"Hule came this time with another purpose." Qi Lingtian's gaze sank, and he landed on another accompanying gift post.

Shen Shichu looked at it and roughly understood: "I don't know what the emperor is going to do?" ”

"Hmph, the south is full of whimsical people," Qi Lingtian tapped the table with his fingertips, and said coldly: "How can I do what they want!" ”

Out of Taiming Palace, the two were escorted by Gonggong Pei all the way, and when they passed in front of Guanghua Pavilion, they saw that several little eunuchs in the palace of the Empress Dowager Deyi were detained by the guards for some reason, and they saw Gu Lanting passing by, and were about to shout, but Gonggong Pei turned sideways and blocked her vision.

"Master Hou, they are all useless people, don't pay attention to them."

"Hmm." She bowed her head slightly, didn't say anything, and walked forward on her own.

Shen Shichu glanced at the few anxious little eunuchs who were stomping their feet, as if they were people from the Empress Dowager Xiao's palace, he withdrew his gaze and followed Gu Lanting leisurely.

The two of them went out of the palace gate, and the street market under the root of the imperial city had already opened gongs and sold, and groups of people of different colors shuttled through the market, shouting one after another, and they were all harmonious.

Gu Lanting tilted his head: "General Shen, how about you please be too early?" ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

A small shop on the side of the street, the shop pulls a century-old sign made of brocade cloth to attract diners, the shop is not big, but it is full. Fortunately, they were not formal, so they asked for a small table and placed it directly under the eaves of the hut outside the store.

"Guest officer, your fried buns, please use them slowly."

Shen Shichu was really hungry, so he grabbed chopsticks and stuffed one into his mouth, and the fragrance of oil in his mouth made him squint.

Gu Lanting took a sip of soy milk and said slowly: "Those little eunuchs just now, do you see clearly?" ”

"Well," he picked up another bun, took a big bite, chewed and said, "It's all from Taihua Palace." ”

"But I have never had any dealings with Empress Dowager Xiao......" Gu Lanting frowned: "And Gonggong Pei's reaction just now was quite abnormal, as if he was afraid that I would talk to them." ”

Shen Shichu put down the chopsticks, snatched the soybean milk bowl in her hand, took a big sip, and smashed it with satisfaction: "When did the emperor let Gonggong Pei send you and me when he left the palace in the past?" ”

"Not really." Gu Lanting's dark eyes tightened slightly: "You mean, these are all deliberately arranged by the emperor......"

"Empress Dowager Xiao has never been a fuel-efficient lamp." Shen Shichu said casually, but there was a little worry in his words: "Gu Lanting, you have to pay more attention recently, there has always been nothing good about being targeted by her." ”

"Counting the seniority, she is your stepfather's aunt." She replied casually without much thought.

Shen Shichu put down the bowl when he heard this, his mouth moved slightly a few times and swallowed the food in his mouth, his eyes slightly angry.

Sensing his displeasure, Gu Lanting was stunned, expecting his gaffe: "I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong." ”

"Gu Lanting, I am who I am, and I have nothing to do with others."

"Hmm." To show that she believed in him, she nodded heavily through "gritted teeth".

"You ......" Shen Shichu was speechless, and after a few deliberations, he pushed the bowl towards her: "In order to make up for the damage you just caused to me, buy me another bowl of soy milk." ”

"Okay, buy ten more bowls!" She greeted Xiao Er very proudly.

"Ten bowls of soy milk want to send me away?"
