Chapter 419 An Unknown Omen
"Concubine Rao is so considerate of Yao'er, Yao'er is extremely grateful."
Jiang Yunluo already understood the reason and quickly thanked him.
Concubine Rao sighed again and didn't say anything more about the matter. Instead, she asked a few questions about Luo Hongxiao's condition.
Jiang Yunluo didn't dare to go into too much detail. She just chatted briefly and left with an excuse.
Walking back alone, I felt a little complicated.
In the harem, she really couldn't trust anyone completely.
Even if it was the concubine Rao who was so real just now.
But if she really has another purpose...it's hard to see what it is now.
That's it.
Take it one step at a time.
the other side--
Inside the tall courtyard wall, Yu Chiyan was leaning against the wall, staring at a tree in front of him.
A little brown clothes were exposed beside the tree.
There seems to be someone else, standing against the tree at the moment.
The two were whispering something.
After a while, Yu Chiyan snorted coldly.
"Luo Jingjiang is well prepared. The show... will start soon. Please... don't forget to promise me the king."
So, another three days passed——
In the afternoon, Jiang Yunluo was crouching at the desk, reading the newly submitted expedited transfer book for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
Out of the corner of his eye, a figure suddenly appeared.
Jiang Yunluo only glanced at the hem of clothes and the sound and way of the other person walking. She knew who the person was. She immediately lowered her face and said coldly: "You are not welcome here, get out."
Ling Fengshuo stopped just outside the door.
He has long been accustomed to being treated like this by her, and there was no trace of embarrassment or anger on his face. He just said calmly: "Emperor Ming has summoned you and me."
Jiang Yunluo: "..."
She reluctantly put down the letter and said coldly: "When?"
Ling Fengshuo replied: "Now."
Jiang Yunluo: "..."
She rolled her eyes in her heart and stood up angrily.
Without looking at Ling Fengshuo, he walked straight out of the courtyard.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Luo Hongxiao's bedroom one after another.
He looks pretty good today and is leaning on the bedside, waiting for the two of them.
"Father."
Jiang Yunluo bowed first, then sat by the bed and asked a few questions about his health and medication.
In the middle of the process, Ling Fengshuo didn't even look at him.
After that, he reported to him about the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
Luo Hongxiao also nodded repeatedly.
Then the conversation suddenly changed: "This South-to-North Water Diversion project has started construction at several lakes in the south of Beiming at the same time. You are alone and have no skills. It just so happened that a few days ago, I had studied the route map of your previous plan with King Shuo. Why don't you two handle this matter together? With his help, you might as well..."
"No need."
Jiang Yunluo held her breath in her chest and refused directly!
She has no habit of asking others for help when she can solve things!
What's more, this person is Ling Fengshuo!
"Father."
Jiang Yunluo's eyes were determined, leaving no room for negotiation: "It's enough for Yao'er to do this alone. Letting unfamiliar people come will only cause more trouble."
"But……"
"Father."
Jiang Yunluo interrupted him again: "Yao'er promised you before that he would personally supervise the matter. If there are no mistakes, suddenly letting others intervene may be a slap in Yao'er's face."
Ling Fengshuo, who had remained silent the entire time, changed his expression slightly.
Luo Hongxiao was also startled.
half an hour-
When he met her eyes, he finally knew that he could not convince the person in front of him, so he had no choice but to wave his hand: "In that case, I'll let you do it, but you must remember that if you really encounter difficulties, don't show off alone."
Jiang Yunluo nodded: "Father, don't worry, there is also Mu Li."
Hearing this name at this time, Ling Fengshuo's fingertips suddenly tightened.
Regret welled up in my heart for the ten thousandth time.
Jiang Yunluo was no longer in the mood to stay any longer, and after briefly caring about Luo Hongxiao's health, she made an excuse to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got up——
A red object suddenly fell from the bed.
She reacted very quickly and reached out to catch it before she landed.
But there was another pair of hands moving just as fast as hers.
The two hands fell together steadily.
Jiang Yunluo held the peace knot in her palm.
Ling Fengshuo's hand was placed under hers, burning hot.
The next moment-
The two of them retracted their hands at the same time as if they were electrocuted.
"Clap" sound.
The peace knot still fell to the ground.
Jiang Yunluo frowned and hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
Eunuch Ma on the side also said "Yeah", looking a little flustered.
This peace knot naturally symbolizes good fortune and health.
Normally, it would be impossible for such folk objects to appear in Luo Hongxiao's dormitory.
But this was given by Jiang Yunluo personally, so that was different.
Luo Hongxiao liked this red gadget very much. He would just stare at it and glance at it, and his mood seemed to improve.
But now the knot of peace is broken for no reason, but...
But it’s an “unknown” sign!
There was silence in the hall.
Jiang Yunluo looked at the loose knot in her hand. Although she didn't believe it, she knew that the royal family was very concerned about these claims. She quickly comforted: "The materials used by this stall owner are too poor, and the rope is not tied firmly. It must have fallen off, Yao I will leave the palace immediately and give my father a good one!"
After saying that, she didn't stop for a moment, turned around and walked out.
He took a step, but suddenly thought of something and stopped again——
"My father is not feeling well. Since Yao'er and King Shuo have made an engagement, please bother him to chat with your father here to relieve his boredom. Yao'er can rest assured."
She glanced at Ling Fengshuo warningly, indicating that he was not allowed to follow her, and then she strode away.
He called Huayue again and went straight out of the palace.
On the way, I didn't notice anyone following me.
Oh, he knows what he is looking for.
The carriage drove all the way away from the palace and came to a shop with the most skilled embroidery workers in the city.
When I walked in, I took a piece of silver and said I wanted to customize a peace knot.
It is still the New Year period, and every shop has the best materials and jade beads for embellishment, which can be freely matched.
The shopkeeper took Jiang Yunluo and picked around the shop.
He also said that he should do it immediately, it would only take an hour.
Jiang Yunluo agreed and waited in the store for a while before she felt a little bored. She said hello to the waiter and said she would go out for a walk and come back later to get it.
The atmosphere on the street was as lively as ever.
But I don’t know why, but there are a lot less cries.
There were even many stalls that were empty.
There didn't seem to be as many people as there were a few days ago.
The Chinese New Year is a good time to do business, so why would anyone hold it in at home?
And so many?
Jiang Yunluo was puzzled and randomly asked a stall owner to inquire about the situation.
The other party was a young man selling sugar water. When he saw Jiang Yunluo talking to him, he blushed at first and stammered for a long time. Then he finally organized his words and said loudly: "Back...back...back to the princess! In recent days, in the city, there have been Many people fell ill for no apparent reason! So many people are missing!"
