The man in front heard the voice and quickened his pace to her. The man behind him trotted to follow, so as to ensure that the candlelight of the dead wind lamp could shine on the road in front of the person.

The three of them soon approached.

You You saw the figure of the person in front of him by candlelight, especially the tall big belly, and couldn't help but wonder: "Father, it's so late, why are you here?" ”

The third watch has passed, the fourth watch has not arrived, most of the people in the house are asleep, and the father should be an exception, either drinking outside and not returning, or hangover and not waking up. At this hour, he is not awake, and it is unlikely that he will appear here.

The area around the back door is a secluded place in the Anding County Lord's Mansion, otherwise Youyou would not have let Zhang Ning enter the door from here.

King Zheng snatched the angry wind lamp from the little eunuch's hand and held it high, and the candlelight shone on Youyou's face. He confirmed that it was indeed his beloved daughter, and he also looked confused, and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Shouldn't you sleep in your boudoir at this hour?

"I ...... I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk and went for a walk. Yoyo casually made up a reason.

"Walking? Right now? King Zheng looked incredulous and said, "Yoyo, if there is anything you tell your father, don't think about it." If you do not agree to this family, your father will be blamed and ask His Majesty to change his will. ”

As soon as the emperor's edict and decree left the palace gate and were issued, it was a golden mouth and jade words, which could never be changed. King Zheng loved his daughter very much and didn't want her to be wronged, so he wanted to do everything to get the emperor to cancel the marriage. As long as the emperor is willing to cancel his will, it will be difficult for Zhang Ning to marry Youyou.

"Nothing." Youyou stepped forward to help him and said, "How could I disagree with this family business?" I really just can't sleep and go out for a walk. Father, I will help you back. ”

When I approached my father's side, I didn't smell the smell of wine on my father's body, and I couldn't help but think about it. Why didn't he drink today?

King Zheng didn't leave first, so he stared at his beloved daughter's face with a candle flame, and said, "Don't you want him to marry Yang Shiqi's granddaughter?" My father will go to His Majesty tomorrow to let him be exempted from the family affairs of the Zhang family and the Yang family. ”

The reason why I went to ask the emperor and not the empress dowager was for a reason, the emperor was easy-going and talkative, and the empress dowager had a deep prejudice against Zhang Ning, and was not satisfied with this family business, so she begged her, not only disturbing her recuperation, but also making her even more upset, maybe something would happen.

For the sake of his beloved daughter, King Zheng naturally has to take into account all aspects.

"Why?" Yoyo said helplessly: "I'm really just going out for a walk." ”

"Then why didn't the handmaidens follow? And didn't lift the dead wind lamp? Dark, what kind of steps do you scatter? King Zheng said. The first quarter moon has gone down early, there are not many stars tonight, and I didn't mention the dead wind lamp, which is to reach out and not see the five fingers. Not to mention that it is so late, even if you really can't sleep, you can't come out without anything.

Only then did you understand that she only cared about snuggling with Zhang Ning, and didn't want anyone to disturb her, so she didn't let the green pothos accompany her, so her father was suspicious.

"Father, let's go back to our room." She said, "Along the way, I have to think of some reason to fool the past."

"Okay." King Zheng was not suspicious, let his beloved daughter help him, and walked towards the main room.

There is still a long way to go from here to the main house, the father and daughter walked silently for a while, and then thought of a good excuse, and said: "It's so late, why did my father get here?" ”

"Your family affairs are settled, I am happy for my father, and I don't want to see Yang Shiqi's old goods, after coming out of the palace, I didn't go to Anxiang Bo's Mansion, and asked Heyijun Wang and a few people to go to the drunken fairy building to drink. Didn't you just come back? King Zheng said.

The ancestor of King Yijun is the cousin of Taizu, after Taizu won the world, he divided the brothers, and then he was crowned the king of the county, and the descendants of the descendants were lords, and the king of Heyi County of this generation was the brother of King Zheng, the two were about the same age, and had similar interests, and King Zheng often feasted with him after entering Beijing.

Drunk? You sniffed, but still didn't smell the smell of wine on King Zheng's body, and said strangely: "Did you really drink wine?" ”

"That's natural, for my father's heart, I drank too much, I was drunk, and the king of Yijun sent someone to send me back, and I slept for a while, and then I got up." King Zheng said with some regret. He still can't drink much, I don't feel like I've drunk much, why is he drunk?

"You just woke up? So how did you get here? Yoyo said. If Zhang Ning hadn't walked more than a dozen breaths earlier, wouldn't he have just happened to meet him?

"I didn't just wake up, I woke up for a while, I ate a bowl of lotus seed soup, I took a bath, I couldn't sleep anymore, so I went out for a walk, and this slave led the way, and got lost in the black light, and brought my father here." King Zheng glared fiercely at the little eunuch who raised the dead wind lamp, and the little eunuch lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

It turns out that you just can't sleep and go out for a walk. He muttered to himself silently, and glanced at the little eunuch with deep meaning. She didn't believe that the little eunuch got lost and walked here by mistake, but as if she heard some rumors, she deliberately brought King Zheng over.

The little eunuch begged for mercy in a low voice, and said: "County master, when the slave was waiting for the prince in the side courtyard of the drunken immortal building, they poured two glasses of wine, and they were a little drunk, so they got lost. The county lord spared the minions this time. ”

The distinguished guests of the drunken immortal building went upstairs to drink, and the entourage guards were waiting for them, and most of them would be taken to the side courtyard to serve some wine, food, snacks and so on. Anyway, these consumption will be counted on the heads of distinguished guests, and the drunken immortal building will not lose.

Youyou said: "You have been in Beijing with your father for several days, why are you still lost?" If you don't know the way, it's time to sell. ”

The little eunuch knelt down with a thud and begged: "The slave doesn't dare to drink anymore, please ask the county lord to spare the slave this time for the sake of the slave's loyalty." ”

King Zheng said: "Forget it this time, and I will not spare it next time." I walked for a long time, and my legs hurt. ”

"Yes, Lord Xie, Lord Xie." The little eunuch hurriedly got up.

By candlelight, you can see the face of the little eunuch clearly, and see that she is eighteen or nine years old, with a long middle and a short chin.

The little eunuch felt the leisurely gaze, removed the qi death wind lamp, and hung his head to his chest, hoping to avoid his face.

"Since my father spared you, the lord of this county will not care about you for the time being, and if you commit it again next time, you will never be spared." Yoyo's voice is not high, and it has its own majesty.

"Lord Xie." The little eunuch said in a loud voice.

Youyou ignored him anymore, helped his father take a shortcut, and soon came to the main hall.

Seeing the bright candle flame, King Zheng sighed and said, "Lone hates the dark the most, and this slave takes Lone to those places." ”

Then you spared him? He bowed and said, "Father, you rest, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Why the hell did you go there? Dark, what's so good? ”

It's just going to be dark. Youyou thought about it again on the way, and said, "Father, I don't know, there is a quiet room for me there, and I often go there to meditate when I have nothing to do. ”
