Xin Zi smiled.

The blind shopkeeper also laughed.

"Okay."

The shopkeeper's crisp voice responded, and his voice was clear, which was extremely inconsistent with his appearance.

Xin Zi turned her head to look at Takemoto and Li Yuan and nodded, signaling them to just follow her in with confidence.

The blind shopkeeper knocked the cigarette stick in his hand against the armrest of the rattan chair, stood up and walked towards the inn.

Xin Zi hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up, and the two went in together.

Takemoto and Li Yuan were full of suspicion, and they could see Xin Zi's casual appearance in his own home, so they let down their guard and followed into the two-story building.

Everything was arranged, the sky was already white, Xin Zi slept in her room, and slept in the open for a long time, when she suddenly had a flat and spacious wooden bed to lie down comfortably, and the sleepiness came up instantly, and she almost fell asleep the moment her body touched the bed.

And at this moment, far away in the forbidden palace of Xijing City in the south, Zuo Qiyang is far from being as relaxed as Xin Zi.

He lay alone on the hard and cold stone bed in the shift room on duty in the palace, with one hand behind his head, and his eyes looked straight at the light outside the window to light up little by little.

He hadn't closed his eyes all night, and in fact he hadn't slept a single night for days.

So at this moment, although his eyes were still as bright as usual, his eye sockets were a little sunken, the bruises under his eyes were very heavy, and his face was a little gray.

"My lord," Ruipeng walked in at some point, and saw that Zuo Qiyang was looking out of the window in a daze like two days ago, and said with some worry: "It's still early, the emperor must not have gotten up yet, wait for him to wash and change clothes and have breakfast, it should be some time before you pass, you squint for a while, so as to recuperate." ”

Zuo Qi onion replied lightly in his nose, and he didn't raise his eyes to look at Ruipeng, and finally simply sat up, straightened his sleeves, lifted his saber and went out.

Ruipeng sighed in his heart when he saw this.

After a few days of losing and losing like this, his attitude towards himself has changed for a few days.

I don't know when he started to say anything to him, he was indifferent, and he ignored him, as if he was just some inconsequential person. Where is there still a little bit of me who just followed him to the Xiyoutian family and was like that when he came to the Xiyoutian family, he had a heart-to-heart relationship with him in everything?

Ruipeng was puzzled for the past two days, and couldn't think of what he had done wrong, where there was a flaw, so that he was so alienated from himself.

But his heart is uneven, he is his top boss after all, and he is a benefactor similar to his parents, no matter how cold he is to himself, Ruipeng does not dare to have the slightest disrespect and complaint on his face.

At this time, seeing that Zuo Qiyang was about to go out without making a sound, Ruipeng chased after him in a panic and said in a low voice: "Where are you going, adult?" ”

Zuo Qiyang didn't say anything to him, his face was gloomy and he walked all the way out, Ruipeng was about to persuade again, when he saw a little eunuch coming over, he saw Zuo Qiyang greeted him with a smile on his face, and said, "Lord Zuo, Your Majesty announced that you will go to the imperial study to ask." ”

Zuo Qiyang responded, with an ancient look on his face, but his heart was full of mixed tastes.

After all, it is time to wait for this moment, should I be happy and relieved, or should I be vigilant and worried?

Zuo Qiyang followed the little eunuch all the way to the imperial study, and Emperor Yan sat behind the bookcase, holding a bowl of half-drunk porridge in one hand, and hurriedly sweeping it with a piece of music in the other hand. Seeing Zuo Qiyang come in, he bowed respectfully to him and knelt down, his eyelids raised slightly, hummed, waved his hand, and then frowned again and looked at the fold in his hand, obviously looking at him aside.

Seeing this, Zuo Qiyang was not annoyed, and bowed respectfully, then stepped aside, silently waiting for the other party to speak.

Since he has endured it all these days, he naturally doesn't care about this moment and a half, the emperor wants to give him some colors to see, he accepts it, and shows it to him, not only without complaints, but also willingly.

As soon as the emperor drank a bowl of porridge, a little eunuch hurriedly came up to take the porridge bowl, handed him a wet handkerchief, cleaned his hands, and tidied up his clothes.

After some waiting, the emperor finally went straight out, and when he passed by Zuo Qiyang's side, he didn't even glance at him, just as if he didn't exist, and even left behind the fact that he had asked someone to announce his coming to the imperial study earlier.

Zuo Qiyang saw that the emperor was going out of the imperial study, and he was about to go to the early court of light, and he habitually raised his feet to follow him out - usually in the early court, as long as he was not sent out of the city, the emperor would definitely stay by his side.

But at this time, Chang Gonggong, who had been following the emperor half a step away with his head down, was so shocked that he hurriedly took a step back, raised his hand to stop Zuo Qiyang, and looked at the emperor walking away, then lowered his voice and said eagerly: "Lord Zuo, you can wait here with peace of mind, don't go outside to make trouble." To tell you the truth, Your Majesty and his old man got up before dawn today, pacing back and forth in the house for half an hour, and a few uninteresting little eunuchs went in to ask questions, and they were all scolded. You ......" Halfway through the words, he paused when he saw the emperor's footsteps moving forward, and his body trembled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he didn't dare to say more than half a word to Zuo Qiyang, so he bowed and followed the emperor out.

Zuo Qiyang had to stand on the edge of the bookcase near the window of the imperial study, his body straight, quietly waiting for Emperor Yan to come back to take care of himself after the morning of the dynasty.

But I didn't expect that Emperor Yan really wanted to leave Zuo Qiyang aside, and he didn't go to the imperial study in the early morning, nor did he go to talk to Zuo Qiyang, and went directly to the Empress Dowager and Empress Yan of the Sacred Heart Temple, where they had lunch, and the three of them talked and laughed for a long time. The Empress Dowager only thought that her grandson had encountered something happy in the early court today, so she was interested in honoring her imperial grandmother, and did not refute his face, so she simply chatted with him from all over the world, and even ordered the current court's capable ministers one by one, only to wait until dinner was over and the sky was dark, and then lazily came out of the Sacred Heart Temple.

"Your Majesty, but you want to go to the imperial study to sit?"

Gonggong Chang cautiously approached Emperor Yan's side and reminded him. The emperor didn't answer, he glanced at him obliquely, his eyes were full of "When will it be your turn to be the master of my affairs", Chang Gonggong was shocked, and he panicked and apologized, "The slave should die".

Emperor Yan straightened his cuffs, thought for a moment, raised his hand and said, "Let's go and see how Xi Ye's homework is doing." ”

Chang Gonggong's heart sank, but his face smiled even brighter, and he hunched his back and followed the emperor to the crown prince. (To be continued.) )
