After "communicating" with the soul who may or may not have zài, Shen Ruyu patted the dust on the hem of her skirt and walked out of the house, she stood at the door and waited for a while, and soon saw Shen Ruzhuo holding a scoop of water, and the other hand was still holding a willow branch, hurriedly running to this side.

Looking at her energetic appearance, Shen Ruyu smiled and beckoned to him.

"Slow down," she whispered to him, "don't fall." ”

Shen Ruzhuo showed a bright smile to her.

But...... Dealing with death-related things, even Shen Ruyu, who should have died once in theory, felt quite unlucky.

After sending Shen Ruzhuo back to Changchun Temple, on the way back, Shen Ruyu instructed Xu Fu to go to Shanshui and lie down.

She liked the clean feeling of Shanshui Lou very much, so she was going to find Song Jin, and then take a good wash and bathe before going back.

It's just that as soon as her carriage drove into the street where Shanshuilou was located, she saw that there were suddenly many strange and suspicious people near Shanshuilou.

Those people are men and women, most of the men are sturdy, and the women are sturdy, they are all dressed in the clothes often worn by ordinary people, low-key and simple, either pretending to be merchants, or pretending to be customers of nearby shops, or disguised as passers-by, but their expressions do not match their dress, one by one reveals a sense of fierceness, all the time tense, eyes full of vigilance to patrol around, eyes as sharp as eagles, at a glance is a well-trained, not easy to mess with professional guards.

…… Although the ability to disguise is a little worse.

But maybe it's a deliberate deterrent for those who hide dangerously.

And just when Shen Ruyu began to think about whether to let Xu Fu turn around and go home, her carriage had already stopped at the door of Shanshui Building, but just as it stopped, someone immediately came out of Shanshui Building, politely but forcefully blocked the front of the carriage and said, "Please go back, today Shanshui Building is going to entertain my young master, don't open the door." ”

The honest and honest coachman was stunned for a moment, he looked at this person's posture, and then looked at the Shanshui Building with the door closed behind him, and suddenly looked at Shen Ruyu in the carriage with some confusion, and couldn't make up his mind, "Three ladies?" ”

Before Shen Ruyu could speak, a middle-aged man with fair skin and a round face suddenly rushed out of the building, panting and squeezing the person who had just spoken aside, he recognized Shen Ruyu's groom Xu Fu, and suddenly shouted out in surprise: "Ouch! It's really the third mother of the Shen family!? ”

The voice was very familiar, Shen Ruyu stretched out his hand and opened the curtain of the carriage, and then recognized at a glance that the man who looked kind was Feng Yan, the personal eunuch beside Li Cong.

And so it was......

Seeing this secret squatting around, the number of people estimated that Shanshuilou was surrounded by an impenetrable posture, there must be a noble person coming, but although Shen Ruyu guessed that it might be the emperor, he didn't expect him to really go out of the palace.

Shen Ruyu smiled at him with a subtle expression, "Feng Neishi." ”

"What a fate!" Feng Yan looked at her with a look of surprise as if her smile was purely polite, and stretched out his hand, "Isn't it?" How do you say that? There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but it is difficult to hold hands without a chance to meet! ”

Shen Ruyu suddenly helplessly grabbed his outstretched hand, stepped out of the carriage with his support, and sighed slightly, "Your Majesty...... He- he's coming? ”

Feng Yan smiled and bowed slightly at her, "The young master is upstairs." ”

Shen Ruyu went upstairs alone as a matter of course, and she had just pushed open the door that Feng Yan said, when she was hugged violently and pressed against the wall next to the door.

The kind of scorching atmosphere that belongs to men and the sense of restraint with a tough meaning, for Shen Ruyu, who is mostly restrained and reserved after crossing over, most of them are introverted and reserved, and she is a little unaccustomed to it after a long absence.

"Why did you get out of the palace!?" She asked in a surprised whisper.

"I ...... Well, something. ”

Li Cong pressed his chin on her shoulder and spoke with a smile in her ear, "I didn't expect to see you, Ayu!" ”

"But I've been wondering if I've met you somewhere since I left the palace - I just saw your carriage coming by the window, and I wondered if it was you. It turns out to be really you! ”

He couldn't help but tighten his embrace, pressed her cheek intimately, and asked with a smile: "Ayu, you say, is this fate?" ”

“…… Don't change the subject. Shen Ruyu smiled, but quickly held back, "Why did you get out of the palace?" Do you know the Terracotta Division, the Imperial History of the City Patrol, and the Internal Guards? ”

"I ......" Li Cong was originally surprised and happy because he unexpectedly met his sweetheart, but when he was suddenly asked this question, he suddenly raised his head a little sneeringly, "They don't know." ”

He seemed to think that Shen Ruyu might reproach him for disregarding his own safety and making jokes about national affairs—perhaps Feng Yan had admonished her countless times before her—so Li Cong said with some irritation: "If the law and order in the capital is really so bad, then I, the emperor, will inevitably be too much of a failure." ”

Sensing that he was a little angry, Shen Ruyu didn't have any intention of doing anything with him, she sighed lightly and laughed, "Okay, whatever His Majesty the Emperor says, it's what it is." ”

She smoothed his hair: "So, what is Your Majesty doing here?" ”

"Because, Ruyu, isn't your birthday coming soon? You've never been very fond of the treasures in the palace...... So I thought I'd take a look for myself this time. ”

I didn't expect it to be this answer, Shen Ruyu was slightly stunned.

She always felt that instigating the emperor who was just beginning to fall in love to do such an unreliable thing, except for Cui Wenjun, there was absolutely no one else.

"I heard that you like the peach blossom raft here, so I wanted to take a look...... Something you like. ”

Li Cong likes red very much, and he is also very suitable for red, so he is also wearing a red dress today. The red clothes are fierce, with his handsome and flamboyant facial features and high-spirited looks, he is heroic and sassy, and he looks so dazzling.

And when he showed a somewhat shy smile, the whole person was as exciting as a child who had not yet grown up.

But Shen Ruyu felt that this matter was not so simple, and sure enough, after saying that sentence, she heard Li Cong's next sentence, "By the way, where did Ruyu come back just now?" ”

"Huh? Changchun view, what's wrong? ”

"Ah, where is the Taoist temple where the daughter of the royal family is the female crown?" Li Cong's tone was cold, "So, I heard that not long ago, you took a teenager up the mountain and fostered him in Changchun Temple?" Is this true? ”

The tone is like that of a wife who suspects her husband of an affair, revealing a kind of "leniency in confession and strictness in resistance" from the inside out.

Really......

Shen Ruyu said in her heart.

If Shen Ruzhuo's matter was not deliberately kept secret, it would be impossible to hide it from the supreme ruler in the palace, and the internal security agencies all over the country were not dry after all.

But in fact, Shen Ruyu had no intention of hiding it.

It takes a lot of energy to hide a big living person under the nose of the internal guard, and if it is discovered in the end, it can't be explained reasonably at all - what's more, Shen Ruyu doesn't want Shen Ruzhuo to live like a mouse that can't see the light after being reborn, so she didn't deliberately hide her behavior.

- Li Cong will know sooner or later.

But if she handles it well, after this level is over, there will be nothing to stop Shen Ruzhuo from having normal contact with her.

"You mean bricks?" Shen Ruyu didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with her behavior, and childishly reached out and pinched Li Cong's soft earlobe, "-You sent someone to spy on me?" ”

"Not really!" The male emperor, who was still full of momentum just now, quickly blushed after his earlobe was kneaded by Shen Ruyu as a fun toy. He struggled to explain, "I just cared about you, that's why I knew." ”

He looked directly into Shen Ruyu's eyes with burning eyes, and pursed his lips, "I heard that you met a hunter's son at the foot of the mountain not long ago, put him in the Changchun Temple, and gave him a lot of things?" ”

"That kid is pathetic." She replied softly, but a little evasively.

Of course, Li Cong could hear it, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and was about to let go of the hand holding Shen Ruyu, but then Shen Ruyu grabbed his wrist, reversed it, and pressed against the wall.

"Does this have to be to get my attention?" Shen Ruyu looked at Li Cong with a smile, as if she didn't care about the faint anger hidden in his words, and even found it very funny and cute. "I'm sorry."

As she spoke, she reached out and gently wrapped her arms around his neck.

Li Cong thought that Shen Ruyu might explain in a panic, or leave coldly, but he didn't expect that it would be such a gentle and calm attitude.

"I'm sorry," her face pressed against his, the warmth of her skin touching seemed to soothe the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart. "I seem to be upsetting you."

Li Cong gritted his teeth and tried to make a final resistance to such demagogic gentleness, "You can only be especially good to me at times like this-" He lowered his eyes a little sadly, "I said...... I will never use the power of the emperor to force you, you don't have to worry and be afraid at all, so ...... There's no need to please me like this. ”

Shen Ruyu couldn't help laughing, "You think I'm trying to please you?" ”

"I don't know why you're hurting them, and I don't know why I'm scared and worried." Shen Ruyu looked up at him, her hand gently stroked the back of his head, and gently pressed it down, Li Cong meekly bowed her head with her strength and pressed against her forehead. "Unless you feel like they're threatening you. But who can threaten you? My Majesty? ”

This level of love words seemed to be completely beyond the scope of the emperor's acceptance, and he looked away a little flustered, and lowered his voice, "Don't ...... Don't call me that! ”

"Okay, Your Majesty," Shen Ruyu raised her eyebrows, she gently touched Li Cong's head, and let go of him, "Your Majesty, I haven't liked anyone except you." ”

She looked at him seriously, telling a lie that wasn't a lie, "So, you don't have to worry, don't be afraid." ”

"I'll be looking forward to the birthday gift you chose for me." Shen Ruyu looked at him with a smile, "Your Majesty." ”

Li Cao looked at her fixedly, and for a moment, Shen Ruyu thought that he would bow his head and kiss him, but he didn't.

He looked at her and laughed slowly, "Okay." ”
