Two wisps of white smoke drifted from the candlestick, and the room was darkened, and only the silhouettes of people could be seen.

Hua Yue stared at the pattern on the top of the tent for a moment with her eyes open, and asked him, "Except for the third prince of the General's Mansion, do you have any other identity?" ”

Li Jingyun didn't expect her to suddenly mention this, she was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and said impatiently: "Let you talk about yourself, I didn't let you ask the master in turn." ”

In the dark, Hua Yue smiled, tucked her chin under the quilt, and sighed: "There is nothing to say about the concubine." ”

His eyes sank and blended with the night, Li Jingyun wanted to get angry, and wanted to put Geng Ti and Ming Pei on her head, and ask her why she couldn't tell half the truth.

However, when he pondered her words carefully, he seemed to understand.

He won't tell her the truth, and she won't trust him completely.

People who seem to be soft and deceitful are not a little more vigilant.

Turning his head to look at the top of the tent with her, Li Jingyun exhaled and said cowardly: "Then the master doesn't care about you." ”

"Thanks to the son's care, the concubine is already grateful." Her voice came from the side, soft, like a whisper before falling asleep.

Li Jingyun turned his back to her, thinking that she didn't care about it, she didn't worry about herself, why should he worry about her more.

No one spoke in the room, only the sound of even, long breathing, from late night until dawn.

Day 2.

Li Jingyun woke up very early for the first time, and as soon as Yin Huayue went out on the front foot, he rolled over and got out of bed with his back foot, changed clothes and washed, and followed her out.

It's one thing to say that he's not worried, but it's another thing to be curious, he used to wake up and want to leave the mansion, and he didn't pay attention to what Hanazuki was doing in the mansion every day. I'm free today, so I'm going to follow along.

It doesn't mean anything else, it's idle anyway.

found enough reasons for himself, and the third master followed quietly.

Before dawn, the blue shadow looked particularly weak in the faint dim light, she went out from the east courtyard, all the way to the main courtyard, did not take two steps to meet the old housekeeper, the old housekeeper gave her the account book, she nodded and answered something, while looking through the main courtyard and stepped into the main courtyard.

The account room in the main courtyard is an extremely complicated place, Li Jingyun has been in the general's mansion for so long, and he has only entered it twice in total, and he has the impression that there are piles of account books and a group of anxious account rooms, and each account room is now hung with black green, like a demon crawling up from the underworld.

He saw Yin Huayue stepping in casually, and his brows furrowed.

What is a girl's house mixing in such a place?

Touching the backyard window, Li Jingyun looked sideways.

It's still the group of black ghosts right now, disheveled, with disheveled hair and a thick booklet in their arms. But now, the group of people gathered around a table, waiting respectfully.

Hua Yue sat behind the table, pinched the cinnabar pen in her hand, and quickly circled something on the booklet, and after the circle was finished, someone wailed, and saluted her very gratefully, picked up the booklet and returned to her place. The rest of the crowd gathered around like a tidal wave and handed the booklet to the table.

Li Jingyun felt suffocated when he saw it, did he revise the accounts? There are so many copies, when will they be changed?

The person at the table looked very focused, different from the gentle low eyebrows in front of him, facing others, she had no expression on her face, her pen was clean and neat, and her body was cold and rejecting people.

Feeling a little happy for no reason, Li Jingyun continued to watch with his arms crossed.

A few days ago, when she went up the mountain for spring hunting, she seemed to have accumulated a lot of accounts that had not been cleared, and even if she had done it very quickly, it took a full hour to see the original color of the long case.

The whole account room breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to her, he thought that she would rest in her chair for a while, who would have thought that this person only nodded, and got up and went out again.

Just after the hour, Hua Yue went to the kitchen, and the people in the kitchen saw that she was already very familiar, so they didn't wait for her to open her mouth and greeted her: "Miss Yin, there is a batch of fresh fish from West Lake in the kitchen today, and the prince is cute to eat?" ”

She stood next to the ingredient shelf, took a piece of paper and said, "The third prince doesn't like to eat fish, so change it to tamales for him." He didn't move a bite of yesterday's pigeon soup, don't put yam in it next time. Porridge was sent for breakfast, and two more vegetarian dishes were served for lunch. ”

"Okay." The cook nodded and bowed.

Li Jingyun leaned against the wall and listened, thinking that she really knew him, and it seemed that she had put a lot of thought into it when he wasn't paying attention.

The corners of his lips hooked up without a trace, and he sniffed, pretending not to care.

After arranging the meal, Huayue wanted to leave, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Xiao Cai.

As the maid who delivered the news, Xiao Cai knew more things than the frost, and when she saw her at this time, her expression was very complicated, and she walked up in two or three steps and whispered: "You betrayed Lord Chang?" ”

Her voice was quiet, and she was pulling someone against the wall to say it, so the busy people in the kitchen wouldn't hear it.

Hua Yue didn't care about it, and leaned against the wall and said funny: "I have never done anything under Changgui, how can I talk about betrayal?" ”

"However, you said that you would go to Guanshan to help contact Lord Shen, how could you turn against him?" Xiao Cai was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "The eldest prince is gone, Lord Chang is the best candidate to take over his old department, and it is not good for you to offend anyone to offend him." ”

"He was the one who wanted to kill me first."

Xiao Cai looked at her suspiciously: "But Lord Chang said that you are a ghost and have to save the third prince of the General's Mansion." ”

Her eyelids drooped, and Hua Yue's tone became cold: "You believe what he said?" ”

"I don't believe it, but ...... But there was a rumor in the main courtyard that you were the concubine of the third son. Xiao Cai said angrily, "Why are you so troubled? I finally got in touch with Lord Shen, and you can go back to him, it's better than looking at people's faces in this place. ”

"Go to Shen Zhiluo's side, and then work with him to make Zhou Heshuo a cow and a horse?" Hua Yue smiled, she reached out to straighten her clothes, and stroked it gently, "If you want to go, I'll send you there." ”

With a pale face, Xiao Cai took half a step back, lowered his eyes and said: "The slave doesn't have this mind, but now that Lord Chang has shaken hands with Lord Shen, the people under us have begun to take refuge over there, if you don't plan early, and then want to take revenge in the future, there won't be so many people to help." ”

Hua Yue raised her eyes and asked her seriously: "From beginning to end, I was just an excuse for you to oppose Liang and restore Wei, when did you become willing to avenge me?" ”

The person in front of him froze, stood still and did not move, and after a long time, he said: "Don't forget, without us to cover up, your identity may not be able to hide so well." Yesterday in Yamen, you revealed your identity to someone, and we received the news when we were young. If you feel that you are not in harmony with our Dao, then if Zhou Heshuo notices it, we will not lend a hand. ”

With a chuckle, Hua Yue touched her back: "I was dying last time, and you didn't pull me, so why threaten me now." I really want to break the net, it's a big deal that you sell me, and I will shake you all out, and the remnants of our Great Wei should die together. ”

Xiao Cai looked at her with an extremely frightened expression on her face. Kazuki patted her on the shoulder kindly, then turned around and walked out with a cold expression.

As soon as she stepped out of the kitchen, she reverted to her usual demeanor, as if nothing had happened, and continued to the next place with broken steps and a smile on her face.

Reprimanded the unruly subordinates, and commanded people to repair the old wall that collapsed in the middle of the night, Yin Huayue was busy until the time came, and finally returned to the east courtyard to wait for the third prince to get up.

I don't know why, today's Li Jingyun didn't get up, she only shouted, and the person opened his eyes.

The dark eyes are like pearls caught in a hot spring, and there is a layer of mist in the morning light, which is so good-looking. He just stared at her, motionless.

Hua Yue didn't start, twisted the handkerchief and handed it over. The man reached out and took it, leaned against the side of the bed and asked her, "Where have you been?" ”

She sat down on her knees with a smile, bowed her head and replied: "Although the concubine is rich now, there is no new head of the house to take over, and many things cannot be handed over, so she can only be dealt with by the concubine, so she got up early and went around." ”

Such complicated affairs were just "turning" in her mouth, Li Jingyun snorted lightly and wiped her face lazily.

Hua Yue took a new robe to change into for him, and when she was tidying up her shoulders, she heard him say in a muffled voice: "I really don't have anything to say to my master?" ”

The corners of her lips hooked a kind arc, and she asked him in a kind way: "What about you, do you really have nothing to say to your concubine?" ”

The person in front of him was annoyed, waved away her hand and buckled the belt herself, and her half-closed eyes were pressed: "Don't say it, the master is too lazy to care about you." ”

Smiling, Hua Yue turned around and went out to pour water, but when she came back with a basin of water, she saw a pair of familiar armor in the room.

The blanket was stuffed into the armor and became a red face, and when two copper hairpins were inserted into the face, there was an extremely angry eyebrow.

Li Jingyun went out of the house again, didn't know where she was going, only left this thing, silently accusing his anger.

If it had been before, Hua Yue would have been angry, and if the general came to summon her, she would not be able to explain to anyone.

But I don't know why, thinking back to the first time I saw this scene, and thinking about it now, she thinks it's funny.

The third prince is not the one who can be closed by the walls of this courtyard.

Let him be.

Shaking her head, Hua Yue put down the basin and was about to clean up the table, but as soon as she started, she heard someone running towards her outside, hurrying and panting.

"Oh no." Frostfall grabbed the door frame, glanced inside, and saw that she was the only one, so she hurriedly came in and said, "You go quickly, it's too late!" ”

Hua Yue was a little confused by her panicked appearance: "You make it clear first, where am I going?" ”

Swallowing his saliva, Frost said hurriedly: "The news just came, the slave who knew your identity was originally going to be sent to the frontier, but who expected that he was suddenly taken away by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

With a sinking heart, Hua Yue lowered her eyes: "What did the prince do with a good way to take a minion?" ”

"What else, the slave of the previous dynasty." Frostfall pinched her arm, almost pinching her, "I don't know if they don't speak, how can you casually reveal your identity to others, really think that you are a random fish in the imperial garden, it doesn't matter if you live or die?" ”

After packing up the dishes and chopsticks and folding them into a pile, Hua Yue said helplessly: "I didn't mean to, that person was a person in the West Palace before, and suddenly saw it, and it was useless for me to hide it." ”

Originally, she heard that it was a slave of the previous dynasty, so she just wanted to meet it, try her luck, and thought that it would be good if she could talk about it. Who knew that as soon as he saw Zhuo An, he recognized her, and knelt down in front of her with tears streaming down his face, if it weren't for Liu Chenghe's presence, he would have kowtowed to her.

"He shouldn't betray me." Hua Yue said, "Don't worry. ”

Frostfall poked a finger at her head, as if she wanted to poke a hole in her: "Are you dizzy by men?" If that person is really a loyal slave, can he suddenly betray the eldest princess and sue the Xu family? The new lord is still rebellious, what are you, the old master? ”

"......" The center of her eyebrows twisted, and Kazuki sighed, "I know." ”

"I have already told my wife, just say that you will go back to your hometown to visit relatives, and go out to hide for a few days first, in case you are found out, you will not be arrested in the general's mansion." Frostfall pulled her out, "The carriages and horses are ready, you just have to follow." ”

Pulled by her to stumble, Hanazuki subconsciously glanced back at the armor sitting at the table. But she only had time to take a look, and she was soon stuffed into the carriage, carrying a bag of coils from nowhere, and staggering on the road.

Zhou Heshuo is an extremely suspicious person, once because he suspected that his concubine had eavesdropped on his conversation with Shen Zhiluo, and directly buried people alive, and because he heard the news that his subordinates were going to betray him, he took someone to raid his house.

was assassinated in the East Palace last time, if it weren't for the fact that the person involved was Li Jingyun, Zhou Heshuo would not have given up.

Shen Zhiluo knew this very well, so as soon as he heard the news that Zhuo An had been arrested, he immediately rushed over and wanted to help say a few words.

As a result, Zhou Heshuo only asked two casual questions and settled down.

This is not in line with his usual style, Shen Zhiluo glanced at it, and suddenly realized that he might even be on guard against himself, as long as he was here, Zhou Heshuo would not ask very important questions.

He said that he was sick and took two days off, and Zhou Heshuo readily agreed and sent someone to send him out of the palace.

Shen Zhiluo turned the compass and felt panicked for no reason.

"I knew it was your car."

Halfway through the carriage, a person suddenly jumped up on the wheel, the coachman was so frightened that he reined in the horse, Shen Zhi was defenseless, and his body suddenly leaned forward-

Then he was picked up by Su Miao.

She was carrying a bunch of things in her arms, and in order to pick him up, she fell into the carriage with a bang. Su Miao didn't mind, rubbed the side of his face, pinched his scattered ink hair and chuckled: "Miss me so much?" ”

Pushing her away in annoyance, Shen Zhiluo said, "Why do you get into someone else's car casually." ”

"You're someone else, too?" Reaching out to pick up a few paper bags on the ground, Su Miao opened one with his hand, took out a fan pendant and made a gesture on his compass, "I just bought something and want to give it to you." ”

Shen Zhiluo felt ridiculous: "Miss Su, this is my destiny, not anyone's son's folding fan, it is impossible to hang worldly things." ”

"Uh-huh." Su Miao responded perfunctorily, looked at her eyes and said, "It's quite suitable, I'll hang it up for you." ”

Shen Zhiluo suspected that she couldn't understand human speech at all.

Rushing to find Yin Huayue, Su Miao's sudden appearance made him feel irritable, and even his tone was not very good: "Wasn't Miss still with the squire from the military department yesterday?" Send him to do something, use it to provoke me to do something. ”

The willow eyebrows were high, and Su Miaole was happy: "Are you jealous?" Danli and I just happened to meet, and we didn't go to the same place on purpose. ”

What about Dan Li, a serious girl, will come up and call people's words?

Shen Zhiluo took back the compass to avoid her, and said coldly: "Does it happen that it has nothing to do with Zaixia, Zai Xia is busy running errands, and he also asks the young lady to get out of the car." ”

"Take me with you." Su Miao said with crooked eyebrows, "I promise not to get in the way, I'll be outside where you go, and when you're done, I'll take you to eat the newly opened tavern side dishes on Luohua Street." ”

"Get out of the car." He was unmoved.

Su Miao sighed, folded her hands, and begged: "I haven't seen you for two days, so indulge me today, okay?" ”

Rubbing the corners of his forehead with a headache, Shen Zhiluo said in a deep voice: "It's okay if you don't get out of the car, it just so happens that I want to go to the General's Mansion." ”

"Go to my cousin?" Su Miao asked with a smile on her face.

Shaking his head, Shen Zhiluo looked at her and said, "Go find Yin Huayue." ”

“……”

The delicate face was stunned for a moment, the red lips pursed up, and soon let go again, Su Miao sighed and muttered in a low voice: "Don't blame me for not persuading you, my cousin has never paid attention to anyone for so many years, just this little sister-in-law, he is in his heart, if you go to the little sister-in-law again and again, he will get angry and will not be able to fight with you." ”

With a light snort, Shen Zhiluo turned his head to look out the window: "Your cousin is a person who does great things, and he looks deeply affectionate, but when it comes to making a choice, Yin Huayue will only be the one who is abandoned." ”

Her mouth bulged, and Su Miao was dissatisfied: "He won't." ”

"There's no reason for me to gamble with you on whether your cousin will be willing to take a human life." He shook his head disinterestedly, "All I have to do is save people before he gives up." ”

Fiddling with the fan pendant in his hand, Su Miao smiled lowly: "There are always people who say that you are ruthless and cold-blooded, you should show them, when you want to protect a person, the great priest is also flesh and blood." ”

She seemed to be sad, but two more dimples appeared on her face, and they were as sweet as honey.

Shen Zhiluo glanced at her.

Su Miao hugged the scattered paper bags back into his arms, hugged them one by one, and then put the fan pendant on his side, waved his hand and said: "I suddenly remembered that Danli said that he wanted to invite me to lunch, but I still won't go back first, you see Huayue, say hello for me." ”

After saying that, he got up, and the bright red skirt was raised, and it rolled down the wheel like a flower in the hot sun. Standing still next to the car, she smiled and waved at him.

The coachman outside was a little at a loss, turned his head to look inside and asked, "Lord Shen?" ”

Shen Zhiluo watched the red disappear into the crowd with a cold face, retracted his gaze, and said calmly: "Keep walking." ”

The wheels ran forward for some distance and then came to a sudden stop.

Shen Zhiluo opened the curtain and came down, and his light purple pupils swept back, full of displeasure.

"Your Excellency?" The coachman stuck his head out to look at him.

"That's it." Exhaling lightly, Shen Zhiluo waved his hand, "You go back first, I'll go for a walk." ”

“…… Be. ”

The traffic was busy, and the voices were boiling, and it didn't take long to drown out the back of Zitang. Mist rose from the freshly unopened steamer on the side of the street, and wisps of it dispersed like clouds into the sky.

It was sunny for a moment in the morning, but it was a little gloomy by noon. Kazuki stood in the courtyard of the annex, listening to the first few people in the house arguing.

"What can you do if you don't want to? His Majesty's seal is in Shen Zhiluo's hands, only he can gather the scattered old departments, if you don't connect with him, will we just do it alone? ”

"What's wrong with going it alone? It's been so many years. ”

"yes, I came here, and then I didn't even touch the corner of someone's clothes." The old man's voice was hoarse and angry, "It's better now, the little ancestor can reveal his identity by himself, Zhou and Shuo Shang only heard the rumors, but the guards under his command are thinking about meritorious service." Wait for someone to take her life, and then you can say what's wrong. ”

"You're a tendon." Another voice was also angry, "Who can find this place?" Besides, with her here, we don't need to look for it, Shen Zhiluo will come to the door sooner or later. ”

Listening to it boringly, Hanatsuki yawned and looked at the dark clouds overhead.

One of the two people in it is the former head of the palace, and the other is her nurse, since she left the palace, the two have used her name to privately snarn the remnants of the Great Wei, thinking of recovering the Wei and regaining the rivers and mountains.

However, in their eyes, she may be similar to the seal in Shen Zhiluo's hand, there is the best, it doesn't matter if there is not, no one can stop the two of them yearning for power.

They didn't come here to care about her, they just wanted to quarrel, and then reminded her to stop causing trouble, she had been targeted by the guards around the prince, and if there was any more trouble, they would just give her up and go to Shen Zhiluo.

Katsuki looked at them calmly, without any waves in her heart.

It is impossible for the fallen dynasty to come back to life, and when her father fell in front of her, he never said that he would let her take on the responsibility of reviving the Yin family. The reason why Kazuki didn't object to their actions was only because she wanted to kill Zhou and Shuo, and they happened to have this goal as well.

But for now, they can't be trusted.

When Manager Sun and Yin Ru finished arguing and looked up, Hua Yue was looking up at the magnolia flowers on the branches, her side face was demure and soft, gentle and elegant, as if she was not listening to them at all.

Sighing helplessly, Yin Ru shook her head: "Don't expect anything from her, the little master who grew up pampered and used to growing up can't become another climate except for being willful." ”

In this matter, Sun Yaozu and Yin Ru reached a rare agreement, and stomped their feet at her with hatred, and the two left from the moon gate together.

The courtyard fell silent, the magnolia on the branches was a little defeated, and the soft petals fell, right on the palm of her hand.

After staring at her twice, she suddenly thought, if Li Jingyun returned to the mansion and found that she was gone, would she be a little anxious?

Realizing that she was thinking about something vain again, Hua Yue smiled and gently knocked on the door of her head: "It can't be any other climate." ”

The sky was completely overcast, and soon it began to rain, and the rain crackled on the eaves, obscuring her whispers and the sudden sound of small footsteps outside the courtyard walls.
