After Dexuan recovered from his injury, he returned to Zhao Qingling's place. Zhao Qingling treated him differently than before, but his eyes still looked at him with an inquiring look.

Dexuan people are upright, so they are naturally not afraid of his inquiry. still respectfully did his part, but his body had not yet recovered, and Li Jingcai called a small chamberlain to help with many important matters.

When he came, he patted Dexuan's shoulder and laughed: "You kid, yes, you are so brave at the last moment, it really makes a face for our inner prisoners." Dexuan was busy and said that he didn't dare.

Li Jingcai lowered his head again and whispered in his ear: "Master Hou can say, Mr. Zhao's okay is the most important thing, if Mr. Zhao is good, hundreds of thousands of guards will not be able to exchange for this loss." ”

Dexuan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "In this way, the slave maid has also made a great contribution." ”

Li Jingcai said proudly: "That's, don't you know, the entire Chu Jingjing knows that Chu Dinghou has a text and a martial arts around him, the one who writes is Zhao Qingling, the word Mubai, the martial one is Su Yanqing, and the word Zixuan, look at it, isn't this one black and one white." As he spoke, he stood aside and laughed, as if he had thought of something very funny.

Dexuan laughed a few times after him, and then sent him away. still went back to serve Zhao Qingling.

Zhao Qingling saw that Dexuan's face was not arrogant, and he still stood with his hands down, pen and ink tea, everything was in order, and he couldn't help asking: "It's really thanks to you that day, otherwise this sword would have been on me, and half of my life would have been gone." ”

Dexuan blushed, bowed his head and said, "Actually, the slave maid is also very afraid, but if something happens to the gentleman, the slave and maid will not feel good." Therefore, I have a horizontal heart, and I hope to protect Mr. ”

Zhao Qingling laughed, with appreciation in her eyes: "You were so scared at the time, but you can think of protecting me, it can be seen that in your heart, I, Zhao Qingling, am still a little important." ”

Dexuan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sir, this is to kill the slave and maid." Madame said that the slave and maid serve under the husband, follow the master to learn the great truth, and become a teacher for one day and a father for life, so you must do your best. Although the slave and maid are internal prisoners, they also know how to be honest and honest. ”

Zhao Qingling nodded, smiled, personally helped him up, and buried himself in the official document.

Zhao Qingling had to talk with Chu Huo Tianshen almost every day in the middle of the night, sometimes with several gentlemen, sometimes halfway through the conversation, and then asked someone to bring Su Yanqing, and several people talked together.

"Master Hou, now that the Yushitai side has persuaded Master Zhang and Master Li, and Master Zhang Pang De of the Qingliu faction is also on our side, it seems that at this time, the situation has gradually become clear." Mr. Lin Hongzhi Lin touched his beard and smiled.

Zhao Qingling nodded and said: "There is still no movement on the Guozhang side, except for the last time when the Imperial History Observatory visited a few copies of the Hou Ye, those rumors have slowly dissipated. We can't move too much, if it's too big, it will be taboo. The emperor is still hesitant to choose which prince to choose as the prince. A few days ago, I heard a rumor in the palace, and the queen ran to Concubine Xian's side and made a big fuss. It is estimated that the queen can't help it and wants to force the emperor to make a statement. ”

"Did the Assassins find anything last time?" Chu Huotian asked with a twisted eyebrow. He always felt that the assassination was not easy. Although it was not successful, the time and place, as well as the coordination of the means of assassination, really surprised him a lot.

"Back to the Hou Ye, I haven't found anything for the time being, those people are nameless and stateless, and the swords used are not marked. However, King Jing has been walking around the palace very closely recently, and I don't know if it has anything to do with him. Zhao Qingling frowned.

Chu Huotian nodded: "Continue to investigate secretly, if it is a dead soldier secretly raised by the Guozhang faction." That's tricky. If he really raised such a group of people, he didn't know what tricks he would come up with in the future. Mu Bai, you discuss with Zixuan, and plan a plan or two on how to strengthen the guards of several gentlemen in the mansion. ”

Zhao Qingling hurriedly received the order, and Chu Huotian turned around and discussed with Lin Hongzhi how to arrange the people on the other side of the Yushitai. Zhao Qingling said goodbye first, and when he went out, Dexuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's late at night, is Mr. going back to rest?" ”

Zhao Qingling answered vaguely, and walked out of the courtyard, it was already in the middle of the moon, and in the distance, it seemed that someone had held up a few lanterns and walked slowly.

Zhao Qingling waited for someone to approach, and only then did he see the current person, dressed in a moon-white hundred-folded long skirt, wearing a dress embroidered with pear flowers and smoke in the same color, and his face was beautiful and beautiful, it was the seventh lady in the mansion - Ouyang Zhen.

He hurriedly bowed and saluted, "It's time to greet the Seventh Lady." Ouyang Zhen nodded with a smile and said: "Mr. Zhao has worked hard, the concubine sees that the Hou Ye is busy until late at night, and the weather has been dry recently, so she stewed some lotus seed and lily soup to clear away heat and dispel fire, do you want to drink a bowl too?" ”

Zhao Qingling hurriedly said that he didn't dare. Ouyang Zhen smiled and said: "Sir, take it, the concubine body has also made more, I want to give it to a few gentlemen." After speaking, he ordered Wanhui to take out a lacquer box painted with gold flowers and birds and handed it to Dexuan.

The two of them said a few more polite words, and Ouyang Zhen ordered someone to pass into the courtyard, and Zhao Qingling only felt a dark fragrance wafting around him, like a delicate hand on his face. Watching her slender and feminine figure go away, I couldn't help but be distracted.

Seeing him like this, Dexuan hurriedly called, "Sir, sir! ”

Zhao Qingling came back to her senses, rolled up her sleeves, and said with a smile: "Your wife is really unparalleled, no wonder the Hou Ye has traveled thousands of miles to bring her to the mansion." ”

Dexuan smiled and thanked him. The two of them walked back slowly.

Ouyang Zhen only entered the courtyard, and saw Chu Huotian come out to see Mr. Lin, he saw her coming, and said with a smile: "It's late at night, why don't you rest." I also brought soup. ”

Ouyang Zhen bowed before saying: "Hou Ye is busy with political affairs every night, and the concubine is incompetent, so she can only take care of Hou Ye's food and clothing." I hope not to disturb the rest of the Hou Ye. ”

Chu Huotian smiled and took her Rouyi into the study, and said, "The soup you boiled is good, if you refuse to send it, Ben Hou will come to look for you in a few days." I haven't been to see you in a few days. ”

Ouyang Zhen's hand was petite and slightly cool, and the white jade-like hand disappeared without a trace when it sank into his big palm.

She heard Chu Huotian say this, her eyes were full of grievances, and she said in a low voice: "Master Hou hasn't come to see the concubine for a month." ”

Chu Huotian was stunned for a moment, looked up at her, and saw that her face was sad, and a pair of eyes were filled with the waves of the pool, and he only looked at him clearly, and he couldn't say a word when he was full of words.
