Yao Duran's mind was in a flash, and he blurted out and denied: "No, the concubine searched for half the night and returned in vain." ”

If Huo Jingcheng knew that Qiao Fengzhi and Huo Jingyao were glued together, she wouldn't even be able to call her back, I was afraid that she would have more suspicions. Secondly, Qiao Fengzhi is obviously avoiding the court due to illness, if people know that he is having fun with Huo Jingyao, then it will be suspected of bullying the king.

Huo Jingcheng's handsome eyes lingered on her red and swollen beautiful eyes, and he suddenly decided to demolish her, so he didn't shy away from saying, "Is it? Except for Qiao Fengzhi, who can make your eyes red? ”

Yao Duran was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his eyes: "Huo Gongzi said that he laughed, the wind was strong at night, and his eyes were red." ”

Huo Jingcheng was about to say something, when his gaze suddenly shifted and looked behind her. Seeing this, Yao Duran subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look, but at the last moment, Huo Jingcheng suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulders and stopped her movements.

Yao Duran was surprised, gently pushed him away, and said, "Huo Gongzi, what's wrong?" ”

Huo Jingcheng's face returned to normal, and he said softly to her: "It's nothing, you go back to the room first, I still have some other things to deal with." Qin An, send Mrs. Qiao up. ”

At this moment, a voice had already come: "Since everyone has met, why rush to leave, it's better to reminisce about the past." ”

Huo Jingcheng couldn't hide it, and a slight anger flashed in his eyes.

Several people followed the sound and took a look, only to see a beautiful and graceful woman who had already walked in, and this person turned out to be Huo Jingrou. Behind her was Chunping.

After Yao Duran saw it clearly, her already bad mood became even worse. Secretly sighed that this trip was really a narrow road, and in this Fengdu City, he was first blocked by Huo Jingyao, and now this other person is not good.

Huo Jingcheng looked at his sister and asked, "Jingrou, what are you...... Secretly followed my brother? ”

Huo Jingrouyun said lightly: "Yes, there is no way, I just love to be lively, so Fengdu City is so lively, how can the little sister not participate?" ”

"Fuquan, let's go up." Yao Duran said, blessed Huo Jingcheng, and then left their brother and sister upstairs.

"Wait." Huo Jingrou shouted to her, walked around in front of her, and said in a kind tone: "Don't misunderstand Mrs. Qiao, I have no malicious intentions, and you don't have to run away when you see me, you can be here to find Xiao Yaozi." ”

Yao Duran said lightly: "The princess can do whatever she wants, why care about the concubine's thoughts." ”

Huo Jingrou choked in her throat, paused, and then said patiently: "That's it, don't talk about this." Mrs. Joe go up and rest, tomorrow, maybe we can find someone together. ”

Yao Duran was speechless and walked upstairs. Fuquan silently followed.

Downstairs, Huo Jingrou found a corner by the window and sat down at the table, and said, "Sixth brother, we meet in other cities, new scenery and new fun, why don't we have a few drinks?" With that, she said to the shopkeeper who was napping behind the counter: "Shopkeeper, bring a few of your store's signature dishes, and then a pot of good wine." ”

Seeing this, Huo Jingcheng had to sit down slowly and asked, "You came to Fengdu City to find Qiao Fengzhi, what is your name?" ”

Huo Jingrou didn't care, and said: "Sixth brother, you can blame me for this, this time I came to Fengdu City, although it was not for Huo Jingyao, but not for Qiao Fengzhi, but to confirm one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

Huo Jingrou stared at his handsome face and smiled deeply: "Sixth brother, the woman you really like is Yao Duran, right?" ”

When Huo Jingcheng heard this, his handsome face changed color in an instant: "Jingrou! Be careful! ”

"What is the sixth brother doing so seriously? It's just the two of us. As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Jingcheng had already gotten up and wanted to leave, unwilling to talk to her again.

Huo Jingrou said at his back: "Sixth brother is angry? Am I wrong? The married woman in the sixth brother's heart who can't ask for it is Yao Duran, isn't it? ”

Huo Jingcheng stopped and turned his head to look at her: "What do you want to say?" ”

In a few words, the shopkeeper's serving came, and there were no guests in the middle of the night, and the food was served very quickly. The shopkeeper set up the wine and food, and saw Huo Jingcheng standing with a heavy face, so he greeted enthusiastically: "This distinguished guest, you sit, you sit, the dishes of the small shop will never disappoint the two distinguished guests." ”

Huo Jingcheng waved at him, then sat down again.

Huo Jingrou picked up the wine jug and poured the wine while saying: "Qiao Fengzhi said that he was sick and avoided the court, and his whereabouts are unknown, his father must be suspicious, the sixth brother does have a good reason to come to Fengdu City to find people, but in this way, the sixth brother also has to avoid the court for a few days, and then everyone knows that the sixth brother has also personally gone out to find someone, isn't this maintenance too obvious?" It would backfire with my father. The sixth brother is so smart, how can he act like this? Then, the sixth brother came to Fengdu City regardless of the consequences and public opinion, just for Yao Duran. ”

Huo Jingcheng's face was blank, he slowly took a sip of wine, and said lightly: "Then what?" ”

Huo Jingrou continued to pour wine for him and said, "Sixth brother, I have figured out a lot of things these days. Many of the subtleties have also been clarified. For example, when I was plowing in Lintian Mountain Garden, the sixth brother learned that I was working with Yao Duran, for fear that I would bully her, so he came to the rescue, but it turned out to be a step too late for Qiao Feng, and the sixth brother said that he was attracted by the fragrance of roasted bud rice. ”

"Also, on the day I beat Yao Duran with my cane in the princess's mansion, the sixth brother came to save her by chance. And today, Yao Duran left the capital with his front foot, and the sixth brother rushed over after dealing with the matter at hand in a panic, just for fear that Yao Duran would leave your eyelids and go wrong. This kind of variety can only show that the sixth brother has been sending people to pay attention to Yao Duran's every move and silently protect her. Is that right? ”

Huo Jingcheng drank silently, noncommittal, and a handsome face was mysterious in the candlelight.

Huo Jingrou saw that he was silent, and said, "Sixth brother, in front of me, what else can't you admit?" Sister, will I still hurt you? On the contrary, I have spread this matter with you precisely to protect you. To put it mildly, although I very much hope that Yao Du will abandon Qiao Fengzhi and throw herself into the arms of the sixth brother, but this matter is very important, and if you don't get it right, it will ruin the reputation and face of the sixth brother, and even affect the future, just like Lord Yang slandered the concubine of the king of Beizhong and had an affair with you. Therefore, my sister advised the sixth brother to return to Beijing overnight and stop doing meaningless things. ”

"Hehehe-" Huo Jingcheng suddenly laughed and said, "It is worthy of being my sister, and her mind is so delicate and sensitive." But then again, didn't I bother to protect her so much to prevent you? I can go back to Beijing as soon as you wish, but if you really want your sixth brother to concentrate on politics without worries, then you can treat her well, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep Qiao Fengzhi. ”

After that, Huo Jingcheng got up: "Qin An, go back to Beijing!" ”

Huo Jingrou looked at his distant figure and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Outside the window, the night was dark, the sparks were sparse, and the glimmer was not enough to illuminate the night. Huo Jingrou looked at it for a while, then withdrew her gaze, and looked at the table full of wine and food, with a hidden sadness in her beautiful eyes. The one upstairs turned out to be the sixth brother's sweetheart. Somewhere in this Fengdu City, there is also her sweetheart, and their respective sweethearts are a pair of people. Affection, love, love, is so complicated and absurd that it is simply ridiculous.

……

At dawn the next day, Yao Duran and Fuquan quietly embarked on the journey back to Beijing. Fengdu City, she didn't want to stay longer for a moment, this place seemed to be the place where he and Huo Jingyao fell in love.

After dawn, Huo Jingrou learned that Yao Duran had already left, and snorted coldly: "Chunping, look, someone has smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and he slipped really fast, dare I become a flood beast now?" ”

Chunping covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Princess, it is reasonable for her to be afraid of you, let her go." ”

Huo Jingrou bowed slightly: "Well, don't talk about her." Let's go back to Beijing. ”

Chunping was a little surprised: "Isn't the princess looking for Master Qiao?" ”

Huo Jingrou shook her head slowly: "That's it, don't look for it, if he is alone in Fengdu City, it will be fine, but there is still a Huo Jingyao, the last time he went back to the princess's mansion, it was like that, it stinked so much, how can we see each other." ”

Chunping said: "Then why did the princess follow Her Highness here?" ”

Huo Jingrou suddenly felt funny, and said in her heart that the two of them are really their own people, he specially rushed to Fengdu City for Yao Duran, but his move was harmful to Qiao Fengzhi, so she had to follow Qiao Fengzhi to persuade him to return to Beijing. After thinking about it, she said to Chunping: "Don't ask, you don't understand." ”

……

On the second day after Yao Duran returned to Beijing, he visited Xiangguo's mansion and told Yun Ce the truth about Qiao Fengzhi's refusal to return, and asked him to have an idea. Naturally, I only picked up what I could say, ignoring the fragrant and absurd scenes in front of Xunfang Building.

After hearing what she said, Yun Ce was quite annoyed, shaking his feather fan and said: "Twilight, I won't tell you, Your Majesty is really unhappy because of this matter, and there is a hidden admonition in his words several times, and I am also very worried." This is also true, he has always been smart, and he will not be unaware of the hidden worries behind this matter, but he is still so impulsive and reckless of the consequences. The longer this matter is delayed, the more difficult it will be for His Majesty to talk about it. Hey, when I think about it, think about it......"

Yao Duran lowered her beautiful eyes and said, "My lord, it's all the blame for the concubine, and I didn't remind and persuade each other in time." ”

"That's it, the people have already let them go, and it's useless to talk about it." After Yun Ce finished speaking, he frowned slightly: "That's not right! There are variables in this matter! ”

"Variables?" Yao Duran was shocked.

"Yes, I have a gut feeling, King You is this variable." After Yun Ce finished speaking, he looked at her and said, "Feng Zhi avoided him in the past, but now he is stuck in Fengdu City with him and refuses to come back, this King You is naturally a key point, and I don't know if there is anything to do with King Cheng behind this." ”

Yao Duran listened to it, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering, did he want to tell Yun Ce that his precious apprentice and Huo Jingyao not only ignored their past suspicions, but also returned you and me, like lovers? This matter is not only ridiculous, but also her face, if she loses in the hands of a woman, it will be fine, but she is still a ridiculous man, how can she say it with shame?

Thinking about it, she sighed lightly and said, "My lord, the concubine thought about it all night last night, and she thought of a plan, and she should be able to slow down this matter, but I don't know if it's feasible." ”

Yun Ce's eyes lit up: "Twilight, you can say it." ”

Yao Duran nodded, and said so.
