Through a wall, Yu Jiu could clearly hear the conversation between Fang Wujiu and Wen Jiucheng.

He greeted the guards in the death row, and signaled them to keep a close eye on the people in the prison, then he turned around and left the death row, and took a carriage to Zizai Temple.

At this time, there was a little light in the sky, and there were people who got up early on the street and rushed to the market with their loads, wanting to take advantage of the few people in the market to occupy a good position.

When the carriage of the Sheriff's Mansion galloped by, these commoners stepped aside one after another, keeping a distance from the carriage as much as possible, so as not to be rubbed by the carriage.

Yu Jiu's carriage entered Zizai Temple through the back door.

Since the effect of Huarong Gu has not yet disappeared, Yu Jiu still looks like Mrs. Jian at this time.

But for the convenience of movement, he was wearing men's clothes at this time, and his hair was also tied on the top of his head and fixed with a bun.

He jumped out of the car and went straight to the bedroom where the old fairy lived.

A few Taoist priests met Yu Jiu on the road, and they were not surprised at all. Instead, they greeted him respectfully and called him Young Master Jiu.

The old fairy has already got up, and he is sitting on the soft couch with his eyes closed and meditating.

Seeing Yu Jiu coming, the old god slightly raised his slack eyelids and asked slowly. .

"Caught it?"

Yu Jiu put away all wantonness in front of him, and became extra obedient and honest.

He bowed to the old god: "Report to father, we have captured him, and he is now locked in death row."

Old Immortal: "Two people from the Taoist sect collapsed in Fufeng City one after another, which will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion."

Yu Jiu asked cautiously: "Are we going to do it in advance?"

The old fairy raised his right hand and stroked his snow-white beard slowly.

"That child hasn't been born yet, without him, we would be born without a name."

Yu Jiu: "Didn't you already prepare the medicine to induce labor?"

The old god sighed, with a compassionate expression: "The medicine is extremely harmful to the pregnant woman and the child. Even if the child is born early with the medicine, his health will become very poor. If unfortunately he dies prematurely, then we Wouldn't all my hard work be in vain? Let's wait a little longer."

Yu Jiu nodded: "I know."

Old Immortal: "I will find something to divert the emperor's attention. I won't be able to notice the small movements in Fufeng City for the time being. You must strengthen your vigilance during this time, and don't let suspicious people enter the city again."

"Here."

...

Seeing that the end of the year is getting closer, the people in Shengjing City have started to buy new year's goods.

The palace is also busier than usual, and all the palaces are sorting out the accounts for this year. According to the usual practice, the palace has to check the accounts every year, so as to prevent someone from enriching their own pockets and shortfalling public funds.

The person in charge of checking the accounts is generally the queen.

But now there is no queen in the palace, so the noble concubine can only preside over this matter.

For the past two days, Xixi has been a little restless. She is not in the mood to take care of those trivial matters, so she simply pushes everything out and leaves it to Baoqin and Zhezhi to deal with it.

Today she followed Luo Qinghan to the imperial study as usual.

Luo Qinghan and the courtiers were discussing political affairs, Xiao Xixi was lying on the soft and comfortable bed as usual, but couldn't fall asleep anyway.

There was always a feeling of uneasiness in her heart.

It was an uneasy foreboding.

And her hunches were always accurate.

Xiao Xixi lifted the quilt and sat up, and began to count the time with her fingers. It has been less than half a month since the second brother Wen Jiucheng and Shang Kui went to Fufeng City.

In the past half a month, she has not received any news from the second senior brother.

Could it be that the reason why she was uneasy was because something happened to the second senior brother and Shang Kui?

Xiao Xixi wanted to make a fortune for the second senior brother, but given her current physical condition, if she did the fortune telling now, she would probably fall into a coma again, and Luo Qinghan would definitely be annoyed that she didn't cherish her body again.

She thought seriously with a sullen face, and finally decided to tell Luo Qinghan the truth.

She wanted to explain to him the seriousness of the matter. She believed that Luo Qinghan was not the kind of person who couldn't tell the difference. This matter was related to the safety of the second senior brother. Luo Qinghan should understand her.

Just then, she heard an exclamation from outside.

"The Thousand Islands really sent troops?!"

Xiao Xixi recognized that it was the voice of one of the cabinet ministers.

Followed by Luo Qinghan's voice, his voice is deep and cold, very recognizable.

"I have received a secret report from Babaili urgently.

According to the secret report, the Thousand Islands have dispatched nearly a hundred ships.

Those ships from the Thousand Islands plundered our Dasheng merchant ships at sea and killed all the Dasheng people on board.

And those ships are rapidly approaching Wanhai City.

Calculating the time, they should be near the port of Wanhai City by now, maybe the two sides have already started a war. "

As soon as this remark came out, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

The cabinet ministers knew that this matter was no small matter. Wanhai City was an important port for their maritime trade. Once it was captured, it would cause huge losses to the court.

More importantly, this battle is related to the face of the Dasheng Dynasty.

As a great country, they are now being bullied by a small thousand-island country. If they can't fight back forcefully, other countries will treat them as useless bastards in the future!

The cabinet ministers immediately had heated discussions on who should send troops to assist Wanhai City, and the specific plan for maritime operations.

The discussion continued until late at night.

Luo Qinghan got up and walked to the inner room.

He thought Xixi had fallen asleep, but he didn't expect that she was sitting on the soft couch in a daze.

Luo Qinghan was quite surprised: "Why didn't you sleep?"

Xiao Xixi sighed: "I want to sleep, but I can't."

Luo Qinghan was even more surprised: "There are still times when you can't fall asleep?"

Xiao Xixi defended herself solemnly: "I am also a human being, of course I also have times when I am disturbed by my mind and cannot sleep."

Luo Qinghan: "Isn't the only thing that can hinder your sleep in this world is a hungry stomach?"

Xiao Xixi: "..."

It doesn't have to be so straightforward.

Xiao Xixi hummed: "Why don't you ask me what's on my mind?"

Luo Qinghan sat down beside her, put his arms around her waist, and asked following her words.

"What's on your mind?"

Xiao Xixi: "It's been half a month since my second senior brother went to Fufeng City to look for his senior brother, and he hasn't come back yet. I'm worried that something happened to him."

Luo Qinghan knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song: "Do you want to make a fortune for your second senior brother?"

"Well, I wonder if he's all right now."

A flattering smile appeared on Xiao Xixi's face, she tugged at Luo Qinghan's sleeve and shook it lightly, begging in a soft voice.

"I'm really worried about the safety of the second senior brother, so worried that I can't sleep, can you let me do a divination for the second senior brother? Just one divination is enough, okay?"

Luo Qinghan gently caressed her cheek, and whispered two words.

"not good."
