Chapter 231: The Precursor (Part II)

The afternoon sun is mixed with a hint of warm breeze, as if even the wind is mixed with a sweet fragrance, which makes people feel lazy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After lunch, Lian Youwu was bored and wanted to walk around to pass the time. But somehow I suddenly remembered the apricot blossom tree that night, the flute of that night, and the unexpected encounter that night, and even the footsteps seemed to be uncontrollable and involuntarily walked in a certain direction, and there was a bit of expectation and a bit of fear in my heart.

I was holding the mentality of trying it out, but I didn't expect that in the rain of flowers raised by the wind, that familiar and unfamiliar figure would really appear in front of her so really. The figure of the proton cocoon standing alone under the apricot blossom tree is like a recluse person, without desire, without words, so calm and condensed.

Slowly he turned his head to look at Youwu, hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled like a fairy with a bewitching meaning, making people feel so confused and uncertain, Youwu stabilized her mind, and asked for peace: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince is safe." ”

Proton said softly, "Do you and I still need to stick to these red tapes?" Last time, thanks to Miss Lian's help, my name is Li Zhaoyan, and Miss Lian can call me Zhaoyan. ”

Youwu lowered her blushing face, but her tone was calm. "The slave didn't dare. There is a difference between master and servant, and slave and maid must not cross the line. ”

"If you are willing to help me escape, it proves that we are friends, why not call each other by name? What's more, my 'master' is just an empty name. Li Zhaoyan laughed to himself.

Li Zhaoyan's smile stung Youwan's eyes, and comforted: "Why should Your Highness be arrogant, although Your Highness is now subservient to others, it may not be that one day, Your Highness will be able to return to Yiguo and return to your relatives." ”

Li Zhaoyan looked at Youwan's fresh face noncommittally, and hid the surprise in his expression very well.

Close relatives? Hehe......... He has no relatives for a long time. Since the day he came to this country, he knew that he had no relatives in this world, nothing to rely on.

"Why are you helping me? You know my identity, why do you want to offend the high-ranking and powerful concubine for me? Li Zhaoyan asked curiously, his tone remaining as gentle as ever.

Yu Wan laughed at it. "Your Highness seems to be very fond of asking why. In the eyes of His Highness, does everything people do, say every word, and help everyone for a reason? ”

"Yes! I grew up in this cold and unforgiving place, and there were never good things and good people in the palace for no reason. Although Li Zhaoyan had a smile on his eyebrows, he could feel the coldness in his words.

For some reason, hearing his ruthless answer, Lian Youwu actually felt that thousands of tiny needle tips instantly crossed her chest, and the pain was faint and sharp.

Maybe it's because he is too similar to his experience of losing his parents since he was a child, or maybe it's because the trickery in the palace is too cruel for a child who has nothing to do. Suddenly, Yu Wan wanted to know what he had suffered in this palace, and wanted to heal her past pain.

Seeing that the other party raised his crooked willow eyebrows, his expression was full of regret, Li Zhaoyan was quite surprised, this was an expression he hadn't seen for a long time, it was a distressed expression, a person who had only known each other for a short time would feel sorry for him? In this world, except for the mother concubine, there will be people who feel sorry for him!?

No, he didn't believe it.

The mood returned to the same cold and calm as ever.

"By the way, you made that hairpin, right?" Li Zhaoyan's topic changed instantly.

The sudden inquiry caught You Wu a little off guard, "Why did Your Highness say this?" ”

"It's just a guess. But judging by the way you look, it looks like I'm right. Li Zhaoyan lowered his head and smiled, the light of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and slowly explained: "Zhenjifang has always only used some flashy and vulgar things, how could he think of using elegant and transparent jade to seal the title of the word 'Shu' of the concubine." In addition, you deliberately sent the hairpin over for the concubine, and why should a palace maid in the imperial dining room be responsible for the errand of the treasure room. All kinds of strange things are strung together, and it is not difficult to guess. ”

"But what I can see, others can see too. If you offend Concubine Shu for me, she must hold a grudge, so you have to be careful in the future! After speaking, Li Zhaoyan politely turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly thought of something, turned his head and warned seriously: "Lian Youwu, you are very smart, but in this palace, being too smart will lead to death." ”

Li Zhaoyan's voice was soft and delicate, but every word was like a heavy blunt hammer, leaving a muffled sound in Lian Youwan's heart.

"Your Highness Xie mentions, the slave and maid will definitely remember." You Wan looked at Li Zhaoyan's cold back and said softly: "Your Highness should still have hope even in adversity, and believe that the bitterness will come willingly." ”

I saw Li Zhaoyan's figure for a moment, and finally Yaya resolutely left the sight of the ghost.

-------------------------------------------------

The bustling streets are full of people during the day, and this is one of the most lively streets in the capital of Qi State, with large and small vendors and hurried passers-by all over the street.

Yuzhi went out of the palace to buy as usual, she has been back and forth on this street no less than a hundred times, and she has treasured the shops and merchants on the street.

Walking into a fabric shop, the shopkeeper was bowing his head to concentrate on settling accounts, and when he heard a customer walking in, he didn't look up, but just lowered his head and said casually, "The small shop sells all kinds of fine silk fabrics, and the guest officer please choose at will." ”

Yuzhi didn't respond, and coughed slightly.

The shopkeeper raised his eyes and glanced at it, immediately put down the account book and pen in his hand, and said with a respectful smile: "Yo! It turned out to be Aunt Yuzhi, but you haven't been here for a few days. ”

Yuzhi smiled slightly, "Things have been complicated recently, so I haven't been out of the palace to buy some items for a long time." I don't see that this day is getting hotter, and I want to prepare some elegant and light fabrics in advance. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Our store has recently bought some fine Jiangnan silk, the fabric is fine and the color is plain, and the small one takes your aunt to take a look. "Seeing that there is a big business coming to the door, the shopkeeper naturally can't help but be overjoyed.

The shopkeeper walked towards the store with Yuzhi, and after lifting the bead curtains, hundreds of exquisite fabrics of different colors were piled up on the shelves of the store.

But Yuzhi didn't seem to care about the many gorgeous fabrics, and after glancing around, she said lightly: "Are people here?" ”

"I've been waiting for a long time." The shopkeeper changed his previous flattering posture and spoke in a calm and calm tone.

"Well, you go and wait at the door, and notify us immediately if anything is unusual."

"Yes." The shopkeeper turned to leave, and only Yuzhi was left in the whole room, except for the mountains of gorgeous brocades.

Yuzhi looked around and slowly walked to a row of cloths, expertly groping under the leftmost position of the second row.

Listening to the "click", the shelves that were originally neatly arranged began to move in an instant, and there was a gap in the corner. As the shelves moved, the gap grew larger and larger, revealing a door at the end.

Yuzhi stepped into the door without hesitation, and the shelves behind her slowly began to move again, and finally returned to their original state. (To be continued.) )
