As usual, when Li Yu shouted to Li Shen, Li Shen would come out of the house to greet him.

But today, Li Shen was a little late.

Li Yu shouted three times more than usual before Li Shen walked out of Ning Song's room, "Xiao Yu is back?"

"Well, I'm back, and my mother is back too. Also, look what I brought back?" Li Yu happily ran over, took Li Shen's hand, and pointed at Bai Gu's hand.

Bai Yu was in charge of driving the carriage and accompanied them to the prefecture.

The first time she went there, Lin Xirou came out quickly and Bai Gu did not enter the back house.

But this time, Lin Xirou and Li Yu stayed from morning to afternoon, and had lunch in the back house of the prefect. The prefect's wife ordered Bai Gu to come into the back house and have dinner with the servants of the house.

Li Shen saw the wood-carved sika deer in Bai Gu's hand and smiled slightly, "What an exquisite wood carving."

"Xiaoyu competed with several children from the prefect's family in calligraphy and painting today and won the first place. This was rewarded by the prefect's wife." Lin Xirou said with a smile.

"Hey, daddy, am I awesome?" Li Yu looked up at Li Shen with an expression asking for praise.

Li Shen picked him up and said, "Awesome, not bad!"

Lin Xirou had something important to say, so she walked over and patted Li Yu, "Go play with Uncle Hei Niu for a while. Mom and your dad have something to discuss."

"Okay." Although Li Yu was naughty, he would never make a fuss as long as Lin Xirou and Li Shen said they wanted to discuss things.

At this time, Zhou Heiniu, who never participated in important things, was responsible for taking him to play.

Li Yu called Zhou Heiniu and pulled Tian Erya. The three of them took the wooden carving of Bai Gu and went to the main room to play.

Lin Xirou handed the letter Fu Sanniang copied from her purse to Li Shen to read, "Look at this, this is today's harvest."

Bai Gu Ningsong also leaned over to take a look.

After the three of them read it, they were all surprised.

"Come in and talk." Li Shen nodded towards them.

Everyone entered the east room.

Tian Erya and Zhou Heiniu never liked eavesdropping, but liked to eavesdrop when Fu Sanniang was not at home.

They said things reassuringly.

"I guess this Wang Zhifu is from King Rui! When his boss Zhou found out what the problem was, he found an excuse to arrest him. He didn't dare to kill boss Zhou, so he sent him to the capital. Handed over to Prince Rui." Lin Xirou said her guess.

"Secretary Cui of Hubu?" Bai Yu narrowed his eyes, "This man is actually from Prince Rui? My father doesn't know yet!"

"Bai Yu, you have to go to the capital immediately and tell Shangshu Bai the details of Cui Shilang." Li Shen nodded towards Bai Yu.

Bai Gu's father is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Although Bai Gu belongs to Prince Li Shen, his father Bai Shangshu has always been a neutral figure in the court.

If his subordinates turn to King Rui's side and Shangshu Bai insists on staying neutral, there will definitely be danger.

Bai Yu frowned, "Master, I left, what will you do here? You don't have enough people around you!"

Among the eight guards, Mu Huai died.

Bai Gu and Ning Song found Li Shen and have been sticking with him for the past few years.

The other five were scattered in other places, collecting evidence that King Rui deliberately murdered the emperor and the prince.

"Bai Gu, don't you still have me? Don't underestimate me, okay?" Ning Song patted his chest. "Your hands are only good at cooking and chopping vegetables. Let's forget about fighting." Bai An snorted lightly and shook his head.

Ning Song's face was dark, "Bai Gu, you look down on me! I practice swordplay every day now, and my skill has greatly improved! My cousin said I'm better than four years ago!"

"Hey, how about we compete?" Bai Gu began to roll up his sleeves.

"Compare! Who is afraid of whom?"

"Okay, how old are you and are you still noisy?" Li Shen stopped the two people who were at war with each other.

Bai Yu and Ning Songhe glared, then retracted their hands together and put down their sleeves.

"Master, I really don't trust you. Besides, there is now Young Master Yu. Besides, this Wang Zhifu is a member of Prince Rui. If he finds out about you..." Bai Yu frowned again.

"We are in the dark, what can he find about us?" Li Shen said calmly, "You just go to Beijing, and then find a way to contact the other five people, and report the recent progress to me."

Li Shen gave the order, and Bai Gu could only respond, "Yes!"

After Bai Yu and Ning Song left, Li Shen held Lin Xirou's hand and looked at her seriously, "Are you afraid?"

Lin Xirou raised her lips slightly, pretending to be confused and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm going back to the capital. The people there don't want me to go back, so I have to remove all obstacles. But how can those people allow me to go back smoothly? They will definitely set up many obstacles."

"It's not because of you, I'm not afraid." Lin Xirou hugged Li Shen, "It was so dangerous back then, and we all escaped. Now we are hiding and they are hiding, and they are afraid of us."

Li Shen stroked her face, "This time, I will block those dangers."
.
  The matter was urgent. Before dinner, Bai Yu took his luggage and dry food and hurried to Guancheng Gate, leaving Shangzhou Mansion and heading to the capital.
.
  I thought that the situation would improve if the prefect's wife, who had been bedridden for a long time, could get up and entertain Lin Xirou.

Unexpectedly, on the second day after Bai Yu left Shangzhou Prefecture, something happened to the prefect's wife.

Lin Xirou left her address to Mrs. Qin, the steward of the prefect's back house, and Mrs. Qin sent someone to the small house.

"Ms. Lin, hurry up, come with me to see Madam!" The one who came to pick up Lin Xirou was Cuiyu, the eldest girl next to Madam Magistrate.

It was rare for her to go out to see a doctor, which showed that something serious had happened to the prefect's wife.

Because those who usually ask for doctors are the second-class girls or deputy stewards in the house.

With the status of a first-class young lady like a deputy young lady, she would not go out lightly.

"What happened?" Lin Xirou called Zhou Heiniu to hitch the donkey cart and hurried out.

Cuiyu's face was pale and she was stammering, so the situation might be bad.

"Madam...Madam swallowed the medicine." Cuiyu cried.

"What?" Lin Xirou was shocked. She turned back and shouted to Zhou Heiniu, "No need to prepare a donkey cart! I'll ride a horse!"

Lin Xirou didn't take the donkey cart or even Cuiyu's carriage. She directly took a horse from home and hurried to the magistrate's back house.

She used to stay in the Imperial Palace Hospital all year round and didn't have to go out, so she didn't know how to ride a horse or a donkey, let alone drive a cart. After arriving in Tianfeng Village and buying a donkey and horse, Li Shen taught her how to ride a horse and how to ride a donkey. She drives.

Although her riding skills are not as good as Li Shenbai's and Ning Song's, she is better than ordinary horse riders.

Riding her horse and whip, she arrived at the prefect's back house in half a bowl of tea.

When Cuiyu left, the two women guarding the door already knew that Cuiyu had gone to pick up Lin Xirou.

At this moment, Lin Xirou came ahead of time, and the two of them were immediately let go.

"Keep an eye on the horse for me. I have to go see Madam quickly. It's too late!" Lin Xirou left the horse to the two of them and hurried to the back house.
