In the palace of King Wucheng, Pei Ze entered the palace to face the saint, and Xiao Yanzhi lay on the couch in the study to read, but this book was also unreadable.

"Why do you live in the Wucheng Palace?" Qi Cheng was lying outside the window of the study, looking at Xiao Yanzhi with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Yanzhi didn't even look at Qi Cheng outside the window, turned the book over a page, and said lukewarmly: "In the palace of Wucheng Wang, low-level nursing homes cannot enter the backyard casually. ”

As soon as he heard Kong Qing's name, Qi Cheng shuddered, and immediately looked left and right for a while, but there was no Kong Qing in his sight, and Qi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Kong Qing is the Sima of Wucheng Palace, and when there is nothing important to do on weekdays, he is responsible for training all the nursing homes of Wucheng Palace, and most of the higher nursing homes in the palace have been accustomed to Kong Qing's training, but the low-level nursing homes are not very accustomed to Kong Qing's strictness, so when they see Kong Qing on weekdays, they are like mice seeing cats.

"Don't scare people, Master Kong went out with the prince today!"

After staying in the palace of Wucheng for a while, Qi Cheng finally changed his mind and no longer called Pei Ze "General Pei".

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Qi Cheng, and then said indifferently: "If you are disrespectful to the prince, you will be punished according to the following offenses, and the rod will be thirty." ”

As soon as Xiao Yanzhi's words fell, He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng, who were standing at the door, flashed behind Qi Cheng and stretched out their hands to catch Qi Cheng.

"Wait, wait, wait! I didn't disrespect the prince! Qi Cheng glared at himself and said, "I respect the prince the most!" ”

Xiao Yanzhi got up, looked at Qi Cheng's immature face and smiled, "What I'm saying is that you are disrespectful to this king. Drag it down, hit. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" He Yan still looked expressionless, dragging Qi Cheng's arm and dragging him out, while Zhang Shaosheng was smiling and pushing Qi Cheng with interest.

"Me! You! Seeing that the situation was not good, Qi Cheng hurriedly broke away from He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng, turned around and ran away.

Looking at Qi Cheng's back as he ran away, Zhang Shaosheng smiled and said, "This kid's kung fu is really good, he can escape fast enough." ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and lay back on the couch without care.

On the way from the backyard to the front yard, Qi Cheng unfortunately bumped into Li An.

As soon as Li An saw that the person running towards him was Qi Cheng, his face turned cold.

"Qi Cheng, stop!"

Qi Cheng stopped suddenly, stood straight in an instant, and only when he stood up straight did he realize that he had stopped in front of Li An.

"Li, Li Changshi ......"

Li An's eyebrows furrowed, and he shouted coldly: "What should you say when you see me?!" ”

Qi Cheng immediately stood up straighter, and said loudly: "I've seen Li Changshi!" ”

"There are no rules," Li An looked at Qi Cheng coldly, "Didn't Kong Sima tell you that you are not allowed to enter and leave the backyard at will?" ”

"Say...... Said. Qi Cheng's eyes drifted away, and he didn't dare to look at Li An, "Yes, it's the king of Shu who wants to see his humble position." ”

"King Shu?" Li An twisted his eyebrows, "I'll give you another chance, you give me a clear idea of what to say." Did you go to see the King of Shu, or did the King of Shu want to see you? ”

"Yes......" Qi Cheng swallowed his saliva, "It's the King of Shu who went to see him in his humble position......"

Li An's eyebrows jumped, and he said angrily: "Someone! Drag him down for a long memory! ”

This kid doesn't know what's going on, he obviously keeps saying that he worships their prince, but since he entered the Wucheng Palace, this kid has to trouble the King of Shu every day, what does he want to do if he is so interested in the King of Shu?

Hearing Li An's shout, a nurse immediately came over to restrain Qi Cheng, and forcibly took him off to the small courtyard where the nurses lived, and pressed it on the bench to beat him.

When the fight was over, Qi Cheng's face turned pale with pain, and he lay on the bench and cursed.

The nursing homes who were watching the excitement were still making fun of Qi Cheng, saying that Qi Cheng didn't have a long memory and deserved to be beaten, but at a certain moment, everyone closed their mouths together, and it seemed that Qi Cheng's scolding words were particularly loud.

Kong Qing just came back from outside after finishing his errands, and as soon as he came back, he heard that Qi Cheng was beaten, or Li An personally ordered it, no need to think that Kong Qing knew what Qi Cheng had done, originally thought that this kid would become more honest after being beaten, but as soon as he returned to the courtyard, he heard Qi Cheng's curse, and Kong Qing immediately blackened his face.

"Fight again."

Although there were only two short words, when Kong Qing's voice sounded above his head, Qi Cheng could tell it almost immediately, and he knew that something was wrong.

The two guards who had just put down the wooden staff had to pick up the wooden staff again, and when they walked to Qi Cheng's side, they gave Qi Cheng a look of self-begging.

Wucheng Wangfu recruits a nursing home once a year, and there are about a dozen teenagers recruited each time, but most of these are Chang'an locals, even if they are not locals, they have also been in Chang'an for a while, they all know the name of King Wucheng, and they all know the rules of Wucheng Palace, so they haven't encountered a thorn like Qi Cheng for a long time, but this kid doesn't have any bad intentions, but it's too unruly, and he doesn't have a long memory.

"I want to see the prince! I want to see the prince! When the wooden staff was about to fall on his body, Qi Cheng shouted again.

Kong Qing snorted coldly and said, "You are your father when you are the prince, can you see you when you say you?" Beat! ”

So it was ten canes again, with Kong Qing watching from the side, the guards holding the canes did not dare to show mercy, after these ten canes, Qi Cheng was so painful that he didn't even have the strength to speak, and even his consciousness became blurred.

Seeing that Qi Cheng seemed to be a little unconscious, Kong Qing raised his hand to stop, and then said coldly: "If you want to stay in Wucheng Palace, you must remember the rules, otherwise you will pack up your things and get out!" Carry it back to the house and apply the medicine. ”

After saying that, Kong Qing turned around and left the small courtyard, and as soon as he walked to the front yard hall, he saw Li An.

Catching a glimpse of Kong Qing, Li An walked over and asked, "Have you been to see Qi Cheng?" ”

"Well," Kong Qing nodded, "If you don't have a long memory, you will send him away, now is not a peaceful time, and there is no time to discipline him." ”

Hearing Kong Qing's words, Li An frowned slightly and asked, "What did the prince let you do?" ”

Kong Qing didn't speak, just raised his hand and turned up the cuffs of his shirt, revealing the sleeves of his blood-stained undershirt.

Li An was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Is it His Majesty's secret order?" ”

The secret order to send people from the Wucheng Palace's palace to carry out assassinations had only happened in the first half of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, and it happened every day, but why did it suddenly start again?

Kong Qing nodded.

"陛xià...... What is the meaning? Li An turned his head to look at the backyard of King Wucheng's mansion.

Kong Qing shook his head again.

"Li Changshi." The doorman of Wucheng Wangfu approached quickly, looking at Li An and Kong Qing with solemn expressions and doubts on their faces.

Li An's eyes flashed and he regained his normal appearance, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Kong Qing only glared at Li An and strode away, as if the two had just quarreled.

Seeing this, the man really thought that Li An and Kong Qing were just arguing, and immediately put this matter behind him: "Qi Li Changshi, there is a person named Liu Hanqing who asks to see the King of Shu. ”

"Liu Hanqing? Ask him to wait in the hall, and I will go to inform the king of Shu. With that, Li An turned and walked to the backyard.

The man arched his hand at Li An's back, and after answering the yes, he ran back to the door and took Liu Hanqing into the hall.

When he heard that Liu Hanqing wanted to see him, Xiao Yanzhi planned to refuse, but after thinking about it, he felt that Liu Hanqing would not be idle and had nothing to do, so he came to Wucheng Wangfu to scold, so he still went to the hall.

He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng also followed Xiao Yanzhi inseparably.

As soon as he saw Liu Hanqing, Xiao Yanzhi greeted him very unfriendly: "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Hanqing turned his head when he heard the sound, but there was no usual smile on his face.

Xiao Yanzhi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened to Junmeng?" ”

Liu Hanqing shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not Junmeng, it's ...... It's the woman you said resembled Sister Harutsuki. ”

"What? Do you see her again? Xiao Yanzhi's eyes suddenly had a smile, "Do you know where she lives?" ”

"It's been checked." At this point, Liu Hanqing stopped, looking at Xiao Yanzhi and refusing to continue.

Xiao Yanzhi sighed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Is she doing well?" ”

"She ......" Liu Hanqing opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything, "You come with me." ”

Liu Hanqing sighed, stood up and walked towards the gate of King Wucheng's mansion.

Xiao Yan was stunned and hurriedly raised his heels.

Li An didn't have time to say anything to Xiao Yanzhi, so he only grabbed He Yan and instructed: "Don't protect the King of Shu." ”

Li An had never asked for this sentence more, and suddenly said such a sentence solemnly, which made He Yan stunned.

Seeing He Yan's puzzled face, Li An said again: "You must protect the King of Shu, and you can't leave the King of Shu for a single step, understand?" ”

He Yan's heart tightened, and he nodded: "I know." ”

Before the words fell, He Yan hurried to chase Xiao Yanzhi.

Li An's reminder gave him a bad premonition, and at this time, he hoped that the King of Shu could stay quietly in the palace of King Wucheng.

Liu Hanqing rode a horse in front, not fast, seemed to be very hesitant, and was a little unsure whether to tell Xiao Yanzhi.

And Xiao Yanzhi, who was following behind, saw that Liu Hanqing hesitated like this, and had already prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect that the truth would always be worse than imagined, when Liu Hanqing stopped in front of Pingkangfang, Xiao Yanzhi was stunned.

"You...... Are you sure she's here? Xiao Yanzhi raised his head and looked blankly at the archway of Pingkangfang.

Liu Hanqing frowned and said: "I'm not sure, I just saw a figure with you that day, I wasn't sure if it was the same person I saw again, and I wasn't sure if she was your sister, but ......"

"Which one?" Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath.

Only when you see it will you know if it is or not.

"Come with me." Liu Hanqing hit the horse and entered Pingkangfang.

After two steps slow, Xiao Yanzhi hit the horse and walked into Pingkangfang.

Liu Hanqing stopped in front of a small music workshop, whether it was a spring banquet for candidates or an emperor's birthday banquet to entertain foreign envoys in the past two years, Xiao Yanzhi would never set foot in a music workshop of this scale.

Liu Hanqing turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yan again, and then led Xiao Yanzhi into this music shop.

It has passed the time of application, and there are already customers in the large and small music houses of Pingkang Fang, and this one is no exception.

Seeing the richly dressed Xiao Yanzhi and Liu Hanqing entering the door, the bustard's mother of the music fang immediately greeted them.

"It's the first time you've come here? Inside please! ”

Liu Hanqing took a step back, dodged the bustard's mother's enthusiastic outstretched hand, and then handed out a bunch of money and put it on the bustard's mother's embarrassed hand.

"Is Miss Green Sparrow there?"

The bustard's mother immediately put away the money, laughed and said, "Oh, the two sons are also here to see Qingque?" Unfortunately, someone took the lead today. The two sons are waiting here? We have other girls here, and they are also familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting! ”

Liu Hanqing smiled and handed out another bag of money, and said, "Can you be accommodating?" Just meet and talk a few words, and it won't be too long. ”

Won't be delayed for too long? The bustard's mother looked at Liu Hanqing suspiciously with the money bag, but after checking the money bag in her hand, the bustard's mother smiled again: "Come on, for the sake of the two sons being handsome, the slave will arrange it for the two sons." Two sons, please go upstairs. ”

Sitting in the small wing room of the music square, Liu Hanqing asked Xiao Yanzhi worriedly: "Yanzhi, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyes to look at Liu Hanqing, and said with a light smile: "What can I do?" ”

Liu Hanqing sat opposite Xiao Yanzhi and pouted: "If you don't speak, then the Eight Achievements are something." ”

Xiao Yanzhi: "It's just a little nervous. ”

"Nervous about what?" Liu Hanqing was puzzled.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at the door and said, "What if she is not Sister Chunyue?" What if she was Sister Harutsuki? How would she react when she saw me? What else can I do for her? ”

Liu Hanqing lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said with a smile: "Sister Chunyue is not you, how could she come all the way from Jiangnan to Chang'an?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "So far, I also hope that I am wrong." ”

But the three women who appeared in his life in this life, he was afraid that he would not be mistaken.

As he spoke, someone pushed the door open.

"I heard that two sons spent a lot of money to invite slaves to talk, I wonder what the two sons want to talk about?"

Gently closed the door, gracefully turned a flower door, Qingque's face was a signature smile, the eyebrows and corners of the eyes were with the charm of a mature woman, and the eyebrows and eyes could be seen to be the master of the Fengyue occasion.

Liu Hanqing glanced at Xiao Yanzhi nervously.

Xiao Yanzhi's face was the usual gentle smile, and it didn't change when he saw Qingque.

"Can the Green Sparrow come closer?"

"Near? How close is it to be? Qingque covered her lips and chuckled, and then walked to Xiao Yanzhi's side, and suddenly sat in Xiao Yanzhi's arms with a turn, "Does Childe think this is close enough?" ”

"Enough." Before the words fell, Xiao Yanzhi raised his hand and picked up the long hair hanging on one side of the green finch, which made the green finch shrink in fright.

Looking at the carved green on the green bird's neck, Xiao Yanzhi asked in a low voice, "This carved green is to cover the scar?" ”

Qingque was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Childe's eyesight is good, and the slave still thinks that the scar has disappeared so much that it can't be seen, it's really annoying!" ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said: "Well, it's so invisible, but I don't need to look at it, I also know where it is." ”

Before the words fell, Xiao Yanzhi had already raised his hand and pointed precisely at the position of the scar, and said nostalgically: "It was you who hit the wooden stake at the head of the bed in order to catch me who fell from the bed, and was scratched by wooden thorns." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qingque suddenly froze, and even the smile on his face disappeared.

Liu Hanqing sighed secretly, got up silently and walked outside the door.

It seems that the identity of this woman has been determined......

"When is it?" After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yanzhi spoke again, "When did they sell you?" When I went to look for you again when I was fourteen years old, the Chen family had already moved away, but I heard that you moved to Jingzhou, why are you in Chang'an? ”

Qingque finally found his voice, grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Let go of me, Gongzi recognized the wrong person." ”

Xiao Yanzhi hugged the person in his arms tightly, and said: "Among all the women I have met in my life, there are three that I will never admit wrong, one is my mother, one is my sister who is not half related to me, and the last one is my sister who has been raised by me since birth." ”

"Childe really recognized the wrong person, and the slave is not Childe's sister." Qingque struggled to get off Xiao Yanzhi's body.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Why don't you guess that you are my mother?" Don't struggle, I listened to your words more than ten years ago and let go of your hand, I already regretted it, I know that Sister Chunyue is a liar, and I won't listen to anything you say this time. ”

After Xiao Chunyue was sold to a merchant as a concubine, he went to find Xiao Chunyue, and when he was a teenager, he finally practiced his bow and arrows to ensure that he could protect himself, and he ran from their village to Xiao Chunyue's town, more than 30 miles each way, and he could only go back and forth on foot.

That was the first time he went to find Xiao Chunyue, and was scolded by Xiao Chunyue, Xiao Chunyue said that she had already lived the life of a rich person and didn't want to be involved with them who were poor. Xiao Yanzhi felt that Xiao Chunyue was reasonable, and seeing that Xiao Chunyue, who was a concubine, was wearing gold and silver, she probably really had a good life.

So after returning to the village, Xiao Yanzhi never went to Xiao Chunyue again, and it was not until he opened a wine shop in the town that he went to Chen's house again, originally just wanted to sneak a peek at whether Xiao Chunyue was still living a happy life, but at that time he learned that the Chen family had moved to Jingzhou because of business.

"What's the use of asking all of this now?" Xiao Chunyue sneered, "Seeing that you are dressed luxuriously, you must be a person with status and status now, what do you want to do if you have anything to do with a woman like me?" ”

"What's wrong with you like this? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive now. Xiao Yanzhi suddenly raised his voice and called Liu Hanqing outside the door in.

Liu Hanqing entered the door and asked Xiao Yanzhi, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm afraid that she will run away, and I won't be able to move for the time being, so you can help me go and redeem her." As he spoke, Xiao Yanzhi took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, "You are better at business than me." ”

"I see." Liu Hanqing picked up the silver ticket from the table and turned around to walk out.

"Stop!" Xiao Chunyue suddenly shouted, "I don't need you to redeem myself, you go quickly!" Don't come to this place again! ”

Xiao Yanzhi hugged Xiao Chunyue and said, "I said that no matter what you say, I won't listen." It's not a good place to catch up, so let's talk about it in a different place. Take you out of this place first, and then it's up to you wherever you want to go. ”

"You!" Xiao Chunyue glared at Xiao Yanzhi fiercely, "Are you crazy?" What if you redeem me? Can you bring me home? How could your wife allow you to bring a girl from a green house home? ”

"Nothing you're worried about will happen." Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile.

"You!"

Without waiting for Xiao Chunyue to say anything, an uninvited guest stepped into the wing.

"Qingque, you have been out for a long time, you dare to leave your official to meet your lover, who gave you the guts?!"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Chunyue panicked even more, and slapped Xiao Yanzhi's shoulder vigorously.

Xiao Yanzhi was helpless, so he could only free up one hand to clasp Xiao Chunyue's two hands: "Shhhhhhhh ”

Immediately after, Xiao Yanzhi looked at the man who walked in with a swagger, and said with a gentle smile: "It's really a coincidence that you will meet a tall man here." ”

As soon as Gao Yong, the right counselor of Zhongshu Province, heard this familiar voice, he woke up from alcohol, picked up the hem of his clothes and knelt down: "Shu, King Shu...... Xia Guan has seen the King of Shu. ”

"En," Xiao Yanzhi nodded, and then asked Gao Yongdao, "Is there something about Lord Gao coming to this king?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay, the lower officials are fine. Gao Yong immediately shook his head, "Disturb Wang Ye Yaxing, go down to the official and retire!" ”

After saying that, Gao Yong ran on the ground.

This time, Xiao Chunyue was dumbfounded.

"You...... Are you the King of Shu? ”

Xiao Yanzhi nodded a little apprehensively.

"King of Shu...... Is it the prince? Xiao Chunyue looked at Xiao Yanzhi blankly.

Xiao Yanzhi nodded again and said, "Sister Chunyue, my mother and I didn't mean to ......."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yanzhi was slapped in the face.

"You're the prince? You're actually a prince?! Xiao Chunyue looked at Xiao Yanzhi resentfully, "You are the prince, why didn't your mother take you to the emperor?!" Why are you coming to my house?! Don't call me sister...... Who's your sister?! ”

If it wasn't for the purpose of supporting Xiao Yanzhi's mother and son, how could her father sell her? She didn't want her family to worry, she was afraid that her family would know what kind of life she was living, so she pretended to be doing well, even if she was sold by the Chen family later, she didn't think about going back to affect her family, but if Xiao Yanzhi was the prince, then why did she suffer so much?

"It's not...... Sister Chunyue, listen to me......"

"I don't listen!" Xiao Chunyue bent her elbow and hit Xiao Yanzhi's face, and jumped out of Xiao Yanzhi's arms when Xiao Yanzhi released his hands when he dodged, "Get out, don't come to me again!" ”

When the words fell, Xiao Chunyue turned around and ran.

"Sister Chunyue!" Xiao Yanzhi got up and chased out.

Liu Hanqing touched the right side of his face, secretly thinking that Xiao Chunyue's slap was really hard, but he didn't fail to understand Xiao Chunyue's mood, if he was Xiao Chunyue, he probably even had the heart to stab Xiao Yanzhi with a knife, right?

Not daring to delay time, Liu Hanqing also rushed out of the wing.

He had to settle all the idlers before there were idlers waiting to stir up the situation.
