Through a wall, Yu Jiu heard the conversation between Fang Wujiu and Wen Jiucheng clearly.

He greeted the person guarding the death cell and signaled the other party to look closely at the person in the prison. Then he turned around and left the death cell and took a carriage to Zizaiguan.

At this time, a little light had appeared in the horizon. There were early people on the street carrying loads to rush to the market, hoping to take a good place in the market when there were fewer people.

When the county magistrate's carriage galloped past, the people retreated aside and tried to distance themselves from the carriage so as not to be caught by the carriage.

The carriage Yu Jiu was riding entered Zizaiguan through the back door.

Since the effect of the transformation of the eternal Gu has not disappeared, Yu Jiu is still like Mrs. Jian at this time.

But in order to facilitate movement, he was wearing men's clothing at this time, and his hair was tied to the top of his head and fixed it with a squid head.

He jumped out of the car and headed straight to the bedroom where the old god lived.

On the way, several Taoist priests met Yu Jiu without any surprise. Instead, they greeted him respectfully and called him the Ninth Prince.

The old god had already gotten up, and he was sitting on the soft couch with his eyes closed and meditating.

Seeing that Yu Jiu was coming, the old fairy raised her loose eyelids slightly and asked slowly...

"Has someone caught it?"

Yu Jiu put away all his will in front of him and became particularly obedient and honest.

He bowed to the old god and said, "Report to my father, we have captured people, and people are now locked in death row."

Old God: "The two people in Xuanmen who were stranded in Fufeng City one after another will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion."

Yu Jiu asked carefully: "Are we going to do it in advance?"

The old fairy raised her right hand and slowly stroked her snow-white beard.

"The child has not been born yet. Without him, we will be named Wuming."

Yu Jiu: "Don't you have prepared the medicine to induce labor?"

The old fairy sighed and looked compassionate: "The medicine will cause great harm to pregnant women and children. Even if the medicine is used to make the child born early, his health will become very poor. If he unfortunately dies prematurely, will our efforts be wasted? Let's wait a little longer."

Yu Jiu nodded: "I understand."

The old immortal: "I will find something to let the emperor divert his attention and not notice the little movements in Fufeng City for the time being. You should be more vigilant during this period and not let suspicious people get into the city anymore."

"Here."

...

As the end of the year is getting closer, the people in Shengjing City have begun to buy New Year's goods.

The palace is also busier than usual. All palaces and places are sorting out the accounts for the year. According to convention, the palace must check the accounts once a year to avoid anyone from filling their pockets and losing public funds.

The person responsible for presiding over the inventory is usually the queen.

But now there is no queen in the palace, so the imperial concubine can only take charge of the matter.

Xixi has been feeling a little restless these two days. She was not in the mood to care about the trivial matters, so she simply pushed it out and left it to Baoqin and Zhezhi to handle it.

Today, she followed Luo Qinghan to the imperial study as usual.

Luo Qinghan and the court officials were discussing political affairs, and Xiao Xixi lay on the soft and comfortable soft collapse as usual, but she couldn't sleep.

She always felt a sense of anxiety in her heart.

This is a feeling of uneasiness.

And her premonition has always been very accurate.

Xiao Xixi lifted the quilt and sat up, and began to count the time with her fingers. Now it has been half a month since her second senior brother Wen Jiucheng and Shangkui went to Fufeng City.

In the past half a month, she has not received any news from her second senior brother.

The reason why she was worried was because something happened to her second senior brother, Shang Kui?

Xiao Xixi wanted to tell a fortune for the second senior brother, but with her current physical condition, if she was telling the fortune now, she would probably fall asleep again. Luo Qinghan would definitely be angry that she would not cherish her body.

She thought seriously with her little face tense, and finally decided to tell Luo Qinghan the truth.

She wanted to explain the power of the matter to him. She believed that Luo Qinghan was not the kind of person who could not tell the difference. This matter was related to the safety of the second senior brother, and Luo Qinghan should understand her.

Just then, she heard a scream outside.

"The Qiandao Kingdom has really sent troops?!"

Xiao Xixi heard it, this was the voice of one of the cabinet ministers.

Next was Luo Qinghan's voice. His voice was low and cold, very recognizable.

“I have received a secret report from 800 miles in a hurry.

The secret report said that the Thousand Islands had sent nearly a hundred ships.

The ships of the Thousand Islands plundered our Dasheng merchant ships on the sea and killed all the Dasheng people on the ships.

And those ships are quickly approaching Wanhai City.

Calculate the time, they should be near Wanhaicheng Port now, and maybe the two sides have started a war."

Once this statement is expressed, it is like a stone causing a thousand layers of waves.

The cabinet ministers knew that this matter was extraordinary. Wanhai City was an important port for their maritime trade. Once captured, it would cause huge losses to the court.

More importantly, this battle was related to the face of Dasheng Dynasty.

As a great country, they are now bullied by a small Thousand Islands. If they cannot make a strong counterattack, other countries will regard them as useless soft eggs in the future!

The cabinet ministers immediately had a heated discussion on who should lead troops to assist Wanhai City and the specific plans for maritime operations.

The discussion continued until late at night.

Luo Qinghan got up and walked into the inner room.

He thought Xixi had fallen asleep, but he didn't expect that she was sitting on the soft couch in a daze.

Luo Qinghan was quite surprised: "Why didn't you sleep?"

Xiao Xixi sighed: "I want to sleep, but I can't sleep."

Luo Qinghan was even more surprised: "You still can't sleep?"

Xiao Xixi defended herself seriously: "I am also a human being, of course I can't sleep when I am disturbed by my thoughts."

Luo Qinghan: "Isn't it just hunger that can prevent you from sleeping in this world?"

Xiao Xixi: "..."

There is no need to be so straightforward.

Xiao Xixi hummed and said, "Why don't you ask me what I have to worry about?"

Luo Qinghan sat down beside her, reached out to wrap her arms around her waist, and asked along with her words.

"What are your worries?"

Xiao Xixi: "My second senior brother went to Fufeng City to find the senior brother. It has been half a month since he came back. I am worried that something happened to him."

Luo Qinghan knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings: "Do you want to tell your second senior brother a fortune?"

"Well, I want to know if he is safe now."

Xiao Xixi showed a flattering smile on her face. She grabbed Luo Qinghan's sleeve and shook it gently, begging in a soft voice.

"I am really worried about the safety of my second senior brother. I can't sleep anymore. Can you let me tell you a fortune for my second senior brother? Just one fortune, okay?"

Luo Qinghan gently stroked her cheeks and whispered two words.
