Liu Neishou and Tong Defang took Zhao Qingzhou out of Dali Temple and rode their horses to the palace. In the shadow of the laurel tree, Zhang Yunhua and Ou Jinshu walked out, both of them with a little worry on their faces. Jin Shu asked: "Brother Yunhua, Lord Tong took Qingzhou away, what will the official family do?" Zhang Yunhua said: "Looking at Lord Tong's face, it should be fine." Let's go back and wait for news. ”

After that, the two of them walked lightly into the alley behind them, and at the end of the alley, Uncle Feng was standing by the carriage and waiting, and after the two got into the car, Uncle Feng drove to Qingpingzhai in the night. At this time, in Qingping Zhai, Su Mengtang was lying on the bed with Qiuqiu and Yi, seeing that Qiuqiu had refused to close her eyes, Su Mengtang subconsciously patted Qiuqiu gently with his hand, wanting to lull her to sleep, but remembered that Qiuqiu was not used to this, so he hurriedly retracted his hand again.

Qiu Qiu noticed Su Mengtang's retraction, turned his head and smiled at her, but did not speak. Su Mengtang saw that Qiuqiu's eyes were like an adult full of concerns, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and asked tentatively: "Xiaoqiu, you and your master, how have you been in Qingyun Mountain all these years?" "Huh?" Qiuqiu was still thinking about the conversation between everyone just now, and suddenly heard Su Mengtang's question, and he slowed down for a while.

She carefully recalled the solitude with Yunhua in Qingyun Mountain before going to Jiangnan Villa, and said: "That small courtyard is very beautiful, the scenery in the mountains is integrated with the courtyard, Mr. grows some vegetables in the mountains, he goes to work in the fields every morning, and when he comes back, he checks my homework, and the days are very good, Aunt Mengtang." Although Mr. doesn't like to talk, I can feel that he loves Qiuqiu very much in his heart. ”

Su Mengtang stretched out his hand and gently touched the broken hair on the top of Qiuqiu's head, and said: "He naturally loves Xiaoqiu very much, you were still very young at that time, in order to teach you to speak, your master held you every day, walked around the small courtyard, pointed to everything he could see, and took the trouble to teach you their names. ”

Qiuqiu made up the picture in Su Mengtang's mouth, and laughed: "It's so cute." Sir, you've always been a little cold-hearted, haven't you? Su Mengtang laughed silently when she heard the words "cold face and hot heart", she nodded and said softly: "Yes, your master, he is an excellent person." Qiuqiu turned her head to look at Su Mengtang when she heard the sound, and saw that two blushes flew on her face, and she suddenly felt that she was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, so she changed the topic and said, "I don't know if Master and they are going well, and I don't know how Uncle Qingzhou is doing." ”

In the Funing Palace, Liu Neishou walked to the side of the imperial case and said softly: "Official, that Lord Zhao Qingzhou is already waiting outside the palace, you see-" Song Lizong raised his head from the music when he heard this, he had reigned for ten years, almost thirty years old, and he seemed to be older, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were already very obvious. "Let's get it in." Song Lizong rubbed his red eyes.

Liu Neishou didn't go to pass the word immediately, but said to Song Lizong: "The official family is tired, don't hold on, since Lord Zhao is here, it will be safe, and it will be the same if you announce it tomorrow morning." Song Lizong looked back at the eunuch who had been with him for ten years, and said angrily: "You-you are getting more and more bold, and you dare to make decisions for me." Liu Nei hurriedly bent his waist deeper and said, "The little one doesn't dare, I'm just worried about the official's body." ”

Song Lizong patted Liu Nei's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I didn't blame you." Eh, I ask you, when you and Master Tong went to Dali Temple, Qin Guoxi was really inside? Liu Neishou nodded and said, "Inside, wearing an official uniform, I came from behind with Lord Zheng." Song Lizong sighed deeply, as if something heavy was pressing on his chest: "He dares to give orders behind my back, and let a military general slaughter the imperial court officials, what else does he want to do?" ”

Liu Neishou naturally knew who Song Lizong meant by "he", and hurriedly relieved: "Don't you think that the official family is afraid of you because he is doing things behind your back now." Song Lizong and Liu Neishou glanced at each other and said, "You old fellow, okay, let Lord Zhao come in." Liu Neishou hurriedly made a farewell salute and withdrew. Tong Defang and Zhao Qingzhou were waiting outside the door at this time, and the expressions of the two were happy and sad, which was very different.

Liu Neishou said: "Go, Lord Zhao, the official family is waiting for you inside." Zhao Qingzhou looked back at Tong Defang and said, "Teacher, the student has entered." Tong Defang coughed, hid his smile and said, "Okay, the teacher is waiting for you here." Zhao Qingzhou wanted to persuade Tong Defang to go back to rest, but thinking that he was alone at the moment, and the teacher was more stable in his heart, he didn't say anything, walked forward directly, and pushed the door in.

The candles in the Funing Palace were flickering and a little dim. Zhao Qingzhou didn't dare to look up, he saw Song Lizong Zhao and Ju sitting on the inside of the bookcase on the right side of the door, so he stood by the door and said to the right: "Sinner Zhao Qingzhou, see the saint." "Lord Zhao, what a crime, hurry up and let me see you." Zhao Youju's voice was thick and cordial, like Zhao Hong, the prince of Guihe back then.
