Li Lijun stayed another night in Fengxian County, and when she was about to turn back and head west, people from the Sui Palace chased her.

It was a confidant of King Sui who came with a small team of people. It looked like they had a hard time traveling. He thought that Li Lijun had just arrived in Fengxian County not long ago and would stay here for a few days, but he didn't expect her.

We had already looked at a few pieces of land and were about to leave. We were even startled. We kept congratulating ourselves that we were on our way in a hurry, otherwise we would have gotten sidetracked with the Fourth Lady.

However, he was a little puzzled: "Didn't the Fourth Lady tell the prince that she wanted to bury the concubine near the Qiaoling Tomb? You don't find these pieces of land attractive to you? What will happen to the concubine's funeral?"

Li Lijun did not answer, but asked him: "Aweng asked you to come, is there something urgent?"

The young steward then came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Young man came here on the order of the prince to ask the fourth lady to help find out the news. In two days, people from Prince Zou's palace will come to Qiaoling and ask the fourth lady to ask

I asked, how is the old prince's condition? Is it really bad?"

This time it was Li Lijun's turn to be shocked: "What happened to old King Zou's health? Wasn't he fine a few days ago? On the seventh day of my mother's life, he even came to offer incense!" By the way, he was tied up and killed.

Chen's accomplices of the murderer came over, asked the witness to identify his face, and then escorted him to Jingzhao Yamen.

The young steward smiled bitterly: "Who says it's not the case? The old prince came to visit that day, and everyone who met him said he looked good. Who would have thought that in the past few days, news suddenly came out from Prince Zou's mansion that his condition had worsened. The prince thought that there was something wrong with him at home.

As a matter of fact, I was afraid of collision and couldn't come to visit myself, so I asked the prince and his wife of Jiyin to send their greetings. The prince and his wife went to Prince Zou's Mansion, and when they came back, they said that the old prince was lying on the bed, unable to speak, and his face was full of illness.

But his mind was still clear. After asking his children and grandchildren, they all said that the old man was seriously ill and had not improved even after taking medicine, so the family was very worried. The prince was not sure, but an angel came to the palace, and the saint was also very concerned about Zou.

Regarding Wang's condition, he asked the prince to think of a way to ask his family members. The prince thought that the old King Zou cared about the fourth lady the most, and if the fourth lady asked, the people in his family would definitely not hide it, so he sent the little boy away.

Come and send a message."

Li Lijun's heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help but think of the news that little Gao Lishi told her privately. Could it be that old King Zou was using his "serious illness" to urge the emperor to issue an edict and agree to his request?

This matter is difficult to judge. She is not in Chang'an City now, and has not seen the appearance of old King Zou with her own eyes, so she is not sure whether he is really sick or fake.

Since the emperor asked the Sui King, he must have had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't openly question it. He asked someone else for fear of leaking the information, so he had to ask his own brother for help. The Sui King probably didn't want to visit Lao Zou in person.

The king's secret was simply found on his little granddaughter. Anyway, the friendship between the old King Zou and Chen Weng is here. Chen Weng's only blood descendant wants to know the condition of the old King Zou. There is no reason for the people in the Zou Prince's Mansion to turn him away.

Outside the door.

Li Lijun pondered for a moment and then asked the steward: "What are the people from Prince Zou's mansion doing in Qiaoling? Who is here?"

The steward said: "I heard that he is the second grandson of the old prince. Because the old prince's condition is not getting better, he was ordered by his grandfather to come over and see if the old prince's cemetery should be repaired. If something really happened,

It can be regarded as being prepared so that you won't be in a hurry; if nothing happens, if you rush, maybe the old prince's condition will improve."

Oh, by the way. Old King Zou also has a reserved burial pit in Qiaoling. His first two princesses have been buried here. Now, regardless of whether the old man is really sick or fake, it is better to send a grandson to repair the tomb first.

This is proof. Anyway, even if the old man "recovers" afterwards, it can be said that he is ready after "rushing". He can advance, attack, retreat or defend.

When Li Lijun heard this, she knew something in her heart. She had met the old King Zou since that day, and heard little Gao Lishi mention the current situation of Prince Zou's mansion, and gradually recalled the memories of her childhood.

She has actually met the grandsons of old King Zou many times, but in the past two years, old King Zou has been in poor health, and his family has gone out less in order to take care of his illness. His parents and grandchildren are indeed outstanding, and they are the traditional ones.

He is a handsome young man with both civil and military skills. No wonder the elders like him. But this eldest brother is a literary young man and is not very good at common affairs. The second brother who is good at common affairs is his second brother. In his early years, he asked Chen Weng for advice on business management.

At the age of seven, he took charge of the industrial affairs of Prince Zou's house and managed them in an orderly manner. The third son of his family was obsessed with poetry and painting and had no interest in general affairs. The rest were young and Li Lijun had hardly seen them, so he didn't mention them.

Generally speaking, if King Zou's physical condition is really bad and the family has to prepare for a funeral, his second grandson will definitely stay at home and take charge of the overall situation. For small things like repairing the cemetery, he can just send a steward.

It can be done, so why ask his second grandson to do it himself? This man can travel two hundred miles to Qiaoling, and even the steward of the Sui Palace can arrive two days earlier than him, which shows that the matter is not in a hurry at all.

Old King Zou is indeed playing a cruel trick.

Li Lijun suddenly felt at ease. She still respected and was grateful to the old King Zou, and she hoped that his wishes would come true. As long as the old man was not really seriously ill, she would be happy to cooperate with his family members in the performance.

a show.

So Li Lijun said to the manager: "Since Aweng has been sent, I have no reason to refuse. It's just that Aye said that my mother would be buried after March 7th. Now that March 7th is approaching, I have no time to bury my mother."

Pick a suitable cemetery..."

Before she finished speaking, the steward had already said understandingly: "Don't worry, Si Niang, the prince has thought of this a long time ago. He asked me to tell you, you can just go and see Erlang from Prince Zou's house with peace of mind. The prince is here with the heir.

I won’t neglect the matters after Princess Si’s death. You can choose the cemetery as you wish, and it won’t take a few days anyway.”

Li Lijun let out a "tsk" in her heart. It seemed that the Sui King was still very clear-headed. Even if he gave in, he would not give in too much. Anyway, she had planned to put her mother to rest as soon as possible, so there was no need to follow her at this time.

Grandfather bargains.

So she said cheerfully: "In that case, I will stay in Fengxian County for two more days. The fact that this area was chosen by the late emperor as the location of the mausoleum shows that the feng shui must be good. Although the lands we looked at earlier have various shortcomings

, but maybe there are other better places?”

The young steward hurriedly said: "Just tell me which piece of land the Fourth Lady has chosen, and I will definitely take care of the rest of the things for you! As long as the Fourth Lady completes the tasks assigned by the prince, you can get whatever you want."

Easy to talk about."

Li Lijun raised her eyebrows: "Aweng attaches great importance to this matter." It's just a matter of asking for information. King Sui paid so much attention to it...Is it because the emperor entrusted him with it?

Li Lijun didn't say much, and just asked the innkeeper to renew the rent for three days. She lived in this inn very well, and her food and hygiene were guaranteed. It was outside the city, and the city gates didn't close at sunset.

The restrictions made her movement much easier. She brought a lot of escorts with her, and the officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum nearby would come to the inn from time to time to eat and drink. They didn't dare to disturb them during their leisure time. There was no problem with safety. Most importantly,

Her room has a rare window that opens to the east, which is perfect for her to get up early to practice.

Due to the inconvenience of staying in a hotel during her trip, she actually practiced with the skylights open for two mornings. This hotel could provide her with all kinds of conveniences, so she was naturally happy to stay for two more days.

That night, Li Lijun couldn't help but feel glad that she was still in Fengxian County.

This night, several orange meteors slowly streaked across the sky every hour, probably part of the Taurid meteor shower.

At the same time, a bluish-white meteor with a trail streaked toward the southwest.
