On the way back to Chonghua Palace, Lu Jiayue begged the little inner supervisor to find her some clean water.

She cried hoarsely, her face was full of tears, if she went back like this, she was afraid that she would frighten Qu Yi and Ding Yu's mother and daughter.

The little inner supervisor naturally complied, not only prepared clean water, but also fat powder to comb the mirror.

Lu Jiayue hurriedly washed her face, and she didn't care about re-leveling her face, so she straightened her dress and asked the little inner eunuch to lead her back to Chonghua Palace.

Qu Yi and Ding Yu were under the palace gate, looking forward to it.

First of all, Qu Yi found that Lu Jiayue was gone, and he just thought that she was playful for a while and would walk around in Chonghua Palace, so he didn't pay attention to it. After talking to Queen Ding for a while, she still didn't see Lu Jiayue, so she quietly called Ding Yu to look for it.

Ding Yu searched all over the Chonghua Palace, but he didn't see Lu Jiayue.

I inquired again about the palace eunuch at the palace gate, and some people said that they saw Lu Jiayue going outside Chonghua Palace.

Qu Yi and Ding Yu couldn't help but be anxious.

The rules in this palace are strict, the palace is heavy, if she just gets lost and falls, if she accidentally collides with someone or something, how can it be good?

At the moment, he didn't dare to alarm Queen Ding, so he only secretly sent a few palace eunuchs to help find it.

After searching for a long time, there is still no trace of Lu Jiayue.

Qu Yi and Ding Yu were in a hurry, and wanted to ask Queen Ding to come forward and send more people out to look for them, but Lu Jiayue came back.

It's another rhetoric that has been prepared for a long time.

"I just wanted to look around, but I didn't expect to get lost, I don't know where I went, I can't find it... Fortunately, I met a little inner prisoner, and he brought me back. ”

It's good that people come back safe and sound, how can Qu Yi and Ding Yu still bother to ask questions?

Entering the main hall, the officials and their relatives still came and went, flattering Queen Ding.

But I didn't see Ding Can and the eldest princess of Danyang.

Lu Jiayue drank all the tea in one go, and her mind really calmed down.

Being in the main hall of this noisy Chonghua Palace, recalling the scene in the attic, it seems that I just had a frightening dream.

The decision has become a real action, and the road ahead will be smooth or bumpy?

Lu Jiayue was at a loss.

After sitting for a long time, I didn't see King Jin come again.

But it was Ding Can who came back alone.

He stood outside the gate of the palace, with a long jade body, wearing a royal blue satin silk flat gold embroidered python robe, shining with gold under the sunshine.

He stopped, as if hesitating.

Separated by the figures in the hall, Lu Jiayue couldn't really see what the expression on Ding Can's face was, but instinctively felt that his gaze was falling on her face.

The gaze was deep and cold, without any warmth.

She couldn't help but be afraid.

She suddenly realized.

A prince with the name of a virtuous gentleman still has the ambition to become the lord of the country, and a powerful envoy of Jin Yuwei, who can control the life and death of courtiers, even if he looks gentle and amiable on the surface, his heart must have a ruthless side.

The hand holding the goose wing knife was originally used to take people's lives.

But why did he suddenly look at her like that...?

*

The fear in Lu Jiayue's eyes made Ding Can stop his hesitation and stand firmly outside the palace gate.

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

At last, she looked at him with a dodgy and frightened look, as everyone else had done.

This little girl, when she first saw him, had a cold attitude, but a pair of clear and smart eyes stared at him for a long time, not only was she not as scared as others, but her eyes also revealed doubts and surprises, with a little bit of disbelief.

It looked like a fawn, with innocent but somewhat defensive eyes, carefully looking at things that made her curious.

He knew that in her opinion, a person like him should have a fierce and vicious face.

So he became more and more gentle and easy-going, for fear that if he was not careful, he would frighten her.

After a few years of going back and forth, the little girl really got closer to him.

It is defenseless, from the heart of closeness.

She dared to be angry with him, dared to show him a face, dared not listen to his explanation, dared to leave him before he finished speaking, and left on her own...

She wasn't afraid of him at all, she laughed in front of him, she cried in front of him, and when she laughed, her eyes were like shining stars, and people couldn't help but want to laugh with her... When I started crying, I was full of tears, and I was so aggrieved that it was distressing...

He thought she was a different little girl, and he thought that he might be able to take care of her all the time.

Until she chose King Jin.

It turns out that she, like a secular woman, can't escape the temptation of heavenly wealth and honor.

The blood-stained silk handkerchief in his sleeve was like a fire, burning Ding Can's heart with a faint pain. The red blood stains stung his originally warm eyebrows, leaving only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes.

But what is really heartbreaking is the tear stains on the silk handkerchief that have dried.

Presumably, she must have been in a lot of pain at the time...

That's it, that's it, why embarrass her... This silk handkerchief, just throw it for her.

She had already made her choice, and she would not regret it.

I hope she can get what she wants and get what she wants.

When the banquet was held in Chonghua Palace, King Jin, Ding Can, and the eldest princess of Danyang did not appear.

Empress Ding ordered someone to invite, and the palace eunuch who came and went back said that the three were no longer in the palace.

King Jin had already left the palace alone, but the eldest princess of Danyang went out of the palace with Ding Can.

Queen Ding had no choice but to hold a banquet first.

During the banquet, there are delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there are songs and dances in the courtyard.

Lu Jiayue didn't know the taste of food, and she was stunned.

It's as if something precious has been lost.

What the hell is it...

She couldn't think of it, because she didn't think she had anything in the first place.

Ding Yu picked up a glass of rose wine and wanted to have a drink with Lu Jiayue.

Lu Jiayue took a sip.

Ding Yu frowned unconsciously, and asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" If you don't want to give up, didn't something happen outside? ”

"No," Lu Jiayue shook her head with a smile and drank the rest of the wine in her glass.

Ding Yu sighed, and said excitedly: "It's really weird, after you disappeared, the second uncle also disappeared, as soon as you came back, the second uncle also came back, but you are still here, but he left without telling him--- today is really boring." ”

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart.

Could it be that the person who spied on his meeting with King Jin in the attic was Ding Can?

No... No...

He was behind the small inner prison, and along the way, he kept looking back behind him, but he didn't find Ding Can's figure, and no one followed him.

Maybe it's just a coincidence?

Maybe after he left Chonghua Palace, Ding Can also went out to walk around?

Yes, it must be...

It was a very secret thing for him to meet King Jin, and it was impossible for him to find out the clues... If you don't find clues, you can't snoop around.

But who is the person who spied on his meeting with King Jin?

Lu Jiayue held the wine glass and pondered to herself.

A crisp laugh rang in my ears.

"Sister Yu, it turns out that you are here too--- I came late, and I was sitting in that side hall, and I just saw you."

It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, born with a pink face, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, red lips and white teeth, holding a wine glass in her hand, looking at that posture, she was about to toast Ding Yu.

She looked at Ding Yu with a smile, but Ding Yu only glanced at her, and her tone was quite cold.

"Oh... What's the matter with you? ”

The girl raised the wine glass in her hand and said with a smile: "It's easy to meet, I'll give you a glass." ”

She was so polite, Ding Yu had to deal with it perfunctorily, raised her wine glass, and took a sip, which was a response.

The girl didn't seem to mind Ding Yu's cold attitude at all, and smiled at Ding Yu again before going back to the East Side Palace.

Ding Yu looked at her, and smiled at Lu Jiayue: "Who do you guess she is?" ”

Lu Jiayue only felt that the girl's voice sounded vaguely familiar, but she had never met before.

So he shook his head.

Ding Yu smiled again: "She is the daughter of Sun Bingyuan, the second assistant of the cabinet, Sun Moru." ”
