Sima Chen smiled and asked Qin Changning to sit, Qin Changning looked at the cigarette-filled hall and the delicate lily of the valley, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "The eldest emperor's Donggong Ning'er has never seriously appreciated the scenery inside, why don't the eldest emperor take Ning'er to go shopping?" ”

Sima Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and led Qin Changning out, "This is naturally the honor of the eldest brother, speaking of which, this is the first time that the eldest brother I have taken Ning'er to visit the East Palace, right?" ”

Qin Changning walked beside Sima Chen, looking at the scenery of the East Palace without a trace, and did not let go of any place, Sima Chen's mood seemed to be very good, and he smiled and introduced Qin Changning to all kinds of flowers in the garden.

Qin Changning has been listening with a smile on his face, Qin Changning suddenly saw a flower in the corner of the wall, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Sima Chen, "I didn't expect the eldest brother to be so good at studying these flowers and plants now, he is really an elegant person, Changning thinks that he is a girl who knows a lot of flowers and plants, but he is still ashamed in front of the eldest brother." ”

Sima Chen laughed and said, "Ning'er, you really like to joke, do you drink some tea?" ”

Qin Changning shook his head and smiled, and walked towards the flower in the corner, if she guessed correctly, this flower was what she had seen in a book called Ten Thousand Poisonous Plants in the Library Pavilion, this flower was called the Black Mandala, which represented endless darkness and death, and it contained highly poisonous, and the fragrance of the flower would make people hallucinate.

But this kind of flower is rare nowadays, and there is hardly even a mention of this flower in the books, and if she hadn't seen this flower in the collection of books left by her master in the library pavilion, she probably wouldn't have recognized this bright black flower as a black mandala.

Qin Changning stood on the brick road and looked at the black mandala in the flower bed in the corner, and asked Sima Chen sideways, "Brother Emperor, what are these words, it's really special, it's the first time Ning'er has seen this kind of flower." ”

Sima Chen raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, when a delicate and beautiful woman walked over to this side accompanied by the palace maid, approached the two and bowed slightly, "Concubine, I've seen Your Highness, I've seen..."

Qin Changning looked at the girl in front of him, he didn't need to think that she knew what the identity of the person in front of him was, Sima Chen saw that the expression on her face had changed, he gently helped the woman up, and said, "You came just in time, this is the county lord of Changning, you tell her what this flower in you is called, she likes it very much." ”

It didn't seem to be the first time that she had heard Qin Changning's name, she looked at Qin Changning in surprise, bent her knees and blessed her body, and smiled softly, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the County Lord, Luo Luo has seen His Royal Highness the County Lord, and Luo often hears His Royal Highness mention His Royal Highness the County Lord, saying that you were the great benefactor who saved His Highness's life." ”

Qin Changning smiled and looked at Luo Luo without a trace, "The eldest brother is exaggerating, it is the great emperor's brother who has boundless blessings, so he will turn the danger into a disaster, Changning is just a help." ”

After speaking, he looked at Luo Luo and smiled lightly, "I have long heard of the name of Miss Luo, saying that the girl is like a fairy, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation, Miss Luo is indeed beautiful, no wonder it can make the emperor's brother Jinwu Zangjiao." ”

Sima Chen smiled, Luo Luo covered her face shyly, and said softly, "County Lord, don't make fun of Luo Luo, Luo is a country girl, thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness and willingness to keep Luo by his side, so that Luo has a place to live, and will not fall to the point of drifting around." ”

Qin Changning smiled slightly, "This shows that Miss Luo, you have a fate with the eldest emperor, otherwise why did the eldest emperor's horse go crazy at that time, and you happened to be under the horse's hooves again?" ”

Luo Luo's expression stiffened obviously, the corners of Qin Changning's mouth hooked slightly, and he didn't look at Luo Luo, but raised his eyes to look at Sima Chen, and asked with a smile, "Brother Emperor, you said yes, right?" ”

Sima Chen laughed loudly and said, "Yes, this is my fate with Luo Luo, I didn't expect to meet Luo there, that glance is ten thousand years, as if it was fate." ”

The corners of Qin Changning's mouth hooked, and his gaze fell on Luo Luo's face, "Yes, it's fate, you can't avoid it, even if you want to avoid it." ”

Luo's eyes narrowed, Qin Changning turned his gaze away, looked at the black mandala in the corner, and said with a smile, "By the way, what kind of flower are you?" Why is this flower so beautiful? It's still black, and it's the first time I've seen this kind of tweed. ”

Luo Luo smiled slightly, looked at the bright black mandala that bloomed, and said softly, "This is the flower I accidentally found when I was collecting medicine in the mountains last time, and I also thought it was very beautiful, so I dug it back, and now I bring it back to the palace to raise." Originally, she thought that this flower might not be able to survive in the palace, but she didn't expect it to survive tenaciously. ”

Qin Changning smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Luo, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "Really?" But just now the eldest brother said that you know. ”

The corners of Luo Luo's mouth stiffened, she raised her eyes to look at Sima Chen, and lowered her voice in her voice, "Your Highness, did you say this to the county lord?" ”

Qin Changning's hand suddenly sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder and landed on the black mandala flowers, raised his eyes to look at Sima Chen's Luo didn't notice it at all, Sima Chen was slightly stunned, his expression began to become a little unnatural, he looked sideways at Qin Changning, his brows were tightly wrinkled together, and he said in a deep voice, "Sister Changning, what are these words, when did I say that Luo Luo knows what the name of this flower is, Luo just accidentally found this flower, thought it looked good, transplanted it back and cultivated, if it's okay, Sister Changning should go back, It's not getting early. ”

Qin Changning glanced at Sima Chen, his gaze fell on Luo Luo's face again, and his eyes turned slightly, "I tried my best to lure me over, and now I let me go so easily, there is only one opportunity, are you sure you want to miss it?" ”

Luo Luo looked at Qin Changning suddenly, Sima Chen seemed to feel Luo Luo's emotions, stepped forward and reached out to hold Qin Changning's hand, and said coldly, "Sister Changning, I'll send you out of the palace." ”

Qin Changning withdrew his hand lightly, and looked at Luo Luo with a touch of indifference at the corners of his mouth, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "Miss Luo, you don't know the name of this flower, I know, this flower is called Black Mandala, which always blooms near the execution ground, and they are like calm bystanders, recording every moment when life gradually disappears." Legend has it that the mandala likes to grow in places where there are no human beings, it is a cursed flower, and no one who finds the mandala flower can leave safely. As he spoke, he looked at Luo Luo, whose face was already gloomy, and said, "I don't know what kind of fate Miss Luo will have in the end when she encounters this black mandala?" ”
