Luo Qingzhi shook her head and said, "Go to the door and tell Feng Zinan and ask him to wait for me in the hall." ”

"Tsk, Arlo, it's daytime." Zhixin smiled evilly.

"I'm going to discuss things with him, don't talk nonsense with him." Luo Qingzhi said solemnly.

As soon as Feng Zinan entered the hall, he pounced and knelt on the ground.

"Young master, your subordinates are incompetent, and they let you encounter danger in the palace, please punish the young master."

Zhixin squatted down, quietly approached Feng Zinan, and whispered: "It's okay, it's okay, you still have a chance to atone." ”

Luo Qingzhi coughed lightly and said, "I remembered that there was a letter from the Medicine King Valley the day before yesterday, asking if I had met their young valley master. ”

When Zhixin heard this, she immediately said, "Come on, I'll help you decoct the medicine, you can talk." ”

Luo Qingzhi let Feng Zinan get up and asked, "Who did you trip up last night?" ”

Feng Zinan thought for a while, and said slowly: "Last night, the young master, you left the banquet, I met Concubine Qi in the palace according to the previous plan, and she told her subordinates that Your Majesty has changed greatly since she was injured five years ago, and she will kill if she is not satisfied, and Concubine Qi Niangniang doesn't know what is going on, but Niangniang told her subordinates that Your Majesty will secretly see Concubine Shu. ”

"Concubine Shu?" Luo Qingzhi thought for a while, and then asked, "What about the others?" ”

"No, my subordinates were about to leave, and a palace maid came in to report that General Yuan was searching for assassins, and I wanted to hide on the eaves to find a chance to go out, but Concubine Qi pushed me into a secret room, and after an hour, my subordinates found the mechanism to come out." Feng Zinan said.

As he spoke, Feng Zinan knelt down again, full of self-blame, and said: "My subordinates are not good at the art of organs, so it took so long for the young master to face the danger alone. ”

Luo Qingzhi held her forehead and said impatiently: "If you don't move like this again, you will ask for sin, and you will go back to Yuzhou." ”

Feng Zinan stood up silently, bowing his head and not daring to speak.

Luo Qingzhi looked him up and down, thinking that if he really listened to Zhixin's advice, this guy would not apologize with death. Luo Qingzhi shook her head and comforted herself, there are still three days, and then we will talk about it.

She coughed lightly and said, "Everything seems to have led us into the game last night, but judging from the current situation, maybe it is the prince who they want to frame, don't act rashly recently, wait and see." ”

"Yes."

Feng Zinan replied.

"In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will leave Beijing in the near future, arrange impermanence to secretly protect him, send the prince to the south, and then find a way to send him to the outside of the Saiwai, everything outside the Saiwai has been arranged?" Luo Qingzhi said.

Feng Zinan replied: "It's all arranged, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go to the outside of the Saiwai, and Mr. Fan will take care of it personally." ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded, waved his hand to signal Feng Zinan to retreat, Feng Zinan walked a few steps, hesitated, turned his head and asked: "Young master, don't you think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to stay away from this whirlpool?" ”

Luo Qingzhi remembered Fang Cai's Gao Zhen's eyes, tapped her fingers on the table, and thought, ten years is really too long, and many things are indeed different.

"When I was a child, I promised that he would take care of him, and if he wanted to, we would follow the plan, and if he didn't want to leave." Luo Qingzhi paused for a moment and continued: "Then just protect his life." ”

Luo Qingzhi thought for a while and said, "Concubine Qi is no longer credible, so it's broken." ”

"Yes."

Feng Zinan was a little helpless, and said: "This Concubine Qi is Your Majesty's cousin, and she is no longer credible, over the years, Your Majesty has really been alone in the palace." ”

Luo Qingzhi didn't answer, Feng Zinan felt that he shouldn't say this, and immediately saluted and left the hall.

The snow outside the house seemed to be bigger, Luo Qingzhi walked to the porch and stretched out her hand to catch a few snowflakes, but the snow-white flowers turned into water as soon as they landed in her palm, dripping down her fingers. The hands that were scorched by the charcoal fire in the house warmed themselves, but they also made it impossible for them to catch the snowflakes they wanted.

After sunset, Luo Qingrou came out of the palace, with tears on her delicate face, and when she saw Luo Qingzhi, she cried and hugged her, and said with a crying voice: "Sister, save the prince's brother." ”

Luo Qingzhi seemed to have expected such a situation for a long time, she gently pulled Luo Qingrou away, wiped the tears on her face, and said softly: "Arou, Gao Zhen is already a concubine, out of the county lord's mansion, you can't call him like this anymore, okay?" ”

"Sister, I know everything, last night's incident Brother Prince was framed, how could such a good person as Concubine Niangniang frame Sister, these ten years, I have lived alone in the palace, and it is the Concubine Niangniang and Brother Prince who are taking care of me, Sister, you beg Your Majesty for mercy, okay?" After Luo Qingrou finished speaking, she continued to throw herself into Luo Qingzhi's arms.

"Sister, all these years, do you know how much I want to go home? Do you know how much I miss my sister? Luo Qingrou continued.

Luo Qingzhi sighed slightly, and said calmly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be fine, as long as you accompany him obediently, don't let him do stupid things, Sister will definitely not let him have anything." ”

"Really?" Luo Qingrou raised her face, her big eyes full of tears fluttering.

Luo Qingzhi nodded firmly, "Of course." ”

After getting Luo Qingzhi's affirmative answer, Luo Qingrou finally showed her face, hugged her gently, and said, "Sister, I really miss you, will Sister stay with me in the future?" ”

Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Of course." ”

"Sister, no matter what happens, Sister must remember that I am really happy to be the daughter of the Luo family and the sister of Luo Qingzhi."

After Luo Qingrou finished speaking, she took the initiative to let go of her and saluted respectfully.

"Sister, I'm back in the room."

Luo Qingzhi let out an "um" and watched Luo Qingrou leave. But I felt a little uneasy.

"The wind comes from the south."

"The subordinates are here."

"Find someone to look at Arou."

"Yes."

Two days later, in the imperial city, in the southwest corner of the Furo Palace

There is no palm lamp in the palace, only a few candles in front of the Ming Hall swaying in the wind, flickering and dimly illuminating Gao Zhen kneeling in front of the coffin.

Gao Zhen wore thin filial piety clothes like an idiot, and would only keep repeating the action of throwing paper money on his hands, and the cold wind was blowing, blowing up the burning paper money, and the paper ash fell on his hair and shoulders.

When Luo Qingzhi walked into the palace, she saw such a scene, and she couldn't rest assured, she came alone in the dark night, saw this scene, but didn't know how to step forward. In the midst of hesitation, a cacophony came. Luo Qingzhi turned around and hid in the shadow of the tree.

A group of palace people, about five or six, walked in with a grin, one kicked the brazier, and two held Gao Zhen.

The eunuch at the head of the eunuch had a sharp voice, and said in a weird manner: "Prince, oh no, Gao Zhen, tsk, I didn't obey me before, I regret it, if I obeyed me at the beginning, with my friendship with Huang Gonggong, maybe I can help you say a few good words, and you can also be an idle prince, and you will not become such a concubine now." ”

Gao Zhen raised his eyebrows and said viciously, "You get out of here." ”

The eunuch immediately laughed, "What, you let me go." ”

He touched his face, Gao Zhen immediately turned his head, the eunuch was dissatisfied, and said, "You two, hold him down for me, I'm trying it today." ”

The eunuch who got the order immediately pressed Gao Zhen with all his might, and the eunuch laughed a few times lewdly, and was about to reach out to untie his clothes.

Luo Qingzhi picked up the stone on the ground, hit the heads of the three people quickly, and the three of them immediately let go, and it happened that the wind was coming, blowing up the paper on the ground.

The two who didn't do it immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, saying, "Concubine Niangniang, I didn't do it, it was all their hands." ”

The eunuch who was the leader said "hey", and he wanted to say something, but Luo Qingzhi hit him with a stone on his calf again, making him kneel right in front of Concubine Shu's rank.

The man immediately panicked, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Concubine Niangniang, the slave knows the mistake and knows the mistake." ”

The remaining four people also knelt in front of the tablet and kowtowed repeatedly. When the wind stopped, the five people immediately left the palace in a panic.

Gao Zhen knelt in front of the concubine's tablet and said slowly: "Mother, take me away, take me away." ”

After knocking several times in a row, a blood hole appeared on his forehead.

Luo Qingzhi didn't want to come forward, but in the end, she walked out of the shadows and came to the front of the hall. He spoke slowly in a cold voice.

"I'm not telling you, you have to live well, only by living can you have a chance."

Gao Zhen heard the familiar voice, did not immediately look up, and waited for a while before slowly raising his head and turning around. Seeing Luo Qingzhi appear, he was first happy, then angry, and then shy. In the end, he didn't say a word, just stared at her motionlessly.

Luo Qingzhi squatted down and looked at him, thought for a long time before slowly speaking, and said, "Arou went back to the house and cried for a while, I promised Arou that I would save your life, so don't, don't do anything stupid." ”

Gao Zhen looked at the woman in front of him who he had been thinking about for ten years, from yesterday to now, from her eyes, she only saw pity for herself and escaped. It's as if it was someone else who promised him ten years ago that he would always protect him.

Luo Qingzhi saw that Gao Zhen had not spoken, thinking that he should have heard his words, so he got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Luo Qingzhi was about to leave again, Gao Zhen wanted to get up and hold her, but after kneeling for too long, her legs had no intuition for a while, and she leaned forward and was about to fall. Luo Qingzhi held Gao Zhen with both hands and let him fall on top of him.

The moment they embraced, she smelled the fragrance of osmanthus on Gao Zhen's body, and almost instantly, her whole body went soft, and she obviously felt the strange feeling in her body.

"Didn't Zhixin say three days?" Luo Qingzhi almost gritted her teeth and said.

Gao Zhen was puzzled, and immediately said, "What three days? ”

Gao Zhen's breath spilled on her neck as she spoke, making her a little itchy.

"Your Highness, I'm poisoned, it's good for you to help me to the palace." Luo Qingzhi said.

Gao Zhen didn't say a word, and hugged her, such a move made Luo Qingzhi a little surprised, thinking that someone who looked so thin could actually pick herself up.

Approaching Gao Zhen, she smelled the fragrance of osmanthus again, and she suddenly remembered that she had also smelled this fragrance that day. Suspicious eyes looked at Gao Zhen.
