Outside the Qinglou, the dark guard watched Luoqiu slowly walk into the Hualou, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

This autumn is really strange.

As an Oiran, thousands of people are chasing after her, Luoqiu's temperament has always been quite arrogant, when did Gu Muzhi and Ouyang Qian have this honor, and they could even let her greet her in person, and they talked for so long.

If he remembered correctly, the two sides seemed to have only met once.

The dark guard felt suspicious, but he followed all the way, and he didn't find anything wrong with this falling autumn. Seeing that it was getting late, he hesitated, but did not continue to go to the Qinglou, but turned around and left.

The prince instructed him to protect Gu Muzhi secretly, and he couldn't leave for too long.

At this time, Gu Muzhi and Ouyang Qian had already walked to another street. The two of them harvested slowly, and their hands were full of all kinds of gadgets, what kind of wooden dragonflies, **, bracelets made of tree vines, as long as they were fancy, they were all bought by the two.

"We'll be back later."

Gu Muzhi glanced at the sun that was no longer so dazzling, and his tone was a little lost.

"What are you going back for!" Ouyang Qian glanced at her strangely, "It's not easy to come out, of course you have to have a good time!" ”

"But that's not good." Gu Muzhi whispered, with some caution in his tone.

Ouyang Qian threw a piece of jerky in her mouth and sneered, "It's not bad that I didn't kidnap you directly, and Qin Boyong is so arrogant, since he said that he let you come out to play, he will definitely not blame you." ”

"Yes."

Gu Muzhi nodded, thinking of his identity as a "bait".

In general, rats like to come out at night.

After figuring it out, the two of them went shopping happily again. However, after a day of walking, their legs and feet were really tired, so the two found a restaurant and asked for a private room by the window, planning to rest for a while before continuing to shop.

The food and drinks were slowly served, and it was getting dark outside the window.

As if soaked in ink, a few small dim-colored stars suddenly jumped out of the sky, and the light was too dim to expel the darkness on the ground.

Gu Muzhi took a sip of the wine in the cup and looked at the street outside the window with a faint expression.

During the day, there were still people coming and going, but now there is no one, and the silence is scary.

Halfway through eating, Ouyang Qian suddenly became excited, pointed out the window with her back to Gu Muzhi, and said loudly: "There seems to be a night market over there, and we are almost rested, why don't you go and have a look!" ”

"Let's go!"

Gu Muzhi's eyes lit up and he stood up.

There is a long alley around the corner of this street, and the night market is in the alley. Although the sky was dark, there were red lanterns hanging everywhere on the carts of these stalls, and the crowds came and went, and the heat of the night supper was wafting around, but it was more warm than during the day.

Because it's in an alley, the road is narrow.

The two of them walked forward slowly, close to each other, and there were many suppers in the night market, such as wontons, small rice balls, and sauce noodles...... All kinds, but Gu Muzhi and the two of them ate for a day, and their stomachs couldn't fit early, so they could only stare at these suppers and shake their heads.

But in addition to supper, there are many small things, and there are even those who sell flowers and crickets.

The two of them walked through the entire alley unconsciously, and seeing that there was nothing to go around, Gu Muzhi suddenly felt a little sleepy, so he yawned, "Okay, I'm almost done shopping today, let's go back to the palace." ”

Ouyang Qian was not as energetic as before, so she nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, the silence was broken by the cry of a child.

"Mother, where are you, I'm afraid!"

Gu Muzhi and Ouyang Qian were both startled, the two glanced at each other, turned around, and walked in the direction where the sound came from with a lantern, and really saw a child in a dark corner.

The child was no more than three or four years old, thin and small, and his arms and legs were curled up on the ground, which was very pitiful. Seeing the two approaching, the child stopped crying, but the look on his face was even more frightened.

"Little brother, why are you here alone, where is your father?" Gu Muzhi said softly.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ouyang Qian showed a smile that she thought was very kind, "Don't be afraid, we are good people." ”

I don't know if her good words worked, the child then sobbed and said: "My mother took me to visit the night market, and then my mother disappeared, I looked for my mother everywhere, but it was too dark here, I couldn't see anything, I couldn't find my way home." ”

Look at his pitiful appearance.

Gu Muzhi's heart was overflowing with maternal love, so she wiped her tears for the child and coaxed: "Where is your home, we have lanterns to send you back." ”

"Really?"

The child finally broke into tears and smiled, looking at the two of them with blank eyes, "Thank you, beautiful sister!" ”

The two were coaxed by this beautiful sister again, and they didn't bother to go back to the palace, so they took the child and started looking for his house.

Fortunately, his home was not far away, but it was too dark and the child was panicked, so he didn't find the location of his home for a while.

When they sent the child back, the child's parents were very grateful to the two of them, and repeatedly asked the two to sit in the house, saying that they wanted to entertain them. It's just that the time was too late, Gu Muzhi and Ouyang Qian were tired and sleepy, so they politely refused the family's kindness, dragged back to the palace, and slept on the bed.

Today, I was full of food and drink, and finally became a good person, and finally played back to my roots.

The dark guard watched the two enter the palace and returned to the courtyard, and then quickly arrived at the main courtyard.

Qin Boyong had just finished bathing, wearing only his middle coat, sitting in the middle room with his hair scattered, looking at something in his hand.

"Lord Wang, Miss Gu and Ouyang Qian are back."

The dark guard knelt in the outer room and bowed his head.

Qin Boyong snorted, and then said, "Repeat everything you saw today." ”

The dark guard answered yes, and began to recount Gu Muzhi and Ouyang Qian's day's itinerary, from when they went out in the morning, to spending money indiscriminately later, even the sentence they said, "It's all Qin Boyong's money that was spent anyway" was completely retold by the dark guard.

In addition to these, the dark guard also mentioned that Luoqiu was close to Gu Muzhi, and finally, Gu Muzhi and Ouyang Qian also said that they were good people and sent children.

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid there is something wrong with Luoqiu, and my subordinates suspect that she is in the news of the palace."

The dark guard hung his head and honestly said his conjecture: "It's just that I haven't found anything wrong with her for the time being." ”

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and Qin Boyong did not speak.

The Dark Guard suddenly tensed.

But soon Qin Boyong's voice came out, with a unique coolness of late night.

"The matter of Luoqiu has been delayed, but I think there is a problem with the couple who lost their child."
