In the main hall, everyone raised their glasses and drank happily, from time to time someone went to toast Liu Ran and others, Liu Ran took the wine glass of the person who came to congratulate, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Xie Luoying, seeing that she did not look at herself, she drank all the wine in the cup.

The county lord has been observing Liu Ran since he came, and the daughter of the prime minister is really unwilling to succumb to others. The county lord drank the wine in his hand, played with the wine glass, looked at Liu Ran, and smiled sarcastically in his heart, "Since you ask the high-ranking officials to help you, the county lord will help you, but you don't have to regret it in the future", and then, the county lord quietly walked out of the main hall.

The county lord walked outside the hall, leaned on the railing made of white marble, and looked at the sky. A bright moon hung in the dark twilight, showing particularly dazzling. However, the bright moonlight penetrated into the eyes, like countless thin needles falling, and the eyes were pierced with faint pain.

The county lord was forced to leave the night and go to the back garden to sober up.

In the imperial study, a dark shadow knelt in front of the desk and said to the empress: "Today, my subordinates followed the county lord according to Her Majesty's orders, and when they went to the depths of the forest, there were hidden killers to assassinate, and the county lord solved the killers alone. After that, the county lord went to the edge of the forest alone. ”

The empress frowned and wondered, "Are you sure she's alone?" ”

Once again, the guard replied firmly, "Yes, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes. ”

After being affirmed, the empress understood, it turned out that her guess over the years was correct, she, the niece of the county lord, was not doing her job on the surface, but in fact she was working hard. Oh, it is worthy of being the daughter of my general Shao, even I was almost deceived.

"And then?"

"Later...... "The secret guard had already known that the empress had asked this question, and he was very worried, although he was ready to commit suicide, but when the matter came, he was still afraid.

"Huh? And then again? ”

Realizing that the empress was waiting impatiently, the secret guard said, "Later, the subordinates followed to the edge of the forest and fell unconscious, and when the subordinates woke up, they saw the corpses of the forest guards. ”

Hearing this, the empress waved her sleeves, "Waste." ”

The secret guard knew that he was derelict in his duties, and he didn't dare to ask Her Majesty the Empress for forgiveness, "My subordinates know their mistakes, for the sake of my subordinates who have followed Her Majesty the Empress for many years and done their best, I also ask Her Majesty the Empress to give her subordinates all the corpses." ”

As soon as the empress closed her eyes, she said, "Yes, go down." ”

The guard saluted the Empress and exited the study.

It seems that tonight, someone is going to quietly disappear into this calm night.

In the Imperial Garden, the county lord is taking a leisurely stroll. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.

The county lord smiled, "Miss Liu, you still can't hold your breath as your mother." ”

Liu Ran snorted, "Everyone else is afraid of you, but I'm not afraid, it's better than my fist, I'm better than you." ”

Liu Ran had long heard that the county lord was lustful, did not do his job, and could not succeed in martial arts, if it were not for the marriage of the saint today, I am afraid that there would be no horses in the county king's mansion so far.

The county lord smiled, "I didn't expect that the daughter of the prime minister today still believes those rumors in the market, it's really funny." ”

With that, she pulled it with one hand, and one of Liu Ran's arms was clamped behind her and couldn't move.

Before Liu Ran could react, he felt a pain in his shoulder, "You ......." In an instant, the county lord let go of Liu Ran, with a calm face, as if the incident just now had not happened.

The county lord said coldly: "Didn't the prime minister teach Miss Liu?" Don't mess with the county king's mansion. ”

Liu Ran saw the fierce eyes of the county lord, obviously he was no longer the gentleman who was rumored on the street, and it was the Hades King who was alive, which made her heart tremble when she saw it, and she was completely at a loss at the moment.

"Miss Liu, don't be nervous, you performed very well in the autumn hunt today, and the county lord will definitely let you pass this year's martial arts test."

Hearing the county lord say this, Liu Ran subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but the fear in his eyes did not weaken by half a point, "What are the conditions?" ”

understands that people are easy to speak, and the county lord did not go around in circles, and said bluntly: "There are no conditions, and the favor of the county master will be returned in the future." ”

Liu Ran was a little surprised, she heard that the Junwang Mansion would never do loss-making business, why did she come here, how could this matter be so easy, she couldn't help asking, "That's all?" ”

The county lord smiled, "That's all. ”

After receiving the affirmation, Liu Ran put his mind at ease. However, Liu Ran has been influenced by her mother since she was a child, and she is cautious in everything, so she thought carefully about what the county lord just said.

Then she thought, what if what the county wanted her to do would affect the Prime Minister's Mansion?

The county lord waited patiently for Liu Ran to think about it, and suddenly saw Liu Ran's brows furrowed, she smiled, and said secretly, "Miss Liu really looks like the prime minister, I hope she is not wrong."

She saw through Liu Ran's worries, as if she was comforting, "Don't worry, you will never be implicated in the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Liu Ran heard the words of the county lord and was reassured, so she saluted the county lord, "Thank you, county lord." ”

The matter has been done, and it is useless for the county lord to stay longer, "The hour is not early, Miss Liu, please do it." So, the county lord took the lead and left.

In the imperial study, the empress threw down the music fiercely, and Xiao Kuang, the empress's personal eunuch outside the door, heard the movement and immediately rushed over, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon." ”

Xiao Kuang leaned over and picked up the fold on the ground, and put it on the desk respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are like this, the old slave is worried." ”

Her Majesty looked at Xiao Kuang, who had been by her side for many years, and most of her anger had disappeared, and sighed, "You say, did I do something wrong back then?" It's useless, and no one can protect it now. ”

Xiao Kuang felt very uncomfortable when he heard Her Majesty the Empress say this, "Your Majesty, I don't blame you for what happened back then, you are also for Tianchen Kingdom." ”

The empress got up, walked outside the door, and looked at the endless night, "Don't mention the things of the past. ”

Xiao Kuang took a cloak and draped it on the empress's body, "What Her Majesty said is that people always have to look forward. ”

Seeing that the empress was calm at the moment, Xiao Kuang asked carefully, "Your Majesty, do we still want to go over to the main hall?" ”

After Xiao Kuang's suggestion, Her Majesty remembered that there was still a banquet in the main hall, and it must be about the same at this time, "Let's go, go and see." ”

In the magnificent hall, the lights were bright, Her Majesty the Empress walked into the main hall, sat on the main seat, she looked at the people sitting down and were very pleased, maybe some of these people can become the pillars of my Tianchen Kingdom.

Seeing the Empress seated, everyone picked up the wine glass to salute Her Majesty the Empress, and after the Empress drank the cup, she said: "This year's autumn hunting harvest is quite fruitful, showing that there are many capable people in the younger generations of my Tianchen Kingdom, and I hope that everyone here can become the pillars of my Tianchen Country, make meritorious contributions, and defend the country." ”

As soon as the empress said this, everyone said in unison: "I will live up to Her Majesty's expectations, and I hope that my Tianchen country will be prosperous and prosperous, and the four seas will be peaceful." ”

Her Majesty looked at everyone with delight, and there was an indescribable relief in her heart.

At this point, the dinner is over.

Her Majesty the Empress walked on the way back to the palace, "Why don't you see the county lord?" Xiao Kuang realized that Her Majesty was slightly angry, so he spoke: "There may be something to go home." ”

The Empress snorted coldly, "She's been getting more and more lawless lately. With that, he strode forward.

Xiao Kuang hurriedly caught up with the empress, "Her Majesty knows that the county lord is that temperamental, don't worry about it." ”

When the empress heard Xiao Kuang say this, she retorted: "I'm not worried, I'm angry." ”

"Okay, well, Her Majesty is whatever she says."

……

The county lord walked out of the palace after walking from the imperial garden, and on the way, the county lord kept thinking about who was the person who followed her today? And what is the purpose? However, what the county lord didn't know was that the man had disappeared forever.

"County Lord, I've arrived."

The carriage stopped, and the county lord got up and jumped out of the carriage directly and walked into the mansion.

At this time, the county lord's personal Xiao Si Wujian walked over, "County lord, where are you resting tonight?" ”

The county lord glared at him and blurted out directly, "Study." ”

Infernal followed the county lord and went straight to the study. After arriving at the study, the county lord leaned directly over the desk, picked up the brush and thought, "Infernal, tell them to retreat first." ”

After everyone in the room went out, Wujian grinded for the county lord as usual.

At this time, the county lord spoke: "Infernal, you can also go down." ”

Wujian looked at the county lord, and saw that the county lord was writing an article before the case, and he couldn't see anything abnormal, so he retreated with peace of mind.

After a long time, the study was still brightly lit, and there was no time to guard the door, waiting all the time.

In the Xingchen Garden, Chen Ziwei looked at the full moon outside the window, the moonlight was bright, but it made people feel desolate. Wu Ji had been watching the window open in the courtyard for a long time, so he stepped forward and said to Chen Ziwei: "Horse, close the window, it's cold at night, don't catch a cold." ”

Chen Ziwei shook his head, looked at the dark night, and suddenly ordered: "Wuji, have you gone to see if the county lord has returned?" ”

"Yes, colt, let's go, don't hesitate to go, donkey the window first."

After Chen Ziwei closed the window, he went to the main courtyard.

At the same time, in the Lingshuang Pavilion, Yi'er couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and the imperial doctors outside immediately rushed over when they heard the movement, "Little master, what's wrong with you?" But what's the discomfort? ”

Yi'er saw that she woke up the imperial doctors, so she replied politely with apologies: "It's okay, but I'm restless and can't sleep peacefully." I'm sorry for you. ”

Seeing that Yi'er's worried appearance might affect the fetus in the womb, the imperial doctors asked more, "Why is the little master so restless?" Maybe we can relieve the little master's worries? ”

Yi'er knew that according to the usual actions of the imperial doctors, if he didn't make it clear today, I was afraid they wouldn't stop.

Yi'er rubbed her forehead and said, "I want to know where the county lord is at the moment?" ”

As soon as Yi'er finished speaking, a group of imperial doctors instructed Xiao Si to investigate. Wuzhi was guarding the door at the moment, and when he heard the orders of the imperial doctors, he immediately went forward.

So, in front of the study, the two guards with heads and faces in the county king's mansion came to the infernal.

Infernal thought, what day is today, why are both of you here? "No inhibition, no attachment, why are you all here?"

Wu Ji was the first to speak: "Infernal, can the county lord come back?" ”

Infernal pointed to the study, meaning inside.

After learning that the county lord was in the study, Wu Ji returned to Xingchen Garden.

At this time, Wujian looked at Wuzhi, "Brother Wuzhi, what are you doing here?" ”

Wuzhi said frankly: "It's the same as Wuji." Now that I know, I'll go back first, and take care of my brothers. ”

Infernal looked at his two brothers, and couldn't help but scratch his head, why did they all come to ask his master today?
