Lu Yiran sent Lu Xihe back to Lu Mansion, and then returned to his residence. He didn't worry about Lu Xihe himself, so he sent a few guards to keep an eye on him.

Lu Xihe seemed to look around unintentionally when he entered the door, thinking that it didn't matter, as long as it didn't interfere with her own business, she wouldn't care about everything this big brother did for the time being.

Xing'er stood in the courtyard, exuding a cold aura around her.

Lu Xihe walked a few steps quickly, and the little servant stood at the door and said, "Hello, adult." ”

Lu Xihe nodded slightly, Xing'er stepped forward, saw that the surroundings were safe, and said in a low voice: "Everything is normal in Qinglan Pass." ”

"It's too normal, but it's not normal. You send people to keep an eye on those people, and if there is any movement, you will act immediately. When Lu Xihe walked, the walking steps he wore "ding" sounded.

"Yes." After Xing'er answered, she disappeared into the courtyard in a blink of an eye.

Luluo dared to follow at this time, holding the gilding post in her hand, "Miss, the second lady of Zhang Guogong's family sent you a post and invited you to her house to play." ”

"The second lady of Zhang Guogong's family?" When Lu Xihe first came to the capital, she was not familiar with these people, and she couldn't remember who the second lady of Zhang Guogong's family was.

"Miss, it is said that she is a great beauty in the capital, and she is very famous." The pothos rubbed her hands excitedly, if the young lady went, she would be able to see the great beauty of the famous capital!

"Zhang Zhirou." Lu Xihe remembered that she surprised the princes and nobles with her dance "Ni Dress" in her early years, and even the emperor was full of praise.

It is said that many sons of the family flattered her in every way, but she ignored them.

"He's an interesting person." Lu Xihe had heard of her for a long time, and now that she invited herself to go, she categorically had no reason to refuse.

"Did the young lady agree to go? That's great! "The slave maid will go and prepare the clothes for the young lady now!" ”

Lu Xihe smiled, this girl is always so easy to be happy.

Zhang Zhirou is famous in the capital, and there are countless people who want to make friends.

The gate of the Guogong Mansion is heavy, and there is a large interstitial screen with a red sandalwood shelf in the middle of it. After passing through the hall, there are three halls, and behind the hall is the main courtyard.

Turning around the verandah, there was no one to be seen, and the voice was whispered.

I saw that among a group of women dressed in red and green, a touch of goose yellow figure was particularly eye-catching.

She sat in front of the guqin, and the strings of the qin were plucked by her hand, and the sound of the clear spring came from the qin, accompanied by the "ding" sound of the bell hanging on the red gold bracelet.

When he saw someone coming, he raised his eyes and smiled, and the bright light in his eyes shone like stars.

"This is the Miss Lu I told you about." Her voice is as sweet as honey, not deliberately pretentious, it is really intoxicating.

Is she Zhang Zhirou?

Zhang Zhirou walked down slowly, looked at her, and said with a smile: "I am two years older than you, you can call me Sister Zhang." ”

Lu Xihe smiled embarrassedly: "Sister Zhang." ”

"You are Lu Xihe?" An unkind voice rang out.

Lu Xihe turned his head and followed the voice, only to see a woman with big eyebrows walking over, staring at her coldly at the moment.

"I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Lu Xihe asked rhetorically.

The woman said disdainfully: "You deserve to know?" After that, he sneered, "What kind of person should I be, I can cross the three levels of the criminal department, now it seems that I am just a fox!" ”

Zhang Zhirou's face remained unchanged, but her voice was a little colder, "Lord Ankang, she is a guest I invited, please be polite." ”

"What the county lord said, the lower officials didn't understand it." Lu Xihe said in a good voice.

"Be kind to her? Hmph, the county lord of this county looks down on people who dare to jump around without strength in his life! After the county lord of Ankang finished speaking to Zhang Zhirou, he turned his head to Lu Xihe and mocked: "At a young age, relying on his own beauty, he hooked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be fascinated by you, and even arranged for you to enter the Criminal Department." It's a pity, with your small body, what can you do in the Inspectorate and Capture Division? Follow behind to catch mice? ”

Everyone who was originally watching the play changed their positions when they heard the name of the prince.

"I thought I had a lot of ability, but it turned out that I hooked up with the prince."

"No wonder you're so angry."

"Sister, what is the Inspector of Arrests?"

"The Arrest Division is the place where prisoners are arrested."

…

In the face of all kinds of words, Lu Xihe was not angry. Before she came, she had guessed that someone was going to make things difficult for her.

What she didn't expect was that the difficulties would come so quickly, and this Ankang county lord would really pick and talk about her official position.

"The lord of Ankang County, the subordinate officials entered the Criminal Department, and they passed the assessment of the Criminal Department and the selection of the Officials. The documents that participated in the assessment are now falling on His Majesty's desk. The county lord said this, but did he question His Majesty? ”

The county lord of Ankang's face turned pale, this damn Lu Xihe actually moved out of the emperor to press her!

"Hahahaha..."

There was a burst of applause, and the Seventh Prince Ning Heng walked in stride, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Lord Lu is still so interesting!" ”

Zhang Zhirou smiled slightly, "I don't know that the Seven Princes are coming, and I don't want to welcome them from afar, and I hope that the Seven Princes will punish them." ”

"See the Seven Princes." Although everyone is curious about the relationship between these people, the etiquette must not be lost.

The county lord of Ankang gritted his teeth, this waste prince Ning Heng, how can he mix it everywhere, it's really annoying!

Lu Xihe saluted when everyone saw Ning Heng, she remembered this face too clearly.

The person who came to talk to him in Yujianglou was not the Seventh Prince Ning Heng?

"Lord Lu is really naughty, he said a fake name to fool me, and I couldn't find you." Ning Heng pretended to be pitiful, his eyes full of innocence.

The county lord of Ankang was unwilling, but Lu Xihe's words made her speechless, and now that there is another Ning Heng, she has nothing to do, so she has to give up.

The pothos stood in front of Lu Xihe, nervously unable to even say a complete sentence.

"The Seventh Prince may have misremembered." After Lu Xihe finished speaking, she took a step back, she didn't want to get too close to this person.

"Tsk, you said yes." Ning Heng felt bored, turned to Zhang Zhirou and said, "You rarely invite others, why are you so interested today?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Zhirou to answer, she shouted outside the door: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”

Ning Heng raised his eyebrows, the prince is also here?

Lu Xihe was quite surprised, it is said that the prince does not like to deal with people, and he rarely attends such occasions.

Is the sun coming out in the west today?

The county lord of Ankang sneered, "As soon as the prince comes, someone will be uncomfortable." ”

The tenderness in Zhang Zhirou's eyes was fleeting, and there was a hint of coldness in her gaze when she looked at the county lord of Ankang.

When Ning You walked in in green clothes, everyone was really amazed.

He tied up the green silk, and his bearing was extraordinary, like a fairy, handsome and unbelievable.

He has always rarely attended banquets, but when everyone is about to forget him, how can others forget him when he appears in such a way.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Everyone bowed, and for a moment the pavilion was silent.

It's eerily quiet.

The shadow reflected in Lu Xihe's eyes, where is the prince, it is clearly the arrogant and domineering Ning Yan'a.

She suddenly felt incredulous, could that person be so important to her?

Why didn't you think it before?

Why has he been gone for so long without even a little news to himself?

It can be seen that his place in his heart is not important.

"Your Highness." Zhang Zhirou stepped forward, her eyebrows seemed to be happy, and she suddenly stopped.

Ning You stood in front and listened patiently to her speech.

"It's nothing, Your Highness is here today... It's Rou'er's honor. Two suspicious blush quickly crept up her face, and her voice became more and more gentle.

The second lady said seriously. Lone has been in good health lately, and in the future—" He looked around at the people in the pavilion, and a smile appeared on his good-looking face, "I hope everyone will take care of it more." ”

"Your Highness, please." Zhang Zhirou turned sideways and sent someone to lead Ning You to sit on the seat.

Ning Heng and Prince Ning You have always been at odds with each other, and when they saw everyone's flattering appearance, their eyes were about to turn to the sky.

He walked up to Lu Xihe and whispered, "Fifth brother has something for you." ”

It's him?

Lu Xihe's face did not change, but his heart was turbulent.

The two walked out of the pavilion one after the other, each with a slave, and met by the lake.

The people in the pavilion were very lively, and no one noticed it except Ning You and the county lord of Ankang.

Ning Heng confirmed that there was no one around, and handed her a bag.

"Is he okay?" Lu Xihe asked.

Ning Heng seemed a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to care about him, I thought you were a flowery woman, and when I saw him lose power, I abandoned him." ”

"You just have to tell me if he's good or not." Lu Xihe put the bag into his sleeve and did not answer his words directly.

Ning Heng spread his hands, "Fighting outside, what is good or bad." Don't worry, the fifth brother is the world-famous god of war, and this little thing can't be difficult for him. ”

"That's fine, thank you, Your Highness."

"Let me ask you, are you sincere to the fifth brother?" Ning Heng asked with some hesitation, can the woman in front of him really be trusted? The fifth brother is now isolated and helpless, he has no power and powerless, and he is powerless to help him. If there is no one in the capital to help him, he will be in danger!

"Why do you ask?" Lu Xihe vaguely felt that something was wrong.

The person she sent to Qinglan Pass to inquire about the news is still missing.

Is something really going on?

"Hmph, I remember that the first time I saw you, you lied to us. He fooled us with a fake name! Ning Heng complained, "I finally found out that the person named Lu Rongwan was in Tiandu, and I did a little trick to bring her to Tiandu, but when I saw it, it turned out to be a strange woman!" ”

"So, you did it?" Lu Xihe's face was displeased, and he silently made a note in his heart.

"It's not to blame the fifth brother, he secretly found you and hid it from me for so long!" Ning Heng was angry when he thought of this, how could he not know that the fifth brother was so stingy!

"But you don't have to worry, that aunt's illness is only dragged by medicine, but it is actually harmless to the body, and it won't be long before she can be alive again!"

"It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, how can it be harmless to the body?" After Lu Xihe finished speaking, he was still worried about Ning Yan's condition.

The Fusang people must have brought him a lot of difficulties in Qinglan Pass.

There were also people in the DPRK who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of him.

Fortunately, she had already controlled the people who were transporting food and grass along the way, at least in this regard, he didn't have to worry about it.

"It's not too early, Your Highness should go back." Lu Xihe reminded.

Ning Heng patted his head, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot the hour." Be careful yourself. "After that, he left with the little guy in a hurry.

Lu Xihe breathed a sigh of relief, and the green pothos stepped forward to ask, but Lu Xihe shook his head lightly and signaled her not to talk more.

When she returned to the pavilion, everyone was seated, and the women of the song and dance workshop danced in the middle of the pavilion.

After listening to the little guy's report, Ning You looked at Lu Xihe with even more playfulness in his eyes.

He always knew what Lu Xihe was doing behind his back. Originally, he was very curious about what kind of person took over Tianji Pavilion. After a period of observation, her analysis of the enemy and the means of dealing with them really made him admire.

She was calm, decisive, and smart, if she hadn't been involved with Ning Yan too much, he could almost have determined that this was the person he was looking for.

As for Ning Yan, as long as he didn't think about it, he could let him go.

And his real opponent has always been in the dark...

Zhang Zhirou saw that everyone was not interested in singing and dancing, and proposed: "I always watch singing and dancing, how about we play a game?" ”

The county lord of Ankang sneered: "What are you doing playing games? Could it be that this song and dance is too boring, making the second miss tired? She can see that Zhang Zhirou clearly wants to take the opportunity to get close to the prince. She won't let them get their wish!
