When Lin Xiuyi came back, her face was a little gloomy.

A trip to the palace today can be regarded as throwing her self-esteem on the ground and crushing.

But after thinking about it, the queen would treat her like this, or because she didn't like Murong Yao.

So in the end, it is still necessary to gain Murong Yao's favor.

"Princess, you just dumped the little county lord and came back, and when you see King Rui, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain."

The maid beside Lin Xiuyi was a little worried.

Lin Xiuyi glanced at her.

"Who said I threw Leng Ruqing back? Obviously, she didn't know where to go, and I waited for a long time to see no one before coming back first. ”

"Yes, it's all the little county lord running around by himself."

Zhiya immediately responded.

The two walked into the mansion, and Lin Xiuyi found the housekeeper: "Where is the prince?" ”

"Back to the princess, the princess is out, and he should be back soon."

"I see."

A hint of contemplation flashed in Lin Xiuyi's eyes, and she turned to leave.

……

When Murong Yao returned home, Qingjun's handsome face was slightly gloomy.

Murong Heng's business in the Medicine King Valley was completely monopolized, and the soldiers he secretly cultivated heard the news somewhere, saying that Prince Rong's wealth channels had been intercepted, and the treatment of the soldiers would deteriorate in the future, which caused a lot of suspicion for a while.

The generals below were bold enough to even come over and ask what was going on.

Except for Su Sheng's loyal North Vietnamese Army, the other corps followed halfway, and several generals were once outlaws, coming for the word "profit".

When I saw the master behind the scenes for the first time today, I found that it was actually a boy who had just turned sixteen, and the surprise and disdain in the eyes of some of them were overflowing.

So Murong Yao held a thinned sword and killed a leader who was disrespectful to him in public.

The sharp blade slashed across the opponent's neck, and blood splattered onto his white jade-like face, his pupils flickering slightly.

It's not fear, it's excitement.

The pungent smell of blood irritated his nerves and made his eyes go wild.

At that moment, everyone fell silent.

Murong Yao walked into the mansion, went straight to the main house in the backyard, asked people to prepare a wooden barrel, rinsed off the faint smell of blood on his body, and changed into a moon-white regular clothes and went to the study.

He originally looked like a jade tree in the wind, and now wearing this clothes, he looks as long as jade and has a noble temperament.

When Lin Xiuyi came in with the soup, she saw Murong Yao sitting in the room, fiddling with the chessboard on the table.

The slender fingers are pressed on the white jade chess pieces, and the bone joints are well-proportioned, which is very beautiful.

Her heart tightened slightly.

"Lord Wang."

Murong Yao glanced at her slightly, and there was no wave in his eyes.

Instead, he spoke.

"Did you and Ruqing go to visit the queen mother?"

"Yes."

"How is she?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiuyi's face was slightly uncomfortable.

She hadn't even seen the queen's face, so she didn't know what was going on.

"The queen mother is not seriously ill, and she said that she needs to recuperate."

Lin Xiuyi approached him, and then put the soup in her hand on the table: "Lord Wang, this is the nourishing soup stewed for you by the concubine herself, it's cold, you drink a little to warm your body." ”

As she spoke, she lifted the lid and spooned a bowl.

was cautiously brought to Murong Yao's face, but suddenly met his eyes.

The pair of black pupils looked at her faintly, with a strong sense of scrutiny in their eyes.

Lin Xiuyi's hand shook subconsciously.

Some of the soup spilled out in an instant, and a few drops of it splashed on the back of Murong Yao's hand.

He furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure.

"Lord, I'm sorry."

Lin Xiuyi put down the soup in a little panic, then knelt on the ground, took out a handkerchief and pulled Murong Yao's splashed hand over, and carefully wiped the soup on the back of his hand.

"I'm fine."

Murong Yao withdrew his hand, spoke slowly, and then looked thoughtfully at the woman kneeling on the ground, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes quietly.

"But...... Lin Xiuyi, what are you doing here? ”

Suddenly so attentive to him, so diligent that it was a little humble.

Lin Xiuyi's long eyelashes trembled, and then she slowly raised her head and looked at him.

She is very beautiful.

At this moment, he raised his eyes with some grievances, with a bit of expectation and apprehension in his eyes.

"Lord, the concubine knows that she is wrong...... Before, I didn't care enough about the prince, but now I understand that the prince is the dragon and phoenix among people, the husband of the concubine, and the concubine's reliance for the rest of his life. ”

Murong Yao's eyes shone slightly, and he suddenly felt a little funny.

He stretched out his slender fingers and held Lin Xiuyi's eyes, making her raise her head and meet his gaze.

Her eyes twinkled, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

He narrowed.

This is one of the so-called "Beijing Shuangshu", the so-called first noble girl.

He originally thought that Lin Xiuyi liked Murong Heng wholeheartedly, but now that he was given it, he might have a little unyielding backbone.

That would be a bit more interesting to him.

Who knew it was such a humble beggar.

Even with this beautiful face, it was a little overshadowed.

"Murong Yao!"

There was a sudden call outside the door, and then the door of the study was opened, and Leng Ruqing suddenly appeared at the door.

She stepped into the door of the study and saw Murong Yao sitting behind the table, with a hint of joy on her face.

I was about to speak, but I noticed that something was wrong.

In the study, he was not alone.

Murong Yao sat on the Taishi chair with a straight posture, while Lin Xiuyi knelt in front of him, looking up at him with affection.

Murong Yao's fingers were slightly hooking her chin.

The posture is extremely ambiguous.

Leng Ruqing only felt that a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and the expression on his face instantly turned cold.

"What are you doing?"

Murong Yao slowly withdrew his fingers and looked at the woman at the door.

"Before you go into the study, you should knock on the door."

"Yes, it was my negligence that I didn't knock on the door before I came in, and I disturbed your good deeds."

Leng Ruqing's voice was full of anger, which instantly made Murong Yao twist his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't like her being so presumptuous.

Murong Yao said.

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

"It's fine!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiuyi, who was originally kneeling on the ground, slowly got up and showed a faint smile at her.

"It's a bit unfortunate that Sister Ruqing came, I have something to say with the prince, if it's okay, I'll bother my sister to leave first."

Leng Ruqing was silent for a moment, and then pulled out a sneer.

"Okay, I'll go."

She turned slowly and walked outside.

Lin Xiuyi looked at her back, and her heart was indescribably happy.

However, in the next second, Leng Ruqing turned his head back again.

She approached straight towards Lin Xiuyi.

Lin Xiuyi was frightened by her momentum.

"What are you doing......

"You deliberately left me alone in the palace to come back early, I haven't asked you yet! Lin Xiuyi, I'm sorry, I'm a person, I've always been retribution! ”

Leng Ruqing snorted coldly, and then suddenly grabbed Lin Xiuyi's neck and threw her to the ground.

Then he jerked out the whip beside him.

"You yin me once, I'll whip you, it's not too much, right?"

As she spoke, Leng Ruqing stretched out her hand and raised her whip, and was about to whip it towards her.

"Ahh

Lin Xiuyi screamed.

However, the whip did not fall on her.

Leng Ruqing's wrist was tightly held by a slender and powerful finger.
