The summer rain was as soon as it fell, and Mei Xiaoren came out of the drunken immortal residence, and before he had gone far, he encountered a sudden heavy rain and had to hide under the eaves of the street.

The rain was so heavy that the people on one street quickly ran clean, and in the distance only a group of forbidden troops was still patrolling the city in the rain, and there was not a single official in sight on the street.

The forbidden army took advantage of the turmoil of Jiang Rong's assassination, and Mei Xiaoren was also anxious in his eyes, but it was not appropriate to complain to Chu Yu about this matter, what he had to do now was to stay away from this case and hand it over to the Criminal Department for full disposal, without interference or manipulation, so as to avoid suspicion. If the Beijing Government Office wants to turn over, it has to rely on colleagues to support themselves.

She thought about it for a while, in fact, this case is very strange, except for the assassin, there should be other clues to be found, where to start?

The wind swept down the eaves from time to time, and the rain and dew did not make her come back to her senses.

Suddenly, the light in front of him dimmed a little, and Mei Xiaoren raised his eyes and saw a heroic young general.

Ye Zhi was standing in front of her with an umbrella, his armor was covered with water droplets, and he was soaking wet, and the umbrella he was holding was brand new, as if he had just bought it.

"Big ......" Ye Zhi paused as soon as he spoke, and asked again, "Xiaomei, why are you here alone?" ”

In the past, she hoped that Ye Zhi would not call her adult, but now that he has really changed his name, she is a little unaccustomed to it, because she is a man or a woman, and the whole capital knows whether she is a man, and Ye Zhi changed his mouth because of this.

"Come out and take a walk."

She turned her eyes to look to the side, and the group of forbidden soldiers had just passed. She could see that Ye Zhi was personally leading troops to patrol the city this time, just like when she took the official errand to the street, and hurriedly asked: "Old Ye, are your injuries all healed, why are you leading the troops?" ”

Ye Zhiyi smiled and said: "I only suffered a small injury, the rumors outside can't be believed, the rain is heavy, where are you going, I'll send you?" ”

Mei Xiaoren looked at the rain in the sky, and couldn't stop for a while. She came out today by taking the opportunity of Chu Yu being summoned into the palace by His Majesty, and she didn't tell Chu Yu about her subordinates' complaints.

Since he came out secretly, of course, the sooner he went back, the better, especially before Chu Yu returned home.

"I'm getting ready to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Ye Zhi nodded, and the umbrella in his hand leaned forward to cover the top of her head, "Let's go." ”

Mei Xiaoren and Ye Zhi walked slowly in the rain with an umbrella, she kept silent all the time, she didn't know what to say, she seemed a little restrained, maybe she was not used to getting along with men and women between them.

Ye Zhi seemed to guess why she was silent, and said with a smile: "Xiaomei, in fact, you don't have to worry, I can accept it, really." ”

"Don't you blame me for hiding from you for so many years?"

He shook his head, "Not only do I not blame you, but I also regret that I was too impulsive at the beginning, it turns out that you did it, not because you took a shortcut because you were afraid of difficulties, but because you had no way out at all." ”

"It's been a circle, and it's the best result for you and me to be good, don't mention it." Mei Xiaoren asked again, "How is the injury of His Royal Highness King Yu, does it matter?" ”

"His Royal Highness has woken up, and he is still recuperating from his injuries in the Wei State Mansion, fortunately, His Royal Highness lived in the State Mansion before, and I happened to go to my father-in-law that day, otherwise it would be difficult to rescue."

"It means that he is sick, and I can't go to the Guogong Mansion to visit, if you see him, say hello on my behalf."

Ye Zhi nodded.

They walked past a calligraphy and painting shop, and their figures were caught by the people upstairs.

The maid pushed Ji Nanrou, who was still admiring the painting, "Miss, look, it's Mei Xiaoren and the Major General." ”

Ji Nanrou was immersed in this painting that was hard to find, and when he heard the maid's words, he immediately stood up and looked out the window. If you don't look closely, you think it's two men walking slowly in the rain, but if you look closely, you will find that one of them is Miss Xiao who pretends to be a man and is perfect.

She only knew that her surname was Xiao, and she was a daughter of a Shu clan who had no background, and she didn't know her name.

The maid was puzzled: "Miss, Mei Xiaoren is Xiangye's fiancée, why did he walk with the young general and hold an umbrella together, isn't the old relationship changed?" ”

Ji Nanrou's gaze went cold.

The three words "fiancée" are the knife that Mei Xiaoren pierced into her heart, and it hurts once she mentions it!

What's even more painful is that she even asked her to help send things to her senior brother at the beginning, which is simply making a wedding dress for Mei Xiaoren!

"The two of them are like this, if Xiang Ye knows, Xiang Ye is afraid that he will be unhappy, right?" The maid held Ji Nanrou's arm and spoke softly.

"Senior brother hates women chewing the root of their tongues the most, I can't come out of this." Ji Nanrou picked up the embroidered fan on the table, held the handle of the fan lightly and fluttered the wind, and the corners of her lips raised, "But I don't want to waste this opportunity in vain, so it's better to give it to someone who is willing to come out, I heard that His Majesty summoned his senior brother into the palace today, just right." ”

Qianyuan Palace.

Gu Chuyu came out of the main hall, his expression was as normal as ever, while the ministers who followed him were all full of sadness.

The ministers whispered as they walked, and finally the ministers complained: "How can Your Majesty be so hasty!" ”

Gu Chuyu didn't care about the ministers' remarks, he walked in front alone, and when he saw puddles on the ground, he knew that it had rained before.

"Brother Yu!"

Even if the person did not arrive, the sound came first, Gu Chuyu did not leave a step for anyone.

Haoyang saw that Gu Chuyu ignored it, and while hurrying to chase after him, he shouted behind him: "Brother Yu, I have something important to tell you!" ”

He still turned a deaf ear and refused to stay.

Haoyang quickly chased after him, went straight to him, blocked his way, and asked with a bitter face: "Brother Yu, are you still angry with me, angry that I didn't forgive Mei Xiaoren that day?" ”

He finally stopped, and Haoyang was very happy, but when she looked into his eyes, she found that he was looking ahead, and even if he was not in a hurry to leave, his eyes did not allow her.

Seeing this, the other officials detoured from both sides, did not dare to disturb, and left in a hurry.

Haoyang's nose was sour, and he frowned and said, "Brother Yu, don't be angry with me, the reason why I don't want to let her go is because she doesn't deserve you at all!" ”

Gu Chuyu was not angry, silent, raised his hand to leave the people who were blocking the way, and continued to move forward.

"Brother Yu, Mei Xiaoren took advantage of your entry into the palace today to have a private meeting with Ye Zhi in the east of the city, and when it rained just now, they not only held an umbrella together, but also hooked their shoulders under the umbrella and put their backs on Qingqing and me." Haoyang said angrily, "Such a watery Yanghua woman, where is she worthy of Brother Yu!" ”

"Don't forget why you have the fate to talk to Benxiang here today, if you will take revenge, Benxiang will make everything happen again, just as if Xiao Xiao never saved you." Gu Chuyu didn't look back and didn't go back to the tunnel.

"What I said is true, she really hid it from you and Ye Zhi!" Haoyang was very anxious, and said angrily, "If you don't believe Brother Yu, you go back to the mansion and ask, to see if she has left the Prime Minister's Mansion today, and whether she has gone to the drunken immortal residence in the east of the city." ”

Before Gu Chuyu walked away, Haoyang added again: "Brother Yu, don't listen to her quibbles, she and Ye Zhi have eaten and lived together for so many years, and the affection between them has long been better than that of friends, as the saying goes, love arises over time, didn't Brother Zhaojun Wang just accept the maid who has accompanied him for many years as a concubine?" ”
