Shen Lanying could already guess where she was going.

Qing Zhi took Shen Lanying out of Sikong's house through the back door, climbed over a hill, and crossed a stream.

To be reasonable, if it weren't for Xuan Ling following behind, Shen Lanying would have suspected that Qing Zhi was planning to take her somewhere to do it quietly.

In the distance, I saw a house, not gorgeous, but elegant and exquisite, with blue glazed tiles on the roof, and white paint on the walls, which led the stream into the courtyard, and a circle of thin creepers hanging on the low walls.

Qing Zhi took Shen Lanying to the edge of the house, and a masked man jumped down from the treetops and landed lightly in front of several people.

As soon as the knife-wielding dark guard asked, "Who are you?" his gaze fixed on Shen Lanying.

Qing Zhi looked at him with a smile, "How is it, do you know her?"

The secret guard hurriedly put away his knife, but still didn't let a few people in, and saluted Shen Lanying respectfully, saying, "Girl, there is an order from the Lord, no one can enter without his permission." ”

"Then let's go back. Shen Lanying didn't want to go in the first place, she couldn't wait to go back to the palace quickly.

At this time, Xuan Ling suddenly stepped forward and smiled at the secret guard.

Sikong Yan's secret guards have all been mixed in the rivers and lakes, and they won't fail to recognize Xuan Ling, and they also know that she is Shen Lanying's best friend, so they didn't wary of her, but in the next moment, the dark guard suddenly felt dizzy and weak, and lost consciousness in an instant.

Xuan Ling hugged the unconscious secret guard and muttered, "I hope Brother Sikong won't blame me......"

Shen Lanying, "......"

Although she knew that this mansion was inhabited by Princess Zhaoying, after pushing the door open, Shen Lanying was really taken aback. The interior of the house is gorgeously decorated, the floor is paved with polished and shiny wooden boards, the silk used on the bed, and the furnishings around it are very exaggerated, which is much more luxurious than Lian'an Palace.

"We had just come from the river beach, and our shoes were covered with a lot of dirt, so we didn't go in and stain the house. Shen Lanying turned to look at Qingzhi, not wanting to enter the house at all.

"Don't you wonder who lives in this house?" Qingzhi hooked her lips and smiled mysteriously.

"It's Princess Zhaoying, it's so obvious, what's there to be curious about. Shen Lanying glanced at the overly luxurious room again, "You called me over just to tell me that Princess Zhaoying followed Sikong Yan away?"

"Aren't you surprised?" Qingzhi was surprised, "It can't be that you expected it earlier, right?"

Xuan Ling in the back said faintly, "I'm afraid she knows before you." ”

Qing Zhi's body stiffened slightly, and she heard anger in Xuan Ling's tone. This is not a good sign, she can't beat Xuan Ling. really angered Shen Lanying's best friend, and the consequences were unimaginable.

Xuan Ling is no longer the little girl of Tianquanzhuang who used to be, her deeds of confronting Peng Ze on Mingluo Mountain have spread all over the rivers and lakes, and Qingzhi asked herself if she was Xuan Ling's opponent. She asked Shen Lanying to come out to see Shen Lanying sad and crazy, but Xuan Ling was here, and she didn't dare to say some things.

Qingzhi laughed twice and said, "It turns out that you also have your own news, hey, I don't know." I just want to tell you this important news as soon as possible. After speaking, Qing Zhi turned to Shen Lanying again and climbed her shoulder cordially, "Although you got the news earlier, you definitely haven't been here yet." Don't worry about soiling the house, she won't come back. ”

Won't come back?

"Good. Shen Lanying no longer shirked, and walked into the house generously.

In fact, when the third prince handed over the death to her yesterday, Shen Lanying faintly felt bad in her heart.

There are people in the Li family who collaborate with the enemy, which Sikong Yan expected for a long time, and it can be said unceremoniously that the victory and defeat on the battlefield are now under his control. Therefore, it is impossible for the relationship between victory and defeat to take a sharp turn for the worse, so that he has to leave Beijing immediately, and he doesn't even have time to meet her.

Unless someone is in the way, such as Princess Zhaoying.

Shen Lanying had long known what the situation was, and there was no need to come and see this trip with Qing Zhi.

But she still came, and even she couldn't figure out what kind of psychology she had.

"Let's go around. Qing Zhi smiled very beautifully, "The things here are all bought by him for Jiang Yuwan." After you entered the palace, he stayed here for four or five hours every day. ”

"Well, normal. Shen Lanying still didn't have any emotional fluctuations on her face, and walked around the room casually, but suddenly saw a painting on the table.

Next to it, there is an inkstone with a cartridge that is too late to collect, and the painting is only half painted, with a man and a woman in the middle, and the backgrounds on both sides have not had time to be painted, but it does not affect the charming artistic conception in the volume.

Qingzhi seemed to have just noticed the unfinished paintings on the table, and ran to look at it curiously.

"Who drew this?" Qing Zhi came up and threw out such a question.

Shen Lanying slowly stroked the drawing paper, and rubbed a pen and ink point with her fingertips, "The style of walking the pen is like Sikong Yan." ”

"Oh. Qingzhi nodded, "You're quite familiar with him." ”

"It's not that I'm familiar with him, it's just that I'm familiar with ink painting. Shen Lanying withdrew her hand and said in a light tone.

"Oh, yes, you're connoisseurs. Then the ...... of this painting" Qingzhi frowned slightly, and said hesitantly, "The man is Sikong Yan, yes, this woman, is it you or her?"

Shen Lanying sighed slightly, "We've known each other for a few months, and you still can't tell the difference between me and Princess Zhaoying?"

"Hmm...... After I finish speaking, don't take it to heart, I think, the woman in this painting is more like Jiang Yuwan. ”

Shen Lanying smiled noncommittally, "Is there anything else to see? If not, I'll go back, and I have to go to Shoukang Palace to see the Queen Mother." ”

"It's gone, that's all. Qing Zhi smiled and waved her hand, and suddenly proposed, "Sikong Yan's painting, do you want to take it back to collect?"

"No, if he has a woman in his painting, it is no longer valuable. With that, Shen Lanying walked out of the room and returned the same way.

Qingzhi said that she wanted to send Shen Lanying back, and Shen Lanying did not refuse, so she got into Qingzhi's carriage.

On the way, Shen Lanying closed her eyes in the carriage to recuperate. Qing Zhi originally looked for a book to read, but Xuan Ling kept staring at her with straight eyes, Qing Zhi couldn't read it after reading two chapters, and put down the book helplessly.

"Xuan Ling, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Xuan Ling bowed slightly, "I don't understand, why did you make a special trip to ask Sakura out to see this." ”

Qing Zhi said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, when you say this, it seems that I have a lot of intentions, I just let her see the situation in the outside world." She's ...... after all."

"Qingzhi, are you in love with Sikong Yan?" Xuan Ling said that Qingzhi's thoughts, but frowned again, "You like Sikong Yan, it must not be a day or two." ”
