Thousands of miles away in Linzi, in the pepper room of the royal palace lingering in the fragrance and warm as spring, Mrs. Zishuo is holding her breath and listening attentively to the secret report from her subordinates.Her long eyebrows, which were dyed black, were tightly frowned, and behind the veil, a pair of beautiful blue eyes could not help but twinkle, like a pair of vigilant kingfishers.Hearing this, he hesitated and said, "Could it be that after Xianying's judgment, his trust in Shen Yuzhu has not been shaken at all?"

"Ma'am, don't be discouraged!" Seeing her anxious expression, Madam Zishuo's confidant persuaded her kindly: "Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is inevitable that they will take root and grow. At present, Shen Yuzhu is still useful, and Luo Yi's Even if you have doubts about Chengfu's disposition, you will not act rashly at this juncture, as long as you give it time..."

"Time! Time!" Mrs. Zishuo scolded impatiently, "What I lack most now is time! How long can Zhong Lichun's edict stop him? Don't you think I don't know? In the streets and alleys of Linzi City Among them, there was an uproar, everyone was praising him for his great achievements in defeating the enemy and saving the country, and even talked about the past of Duke Huan's posthumous child! Even people from Chaowen and Wu were persecuted and came to my place frequently to inquire about Luo Yi's life experience—— "

Previously when the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi, the army was in turmoil, and the royal family was forced to flee in a hurry due to the attack, and lived in a corner. Mrs. Zi Shuo didn't notice that Luo Yi secretly planted people and gradually infiltrated the kingdom, running around to build momentum.The purpose of recommending Luo Yi as the general was to take advantage of the flames of war besieged by foreign enemies and the wind of Zhong Lichun's suspicion to burn these two confidantes into ashes together.Unexpectedly, instead of being burned to death, Luo Yifei took advantage of the situation to rise to nirvana, and suddenly became the most respected figure in the Qi Kingdom, forcing her to be restrained everywhere and extremely passive.

Mrs. Zishuo didn't want to think about it any further, and quickly ordered: "You immediately send more people to welcome Lu! As long as they can reach Linzi before Luo Yi returns, we still have a chance..."

Before the words were finished, some palace servants rushed into the palace in small steps with a panicked expression. Before they could tell, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Ma'am, will——"

Mrs. Zishuo was at the moment of frustration, and she became more and more furious after being disturbed. Her black eyebrows and vermilion lips sparkled in one place, and she sternly reprimanded: "You bastard who doesn't know the rules——"

The conversation stopped abruptly in the middle, and the congestion was stuck in the throat.Mrs. Zishuo's eyes widened slightly unconsciously, staring in astonishment at the tall figure stepping in front of the palace door, her lips and teeth trembling, before she could react.

The man in front of me was followed by several stalwart attendants, who walked up to her with a smile on his face, and said, "Mother, are you here all right?"——that smile and etiquette that are always irreproachable no matter what state of mind is exactly the same as hers His blue eyes——if it wasn't Luo Yi, who was supposed to be on the front line, who couldn't return, who was it?

It turned out that in order to avoid persecution by people with ulterior motives, Luo Yi stayed on the front line to rest and reorganize the army, pretending to prepare for the affairs of envoy to Yan, and secretly divided his troops into multiple routes, ordered elites, took small routes, and drove straight to the capital Linzi.Within five days, he took the lead in visiting the annex where Mrs. Zishuo was temporarily staying.

When Mrs. Zishuo saw Luo Yi's calm expression and actions as usual, she felt even more frightened and frightened. She forced a smile and said, "My good boy, you...you're all right!"

Luo Yi smiled slightly, sat down in front of her, and said with a leisurely smile, "That's right, if my mother hadn't invited a famous doctor to treat me and prescribe a prescription, how could I be cured of this chronic illness?"

Mrs. Zishuo's face changed slightly, and she said with a sneering smile: "This is really serious..."

Luo Yi said coldly: "Where is the emphasis? My mother clearly paid a lot of money to invite Xianying to come and see my old illness, but deliberately made Xianying pretend to be an accidental and unintentional act. She didn't want to take credit for her good deeds. The child was so grateful and deeply impressed. Inside!"

Mrs. Zishuo stared slightly, stunned and dazed, and subconsciously said: "Xianying is indeed not someone I sent to you..." As soon as the words came out, she felt that the words were empty and could not win people's trust, but they were carried out I was indifferent to Luo Yi's old illness and left it to death, so I simply kept my mouth shut.She was startled by Luo Yi who came unexpectedly, she was in a panic, and after a short pause, she quickly calmed down.She concluded in her heart that Luo Yi came to visit in casual clothes, and there must be something for her, and she changed into her usual gentle and soothing expression, and said with a smile: "My good boy, you and I are of the same mind, we are both prosperous and wealthy, and we are all damaged. You fought bloody battles on the front line, I am praying for you day and night in the rear, blood is thicker than water, love is naturally natural, what kind of 'goodness' can you talk about?"

Luo Yi saw that her expression was natural and her words were hot, and she couldn't help but feel evil in her heart, a sarcasm smile appeared on her lips, she nodded and said: "What a 'blood is thicker than water', what a 'one prosperous, all prosperous, one damaged'— -The mother has such insights, the child is really happy, it just so happens that the child returns to Linzi this time, and specially prepared a small gift for the mother, presumably it will teach the mother to be kind and joyful—"

Just as he was speaking, the accompanying guards who accompanied him silently behind him came forward with a nanmu brocade box in his hand, and put it on top of the table.Luo Yi respectfully cupped his hands in front of Mrs. Zishuo's lap, and said with a smile, "Mother, please accept."

Mrs. Zishuo stared at the beautifully carved box, feeling ominous, and couldn't hold back her hesitation, she stretched out her hand and lifted the ribbon, and opened the wooden box. Shouting in shock, he threw the wooden box away with the wrong hand—the wooden box fell to the ground, and a pale-faced head rolled out!

The guards of the palace were alarmed, and they were about to step forward to question him, but they were frightened by Luo Yi's entourage staring at him fiercely with their swords, and they didn't dare to make any moves.Looking at Mrs. Zishuo again, Huarong stared palely at the bloody young head at his feet, his green eyes were filled with despair rather than fear.

Before Luo Yiduan sat in the case, he asked coldly, "Mother, who is this?"

Mrs. Zishuo raised a snow-white catkin and covered her eyes lightly, sobbing and choked up: "You are scaring people with this dirty thing, but you still ask me!"

Luo Yi sneered, stood up long, grabbed the severed headknot and lifted it in front of Mrs. Zishuo.Mrs. Zishuo was pressed against her nose by the bloody and stinking head, her complexion turned pale in an instant, and she turned her face away.Luo Yi said calmly: "It's okay if mother doesn't know her. I'll introduce her to you. This is Gongsun Qian, the grandson of Duke Huan's elder brother, Gong Zijiu. Back then, Gongzi Jiu and Duke Huan failed to compete for the throne of Qi, so he was stranded in the State of Lu. After Duke Huan succeeded to the throne, he exerted pressure on the State of Lu. The State of Lu executed Prince Jiu to avoid disaster. However, the descendants of Prince Jiu remained in the State of Lu. The current Wukui is the last heir of Duke Huan of Qi. In terms of etiquette and order, this yellow-haired child far away in a foreign country has become the most legitimate candidate for the successor of Qi Jun——Mother! You are planning for Gongsunqian to return to the country. Could it be that you have other plans for the child? ?”

Mrs. Zishuo's plot was exposed, her lips turned white, but she was speechless.Luo Yi said coldly: "Mother, you taught me that those who know current affairs are heroes. Zhong Lichun's power has not yet been defeated, and all the countries are even more eyeing on the Qi State, which is still in war.

, now you and I will benefit both if we cooperate, and harm if we separate. With a little knowledge, you can distinguish the pros and cons—presumably, you will be able to take care of yourself. "

Luo Yi didn't want to stay by her side for another moment, so he stood up and led his followers away after finishing his words.Only Mrs. Zishuo was left sitting on one side, clutching her chest tightly, staring at Young Master Qian's head in horror.That youthful and beautiful face became dull and gray, like a painting of a beautiful woman soaked in sewage.
