When Zhu Qingliu heard this, he immediately couldn't control his emotions, his face changed suddenly, and both of them saw it clearly in their eyes, and he returned to normal after calming down.

"Is she in your hands?"

In fact, he felt that there was no need to ask this question, Lu Yuanbai's identity was different from others, and if he could find her, he must have seen her before.

Lu Yuanbai closed his eyes lightly, and asked unhurriedly: "Do you want to see her?"

"What did she tell you?" Zhu Qingliu's tone was inexplicably sad, and his emotions were very slow and fast, sometimes it only took a moment.

Like now.

Chi Yingchu almost told him what he said, but was stopped by Lu Yuanbai's eyes, and he pursed his thin lips: "In addition to sister and brother, can you have any other relationship?"

Zhu Qingliu's eyes were obviously relaxed, and a smile seemed to be a smile on his face, and he slowly responded after a long time: "Yes, there is no other relationship." ”

"I studied for ten years in the cold window, in order to get ahead one day, but this dream was shattered the moment the eldest lady found me...... If there are no accidents, the editing of the Hallym Academy should be my place. ”

The tone in which he said this was helpless, sad, and mixed with a hint of hatred, although it was inconspicuous, but it did exist.

In such a situation, it is estimated that it is impossible not to hate anyone.

"Then why did you become the person next to him, he didn't know your identity?" Chi Yingchu asked, clearly seeing that his face had changed.

The look on his face could no longer be suppressed, and he wanted to make a move but was slapped by Lu Yuanbai: "Do it in front of this king, I advise you to think clearly first." ”

Zhu Qingliu saw that he was protecting her, and his face was not the slightest surprised, but he smiled sarcastically: "The prince has the heart to protect her, where does the villain dare to do anything to her? I just want to leave, after all, I am not a prisoner." ”

"When this king asked you, you didn't answer and wanted to leave, not afraid of being known by him?"

"Then the villain can leave after he says it?" Zhu Qingliu snorted lightly, his eyes were calm and abnormal, "The villain can only be a staff member behind his back in order to make a living, he is the person arranged by the eldest lady, so he naturally knows all this." ”

"Can such an answer satisfy the prince?"

Lu Yuanbai's eyes swept over his face, and he could see at a glance that he was not telling the truth to himself, but he was not in a hurry to expose it at the moment.

Because only if he tells a lie, can he follow the traces and investigate it little by little.

"What is the relationship between the current editing of the Hanlin Academy and the eldest lady?" Lu Yuanbai asked again.

"It's her distant cousin. After Zhu Qingliu finished speaking, he heard his voice.

"Let's go. Lu Yuanbai asked the carriage to stop at the corner of the street, and he got out of the carriage and left without looking back.

Chi Yingchu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to chase after him, but the person had already gone away, and couldn't help but look at him in surprise: "Is it really so easy to let him go?"

Lu Yuanbai glanced at her, and his thin lips pulled out: "Then what else do you want to invite him to a meal as a reward?"

She immediately stopped talking, just with this little thing, she may not be able to find out anything, Lu Yuanbai must have something she doesn't know.

The eldest lady's surname is Zhou, from the Zhou family in Shangjing, she has a certain amount of power in the court, and she has some business background, so this family is richer than ordinary rich businessmen.

As for where this distant cousin came from, I have to go back another day and ask carefully.

As long as Chu Jingshu does not fall, the Zhou family, the Huguo Mansion and the Hanlin Academy will be her backstage, and several forces are interdependent and close to each other.

To find a problem, we have to start from the root, just like a big tree has to be uprooted so that there will be no place to turn over, instead of constantly cutting down the details.

Otherwise, just like before, the Lord Protector knew that the eldest lady had made a mistake, but it was just a big punishment and a small commandment.

She thought a lot in her mind, so much so that Lu Yuanbai shouted a few times, but she didn't hear it, and when she came to the gate of the palace, she saw him go down first.

Lu Yuanbai turned around and saw that she hadn't moved inside: "What do you want to do if you don't come out yet?"

Chi Yingchu had goosebumps all over her body, she didn't believe it or wanted to, and her tone was disgusted: "You don't even want to carry it, how can you hug me?"

He smiled even more on his handsome face, and hooked his fingers at her, as if he was calling for a small pet: "When this king breaks your leg, he will naturally hug you." ”

"Lord Wang, in fact, it suddenly occurred to me that I still have something to do, why don't you send me back to the Protector's Mansion?"

She thought to herself that he could easily let go of Zhu Qingliu today, he should be in a good mood, and he wouldn't be able to get along with himself, right?

"What are you going to do?" she replied simply.

"Hmm. Lu Yuanbai replied lightly, she thought he was going to agree, but then she saw him shaking his head and refusing, "No, this king doesn't want you to go." ”

Her face suddenly fell: "Why don't you want to?"

"It's just that I don't want to. He raised an eyebrow, his eyes wanton, "Do you have an opinion?"

"Nope. She was forced to get out of the carriage and tried to reason with him, "I want to go back to check the eldest lady, the crime of buying and selling officials is extremely evil, if you let the emperor know......"

"The emperor doesn't know yet, but you are more concerned than anyone else, even if you expose the eldest lady, what benefits can you get?"

She snapped her fingers and counted with him little by little, Lu Yuanbai frowned, and didn't pay attention to it at all: "If you want to let the second room vent, this king can help you now." ”

"I ......" Chi Ying was speechless for a while, if she didn't find something to do for herself, she would be uncomfortable, how could this rebellious dog man understand!

The dog man sneered softly, and his words were extremely ruthless: "Besides, you are not really Chu Yimiao, if you can keep the second lady from dying, even if you can do it, she may not be able to do your job." ”

She pretended not to hear his words, Lu Yuanbai raised his feet and walked in, seemingly not wanting to care about her anymore: "It's okay to go back to the Protector's Mansion, but don't go to Zhu Qingliu." ”

She just wanted to ask why, but she heard him speak again: "You only saw that this king let him go, but how do you know that this king didn't let people follow him quietly?"

"If you dare to spoil the good deeds of this king, you will screw your neck off!"

She hurriedly covered her mouth and snorted indistinctly: "I promise not to say it." ”

Chi Yingchu went back from the side door, and she could go directly to the side courtyard of the second lady, and the second lady was a little surprised: "Why are you back again......?"

The second lady looked behind her vigilantly, and she smiled easily: "Mother, I came back by myself, and the prince really knew, but he didn't come with me." ”

"Then he didn't let people follow you, did he?"

Chi Yingchu thought that he would let people follow Zhu Qingliu, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not use the same means to himself, but on the surface, he didn't want the second lady to worry about it, so he just shook his head.

"No, I'm just coming back to sit, and it's not something to be unpleasant. ”

"I've had someone make your favorite crispy that you can take with you. At first, the second lady didn't want to accept her as a concubine in the palace, but later she had to adapt.

"Good. Chi Yingchu said this to her, and slowly led the topic to the eldest lady's mother's house, "Mother really hasn't heard of her distant cousin?"

The second lady's face sank, and her voice was slightly cold: "I haven't heard it before, where did you know it?"
