Zhang You accompanied Zhu Yijun to go out of the palace and return home after dinner, and when he got home, the sun had already set, and the gate had already lit the air lantern.

Li Shuo's house was very lively, Lan Qi, Mary, Li, plus Li Shuo, the hostess, sat around the kang table and played double land, Zhang You opened the curtain and entered, but no one paid attention to him.

"Where's Garlene?" Looking around and not seeing Zhang Jialin's figure, Zhang You couldn't help asking.

"I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the afternoon, look at this hour, I should be back soon." Li Shi stared at the chessboard, her eyelids were not raised, there was a pile of copper plates in front of her, and it seemed that her luck was not bad.

Lan Qi actually has no interest in Shuanglu, but she is accompanying her to give advice, and she doesn't really participate, but Mary, probably because she has just learned, is very addicted, and now she is playing against the Li family, and she has no time to deal with Zhang You.

"Zicheng, why don't you look so good?" Li Shuo didn't participate either, and after pointing Li Shi to take a step, he raised his eyes to look at Zhang You and asked.

"Isn't it good? Why didn't I feel it, maybe I was a little tired after a busy day, you guys were playing, so late, I went to greet Jialin. Zhang You said, quietly winked at Lan Qi, then turned around and went out, and after waiting for a while, Lan Qi really followed.

"What's wrong, Zicheng?"

Zhang You didn't answer Lan Qi's question immediately, but took her hand until he came out of Li Shuo's small courtyard, then leaned over to the weeping willow at the door and told her about Zhang Whale's death.

How can you say that death is death? All kinds of scenes appeared in Lan Qi's mind in the past, and she was stunned for a long time before she felt that her nose was sour, and tears poured out like a flood that burst the embankment.

Lan Qi is a kind-hearted woman, and Zhang You has long expected this situation. He didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only stretch out his arms and gently take her into his arms, expressing his understanding of her mood at the moment.

"I'm sorry Zicheng, I ......" The tears gradually stopped, Lan Qi was shocked and said ashamedly.

Relaxing his embrace, Zhang You stretched out his hand to cover Lan Qi's mouth: "Needless to say, I don't blame you, a husband and wife for a hundred days, even if Zhang Whale is not a thousand things, after all, you two are husband and wife, if you are not sad at all, I feel scared." ”

"Don't you really care about my past with him? I'm just a broken flower, to be honest, although you are very good to me, I always feel unsteady. Maybe it was because the news of Zhang Whale's death relaxed Lan Qi's defenses, such worries have been in her heart since she lived in Zhang's mansion, and after holding back for so long, she finally couldn't help but say it.

"You don't believe it if you don't care at all, but you just hate to meet too late." Zhang You said, thought about it and said: "Actually, I'm quite guilty, I should let you be my wife, but after all, I have a marriage contract with Jia Lin, and their family is very good to me, if it's ......"

"Don't talk about Zicheng," Lan Qi interrupted Zhang You: "I understand what you mean, if you have this heart, I am already very content, as for the name or something, in fact, I don't care at all...... Jia Lin is a good girl, if you give up on her and choose me, I will look down on you. ”

Zhang You smiled and said: "Hearing you say this, I am relieved, I was worried that you would blame me, but today because of you, I made the Queen Mother angry again." ”

Lan Qi was very curious, and hurriedly inquired about what was going on, Zhang You told her about his rejection of the Empress Dowager Li, and finally said: "I don't know what's going on, the Empress Dowager is very strange today, my father-in-law said that she knew that I liked you, and promised not to interfere, but today I don't know what's wrong, I heard Your Majesty say that he wants to give you to me, and the reaction is particularly strong." ”

"I guess I'm still angry with you, after all, Chunfang has also been with her for many years, you say kill her, and now she wants to snatch me away from her, I can't accept it for a while, and there are some. Don't worry, now that I recognize you, I won't change my mind. ”

"Well," Zhang You nodded, and his mood suddenly improved: "How can you not be in a hurry?" I'm 20 years old this year, as the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, my mother is still in a hurry to hold her grandson......" As he spoke, he reached out and took Lan Qi into his arms, kissing with his lips, his two hands were not honest, groping wildly, and soon, his lower body reacted.

Feeling the firmness of Zhang You's lower body, Lan Qi was soft, fluttering like in the clouds, almost leaving Zhang Whale behind.

Thinking of Zhang Whale, his hot body cooled down instantly, pushed Zhang You away hard, and said with a breath: "Don't make a fool of yourself, it's not good for Madame to see it for a while...... Let's get down to business, Zhang Whale died so suddenly, or died of poisoning, if my expectations are good, there must be some conspiracy behind this. ”

Hearing Lan Qi say this, Zhang You's desire instantly subsided, his expression became serious, and he said: "I think so too, but I can't guess for a while what the purpose of the person who poisoned and killed Zhang Whale was. ”

"Could it be against you? After all, you have the best motive to kill him. Lan Qi speculated.

Zhang You said: "Probably not, after all, I have interceded for Zhang Whale in front of His Majesty and in front of the Queen Mother, plus Your Majesty's trust in me, but anyone who has a little brain, knows that such a little trick can't move me at all." ”

"What you said makes sense, but it's not against you, but at whom?"

"Maybe it's against Gonggong Feng, the fact that he and Gonggong Feng don't see each other is known to the world, and his death is the most affected by Gonggong Feng."

Lan Qi nodded and echoed: "Your suspicions are not unreasonable, in fact, the relationship between him and Gonggong Feng was quite good at the beginning, the reason why he was suspicious was because of the concurrent errand of the 'Zhidong Factory', and later he and Zhang Cheng joined forces to investigate Gonggong Feng. ”

Speaking of this, Lan Qi sighed and said with some regret: "I once advised him not to go against Gonggong Feng, he promised on the surface, but in fact, he simply took my words as a deaf ear. He was too cautious, too jealous, too ambitious, and too narrow-minded, which led to today's ending. ”

"Yes, character determines fate, and some things are actually decided early on." Zhang You sighed with emotion, remembering the true ending of Zhang Whale in history, after he overthrew Feng Bao, he really became the factory of Dongchang for a few years, but in the end, because of corruption, he followed in the footsteps of Feng Bao, and was sent by Wanli to Ming Xiaoling to plant vegetables, and he did not laugh to the end.

"Your Majesty said that after the murderer is found, he will be buried thickly, and when the time comes, if you want, go and send him!"

"Hmm!" Lan Qi snorted like a mosquito, sighed faintly, leaned into Zhang You's arms, and slowly closed his eyes.
