Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the evening court where Cao Guiren lived, the face of the county lord of Zhu'er became more and more ugly.

The accompanying palace maids hung their heads and trembled. She had just listened to those words with the county lord of Zhu'er, and knew that she knew something terrible, and she was terrified in her heart, because whether this matter was true or not, as long as the county lord of Zhu'er was unhappy, she could take her life at any time!

Now I can only pray that His Royal Highness the Great Prince is not in the evening court, so that the lord of Zhu'er may not care about Fang Cai's affairs when he is happy.

In the distance, you can already see the eaves of the evening pavilion.

There are not many concubines in the palace who can live alone in a dormitory, except for the queen's mother, only Li Guifei and Ning Shufei have this grace.

A year ago, the evening court was full of people, almost more lively than the queen's Kunning Palace.

But today's Wan Tingxuan is no longer the Wan Tingxuan at that time, because the current Cao Wan is no longer the Cao nobleman who was favored by the emperor at the beginning. In the past year, few people have set foot here, and even if anyone comes to see her, it is mostly mocking and ridiculing.

Only then did Xiao Wan gradually understand that the so-called sisterhood in the queen/palace was just to see the emperor's affection.

Fortunately, God treated her favorably and let her meet Yan Ming, the only man in the world who treats her sincerely.

Xiao Wan leaned on her sweetheart's arms, listening to his soft words of comfort, and her panicked mood finally calmed down.

The county lord of Zhu'er looked at the plaque of "Evening Tingxuan" above his head and sneered.

It is said that Cao Guiren, who was born in Jiangnan, is the most gentle and gentle beauty in this palace, and she was born with a pair of amorous eyes that want to say goodbye, she wants to see with her own eyes whether this Cao Guiren is really so beautiful that she can hook the heart of her eldest cousin.

She raised her feet and was about to enter the door, but two little eunuchs turned out from behind the door, hunched over and respectful, but spoke in a very resolute tone. Said: "The evening court is important, and I also ask the county lord to stay." ”

The county lord of Zhu'er raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Blind your dog's eyes, you dare to stop the county lord." ”

The two little eunuchs glanced at each other and hurriedly knelt on the ground with their sleeves folded. said: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Lord Zhu'er snorted coldly, kicked on the shoulder of a little eunuch in front of him, kicked the person to the ground, and she crossed over without looking.

The little eunuch who had been kicked didn't dare to cry out in pain, let alone let her go. She only got up neatly, knelt down a few steps and crouched in front of Lord Zhu'er, blocking her way.

Another little eunuch also knelt down a few steps and followed.

The two of them kowtowed together and said, "The county lord is angry, the servants have been ordered not to let anyone go, and they ask the county lord to forgive their sins." ”

The county lord of Zhu'er laughed coldly: "Order? Whose order is it? Could it be the order of His Royal Highness the Grand Prince? ”

The faces of the two eunuchs changed suddenly, and they only trembled their lips and did not dare to answer.

Lord Zhu'er's face immediately changed, "So, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is really here?" ”

The two eunuchs hurriedly shook their heads and said in unison, "His Royal Highness the Prince is not here. "His Royal Highness the Great Prince is not inside."

They feared that the lord of Zhu'er would not believe him. After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.

Lord Zhu'er didn't have the patience to listen to the two of them anymore, so he only scolded sharply: "Get out!" ”

She scolded and raised her foot to stomp on them.

Compared with the scolding at this time, the two little eunuchs were more afraid of the punishment of His Royal Highness the Great Prince in the future, so they only gritted their teeth and endured it.

The palace maid beside Lord Zhu'er was a little unbearable, and hurriedly persuaded: "You two better get out of the way quickly!" Why suffer from this flesh and skin? ”

It's better to suffer from flesh than to lose your head, right? The two little eunuchs didn't hide, they just kowtowed.

But some people can't see it.

"County Lord, they are the palace people of Evening Tingxuan, even if there is anything that does not fulfill their duties, it shouldn't be the county lord who will punish them, right?" A female voice said coldly.

Who would dare to talk to her like that? Anger erupted in the eyes of the county lord of Zhu'er, and he looked up at the person who came.

Yes. Except for Ye Xunhuan in this palace, who else dares to talk to her like this?

"You're here, that big cousin must be here too!" Lord Zhu'er gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to save these two ****s, ask your eldest cousin to come out and talk to me!" ”

Ye Xunhuan is not afraid of her. Wen Yan only glanced at her lightly, and seemed a little strange: "Why am I here, His Royal Highness the Great Prince must also be here?" He is not my attendant, so why should he follow me every step of the way? ”

"Presumptuous!" Lord Zhu'er said angrily: "You dare to speak wildly! ”

Ye Xunhuan said lightly: "Don't dare, the humble position is just a matter of facts, and I can't afford the arrogance in the county lord's mouth." ”

She is a lowly officer. is reminding the county lord of Zhu'er that in addition to being the attendant of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, she has another identity, that is, the head catcher of the six doors of Linglu. If she is on official business, then even the Lord of Zhu'er cannot interfere with her, let alone embarrass her.

Lord Zhu'er knew the subtext of her words, so he only sneered: "Okay." Then the county lord wants to ask, Lord Ye, why are you here. ”

Ye Xunhuan arched his hand and said expressionlessly: "It was because Wanting Xuan was attacked at night a few days ago, and he was ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

The county lord of Zhu'er hadn't heard anything about anything in the palace in the past few days, and his first reaction was that this was the other party's excuse, but seeing that Ye Xunhuan's expression was stern, it didn't look like he was lying, so he didn't know whether to believe what she said, so he only asked: "Why hasn't this county lord heard of such a thing?" ”

Ye Xunhuan said: "The case is bad, and it is not appropriate to make a public announcement, so I also ask the county lord to forgive me for not saying more." ”

Could it be that something really happened in the evening court? The county lord of Zhu'er decided to send someone to investigate after he returned.

Without waiting for her to speak again, Ye Xunhuan had already opened his mouth and asked her to leave.

"The county is mainly nothing, it's better not to stay for a long time, so as not to have any accidents and hurt Jin Gui's body."

But how could the lord of Zhu'er be sent away lightly? She rolled her eyes and laughed softly: "This county lord was originally fine, but after hearing Lord Ye's words, this county lord felt that I still had to go to see Cao Guicai." Something happened to Wan Tingxuan, Cao Guiren must have been quite frightened, so the county lord went in to talk to her. ”

After she finished speaking, she walked around the two eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground and walked inside.

The two eunuchs hurriedly shouted, "Lord Ye! ”

They put their last hope on Ye Xunhuan. I hope she can stop this unruly county lord.

The county lord of Zhu'er paused, turned his head to look at Ye Xunhuan, and sneered: "What? The main thing in this county is to visit Cao Guiren to get close to his cousin, isn't Lord Ye allowed this? ”

Ye Xunhuan frowned almost imperceptibly. He arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to be humble, the county lord will please." ”

The county lord of Zhu'er snorted coldly, turned around and strode towards Cao Guiren's bedroom.

Cao Guiren seemed to have just gotten up from a nap, his eyes were misty, and his cheeks were red. I was very surprised to see the county lord of Zhu'er who broke straight in.

"The county lord? How did you get here? She hurriedly beckoned the palace maid and served tea to the lord of Zhu'er.

Since the lord of Zhu'er entered the house, a pair of eyes have been constantly looking at all corners of the house, and she is a little surprised that she does not see the person she thinks.

Cao Guiren had stepped forward and pulled her to sit on the chair affectionately, and asked gently: "The county lord came here today, is there anything wrong?" ”

When the county lord of Zhu'er heard this gentle and gentle voice, he came back to his senses, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and looked at the person in front of him carefully,

Sure enough, she is a beauty, soft and weak. Pitiful.

She shook her hand secretly, but smiled slightly: "Cao Gui's life is really beautiful." ”

Cao Guiren didn't seem to expect her to say this, so she couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with a red face: "The county lord said that he laughed, Cao Wan is just a yellow flower of tomorrow now, how can she compare to the county lord in his prime?" ”

Her praise is sincere, and the lord of Zhu'er is indeed a peugeot beauty.

Lord Zhu'er couldn't help but smile proudly when he heard this, but beauties have always been hostile to beauties.

The county lord of Zhu'er frowned, and pretended to be worried: "The county lord of this county passed by here, and I heard Lord Ye say that there was an accident in the evening court a few days ago. I can't help but worry about you, noble Cao, so I came to see you. ”

Cao Guiren's expression darkened, and there was a touch of sorrow between his eyebrows, and he only smiled reluctantly: "Thank you for your heart." ”

Zhu'er County subjected her to her look. It can probably be determined that something happened to Tingxuan this night.

She then knocked on the side and said: "It's good that Cao Guiren is safe and sound, but this county lord is still a little strange, what kind of case is this?" Why did you still dispatch Lord Ye? “

Cao Guiren sighed faintly and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the evening court was stolen a few days ago, and I took stock of it later." What was lost was not a big thing, but somehow, this matter reached the ears of Lord Ye, who was the most jealous and hateful, so he came to me at that time, saying that since there were bold thieves who entered the palace to steal, she must not sit idly by, so she personally ambushed in my palace for the past few days, waiting for the rabbit, so that when the thief appeared again, he would be captured in one fell swoop. ”

That's it? Can Ye Xunhuan be consumed here? Lord Zhu'er felt that it was a bit of a fuss, and she always felt that this matter was a little strange in her heart. But what's the oddity? Obviously, Cao Guiren's remarks are impeccable.

Oh yes, it's because it's flawless that it doesn't find a flaw that makes people feel weird, as if they had memorized it beforehand.

Do you want her to leave as soon as she hears these words? Miss Zhu'er narrowed her eyes, hum, the county lord won't let you get your wish! But if the eldest cousin is here at this time, where will he hide?

Her gaze fell on the large cabinet beside her.

Could it be that the dignified prince would deign to hide in the closet? Lord Zhu'er felt that this was impossible, so he didn't have the idea of checking the wardrobe.

But at this moment, a small pebble suddenly flew in from the window, and hit the wardrobe.

Cao Guiren's face changed suddenly.

Seeing this, Lord Zhu'er couldn't help but be furious, stood up quickly, and walked quickly to the wardrobe.

"County Lord!" Cao Guiren hurriedly got up, blocked in front of her, took her hand, and almost begged: "Thank you for coming to see Cao Wan today, but it's getting late, please go back." ”

The more she made a pitiful appearance, the more angry the county lord of Zhu'er became, only sneered, pushed her away and said: "The county lord feels that there seems to be someone hiding in this closet, for the sake of your safety Cao Guiren, this county lord is willing to risk his life and explore the truth for Cao Guiren." ”

Cao Gui's body was already thin, and when she pushed him, he immediately fell on the table, looking at the lord of Zhu'er who strode towards the wardrobe with a calm face, her face was like white paper, and her body trembled slightly.

Lord Zhu'er sneered and stood in front of the wardrobe, and suddenly reached out to pull the door of the wardrobe open.

She was stunned.

The rough-looking man hiding in the closet saw that he was discovered, and he only punched the Lord of Zhu'er in the stomach with a hard punch, only knocking the delicate body of the Lord of Zhu'er away, and then jumped out of the closet and slammed into the window.

The county lord of Zhu'er hunched over, covering his stomach with both hands, and was dripping in cold sweat.

It's really a murderer! She actually made a shield for the damn Xiao Wan!

Cao Guiren, who was already frightened, hurriedly rushed forward to help her up, and said with a worried face: "County Lord, are you okay?" I'm really sorry to get you hurt, and Cao Wan didn't expect that person to really hide in the closet! ”

The county lord of Zhu'er gritted his teeth and reluctantly replied, "This county lord is not in the way. ”

Cao Guiren breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, Cao Wan also has to thank the county lord for his rescue, if it weren't for the county lord's danger today, then Cao Wan must be more than lucky." ”

Oh, yes! Lord Zhu'er almost crushed her back molars, so why on earth did she come here? Why be eventful? If she didn't come, she would have just let that person kill Cao Wan just now!

But at this time, she could only say with a happy face: "Cao Guiren is fine, the county lord is very relieved in his heart, and the next thing is to see if Lord Ye can catch the murderer." ”

"yes!" Cao Guiren nodded, the gloom on his face did not decrease, "I'm afraid that Lord Ye is not the opponent of the murderer!" ”

It would be best if Ye Xunhuan could catch that murderer, if not, don't blame her for being incompetent in front of the emperor! Because the county lord of Zhu'er was punched, he was angry at this time, and he thought of Ye Xunhuan's disrespect to her, so he threw all his anger on Ye Xunhuan at this time.

"What are you doing?" An indifferent voice came from outside the door.

Lord Zhu'er's heart moved, and he turned his head suddenly.

"Big cousin!" She cried out, and then burst into tears, "Do you know how much I have suffered today! ”

Yan Ming frowned and said, "What happened?" Why are you here? ”

The county lord of Zhu'er originally believed the conversation of the palace people and suspected that Yan Ming and Cao Wan were having an affair, so she wanted to come and see what was going on, but who knew that after she came, she found that things were not what she thought it was.

"I heard that Cao Guiren was robbed here a few days ago, so I want to come and see her."

Yan Ming bowed slightly: "You have a heart." ”

Lord Zhu'er rolled his eyes and said, "Big cousin, why are you here too?" ”

Yan Ming said lightly: "I heard that Xunhuan was working on a case recently, so I wanted to see how it went." ”

I see. The county lord of Zhu'er no longer doubted it now, and only nodded and said, "I just saw him escape from there!" I don't know if Lord Ye has found out, and if he can catch him? ”

As she spoke, she flattened her mouth again, rubbed her stomach and said pitifully: "Big cousin, I just took a punch from that person in order to protect Cao Guiren, you have to get it back for me." ”

Yan Ming glanced up at Cao Guiren, met her watery eyes, nodded slightly, and replied coldly to Lord Zhu'er: "I know." ”
