As soon as Zhao Mingxi entered the door, he saw Bai Qingqing, Bai Qingqing was dressed as a woman, and the temperament of an upstart lined the dress on her body was quite tacky, although the clothes of the two were a little similar, but Zhao Mingxi pressed Bai Qingqing to death, so he didn't take it to heart.

At this time, Lu Qingqing mentioned it, Zhao Mingxi looked at Bai Qingqing carefully, and found that her skirt was even brighter than Zhao Mingxi's princess.

Zhao Mingxi was a little dissatisfied, and asked in a low voice: "Who is she, why is she dressed like this today?" ”

Lu Xiu hesitated, then took the words and replied: "That's Mrs. Zhang's brother's daughter, who only moved to Hanjing last year, her surname is Bai, and the son-in-law recruited by the family is called Mrs. Bai." ”

Zhao Mingxi has long been in time, Zhao Che and the concubine are all planning about her marriage, Zhaoling is now a strong country, and there is no need to be married, Zhao Che and the concubine are reluctant to let her marry and be wronged, so they want to recruit a horse for her and leave her in Beijing.

Zhao Mingxi frowned and looked at Bai Qingqing, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't think she is a good person to get along with, isn't her husband miserable?" ”

Lu Xiu didn't know how Bai Qingqing's husband was, so he didn't make an evaluation, during this time, Bai Qingqing had been looking at them, and Zhao Mingxi couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "That lady has been watching here, if you have anything to say, it's better to come forward and say." ”

The surroundings quieted down all of a sudden, and Mrs. Zhang secretly said that it was not good, and pressed Bai Qingqing to prevent her from moving, and wanted to mix up, Zhao Mingxi directly named: "Mrs. Bai, this princess is called you." ”

In this case, you can't pretend not to know anymore, Bai Qingqing stood up, Mrs. Zhang was afraid that she would offend the princess by talking nonsense, so she also stood up, Zhao Mingxi didn't say anything, and acquiesced to Mrs. Zhang coming over.

The two came to the front, Zhao Mingxi looked at Bai Qingqing more carefully, Bai Qingqing had seen the biggest official before but the Muzhou Prefecture, and when he came to the official banquet today, he was very carefully dressed up, his face was covered with thick rouge gouache, I don't know what incense was used, the smell was quite strong, and he would be a little tired after smelling it for a long time.

The nobles in Beijing will also use incense, but they all choose the taste that is relatively fresh and elegant, like Bai Qingqing, which will look similar to the dust woman.

Cho Myung-hee didn't like it very much.

When she looked at Bai Qingqing, Bai Qingqing was also looking at her, her eyes were quite curious, and she was not afraid.

Mrs. Zhang pulled down Bai Qingqing's sleeve and led Bai Qingqing to salute and said, "The courtiers meet the princess." ”

Bai Qingqing slowed down and said, "The women of the people come to see the princess." ”

Zhao Mingxi didn't have any princess shelves, so he let the two of them get up, looked at Bai Qingqing and asked, "What are you looking at just now?" ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess is naturally beautiful, bright and moving, and the eyes of the women standing here can't help but be attracted." Bai Qingqing was not completely reckless, she slapped her ass first, Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment she heard her words turn around, and said insinuatingly, "When Her Royal Highness the princess comes, the people next to her will be overshadowed, not to mention that they are not good-looking, and they don't know how to block their faces." ”

Zhao Mingxi only has two people around him, Lu Qingqing and Lu Xiu, although Lu Qingqing gave birth to two children, but his figure is not out of shape, compared with a few years ago, he has added his mother's gentleness and softness, and the charm is outstanding, definitely not ugly, Lu Xiu is introverted, and has a quiet and indifferent beauty, the three of them stand in one place, each with its own characteristics.

Zhao Mingxi had a good relationship with Lu Xiu, and he also had some friendship with Lu Qingqing before, and when he heard Bai Qingqing's words, his impression of Bai Qingqing fell to the bottom, and he frowned and asked, "Who are you talking about who is not good-looking?" ”

Bai Qingqing said coincidentally: "The folk woman is saying that no matter who stands next to Her Royal Highness the princess, it is not good-looking. ”

Ordinary people would probably forget it when they heard this, but Zhao Mingxi didn't eat it, she sensed Bai Qingqing's hostility, and refuted coldly: "Who do you think of this princess as such clever words?" ”

Zhao Mingxi is sixteen, and he is innocent when he smiles on weekdays, but once he puts on his face, the majesty of the princess is still very intimidating.

Bai Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and said sneeringly: "I...... In Her Royal Highness Princess Kwa. ”

"Presumptuous, Yijie Buyi dares to call himself in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Gong E, who was serving Zhao Mingxi closely, scolded, and Mrs. Zhang immediately knelt down and confessed: "It's the courtier's fault, Qingqing has just moved to Beijing, and she hasn't had time to learn the rules, please forgive Her Royal Highness the princess!" ”

Bai Qingqing was shocked, she was really praising the princess, why was Her Royal Highness the princess still angry?

Bai Qingqing froze in place, and Gong E, who was waiting for Zhao Mingxi, stepped forward and knelt down with Bai Qingqing.

That Gong'e obviously knows how to do some work, Bai Qingqing's knees hit the floor tiles, making a muffled sound, and her face turned white in pain, she glanced at Lu Xiu and Lu Qingqing resentfully, although she didn't understand what was going on, but she also knew that she had fallen into the trap when she came to the banquet today, she didn't dare to talk nonsense, and then confessed.

Zhao Mingxi is not a violent person, Wen Sheng said: "There are tens of millions of good-looking skins in the world, all of them are different, but there are times when they are old and decrepit, this princess is not a superficial person who pays attention to appearance, and Mrs. does not have to deliberately step on others in front of this princess to deliberately please, this princess has a good relationship with the two sisters around her, and please be careful in the future, today is Lord Wu's birthday banquet, so I will not be harsh with you." ”

After Zhao Mingxi finished speaking, he motioned to Gong'e to let go of Bai Qingqing, and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Bai are relatives, and if you participate in this kind of banquet in the future, you should let Madame Bai understand the rules in advance, and dress appropriately." ”

Zhao Mingxi is younger than Bai Qingqing and Mrs. Zhang, and at this time, he seriously persuaded Mrs. Zhang to let Bai Qingqing dress up decently, the picture was inexplicably funny, and everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

Bai Qingqing knew at this time that they couldn't be laughing at Zhao Mingxi, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

Zhao Mingxi did not make it too difficult for the two, let them return to their seats, and the banquet continued, but everyone's thoughts were different from Fang Cai.

Wu Zhongyi has not made any achievements in the Ministry of Rites for so many years, and he can only be regarded as unable to find a mistake, Zhao Che asked Wu Shouxin to take Lu Qingqing back to help him organize the birthday banquet, which is already considered a grace, today Zhao Mingxi not only came to the banquet, but also said in front of everyone that she had a good relationship with Lu Qingqing and Lu Xiu, and Zhao Che's attitude towards the Lu family suddenly became blurred.

Everyone was a little unsure whether it was just that Zhao Mingxi and the Lu family had a good relationship, or that Zhao Che instructed behind his back to let Zhao Mingxi release the news to everyone on behalf of the royal family.

The female dependents were secretly speculating that there was also a riot on the side of the male guests, and none of the guests who came to the banquet thought that Zhao Che would bring the queen to the banquet in person, this was the first time that the queen appeared in front of everyone after the ceremony, everyone stood up and saluted, and secretly said that His Majesty really planned to rely on the Wu family, and actually gave the Wu family such a big face.

The emperor and queen attended together, the battle was quite large, everyone sat down after the salute, and the next person immediately served the food, which was originally orderly, a maid suddenly fell, everyone followed the prestige, and saw a man wearing a gray embroidered gray squirrel brocade shirt with a red face and stood helplessly in place, feeling the eyes of everyone, the man looked to the right front for help.

Zhang Yingshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who was sitting there, immediately got up and confessed: "Please forgive your majesty and the queen's mother, this person is the nephew of the lower official, he only moved to Hanjing from Muzhou a year ago, and today is the first time he participated in the official banquet. ”

Seeing Zhang Yingshan kneeling, the man also knelt down, and said resignedly: "Please forgive your majesty and the queen." ”

"If it's an unintentional mistake, forget it." Zhao Che said gently, today is the Wu family's birthday banquet, and you can't kill because of a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness is really a blessing for the people!" Zhang Yingshan patted his ass, the man was so frightened that he was paralyzed and speechless, Zhang Hao carried him to the table where he was with a calm face.

The dishes were quickly served, the people lit firecrackers for the feast, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and the atmosphere quickly returned to enthusiasm.

Zhang Yingshan glanced at Zhang Hao and signaled him to be optimistic about Bai Wensheng.

Bai Wensheng is Bai Qingqing's husband, and after joining the Bai family, he changed his surname to Bai, he has a soft temperament, no manhood at all, and he has no status in the Bai family for so many years, and he is becoming more and more unproductive.

After this experience, Bai Wensheng sat there trembling all over, and the eyes of the people at the table looked at him very delicately, Zhang Hao poured him a glass of wine, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Brother-in-law, why are you shaking so much, but what did you just see?" ”

Thinking of what happened just now, Bai Wensheng's face was bloodless, horror flashed in his eyes, and he took the glass of wine and poured it into his mouth, but he was so spicy that he burst into tears.

Zhang Hao sneered meaninglessly, patted him on the shoulder, and Bai Wensheng laughed: "I...... I didn't see anything. ”

The corners of Zhang Hao's lips hooked into a sneer, and he secretly scolded the useless things.

The emperor and queen were busy, and the banquet was only a third of the way, so they got up and left, Wu Zhongyi and Wu Shouxin sent them out together, and the others let go a little and began to discuss in a whisper about the emperor's participation in the banquet today.

At the same table with Zhang Hao and them was Si Ruoming, the prince of Lingyang Hou, Si Ruoming did not drink well, and after being persuaded to drink a few glasses of wine, his face immediately turned red, and a mist appeared at the bottom of his eyes, which was a little foggy.

He was born handsome, and even more charming when he was drunk.

He also knew that he couldn't drink too much, waved his hand to signal that he couldn't drink, got up and wanted to find a clean place to breathe, his body shook and fell back, and his whole body couldn't exert his strength.

Zhang Hao immediately raised his voice and asked, "Is the prince drunk?" ”

Si Ruoming shook his head, he still wanted to stand up, but his body became more and more weak, and when he saw that he was about to slide to the bottom of the table, Zhang Hao called his little servant to help Si Ruoming up.

Zhang Hao naturally said: "The prince is drunk, help him to the guest room to rest." ”

The little guy should leave with Fu Si Ruoming.

It was just a small episode, and none of the people here paid much attention to it.

At the same time, on the side of the women's area, Mrs. Wu was uncomfortable against her temples.

Lu Xiu asked Lu Qingqing in a low voice: "What's wrong with my aunt?" ”

Lu Qingqing said: "My mother has migraines, and she usually has to fall asleep after lunch, so she can't be too tired. ”

The banquet is not over yet, if Lu Qingqing and Mrs. Wu are gone, there will be no one here to take care of the overall situation, Lu Xiu whispered: "I'll send my aunt back to rest." ”

"That's troublesome sister, there is medicine in the second drawer of my mother's dresser, let her take two pills before sleeping." Lu Qingqing explained carefully, Lu Xiu nodded and wrote it down, and helped Mrs. Wu back to the main courtyard.

According to what Lu Qingqing said, Lu Xiu found the medicine for Mrs. Wu to take, afraid that Mrs. Wu would still feel uncomfortable, so Lu Xiu stayed by the bedside for a while, and waited for Mrs. Wu to fall asleep before getting up and leaving.

She was already half-full, and she didn't want to go to the banquet to deal with so many people, and was about to find a place to be quiet for a while, when a strange sound came from the guest room next to her.

Chun Ling was not around, the other subordinates were also busy, and there was no one around Lu Xiu, so she didn't dare to rush over, but thinking that this was a backyard, and the people who came and went were all female dependents, she was afraid that someone would need help, so she hesitated for a while and walked over and knocked on the door.

No one responded, Lu Xiu tried to push the door, but the door was not bolted, and it was pushed open all of a sudden.

In the room, a handsome man in a crow-blue embroidered bamboo brocade robe sat on the ground leaning on the bed, most of his clothes were torn apart, revealing porcelain jade-like skin, which was extremely eye-catching.

Lu Xiu was shocked, quickly turned his back, and his mind was suddenly confused, how could there be a man in the guest room in the backyard?

But then Lu Xiu realized that something was wrong, she secretly said that it was not good, she was afraid that she had fallen into a trap and was about to leave, when a group of people came towards this side violently.

Lu Xiu turned around and entered the room to remove the door bolt, walked in front of the man, looked carefully for a moment, and recognized that this was Si Ruoming, the prince of the Hou Shizi of Lingyang.

Si Ruoming's face had an abnormal flush, and he was panting very quickly, although there was a smell of alcohol on his body, but Lu Xiu went to Lanyue Pavilion once, knowing that he was not drunk, he squatted down in front of Si Ruoming, and whispered: "Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry, I'm going to offend." ”

After Lu Xiu finished speaking, he took a hairpin from his head and pricked it on Si Ruoming's leg.

Si Ruoming snorted in pain, his eyes flashed with clarity, and Lu Xiu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, someone wants to frame us, please keep your Highness awake, otherwise you will have to follow the way of outsiders." ”

"Who are you?"

Si Ruoming asked in a dumb voice, he didn't have any impression of Lu Xiu, Lu Xiu whispered: "My name is Lu Xiu, I am the younger sister of the young lady of the Wu family, today's matter is a little complicated, and I will slowly explain it to His Royal Highness the Prince after today." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door, Si Ruoming's expression was grim, and he snatched the hairpin in Lu Xiu's hand and ordered in a deep voice: "Hide it." ”

Lu Xiu hid under the bed, Si Ruoming stabbed his arm again, and asked coldly, "Who?" ”

The people outside immediately responded: "Your Highness, you are really here. ”

It was a person from the Lingyang Hou Mansion, Si Ruoming put away the hairpin, took off his clothes at will, walked over and opened the door, and the little guy came in immediately, followed by many fresh faces, looking into the house curiously.

Si Ruoming scolded coldly: "What are you looking at?

He is usually elegant, and everyone else thinks he has a good temper, but now he scolds people with a calm face, and he is also very majestic, and those people shake their heads and take two steps back.

Si Ruoming felt that something was churning in his body, and knew that he couldn't last long, so he said to his people: "I'm drunk and unwell, I want to rest here for a while, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Those people looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak, but the little servant of the Hou Mansion reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, this is the backyard of the Wu Mansion, it is not appropriate for you to rest here." ”

Si Ruoming rubbed his temples, couldn't remember how he came here, and asked in a deep voice, "Who sent me here?" ”

The two little guys didn't dare to speak, they just didn't pay attention, and their own sons disappeared from the banquet.

There must be something wrong with this matter, but this is not the time for interrogation, Si Ruoming suppressed his anger and the hot order surging in his heart: "Si Cheng, go and apologize to Lord Wu, saying that I was drunk and unconscious and accidentally came to the backyard, fortunately, there is no one abrupt, and I will come to apologize in person in the future." After saying that, he said to another servant, "I'm not feeling well, don't send me back quickly." "Read the book

The little guy hurriedly stepped forward to help Si Ruoming walk out, and after walking a few steps, Si Ruoming found that those people were still guarding the door, stopped and asked, "Which little guy are you all from, how do you know that this son is here?" ”

Several people did not dare to answer, and left with a sneer.

It was quiet outside, and Lu Xiu waited for a while before crawling out from under the bed, quickly checking his clothes to make sure that there was no one outside, and Lu Xiu hurriedly returned to the banquet.

Her face was not very good, and Lu Qingqing asked suspiciously, "Why have you been there for so long, but what happened?" ”

Lu Xiu shook his head, and his back was cold.

If she stays in the same room with Si Ruoming and is caught, I am afraid that countless charges will be taken on her head and she will be killed.

Lu Xiu poured himself a glass of fruit wine and drank it, barely suppressed his frantic heartbeat, and secretly looked at Bai Qingqing, just in front of Bai Qingqing's resentful eyes.

Lu Xiu's heart struck suddenly, today's matter is by no means over, the people behind her want to put her to death, if she sits still and waits for death, there is only one way to die.

At the end of the banquet, Lu Xiu helped Lu Qingqing finish the dots, and went home in the evening.

Lu Qingqing originally wanted to keep her for dinner, but Lu Xiu was uneasy and insisted on going home.

Chun Ling was guarding at home, and was a little surprised to see Lu Xiu coming back, and asked curiously: "Miss, why did you come back at this time?" ”

"Nothing happened today, did you?" Lu Xiu asked seriously, Chun Ling blinked, shook his head and said, "I've been staying at home, it's okay." ”

Lu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, had no appetite, and locked himself in the room.

She didn't have any enmity in Hanjing, even if others were dissatisfied with the Lu family, at most they would damage her, and they would not use this kind of vicious method to harm her, today's incident could only be the ghost of Zhang Hao and the Bai family.

Today she avoided it, but as long as she was in Hanjing for a day, such trouble was indispensable.

Lu Xiu gritted his teeth, feeling the anger of renunciation for the first time, and wished that he could die with them.

Just as he was thinking about it, the window snapped and was knocked, almost instinctively, Lu Xiu rushed to the cabinet, picked up the scissors and put them across his chest, and the next moment, the window was pushed open, and a tall figure rolled in from the outside.

There was no light in the room, the light was dim, and Lu Xiu looked at it for a while before he recognized that the person who came in was Zhou Jue.

Zhou Jue was even more surprised than Lu Xiu, and asked, "Why are you at home at this time?" ”

"This is my room, why can't I be there?" Lu Xiu replied, he was too frightened today, and when he saw Zhou Jue, he unconsciously spread his anger on him.

Zhou Jue was not angry, seeing that she was holding scissors in her hand, she remembered that she hit herself with a stone last time, and asked: "I always have a weapon in my hand, who can I defend against?" ”

"Naturally, it is to guard against ill-intentioned people." Lu Xiu said angrily, relaxed and felt a little weak, put the scissors on the table, and sat down with them.

Zhou Jue doesn't feel that he is a person with bad intentions, and he has made it clear what he has to do with her.

He walked up to Lu Xiu and sat down, and took out a slender sandalwood box from his arms, which was engraved with exquisite lines, and it was not a vulgar product at first glance.

Zhou Jue said: "This is the Nanxiang envoy sent to Zhaoling a few days ago, I think it's very good-looking, I originally wanted to wait for you to find out while you were not in the house, but I didn't expect you to run into it." ”

If you don't get touched, you're going to come into my house casually like this?

Lu Xiu wanted to roll his eyes, he was not curious about the contents of the box, and calmly reminded: "Commander Zhou, trespassing on a private house will be treated as a thief by the government." ”

"I'm here to deliver something, not to steal."

Zhou Jue was bold and opened the box by himself, which contained a string of bracelets, strung with crimson coral beads and translucent blue gemstones, the gems didn't know what material they were made of, but they were still shining.

It's beautiful.

Even if Lu Xiu has been by the Queen Mother's side for a few years, he has never seen such a beautiful bracelet.

Lu Xiu was distracted by the bracelet a little, and the next moment her wrist warmed, Zhou Jue grabbed her hand, Lu Xiu subconsciously wanted to resist, Zhou Jue ordered: "Don't move." ”

He could break her hand with a little force, Lu Xiu obediently didn't dare to move again, and Zhou Jue put the bracelet on her.

The chain buckle was a little too thin for him, his movements were a little clumsy, and he couldn't buckle it for a long time, in order to relieve the embarrassment, he coughed twice, and said to himself: "I haven't given the girl anything, and I am not skilled the first time, so you can bear more." ”

Lu Xiu didn't speak, and he helped him put the bracelet on.

Her wrists are thin, and the bracelet is a little bigger, but her wrist bones are beautiful.

Zhou Jue was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and then asked: "Shouldn't you be helping in the Wu Mansion today, why did you come back so early and they didn't leave you to eat?" ”

Zhou Jue had nothing to say, originally if Lu Xiu was not there, he would have to leave after delivering things, but now that she is here, she wants to say a few more words and stay with her for a while.

He is not good at acting, his eyes are warm and straightforward, he looks at him like this, Lu Xiu is inexplicably aggrieved, his eyes are uncontrollable fever, afraid that his emotions will get out of control, Lu Xiu bowed his head and said: "I took the things, you can go." ”

Still a step slower, the tail note trembled, Zhou Jue immediately noticed that something was wrong, sat there and didn't move, staring straight at Lu Xiu, and after a while, Lu Xiu's shoulders trembled slightly.

Zhou Jue's eyes immediately became cold, he raised Lu Xiu's chin, and sure enough, he saw two lines of tears on her face, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Lu Xiu said stiffly, Zhou Jue frowned, and asked, "Is it really okay?" ”

Lu Xiu still wanted to be hard-mouthed, but Zhou Jue lowered his head and kissed him directly.

His movements were much gentler than last time, but they were also so domineering and strong that Lu Xiu could not bear it, Lu Xiu beat him twice in the chest, Zhou Jue withdrew, and said coldly: "I hope you can figure out the situation, you are my person now, and soon you will marry into the Zhou family to be Mrs. Zhou, although I can't be by your side all day long, it doesn't mean that you can be bullied when I can't see it, we will be the closest people in the world, no matter what happens to you, you should tell me." ”

Zhou Jue's tone was very firm, with undoubted magic, Lu Xiu was inexplicably persuaded by him, as if she was hiding something from him and it was wrong for her.

"You let me go first." Lu Xiu said that Zhou Jue not only didn't let go, but also hugged the person to his lap and said, "Say it like this." ”

Lu Xiu briefly talked about what happened in Wu Mansion today, and the breath around Zhou Jue's body became cold little by little, and the cold was pressing.

Lu Xiu only explained what happened, and did not say what the consequences would be after being discovered, but Zhou Jue immediately knew that the people behind her wanted to kill her.

The Lu family is in decline, her current situation in Beijing is not good, if she is found to be staying with the Hou Shizi of Lingyang, most of the people will say that she wants to seduce and cling to the Hou Shizi of Lingyang, Si Ruoming's reputation outside has always been very good, and when this happens, everyone is much more tolerant of men than women, and all the dirty water and charges will only be knocked on her alone, and then she will be speechless, and she can only be ruined and reduced to a joke.

It is self-evident how vicious the mind of the person behind the design is.

Zhou Jue could imagine that Lu Xiu was scared and helpless at that time, hugged her slightly, and said, "I will transfer a few more guards from the house to protect you secretly, and leave this matter to me to solve, I promise that no one will dare to hurt you in the future." ”

After Zhou Jue finished speaking, he let go of Lu Xiu and was about to leave, Lu Xiu grabbed his sleeve and said worriedly: "Don't be impulsive, this matter should be solved in a more peaceful way, in case things get big......"

"Even if it makes trouble, I'll take care of it." Zhou Jue interrupted Lu Xiu, "Although Your Majesty has a knot in his heart for the Lu family, he is a clear monarch who is right and wrong, and since I said that I want to protect you thoroughly, I am not just talking." ”

After Zhou Jue finished speaking, he took Lu Xiu and kissed her on the forehead, and said, "You are frightened today, rest early for a while, and if you are afraid, let ......."

Zhou Jue originally wanted to say that Chun Ling would accompany her, but the words changed to her lips and said, "If you are afraid, I won't leave tonight." ”

Lu Xiu's worries were washed away, and he pushed him away, saying, "I'm not afraid." ”

She had little strength, Zhou Jue didn't move, raised her hand and rubbed her head, and praised: "Well, my family Xiuxiu is the bravest." ”

“……”

Who's your show!

Lu Xiu watched Zhou Jue go out of the window again with a tense face, and after a while, Chun Ling came to knock on the door and said cautiously: "Miss, I boiled mung bean soup, you better drink some." ”

Lu Xiu sighed and opened the door to let Chun Ling in.

Here Zhou Jue turned out of the courtyard and did not rush back to Zhou's house, but rode directly to the Marquis of Lingyang's mansion.

It was quite late, Zhou Jue didn't pay a prayer in advance, it came suddenly, and the people in the house were very surprised, and it took a while to go in, and then Zhou Jue was welcomed into Si Ruoming's courtyard.

After washing up, Si Ruoming had already changed into his underwear and was ready to rest, and when he heard Zhou Jue's visit, he hurriedly put on a coat on his body.

After entering the house, Zhou Jue got straight to the point and said, "I heard that my fiancée's hairpin accidentally fell here with His Royal Highness the Prince, and I will take it back for her." ”

Si Ruoming was surprised: "When did Commander Zhou have a fiancée?" ”

"A token of love has been exchanged, and it will be announced in a few days." Zhou Jue replied calmly, and Si Ruoming asked tentatively: "What Commander Zhou said is Miss Lu?" ”

"Exactly."

Zhou Jue replied without hesitation, Si Ruoming was a little surprised, and at the same time there was a faint sense of loss, but he didn't let his emotions leak out, got up and took out Lu Xiu's hairpin to Zhou Jue, and said gently: "If it weren't for Miss Lu's quick reaction today, I'm afraid that something big will happen, I originally planned to come to the door in a few days to thank you, but I didn't expect Zhou Datong to take the lead." ”

Zhou Jue put the hairpin into his sleeve pocket and asked, "Today's matter is by no means a trivial matter, how does His Royal Highness the Prince plan to deal with it?" ”

"The people behind him have sinister intentions, and they must not be allowed to go unpunished." Si Ruoming's eyes became sharp, and disgust flashed on his face, he read poetry and books, admired sages, and acted frankly and uprightly, what he didn't like the most was this kind of trick of the yin behind him, especially for a weak woman.

Zhou Jue and Si Ruoming had the same opinion, and continued to ask: "I am on an errand in the palace today, I don't know the situation at that time, does His Royal Highness the Prince have any suspicious candidates?" ”

Si Ruoming nodded and said: "I don't drink well, I was persuaded to drink a few glasses of wine at today's banquet, and I was a little drunk, I didn't take it seriously at first, but then I was tired, and then I found out that there was a problem with the wine, but it was too late, and the people at the table with me at that time had some friendship with me on weekdays, but there was one person who was the most suspicious." ”

"Who?"

"Zhang Hao, the son of Zhang Yingshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry." Si Ruoming said that Zhou Jue had no impression of Zhang Hao, his brows furrowed, and Si Ruoming immediately gave a reason, "After I came back, I asked people to investigate, Zhang Hao's studies are not outstanding, after the defeat of the Lu family, he wanted to take Miss Lu as a concubine several times, and he was entangled many times after being rejected by Miss Lu. ”

Lu Xiu had never said these things, Zhou Jue was busy in the palace most of the time, and naturally he didn't know about it, he remembered that Chun Ling said before that Lu Xiu would never be a concubine, and Lu Xiu's precautions all the time, and finally understood the problem.

Si Ruoming didn't know much about Zhang Hao, so he didn't say much about him, but said: "At the banquet yesterday, I and Zhang Hao's positions were next to each other, although he didn't persuade me to drink, but he had a great chance to drug my wine, but these are just my suspicions, and there is no conclusive evidence." ”

Now that the banquet has ended, I am afraid that the evidence has long been destroyed by Zhang Hao, and there is no way to convict him.

Zhou Jue roughly understood, and said, "I know, I will deal with this matter, His Royal Highness Xie Shizi told him." ”

After Zhou Jue finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and walked to the door, Si Ruoming hesitated for a while and called: "Commander Zhou." ”

Zhou Jue stopped, looked back at Si Ruoming, Si Ruoming's earlobes were flushed, and said: "When I went home, I found that there was a crimson belly pocket in my arms, if nothing else, it should be Miss Lu's personal belongings, although this thing was stuffed to me by others, but it is inconvenient to return it to her, I have ordered someone to burn it, so as not to leave a handle, Miss Lu, a weak woman living outside, is really a little dangerous, Commander Zhou still let her pay more attention." ”

After Si Ruoming finished speaking, he could see with the naked eye that Zhou Jue was coming out of his bones.

After a long time, Zhou Jue said: "His Royal Highness Xie Shizi reminds." ”

Out of the Lingyang Marquis Mansion, Zhou Jue sneered and licked his teeth, and a hundred ways to pull out the people behind him and torture them had flashed in his mind.

Hehe......
