Chapter 540

After two assassinations, Luo qingluan became more and more careful.

Thoroughly investigate King Chu's residence, including servant girls and bodyguards. As long as you are a helper in the king's residence of Chu, no matter what you do, you must find out the origin of your identity, which is the most basic.

For example, whether the girl is a slave or a contract signed with the king of Chu's house, we should find out where their parents and brothers live, who is in the family, who entered the house through, and so on. Some of the bodyguards are private soldiers recruited by the king's residence of Chu. This part of Luo qingluan is handed over to Xu Wei for detailed investigation. The other part is arranged by the palace. Luo qingluan secretly asks Nangong Yu to help.

For Luo qingluan's wanton investigation, it is obviously to strengthen vigilance. Nangong Yu doesn't know the real reason, but he is not surprised. After all, Luo qingluan is the only hostess in such a large Chu palace. Be careful. He readily agreed, and Luo qingluan also accepted. He smiled and said that when he was free, he would write more stories and give them away for free.

A few days before New Year's Eve, Luo qingluan finally waited for Nalan night's reply.

The letter said that he was already attacking Beihai City, but he didn't win it for the time being, but she was assured that he would conquer Beihai, win Beiyue and come back to see her as soon as possible. Although the content written by Nalan night is roughly the same as the news Luo qingluan heard from Nangong Yu, and Nalan night doesn't want Luo qingluan to worry, so he doesn't write in detail. But even with a few words, Luo qingluan could imagine how many dangers the cashier LAN night had experienced and how much pressure he had endured, not to mention how amazing the impact his decision to play first and then play had on the courtiers.

Even if she stayed at home, Luo qingluan also heard the wind about Nalan's moving west to the North Vietnamese people on the night and allowing them to merge into the Western Chu.

For this matter, most officials in the court, including the emperor Nangong Qing, were happy to see its success and supported it. Because these North Vietnamese people did not move into the prosperous place of Western Chu, but sent them to the border or sparsely populated northwest, which is absolutely good for Western Chu.

Not only does it increase the labor force and produce more food in the coming year, but everyone knows that whether a country is strong or not depends on whether there are many people. Now Nalan night's move has not only reduced the population of North Vietnam, but also increased the labor force of Western Chu. In the long run, it is absolutely beneficial to the country and the people.

For some officials of the Ministry of officials, these cities and counties occupied by the North Vietnamese people must be strictly controlled when the population is large, which requires the imperial court to appoint more officials. These officials were elected by the Ministry of officials, which improved the reputation and role of the Ministry of officials. It was thought that many officials would come to curry favor with and flatter the back door in the near future. Shi fanchen, the Minister of Commerce of the Ministry of officials, was the most enthusiastic to promote this matter.

As for the subsequent series of impacts, such as the large population of Western Chu, the chain effect of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the stimulation of tax revenue and the increase of various incomes, are also of great benefit to Western Chu.

Therefore, when Nalan night wrote this decision back to the court, the people in the court immediately launched a detailed discussion. Nangong Qing even received hundreds of memorials in one day, all of which explained the matter and wrote their own opinions. They wanted to make some achievements in front of the emperor, which made Nangong Qing more and more busy recently.

However, there are also many objections, about one third.

The biggest objection raised by these officials was that these North Vietnamese were not willing to come to the Western Chu, but were forced to migrate after the king of Chu occupied their homes. If these hateful North Vietnamese come to Xichu, they will plot against it, even destroy it, burn, kill, rob and wait for revenge. In short, Nalan night's move is harmful to Xichu, so Nangong Qing must stop it as soon as possible.

At the daily court meeting, the officials began and ended in the dispute, but gradually, because of the attitude of the emperor Nangong Qing, they began to select officials to go to the border city of Western Chu to manage these North Vietnamese civilians, and they consciously stopped talking. Since the emperor has decided, can they, as ministers, object again? It's better to do something early to manage these migrant civilians.

There are too many measures. Nangong Qing is lucky that he doesn't plan to hold a wedding banquet this year. He is really too busy. There are too many things to be busy. Although the queen Suyi is pregnant, she has been alert to other concubines because of Zhuang Cairen's death some time ago. The harem has been stable and calm. There has been no accident again, and she has more leisure.

According to the grade, she gave rewards to the officials' families. Su Yi's mind was on getting together with Luo qingluan. On the first day of new year's Eve, Luo qingluan received a reminder from the palace people that the empress will host a banquet in the Liusu palace to entertain the princess of Chu tomorrow. She must remember that she can't be delayed temporarily.

"Miss, the house has been cleaned up, and the gifts for the queen are ready."

In the bedroom, Luo qingluan lay lazily on the soft couch of the embroidered Koi playing lotus pillow, holding the popular script in the capital at present. Hearing Dai Yue's voice, she looked up and smiled, "what have you prepared?"

The day after tomorrow is new year's Eve. Although Luo qingluan is the only master left in the king's house of Chu, there are many servants after all. She still asks Dai Yue to order it and make it happier. After all, it's the new year, and she's pregnant again. Those servants don't know. Luo qingluan also wants to find an excuse to reward them. It's not in vain that they've done their best in the past year.

The cloister in the yard has been hung with fashionable palace lanterns, each with different patterns. At night, all the lights are lit to disperse the darkness, which makes people feel that this winter is not so cold.

The servant also received the reward from Luo qingluan. Naturally, the silver naked money string was indispensable. He also gave the servant girl two sets of winter clothes to the housekeepers. Chinese New Year's bacon, smoked chicken, ham, and vegetables and grain received from Zhuangzi were also distributed. Everyone was jubilant and had more spirit to do things.

After listening to Dai Yue's words, Luo qingluan nodded: "well, divide more. Everyone is happy and can have a good new year."

Daiyue seemed to think of something and hesitated before saying, "Miss, do you want to go back to the general's house to see the master? Last time I went out, I happened to meet shuirou next to Mrs. side. She said that the master often talked about you at home."

Los Angeles? Luo qingluan frowned. For a moment, it was hard to make a decision.

Although she had not been the father of Los Angeles for a long time, although it was clear that they had broken off the relationship, the practice of Los Angeles really made her cold. Since she married Nalan night, Luo qingluan had another home, and she almost never went back to see it again.

However, since Dai Yue mentioned it, I don't want to talk casually. Luo qingluan frowned: "Dai Yue, do you have anything else to say?"

Seeing that Luo qingluan saw through it, Dai Yue nodded and said, "yes, miss. In fact... Last time shuirou said that the old lady was unwell for a long time. But she knew you didn't like to go back to the general's house, so she didn't let the servants tell you. I didn't know it until I heard shuirou talk about it. I thought if the young lady went back, would she be able to see the old lady by the way?"

Luo qingluan was suddenly surprised and said, "you said Grandma was ill? Didn't she repair in the temple?"

"I don't know. Maybe the old lady was ill, so she came back. And I heard she couldn't get out of bed, maybe..." Dai Yue took a careful look at Luo qingluan and said, "maybe it's a stroke."

If she made a special trip back to Los Angeles, Luo qingluan would not like to, but considering that Hong Yu has not seen her at home for a long time, even her grandmother is not feeling well. Why should Luo qingluan go back.

"Since grandma is ill, we can't delay it. Daiyue, go and prepare. We'll go back later." Luo qingluan's plan is to go back to the general's house as soon as possible. After all, the day after tomorrow is new year's Eve. She wants to go into the palace. And grandma's illness can't be delayed, and I don't know how La got it. Stroke needs to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome to be paralyzed.

Luo qingluan quickly took Dai Yue out of the door after selecting some new year goods from the purchase. After all, she was pregnant. Daiyue carefully helped Luo qingluan into the carriage and told the groom to drive slowly and steadily. Then she drove to the general's house.

At the same moment, at the gate of the capital of Western Chu, there were many fine snowflakes.

Most passers-by were jubilant and smiling. The children were chasing and running on the road in their newly made cotton padded clothes. Sometimes there was the sound of firecrackers, a smell of new year.

But on the pipe outside the north gate, a pale woman stood at the gate of the city, clutching a crutch made of a branch, staring at a few words on the gate with mixed feelings.

Even if Yuan Xing saw the woman again, he would not recognize her identity, because her appearance had changed greatly at this time. A plain face, at best beautiful, about twenty-eight, with a scratch on his forehead. Even she was wearing ordinary coarse cotton padded clothes. If her figure had not changed, I was afraid no one would guess who she was.

Since she jumped off the cliff, Shijian had already made up her mind to die, but she was lucky to survive, which strengthened her idea of revenge. From Shi Jian's point of view, I'm afraid God wants her to live, otherwise how could she fall from such a high place, but she was only slightly injured?

She took four or five days to take care of her injury while walking. She stole either farmers' clothes or food along the way. She even stole a horse from a caravan. Otherwise, she would be alone. I'm afraid she has just entered the border of Western Chu.

"Luo qingluan, I must kill you!"

Shijian secretly swore that even if Nalan night recognized her identity, he didn't see her face after all. As long as she kills the real Luo qingluan, she can replace her identity and completely get rid of her killer career.

Thinking of this, Shi Jian bit his teeth and slowly entered the city gate.

Although she doesn't know where King Chu's residence is, she will find out. Before long, her wish will come true!
