However, courtiers are forbidden to meet concubines at will, and even with His Majesty's permission, they will fall to the root of the conversation and be criticized.

What's more, at this time, the emperor and queen got married not long ago, and he had no reason to go to Li Jinzhen in private.

You have to find a woman who has something to do with her and will not be suspicious when she visits her...... When he saw Su Duxue on the side, he suddenly felt that Su Duxue was suddenly open, Su Duxue, as Li Jinzhen's sister-in-law, should be able to approach her, right?

It's just that I don't know if Su Duxue is willing to come forward.

It would be more appropriate to discuss this matter with Brother Li first.

After he made up his mind, he ignored Nan Zisheng's vague glances at him, and only sat quietly on the side, far away from the ladies.

It stands to reason that he is going to find a close grandmother for Li Jinzhen to teach the etiquette in the palace. It's just that he has been away for three years, and he is close to returning, so he has thin connections, and he doesn't know where to find such people, and he doesn't know who to go to ask about such things.

Su Duxue, who was sitting on the side, spoke softly, "My lord." ”

Nan Luyuan responded, turned sideways slightly, faced Su Duxue, and said gently, "Young lady, please speak." ”

Su Duxue pursed her lips and slightly organized the wording, before she said euphemistically: "I wonder if the adults admire Miss Lu?" Are you planning to get married recently? ”

As soon as these words came out, before Nan Luyuan could speak, he felt a gaze on his back, and a chill was cold.

However, he was not moved, but because he heard this, he seemed to be in a good mood, and happily responded: "Yes, Miss Lu has promised that her mother's side will come to Nanshang at that time, and Your Majesty has also agreed." ”

Su Duxue is so smart and icy, as soon as she heard this, combined with some things that Li Yangguan and her had discussed, she suddenly understood that Nanshang and Xitang wanted to break the ice and make some attempts for future trade between the two countries, so she smiled understandingly, put her mind at ease, and dispelled her worries: "That's the best, Miss Lu's maternal family is noble, and it may not be as good as the adult, and the adult can't let her down." At that time, I hope to be favored by the two and enjoy a glass of wine. ”

Nan Luyuan laughed and said, "We have all helped each other, why should the young lady see each other." Why is it still rusty now? If the young lady doesn't mind, Lu Yuan should call the young lady a sister-in-law, how dare he not call you to come to eat and drink. ”

Su Duxue replied with a smile: "Then call Twilight Xue as a sister-in-law." “

Suddenly, Nan Zisheng interjected: "So, don't mind if you are pregnant with Zisheng?" ”

Nan Luyuan glanced back at her and said politely: "If His Highness feels that it is convenient for him to go, the minister will naturally not dare to slack off." ”

Nan Zisheng sneered, and before he could be sarcastic, Li Jinzhen also interjected: "The concubine will go to rub a cup of joy with a shy face, anyway, the concubine didn't do anything wrong, there is no ghost in her heart, and she is upright to go." Before he finished speaking, he glanced at Nan Zisheng quite provocatively.

Su Duxue covered her lips and smiled, her face was half covered, but her eyes were cast from Nan Luyuan's body to Nan Zisheng without a trace, only a dragonfly was a little bit of water, even if she did not participate in the confrontation between Nan Zisheng and Nan Luyuan, she guessed what Nan Zisheng had done, not only annoyed Nan Luyuan, but also offended the queen of Nanshang.

Unless she offended the King of Nanshang, there would be no such result.

There are already three points of speculation in my heart, but I haven't waited for a chance to confirm with Nan Luyuan. If Nan Zisheng is really unfavorable to the king of Nanshang, then this person must not be able to have a deep friendship.

After all...... Anyone with a discerning eye can see how much King Nanshang indulges his sister.

If Nan Zisheng still had a little conscience, he wouldn't be able to do such a hurtful thing.

The palace man brought hot tea up. Nan Luyuan and Su Duxue took the tea, and waited for Li Jinzhen to take a sip before drinking the tea soup to moisten their throats.

Nan Luyuan seemed to have just thought of something, pretending to be innocent: "As soon as I drank this mulberry tea, Luyuan thought that there was a teahouse in the south of the city, and the craftsmanship of boiling mulberry tea was a must." I don't know when Brother Li and my sister-in-law will have time, let's get together, and ask my sister-in-law to do something about Shen Ling. ”

Su Duxue played with the cup in her hand, her eyes were shallow, reflecting the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the cup, her heart was like a mirror, and she smiled so much that Zhang Shenling was just one of them, and there were some things that were inconvenient to put on the bright side, so she took a sip of hot tea and calmly responded: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and it just so happens that my family officials have no other affairs today, so it's better to be respectful than to obey fate." ”

Nan Luyuan smiled and tilted his head slightly, and then raised his lamp and said, "Luyuan will go back and prepare later." ”

Then he saluted Li Jinzhen and said: "Niangniang, your close grandmother, the minister will send it the next day." ”

Li Jinzhen came down this time and understood that Nan Luyuan didn't seem to like Nan Zisheng either, so her good impression of Nan Luyuan increased, so she also greeted him with a smile: "Then there will be Master Lao." ”

.........

...

The narrow alleys are covered by rotten tarpaulins all day long, and there is no sun or moon, and no rays of light penetrate in. In the alley there was a long-abandoned and dilapidated house, the doors and windows had been broken into a puddle of stone and rotten wood, and it was pitch black and there were no fingers inside, and the stench of snakes and rats was mixed with the damp rotten gas, and once it was approached, the indescribable smell came to the face, and few people were willing to approach it.

There was a creaking and chewing sound in the darkness, and some terrible screams. In his place, there was a faint scream of a woman and the sound of snakes and insects entangled.

There was the sound of footsteps approaching, and then two men dressed in black and veiled dragged a blood-stained woman in, one of whom lit a fire, and in the darkness this light shone through, vaguely illuminating the four sides of the house.

The huge, rusty iron chains restrain a dozen or so skinless corpses like ducks, all gnawing on the remains that have been dried on the ground for an unknown amount of time. Leng Buding saw the light of the fire and smelled the breath of the living, so he rushed towards the two of them as if he had smelled a meat wolf. The black-clothed man with the fire fold took a slight step back, lifted the woman's other body, and the two of them threw her into the crowd of living corpses with some strength.

In an instant, more than a dozen living corpses scrambled to find a piece of flesh and teared it frantically!

The woman had no power to resist, but could only open her mouth and let out a hoarse cry, which soon turned to low sobs, and then was bitten by a living corpse, and made a few sounds like a leaky flute, and her eyes widened and she lost her life.

The next moment, however, a living corpse gouged out her eyes with sharp nails and devoured them.

The black-clothed man holding the fire fold lifted the only glowing thing, as if it had long been commonplace, and looked at the red blood everywhere, as if something unknown in the darkness had also been awakened, and let out a low chirp, like an ancient ghost sealed in the dust.

Within a quarter of an hour, the woman with a beautiful face had been gnawed to pieces, leaving only a few pieces of meat hanging lazily on the lonely backbone. The living corpse that had eaten a meal of flesh and blood seemed to be guided by something, and swayed regularly towards the thick darkness and hissed.

"Have you had enough medicine?" The man in black holding the fire fold deliberately lowered his voice and turned his head to ask the empty-handed man.

"After adding enough, the master ordered to take out all the intestines, and they were full of medicine." The man howled in a low voice in the darkness, "Fortunately, the surrounding southern merchants have been cleared by their masters, otherwise someone who calls here and there will be an accident sooner or later." ”

"This is close to Sheung Yuen Street, what is there to ignore the law?" The man holding the fire fold said, and sure enough, before he could do so, the living corpses settled down, no longer roared, and the things in the shadows gradually fell silent.

The two of them were about to extinguish the fire and leave, when they turned their heads and saw a tall thin figure standing behind them, dressed in a crane white coat, with a handsome and cold face, like a god and Buddha.

However, what is striking is that there is a soybean-sized red mole under his left eye, which looks more and more intense and dazzling in the dim light of the fire.

"Lord...... Master? Where did you get this red dye? The empty-handed man subconsciously wanted to kneel and salute, but was pulled back by the person holding the fire fold behind him!

Before he could spit out, he felt a chill on his neck, and then, like a dream, he watched his headless body fall trembling with gushing blood, and then felt himself fall to the ground.

The crane man's face was fair, but the remaining masked man saw his silver eyes.

The next moment, his body was cut in half in front of the man, smashing to the ground like a broken jar.

The man didn't even look at the two bones, as if they were no different from the dust that had accumulated on the ground. He walked into the darkness unhurriedly, raised his arm, sighed lightly with his fingertips, and a small sigil was nailed to the living corpses that had calmed down, and suddenly these more than ten living corpses burned strangely, and the majestic fire illuminated the house!

A huge statue of a woman was revealed before his eyes!

The black-haired man tilted his head slightly, and looked at this terrifying creature with a cold and indifferent expression. The woman was about 12 feet long, with two heads, 12 arms, and 3 pairs of breasts, and she had no legs or feet, and her lower body was already like a human leg dissolving into a huge snake tail. She was bound to a pillar of dark iron by dense sigils, and her body was not an inch, with dense black holes, and snakes and insects kept coming in and out of the holes.

Even the woman's long hair is knuckles that are joined together.

This can't even be called a "person".

"She" is more like something left over from the past.

"She" was keenly aware of the danger, and the long snake-like neck was bent down, and the mouth of the huge drum was completely dislocated, like a roaring viper!

Such a huge and strange thing is actually afraid of the crane man in front of him.

However, the man's expression did not change, even if "her" head was only a breath away from him, he did not have the slightest flustered face, but only seemed to narrate a fact: "A fake of an antique ghost." ”

He raised his hand slightly, and the sigil that bound "her" collapsed in an instant, and the thing was free, and suddenly writhed its tail and pounced on the man!

However, the man only gently stretched out his right hand, and his slender and bony fingers clicked "her" like falling flowers in a pool, and then the huge imitation ghost shrank and decayed in front of him in an instant, and it spread out into a skin bag in front of him!
