"Miss Liu, where are you staying now?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"If you go back to Your Highness, the folk girl lives in an inn in Xicheng." Liu Ru had a smile on her face, because Jiang Chuan agreed to help, so her voice was a lot happier.

Jiang Chuan felt a little reluctant in his heart, feeling that he might not deceive her.

Xicheng is said to belong to the slums in the capital, and the inns in Xicheng are also the cheapest inns, often all of which are large shops, and the conditions are very poor. The people who can live there are all low-level people.

"In this way, Brother Ling's matter may be news soon. You may as well stay in the palace these days. I can also keep you informed as soon as there is news. Besides, Xicheng is a place where the fish and dragons are mixed, and the three religions and nine streams are gathered, it is really not suitable for you to live there as a weak woman. Jiang Chuan looked at Liu and said.

Liu Ru was stunned, she obviously didn't expect that the dignified regent would personally invite her to live in the palace?

From Jiangnan to Beizhili, she has also experienced hardships along the way, seen a lot of ugly things in the world, and knows how attractive her appearance will be to men.

Jiang Chuan's sudden invitation made her think of a possibility in an instant.

Although she doesn't dislike Jiang Chuan, she even has some good feelings. But I originally came to him to help find my brother, but why did it suddenly become that I was going to live in the palace?

But the eyes of the regent on the other side were clear and peaceful, and there was no such obscenity, which was obviously not the reason he thought.

And the environment in that place in Xicheng is really bad, if it weren't for saving money, she wouldn't choose to live there.

Jiang Chuan looked at her stunned, and probably knew what she would think in her heart, but he didn't plan to give her a chance to refuse, so he got up and said, "That's it, this king still has something to do." Qi Xuan will help you with everything. ”

After speaking, Jiang Chuan nodded to Liu Ru and walked out of the living room steadily.

Liu Ru also forgot to say the words of refusal at this time, and hurriedly bowed down in the back: "The people's daughter sends His Highness to him." ”

When she got up, she couldn't see Jiang Chuan anymore, but she was a little at a loss in her heart, not knowing what she should do.

Although His Highness didn't make any excessive requests, but it was a good thing for himself, Liu still felt that something was wrong.

But what His Highness said also made sense, she really wanted to know her brother's news earlier.

If she doesn't agree, will His Highness be angry, and will he not help him find his brother?

Liu Ru fell into a hesitation for a while.

Qi Xuan floated in, walked to Liu Ruis and laughed softly: "Sister Liu, do you want to live in the palace?" ”

Liu Ru was told that her mind was broken, her face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "Little sister is grateful for His Royal Highness's kindness, but my little sister lived in the palace when she first came to the palace, which is really a bit out of courtesy." ”

Qi Xuan knew her true thoughts, and she didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "If my sister is okay at this time, accompany me to the back garden for a walk." ”

Liu Ru was not easy to refuse, and she also had a good impression of Qi Xuan, so she walked out with Qi Xuan.

The defense of the entire palace is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and it looks heavily guarded from the outside, but there are basically not too many guards in the palace except for the council hall where Jiang Chuan usually works and the sleeping place, and there are guards in the rest of the palace.

It's not that there isn't, it's just that even if there is, it's hidden in the shadows, and it's not very visible.

Jiang Chuan didn't want his palace to be like a military camp, full of sentry posts, which was almost the same as going to prison.

Qi Xuan took Liu Ru for a walk in the palace, talking and laughing as the two of them walked.

"Sister, after you came into contact with His Highness today, what kind of person do you think His Highness is?" Qi Xuan asked with a smile.

"Sister Qi, how can Your Highness be evaluated by the little sister at will." Liu Ru was slightly stunned, and hurriedly shook her head.

"His Royal Highness raised troops from Liaodong, destroyed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, conquered Korea, Mongolia. Later, he entered the king of Guanqin, expelled Li Zicheng from the north, exterminated the Japanese in the East China Sea, and suppressed the bandits in the north, and now the entire Zhongzhou mainland has recovered more than half, which can be said to be a great martial art, and no one can compare. In the DPRK and China, he purged the traitorous party and traitors several times, and vigorously promoted the fiat currency. Everyone in the world thinks that His Royal Highness is a hard-hearted, decisive, cold-blooded and ruthless person. ”

Qi Xuan looked at Liu Ruis when she said this, and asked, "Sister, do you see it this way too?" ”

"Although the little sister has only one relationship with His Highness, she feels that His Highness is not a ruthless person. If it weren't for that, His Highness wouldn't have agreed to help me find my brother. Liu thought for a moment and replied softly.

Qi Xuan smiled and said, "Sister Liu, in fact, what outsiders see is what His Highness wants them to see." In today's troubled times, jackals, tigers and leopards have risen one after another, if it weren't for a hero like His Royal Highness, who would be able to clean up this mess? However, few people know that His Royal Highness is actually a man with a very soft heart. ”

A man with a soft heart? Liu Ru looked at Qi Xuan with some surprise, I don't know how she could use such words to evaluate that Highness?

"Surprised? And you probably think that I must have an unusual relationship with His Highness, right? Or do you think that Your Highness has already pampered me to trust me so much? Qi Xuan looked at Liu Rus, smiled and said softly.

Liu Ru is face flushed, she did think so.

Qi Xuan's appearance is no worse than herself, and she has been by the regent's side for a long time. Besides, both of them are young men and women, and Qi Xuan is so trusted, she can't tell a story without a story.

Looking at her appearance, Qi Xuan also knew that she had guessed correctly, and smiled disapprovingly: "Actually, many people think like this, or people who don't think like this will be strange." ”

Liu Ru smiled awkwardly and waited for Qi Xuan's next step.

"His Royal Highness is young and heroic, and he is at the top of the empire, and outsiders think that His Highness must be surrounded by beautiful women like clouds, singing every night. But the people around His Highness know that His Highness is not the kind of person who covets women. From Liaodong to the capital, His Royal Highness has always treated me with courtesy, and has never acted indiscriminately. For the other women around him, His Highness treats him the same. Moreover, His Royal Highness has not accepted a concubine so far, and he has always been alone. Qi Xuan said this, but there seemed to be a little melancholy in her tone.

Liu Ru showed a surprised expression, obviously Qi Xuan's words made her very surprised and surprised.

"But, Sister Qi, you, don't you like Your Highness?" Liu Ru was stunned for a moment and then asked in a low voice.

"A lot of things aren't as simple as you think. Actually, I was also rescued by His Royal Highness in Liaodong back then. If it weren't for Your Highness, I would have been a pile of bones by now. I have never said these things to anyone, and if you want to hear them, I will tell you. ”

Qi Xuan sighed, pulled Liu Ru to sit down on the stone bench in the stone pavilion in the back garden, looked at the sky with his eyes, and fell into a look of memory.
