"Someone, it's out of the water!" Someone shouted loudly outside, and someone knocked on the door, it was Ma Hui who came in, he walked quickly to Huangfu Jingwen's side and said: "Your Majesty, the warm pavilion in the side hall of the imperial study is on fire, the eunuchs have gone to fight the fire, it's too chaotic here, you better go back and rest first." ”

Huangfu Jingwen seemed to be still immersed in sadness, and he didn't hear Ma Hui's words at all, and Ma Hui said again: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body." ”

After a long while, Huangfu Jingwen put down the curtain in his hand, turned around and said, "Go back to the Minxun Palace." ”

"That's where Concubine Li-"

"You send someone to inform her, and I will tell her to rest."

"Yes."

Ma Hui left behind Huangfu Jingwen, and the moment he closed the door, he glanced at the room with some confusion, and closed the door again.

It was dark again. "Squeak," the door opened again, "Senior brother—" Someone spoke, it was Xiao'er.

Ning Yanchen came out from behind the curtain and said, "How do you know I'm here?" ”

"If you don't let me follow, I have to figure it out by myself." Xiao'er said with a grin.

"Nonsense! How dangerous is it, do you think I'm here to play? Ning Yanchen got angry and straightened his face.

"Hmph, if I hadn't set fire to everyone and led everyone away, you would have been in trouble for a while if you wanted to get out." Xiao'er pursed her lips.

"Okay, this is not the place to talk, come with me." Ning Yanchen said in a low voice, everyone was led away at this moment, no one would notice here, Xiao'er really did a good job.

"Huh?" Originally, Xiao'er had already left behind Ning Yanchen, and when she suddenly turned her head, she saw a painting hanging on the wall behind the dragon chair. The painting was blocked by the gauze curtain and could not be seen clearly, and it seemed to be somewhat familiar, Xiao'er turned around and wanted to step forward. was pulled out by Ning Yanchen in a hurry.

The two of them went out of the imperial study and did not go to the palace gate, Ning Yanchen took Xiao'er to the library in the palace.

"Senior brother, what are we doing here?" Xiao'er asked curiously.

"Don't ask anything, just follow me." Ning Yanchen walked to the side of the last row of bookshelves, he turned a round box on the bookshelf, and the bookshelves automatically separated to the sides. Ning Yanchen pushed, and the wall actually moved, opening a door.

"Come in." Ning Yanchen took Xiao'er into the door. The bookshelf automatically returned to its original state.

This is a secret passage, there is a faint fire light in it, Xiao'er followed Ning Yanchen all the way, and when she finally came out, she found that she was in a wooden house. Outside the wooden house is the woods. There are also horses that are ready.

"Let's go back to the villa first." Ning Yanchen stepped on the horse. There was only one, and he stretched out his hand and invited Xiao'er to get on the horse.

The first time she rode with Ning Yanchen, Xiao'er was both shy and happy, completely forgetting the doubts in her heart. In about half an hour, they returned to the villa, and Ning Yanchen immediately returned to the study, leaving only one sentence: "It's almost dawn." Rest early. ”

Xiao'er only woke up after returning to the room, how could she rest? She still has a lot of questions that she hasn't asked. But the appearance of the senior brother just now is obviously that there is still something to do. She thought about it, it would be better to talk about it tomorrow. But lying on the bed and tossing and turning, Xiao'er couldn't sleep, why did the senior brother go to the palace, and what was going on with the secret passage, even the painting behind the dragon chair made her curious, who was on it?

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the day to dawn, Xiao'er got up, she really couldn't wait, so she went straight to Ning Yanchen's study, and sure enough, Ning Yanchen didn't sleep all night. A few people came out of it, and Xiao'er stood at the door, but she was a little hesitant.

"It's all here, why don't you come in?" Ning Yanchen in the study asked. It is estimated that in the past few hours, this girl can be suffocated. There are some things that I really have to reveal to her.

Xiao'er walked in slowly, she looked up at Ning Yanchen, and said, "Senior brother, you haven't slept all night, do you want to take a rest, I'll let someone prepare some food." ”

"No need, if there's anything you want to ask, just say it." This girl still pretended to talk about him left and right, Ning Yanchen shook his head and smiled.

"What were you doing at the palace last night?" Xiao'er finally got straight to the point.

"Go get something."

"Didn't you steal?" Xiao'er pierced Ning Yanchen's face.

"It's all the same, it doesn't matter." Ning Yanchen's face was a little unable to get off the stage, he was also a beautiful son, but he became a son of Liang in front of the little junior sister, and it really damaged his reputation if he spread it.

"You stole it, no, what did you take? It's still in the Imperial Study. ”

"It's just a gadget, instead of putting it in the imperial study, it should be given to those in need." You can't say anything about the talisman.

"Who is Senior Brother doing things for?" Xiao'er is a smart girl, although she is giggling, her insight and observation are not weak at all.

"Yes." Ning Yanchen didn't hide it either.

"It's the Wise King!" Xiao'er reacted, Ning Yanchen's business in the border pass is very large, but it is very small in the capital, this is obviously to hide people's eyes, and who is in the border pass, this is not clear at a glance.

"Not bad."

"No wonder you know I'm in Tata, he told you."

"Exactly."

"Why are you helping King Rui?"

"I'm not his subordinate, we're friends."

"There are not many friends who can be favored by the senior brother, and this Rui Wang must have been a hero at that time."

"He's really powerful." Ning Yanchen praised.

"No wonder last time in the Tianshan Mountains, Helian City invited you to go to the Xiongnu, but you refused."

"If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different, and it is impossible for me to do things for the Huns. Besides, Jing Yao didn't force me, I did it voluntarily. ”

"Senior brother, I always thought you were some kind of informal person."

"This is a principle, I can't compromise, besides" Ning Yanchen didn't continue, his identity did not allow him to defect to the Xiongnu. Thinking of this, Ning Yanchen instructed Xiao'er: "If you go back to Tata, don't reveal my affairs to Helian City, I don't want you to be embarrassed." ”

"I understand that I am only accompanying Sister Yan'er in the Xiongnu, and the affairs of Da Zhou and the Xiongnu have nothing to do with me, and I will not pay much attention to it. As for the matter between you and the Great Khan, you have settled it yourself, and I will not be on anyone's side. "If Xiao'er doesn't tell the truth to Helian City, she is actually helping Ning Yanchen.

"The thing that Senior Brother took this time is for King Rui?"

"It's for him, and it's for someone else." With this thing, the people of the world can avoid a bloody war, not so much that this thing was taken for Huangfu Jingyao, but for the people of the world.

"Senior brother, why are you so familiar with the secret passage in the palace?" Xiao'er suddenly thought of the secret passage in the library pavilion.

"Don't ask too much about this, I won't talk about it now."

"Okay, senior brother is very capable, I just don't ask anymore."

"The little junior sister has really grown up, and even the senior brother has to be impressed by you."

"So, don't fool me in the future, I'm not so easy to deceive." Xiao'er said a little proudly.

"Xiao'er, go back to Tianshan Mountain early, there are parents and elders who love you, and this is where you really should stay." Ning Yanchen sighed and said. He didn't want Xiao'er to get involved, and finally got torn between that sister and him.

Xiao'er didn't answer, just looked at Ning Yanchen and turned to leave. (To be continued......)
