Chapter 161 Investigate the news
In mid-August, the sun was so scorching that it seemed to dry people out, but the lotus in the imperial garden was in full bloom. Next to the lotus pond is a rockery made of soil and strange stones, and full of green bamboos. On the top, an exquisite stone pavilion stands on the top of the mountain.

Ever since entering the palace with Mrs. Ming Fei, what Jin Xingxi loves the most is sitting in this pavilion, condescendingly looking down at the beautiful lotus flowers blooming in the pond, as if he is the master of this harem, and is patrolling the harem. Like Sanqian Fendai, Jin Xingxi had a mocking smile on his face, remembering the lady's expression of regret for Bai Xiaoliu's possible death in Fuyuan County.

In the past, Jin Xingxi might have thought that as long as she married Bai Xiaoliu, her life would be enough, but now she doesn't care about General Bai's Mansion at all, so what about General Bai's Mansion?It's just a mansion for a courtier, but what she wants to marry is a dragon and phoenix among people!
"Miss Jin Wu, Mrs. Ming Fei sent a servant to call you back!" Jin Xingxi was lost in thought, when a thirteen or four-year-old maid went up the rockery, squatted down and saluted, and said with a smile.

"Master called me?" Jin Xingxi raised her eyebrows slightly. Ever since she entered the palace, Mrs. Mingfei hadn't communicated with her. She didn't even bother to say a word to her. She was looking at herself, but why would someone suddenly call her now?She hesitated for a moment, and decided to see what Master Ming Fei was up to, stood up with a smile, nodded to the little maid, and said, "That's it, I'm going to see Master right now!"

Although Jin Xingxi has been rushing all the way back, Master Mingfei still had a dark face when she saw her, and after signaling the maids waiting on the left and right to retreat, she looked at her coldly and said, "Why are you so slow, I don't know how to be a teacher. Are you waiting?"

Jin Xingxi was not frightened by the expression on Master Mingfei's face, smiled lightly, sat down on the chair next to him, and said, "Master, why is he so anxious to see his disciple? You don't want to see Apprentice?"

"The poor nun doesn't want to see you, but there is something that requires you to go out of the palace!" Mrs. Mingfei seemed to have been accustomed to Jin Xingxi's attitude, and said without showing any anger.

"Leaving the palace?" Jin Xingxi raised his eyebrows, but shook his head and said, "Master, you finally agreed to bring your apprentice into the palace, why are you driving him away again now? Outside the palace, what is better than inside the palace?" Something more urgent?"

Jin Xingxi didn't want to go out of the palace. She was threatened by the secret of Ming Fei's wife and forced her to take herself into the palace. Now she hasn't got the person she is waiting for, so how can she just go out like this?

"If you don't go out, how can you see Zhenbei King Qin Zhijian?" As soon as Jin Xingxi finished speaking, Mrs. Mingfei said.

"Master, what do you mean by that?" Jin Xingxi slowly sat up straight after hearing the words, looked at Master Mingfei and asked seriously.

Seeing this, Mrs. Mingfei showed a contemptuous look on her face, and said: "You think that the teacher doesn't know, the reason why you know the secret of the teacher and stay with the teacher is because you want to have the opportunity to get in touch with it, so that you can get along with me." He is close, and when he regains his true identity one day, can you be the one standing beside him? It's just a pity that you have a sense of shame in your heart as a teacher, and you have no face to face it, so you haven't gotten your wish for so long."

"Since the master knows, why doesn't he let the apprentice get what he wants! Anyway, our goals don't seem to be contradictory, are they?" Jin Xingxi looked a little embarrassed when he saw that Master Mingfei had already seen through his own thoughts. None, but said with some blame.

Master Ming Fei nodded, and said, "That's why I let you go out of the palace to meet him this time, Master!"

"But isn't the prince in Fuyuan County now? Master wants his apprentice to go to Fuyuan County?" Jin Xingxi said with some vigilance. She had heard about the severity of the plague in Fuyuan County in the palace. She really wanted to be prosperous and rich. The Venerable Master, one person is less than ten thousand people, but he didn't want to die before this happened, and said suspiciously: "Master didn't mean to let my disciple go to Fuyuan County to catch the plague, and then no one will know about you." Is it a secret?"

"As a teacher, I am a monk!" Master Ming Fei gave Jin Xingxi a cold look and said, implying that if she is not a monk, then it is not necessarily true.

Jin Xingxi also became vigilant after that, the rabbit would bite people when it was in a hurry, not to mention Mrs Ming Fei, who was the emperor's mother, if she really made up her mind to do anything to her, she would have no chance to react.

Seeing this, Mrs. Mingfei didn't say anything. Perhaps she felt that it might not be a bad thing for Jin Xingxi to have this level of worry, so she sneered and said, "Master, let me tell you the truth, there is news from Fuyuan County, but I don't know Whether it's good or bad, the emperor knew that Master was waiting for news from King Zhenbei, but he didn't come to see Master, I'm afraid it's not good news."

It's not good news, does it mean that the plague has not been brought under control, or that King Zhenbei has already been infected with the plague, and will he die?After hearing Mrs. Mingfei's words, Jin Xingxi thought to herself in a daze. She raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Mingfei, and understood why she was in such a hurry to call her here and give herself a chance to see Qin Zhijian again. She was worried about Qin Zhijian. Jian's safety, and knowing that the emperor will not get the answer, so I want to use her to find out the truth. After all, not many people know her secret!
Thinking of this, Jin Xingxi breathed a sigh of relief. Since Mrs. Ming Fei asked her to inquire about the news, she would naturally not let her die. Besides, she went to see Qin Zhijian on behalf of Mrs. Ming Fei, Qin Zhijian Naturally, she should be treated with three points of courtesy, this is indeed a good opportunity to get close to Qin Zhijian!

After thinking everything through, Jin Xingxi regained the smile on his face, got up and put his palms together and bowed to Master Mingfei, saying: "Since the master asked the disciple to go to Fuyuan County, there is no reason for the disciple not to follow. Start now!"

Jin Xingxi promised Master Ming Fei to leave for Fuyuan County immediately, but he did not go out of the city gate directly after leaving the palace. Instead, he went back to the Jin Mansion first. The Elder Master has not returned from the Imperial Hospital. The old lady has gone to Fuyuan County since Jinliu. Afterwards, she ate fast and recited Buddha's name with Mrs. Ru every day, only looking forward to Jin Liu's return as soon as possible. Jin Xingxi did not disturb her old man when she returned, but went directly to Da Furen's Hefengxuan.

"Fifth Miss is back, Fifth Miss is back!"

Amidst the servant girl's repeated reports, Jin Xingxi opened the curtain and entered the Da Furen's room. The Da Furen was reconciling accounts with the steward woman. When she was shocked to hear that Jin Xingxi had returned, she was stunned for a moment. Then he was overjoyed, stood up and greeted him and said: "Aren't you accompanying Mrs. Ming Fei in the palace? Why are you back? You didn't even say hello!"

"I don't have that time to say hello, I'm going out of the palace this time because I have something to do!" Jin Xingxi pulled the eldest lady and said, just as the words fell, the woman in charge came forward to greet her, she only nodded lightly, Said: "Go down first! I have something to tell my mother!"

The woman in charge hurriedly retreated after hearing the words.

Only then did Jin Xingxi pull the eldest lady to sit down on the soft couch again, and said in a low voice: "Mother, have you heard about the second uncle?"

Seeing that Jin Xingxi was going to talk about this, the eldest lady's shoulders collapsed, and she sighed, "I heard about it a long time ago, and I expected him to help us get rid of that girl, but I didn't think he would pay for it first." Fate, your second aunt is so stupid that she even came to her door with the letter I gave her!"

"What!" Jin Xingxi was shocked when she heard the words, and before she had time to ask what happened next, the eldest lady waved her hand and said, "She was threatening me, so she came to me first, but her weight is mine. Opponent, I was on my guard, and within a few words, I got the letter and threw it into the brazier. Without the certificate, I let her cry to death. I just refused to admit it, and she sued the old lady. I can't help it! In the end, for the sake of your cousins, I gave her a few dozen taels of silver and dismissed it."

The eldest lady spoke triumphantly. Since she dared to write a letter to Liu Bo, she was confident that he would not let him use the letter to trouble her. However, she did not expect that it was Liu Bo's widow who used the letter to seek trouble. .Thinking of this, the eldest lady felt complacent again. After all, without her letter, Liu Bo would not have opposed Jin Liu in everything, so maybe he wouldn't die. He was his own brother no matter what. , who grew up together, although the eldest lady looked down on her second sister-in-law, she still felt a little guilty about Liu Bo's death.

Jin Xingxi didn't take her second uncle's death seriously, just now she just passed a message to the eldest lady casually, nodded and said: "Since mother has taken care of everything, that's the best. I came back to change clothes."

"Change clothes?" The eldest lady looked at Jin Xingxi with some confusion.

Jin Xingxi was a little unhappy, "Mother looks at me like this, because she thinks I'm wearing this Taoist robe just right, but you want my daughter to keep wearing this Taoist robe?"

"Of course not! But isn't it time for you to go home?" The lady asked suspiciously. After thinking for a while, her eyes widened and she played with Jin Xingxi excitedly. "Could it be that you received the news, three Did the girl die in Fuyuan County?"

At that time, Jin Xingxi was coerced by Jin Liu to go to the right and wrong nunnery, and it was agreed that she would only come back when Jin Xingxi was old enough. Now, she still has a year to spare. Unless Jin Liu died, how could Jin Xingxi come back before she was old enough? !
The lady looked forward to it, and Jin Xingxi naturally hoped that Jin Liu would die in Fuyuan County, but she shook her head and said, "I haven't heard any definite news, but no matter whether she dies or not, I must return to the lay family this time." I am leaving the palace this time, but I am going to Fuyuan County!"

The eldest lady didn't understand why Jin Xingxi had to change back to ordinary clothes when she went to Fuyuan County, but she was frightened by the news that she was going to Fuyuan County, and said palely: "Are you crazy? What kind of place is Fuyuan County? How can you go there, what if you get infected with the plague! No, you can't go!"

"Mother, this is my master's order, is it possible, do you want me to disobey my master's order?" Jin Xingxi hurriedly said.

"Stop bluffing me. Your master is obedient to you. If you don't want to go, why would she force you to go!" The lady said with a sullen face, "No matter what, it's too dangerous there, you can't go, Now go back to your master!"

"Mother, I have to go to Fuyuan County!" Jin Xingxi's temper also came up, and he stood up and said, "I just came back this time to tell you, not to ask for your opinion. Do you know if my trip to Fuyuan County is a blessing or a curse? Where Jin Liu can go, why can't I go? Could it be that I'm lucky without her?"

"That's not what I meant!" The eldest lady hurriedly said.

"Mother, don't talk!" Jin Xingxi interrupted her words, saying: "Mother, you should know that what I do now is related to the people in the palace. It is better for mother not to interfere. As long as mother knows that I am I'm sure I won't be fooling around, if my life is good, mother will just wait to enjoy the blessings with me, that's fine, it's getting late, I have to set off today, so I won't tell mother, mother will go I'll prepare some clothes and some silver attendants, I'm leaving soon." After speaking, she raised her voice to call the servant girl to come in, and led the servant girl to her own yard.
