He Xuan had just come to the gate of Xiantingju, and before he could get off the horse, he saw Zuo Liang and Liao Yong plus Yumo and Xiaodouzi through the open gate, and the four of them were spinning in different trajectories inside the gate.

He Xuan dismounted at the door, led the horse and looked at their faces full of entanglement, and couldn't help laughing out loud, "What are you...... What are you playing? ”

"Oh, my son, you're back. It's going to kill us. ”

Little Bean's ears are extremely smart, and his legs and feet are fast. As soon as he heard He Xuan's voice, he didn't say a word, hurriedly ran over, took the reins in her hand, handed it to the housekeeper, pulled He Xuan, and welcomed her into the door.

As soon as several other people saw He Xuan coming back, they also walked over. Liao Yong and Zuo Liang looked at each other and did not speak.

He Xuan was about to ask them what was going on, but Liao Yong suddenly took her by the hand and pulled her straight to the backyard, and Zuo Liang followed closely behind. It wasn't until he came to the pavilion by the lake that Liao Yong let go of the hand he had been holding just now.

"Yumo, you and Xiaodouzi are guarding me on both sides, and no one is allowed to come and disturb me without my greeting." Liao Yong said with a serious face to Yumo and Xiaodouzi, who had been following them.

The two little men nodded, and without much to say, walked one or two hundred steps each along the cloister of the pavilion, and stood at the entrances at both ends.

"Where did you go? Ziqing said that you handed in the paper early in the morning, and it has been almost two hours before and after, saying that there is a place to go, where did you go? You're killing us. After Liao Yong watched the little maid guard the entrance, he walked up to He Xuan, knocked her head with the fan in his hand and asked.

He Xuan was knocked by Liao Yong, and it hurt a little, she pouted, frowned and rubbed the place that was knocked by him, looked at Liao Yong and didn't speak, but thought in her heart: Are all rich people sick, and I don't know why they like to take a fan in such a cold season.

From the moment Liao Yong held He Xuan's hand just now, Zuo Liang felt that he was a little jealous in his heart. Now, looking at the situation of the two of them, no matter how Zuo Liang looks at it, he feels that they are very ...... Intimacy!

However, now that the major events are present, these things are not taken care of. Hearing Liao Yong ask He Xuan like this just now, Zuo Liang also followed: "Yes." Where exactly have you been? Knowing that there was a situation in today's big exam, how dare you run around? When I come back, you still haven't seen anyone, and you've searched everywhere you can! ”

"Oh! I didn't tell you when I left the Tribute Academy, I have a place to go. I went to the West Mountain. ”

He Xuan looked at these two people with a nervous look, and said with a faint smile, but he was thinking in his heart: It seems that you are really trying to associate with me. That's good, and it's not in vain that I suffered those grievances last night. Thinking of this, she glanced at Liao Yong.

"This season, run so far to go to the West Mountain...... Do what? Liao Yong was full of confidence and continued to ask, but suddenly saw He Xuan focusing his eyes on himself, and there seemed to be some deep resentment in his eyes, knowing that He Xuan remembered the events of last night again, and suddenly lost his momentum.

Before He Xuan could answer, he suddenly heard Yumo shouting from afar: "Young master, there is a visitor." ”

"Whoever it is, I'm all in the way. I don't see anyone today. ”

"Brother Fan has such a big temper, can't he even reward a little thin noodles from this king?" At this time, a voice that was not too loud took advantage of the sound of water and reached the gazebo.

Hearing this voice, several people turned their eyes to the source of the voice, and sure enough, the self-proclaimed "king" was none other than King Nanxian - Han Yunzhen.

The three of them hurriedly knelt down to salute Yun Zhen, and Han Yun Zhen was not polite, no longer waiting for anyone to let him, leaving his relatives at the entrance, and he walked straight to the pavilion, found a round stool covered with thick cushions and sat down, and then said with a smile: "Get up." I'm mainly here to see Brother He Xian. Also, a few more words I'd like to ask. ”

After listening to his words, several people got up.

"Today, Dabi, I'm thinking about Brother He Xian, thinking that at this time, I should definitely go back to the house, so I came here to take a look, how did Brother Xian answer today?" King Hyun asked.

"It's fine. Lord Lao was worried. The last time I didn't know the identity of the prince, there were many rudenesses, and I hope that the prince will forgive me. He Xuan said as he bowed his hand.

"It's good that the virtuous brother is still the same. There is no shortage of flatterers around this king, and if you become like this, then this king really has to think about what kind of sin he will inflict on you. King Xian smiled and said, "Sit down, all of you." I'm sitting on you, and I'm going to look up at you, it's uncomfortable. ”

The three thanked them, and they were all under the bow, took a slight side, and sat down.

"The folding fan that sent his subordinates to the virtuous brother that day, do you like the virtuous brother?" King Hyun asked.

"Speaking of that fan, yesterday Xiaomin was still thinking about how to return it to the prince." He Xuan replied.

"Oh? Why, don't you like it? That fan was just casually prepared by the subordinates that day, and it was no wonder that it had to enter the eyes of the virtuous brother! Another day, I'll give you another handful, that, either as a gift or for your own use, and the virtuous brother will be fine. ”

"Lord Wang, you are laughing. The object is originally a heavenly thing, no matter the material, the work, the mounting, and even the painting work, the calligraphy is excellent. The prince was wrongly loved, but this object was too valuable, and the little people were really useless, and some of them had trouble sleeping. ”

Hearing He Xuan's words, Zuo Liang and Liao Yong breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and thought: Fortunately, this He Xuan is not a person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix, otherwise, I am afraid that one day we will be summoned by this virtuous king, and when we want to ask for more people, we will only be powerless.

"It would be nice if that were the case. As I said just now, Xiao Wang came here today and wanted to ask Brother Xian about something, so that you would not be considered to be in vain. ”

Speaking of which, the virtuous king changed his mind and turned to the topic of today's visit.

"I wonder what the prince wants to know?" He Xuan asked

"Brother Xian can go to Xishan today?" King Hyun asked.

Zuo Liang and Liao Yong both looked at King Xian with some surprise, and then looked at He Xuan.

He Xuan looked at Zuo Liang and Liao Yong, then at King Xian, and then said with a smile: "Yes." I just came back from the West Mountain. Then, he said to the two sons, "When the Taoist priest sent the question that day, the prince was also there." ”

Zuo Liang and Liao Yong nodded, and only then did they understand why this virtuous king also knew that He Xuan was going to Xishan.

"Did you meet anyone?" King Xian asked again.

Hearing this, He Xuan thought of the two people who entered the imperial city, she smiled slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "After the trial, the villain went straight to Xishan, but I didn't see anyone along the way. The Taoist temple was already deserted, and there was no figure in the lower temple, but it was full of desolation. Come to think of it, it's just that the Taoist man made a fool of himself and said some empty words, but he was too realistic, so he believed him. I ran this trip in vain. ”

"Oh." King Xian listened to He Xuan's answer and nodded thoughtfully.

Liao Yong heard this, but he picked the corners of his mouth and smiled. Zuo Liang was a little puzzled, Liao Yong shook his head slightly, and Zuo Liang didn't ask anything.

At this time, I only heard the virtuous prince say again: "What arrangements does the virtuous brother have in the days before the release of the list?" ”

"This ......"

Before He Xuan could speak, Zuo Liang said: "I'm afraid that in the past few days, Brother He Xian will not be idle." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? King Hyun asked.

"I think Your Highness should also know that something unexpected happened to the big competition this time." Zuo Liang said.

"Oh. Slightly heard. ”

"Therefore, the references must be subject to evidence collection one by one......"

King Xian nodded and said, "I see. So let's do it, after the list is released, can the virtuous brother find a time to get together at Xiao Wang's house? ”

He Xuan smiled and said, "The prince is gracious, and the villain doesn't dare to refuse." But Xiaomin comes from a humble background, and he is only afraid that the etiquette will not be good, since the prince and the two sons also have a relationship, it is better to get together another day. The two sons were born in famous families, so they should always mention Xiaomin, lest Xiaomin speak recklessly and behave inappropriately for a while, and collide with the prince. ”

"Okay, that's it."

With that, King Xian stood up and said, "It's not early. This king still has practical things to do, so he won't stay long. Now you can put away the fan with peace of mind, and don't take the worthless gadgets to heart. I don't want my friendship with you to be so shallow. ”

When He Xuan heard this, he smiled and said, "Didn't the ancients say that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. I am willing to make this friendship with the prince as light as clear water. ”

"Okay, your friend, this king will hand it over." King Hyun said with a smile.

"The prince has come here after a long time, so it's better to leave after dinner." Liao Yong said.

"Nope. It's not too early to see the hour. In the evening, I had to go into the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and I had already said that I would accompany the Queen Mother to dinner today. Thank you for your kindness. ”

He Xuan, Zuo Liang and Liao Yong also stood up and got up to send off King Xian.

After King Xian left, Liao Yong gently knocked He Xuan's head with a fan bone, and said with a smile: "I didn't see anyone in the Taoist temple, so who did I see outside the Taoist temple?" ”

"Liao Yong is really smart......," He Xuan said with a smile, "but can you stop knocking on my head!" ”

"Then you just ......"

"Because I followed that person all the way, and that person at the end...... to the outer wall of the palace. And, I'm going to go again. Some strange voices before I saw the man also made me a little concerned. He Xuan said.

"Let's go together." Zuo Liang said, then looked at Liao Yong and said, "Are you going?" ”

"I don't care...... Still, let's check it out. I can't rest assured that my Brother He Xian is walking with such a rude person as you. It's better for me to follow. ”

Speaking of this, Liao Yong looked at He Xuan with a wicked smile on his face.

He Xuan took the teacup and drank it, taking a sip of tea, but her eyes didn't leave Liao Yong's face, she thought to herself: What did he see yesterday? And what did you guess? No, if he already knew that I was a woman, I'm afraid Zuo Liang would have known it by this time. But looking at Zuo Liang's appearance, he didn't know it at all. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it...... This annoying Liao Yong, what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd...... Of course, maybe he's just guessing, so I don't want to mess with myself yet......
