Xu Zhenhan recalled the scene at that time, and continued: "I felt that he seemed to be staring at me for a while, and later, I pretended not to know, and said a few words to the vendor, and the vendor left, and he withdrew his gaze. ”

"Qiu Shiju ......" Rong Xi's fingers tapped lightly on the table, she quickly planned in her heart, this Qiu Shiju, but the king of Qi Leng Yiwei's person.

Rong Xi naturally understood in her heart that if Qiu Shiju could recognize Xu Zhenhan, then it would mean that a bunch of troubles were about to be found, and her eyes were slightly narrow, like a cold arrow ready to be sent.

"You go first," after a while, Rong Xi said to Xu Zhenhan: "Don't act rashly, don't panic when you hear any rumors, don't come to the palace these days, if there is something, this princess will naturally go to you." ”

Xu Zhenhan's lips pursed, and he was about to say something, when Rong Xi stopped him and said: "Don't worry, your worries, this princess knows that if Qiu Shiju is not sure that that person is you, although the disguise at that time did not make your appearance change dramatically, but there is still a big difference from your current appearance, even if he is suspicious, he can only be suspicious." ”

Rong Xi's eyes shone brightly, as if he could see through people's hearts, "If he wants to be sure that that person is you, then he will inevitably come up with various ways to test it, no matter what happens, he just needs to do what this princess asks him to do, and wait and see." By your side, from now on, this princess will send people to secretly follow you, and if there is any abnormality, they will bring the situation back. ”

Hearing Rong Xi say this, Xu Zhenhan breathed a sigh of relief, the worries in his heart were gone, and he saluted: "So, I'll leave below." ”

Rong Xi nodded, looked at Xin Xiao again and said, "You go and send it." ”

Xin Xiao's face turned even redder, but the joy in her eyes was shining, she nodded, turned around and walked out of the courtyard with Xu Zhenhan.

Seeing Xu Zhenhan's back disappear into the gate of the courtyard, Rong Xi didn't have the mood to study that thing for the time being, and what was more important and urgent than that at the moment was how to deal with Qiu Shiju's suspicions.

Rong Xi's mind began to think about countermeasures intensively, she must think about everything in front, this matter is a matter of importance, there can be no trace of difference, once it is opened, the lives of the Lan family's father and daughter cannot be saved, not to mention, even the people of the Xu family have to take it, and the first of them, of course, is Ning Wangfu.

Leng Yiwei was in the pavilion and asked lightly, "Lord Qiu, I heard that your niece is sick?" ”

At the mention of this matter, Qiu Shiju's face turned into a bitter melon, and he sighed helplessly and said, "Exactly, Lord Wang, you must also know this...... It's just nonsense. ”

"This king doesn't know," Leng Yiwei's eyes looked as sharp as a knife, "Lord Qiu, what do you want to question?" Questioning the Imperial Doctor? The imperial physician made a clear diagnosis and returned to the emperor. ”

Qiu Shiju's face changed slightly, his body stiffened slightly, the helplessness on his face turned into a faint panic, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, the prince is right." ”

"Well," Leng Yiwei turned around again, slowly took the wine glass, put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed, "That's right, Miss Cai is really sick." ”

“…… Be. Qiu Shiju lowered his head and gritted his teeth ruthlessly, anyway, this niece has been raised for so many years, and it is not a bad treatment for her, not only did she not help herself in the end, but she also affected herself, which can't be blamed on herself, she can only blame her for her hard life.

"Well," Leng Yiwei took a sip of wine, the wine was fragrant, "This king sympathizes with Miss Cai and Lord Qiu, but Lord Qiu also knows that if someone in the house neglects the guards and Miss Cai runs out and does something, it will not be good, so ...... I also hope that Lord Qiu will be very careful. ”

His words seemed to be admonished and affectionate, but to Qiu Shiju's ears, those words of gentle concern were like a whistling wind, rampaging in his ears.

Qiu Shiju instantly understood what Leng Yiwei meant.

He took a deep breath, then held his breath, he was weighing, he was thinking, how on earth did he choose?

The wind was slight, clear and cool from the bamboo forest, with a faint bamboo fragrance, although the fragrance was tangy, but there was also a bit of chilly meaning, blowing on Qiu Shiju's body, making him have a dense layer of goosebumps.

I don't know how long it has been, Leng Yiwei is still drinking a cup of Xingchun, he is not in a hurry, he is waiting slowly, waiting for Qiu Shiju to make a decision.

Finally, when he drank the third cup, he heard Qiu Shiju say clearly: "Okay." ”

The seemingly marginal sentence did not match what Leng Yiwei said just now, but Leng Yiwei's action of pouring wine stopped, the light in his peach blossom eyes flashed slightly, and there was a slight smile on his lips, like a flower blooming in early spring.

On the way back to Qiu Mansion, different from the impatient mood when he went to Qi Wangfu before, Qiu Shiju's heart was an unspeakable feeling, his fingers were shrunk in his sleeves, tightly clenched together, there was a bag of powder between his fingers, and a small black jade bottle.

He didn't have to think about it, he knew what it was, and he knew how to use these things, and he couldn't miss a word.

But here's the problem......

He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and then heard a palanquin man outside say, "My lord, it's here." ”

Qiu Shiju was silent in the sedan chair for a moment, and just when the sedan chair man thought he was asleep and was about to remind him again, he finally opened the sedan curtain and walked down.

He looked up and saw that he had returned to the mansion, and his palanquin stood at a fork in the road.

If you go to the left, you will lead to the back house, and if you go to the right, you will find your own study.

Qiu Shiju hesitated slightly, and finally got off the sedan chair, and the moment he stepped out of his legs, the idea in his heart had already been decided.

In fact, when he promised King Qi, he had already made up his mind, but he couldn't face that "vicious" self immediately, but now, he has no other choice.

He got out of the sedan chair and did not hesitate at the fork in the road, but walked directly onto the road leading to the backyard, and his ultimate goal was the courtyard where Cai Ya was.

Qiu Shiju walked extremely fast along the way, he didn't stop and hesitate one step, only the support of faith, he held the two things in his hand, his knuckles were faintly white, but he was still trying harder, harder.

From a distance, he saw the small courtyard, the place where Cai Ya lived was not particularly good, on the contrary, it was a little remote, and only in this way did he feel that it was better in this way, Cai Ya's identity ...... It's always too glorious, and it's good to stay away from those concubines and daughters in your own house, so you don't have trouble.

He walked quickly, the courtyard door was closed, and there were two mothers-in-law standing at the door, seeing them, Qiu Shiju remembered Leng Yiwei's words, and said in a low voice: "Go down." ”

"Yes." The two mothers-in-law saluted and hurriedly retreated, and Qiu Shiju slowly pushed open the courtyard door.

"Squeak" a slight sound, the courtyard door opened in response, an adult tree stood tall in the courtyard, the huge crown was like a giant umbrella, casting a large area of shade in the courtyard, at this time, the autumn breeze was blowing, and there was a feeling of coldness.

Qiu Shiju couldn't help but shudder slightly, he suddenly felt that the feng shui of this courtyard didn't seem to be very good, and when the matter was over, maybe he would ask a master to do it, or no one would live here anymore.

He made up his mind, and just wanted to call out twice, but unexpectedly, the people in the room heard the sound and poked their heads out, and then the window closed with a "snap", and Qiu Shiju was wondering, only to see a shadow flash out of the room.

Leng Yiwei asked his subordinates to send Qiu Shiju away, he sat alone in the courtyard by himself, he had stopped drinking, and he was now thinking about what Qiu Shiju said before leaving.

Regarding that Xu Mansion, he didn't pay much attention to it after the death of Xu Manhua, a scholar, in fact, he didn't pay much attention to it even when Xu Manhua was there.

Xu Manhua is an upright person, and Leng Yiwei knows that this person is not able to talk and buy at will, so he didn't think anything about him.

Later, Xu Manhua died, and there was only one son in the family, who was still studying in the academy, so he lost the interest to pay attention to it anymore.

At this time, when it was suddenly mentioned, there were only some vague impressions left in his mind, but he could not remember exactly what this person was, and what his only son was.

But his intuition told him that Qiu Shiju was very likely to have discovered something important, otherwise, there were so many people in Tianyang Academy, how could the two of them just meet, and Leng Yiwei thought from the beginning that maybe ...... The "wrong thing" that happened in Ceming Villa may be ...... Maybe there's something in it that I haven't thought of.

But...... What exactly?

He thought slowly, and the empty jade teacup silently scattered into powder at his fingertips, drifting away in the breeze without a trace.

"Come on," Ling Yiwei said without replying, "Let's see, what Cheng dù did the only son of the scholar Xu read in the books of Tianyang Academy, and when will he end his studies." ”

"Yes." Someone took the order and left.

Leng Yiwei didn't speak again, just looked at the clouds drifting in the sky in the distance, and seemed to hear the sound of bamboo incense gently passing through the tip of his nose and ears, those sounds entered his heart, and slowly calmed him down, his white and slender fingers gently knocked on the guardrail of the pavilion, and there was a crisp sound.

"Xu Zhenhan ......" Leng Yiwei said silently in his mouth, his eyes as deep as the sea, "In the end...... What secrets are you hiding? ”

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a somewhat cold smile.
