attention, if this person stayed, I am afraid it would cause more disputes, thinking of using his hand to take back the military power, but now it seems that it is impossible.

If Dong Zhe is killed in the capital and made public, I am afraid that Qi Yuan will be able to personally take over the remaining army of Dong Zhe and Dong Yu, if he wants to rely on Dong Zhe to convince and beg for mercy, there is no hope at all.

Qi Yuan raised his head and rubbed the corners of his forehead with a somewhat painful expression, and the things in his mind surged like a stream of water that opened the floodgates, making Qi Yuan's heart uneasy.

"You're getting a headache again?" Seeing this, Chang Lei hurriedly brought a cup of tea.

"You go and help me investigate, the maid that Yin Qingqi brought back." Qi Yuan endured the pain and said weakly. "I suspect that Jiu Ling is the sixth child who settled down beside him."

"You're too grassy." Chang Lei shook his head, no wonder, the East Palace is full of people from the Sixth Elder Brother, Qi Yuan is careful, it is reasonable.

"I'll help you investigate, but you have to promise me one thing." Chang Lei looked at Qi Yuan with a sad look on his face, "If Miss Jiuling is really the sixth elder brother's person, you can't blame Yin Qingqi for this matter." ”

"Of course." Qi Yuan didn't know why Chang Lei thought like this. "I don't blame her."

Chang Lei nodded silently, the relationship between the two has been hovering at the freezing point, Chang Lei, as an outsider, naturally does not want to meddle in the affairs of the two, but if it continues, I am afraid that the two will soon fall apart.

Yin Qingqi finished grooming the Jiuling girl in the room, and watched her sleep wrapped in a quilt before she was relieved.

"Sister." Jiu Ling rubbed her eyes and looked at Yin Qingqi with a pair of sleepy eyes, "Sister, where is this?" ”

Jiu Ling hadn't slept well for a few days and nights, and it was inevitable that she would be a little dizzy and couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

"This is the General's Mansion, my boudoir." Yin Qingqi hesitated for a long time before speaking

said, "Miss Jiuling, would you like to go to a place with us?" ”

Jiu Ling sighed, "Sister, where are you talking about?" You bought me, no matter the ends of the world, up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, I have to follow you, besides, you have taken care of me so thoughtfully these days, it's time to repay your kindness. ”

Yin Qingqi nodded, "What if this journey is a bit far?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Jiu Ling smiled at Yin Qingqi, revealing her snow-white teeth.

"Okay, then I'll tell you." Yin Qingqi thought about it, in this way, Peony would not have to follow him, and he would be less monitored by Qi Yuan. "We're going to Nanzhao to find a place."

"Nanzhao?" Jiu Ling's face was happy, "I'm familiar with it!" ”

"How so?" Yin Qingqi's eyes widened, how could she be familiar with that kind of place as a little girl?

"I was originally from Nanzhao, and then I followed my father to do business, and then my family moved to Yangzhou." Jiu Ling explained. "The national capital of Nanzhao is called a place of Fuhua, and the peony flowers that we like most are blooming in Fuhua City."

A touch of emotion appeared on Jiuling's face, after all, it was Jiuling's hometown.

"In that case, have you ever heard of a person named Huo Meng's clan?" Yin Qingqi frowned, it seems that Jiu Ling does know a lot.

"Huo Meng?" Jiu Ling's expression changed slightly, and she was also a little hesitant, "I heard that I have heard of it, but ...... Sister, why are you asking this? ”

"I was poisoned by the Huo Meng clan." Yin Qingqi was blunt, but there was nothing to hide. "Now I go to Nanzhao to seek an antidote."

"Who is so ruthless?" Jiu Ling's eyes widened with a pair of copper bells, and her expression was full of surprise.

Yin Qingqi saw it in his eyes and knew what Jiu Ling must know.

"Miss Jiuling, can you take us there? That way, you don't owe us anything. Yin Qingqi lobbied Jiuling.

Jiu Ling's expression gradually struggled, and it seemed that Nanzhao Fangcai's homesickness had now turned into painful memories.

"That's okay, it's just that I can't guarantee that I can still find the traces of the Huo Meng clan, and besides, the whereabouts of their clan are strange, after a massacre of the village, it is difficult to find them, most of them went to the surrounding states and counties, some people went to Dongying, and few people are in Nanzhao."

"But we have to figure it out." Yin Qingqi sighed, the fear of every night was vivid, the dead wreckage, the painful wail of Concubine Liang, and the picture of Xi Yue being humiliated in the barracks all rushed into his mind, and he woke up sweating profusely, panting and looking at the empty darkness in the room, which also made Yin Qingqi almost collapse.

"Sister, but she was scared by that nightmare?" Jiu Ling asked tentatively.

"How do you know?" Yin Qingqi was also taken aback, she didn't say the symptoms, why did Jiu Ling also know the scene after being poisoned?

Jiu Ling looked around left and right, quietly approached Yin Qingqi, and said in his ear.

"Sister, the people of Nanzhao know more or less about Huo Meng, but because their clan was slaughtered in the village, and now it has become a taboo in Nanzhao, no one wants to have anything to do with them, everyone says that they have done too many evil things to end up like this."

Yin Qingqi looked at Jiu Ling, but didn't notice the trace of evasion and guilt flashing in her eyes.

"Looks like you're going to have to go." Yin Qingqi smiled, with Jiuling leading the way, a few people would not look around like headless flies.

Jiu Ling also acquiesced and agreed to Yin Qingqi's request.

Imperial City, inside the Palace of the Six Elder Brothers.

The sixth elder brother got up early in the morning and went to the harem to say goodbye to his mother.

Concubine Shu is sitting in front of the bronze mirror, combing this makeup, her eyebrows and eyes are full of joy, since Qi Yuan left, this palace has also been much more stable, the commander of the Royal Forest Army has been guarding the Qianxin Palace, except for Gonggong Su, no one is allowed to enter, and Concubine Shu is also happy.

The sixth elder brother came to the East Palace and sat in the lobby with Concubine Shu, eating refreshments.

"Niangniang has been full of red light in the past few days." The sixth elder brother generally drank tea, while scanning the concubine.

It seems that after Qi Yuan left, Concubine Shu was also relieved.

"But Niangniang, now the government is taken care of by me and the superintendent of the imperial history, but I am a little tired, and it is not as easy as you." The sixth elder brother's words made Concubine Shu instantly nervous.

"What do you mean by that?" Concubine Shu looked at it coldly, knowing that the sixth elder brother was testing herself.

"Since ancient times, there have been no women in power, but Niangniang, it's not impossible to do so." The sixth elder brother smiled and touched the wrench on his hand.

"What do you say?"
