In the next few days, Li Jingyun didn't set foot in the main house again, and Badou brought her daily meals.

"Yin Zhangshi offended his son?" Hachito was really puzzled, "It was fine before." ”

His mouth was very light and he didn't have much appetite, but Hanatsuki ate all the food he brought, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and neatly put them back in Hato's hand.

"It's not a big deal." She laughed.

The slave and maid annoyed the master, and the master withdrew a little mercy from him, which is normal, Li Jingyun is not a patient person, if he really cares about her, it is better to say that it is a whim.

He wouldn't take it seriously, and she wouldn't take it to heart.

"But Gongzi has been absent from the house." Hachidou was embarrassed, "In case the general asks, what should the minion say?" ”

"Tell me the truth." Hua Yue raised her eyes to look at him, "If you are a slave, you can lie less if you can, otherwise if you suddenly get into trouble one day, the master will not be able to protect you." ”

Hachito humbly accepted the lesson and sent the dishes and chopsticks back to the kitchen.

Hua Yue looked out the window, the wind blew the trees, the light and shadow swayed, and for a moment, she felt that she saw a corner of her clothes.

But if you look closely, there are only green trees of the same color as your clothes outside.

Shaking her head, she pulled the quilt over her head.

The rain in Jinghua has not stopped, it has been falling for three days, and the rain is ticking on the windowsill, disturbing the beat of Konghou.

A jade fan stretched out from the window to catch it, and the rain fell on the carved flowers, staining the placket embroidered with dark flowers.

Li Jingyun didn't care, she just leaned on the flower window and smiled: "It's a pity that there is no sunny day, otherwise you can take a look at the unique flower hairpin color fan dance in this Qifeng Tower." ”

The room was a little dark, and the person sitting on the main seat couldn't see his expression clearly: "You don't follow General Li to train soldiers to defend the country, and you are not afraid that he will be angry if you live in these places." ”

Li Jingyun turned around: "I'm used to being casual, where can I endure the hardships in the training ground?" There is also an eldest brother at home who is loyal to the country, and I hide behind him, and there are always two points to steal. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Heshuo got up and took two steps forward, his deep and sharp eyes appeared, and he looked at him fixedly, "This palace has heard that you have a happy event with the Han family recently, and you plan to ask for marriage." ”

As soon as she heard this, Li Jingyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the corners of her eyes drooped: "Don't mention this, I'm annoying." ”

"What, unsatisfactory?"

"How can this be as good as you want?" Sitting next to him angrily, he shook his head, "I can't live with Han Shuang, but my father and mother insist on this family business, and asked me to accompany her to the temple fair before, and what jade pendant to give." ”

Zhou Heshuo's eyelids moved slightly, and he asked softly, "You sent it?" ”

"No, I didn't see Han Shuang that day, and the jade pendant is gone."

Zhou Heshuo was silent, his eyes fell on the person in front of him, three points of suspicion, seven points of confusion.

The East Palace was assassinated, and the jade pendant found was from Baolai Pavilion, and when he asked where he went, he was angry for half a night, thinking that Li Jingyun was going to be angry with the crown and go against him.

But at the moment, it doesn't seem to be like that.

"On the second day of the fourth month." Zhou Heshuo spoke, paused, and softened his tone, "The moon was big and round that day and night, and the palace was watching from the palace, but I was thinking about you, and I don't know where you went again." ”

"The second day of April?" Li Jingyun pinched his fingers blankly, "At that time, I was still grounded by my father, where can I go?" ”

Leaning back in the chair, he muttered angrily: "There is no wine, there is no beauty, the dog in the house is still alive, I will accompany it for a while and go to sleep." ”

Instead of smiling, Zhou Heshuo took a sip of tea.

"Your Highness." The voice of the guard came from outside the door, "The friend of the third prince is here." ”

Zhou Heshuo nodded, put down the teacup and got up and said: "Since you friends are together, this palace will not disturb them, so as not to restrain them, there is a nine-string phoenix qin below, and this palace will go and listen to it." ”

"Your Highness, go slowly." Li Jingyun stood up and saluted.

When they were far away, he faded his smile and rubbed his brow rather tiredly.

Xu Changyi and Liu Chenghe came in the door and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw him sitting intact.

"That master is gone?"

"Hmm." Li Jingyun raised his eyes, "How is it?" ”

The door was tightly closed, Xu Changyi sat down beside him, and said softly: "He has already asked people to go to your mansion and interrogated a few minions, but no one said anything." ”

Li Jingyun nodded and rubbed his stiff neck: "I almost killed my master." ”

"It's not that serious, your whereabouts are well hidden, and there are no insiders around, even if you put the mandarin duck in front of you, you just don't recognize it."

"Think beautifully." Li Jingyun snorted, "What kind of people are easy to deceive when they really eat royal meals?" But if there is a flaw, none of us will want to put our heads back on our necks today. ”

Xu Changyi smiled: "The third master is omnipotent, how can he fall on this small hurdle." ”

The two talked for a long time, Liu Chenghe was silent, Li Jingyun looked at him sideways, and raised his eyebrows: "What do you want?" ”

Frowning in embarrassment, Liu Chenghe asked, "What kind of person is that maid beside the third master?" ”

Li Jingyun was a little annoyed when he mentioned this: "Is she a human?" The dog will bark and wag its tail when it gives bones, she is good, she doesn't appreciate it when she saves her life, and she is like a thief. ”

Thinking of her evasive appearance that day, he felt that his heart was on fire, and he longed to buy ten hairpins from Baolai Pavilion, and break them one by one in front of her, so that she could know what it means to be angry.

Liu Chenghe's face turned pale: "That's over." ”

"How?" Li Jingyun knocked on the table string, "Can you finish what you have to say at once?" ”

"The people sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the General's Mansion not only inquired about the news, but also took a person away."

Liu Chenghe glanced at him, scratched his head and added, "It's in your yard." ”

Mo Tong froze slightly, and Li Jingyun reacted for a while before realizing who was being taken away in his yard.

The jade bone fan tightened, his face sank, and after a while, he reached out to cover his eyes.

"If you are a slave, you can lie less if you can, otherwise you will suddenly get into trouble one day, and the master will not be able to protect you."

- This is what she taught Badou, and he was listening outside the window at the time, half angry. But he was angry, and he didn't immediately stuff her back into the courtyard.

It's good now, and it's too late to stuff it back.

With a flick of his cuffs, Li Jingyun got up and walked out.

Qifenglou is a big place, the three-storey eaves are hung with lanterns with red background and gold wire, the warblers and swallows dance in the hall, and the coquettish laughter continues, and the shopkeeper who plays the abacus wears a string of gold and silver jewelry and passes by him, and gently bumps into his hand.

Li Jingyun continued to walk forward expressionlessly, and when he reached the second floor, he flipped his palm, and a key lay quietly, just enough to open the door in front of him.

Zhou Heshuo was next door to him.

There were more than a dozen guards standing in the room, the atmosphere was tense, Zhou Heshuo was not in a hurry, he first tasted a cup of tea carefully, and then opened his mouth slowly: "Ask a few things, and let you go back after asking." ”

The little maid in front of him was frightened, prostrate in front of him, and her small body trembled like a dead leaf in the wind.

Zhou Heshuo smiled: "Don't be afraid, I have an old acquaintance with your master, and I will never harm you." ”

The gentle tone will subconsciously make people want to be close and trusting under such a solemn sense of oppression, this is the power of the emperor, and it is most useful to torture this kind of slave who has never seen the world.

Sure enough, the little maid calmed down a little, raised her head timidly, and glanced at him quickly.

The weak and helpless eyes are like the rain outside the house.

Zhou Heshuo paused, and his tone became softer: "Just three questions, you answer." ”

Hua Yue lowered her eyes, and the hands in her sleeves turned white. She never expected to see this person in this way, and what she didn't expect was that he looked so kind now.

A long time ago, there were continuous fires on the red walls and yellow tiles, and this face was covered with blood, hideous and crazy. But after a while, his eyebrows softened, and he asked her with a smile: "Have you seen this jade pendant?" ”

Handing over the white jade mandarin duck pendant, Zhou Heshuo looked at it, and saw that the maid raised her eyes and stared at it, a trace of surprise crossed her eyes, and then lowered her head: "See...... I've seen it, it was the lady who picked it out for the son. ”

With a slight bow, he asked again, "Then do you remember when this thing disappeared?" ”

Her body trembled, and she spoke with a crying voice: "Remember, this jade slave remembers it best." ”

Li Jingyun wiped his face when he heard this, and pointed a small bow and crossbow at Yin Huayue through the small hole in the wall.

He knew that slaves could not be trusted, and no matter what kind of slaves they were, they would betray their masters for their lives.

The East Courtyard does not need a close attendant, it was not needed before, and it will not be needed in the future.

Pursing his lips, he pressed his fingers on the mechanism slightly.

“…… That day, I made an appointment with Miss Han to go to Shangxiang, and when the son came back, there was nothing on his waist. The little girl's shoulders shrunk, and the tail note was full of panic, "The son thought it was the slave's hands and feet, and almost ...... Almost drove the slave out of the East Courtyard. ”

After looking at Yu Pei twice, she muttered aggrievedly: "It turned out to be here." ”

The hand of the "......" gripping the mechanism stiffened, and then slowly let go.

Li Jingyun looked over from the small hole in a daze, and saw Yin Huayue kneeling timidly and restrainedly, with tears in her eyes, helpless and pitiful, where was there still half a point of calm and calm appearance in the house.

A woman's tears are the most confusing thing, Zhou Heshuo softened his heart, lowered his body and squatted in front of her, shook the white jade mandarin duck and asked: "When you arrive at Hai on the second day of the first month of April, can your son-in-law be in the mansion?" ”

After recalling for a moment seriously, Hua Yue nodded lightly: "Yes, he is teasing the dog at the West Gate...... I was almost bitten by a dog, but many people saw it at the time, and the slave and maid were there. ”

The doubts in his heart vanished, Zhou Heshuo pursed his lips and rubbed his eyebrows reproachfully. He glanced at the maid in front of him, and suddenly squatted down in front of her, and as soon as his fingers loosened, Ren Yupei fell into her arms.

Hua Yue was overjoyed, stretched out her hands to pick it up, and while her hands were cold, the corners of her hanging eyes were also warm.

Raising her eyes in confusion, she happened to meet Zhou Heshuo's gentle gaze.

"It's a little thing." He pinched his fingers and wiped the tears from the end of her eyes, and smiled gently, "It's worth your crying." ”

The man in the python robe crouched in front of her among the iron-clad swords, whispering like a baby.

Who can withstand this? A hundred slaves and maids stand in a row, His Royal Highness the Prince's arrow can penetrate ninety-nine hearts, no matter whose food it eats, at this moment, they are willing to go to the soup for His Royal Highness the Prince, and they will not hesitate.

Zhou Heshuo is very confident, he is familiar with this trick, and he has tried all kinds of tricks, so that this maid will not complain to Li Jingyun, and his suspicion and speculation today will not hurt the friendship between the two.

Sure enough, the little girl in front of her had red cheeks, and she didn't dare to look at him anymore, so she shyly turned her head to the side. She should have gotten up and said goodbye, but she didn't move, just leaned in front of him, wanting to spend more time with him.
