The smell of medicine in the side hall has completely covered the original smoked incense, and there is a faint sound of conversation coming from the inner hall.

In order to prevent her from bringing people into the palace without permission, the idle people have already been retired, and the only people who can talk in the palace at this time are Shi Yuezhen and the young man.

"If you talk nonsense, I'll throw you out!" Shi Yuezhen's voice at this time was a little angry.

"This pretty sister." The young man's tone rose slightly, coupled with his crisp and clean voice, which made people only feel cute, "You saved me, I have nothing to repay you, it's better to-"

Luo Liyao walked into the inner hall, only to see that although the young man was sitting on the collapse, his body leaned forward slightly, and his face was almost attached to Shi Yuezhen, who was standing on the side.

Shi Yuezhen's face was slightly red, but he didn't retreat, just glared at him with a pair of apricot eyes.

Luo Liyao felt that she seemed to come in at the wrong time.

But Bang Hua behind him didn't notice anything wrong, and was even surprised by Luo Liyao's sudden stoppage, and said in surprise: "Your Highness? ”

A word instantly woke up the two who were still looking at each other, Shi Yuezhen hurriedly took a few steps back, and said viciously: "If this person is useless, throw it out quickly!" ”

The young man raised his eyebrows, and Jiao'er Lang reluctantly sat up straight, but his eyes never left Shi Yuezhen: "This sister, I haven't said how I plan to repay you for saving your life." ”

"Dengzi!" Shi Yuezhen was furious when he heard this, and pulled Luo Liyao beside him with one hand, "She wants to save you, not me!" ”

After that, Shi Yue really blushed and rushed out.

Luo Liyao: "......"

Luo Liyao held her forehead: "Banghua, you go and take a look, it's about to be curfew, don't let her run around." ”

Bang Hua took the order and retreated, leaving only the two people in the hall to look at each other without saying anything.

"This sister, although you are better-looking, I have already promised to make a personal promise to the sister just now." The young man leaned back and winked at Luo Liyao, "Do you have a question for me?" ”

"You taught the people to make wooden oxen." Luo Liyao stood still far away from him, "Did you come up with it yourself?" ”

The young man put his right hand on his cheek and looked at her with a pure and innocent face: "Sister, I thought you would ask me what my name was first." ”

Luo Liyao: "......"

Boy: "You're so straightforward, I don't know how to answer you for a while." ”

Luo Liyao looked at him with great interest as he pulled the jade ornament hanging on the side of the couch here, and touched the smooth brocade quilt covered by his body there, and was a little speechless for a while.

"It's a palace, everything looks valuable." The boy looked at her, and finally remembered to answer her question, "It wasn't something I thought of, it was written in a book, I just knew it and told the people." ”

"Books?" Luo Liyao has liked to read books since she was a child, and she has been involved in all the contents of the library hall in the palace, and the library hall brings together all the books in the world, and even some rare and unique books that are not known to everyone. Rao is like this, she has never read about "Wooden Cow", and for a while she only thought that he was making it up out of thin air, and found a reason to prevaricate herself.

But the young man nodded seriously, with a sincere face: "Yes, that book tells the story of the coexistence of three kingdoms - one of the prime ministers of one country is very smart, and this 'wooden ox and flowing horse' was invented by him to transport supplies on uneven roads. ”

......

The daylight is getting darker, and the Chaohui Temple, which is extremely lively with people during the day, has finally returned to silence at this time.

"This benefactor, it's about to get dark, and the small temple is about to close." Jing Chan clasped his hands together and said lightly to the man in the hall who seemed to be still looking at the Buddha statue carefully, "You better go back early." ”

The man seemed to have just come back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Thank you little master for reminding me, I'll go back now." ”

Jing Chan was silent, silently watched him out of the temple, and then closed the temple door.

As soon as the man came out of the temple, he saw that the outside of the temple, which was quite lively in the afternoon, was now deserted, and gently rolled up his sleeves.

Immediately, a figure in Xuanyi flashed up and said respectfully: "Master." ”

"Can you find out the identity of the woman at the gate of the temple?" The man turned to look at the closed temple gate and said softly.

"The two people next to the woman are powerful characters, and their subordinates don't dare to approach, so they don't hear their conversation." Xuanyi lowered his head, "But my subordinates have investigated, the carriage that the woman was in came out of the Tianqi Palace, and the palace gate guards looked very respectful, it should be a princess of Tianqi." ”

"Tianqi's princess......" The man laughed lightly, his handsome and handsome face should have been like a spring breeze because of this smile, but unfortunately his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, making this good appearance a little yin, "Tianqi only has two princesses, looking at the dress, it should be the one who has passed the time." Well...... What's it called? ”

Xuanyi didn't dare to slack off, and after a little thought, he said: "Back to the master's words, the princess of Jilu is called Luo Tangjue." ”

"Emperor Tianqi is so blessed, although he is only a concubine's daughter, he is also stunning." The man sneered, "Luo Xizheng has already gone back?" ”

"Yes. His subordinates looked at him and seemed to care about the princess Tang Jue, who had secretly followed the carriage just now, and should have arrived in Qiushui City at this time. Xuanyi said, "What else does the master command?" ”

"You go and send a message, if he can facilitate the marriage between me and Luo Tangjue, I will give him what he wants." The man smiled lightly, "An insignificant antidote formula, changing such a stunning princess, even if it is a concubine, it is not too much of a loss." ”

……

Yuhou Street, Shangshu Mansion.

After Zhao Kang had dinner, he remembered that he had to clean the courtyard outside the master's study once today, and immediately took a broom out of the residence.

To his surprise, there were several people he had never seen before among the guards at the gate today, and it was these people who stopped him.

"Several, the villain is responsible for cleaning this courtyard, and he will leave after cleaning." He reluctantly took out the waist card to prove his identity, "Several big brothers here who are often on duty here know the villain." ”

Several people who were familiar with Zhao Kang also nodded, and one of them said: "He is an honest man, and it is his duty to clean this yard, so don't be embarrassed for him." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Kang shook the broom in his hand, "The villain will leave after cleaning." ”

"That's fine." At this point, the person who stopped him couldn't say anything more, "You must move lightly, Your Highness and Master Shangshu are all inside." ”

Zhao Kang was shocked when he heard the word "Your Highness", but he also hurriedly responded and walked into the courtyard lightly.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door closing again behind him, Zhao Kang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately cleaned up.

At that time, it was getting dark, but the lights in the courtyard had not yet been lit, and the light of the candles in the house was very bright at this moment.

Zhao Kang quickly swept up the fallen leaves in the courtyard with his hands and feet, and when he piled them under the tree and put them away, and approached the house to get back the broom he had casually supported by the wall, he suddenly heard the crisp sound of porcelain breaking from inside the house.

Then Ning Zhong, the lord of the court, was full of shock but full of anger: "You said that you want to promote Princess Tang Jue to go to Yanding and kiss?" ”

"Maybe it's a good place for her." It was an unfamiliar voice from Zhao Kang, gentle but very firm, with a bit of convincing from the bottom of his heart, "She is a concubine, and it is a way out to go to Yanding and kiss." ”

Zhao Kang leaned closer so that he could hear more truthfully.

"Concubine Yi is afraid that she will die, and in the end, you found such a good relationship for her daughter." Ning Zhong snorted, "I don't really understand it, what are you trying to do so much to promote this?" ”

"Naturally, it's for Lord Ning's plan." There was a bit of solemnity in the man's tone, "I know Lord Ning's purpose all along, and I have this idea - the most important thing is that I know what Lord Ning has always wanted to do the most. ”

"Huh." Ning Zhong's words were undisguised mockery, "Does Your Highness know? Why can't you do anything to that one? is so indecisive, but it wastes the careful planning of the minister! ”

"Indecisive?" It seemed that Ning Zhong's mind was pierced, and the man was a little annoyed, "She has been weak since she was a child, and she is not a threat to Lord Ning's career, so why do you want to attack her?" ”

"It seems that His Highness still doesn't understand." Ning Zhong shook his head, shaking the candlelight in the room flickering, "Your Highness is a person who wants to achieve great things, but you can't be stumped by the love of your children." ”

The man was silent for a moment, and for a moment there was a terrible silence.

Zhao Kang didn't dare to come out, let alone listen to it anymore, so he hurriedly took the broom and retreated.

Inside the house, Luo Xizheng did not back down from Ning Zhongji's scrutinizing gaze in front of him.

He didn't say anything, and Ning Zhong was silent, and the two faced each other quietly.

After a while, Luo Xizheng seemed to notice something, glanced out the window and said, "Isn't there anyone Lord Ning wants to protect?" ”

Ning Zhong was stunned and frowned, "What does Your Highness mean by this?" ”

"Literally." Luo Xizheng retracted his gaze and smiled lightly, and a pair of calm pupils that were half-lowered in his mind were enough to take people's hearts, "The last thing a man can give up is nothing more than the land that belongs to him, and the people he loves." ”

"......" Ning Zhong's breath stagnated, and his eyes widened in disbelief, "You-you're crazy?" ”

"Maybe." Luo Xizheng touched his smooth cuffs, "Except for this matter, I can give in." ”

"Why her?" Ning Zhong was obviously very excited, and directly stepped forward and grabbed Luo Xizheng's arm, "You know that there are so many women in the world, and you and her are the most unlikely!" ”

"It's because I know," Luo Xizheng took a deep breath and calmly brushed away Ning Zhongji, who was a little out of shape, "I didn't do anything that day." ”

Ning Zhong was speechless for a while.

"If she doesn't want to, no one will try to force her." Luo Xizheng turned around and pushed open the door, letting the candles leaking from the house illuminate the dark courtyard, and said word by word, "No one can do it." ”

Ning Zhong immediately held his forehead, as if he had a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to say to him, but when he came to his mouth, he only had a long sigh: "Injustice!" ”

"Lord Ning, don't worry, I will never do anything that violates the etiquette law." Luo Xizheng glanced back at him, and walked out without calling anyone to hold the lamp.

He turned his back to the light and walked towards the infinite darkness, but he did not hurry, as if he himself was the light that could tear through the darkness.

Ning Zhong looked at his distant back, and inexplicably felt that there were too many unknown emotions in his eyes when he was leaving.

"Emotional, it's still a child." He shook his head, "I hope you can do what you say." ”

……

Tianqi Palace, Canglan Palace.

"How's that guy?" Shi Yuezhen was angry, and he pulled the plant in front of him for a while, "Can you throw it out?" ”

Luo Liyao looked at her with some amusement: "What's wrong with him, so angry?" ”

"Humph!" Shi Yue really hated to throw away the bamboo grass that had just been pulled out, "Deng's disciple!" At first glance, he is not a good person! ”

"I've promised to keep him in the palace." Luo Liyao stepped forward to pull her away, so as not to cause any more plants to suffer, "In the future, he will be the guard of the Canglan Palace." ”

"You, you, you, you!" Shi Yuezhen held her face, sighed that the touch was smooth and soft, and rubbed it twice, "Do you know what his name is and where he comes from?" It's so easy to put him around! ”

"His name is Tang Haoqi." Luo Liyao let her hand stop on her face, "He's not from here." ”

"Can you trust people from other countries?" Hearing this, Shi Yuezhen was even more ruthless, squeezing the beautiful face in front of him, "What if it's a spy?" Aren't you afraid of raising tigers? ”
