The meeting place was near the national treasury, and the fire case last time was still hanging, He Yanzhi frowned and thought about it, and was in a dilemma.

Lin De Hall to the treasury, even walking at night, with his speed is not slow.

The hour is still early, the location is clear, and even the hidden guards can be laid down in advance.

It's just that the manpower is limited, and if you go to the treasury, there will be fewer people left in the bamboo garden of the Lin De Palace.

After last night's abnormal movement, he did not find out his eyebrows, and at this time he wanted to make an appointment, He Yanzhi's first reaction was to think of whether there was fraud in it?

However, the message from the empress's study is clear that the war in the Northland is about to resume, just like a pot of boiling water is finally about to boil!

He pondered quietly, weighing both sides, but hesitated.

He Yanzhi paced back and forth in the room, I don't know how many laps he walked, and finally made the decision to go to the appointment first.

Outside the main building of the Lin De Palace, one of the strongest kung fu guards was left to protect her, and even let her enter the secret room if necessary!

Besides, it won't be long before he comes back as soon as he finishes talking.

He Yanzhi thought about it again and again, and determined that this trip was a must-go!

The decision was made, but my heart was still unsettled.

What happened last night was too strange, and the fire flower garden had just had an accident, with her skills, someone really came to her, how to resist?

Although the hidden guard's kung fu is good, he still has to take care of the number of opponents.

If there were many people coming, He Yan's heart sank, and the origin and purpose of the other party had not yet been figured out about last night's incident, but that elusive feeling was really bad!

At this time, I really want to have someone by my side to talk to.

It won't be her, if it's suing her. I'm afraid that she will be scared at night and dare not sleep!

If you don't say it, will you be more scared when it comes to the end?

He Yanzhi sat lonely at the table, rubbing his forehead with a headache.

He hadn't slept well for several nights, and he was the most tired since he recovered, and he used forbidden drugs, which should have required a period of careful recuperation. But things are all crammed together.

Didn't give him any respite.

He was a little nostalgic for his days in the East Courtyard.

At that time, he was not healed. I have to drink the medicine that is hard to swallow every day, but I look back at the table in the interval, and I look at each other when the chessboard is playing. Even her quirky quips.

Looking back now, it is all evidence of the quiet and stable years.

It's really strange that such a half-imprisoned courtyard with a stagnant state of mind could become completely different with one more person.

Some people. is really born with the ability to change the bad environment and change people, such as her!

Understand the depths of the day. The more I understand how that person fell into it little by little.

What's even more terrifying is that that infiltration starts slowly and unconsciously, and then accumulates over time and gradually deepens.

Look beyond the window. Throwing himself into the bamboo forest, He Yanzhi got up and walked towards the door with a somewhat pale face

Before you go. You have to take a look at it and say a few words to feel at ease.

He arranged to go down to the hidden guards to perform their duties. After doing this, I slowly walked up the stairs to the upper floor.

All the way I was thinking about what to say after the meeting, it seemed that I couldn't reveal too much, and I didn't want her to be completely kept in the dark, in case an uninvited guest came, she was not prepared at all.

It's not easy to get the conversation right

The moonlight outside the window is just right, I can't sleep repeatedly before I have no choice but to get up to read, this hour, it should be less than the time when Xiao Si came over.

I have the impression that the last time he came to the flower garden to lure me away, it was also at a later time.

He is like a fish in water in the palace, but tonight I sweat for him.

He Yanzhi arranged the hidden guards in the bamboo garden, and any path to the main building had to pass through the bamboo garden, and this building was in the center.

How can Xiao Si bypass those treacherous hidden guards?

I remembered that a few days ago I could still come and go freely, and it was easy to meet, and then compared with the dilemma in front of me, it was all thanks to the fire.

Lin De Hall is a safe place to live, and when you come in, you find that there are too many restrictions in the garden, even if it is for safety reasons, it is very helpless.

It wasn't for me to decide in the first place, a fire was like a push hand to send me in, and now I can't regret it.

I just didn't expect He Yanzhi to come at such a late hour! "Xiaoling!"

He Yanzhi moved a chair and sat down opposite me, but he stopped him from saluting.

His solemn expression led me to guess, and I thought about it for a while.

The room was lit with lights, and although the light was not as bright as during the day, it was enough to see all the expressions of the people sitting in front of them.

This feels familiar!

I looked at him, and after a while, He Yanzhi whispered to me, "I'm going out tonight." “

I looked at him in surprise, and when I met his gaze, I hesitated and asked, "What you said was going out, are you leaving the palace?" “

Thinking fiercely in his mind, he was ready, waiting for Xiao Si to come and answer me, why is there something wrong with He Yanzhi here now.

Message leaked? Or is there another change in the palace that I don't know about?

With a lot of doubts in my heart, I tried my best to suppress my feelings, and the expression on my face still showed a little bit inadvertently. "You don't have to be nervous," He Yanzhi lowered his eyes and comforted me in a flat tone, "I received a letter from outside the palace that an old man asked me to meet near the treasury tonight. “

My heart jumped, treasury?! The place of the appointment he said was the state treasury!

As long as it has something to do with the two fires, it makes me extremely sensitive. "Yes, it's not going out of the palace, it's going to the treasury," He Yanzhi told the truth, "but I don't know what the other party meant." “

He Yanzhi's face was pale, showing a tired expression, he closed his eyes and said: "I have set up a hidden guard in the courtyard, and I am afraid that there will be an accident in tonight's meeting, so I will take most of them away." “

The more I listened, the more surprised I became, not as I thought, but it was clear that things were going in the other direction.

Did Xiao Si really choose the wrong time, would the old man in He Yanzhi's mouth be the person I guessed?

My heart was beating faster and faster, reminding myself to calm down, it couldn't be Penglai Pavilion. I know his physical condition, how can he go far away at night.

If these two people really want to meet, they will definitely choose between Lin De Hall and Penglai Pavilion.

So, who could it be?! can give He Yanzhi, the master of the harem, a reason to go, and even bring the elite of the hidden guards around him.

I looked at him with mixed feelings.

Let me make a bold guess, in front of him. It's not the first time I've gone out of line.

"Does it have anything to do with the war in the Northlands?" I thought of it for no reason.

He Yanzhi opened his eyes. He looked at me strangely, and there was a smile on his lips.

He didn't answer yes or no, but his expression already said a thing.

"If it really has something to do with it." I thought about it for a moment, "You have to figure out which side you're on." ”

"Xiaoling is worried about my safety," he asked with a smile in his eyes and a smile in his voice.

"Needless to say. I hate to watch fights and kills," I lowered my eyes and didn't dare to look at him. continued, "If you stand in the wrong line, even the people of the Lin De Hall will suffer. ”

"You won't stay in the palace for long, so why worry about this." He Yanzhi looked at me with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see into my heart.

"I have a pact with you. This has never been hidden, and you have always been there for me. Naturally, I hope you are doing well. ”

"Meet?" I said to myself, "If you can talk about it, talk about it, and if you disagree, it's best to go and run early." ”

"Besides, this is His Majesty's place, and outsiders are not allowed to be presumptuous." I have strengthened my courage.

He Yanzhi finally couldn't help but smile and said, "You have a clear mind. "Where, I've always been confused." "If there is an accident tonight, I have explained to the hidden guard, if it is not safe in the building, go to the study on the ground floor, there is a secret room over there."

My eyes widened and I looked at He Yanzhi, and he said calmly: "You have been to my study once, and you have probably guessed the mystery inside. “

He sighed and said meaningfully: "Now the troublemaker cat is gone, and it's very quiet." "You tell me all these secrets?" I was so shocked that I didn't know how to answer.

I have to take a good look at He Yanzhi, there is a strong sense of unreality in tonight's conversation.

From the first time I saw this person to the present, it has become more and more outrageous.

I've thought about this question more than once, how can I be so virtuous!

To be honest, although the battle in the Northland is fierce, full of haze, and there is still a fog ahead, it has no fundamental connection with me, what I care about is the way he handles it.

From the beginning to the end, the topics he was talking about revolved around my safety tonight.

He didn't have any definite news, he just had a premonition that someone outside was going to enter this courtyard?

I looked into his eyes, momentarily confused. "Come, Xiaoling, I'll tell you how to open the mechanism." He Yanzhi reached out and took a cup on the table, dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote on the table, "Xiaoling, someone entered the garden last night," He Yanzhi raised his eyebrows lightly, "I'm worried that they will be bad for you, and I haven't determined the mastermind behind the fire in the flower garden so far." "There is evidence, but not enough to prove that it is the person." He Yanzhi stood up, walked around the room, rubbed his fingers on his forehead, looked at the lamp and said, "In this case, I am the most reluctant to leave this garden. ”

"Especially when you're here." "Your Majesty," I said as I looked at him in a daze, "why?" “

He Yanzhi turned to me, bowed his head and smiled, his pale face and the green shadow under his eyes couldn't cover it: "How can there be so many whys, I hope you stay in the Linde Hall safely, just do it." ”

"Or, it's me worrying too much," he lowered his eyelashes and laughed to himself, "Or, a qiē shun lì." ”

"Wait until I get back."

The drapes swayed gently in the wind.

Before leaving, He Yanzhi walked to the window, closed it carefully, and turned his head to look at me. "You wait," the indescribable feeling in my heart was surging, very uncomfortable, unspeakably uncomfortable!

I reached out and checked it on the table, and among the medicines that had been delivered one after another in the past few days, many pill boxes were also piled on top. "Here's this." I stepped forward and looked up at him, "It's a headache medicine." “

He Yanzhi stretched out his hand to take it, didn't eat, and put it in his arms.

He reached out and closed the curtain and looked at my face, a fleeting sadness in his eyes, but immediately a sense of calm was restored.

Before leaving, he whispered to me, "Don't be afraid, when you come to me, you don't need to be like them." "Xiaoling!"

In an instant, He Yanzhi left without looking back, leaving me stunned and unable to come back to my senses!

All that lingered in my mind was the words he had when he was leaving.

(Narrator: Please play back Chapter 16 of Volume 3 for the children's shoes that are not identified here.)

The night breeze came through the window, and I reopened the window.

In the Lin De Hall at night, the bamboo garden was silent, and I didn't know where the hidden guard who was entrusted by He Yanzhi was hiding at this moment.

I lay on the table, waiting quietly with the aroma of the pile of pills.

I looked up alarmedly and heard an unusually slight noise in the courtyard

Not long after, there was a slight movement from the window again, and I quickly turned and ran over.

In the next second, the figure in the night suit made my eyes light up.

"Little Four, how did you get rid of the hidden guard outside?" I saw clearly that it was him, and quickly asked.

He gestured, and I actually understood, "You said there is a helper?" ”

I was very unpleasantly associated with the scar-faced man, the abnormal movement I heard just now, could it be his handiwork, Xiaosi specially asked him for help, right?

In that case, he will be proud again when they meet next time!

Xiao Si shook his head, took out a small object from his arms, and stuffed it into me.

When I looked closely, I almost screamed.

That little thing was a purse, embroidered with a pattern that I had been thinking about for a long time, and I decided to give a souvenir when I was on the boat, and my brother was leaving.

After thinking about it, thinking of his inseparable relationship with Haiguo, the final chosen pattern was a small dolphin.

I don't know what the people of their sea country call it, but I can tell from the reaction of the senior brother that he knows it and must have seen it.

The purse that he cherished with him, the purse he promised to keep forever, is now back in my hands.

I couldn't help but pull Xiao Si excitedly and said, "Where is my senior brother?" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Si's eyes, as if to confirm, and I hurriedly said, "Take me to meet him." ”

I frowned and looked at Xiao Sidao: "You said that my senior brother led away the hidden guard?" "What did he think, he didn't come to see me when he got to the palace as soon as he came." "Could it be that the two people last night had something to do with you?"

I'm thinking, how could Xiao Si have something to do with the people of Haiguo and Tianfang, hasn't he been an errand boy in the palace for many years? The sea country is far away, how can it intersect with Sealand here?

Even if there is, how can one of his attendants recognize Tianfang, the status of the two people is not commensurate at all, if you want to know, it should be the Sealand reception official who knows him.

I looked at Xiao Si hesitantly, if I hadn't known that he had helped me many times, I would have doubted him at this moment! "It's true, I asked him to help lure people away, I came here last night, and I happened to meet him, and I want to come to you all the same, and after discussing with him, we will simply join forces." "He gave me the token to confirm his identity." "I knew it was my brother at a glance, I embroidered something, there is no second one, and besides," I was embarrassed, "Ordinary people can't do this!" (To be continued)
