Li Xiuzhu did not go home first, but went to the courtyard on Zhuque Street.

He must bring women with him this time. Both women are first-rate masters. Although there is a little burden like Guo Fu, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Of course, it would be better if Guo Fu could stay in Shangjing.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu, Huang Rong and Nalan Mingyue were also stunned.

Usually Li Xiuzhu came once every three or four days, but this time only one day had passed.

Huang Rong was extremely intelligent and immediately asked, "What is the matter with your Highness' visit this time?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded.

"Well, I need to go to the south, and I want you to come with me."

"As for Fu'er, we can either go to the garden outside the city first, or we can take her with us. It depends on your choice."

Huang Rong was silent for a moment and asked, "Is this dangerous?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "Wu Anjun was in charge of the excavation of the Grand Canal and encountered an assassin."

"The assassins are a group of top-notch experts, no less than ten of them."

Huang Rong nodded after hearing this and fell silent again.

"Why doesn't he let Fu'er live in the palace? Does he not consider us as his own? Or does he have something against Fu'er?"

Thinking of this, Huang Rong asked, "Is the garden outside the city safe?"

Li Xiuzhu: …

This little girl, you have so many tricks. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you testing me? If I can't hear your inner voice, how can I guess that you have so many twists and turns in your mind?

"The safety outside the city is definitely not as good as that in the palace. There are peerless masters in the palace, and there are only a few of my former subordinates outside the city."

"But there are quite a few second-rate women in the garden. As long as they are not peerless masters, the garden is absolutely safe."

"Of course, the main reason why Fu'er went to the garden was because there was no one of the same age as Fu'er in the palace. My father-in-law, Prime Minister Fu, was going to take my sisters-in-law home, and I was afraid that Fu'er wouldn't be able to play with my women there."

"It's different over in the garden. There are women from 3 to 30 years old. Besides, Fu'er has lived there for a while, so she is more accustomed to it."

"Of course, if you want Fu'er to go to the palace, that's fine."

Huang Rong felt relieved when she heard Li Xiuzhu say this. She smiled and said, "Then I'll go ask Fu'er and see what she chooses."

"It turns out that I was overthinking. My husband still loves me and doesn't treat Fu'er as an outsider."

Haha, he is the one who is suspected, and your husband is the one who is aware of the misunderstanding, right?

When Huang Rong went in, Li Xiuzhu looked at Nalan Mingyue.

"Mingyue, you heard it too. This incident happened suddenly, so I can't take you to see Haibie for the time being."

Although he would go to the palace in the evening, he did not have much time left, and it was obviously inappropriate to take Nalan Mingyue with him to reminisce about the past.

"Your Majesty, Mingyue understands."

"Will Your Majesty stay for dinner?"

Li Xiuzhu shook his head.

"Forget it. Time is tight today. I won't stay."

"Okay, then Your Majesty, have a cup of tea and wait for Sister Rong."

At this time Huang Rong came out again, still with Guo Fu.

"I asked Fu'er, and she said we could go to the garden."

"Should I send it now?"

Li Xiuzhu shook his head slightly.

"You guys should pack your bags first, it will be on the way when we leave tomorrow."

"Now that I've made the decision, I'll leave first."

Huang Rong didn't keep Li Xiuzhu after hearing this, as she seemed to know that Li Xiuzhu had a lot of people to say goodbye to.

"Goodbye, brother Prince."

"Okay, goodbye, Sister Guo Fu."

Huang Rong couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, the words "Aunt Rong" suddenly came to his mind, followed by the words "Aunt Guo".

Hiss, I’m feeling it.

Hurry up and go, there is plenty of time on the way, you are busy now.

Li Xiuzhu quickly returned home and told the women in the family about the situation.

At this moment, the joyful atmosphere in the house suddenly became quiet.

Each woman looked at Li Xiuzhu with reluctance on her face.

Although Li Xiuzhu was often away from home, they felt at ease knowing that he was in Beijing, and they were also very satisfied in that respect.

But now that I know Li Xiuzhu is leaving, and it will take at least a month and a half, I suddenly feel reluctant to let him go.

During the meal, the atmosphere became quite quiet.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Fu Yuehua was the eldest sister after all, so she spoke first: "Husband, please take Xiaomeng with you this time. Our family is in Shangjing City, so it's not dangerous."

Xiao Meng also looked over when she heard that. She didn't care where she was, she just heard that she was mentioned.

She understood Li Xiuzhu's level and knew that if her husband couldn't solve it, it would be difficult for her to do so either.

Even if she went, her role would probably be to protect others.

Li Xiuzhu shook his head upon hearing this.

"Someone must be at home. Xiao Meng cannot move. Sanniang and Honglei can go with me. They are also first-class and have hands-on experience."

At this time Bi Xiuxin stood up.

"Your Majesty, I would like to go too. The ladies at home have already acquired first-class inner strength, and I have already done what I should do."

Li Xiuzhu understood Bi Xiuxin's underlying meaning and nodded.

"Then you can come along too. I'll help you practice Bei Ming Divine Art on the way."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."

Bi Xiuxin has been serving in the mansion for some time. She is the one who reveals her inner thoughts the least. Even if she does, it is mostly because of martial arts. She has never rebelled.

I don’t know whether he is obsessed with martial arts or he just hasn’t reached the required level of strength.

Bi Xiuxin's words made Fu Yuehua and others frown slightly. After all, they still didn't quite trust this tool man with internal strength.

But their husbands have agreed, so what can they say?

I can only ask my husband to be careful in private.

After lunch, Li Xiuzhu took care of everything at home that he had not taken care of recently, and then he climbed into the palace after dark.

Li Xiuzhu first went to Ganlu Palace to meet Concubine Hui and Li Liuli. After feeding Li Liuli, he went to Jiaofang Palace and Ganlu Palace.

It was after midnight that he went to Concubine Li's courtyard.

When the Queen's maid came to inform her today, Concubine Li was confused for a moment, mainly because she was shocked by the words "The Prince will stay overnight tonight".

It was not until then that she realized that she had only seen one side of the picture.

The fact that the Queen allowed someone to say such things to her clearly showed that they had a special relationship.

Then...? An absurd thought immediately came to Concubine Li's mind: could the baby in the queen's belly be the prince's?

This thought frightened Concubine Li, and she quickly shook her head to get rid of the thought in her mind.

When Li Xiuzhu arrived, Concubine Li was still a little absent-minded.

The five people who were completely unaware of the situation served Li Xiuzhu attentively.

Early in the morning, Li Xiuzhu left the palace, picked up someone, sent Guo Fu to the manor, and then set off.

This section of the Grand Canal is located from Dongdu to Suzhou and Hangzhou. The section from Dongdu to Sishui has already been dug, and the only thing left to do is to open up the route to Suzhou and Hangzhou for navigation.

However, there are two mountains between Sishui and Suzhou and Hangzhou, so it is necessary to go down the Huaishui River and open up a road to Suzhou and Hangzhou from Chuzhou.

This is where they are going.
