The chill gradually receded, and compared to the severe cold, the early sun of February was like a ball of fire. Then he retreated from the extra clothes on his body, and began to feel the slightest warmth, so that the summer of Hades was not far away.

Sitting on horseback, the ribbon tied on the cuffs was constantly pulled back by the wind, and the graceful arc was drawn in the air, which was very meaningful. The clattering hooves of the horse stopped in front of the Tonkaku, and the evening jumped off the horse's back, pushed the door in, and passed through several paths lined with flowers as white as snow or red as blood, and knocked on Manzhu's door. "Sister Manzhu, are you in the room?" didn't respond, Wan'er turned around and saw Da Dong running in front of him panting, "Sister Manzhu seems to have gone out, we just searched for it, and we didn't see Sister Manzhu." ”

Completely unexpected in the evening.

"Didn't I specifically tell you to take good care of Sister Manzhu before I went out, and don't let her go out for the time being?"

After that, Da Dong didn't dare to look at the eyes of the late child, squinted at the small flowers on the blooming spring vine on the side, and said weakly: "I kept your words in mind, but Sister Manzhu was worried that the honeysuckle picked last year would be moldy, and she wanted to take advantage of today's new sun to let us take it out to bask in the sun." You also know that there are dozens of bags of honeysuckle, I saw Sister Manzhu sitting in the gazebo, doing embroidery wholeheartedly, I didn't worry too much, that is, I went to dry the flowers, and when we were done, we found that Sister Manzhu was not there. ”

Wan'er glared at Da Dong and shook her hands impatiently, "In that case, what else do I have to say?" Don't be stunned, hurry up and go out to find Sister Manzhu." ”

Da Dong saw that he ran away at night, and hurriedly put down the cloth bag containing honeysuckle in his hand and followed.

Datou has consciously gone to the front of the landscape to eat grass and rest, she can only run at night, she ran to the door of the "a branch of red plum out of the wall" store in one breath, and the footsteps continued.

"Isn't that late?"

Wan'er heard that the voice was still Jiuling, but she didn't look back.

"Are you looking for Manzhu at night?"

Hearing Manzhu's name, Wan'er immediately turned around, ran into the barber shop out of breath, and took Jiuling's hand, "Were you calling our young lady's name just now?"

Jiuling nodded, seeing that Wan'er was holding her hand firmly, she called out to the assistant and poured a cup of herbal tea for Wan'er.

Wan'er stared at the water cup without reaching out to catch it, and looked up at Jiuling, "I don't want to drink water now, Jiuling, you quickly tell me where our young lady went?"

Jiuling saw that Wan'er was nervous, didn't detour, and went straight to the topic: "Just now I saw Manzhu being pulled by a woman who looked a little good, I went out to ask Manzhu, and the woman looked very unhappy, shook off my hand, and left with Manzhu." ”

"Why don't you hold our young lady and not let the woman take her?" said the evening with a hint of blame.

"I thought, too, don't you know, that woman has a small wrist and a group of ghost guards behind her, so I'm not going to touch a stone with an egg? ”

Jiu Ling described it abstractly, and Wan'er continued to ask without asking a specific question, but made herself sound more and more confused.

"Don't worry, Manzhu is a smart woman, and when I saw her look at me, I was not afraid at all, maybe Manzhu had something to do and went somewhere with that woman. ”

Although Wan'er was anxious, she didn't have the slightest clue, so she had to reply alone.

If you want to say who and where Manzhu was taken to, I'm afraid that the parties are excluded, and no one knows anymore.

In the Hidden Temple

Of course, Manzhu knew where he was now, however, what he didn't expect was that His Royal Highness Yan Luo would actually send Meng Po to bring him into the palace.

The attendants in the hall have all been transferred to the library by Yan Luo, and now the only ones present are Meng Po and Manzhu.

Yan Luo wears a laurel wreath on her head, dressed in gorgeous clothes, her tall figure is even more outstanding, the silver bracelet on her wrist shines with a faint blue light, and the tattoos engraved on her ankles contain her love for Enma.

Yan Luo got up from her seat, walked slowly to Manzhu, and bent down to help Manzhu who was kneeling on the ground. The smile at the corners of the mouth, no one knows the meaning.

Meng Po naturally didn't understand, but she was secretly happy in her heart, guessing that Yan Luo must have something important to let her bring Manzhu, and it was not a good thing.

Yan Luo saw that Meng Po was thinking about something, and she didn't care, "Cui Ling'er, you can go out now." ”

“......”

Meng Po thought she had misheard, and looked at Yan Luo in place.

"What? Do you not understand me, or do you deliberately disobey me?"

Meng Po couldn't help but tremble, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in a panic: "How dare Cui Ling'er go against His Highness's wishes, I'll go, I'll go." ”

Meng Po's body didn't stand up completely straight, like an octogenarian old lady lying on her back, and moved out of the hidden hall upside down.

Manzhu was a little frightened, however, what was even more strange was that she was thinking, what was Yan Luo's intention in sending Meng Po down at this time?

"Manjoo, are you wondering why I'm going to see you now?"

Manzhu raised her head slightly and looked at Yan Luo, "If you go back to Your Highness, I do think so. ”

"Good. Yan Luo didn't finish speaking, quickly turned to stare at Manzhu and said with a smile: "I heard that Manzhu and you have a good relationship with Zou Zhou, but I'm very curious, with the personalities of the two of you, how can you be so good?"

When Manjoo thought about it, she knew where she had heard it.

"Your Highness is right, Zou Zhou and I have a good relationship, maybe it's because of our complementary personalities. ”

Yan Luo was quite pleased that Manzhu admitted honestly, and then looked at Manzhu's eyes no longer kindness, and looked at each other coldly, "Then you answer me again, do you know that Zou Zhou is actually a girl?"

One sentence made Manzhu Hua's face pale, and I don't know whether to say "no" or "yes"?

"If you don't tell me, I'll assume you know the truth!"

"Yes, Manzhu already knew that Zou Zhou was a daughter, so she had to dress up as a boy. ”

Yan Luo sneered a few times in a row, and the laurel crown above her head trembled slightly.

"I'm just asking you, and since you can answer me truthfully, then I won't blame you, and there's no need to be afraid of me. When he spoke, Yan Luopi didn't smile, and he could see that Manzhu's palms were sweating a lot.

Seeing that Manzhu was starting to get nervous and everything was under control, Yan Luo didn't show a trace in her expression, she took a few steps closer to Manzhu, put her hand on Manzhu's left shoulder, and her voice became gentle, and her tone was softer:

"I don't have a problem with whether you want to continue or deepen your friendship with Zou Zhou, but ----"

Yan Luo pinched Manzhu's shoulder hard, and said with a bite to say: "You may not know that the reason why Zou Zhou wants to pretend to be a boy is actually because of me, as long as I don't want to restore Zou Zhou's identity as a girl, she will always be just a little ghost." Manzhu, aren't you worried about being talked about because of your close relatives? Think about it again, your Shahua will no longer remember who you are now, and if your previous image is ruined because of a Zou Zhou, who else would be willing to marry you? Of course, if you are willing to be my ears and eyes to keep an eye on Zou Zhou all the time, and report to me, I will not only let you enjoy the treatment of a famous nobleman, but also find a way to make your Shahua think of you as soon as possible, and then I will personally arrange your marriage. ”

Manzhu watched as Yan Luo's pupils dilated several times due to fright, and her body leaned back out of instinct, her footsteps moving slowly. And Yan Luo didn't look at it:

"Well, seeing your appearance, it must be because you have walked so far that you are tired, you can go back now. ”

Yan Luo let go of her hand, and by the way, she gently pushed Manzhu, and after speaking, she turned around with a smile in her eyes.

Manzhu thought about what Yan Luo said over and over again in her mind, and walked slowly to the door, and came from behind her:

"Give you three hours to think about it, and I forgot to tell you, if you choose to oppose me, I can only hate you and Zou Zhou together, and at that time, don't say that your brother Shahua has become someone else's husband, I will make your life even more miserable than now, you better think about it carefully." ”

Manzhu turned her head to look at Yan Luo's eyes, and the color of the bloodshot deepened little by little.

A few hundred meters away from the hidden hall, Manzhu stopped, looked back at the door of the hidden hall, and the sweat and tears on his face fell together. Zou Zhou's extremely bright smiling face appeared in front of her, pressing her heart, the balance in her heart shook left and right, Sha Hua and herself and Zou Zhou, who is it that you are biased?

Manjoo doesn't have an answer in her mind that she will definitely not regret.

Meng Po, who was guarding outside the hall, followed Manzhu to the bottom of the Nai He Bridge, she saw that Manzhu wanted to go and didn't want to go, she was exhausted and patient, and stopped in front of Manzhu angrily.

"Where are you going?"

If you have nothing to do, you can still be confident, except for Yan Luo, only Meng Po can do it.

Man Zhuwan didn't want to let Meng Po see her red eyes, so she quickly covered half of her face with a handkerchief, "What does it matter to you when I go home?"

"Yo, wasn't it just that He was summoned by His Highness Yan Luo? I have grown a lot of courage? Let me ask you, what is the matter with His Highness Yan Luo?"

Manzhu didn't want to mess with Meng Po, not only did she not answer, but reflexively walked up the Nai He Bridge, nodded when she saw Ri Youshen, and walked over.

How could Meng Po let it go so easily?

How can you say that the bridge is her own territory, Meng Po is air that day, and she stepped forward and grabbed one of Manzhu's arms, "I asked you, you want to run?"

"I don't have anything to say to you, and let me go back. ”

"Manzhu, Manzhu, don't you just rely on black and white and Lord Zou Zhou to dare to ignore me? You are also shameless, who doesn't know that you and Lord Zou Zhou are ambiguous now, and you also say that you are single-minded to Sha Hua, and you have no second thoughts, aren't you slapping yourself in the face?"

Manzhu's eyes glared at Meng Po angrily, the grievances accumulated in her heart burst out like a flood, her low anger had been completely ignited, and she grabbed Meng Po's hand with her left hand and shook it hard, and before Meng Po could react, she slapped her.

"You...... How dare you hit me?"

Meng Po panicked, stepped back again and again, leaned on the railing of the bridge, quietly looked sideways at the bloody river water became clear, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and she was secretly relieved in her heart.
