Chapter 32
Cining Palace.

When Li Tianxiao arrived, the Empress Dowager didn't believe it at first. She thought that the emperor had been hiding for so long, and she was afraid that there was something tricky about it. But when she really saw Li Tianxiao coming, the Empress Dowager's sharp eyes flashed, and she quickly burst into a wave of love: " Emperor, come and see Ai's family, these days, Ai's family went to the bedroom for a few days, but they didn't see you."

"My mother is worried. These days, Mei'er's body is not feeling well. I am worried, so I will accompany you more." After finishing speaking, Li Tianxiao tightened his arms around the waist of Jun Hao who was disguised as a man. Quite handy, she leaned against Li Tianxiao's chest like a boneless one, and said delicately: "Your Majesty, my concubine has a headache..."

"Well, Concubine Ai, we'll go back later. Huh?" After finishing speaking, he squeezed his chin, making everyone bow their heads and turn their eyes away.

But they didn't do anything, and they couldn't find any mistakes.

The Empress Dowager was calm, and waved her hand: "Concubine Mei's body is a bit weak. There is a thousand-year-old ginseng here at Aijia, and someone will send it over later, so that Concubine Mei can make up for it."

Jun Hao glanced at the Queen Mother winkingly: "The concubine thanked the Queen Mother for the reward..."

The Queen Mother looked at Jun Hao's face and said with a smile, "Sit down."

Li Tianxiao sat down with his arms around Jun Hao, and then let go of his hands. He just waited for the meal and put the dishes on Jun Hao's plate himself, causing Jun Hao to give him a hammer. Li Tianxiao's face was paralyzed, But they held his fist, and the two looked at each other tenderly. The Queen Mother almost couldn't hold back anymore, and crushed the silver chopsticks in her hand.

The queen mother waited until the time was almost up before she began to tell her purpose: "My son, the Ai family didn't want to take care of it at first, but the concubines in the harem came to look for Ai's family, so the Ai family had to come out to uphold justice."

"Oh? I don't know what they said in front of the queen mother?" Li Tianxiao said expressionlessly.

"Naturally, you are the emperor... you are too fond of Concubine Mei. After all, you are not too young, and you should be spreading your branches and leaves. Concubine Mei has been silent in her stomach. The emperor should also consider the rain and dew. .” The queen mother took the handkerchief handed over by the mother, and tried the corners of her mouth.

"The queen mother taught me the lesson." Li Tianxiao agreed, but then he still ignored it, whether he should be the only one or the only one.

The Empress Dowager naturally knew his temperament, it was as harmless as punching cotton, but she didn't care about it, the most important purpose was not this, but those concubines made trouble, she was a good person Just to mention it: "Also, emperor, the rear position in the harem has been empty for a long time, and you have never been married, is there anyone you like?"

Li Tianxiao said: "Not really."

The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, and she asked, "My lord, what do you think, Chen'er?"

Li Tianxiao frowned: "Chen'er?"

The Queen Mother frowned: "It's your uncle's concubine, your cousin, you have seen her before, she looks very iconic, virtuous and virtuous, she has been taught very well by your uncle these years, and she is at the age of marriage, enough to be a mother to the world I don't know if Huang'er intends to let Chen'er enter the palace? Of course, Huang'er, you can meet first..."

"Your Majesty, my concubine has a headache." Before the Queen Mother could finish her words, Jun Hao hurriedly opened his mouth, joking, and asked the Queen Mother to really bring Uncle Liu's daughter into the palace, fearing that there would be another person monitoring the Emperor.

"What's wrong?" Li Tianxiao frowned.

The Empress Dowager's face was very ugly, and she just wanted to scold Concubine Mei for being too ignorant of the rules.

Hearing that Concubine Mei's body went limp, she fell down.

Li Tianxiao "anxiously" hugged him up by the waist, and said goodbye directly, and sent someone to announce the imperial physician.

The queen mother was so angry that she almost flipped the table: "This emperor..."

"Empress Dowager, if you have something to say, don't say it." Nurse stepped forward to hold her shoulder and reminded at the same time.

The queen mother slowly calmed down, and said: "Ai's family is also in a hurry. The emperor has become more and more mischievous in the past two years. What is the identity of Concubine Mei? She has been the only one who has favored her for so long. Do you still want her to give birth to the emperor?" Won't the first dragon son succeed? Even if he wants to give birth to a prince, the first one should be someone from my Liu family."

The nanny said: "What your mother said is true, but the emperor is stubborn, so this matter should be done slowly."

The Queen Mother rubbed the center of her brows, and waved her hand after a while: "Yes."

Li Tianxiao carried Jun Hao, who was disguised as a woman, back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then let him down when he was sure that he was his own.

Jun Hao hugged his chest and snorted coldly: "She will plan to let you marry her niece. After this, the country will fall into the hands of her Liu family again?" It's a beautiful idea, this old woman It's becoming more and more unbearable.

Li Tianxiao squinted his eyes: "If she wants it, I will give it to her." Not to mention that this is the Li family's world, even if it is for revenge, he will never let her succeed.

******
At the same moment, not far from the gate of Beizhen Fusi, Chu Qing straightened his collar, and then slowly walked outside the gate of Zhenfusi. The guard stopped him: "Who is coming?"

Chu Qing didn't know the identity of the friend Qin Tutou mentioned in Beizhen Fusi, but he knew the name, and said: "I have a letter here, please give it to Master Zhongxuan."

The guard was taken aback for a moment, and after looking at each other, his face darkened and he said, "You can see our Zhong Baihu if you want?"

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows, his eyes were indifferent, but there was a wave in his heart: Zhong Baihu?Qin Butou said that someone is an adult from a hundred households?This was beyond her expectation, but then she calmed down, raised her eyebrows and looked very imposing, not angry, but rather imposing: "Why? I have a letter of recommendation here. Is there a problem? Zhong Bai Master Hu can't see you now?"

The guard was really intimidated. He frowned, and wanted to say something, but was pulled away by another guard. This is the capital city, and he might offend some high-ranking official. If he didn't frighten him like this, he might be someone else. No, it wasn't their little guards who offended them.

After thinking about it for a while, they decided to ask for Chu Qing, and their attitude was much better: "Young master, what's your name?"

Chu Qing thought for a while, and reported Qin Butou's name: "Qin Yu."

A guard went in and came out soon after, but he was followed by a solemn general with armor on his body, very burly.

Chu Qing observed the man when he came over. The opponent's territory is very stable, and his skills should be good; his brows and eyes are sharp, and he is upright, so he might not be easy to get along with; his eyes are very upright, and he should be upright; I've seen blood before.

Chu Qing actually didn't know much about it. She didn't expect that Qin Tutou's friend was actually a master of a hundred households from Beizhen Fusi, who was one level older than Zongqi.She thought, Qin Tutou probably didn't expect that her friend had already become a hundred households, otherwise he wouldn't have reminded her.

Seeing Chu Qing, Zhong Xuan raised his brows, shot his eyes sharply, and frowned: "Who are you, Qin Yu?"

Chu Qing knew that he didn't chase people away on the spot, and he was already doing Qin Butou face, so he quickly handed over the letter: "This is what Qin Butou asked me to hand over to the lord."

Zhong Xuan glanced at her indifferently, but took the letter over. After reading it, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, then his expression sank, and he said, "Come along with me."

Chu touched his nose lightly to cover up the worry that had just surged up in his heart. He was relieved when he heard Zhong Xuan's words this time. Seeing that Zhong Xuan had gone a few steps away, he hurriedly followed.

Zhong Xuan was very tall, almost a head taller than her, but fortunately she was tall, otherwise it would be very difficult for a woman to disguise herself as a man.

Zhong Xuan brought Chu Qing to the hall where he alone handles official business, sat on the first seat, pointed to the lower head position, sat down majestically, and slapped the letter on the table with his big palm: "You came to find a certain , so why?" Zhong Xuan was used to going straight and straight, so he asked directly.If Qin Yu hadn't recommended this person to him, he would have driven him away long ago.

Chu Qing said: "I want to have a certain position in Jinyiwei, and I can judge cases by torture." Chu Qing thought for a while, and added: "This time, I can also help with the disappearance of Fusi in Nanbei Town."

Zhong Xuandao: "Since you are a coworker, why did you hide your identity and come to the capital?" This had to make him doubt her identity.

Chu Qing thought for a while, and said frankly: "The situation is compelling, someone wants to kill me, I boldly use my real identity to come to the capital, one will make someone notice it; two, life is in danger." Hidden arrows were hard to guard against, and before Master's revenge was avenged, she didn't want to die without knowing why.Chu Qing knew that the Zhen Fusi had his own contact network, and if he didn’t confess, he would be censored. Zhong Xuan would still know about it, which would make Zhong Xuan more suspicious of his motives, so he might as well confess. Help, then no matter how the people in Beijing check themselves, they probably won't find any clues.

Zhong Xuan frowned tightly: "Someone wants to kill you? Who?"

Chu Qing said: "The person who harmed my master."

Zhong Xuan asked, "Who is your master?"

Chu Qing thought for a while, and then told the story of the lame Zhang, and promised: "I will leave when these matters are resolved, and I will never cause trouble for Zhong Baihu." I should have told him in the letter, it's up to him to use it or not.

Zhong Xuan frowned: "Cripple Zhang?" He narrowed his eyes, "Real name?"

Chu Qing shook his head and said, "No, my master's original name was Chu Ting Zhang, and the cripple Zhang was given by someone else."

Zhong Xuan didn't take it seriously at first, but suddenly looked at Chu Qing: "What do you think is your master's name?"

"...Chu Tingzhang." Chu Qing pursed her lower lip, and asked suspiciously, "Zhong Baihu knows my master?" Otherwise, Zhong Xuan's reaction would be too strange.

Zhong Xuan tapped lightly on the table, but didn't speak. He was thinking. He didn't know if the Chu Tingzhang that this kid was talking about was the person he thought, but the identity of the author was the same. If it was true, he might be ...it can be used by him.After a moment of silence, he said: "I can give you a chance, but I won't give you any position for the time being. You should work with Jin Yiwei first. As for whether you need it or not, let me see if you have real skills."

Chu responded with a relaxed tone: "Okay, but I hope that my lord will hide my identity for me for the time being."

Zhong Xuan agreed, and Chu Qing left.Things went much smoother than she imagined. As long as Zhong Xuan helped her, she would be safe for the time being. As long as she was given time, she would definitely find out the cause of Master's death.But before that, she had to plan carefully. After all, the capital city was no better than Qingshui Town and Longmen Town. This was a real dragon's lake and tiger's den.
