That night, Luo Qingzhi came to the ruined Luo Mansion.

Gao Zhen turned his back to her, heard the movement behind him, and slowly turned around.

Luo Qingzhi looked at him with a smile, "It's been a long time."

Gao Zhen shook his head, "I've been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about that."

Luo Qingzhi took the initiative to stretch out her hand, Gao Zhen was stunned, and hurriedly took her hand, for fear that she would regret it in the next second.

Gao Zhen asked, "Are they embarrassing you?"

"No," Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "I was just thinking about how to talk to you."

Gao Zhen paused for a moment, thinking that Luo Qingzhi was going to drive him away again, and his tone was low, "Ah Luo, I really didn't kill Gao Yan."

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I know, you wouldn't do such a thing."

Gao Zhen asked rhetorically, "Then what do you want to tell me?"

Luo Qingzhi took his hand, didn't look at him, and whispered, "You, do you still want to marry me?"

「......」

Gao Zhen was stunned again, unable to believe what he heard, and asked, "You, what did you say?"

Luo Qingzhi sighed, "You heard it."

"I do, I do." Gao Zhen said loudly.

Luo Qingzhi hurriedly said, "Be quiet, someone is following me."

Gao Zhen ignored it and said with a smile, "Ah Luo is finally going to marry me."

Luo Qingzhi saw that Gao Zhen was so happy, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's go back to Yuzhou." Gao Zhen said.

Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "No, we're in the capital."

"In the capital?" Gao Zhen sensed that something was wrong and asked, "Why?"

"After getting married, I need you to go to Ningzhou."

Luo Qingzhi said very calmly, and Gao Zhen laughed at himself, "Even if I don't have to, as long as it is something that Ah Luo wants me to do, I will do it."

Gao Zhen let go of his hand and turned around silently, "Ah Luo, what are you doing with me like this?"

Luo Qingzhi grabbed his arm and forced him to turn around, "That's not what I meant."

Gao Zhen turned around, but didn't look at her.

Luo Qingzhi explained, "I just want to be your wife."

Gao Zhen looked at her slowly, "Wife?"

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Erlang, after such a long delay, we should have been husband and wife a long time ago."

"And then?" Gao Zhen asked.

Luo Qingzhi stared at him and said firmly, "I promised Your Majesty to assist Gao Ji."

Gao Zhen smiled, "Because he is your second brother, he agreed to what he asked you to do without thinking about it, right?"

Luo Qingzhi still wanted to explain, but Gao Zhen continued: "Ah Luo, that's not how things go, you let me learn the art of the court, but you have to assist other people."

Gao Zhen retreated again and again, feeling like he was leaving.

"You, you want the throne?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Gao Zhen didn't answer, just shook his head, "Ah Luo, you have never really cared about me."

Luo Qingzhi wanted to explain, but Gao Zhen turned around and leaped away.

Luo Qingzhi, who stayed in place, couldn't stop sighing.

"Master, you are really amazing."

Qin Shu came from the shadows.

Luo Qingzhi sighed again and again, "I, did I say the wrong thing?"

Qin Shu smiled, "Master, you haven't remembered the memories of the past, have you?"

「......」

Luo Qingzhi didn't deny it, and Qin Shu continued: "Master, I have been with the second son for the past two years, and my affection for you is true, but you ......

Qin Shu didn't continue, and Luo Qingzhi also understood what Qin Shu meant.

"When you come back, do you come to look for me, or do you follow him?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

「......」

Qin Shu sighed, "Naturally, I'm here to find you."

"But you're disappointed in me?" Luo Qingzhi said.

"Don't dare." Qin Shu hurriedly explained, "I, I just think, Second Son, hey..... Forget it, it's your business after all, I don't care, I won't talk about it."

Luo Qingzhi had a headache, "If he can't go to Ningzhou, I can only send you."

Qin Shu spread his hands and did not answer again.

Luofu was no longer inhabitable, and Luo Qingzhi had to return to the imperial city alone.

She was a little discouraged, she thought it was a very simple thing to convince Gao Zhen, but she didn't expect Gao Zhen's reaction to be so big.

Luo Qingzhi walked up to the city wall, and as soon as the time passed, even Jinling City seemed a little hollow, not as popular as during the day, and in the middle of the night, the whole street was empty, only the red lanterns were swaying in the wind.

Early in the morning, Baili Xi came to inquire about Gao Ji's succession ceremony.

"The people of the Ministry of Rites have seen the yellow calendar, and the nearest auspicious day is three days later."

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Okay, I'll leave the matter to the waiwent."

"What?" Baili Xi looked at Luo Qingzhi in a bad mood, "Things haven't been discussed?"

Luo Qingzhi looked at Baili Xi, "Is it so obvious?"

Baili Xi said, "You have three words written on your face: unsuccessful."

Luo Qingzhi sighed and told Baili Xi about last night's events.

Baili smiled, "I'm Gao Zhen, so naturally I'm not happy."

"I don't understand," Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "Did I say something wrong?"

Baili Xi said: "You first said that you wanted to marry him, and then you said that you wanted to send him to Ningzhou, the original intention was nothing, but it sounds like you thought that you married him so that he could go to Ningzhou, and this is your deal."

Luo Qingzhi hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that."

Bai Li Xi said, "I naturally understand that you don't mean that, but he doesn't know what is going on, and he cares about your thoughts, so he will naturally misunderstand."

Luo Qingzhi thought for a moment and looked at Bai Lixi, "Then, what should I do now?"

Baili Xi said, "Just explain it clearly."

Luo Qingzhi was a little deflated, "I don't even know where he is now, even if I want to explain, there is no way."

Baili Xi shook his head slightly, "The so-called authorities are obsessed, that's what it means."

"What do you mean that he's always been with me?" Luo Qingzhi asked rhetorically.

Baili stroked his beard, "Qingqing, remember, nothing can escape the word sincerity."

「......」

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Understood."

"Do you really understand?" Baili Xi stared at her, "Qingqing, in this world, love is the most unbearable."

"I remember, you didn't like Gao Zhen before." Luo Qingzhi asked rhetorically.

Baili Xi shook his head, "Here in Waiweng, your joy and anger are the most important."

"Alright." Baili Xi interrupted, "There are still many things to do in the succession ceremony, I have to go first."

Baili Xi saluted, Luo Qingzhi got up, "Wai Weng go slowly."

After listening to Baili Xi's words, Luo Qingzhi thought alone for a while, she thought, "After all, someone has to do the things in Ningzhou, and this matter can't be delayed."

She summoned Qin Shu to find Gao Zhen's whereabouts.

Qin Shu shook his head slightly, "I finally know what it means to be dark under the lamp, master, haven't you really noticed?"

"Found what?" Luo Qingzhi asked rhetorically.

"The second son didn't go far." Qin Shu said.
