"The concubine was lonely and helpless when she was in Chang'an, and it was this friend who helped the concubine a lot, so the concubine was very grateful to him." Yifang told Liu Heng the true feelings in his heart, but when these words fell into his ears, they were not the original meaning.

"Only gratitude?"

"That's nature." Yifang didn't know why he had this question, so he could only answer truthfully.

Fortunately, Liu Heng did not continue to ask questions on this topic, and they continued to wander the streets, but the two of them had their own thoughts, and Yifang was not as lively as before.

They wandered around for a day and returned to their lodgings in the evening. In the past, the hunting capital of Muzhou was chosen near this place, and after a long time, someone proposed to build a simple palace here, and it was much more convenient for everyone to live.

Liu Heng squeezed out time to accompany Yifang out during the day, and naturally had to discuss some things with the ministers at night, even if those things had been sent out, he always had to ask about the results and the process of preparation.

Yifang went back to his residence first, which was not too far from Liu Heng's residence, but it was not the closest. According to the rules, the queen had to live next to the king, and the room in the Yi room had to be moved back. Fortunately, this position is the quietest, and few people usually come to disturb her, and she can be happy.

"Beauty, you're finally back." As soon as Yifang walked in the door, Teng Ling quickly greeted her, she and Zili had been waiting here for a long time, "Beauty, although you are going out with the king, but you don't have anyone with you, and you are outside the palace, we are very worried!" ”

"What's there to worry about, didn't I come back well?" Yifang smiled at her and walked to the house and sat down.

"Okay, Tengling, Yifang has been out for a day, and now she is tired, so let's let her rest quickly!" Zili woke up on the side, and Teng Ling went out to tell the maids to come in.

Yifang was indeed tired, so he sat motionless like this, letting them distribute it for himself. She recalled the words Liu Heng asked, as well as the person he mysteriously went to see today, and always felt that there was some connection. But after thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that I was nervous. She helplessly helped her forehead, she had not been outside the palace for a long time, and she felt very tired today, so she kept thinking nonsense.

The maidservants quickly prepared her for bathwater, which was no more modest here than in the palace. But at this time, some hot water is also good, which can wash away the fatigue of the day and take a little rest. Yifang let them wait, and he didn't want to move, and he fell asleep in a daze.

She dreamed of her days in Qinghe County, with her father and two younger brothers, fishing, farming, cooking and laundry. Their siblings always had a great time together, watching the stars at night, catching fireflies, and taking them to climb trees during the day. At that time, she really didn't look like a girl, but her father also let her go, always saying that even if she is a girl, she doesn't have to be too well-behaved, and some courage is good.

Then the picture turned, and she dreamed again that when she was in the Chang'an Palace, there were many people who dreamed, Xu Meiren, Princess Lu Yuan, Empress Dowager Lu, as well as Chu Ruo, Zili, Suo Hua, Mo Shang, and later the queen, Mrs. Emei, and Mrs. Luoyan also came. Of course, in this dream, the most impressive thing is the white clothes and the faint fragrance, everything in the dream finally turned into a pair of fox eyes, looking at her with sadness in her eyes, as if the pain in the world is gathered here.

Subsequently, Deng Tong, Chao Cuo, Zhou Ying, as well as Zhou Yafu and Liu Zhang, all rushed through her mind, and then went to Daiguo, entered the palace of Daiwang, and became a plain beauty of Daiwang.

"Beauty, beauty." The maidservant's voice woke up the room. She frowned and rubbed her eyes, in this short quarter of an hour, it was like reliving her previous life in a dream, the sadness in her heart was infinitely magnified, and her mind was also chaotic, and it took a long time to pick up the current memory.

"Beauty, this water is about to get cold, let's get out of the bath first, and then go to sleep in the house!"

"Hmm." Yifang lazily answered, and let the maids go back to the room. She was upset, so she asked everyone to step back and lay alone on the bed, trying to sleep again but couldn't.

The head of the Yi room sighed, the room was very quiet, and the sound was especially loud.

"Why sigh? Isn't the girl happy? A familiar man's voice came from the bedside, and Yi Fang got up in horror and found that there was a person standing next to the bed at some point.

"Deng Tong? Is that you? Yi Fang looked at the figure and asked tentatively.

"I haven't seen her for a long time, but the girl can still recognize the slave at a glance." Deng Tong turned to look at her, "Miss Ansu, it's been too long since Chang'an said goodbye." ”

"Are you really Deng Tong?" Yifang rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "I can't still dream, right?" ”

"The girl dreams of slaves?" Deng Tong was immediately flattered.

"You're really Deng Tong!" Yi Fang suddenly showed a bright smile, she remembered what Deng Tong called her just now, no one had called her by the name An Su for a long time, it must be that he was right.

"How is the girl? Can you be wronged in the royal palace? Deng Tong had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but in the end he only asked these two sentences.

Yi Fang shook his head vigorously: "There is nothing wronged, the acting king is very good to me." ”

"He has some conscience." Deng Tong wanted to reach out and brush away a strand of broken hair on Yifang's forehead, but thinking that she was now Liu Heng's concubine, he still retracted his hand.

"Why did you suddenly appear here?" Yifang didn't notice his little move.

"Naturally, I have something to do, and I want to stop by to see how the girl is doing."

Yifang suddenly remembered the figure he saw during the day, so he asked again: "I seem to have seen you on the street today, you won't be the one who led the king to the Allure Tower, right?" ”

"Whether Miss Ansu is in Chang'an or in Daiguo, her intelligence has not changed at all." Deng Tong nodded and confirmed, "I did come to see Liu Heng." ”

Yi Fang was taken aback, he would call the acting king by his first name. She remembered that when she was in the Chang'an Palace in the past, she guessed what the relationship between him and Daiguo was, and now it seems that it is not related to Daiguo, but with Daiwang. She thought quickly in her head, connecting the things of the past with what she knew now, and gradually came to a conclusion.

"Is the underground passage of Chang'an Zhuxuhou Mansion related to the acting king?" Yifang is almost in a word.

Deng Tong didn't think he could hide it from her, so he simply nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

"Why would the acting king dig such a tunnel in Chang'an?" Yi Fang furrowed his brows.

"The slave came all the way from Chang'an, and the girl just wanted to talk to the slave about this?" Deng Tong pretended to be aggrieved.

Yi Fang thought that since he had already met Liu Heng, and the two had a close relationship, if she continued to ask, he might find out that he was Empress Lu's fine work. Thinking like this, Yi Fang planned not to mention this matter again, and to investigate it himself in the future.

"How are Chao Cuo and Zhou Ying doing? Are they okay? Yi Fang smiled at the thought of the two children.

"They are all very good, Zhang Hui has left Chang'an to study around, Chao Cuo volunteered to go out with him for a long time, so he agreed with the slave for a period of two years, saying that he would come back after two years." Deng Tong looked at Yifang's smile, and laughed himself, "And Ying'er, she is doing a very good job in Shezi Restaurant, and she is also smart and studious, so she thinks that in a while, she will give her full authority to take care of this restaurant." ”

"They're all right, and I'm relieved." Yifang's sorrow just now was finally dispelled by the current pleasure.

After saying this, the room fell silent, and they were relatively silent. Yifang thought for a while, and then asked, "What is the use of the flower you gave me on the occasion of the departure last time?" ”

Yifang has been thinking about this problem these days, and there are many things to take out the flower and check it carefully, but he hasn't found any clues. She also asked Zili and Tengling to take a look, but they were all puzzled.

Deng Tong laughed again when he heard this: "It's rare that something can stump Miss Ansu, and since that's the case, the slave can't tell the girl the secret." ”

Looking at his mischievous expression, Yifang joked: "Could it be that there is a strange poison in this flower?" If I take out the poison and kill myself when I am in danger, it can be regarded as a hundred. ”

It was originally a joke, but Deng Tong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and Yifang asked in hindsight: "I just said it casually, I won't really let me say it, right?" ”

"Not really." Deng Tong shook his head seriously, "The flower itself is poisonous, but the slave was worried about hurting the girl, so he disposed of the poisonous rhizomes of the flower in advance." ”

"If that's the case, then why do you say that this flower can keep me safe?" Yi Fang thought, since he had already asked, he would ask thoroughly to understand.

Deng Tong didn't want to hide it anymore at this time, so he told her directly: "You must be careful to collect this flower, if one day in this generation of the country, someone wants to do something to you, no matter who this person is, even if it is Liu Heng, you can also break the flower and take out the things hidden in it, you can keep you safe." ”

"And there's something hidden in the flowers on the other side?" Yifang thought about it carefully, and the flower was slightly larger than the bottom of the ordinary flower, and it was indeed possible to hide some small objects. But what is it, and why is it so powerful that it can free people from the hands of the king of a country?

"Yes, but don't touch it unless it's in a moment of extreme danger, and don't take it out first to satisfy your curiosity." Deng Tong's expression was very serious.

Yi Fang also nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll listen to you, I will definitely keep the flowers." ”
