Speaking of this, Lu Zhan frowned: "I think the concubine may have wanted to say something to me before, but she was interrupted by Aunt Ying." ”

"Really?" Song Xiang said, "Why did Aunt Ying interrupt?" ”

"My grandmother suddenly felt unwell, and the concubine wanted to go back to the Yang family, and Aunt Ying came to urge her to go out. It just so happened that she said to me at the end of the day, 'Maybe things aren't what I thought they were.' I felt like she had something to say to me. ”

"Then you didn't let her finish before leaving?"

Lu Zhan thought for a moment: "This matter may not be able to be said in a few words. ”

Song Xiang was silent. Then she looked out the window and said, "What are you going to do with me?" ”

"I'm just here to pick you up and keep an eye on the palace with me." Lu Zhan said and took a long sword from behind him and gave it to her, "I saw you shoot, and I guessed that you can do swordsmanship, so I brought you this."

"Although the defense of the carrier hall is not strict, but the palace is still very strict on all sides, this one is holding self-defense. When the time comes, I will go back first, let Chonghua take you in, and you will wait for me behind the stone wall under the Anqing Gate. ”

Song Xiang knew the location of what he said, looked at the sword in his hand, it was a little familiar, it seemed to be the one he had used, and he took it in his hand.

"It's going to rain heavily, let's go eat first."

Lu Zhan said, and asked the guards to catch up the horse.

Summer nights get dark later, but there will be a moment to come.

In the evening, a rainstorm washed the world clean, I heard that the princess of Jin returned to the Yang family, before dinner, Concubine Zhou personally took the meal to the carrier hall, there were a few half-opened lotus flowers in the tray, the light water sleeves brushed the petals, and I don't know whether it was her incense or the fragrance of flowers.

When passing by Fuqu Palace, Concubine Yunfang, who was walking in the courtyard, happened to see it, looked at it for a while, and asked the maid to close the courtyard door.

King Jin glanced at Concubine Zhou after the arrival, tasted two mouthfuls of soup, and asked people to withdraw from the table.

"Go back, I have something to do."

Concubine Zhou took advantage of the excitement, but she didn't expect to be sent back without saying a word, and she was inevitably disappointed.

As soon as Concubine Zhou's front foot went out, King Jin closed the palace door with someone on the back foot.

"Chuan Feng is in the house."

…… Song Xiang and the others were looking for a restaurant near the palace.

After the rainstorm, a large area of burning clouds appeared in the sky, and the two waited while eating, discussed the details of the night, and when the twilight covered the capital, Lu Zhan stepped back to the palace in the night.

Song Xiang pushed the window to look at the deep night, and after two teas, he changed into night clothes, went downstairs through the back window, and sneaked towards the palace.

Chonghua arrived at the door at the last moment before the palace closed, and after a while, Song Xiang swept through the door.

Anqing Gate is the second gate on this side of the West Road, there is also a shadow wall in the door, this circle is occupied by eunuchs, Song Xiang used to look for Wei Chun when he wandered here, she found an empty room facing the shadow wall, and sat down.

After another half an hour, the sky was dark, Lu Zhan appeared in front of the shadow wall, and Song Xiang responded with a whistle.

The two of them entered the middle road under the cover of Chonghua one after the other, and swept towards the carrying hall where the King of Jin was located.

The courtyard was still quiet, Lu Zhan pulled down his mask, leaned on the eaves and said to her: "Chonghua said that he never went out since he came back. ”

Song Xiang nodded, squinting his eyes slightly and looking at the bright hall.

The window where the light came from was open, and there were figures walking around inside, looking the same as usual.

At one point, the eunuch brought tea into the door, the door opened, and the figure of King Jin appeared in the field of vision.

"Look at it!" Song Xiang covered the mask, then took cover through the shadows and jumped off the ground nimbly.

Lu Zhan chose to land in another direction.

As soon as they reached the ground, the palace gate opened, and a group of more than a dozen guards came, scattered around the main hall.

Lu Zhan swept to Song Xiang's side, grabbed her and jumped onto the beam.

Song Xiang lay on the rafters accurately, and Lu Zhan then fell, half of his body pressed her arms. Song Xiang only felt that half of his face and ears were burned by his breath, but he couldn't move because of the situation.

Turning his head to look, Lu Zhan looked at King Jin in the window intently, clearly not realizing the distance between them.

She ignored the discomfort he caused and focused on the current situation.

Although I don't know how far the relationship between Princess Jin and King Jin has reached, King Jin is still so vigilant in the palace, except for Lu Zhan, there is only Princess Jin.

And King Jin has such a move, except that he reacted to the horse fall case, what else can it be? The answer is already coming out, and what is missing now is the admission of King Jin himself.

"Squeak! ——”

As soon as there was a knock on the door below, the eunuch who had gone in with tea came out and bowed away.

Then Liu Jiang, the eunuch in charge of the King of Jin, also walked out and stood at the door with his hands folded.

King Jin's voice floated out: "What's going on over there in Dali Temple?" ”

Song Xiang's heart moved when he heard this, and before he could react, he felt his shoulders tighten, and when he turned his head to look, Lu Zhan's eyes widened angrily, and his right hand grabbed her shoulder, curling into iron claws......

……

There was still a faint thunder in the sky, but behind the clouds there was already a faint glow of the last quarter moon.

Half a day's work, Yingniang had already commanded someone to clean up Lu Zhan's house in two rooms, but until it was dark, the emperor never came.

Yingniang couldn't help but look at the princess who was silently distracted: "Is this a fraud?" ”

The emperor's letter mentioned that it was strange for Lu Zhan to have a house in Nancheng, and it was always unusual behind ordering her to come here. Now that half a day has passed, no one has been seen, which is inevitably worrying.

Princess Jin stood for a moment and said, "Zhan'er, they will definitely make moves, you send a few people to stay in the palace and keep an eye on the movements." ”

Yingniang said yes, and Princess Jin looked at the rain in this courtyard again.

The courtyard that has not been tended for a long time has accumulated into a pool of stagnant water, reflecting the lanterns under the porch, deep and shallow, and it is impossible to distinguish between reality and fiction.

Suddenly, a pair of feet in cloth shoes stepped to the edge of the stagnant water, paused for a moment, and then walked this way.

Princess Jin raised her head, her eyes shook slightly, and then walked out of the door.

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as he arrived at the door, the emperor was dressed in an ordinary robe, accompanied by Wang Chi, and had already stepped into the door.

The old man, who is over sixty years old, is still walking steadily, and there are no signs of aging. He asked, "How long have you been here?" ”

"I received the emperor's letter next day, and I am already waiting here."

"You came directly?"

"It's from the Yang family."

The Emperor stood with his back to him for a moment, and said, "You are only called to face the saint, why are you so cautious?" ”

"The emperor is out of the palace, this matter is careless, and the ministers have to be cautious."

The emperor looked at him and said, "Do you know why I summoned you?" ”

"I don't know."

The emperor stared: "Today, Zhan'er came to pay respects to me, saying that he seemed to be suspicious of falling from his horse three months ago. I summoned you because I felt that you, who had raised him for seventeen years, might have something to say to me. ”
