Away from Anhou Mansion.

Backyard gazebo.

"Back to the Hou Ye, the people of the Lingyao Sword Sect attacked your shop that night, not because the lower officials did nothing, but because His Majesty issued a secret order, and no one in the court could interfere between you and the Lingyao Sword Sect, so the lower officials chose to watch."

"But Hou Ye can rest assured, I was really worried about Hou Ye at the time, and I also wanted to stand on Hou Ye's side, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and the lower officials can't help themselves!"

Luo Ping looked at Li Wuji and explained bitterly.

"Really?"

Li Wuji looked at Luo Ping and asked coldly, without a trace of expression on his face.

"Really! If the lower official has half a lie, the sky will thunder! ”

Luo Ping replied affirmatively.

"Don't! People who usually say this will not only curse on themselves, but they will also affect the innocent people around them! ”

Li Wuji hurriedly waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

Luo Ping hesitated for a moment, knelt on the ground, and didn't know how to end for a while.

"Alright, get up."

"Ben Hou has never blamed you."

Li Wuji was silent for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help but smile and said.

Luo Ping was stunned for a moment, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

As he spoke, Luo Ping slowly stood up, stood beside him with a cramped expression, and once again showed a flattering smile.

"Lord Luo is in the middle of the court, and sometimes he is indeed involuntarily, but there are some things, when necessary, Ben Hou still hopes that Lord Luo will understand how he should choose."

"You ought to know what a friend is and what an enemy is, you know?"

Li Wuji looked at Luo Ping, stared at the eyes that were rolling left and right, and said meaningfully.

"Xia Guan understands!"

Luo Ping's heart tightened, and he hurriedly replied, not daring to hesitate at all.

Li Wuji smiled, didn't say anything more, and poured a cup of tea for Luo Ping with his own hands.

Since he mastered Luo Ping's handle, the commander of one of the three major yamen in the capital has nothing to fear, but he rarely asks Luo Ping to do something other than his duties.

For some, it can only be enabled at the most critical moments.

"Childe."

At this moment, Cao Zi'an, who had already returned to the front yard, walked quickly to the backyard again, looking a little nervous.

"What's wrong?"

Li Wuji saw the clue and asked without thinking.

"His Royal Highness Taiqing has arrived!"

Cao Zi'an glanced at Luo Ping and replied softly.

Hearing Cao Zi'an's words, Luo Ping on the side couldn't help but change his face, revealing a trace of panic.

"Master Hou, since this is the case, the lower official will say goodbye first, and come back to visit another day."

Luo bowed and said nervously.

"Okay, let's go through the back door."

Li Wuji smiled, pointed in the direction of the back door, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

Luo Ping hurriedly agreed, and accompanied by Cao Zi'an, he quickly left the Hou Mansion through the back door.

As soon as Luo Ping walked with his front foot, he stepped into the backyard with his back foot from Jingyao, and showed a smile on his face from afar, and walked straight to the pavilion.

"I've seen Your Highness, and I've missed it, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Li Wuji hurriedly got up and greeted him, and bowed after a distance.

"Between you and me, why do you need so much courtesy?"

"The palace is idle in the palace, so I want to talk about your house and wander around, and relax."

Li Jingyao came quickly, and as she spoke, she reached out and helped Li Wuji up.

"In the future, if His Highness is bored, you can come at any time, and the door of the Hou Mansion will always be open to you."

Li Wuji said with a smile, and respectfully let Li Jingyao into the pavilion.

"Yo? Got guests? ”

Li Jingyao glanced at the cup of tea on the table that Luo Ping hadn't had time to drink, glanced around, and asked curiously.

"That's right, it's not long ago."

Li Wuji nodded and replied quietly.

"Who?"

"The person who can drink tea with his son is probably not a small person, right?"

Li Jingyao sat down and asked curiously, as if she was very concerned about the answer to this question.

"Commander of the Du Ying Guard, Lord Luo Pingluo."

Without the slightest hesitation, he almost blurted out.

Because he knew that if Li Jingyao wanted to know, he could find out with a check, and excessive cover-up would only attract suspicion.

"Oh? It seems that Gongzi and Commander Luo have a good personal relationship. ”

Li Jingyao nodded, said a word without pain, and did not ask anything.

But the deep meaning between the words is difficult to hear without anyone in it.

"I don't have any personal relationship, I just dealt with him a few times, and the last time I arrested Cheng Zifeng, the relationship was closer, that's all."

"He came today because when Yue Lingyao sent people to attack the shop a few days ago, the guards did not send a single soldier, did not arrest anyone, and did not investigate, so he went to the mansion today to explain to Zaixia."

Li Wuji removed the teacup and poured a new cup for Li Jingyao, saying slowly.

"Oh, I see."

Li Jingyao nodded, smiled and said.

"I heard that it was His Majesty's will, I believe that the Five Elements Division also received the same will, can Your Highness know about this?"

Li Wuji sat down slowly, looked at Li Jingyao, and asked with a smile, his tone was calm, and he couldn't see any fluctuations in his heart.

"I've heard about it, too."

"But the Japanese palace remembers that Tong Zhuo informed you, for you, for Yue Lingyao, Your Majesty is difficult to choose for a while, because you are all important people in Your Majesty and this palace, and whoever you lose is a loss to the imperial court."

"Fortunately, the two of you didn't get out of control, and the palace and His Majesty can also be relieved."

"I also hope you can understand the painstaking efforts of Your Majesty and the main palace."

Li Jingyao smiled awkwardly and explained slowly, with a faint apology between her words.

"Your Highness is serious, and I understand it in my heart."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

Li Wuji waved his hand and said with a smile.

"The battle of the Purple Maple Forest, the palace has already heard about it, but I didn't expect the prince to be invincible in the battle with Yue Lingyao, I don't know how many people in the capital were stunned."

"What everyone didn't expect was that you would actually be the personal disciple of the old man Wuji, and the future sect master of the Wuji Sect! Hongu has asked you about your origin more than once before, but you have been avoiding it, but I didn't expect to wait for Hongu here? ”

Li Jingyao looked at Li Wuji with an appreciative expression, revealing a look of flying eyebrows, as if she was very excited when she mentioned Wuji Sect.

"The origin of the identity is no different from the things outside the body, it is just a false name."

"The reason why I hid my identity was because I didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, and I hope that His Royal Highness will forgive me for not telling the truth at that time."

Li Wuji smiled embarrassedly and said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not too late to know!"

"But this palace is a little yearning, if he becomes the sect master of Wuji Sect in the future, what height can he lead Wuji Sect to, it is said that the blue is better than the blue, and I hope to see the son shine when the time comes."

"If that's really the case, as your friend, Hongu's face also shines!"

Li Jingyao looked at Li Wuji with deep meaning, and couldn't help but praise him.

Faced with the pull of Li Jingyao's words, Li Wuji couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to wave his hand again and again, pretending to be very modest.

"Come, today the palace will replace wine with tea, congratulations to the son!"

Li Jingyao said and picked up the teacup and said loudly.

"There is wine in the house, why replace it with tea?"

"Lao Cao, serve the wine!"

Li Wuji smiled, turned his head and shouted at Cao Zi'an, who was waiting not far away.

Cao Zi'an agreed, and immediately brought two jugs of wine.

Li Wuji also ordered Cao Zi'an to tell the kitchen to prepare dishes, leaving Jingyao to eat in the house.

It happened to be late at night, and it was time for dinner, so Li Jingyao happily agreed.

In fact, that's what she planned when she left the palace.

Now, she won't miss any opportunity to get closer to Wuji.

Not only Lijingyao, as Liwuji's status becomes more and more, the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital want to get acquainted, and people from Li'anhou Mansion come to visit almost every day and want to make friends with Liwuji.

But Li Wuji is a smart person, he generally chooses to avoid it, and the crime of forming a party, no matter which dynasty or generation, is a big crime, and he doesn't want to shoot himself in the foot.

Even if you really want to make friends with someone, you won't be so blatant.

After Li Jingyao had dinner, she stayed for a long time before saying goodbye to Li Wuji and leaving the Hou Mansion.

Li Wuji didn't wait for the empress to be embarrassed by the sword of the Son of Heaven, but waited for Li Jingyao's courtesy, which also made him more determined in his guess...
