The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified,

Ikegami Hibiscus is net and less affectionate.

Only the peony is true to the country,

When the flowers bloom, the capital is moved.

……

The next day, Lu Yiyao and the others entered the city very early.

Because it is not the flowering season, the city is a little deserted, pedestrians are in a hurry, and walking on the wide streets looks very bleak.

Lu Yiyao and the others voted for an inn, and there were very few in the inn, this time was not a flowering period, nor was it a day for businessmen to travel, and it was a border, so there were really fewer people.

However, this kind of quietness is what Lu Yiyao likes.

Ming Shi was a lonely person, so he finally returned to the land, and before he had time to play, he followed Lu Yiyao and them all the way.

This city looks a little bleak, but this is a city anyway, so it still has what it should have.

It's almost winter!

Lu Yiyao tied his cloak and Ming Shi went out, winter was coming soon, and the way home was getting closer and closer.

Maybe it's time to get back in time for the new year.

The streets are sparsely populated, there is no lively atmosphere, and Ming Shi's interest is also less than half.

Lu Yiyao rubbed Ming Shi's hair, paused where the hairpin was inserted, and smiled slightly, "Let's go back!" ”

Ming Shi thought that he would go back after just coming out for a while, a little unwilling, but it was really nothing fun.

Pi Phi Shrimp followed behind the two in ignorance, his eyes touched the distance, and he was puzzled.

"Pippi, hurry up! What are you doing stunned? Ming Shi noticed that the Pipi Shrimp who was following behind was already some distance from her, and beckoned.

"Oh, I'm coming!" Hearing Ming Shi calling himself, Pippi Shrimp ran over.

Ming Shi grabbed Pipi Shrimp's hand, and Pi Pi Shrimp's face suddenly turned red, cute and tight, "I'll hold you, lest you get lost and don't know!" ”

Then Pi Phi Shrimp kept looking at Ming Shi holding his hands, and what he kept thinking about in his mind was, His Highness was holding me!

Your Highness is holding me!

What a great honor!

There is a little man in Pipi Shrimp's heart who clenches his handkerchief, and he decides that he will not wash this hand for a month!

If Ming Shi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely hold him and wash his hands.

When I returned to the inn, I unexpectedly found a few strange guests.

However, it seemed that he was looking for Xiao Ningqi, and Lu Yiyao only heard intermittent conversations outside the door.

"Lord, please ......"

“……”

"My daughter ......"

After Ming Shi listened, he turned his head to look at Lu Yiyao, "Who is the prince?" ”

"That Xiao Gongzi!"

"Him!" Ming Shi frowned, "I really can't see it, it's quite easygoing!" I thought those princes and nobles were looking at people with their nostrils! ”

"You've seen it?" Lu Yiyao laughed.

"I've seen it once!" Ming Shi frowned and pouted, "When I was still wandering outside, it seemed to be some kind of princess parade, looking like her nostrils were facing the sky, and she was ugly!" ”

"You're the best-looking!" Lu Yiyao smiled and poured tea for Ming Shi.

"It's true!" Ming Shi pursed his lips, "But is it really okay for him to be a prince walking with us?" ”

"No problem!" Lu Yiyao flicked her forehead, "What are you doing with so many things, little head?" ”

"If I don't want to have more, find something interesting for myself, I can be bored to death." Half of his body was lying on the table, and Ming Shi said weakly.

"Entertain yourself!" Lu Yiyao nodded.

"Yes, life is already so boring, how can you live if you don't find a little fun for yourself?"

"And how do other people live?" Regarding Ming Shi's statement, Lu Yiyao was also convinced.

"That's someone else's fun!"

Pipi Shrimp, who was holding the teacup, blinked, what were His Highness and Sister Lu talking about? How could he not understand?

It feels very deep!

But as long as he holds the teacup and listens silently, he will be fine without speaking.

……

After half an hour, Lu Yiyao heard the sound of the door opening, and a middle-aged man walked out with another man who should be the housekeeper.

The middle-aged man's face was melancholy, and his brows were tightly locked.

Don't ask too much about other people's affairs, otherwise it will be easy to get into trouble.

"Yaoyao, I'm hungry!"

"Let's have lunch, then!" Lu Yiyao is now indifferent to eating, eating is like a task, it's really boring.

……

What Lu Yiyao didn't expect was that Xiao Ningqi came over to look for him in the afternoon, to be precise, he was looking for Shang Yang.

But Shang Yang was not there, and he didn't know what to do.

Therefore, Xiao Ningqi came to find Lu Yiyao.

"Miss Lu, there is something that may be going to trouble you." Xiao Ningqi was a little embarrassed, originally they were just on the same road, but now they are coming to trouble others.

"Let's talk about it first!" Those who can help can help, but if they can't, then they can only say sorry to Xiao Ningqi.

"That's right, this morning a messenger came to me with a token left by my father, and I don't know where they got the news." Xiao Ningqi shook his head, he was out on patrol in a micro-service, how could one or two of them know where he was?

In fact, after Emperor Xichang received Xiao Ningqi's letter saying that he was going to Beidi, he sent secret orders to all counties and cities on the way.

"My father had promised to come to him with this token and fulfill a wish." Xiao Ningqi didn't know how many of these tokens his father had sent out, and suddenly felt that there was a huge pit waiting for him.

"Is it okay to have a desire to kill someone and set fire?" Lu Yiyao narrowed her eyes.

"This ......" Xiao Ningqi's expression was a little embarrassed, "No one should make such a request!" Since my father gave these tokens, he trusted those people. ”

"This man found me today for his daughter!"

Lu Yiyao remembered the intermittent conversation she heard at the door this morning, mentioning her daughter or something.

"It seems that it's because his daughter fell into a nightmare for some reason and couldn't wake up, and the doctor also invited her, but it didn't get better with medicine, and then she invited a monk or Taoist priest to do it, so I found me and hoped to be able to help."

Xiao Ningqi looked at Lu Yiyao, "I know that Miss Lu, you and Master Shang are not ordinary people, so I want to ask you to help take a look, just as Xiao owes the two of them a favor." ”

"Xiao Gongzi is polite." Lu Yiyao didn't immediately agree or refuse, "When the senior brother comes back, I will talk to the senior brother, you can go and see this young lady first, but it is not certain if you can help." ”

"That's it, thank you." Xiao Ningqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ningqi sent the shopkeeper to the house to deliver the letter, saying that he would invite someone to come over to see it tomorrow.

Looking at the token in his hand, Xiao Ningqi was helpless, his father was a merry man when he was alive, and he was uninhibited and loved freedom, but he was bitter as a son.

Not only to help my father find an old lover, but also to help my father deal with the aftermath, which is inexplicably sad.
