When I returned to Yangcheng quickly, night had fallen, and when I arrived at the city gate, I saw the king of Beihai riding on horseback, watching me come back with calm eyes on the official road outside the city gate.

When I got to him, I grabbed the reins and looked at him blankly.

He seems to be here waiting for me to come back.

It depends on the situation, he learned that I was out of the city, so will the emperor also know?

"Brother Huang still doesn't know that Niangniang is out of the city." He said lightly, he was solving my doubts.

I pulled out an embarrassed smile, "How did the King of Beihai know that the palace was out of the city?" ”

He stared at me calmly and said softly, "Niangniang hasn't come back yet, your maid Yinglin is in a hurry, and she secretly told this king in private, so that this king can come to find Niangniang." ”

I looked up at the dark sky, yes, I was too late.

"Niangniang, where have you been? Aren't you afraid that the royal brother will be worried? ”

His eyes looked at me deeply, making me a little uncomfortable.

I moved my lips, but didn't answer him.

I didn't talk to him any more, but I threw up my rope and rode toward the city gate.

The King of the North Sea rode his horse close to me. When I got to Yangcheng Palace, I didn't want to go back through the front door, so that everyone would know that I was out, and I still went to the back door.

As if he knew to avoid suspicion, the King of the North Sea entered through the front door by himself.

At this time, people will see it, and they will think that I and the North Sea King have secretly gone out.

Now that I'm alone with him, I'm no longer the heart I was three years ago, and I can't make a ripple of him anymore.

When Yinglin saw that I was back, her restless heart relaxed.

She hurriedly explained to me, "The emperor has already come to ask the master twice, and the slave stopped the emperor outside the door, but the master can go to the emperor to say goodbye now?" ”

"Hmm." I responded lightly to Yinglin and asked her to wait for me to change into palace clothes.

When he came to Tuoba Hong's dormitory, he was discussing state affairs with Gongyi, and when he saw me walk in, he waved his hand to let Gongyi retreat.

After I greeted him with a blessing, he smiled faintly, "Rong'er is out?" ”

He actually knew.

I smiled and said softly, "I really can't hide anything from the emperor, the concubine is out, and she is bored in this palace, so the concubine goes out for a walk." ”

He chuckled, took my hand, sat me down, and called out, "Someone." ”

Father-in-law Zhou hurriedly walked in.

"Serve." He said.

"The emperor hasn't had dinner yet?" I asked softly.

He looked at me, "I have to wait for Rong'er to use it together, Rong'er hasn't returned yet, how can I eat first." ”

I smiled stunned, I really didn't know how to express my heart for Tuoba Hong at this time.

The sacrifice has been completed, Tuoba Hong did not stay in Yangcheng for too long, and the next day he returned to Pingcheng in a large car.

During the whole journey back to Beijing, I was very calm and emotionally flat.

Xiao Jingqi and You Ran's intentions have been going back and forth in my mind.

I just wanted to be my concubine in peace, but they tried to make me her.

I don't know where Xiao Jingqi is at this time, whether he is still in the secluded forest valley or whether he is also returning to Beijing with him, I don't want to find out too much about his whereabouts.

I hung the white jade necklace around my neck, the jade was transparent, it was very exquisite, and I liked it very much.

～～～～～～～

After returning to the palace, Tuoba Hong sorted out the government affairs, and then the harem was transmitted.

The inner prison outside the door came to report, saying that Luo Liangren's skin was red and swollen all over his body, and for some reason, he asked His Majesty to visit. After Tuoba Hong heard this, he didn't want to go, but Luo Liangren's maid Qi Lan had been waiting outside the hall, kneeling down and pleading, Tuoba Hong softened his heart and had to go and see.

only then walked into Luo Liangren's bedroom, and after Luo Liangren knelt down to greet him, his face under the veil was already crying. Crying and crying, she kept saying that someone must have drugged her, otherwise why would her whole body be covered with red rashes.

She crawled to Tuobahong's feet crying and begged the emperor to investigate thoroughly.

Tuoba Hong snorted, "Who will poison you?" But after saying that, a touch of anger flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to think of someone.

In his harem, Feng Zhaoyi and Cao Meiren have a relatively harmonious relationship, while Luo Liangren is close to Concubine Rong.

If anyone wants to harm Luo Liangren, how can it be Concubine Rong, besides those two, who else will there be.

Tuoba Hong had already understood that his kindness to Rong Guifei made those two resentful in their hearts, and they didn't dare to do anything to Rong Guifei, so they had to deal with those who were close to Rong Guifei.

Luo Liangren is suffering for Rong'er.

Understanding, Tuoba Hong looked at Luo Liangren softly.

Seeing the tearful man under his feet, Tuoba Hong softened and helped Luo Liangren up, his tone soft, "Has the imperial doctor seen it?" ”

Qi Lan, the slave who was waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has come to see the master, and the imperial doctor Jia said that the lover has eaten goat milk tea, and there is a white juice in the poinsettia stems and leaves in the tea, and this juice will have a red rash and redness and swelling all over the body after eating it by mistake." ”

Luo Liangren hurriedly cried and said, "Your Majesty, look, who poisoned the concubine, Your Majesty, you must be the master of the concubine!" ”

Luo Liangren also understands in his heart that the person who can poison the harem is other than Cao Meiren, who has recently regarded her as a thorn in her side. But she didn't dare to question, so she had to move to the emperor and let the emperor administer justice for her.

Tuoba Hong's mellow voice whispered, "I understand, I will investigate." As he spoke, he looked at Qi Lan, "Let the Imperial Doctor treat his beloved well." ”

Qi Lan was happy to be busy.

"Someone," Tuoba Hong shouted.

After the inner supervisor outside the door responded, he came in with a tray with a jade pendant on the tray. Tuoba Hong smiled slightly, "This jade pendant is given to a beloved." ”

Luo Liangren hurriedly went to pick it up and take a look, he was very happy, and his face that was bitter just now immediately smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Tuoba Hong came out of Luo Liangren's dormitory, his face was stiff and expressionless, he had to comfort Luo Liangren who was suffering in this way.

It's a trivial matter in the harem, and he doesn't want to bother to do it.

Tuoba Hong walked in a hurry, and Zhou Gonggong followed closely. At this time, Tuoba Hong only went to the east study of Wanshou Palace, and the King of Beihai was playing chess with the King of Guangling, and the two saw Tuoba Hong hurriedly get up and salute, "Brother Huang." ”

Tuoba Hong just waved his hand lightly and said, "You go on." Then he sat on the side, and the palace maid served tea.

The King of the North Sea glanced at Tuoba Hong, "Is the imperial brother's harem okay?" ”

"Chickens and dogs are restless." There was a hint of sleepiness in Tuoba Hong's clear voice. In front of his brothers, he was not afraid of their jokes.

Maybe everyone knows it, and the King of Beihai and the King of Guangling are no longer silent.

Before returning to the palace, the harem started fighting again, which made it clear that Feng Zhaoyi and Cao Meiren looked at the emperor and let me be by his side from time to time, feeling uncomfortable, and taking Luo Liangren out of anger.

Don't dare to show what to do to me, find someone who is discouraged, will they feel comfortable?

Luo Liangren suffered, I went to look at it, she gave me a gift under a veil, looking at her appearance, I wanted to laugh but how could I laugh.

She had a red rash, even on her face. It's normal to not be afraid to meet people face to face.

I had to comfort her a few words and let her recuperate.

On the way back to Zhaoyang Palace from Luo Liangren's dormitory, when I passed the bluestone long road, I saw the King of Beihai standing in the corner of the wall from a distance, looking at me.

He stood dumbfounded, as if immersed in the beautiful scenery. And I, I don't know what he's thinking.

He was in the palace......

He didn't come to say hello to me, I didn't say hello to him, I just walked over peacefully.

Ying Lin behind him said softly, "Doesn't the master say hello to His Royal Highness the King of Beihai?" ”

I said indifferently, "No need. ”

Ying Lin didn't say anything more, and followed closely behind me.

After walking a long way, I suddenly realized that Yinglin seemed to be very interested in the King of the North Sea, and every time she met the King of the North Sea, she would care very much.

When I reached the door of Zhaoyang Palace, I stopped and stared back at her.

I noticed that when she saw my eyes, she was unnaturally stunned.

I asked suspiciously, "Are you familiar with the King of the North Sea?" ”

I mean, is her relationship with the King of the North Sea too much like that between a slave and a master.

From my feelings, her relationship with the King of the North Sea is not ordinary.

Ying Lin's expression was visibly nervous.

"Slave maid...... The slave and the king of the North Sea have not met a few times, and even if there are a few times, the master knows it. ”

I stared at her for a moment, staring at her in a panic.

A few times, not a few times, it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, I didn't ask any more, and turned around and walked into Zhaoyang Palace.

When Yinglin was removing my makeup, I noticed in the mirror that she had not been in a state all afternoon since I asked her what she said.

While removing my hair bun, I'm still in a wandering spirit.

There must be something wrong with her.

I turned around and looked at her coldly, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Yinglin suddenly knelt down and knelt in front of me.

"Slave maid...... The slave and the maid have some intersections with His Royal Highness the King of the North Sea, and the slave and maid don't want to hide it from the master anymore. She muttered.

If there really is, I'm curious.

"Tell me about it." I said lightly, "Get up and speak." ”

She stood up, her hands hanging in front of her, and looked back at me, "Three years ago, the slave and the master were robbed on the road when they returned to Pingcheng from Longcheng, and the slave and maid were injured and fainted in the woods. When the slave woke up, a few days after the accident, the villager only told the slave and maid that a young man had placed the slave and maid with him, and put the silver in it. The slave was seriously injured at that time, and it had been more than a month since the injury was healed, and the slave and maid thanked the villager and hurried back to Pingcheng. Later, the slave and maid met Xie Rin on the street, and she recognized the slave and the maid, and only then did she know the identity of the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid also knew his identity. ”

The slave maid personally went to the Beihai King's Mansion to thank His Royal Highness the Beihai King, and Xie Rin said that it was His Royal Highness who found the slave fainting in the woods. And the slave and the maid went and thanked him. ”

She glanced at me and continued, "His Royal Highness the King of Beihai is kind to the slave maid, and the slave maid wants to repay His Highness's kindness, so ...... That's why the slave paid too much attention to His Highness. ”

After listening, I smiled, "If you have kindness, you should repay it, it's nothing, but Your Highness saved you, why don't you say it." ”

Ying Lin said in a low voice, "The slave and the maid are subordinates, how can the slave and the maid go to chat with the master." ”

I smiled faintly again, "Okay, Hongu knows." ”

After she stepped back, I chuckled, but it was the Beihai King who saved her and didn't show me anything, so I felt a little uncomfortable.

But when I think about her look, it seems like there's more to it than that.

Maybe I'm thinking too much.
