Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mu Lian is a maid

Early the next morning, Long Yunche listened to Fengyi in the study to tell him about last night. After listening to this, he was silent, just waved his hand to let Feng Yi go down to prepare for the noon trip, and then fell into deep thought.

"Long Yunche, in fact, I can explain this matter!" Long Yunche's mind suddenly sounded Luo Qianqian's voice.

"Oh? Tell me about it! Long Yunche's eyes narrowed slightly.

After thinking about it all night last night, Luo Qianqian knew that Fengyi would definitely report the truth today, so after she came to her senses, she took the initiative to explain.

"Actually, last night was my first time going out!" Luo said shallowly.

Long Yunche frowned and said, "What is the explanation for the wooden planks of the people in the house?" Why did you leave the wind wings alone in the house early? Why is it that there is always a time when the king has no way to know what you are doing? ”

"This plank is what I've been bored with these days, and you didn't let Fengyi check the information of that strange thief Jide these days, I'm also very curious, so I flipped through it at night. It just so happened that I was bored today, so I thought about going out for a walk. You also know that Feng Yi is a dead brain, and he won't let me go out without your permission, so I have no choice but to think of such an idea temporarily, just to go out and breathe. ”

Do you think that makes sense? Breathable need to wear a nightdress? ”

Luo Qianqian sighed and said, "I'm also thinking about you." If anyone recognizes you, the prince, wandering around without sleeping in the middle of the night, it will definitely not be good for you. That's why I wore it. ”

Long Yunche snorted coldly: "Doesn't that king want to thank you for being thoughtful!" ”

"You're welcome!" Luo Qian's connection was very smooth.

"......" Long Yunche was speechless for a while. After thinking about it, he skipped the topic and said, "Why does the king of Ben not know your whereabouts sometimes these days and nights?" ”

"I'm weird too! I've also noticed that you're taking longer and longer to take over this body, can you explain what's going on? Luo Qianqian had long thought that this problem would occur, and after thinking about it all night, he finally decided to turn the defense into an offensive and stir up nonsense to the end! Anyway, at present, Long Yunche still has nothing to do with her. She is still very sure of this.

Sure enough, hearing Luo Qian's question, Long Yunche was silent. Yes, he is now awake and taking over his body for a longer time, maybe that's a good thing, but why does he always have a feeling of unsteadyness.

"Then tell me what you meant by what you said last night, that you are leaving the body of this king? When? Long Yunche asked again. In fact, during this time, Long Yunche has been speculating about the meaning of Luo Qianqian's words. He felt that Luo Qianqian's intention to go out could be related to leaving his body, and he felt that Luo Qianqian was looking for a way.

Luo sighed lightly, and said with a full sourness in his tone: "Although I am from the future, what you said is not wrong, I am just a lonely ghost." The dove occupies the magpie's nest and occupies your body, and one day it will be left. Maybe when I leave you, it's time for me to be gone. Anyway, in my last life, I was an orphan, and I came and went alone; It's the same in this life, if not more simply. No one but you will know that I came into this world. It's clean when it's gone. ”

Thinking that if he really couldn't find himself, he would be swallowed by Long Yunche's powerful soul power, Luo Qianqian did feel dazed and powerless, and his tone was filled with endless amazement and despair.

Perhaps because the two of them shared the same body, Luo Qian's low mood was quickly transmitted to Long Yunche.

This sense of loneliness made Long Yunche feel depressed, as if he had returned to the time when his mother left him - lonely and helpless.

Long Yunche's breath stagnated, and reason told him that he should distinguish how many truths and how many falsehoods there were in Luo Qianqian's words, but there was an indescribable tingling pain in his heart.

Just as the two fell silent, there was a knock on the door, and Long Yunche frowned and said, "Come in." ”

The door was gently pushed open, and a slender figure slowly walked into the room with the smell of rouge. I saw that the person who came was Mu Lian, who was brought back to the house by Luo Qianqian that night. At this moment, Mu Lian is dressed as a maid, perhaps because she has practiced martial arts, the original ordinary maid costume is less delicate and more heroic on Mu Lian. But with the delicate pink cheeks, delicate skin, and beautiful eyes, it does not conflict at all, and she is a different beauty.

Mu Lian slowly stepped forward and squatted slightly, lowered her head and said softly: "Lord Wang, this is this year's new tea sent to you by the Queen Mother, and Father-in-law He asked the slave maid to bring you a taste." As he spoke, he raised the tray in his palm slightly above his head, and the slightly wide sleeves slipped down, revealing a white wrist.

It's a pity that such a beautiful jade-like appearance can't arouse Long Yunche's interest. His brows furrowed even tighter, and Sen said coldly: "Didn't Gonggong He tell you that the maidservants are not allowed to enter the king's study?" ”

Mu Lian was startled by Long Yunche's cold tone, but she didn't cry like other women, she quickly understood that she was being put on the spot by that yin and yang father-in-law.

A few days ago, she was brought into the palace as she wished, and the captain who brought her handed her over to Father-in-law He and asked him to arrange a place for himself to live first.

On the first night, Father-in-law He was polite and arranged a single room for her. But I didn't expect that after the second day, that father-in-law began to change his face. He directly threw himself a set of palace maid's clothes, threw her package to a four-person room, and then snorted coldly: "Hurry up and pack up and go to learn etiquette with the miscellaneous family." Don't rudely break the rules of the palace. After speaking, he turned around and went out, and said with a strange yin and yang in his mouth: "Hmph! A little pheasant also wants to fly up the branches to be a phoenix? The miscellaneous family has seen you like this too much. ”

Mu Lian knew that she was being admitted to the palace as a maid. She didn't refute, and directly followed Gonggong He to learn various palace etiquette. But this father-in-law He just saw that he was not pleasing to his eyes, and asked her for trouble three or four times, and Mu Lian endured it one by one.

Seeing that Mu Lian was so forbearing, Gonggong He no longer embarrassed her too much, but he didn't expect that this time he ordered her to deliver tea was designed to let the prince drive her away.

Mu Lian gently put down the tray of jasper pots and cups containing tea in her hands, and said with her head touching the ground and a slightly choked voice: "Lord Wang, the slave knows that she is from a humble background, and she has never had unrealistic illusions, she only hopes to help the prince within her own ability, so as to repay the great kindness of the prince for helping my Mu family to sink the snow!" As he spoke, he knocked his head hard, and a trace of blood suddenly appeared on his snow-white forehead.

Long Yunche hadn't spoken yet, and suddenly remembered Luo's shallow voice in his mind: "Well, if you go down like this, you'll die." ”

"That's enough, get back." After Long Yunche heard Luo Qianqian's voice, he didn't bother to pay attention to Mu Lian anymore, and waved her hand to let her retreat.

Mu Lian immediately heard that Long Yunche no longer pursued it, and she didn't dare to stay longer, got up and picked up the tray, and retreated to leave the room.

"Look at the trouble you've caused to this king!" Long Yunche snorted coldly.

"I'm not afraid that she has been kneeling at the door and has an accident that will affect your reputation, besides, this is also why you agreed to let her stay!" Hmph, Luo Qianqian will never admit that letting Mu Lian enter the door that day was because he was angry with Long Yunche's attitude, and he deliberately made some trouble for him.

Due to Mu Lian's appearance, the somewhat dull atmosphere between the two of them just now gradually dissipated. The two also had a tacit understanding and did not mention this topic.

Long Yunche asked, "Did you say last time that you had a way to catch that monster thief?" Say it. ”

"And what about my conditions?" Luo Qianqian asked thoughtfully.

"If the plan is feasible, the king can agree to your terms." Long Yunche said.

Luo Qianqian thought for a while and said, "I actually went out yesterday to see if I could meet this guy, but I didn't expect good luck." If it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of Wind Wing, I might have caught him! ”

The black cauldron that traveled last night was thrown directly to that strange thief Jide to carry it!

Long Yunche didn't puncture the loopholes in her words, but continued to ask, "Did you find out?" Was he from your time? ”

Luo Qianqian gritted his teeth and said, "I think it's very similar, but before he could speak, he ran away." ”

Long Yunche was silent for a moment and said, "If there is a way to catch him, can you ask him to hand over the things stolen from Yu Jue and Concubine Lin Shu?" ”

"I'm not going to judge prisoners!" Luo Qianqian hurriedly said: "And I looked at the information collected by Fengyi before. This strange thief Gide is not a big traitor, he just stole some precious treasures from rich people, and he didn't hurt anyone's life, if he was asked to hand over something, wouldn't it be okay? ”。

Long Yunche nodded and said, "This king only wants his things this time, and he doesn't want to arrest him." ”

Luo Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Although she hadn't spoken to this strange thief, she could be sure that this person was also a cross-legged, and this person's unfriendly feelings made Luo Qianqian feel a little unbearable. Long Yunche hesitated for a moment, and then said: "At noon today, this king went to the Phoenix Pavilion to discuss the plan with Mu Yu and them, this king needs your help this time." ”

I haven't been able to catch this strange thief for a long time, because I don't want to send too many people. Because of this operation, he only needs to blame what is in the hands of the thief. Therefore, being able to communicate with Luo Qianqian again is the first step for him to do this, otherwise it will be difficult to carry on the rest of the matter.

Luo Qianqian thought for a while and said: "My method is the simplest, use a treasure in your palace to lure him to steal, but if it is a strange thief, I think this thing should be a little more attractive." ”

Long Yunche nodded, this method was also what he thought of. He hadn't figured out what to use as bait yet, though. It seems that this matter needs to be pondered at noon today.

To the south of the capital of the Proud Dynasty is a very prosperous urban area. There, there are all kinds of restaurants famous for their food, many high-end and expensive jewelry and clothing shops, and several high-grade comprehensive inns. And the reason why this place is so prosperous is also thanks to the fact that there is an ancient building here - Phoenix Pavilion.

According to legend, it has been nearly 300 years since the completion of this Phoenix Pavilion, which was established at the beginning of a generation of dynasties. Legend has it that the queen of this dynasty fell into a dream and came to the fairyland, where a white-bearded fairy told her that building a high pavilion facing the water in the south of Kyoto would attract a hundred birds and phoenixes.

After the queen woke up from the dream, she said this dream, and when the Chaoqin Heavenly Eunuch calculated in the dream that this was the auspiciousness of heaven's blessing. The emperor put up an imperial list, gathered skilled craftsmen from all over the city, and built a splendid platform building with three stories high on a small island in the south of the capital facing the center of the crescent lake, and built a beautiful pavilion at the top.

It is also miraculous that on the day this building was completed, the flowers in the city vied to open and attracted countless butterflies, birds and birds, large and small. In the end, all the birds flew up and down the completed building, and immediately attracted the whole city to come and see. News was received in the palace that the emperor and empress came hand in hand. At noon, when the emperor and queen came to the pavilion at the top of the platform, an unknown bird cry came from the sky, and two big birds flew from nowhere. The two big birds were bigger than the peacocks, with fiery red bodies, slender necks, and bright wings, and they flew very beautifully.

The two big birds flew around the high platform and the emperor and queen for a while, and the birds also followed and danced slowly, and the scene stunned all the people in the audience. Everyone knelt down on the mountain and shouted long live, the emperor and the queen were very happy, and the emperor gave this pavilion the name - Phoenix Pavilion.

With the passage of time, this imperial capital has also gone through several dynasties, but the emperor of each dynasty will regularly arrange for people to repair and protect this phoenix pavilion.

Therefore, although this building looks very solid after nearly 300 years of wind and rain, it has been closed to ordinary people since the previous dynasty.

People had no way to enter, so they tried to build various restaurants and shops around it, and over time, one of the must-see places in Kyoto was this Phoenix Pavilion. And the best place to see the Phoenix Pavilion is the Phoenix Pavilion.

This Phoenix Pavilion is the closest to the Phoenix Pavilion in the center of the lake, built on the shore of the Crescent Lake. At this time, it is the beginning of summer, and the smoke and willows by the lake are still there, and the warm breeze is slow. Walking along the main street, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the scenery.

It was approaching noon, and two tall horses slowly approached the entrance of the street. In front of his head, a tall horse with a dark body sat upright, dressed in ice white, embroidered with a python robe of the same color to make the cold breath emanating from his body up and down, a black hair neatly tied on the top of his head, wrapped by a sheep fat white jade hair crown, and inserted into a dragon hairpin of the same color, Long Yunche's demonic but cold face made the summer sun seem to be a little cool.

Behind him was the wind wing, and the master and servant could not let the horses gallop after entering this main street, because today this street was bustling, and the crowd of carriages could be said to be shoulder to shoulder, very crowded.

But no matter how crowded it was, everyone unconsciously got out of the way when they saw Long Yunche. On the one hand, it was because Long Yunche was the youngest general of their proud dynasty, and on the other hand, because of his cold face. When he looked at it in the summer, he felt a cool breath on his back. It's just that after he walked by, almost all the women stared at his back, their faces crimson, and occasionally whispered.

"Long Yunche, what kind of place is this?" Luo Qianqian couldn't help but ask curiously. After asking, she said helplessly: "Alas, it's in vain to ask you, you definitely won't tell me what kind of place this is." ”

Long Yunche sat on the horse, the corners of his lips moved slightly, a light flashed in his eyes, but he said in his mind: "This is a famous bustling street in Kyoto - Phoenix Street"

Luo Qianqian didn't expect Long Yunche to be able to answer her question today, so he hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Is there any special meaning?" ”

Long Yunche didn't ignore it as before, but slowly told Luo Qianqian the allusion to the Phoenix Pavilion, and Luo Qianqian was surprised again and again when he heard it.
