Xie Xiao seems to be a beautiful gentleman, but he is very neat in his work, and he will send a message to Lu Sheng in the afternoon, and he will take him into the palace in three days.

After Lu Sheng finished dealing with the backlog of official business, he saw Linghu Feiyu and Yan Xiu again, and the cat and duck reported to him one after another: "There is no change in the prince's mansion, and the people in the outer courtyard don't know the inside story. It's just that the big and small demons in the city fled one after another, and they didn't dare to stay in Jianye, because there was an extremely strong spiritual power emerging from Taicheng, and they were all scared away. In another matter, there are only a few fire-burning servants left in the dustless view to watch the house, and the rest of the Taoists do not know where to go. ”

The tiger-striped kitten licked his front paws, and said solemnly: "Lu Gongcao, something big is going to happen in the capital, I advise Gongcao to leave Beijing quickly, and it is safe to stay in Dawangzhuang, if you don't want to...... Follow me to my brother, away from the temple and the world, but also chic and comfortable. ”

Lu Sheng didn't answer, only groaned for a while, then sat down and wrote a letter, ordering the two little demons to send it to his brother Lu Yuan, saying: "Be sure to send your brother and sister-in-law to Dawangzhuang, and the Nanlai family will naturally go with you." My sister-in-law is about to give birth, please tell the owner of She Zhuang and take care of it. ”

Yan Xiu and Linghu Feiyu glanced at each other, and Linghu Feiyu said: "Just leave this matter to Yan Xiu, and Lu Gongzi always has to leave a helper by his side." ”

Hua Mao sneered: "If you talk about helpers, it is better for me to stay, it is much more useful than you." ”

The mallard duck sat on the windowsill, glanced at the cat slowly, and said indifferently: "I can fly." ”

The flower cat was suddenly speechless.

Lu Sheng thought about it and made sense, so he touched the cat's head and said: "Brother Yan Xiu has seen it, you will send the letter, and let him feel more at ease, and my Lu family's bloodline will be entrusted to you." ”

The flower cat looked awe-inspiring, picked up the letter and said vaguely: "I will live up to my trust!" Then he turned and ran out of the ledge.

Linghu Feiyu combed his feathers on the one hand, and said on the other hand: "Taicheng is heavily guarded, the magic circle is heavy, Lu Gongzi wants to enter the palace, but I can't follow my side." I had to wait at the head of the city, and if there was something wrong with my son, I had to try to warn him. With a hard mouth, he pulled out an emerald green feather carved from jasper and put it in Lu Sheng's hand, "Burn it, and I will be able to break into the Taicheng formation and help Gongzi for about a quarter of an hour." ”

Lu Sheng thanked him, put away the feather, and asked, "What will happen if the hour passes?" ”

Linghu Feiyu still said slowly: "If you still stay in the formation after an hour, you will naturally be shattered and your soul will be scattered." ”

Lu Sheng's heart sank, and he decided that unless he had to do it, he would never use this last resort.

For three days in a row, he rested in the office, and when he reached the appointed time, he put on his official uniform, put the hanging pot in the cabinet, and entered the palace with Xie Xiao.

The chief deacon of the Qingming Department is the military attache of the four grades, and the court clothes are much more simple than Xie Xiao's usual dress, although he does not put the majesty of the heavenly family and the palace etiquette in his eyes, but he does not want to listen to the noisy attacks of the officials, so he only put on a fluffy snow-white mink coat outside the court clothes, the edge of the cloak and the collar are rolled with bright red fox hair, lined with Xie Xiao's handsome appearance that can compete with heaven and man, when walking in the palace, even the young female officials who come and go to the palace can't help but be confused by the stunning color, and for a while their knees are weak, and the deer in their hearts are colliding, Xia Fei cheeks.

Xie Xiaoxu has long been accustomed to it, just walk forward if he ignores it, if he sees a woman who looks like him, he looks up and down unscrupulously, and a pair of peach blossom eyes almost overflow.

Lu Sheng only felt that this person was frivolous and debauched, even Sima Yu could not compare, in the past, he had never heard rumors related to him in Beijing, and he thought that it was also because the Xie family was watching it closely, and he was annoyed for a while, but he had no other way, so he blindly swallowed his anger and followed behind him. From time to time, he had to deal with Xie Xiao's frivolous inquiries and deliberate temptations, but Lu Sheng only showed a stunned appearance, asking one word to answer, and ten questions to answer the cross, Xie Xiao asked boring questions before letting him go.

The two of them crossed several palaces, corridors and bridges, and a column of palace people came in front of them, and the female official was Fan Gongling next to Concubine Wen, and the two sides greeted each other according to their grades, and Xie Xiao smiled and said: "When I go back to Beijing, I don't want to say hello to my cousin, it's a sin and a crime." ”

Fan Gongling hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "Hou Ye is serious, the concubine Niangniang received the letter that Hou Ye brought back to Beijing, and she was very happy in her heart, knowing that Hou Ye was entangled in mundane affairs, and specially told Hou Ye not to hurry to say hello." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Fan Gongling looked at Lu Sheng carefully, and said with a smile: "It's good that Gong Cao has nothing to do." ”

Lu Sheng responded: "Don't dare to be, Concubine Hongfu, the lower officials are unharmed." I asked to see the concubine another day, and thanked the concubine for her great kindness. ”

He was just polite, but Fan Gongling said: "It's unfortunate that the concubine is infected with the wind and cold, and she hasn't seen any guests for a few days." ”

He refused to turn around and made it clear that he did not take a position against him. Naturally, Lu Sheng was very embarrassed, he rarely had such experience, so he had to deal with a few words, and he was already a little annoyed for a while. Fortunately, the two teams of people occupied a corridor, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so they hurriedly talked a few words and left.

Before leaving, Xie Xiao only looked at Fan Gongling deeply, and the female official looked at her nose and nose, and she couldn't see any clues on her face.

Fan Gongling returned to the courtyard and reported everything he had encountered on the road to Concubine Wen, the noble lady reclined on the soft couch with rabbit fur cushions, and a palace maid squatted on the edge of the couch and was gently beating her legs with a pair of jade hammers. Concubine Wen only closed her eyes and listened, not seeing any change in her expression, nor knowing whether she was awake or asleep. After Fan Gongling finished reporting, he paused and hesitated: "Niangniang......"

A smile slowly spread on Concubine Wen's well-maintained face, but she still closed her eyes, lazily supported her chin with one hand, and chuckled: "I know what you have to say, so you don't need to say more." ”

Fan Gongling lowered his head deeply and responded, "Yes......"

Only then did Concubine Wen open her eyes, her eyes were clear and shining, and she couldn't say enough about her joy: "Baoyang is a good boy, however, if that one tells me not to interfere, I naturally can't interfere and miss a big thing." ”

Fan Gong ordered: "Xiaguan understands. This time, there was no hesitation in his tone.

I only heard Concubine Wen murmur again: "It's been twenty-three years, why hasn't she seen her grow old?" ”

Lu Sheng had already seen Xie Ying.

When Lu Sheng was still outside the courtyard, Ruodie's eyes were sharp, and when he saw him, he lifted his skirt and ran to the courtyard, shouting: "Baoyang Gongzi is here!" ”

The festive atmosphere spread like a stone falling into the lake, and suddenly the silent courtyard was noisy and lively, or went out to greet him, or opened the curtain for him all the way, Ruosong Ruozhu, Ruo Butterfly Ruoxia Everyone was there, smiled and saluted Lu Sheng, and said: "Baoyang Gongzi, you are here." My son-in-law misses you to death. ”

Xie Xiao accompanied him, and said with a smile: "I don't see you for a day, like every three autumns, the ancients are honest and don't deceive me." ”

Lu Sheng's ears were slightly hot, and he knew that he was afraid that Xie Xiao would see the clue, but he didn't have time to take care of it, but smiled calmly: "Let the adults laugh." ”

He followed behind Ruodie, as if he was really guided by a fluttering butterfly, his steps unconsciously accelerated, through the hanging flower door, the arcade door, and saw the pavilion behind the rockery, from the shallow green curtain surrounding the octagonal pavilion revealed a lonely and silent figure.

The sound of the piano is like crying, but it can't be heard; The wind swept the dead leaves and flew out of sight, Lu Sheng vaguely heard Xie Xiao calling him behind him, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, he changed his speed to a trot, entered the pavilion, lifted the curtain, and felt that a heart in his chest almost jumped out. Only when I saw that person did I have a down-to-earth and peaceful heart; This gray and dull world has just given birth to a vivid and lively voice.

Lu Sheng thought that he had a thousand words, but he really met him, but his thoughts were empty, and he didn't know what to do, so he choked for a moment, and finally only held back two words: "Ah Ying." ”

The man's long hair was tied with a black crown, and he was dressed in a dark black deep coat, covered with dark gold and half sleeves, and the clothes were mixed and woven with a mixture of dark gold and silver threads that had been tempered and tempered thousands of times.

When Lu Sheng lifted the curtain, he stopped stroking the qin, and still knelt in front of the guqin, and the incense burner on the side was burning with a cold and bitter séance. Fen clearly showed a smile, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were as black as late at night, but they were as cold as eternal ice, and said softly: "Baoyang, you are here." ”

Lu Sheng took two steps back, only to feel a slight chill on his back, and the strange coldness was like a spider crawling slowly on his back, spreading to his limbs unconsciously. He stared at the unknown figure in front of him wearing Xie Ying's shell, and as soon as his mind moved, he grabbed the scabbard of the hanging pot in his palm, he held the hilt of the sword, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

Xie Ying got up, and as soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes, it was like the supreme of heaven and earth descending, more majestic than in the past, and even his figure seemed to be more and more majestic. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was confused for a moment, and then revealed Lu Sheng's familiar look, and chuckled: "Baoyang, who am I?" ”

Lu Sheng only felt indescribably weird, and he was already held by Xie Ying's wrist and pulled into his arms and hugged tightly.

The familiar heartbeat that made people nostalgic came slowly through the close place, Xie Ying gently stroked his back, and said in a low voice with a sigh: "Hug Yang, remember that even me is at this moment, anyone." ”

Lu Sheng heard it as if he was falling into a fog, and said blankly: "Ah Ying, what did you say?" ”

But the man didn't want to, he even stopped stroking his back, and after a while, he smiled: "What did I say?" ”

Lu Shengzheng didn't know what to do, a woman's voice came from outside the pavilion, and asked softly, "Ah Ying, who is here?" ”

Xie Ying hugged Lu Sheng again, only then did he let go, and replied with a smile: "Mother, it's Lu Baoyang, who has been mentioned to you many times, is here." ”

His smile became softer, he took Lu Sheng's hand, lifted the hanging curtains, walked out of the pavilion, and said to Lu Sheng: "Hug Yang, come and see my mother." ”

In the corridor more than ten steps outside the pavilion, Xie Xiao is standing side by side with a woman, the woman is only in her early twenties, her complexion is beautiful, unparalleled in the world, and she is not inferior to Xie Ying, and there are more charming and soft women with her eyes, clear eyes, brilliance, shining, and a long-standing bearing, even if Yu Ji comes, she will be dwarfed.

She looked at Lu Sheng with a clear smile, but Lu Sheng noticed that there seemed to be a thousand catties of weight pressing down, so she couldn't help straightening her waist, refusing to show weakness, and approached with Xie Ying.

Xie Ying didn't let go of Lu Sheng until he got closer, and he didn't greet the two of them, but said, "Hug Yang, this is my mother." ”

This woman looks younger than Xie Ying, how can she become a mother? Lu Sheng couldn't turn the corner for a while, so he had to hesitate and salute: "I've seen ...... White Lady? ”

He naturally remembered the old past that Xie Ying mentioned to him, Xie Ying's mother's surname is Bai Xizhen, she was originally the only daughter of a rural teacher two hundred miles away from Jianye, and she gave birth to Xie Ying when she was about twenty years old. No matter how well it is maintained, there will be a difference in the twenty-five years after all, and it will not be the same as it is in front of you.

The woman accepted his salute calmly, and said with a smile: "Lu Gongcao is exempt, the dog has caused trouble to Lu Gongcao on weekdays." ”

Before Lu Sheng could speak, Xie Ying had already said, "Don't bother." ”

Lu Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, how not to trouble, it's a big trouble.

Madame Bai said angrily: "You kid is so rude, how can you say that you are not troublesome." Lu Gongcao doesn't say it, how do you know that it's not troublesome? ”

Xie Ying said with a smile: "I naturally know." Mother, I have something to say with Baoyang, and I will take him to chat with my mother after the discussion. ”

Madame Bai sighed: "How dare our old man ask you to accompany him, you can go and talk to Lu Gongcao about things." ”

Xie Xiao also said with a smile: "The elders talk to the elders, and the two juniors don't bother." ”

Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly said goodbye to the two, and followed Xie Ying out of the courtyard and into the first study at the end of the corridor. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately said, "Ah Ying, I have something to ask you." ”

Xie Ying walked to the front of the bookcase before stopping, and said softly: "Baoyang, I know that you are full of questions at this time, but there are priorities, let them all go, and listen to me first." ”

He put his hand on the thick stack of letters, lowered his eyes and lowered his head, so that Lu Sheng could not see the look in his eyes, and then said, "These Thai half are the handwriting of General Weisu. ”
