The housekeeper of Prince Li's Mansion couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this, and then asked, "What's wrong with Gongzi Qin?"

Hearing this, Qin Huai looked back at the housekeeper and smiled: "It's okay, it's just that it looks like an acquaintance, maybe it's wrong." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the carriage beside him.

When the housekeeper heard this, he glanced at Hua Zhen and Aunt Zhou, but he was a little puzzled, when he just came out, he happened to meet the guards who went in to deliver the letter, so he knew that these two people were here to visit the prince.

Although he was curious about the identities of these two people, he knew his duty, so he didn't say much, sent Qin Huai to the car and then turned around and entered the palace.

Hua Zhen naturally saw Qin Huai through the hat, and when she saw him leaving, she asked Aunt Zhou, "Does Aunt Zhou know who that person was just now?"

Hearing this, Aunt Zhou said softly: "Miss is talking about Qin Huai and Qin's eldest son?"

"Hmm. Vera nodded.

She had never seen this Qin Huai, but she helped her three times and twice in Luzhou City, and she couldn't help but feel curious, who this person was.

"She is Qin Guifei's nephew, Qin Huai, the eldest son of the Qin family. However, he has been traveling abroad to study, and rarely returns to Beijing, so there are not many people who have seen him in Beijing, and Miss naturally doesn't know him. "Aunt Zhou is in charge of the intelligence of the Xingchen Pavilion, and she naturally knows about Qin Huai, so she immediately explained carefully.

Hearing this, Hua Zhen was slightly stunned: "The eldest prince of the Dongjun Palace?"

"Hmm. ”

Seeing Aunt Zhou nodding, Hua Zhen couldn't help but think of the matter of the Dongjun Mansion in her previous life.

When the princes seized the throne in the previous life, in addition to the fifth prince Zhao Ting, there were also the six princes born to Qin Guifei and the eighth prince of Duanfei.

Originally, when her aunt Empress Shen was alive, because the East Palace was out, the position of the crown prince was set early, and after the death of Huayan and the fall of Empress Shen, the ambitions of the six princes and the eighth prince gradually enlarged.

At that time, the Ning family was suspicious of the emperor and stationed in Lulong, but could not give the prince any help, so that the prince was very isolated in Beijing. Coupled with the prince's weak personality, he was soon compared to the other brothers.

In order to help Zhao Ting seize power, Hua Zhen had a very thorough understanding of the other princes.

Naturally, he also knew about the eldest prince of the Dongjun Palace, but what was curious was that even at the critical juncture when the six princes seized power, Qin Huai, who had always been called the first strategist, never appeared.

Later, the six princes failed, and the Dongjun palace also fell, and this Qin prince never appeared. This is also why Zhou Panhui has never seen Qin Huai, but he has only heard of the name of Qin Gongzi of Dongjun Palace.

When she heard Qin Huai's name in Luzhou City, she also thought about the Qin family in Dongjun Wangfu, but she felt that it was impossible, if it was really the Qin family, how could the son of the Qin family appear in Luzhou, and help each other several times.

The Hua family and the Qin family have nothing to do with each other, and it can even be said that they are on opposite sides.

After all, Hua Yan is the prince's own uncle, if he is there, he will naturally help the prince.

And the Dongjun Wangfu is the foreign home of the six princes, and Qin Huai should also stand on the side of the six princes.

Just as he was thinking about it, the butler of Prince Li's Mansion walked out with the guards.

Seeing Hua Zhen and Aunt Zhou, she stepped forward respectfully and arched her hand: "This is the daughter of the Hua family, Miss Hua Zhenhua?"

Hua Zhen nodded, and listened to the housekeeper stretch out his hand very respectfully: "The prince invited Miss Hua into the mansion to speak, and asked Miss Hua to come with me." ”

"The tired butler leads the way. Hua Zhen returned softly, and then followed the butler into the gate of Prince Li's mansion.

The housekeeper led Hua Zhen all the way to the study of Prince Li's mansion, Hua Zhen looked at the familiar study, and her heart was slightly moved.

Ordinary people are divided into categories, and the general guests are in the side hall, only when they meet important guests, they will open the main door and welcome guests in the main hall, and the people who can enter the study are the best friends of the main family, and the deep trust of the main family, after all, there are a lot of things in the study, not everyone can enter.

Today, when Prince Li saw Hua Zhen's letter, he directly asked the housekeeper to lead her to the study, just to tell Hua Zhen about Prince Li's attitude towards her.

Hua Zhen understood herself, and followed the housekeeper in, and saw Prince Li sitting on the chair behind the bookcase, still holding the letter that Zhou Pan had just sent in, and a cup of tea in front of him.

The sandalwood is still burning indoors, and the whole room is filled with the smell of sandalwood, which is inexplicably reassuring.

Hearing the movement, Prince Li put down the book, and then looked at Hua Zhen.

Hua Zhen immediately stepped forward and bowed slowly: "Hua Zhen greets Prince Li, the prince is a thousand years old." ”

Prince Wenyanli smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't see the appearance of middle age after reading forty, he was already handsome, coupled with his perennial martial arts practice, he had a trace of arrogance in his bones, which made people can't help but feel awe in their hearts.

"Pan'er is back, when did you arrive in the capital, why don't you let people send a letter in advance?" Saying that, Prince Li instructed the people who were waiting around him to give Zhou Pan a seat, and then looked at Zhou Pan.

"It's been a year and a half since you left the capital. He sighed a little: "It's been a year and a half since your father left." ”

Hua Zhen replied softly: "One year and seven months." ”

Prince Wenyanli sighed lightly, and then asked: "I heard Luo Yong say that before your father died, he asked him to send you back to Luzhou, I originally thought that you were going to live in Luzhou for a long time, why did you come back suddenly." ”

Hearing Prince Li mention Rayong's name, Hua Zhen couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart.

She had seen the list of soldiers who died in battle, and Rayong's name was on the front of the list, and since Rayong sent her to Luzhou, she had never appeared again, and Prince Heli actually knew that he was still alive.

It stands to reason that if Rayong is incognito, it will never be possible for Prince Li to know, after all, Prince Li is also surnamed Zhao, and he still has royal blood on his body.

As if seeing the doubts in Hua Zhen's heart, Prince Li smiled: "I counted the list of soldiers who died in the war, and there are still numbers of who lives and who dies." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen quickly put away the doubts in her eyes, lowered her head and said softly: "After Uncle Luo sent me back to Luzhou, he told me not to return to Beijing. ”

Prince Wenyanli frowned slightly: "What is it?"

Hua Zhen nodded to Aunt Zhou, who took out something wrapped in black cloth from her arms and handed it to the scholar waiting in the study.

The scholar took it and put it on the top of Prince Li's bookcase.

"This is what Zhen'er's nursing mother gave to Zhen'er before she died, saying that it was left by her father, and Zhen'er was only afraid that it would bring ruin, so she went back to Beijing today to ask the prince to save Zhen'er's life. Hua Zhen knelt on the ground as she spoke.

Seeing this, Prince Li hurriedly stood up, strode around the bookcase, and helped Hua Zhen up.
