The raindrops became heavier and denser, and smashed on the back of the prunella's neck, and she suddenly felt cold, but she didn't dare to raise her head, for fear of being ugly, the man had just seen it.

Ji Zigong didn't expect it, but he didn't see it clearly, but the basic situation was already understood, guessed a rough idea, he covered his mouth, and said in a deep voice:

"I believe in you, the rainstorm is coming soon, you follow me into the house to hide from the rain, and leave quickly when the rain stops!"

After saying that, Ji Zigong took a long step forward, and Xia Kucao listened to the voice as if he was really gone, and then he raised his head, and the rain crackled like a broken pearl string, and his vision was a little blurred.

It turned out that there was a lotus pond in the courtyard, there was a pavilion on the side of the lotus pond, and there was a lamp in the pavilion, and there was a tea and a book under the lamp.

Ji Zigong was walking towards the pavilion with Xia Kucao, Xia Kucao looked at Ji Zigong's back, and his heart was very warm, this should be a gentle and good person!

"Tell me, I'm looking for the prince!" A woman's elegant voice came from the gate, and the guard at the door hurried in after answering, and saw the woman next to Ji Zigong, stunned for a moment.

"I'm not seeing a guest at such a late hour, let her go back, and I'll talk about something tomorrow!" Ji Zigong looked at the guard and said coldly.

The guard was a little embarrassed and explained: "But that's the palace master of the Wu clan." ”

"How about the palace master, if I don't see it, I won't see it!" Ji Zigong's tone became stern.

Xia Kucao was frightened, the prince, the palace master, God, it turned out that the man in front of him was the son of the Emperor of Southern Chu, but at this time, another palace master popped up, and it was still a woman who had an indissoluble relationship with her.

The person at the door was not willing to wait, and the maid beside her scolded: "Be bold ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a pleasant voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, seeing that the rainstorm is coming, Zizhu passed by here when he just inspected, I am afraid that His Royal Highness is not used to it for the first time, so I came in to disturb, Zizhu is particularly afraid of thunder and rain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also hopes to forgive me, take Zizhu in for a while, and leave when the rain stops." ”

Speaking of this, there was no need for the guards to stop her, Ji Zigong waved his hand to signal for release, and Xia Kucao saw that it was not good, so it was a trouble for the palace master to recognize her.

Visiting late at night, it can be seen that if the palace master misunderstands her and this prince, she will have no place in the Wu clan in the future.

Thinking of this, Xia Kucao plucked up her courage, picked up a small piece of bamboo on the ground, and rushed into the lotus pond next to the pavilion before Xia Zizhu came in.

Poof, he didn't enter the water, and the lotus leaf only moved slightly, which scared Ji Zigong, and before he had time to think about it, he saw a small flower umbrella appear in the rain, and the umbrella was reflected in the picture of Siyu.

The umbrella is supported by a little maid, and the people under the umbrella are slim, with long hair and shawls, and long white skirts in the rain, like scattered lotus flowers.

Ji Zigong made a gesture of invitation, took the lead in sitting down and said, "I don't know if the palace master came to visit late at night, and I only prepared a cup of tea here, Ah Fu?"

Ji Zi raised her hand and was about to beckon Xiao Si over, Xia Zizhu sat down with a smile and said: "That's not necessary, it's raining, I'm not thirsty, I'm sorry to disturb the prince, but you are the only place to shelter from the rain." ”

Ji Zigong smiled: "It's okay, I just admire the palace master and personally patrol the defense." ”

"Your safety is related to the life and death of everyone in the Wu clan, you can't be sloppy, although I am an alchemist, but I have learned martial arts from my master since I was a child, and I have also achieved a little success.

The prince Mo smiled, I can still deal with ordinary thieves, so my father is also very relieved. ”

"Oh? I can't imagine that the palace master looks weak, but he also has a martial arts, which is admirable, so you just said that you have something important to discuss with me, I don't know why?"

Ji Zigong looked at the lotus pond with a little worry in his heart after asking, why did the woman suddenly jump into the water just now? It shouldn't be looking for death, but he saw the ventilated bamboo in her hand again.

My heart is getting more and more entangled, inexplicably worried, damn it, why is there no movement in the lotus pond, even if it bubbles, it won't really die, it's really urgent!

This damn woman, if she jumps into the river in front of him and kills herself, he must have ordered someone to dig up her ancestral grave, let her corpse be in the wilderness, and dare to pollute his eyes?

The summer withered grass held her breath for so long that she was almost suffocating, and she felt a strong sense of helplessness, and she couldn't hear what they were saying, let alone see their people.

She grabbed a lotus leaf pole and hid it under the lotus leaf, so that her nostrils and mouth were exposed to the water, but fortunately, the night was hazy, and the rain was loud, covering the water waves and sound.

Like a dying man, Prunella took a big breath of fresh air, and when he was relieved, he secretly looked into the pavilion.

Although she offended the palace master on the street last time, she hadn't seen the palace master's real appearance, and the whip was also wronged.

I still have to see the appearance of the palace master clearly, and I will take a detour when I see it in the future, but how does this figure look like I have seen it somewhere?

Xia Kucao frowned and took a closer look, remembering that the last time she and Bi Chen crawled in from the dog cave to peek, the first alchemist they saw was her.

It turned out that there was a hurried glimpse that day, but it was not a good fate, she was the palace master and couldn't afford to provoke her.

Prunella took the bamboo into her mouth and quietly pricked it down, this water should be connected to the outside, will there be a bridge hole? Can you drill out of the bridge hole?

The truth is very disappointing, the lotus stem is too dense, and she can't swim in the block.

Ji Zigong asked Xia Zizhu, but his eyes always glanced at the lotus pond, and he smiled slightly.

This smile caught Xia Zizhu off guard, and his smile illuminated Xia Zizhu's heart like a morning glow.

Father said that Ji Zigong's ascension to the throne is nine out of ten, and the current emperor sings every night, but only gives birth to ten princes, half of whom are minors.

There are only three princes who can compete with Ji Zigong for the throne, and the three princes are born to Concubine Shu, and Ji Zigong is the queen's concubine.

My father heard from the ministers of the court that Ji Zigong was the best among the princes, both in terms of appearance and talent.

When I saw it today, it was really worthy of the name, it was him, Xia Zizhu came back to his senses for a long time, and said with an embarrassed smile: "There is nothing important, I just want to ask, is there anything the prince is not used to, I will let people start arranging, the prince first came to my Wu clan, if there is any neglect, it is the fault of my Wu clan." ”

"No, no, it's okay, you see that the rain is light at the moment, and the night is deep, this prince will get up early tomorrow, and there are many etiquettes to learn, so I won't keep you." Ji Zigong stood up and said.

There is a posture of sending off guests, he is worried, how can he sit in peace?

Xia Zizhu saw Ji Zigong get up, so she had to stand up and reluctantly say goodbye to Ji Zigong.

When she went out, the little maid whispered: "Didn't the palace master intend to stay overnight, why didn't he act according to the plan?"

"Bold slave, what plan do I have, don't let my father know about this matter, as long as tomorrow, I will become the holy daughter of the witch clan, and I am afraid that there is no way for the prince to marry me?

There have always been cases of the new emperor choosing a saint to enter the palace, he must be the future emperor, and I am the concubine!" Xia Zizhu said confidently.

The little maid immediately slapped herself and said: "Yes, the slave said the wrong thing, the master has prepared a drop of water for the young lady, and tomorrow you will definitely be embraced as a saint under the watchful eye of everyone." ”
