As dusk approached, the bricks and tiles of Chang'an City were dyed orange-red, and Xie Ying stood in the glow, like a girl coming from the desert.

Xiao Ke was reluctant to let go of her hand for a long time, and only when he knew that the drum sounded, he came back to his senses, "It's time to send you back." ”

Xie Ying nodded, and the carriage sent her back to the Northwest Hou Mansion.

Dressed like this and went to Tongxintang, Zhou was really frightened by her, could it be that this King Chen didn't like Erniang wearing a round-necked robe, so he asked tentatively.

She shook her head, she didn't dare to say anything about the assassination, so she made up a reason, "When I went out, I found that I had flour on my clothes, and I couldn't get rid of it if it was stained with water." ”

Zhou's brows became more and more frowning after hearing this, and he preached to Xie Ying with apprehension in his heart: "Today, a few servants chasing you can't stop you, this is good, and the image fell in front of King Chen's eyes." ”

Xie Ying nodded in agreement, but she didn't care, Song Niangzi stood behind Zhou, and took her expression in her eyes.

"Ying'er," Zhou called out in a deep voice, and Xie Ying hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "A-Niang, it's not as serious as you say, I'm measured!" ”

Zhou had no choice but to sigh deeply, and Song Niangzi helped Xie Ying, "Auntie, don't worry, there is me." ”

Looking back, Zhou has always felt that Song Jinqin is a proper lady, and she is only a few years older than Xie Ying, and she is more compatible with Erniang.

"That's it, you go!" With a sigh and helplessness, Zhou ordered Xie Ying to be evicted.

Xie Ying was also like an amnesty, and quickly turned around and left.

The lights were lit in Huanhuatang, and Xie Yingtuo was sitting in front of the window, in a daze. Footsteps sounded behind him, and Xie Ying turned back excitedly: "What is delicious tonight!" ”

Seeing Song Jinqin standing not far away, Xie Ying couldn't help but be stunned, "Why did my sister-in-law come over?" ”

Song Niangzi personally spread the dishes of the two, "After going out for a day, you must be hungry." ”

With that, she handed the chopsticks to her, and after Xie Ying took them, the two of them ate together, until Xie Ying was satisfied, and then withdrew the meal.

"Sister-in-law," Xie Ying looked at her and blinked, "You have something to say to me today!" ”

Song Jinqin nodded with a smile, and then motioned to the maid she was carrying to put the things on the table, Xie Ying only glanced at it, "What is this?" ”

Song Niangzi's expression sank a little, and she let out a sigh: "You covered up at your aunt's place today, what's the matter with the injury on the back of your hand?" ”

Xie Ying glanced at it, bit her lip before slowly speaking, "Sister-in-law saw it at that time......"

"Erniang, what happened today?" Song Jinqin looked at her worriedly, and Xie Ying also hesitated, although she just went to visit the East and West Market, the way was quite exciting.

After being silent for a long time, Song Jinqin had no choice but to say: "That's it, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask." ”

Xie Ying bit her lip and stared at her cautiously: "Sister-in-law, you can't let A-Niang know about this matter." ”

Song Jinqin nodded, and Xie Ying told all about today's events. Song Niangzi was shocked but laughed when she heard it.

"Last time I had an extra cloak for this, was it for that?"

She asked, Xie Ying nodded obediently, and then came back to her senses and looked at Song Jinqin with some surprise, "Sister-in-law thinks so quickly." ”

"I thought it was only because the sun was in the west that you were wearing thin clothes, but then I saw some black and red stains on your dress, and I thought you were dirty in your dress."

Song Jinqin looked at her seriously, "It's true that the dress is dirty, but those stains are blood!" ”

Xie Ying had no choice but to nod and hurriedly added: "But that time it was just some small snakes, and this time it was a human ......."

"Last time it was a snake, this time it was an assassin" Song Niangzi pulled her hand, becoming more and more nervous, "Erniang, you have saved King Chen twice." ”

She moved and wanted to break away, so she misunderstood what she meant: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't be implicated in the Northwest Hou Mansion." ”

Song Niangzi sighed, "That's not what I'm talking about. ”

"What is the sister-in-law going to say?" Xie Ying leaned back, trying to escape something.

"I asked you on book day." Song Jinqin leaned over, Xie Ying frowned, "What did my sister-in-law ask......?"

After being silent for a while, Xie Ying suddenly remembered, and immediately argued for herself: "Sister-in-law, there really isn't!" ”

"King Chen is the son of a saint, if he is injured, I am by his side, and I have martial arts, the Northwest Hou Mansion will inevitably bear the brunt of being targeted by the Yushitai."

Song Jinqin continued to ask her unconvinced: "Erniang, is it really just for this to save King Chen?" ”

Xie Ying nodded fiercely, "Sister-in-law, it's really like this!" ”

Then she heard Song Niangzi sigh again, Xie Ying didn't pay attention to it, she just thought she was relieved, and didn't forget to smile and comfort her: "Now sister-in-law is relieved!" ”

At this time, Song Niangzi shook her head, "The rumors from two or three months ago, I haven't seen Yu Shitai say half a word about the Northwest Hou Mansion. ”

"I just returned to Beijing, and they didn't dare to speak at this time......"

Song Jinqin gritted her teeth, "Erniang, do you really not understand?" ”

"What do you want to know?" Xie Ying looked at her pitifully, "Sister-in-law, I really won't let the Northwest Hou Mansion fall into the battle for imperial power......"

Xie Ying was about to cry when she said it, how could she explain it for so long, Song Niangzi still looked helpless and worried.

"Erniang," Song Jinqin's words began to be serious, and Xie Ying hurried closer, "You, haven't you thought that the five kings like you?" ”

"What!" Xie Ying looked at Song Niangzi in surprise, it turned out to be "chickens and ducks talking" for so long just now.

Coming back to her senses, Xie Ying shook her head without thinking, "Impossible, how could the five kings like me?" ”

"That day Lan Tingji, King Chen looked at you with a look that he liked." Song Jinqin said firmly, Xie Ying also quickly shook his head and denied it, "How come!" ”

Song Niangzi nodded affirmatively again, "I also looked like that when I looked at Qiu Lang. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't say it." Xie Ying thought about King Chen's eyes again, her momentum was getting weaker and weaker, and she was about to waver.

"The reason why Daddy and Auntie let my brother and I learn different things from the eyes of the world was to stay away from the struggle for imperial power. I can't like King Chen, and Daddy won't let me marry into the royal family. ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Song Jinqin again, and Song Niangzi had to wake her up again, "Like is like, why do you have to mix so many other thoughts?" ”

Xie Ying was silent.

Looking at the middle of the night, Song Jinqin stopped asking her, and let her think about it seriously.

"Don't answer this question in such a hurry, and think about it again, is it really to stop the mouth of the Imperial Observatory to save him?"

Xie Ying watched Song Jinqin walk away, and the whole person lay on several cases, repeatedly asking herself: What is it for......
