People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

After listening to Pei Lan's statement, Liu Jinzhong was pleasantly surprised, and confirmed to her again and again, "Are you sure you heard it right?"

Pei Lan said firmly: "I swear to the sky, this servant, I haven't heard a single word."

"Okay, okay..." The thing came too suddenly. Fortunately, Liu Jinzhong has seen many storms and waves in the palace for many years, and he can still maintain his composure at this moment. report. Also, the thing I asked you to do..."

"Elder-in-law, don't worry, even if there is no maidservant, Concubine Yuan and Concubine Shu still don't like each other. The maidservant added fuel and jealousy today, and the two empresses are too lazy to do superficial work, and they can quarrel face to face."

Liu Jinzhong nodded approvingly, "You have done a good job. After the work is done, our family will never forget your hard work."

Pei Lan said happily, "Thank you, Eunuch."

Liu Jinzhong walked into the Hall of Qinzheng with the snacks sent by Zhaoren Palace, and saw that the emperor and Master Xie were still talking, so he waited patiently outside.

"Half an hour ago, I received a secret report from Prince Duan from Cangzhou. Princess Huiyang was taken away in Cangzhou on the [-]th." Song Yanche said.

Xie Ji said with a serious expression: "Prince Duan and the princess and his party are guarded by General Xiaoyu and the imperial guards. How could someone kidnap the princess so easily?"

Song Yanche handed Xie Ji a melody, "You can read it yourself."

Xie Ji read it at a glance, and said: "The minister and the prince have the same opinion. Only the enemy's spies can set up such a delicate game. The king of Bei'an is in the northern border, and he has fought with the Beiliang army many times. Let him track down the situation. It's the most appropriate thing."

"really."

Xie Ji saw that the Holy Majesty seemed to have doubts, and said again: "The king of Bei'an has guarded the border for many years. He is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and fulfills his duties. The emperor does not need to worry."

Song Yanche smiled softly, "Aiqing is right, I was too worried. The disappearance in Huiyang County will be handed over to King Bei'an to assist Prince Rui in the investigation, and Princess Huiyang must be brought back unscathed."

"Your Majesty is wise."

After talking in secret for a long time, Song Yanche was a little tired, "I have one more thing that I want to leave to Xie Aiqing to handle."

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

"Floods in Huainan occurred frequently last year, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and homeless. I once allocated 500 million taels of silver from the treasury for disaster relief. However, I just received a letter from Huainan Mizuo, the five million taels of silver seems to have not been fully utilized."

Xie Ji frowned, "Is there such a thing? The household department..."

"Duan Changfeng didn't know about this, or he knew but never told me." After Song Yanche finished speaking, he closed his eyes, trying to suppress the sudden dizziness.Seeing this, Xie Ji hurriedly said, "I hope the emperor will take good care of the dragon's body."

Song Yanche waved his hand, and forced himself to finish speaking, "I want you to go to Huainan to investigate this case, and let me know whose pocket the silver in the treasury went to."

Xie Ji said solemnly: "The minister will definitely live up to the great trust of the emperor."

"The other party is in the dark, but you are in the open. You must keep a low profile during this trip, so as not to startle the enemy, make the other party jump the wall in a hurry, and cause death. I will also send Tianjiying to accompany you to protect you."

"Sir, obey the order."

After Xie Ji left, Liu Jinzhong walked in, "Your Majesty, this is the crystal cake sent by Concubine Shu."

The crystal cake is crystal clear, white and smooth.Shen Manan arranged it in the shape of a plum blossom, and there was a real plum blossom dotted with white snow in the middle, which was indeed Linglong's thought.

Song Yanche gave a dispensable "Yes".

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing." Liu Jinzhong said cautiously, "Pei Lan from Qingxi Palace just came to report that Concubine Yuan's aunt and younger sister entered the palace today, and she...heard some strange things."

After Liu Jinzhong finished speaking, he looked at Song Yanche tremblingly.There was no joy or anger on Song Yanche's face. He picked up the plum blossoms on the plate, and his smile bloomed like snow, "I didn't expect that a fox demon might not necessarily be a woman. A male fox demon..." can also do that Bright and enchanting.

Liu Jinzhong couldn't fathom his thoughts.He has served His Majesty for many years, and he has never seen him favoring any man. He always thought that His Majesty was not manly, but now it seems...

Song Yanche stared at the plum blossom in his hand, lost his mind for a moment, and said, "Where is he now?"

"Back to the emperor, the second son of the Xu family is a staff officer under General Xiao Yu's command. Not long ago, he followed General Xiao Yu to escort the princess to the north." Liu Jinzhong said, "Your Majesty, do you want this old servant to send someone to bring him back to the capital?"

Song Yanche shook his head lightly, "Since I'm a man, I'm afraid I have to spend more time. Just like this plum blossom, if you want to pick it, you should take it slowly and let him be willing...to escape to my body." He played with the plum blossom. Hongmei smiled lightly, "Send a few people to follow him, I want to know what he said, what he did, and even... what he thought every day."

"The old slave understands. Your Majesty, what about Concubine Xu Yuan?" Liu Jinzhong didn't expect that Xu Qingyang would put him in the same position when he first went to the Xu Mansion. If the Holy Majesty didn't have other uses for her, he might fall with her. head off.Thinking of this, Liu Jinzhong couldn't help sweating.

Song Yanche clenched his palm tightly, and the red plum withered instantly in his palm, and said calmly: "Let's save her life for now, maybe it will be of some use."

It took a total of seven days from sending out the secret note to getting a reply.In the past seven days, Yu Rongbei has turned Cangzhou upside down, but he still hasn't found Princess Huiyang.Today's Cangzhou is sealed off every day. Unless there is an order from Prince Rui, no one can leave the city. If they want to enter the city, they have to accept a strict search by the guards.

Most of Song Yanqing's men were dispatched to find Princess Huiyang, while Yu Rongbei only left a few confidants in the camp outside the city.Song Yanqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief knowing that King Bei'an would send someone to support him soon.It has been eight days since Princess Huiyang was taken away. The longer the time dragged on, the less guaranteed her safety would be.Yu Rongbei was busy looking for someone, but Wu Buyu had no new news for a long time. Although Song Yanqing was impatient, he had nothing to do, so he could only vent his depression by bickering with Xu Xilu.

At noon, the two had dinner together, and Xu Xilu put down his chopsticks after two mouthfuls, saying that he was fat-prone and that eating too much would make his waist thicker.Song Yanqing subconsciously looked at his waist, only to feel that the waist was full of grip, even the dancer she saw in Cangzhou not long ago was inferior to him, so she regarded him as farting, and threatened and lured him to finish a bowl of rice.Although Xu Xilu succumbed to his lust, he was forced to do so. After eating, his complexion was not very good, and he didn't speak to Song Yanqing, and Song Yanqing naturally spoke truthfully.Later, Xu Xilu left the tent on the pretext of going out to eat and drink, and has not returned yet.

Originally, Song Yanqing thought that this person would leave as soon as he wanted, and he would be clean after leaving.But this hour has passed, but there is still no sign of him, and now the situation outside is not clear, what if the enemy spy thinks that the captured Princess Huiyang is not beautiful enough, and then takes a fancy to Xu Xilu.The more Song Yanqing thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was inappropriate. She even imagined the scene where Xu Xilu was being tortured in a small dark room and tried to call her name. After opening it, Xu Xilu walked in with a chill in his body. He had been outside for a long time, his face and ears were red from the cold, but his expression seemed relaxed and comfortable.

Song Yanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but frowned tightly, "Where did you go? You came back so late."

Xu Xilu smiled, as if he had forgotten the displeasure at noon, he took Song Yanqing's hand, and said cheerfully: "My lord, follow me quickly."

The two of them went out of the tent together, and it snowed for several days in succession, leaving only a vast expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth, the snow had already reached the ankles, and they would stumble and fall if they were not careful.Xu Xilu took two steps, and stretched out his hand towards Song Yanqing, "My lord, be careful."

Song Yanqing held Xu Xilu's hand with a displeased face.In this world of ice and snow, his hands were unexpectedly warm.The two walked hand in hand, Xuan Mo followed behind them alone, suddenly felt that he was a bit redundant.

After walking for almost half an hour, even Song Yanqing, who was leading the beauty by the hand, was a little impatient, "Where are you going to take this king?"

"It's almost here, little prince, just hold on."

Unknowingly, they walked into a mountain.The bare branches were covered with silver bars, and the surrounding was silent, only the footsteps of the three of them could be heard.After another half a stick of incense had passed, Xu Xilu stopped, "My lord, we're here."

"This is..." Song Yanqing looked at the steaming spring in front of him, showing a bright light under the sunlight and snow, "Tangquan?"

"En. Do you still remember the hot spring in Biezhuang? It seems to be the spring water imported from here." Xu Xilu let go of Song Yanqing's hand, walked to the spring, held a pool of spring water in his hand, and said with satisfaction: " So warm."

Song Yanqing couldn't help walking beside him, looked down at the crystal-clear spring water, stretched out her hand, and said, "Indeed."

"My lord has worked so hard for Princess Huiyang recently, and even his temper is much more irritable than before."

Song Yanqing retorted: "This king didn't..."

Xu Xilu smiled, "Why don't you just soak in the hot spring here to wash away your fatigue and warm your body, wouldn't it be nice?"

It has to be said that this proposal is extremely attractive to Song Yanqing who has worked hard for several days. "What about you?" Song Yanqing asked, "Do you want to be with me?"

Xu Xilu said truthfully: "It's not..."

Song Yanqing snorted coldly: "Come on, you clearly look like you really want to take a hot spring with me. If that's the case, I will reluctantly agree."

"Then... okay." Xu Xilu didn't hesitate, since they were both men anyway, and it wasn't the first time they took a bath together, so it wouldn't be a big deal to take a hot spring together.

Trembling, the two took off their fox fur and coat, leaving only their inner coat. Xu Xilu walked into the bath first, and then turned around to help Song Yanqing in.When the whole body was submerged in the pool water, both of them sighed.Soaking in the hot spring pool, you can look up at the blue sky, surrounded by silver, and when you look up, you can only see the whiteness.Song Yanqing felt that the exhaustion of many days was swept away, and Xu Xilu also closed his eyes quietly enjoying the moment.Xuan Mo stood by the pool, leaning against a big tree, the snowflakes on the branches fell on his shoulders and wet his clothes.Seeing this, Xu Xilu said enthusiastically, "Xuan Mo, do you want to have a dip too?"

Xuan Mo resolutely refused, and moved aside again, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

Song Yanqing was very satisfied with Xuan Mo's answer. Looking at Xu Xilu's smoky cheeks, he suddenly felt dry lips and walked towards him unconsciously.
