Looking at the young man lying on the table, King Xiu and Kong Rui looked at each other, and shook their heads with a smile: "I didn't expect the amount of Xin Zhizhao to be so shallow." ”

Kong Rui stood up: "Thank you for your hospitality today, Your Royal Highness King Xiu." It's not too late, and it's just time for me to send Cousin Xin back. ”

Cousin Xin –

King Xiu listened to Kong Rui's address to Xin Yu, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Xin Zhizhao came to me as a guest, since the people from the palace sent him back, how can I bother my cousin." ”

"What's this, I was going to go back and send it off by the way." Kong Rui insisted.

"Then I'm going to bother my cousin."

personally sent the two out of the second gate, and saw Xin Yu and Kong Rui get into the same car, and then King Xiu turned around and walked back.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

The sky had just darkened, and the lights in the Xiuwang Mansion were bright.

Mr. Zhang, who walked beside King Xiu, was a staff member of the palace and a person who accompanied him at today's dinner.

Listening to King Xiu's question, Mr. Zhang pondered: "Xin Zhizhao seems to have no ill will towards His Royal Highness, so we have to observe what happens." However, the Marquis of Jing'an can see that he has some scruples about His Royal Highness, and seems to be worried that you will be unfavorable to Xin's edict. ”

King Xiu smiled: "It's normal for him to be worried." Since I was a child, I have heard that my aunt and the former queen's aunt and sister-in-law have a deep relationship, and my aunt loves the house and Wu, and Kong Rui is naturally the same. ”

In the light of the night, Mr. Zhang looked at the face of King Xiu Junyi and persuaded: "Your Highness, don't go to your heart, let alone show dissatisfaction with the edict of Xin Zhi. ”

"I know." The corners of King Xiu's mouth curled, "It's too late for me to get close to Xin Zhizhao, how can I be dissatisfied." ”

Mr. Zhang took a deep look at King Xiu, and he couldn't see through this prince who had been with him for many years.

In the carriage with the lantern of Xiuwangfu, Xin Yu leaned on Kong Rui, looking like he had drunk too much.

Kong Rui was quiet until the carriage stopped at the door of the imperial mansion, and then he spoke: "Cousin, it's here." ”

Xin Yu's eyelashes trembled, as if she was trying to open her eyes.

"Cousin—"

Just when Kong Rui was about to help the person down directly, Xin Yu opened his eyes: "Where is this?" ”

"It's in the carriage. You're already home, I'll help you down. ”

Kong Rui helped Xin Yu get out of the carriage, insisted on sending her into the courtyard, and said solemnly when saying goodbye: "Cousin, you drink a lot of wine, so you should drink less in the future." ”

"Oh." Xin Yu nodded vaguely.

Kong Rui saw that she was still not sober, and knew that it was useless to talk too much, so he told the people in the house a few words before leaving.

Xin Yu entered the room, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes.

Today's meeting with Lord He is about to miss the appointment.

Naturally, she wasn't drunk, but there was no one of her own in this house, so it was a bit risky to go out quietly.

Fortunately, there must be someone on Lord He's side who is watching here, and will grasp the reason why she didn't go.

He Qingxiao not only quickly received the news that Xin Zhizhao was drunk in Xiuwang's Mansion, but also reported it when Emperor Xingyuan inquired about it on the other day.

Emperor Xingyuan twisted his eyebrows slightly.

If you drink alcohol, why are you still drunk?

"I know, go get busy."

"Wechen retired."

He Qingxiao left the palace, and on the road, a subordinate in civilian clothes came down to report: "My lord, Xin Zhizhao went to Jifeather Street......"

This day is the tenth day of the sixth month, the day of the official's rest.

He Qingxiao nodded slightly, signaling that he understood, and his subordinates quietly retreated.

Chicken Feather Street is a little far away from the imperial city, and it is a mixed place. Xin Yu walked very freely in this kind of fireworks market, strolling around and stopping until he noticed that someone was deliberately approaching.

She looked sideways.

A man in a hat and a green coat was just one step away from her.

Xin Yu recognized it at a glance: "Lord He." ”

"Let's go talk over there."

It was a small and inconspicuous shop, selling incense, candles, cinnabar and other things, and the keeper of the shop was an elderly woman.

He Qingxiao walked into the store and took off the hat, and the dim and cold shop suddenly shone brightly.

After entering the inner room and sitting down, Xin Yu said: "No wonder Lord He wants to wear a hat when he comes to such a place." ”

From childhood to adulthood, He Qingxiao has heard praise about her appearance many times, and she has long been indifferent to it, but at this time, she listened to Xin Yu's ridicule but her face was inexplicably hot.

There was only a bowl of coarse tea in front of him, he took a sip of it, and his face returned to normal: "Can you still adapt to the two days of hard waiting?" ”

Xin Yu pulled his sleeves and said with a smile: "It's very adaptable." ”

This is what she is used to.

He Qingxiao couldn't help but glance at Xin Yu carefully.

He couldn't help but worry that her disguised as a man would reveal flaws, so he couldn't help but confirm it again and again.

Fortunately, there is no problem with words and deeds, and fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers are everywhere who are delicate and thin, and they have no Adam's apple beard.

He Qingxiao's heart was settled, and he talked about business: "After these days of investigation, a young man named Dongsheng in the Beijing official has found three people. ”

"Three?" Despite receiving He Qingxiao's note, Xin Yu had guessed that there might be progress, but this progress was still somewhat unexpected.

He Qingxiao's next words surprised her even more: "Among these three people, you have seen two. ”

"Lord He, say it quickly."

He Qingxiao paused.

"Lord He?" Xin Yu was puzzled.

He Qingxiao took another sip of tea, drank a little urgently, and couldn't help coughing.

Xin Yu silently handed over a handkerchief.

He Qingxiao hesitated for a moment, and when he met the pair of black and white eyes, the ghost messenger took the handkerchief.

"I'm sorry." He wiped the corner of his lips, and it was difficult to return the soiled handkerchief, so he had to put his face in his sleeve without changing his color.

Xin Yu's attention was all on the identity of "Dongsheng": "Lord He, who are those two people I have seen?" ”

"One is He Yushi."

"He Yushi?" Xin Yu was stunned.

He Yushi is famous for his uprightness, and although he got along with He Qingxiao for many days on a trip to Dingbei, he has always kept his distance.

He Qingxiao mentioned He Yushi, and his expression was a little strange: "Recently, He Yushi often goes to Qingsong Bookstore. ”

"What is He Yushi doing in the bookstore?"

"Read the book-" He Qingxiao thought of his subordinates' reports, and his expression became more complicated, "He Yushi will go to Qingsong Bookstore to read his travelogues for a while after he goes to the office." ”

After hearing this, Xin Yu glanced at He Qingxiao deeply, and asked seriously: "Lord He, what do you think He Yushi means?" ”

He Qingxiao: "......" He knew it would be like this.

He often goes to Qingsong Bookstore to read travelogues, because he likes this kind of books, and he can't stand every single one he buys back, and He Yushi - oh, He Yushi is also very poor.

After reacting, He Qingxiao was silent, and firmly believed that He Yushi was different from him: "He Yushi didn't seem to have a hobby of reading travelogues before, and there must be a reason for the sudden change, and it may be clear if you pay attention to it again." ”

Xin Yu nodded: "Later, I will change back to the identity of Miss Kou and go to Qingsong Bookstore and ask the shopkeeper Hu." Who is that other person? ”

"The other is a colleague of Xin Zhizhao, painting and waiting for Zhao."

Painting to be edicted?

From the strange picture he saw, it was inferred that the painting was about to change his appearance, and Xin Yu was already interested in this person, but now when he heard it, his heart moved fiercely.
