Chapter 143: That's Family
Shenyue Haoqing sent the two to the door, where a carriage was already parked, and Black Eagle was waiting for them by the carriage, "This king still has something to deal with, so let Black Eagle send you back first." ”
"Well, got it, cousin." Lan Yunxi nodded.
"Be careful with yourself, and don't be impulsive in doing things in the future." Although Shenyue Haoqing said this to the two of them, his eyes were always looking at Li Anyue.
In this short time together, Lan Yunxi didn't fail to see Shenyue Haoqing's attitude towards Li Anyue that was different from that towards others, and her heart sank several times, but when she looked at Li Anyue, she had another subtle feeling in her heart, and she just nodded and got into the carriage at the moment.
Li Anyue also nodded, "Then Lord Wang, let's go back first, and you should pay more attention to your own safety." ”
Shenyue Haoqing watched the carriage drive out at a high speed, and then strode back to the palace. After a while, the sharp-eyed people could see dozens of black shadows falling into the palace.
Maybe it was Li Anyue who saved her, since that day, Lan Yunxi's attitude towards Li Anyue has changed a lot, and she is no longer as hostile as before, although sometimes she is still a little rusty, but compared to before, there have been many improvements, which makes the people around her a little surprised, Li Anyue sometimes doesn't know whether the incident in Chunsheng Pavilion is a disaster or a blessing.
Although Shenyue Haoqing instructed Li Anyue not to act without authorization, Li Anyue still unconsciously wanted to pay attention to the information of the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, remembering that Huzi seemed to have said that he was the guard in the Imperial Forest Army, so he found various reasons to hang around the Chengde Hall when he had nothing to do.
After the Kunning Palace incident, the people in the palace have more or less heard about Li Anyue, although some people are also quite disdainful of her, after all, as a palace maid, everyone has already soared, and she is still a little slave day after day, so she is naturally unwilling in her heart. But because there is already a precedent, everyone naturally can't mess with her without messing with her, so those guards didn't care about her, after all, not everyone has the ability to bring out a plate of mung bean cake from the emperor.
Finally, a few days later, after stepping on the spot many times, Li Anyue finally intercepted Lin Hu on the road.
"Yue'er, why are you here?" Lin Hu was startled by Li Anyue, who suddenly jumped out, and almost drew his knife without reflex.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, I want to come and see you!" Li Anyue stepped back and continued to smile cheekily.
"Tell me, is there anything you want me to help with?" Since she was a child, whenever she needs to ask him for help with something, she will always behave very well-behaved, so Lin Hu is used to her sudden overtures.
"Huzi, why do you say such an out-of-the-ordinary thing, I also brought you mung bean cake, this is the emperor's reward!" Li Anyue smiled awkwardly, she was really embarrassed to be recognized so quickly, and handed Lin Hu the plate of mung bean cake that she had just asked for from the Shenyue Cangting.
"Yue'er, where did you get such a big ability?" Lin Hu maintains a high degree of admiration for the current emperor, just like those young boys and girls chasing stars, so he carefully took the mung bean cake at the moment.
"Hehe, I just begged for it." Li Anyue wouldn't tell him that in order to buy him with this mung bean cake, he went to grind ink for Shenyue Cangting every day.
"Yue'er, you're really amazing." Huzi ate the mung bean cake with satisfaction, but was a little worried when he saw Li Anyue's veil, "I heard that you were punished by the queen mother before, and I have always wanted to see you, but I didn't have a chance, are you better now?" ”
"Well, it's all right, you don't have to worry." Li Anyue clenched his fist as he spoke, showing his strength.
"But your face ......," Lin Hu pointed to her veil.
"It's just that there are some scars, it's just a look, and if you can't see it with a veil, it won't get in the way."
"Ordinary women regard their looks as life, but you can see it." Lin Hu looked at her with some puzzlement.
"It's okay, it doesn't look good anyway. And the prince has also found me a lot of famous doctors recently, maybe I will have a chance to be reborn in the future! Li Anyue secretly stuck out her tongue, fortunately she was just pretending to be disfigured, if her appearance was really ruined, she couldn't be so calm.
When Lin Hu heard her mention the prince, the look in his eyes couldn't help but deepen, "Yue'er, are you and King Qingning really together as rumored?" ”
Li Anyue was stunned, then looked at him and nodded firmly.
The mung bean cake that Lin Hu was holding in his hand fell some powder, but he still smiled reluctantly, "With the prince here, it is true that no one will hurt you, but next time you have to be more careful, don't always be arrogant, you must know that not everyone in the palace will let you, if you really provoke some people who can't be messed with, you won't be so lucky." ”
"Well, I see, I'll take notice." Li Anyue knew that he was right, so he nodded seriously, "Huzi, in fact, I came to you this time, and I really want to ask you something." ”
"What's the matter?"
Li Anyue glanced around, pulled him to a secluded corner and asked him in a low voice, "Is the leader of the Royal Forest Army called Luo Xiao?" ”
"Commander Luo? What does this come for, you ask? ”
"How's that Luo Xiao man?"
"Yue'er, why are you asking these questions?" Lin Hu looked at her a little strangely.
"Uh...... Just a little curious. Li Anyue scratched her head, and lowered her head weakly.
"Do you think I don't know about you? Yue'er, do you have a lot of things to hide from me? Lin Hu also knew what she meant when he saw her action.
Li Anyue looked at him with some embarrassment, "Huzi, do you believe me?" ”
"From childhood to adulthood, I don't believe anything you say." Lin Hu said helplessly.
Li Anyue remembered that when he was in a bad mood, he always teased him when he was in a bad mood, and felt funny, "I know Huzi, you are really the best friend!" But there are many things I really can't tell you right now, and if you believe me, please don't ask me yet, and you'll find out later. ”
Lin Hu wanted to ask something more, but after thinking about it, she wouldn't say anything, so she didn't ask anymore, "Okay, I'm not close to Commander Luo, he usually only comes to see it when he is training, and he usually gives instructions to the leaders of each group when he has anything." ”
Li Anyue couldn't help but be disappointed when she heard this, but she still didn't give up, "Then does that Commander Luo usually have someone who is relatively close?" Ministers or close subordinates or something. ”
Lin Hu thought for a moment, "Commander Luo's attitude towards each of his subordinates is similar, so the soldiers have always respected him very much, because he will not show favoritism. On weekdays, I don't see him close to any minister, and there are more solitary contacts. However, in my opinion, that Commander Luo should not be a bad person, I heard that he has made many meritorious deeds before, and he is also very loyal to the emperor. ”
Li Anyue listened, dare to love this Luo Xiao is still a good person, looking at Lin Hu's serious appearance, Li Anyue can't expose Luo Xiao's true face now, and thought about it, "In this way, maybe I misunderstood." ”
Lin Hu looked at her and knew that she was insincere, sighed, and knocked under her head. Li Anyue covered her head in pain, "Stinky tiger!" What are you doing? ”
"Don't you know that you can easily be seen as soon as you lie?"
Li Anyue lowered her head weakly, of course she knew that there was such a fatal point, but every time she lied, she would be very weak-hearted, and she would unconsciously make some habitual actions. After thinking about it, she raised her head and looked at Lin Hu with a pair of dark eyes, "Huzi, then I'll tell you the truth, there are some things that I have seen with my own eyes, and the person who is Commander Luo is still to be discussed, so I hope you don't tell anyone else about today's matter." ”
A trace of confusion flashed in Lin Hu's eyes, and he nodded instead, "Yue'er, I said that if I believe you, I will naturally not lose my trust in you, don't worry." ”
"Well, thank you, Huzi, sincerely." Li Anyue nodded at him gratefully.
Lin Hu smiled helplessly, "Don't thank me, I didn't help you anyway." ”
"No, at least you believe me without any doubt."
Lin Hu looked at her, "Then aren't you like this, haven't you thought that I would betray you in the blink of an eye?" ”
Li Anyue was stunned for a moment, yes, he had never thought about this problem, never thought about whether he was still as difficult as he was when he was a child, and never thought about whether he had become a stranger, as if he had taken it for granted that he was on his side, as if he had already regarded him as family from the bottom of his heart. Lin Hu smiled, reached out and touched her head, "Since you believe in me so unconditionally, I naturally have to believe that you are." ”
Li Anyue looked at him and smiled movingly, "Well, okay." ”
"And didn't you give me mung bean cake? The emperor's reward, then this is a great gift! Lin Hu saw her like this, and his heart softened, so he joked.
"Well, yes, then you can eat more, and if you still want to eat, I will ask the emperor to appreciate more!"
"No, no, that's enough." Lin Hu pulled her with tears and laughter, and Li Anyue also reacted and laughed embarrassedly.
Lin Hu looked at her with a smile, sure enough, no matter what her appearance became, as long as she was still her, in his eyes or in his heart, she was still the same as before, and she was worthy of his constant protection, although the person who was guarding her side might not be him, but he never regretted doing so.
