After all, Linglong is the emperor's daughter, the proud daughter of Xiao Guo, and her own baby daughter, even if she can't be the right person, then she has to marry someone with a solid family, and she can't let Long'er follow him to drink the northwest wind.

"Ah, this." Ye Zitong listened to Queen Zhuang's question, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and secretly complained in his heart.

"Back to Mother," but Princess Linglong grinned: "His name is Situ Yue, and Mr. Situ is his grandfather." ”

"Oh." Empress Zhuang nodded slightly, and her face finally got a little better. Although Mr. Situ has a somewhat strange temper, after all, he is the national teacher of Xiao State, and he once saved the emperor's life. The emperor has always respected Situ Guoshi, and it is reasonable to recruit his children and grandchildren as concubines, and he invisibly believed in Princess Linglong's words.

"It turns out that Mr. Situ also has an heir, but the emperor didn't tell me before." Empress Zhuang muttered: "Situ Yue, this name is a little strange, it seems to be more like the name of the girl's family. ”

"Queen Mother, he only came recently, and his father just found out." Princess Linglong was afraid that Queen Zhuang would be suspicious, so she hurriedly added.

"That's right." Empress Zhuang nodded slightly, and said softly to Ye Zitong: "I asked you for a long time, and I didn't invite you to sit down, please sit down." ”

Princess Linglong grinned and said, "The queen mother has given her a seat, and she is not quick to thank her." ”

Ye Zitong had no choice but to be at her mercy, bowed to Queen Zhuang, and then sat on the seat on the side of the hall. Only at this moment did she have the opportunity to seriously see the true face of the mother of this country.

Empress Zhuang was about forty years old. With phoenix eyes and thin eyebrows, his appearance is graceful and luxurious, revealing an innate aristocratic atmosphere. Although the face shape is slightly blessed, you can still see the upside-down beauty of your youth.

Queen Zhuang looked at the people in front of her, and always felt that something was wrong. It's just that she's worried about another matter now, and she doesn't have time to think about it. saw her frowns tightened, with a faint hint of melancholy in the middle: "Actually, I called you here because I had something else to ask you, but I was almost forgotten by you." ”

"What does the queen mother have to say. Just ask. Princess Linglong raised her snow-white face with a hint of curiosity.

"Let me ask you, did Ye'er also participate in this competition?"

"Yes," Princess Linglong showed a look of envy, "The second brother has already won the game and has been selected to duel with those Mingyue people." Damn, the second brother didn't even ask me to go. ”

Empress Zhuang listened to her words and sighed slightly: "Your second brother is the same as you, no one listens to me, those Mingyue people are vicious, others avoid them, but he runs to fight with others by himself." ”

"Don't worry, the second brother is very powerful. Those people can't win against him. Princess Linglong had an indifferent expression, as if the Mingyue people who were afraid of snakes and scorpions waved away.

"How can I rest assured," Empress Zhuang shook her head and said, "This is more eyeless than a sword in the arena." If you don't keep it, you will lose your life. If those Mingyue people are really so easy to deal with, your father doesn't have to worry. You three children, only De'er can make me worry less, you two, hey....... ”

"Queen Mother," Princess Linglong looked sad when she saw Queen Zhuang. Only then did he settle down, and hurriedly said: "Second brother Ji is a celestial appearance." It will be fine, if those Mingyue people dare to hurt him. I can't spare them. ”

But I heard Queen Zhuang complain: "Really, your father and emperor will not dissuade him, and he will have to come nonsense." ”

Ye Zitong saw that Empress Zhuang was worried about Li Ye's affairs, and couldn't help but secretly feel in his heart, although the Li family of Xiao Guo was the head of the nobles in the world, there were also many unsatisfactory things. She had heard Situ Ce say that she knew that King Xiao had a total of nine children, among which the eldest prince Li De, the second prince Li Ye and the ninth princess Linglong were born to Queen Zhuang.

This time Li Ye's battle with Mingyue's master set off a thousand layers of turmoil in her heart, making her unable to rest assured for a moment. No matter how respectful Queen Zhuang's identity is, at this time, she is just a loving mother who cares about her children.

After the two came out of Dongci Palace, it was already night, Ye Zitong grabbed Princess Linglong's hand and shook it, and said with a cold face: "What did you say just now, is it okay to make such a joke?" ”

Princess Linglong grinned: "Sister, don't be angry, my mother always has a straight face, I want her to be happy." ”

"Happy?" Ye Zitong couldn't cry or laugh: "Is there anything that makes my mother happy like this, this Linglong princess is really good at nonsense, with her, God knows what chaos will happen." ”

Ye Zitong ignored her anymore, turned around and walked towards the back road, Princess Linglong saw it, and immediately followed closely, as if she had made up her mind to stick to her.

The palace maids and maids who followed in the distance didn't know what was going on, but when they saw Princess Linglong's smiling face, they were all frightened. Princess Linglong has a strange temper, no one in the palace has ever suffered from her, what is the origin of this young man, so that Princess Linglong treats him so preferentially.

Although Ye Zitong's attitude was very cold, Princess Linglong didn't care at all, and followed her by herself, and the two walked all the way, unknowingly coming to a secluded garden.

At this time, the heavy snow had just passed, and the snow in the garden had not yet been cleared, and the two of them stepped over, and there was a creaking sound from time to time. As a cold wind blew by, a subtle sound that was extremely imperceptible suddenly came into Ye Zitong's ears. Ye Zitong's eyes swept away, and he immediately noticed that a faint black shadow was lurking on a rocky corner.

Ye Zitong's heart moved slightly, his face was still silent, and he quietly leaned towards the rockery. Unexpectedly, the figure seemed to have realized that it had leaked its whereabouts, and its body quickly disappeared backwards.

Ye Zitong didn't expect the person to be so alert, he snorted lightly at the moment, and the whole person flew up and accelerated to chase after him. Princess Linglong also saw the figure at this time, and immediately shouted: "Wait for me." Follow the steps and follow the direction of Ye Zitong to catch up.

The escaping black shadow was extremely light, and its body was like a black line, leaping and flying in the thick night, and in the blink of an eye, it swept past several gardens. Ye Zitong was secretly surprised when he saw this. Who is this man? To be able to come and go freely in the palace, if it is not unbelievably high, it is extremely familiar with this place.

The speeding black shadow quickly alarmed the dark sentinel in the palace, and with a few shouts, more than a dozen figures jumped out in all directions. rushed towards the man together, accompanied by the sound of a hidden weapon breaking through the air.

Ye Zitong was also interrogated a few times, but she didn't pay attention to it, and quickly crossed over, leaving only an angry shout behind her. Seeing that the other party was about to get out of sight, Ye Zitong quickened his pace. The body is like a wisp of smoke, firmly locking the other party. The dark shadow soon reached the outer wall of a palace, but saw him (her) pause slightly, and the whole person rose into the air, and his posture was stretched and elegant. Disappear over the several-foot-high faΓ§ade without delay.

Ye Zitong was taken aback, and quickly compared himself with the other party, and found that the person's light skills were not inferior to his own, and even surpassed. She didn't have time to think about it, but she rose up, and soon fell beyond the high wall, and when she looked up, she found that the figure had disappeared without a trace.

It's the first time someone has escaped right under their noses. Ye Zitong felt slightly frustrated, and was about to turn back, when he suddenly heard someone next to him shouting: "Sister, come quickly." The man went out into the woods. ”

Ye Zitong stared at it and found that Princess Linglong was standing under a tall night tree beckoning to her.

"Why are you here?" Ye Zitong was slightly surprised, with Princess Linglong's light skills, it stands to reason that she should have been thrown away long ago.

"I'm taking a shortcut." Princess Linglong smiled smugly. Ye Zitong looked at it for a moment, and then suddenly realized that this was the secret passage leading to the outside of the palace. With Princess Linglong's familiarity with the terrain, coupled with that secret mouth. You don't have to climb over the city walls to get out of the palace, so it's naturally much faster than her.

"Come with me." Princess Zhenlong bent over. Crawling into the pitch-black forest like a tanuki, Ye Zitong no longer hesitated and followed closely.

Lin Nei's vision was extremely dark, and Ye Zitong saw that Princess Linglong was not walking fast, so he simply grabbed her and rushed forward. Princess Linglong leaned on her arms, looking extremely comfortable, and whispered: "The smell of my sister is really good, even better than that of the queen mother." ”

Ye Zitong was stunned when he heard this, and secretly shook his head in his heart: "Is this comparable?" ”

Ye Zitong's footsteps were like flying, and he soon reached the edge of the forest, but he still didn't notice the trace of the black shadow, so he lowered his head and asked, "Out of the forest, where is it?" ”

Princess Linglong replied, "Further ahead is the Zama River, which is the outer river of the Imperial City. ”

Ye Zitong nodded, if he couldn't find it after leaving the forest, that person must have already crossed the river. But I don't know who the other party is, why did he visit the palace at night, could it be that the killer sent by Mingyue couldn't be?

Ye Zitong and Princess Linglong came out of the forest, and sure enough, they heard the sound of rushing water, although it was winter, the icy cold did not freeze the Zama River, and the river still flowed quickly and fast.

Ye Zitong and Princess Linglong were about to turn around and go back, when they suddenly heard a sound in the forest, and several figures quickly rushed out. Ye Zitong's eyes were in a hurry, and he hurriedly pulled Princess Linglong into a shadow.

Ye Zitong thought it was a soldier patrolling outside the palace at first, but when he heard one of them speak, he was taken aback.

But he heard a person: "Those people have entered the palace, but I'm afraid it's not easy to start." ”

Another human: "The organization is strict, do you dare to disobey it?" ”

The previous one said: "What can be done, we can pass two sentry posts at most, and then we will not be able to touch it again." Today, even before the outer city was approached, there was a large group of guards shouting to catch the assassin, which made me think that my identity was exposed. ”

"That being the case," another sighed, "we'll have to report the situation here to the organization before we do what we are told." ”

Ye Zitong quietly probed over, and when he saw these people dressed in gray clothes, he immediately understood the identity of the other party.

"It turned out to be people from purgatory, looking at their outfits, they should be masters of the Youluo level." Ye Zitong groaned slightly, and was thinking about whether to make a move, when he suddenly heard a sound behind him, and a sharp cold wind was approaching.

"Someone's sneaking up?" Ye Zitong's mind flashed, and his body quickly dodged to the side, dodging this surprise attack without any chance. When she looked back, she saw a masked man in a pale red robe standing coldly behind her, her two blue-gray eyes shining with a faint cold light.
