However, Ling Xiao had to admit that Yan Lingchu did have a charm that no one else had, and that kind of temperament and mood were very incomparable. After a pause, she said faintly: "I didn't expect that the throne of the current saint has to be attributed to his son. ”

"The current emperor's mother died early, but it is rumored that she died of poison. When he was named the crown prince, he was passed on to Queen Zuoqiu, who had no children under his knees. However, there are many twists and turns in the succession, and I don't know exactly what kind of process it has gone through. Inadvertently, Zhong Limu simply talked about these old pasts, which can be regarded as the secrets of the royal family.

Seeing that Zhong Limu stopped, Ling Xiao didn't ask much, she had always been like this, she was not very interested in other people's affairs, and she didn't bother to get to the bottom of it.

The three of them sat for a while, chatting about other things intermittently, and then Lu Jingxing and Zhong Limu left the courtyard one after another.

Lu Jingxing also had to go to the study to listen to Lu Ci's report on some important things that had happened in the past few days, and when Lu Ci went to find him before breakfast, he was busy in the dining room, so he asked Lu Ci to leave first.

And Zhong Limu couldn't stay in Ling Xiao's courtyard for a long time, when he came out, he didn't greet Yan Linglast, he couldn't see anyone for so long, presumably Yan Linglast should be in a hurry.

Ling Xiao instructed Que'er to clean up all the tea sets on the desk, and then propped up one arm and sat with his cheeks half-folded, with an elegant and quiet posture.

She stared at the metal bracelet in her hand, thought for a moment, sighed imperceptibly, and said to the finch: "Finch, don't say what you heard today, no one can. ”

"Yes, Second Miss, the finch understands." With a hint of a smile in her eyes, she nodded seriously and answered crisply.

Although Que'er is just a little girl, she also has a sense of proportion, and there are some things, since the second lady of her family has reminded her, then she naturally won't talk nonsense. Besides, today's events shocked her a lot, and she even heard a lot of the secrets of the royal family, and until now, she hasn't come back to her senses! I feel dizzy.

At the same time, Que'er is also very curious, what is the origin of her young lady's family, it can be related to the royal family, and treat the prince as an elder brother, what a high honor it should be, in the Central Plains Country with such a strict hierarchy, ordinary people dare not think about it.

Ling Xiao turned his head slightly and glanced at it, and saw that the finch was holding a pair of copper bells wide open, and he didn't know where to look, so he was stunned motionless. Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile helplessly, this smile was cool and cool, and asked casually, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ah, Second Miss." Ling Xiao asked very lightly, but the finch was cold and excited, only then did she come back to her senses, the expression on her face was scornful, she raised her hand and touched the back of her head, and saw that Ling Xiao was staring at her, so she simply said the question in her heart, "The slave is just curious, what is the identity of what Yanling Zhan?" And the second miss you. ”

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, since Que'er had heard the conversation between the three of them, she didn't mind revealing some more, so as to solve the doubts in Que'er's heart, so as not to speculate wildly.

"The Six Princes of the Dynasty. As for me, I am only the daughter of a courtier. Ling Xiao said very plainly, and he didn't take these illusory identity titles to heart at all.

When Que'er heard this, she was immediately a little frustrated, and frowned: "That's it? What about the young master? He will definitely not be able to compete for a prince. ”

"That's why I don't want you to talk nonsense." Ling Xiao'er glanced at her with a smile and no longer looked at her, "Actually, even if he knows, it doesn't matter, now that I'm far away from Jundu, everything is up to him." The reason why Ling Xiao kept the finch secret was mainly out of consideration for the safety of the finch and was worried that the finch would suffer misfortune because of her.

When Zhong Limu returned, Yan Linglast was waiting in his house. His footsteps paused at the door, smiled at Yan Linglong, did not speak, and then walked in.

Seeing that Zhongli Mu, who didn't have anything unusual, Yan Ling Yan walked towards him, looked down at the breakfast that had been cooled on the table, and asked casually, "Where did this go?" Lo and behold, breakfast is cold. ”

"I saw that this mansion was good, but I just walked around and forgot the time for a while." Zhongli Mu's expression was natural and did not show any abnormality.

Hearing him say this, Yan Linglast couldn't help but look at the strong sunlight outside the house, and then looked up at Zhong Limu's dry forehead, and after a moment of silence, he changed the topic and pointed to the food on the table: "It's all cold, or I'll go to the dining room to help you change it." ”

"No, I've already eaten it." Zhongli Mu waved his hand and sat down opposite Yanling Last.

When Yan Linglast received such an answer, he only nodded slightly and did not ask more. Although he could see that Zhong Limu seemed to have something to hide from him, since Zhong Limu didn't want to say it, then he didn't know.

At the same time, Zhong Limu also noticed something, realizing that a person as keenly as Yan Linglang had noticed something. After all, it was difficult for him to return so late without suspicion.

Zhong Limu sighed secretly, it seems that even if he wants to deliberately hide the fact that Nan'er is here, he is afraid that he can't hide it, and Yuan'er's identity will be exposed sooner or later. It's better to be honest and bring Yu'er to see Yanling.

The two were relatively silent for a moment, and finally Zhongli Mu opened his mouth first, talking about this assassination incident, and telling Yan Ling Yan about the results analyzed by Ling Xiao not long ago. Of course, he did not say that this was analyzed by the three of them, but expressed it from his point of view.

In this way, Yan Lingyang did not notice anything abnormal in this, but it was completely Zhong Limu's own opinion. At the same time, when Zhong Limu mentioned this matter, he also became serious, thought carefully in his mind, and talked to Zhong Limu, hoping to find a breakthrough to figure out this matter.

After Lu Jingxing returned to the study, he silently looked at Jing Du outside the back window and sat for a long time, and then ordered a family member to call Lu Ci over.

Not long after the time passed, Lu Ci appeared at the corner of the corridor connecting Lu Jingxing's study, looking casual, although his steps were fast, but they were leisurely. When I was about to enter the room, I didn't forget to lean over and pick a budding autumn chrysanthemum outside the porch, but I walked in.

Lu Jingxing heard the footsteps, withdrew his gaze from the window, turned his head and raised his eyes to look at Lu Ci, but did not speak.

And Lu Ci was also quite casual, and he stepped forward and sat down opposite Lu Jingxing. He poured himself a cup of cold tea to drink, and without Lu Jingxing opening his mouth, he began to report the matter to Lu Jingxing.

After reporting everything, Lu Jingxing only nodded slightly, no matter how big or small, he was not shocked after listening to it. He was originally indifferent, and there were other things in his heart at the moment that worried him, so he didn't react much to what Lu Ci said.

After a while, Lu Ci saw that there was nothing wrong, and after greeting Lu Jingxing, he got up and was about to leave, but Lu Jingxing opened his mouth lightly: "When you took those two sons back to the house, were you followed?" And what happened to the killers? ”

"No one should have noticed that the killer had escaped somewhat, but we left very quickly, very secretively. Out of caution, we also covered our faces at the time. Lu Ci had no choice but to sit down again. He seems to be arrogant and a little free and loose, but in fact he is also a careful person who does things thoroughly.

Lu Jingxing was finally relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "That's good, in order to be safe, quickly dispatch some people to secretly visit inside and outside Huizhou City, if you notice a suspicious person, don't let it go, this matter is very important." ”

He was worried that this matter had nothing to do with Ling Xiao, but because of Zhong Limu's arrival, they attracted those secret agents, which indirectly exposed Ling Xiao's whereabouts. That's why I thought about taking precautions as early as possible, and I didn't want to have any mistakes. They are in the light, and those spies are in the dark, so he will come to the dark in the dark, cut off the thoughts of those people from the root, and never give each other any chance.

"Yes, I'll go." Lu Ci looked serious, nodded and got up and went out.

When he passed by the autumn chrysanthemum, he threw the broken one in his hand into it, and he no longer had the heart to fiddle with another flower. Looking at the slightly solemn expression of the mansion lord just now, he knew that this time his kindness was only afraid that he would bring a big # trouble to the Lu Mansion again, and maybe it would be a big deal. He felt a little guilty in his heart, so when he treated the errand given to him by Lu Jingxing, he was more serious and unambiguous.

The morning seemed to pass quickly, and before you knew it, it was time for lunch again. Since Ling Xiao hadn't thought clearly about whether or not to see Yan Linglast, she still didn't go to the dining room with the others during lunch, as she did yesterday.

After lunch, Yan Linglast and Lu Jingxing talked together, and tasted tea and piano in the study, which was very speculative, and there was a feeling of hating each other. Lu Jingxing has a little appreciation for Yan Linglast, a person in the royal family, his heart can be so clear and free, which is also commendable.

And Yan Linglast's appreciation of Lu Jingxing is also from the heart, Yan Ling last treats people more indifferently and detachedly than on weekdays, and is silent and silent, and only when he really meets like-minded people will he be so open and speak freely.

After a casual conversation, the two learned from each other about the piano skills, and finally did not shy away from pointing out the shortcomings and advantages of the other party's piano skills. This has come and gone, and they have become friends.

At night, the moonlight was hazy, and the shadows of flowers were swaying on the ground. In the quiet and silence, Ling Xiao had already walked to the gate of Lu Jingxing's courtyard, and the slender shadow stretched by the moonlight had imprinted a few creases on the stone steps, and as she entered the courtyard, the creases disappeared slowly.

The lights in the house were dim, and Ling Xiao stood in the middle of the courtyard, not walking towards the house, but looking up at the roof. Sure enough, against the backdrop of the deep sky, a hazy silhouette was shrouded in the cold moonlight, making him a little more cold and silent than usual.
