Ligu stepped forward and saluted weakly, "Slave and maid to meet Your Highness!" ”

Zhao Ting hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Ligu, you are the benefactor of this king, you don't need to be polite!" ”

"Your Highness!" Aunt Li was not in the mood to socialize, but in front of Yun Xingqi, she didn't dare to be too snub to Zhao Ting.

"This king came today to thank Miss Yun for saving her that day, but unfortunately she was not in the mansion. That day, Aunt Meng Ligu took care of her and was grateful. I brought a thank you gift, and I hope you don't want to excuse yourself! ”

As he spoke, he rushed forward and handed over a box.

Ligu hesitated to take it and opened it to take a look.

I saw that it was full of boxes of gold leaves.

"The slave and maid just follow the master's instructions and do things, and they don't deserve the thank you of His Highness. The gifts are too valuable, and they are tormented by slaves and maids, and they must not be accepted. Ligu said as she closed the box and handed it back.

He Chong didn't reach out to pick it up.

Zhao Ting smiled: "I can't think of what to use to express my gratitude for a while, and I hope that Aunt Li will not refuse." ”

"This ...... The slave maid can't accept ......" Ligu didn't know how to refuse.

Yun Xingqi on the side said: "Since it is a reward from His Royal Highness, you can thank you!" ”

What Ligu was most afraid of was him, and when she heard this, she had to salute Zhao Ting, "Slave and maid, thank you!" Thank you, Your Highness! ”

Zhao Ting took out a small box from his arms, stared at it for a while, and said abruptly: "I just don't know when I will be able to thank Miss Yun in person!" ”

Ligu's eyes were red, she glanced at Yun Xingqi and lowered her head.

Yun Xingqi on the side bowed down and said, "When the eldest lady returns to the house, the grass people will immediately send someone to inform His Highness." ”

Zhao Ting looked at them with strange expressions, and faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, presumably as the third brother said, he was also closed.

couldn't help but smile bitterly, and handed the small box to Ligu, "This is a thank you gift for Miss, Ligu will hand it over on your behalf!" ”

Ligu took the box and opened it gently, only to see that there was a red hosta inside, exquisitely clear, delicate, carved with a small lotus flower. It turned out to be carved from blood jade.

Blood jade is a rare jade species in the legend, and Ligu has only heard of it, so it is difficult to determine for a while.

Yun Xingqi looked at her differently, so he walked over to take a look.

I was immediately surprised.

The value of this small blood hosta is comparable to a box of gold leaves, and I don't know how much more valuable.

The most important thing is that it is extremely rare, and even in the imperial palaces of various countries, there are very few collections.

His Royal Highness the King of Wei actually gave such a valuable and rare thank you gift.

Even Yun Xingqi didn't know what he meant, thinking that if the master was in the house, he would definitely not accept such a heavy gift, and if he was the master first, he was afraid that the master would be punished when he came back.

"Such a valuable gift, Your Highness will personally hand it over to the master in the future!" Yun Xingqi said.

"This king can't stay in Yangzhou for too long, and I don't know the return date of Miss Yun, so I have to ask you to hand it over."

"But this gift is too precious. If the master is there, he will never accept it, and the grass people really don't dare to accept it, so please take it back for the time being, and give it in person in the next day! ”

Zhao Ting thought about it, after all, he was too inconsiderate.

In the past few days, I have been thinking about what Yun Moxi should give her to express her gratitude.

But the Yun family is rich and rivals, and the country lacks nothing.

After thinking about it, I finally decided to send this blood hosta.

This is the Empress Dowager Du sorted out the treasury of the former Zhou State some time ago, and found a few rare treasures among the many treasures, and specially selected two to reward Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Ting.

What was awarded to Zhao Guangyi was a string of blood jade bracelets, named Red Jade Lotus Beads.

What was given to Zhao Ting was this hairpin, named Red Jade Lotus

Empress Dowager Du said at the time that she hoped that the two brothers would give these two treasures to the most favored person in this life in the future.

Zhao Ting didn't think so at the time, no matter how valuable an object was, it was not as rare as a sword in his eyes.

In order to choose a gift for Yun Moxi, after thinking about it, I just felt that this hairpin was suitable, and only her appearance could be worn.

He didn't think much of it, he just instinctively wanted to give her the best things, as long as he could see her smile.

But at this moment, hearing Yun Xingqi say this, he also realized that since it was his sincerity, it was not good to ask someone to hand it over after all, and he always had to find a chance to see her again, so he would send it away in person in the future!

So nodding his head, He Chong stepped forward and took back the box.

"The king will return to Beijing in a few days. No matter when, as long as Master Yun and the eldest lady come back, please be sure to let me know. Just send a letter to Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion, and someone will send a letter to the capital to report to the king. ”

"Yes!" Yun Xingqi and Ligu both bowed.

After explaining, Zhao Ting had no reason to continue to stay, so he had to say goodbye and leave.

Out of the cloud mansion, he walked slowly on a horse, a little stupid.

I don't know if she deliberately avoided it or if something happened to Yunfu?

At the beginning, a glimpse of the bamboo forest was deeply imprinted in his heart, and he didn't understand why he was so stunned, why he always thought of her.

It's ridiculous to think about it, a person who hasn't seen it in person, but he makes himself uneasy.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, picked himself up and rode away.

And at the gate of the house, I watched Zhao Ting walk away.

Li Gu asked, "Chief Administrator, why don't you tell His Royal Highness King Wei the truth?" In this way, it is better to ask His Highness to send someone to search for it. ”

"Confused! We don't know anything about that ghost devouring son, and if we venture to involve someone from the government, if we annoy that person, it will be detrimental to the master. ”

"It's a slave who has a lot of mouth!" Ligu shuddered with fright.

Yun Xingqi frowned deeply, and reprimanded: "The master has arranged this matter in advance. It's not your business. Step aside! ”

"Yes!" Ligu could only be anxious and worried in her heart, and didn't dare to say more.

The Song army withdrew, Zhao Ting temporarily lived in Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion, and when he returned to the mansion, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, and Yun Moxi had no reason to avoid it.

And Yun Xingqi and Ligu flickered, and the look between their eyebrows was worried, it must be that something happened in Yunfu.

"He Chong!" He shouted.

He rushed in, "What does Your Highness command?" ”

"All the movements of Yunfu during these days, big and small, the king must know."

"Yes!" He Chong retreated.

I didn't see Yun Moxi, I should have rushed back to the capital.

But Zhao Ting was inexplicably uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that he couldn't rest assured if he didn't see her.

He didn't understand why this was the case, but he just hoped that he was too worried and still stayed.

Two days later, he was reviewing official documents in the study of the Assassin's Mansion.

He Chong walked in.

"Any news?" He asked with some urgency.

"Your Highness, this Cloud Mansion is really not simple. The business is very large, not only our Great Song Dynasty, but also all over the country There are businesses of the Yun family, some of which are on the surface, and many of which are secret. ”

"Well, this king already knows."

"In addition to buying and selling, there is also an armory shop, presumably His Highness also knows about it. Therefore, this Yun family is a piece of fat in the eyes of all forces. Whoever gets the Yun family will have a great increase in power, and it will be easy to claim the king and hegemony. ”

Zhao Ting nodded, "The world is in chaos, since this Yun family is a piece of fat, it has not been eaten for so many years - it is also a strange thing." ”
