I took two steps back, trembled, and fell to my knees.
He Yanzhi frowned and said, "I didn't tell you, you don't have to kneel here." โ
I didn't dare to say a word, and my heart kept beating drums. "Xiaoling, you get up."
My lips moved, and I temporarily lost the ability to speak.
I overturn all the previous words!
I'm still scared when I see these two things that leave a very bad memory!
Except for the first meeting, the next few meetings between me and He Yanzhi were not on the roof of the main building, so the mood was completely different from now.
He Yanzhi slowly approached me, leaned down, sighed and said, "I didn't expect that in the Lin De Palace, my instructions would not work. โ
I took a deep breath, and after thinking about it for a long time, I finally stood up, faced him and said, "Your Majesty, I came here today just to return the courtesy. โ
He didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
There was silence in the room, a dead silence that could be heard even when a pin fell on the ground.
After a long time, I mustered up the courage to break the silence and said: "I am a little palace maid, I just want to stay in the palace safely, and when it is time to go out, I will naturally leave, and I will definitely not mention a word if I shouldn't say anything." "You came to the palace to be a palace maid?"
The corners of He Yanzhi's mouth brought a smile, and he slowly approached my ear and said in a voice that only I could hear, "There shouldn't be anything you want in the Linde Palace, and there doesn't seem to be anything in Penglai Pavilion, so what should I do?" โ
It took me a great deal of restraint to suppress my trembling feelings, and I whispered, "Imperial Lord, I don't understand what you mean. โ
If he had punished me for my sin, I would have died hundreds of times in such an answer!
Since he didn't even care about the title, it meant that he really wanted to talk to me.
Think of the excuses he said. Miscalculated the hour?! The devil believes in him!
Dangerous moves!
Once again, he made it clear that he would not pursue me and let me go, but what was the difference between it and grabbing the handle? "Xiaoling, make a deal with you," He Yanzhi said in a calm tone, "What do you think?" โ
Finally getting to the point, he has countless ways to avoid people's eyes. I believe in the whole Linde Temple. Nor was there a second unlucky ghost who could witness his secrets with his own eyes.
It's me, he got the timing right, he just - deliberately!
I'm like a grasshopper tied to a rope with him now. The thought of this makes my chest tight.
This feeling of being led by the nose is terrible!
He wouldn't want my life, but he kept me in secret.
He Yanzhi looked down at me. He said softly, "I'm willing to help you, you might as well tell me." "At what cost?" I was silent for a long time. Raising his head and looking into his eyes, he said, "There is no benefit in this world for no reason, I have always known it. โ
Half an hour later, it was finally time to leave.
I watered the pot of purple flowers that I had placed next to my bed. The movements were very careful, He Yanzhi sat on the side, his eyes always around my movements. "I haven't watered it in days. Are the attendants of the Lin De Hall so lazy? โ
I muttered. "You're wrong." He Yanzhi, who was beside me, heard my complaint and responded loudly. "I didn't allow them to touch it."
Let's talk. He stood up, and I subconsciously put down the small watering can I was holding in my hand, walked over quickly, and paused halfway through.
I don't think I need to hold on to it now.
When He Yanzhi saw my actions, he smiled and said, "There are few people in the main building, and even fewer palace maids. โ
He slowed down his tone and said word by word, "You are the only one who can enter my inner room. โ
I finally couldn't hold back my feelings, and at that moment I even forgot about my fear, and looked at him fixedly and frowned: "What does the emperor want to say?" "You understand."
Glancing back at He Yanzhi, I stopped and said, "I have something to ask you, when I entered the courtyard, I saw Xiao Mingzhu, the little girl who lived in the training ground with you." โ
He Yanzhi raised his head and looked at me, and said with a smile: "You won't ask me to take care of the affairs in the yard, if you want to take care of it, you don't have to wait a few days." "Am I not going to make a deal with you now?" "Yes," I sighed, "it's all calculated by you, I have to agree, but you also said that there are still a few days, Xiaozhu is here, doing rough work, and she doesn't even have a winter coat in the morning." โ
I looked gloomy and said, "You can send clothes to the flower garden, can't you still tell the steward." "The flower garden is because you're there."
I was so embarrassed that I was speechless.
Even if his calculations were already clear in front of him, this kind of talk still sounded awkward.
I turned my head away from He Yanzhi, and said in a low voice: "Even if you don't want to come forward and ask the steward yourself, you can also take advantage of the time when you are walking around the yard to mention it in passing." โ
Turning his gaze back to He Yanzhi's body, his increasingly stunning face was due to his calculation of me, and now I look really dazzling.
I fixed my mind and said: "The entire place of the Lin De Hall is yours, and all the personnel are up to you, and the welfare of the little palace maid is not a matter of your words." โ
He Yanzhi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, but this time he didn't say the same thing as just now to intercept my words.
I was secretly glad that his next sentence left me speechless. "So, when you get to the Lin De Palace, you will have the final say?"
In the early morning, on the streets of the national capital, there are figures walking by the stone bridge.
It was still early, and in the courtyard of the house deep in the alley, the old man had just gotten up and was enthusiastically enlivening his muscles under the tree.
After finishing a set of punches like a cloud, he felt that his breath was smooth, and then he pulled the bamboo chair under the tree, sat lazily and sat up to meet the rising sun.
He was thinking about whether to go to the east gate of Xilan to inquire about the news later, when the door of the small courtyard was gently pushed open.
The man in blue walked in with his hands in his hands, and when he saw the old man, he smiled and said, "Master, morning!" โ
"Morning fart!" As soon as the old man saw this stinky boy, his mood instantly became bad, and he didn't look at who made him noisy last night and didn't sleep well in the middle of the night. It made him wake up in the middle of the night and think that there was chaos in the national capital. "Hey, I said, where are you going?" The old man saw that he said hello and was about to leave, so he had to stand up and follow him and nag step by step, "Hey, what do you mean by what I said, you tied up a person in the middle of the night." He also threw it in the yard to make such a big noise. "Who's that man?" The old man said in a sullen tone. "Wouldn't you just ask him yourself?"
The man in blue and the old man entered the side room one after the other. Inside, a man with his hands and feet tied and a ball of cloth stuffed in his mouth was glaring at the door.
The old man was drowsy last night, and he didn't see the person's appearance clearly, and the sky was bright at this moment. At first glance, he suddenly let out a cheer, smiled and said, "Good boy, you have become filial!" โ
Let's talk about it. He raised his hand and patted the man in blue twice on the shoulder and said, "I know that the master I don't like you, and the whole stand-in will let me fight a dozen to get angry, right?" โ
"By the way, I remember you told me. I have to go on errands and leave for a few days, so I leave a target for me to vent? โ
The man in blue squinted at the old man and said, "You might as well say, I understand that your kung fu is not as good as mine, and it is more appropriate to find a stand-in who does not know kung fu so that you will not be too embarrassed." โ
The man in blue didn't let it go. "Stinky boy. Ahh โ
The old man blew his beard and glared at him as if he was about to do it, turned his head and looked curiously at the tightly tied "zongzi" in front of him and said, "Why is he so similar to you." You two can't be twins, right? โ
The old man's head spun around, comparing the faces of the two men. There's a hint of fun in it.
He knew that the man in blue must have been easy to look at when he went out, and his current appearance was also manipulative, but he still recognized the similarities between these two people from the subtleties, and the more he looked at it, the more interested he became.
The man in blue didn't answer, walked to the side of the "zongzi" in the corner of the house, tilted his head and thought about it, leaned down and smiled: "Sir, don't be surprised, I still have something to do last night, so I have to make this decision." "I'll loosen the tie for my husband." "Zongzi" listened to what he said, not only was he not grateful, but the anger in his eyes was even worse. "Hey, I mean, this guy has a very bad temper." The old man stroked his beard and said. "Master, didn't you rush to the palace gate today to inquire about the news?" The man in blue looked back. "That's right," the old man patted his head, got up and left, walked to the door, turned around and said, "You have something to say to him, isn't it related to your little junior sister?" โ
The man in blue said helplessly: "Absolutely not, it's just my own business, and the little junior sister will have to see it in a few days." โ
The footsteps outside the door were far away, and the man in blue looked back and smiled: "Mr. Bai, I have offended." โ
I walked in the bamboo forest with heavy steps, and it was still empty as when I came.
When I walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, I saw the two attendants who had brought me earlier waiting.
When he saw me come out, one of them took the lead and said, "Miss Xiaoling, the emperor asked us to send you out." โ
I had nothing in my hands, and I was a little puzzled by He Yanzhi's arrangement, but I didn't ask more, just follow these two people along the way I came.
When she arrived at the side door, Xiao Mingzhu was waiting under the tree, and this time she was the only one, and there was no trace of the previous steward. "Sister Xiaoling," Mingzhu ran over and grabbed my arm, "You have time to come here to see me, my sisters are not here, and it is very deserted." "You're here with all your heart, don't complain to me." I saw Mingzhu's new winter coat.
She followed my gaze and bowed her head, and said with a smile: "The emperor is good, I asked the steward to send it just now." "It's cold, remember to wear more clothes, I have to go back to my life."
Saying goodbye to the little pearl, I felt very bad in my heart, I walked out of the side door of the Lin De Palace, and walked all the way to the vicinity of the lake.
When I came to the quiet lakeside, there was a noise at this moment, and it sounded noisy, and there were a bunch of people talking.
I was shocked, and I suddenly thought that something had happened? (To be continued)
