After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

"Clang...!"

The teapot in Luo Sheng's hand fell to the ground, and the crisp sound of breaking broke the silence in the study.

He opened his mouth wide and looked at his uncle in great horror.

Luo Ye's expression was extremely calm, as if nothing had happened.

He even walked over, bent down, and picked up the pieces of the teapot on the ground.

"Don't act so frivolously."

"Old six..."

"Your father passed away early. Uncle, I have always treated you as my own son."

"So, uncle didn't hide this from you tonight, and even called you over, just because he wanted you to see it with your own eyes."

Luo Ye sat at the tea table and waved to the pale-faced Luo Sheng, "Sixth, come and sit down. I have something to tell you."

"Your grandfather is not dead."

"He can't die yet!"

Luo Ye turned his head and looked at his father lying in Lao Liang's arms, and waved:

"Lao Liang, father is tired, take him down to rest..."

"I have given you the medicine. He cannot die, but he cannot speak or write."

"When the Regent returns to Beijing, I will go behind his back to apologize to the Regent!"

Lao Liang nodded silently, placed a finger on Old Duke Luo, picked him up and walked into the thick fog.

The lights in the study stayed on until dawn.

It will be clear, but it is not yet clear.

But the morning fog is thicker, and the whole of Kyoto seems to be still in a deep sleep and has not yet woken up.

In the thick fog before dawn, a carriage left the Duke Luo's mansion.

Also in this thick fog, three carriages drove into Kyoto and arrived at the Plum Garden.

Sitting in the carriage of Duke Luo's Mansion was Luo Sheng, the sixth young master of Luo Mansion.

What got out of the three carriages that stopped at the gate of Meiyuan was Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui.

Xiao Baozi stood at the door of Meiyuan.

There were two lanterns hanging under the eaves that were still not extinguished.

Under the dim light, the words "Mei Yuan" on the lintel can be faintly discerned.

She looked at that word and that door and laughed happily.

She stretched and seemed to remember something, then tugged on Xia Hua's sleeves, pointed to the still closed door and said:

"Hua, we are finally home!"

Family!

Xia Hua's eyes lit up and she touched the flute at her waist. The tiredness on her face was instantly swept away, and it bloomed like a flower.

Walking along this road for a long time, Xia Hua thought about what that home looked like countless times.

Xiao Baozi said it was called Plum Garden, and there were many plum trees planted in it.

When the snow falls, those plum blossoms bloom, which is really beautiful.

Especially in the pavilion in the snow, smelling the fragrance of the winter plums, stewing a pot of dog meat and warming a pot of wine.

Drinking wine, eating dog meat, admiring the blooming plum blossoms...

Xia Hua doesn't quite believe this, because this sister Xiao likes dog meat, but doesn't care about flower viewing——

What she cares more about is raising cattle!

Xia Hua turned to look at Li Chenan. She thought that when she arrived at the door of her house, Li Chenan would knock on the door, but unexpectedly, Li Chenan waved to them.

He walked toward the next door.

Just when he reached the door, the door creaked open.

A middle-aged man holding a lantern stood in front of the door. He took a closer look with the lantern and grinned.

He is Wen Boiyu!

He walked down the steps and bowed:

"Thank you Regent!"

Li Chenan also laughed. He stepped forward and held Wen Boiyu's arms: "We haven't seen each other for two years, you are very particular."

"rule!"

"Nothing can be done without rules. I used to be quite unorganized."

"At that time, I had no official position and no position, so I could just be casual. Now that I am the chief minister, I must set an example for those officials."

"Prince Regent, please come in..." He looked at the four girls following Li Chenan and bowed again:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in!"

He used the title empress. Obviously he knew the relationship between these four women and Li Chenan, and had regarded Li Chenan as the emperor.

He also did not call Ning Chuchu the fourth princess.

The old era has passed, and the identity of the fourth princess is quite embarrassing, so it would be more appropriate to call her empress.

Xiao Baozi and Xia Hua didn't know these etiquettes, but Zhongli Ruoshui and Ning Chuchu did.

At least they are not empresses in the palace at the moment.

But Wen Bo Yu is extremely important to Li Chenan.

They quickly wished Wen Zhuiyu a blessing. Li Chenan gave a wry smile and shook his head, "It's cold outside, lead the way!"

……

……

Live quietly.

study.

The cold morning mist was shut out, and a pot of tea was brewed on the tea table in the study.

Zhongli Ruoshui had guessed that Li Chenan and Wen Boiyu must have something extremely important to discuss. He wanted to avoid it, but Li Chenan waved his hand.

So, the four women sat quietly aside.

Wen Boyu didn't seem to take it seriously either, and then Fang opened his mouth and said:

"I got your first secret letter half a month ago. The Luo Mansion is under close surveillance by the Seventh Department of the Imperial City Department."

"The City Defense Department has abolished the need for road navigation in and out of Kyoto, so it is not easy to conduct a one-by-one investigation."

"I then ordered the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, Xiangdong, to pay close attention to the movements of Luo Sheng, the young governor of Jingzhao Mansion..."

"Luo Sheng, whose courtesy name is Dong'an, is the sixth young master of Duke Luo's mansion. He came home very early yesterday. The Seventh Department of the Imperial City Division reported secretly that Luo Ye, the eldest son of the Luo family, is back."

After taking a pinch of tea and putting it into the teapot, Wen Boyu raised his head and looked at Li Chenan:

"The matter mentioned in your letter, based on my understanding of Mr. Luo over the years... he should not have the courage."

Li Chenan pondered for three breaths: "What's the reason?"

"That old fox knows what it means to assess the situation!"

"Huang Country is the enemy of our Ning Country. He knows what consequences selling illegal salt to the enemy will bring to the Luo Mansion."

"He is already very old. When this person is old, he hopes to have a good death and will not take risks easily..."

"His Luo Mansion originally stood with Ji Tai. In what happened two years ago, even if his whole family was not executed, it would not be an exaggeration to send the whole family into exile."

"You have forgiven him, and he has been very lucky in the past two years, so...I think it is most likely that his eldest son Luo Ye did this."

"Because no one knows the salt fields of Luo Mansion better than Luo Ye."

Li Chenan nodded slightly, "I sent someone to tell you a few days ago that I came back to Beijing early this morning and wanted to meet you. It was not mainly for this matter."

"...What is that?"

"What's going on with the Kingdom of Wu!"

Wen Boyu frowned: "Li Shangshu's negotiation was not going well?"

Li Chenan shook his head: "The negotiation went smoothly. After all, Wu Hui is about to ascend the throne as emperor, but I got some bad news."

"After the death of the former crown prince Wu Qian, Empress Qi was imprisoned in the cold palace. All the main figures of the Qi family in Kyoto, the powerful family of Wu State, were exiled. However, there was a gap in the hundred secrets, and it happened that an important figure in the Qi family escaped."

"His name is Qi Lifu."

"He went to the vassal territory of the Fourth Prince Jade Prince Wu Chang!"

"Wu Chang did not capture him, but instead treated him as a distinguished guest!"

Wen Boyu was startled: "So, Wu Chang's rebellious intentions have been revealed. What do you mean... are you going to send troops to help Wu Hui?"

"No!"

"I want to do some business with Wu Hui, but he is my uncle after all. If he bargains with me, Qin'er will be in a dilemma."

"I have thought about this matter over and over again, and it would be better for you to write a letter and give it to Emperor Wu, saying that the fireworks will be sold to him at cost price."

"One is considered...one hundred taels of silver."

"Pay the money and deliver the goods at Wuya Pass!" (End of this chapter)
