Luo Yi opened the letter and glanced at it, Nantang looked at her expression, and asked in a low voice, "Master, what did the letter say?"

Luo Yi was expressionless, and stared at the words on the letter for a moment before putting it down and said: "Luo Wen's matter, Prince Jinyang has to deal with it personally, he has already left now, I'm afraid it will arrive in a few days." ”

"The prince came to Qiancheng in person?!" Nantang was also surprised, the prince of Jinyang has been staying in the capital since the war was quelled, and it is the first time that he has come in person like this, it seems that the prince takes this matter very seriously. Luo Yi folded the letter again, put it back in the envelope, and said lightly: "From what I know about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is by no means such an impulsive person, since he has decided to come, then this matter must be not trivial." Nantang, you go and tell your subordinates to pack up and welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Nantang hurriedly responded, and Luo Yi then got up again and said, "It's almost over, I'll go out." ”

Nantang was stunned: "Master, where are you going?"

"Academy. Luo Yi hooked the corners of his lips, swept away Fang Cai's serious and cold appearance, and smiled at Nantang.

Nantang stared straight at Luo Yi, Luo Yi didn't care about him, and went straight out, for her, the arrival of the prince is not something worth looking forward to, the prince she has seen a few times, the prince who swept the enemy army on the battlefield and intimidated hundreds of officials in the court is not a good match.

Now she only hopes that the prince will not come exactly three days later, and miss the opportunity for her and Ye Xiangshen to see the lanterns.

However, before Luo Yi had time to worry about this, a subordinate outside trotted to the front and said to her, "Master, the city lord of Lucheng is here." ”

Luo Yi paused, she didn't expect the person to come so quickly, she said, "Please." ”

The subordinates quickly brought people in, and Luo Yi called the others away, and returned to the study to talk to Xie Rong, the city lord of Lucheng. Xie Rong has always been exquisite, but now he is full of servants and dust, it seems that he is quite a wolf bèi, his eyes are slightly blue and black, it seems that he has indeed come here overnight, as soon as he enters the door, he said to Luo Yi: "Ah Zhao is here with you?"

Luo Yi understood that the "Ah Zhao" in his mouth was Ning Zhao, and she said: "You are really very familiar with the people in the Yan Hui Building. ”

In private, everyone has a legend that the owner of the building where the wild goose returns to the building is the person that Xie Rong, the city lord of Lucheng, likes, because the relationship between the two is very close, and no one dares to provoke the wild goose to return to the building, because if he provokes the wild goose to return to the building, he will provoke the city lord of Lucheng. It's just that everyone can't understand that Xie Rong is just a young man in his twenties, why would he like a woman who is so much older than himself, although Yan Long, the owner of the Yan Hui Building, still has charm, but he should be more than ten years older than Xie Rong.

Xie Rong guessed what Luo Yi was thinking, and immediately frowned and said, "Don't speculate. He sighed, but seeing Luo Yi's eyes with a playful smile, he shook his head and said helplessly: "But this time the goose returned to the building, thank you for helping to save Yan Long and them." ”

"I didn't help much this time, if you want to thank him, go to Prince Xie Jinyang, if he hadn't let the second prince release him, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple. When Luo Yi said this, she remembered what happened that day, and she asked, "You asked the prince to help?"

Xie Rong shook his head, still puzzled when he mentioned this matter: "Didn't you find it?"

Luo Yi glared at Xie Rong, Xie Rong looked at Luo Yi, the two of them were silent for a moment, and Luo Yi finally said: "It seems that things are not simple." ”

Xie Rong sighed: "I have a bit of a holiday with the second prince, and he imprisoned the people who returned to the building, just to lure me into the bait, but fortunately, with the help of the prince, nothing big happened." ”

In the final analysis, Luo Yi was still very curious about his relationship with Yan Hui Lou Yan Long, but since he refused to say, she didn't bother to ask again, she only took out the silver hairpin given by Luo Wen and handed it to him: "This is what the people from Chengguo Jingcheng want me to give you." ”

"What?" Xie Rong was stunned for a moment, looked at the hairpin, and said, "For me?

Luo Yi said: "Otherwise, you think I came to you to catch up?"

Xie Rong didn't answer Luo Yi's words, because he stared at the hairpin for a long time, and suddenly he was shocked, and his eyes widened in disbelief. He suddenly grabbed the hairpin tightly and said in a deep voice: "Who gave this hairpin to you? What else did that person say?"

Luo Yi said truthfully: "I just said, it was given to you by the people of Chengguo Jingcheng, it should be something that their city master handed over to you, if you don't understand anything, ask yourself, that person is now in the Jun'an Inn in Qiancheng." ”

"I see. Xie Rong looked at the hairpin for a long time, and finally put it back, nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

He was about to leave, Luo Yi frowned and looked at his back, but he still couldn't help but call: "You wait, I'll send you over." "What is the purpose of that person named Luo Wen making so many moths, Luo Yi is also a little curious, she always feels that this matter will not be too simple, and Xie Rong's distracted appearance, she is a little relieved to let him go alone.

Hearing this, Xie Rong hesitated for a moment but nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Luo Yi asked people to prepare the carriage, and the two of them went towards the inn together, Xie Rong was silent along the way, and Luo Yi did not speak, only looked at the scenery outside the carriage with his cheeks. When the carriage had traveled several avenues, passed through the streets and alleys of Qiancheng, and was about to arrive at the inn, Xie Rong finally thought about it and said slowly: "Luoyi." ”

"What?" asked Loy.

Xie Rong closed his eyes slightly, leaned against the wall of the car, and said for a while: "Anyway, I can't hide the matter, I just tell you first, you and I have known each other for many years, and I don't have to blame me for hiding everything from you." ”

He said this plainly, but with a full of helplessness, Luo Yi heard this, and also knew the strictness of the matter: "Wait, can you listen to this?"

Xie Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, stared at her and said, "You have to listen to it if you don't want to listen to it now." ”

Loe: "......"

Xie Rong said: "The old city lord of Lucheng is not my father. ”

The position of the city lord of Lucheng has always been passed on to the eldest son, Xie Rong is not the son of the city lord of Lucheng but he has won the position of the city lord, which is indeed a big deal, but in Luo Yi's opinion, it is not a big deal: "But you have become the city lord, and besides yourself, who else knows that you are not his son? The old city lord of Lucheng has three sons, all of whom died in the war of the previous years, so it is the turn of the youngest Xie Rong to take over the position of the city lord, and now even if Xie Rong wants to give up the position of the city lord, no one can let him.

Xie Rong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I thought the same way, the old city lord treated me very well, and I also planned to take care of Lucheng for him." ”

"Then ...... now" Luo Yi stared at the hairpin in Xie Rong's hand, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Your real father and mother are coming to you?"

Xie Rong said something that Luo didn't expect: "Yan Long, who returned to the building, is my mother." ”

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment, in her opinion, even if Yan Long was not too young, it would not be a ...... The mother of such a big man, Luo Yi stared at Xie Rong up and down for a long time, only to feel that Yan Long girl was really proficient in the way of health preservation.

Xie Rong then explained: "At the beginning, my mother fell in love with an unidentified man, and then ran away from home, and planned to go to the man and leave with him, but the man disappeared overnight. My mother wandered the streets alone with me, and was finally rescued by the old city lord of Lucheng, the old city lord liked her, she gave birth to me in Lucheng, and the old city lord regarded me as his own, and said to the outside world that I was his son, but my mother did not want to stay in the city, and left alone. ”

"Your mother is ruthless. Luo Yi said casually, but he didn't expect Yan Long to bear to leave the newborn child behind.

Xie Rong was unmoved, and only chuckled and said: "She also regrets it, when I was more than ten years old, she came back, drove a goose back to the building in Lucheng, looked for an opportunity to approach me, and told me the truth." I couldn't leave Lucheng behind, so I didn't go with her, she was guarding in Lucheng, and I went to see her when I had nothing to do. That's why everyone said that Xie Rong likes Yan Long.

Luo Yi figured it out, but the matter of the hairpin had to be considered in the long run. Luo Yi said: "What kind of person is your real father?"

Xie Rong shook his head: "I don't know, and my mother doesn't know her identity." He looked down at the hairpin in his hand and said, "But this hairpin is exactly the same as the one in my mother's hand." "So to know the identity of that person, just ask Luo Wen is enough.

Luo Yi looked at him hesitantly, and at this moment the carriage had stopped, and the two did not talk any further, and got out of the carriage together.

Jun'an Inn is the best inn in Qiancheng, and there are many people coming and going, but coincidentally, as soon as Luo Yi and the others walked into the inn, they saw Luo Wen who was sitting at the table drinking. Luo Wen also seemed to feel the gaze of Luo Yi and the others, and at the same time raised his eyes to look at them, and when he saw Xie Rong beside Luo Yi, the man's face immediately changed, and he no longer drank slowly, so he quickly got up and greeted him, and looked at Xie Rong up and down: "Like, really like." ”

Luo Yi guessed that what he said should be Xie Rong's real father, and sure enough, Luo Wen said after a while: "Son, please come with me." ”

Xie Rong silently followed Luo Wen to the room on the second floor, Luo Yi also followed, but Luo Wen shook his head and said, "Luo family master." ”

Luo Yi sneered: "I can't listen to it yet?"

Luo Wen scratched his head and smiled, but he didn't speak, Xie Rong sighed when he saw this: "Luo Yi, it's better to leave this matter to me to decide." ”

Xie Rong had already spoken, and Luo Yi had no choice but to say anything, she simply found a table next to her and sat down, "Okay, you go, I'll wait here." ”

"Thank you. Xie Rong turned around and smiled at Luo Yi, but this glance was deep. Luo Yi met his gaze, and for some reason there was always some discomfort in his heart.

Luo Wen took Xie Rong upstairs, Luo Yi sat downstairs alone, but she was also bored, she casually ordered some refreshments and ate two bites, but suddenly seemed to think of something, called the shopkeeper and said: "Do you have any lighter things here, suitable for sick people to eat, prepare one for me, I'll pack it and take it away." "The things of Jun'an Inn are also famous in Qiancheng, and Luo Yi wants to bring some back to Ye Xiangshen.

Xiao Er prepared the things in a short time, and sent them all to Luo Yi, with a basket full of baskets. Luo Yi instructed his subordinates to put away the things, and then waited for Xie Rong and the others to come down. But I didn't expect that this kind of waiting would be a whole half a day. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Luo Yi ate lunch and finished dinner in the inn, he really couldn't wait, so he sent someone to urge, who knew this urging, then the next person said, Xie Rong said that they still had important things to discuss, let her leave first.

Luo Yi almost lifted the table in front of her when she heard this, and she stared upstairs for a long time before saying, "Let's go back first." ”

It seems that Xie Rong has made up his own mind. Luo Yi was reluctant to intervene, and she was not qualified to intervene, so she took the carriage back to Luo's house. It's just such a toss, and when she returns to Luo's house, the sun has already set. Luo Yi faintly felt a little pity in her heart, she finished handling the affairs of the Luo family early today so that she could see Ye Xiangshen earlier, but she didn't expect that there would be so many things out of thin air, if it was too late today, I am afraid that Ye Xiangshen would have to wait for a long time. She took out the pile of food she had brought back from the Jun'an Inn from the carriage, and then knocked on the door of the academy.

The academy was closed by this time, but as soon as Luo Yi knocked on the door, the door opened. The scholar Xiaojiu looked up at Luo Yi and said with some surprise: "Master Luo, why did you come?"

"Haven't slept yet?" Luo Yi asked casually, and then looked into the academy and said, "Is Ye Xiang asleep?"

Xiaojiu shook his head and said, "Not yet, I practiced calligraphy in it just now." ”

"Is he getting better, did he have a good rest today?" Luo Yi asked, but the person had already walked towards the academy. When she was a child, she often came to this academy to find Ye Xiangshen, and she was very familiar with this academy, and quickly found Ye Xiangshen's house with her memory. Ye Xiang sat in the room, but he didn't practice calligraphy anymore, his window was open, and the light on the table left a glimmer of light in the night, so he sat at the table in his clothes, holding something in his hand and feeding the little squirrels on the table.

I don't know if I heard the voice, Ye Xiang raised his eyes to her suddenly, Luo Yi didn't hide, she walked out of the dark with her hands behind her back, and the bright yellow of the lights plated her, she raised her eyebrows lightly, and finally looked at Ye Xiangshen with satisfaction, and then said to Tuan Tuan on the table: "Come here." ”

Tuan Tuan was so frightened that his tail suddenly stood up, and he immediately threw Ye Xiangshen a few steps and jumped onto Luo Yi's shoulder. Ye Xiangshen was still holding a half-gnawed pear in his hand, and when he saw this, he put the pear down. Luo Yi didn't wait for Ye Xiangshen to speak, so he came in through the window and asked, "Tuan Tuan changed to eat this?"

Ye Xiangshen said: "It's used to eating the fruit in the valley, and it's not used to eating anything, and it's only in the last two days that it hasn't picked it." ”

Luo Yi sat down in front of Ye Xiangshen, and only then did he bring out the basket of food from behind him: "I brought it back for you in the inn, you can taste it." I'm afraid that you'll be sick and have no appetite, so you brought a lot of things, which one do you like to eat?"

She didn't care what Ye Xiangshen wanted to say, she directly brought out all the things in the basket, and all kinds of pastries and snacks filled the table in a moment. Ye Xiangshen hesitated for a moment, but seeing Luo Yi's face full of anticipation, he still picked a piece of pastry and took a bite. Luo Yi asked, "Is it delicious?"

Ye Xiang sank in response, and only whispered: "I remember that you don't like sweet things." ”

"I'll just watch you eat. Luo Yi felt that watching Ye Xiangshen eat was much more interesting than eating by himself.

Ye Xiangshen shook his head and said, "You don't have to be like this. ”

Seeing this, he was about to say a bunch of words to politely refuse her kindness, Luo Yi saw it clearly, so he changed his words and said: "Who said I don't like sweets." As she spoke, she reached out, Ye Xiangshen raised her eyes with her movements, and just met Luo Yi's clear eyes, Luo Yi snatched Ye Xiangshen's unfinished pastry and sent it to his mouth, "This piece is very delicious." ”

Ye Xiangshen's hands were still frozen in place, and a faint flush finally appeared on his pale face. He didn't seem to have seen such a bold woman as Luo Yi, the big fist of the pastry said to swallow it, Luo Yi chewed the pastry in his mouth, and he also regretted it a little in his heart, this thing was too big, and he only felt dry in his mouth after chewing. But before she could say anything more, a teacup was handed to her. Luo Yi held the teacup and smiled at Ye Xiangshen, and hurriedly took a sip, the temperature of the tea was just right, just to quench his thirst. Loe glanced at the teapot not far away and said, "Are you waiting for me?" Although it is early spring, the coolness has not decreased, and the tea in the pot has not been changed several times.

Ye Xiangshen naturally wouldn't admit it, so Luo Yi didn't continue to talk about it, but said, "Are you getting better today? What are you doing so late?"

"Much better, thank you Miss Lo for your concern. Ye Xiang replied in a deep voice, and then said, "Today, Ning Zhao and Luo Ling tore up a few books in the academy, those are grandpa's treasures, and I am gluing the books just now so that I can transcribe them." ”

Luo Yi frowned when he heard this, "These two stinky boys, what else have they done?"

Under Luo Yi's inquiry, Ye Xiangshen had no choice but to tell what the two of them had done in the academy, Luo Yi listened silently, and finally heard Ye Xiangshen ask: "They were supposed to stay and copy books today, but they were called by Nantang, what happened to the Luo family recently?"

Luo Yi immediately guessed the reason and responded: "The prince of Jinyang will come in a few days, and I will ask Nantang to prepare them first." ”

Hearing the words "Prince of Jinyang", Ye Xiangshen's expression did not change, he only stared at the table full of pastries, and his black eyes sank like the abyss under the silent night, "When will he arrive?"

"I don't know, but it should be soon. Luo Yi was reluctant to mention these things at this time, so he urged Ye Xiangshen to eat, and the two talked for a long time, and finally saw that Ye Xiangshen was not in good spirits during his illness, so Luo Yi finally left.

It's just that what Luo Yi didn't expect was that the day after she said this, Prince Jinyang arrived.
