Xiao Guiren was about to cry with joy.

Xuan Hall is obviously in front of him, the emperor actually went around and came to her palace to rest, what a great honor this is!

Xiao Guiren, who had been neglected for a long time and trembled all day long, finally showed a smile on her face at this moment, she carefully climbed onto the couch, half-knelt beside Ling Tiancheng, gently beat his back, pinched his shoulders, and her eyes lingered on that handsome and young face from time to time.

Ling Tiancheng narrowed his eyes, seemingly enjoying Xiao Guiren's service, but his mouth was like gossip about the early dynasty with her.

And also said his decision: "Maybe Zhuang Xiang is really innocent, whether it is to return to the court, without his assistance during this time, I feel that the court is a lot more deserted." ”

Xiao Guiren's hands trembled a little, but she clenched her fists so hard that she didn't even dare to respond to Ling Tiancheng's words.

Because she was afraid that once she opened her mouth, she would reveal her flaws, and she was even more afraid that this was Ling Tiancheng's temptation of her.

For the first time, she didn't hope for Ling Tiancheng to stay in her palace for a few more moments, but respectfully sent him out.

Then he immediately repaired the book and gave his father who was outside the palace to inform him of the emperor's decision.

At the same time, the speculation about Ling Tiancheng's case against Zhuang Changyuan did not go straight in the entire Dasheng Dynasty.

Even Zhuang Siyan, who has no relationship with the inner palace, has heard of it.

She sat in her side hall, holding a brush in her hand, and originally wanted to learn from those literati and scholars and make a poem.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have that kind of poetic picture in my mind, only two big question marks.

Lan Xin was puzzled and asked her, "Miss, what is this?" ”

Zhuang Siyan raised his eyebrows: "I don't know either, so didn't you see it as a question mark?" ”

This Ling Tiancheng is also poisonous enough, while asking her to investigate the case, he handed it over to others, and also said that he would be dealt with leniently, and said that Zhuang Changyuan was wronged before.

Don't you understand stumbling with her?

If she really found out something in the end, wouldn't everyone say that she Zhuang Siyan was ungrateful and personally cheated her father?

Fortunately, now she is not surnamed Zhuang, she has changed her surname to Ye, but when she thinks about it, it is still strange.

But thinking about Ling Tiancheng's initial attention to this case, it didn't seem like he was going to deal with it casually, so what did he want to do?

Want to get away with it?

This method is okay, as long as Zhuang Changyuan is restored to his original position, those who are close to him will immediately contact him, and in this way, it will expose what he is doing secretly faster.

However, between their master-employment relationship, Zhuang Siyan still wanted to verify it with Ling Tiancheng in person.

As a result, he waited until noon, Ling Tiancheng did not return to the Xuan Palace, and the little eunuch at the door told her that the emperor had gone to Xiao Guiren.

Zhuang Siyan stuck out his tongue, the taste is quite heavy, and he still remembers Xiao Guiren!

Not long after lunch, the snowflakes were falling in patches.

After a while, the entire Xuan Hall was covered in white.

Zhuang Siyan stood under the edge of the corridor and watched the snow, but his eyes were aimed at the door of the main hall in the distance, waiting for Ling Tiancheng to come back.

But until dusk, the snow fell in a thick layer, and I still didn't see this guy come back.

Zhuang Siyan couldn't hold it down.

What kind of routine is this, she has a case to discuss with him now, but the man seems to be deliberately avoiding her, and he hasn't seen her since last night.

It's okay if the two of them aren't in the same palace, but now they're obviously under the same roof, but they're hiding alone, how awkward they think.

Zhuang Siyan thought, did I offend him?

It seems that there is not, and I have always been polite to my employer.

If there's anything wrong, it's probably the wooden card from last night.

Thinking of this, she began to test Lan Xin intentionally or unintentionally, to see if she knew a wooden plaque engraved with the word "Zhuang" and related to Zhuang Siyan and Old Man Zhuang.

Lan Xin looked confused, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she didn't know anything.

Zhuang Siyan was even more depressed, her time was limited, only three months, and if others didn't come to see her, she couldn't wait.

Tread the snow out of the door of the Xuan Palace, and went straight to the Chen Xi Palace.

Li Fu saw Zhuang Siyan coming over from a distance, and hurriedly went back to report to Ling Tiancheng.

Ling Tiancheng didn't raise his head, and his tone was cold: "No, I said that I was busy." ”

Before Li Fu could go out to reply, Zhuang Siyan actually ran in by himself.

That's right, she ran in by herself, she didn't ask the eunuch to reply, and she didn't ask Ling Tiancheng if he agreed, the eunuch at the door was about to open her mouth to stop her, and she passed between the two of them on one side of her body, leaving only her palace people to them.

"Ling Xuan, you've eaten here, why don't you call me?" This was Zhuang Siyan's first sentence after seeing Ling Tiancheng.

Or maybe it was the first thing she said when she saw a table full of dishes.

Then he sat with him familiarly, picked up the spoon he had just used, scooped a sip of soup, drank it, and then exhaled and said: "It's much warmer, it's snowing so hard outside, I came from Xuandian, and I almost froze to death on the road." ”

Ling Tian was still wrinkling his face, and even wanted to drive her out, but when he heard this, his eyes moved to Zhuang Siyan's body, and he swallowed his words.

Instead, he got up and took his cloak and wrapped it around her shoulders: "Is it cold outside?" ”

Li Fu, who was next to him, saw this, silently retreated, and closed the door of the palace for the two of them by the way.

Zhuang Siyan was not polite at all, pulled his cloak tight, took a deep breath and said, "Yes, it's cold, it's snowing, and I'm freezing to death." Hey, it smells so good on your clothes. ”

Ling Tiancheng's heart moved, but his tone was quite calm: "On such a cold day, you don't stay in the Xuan Palace, what are you doing running out?" ”

Zhuang Siyan scooped a sip of the soup and handed it to Ling Tiancheng: "Come on, come on, you take a sip, I was too cold just now, I just knew that it was very warm to drink, and I didn't taste the taste of this soup, now I have a taste, it's really delicious!" ”

Ling Tiancheng: "......"

Did she hear what she was saying?

But he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, his Yan'er finally showed closeness to him and brought the soup to his lips, did he still have to blame her at this time?

Of course not, let's have soup.

Then the two of them took one bite of you and one of me, and ate a table of food and drank all the soup.

Zhuang Siyan then asked Ling Xuan with his stomach full of food, "What's wrong with you, why are you still hiding from me?" ”

The question was too direct, but Ling Tiancheng didn't know how to answer.

In the harem, even if the emperor doesn't want to see anyone, shouldn't those palace concubines wake up to themselves? How can anyone question the emperor?

But Zhuang Siyan's positioning at the beginning was not a palace concubine, but Ling Tiancheng's client.

So she felt that there must be something wrong with her employer hiding from her, so she naturally didn't think about the hierarchical relationship between the two.

Or maybe she's deliberately ignoring them, after all, it's more comfortable.

If she abides by the palace rules, then don't investigate the case, because the concubine herself can't interfere in court politics.

Seeing that Ling Tiancheng didn't speak, Zhuang Siyan leaned next to him and asked, "You left too quickly yesterday, and I didn't have time to tell you about some things, so many things happened in the palace today, I thought it might be related to the wooden sign yesterday, so I came to report to you." ”

Ling Tiancheng raised his eyes to look at her, noncommittal, and didn't seem to care about it.

But Zhuang Siyan replied very seriously: "I went out last night and was robbed, and then the man stuffed me with a wooden card."

I see that there is also a 'Zhuang' word engraved on it, which may be related to the old man Zhuang, so I want to come back and study it carefully, but I didn't expect to meet you just now, and the result was taken by you.

Now that the wooden sign is in your hand, and I haven't inquired about it, can you tell me about its origin? ”

She spoke sincerely, her eyes were bright, and there was a light of thirst for answers, and there was no sign of lying.

This kind of Zhuang Siyan made Ling Tiancheng love and hate.

His eyes narrowed slightly, forming a narrow arc, and when he spoke to Zhuang Siyan, his tone was also a little detached: "I really can't remember?" ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Of course, if I can remember, will I still ask you?" ”

Ling Tiancheng took out the wooden card he had put away, put it in front of Zhuang Siyan, and asked again, "I really can't remember it at all?" ”

Zhuang Siyan shook his head again.

Ling Tiancheng's tone was a little colder: "Since you can't remember the past, why do you still remember your father?" ”

Zhuang Siyan's heart was confused, his eyes blinked a few times, and he almost rushed out of his mouth about the things that came through the crossing.

However, in order not to be regarded as a psychopath by Ling Tiancheng, he still replied very seriously: "Lan Xin, what she told me, she said that she is the girl, I am the young lady of the banker, and then my father is the old man of the village." ”

Well, Ling Tiancheng was speechless, he actually ignored this person.

Lan Xin has followed Zhuang Siyan since she was a child, and then followed her into the palace, so she is more familiar with the Zhuang family than anyone else.

And Zhuang Siyan has amnesia, and she has no amnesia, so it is logical to mention the matter of the Zhuang family to the master.

Ling Tiancheng made enough excuses for Zhuang Siyan in his heart, and forgave her for all her current behaviors, but felt more distressed for her.

He gave her back the wooden sign and said, "This is what I gave you." ”

"Huh? You sent it? So why is it in someone else's hands? ”

Ling Tiancheng said flatly: "It may be that you didn't put it away and were taken by others, or it may be that someone stole it." ”

Zhuang Siyan was even more strange: "Then this thing must be very important, otherwise no one will steal it, and this wooden block is not worth much." ”

In front of Ling Tiancheng's eyes, the situation of giving her a wooden card at that time appeared.

In fact, this wooden plaque was Zhuang Changyuan's conspiracy, and Ling Tiancheng also saw it at that time, but he still did it, but he didn't want Zhuang Siyan to be caught between himself and his father.

"This wooden plaque is really important, because when I gave it to you, I said that if one day I ascend to the throne, you can take it and ask me for anything."

Zhuang Siyan's eyes widened, and he looked at Ling Tiancheng for a long time, then suddenly clutched the wooden card tightly and said, "Really? May I ask for another five thousand taels of silver? Oh no, gold, so I can't spend it for the rest of my life, hahaha......

Also, you have to let me out of the palace, so that I can spend money arbitrarily, spend all day and wine, and flirt with handsome guys and beauties......"
