Cha Jinzhi waited for the following, but Lu Kang suddenly said: "I am tired of Lord Tea bothering to investigate, we must destroy the source of poison as soon as possible, this official has something urgent, so I will retire first!" ”

After that, before Cha Jinzhi came back to his senses, he left in a hurry.

Lu Kang went straight back to Baifu to see Yin Xun, Yin Xun saw him coming, and asked, "Cha Jinzhi has investigated the case clearly?" ”

Lu Kang shook his head, walked to Yin Xun's side, and took out the bamboo pipe: "Master, look at this." ”

Yin Xun glanced down and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"This bamboo is coated with poison, Ma Lianzhou committed suicide with this bamboo in prison, this bamboo pipe material is extremely unique, can the master recognize it?"

When Yin Xun heard him say this, he took a closer look at it, and then said to him: "Tortoiseshell bamboo? ”

Lu Kang nodded and said: "A year ago, Wu Guo paid tribute to ten tortoiseshell bamboos, eight of which were planted in the imperial garden, and the remaining two were left, one was given to the master by His Majesty, and the other was given to the king of Jinnan. Do you remember? ”

Yin Xun thought about it, his face changed slightly, and he nodded.

"As far as my subordinates know, although tortoiseshell bamboo is easy to survive but difficult to reproduce, there should only be these ten plants in the territory of Li so far." Lu Kang said, lowering his voice, "There are not many people who can enter the palace, the Nine Princes' Mansion, or the Jinnan Palace's Mansion to obtain bamboo, and they can still bring it out." ”

Yin Xun nodded, suddenly remembered the letter he saw in the Malian Prefecture Mansion, and held his chin and said, "Could it really be him?" But what is the significance of him selling cold food in Luoyang? ”

Lu Kang hurriedly asked, "The master already knows who it is?" ”

Yin Xun was just about to open his mouth to tell him, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, Mo Ying came in with a letter and said, "Master, Your Majesty sent someone to send an urgent secret letter. ”

I took the secret letter and opened it, and the vigorous and powerful handwriting was indeed His Majesty's, and only two words were written on it: "Quick return".

Yin Xun was slightly surprised, and asked Mo Ying: "You went back to Xuchang to see Your Majesty before, did he ask me to go back after investigating the case of Han Shisan?" ”

Mo Ying nodded and said, "That's what Your Majesty said. ”

"Is he in a hurry?"

Mo Ying shook his head: "The subordinates don't dare to speculate on the holy will. ”

Lu Kang listened to the two of them, thought for a while, and interjected: "Mo Ying, did you hear any rumors when you went back to Xuchang?" ”

Mo Ying shook his head, paused and nodded: "I only had a tea break at the post station in front of Xuchang, where I heard that His Majesty loved the new concubine very much, and she had already been named the imperial concubine in less than half a month." ”

"Anything else?" Lu Kang then asked.

Mo Ying frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Lu Kang sighed in his heart and asked Mo Ying to send a letter, and sure enough, he would only send a letter.

Yin Xun held the secret letter in his hand for a long time, and couldn't figure out why the emperor suddenly changed his mind, what happened?

Lu Kang and Mo Ying didn't speak, staring straight at Yin Xun, waiting for his next instructions.

After a long time, Yin Xun spit out five words in a low voice: "Return to Xuchang immediately." ”

Lu Kang was stunned, and many doubts burst out, but in the end, he didn't ask, but replied: "My subordinates understand, so I'm going to inform Shen Qing, by the way, do you want Young Master Aqing to take it back together?" ”

"No need," Yin Xun shook his head, "Shen Qing stayed to protect them." ”

They? Do you mean Young Master Aqing and Miss Bai?

Hearing Yin Xun say this, Lu Kang's doubts disappeared by half, it turned out that his master did not want to leave, but planned to go back to Xuchang to finish his work and then return to Luoyang.

Lu Kang pursed his lips and smiled: "If the master is reluctant to take the white girl, take her away, and the master of the province will toss back and forth." ”

Yin Xun glanced at him coldly, "It's eventful." ”

Lu Kang smiled very meekly: "Yes, yes, the subordinates have a lot of things, and the subordinates will go and tell Shen Qing to let him protect the white girl well, and never let the master come back to see the white girl hurt in the slightest." ”

After saying that, Lu Kang turned around and left, Mo Ying looked inexplicable, tilted his head to look at Yin Xun, why did his master seem to be suddenly shy? It must be an illusion.

Lu Kang went to Bai Junzhuo's courtyard to inform Shen Qing, and while he was talking, Bai Junzhuo came out with a pot of herbs casually, and asked Lu Kang: "I heard you outside just now that your master wants to go back to Xuchang?" ”

Lu Kang hurriedly replied: "Miss Bai don't worry, my master will come back after finishing things." ”

"Who is worried," Bai Junzhuo mixed the herbs into the leftovers and said to him nonchalantly, "I'll just ask casually." ”

"Is that so?" Lu Kang looked at her with a smile on his face, "My master will leave for four or five days, or two or three years at the longest, Miss Bai has to take good care of herself, if something happens to you during this period, or you are short of money, my master can't save you." ”

Bai Junzhuo rolled his eyes: "Thank you for your trouble, I'm not so useless." ”

"That's good," Lu Kang nodded with a smile, and mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally: "My master estimates that it will be time." ”

Bai Junzhuo was busy feeding the rats with the mixed rat feed, ignoring Lu Kang's words.

Cut, when is that person going to take care of her, and she doesn't plan to send him.

Yin Xun planned to stay for half a day to see if Cha Jinzhi could find something useful, but the time was approaching, and he didn't hear the news from there, so he had to prepare to leave Luoyang.

was about to leave the Baifu Courtyard, when he suddenly saw Bai Junzhuo coming over, Yin Xun stopped his movements and waited for her to approach, and he didn't speak.

Bai Junzhuo seemed a little angry and asked, "Are you really leaving?" ”

Yin Xun nodded: "Hmm." ”

"Why don't you tell me before you leave?" Bai Junzhuo frowned and said, "In vain, I have always regarded you as a friend." ”

"Didn't Lu Kang tell you?" Yin Xun said lightly.

"Can you say it yourself and say it the same as someone else?" Bai Junzhuo suddenly raised his voice, but after a moment, he softened again, sighed and said, "Okay then, you can go." ”

After saying that, Bai Junzhuo turned around and was about to leave, Yin Xun looked at her, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up, and said softly: "It's not like I'm not coming back." ”

Bai Junzhuo's footsteps paused: "I don't care if you come back or not, what does it have to do with me!" ”

"It has something to do with you," Yin Xun said, "Don't forget, you promised me to get rid of the poison on my body." ”

Bai Junzhuo was silent, the two were silent for a long time, and Yin Xun spoke first: "It's not too early." ”

After saying that, he was about to leave, Bai Junzhuo suddenly said, "Is it okay to be half an hour late?" ”

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

"You come with me."

The White Monarch couldn't help but pull him out, and walked to a courtyard in the White Mansion where few people set foot in it, there was a big plane tree in the center of the courtyard, it was early autumn at the moment, the leaves of the plane tree were slightly red, and it was beautiful in the setting sun.

Bai Junzhuo pulled Yin Xun to the bottom of the big tree and said to him: "This was originally a place where my father was refining medicine, and he only brought me here alone since I was a child, and the rest of the Bai Mansion would never run here." ”

Yin Xun was puzzled: "Why did you bring me here?" ”

Bai Junzhuo squatted down, took out a small shovel behind the tree to dig up the soft soil under the tree, and after a while, she dug out a small jar, she took out the jar, and said to Yin Xun: "The pear blossom wine made by my father in the spring, although it has not been long enough, but the fragrance is already very strong, do you want to drink it?" ”

Yin Xun smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking at Bai Junzhuo's eyes with a trace of emotion that he could not detect, and said, "Okay." ”

Bai Junzhuo put down the jar, ran into the room and took out two wine glasses, then sat side by side with Yin Xun under the tree, poured a cup of pear blossom brew for himself and him, and said to him: "Drinking is a normal ritual for farewell, don't think about it." ”

Yin Xun was puzzled: "What are you thinking?" ”

Bai Junzhuo suddenly blushed again, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”

She picked up the wine glass and drank it, the ancient wine is pure, there is no alcohol blending and no flavor blending, it is very delicious. A glass of wine is sipped, and the lower abdomen is slid all the way, and the mellow taste is overflowing.

She couldn't help but drink a second glass, then a third, and the more she drank, the more luscious she felt, and she couldn't stop.

When she drank to the point where she was already a little smoky, Yin Xun grabbed her hand and didn't let her continue drinking, and asked her, "Just drink, don't you say anything?" ”

Bai Junzhuo's face was red, his eyes were confused, and he said to him, "I seem to be about to say something...... What do you mean? I forgot...... Haha, no matter what, keep drinking! ”

Yin Xun looked at her and said helplessly: "You are drunk." ”

Bai Junzhuo shook his head, "How did you become three or four?" It's obvious that you're drunk. ”

Yin Xun put down his wine glass and picked her up.

"It's not early, I should go, I'll send you back to your room first."

"No, I don't want to go back!" Bai Junzhuo fluttered, "Everyone in Baifu is weird, Apricot doesn't pay attention to me, you have to leave too, I don't want to go back, don't!" ”

"Okay, don't go back, you can sleep in this courtyard tonight."

Yin Xun carried her into the room next to her, put her on the bed, and got up to leave, Bai Junzhuo suddenly stretched out his arms to wrap around him, and his misty eyes seemed to be a little clearer.

"Yin Xun, I know that your identity is not vulgar, and you are definitely not as simple as the son-in-law of an ordinary merchant."

Yin Xun was stunned, was she drunk?

"I'm just ...... ordinary"

Bai Junzhuo raised his hand to cover his mouth and didn't let him continue, "It's okay, I don't know if there's anything I can't let me know, it's just me, it's just me......"

"Just what?" Yin Xun asked as she disguised her hand.

Her expression suddenly became very confused, and she said vaguely, "Do I like you?" It seems to be, and it seems to be not, whether it is ...... or not"

Yin Xun was stunned for a moment, and only laughed out loud for a while, "It should be." ”

"What about you?" Bai Junzhuo stretched out his finger and poked his chest, "Do you have ...... for me?"

He took her hand and leaned over to kiss her softly on the lips, answering her questions in this lingering and sympathetic way.

Bai Jun squeezed his shoulders groggily, and his whole brain was like a pot of thick sesame paste, which was completely useless except for sweet and greasy fever.

It took him a long time before he let go of her and whispered in her ear, "When I get back, I'll tell you who I really am." ”

"You ......" Bai Junzhuo grabbed his hand tightly and looked at him pitifully.

At this time, I suddenly heard Lu Kang outside the door: "Master, it's time for us to leave." ”

He gently broke her hand, covered her with the quilt, and said to her, "I'll be back soon." ”

Bai Junzhuo nodded, his misty eyes blinked, and he fell asleep deeply.

Yin Xun put down the bed tent for her and turned to leave.

About half an hour later, Yin Xun had already left Luoyang City, and the man who had been hiding in the dark and staring at Bai Junzhuo for a long time pushed the door in, lifted the light veil hanging on the bed, and stared at Bai Junzhuo's face.

"I slept so deeply," he said, rubbing her lips and pins off her head, letting her hair fall loose, then reaching into the covers and unbuttoning her shirt.
