Yunxi Palace.

"Your Majesty let Zhao Quan go to the Lu family?" Yun Concubine was holding a pair of jade earrings in her hand, and she just wanted to put them on, but after listening to Yun Li's report, the movements in her hand suddenly stopped, and she turned her head to look at Yun Li.

Yun Li stood aside, but did not speak.

Yun Concubine caught a glimpse of Yun Li's strange expression, and also felt that something was wrong, so she asked, "How can you inquire about what Your Majesty ordered Zhao Quan?" ”

Yun Li seemed to be a little nervous, afraid that Yun Concubine would not believe it, so she raised her eyes to look at Yun Concubine with an honest face, and said, "It was His Royal Highness who sent someone to tell the slave maid, so that the slave and maid could report to the maid." also said that Gonggong Zhao went out of the palace with Lord Lu after the next court. ”

Yun Concubine frowned, but there was nothing wrong with thinking about it carefully.

Since it's a matter of the next dynasty, I'm afraid no one knows about it.

After all, she is in the harem, and not everything in the front hall can be inquired about, so her son will naturally want to subdivide her, so that she can have a countermeasure.

It's just that, looking at the emperor's previous attitude, he didn't plan to compensate the Lu family, nor did he punish His Royal Highness.

What he has done today is something that makes it impossible to figure out what his intentions are.

Could it be that he really wanted Zhao Quan to take a look at Lu Jingzhu so that he could marry His Royal Highness?

If that's the case, then Lu Jingzhu really can't stay.

Regardless of whether Lu Jingzhu is still useful now, no matter whether Lu Jingzhu really spoils her grandson in her stomach.

Thinking of this, Yun Concubine said to Yun Li again: "The snow banquet in the palace was better prepared earlier. ”

Yun Li's eyes flashed, and she lowered her eyes.

At night, Chu Yu was guarding the door of the backyard, holding a hand warmer and waiting for someone.

At this time, Ah Li brought the soup, and saw that Chu Yu was extremely bored, so he greeted with a smile: "The person who came to deliver the letter estimates that it will be a little later to come, so on such a cold day, Miss will ask me to bring you hot soup, hurry up and drink it while it's hot." ”

Chu Yu turned around, smiled at Ah Li, and just wanted to step forward to take it, but suddenly heard a movement outside the wall, and he didn't have time to explain, so he threw down the hand stove and chased him out.

Ah Li was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ran back to the courtyard with the soup.

Lu Guanlan was teaching Xiaoju to paint plums, and when he saw Ah Li coming back in a hurry, the soup in his hand was spilled on his hand.

"What's wrong?" Lu Guanlan said, picked up the cloth on the table and handed it to Xiao Ju on the side.

Xiao Ju hurriedly stepped forward to take the tray from Ah Li's hand, and wiped Ah Li's hands with a cloth.

Ah Li immediately told Lu Guanlan about Chu Yu's sudden run out of the courtyard.

The slave looked at her as if her face was wrong, and she was a little worried······" Ali said, glancing out the window again.

Lu Guanlan pondered for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you noticed anything unusual?" Or did you see a figure when Chu Yu went out? ”

Ali shook her head.

Lu Guanlan was silent and put down the pen in his hand.

Chu Yu was waiting at the back door today.

In order to wait for Yunli to send a letter from the palace, the person who sent the letter was personally selected by her to buy it back, all of them were athletic, and there were few accidents halfway.

Since the last time she entered the palace, she instructed Yun Li to send her a letter on time, so that she could know Yun Concubine's movements.

Yun Li only needs to think of sending the letter to the gate of the palace, and someone she will arrange to retrieve it and send it to the Lu Mansion.

The first word is the one who waits for today, the one who delivers the message.

Listening to what Ah Li said, Chu Yu's reaction today was as if he sensed some danger and chased him out.

"Miss don't worry, Chu Yu is so good, how can it be so easy," At this time, Xiao Ju suddenly spoke, and said while wiping Ah Li's hands: "Sister Ah Li is really, she was shocked, if she is really a master, Chu Yu can't detect it, since she can detect it, it means that the martial arts of the people who come are not as good as Chu Yu." ”

Xiao Ju's words reminded Lu Guanlan.

Yes, Chu Yu's skills are not weak, Rao is the subordinate of the Pawn Bureau, she can still detect the breath, no matter how high the martial arts are, Chu Yu will definitely not know.

But if a person who is not very skilled, why did he suddenly approach Lu Fu?

Or rather, who sent it?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a whining sound.

Immediately afterward, I heard the sound of the courtyard door being kicked open.

Lu Guanlan came back to his senses and nodded at Ah Li.

Ah Li hurriedly went out of the house to take a look, and saw Chu Yu coming in from outside with a man in black tied up.

The black-clothed man's hands and feet had been tied, and he was now being thrown aside by Hatsuyu and struggling, while Hatsuyu was tightening the latch inside.

"It's ······" Ah Li looked at all this in front of her in a daze.

Chu Yu turned around when he heard this, and smiled suddenly, "Where's my soup?" ”

Ah Li sighed.

Chu Yu pouted, "I just heard the movement and ran out to take a look, who knew that this guy was climbing the wall, thinking that we still have something to do tonight, but this thief will inevitably see it, or tie it back first, take it and look back, you are gone, what about the soup that you said for me?" ”

Ah Li smiled, "What else do you say, suddenly ran out nervously, and thought it was wrong, come in and explain to the young lady yourself." ”

Hatsuyu nodded and was about to enter the house.

Ah Li pointed to the man in black lying on the ground and asked, "What about him?" ”

Chu Yu glanced back, "I'll deal with it after I explain it to Miss." ”

Ali nodded.

After all, this person was also stuffed with a cloth in his mouth, and he couldn't shout even if he wanted to.

He didn't pay attention to it, turned his head and entered the house with Chu Yu.

As soon as he entered the house, Chu Yu told Lu Guanlan what had just happened.

Hearing that it was just a thief tied up outside, Lu Guanlan was also a little strange.

Then he stood up and was about to walk out.

Seeing this, Chu Yu knew that Lu Guanlan was going to see it in person, so he motioned to Ah Li to take the fox.

Ah Li turned around and took the big coat on the shelf, and before he could put it on Lu Guanlan, he saw that Lu Guanlan had already left the door, so he hurriedly followed.

The man in black lying on the ground was still struggling at the moment, and he was also thinking of cutting the rope that bound his hands and feet.

As soon as Lu Guanlan arrived in the courtyard, he saw the movements of the man in black and knew that this person had a dagger in his hand.

Chu Yu also found out when he came out, and immediately stepped forward and kicked the dagger in the hand of the man in black away.

The man in black was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, but suddenly stopped struggling the moment he saw Lu Guanlan.

Seeing the man in black react like this, Chu Yu also looked at Lu Guanlan a little strangely.

And Lu Guanlan's gaze at this moment fell on a purse tied around the neck of the man in black.

It was—she had sewn it with her own hands, and had given it to him in a purse.

Lu Guanlan stepped forward, tore off the cloth stuffed in the mouth of the black-clothed man, and asked eagerly, "Where did you steal this purse?" ”

The man in black looked helpless, and took two mouthfuls, and then said with a sad face: "It's wronged-"

"Wronged?" Chu Yu turned his head and stared at the man in black with a strange expression.

The man in black looked aggrieved and looked at Lu Guanlan, "Miss Lu, can you give me a comfortable place?" ”

As soon as he heard that the man in black knew Lu Guanlan in front of him, even Ah Li and Xiao Ju who came out with him were shocked.

When did her young lady still know the thief?

Lu Guanlan didn't think much about it, turned his head to look at Chu Yu, "Untie the rope." ”

Chu Yu seemed to be a little worried, "This person's identity is unknown, maybe it's ······"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Guanlan's cold eyes.

This look, she hadn't seen it on Lu Guanlan's face for a long time.

Immediately said no more, squatted down and pulled the man in black from the ground to stand up, and then picked up the dagger that had just been kicked to the ground by himself, and cut the rope for the man in black.

This rope was originally a soft rope that she carried with her, the rope was not thick, and if the man in black used some effort, or if she was not tied very firmly, she could easily cut it.

After the man in black was untied, he first moved around, and then bowed his head towards Lu Guanlan, took off the purse hanging with a red rope around his neck and handed it to Lu Guanlan, "My subordinates work for General Li, and I came here tonight to tell the eldest lady about it." ”

When he heard the words "General Li", Lu Guanlan's heart twitched suddenly, and the fingers that took the purse trembled involuntarily.

Then the man in black continued, "General, he's back." ”

"What?" Chu Yu Ah Li and Xiao Ju exclaimed in unison.

Lu Guanlan was even more stunned in place, feeling that all the bones of his limbs seemed to freeze in an instant.

She didn't know how she felt at the moment, as if what she had been looking forward to had been accomplished, and as if the hope in her heart that had never been extinguished had come true.

She didn't have the heart to pay attention to anything else at the moment, just looked at the man in black and asked solemnly, "Where is he?" ”

A full moon on a winter night seems to be very rare.

Zhang Sanzhi lay in the carriage and snored, as if he had finally been able to relax after many days of fatigue tonight.

Li Duan sat outside the carriage, wrapped in Zhang Sanzhi's thick cotton clothes, and looked up at the moon in the sky.

He had already sent his men to look for her, and as long as she saw the purse, she should not think it was fake.

It's just that he didn't let his subordinates tell her that he was asking for her, and he felt guilty in his heart, and he was even more afraid that she would not come.

Speaking of which, he also felt that he had gone too far.

For her own plan, she was sad, and she didn't know how to face it if she really saw her, let alone how to explain it.

He hoped for her forgiveness, and hoped that she would stop paying attention to such a self.

Probably this is the contradiction of people's minds.

waited until the second half of the night, just as Li Duan watched the dark clouds gradually increase, and he was about to cover the full moon.

I thought to myself, she shouldn't come back.

But he heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping in the woods.

He immediately stood up and looked into the distance.

In the night, a galloping shadow passed through the forest, and the moonlight sprinkled in the forest, reflecting the ethereal nothingness of the figure.

He froze in place, as if in front of him it was like a dream.

In the middle of the night, a horse stopped in front of him, and the man on the horse was dressed in crimson fox, the green silk on his head was dyed with snow, his mouth was still panting, and his face was also flushed with the rush.

Before Li Duan could speak.

Suddenly, the person in front of him smiled.

"You're finally back."
