After walking out of the inner court, Liu Yu handed over the brocade handkerchief that Meiren Lin had collected to Qi'er. Qi'er hugged her mother's object and cried for a while. Liu Yu comforted her and said a few words, knowing that her mother was safe, Qi'er was a little relieved.

"Qi'er, go back to sleep. Look at your red eyes, don't wait for your mother to come out. Seeing you like this will make her sad."

Qier Chuchu's eyes felt pity and reluctant to leave, but she nodded and agreed. Before leaving, she turned back three times in one step and felt very affectionate.

After seeing Qi'er go away, Liu Yu asked Han Sheng, "Brother Han, how is the emperor going to deal with this case?"

Han Sheng said helplessly: "This case happened strangely. Now Concubine Yi is unconscious. The palace maids and eunuchs don't know anything about it. I'm afraid it's not good."

"Just no clue is revealed? What poison is there? Where does the poison come from? Is there really no trace?" Liu Yu asked urgently.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, I'm really powerless. This case... is really strange. I can't explain it clearly."

Han Sheng obviously had something to hide. It seemed that he also guessed that the hidden truth behind this case was not simple. If it was really the emperor sent someone to do it, even if there was evidence, who would dare to reveal it?

Liu Yu not only wanted to take care of her daughter for Meiren Lin, but also didn't want her to have something to do. Now Liu Yu has no choice. The best thing is to see how many days the old emperor can live and whether the case can be decided before he dies.

With a lot of depression, he walked to the palace gate and met Qi Fang who came in from outside. It took a long time no see, and Liu Yu almost didn't know Qi Fang when he saw him. Qi Fang had a dark face and was sunbathing in the fields every day, not like his original elegant appearance.

"Brother Qi, long time no see." Liu Yu smiled and bowed.

"Brother Liu, I've seen you. I've been away these days and I've been thinking about you all the time."

"Isn't you worried about me, Isn't you worried about me, a relative in my family?"

Liu Yu joked and asked Qi Fang a few questions. It turned out that after Qi Fang escorted Tang Cai and Gan Mao’s uncle and nephew to Chang'an, the emperor immediately asked Qi Fang to be the deputy general, and directly skipped the general and promoted two levels in a row. He also escorted the uncle and nephew to various places in Chang'an to guide the cultivation of Nanyang Gan, which missed the opportunity to meet.

"Then you should respectfully call Brother Qi General Qi, and you will be your brother-in-law in the future." Liu Yu was also happy for his sister and finally helped her solve the marriage.

Qi Fang sighed, "I'm also blaming my bad luck. I just came back and wanted to propose marriage, but I heard that the Marquis of Dingguo led his troops to the war again and the marriage would be postponed."

Liu Yu comforted him a few words, and Qi Fang was about to rush into the palace to report his job to the emperor, and met in a hurry and said goodbye. Liu Yu was about to leave the palace when an old minister in court robes came towards him, calling "Leader Liu", and then stood still as if waiting for Liu Yu to pass.

Right Prime Minister Yuan Bolang.

A civil servant and a military general have little interaction on weekdays. This time, Liu Yu's mansion invited him to a banquet and he still couldn't come with excuses. When he met at the gate of the palace, he pretended to be an old minister.

Liu Yugong bowed his hand as a greeting, and regarded it as a chance encounter, and ignored him and walked directly out of the palace. Yuan Bolang did not expect that Liu Yu was not aware of the current affairs. Seeing that Liu Yu had walked a long way, he had to chase him.

"President Liu, please stay."

Liu Yu turned around and pretended to be puzzled, "Is there something wrong with the Prince Yuan looking for me?"

Yuan Bolang is an old scholar and has always cared about various etiquette and laws the most. He was a little displeased when he saw Liu Yu speak frivolously. However, after all, Liu Yu is now in charge of the palace defense and is deeply trusted by the emperor, so he could only put aside the idea of ​​preaching.

Yuan Bolang said: "Recently, the palace was closed for the door, leaving only one door in and out. Why is this?"

"It's all the emperor's will. I am also following the emperor's orders to do things. Does Prince Yuan have any objections?"

When asked directly whether he had any objections to the emperor's will or not, Liu Yu was quite ignorant. Yuan Bolang's face sank and said, "Don't think I don't know it's all your idea. Now I'm just here to remind you that there will be some changes in the palace recently. I want to recruit you at any time, so don't be rude!"

Yuan Bolang is reminding him to follow his steps, how could Liu Yu not know? When the emperor is about to change, Yuan Bolang also hopes that he is not a short marshal and that others will not respect him when he speaks.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "I have always been obeying the imperial orders. Why don't you go and ask for the imperial orders and come again!"

"you!"

After all, Yuan Bolang is also an old minister. He disdains to theories of such juniors who are new to the officialdom and do not understand the world. He stared at Liu Yu for a while and then turned to the palace. The Wu Dynasty was about to begin, and the old emperor was seriously ill, and the right prime minister Yuan Bolang was usually the one who presided over the court.

Liu Yu was also quite moved. He originally wanted Yuan Bolang to use it for him, but now Yuan Bolang has recruited him. However, Liu Yu thought carefully, as long as he respected the emperor's order, who would listen to the difference?

The fourth day of August.

A peaceful day. But for Su Yan, this day was not peaceful, it was his wedding day.

But Prince Yu's mansion was deserted, with few guests coming, and most of the seats prepared in the yard were vacant. Even if he gave him face, he was not a high-ranking official in Chang'an City. Because he "break up" with Liu Yu, not only did Liu Yu, the original host, not only did Liu Yu, not even Sui Yi, Li Mi, who were related to Liu Yu, not even Sui Yi and Li Mi, were present.

Liu Yu was sitting alone at home with a glass of wine in front of him. As dusk approached, he raised his glass and drank a glass in the direction of Prince Yu's mansion. He drank a glass of wine that Su Yanjing had come from afar.

Then he put away his thoughts and continued to read the various secret reports submitted by the Imperial Guard spies.

Becoming the official president of the Imperial Guard is equivalent to mastering the secret service agencies of Chang'an City. Many news is not something that Liu Yu could see or know. Some news will be sent to him as soon as possible even if it happened outside the distant Tongguan.

The King of Chu has already returned to Chang'an City with a quick horse. As for the emperor's sudden enlistment, the King of Chu has guessed that the old emperor is going to pass on the throne.

If the five-day horse journey arrives at night, it will only take three days at most.

Three days are too short for Liu Yu. Many things are not clear yet, and they are not ready.

King Su Ren of Jin returned to the capital one early. On the afternoon of the fourth day of August, the emperor sent Yang Lie, the right commander of the Imperial Guard, to catch up with the wind. Su Ren returned to Chang'an City and met the emperor, and then returned home. It seemed that he was resting.

…………

August 5th.

This is the day when Xu Caihua goes out of the house. Of course, for Xu Caihua, who goes on horseback and gets off horse to fight against the cauldron, "getting out of the house" is just a title. She is very different from other wealthy ladies in Chang'an City. Not only does her fiancé Wang Hu know this, but anyone who has heard of Xu Caihua's "Yingwei deeds".

Cheng Yaojin among women is not that easy to mess with.

On this day, not only was Wang Shangshu's mansion very lively, but the vanguard General's mansion also very lively. Because this is Xu Caihua's "mother's home", Xu Caihua's "bridement" is the gate of the vanguard General's mansion.

Because I had to wait until after sunset and dusk to pick up the bride, Xu Caihua wandered around the mansion all day. When I passed by the study, I would say hello to Liu Yu. Liu Yu would look up at her and smile politely. Of course, he had become accustomed to the bride running around everywhere. She used to like to walk back and forth in the mansion.

Liu Yu originally came to attend Xu Caihua's wedding one day on holiday, but the difference between holidays and holidays was very small for Liu Yu, and no one could stop him from entering and leaving the palace.

On this day, the situation became urgent, and news came from the palace. The emperor's condition began to worsen. He could not eat from lunch, so he could only feed porridge and water. The Imperial Hospital was the busiest place.

Liu Yu calculated the days and the King of Chu had not passed Tongguan now. After passing Tongguan, the road ahead would be easier.

It suddenly became lively outside at dusk, and the Wang family’s wedding party arrived.

Xu Xuanzhu came to invite Liu Yu out to watch the ceremony. Liu Yu put all kinds of secret reports in his arms, put the prepared yellow paper into his arms, and witnessed Xu Caihua entering the sedan door with Xu Xuanzhu. Then the wedding team left surrounded by passers-by. Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu also wanted to go back to prepare and go to Wang Jian’s house for a wedding banquet later.

The wedding banquet was similar to the funeral wine. After sending the newlyweds into the bridal chamber, the banquet was over and the family had eaten a banquet to enhance the familiarity. As Xu Caihua's family, Liu Yu, Xu Caihua's "brother-in-law".

"Husband, is there something wrong?" Xu Xuanzhu asked when he saw Liu Yu being absent-minded and kept looking in the direction of the palace.

Liu Yu calmed down and said, "Madam, if it is not bad for the husband to expect, tonight, the weather will change tomorrow morning at the latest."

Xu Xuanzhu smiled gracefully and said, "It's an autumn rain and a cold. I'll ask the maids to prepare some thick clothes."
