The palace lamp was re-lit, and Gao Zhen came to the desk after dressing neatly.

Luo Qingzhi stood straight, did not salute or speak.

Gao Yan was very patient and asked, "Ah Luo, what happened?" ”

“......”

Luo Qingzhi solemnly bowed, Gao Yan frowned, a little puzzled, but did not stop it.

After Luo Qingzhi finished kowtowing, she looked at Gao Yan and asked word by word: "Second brother, how did my father die?" ”

Gao Yan also stared at her eyes and asked tentatively, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask about this matter?" ”

"How did my father die?" Luo Qingzhi raised her voice, but she still kept her tone steady and did not show any unusual emotions.

“......”

Gao Yan got up, turned his back on her, and said, "In order to protect me, I was stabbed through the chest from behind." ”

Seeing Gao Yan who avoided his eyes like this, Luo Qingzhi was indignant and uneasy.

“...... Who? Luo Qingzhi continued to ask.

Gao Yan paused and said, "A pawn, he has already been corrected by me back then. ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "Second brother, is what you said true? ”

Gao Yan turned around, nodded, and said, "Of course." ”

Luo Qingzhi kowtowed again and said, "Weichen trespassed on the palace gate, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"Arlo." Gao Yan tugged at her arm, trying to pull her up.

Luo Qingzhi raised her head and met his gaze, Gao Yan immediately avoided it, Luo Qingzhi smiled, since returning to Jinling, it was the first time she smiled at Gao Yan like this.

But Gao Yan was tentative and asked, "Ah Luo, have you met anyone?" ”

Luo Qingzhi asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, who do you think I should meet?" ”

Gao Yan didn't answer, and Huang Shi pushed the door in.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to go."

Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Since the queen has something to look for you again, then Weichen retreated." ”

“...... Good. ”

Luo Qingzhi was a little convinced of Li Chu's words, if in the past, even if the queen came to find him, Gao Yan would not let him retreat, and tonight he was obviously no longer willing to talk to himself.

Luo Qingzhi turned around and retreated, walked to the palace gate, turned her head again, and said gently: "Second brother, do you need me to accompany you to find the queen?" ”

“......”

The sound of raindrops became louder and louder, Luo Qingzhi saw Gao Yan open his mouth, but he didn't make a sound, the two looked at each other for a long time, Gao Yan took a few steps closer, took off his big hat, and prepared to tie it for Luo Qingzhi.

"It's late at night, it's cold, let's go back to the house."

Luo Qingzhi pinched the white jade jue on her waist, and before she could tie it tightly, she turned around resolutely, and the untied clothes fell to the ground like this. When the person had already walked a long way, Gao Yan was ready to bend down and pick it up.

Huang Su hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, come on, slave and maid." ”

Gao Yan said "um" and walked towards the palace door, Luo Qingzhi walked very fast, in fact, he couldn't see anything clearly, but he still stepped out of the threshold and stood under the corridor, not knowing who he was talking to.

She ...... You're going to start hating me. ”

Huang Su put on a coat for Gao Yan, relieved, and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, if you tell the county lord the truth, she may not, may not understand." ”

Gao Yan shook his head and said, "She just called me 'Second Brother' three times, which is to give me three chances......"

Huang Shi sighed and said, "Your Majesty ......"

Gao Yan said: "Ah Luo, she never cares who will be the emperor, what she wants is freedom...... However, my life is short, I can't let her go back to Yuzhou, this world, this world, I need her to support her. ”

Huang Shi said: "But the county lord, the county lord will not be the empress." ”

Gao Yan said: "...... Tell Jin Ziji to go as planned. ”

“...... Be. ”

Luo Qingzhi went out of the palace city, the time was approaching, there was no curfew in Jinling, even if it was the hour, there were still shops on the street, and pedestrians were wandering.

She didn't ride a horse, she walked on foot on Suzaku Street, looking for memories, walked all the way along the main street, walked behind the moat, went left, went up from the corner tower, went up to the city tower, turned around, and looked at the lights of thousands of homes. remembered that when she went up to the city tower for the first time, she also saw such bright lights, what Luo Huaiyi said to her.

"Ah Luo, do you know why your mother named you Zhi?"

Luo Qingzhi replied in a milky voice, "Huh? For, in order to stop the war with war. ”

Luo Huaiyi touched her head and said, "It's so smart, Ah Luo, you have to remember that my Luo family is fighting for the lights of thousands of homes in front of me......"

Luo Qingzhi was at a young age, lying on the city wall, struggling to tiptoe, looking downstairs, the lights were brilliant and the voices were boiling.

"Well, Arlo remembers."

Now, Luo Qingzhi, who has grown up, can see the starlight in front of her without stepping on her feet, but she is alone.

After the palace change ten years ago, Gao Yan also took her to the city tower and asked her why the Luo family is fighting to this day.

Just for this sentence, she returned to Yuzhou, seeing the Beifu Army changed to the Pingbei Army, and seeing the veterans leaving one by one, guarding the border alone, so that Luo Qingrou was imprisoned in Miyagi at a young age......

On the city wall, the howling wind blew her face and scattered her tears, but one drop was blown away, and two or three drops fell. She didn't scream, just wept silently.

Fan Li was summoned by Luo Chen, looked at Luo Qingzhi standing in the wind, frowned, but did not step forward immediately.

Luo Chen was puzzled and asked: "Sir, you, why don't you go up to see the master, it's so windy here, the master is not wearing a big hat, he will be sick." ”

"Since she was five years old, I have taught her to never ...... I've never seen her cry in front of me, not even ten years ago......"

Luo Chen himself was wearing a thick coat, and he was trembling slightly, seeing that Fan Li was slow to step forward, he couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to step forward.

Fan Li grabbed him and said, "Don't go." ”

"Sir?"

Fan Li continued: "Let's go back, go back to the house, let the subordinates prepare hot soup, ginger tea, now she needs to calm down." ”

Luo Chen looked at it and said, "...... Be. ”

The sky began to rain again, and Luo Qingzhi stood in the rain like this. Dripping, suffering......

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind him, his steps were heavy, he was not a person who practiced martial arts, and he had no killing intent at all.

The umbrella fell on top of Luo Qingzhi's head, she turned her head, wearing a single coat, holding an umbrella in her right hand, with a worried expression.

"Arlo, it's raining."

Since Gao Zhen said that he wanted to "marry him" that day, this was the first time the two met, Luo Qingzhi wanted to ignore him, but the guy kept trembling beside her, and even the handle of the umbrella trembled slightly.

“...... Let's go, let's go home. ”

There was only one horse left in the tree downstairs, and the horse that Luo Qingzhi rode before didn't know where to go.

She turned her head and asked, "There is only one horse, so I can only do it." ”

Gao Zhen smiled and said, "I can't ask for it." ”

Luo Qingzhi was not in the mood to deal with such teasing, and after turning over on the horse, he stretched out his right hand and pulled Gao Zhen onto the horse, he sat behind him, and wrapped his hands tightly around Luo Qingzhi's waist.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Luo Qingzhi returned to the county lord's mansion as fast as she could.

After dismounting, Gao Zhen's face was pale, his body was shaking, and Luo Qingzhi immediately said, "Go and prepare hot soup and ginger tea." ”

"Your Highness, it's ready, it's all in your room."

"My room?" Luo Qingzhi was a little surprised.

The subordinate replied: "What Mr. Fan ordered before, it was said that the county lord was drenched in rain, so let us prepare." ”

"Okay." Luo Qingzhi didn't want to move around anymore, so she helped Gao Zhen to her room.

Gao Zhen bathed in the room, and Luo Qingzhi waited outside.

Fan Lide came down to report that he knew that Luo Qingzhi was back, so he hurriedly came to find her, and saw Luo Qingzhi standing at the door wet and a little angry, and said, "I have prepared a hot soup for you, go in and take a bath." ”

Luo Qingzhi said softly: "It's okay, Second Prince Luo is inside." ”

"What?"

Luo Qingzhi's head was a little dizzy, and said, "Sir, I don't want to say anything tonight, and you don't have to ask anything, I will go to you tomorrow." ”

Fan Li sighed and said, "You don't want to say it, I won't force you to ask, it's raining, you'll catch a cold, go to Zhi's heart atrium, I'll prepare another hot soup." ”

"yes, okay."

By the time the next person prepared the hot soup in Zhixin's room, and Luo Qingzhi took off her clothes and went into the water, half an hour had passed. When the cold body entered the warm water, she actually felt pain, but her eyelids were heavy, and she had no strength to feel the pain.

She closed her eyes, her head drooping by the tub, and sneered, thinking back to the curses she had cursed over those years.

"Climb up the bones of my father and brother......"

"The dog ...... that the Gao family put in Yuzhou"

Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "It seems that the people of this world can see it very clearly, but I don't know it myself......"

With closed doors and windows, and scattered heat, Luo Qingzhi's head became more and more dizzy. She slowly closed her eyes, and after sliding underwater, she didn't struggle at all, despite the feeling of suffocation.

"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be my ...... who survived"

"Arlo, Arlo? Arlo? ”

The sound of knocking on the door, shouting, wind, and rain all came to Luo Qingzhi's ears one by one, and she surfaced, and her voice became louder and louder.

"Arlo! Arlo? ”

Luo Qing walked out of the bathtub, took off the clothes hanging on the screen, put them on simply, put on his coat, and opened the door.

Gao Zhen held the ginger soup with an anxious expression.

"Arlo, you, are you okay?"

Luo Qingzhi shook her head and wanted to retrieve the ginger tea, but as soon as her fingers touched the bowl, she was dizzy, her feet were weak, and she fell down.

"Arlo!"

Gao Zhen carried her back to the room, covered her with a thick futon, and when she turned around, Luo Qingzhi took his hand.

"What do you want?"

Gao Zhen was stunned and did not answer.

Luo Qingzhi looked at him, her eyes were eager, and she continued to ask: "Do you want the throne?" ”

Gao Zhen frowned, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Luo Qingzhi lost his strength, let go of his hand, and closed his eyes.

Gao Zhen left the room and found a doctor.

After some checking, I only said that I was depressed, and it was raining, and I could get better by drinking the decoction for a few days.

Everyone was relieved, and Fan Li began to command.

"The news of the county lord's illness is not allowed to leak, and no one is allowed to disturb her in the past few days, so that she can recuperate."

"Yes."

Gao Zhen stood on the outermost side and looked at the figure behind the screen, his eyes full of worry.

He asked Fan Li and said, "Sir, can I stay and take care of Arlo?" ”

Fan Li was silent for a while, but still shook his head and said, "There is a difference between men and women, it's not appropriate, just let the female envoy take care of it." ”

Gao Zhen said "good" softly and did not continue to fight.

Fan Li continued to instruct Luo Chen and Qin Shu, saying, "You two, show me this mansion." ”

"Yes."
