Chapter 216: Prevarication

When Zhao Yiyan heard Zhongli speak, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, he only felt that his whole body was numb, his cheeks were rapidly flushed from his cheeks to his neck, and he even felt that there was a hot current that quickly passed through the limbs and bones of his body to a certain position in his body.

He was startled by his sudden feeling, his face changed, and he hurriedly pushed Zhongli away.

But his eyes didn't dare to look at Zhongli anymore, he only looked at other places with a red face, and secretly scolded himself in his heart that he was too much to Meng Lang, he was simply not as good as a beast, and even his younger brother wanted to think about it.

And Zhongli was even more uncomfortable than Zhao Yiyan, because she was originally a daughter, but Zhao Yiyan actually had feelings for him, which ......

Especially, the faint melancholy feeling that rose in her heart made her frightened.

Should she ......

Zhongli raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yiyan, who was tall and tall next to him, thinking carefully about the scenes of his contact with Zhao Yiyan, and couldn't help but feel bitter.

My sister may be a prophecy, and she has thoughts about Zhao Yiyan that she shouldn't have.

It's just, for a man who has already bent, how can she straighten people?

Besides, his current identity can only bring a burden to Zhao Yiyan after being exposed.

So, Zhongli's mind sank and sank, and after taking a few deep breaths, he let his face return to his former smile.

"Big brother, when did you come back? I didn't know! ”

Hearing Zhongli's voice, Zhao Yiyan seemed to have collected his emotions, but he still nodded hurriedly towards the other party.

"I've been back early, but it's Mingcheng who worries me. I haven't been seen for so long, and I can't leave the house because of my previous illness, so I can only report that matter, and the emperor will order that the four princes investigate. But nothing has progressed, and I'm about to go to school these days, so I'll go by myself, and you'll be back! So where exactly are you these days? Are they embarrassed for you? ”

Looking at Zhao Yiyan's worried expression, Zhongli smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'm fine."

Seeing Zhongli's indifferent expression, Zhao Yiyan frowned dissatisfiedly, feeling especially angry at Zhongli for perfunctory himself like this.

Zhong Li couldn't tell Zhao Yiyan about the house arrest of the four princes to cause a grudge between the two of them, so he just said it briefly.

"After I saw the materials in your study that day, I went to Baihualou to look for you, but I didn't expect to be knocked out and locked up by those people, if it weren't for the fourth prince, I might still be guarded by those people at this time."

Zhongli said as he walked over to a chair in the study and sat down, not wanting to look at him, lest he expose himself.

Zhao Yiyan had been watching Zhongli's movements, and he was also observing the authenticity of Zhongli's words.

"Did those people do anything to you?"

But then I thought about it, the people in black that day might be in the same group as them, and they wouldn't hurt Zhongli.

Sure enough, Zhongli shook his head.

"It's okay, it's not a good time to come to you."

As he spoke, he moved his limbs to let Zhao Yiyan know that he was fine.

After making sure that Zhongli was really fine, Zhao Yiyan was relieved.

"Big brother, where did you go after that day, and why did I find that you weren't there when I went to look for you?"

Speaking of his own affairs, Zhao Yiyan's eyes were a little evasive.

With a light cough, he sat down on the chair beside Zhongli and said lightly.

"I was injured that day and passed out, but I was rescued."

"Hurt? Is it serious? ”

Zhongli asked worriedly.

"It's okay. I've been recuperating in the house for the past few days, and I'm almost fine. ”

I don't know why, Zhao Yiyan was obviously a little lacking in confidence when he spoke, probably because he was afraid that Zhongli would be worried!

Yes, I just don't want Zhongli to worry!

Zhao Yiyan secretly persuaded himself in his heart, but when he thought of something, his brows furrowed again.

These days, his eyes are full of worries about Zhongli's safety, but he has forgotten his life-saving benefactor, perhaps, it is better to let the butler go over and send some silver.

How could Zhongli believe Zhao Yiyan's words.

If the dignified Apocalypse God of War can be injured and pass out, then the injury must be very serious.

But thinking that so long has passed, and he has already raised himself, Zhao Yiyan must be the same. So she didn't want to expose Zhao Yiyan either, Zhongli pretended to be relieved and nodded.

"Did the big brother investigate anything?"

I went to save my eldest brother, but I didn't expect to be imprisoned after being discovered directly, and I didn't find anything.

Zhao Yiyan shook his head.

"Big brother, don't be disappointed, this is normal. You're in the light, and he's in the dark. I'll try to be as careful as possible in the future. ”

Zhongli comforted, however, she still chose to avoid the important and did not say her speculation, so as not to expose herself.

Listening to Zhongli's words, Zhao Yiyan also nodded in agreement.

"Since they've reminded you to leave as soon as the festival is over, you should be ready to leave as soon as possible."

Zhongli wanted to nod, but found that something was wrong with Zhao Yiyan's words.

"Big brother, after dealing with this matter, let's leave as soon as possible."

But Zhao Yiyan didn't respond to him, and looked at Zhongli with a solemn face.

How could the emperor possibly let him leave so easily? In particular, he was involved in this matter.

"Forget it, don't think about this first, think about what the eldest brother should do next, after all, the emperor knows that you have smallpox. This smallpox is not easy to get. ”

Zhongli smiled bitterly and touched his nose.

He was the only one in the entire mansion who suffered from smallpox.

When he made up this lie, he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, but when he woke up, he realized that he had done something stupid again.

Speaking of this, Zhao Yiyan instantly became serious and serious.

"It's okay, the existence of those men in black has given me a way to get out."

At this time, Zhao Zijian was running an errand in the Yamen, and was suddenly approached by his own guards, informing him that Zhongli had been taken away by the princess.

Putting down the things in his hand, Zhao Zijian hurriedly returned to the palace.

The guards who followed the carriage of the Seven Princesses had already returned to the house at this time, waiting for the Fourth Prince to ask questions in the main hall.

"Where is Zhongli now?"

Zhao Zijian frowned and looked at the guard kneeling on the ground and asked.

"Back to the prince, Gongzi Zhong is now in the Qingyang Palace."

Knowing that the prince was very angry now, the guards directly knelt on the ground and reported the truth.

Hearing the answer, Zhao Zijian picked up the teacup next to him and fell directly to the man's side, the quilt exploded instantly, and the scattered debris cut a wound on the man's face, and blood flowed out directly.

"Why don't you stop it?"

"At that time, the princess was in the carriage, and the slave did not dare."

didn't care about the wound on his face, and the other party fell to the ground.

Na Ke is a daughter, what should he do if something happens?

Speaking of these seven princesses, Zhao Zijian was very suspicious that Xiao Qi came to his house to find Zhongli? And after coming, he went straight to Zhongli's residence?

Outsiders don't know that Zhongli is in his own house, who leaked it?

Or is it that in fact, their palace also has the emperor's spies?

But he had already screened the people of the entire palace several times, but anyone who had a problem had all been thrown back to the internal affairs office.

"Where's the princess?"

He turned his head to look at the steward beside him.

"The princess has entered the palace, and I heard that she hasn't come back yet!"

Princess? Enter the palace!

Zhao Zijian sneered, reached out and slapped the table heavily, and the banging sound frightened the entire room to tremble.

They don't seem to have seen the temperamental Zhao Zijian so angry.

"What a fourth princess! Very good! ”

Zhao Zijian, who was originally quite satisfied with the fourth princess, hated people to the bone at this time.

How much effort did it take him to hide it? How much effort did it take him to keep them?

"Fool! Idiot! ”

The people below were silent, eager to cover their ears, for fear that they would be implicated again.

Yesterday, she also quarreled with herself about Zhongli's matter, but she deliberately asked Shan'er to take Zhongli away in order to get rid of Zhongli.

It's just not enough to succeed, more than enough to fail.

Zhao Zijian was angry but did not lose his mind, he carefully sorted out the reason for this situation.

"Go down and get the punishment!"

The man kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately the punishment was not severe.

"Come on, prepare the horses."

Zhao Zijian rushed all the way to Qingyang Palace, but was stopped by someone who stretched out his hand.

said that their old injuries have not healed, and they are not suitable for visitors.

Zhao Zijian's heart thumped, so Zhongli had already told Zhao Yiyan about it?

Also, since he had the intention to leave secretly, he must have been dissatisfied with himself for a long time, but he didn't know if she knew his thoughts?

Zhao Zijian returned home full of anxiety.

The fourth princess, who was practicing calligraphy with Zhao Zichen in the study, suddenly saw Zhao Zijian who appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly stood up and smiled.

"Why did the prince come to me?"

She also thought that the prince was going to hang himself for a few days this time, so let her reflect on it!

Who knew that after returning home, he was told that Zhongli had left, and now that the prince had come to him again, did he mean that it had rained and sunny?

Sure enough, Zhongli is Ke's own person.

Seeing that Zhao Zichen was still there, Zhao Zijian spoke coldly to the maid beside him.

"Leave Xiao Shizi behind."

Finding that the fourth prince's face was not good, the maid hurriedly left the study with Xiao Shizi.

"Lord Wang, is there anything you can't say in front of Chen'er?"

At this time, the princess was very apprehensive in her heart, but she still pretended to be calm and asked.

"Where have you been today?"

Zhao Zijian calmly sat down at the table where Zhao Zichen was just now, and looked at the big characters written by Zhao Zichen expressionlessly.

"Where else can the concubine go, don't you just accompany Chen'er in the courtyard!"

The princess said as if she didn't know anything.

When she first came back, she heard that the Seventh Princess had left with Zhongli, and she was very happy, but now, she was a little unsure.

"I didn't say now!"

Zhao Zijian's voice suddenly rose, and the surrounding maids and minions trembled.

"In addition to being in the mansion, the concubines usually go to the palace to greet the ladies, what else can they do?"

Seeing that the prince was really angry, the princess whispered.
