Xiao Zhu stood behind the landscape map, and saw that the memory of the pair of masters and apprentices was so poor, he couldn't help coughing a few times to identify himself, and then said nervously: "Uncle Nan, there's a carriage outside." ”

"Whose carriage?"

"I don't know."

"But the carriage that picked me up?" Nan Yanchen was a little nervous, today's prince's life hangs by a thread, if he loses his breath, as Lord Shenzhu, he must follow behind the master and fill the cards. If his master, Master Yiyi, knew that he was still running to the Drunken Immortal Residence at this time, he would definitely be locked up in Si Tiantai for half a month.

Huanhuan's heart tightened when he heard this, and he had no intention of eating mung bean cake.

"Master, can I use a cloth bag to fill this pastry compote for me?" Huanhuan stood up, tiptoed and looked out the window, where the high-rise buildings and the small shops downstairs were night candles, like a galaxy, gathered in the bustling long street. Huan Huan knew that it was getting late, and hurriedly said, "It's broken, it's broken, it must be He Li who betrayed my place." ”

Nan Yanchen reacted at this time, it was the carriage that came to pick up his little apprentice, and seeing her panicked and frightened appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "Slave, what's wrong?" Will the Six Princes blame you? ”

"No, no, no, it's not him, it's Ling'er." Huanhuan took the wooden box sent by the attendant, poured the pastry preserves together, and then hugged them in his arms and wanted to go out of the building. Realizing that he looked a little rude, he finally looked back at Nan Ember and nodded gratefully.

"Slave, don't worry."

How not to rush? Huanhuan knows Li Zerong, he must have brought Ling'er out, maybe hidden in the carriage, and as soon as she got out of the building, she would see Ling'er's disappointed and resentful eyes. This will be even more uncomfortable than Li Zerong scolding himself for many words, Ling'er is such a good Ling'er, how can he lie to her.

"Master, I'll go first. Next time, remember to tell the story, don't sell it, finish it quickly, you, this is not enjoyable. ”

Huanhuan followed the attendant who led the way, and went downstairs from the secret passage on the other side, and Huanhuan wanted to talk to the attendant who led the way, but saw that the attendant kept his head down, and led the way with expressionless eyes, so he dispelled the idea. There are a lot of mechanisms in this building of Fengxian Residence, just take the secret passage that just went downstairs, where is the mechanism, and how did the secret passage suddenly appear, Huanhuan didn't have time to see it clearly, and everything appeared in front of him so quickly.

The people in this building are also strange. The attendant does not speak to the guests, does not curry favor, and has to give a secret signal if he wants to enter the house. There are also landscape ink paintings in the secret house, and the people in the house are gone. This building is not like the rumored place of pleasure, but like a gathering place for assassins in the rivers and lakes of the book.

Soon, Huanhuan followed the attendant to the door of the building, and the gatekeeper who was watching the building was leaning on the edge of the purple wooden door, his eyes locked on the outside of the building.

Out of Fengxian Residence, Huanhuan knew why the gatekeeper was looking out of the door so closely.

He Qi was on a horse, and behind him was a group of guards, all dressed in velvet armor. If he hadn't known He Quan's identity in advance, Huanhuan would have been frightened by the scene in front of him. When the Lin Mansion was raided, it was such a team of people who broke in, but it was not He Qi who led the team, but the Imperial Forest General in the imperial city.

"Girl."

He Li nodded at her and called her a girl. Huanhuan didn't dare to look at him anymore, He Quan, who was wearing velvet armor, was more handsome and colder.

Refresh the gift and smile in return. Then she looked at the carriage that picked her up, it was the carriage that Li Zerong would set up when he entered the palace, and the decoration materials were extremely royal style.

Huanhuan glanced at He Quan in disbelief, and after making sure that there was no second carriage, he slowly stretched out his finger and waited for He Quan's response. She didn't dare to say a word during the whole process, her intuition told her that Li Zerong must be in the carriage, and Ling'er might also be there.

He Wei nodded, glanced at the façade of Fengxian Residence indifferently and disdainfully, dismounted, and said respectfully to the window of the carriage covered with curtains: "Lord Wang, you can go." ”

There was no response from the carriage. But He Li still nodded, as if he had heard a reply, and saluted to the carriage. Then he walked towards Huanhuan and made a gesture of please.

"Where are you going? Back home? ”

He Quan didn't immediately answer Huanhuan's question, but turned his head to look at the carriage.

"Go home."

The two short words, coming heavily from the carriage, were Li Zerong's voice.

"Oh."

Huanhuan replied casually, then raised his legs and got into the sedan chair, and suddenly a melodious and piercing flute sound came from a distance, as if with some kind of calling. Huanhuan couldn't help but turn around and look up at the place where the voice came from, and for a moment, almost everyone's eyes were looking at the corner of the tall building.

There is a blood-red star hanging on the tall building, it is faint and bright, and when it is dark, it does not see a little light, and when it is bright, it looks like a red flame flow stone.

"What's that?"

"What a beautiful star."

……

There were already crowds on the street that began to discuss, and Huanhuan, like them, was also curious about the glowing thing, and couldn't help but ask happily: "What is that, is it that the Nine Heavens have sent immortals down to earth?" ”

"It's just a red jade bead, the light that shines through the candlelight."

He Qi glanced at Huanhuan, whose feet were still standing on the mahogany steps, and replied disdainfully.

"Red Nao Jade Bead?" Huanhuan came back to his senses, squinted his eyes and looked at the "star" carefully, reacted, clapped his hands and said happily, "It's Master!" It's ...... him."

Before the words were finished, Huan Huan raised his clapping hand, and was grabbed by a cold big hand, and then the whole person was vigorously dragged into the carriage.

"Li Zerong, you let go of me!" Huanhuan reacted and shouted, "Light, it hurts!" ”

Seeing this, He Li automatically turned his back, reached out to his lips, and coughed twice in embarrassment. Seeing that there was a guard snickering behind the carriage, he immediately reminded in a straight voice: "Serious! ”

As soon as Huanhuan entered the carriage, he smelled the smell of ancient wood agarwood, mixed with a faint fragrance of begonia.

Li Zerong let go of her, but he didn't expect Huanhuan to stand unsteadily, he let go and fell directly on the carriage, fortunately, the carriage was covered with wool pads, and the moment he knelt on his knees, Huanhuan didn't feel pain.

In the large carriage, there is a small ebony wooden table, a small mahogany cabinet, and a seat about the width of the bed, on which are placed a gold silk quilt and a pair of porcelain pillows. After looking at the general decoration in the carriage, Huanhuan simply sat down on the cushion.

There was only one collapse in the car, and she would never sit on one with a shy face and Li Zerong.

"Sit down."

Huanhuan felt Li Zerong's cold gaze and heard the faint anger in his tone. But she was not afraid of him, and did not move on to his commanding words.

"The mat is dirty."

Li Zerong said again.

Huan Huan knew what he meant, and wanted to explain and refuse, but suddenly the carriage shook, Huan Huan did not sit firmly, and the whole person fell sideways in the car with the bumps of the carriage at the beginning of the journey.

Realizing that she was clutching Li Zerong's feet in embarrassment, Huanhuan immediately blushed her neck, but she didn't dare to let go, lest she be forced to roll back.

The carriage stabilized, and Huanhuan let go of the hand that was holding Li Zerong's feet. With his hands on the ground, he sat at Li Zerong's feet.

Li Zerong looked at the tips of Huanhuan's blushing ears, the fox eyes stared at her eyes tightly, and when he saw that her eyes were on him, he hurriedly turned his face away, reached out and patted the soft collapse of the sitting, and motioned for her to sit up.

Huanhuan comprehended, shook his hand, and said indifferently: "No need, I have rolled on the mat." ”

Huanhuan refused to sit with him on a soft slump on the grounds that his clothes were dirty.

Li Zerong said silently, just staring at her coldly.

Huanhuan's attention was still on the carriage, and when he saw an oil lamp hanging on the roof of the carriage, and the four beauties were painted on the lampshade, he couldn't help but smack his tongue and said, "This lamp is so beautiful." ”

Huanhuan thought that Li Zerong would reply to her with an "um", or "oh" or something like that, but he didn't say a word. Huanhuan felt that the atmosphere was strange, and Li Zerong seemed to be unhappy. In order to alleviate the dull atmosphere, Huanhuan had to pretend to be relaxed and talk nonsense.

"You say, can ordinary beads shine that way through candlelight?" When Huanhuan saw the warm yellow candlelight, she remembered the star that Nan Yanchen lit for her on the tall building just now, and couldn't help but smile, her tone became more cheerful, and she was still talking to herself, "I knew that I would have accepted that bead that day, and it would be fun to shine on the candlelight." ”

Huanhuan looked at the lamp with a blank slight, not noticing the blue tendons that burst out at Li Zerong's temples, the slightly drooping fox eyes, and the index finger of his left hand moving one after another. When Li Zerong looked at the joy in Huanhuan's eyes, the sea of vinegar was churning.

He Quan had told him all about today, and he knew how Huanhuan treated Nan Ember Dust kindly, eating a string of sugar gourds together, entering the Fengxian Residence together, and eating at the same table...... He also heard the sound of the flute blown by Nan Ember just now, and the discussion around him about the glowing jewel fell into his ears word for word.

In his opinion, what Nan Ember did to Huanhuan was no longer what he could do as a master.

Li Zerong himself didn't dare to guarantee how Huanhuan would react if he said another word about Nan Yanchen.

Huanhuan saw that he had never taken care of himself, and he had lost interest, so he was bored to sit, so he played with the wool on the blanket.

On the other side, Fengxian Ju.

Seeing that the carriage was out of the bustling long street, Nan Yanchen finally withdrew his arms that were raised straight in front of him, with a smile on his face, and said to Xiao Zhu, who had been staring at him beside him: "You say, can the slave see it from such a distance?" Maybe you shouldn't be on this roof, it's okay to be in your house. ”

"Uncle Nan, the candle oil has dripped on your hands."

Xiaozhu looked at a few drops of wax oil on his pale hands, and the skin to which the wax oil was attached was already red and swollen. Seeing that Uncle Nan, who had always taken care of his skin, was so abnormal tonight, he sighed secretly, took out the ice silk handkerchief in his arms, and wiped off the condensed wax oil for him.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

"Uncle Nan can rest in the building tonight?"

Xiaozhu stood beside Nan Ashchen, and after rubbing the wax oil from the block, he carefully wrapped the ice silk handkerchief around his hand.

Nan Yanchen looked down at Xiaozhu, who was wrapped in his wounds, and under the soft moonlight, the silhouette of the young man was so beautifully presented in front of him, and he suddenly felt guilty.

"No, I don't. The crown prince is dying, and the show of the five sons is about to be staged, and I have to stay in the palace. ”

"Uncle Nan, the traces of the third prince have been found."

Xiaozhu and Nan Ember stood side by side, admiring the full moon of Nalun Haojie.

"Where?"

"Nanfan Qixian Island."

Xiao Zhu thought that Nan Yanchen would be happy after knowing the traces of the third prince, but he looked pensive and did not respond.

Looking at the full moon again, I don't know when I hid in the black clouds, and the frosty moonlight made the black clouds as soft and mysterious as black veils.

"Don't take him back yet, tell someone to protect him."

With that, Nan Ember Dust flicked his sleeves, toe lightly, and went down to the roof. Xiaozhu followed closely behind and disappeared into the night with him.

What Xiaozhu didn't expect was that Uncle Nan was not in a hurry to go downstairs, but turned around and ran towards his house.

Xiaozhu looked at the back of the man running majestically, and faintly looked forward to something in his heart. But he didn't want to, Nan Yanchen re-entered his house for a box of needlework and a roll of brocade cloth.

Fang Huanhuan left in a hurry, and he forgot to hand over the goods he had purchased in the cloth shop to Huanhuan and asked her to take them back to sew the purse. When I saw the ice handkerchief wrapped around my hand, I remembered the needlework and brocade cloth left in the small bamboo house.

After Nan Ember finished taking his things, he stood in front of the secret passage to activate the mechanism, wanting to leave.

Seeing that he was leaving, Xiaozhu hurriedly called him and said, "Uncle Nan, I forgot something." ”

"What's that?"
