The Empress Dowager opened her eyes.
Although she is old and has gray hair, one can still vaguely see her former beauty.
The old lady next to him was respectful and loyal.
He found out all the information about Chu Shengan's favorite concubine.
"In my opinion, this woman is not someone who is easy to get along with."
"Furthermore, judging by His Majesty's intentions, it's not favor, but rather... respect."
The Empress Dowager stopped holding the rosary in her hand and lowered her eyes, as if thinking about something.
"It seems that there is some means."
Chu Jinshen secretly sent her a letter, telling her about the recent changes in the palace.
Now it seems that the only variable is this "favored concubine".
"Let's investigate further to see what's going on."
The old lady responded.
The Empress Dowager looked at the Buddha statue in front of her and sighed softly.
"Hongye, please bless him."
Chu Jinshen didn't say much in the letter, and didn't mention anything about Hongcheng.
The Empress Dowager is old after all, and it would be bad if she got angry.
But the Empress Dowager still saw the clues.
She thought for a long time and sent a letter to the Lord of Lanzhou.
The Empress Dowager's family background was not prominent.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult for the late emperor to ascend the throne.
But after all, so many years have passed.
There are still some side branches in the family, and they have managed to get some positions.
For example, the Lord of Lanzhou is one of them.
This is a secret letter, so it naturally takes a different approach.
So when the Lord of Lanzhou received the news, he sent his confidant over.
He was not a fool, so he naturally knew what the letter meant.
Each one serves his own master, and besides...
Only when you have supported yourself can you feel at ease.
What he said was true, especially since Chu Jinshen held military power.
This is the greatest guarantee.
Madam Fujun was a little worried.
"Master, if I'm involved, will I..."
The Lord of Lanzhou naturally knew what she was thinking and sighed softly.
"No matter what, just sell it privately."
After all, she is the Empress Dowager, and we can't lose face.
The Lord of Lanzhou felt that he could still take care of a few things in the area under his jurisdiction.
Unfortunately, he never thought that this would happen.
He almost lost his life.
Hongcheng, outside the city.
After a sleepless night, the morning light illuminates the sky.
Mr. Wang sighed, stood up, took a sip of the water in the water bag.
Lu Heyi slowly opened his eyes, frowning, and felt a light behind him.
As usual, he tidied himself up a bit.
Mr. Wang looked at his back and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
What's wrong with that? I need to change my clothes every day.
Lu Heyi walked towards the river outside the city.
When he was near the water source, he stopped.
Looking at the familiar carriage in front of him and the man in black standing next to the carriage.
He raised his brows slightly.
"Has it been delivered?"
The man nodded without saying anything.
Lu Heyi was used to him not speaking, so she just stretched out her hand.
"Where's the stuff?"
The man placed a small box in his hand.
Lu Heyi opened it and took a look.
Inside was a green pill, and the taste was the same as always.
"By the way, there are some things you need to send back."
The man paused and turned around.
Lu Heyi handed him the letter she had written earlier.
"Remember, you must hand it over to Miss Bai."
The man nodded and got back into the carriage.
Lu Heyi looked at his back and swallowed the medicine.
This scene was seen by the people following Lu Heyi.
He was thoughtful and planned to tell this matter to Mr. Wang.
Unfortunately, he was stopped before he could take two steps.
"Why, where do you want to go?"
Lu Heyi's voice sounded behind him, and he was startled and attacked in a hurry.
Seeing Lu Heyi turned around and avoided him, he hurriedly ran towards the camp.
He thought he could escape, but Lu Heyi leaped and stopped right in front of him.
"It looks like there are some disobedient little bugs. I'll help deal with them."
Lu Heyi reached out, grabbed the man's neck, and chuckled.
"I'm afraid your master can't save you."
The man's face flushed and he tried to struggle.
What he didn't expect was that Lu Heyi was so strong that he couldn't struggle out.
Lu Heyi stared at him for a while, then felt bored and exerted a little force with his hands.
All I heard was a "click".
The man fell silent.
Engineer Wang, who was standing next to the carriage, paused and suddenly looked towards the forest, in the direction of Lu Heyi.
Something is wrong.
He never thought that Lu Heyi would take action directly.
Watching Lu Heyi coming back from the river, the people who were arranged to follow him were nowhere to be seen.
Mr. Wang frowned.
But he didn't notice that Lu Heyi was looking at him with a smile.
"General Wang, who are you waiting for?"
Mr. Wang pretended not to care and turned away.
"Do we still have to wait here today?"
Lu Heyi looked up at the sky.
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, we will go into the city to collect their bodies."
The scary thing about this epidemic is that it lasts from the onset of the disease to death.
It was just three or four short days.
Judging by the time, it’s almost time.
Engineer Wang nodded, and the few of them had a meal with the dry food.
"By the way, remember what I said before when you enter the city."
Since Wang Gong and others were still useful, Lu Heyi reluctantly taught them.
Cover your mouth and nose with clothing when entering the city.
Try not to come into contact with other people.
This is the best way to prevent disease.
Regardless of whether it is possible or not, at least now I can only trust Lu Heyi.
However, Mr. Wang still sent someone to look for him. He sent the person following Lu Heyi.
I searched everywhere but couldn't find any trace.
Although Mr. Wang knew that Lu Heyi was involved in this matter, he had no other choice.
I can only swallow this anger.
However, there will probably be a winner between him and Lu Heyi.
Hongcheng.
The early morning sun arrived as promised, but there was no one on the street.
Occasionally there was movement in the shadows in the corner, but it was just some small thing.
The child covered his mouth and tongue in worry.
Afraid of making any noise.
The last time I had a meal was yesterday at noon.
But after that meal, the house looked different.
They couldn't figure it out.
How come my parents, who were chatting and laughing just now, became like this in the blink of an eye?
Lu Anan stood by the window.
According to the news she received yesterday, they might enter the city today.
Li Si and others have almost rested.
My health has improved a lot.
At least I can walk like yesterday.
The rest of the people were also not affected after drinking the rain water from the little lion.
Lu Anan arranged them around the inn.
If Lu Heyi wants to come, they are in the light and Lu Anan is in the dark, so there will always be a way.
Chu Jinshen walked to Lu Anan's side.
"It's time to settle accounts with them."
