Shui Miao dismissed the memories in her mind and concentrated on driving the carriage. Chunmei was chattering beside her, driving away the sadness in her heart.

On the other side, Qi Yan and Qi Yi returned to the Hou Mansion to clean up and wash up, and called the doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Fortunately, it was not a powerful poison, and the doctor was also capable. He made a prescription, boiled the concoction and drank it, Qi Yan was immediately stunned. Feeling better.

He did not dare to delay any longer and entered the palace immediately.

In the Imperial Study Room, Qi Yan knelt on one knee, holding the memorial in his hands above his head, and recounted the military situation in the South.

"...In addition, I was assassinated on my way back. I suspect it is related to the spy I caught before."

Eunuch Zhang took the memorial and handed it to the emperor. The emperor looked at the contents with deep eyes: "Is there anything you have to confess?"

Qi Yan knew that the emperor wanted to know whether Xi Zuo was directly related to someone. Unfortunately, "Your Majesty, he is just a pawn and there is no direct evidence. I sent people to guard the family where he confessed. The other party was too cautious and must have noticed it." What, abandoning careful work?"

The emperor was a little regretful, but he also knew that this matter could not be rushed. "Well, you should always pay attention. Even if the opponent retreats quickly, there should be some clues left behind. As long as there are clues, you can always catch the opponent's tail."

Qi Yan: "Yes."

Afterwards, they had a detailed discussion about the matter in the south before returning to the mansion for a banquet.

Qi Yan finished his official duties in the study, picked up the military book and read it. Somehow, he always thought of Shui Miao's eyes in the ruined temple. He always felt that the other person's eyes seemed to have been seen somewhere before, but he couldn't remember, and he frowned unconsciously. wrinkled up.

"Master," Xiao Liuzi's voice rang outside the study.

Qi Yan: "Come in."

Xiao Liuzi saluted and said with a smile, "Young Master is getting better and better after not seeing you for so long." Xiao Liuzi is Qi Yan's servant. They grew up together, they were playmates and bookboys, and they are loyal to Qi Yan.

When Qi Yan went to the southern military camp, he left him in the capital to pay attention to the news in the capital, so that he would not become blind after not returning to the capital for a long time, especially since he was the prince of Zhennan who had military power.

Of course, very private and important information is not something that Xiao Liuzi can find out.

Qi Yan: "Okay, stop flattering me and tell me what happened in the capital recently."

Xiao Liuzi's expression suddenly became serious: "Prime Minister Su's eldest son has basically established a firm foothold in the Ministry of Personnel. Now he is a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel. The Minister of the Ministry of War retired and returned to his hometown. Now General Xu Pingshan's uncle Xu Shengwu is appointed the Minister of the Ministry of War... Ah, I heard that the second young lady of the Shui family who entered the palace was looking for some birth formula. This servant’s cousin said this while chatting with the purchasing boy of the Shui family. There is nothing else. "

The last piece of news was purely because he knew that his eldest son had always been like this. No matter how big or small the news was, whether it was insignificant or not in his opinion, he had to know that his eldest son was smart, just in case it was really useful.

Qi Yan listened to what Xiao Liuzi said and roughly understood what arrangements the emperor had made. When he heard about the Shui family, his expression was startled. He remembered that the eyes of the man in the ruined temple were not the same as those of Shui. Is the look Miao looked at him the same?

When he looked back many years ago, he never wanted to see Shui Miao's focused and calm eyes. At that time, he probably wanted to see other expressions on her face. He knew that many women would be obsessed with his smile, so he smiled. , before she could wait, she was called back by the people around her. He still doesn't know if her expression changed at that time.

Later he learned Shui Miao's name. Not long after Shui Miao entered the palace, he also lost news about her and gradually forgot about her.

The last time he heard about her was when Xiao Liuzi told him about the events in the capital when he was in the south.

Could the person in the ruined temple be Shui Miao?

He was a little annoyed. Why didn't he remember it at that time? He didn't know if there would be a chance to meet him in the future.

It's not that he has any thoughts about Shui Miao now, it's just an obsession from his youth.
