Fortunately, the rain has almost stopped, and the dark clouds have subsided a lot, otherwise she would be a chicken in the soup now.

Unconsciously, she walked to the imperial garden, found a stone pavilion and sat down to rest, and after a glance, she caught a glimpse of a human figure, and said, "Come out, don't hide, I see you." ”

Hearing this, the figure shrank back again.

Xue Ning snorted, simply got up and walked in front of her, stretched out his hand to press on the branch, revealing her face, and looked at the clothes on her body, "You are not the palace maid next to the queen, what are you doing with me?"

Lan Rui stared at this face and was stunned, looked at her blankly for a while, knelt down with a "poof", lowered her head and replied, "Slave maid, slave maid is the personal maid of the Duchess of the Protector Lan Rui, the slave maid wants to ask, ask ......"

"If you don't say anything, I'll leave. ”

"The slave maid wants to ask the girl's name and whose daughter she is. Lan Rui was already shocked, she had met many people similar to the young lady, but she was far less similar to the person in front of her.

The eyebrows, the look, the expression when you raise your eyebrows, everything is like that.

Duchess of the Protectorate...... Xue Ning searched in his mind, but he didn't find the memory of this person, and he didn't even hear it.

She said casually, "My father is the Hu family, and the little girl has a single name, if my sister has nothing else to do, I will leave first." ”

Lan Rui watched Xue Ning leave, did not return to the queen's palace, and had been waiting here for the Duchess of the Protector, and immediately told her the news she had heard.

After hearing this, the Duchess of the Protector frowned, "Nonsense, she's teasing you, why do you believe it?"

Lan Rui, who realized it later, was stunned, grabbed her hair, and glanced in the direction where Xue Ning left, "Do you want to ask the queen anymore?"

Thinking of the queen's attitude just now, the Duchess Huguo shook her head, "That's it, let's go back." ”

Outside the vermilion palace gate, the carriage with the jade plate of the protector slowly left, and Xue Ning turned his back to the carriage, holding the palace wall with one hand, his legs were weak, and he beat his calves with the other.

The carriage was far away, and she just straightened up and turned.

The queen sent a carriage to fetch her, but did not send a carriage to send her back, saying that this person had no selfish intentions and deliberately made things difficult for her, but she did not believe it, so she walked back from the palace stubbornly.

The clothes on his body were wet and uncomfortable, Xue Ning walked into the courtyard with the support of the maid, I don't know when, two eunuchs stood outside the door, saw Xue Ning come back, raised his eyes and looked at it and then drooped down.

The maid whispered: "An hour ago, these two people have been guarding here, and the emperor ordered them to guard the prince. ”

Xue Ning moved into the room and immediately asked the maid to close the door.

She lowered her voice and asked, "What's the matter? These two people are gatekeepers? The emperor sent them over, isn't this a clear belief in their slander?"

"It's just two eunuchs, and they can't stand me. Li Yinhong grabbed her wrist, pulled her to her lap and sat down, raised her hand and gently rubbed her knee, "She punished you for kneeling?"

"That's not it, it just made me stand for a while, and the wind blew for a while, and it rained for a while, and I was inexplicably waited for an hour to come back, and there was no car to send me, so I had to walk back on my two legs, so tired. She leaned on his arms, enjoying Li Yinhong's massage, squinting her eyes contentedly, not noticing a trace of displeasure and coldness flashing in Li Yinhong's eyes.

It doesn't matter, everything doesn't matter, as long as he can pull the person behind him into the water, whether there is evidence or not, it doesn't matter if his father believes him or not.

The breathing of the person in her arms slowly stabilized, Li Yinhong carried the person to the bed, accompanied her, and when the person woke up, it was already dark.

Xue Ning rubbed her eyes, her face was dazed, as if she hadn't woken up from her dream yet, Li Yinhong sat beside her, pressed against her earlobe, and said something, she was a little sluggish, blinked, and nodded.

She put on a coat and walked out of the door, covering her heart, as if she was startled, her eyes widened angrily, and she glared at the two people who seemed to be fooling around, "Don't you sleep? This midnight, standing outside the door like a ghost, look at me, if you are scared of anything, are you responsible?"

"Miss Xue, this is the emperor's order, let the servants look at the prince. ”

"Fart! The emperor let you look at the prince, let you look at me? What are you doing in front of my door, what do you want to see, en?" Xue Ning's pampering and arrogant attitude was very good, raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, raised his chin, pointed to the noses of the two and scolded: "I know, you don't take me in your eyes before I pass the door, right? Okay, don't you want to look at the prince, what are you doing outside the door, how good it is to look at the bed!"

The two looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Xue Ning said again: "You are the people sent by the emperor, and I don't embarrass you, so let's do it, you will stay away at night in the future." ”

"But the slave ......"

"But what? Could it be that you still want to eavesdrop, where will I put my face in the future? Besides, where can the prince go to sleep at night? What's wrong with you guarding outside the courtyard, I feel embarrassed for you, right? Okay, then you can keep watch here, it's a big deal that I will go to the emperor in person tomorrow!"

The other immediately raised his hand and touched the eunuch who spoke, answered his words, and said, "The slave understands, the slave will leave." ”

A man and a woman are in the room, and no one else is allowed to guard the door, what else can they do.

Watching the two of them walk outside the courtyard, Xue Ning breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed his coat and returned to the room, closed the room tightly, his slender back pressed against the door, and exhaled.

"I didn't expect them to be so easy to talk to, it scared me to death. ”

Li Yinhong's eyes were deep and he approached her, "The acting skills are good." ”

"That's natural. Xue Ning raised his head proudly.

The tall figure obscured the candlelight, and large shadows cast her, enveloping her.

Li Yinhong pinched her chin, smiled ill-intentionedly, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "What do you mean by eavesdropping?"

The crow-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and the soft palm was tightly attached to his hand, Xue Ning smiled, his eyes staring at him like a soul, "Naturally, I am afraid that they will eavesdrop...... I'm hitting you!"

She suddenly raised her hand, slapped him on the arm, and scolded angrily: "What are you thinking in your head, well? I tell you, if you don't solve this matter, don't you want to go to my bed, stay below! Don't disturb my sleep!"

The loud sound was scary, the courtyard door was not closed, the two eunuchs were listening outside, and couldn't help but glance at each other, it seems that the prince is a strict wife, I really didn't expect it.

As soon as the courtyard door was closed, the man in black quietly landed in the courtyard, knocked the door panel three times, entered the room smoothly, and immediately knelt on one knee, "Say hello to the master!"
