Outside the yard, xuanyuanjie has been waiting at the door, waiting for Nangong Mo to come out of her mother's bedroom. However, after waiting for a long time, I didn't see anyone, but I saw that Mr. Wu came over from the opposite corridor with a girl.

The girl looks smart. She was selected by Duke Wu. Before entering the door, I heard Mr. Wu whisper: "you can remember that the Empress Dowager is impatient. Don't make her unhappy. Don't involve me at that time."

"Yes, yes! Meier remembers, and Meier won't forget her father-in-law's kindness. " Then Meier took out a valuable jade pendant from her arms and put it into Duke Wu's hand.

Seeing money, Duke Wu's tone of voice changed immediately. He waved his orchid fingers and nodded Meier's nose: "you are quite sensible."

"Meier won't let her father-in-law down." Mei'er bowed gracefully and went in with Duke Wu.

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes when she heard the footsteps, and saw a girl standing beside Wu Gonggong, who should have come to serve her.

Looking up and down, she looked pretty and smart. She casually played with her long nails and said, "where did this girl get it from?"

"Back to the master, this girl is selected from the laundry. The orphan grew up in the palace at an early age and has no bad record. " Duke Wu told mei'er truthfully and gave her a wink secretly.

Mei'er pretended to be clumsy and knelt down to kowtow. In a small voice, she kowtowed to the Empress Dowager

"Well! Stay and have a look! Come here and press your head on this palace. " The Empress Dowager thought that Meier looked pretty, so she didn't ask too much.

Mei'er looked breathless. She walked carefully behind the empress dowager, pressed her temple skillfully, and hammered her back.

Seeing that he was all right, Duke Wu gasped for breath. He stooped to push out of the room, closed the door and stood at the door.

Outside the door, xuanyuanjie has not left, the mind on the girl called Meier. Think that girl looks very insipid, always have some not quite right feeling.

Sighed tone, brow tightly lock, the brain continuously replays those wenches that have seen in the palace, confirm have not seen beauty son. After thinking about it, he decided to leave first.

In the afternoon, the spies outside came to report that meng'er and Xiao Qing didn't go back to the house at all, and the people sent out didn't find their whereabouts, so they hurried back to reply.

"Where will they go if they don't go back? Don't fall into the hands of the bad guys. At that time, my mother and aunt will be heartbroken. " Xuanyuanjie is worried about meng'er. For a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, the world is terrible.

This is his only and childhood cousin. My cousin has been attached to my third brother since childhood, but every time she is wronged, she will come to complain in front of her. I have been taking good care of you for many years. If you have an accident, I will blame myself for my whole life.

"Look! Even if you turn the world upside down, you should get meng'er back. " Xuanyuanjie pointed to the killers, and his voice shocked the whole room.

"Yes The killer is ordered to step down.

Nusheng came in a hurry, as if to report an important event. When he entered the room, he opened the other servants. After closing the door, he came to the master mysteriously.

"Have you found out the details of the man beside your mother?" Xuanyuanjie can't wait to know the answer. He always feels that something is wrong with his mother.

Nu Sheng shook his head and told him another important thing: "Bu Hui and Bai Yunfei are in that man's hands. It's said that the man knows magic, so he took Bu Hui back without any effort. The origin is not simple."

"Magic!"

The two characters make xuanyuanjie hairy all over his body, and his face turns pale suddenly. He falls back and sits on the chair.

Nusheng frowned all the time. He was shocked when he heard the news. Although not as knowledgeable as the host, but also know what happened that night?

He took a breath and murmured: "don't you know how terrible the end will be if you mess with these people? Isn't it enough to teach us a lesson? "

"Maybe the Empress Dowager just wanted to use the man's power to deal with the little girl, but she never thought about the consequences. It's not easy for nu Sheng to worry about that person's appearance. Maybe he just wants to help the Empress Dowager. " Nusheng muttered all over his body.

"Where did the queen find this guy?" Xuanyuanjie doesn't believe that person is out of thin air, there must be a different birth.

It's a pity that I haven't seen the true face of Lushan, otherwise I would have found it.

"Yes Nu Sheng suddenly thought of something, looked at his master with a happy face and said, "Nu Sheng saw a strange man in his thirties come out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom yesterday. Nu Sheng is sure that he is not a figure in the palace."

"It's him!" Xuanyuanjie can confirm immediately, excitedly said: "quick! Take a paintbrush and draw the face of the man

"Yes Nusheng nodded.

With pen, ink, paper and inkstone, nu Sheng's painting skill was pretty good. He drew a man's face in a few seconds, which was at least seven points similar to a real person.

Xuanyuanjie looked at the picture for a long time, determined that he had never seen this person. Shaking his head, he entered a tangled state again.Nu Sheng thought for a while and said his own idea: "master, the people that the Empress Dowager knows must be older than you. Maybe they are the sons of former friends. Ask the minister if he knows."

"Why didn't I think of this? In this case, the more qualified ministers in the palace may know this face." After thinking carefully, xuanyuanjie said, "go and find general long."

"Yes Nusheng withdrew.

General long is also an elder of the three dynasties. He is familiar with the ministers of the imperial palace. When xuanyuanjie ascended the throne, general long was still rebellious. However, when he saw that he was in charge of power, general long compromised. After all, general long, a veteran born in the battlefield, also wants the dragon to prosper. He doesn't want to see people's blood flow.

Half an hour or so, general long, who was over 60 years old, came to xuanyuanjie's study. Enter the door, see Xuan Yuan Jie is concentrating on appreciating the picture scroll on the table, a while curiously Piao one eye.

"How is general long recently?" Without waiting for general long to salute, xuanyuanjie has quietly opened his voice.

"Old minister, please salute the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" General long knew that he had lost his manners and knelt down to kowtow to the emperor first.

"Get up! Get up Xuanyuanjie got up and helped general long up. He asked with concern: "general long is old, and it's time to return to his hometown for self-cultivation."

"I'm stupid. I don't know what I did wrong to make the emperor dissatisfied. Please make it clear that I will make up for my mistakes." As soon as general long came, he heard that he was about to be abdicated. He was so flustered that he planned to kneel down again.

"No, no, no!" Xuanyuan Jie quickly Kwai lifted up the man, smiled and said, "the general of the Dragon thought a lot. I just thought that the Dragon general had been fighting for the dragon for a lifetime. It's time to go back to enjoy the Qing Fu." If general long is willing to stay, I will be happy. "

In a cold sweat, general long was frightened. His eyes inadvertently stayed on the picture scroll on the desktop. He felt that the face on the picture scroll was very familiar.

Xuanyuanjie followed general Long's eyes and looked at the picture. He had a smile on his face. It was true that general long knew this man.

He went to the table, picked up the painting that was not dry, and simply handed it to general long: "general long has seen this man."

General long was fascinated. When he heard what the emperor said, he became cautious: "where does the emperor come from? This... "

"It's painted. The ink on it is still wet. Who are the people on this scroll?" Xuanyuanjie tone is very relaxed, just want to know who the picture is, don't want to let general long know too much. After all, it's also the old days of the mother's wife. It's hard to avoid divulging information.

General long looked carefully and found that it was just painted. Swallow saliva, careful so that he does not know how to speak? His forehead began to sweat again, and the expression on his face could not hide the tension in his heart. Bow hand, see him low ground response: "old minister does not know."

Unfortunately, general Long's eyes have betrayed him. Xuanyuanjie knew at a glance that the man in the picture had a lot to do with his mother. In this way, I would like to know the identity of the people in the painting. After a look at general long, he put on a airs, and his tone was very gentle: "don't be too nervous, general long, it's just a casual pen. I just want to know who is the person in the picture? What's the relationship with the mother? You are a senior minister. You should know the talents in the picture. If you don't know, I don't know who to ask. "

General long was so frightened that he did not dare to look at the emperor's eyes. As soon as he lifted his clothes, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "emperor! Emperor, please forgive me. I really don't know, I don't know. "

"Yes? The crime of deceiving the king can be related to nine nationalities. " Xuanyuanjie looks at general long with a smile.

General long was sweating all over. He arched his hands and moved his knees forward. He lay on the ground and begged bitterly: "if you let the Empress Dowager know that you have inquired about this person in my mouth, the Empress Dowager will not let me go."

"I guess I'm right. The person in the picture is really related to his mother." Xuanyuanjie smiles confidently at the corner of his mouth and helps general long up again.

General Long's whole body trembled and almost fell to the ground.

"General long, tell me the truth. I promise that I will never let my mother know that I will give her a great reward. " Xuanyuanjie is a promise to general long, but such a promise can only be within the scope of the palace.

"Emperor, I'd like to return home. Thank you for your help." General long has retreated to the point where there is no way to retreat. He just answers the emperor's words and hopes that the emperor will not entangle him any more.

Xuanyuanjie certainly won't give up easily. Now that he has found the source, he should follow suit. He raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. He said with compulsion: "if general long doesn't want to talk, I have to ask other people, or go directly to my mother. It's just that I'm afraid general Long's belongings... "

"Emperor, I will tell you." General long made a complete compromise.
