It was getting late, and Mai Jiu and Sang Huai'an returned to the palace. The two entered the palace and scattered in opposite directions.

Sang Huai'an said that he needed to go to Shulu Zhai for some things, and then left without looking back.

Mai Jiu was walking alone on the road in the mansion, and she recalled the moment when she got up and bumped into Sang Huai'an just now.

At that moment, it was as if everything around me was still.

Mai Jiu walked along the wall, and she clicked on the wall with her finger and unconsciously walked to the Yi'an Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Zhihua greeted him: "Master, have you gone to visit the lanterns tonight, is it fun?" ”

Mai Jiu raised the corners of his mouth and tried to squeeze out a smile and replied, "It's fun, I'll take you with me next time." After thinking for a moment, Mai Jiu continued: "I also ate the braised lion's head from Zuiyunlou. ”

"Ahh Master, slaves and maids also want to eat. "The braised lion's head is also something that Zhi Hua has been thinking about for a long time.

Mai Jiu looked at Zhihua's pouting and stomping her feet, and she really laughed happily.

Zhihua followed behind Mai Jiu and asked for a long time, is it delicious? What does it taste like? Is it expensive or something.

Mai Jiu answered Zhihua's questions one by one unhurriedly.

It was late at night, and Sang Huai'an hadn't come back yet. Mai Jiu lay on the bed tossing and turning, and she thought about it over and over again when she came here.

She misses her parents, thinks about the two-dollar bowl of tofu brains downstairs, thinks about the steamed bun shop next door to the university, thinks about the milk tea house on the second floor of the shopping mall, thinks she still has a recharge card of a few hundred yuan that is not used, she misses the company boss's Mediterranean Sea and free afternoon tea every day, and thinks...

Her mind replayed the scene that had just happened by the river, and for some reason her heart was pounding.

After a few seconds of staring at each other, what she thought was... Kiss it up!

At such a close distance, Mai Jiu raised her head and could touch Sang Huai'an's lips with a slight tiptoe, and in the end, reason overcame everything, and she still pushed Sang Huai'an away.

"Ahhhh Mai Jiu shook his head and wanted Sang Huai'an to get out of his mind.

There was a slight sound of the door, and Mai Jiu got up vigilantly and lifted the curtain of the bed to look.

Sang Huai'an walked in, closed the door, looked at the bed, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you sleep yet?" Didn't I tell you that you don't have to wait for this king? ”

Seeing that it was Sang Huai'an, Mai Jiu directly pulled down the curtain, he really didn't want anything to come.

Sang Huai'an thought that Mai Jiu was angry, he walked straight to the bed, and explained, "Since we left the house, someone has followed us. ”

Mai Jiu got up when he heard this and wanted to open the curtain, but it happened that Sang Huai'an also stepped forward and reached out, and this time he directly held Mai Jiu's hand through the thin bed curtain.

Mai Jiu quickly withdrew his hand and put it behind him, supporting himself and sitting up.

Sang Huai'an put away the curtains and fixed them on both sides of the bed, he sat on the bed and continued, "At first, the king did not send someone to chase him, but he saw that person again on the way back to the house just now, and the secret guard went to chase him. It's a pity..."

Mai Jiu tilted his head to look at Sang Huai'an, waiting for him to continue.

After a while, Sang Huai'an continued: "This king suspects that there are two people, and that person has exposed his whereabouts and is about to be overtaken, so his companions will kill the killer in order to disrupt our direction. ”

The guard chased after him, and the man stabbed himself in the abdomen with a sword in both hands, seemingly killing himself, but... The direction of the knife edge is incorrect. ”

"How?" The more Mai Jiu listened, the more energetic he became, and he moved his butt a few times closer to Sang Huai'an.

"The sword he wields is so long that it is impossible to hold it with both hands and plunge it straight into his abdomen unless he has to pout his hips before committing suicide." Sang Huai'an turned his head to look at Mai Jiu and asked, "Did you pout your hips because the sword was too long before you committed suicide?" ”

Mai Jiu gestured with her hands, and she imitated picking up the long sword and stabbing it in the abdomen: "I will raise the sword and go down from the top." Piercing"

"You know, will that man not know?"

Mai Jiu's face instantly pulled down when she heard this, and she imitated holding a short sword in her hand and plunging it into Sang Huai'an's shoulder: "If I take the sword, I will stab you to death." After speaking, he did not draw his sword.

Sang Huai'an also fell to the side decently, covered his arm, and said emotionlessly, "Ah~ Someone assassinated this king." ”

Mai Jiu laughed and cried: "You are like a fool." ”

Sang Huai'an straightened up, pulled his clothes, snorted softly, and said, "Hmph, each other, each other." ”

Sang Huai'an's cute appearance just now hit Mai Jiu's laughter, she smiled forward and backward, Sang Huai'an glanced at it with disgust, and Mai Jiu stopped after a while.

"And then?" she asked. Is the man dead? ”

"It's dead, just now this king went to check the corpse."

Mai Jiu moved back a few times when she heard this, and she looked at Sang Huai'an with a pout: "You just had close contact with the corpse. ”

"This king bathed before he came." After speaking, Sang Huai'an opened his arms and continued: "The clothes are all new. ”

Mai Jiu continued to purse his lips with disgust in his eyes.

Sang Huai'an put down his arms and stood up, took off his coat, he leaned over to Mai Jiu and said head to head with her, "If you don't believe it, this king takes it off and lets you smell it, this king has thousands of ways to prove himself." ”

In an instant, Mai Jiu's ten fingers were all opened, and thousands of grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart. Were the ancients so good at flirting? What kind of tiger and wolf words are these!

There were no candles in the room, only the moonlight shining through the window, Mai Jiu looked at Sang Huai'an's eyes, I don't know why these eyes were extraordinarily bright today's night.

Seeing Mai Jiu's nervous appearance, Sang Huai'an got up and said with a smile, "This king won't eat you again." ”

Mai Jiu's heart was about to jump out, she stroked her chest, and now she desperately needed a quick-acting heart pill.

Sang Huai'an sat back on the bed and said, "In recent days, it's better not to leave the house, it's better to be careful when there are dangers around you." ”

Mai Jiu nodded stunned and replied, "Okay." ”

As usual, the two of them just lay down in bed and slept without any other behavior. After a few days, Mai Jiu got used to it, so that he could talk to others before going to bed.

"You say, the queen is pregnant, so why does the queen mother force us to have a baby." Mai Jiu recalled that it was the queen's bulging belly that she entered the palace that day.

Sang Huai'an folded his hands around his chest and lay flat on the bed, he closed his eyes and replied unhurriedly: "The fetus in the queen's womb will not be born." ”

Mai Jiu turned his head in surprise: "Why?" ”

"The queen mother's family has long lost its power in the imperial court, her family is degraded and exiled, she wants to rely on the fetus in her belly to stabilize her father's position in the court, how can those who want to step on her foot on the throne let the queen succeed easily."

Mai Jiu tsked his tongue. The palace is really intrigued.

She thought for a while and asked, "The emperor has recruited so many concubines to enrich the harem, so why don't you recruit more people." ”

Mai Jiu learned that in addition to herself, Lin Yingsleeve and Liu Huiyu were the people who entered the palace as masters, and everyone else lived in the palace, and the house fight scene she longed for at the beginning was no longer after Yun Ran's death.

Sang Huai'an turned to the outside of the bed, and he sighed, "It's quite annoying to have you." ”

Mai Jiu smiled bitterly, she didn't know whether she should be happy or kick Sang Huaian out of bed.

In the morning, Mai Jiu opened her eyes, Sang Huai'an was no longer by her side, she looked at the scorching sun outside, and said in a daze, "Sure enough, it is the daily life of waste." ”

Zhihua pushed the door and took the toiletries in his hand, and behind him were jade, jade, and jade pendants.

"Master, it's time for lunch, and the slave will help you wash up."

Mai Jiu looked at the big fish and meat on the table, she lay down again, and now she actually misses the days of sitting in front of the computer desk and working.

After lunch, Mai Jiubai was bored, and now she really wanted to find something to do for herself, but after searching through the Yi'an Courtyard, she couldn't find anything that could relieve her boredom.

Mai Jiu picked up the money bag, grabbed the Zhihua and walked towards the back door of the palace, now she had already forgotten what Sang Huai'an said last night.

After leaving the palace, Mai Jiu went straight to Zhuque Street to find Guo Qiyan, she remembered that the last time she took Hongyan Yushuang, Guo Qiyan said that he would accept her as an apprentice.

But she looked left and right, but she couldn't see Guo Qiyan's figure, so Mai Jiu had no choice but to go to the small courtyard to look for it.

As soon as I walked into the alley, I heard the sound of stones rolling on the ground from behind. Mai Jiu turned her head slightly, glanced back, she only noticed that something was wrong, and pulled Zhihua to speed up her pace.

The footsteps of the people coming from the rear also accelerated, and Mai Jiu was about to fly.

A palm put on Mai Jiu's shoulder, and Mai Jiu was so frightened that he bounced up and ran out several meters away. She looked back and saw that it was Shen Qianyue, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Qianyue walked towards Mai Jiu, and she said with a cold face, "It's so dangerous outside now, you're still running around." The prince is not in the palace today, if someone doesn't come to report that you are out of the palace, hmph, you just wait for the prince to collect your body. ”

Mai Jiu then remembered what Sang Huai'an had said last night, she looked at Shen Qianyue's ice-like face and said coquettishly, "Oh, why are you so fierce, really, you scared me to death just now." ”

Shen Qianyue looked at Mai Jiu's face and became a little colder, and after a while, she sighed helplessly and said, "I'll accompany you to do what you want to do, go home quickly." ”
