However, neither Xu Hao nor Kang Le noticed in this dim sky that on the roof of a private house two hundred steps away from here, a tall young man with an oil coat on his hand was standing there, condescendingly overlooking the scene of their meeting.

Whether it was the confrontation between Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu before, Liu Jingxuan's departure, or the meeting between Xu Hao and Kang Le at this time, they were all in his eyes, and because of this, Zhou Jiyue felt that she had a little headache.

Because of Xiao Jingxian's words, she tried to stare at Liu Jingxuan when she went out, but she knew that Liu Jingxuan was not so easy to stare, so she chose this commanding heights after tiptoeing far behind and finding that people had entered this mansion.

But how did she know that she would see such a complicated situation next!

Wasn't Xu Hao left in Jinling by Yue Qianqiu, how could he be here? Also, who is the woman in black who met Liu Jingxuan and Xu Hao successively? The trajectory of the knife just now, she felt palpitations when she looked at it from afar, what kind of sacredness was that!

Just when she couldn't help but reach out to rub her temples, she only heard a cold voice from behind her: "Being able to choose such a good place, even Liu Jingxuan didn't even realize it, it is worthy of being the sect master of the White Lotus Sect for so many years." ”

Zhou Jiyue only felt a chill in the tail vertebrae explode suddenly, and the whole person even subconsciously wanted to bounce up. However, when the hand rested easily on her shoulder, she couldn't help but give up on fighting back, and then realized who it was. She smiled bitterly, and said helplessly and frustratedly: "Uncle Ying, Qianqiu has been looking for you for a long time, so you are really here." ”

Yue Ying let go of his hand and stepped forward to stand side by side with Zhou Jiyue, his side face was as expressionless as usual, but those who were familiar with him could see a shallow smile from that indifference. Obviously, he was in a good mood at the moment.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the second prince of the country, leaving a large team of carriages and horses to travel, if there are not a few reliable people to follow, the emperor will not be at ease. So not only did I come, but there were also a few guards who could be trusted by the emperor to follow secretly all the way. Yue Ying explained a few words, and saw that Xu Hao had already left the house where Kang Le was temporarily staying, and the two black lacquer doors had been closed, so he turned his head sideways.

"That is one of the most trusted henchmen of the Northern Yan Emperor, Shang Gong Kangle, Qianqiu has seen him before. Now that Xu Hao has gone to see her, she will definitely go out to the Taishou Mansion to ask for a meeting in a while. After you go back, wait at the gate of the Taishou Mansion and take her to His Royal Highness the Prince. Yue Ying paused, and then added, "This matter was reported to the emperor by the old lady, and the emperor agreed, so you don't have to worry." ”

Although with the canonization of the little fat man as the crown prince, no one dares to rumor his life history doubts, but there are always people behind the scenes who will mumble, and there is not only one little fat man who thinks a lot. And Zhou Jiyue happened to be the first person to hear about the letter. Because Yue Qianqiu retold it to her word for word, plus the fact that the head of the Jiawang Mansion, Shi put the little fat man and Yue Qianqiu together when he was blatantly troubled, of course she knew what Yue Ying said to let Kang Le go to see the little fat man represented.

She took a light breath, a little embarrassed, and a little unbearable to say, "Really? ”

"Instead of doubting each other, it is better to see each other." Yue Ying also sighed in the same way, "This is the emperor's original words, the old lady asked me to tell Qianqiu, you can tell him for me." The old lady also said that Qianqiu's temperament actually followed the fourth master, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been with him for so long, and he unconsciously followed Qianqiu, otherwise, he would not dare to let the emperor gamble on this bet. ”

Knowing that there was no room for this matter, Zhou Jiyue could only smile bitterly. Seeing that Kang Le hadn't gone out yet, she said goodbye to Yue Ying, and finally turned around and left quickly, hoping that she would never be able to wait for this one at the gate of Taishou Mansion.

And Yue Ying didn't leave immediately, but stood silently and waited for a while, until Kang Le changed out of the black clothes like mourning clothes, and changed into a blue shirt, at first glance, it looked a little more graceful, and seeing that she hurriedly pulled out a horse and went out, he kicked lightly, and the whole person rushed out like a sharp arrow.

Soon after, he climbed over the wall and appeared in this temporary house in Kangle. Deftly looking around, he easily avoided a few small pitfalls, and finally came to the main house in the center, which was obviously supposed to be a place for recreation. He stretched out his hand and pressed it against the door, but he only pressed the temptation like this, and did not rush in, and only after a long time did he snort softly.

Did you do more than one thing on the door, was it because you were worried that someone would break in, or was there something else important in the house?

Although it was not difficult to disarm these mechanisms, Yue Ying was only here to investigate, and he did not intend to startle the snake, so he took a few steps back and ran up to the roof, carefully removing a few tiles, and finally determined the general condition of the interior furnishings and utensils, he muttered for a moment, and then immediately left quietly without hesitation.

And Zhou Jiyue took a shortcut and returned to Taishou Mansion as quickly as possible, but learned that Xiao Jingxian did not come back, and Yue Qianqiu did not come back either. The sudden rain had stopped, and it was completely dark, so while she wondered where the two had gone so late after parting ways, she couldn't help but be anxious about whether the Shang Gong Kangle mentioned by Yue Ying would come.

Soon, her little bit of luck was gone. Because after a sound of horses' hooves from far and near, a rider stopped steadily in front of the gate of the Taishou Mansion. Seeing the middle-aged woman who was dressed completely different from what she had seen before, even if the other party did not speak, when the other party jumped down and walked calmly in front of her, she still realized that it should be the other party.

"Da Yan Shang Palace is happy, I want to see His Royal Highness the Prince of Southern Wu."

In the face of such an unmistakable disclosure of identity, Zhou Jiyue couldn't even do what she wanted to say to Yue Ying. And what distressed her the most was that Yue Qianqiu, who was the most able to deal with this situation and had the greatest influence on the little fat man, did not come back. But now she couldn't delay, because a few of the guards in front of the door had heard it clearly.

So, she also bowed her head slightly calmly and said, "Kangshang Palace comes with me." ”

Knowing the affairs of His Royal Highness the Prince, the left and right guards can be the master of most of them, so several guards from the Bazhou Army glanced at each other, although they all had a ridiculous feeling, but seeing Zhou Jiyue bring people in, they hesitated, but in the end they still did not stop it. It's just that when the two people in front of them and the other behind walked away, some people flew and ran out.

There is no doubt that he went to report this unexpected news to Liu Jingxuan. Even with the level of these ordinary elite guards, they would not know who the so-called Beiyan Shanggong Kang Le was, but Kang Le's bearing was extraordinary, and they could still see it.

Although the Taishou Mansion is large, because Zhou Jiyue personally brought Kang Le in, the guards on the door only had time to report to Liu Jingxuan, and they did not dare to cross Zhou Jiyue, the prince's right guard, to report to His Royal Highness the Prince. In addition, both of them are very fast, one after the other at this time, but they have already come to the inner study where the little fat man lives temporarily.

When she arrived at the door, Zhou Jiyue heard the big voice of the little fat man: "You are all right, from the beginning of its establishment, the Bazhou Rongchang was under the jurisdiction of the Bazhou Taishou Mansion, but Liu Jingxuan was also right, the defenders were transferred from the Bazhou General's Mansion from the beginning, and they were bought by Zhang Qian before, so that they were embarrassed with him, so Liu Jingxuan wanted to bring the defenders of the Rongchang under the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion, which is justified." ”

Without waiting for anyone to suggest or refute, the little fat man announced domineeringly: "This matter has been carefully considered, and the defenders have been assigned to the General's Mansion." As for rectifying the field, Liu Jingxuan already had an idea, but since he was acting as the Taishou, he would not listen to him all, so he had to visit in person and implement it carefully. As for the profiteers...... No one is allowed to speak for them! ”

The little fat man who raised his voice was simply roaring at the moment: "Lone saw it with his own eyes, heard with his own ears that they reversed black and white, framed Zhongliang, and were insatiable, and now they still have the face to beg for mercy?" If you want to get away with the crime, you can, hand over the money for the rebuilding of the field, and you will not be allowed to step into all the fields on the border for half a step for another year, this is the punishment they deserve! If it weren't for the Iron Cavalry Club Master Peng and Miss Feng interceding for them, hmph, just these shameless guys, all of them should be damned! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Jiyue couldn't help but glance back at Kang Le, and saw that her eyes were shining, and she clearly praised the little fat man's words just now, so she didn't delay any longer, and personally stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then shouted: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the little fat man came from inside again: "Okay, these things have been dealt with today, everyone has worked hard, let's go back and rest first." If there is something wrong, I will send someone to invite you to come and discuss. Nowadays, you must remember not to rush everything, so as not to overkill, and don't forget to take care of your body, don't get tired! ”

Knowing that the people inside would come out in three moments, Zhou Jiyue turned sideways and got out of the way. Sure enough, with the sound of thanks, the door of the study was opened by Qing Fengnian in the next moment, followed by several Confucian scholars of the same age, everyone would bow their heads after seeing her, and at the same time curiously glanced at Kang Le, who was quietly hidden behind her at the moment, but no one opened their mouths to ask indiscriminately.

It wasn't until a few people were seen away that Zhou Jiyue entered the house. found that Kang Le did not follow up rashly, she thought to herself that it was the person who once served by the side of Emperor Beiyan, and the word rules was probably engraved in her bones. She first gestured to Qing Fengnian, signaling him not to close the door, and then went straight to the desk near the window.

"Sister Zhou, you and Qianqiu are good, they all went out for a walk, leaving me alone to deal with so many troublesome things, you are too unrighteous!" The little fat man complained half-jokingly and half-seriously, and when he saw Zhou Jiyue's helpless expression, he smiled and said, "It's just a joke with you, I'm getting better now, I can do it without you!" ”

"It's just that we know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can handle it without us, so that we can go out with confidence." Zhou Jiyue said as she raised her hand solemnly and said, "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness, I rashly brought someone back to see you." ”

The little fat man suddenly heard Zhou Jiyue's solemn tone, and couldn't help but wonder a little, but he was sitting staggered because the outsiders were gone, but he sat up straight unconsciously: "Who did you bring to see me?" ”

"Beiyan Shang Palace, Kangle."

This is a rather unfamiliar name for the little fat man. But even if he has only been the prince for less than a month, he has been a prince for so many years, and he still knows what the word Shanggong means. That is the person who stands at the highest point of the entire female official system, the previous letter to Yue Qianqiu, the truth is unknown, signed Ding An, it is said that he was also the Northern Yanshang Palace.

Therefore, he sat awe-inspiringly, without the intention of joking and joking just now, and nodded and said, "You bring her in." ”

Kang Le, who was at the door, was blocked by Qing Fengnian, so he couldn't see the prince of Dawu sitting under the east window clearly, and could only hear his voice. From the anger and majesty when facing her subordinates at the beginning, to the closeness and informality when facing Zhou Jiyue, and then to the composure when she was talking to her at the moment, she roughly sketched the image of the other party in her heart, until Zhou Jiyue appeared in front of her again.

"Kangshang Palace comes with me."

Zhou Jiyue turned around to lead the way in front, and after hearing that after Kang Le entered the house, the footsteps immediately became extremely light, but then suddenly became heavy again, and then stopped, she couldn't help but feel a sudden in her heart, and she actually glanced back regardless of etiquette. Sure enough, she saw Kang Le stop in disbelief, his eyes staring at the side face of the little fat man.

Thinking that Xiao Jingxian, as the younger brother of Empress Beiyan, didn't have a big reaction when she saw the little fat man, she couldn't help but be very suspicious of Kang Le's gaffe, and immediately coughed and reminded: "Kangshang Palace!" ”

Kang Le just woke up from a dream, she didn't care about Zhou Jiyue's reproachful expression, walked a few steps quickly to the front of the little fat man, and looked deeply at the other party again, then bowed her head and curtsied and said, "I've seen Prince Wu." ”

It was the first time for the little fat man to hear someone call himself like this, and he felt fresh and a little embarrassed at the same time. However, he also saw the other party's gaffe just now, and he couldn't help but feel complicated for a while. Before, he asked Master Yue to send such a fatal private message to Yue Qianqiu, even after being scolded by Yue Qianqiu, he said that he would give up the pursuit of his life experience, but he couldn't let it go easily.

Therefore, even if he knew that the origin of this woman who claimed to be Beiyan Shanggong was unknown at this moment, he still asked politely: "What is the matter with Kangshang Palace?" ”

"More than ten years ago, I used to serve Empress Wenwu's Shang Palace, and after Empress Wenwu passed away, I have served Emperor Dayan to this day. Although it is a bit arrogant to claim to be like this, compared to those who remain with the emperor now, I am the real confidant. Kang Le saw that the little fat man's eyes suddenly widened, and he kept looking her up and down, so she continued to speak.

"When Yue Qianqiu sent an envoy to Dayan, the emperor was interested in him for some reason, and even commensurate with his father and son when he was in Weifu, but I never believed that he was the little prince born to Empress Wenwu. But today is clearly the first time I have seen Prince Wu, but I feel that if the son of Empress Wenwu is still in this world, then it must be Prince Wu! ”
