The salt and iron case is over, and Chen Lu should return to Weiyang City. He searched back and forth in the street market away from the city, but still could not see the man. Tomorrow he was about to leave for Weiyang City, he said goodbye to the emperor and found that the emperor's face was not very good.

Before leaving, I decided to visit Sima's Mansion so as not to lose the courtesy. Thinking so, Chen Lu had already come to Sima's mansion, and Sima Shangshu received him in the front hall. He sipped his tea and looked around.

"Lord Chen?"

"Sima Shangshu." Chen Lu had a feeling of being a thief.

"Why is Lord Chen so distracted? I don't know why I'm worried, or who is I worried about? ”

"Sima Gongzi ......"

"......" Sima Shangshu choked, what did he do if he had nothing to worry about his child? Seeing his spring-hearted appearance, Sima Shangshu had goosebumps all over his body, and he still stubbornly asked, "Which Sima Gongzi?" ”

"Sima Ergongzi, he ......" Chen Lu wanted to speak and stopped, but he couldn't say that he came to find Heiyue.

"He was recently grounded under the Qin, he always likes to run around, and he doesn't learn from other people's gentlemen, so he was grounded below."

"Can the lower official go and see him?" Chen Lu asked tentatively, he didn't want to run for nothing. Sima Gongzi was afraid that his father would work hard, so he deliberately went to Weiyang City to help Sima Shangshu investigate the case, but he didn't expect to be mistaken by Sima Shangshu for not learning and unskilled, and he was grounded. No wonder he wandered around the market for a long time, but he didn't see Sima Gongzi and Black Moon.

Wait a minute......

"When did Sima Gongzi come back?"

"Two days before Lord Chen arrived in the capital." Sima Shangshu replied truthfully.

"So." Chen Lu's hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again. So when he is attacked, who will save him?

Sima Shangshu led Chen Lu to Sima Wanqin's courtyard, Chen Lu looked at his back from a distance, he sat alone in the courtyard, looking a little desolate. Obviously, when he was in Weiyang City, he gave people a positive and optimistic feeling, why did he have such a big contrast when he saw him alone?

"Sima Gongzi." Chen Lu walked into the courtyard.

Sima Wanqin turned around when he heard the sound, saw Chen Lu, and stood up a little incredulously. His eyes returned to color, and he changed to the same as when he saw him in Weiyang City: "Lord Chen has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!" ”

"Where?" Chen Lu stepped forward: "The dust has settled on the salt and iron case in Weiyang, I should go back, and I came to say goodbye to you, by the way, what about the little girl who followed you?" ”

"People aren't the little girls who follow me." Sima Yuqin knew that his purpose was not pure: "There is nothing you can do about it." ”

"But...... Didn't Sima Gongzi say that she was your guard? ”

"Master Chen is deceiving herself, you all know that she is disguised as a man, so is her identity as my guard still valid?"

Sima Yuqin's rhetorical question stopped Chen Lu, he thought about it and pleaded: "Can't you really tell Zai Xia where she is?" ”

"There's really nothing you can do." Sima Wanqin shook his head: "If you have a fate, you will see you again." If it is not possible, I still persuade Lord Chen to die of this heart as soon as possible! lest the good years be wasted. ”

"But ......" Chen Lu's eyes flashed with a hint of injury, and he glanced at the man in front of him who was struggling to persuade him, and a thought flashed in his mind: "Sima Gongzi is not also ......."

"Lord Chen thinks too much." Sima Wanqin interrupted him, the person he liked, he never dared to speak.

"So." Chen Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Lu said goodbye to Sima Wanqin and got up to go back to Weiyang City. I didn't see the black moon on this trip, which is a big regret in my heart. Everywhere I went, I was thinking silently.

……

King Xian's Mansion Qingning Temple.

Zuo Xiang and King Xian sat in the courtyard, and Shangguan Tinghan stood behind Zhongli Bojun with his sword.

The two were playing against each other in the courtyard, and Zuo Xiang dropped the sunspot in his hand and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness King Xian, you are just one step away from being done." ”

"The last step is also the most critical step, if you make the wrong move, you lose everything." Zhongli Bojun held Baizi in one hand, and was hesitating which move to play.

"King Xian can rest assured, no matter what, I will let you go."

"Lord Zuo Xiang laughed." Zhongli Bojun fell into Baizi: "We didn't make a move this time, it was the third brother who blocked his own way." ”

"Maybe His Royal Highness King Ping just made the last wrong move, and I heard Sima Shangshu say that His Royal Highness King Ping is going to frame him...... But Your Highness. Zuo Xiangfu picked up a sunspot, his eyes fell on the chessboard, and the corner of his mouth was an unknown smile.

"In this way, it is still the fortune of this king."

"Next, how does His Royal Highness King Xian plan to go?"

"Lord Zuo Xiang hasn't fallen yet, why is this king in a hurry?" Zhongli Bojun hooked his lips and smiled.

Now he has long lost the gentleness he had when he first met Wei Ziyu, and has replaced it with calculation and scheming. When he is infected with this non-flashiness, it is no longer the beauty in Wei Ziyu's heart.

So Wei Ziyu chose to leave and chose Zhongli Boqian.

"That's all for today, and what to do next, we have to think about it in the long run. If you are too anxious, you will take the wrong path at the most critical moment, and success or failure is only a thought. Zuo Xiang put down the sunspot in his hand, got up and patted the folds of his clothes.

"Lord Zuo, don't send it if you go." Zhongli Bojun also put down the white son in his hand, stood up and looked at the back of Zuo Xiang's departure: "Isn't it a grasshopper on a rope?" Why don't you do your part for the king? Otherwise, what's the use of you? ”

"Lord Wang." Shangguan listened to Han's voice and interrupted Zhongli Bojun, who was immersed in his thoughts: "You have changed a lot. ”

"Experience will make a person change, and the person who maintains his original intention, this king has not seen it yet."

"Lord Wang, isn't the Seventh Highness just one? He's always there for you! Shangguan Tinghan drooped his eyelids.

"......" This Shangguan listens to the cold, he is also the one who keeps his original intention! After going through so much, he is still the same as he was at the beginning. Every time I communicate with him, I will be silenced by him.

It is undeniable that Zhongli Bojun has indeed become different from before. After experiencing setbacks, it is his own choice to change himself or stay the same.

……

Captain's Mansion.

Wei Ziyu stood in the courtyard of Wangyunxuan, looking at the ripe red beans, and made difficulties in eating them. Yu Kexin came to Wangyunxuan and saw her standing here for a long time, and she didn't know what she wanted to do.

"Sister." Wei Ziyu stopped Yu Kexin, who was about to quietly turn around and leave: "How do you say this red bean should be eaten?" ”

"Huh?" Yu Kexin stopped and walked to her side: "Let's make red bean cake!" ”

"But I won't."

"Learn with the cook." Yu Kexin nodded: "What the cook does, you can do." ”

"Oh!" Wei Ziyu answered, then stopped caring about where Wei Kexin went, and walked towards the dining room with his feet raised. After picking fresh red beans and working in the dining room with the cook for a long time, her red bean cake was baked.

Excitedly looking at the eight red bean cakes he made with his own hands, no one could touch them. Running back to Wangyunxuan with great interest, he pulled the black moon into the dining room. Wei Ziyu looked around for a food box, put eight pieces of red bean cake in it, mentioned it to Heiyue, and said with a smile: "Go, send it to King Xian's Mansion, watch His Highness Seven finish eating, and then come back to tell me how it tastes." ”

"Oh~" Compared with the enthusiastic Wei Ziyu, Black Moon can be described as lacking in interest.

Even so, she did not dare to delay. Walked to the Xianwang Mansion and sent someone to report. Zhongli Boqian heard that the black moon was coming, and the black moon appeared here, which meant that Wei Ziyu had something to look for him, thinking of this, he hurriedly ran out of the Hanxiao Courtyard.

"Black Moon, did Ziyu ask you to come to see His Highness?"

"yes!" Heiyue raised the food box in his hand: "Finish eating now, and then tell me how it tastes, I'm going back to report to Miss." ”

"Really?" Zhongli Boqian's eyes lit up, he opened the food box, and when he saw the red bean cake that looked good, he immediately smiled from ear to ear: "Haha...... Lovesick in love! ”

"Puff......" Kuroksu couldn't help but laugh, and Koharu stood aside and looked at his master with a smile.

"Uh...... "so sweet...... Zhongli Boqian frowned, saw Heiyue staring at him, and said with a smile: "It's delicious...... It's so sweet! ”

"Then I'll finish eating it all, and I'll go back to pay for it."

"......" is really too sweet, how much sugar did Ziyu add? With a slip of my hand, I put all the sugar in the bowl!

Zhongli Boqian ate the eight pieces of red bean cake hard, Heiyue covered the food box with satisfaction, and before she could turn around, His Highness the Seventh turned around and ran towards the courtyard.

Black Moon shook her head and turned back to her home.

Zhongli Boqian hiccuped and drank a lot of tea before he recovered.

Wei Ziyu listened to Heiyue's words, and remembered that when the two of them planted beans, he said the lovesickness in his heart. She felt that these red beans should all be eaten by Zhongli Boqian, so that he could experience what it means to be lovesick.

Wei Ziyu, who felt that she had put too much sugar, started a new attempt again, and learned the lesson of the last time, she put a lot of sugar less. After the red bean cake was ready, it was sent to King Xian's Mansion by Black Moon.

When Zhongli Boqian heard Hei Yue's arrival, he trotted out all the way, knowing that Hei Yue wanted him to eat eight red bean cakes, and the smile on his face gradually stiffened, and finally turned into a smirk.

Ziyu can't do a good job, either too sweet or too light.

"It's too light." Zhongli Boqian finished eating the eight pieces of red bean cake and squeezed out these three words from between his teeth.

Black Moon nodded, and turned to leave.

"Ouch, this girl of Black Moon is becoming more and more casual, and she is becoming less and less concerned about His Royal Highness."

"Your Highness the Seven......" Xiaochun glanced at Zhongli Boqian meaningfully: "She is Miss Ziyu's side." ”

In a word, Zhongli Boqian, who was a little mentally disturbed because he had eaten too much red bean cake, was smoothed out. Wei Ziyu listened to Heiyue's words, mastered the quantity, made the red bean cake, and asked Heiyue to send it to King Xian's mansion.

When Zhongli Boqian heard that the black moon was coming again, he took heavy steps, lowered his head and walked slowly to the door of the mansion, resigned himself to opening the food box, picking up the red bean cake and putting it in his mouth, as if he had been greatly wronged.

The taste this time was excellent, but he had already eaten sixteen palm-sized red bean cakes, the portion was very large, plus these eight pieces, he had eaten a total of twenty-four pieces, and he had eaten all the red bean cakes in this life, and he never wanted to touch this thing again in his life. If he ate these eight pieces, Wei Ziyu also sent red bean cakes, and he went to the governor's mansion to find Wei Ziyu to work hard.
