The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the Lin Mansion, and Lin Lanhai secretly made a good deal, especially the food money borrowed from Cao Lizhi and others, so that the Wu family privately returned it several times in the form of gifts, not begging them to speak for him, but begging them not to add fuel to the fire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Wu Jingren also told him to get ready, and each of them was a man with his tail between his legs. Thinking that everything was still under his control, Lin Lanhai felt a lot more relieved in his heart, and he cooperated with the investigation with a high-sounding face on the surface, but in fact, he was recuperating in the mansion. With his control and analysis of the situation of the regime, I believe that it will not be long before the Imperial Historical Observatory cannot find evidence, and the emperor will definitely reinstate him as an official.

After a period of recuperation, Wu's body has generally returned to normal. Handle housework every day, except for the steward who must go out to procure, order the rest of the servants not to go out of the house at will to run errands or visit relatives, if there is a violator, they will be killed with a cane. Her rigorous and calm methods took care of the house in an orderly manner, and Lin Lanhai saw that he was also free of the anger and blame he had before. Thinking that the matter had passed and had not developed to the point where it could not be out of control, he actually still had some regrets in his heart afterwards, although he still rested in the rooms of several concubines at night, he would take time to see her during the day. It's just that the two tacitly didn't mention the matter of Jin Xiangrui Inn, and they were calculated to this point, presumably such a shame is also a slap in the face of each other.

The Lin Mansion is lifeless and gloomy, but the palace is inspiring and elated. After winning the first battle, Lin Xiaoyou was smiling all day long, needless to say, she knew how happy she was.

"Princess, what good thing makes you so happy? It's so nice to see you smiling like this every day these days. Duoduo came in with a snack and put it on the table, and asked curiously.

"yes, I found it too." Xiangqing agreed.

Lin Xiaoyou shook his head and said with a profound smile: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

"Of course you girls don't understand, the princess had a sweet dream last night, so she is naturally happy." The lazy voice took over the words in time, and saw Xiahou Yichen striding in. He was dressed in flamboyant red, bright and dazzling, which set off his beautiful face and made him even more wanton and evil, with phoenix eyes shining brightly, and people did not dare to look directly at the places where his eyes passed.

"The slave and maid are gone." The two of them stepped back in a witty way, leaving room for them to be two.

Lin Xiaoyou's face turned red, this guy was amusing himself again, and couldn't help but scold coquettishly: "You are just daydreaming." ”

Xiahou Yichen was not annoyed, seeing the shy appearance of Lin Xiaoyu's youngest daughter, the corners of her mouth raised a slight arc, charming and peerless, "Life is like a dream, this king is also daydreaming." And the most important thing is that the king is not alone in the dream, and the princess is accompanied day and night, hand in hand for a lifetime, is it really a beautiful dream? I don't know if the princess can tell me, can this king make his dream come true? ”

These amorous and ambiguous words suddenly made Lin Xiaoyu stagnate, and she raised her eyebrows in surprise to meet the burning and affectionate gaze, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. I felt that her cheeks were faintly hot, she turned her head in disguise, and said angrily: "Pretending, you are really energetic, aren't you?" ”

Seeing that she didn't care much about her words, a trace of indescribable complexity flashed in Xiahou Yichen's dark eyes. Then he smiled and said lazily: "Don't dare, how dare this king pretend in front of the princess." ”

Lin Xiaoyou snorted and said with some hesitation: "That, thank you, Xiahou Yichen." ”

Thank? The little hedgehog stings him as long as he doesn't move, so how dare he ask her to thank him. Xiahou Yichen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if he received this thanks, and the relationship between them was leveled, and then the well water did not interfere with the river water. Xiahou Yichen has always been calm, but this thought was disturbed by his own thoughts, and subconsciously retorted: "Hey, wait a minute, this king didn't want you to thank you for helping you." I have always been gracious in my work, and the favors you owe me will be repaid by you if you have the opportunity to pay it back another day, so you don't have to thank you too early. ”

If you don't thank you, you won't thank you, and the favor you owe should indeed be repaid, just a good sentence, why does he look so weird. Lin Xiaoyou was puzzled but didn't say anything, nodded solemnly, "Okay, Xiaoyou owes the prince a favor, and he will definitely pay it back if he has the opportunity in the future." ”

originally said it casually, but I didn't expect her to take it seriously. Seeing her so serious, Xiahou Yichen was suddenly unhappy in his heart. I was in a hurry just now, but in fact, he didn't even know what he said. But he said it himself, and it was too late to change his mind and regret it, and his annoyed look was eager to slap himself twice, because he looked confident in the past, and he didn't pay attention to everything, but now he can't even say a word.

At this moment, a fragrant voice suddenly came from outside, "Lord, princess, there is a man in white outside who asks to see you." ”

The boy in white? Could it be a senior brother? Lin Xiaoyou stood up excitedly, "Got it, you go down." I didn't say whether I saw it or not, Lin Xiaoyou agreed, and couldn't help but turn around and look at Xiahou Yichen.

It's always like this, as soon as I met Lin Xiaoyu, I started to be positive. Xiahou Yichen coughed, and asked with a deliberate smile: "Princess, he didn't see you last time in Biluoju, this time this king can just help you take revenge and let him taste the taste of being left out, how about it?" Thinking of Lin Xiaoyu, Xiahou Yichen felt uncomfortable, and when he thought of Lin Xiaoyu's different attitude towards him and Lin Xiaoyu, his heart was even more uncomfortable.

"You dare, if it weren't for Senior Brother doing me a big favor, the Lin Mansion would have suffered such a big dumb loss. Don't say that he is my senior brother, he is an outsider, and we can't snub others in our senses. Lin Xiaoyou raised his voice and said, for fear that Xiahou Yichen would really be unfavorable to him.

"Lin Xiaoyou, pay attention to your attitude, if this king is unhappy, no one will want to see him." What to help her is obviously calculated, and only she, a fool, doesn't know. Xiahou Yichen squinted his eyes, sat in his position calmly, and did not speak. Since she cares about Lin Xiaoyu so much, let her care about it, as long as she doesn't say anything to see him, she can only be anxious on the side.

"You ......" knew his moody, arrogant and wanton personality, and Lin Xiaoyou was no different. Thinking that her senior brother was outside, she was so anxious that she had to say patiently: "The prince forgives the sin, this princess does not choose what to say, and the prince has a large number of them, so don't care." ”

Xiahou Yichen had an urge to kill, the little hedgehog had always been used to showing his teeth and claws in front of him, but this time for Lin Xiaoyu, he was willing to swallow his anger. "It's not that the princess doesn't know, this king has always been a stingy person." The implication is that I am a stingy person, so I naturally have to care.

This nasty ghost is really hard to serve. Staring at his beautiful face like a demon, Lin Xiaoyou's heart became more and more irritable. It's okay if he doesn't go to the palace, but he coincidentally didn't go to the court today, and now if he doesn't speak, he won't be able to see his senior brother. Lin Xiaoyou's mind was full of thoughts, and he suddenly came to his heart, and snorted coldly, "I know Xiahou Yichen, you just care that your senior brother looks better than you, so you don't dare to go out to see him, right?" You're jealous, and you're having a serious lack of self-confidence. The medical book says that this is a disease and must be cured. If you don't see it, you won't see it, so as not to go out and hurt your fragile heart. In the end, Lin Xiaoyou deliberately bit the sound of the word "fragile".

"Lin Xiaoyu?" Xiahou Yichen's voice of gritting teeth sounded, and I have to say that Lin Xiaoyou successfully destroyed the good mood that originally teased her. Lin Xiaoyu is better looking than him? Does he care? Is he jealous? Is he not confident? Is he vulnerable? Okay, you Lin Xiaoyu, for the sake of a Lin Xiaoyu, you even used the method of agitation, and even played tricks with him. Hmph, good, good, good.

Xiahou Yichen's figure flashed, and he ran to the courtyard in the blink of an eye, picked a bouquet of flower branches and held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Lin Xiaoyou, give you a chance." Grab it, count you as a winner? ”

Lin Xiaoyou walked out of the house quickly, looking at his meaningful smile, and couldn't help but feel a trace of vigilance in his heart. Nasty ghost, he has always been scheming, he shouldn't have thought of any crooked ideas to deliberately calculate her.

"If you don't dare to, forget it." Seeing that she was guarding against him with a sense of vigilance, Xiahou Yichen snorted coldly, and was about to throw it away when he shook his hand.

"Wait a minute, that's what you said, don't regret it then." Lin Xiaoyou blinked, and hurriedly stopped him, don't just grab a flower, what don't you dare, don't regret it when the time comes.

"Whoever repents is a puppy." Xiahou Yichen smiled and nodded, with his height advantage, he didn't think she had any chance of winning.

Lin Xiaoyou looked at the flower branch in his hand, ran up and grabbed it. Xiahou Yichen's hand holding the flower branch was held high in the air. He was very tall, and Lin Xiaoyu was on tiptoe, jumping up and down, panting for a while, but he didn't even touch a leaf. Senior brother should have waited for a long time, damn Xiahou Yichen, he likes to make fun of her. Lin Xiaoyou was a little anxious, but seeing Xiahou Yichen's indifferent appearance that seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, his heart was angry for a while. You're amazing, right, she didn't believe it yet, she looked up at him and smiled softly, bright and moving.

The smile in Xiahou Yichen's eyes became deeper and deeper, could the little hedgehog still have a trick?

Lin Xiaoyou rushed forward and was about to pull the belt around his waist, but Xiahou Yichen was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his empty hand to stop it. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoyu's hand just reached into the air, quickly changed direction, and sneaked towards the armpit of the hand holding the flower, not hitting or robbing, but tickling him.

The tricky girl, I didn't expect to come to this trick with a loud voice. Xiahou Yichen couldn't hold it for a while, and immediately laughed. The feeling of electric shock, itchy and crispy, like a kitten, scratched his heart. I didn't think much about it, so I took her in my arms and hugged her.

Lin Xiaoyou took the opportunity to snatch the flower branch in his hand, shook it in front of his eyes excitedly, and said with a smile: "I grabbed it, I grabbed it, Xiahou Yichen, you have nothing to say now, right?" She was just trying to grab the flowers to see her senior brother, and she didn't notice how ambiguous the two of them were now.

She looked happy, and the pleasant laughter like silver bells naturally revealed a kind of little girl's coquettishness and innocence, which made Xiahou Yichen laugh dumbly, that smile had a bit of a spoiling taste, and then reached out and scratched the tip of her delicate nose very naturally, and said with a smile: "I am willing to lose the bet." Although the previous gloom mood has dissipated by more than half, his character of retribution, the account that should be calculated still has to be calculated.

"Oh, what are you doing with me, can we go?" By the time Lin Xiaoyou reacted inappropriately and began to struggle, it was too late.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, Xiahou Yichen raised his eyes slightly, swept the white figure who was following Dongfan at the door with cold eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a gentle smile. Not only did he not let go, but he made a hard effort, imprisoned Lin Xiaoyou more tightly in his arms, approached her and said softly: "Be obedient, wait a minute, don't move!" If your face is dirty, this king will wipe it for you. How can I say that the princess of this king can't go to meet guests with a cat's face. ”

"Ah, is there one?" Lin Xiaoyou was taken aback, and obediently obeyed without the slightest suspicion.

Xiahou Yichen nodded, stretched out his white hand and gently stroked Lin Xiaoyu's delicate and clean face, very serious and gentle. Then he deliberately gave her a haircut, and while she was not paying attention, he quietly put the flowers hidden in her sleeves on her bun.

Sensing something strange on his head, Lin Xiaoyou raised his head and said, "Is it okay?" ”

"Wait a minute, I'm looking." Xiahou Yichen smiled, held her cheek, and deliberately turned his head sideways.

Outside the courtyard, Dongfan guarded the door. Lin Xiaoyu came in alone, and didn't take a few steps, he paused with a free and fast pace, and stood in place tensely. With the position and angle at which he was standing, he saw Xiahou Yichen kissing her, while his junior sister stood honestly in place with a happy smile on her face. looked at the two of them with cold eyes, and at this moment, there was an inexplicable pain in my heart.

Lin Xiaoyou opened his hand, "Okay, I won't make trouble for you, can you go or not?" ”

Lin Xiaoyu's reaction was fully visible to him, and Xiahou Yichen succeeded in his treacherous plan, and finally felt better. smiled wantonly: "Mu Gongzi, please come and sit down." ”

Senior brother is here? Lin Xiaoyou was startled, turned around, and saw Lin Xiaoyu standing not far away, looking at her with a faint gaze. Glared at Xiahou Yichen in amazement, when did he send someone to invite his senior brother in, and he didn't say anything in advance, he deliberately teased her here. Nasty ghost, I want to see her in a hurry

"Senior brother, you're here." The next moment, Lin Xiaoyou's stunned face was like a flower. I pulled the hem of my skirt and wanted to run over.

Xiahou Yichen grabbed her and reached out to put his hand around her shoulder, forcing her to stand still and wait. Just when he went out of the house to pick flowers, he secretly asked the secret guard to arrange it, and the reason why he didn't say it was deliberate.

Lin Xiaoyu put away the emotions in her heart, stepped forward with an expressionless face, her white clothes fluttering, and she clasped her fists indifferently and saluted: "I've seen the prince, the princess." ”

"No need to be polite." Xiahou Yichen bowed his head slightly, and the smile on his face became more and more evil and bright, with a little playfulness.

The smile on Lin Xiaoyou's face was a little stiff, and he said unnaturally, "Senior brother, sit down." ”

Lin Xiaoyu nodded and sat down, her cold gaze swept over her face, and she didn't stop for a moment, and said directly to Xiahou Yichen: "I came here this time to borrow someone from the princess and princess." ”

The celebrity around the dignified master ran to the palace to borrow people, which was interesting. Xiahou Yichen smiled silently.

"I don't know who my brother wants to borrow?" Senior brother rarely opened her mouth, Xiahou Yichen actually ignored it, hmph, Lin Xiaoyou has never felt that Xiahou Yichen is a bastard like now, she wrote down this account.

Lin Xiaoyu lowered her head and didn't look at her, and replied loudly: "It's the maid who came out of the Lin Mansion with the princess." ”

"Sister Lan." Lin Xiaoyou exclaimed in surprise, and even Xiahou Yichen couldn't help but look at him a few times, his puzzled eyes were very puzzled. If she borrowed a few guards from the palace, she might be able to figure it out, but Sister Lan has always been by her side, and she has no conflict of interest with them, both internally and externally, so why would it be her?

Knowing what she was worried about, Lin Xiaoyu said lightly: "Don't worry, princess, it only takes three days, and her subordinates will definitely send her to the palace safely, and ensure that there is not a lot of hair." "He couldn't tell them what to do, but he wouldn't hurt her.

His temperament Lin Xiaoyu is naturally clear, and of course she believes it. The problem is, I don't know if Sister Lan is willing or not, although it was the senior brother who asked her to borrow someone, but she would not force Sister Lan.

"It's all right, miss." Lan Yu happened to come in, heard their words, and saw the embarrassment on the young lady's face. Knowing that she didn't want to embarrass herself, she was inexplicably moved in her heart. stepped forward and stood still in front of Lin Xiaoyu, "I don't know what the son wants the slave to do?" ”

"A little thing, you'll know when the time comes." Lin Xiaoyu didn't want to say more.

"Are you really willing, Sister Lan?" Lin Xiaoyou asked uneasily, as long as Sister Lan was a little unwilling, even if she was a senior brother, she would refuse for her.

Lan Yu smiled, "Miss, don't worry, since this son can come to the palace to borrow someone, he must not embarrass the slave." ”

Such a smooth process was really beyond Lin Xiaoyu's expectations. Now that the person has already borrowed it, it is inconvenient for him to stay longer, let alone want to stay longer. got up to say goodbye and left with Lan Yu.

Seeing him leave, Xiahou Yichen pondered deeply in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Three days later, Lan Yu was really sent back by Lin Xiaoyu, but there was a masked woman who came back with her.

Back at Shihuan Courtyard, Lan Yu asked her to wait on the side, and went to greet Lin Xiaoyu first. Since entering the palace, she and the young lady have not been separated. Although it was only three short days, she was worried about it all the time.

Sister Lan is not here these days, and she is really a little unaccustomed. There were already fewer people in the changing courtyard, and as soon as she left, it seemed to be even more deserted. Xiahou Yichen was worried that Xiangqing and Duoduo would not be able to serve, and said that he was arranging a few maids for her, but in the end she refused. Now, it's good that Sister Lan is back, and the heart that has been worrying all day has finally fallen.

After chatting with Lan Yu for a few words, Lin Xiaoyou looked at the person who came seriously, "Who is this?" "I don't know what Senior Brother means, I borrowed Sister Lan to give it to him, and I came back with one more person.

"Ah, she's white, miss. Mu Gongzi said, bring her to Miss, and you will know what to do. Lan Yu replied.

Wood Childe? Even Sister Lan called him Mu Gongzi, presumably a pseudonym for his senior brother outside. Lin Xiaoyou thought about it and didn't pay much attention to it. It's just that he was a little stunned by his intentions, a strange woman who he didn't know, if he didn't give her as a maid, what other intentions could he have? After thinking about it, he suddenly had a big head, and the senior brother couldn't explain anything to her directly, so he had to play her dumb riddles.

"Slave Bairong, I have seen the princess." After Lan Yu's introduction, the woman lifted her veil and stepped forward to salute. She was dressed in plain clothes and makeup, and her gestures were very polite and decent, but her eyes rolled wildly showed that this was not a peaceful person.

Lin Xiaoyou took a sip of tea and looked up, before the word "...... free" was spoken, his smiling expression suddenly froze, and his face was pale. His eyes glared at the woman. I can't tell if I was excited or nervous, the teacup in my hand fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered.
