Chapter 145: The Heart of Gain and Loss

Wushuang was drunk back by Wuchen, and naturally he didn't dare to say anything more.

It's just that a pair of round eyes are always staring at Chu Xingyue tightly, like a loyal dog, but whenever she finds that she has a disadvantage to her master, she will pounce.

Wuchen looked at Chu Xingyue and explained, "Don't listen to his nonsense, princess, I just heard that King Ling is about to leave the capital on order and wants to do his best, so I asked to go together." ”

Of course, Chu Xingyue knew who was telling the truth and who was telling polite words between the two.

glanced at Wushuang, whose eyes were bulging like a cow, and said to Wuchen, "Master, you and I both know each other's details, so don't say these polite words anymore; This princess is curious about what Master Wushuang said just now, Master, you have never asked about the world, how did you know that this Jeju party would not be peaceful, and took the initiative to jump out to protect us. ”

Wuchen glanced at Wushuang beside him with a little reproach, and Wushuang quickly lowered his head and put on a teachable appearance; Wuchen has always had no temper with such a matchless, so he could only tell the truth to Chu Xingyue.

"Although I live in the temple all the year round, it does not mean that I don't know what is going on outside, and now that Jeju is in a disaster, whoever is in charge of this disaster relief is equivalent to who has a hot potato; In addition, King Ling's special status is very good, and many people in the court have a lot of opinions about him, and it is not difficult to guarantee that no one will take this opportunity to do anything to embarrass him; I went down the mountain this time, but I just did my best to obey the fate of heaven. ”

"What a good one, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven."

Chu Xingyue glanced at Wuchen, who looked unstained with red dust, and directly poked at the faint trace that he had hidden in the depths of his heart, "In the eyes of this princess, you can't bear to watch Concubine Yang's only son being persecuted." ”

Hearing the word 'Concubine Yang', Wuchen's heart ached fiercely, and even the eyes that looked at Chu Xingyue were complicated.

Wushuang couldn't hold back any longer, jumped out and pointed at Chu Xingyue and shouted, "Nuwa, who gave you the courage to dare to speak to our Highness like this?" ”

Chu Xingyue also replied unceremoniously, "What? Aren't others allowed to tell the truth? ”

Chu Xingyue looked at Wuchen with sharp eyes, and continued: "You should know that Zhao Ling is now wary of you, and you jumped out at this time, isn't it just to make him more vigilant against you?" I once told you that I wouldn't care what your feelings for Concubine Yang were, and even help you hide everything you had in the Zhigui Forest, all I wanted was to let Zhao Ling get involved in the grievances of your previous generation; But have you listened to my words in your heart? ”

Wuchen immediately understood why Chu Xingyue was so secretive to him, it turned out that she was worried that her true identity would be exposed, which would affect Zhao Ling.

Wuchen couldn't help but chuckle and looked at her honestly.

"To be honest, during this time, Zhao Ling sent a lot of people to Longquan Temple, wanting to break into the Zhigui Forest to find out; However, if the formation I set up myself was broken so easily, how could it be justified? Therefore, what the princess is worried about will definitely not happen. ”

"Besides, this time I went to Jeju, I did have a heart of help, and I would never cause any trouble to King Ling; I know exactly what the princess wants to do with King Ling, and I, with the heart of King Ling, must know something about the princess; Even for the sake of Rui'er's face, I won't let her only son have an accident because of us. ”

Since the two of them had spoken so clearly, Chu Xingyue didn't say anything more, but asked him another thing curiously, "You mean, Zhao Ling is still holding on to the matter of Longquan Temple?" ”

She always thought that as long as she left Longquan Temple, Zhao Ling would withdraw her curiosity from Longquan Temple, but she didn't expect him to be so persistent, and he has sent people to stare at Longquan Temple so far.

A helpless smile appeared on Wuchen's face, nodded, and said, "King Ling seems to have learned from others that there is a tomb hidden in the Zhigui Forest, and he is very curious about who the owner of that tomb is, so he keeps sending people to try to break in; In addition, the prince learned from the mouth of the princess that my identity was not ordinary, and he was even more wary of Longquan Temple, and now the secret guards of King Ling's Mansion have been sent to the temple, and they are thinking of ways to get news from me day and night. ”

When Chu Xingyue heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

At the beginning, she told Zhao Ling about Wuchen's suspicious identity, just to make him be a little more wary of the people around him, but she didn't expect Zhao Ling to bite Wuchen tightly.

And because the relationship between Wuchen and Concubine Yang is really complicated, she can't tell him the truth, so she will make the situation like this.

"I never mentioned to him about the tomb of Zhiguilin, it may be that Chunxing told him about it; He has always been a tough person, and if he wants to find out, I'm afraid few people will be able to hide the matter under his nose. ”

"Rest assured, Princess, I will take care of this matter; At present, I also ask the princess to tell King Ling about my going to Jeju with me, hoping that King Ling will agree. ”

As long as Wuchen didn't have any dissent, he wanted to go to Jeju with him, but Chu Xingyue was willing to take him with him.

At the moment, the future of the journey to Jeju is uncertain, and bringing a few more helpers with you can also increase the certainty of victory, even if it is to save your life, bringing Wuchen and the great monk called Wushuang can also increase a sense of security.

Therefore, Chu Xingyue thought about it for a while, and made a promise to Wuchen on the spot, "This matter is handed over to this princess to tell Zhao Ling that we will leave the capital tomorrow, and we will ask the master to take care of it all the way." ”

Wuchen seemed to have expected that Chu Xingyue would agree to him, so after performing the Buddha ceremony, he led Wushuang away.

said that he would go back to explain to the people in the temple, and take care of Zhiguilin and Longquan Temple carefully.

……

Because he was about to leave the capital, Zhao Ling almost always left early and returned late during this time.

When night came, and the moon was in the middle of the moon, someone from the front yard informed that Zhao Ling was back.

Chu Xingyue knew his habits, and he would usually go to the palace to stay in the study for a while, and then come back to Feiyu Courtyard to accompany her to dinner.

Because he had to take care of Zhao Ling's body, the food in Feiyu Courtyard had been mainly light and nourishing recently, and after Chu Xingyue heard the news of Zhao Ling's return, he immediately ordered someone to heat up the meal, so that he could eat a hot meal when he came back.

At this moment, Zhao Ling, who appeared in the study, had a cold face, and quietly listened to the report of the secret guard kneeling on the ground.

"The princess went to the bridgehead in the east of the city to see King Xuan, and stayed in the bridgehead wine shop for about half an hour before leaving; The subordinates wanted to sneak closer to investigate, but King Xuan also brought a master with him, and his subordinates were worried about being exposed, so they didn't follow. ”

"You mean, I don't know what the princess said to King Xuan, so that they were left alone in the wine shop for half an hour?"

The dark guard didn't need to look up to guess that the prince's face must be ugly at this moment, while quietly wiping away the cold sweat rolling down his forehead, he repeatedly knocked off: "It's all the incompetence of subordinates." ”

The lights in the study were not very bright, and Zhao Ling was standing in a slightly dim dim dusk, his expression was indistinguishable.

He kept telling himself in his heart that with Yue'er's attitude towards her now, she would never be entangled with Zhao Xuan again.

However, at this moment, Zhao Heng's words to him hit him unceremoniously like a maggot that eats bones.

The truth that he had never dared to face was pierced into his sensitive nerves like the tip of a needle, and he kept asking himself in his heart, if what Zhao Heng said was true, in Yue'er's heart, there was not much place for him, then who was the person in her heart?

Could it be that she can't forget Zhao Xuan so far?

When this thought arose, Zhao Ling felt that the blood in his veins was about to stagnate.

In his life, the most unforgivable thing is betrayal, but if one day, his most beloved woman betrays him, what will he do?

Zhao Ling's face became more and more heavy, and later, even the secret guard kneeling on the ground felt that the air around him had cooled.

Just when he thought that such a long time would continue for a while, the secret guard heard Zhao Ling's cold voice above his head, "In the future, continue to keep an eye on the princess's every move, but if you find anything suspicious, you must inform this king as soon as possible; Especially between her and Zhao Xuan, someone must be sent to keep an eye on her. ”

The dark guard hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Subordinates obey orders." ”

By the time Zhao Ling returned to Feiyu Courtyard, the dinner in the small kitchen had already been heated three times.

In the past, Zhao Ling would come back a little late, but it wouldn't be as late as tonight, especially since he hadn't sent someone to inform Chu Xingyue in advance of the specific time of his return to the hospital tonight, so she had to spend most of the night with an empty belly.

Just when Chu Xingyue and the others were sticking to their chests and belly, they finally saw Zhao Ling walking in from outside with a tired body.

The full of complaints disappeared when he met his tired eyes, Chu Xingyue hurriedly greeted him, and while taking the coat he had taken off from his hand, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there something going on today?" I heard early that you were back, so it can be seen that you have been staying in the study. ”

Zhao Ling had always been paying attention to Chu Xingyue's expression, seeing that she was taking care of herself as considerately as before, hiding the faint emotions in her heart, stretching out her long arms, hugging her slender waist, and bringing her whole person into her arms.

The warm and dry big hand gently touched her delicate cheeks, and said, "It's nothing, it's just some trivial things that need to be dealt with, but you, when you are tired and hungry, you can eat and sleep first, and you don't have to wait for this king." ”

Chu Xingyue meekly snuggled into Zhao Ling's arms, letting him touch his cheek, and his voice was soft, "It's okay to wait for you for a while, but it's you, don't be too tired at this time, you know, from tomorrow onwards, it will be a really hard day." ”

Zhao Ling smiled lightly, took Chu Xingyue's hand and sat on the round stool, "You don't have to worry about this king, I will take care of myself, but it's you, this king has been too busy recently and has neglected you a little, are you okay in the near future?" What did you do today? ”
