Yixuan's heart was depressed and uncomfortable. When she got off the kang and walked outside the house, the cold wind blew her shivering.

Cold. How cold should Zhao Yan be?

is also a prince, why was he born inferior? Why can't his efforts be exchanged for a trace of praise from the emperor? Why is he so sad on the road of the emperor?

She felt sorry for Zhao Yan.

She is probably the only person in this world who will feel sorry for Zhao Yan.

Shuang'er walked out and put a cloak on Yixuan.

"Why did Zhao Yurou only take out such an important thing now?" Yi Xuan asked with a sneer.

In fact, Shuang'er has always wondered, why did Yixuan call Princess Hejing by her name? And the tone is always a little hostile. But the master's affairs are not her control.

The two maidservants said that the princess was timid and did not dare to make it public after receiving the edict. Later, the first emperor died. When the emperor ascended the throne, the people were panicked. She didn't dare to run out and speak against her at this time. Moreover, the emperor named Xiao as the queen mother, and also named her the eldest princess of Hejing, so she completely suppressed the matter. ”

"This time I took out the edict because of the horses. The eldest princess planned to use the edict to make a deal with King Yu and let King Yu release the horse. ”

Idiot.

Zhao Zhen never disdained to make any deals with people. The final result was that Zhao Yurou confessed the edict, and the concubine still had to be exiled.

Yi Xuan stomped his feet angrily, turned around and instructed Shuang'er: "Don't tell Uncle Changbai about this." ”

"Lady-" Shuang'er didn't dare to agree. She was originally trained by Wen Changbai. Although Wen Changbai asked her to serve the lady, he also told her that the lady had to return to her if she had anything to do, and she should not hide it.

Yi Xuan's gaze swirled coldly across her face, almost scrutinizing. Shuang'er was pressed by this gaze and lowered his head.

She has always had the feeling that Wen Yixuan is not a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl at all. She pretends to be ignorant and cute in front of people, but she always looks cold and sees through everything in the back.

"It doesn't matter who your former master was. Since you have been appointed to me, I alone can drive you. If not, you can go. Go back to Uncle Changbai. ”

She hated betrayal, both then and now.

Shuang'er was startled, knelt down and kowtowed to Yixuan: "Don't worry, lady, slave and maid...... Not a word will be spoken. ”

Yi Xuan smiled very shallowly, "Really? ”

"If the lady doesn't believe it, just abolish the slave's throat." Shuang'er raised her head and looked at Yixuan with a resolute expression.

After a moment of silence, Yixuan helped her up, "It's good that you understand." Let's go to the palace again in two days. ”

*

Yixuan specially chose a time when Zhao Zhen was not there.

The people in the palace knew her, and even if King Yu was not there, they would not stop her. Yixuan pretended to be in the palace for a while, and asked Shuang'er to inquire in the kitchen.

"Lady. Every day at noon, there will be maids to bring food to the king of Kangning. ”

There were only two people who delivered the food. It just so happened that Yixuan asked Shuang'er to knock the two of them out in the ear room, and the two of them changed into the maid's clothes, carried the big red carved lacquer food box, and lowered their heads to the courtyard behind Merlin.

Both of them were nervous along the way, for fear that their identities would be revealed. Fortunately, the guards had no intention of observing the two little maids, and they were mixed up.

When Yixuan arrived, Zhao Shen was practicing stone carving in the house. Zhao Shen's one-handed golden knife is wonderful, thanks to the fact that he has practiced stone carving since he was a child, and has cultivated an arm strength beyond ordinary people. Zhao Shen's pen and ink are rarely given to others, only a few are given to the emperor, and she is also fortunate to get two, which should still be left in the original home.

Zhao Shen tied the jade crown, wore a moon-white uniform, and his figure was long and beautiful. When he heard the movement, he didn't look up, but he still concentrated on the stone carving under his hand.

Yixuan put down the food box, walked up to Zhao Shen and said softly, "Please have dinner with the king of the county." ”

Zhao Shen's body stiffened, and he looked up at Yixuan in shock.

In this huge palace, I only know that he is a friend of Zhao Zhen, and they all call him "Gongzi", how can this maid know his identity?

He put down the carving knife and walked up to Yixuan, gently picking her face with his fingers. He remembered that this was the girl in the plum blossom forest that day.

His heart suddenly fluttered, he rubbed the tear mole in the corner of Yixuan's eyes with his fingertips, and asked softly, "What's your name?" ”

"Xuan'er."

"How do you know who I am?"

Yi Xuan was stunned, didn't anyone in the palace know that he was Zhao Shen? No wonder when she called him just now, Zhao Shen's expression was so shocked.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly made up her mind, raised her head to meet Zhao Shen's gaze, and said seriously word by word: "Because, I am the one who came to save the king of the county." ”

Save him?

Zhao Shen smiled, let go of Yixuan and walked to the table. He made himself a cup of tea, turned the cup in his hand, and said softly: "You are really ashamed." ”

It doesn't matter if he wants to go out or not. The palace of the king of Yu is heavily guarded, and there are secret guards everywhere to watch. He didn't even have a chance to leave this courtyard, let alone escape from the palace.

What's more, he didn't even think about running away.

Yi Xuan walked up to him and smiled: "I'll serve the king of the county first, otherwise, I will be suspected." ”

Interesting.

Zhao Shen glanced at Yixuan approvingly, "Okay." He sat down at the table, and Yixuan prepared the dishes for him.

"The king of the county is a smart person, and he should know very well the intentions of His Royal Highness King Yu." Yi Xuan was kind and seductive, "The king of the county is arrogant, how can he be willing to be a stepping stone for others to ascend to the top?" King Yu is ambitious and powerful, and he has become a fire and water with today's saints. If you are smart, you should know how to protect yourself, and watching the fire from the other side is the best. The king of the county has a noble heart and disdains to touch the dust of the court, so why should he be instigated to return to this filthy place? Is it for hatred? Or is it for the sake of power? ”

"If it is hatred, the one who calculated you is dead. If you are powerful, once King Yu succeeds, there will be no place for you to stand on this temple. ”

After Yixuan finished speaking, she pinched a cold sweat for herself. She was blatantly angering Zhao Shen. If he twisted her to Zhao Zhen in a fit of anger, then everything she had worked so hard to manage would be in vain.

But the matter has come to this point, only by taking dangerous moves can it be possible to win a slight chance of turning the tables.

She gambled that Zhao Shen would never be willing to be used by Zhao Zhen.

No matter how benevolent and pure he is, he is also a prince who has grown up in the deep palace, and he will not be slaughtered by others.

There was silence for a while. Zhao Shen chewed the dish silently, and only put down the chopsticks for a long time, stared at her with deep eyes and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The master of my family is Zuo Ge Lao." The color of the Yixuan surface does not change.

When he was the first emperor, Zuo Huaisheng was the first assistant to the cabinet and supported Zhao Shen. After Zhao Yan ascended the throne, Nian Zai Zuo Huaisheng was a veteran of the two dynasties, and he did not pursue his faults, but just let him retreat to the group.

She said that she was Zuo Huaisheng's person, and Zhao Shen might not believe it, but at least she would seriously consider her proposal.

Zhao Shen really didn't believe it, "There is no evidence, how can I believe you?" ”

Yi Xuan smiled, exhaled like an orchid, and said in a faint voice: "Do you remember what the county king said to you four years ago, when the county king left Beijing?" ”

Zhao Shen's pupils suddenly constricted.

"There is no way to do it, and it is dangerous to do Sun Yan. You've been in obscurity for so long, so why gamble on your mood? ”

She is in charge of the North Town Fusi, and she clearly remembers all this information in her mind.

Zhao Shen's eyes were slightly dark, he smiled and nodded, "Zuo Ge is bothered." ”

"It's good that the king of the county understands."

Zhao Shen raised his chopsticks again, his slender fingers were distinct, he pinched them hard, and tested Yixuan: "I haven't seen you." Why did Elder Zuo Ge send you? ”

"Because I'm smart." Yixuan replied with a natural smile: "It's not easy to sneak into the palace without being noticed. I'm a little smarter than the others, so Elder Zuo sent me. ”

This explains...... It makes sense. Zhao Shen couldn't help laughing, looked at Yixuan softly for a while, and said, "You are very much like an old friend of mine." ”

Of course, she knew who the "old man" in Zhao Shen's mouth was.

"The king of the county is talking about Queen Jiarou? It is often said that way. How dare I compare with the queen with my humble body? Again...... The humiliation suffered by the king of the county was also because of her. Don't worry, I am the old man of Zuoge, that is, the person of the county king, and I will never harm the king of the county like the queen. ”

She is used to acting, and her expression is sincere and seamless, and it is difficult to doubt.

Zhao Shen smiled silently, looking at Yi Xuan's expression a little gentler, "Your name is Xuan'er, right?" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Shen gently held her hand, the man's palm was just the right temperature, dry and warm. Yi Xuan was at a loss, as if she was burned, she shrank back, her body also took two steps back, and she bowed her head and said nothing.

Zhao Shen was not angry, curled the corners of his lips and said, "Since you are the old man of Zuoge, stay and serve me." On King Yu's side, I will talk to him, and he should not be stingy to give you to me. ”

……

What the?

Is he crazy? She's his great enemy, his great enemy!

"The King of the County." Yi Xuan's expression was a little stiff, "According to Elder Ge's meaning, I will take you out of the palace." After that, you will go back to the fiefdom, and I will go back to the old cabinet to resume my life. ”

"Yes, I'll go back to the fiefdom. You go back with me. Zhao Shen said gently.

"......" she refused.

"The King of the County." Yixuan knelt down and apologized very sincerely, "Forgive the slave and maid for not being able to obey their fate." In the county king's mansion, there are many maids who can serve people. Slaves and maids are coarse, afraid that they will not serve you well. Although there are many slaves and maids in the county king's mansion who eat a mouthful, the slaves and maids do not want to spend the rest of their lives as maids. It is better to let the slaves stay in the capital and do things for the old man of Zuoge and the king of the county. ”

She couldn't go.

The smile on Zhao Shen's face had faded, and his eyes were slightly cold. Looking at the slender girl kneeling on the ground and stubbornly looking, her eyes were calm and resolute. He squinted, returned to his desk, picked up the knife again, and carved the word "Shen".

Yixuan rarely knelt down to people, her knees were already a little sore, she gently leaned her body to the left, lifted her right knee and slowed down, and then her left knee......

The habit of torturing people, Zhao Shen and his sister Zhao Yurou are really the same.

"Xuan'er. You follow me, you won't be just an ordinary maid. Zhao Shen said slowly, "You are very smart, smart people will not be buried." ”

"Or ...... You don't believe I'm going to have a chance to sit in that seat? ”

"Slaves don't dare."

Of course she didn't believe it.

How good can she be if she can deceive the past people in just a few words?

Zhao Shen smiled, his expression subtle, "How could Elder Zuo Ge find you?" You look so much like that guy...... When that person lied to me, he always looked like this. ”

Yi Xuan was shocked! What does he mean by that? Test? Smell a rat? Yixuan suppressed her desire to look up at him, hung her head and said in a muffled voice, "The slave doesn't." ”

Just then, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside. Zhao Shen glanced out the window and said with a smile: "King Yu is here." ”
