said that Lingyun and Huanyu, a tender and sweet feeling was disturbed by the little girl Yuzhu who broke in recklessly, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed; Lingyun lazily asked him what was the matter?

Yuzhu replied with trepidation: "Jun Ma, county lord, He Lu, the housekeeper of the Hou Ye Mansion outside, is asking to see!" ”

"Butler of the Hou Mansion, what is he doing here?" Huanyu frowned, a little confused.

Ling Yun's originally warm and jade-like face immediately appeared with a layer of coldness. As soon as he mentioned the Hou Ye's Mansion, he couldn't help but think of He Yuting. He knew that He Lu must have sent him from He Yuting to come this time, and nine times out of ten it was related to the whereabouts of the prince of the Hou Yefu.

Seeing Ling Yun's face suddenly change, Huanyu couldn't help but say a little strangely: "Junma, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ling Yun's clear expression was as cold as ice, and his voice was indifferent: "It's okay, let him wait for me in the living room." ”

Yuzhu responded in a panic and went out to make arrangements.

Ling Yun changed his clothes, and then was supported by the Lord of Huanyu County, and came to the living room without hurrying.

He Luwei has been waiting here for a long time. At this time, seeing the two of them walking in, they hurriedly took two steps forward, and respectfully met Ling Yun and Lord Huanyu; Then he carefully presented a brocade box and said:

"Commander Ling was injured in order to save my family's Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye and the princess were very unhappy, and specially sent the villain to send a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and a Tianshan Snow Lotus to express their gratitude; The mere salute is not a respect, and I also ask Commander Ling and His Royal Highness the County Lord to smile. ”

Lord Huanyu said with a smile: "Tianshan Snow Lotus and Millennium Lingzhi are treasures in the world, such a valuable gift-"

Halfway through the conversation, he was intercepted by Ling Yun. I only heard Ling Yun say lightly: "Ling Yun thanks the Hou Ye and the princess for their kindness." Hou Ye is an important minister in the court, and Ling Yun is the commander of the guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, and it is Ling Yun's duty to protect the safety of court officials, so why do you need to say thank you? Ling Yun never dared to accept such a heavy gift, so please ask Steward He to bring it back. ”

He Lu was stunned, "Commander Ling, this thousand-year-old Lingzhi and Tianshan Snow Lotus are treasures paid tribute by the envoys of the Western Regions, which are worth thousands of gold, and they are a great supplement to the body; Besides, the Hou Ye and the princess are sincere, if Commander Ling doesn't accept it-"

Huanyu also said: "Yes, Junma, Aunt Changqing and Uncle are sincere, let's accept it!" ”

Ling Yun's eyes were as cold as frost and said: "County Lord, don't say it, in short, I won't accept these things, if you like to keep them for yourself." ”

Huanyu saw that Ling Yun's tone was resolute, and there was no room for negotiation at all, knowing that his stubborn temperament was coming up again, so he had to sigh lightly and stop talking.

He Luwei was rejected bluntly by Ling Yun, and instantly felt extremely embarrassed, his face turned red, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Ling Yun glanced at him and said in a cold tone, "Does Steward He have anything else to do?" ”

After all, He Luwei is the housekeeper of the Hou Ye's Mansion, well-informed, experienced and capable; After a moment of embarrassment, he quickly came to his senses and remembered the purpose of his trip, so he coughed lightly, uncomfortably hiding the embarrassment on his face, and said with a dry smile: "When Commander Ling asked this, the little one suddenly remembered that there was something to ask Commander Ling!" ”

Ling Yun said expressionlessly: "What's the matter?" ”

He Luwei's deep gaze turned, looked at Huanyu and Yuzhu and the others next to him, and said in a somewhat tentative tone: "This matter was personally entrusted by the Hou Ye to the villain to consult Commander Ling, I'm afraid it's not convenient to talk about it here, I wonder if Commander Ling can take a step to speak?" ”

Ling Yun pursed his lips and said categorically: "No need, there are no outsiders here, if you have anything to say, please speak up!" ”

He Luwei saw that Ling Yun was in a posture of not entering, and said helplessly: "Okay, the little one is blunt." That's right, last time in the lobby of the Criminal Department—"

Saying that, he lowered his head and thought for a while, considered the tone and way of speaking, and said cautiously: "Commander Ling once told Hou Ye that he knew some news about the eldest prince of Hou Ye's Mansion; After the Hou Ye returned to the house last time, he thought about it again and again, and he couldn't let go of this matter, because there were many people in the lobby, and some things were inconvenient to ask, so he specially sent the villain over to ask for the specific situation. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, stood up and gave Ling Yun a deep look, and said earnestly: "Hou Ye's love for his son, the heart of his fist, is now in words; His sincere heart and earnest intentions can be deeply understood by those who want to be children, so the little one here implores Commander Ling to give advice on the relevant matters of the eldest son of the Hou Yefu. ”

It turned out that after He Yuting returned to the Hou Ye's Mansion from the lobby of the Criminal Department last time, he had been depressed and sad when he recalled the tedious and worrying things in the lobby.

While he was distraught, Princess Evergreen also came to him with a heavy heart.

Although Princess Evergreen only asks about the government and the opposition, she is well-informed, and many things in the court in the capital cannot be hidden from her ears.

On the same day, she learned from several attendants about Ge's complaint in the lobby of the Criminal Department, and couldn't help but be shocked.

What shocked her was not only the matter of Ge's accusation against He Yuting, but the earth-shattering things that were revealed from Ge's mouth - especially the fact that Li Ruiyun, the leader of the Tianxiao Gang, pretended to be the eldest prince of the Hou Yefu Mansion four years ago to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

After a long time, the boiling matter of the eldest prince of the Hou Ye's Mansion recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors turned out to be an oolong? In other words, the eldest prince of the Hou Ye Mansion who was assassinated a year ago is also fake, and the real Hou Ye Mansion eldest son may still be alive in this world!

Especially when Princess Evergreen heard from He Yuting that Ling Yun had inadvertently said something that was revealed: "Your son is not dead!" ......" was even more dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses and muttered to herself, "This ...... How can it be? And how did Ling Yun know about this? He...... He can't lie to you, right? ”

He Yuting's deep eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "No." From his abnormal mood at that time, I knew that he must know something about Lin'er; Moreover, he is the head of the guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, specializing in the investigation of various cases, and it is not surprising that he knows some unknown secrets! ”

Princess Evergreen nodded approvingly, "That's what I said." I'm going to go to the Junma Mansion and ask him about Lin'er! With that, he got up and walked out.

He Yuting hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her and said, "My princess, why are you acting so recklessly now!" I just occasionally heard Ling Yun say such a casual sentence in the lobby of the Criminal Department, and when I asked about the reason for the matter afterwards, he flickered and avoided talking about it; I can't figure out what's in it? If you go so recklessly, not only will it be rude, but I am afraid it will not solve any problems! ”

Princess Changqing's eyes sank and said, "Then what do you say you should do?" ”

He Yuting's eyebrows twisted, and he said quietly: "Otherwise, let the housekeeper go to the Junma Mansion to find Ling Yun to probe the wind first!" ”……

And so the previous scene happened.

Let's go back to He Luwei. After carefully expressing his intentions, he looked at Ling Yun with hopeful eyes, waiting for him to tell the unknown secrets of the eldest prince of the Hou Ye Mansion.

Ling Yun silently looked at the other party's eyes full of anticipation, and his heart felt as if he had been stabbed, and his heart ached to the bone. At that moment, the air around him seemed to be frozen, and only the echoes buzzed in his head.

Why, why, why does he always can't avoid these things that give him the most headaches and heartaches? The nurse Ge Shi is dead, no one should know about it anymore, and no one will bother with those things about the eldest prince of the Hou Ye Mansion anymore, right?

In order to escape those troubles and worries, he once tried to vent his suppressed emotions by indulging in his painful feelings; That's why there was a dry firewood between him and the lord of Huanyu, tender and sweet.

He knew that if he couldn't release the depression and depression in his chest in some way, he would go completely crazy!

Now his scarred heart has just gotten a little respite, but unexpectedly, He Luwei came to the door again and forced him to ask him about the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion!

At this point, he felt like he was really going to collapse.

He Luwei saw that Ling Yun's face was pale, and he didn't speak for a long time, and his original heart full of anticipation unconsciously precipitated little by little; However, he still didn't give up the last vestiges of his illusion, and whispered, "Commander Ling......"

Ling Yun slowly raised his cold and somewhat thin eyes, and said in a tone without any emotion: "If Steward He wants to find out the whereabouts of the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion, he should go to Lord He and Princess Evergreen; Today, he came here and asked me why I am an irrelevant person. ”

He Luwei smiled embarrassedly, and said resignedly: "But a few days ago, in the lobby of the Criminal Department, Commander Ling once told Hou Ye that the eldest prince of Hou Ye's Mansion is not dead—so Hou Ye and the younger one privately thought that Commander Ling should know something about the eldest prince......

Ling Yun's thin lips lifted a sneer, and he coldly threw out a few words from between his teeth: "I'm sorry, I don't know anything!" ……”

He Luwei wanted to say something more, but Ling Yun flicked his sleeves impatiently and said, "I'm sorry, I'm tired and have to rest—Yuzhu, help me send off guests!" ”

After that, he got up and left, leaving only an indifferent and lonely back.

He Luwei retreated, and said as he walked: "What is Qinggao? I don't know what the is ......."

Lord Huanyu was very puzzled by Ling Yun's behavior.

Back in Huanyun Pavilion, she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Junma, why are you doing this?" In order to save Lord He who was injured, it is reasonable for him to give you some gifts to express his gratitude, why don't you accept it? If you do this, what a shame for Lord He! If you don't accept gifts from others, instead of saying hello, they say that you have no one in your eyes and don't know what to do; Aunt Evergreen will also have an opinion about you. ”

Ling Yun said indifferently: "What they think of me, that's their business." Am I living for them? ”

Huanyu said again: "What about the matter of the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion?" How much do you know? If you say you don't know, why do they come to ask you? ”
