"Madam, you wait for the slave maid, it's getting late, the slave maid will give you the lamp." Binglan hurriedly put down the mask in her hand.

Lu Qingjin looked back at her, thought about it, and then turned back and picked up the mask, "Let's go." ”

In fact, she could have waited for Qin Zhao to go back to the house to rest in the evening before telling him about the Peony Flower King, but she felt that there were some things that she had to ask clearly now, otherwise she would have been in a mess in her heart and would not be able to do anything.

The Liang Mansion was very quiet at night, and there were only their master and servant on the entire path.

"Binglan, what do you say he is doing now?" The stones on the cobblestone road were slightly damp, and Lu Qingjin carefully lifted the hem of his skirt to avoid it being soiled.

"Madame, won't you know if you go and see?" Binglan walked ahead, paying attention to the road under her feet.

"Then Lu Youruo still has to go to the master again?" She finally couldn't help but ask.

"Madam, the slave maid secretly asked before, but she didn't go to the master again." Binglan smiled slyly.

"Ask? Where did you go to ask? Lu Qingjin was stunned.

Qin Zhao's study did not arrange the servants of the Liang Mansion, and he ordered the two secret guards brought from the capital for anything.

Lu Qingjin thought back, although the two secret guards respected her very much and were also friendly to Binglan and them, they ...... They are usually dragons who don't see the head but don't see the tail, unless there is danger, otherwise they will not take the initiative to appear.

In this case, where did Binglan get the news?

"Madam, the slave maid recently became friendly with a maid in Lu Youruo's courtyard, and that maid is from the Liang family, so it won't have any impact on us." Binglan said in a low voice.

Lu Qingjin was a little surprised after hearing this, Binglan has always been babbling, not as calm and steady as Jingshu, and she thinks less about it, I didn't expect her to have such a delicate mind.

"You also have to be careful, in case that maid has been taken care of by Lu Youruo, it will be miserable for us to be trapped." She cautioned.

After all, the opponent is Lu Youruo's kind of thoughtful person, so she has to be more guarded.

The master and servant came to Qin Zhao's study one after another, and at this moment, the sky outside had completely darkened, but the inside of the study was still bright.

Lu Qingjin turned around and instructed Binglan, "You go to the kitchen and bring some digestible meals, the master probably hasn't had dinner yet." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Binglan turned to leave with the lantern.

Thinking of the matter he was going to ask later, Lu Qingjin suddenly felt his heart pounding, and he felt a little unusually nervous.

Instead of going in directly, she knocked softly on the door of the study.

"Enter." Qin Zhao's somewhat hoarse voice came from inside.

Lu Qingjin pushed the door in, only to see Qin Zhao sitting behind the table, holding a pen in his hand, and writing something with his head down.

"Sir." She approached slowly.

"Qingjin, why are you here?" Qin Zhao hurriedly put down his pen.

So at this moment, her mind was a little sensitive, and after hearing Qin Zhao's words, she was slightly stunned, "...... Shouldn't I have come? ”

If Lu Youruo can come to the study to find him, can't she?

"No, it's late, it's dark outside, and it's not safe to come all the way." He stood up, walked towards Lu Qingjin, and wrapped her in his arms, "If you have something to do, send Jingshu and them over to say something, I will definitely go to see you immediately." ”

He rested his head on her shoulder, and the heat from his words sprayed down her neck.

Listening to his explanation, Lu Qingjin's originally very depressed mood instantly dissipated a lot.

She pursed her lips and asked, "I heard that Lu Youruo came to you today?" ”

She held her breath slightly, waiting for his explanation.

"yes, what's wrong?" Not only did he not follow the words, but he came to ask her.

"What's the matter with her?" She pouted slightly.

Qin Zhao finally reacted, the person in his arms was jealous, so he deliberately wanted to tease her, "I've been busy for too long, and I can't remember clearly." ”

"How can you not remember, you are ...... Why do you have such a hard time remembering things? Lu Qingjin was a little annoyed, "In the past, when you said that I was not good to you, you remembered every detail so clearly, why did you forget it this time?" ”

"Hahaha." Qin Zhao couldn't hold back his laughter, "That's what you want to know?" ”

"I don't want to know!" Lu Qingjin broke free from her embrace.

Seeing this, Qin Zhao slightly increased the strength in her hand, making her unable to break free, "Are you jealous?" ”

Lu Qingjin was broken by him, and he was so angry that he wanted to beat him, "I don't have it!" No nonsense! ”

"Do you say yes, if you generously admit it, I will tell you everything Lu Youruo said." Qin Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes! Be! Okay, right? She hung her head helplessly.

Qin Zhao was satisfied, he let go of his hand, led Lu Qingjin to the desk, and gave her the chair to sit on, "She said something very unpleasant, I was impatient to hear it, so I drove her away." ”

"And what did she say?" She asked, tilting her face.

Qin Zhao cupped her face, "Those bad words, I just know it, don't listen to it." ”

Lu Qingjin glared at him and muttered, "I can guess if you don't say it." ”

"Guess and listen to me?" Qin Zhao smiled, "Isn't it that my speech is too good, do you want to listen more?" He said as he pulled out a book from the cabinet next to him, "It's so boring to listen to those words, read poems to you for your husband." ”

"Qin Zhao, don't see her alone in the future." She said domineeringly.

Qin Zhao was slightly stunned when she heard this, it was rare for her to reveal her thoughts directly like this.

But I have to say that he prefers Lu Qingjin at this moment, and prefers such a real her, "Okay, I won't see her alone in the future, I will avoid her." ”

Lu Qingjin knew that it was impossible for Qin Zhao not to see Lu Youruo, after all, the Empress Dowager had been pressuring, but he was willing to make a promise not to see Lu Youruo alone to coax her, and she was still very happy.

"What is this?" Only then did he notice the peony mask that had just been casually placed on the desk by Lu Qingjin.

"I almost forgot, this is a peony mask, the peony king in Jiangnan will be held in a few days, I haven't participated in this kind of banquet yet, I'm a little curious, I want you to accompany me to take a look." Only then did she remember the purpose of her trip.

"Peony Kao?" Qin Zhao's expression changed after hearing this.

Lu Qingjin was keenly aware of his abnormality, "What's wrong?" She looked at him cautiously.

The warmth and smile that was still on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by indescribable anger.

"The flooding in the Jiangnan area is so serious now, some people still have the leisure to hold a banquet?" Qin Zhao's brows were tightly locked, this Jiangnan region really needs to be rectified.
