Lin Jiaojiao took a deep breath, "No, I have to tell Second Brother Huo in person about this matter, Fourth Brother, you just came back, you are tired of traveling, go eat something first, get some sleep, and I'll let Fifth Brother accompany me on a trip."

She said that without waiting for Lin Yankong to answer, she hurriedly ordered Qisan to find Lin Yanping, turned around and ran to the door of the mansion, shouting as she ran, "Qier, quickly, bring Qiqi over, Second Brother Huo must not have gone far!" ”

Lin Yankong watched her slender figure go away quickly, her brows were almost twisted into iron bumps, really, greasy-

Lin Jiaojiao quickly caught up with Huo Ningzhi and briefly repeated Lin Yankong's words, after Huo Ningzhi's surprise, he was silent, Li Cai has been dragging and not getting married, there are reasons for traveling and studying, there are reasons for the Queen Mother of Xiqin, but more because he has a very high vision, and ordinary women can't get into his eyes at all.

Huo Yizhi, not to mention anything else, just saying that Huo Yizhi is not yet fifteen years old, Li Cai will never look down on a yellow-haired girl who has not yet reached the end of her life!

He has never been good at dealing with this kind of thing, and at this time he is completely at a loss.

Lin Jiaojiao frowned, "Second Brother Huo, the little girl's mind is very elusive, even if the master is willing to come to the door to ask for marriage, Sister Huo may be frightened and confused, feeling that she is not worthy of the master, and even feels that she has defiled the master, and is even more self-loathing, this matter has to be considered in the long run, you take care of Sister Huo first, and then you have to find a way to let her eat something."

Huo Ningzhi replied blankly, Dongcheng is mostly rich families, the red lanterns on both sides of the road illuminate the entire street as bright as day, and the dazed fragility on Huo Ningzhi's face is clearly presented in the light.

Lin Jiaojiao's heart was sour and soft, and she spoke with a somewhat nasal voice, "Second Brother Huo, this time I did not handle things properly and took Sister Huo out of the capital without authorization, don't worry, I will try my best to let Sister Huo recover as soon as possible."

Huo Ning subconsciously shook his head, and suddenly woke up, and hurriedly explained, "Seventh sister is serious, this matter has nothing to do with Seventh Sister, Seventh Sister must not blame herself, it's not too early, Seventh Sister go back and rest quickly, I'll think of a way."

This kind of thing can't be rushed for a while, Lin Jiaojiao nodded silently, saluted him, and walked back with Lin Yanping, who was waiting for her from afar.

There is this thing in her heart, she almost didn't sleep all night, she got up early the next morning, and she didn't have the heart to practice calligraphy, she rolled over and over on the bed, thinking about Huo Yizhi for a while, thinking about Mingcheng for a while, and her head hurt and she didn't come up with a reason.

She broke down and held her head and screamed, and Qier heard the movement outside, hurriedly ran in, and asked worriedly, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, you go find Ling Yuheng and ask him if he has time to accompany me to see Mingcheng today."

Qier answered and went out, Lin Jiaojiao sat up with the quilt in her arms, and called Qiyi to come in and serve and freshen up, things are done, not thought out, since you can't figure it out, then do it!

Lin Jiaojiao freshened up and dressed up, and went to the first courtyard to have breakfast with a few brothers.

She didn't sleep all night, but her spirit was not bad, Jinxianghou didn't notice it at all, the brothers and sisters were talking while eating, and after a while, Qier came back, saying that Ling Yuheng was already waiting at the gate of the mansion, saying that Ling Yuheng had temporarily asked for leave with Shangfeng, and when Lin Jiaojiao wanted to go, just leave the house at any time.

Lin Jiaojiao listened and finished eating the porridge in the bowl after a few bites, rinsed her mouth quickly, and then got up and ran out, "Big brother, I'm out!" ”

Lin Yankong said, "Don't worry, I'll finish eating, I'll go with you."

Lin Jiaojiao turned her back and waved at him, "No need, it's inconvenient for you to go, Ling Yuheng is very reliable, don't worry."

Lin Jiaojiao said that she had gone out, she lifted her skirt and ran fast, and disappeared after a while.

Lin Yankong slowly put down the chopsticks he was holding, and the white ivory chopsticks made a crisp sound on the porcelain white bowl.

Lin Yanping glanced at him, as if he had no intention of saying, "Jiaojiao'er's eyes are still very accurate, whether it is Ling Yuheng, Huo Ningzhi, or King Lijun, they are all of good character and outstanding ability, even without us, they can protect Jiaojiao Er in the capital unscrupulous."

Lin Yankong snorted lightly, his fifth brother really had to guard against him all the time!

"What? The fourth brother does not approve? ”

"Yes, why not? The fifth brother is the smartest person in our family, how can what he said be wrong? ”

Jin Xianghou heard the smell of gunpowder between the two conversations, and furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure, "Don't say a word, what is it like!" ”

Lin Yanping got up and saluted, and said yes, Lin Yankong paused, and he also drew a gourd and got up.

……

……

Here Lin Jiaojiao had already left the house and met with Ling Yuheng, she rode Qiqi, and asked Qier to prepare a horse for Ling Yuheng, and the two rode to the palace together.

Ming Cheng didn't know where he got Emperor Yanxi's eyes, and he didn't know how he dealt with his identity as the heir of the 61 layman, and Emperor Yanxi actually directly allocated a side hall in the palace for him to live in.

As soon as the two turned into the iron hat alley, they saw a carriage marked with the sign of Jingguo Mansion coming, the two glanced at each other, and immediately tacitly reined in the horse, one left and one right blocked the middle of the road.

The oncoming carriage quickly stopped, and the people in the car slammed the curtain and shouted viciously, "Lin Jiaojiao, do you want to-"

Lin Ruliu's sharp voice stopped abruptly the moment his gaze swept over Ling Yuheng, as if he was being choked by an invisible hand.

She almost subconsciously turned her head to stare at someone in the car, it was estimated that it was a maid or something, she should be angry with them, she only told her that Lin Jiaojiao was blocking the way, and she didn't mention that Ling Yuheng was also there.

Almost at the same time, she quickly lowered the curtain in her hand, and after a while, her deliberately soothing voice came, "Let's go."

Lin Jiaojiao smiled meaningfully at Ling Yuheng, twisted the horse's reins, and got out of the way.

……

……

With Ling Yuheng leading the way, Lin Jiaojiao easily entered the palace and found Mingcheng.

Under the early morning sun, Ming Cheng sat in the pavilion in the imperial garden in a moon-white robe with black edges, fiddling with the chess pieces in front of him, the dark lines made of silver threads on the robe flowed quietly like life in the sun, and a small and delicate colorful bird rested on his shoulder.

As soon as Lin Jiaojiao's gaze fell on it, it seemed to feel it, and turned its head suddenly, a pair of small black bean-like eyes glared at her fiercely, and quacked.

It's that weird bird!

Lin Jiaojiao subconsciously took half a step back, her heart jumped half a beat uncontrollably, since that night, this strange bird has appeared in her dreams countless times, accompanied by its appearance is always the big snake that almost swallowed Lin Yankong and Lin Yanping, when she thinks of the horror of that night, Lin Jiaojiao always can't help but be frightened, whether it is in a dream or in reality.

Ling Yuheng sensed her fear, took two steps forward, blocked the direction that the bird was glaring at, and smiled slightly at Ming Cheng, who was looking at the voice, "Ming Gongzi is not harmed."
