After several days of rushing and today's blow, his spirit and body were already difficult to support. Reluctantly returned to the inn where he lived, Deyue Tower, and he couldn't support it anymore.

But when he really lay on the bed, his mind couldn't be quiet, and he sat up and walked to the window to push the window open, Xi Xi's cool breeze blew in his face, and his body was a little more comfortable, so he began to think again, Zhou Ruoning's thoughts were simple, and he didn't have to take it to heart, but what really made him jealous was that Mu Zhen, afraid that he didn't know anything about her. She can point the finger at Zhou Wenfeng in just a few words, if she didn't know Zhou Wenfeng's personality, maybe she would have doubts, and even more terrible consequences would happen. It seems that I should investigate this person properly. With the sporadic lights on the street, it was confirmed that there was no tail coming from the capital. He raised his head and looked at the roof of the building, and raised his voice and said, "I have something to look for you, come down." After that, he returned to the table and reached out to lift the teapot, and as soon as he poured a cup of tea, a person flashed in through the window just now.

Bai Jiu bowed and said, "Bai Jiu greets the master, what is the master's order to call Bai Jiu?" ”

Lu Jue ignored it, picked up the teacup, drank the tea, and poured another cup before turning his head and asking, "Why is there a guest room outside?" ”

Bai Jiu replied: "There are too many eyeliners in Jingzhong, and Bai Jiu must always be vigilant." ”

Lu Jue said: "So you pulled out those nails?" ”

"Yes" Bai Jiu hurriedly clenched his fists and explained: "They want to kill the master, Bai Jiu will make his own opinion, if you disturb the master's affairs, please ask the master to atone for his sins." ”

Lu Jue smiled disapprenously, he put down the teacup in his hand and leaned on the table, raised his hand to support his forehead, squinted at this person and sighed softly: "It's just a trivial matter, you just need to deal with it." I'm looking for you for something else, I want you to help me find a person, this person is not simple and probably has a background. Although my subordinates are officials, they are inconvenient, otherwise they would not have troubled you. ”

This person is the invisible person arranged by King Luo to protect him, and to put it bluntly, he was sent to monitor his every move. Otherwise, he cracked every case, and there were some confidential matters, and King Luo would not be able to know everything. But the government is not good at interfering in this matter, in case something goes wrong, it is not good for him to get out of the way, and he has to choose this person after thinking about it.

Bai Jiu didn't think about the meaning of Lu Jue's words, but just said respectfully: "The master commands." ”

Running around for a few days in a row was enough for Lu Jue, coupled with today's events, he was already exhausted, and the arm supporting the table had begun to tremble slightly, and he commanded with a strong spirit: "There is a woman named Mu Zhen in the Zhou Mansion, I don't care what method you use to check, I want to know who she is, what background she has, where she comes from, and what is the purpose of her entering the Zhou family?" ”

The appearance of this person was too coincidental, and the coincidence was like a deliberate arrangement. couldn't help but make him guess that this woman was not only trying to deal with Zhou Wenfeng in the Zhou family, but her real purpose must be herself, otherwise she wouldn't talk to herself in one more move.

Hearing this name, Bai Jiu was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately said respectfully: "Yes, Bai Jiu received the order." ”

Lu Jue was very tired now, so he didn't notice Bai Jiu's strange appearance, and held his head and instructed: "This woman is not simple, she may have kung fu in her body, be careful in everything." ”

"Yes, Bai Jiu retired." After receiving the order, he was about to retire, when he heard Lu Jue's voice of stopping.

"Wait."

"What else does the master command?"

Lu Jue stood up and walked to Bai Jiu with the edge of the table, his eyes were cold, and he said in a fierce tone: "What am I doing, you should have known about following me for so long." I have no intention of worrying with you about all the things before, if something goes wrong in this matter, I have the means to make your life worse than death. I know you people are trained not to be afraid of death, but I promise you won't find a chance to die when the time comes. ”

His words were fluttering, and a chill could be heard in the center of Bai Jiu's ears. It turned out that he had already known in his heart what he was doing, and he didn't do anything to himself, not because he was afraid of King Luo's majesty, but because he didn't care to do it to himself. Bai Jiu is not a fool who can still distinguish right from wrong, he is a dead soldier and a tool of the master all his life, King Luo gave him to Lu Jue, he should live for him and die for him.

Bai Jiu immediately knelt down to show his loyalty: "Bai Jiu doesn't dare, Master Xie doesn't care about his previous suspicions." The prince gave Bai Jiu to his master, and Bai Jiu swore allegiance to his master. ”

"Very good, I believe this, if you dare to have different intentions, you know the consequences, go ahead." Lu Jue lowered his eyelids weakly, sat back on the round stool heavily, and no longer had the heart to deal with this person, he had already said that he weighed the pros and cons, he should know how to do it, if he dared to leak a word, then don't blame himself for cleaning up the sand in his eyes, waved his hand to him and motioned for him to leave.

"Yes, Bai Jiu retired." After speaking, Bai Jiu retreated to the window, came and went silently, and even the window closed silently, as if this person had never appeared.

As soon as Bai Jiu was sent away, Lu Jue felt a hot pain in his chest. He noticed that the pain was different from before, there seemed to be a foreign object stuck in his throat and it was uncomfortable, and when he took a sip, there was a fishy sweet taste in his mouth, and as soon as he noticed it, blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. Lu Jue subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it off, but he heard the sound of the door being opened, and looked up at the hazy eyes but couldn't see the person clearly.

"Young master, young master, what's wrong with you." Liu Lingling, who had completed the task, came back to report to Lu Jue and saw his scene. Nothing else immediately stepped forward, and before he could reach out and touch his wrist, the man went limp. "Young Master, Young Master" Liu Fuling immediately took a few steps forward to support Lu Jue, lest he fall and be injured. Then gently place him on the ground and try to lie him down as much as possible so that he can breathe easily. After completing a series of things, he found that his face was already blue and knew that the situation was not good, and knelt down on one knee to take his pulse, who knew that this pulse was even more worried, and his brows were also wrinkled into a knot. People don't dare to move casually, so they can only let him lie on the ground first and apply silver needles to him first. Then he told Moon Shadow to come and take care of him, and he was busy changing the prescription himself, grabbing the medicine decoction.

After being busy for most of the night, Lu Jue, who had been poured medicine, gradually calmed down his breathing and his pulse stabilized. The two of them helped the person to the bed to rest, and it was about to be dawn, Liu Lingling sent Yueying back to the room to rest, and he himself relied on the table to deal with it for a while.

The young master was unwell, and Liu Lingling didn't dare to leave half a step, and stayed until dawn. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of Lu Jue's pre-wake-up and didn't need to be served here, so I could go to make up for sleep, but what I didn't expect was that early in the morning, the eldest lady of the Zhou family went to the inn, not only disturbing people's business, but also ordering the proprietress Yu Xianglan to ask Lu Jue if she woke up one by one. Liu Fuling endured her anger and looked at Yu Xianglan with an embarrassed face. knows that this is all the fault of the eldest lady of the Zhou family, and she should not blame others, but this trip will make anyone angry. He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "She's not gone yet." ”

Yu Xianglan shook her head and said, "No." She looked at the guest room where there was no movement, and asked, "Lu Gongzi hasn't woken up yet?" ”

Liu Fuling tried her best to lower her voice and said angrily: "This person is too much, yesterday she almost killed my young master, what does it mean to visit again today!" There's something wrong with her! I have already told her that the young master is sick and can't see guests, why is he still cheeky and doesn't leave! ”

Yu Xianglan sighed and said helplessly: "Then I'll go down and say goodbye to the eldest lady." ”

It's not easy for people, Liu Lingling knew that her tone was a little too heavy just now, and she was a little embarrassed at this time: "There is work." ”

"Then I'll go first." As soon as he turned to leave, he heard the sound of the door opening. Turning his head, he saw Lu Jue standing at the door, with a happy face: "Master Lu, you are awake." ”

Liu Shujun was happy to see people wake up, but he didn't forget to wait for the eldest lady below who disturbed people's dreams. Hurriedly walked a few steps to him and said, "Young Master, go and have a look!" That big lady 、、、、、、."

"I hear you." After speaking, he apologized to Yu Xianglan and said: "I'm causing you trouble, Boss Lao has gone down to inform her, I agree with her, please wait for a while." ”

"Yes, I'll go." To avoid a trouble, Yu Xianglan happily went downstairs.

After seeing Yu Xianglan leave, Liu Lingling followed Lu Jue into the guest room, and asked while closing the door: "How does the young master plan to deal with her." He knew that as long as Lu Jue was a fellow opinion, he knew it. But I didn't know the bottom in my heart, so I had to ask.

Lu Jue didn't answer, picked up a white robe neatly placed on the bed and put it on his body, and tied a silver palace silk around his waist. Walk to the hanger, reach out and pick up the shirt of the same color that is layered on it, put it on your body, and cut out the hair nested in the clothes. Straightened his shirt and smiled elegantly: "I thought about it all the way yesterday, and I figured out some things." Let's go down and see. "Walked out first.

"Oh" Liu Ling, who listened to these words without a beginning or an end, was surrounded by clouds and mountains, but when she saw Lu Jue in a white robe, she was depressed again, didn't she say that the young lady was fine? But this white coat, white shoes, and even the hair are half draped and half bundled, what do you mean! The more I thought about it, the more confused my head was like paste, and I followed Lu Jue in a daze.

In the past, there was not a single guest in the hall that was full of guests, and there were only Zhou Ruoning, Zhou Ruoshui who came under duress in the empty hall, and a few maids brought by Zhou Ruoning, and then the moon shadow who sat opposite them. Although no one spoke first, the smell of gunpowder was everywhere.

Moon Shadow sat there, staring at several people hostilely, as if to say who was afraid of whom.

After staring at it for a long time, Qiu Ju, the girl next to Zhou Ruoning, couldn't stand it first, she couldn't stand the rudeness of the moon shadow, pointed to the moon shadow who had been staring at her own miss, and said angrily: "Why are you so rude, why do you keep staring at my young lady." ”

Yo, I haven't quarreled with you yet, you little girl is the first to quarrel with me. If you open your mouth first, I won't be afraid that the young master will reprimand me for being rude, this is called legitimate defense! Moon Shadow glanced at Qiu Ju with disdain, crossed her arms and sneered at her chest, "I'll just see what's wrong, am I a man?" Will it melt at a glance? Isn't it just for people to look good! If you are really afraid of being seen, close the door and hide at home, what do you wear like a flower to attract bees and butterflies! Be careful, I was photographed by Hanako and sold in the kiln! "Yesterday, I heard Liu Fuling talk about Zhou Ruoning's various behaviors, and I was really angry, and now I can look up to her when I talk to her here. If it had been thrown out before, it would have been your turn to yell in front of her.

Qiu Ju said angrily: "You humiliated my young lady." ”

Moon Shadow glared at her round eyes and said, "Which ear did you hear me humiliate your young lady, did I refer to it or to say my surname." You came up to find it yourself, and you blamed others for putting the gun in the wrong place. ”

"You, you, you" was suddenly speechless, Qiu Ju looked at the proud moon shadow and her face was flushed with anger, you just couldn't say a word for a long time. The hand pointing at the Moon Shadow was raised there, not letting go, not letting go.

Moon Shadow stared at Qiu Ju proudly, the provocative look was full of 'you are not the one to quarrel', she crossed her hands on her waist and added: "People from famous families in the capital understand the rules, but why can't the eldest lady of the Zhou family even discipline a subordinate." There is a guest who passes through the door, is there such a thing as pointing at the customer's nose? Do you want me to discipline and discipline the eldest lady, so as not to spread it out and make people laugh, ah! He tilted his head, leaned his body, and looked at Zhou Ruoning with a smile.

"You, eldest lady, slave." Qiu Ju looked at Zhou Ruoning with an aggrieved expression.

"Alright." Zhou Ruoning put down the teacup and got up and smiled: "Let Mrs. Liu laugh, Ning'er is a woman with shallow knowledge and will not discipline her subordinates." After going back, Miss Ben will discipline herself, and she will not work for Mrs. Lao. ”

"Don't dare, I just." Moon Shadow was just about to continue when she heard Lu Jue's voice of stopping.

"Moon Shadow is not allowed to be rude, the eldest lady is a famous daughter who knows her upbringing. Since the eldest lady no longer cares about you, why don't you give up and not retreat. As he spoke, he was already standing on the last step. Dressed in a white robe, white and flawless, his black hair is smooth like black satin draped behind him, lining his slender and straight figure, elegant temperament, majestic and restrained.

"Yes" Moon Shadow glanced at Zhou Ruoning and snorted and stepped aside.

When he didn't see him, he couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart, and Zhou Ruoshui looked at Lu Jue with mixed feelings in his heart. The person is still the same person, but he is more slender and upright than five years ago, and he is no longer the weak teenager. The same pale and bloodless face is more confident and mature. He can be healthy Zhou Ruoshui is happy from the bottom of his heart, but although this person has a marriage contract with him, he never belongs to him, because his eyes are all his sister, and he is just a dispensable substitute.

It was enough for Zhou Ruoning to be overjoyed, Ying Ying got up and pointed to the seat next to her and said with a smile: "Brother, please take a seat." ”

However, Lu Jue didn't pay attention to Zhou Ruoning, but sat at the table near the staircase. asked, "The eldest lady came early in the morning and didn't know what to do?" ”

Zhou Ruoning smiled awkwardly for a moment, walked a few steps to Lu Jue's table, and sat beside him without his consent, his eyes were gentle, and his words were soft, for fear that others would not see what was wrong. said: "I asked my subordinates to prepare my brother's favorite refreshments, this girl is very skillful, try it." Turning his head and looking at Zhou Ruoshui with a smile, he said, "Xiao Ruo, come, quickly serve refreshments to the son." ”

Zhou Ruoshui was startled, and Nuo Nuo responded: "Yes" hurriedly walked to the table with the food box and opened it gently, put down the delicate snacks inside one by one, and put them on the last layer, wrapped in delicately embroidered cotton cloth, and took out the small and delicate teapot that was still steaming. I took out two small cups and poured two cups, and the tea was fragrant. Picked up the teacup and moved two steps, came to Lu Jue, smiled sadly and said quietly: "Son, please use tea." Zhuang Zhuang raised his eyes slightly, only to see that Lu Jue was also looking at him, and hurriedly lowered his head in a panic, he didn't see it himself yesterday.

"Thank you." Lu Jue took it with a smile and held it tightly in his hand, his eyes kept following Zhou Ruoshui. I was so excited that I could see it tomorrow, and now it seems that it is not different from what I guessed.

Liu Fuling is a doctor, her nose is more flexible than ordinary people, and when she sniffs it, she knows that this is Lu Jue's favorite tea. The method of concoction of plum blossom tea is known to a few people, and no one in the Zhou family knows it except for the young lady, and it seems that these people understand something.
