Chapter 60: The Wine Sacrifice
The spring rain stopped, but the boredom in Gao Zhen's heart did not stop.
Gao Zhen turned around and was about to leave, but Luo Qingzhi stopped her
"Ah Chao."
Gao Zhen said "um" and stopped, but did not look back.
Luo Qingzhi walked in front of him, tilted her head slightly, met his gaze, and a pair of innocent and lost eyes hit her heart.
Her voice was gentle, and she said slowly, "Ah Chao, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that it's not a completely safe place in the palace."
"I know." Gao Zhen nodded, "I know, Arlo, I'm just, just ......."
Luo Qingzhi blinked, waiting for his answer.
"I'm just, a little jealous......
Gao Zhen's answer made Luo Qingzhi stunned, "Jealous? Me, me and Your Majesty?"
"Hmm" Gao Zhen nodded and said, "I know that you and Your Majesty have known each other since they were young, and you have been together for so many years, and he knows many things that I don't know, I ......
Before Gao Zhen could finish speaking, Luo Qingzhi laughed.
Gao Zhen immediately lowered his head, "It's naïve, isn't it?"
Luo Qingzhi hugged him gently, "Not naïve."
Gao Zhen enjoyed Luo Qingzhi's initiative every time, he hugged her back, and even pressed slightly, hugging her tighter.
"Your Majesty and I have known each other since childhood, and if we could be together, we would have been together a long time ago." Luo Qingzhi said.
The haze of the night was instantly dispelled by a hug and a word.
Gao Zhen took the initiative to end the hug, and Luo Qingzhi thought that he had calmed his sensitive thoughts and was about to say goodnight.
"Can I kiss you?"
Luo Qingzhi's eyes were stunned, Gao Zhen lowered his head and kissed her lips, at first he was still gentle and tentative, and when he noticed that Luo Qingzhi did not refuse, he began to attack.
Luo Qingzhi was just stunned at first, but by the time she reacted, she was already entangled, so she had to close her eyes and let him attack.
Both of them gradually immersed themselves in this kiss, the temperature rose, and they made ambiguous sounds.
"What are you doing?"
The sudden sound made both of them suddenly come back to their senses, looking at the door of the room that had not been closed, and Fan Li, who had gone and returned, stood at the door with a surprised look in his eyes.
Fan Li said sharply, "You guys..... You ......"
Gao Zhen stood in front of Luo Qingzhi and preemptively explained, "Master, we are meant to be husband and wife."
"That's expediency." Fan Li said.
Gao Zhen said seriously, "No, we have been husband and wife for a long time."
"Ah Chao!"
Luo Qingzhi stopped Gao Zhen from continuing, "You go back first, I'll explain."
Gao Zhen refused to leave alone.
"Let's go back," Luo Qingzhi said softly.
Gao Zhen left with a worried face.
The moment the door of the room closed, Fan Li said angrily: "Do you know what you are doing?"
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I know."
Fan Li shook his head, even more angry, "He's seven years younger than you."
「...... I know."
Luo Qingzhi's indifferent attitude made Fan Li even more angry, "You told me at the beginning that you wanted to support him to ascend to the throne of God, and now, you have such a relationship with him, do you still have to become the master after the fact?"
「......」
After being silent for a long time, Luo Qingzhi said, "No, I won't enter the palace."
Fan Li asked rhetorically, "Then what are you and him doing now, huh?"
Luo Qingzhi didn't answer, Fan Li continued: "Sir naturally hopes that you can meet a good person and live an ordinary life from now on, but Gao Zhen will not be that person, after he ascends the throne of God, all of us who assist will retire, don't you understand this truth?"
"I, I know." Luo Qingzhi replied.
Fan Li sighed deeply and said, "You know everything, everything
Understand, then tell me, what is the matter with you and him?"
"Master!"
Gao Zhen, who was supposed to leave, pushed open the door and said loudly, "Master! It has nothing to do with Arlo, it's me, it's me who can't help myself, it's me who is bold, it's that I like her, Arlo is just, but I can't refuse me......
Fan Li listened to Gao Zhen's monologue for a long time, and instead of being angry, he became even more angry, he looked at Luo Qingzhi and said solemnly, "It's broken."
Gao Zhen also looked at Luo Qingzhi, panicking in his heart, staring at her mouth desperately, for fear of missing her every word.
The door of the study was wide open, and after a long winter of dormancy, the sound of insects was once again the main theme of the night.
Luo Qingzhi said, "Sir, Ah Chao and I are going to be husband and wife."
Fan Li knew that this was Luo Qingzhi's answer, he sighed deeply, threw up his sleeves and left.
Since Gao Zhen came to the County Lord's Mansion, he had never seen Fan Li speak loudly to Luo Qingzhi, he looked at Luo Qingzhi worriedly, and asked cautiously, "Am I in trouble?"
"Nope." Luo Qingzhi shook her head and said, "Sir will know sooner or later."
Just outside the door, Gao Zhen almost heard the words of Fan Li and Luo Qingzhi, although he knew Luo Qingzhi's plan early on, he still couldn't help asking, "If this matter is successful, will Ah Luo really be by my side?"
Luo Qingzhi listened to his question, knowing that he had heard the conversation in the room.
"Until then, if you still need me, I'll stay with you." Luo Qingzhi promised.
"Of course I need you." Gao Zhen said immediately, for fear that Luo Qingzhi would not be able to understand his intentions.
Luo Qingzhi didn't answer, just smiled shallowly.
On the second day, Luo Qingzhi and Gao Zhen took the emperor's edict, and after meeting with Luo Chen, they entered the Guozijian in a huge formation.
Luo Chen asked if he was looking for someone, and Luo Qingzhi said, "Wait a little longer."
Qi Zhen came to the hall in a panic and asked, "What does the county lord mean by this?"
Luo Qingzhi said, "Don't Lord Si Ye understand?"
Qi Zhen didn't know why, and asked, "The lower officials naturally don't know, and I ask the county lord to make it clear."
Qin Shu brought Xia Ji to Guozijian and nodded towards Luo Qingzhi.
Luo Qingzhi said to Luo Chen, "Go ahead."
With permission, Luo Chen whistled out the yellow dog, put a handkerchief on the yellow dog's nose and sniffed it, and then led it to run inside the national prison.
"Wait, Lord Siye."
Xia Ji was brought to Luo Qingzhi, most of the injuries on his body had healed, and he looked a lot more energetic.
Luo Qingzhi said, "Lord Xia, many things are not what you think."
Xia Ji frowned, looked around, and after looking around, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Qingzhi watched his series of movements, and the guess in her heart became clearer.
At this time, Luo Chen's yellow dog came out with Li Shen in his mouth, and the onlookers were a little surprised.
Naturally, everyone doesn't understand why the wanted person appears in Guozijian.
Li Shen broke free from the shackles of the yellow dog, and Luo Qingzhi nodded.
Luo Chen patted the yellow dog on the back, and Li Shen was relieved.
"See you again, Master Lee."
Li Shen didn't speak, and he looked like he refused to admit it.
Luo Qingzhi took out the two seals in his arms, and as soon as he handed them to Xia Ji, he asked with some horror, "Where did you get it?"
"One was obtained from Mrs. Xia, and the other was obtained from the Guozijian."
Xia Ji guessed that one of them was given by his aunt, but he didn't expect the other one to be from Guozijian.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Luo Qingzhi looked at the door, waited and waited, and Baili Han walked in in court clothes.
Xia Ji immediately saluted, "Xiaguan see Lord Baili."
Hearing Xia Ji's voice, the other people present also saluted.
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Why haven't you seen Lord Sacrificial Wine for such a lively event today?"
Qi Zhen sneered and said, "The county lord knows that Lord Sacrificial Wine is seriously ill."
"Oh," Luo Qingzhi said lightly, "Luo Chen, tell me, I just found this Master Li Shen there."
Luo Chen said loudly, "The subordinate found it in the room of the priest."
Qi Zhen immediately retorted, "Nonsense."
Luo Qingzhi was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "Since this is the case, why don't we go and have a look, Lord Sacrificial Wine is seriously ill, and he should indeed go and have a look."
Qi Zhen stopped, "Your Excellency is seriously ill and needs to recuperate, please let your adult go."
Luo Qingzhi didn't care about Qi Zhen's words at all, and a group of people went to the courtyard of the wine sacrifice lord like this.
Bai Lihan and Luo Qingzhi took the lead, and everyone came to the courtyard where the wine was sacrificed, and Qi Zhen blocked the door of the room again, saying, "Don't bully my country's eunuch and no one."
Luo Qingzhi smiled, "Okay, Si Ye is sincere, then, the suddenness of the Lord Sacrificial Wine's illness, have you never suspected it?"
Qi Zhen was stunned, he was naturally suspicious.
"It's better than that." Luo Qingzhi took a step back, "None of us go in, you go in first and take a look, how about it?"
Qi Zhen hesitated, turned around and opened the door, and walked in.
But in an instant, Qi Zhen came out in horror and asked loudly, "Where did you hide the sacrificial wine?"
Luo Chen brought Li Shen forward, and Luo Qingzhi said, "Here."
Qi Zhen glared angrily and asked, "Does the county lord think I'm a fool?"
Luo Qingzhi sighed, and Bai Lihan said, "I think the county lord should know the truth, so you can tell it quickly."
After Bai Lihan finished speaking, he looked at Luo Qingzhi.
"Luochen."
Luo Qingzhi shouted, Luo Chen nodded, entered the room, rummaged through it, and carried out a box.
"Open it." Luo Qingzhi said.
Qi Zhen slowly opened the box, and there were a lot of rubber masks inside.
Luo Chen took out one of them, asked his subordinates to hold down Li Shen, and put the mask on strongly, tightly sealed, and the appearance of sacrificial wine appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Qi Zhen couldn't believe it, and roared, "You, who the hell are you?"
Li Shen didn't speak, and Luo Qingzhi began to explain, "At first, I thought that Lord Siye was an ally, but later, I realized that you have been kept in the dark."
Gao Zhen stood up and asked, "Does Master Si Ye know who I am?"
「...... You are Luo Jinchao." Although Qi Zhen didn't understand, he still answered.
Gao Zhen continued to ask, "That night, you saw me and said a word, do you remember?"
What are you talking nonsense, when did I see you at night?"
Qi Zhen's words made Luo Qingzhi completely confirm her thoughts.
Luo Chen took out a mask from the box again, and in an instant, Li Shen changed into Qi Zhen's appearance again.
Qi Zhen's eyes widened, "What, how can this be?"
