"What do you want to do again?" Huo Yunjue frowned slightly, a little confused.

"I want someone I can trust to deliver the news to Wei Zhaoyi."

Huo Yunjue paused in his movements and sighed.

"Ning Ziqing, you are really good. You have already hooked up with Wei Zhaoyi. With her status in the harem, it seems that she can't help you much, right?"

"Being able to use her proves that she is still valuable, otherwise why would I look for her." Ning Ziqing looked back and smiled.

After hearing her words, Huo Yunjue's eyes froze and his expression darkened. He suddenly stopped what he was doing, stared at Ning Ziqing for a while, and then asked: "What about me? In your eyes, I am worthy. Are you using it to the greatest value?”

His tone was slightly urgent, and he really wanted to know his status in Ning Ziqing's mind.

Ning Ziqing pondered for a moment, but did not answer his question directly, but said: "Your Highness, I advise you not to think too simply about the second prince. His ambition is greater than you think."

Her expression remained calm and collected, but there was a hint of worry in her tone.

When Huo Yunjue heard that Ning Ziqing mentioned the second prince again, his expression instantly turned gloomy.There was a flash of anger in his eyes, and he seemed to be very sensitive to this topic.

He suddenly asked: "What do you know, and why do you know him so well!" He was always worried about this matter in his heart, and wanted to know the relationship between Ning Ziqing and the second prince. He wanted to know more about Ning Ziqing and the second prince. Why did Ziqing hate the second prince so much.

"I can't tell you too much right now, because I'm not sure about many things." Ning Ziqing turned around and saw his sullen face, vaguely angry.

"Don't worry, since I choose to cooperate with you, I won't hide it from you. When I tell you, I will naturally tell you." She said softly.

"Are you cooperating with me just to deal with the second prince?" Huo Yunjue's eyes were dark, he clenched the wooden comb in his hand and stared at Ning Ziqing's face.

"Huo Yunjue, I'm not in the mood to talk to you about other things now. Please leave quickly." Ning Ziqing was a little angry and didn't want to continue discussing their relationship.She turned her back and ignored him.

After a long time, Huo Yunjue behind him silently placed the wooden comb in his hand on the dressing table, then took out a silver dagger from his arms and placed it on the table together with the jade whistle that Ning Ziqing had returned to him. .

"Ning Ziqing, I really don't like the way you look rational!" He said this coldly, then turned and left.

Ning Ziqing stared at his retreating black figure in the bronze mirror and sighed quietly.

As the night grew darker, the second prince Huo Yunhong rolled the corners of his red and swollen mouth with an egg. His eyes were full of anger. He resented the punch Huo Yunjue had given him tonight. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he threw it away in his hand. eggs and shouted at the door.

"Lu Heng!

"Your Highness, what are your orders?" Lu Heng walked in leisurely, waving his folding fan.

"I want the third lady of Ninghou Mansion, Ning Ziqing, to go and get this done for me." Huo Yunhong ordered coldly.

"But Miss Ning San, who has an astonishing dance in Chunri's eyes?" Lu Heng closed the folding fan, his expression slightly embarrassed.

"Isn't she engaged to Shichiro-kun? Your Highness, this is a bit overwhelming!"

"That's why His Highness asked you to do it. As a counselor, aren't you the one who advises His Highness? It's just an engagement, and there's no marriage. Why don't you just find any excuse for them to break off the engagement?"

Huo Yunhong snorted coldly and looked at Lu Heng with an increasingly gloomy look.Lu Heng's eyes trembled slightly, and then he cupped his hands and said, "I know, please rest assured, Your Highness, and I promise to get what you wish for."

"Step back!" Huo Yunhong waved his hand with satisfaction, signaling him to leave.

Lu Heng bowed and stepped back, then walked all the way back to his residence.He sat at the table, pouring tea and thinking about what Huo Yunhong had ordered tonight. He didn't notice that the tea had overflowed.

"Sir, the tea is full," the maid Sang Lan reminded.

Lu Heng came to his senses, quickly put down the teapot in his hand, and cleaned up the mess on the tea tray.

"Come here, slave!" Sang Lan took away the tea tray, poured him another cup of tea and handed it to him.

"What does His Highness want the young master to do again?" Sang Lan asked worriedly.

"It's not a big deal. He fell in love with a noble girl who was already engaged and asked me to find a way to get her over." Lu Heng took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"His Second Highness is acting more and more arrogantly, and I am not afraid that His Majesty will find out and punish him." As soon as Sang Lan finished speaking, Lu Heng glared at her fiercely, and Sang Lan immediately knelt down in fright.

"My lord, please forgive me, but I, my slave, should not have gone too far."

"Be careful what you say in the future. If I hear you talking about His Highness in private again, pack your bags and get out immediately!" Lu Heng slammed the teacup on the table. Sang Lan lowered her head and was so frightened that she didn't dare. out.

"When I know this, I will be careful in my words and deeds, and obey the master's teachings. I also ask the master not to drive me away."

"Get up, I'm going out tomorrow, you don't have to follow me." Lu Heng stood up and walked towards the dormitory with a cold expression.

"Yes, sir." Sang Lan stood up in shock, put away the teacup on the table and retreated.

Two days later, a man and a woman walked out of a carriage at the entrance of Carrot Alley in the west of the city. The man was wearing a light green round-neck robe, and the woman was wearing a white gauze hat. The two hurriedly walked into the door of a dilapidated house deep in the alley. .

"Are you sure this is here?" the man asked.

"You'll know if you go in and take a look." Ning Ziqing, who was under the veil, stretched out her hand and gently pushed the door, only to find that the door was locked from the inside and couldn't be pushed open.

"Stay away." Huo Yunjue, who was in green, pulled away from her, stepped forward and kicked the door open. Ning Ziqing silently complained in her heart that he was so rude.

The two walked in. The house was not spacious. There were only two rooms in total. One room outside was simply equipped with a round wooden table and a few stools, while the other room was a bedroom.

"Inside?" Ning Ziqing walked straight to the dormitory, with Huo Yunjue following her curiously.

"It doesn't seem to be anything special?" Huo Yunjue looked around the dormitory and found that the layout of the room was very simple, with only a bed and a desk, and a few calligraphy and paintings and a painting of a beauty hanging on the wall.

The woman in the painting is smiling beautifully, holding a book in her hand, standing under a peach tree in the courtyard and enjoying the peach blossoms leisurely, with a contented expression.

"Where are all the secrets?" Ning Ziqing took off the curtain and put it on the desk, then walked to the bed and squatted down, pulling out a large red wooden box from under the bed.

"Your Highness, please help open it." Ning Ziqing motioned for his help.

Huo Yunjue stepped forward and discovered that there was a lock on the wooden box. He pulled out the sword from his waist and easily opened the lock with one strike of his sword. Ning Ziqing opened the wooden box.Huo Yunjue came up to take a look, his expression was very surprised and confused.

"Tan Tang has such a strange hobby?"

"What do you know? Everyone has their own unique hobbies. Don't you, Your Highness?" Ning Ziqing closed the wooden box again, stood up and smiled at him.

"There really is one." Huo Yunjue leaned against the door holding his sword with a serious look on his face.

"Oh? What is it?" Ning Ziqing was very curious.

"I covet the beauty of the third lady. As long as I can't see the peerless beauty of the third lady, I will have trouble sleeping and eating, and I will feel uncomfortable all over. Is this a unique hobby?" Huo Yunjue joked with a raised eyebrow and a smile. Ning Ziqing's eyes were filled with deep love.

"It's full of nonsense." Ning Ziqing glanced at him, walked out, closed the door, and sat down in front of the round table.

"Let's just stay here, he will definitely come today." Ning Ziqing said firmly.

"Are you sure you can convince him?" Huo Yunjue asked seriously, holding his sword.

"I've got the handle, how can he still refuse to agree?" Ning Ziqing gave him a confident smile.

"The most poisonous heart of a woman!"

"Your Highness, do you regret cooperating with me?"

"Death under the peonies, it's cool to be a ghost." Huo Yunjue raised his eyes to look at her, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Ning Ziqing glanced at him coldly, wishing to sew his mouth shut.

Today, Tan Tang's eyelids kept twitching.After he came out of the Taishi Bureau, he looked around very cautiously and felt very uneasy in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to go home as soon as possible, but after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly stopped the carriage and told the boy to drive home alone, while he decided to walk to Carrot Lane.

After about a stick of incense, Tan Tang arrived at the entrance of Carrot Alley. At this time, the sky had darkened and there were no pedestrians in the alley.

Afraid of being recognized, he changed into casual clothes and cautiously walked to the dilapidated house in the alley.

Tan Tang looked at the door for a long time, and after making sure no one saw him, he took out a piece of wire from his sleeve, inserted it into the crack of the door, hooked it on the lock, and opened the door.

The moment he opened the door, someone grabbed his neck and dragged him in.

The door was closed again, a sharp sword was placed on his neck, and Tan Tang felt a cold touch.At this time, his heartbeat was very fast, his hands and feet began to tremble, and even his whole body was trembling.

"Hero... have mercy on me!" Tan Tang begged for mercy in fear in the darkness.

Huo Yunjue lit the oil lamp with a fire stick, and then Tan Tang could clearly see the two people in the room.

"Four...Fourth Highness, why are you here?" Tan Tang was shocked and opened his mouth.

"Shaojian Tan, my highness is here to talk to you about a deal today. If you cooperate, we will sit down and talk slowly. If you are unwilling to cooperate, my highness will first give Shaojian Tan a meeting gift. What do you think?" Huo Yunjue? As he spoke, he exerted some force on the sword in his hand.

Tan Tang felt a chill on his neck and replied without hesitation: "Cooperate, I am very willing to cooperate!"

"Please, Fourth Highness, please show mercy." Tan Tang carefully held the corner of Huo Yunjue's clothes and begged with a grimace.

"Sit over." Huo Yunjue retracted his sword and pushed him.

Tan Tang could only sit down obediently, then looked at Ning Ziqing opposite him with confusion, and asked, "Who is this girl?"

"I am Ning Ziqing, the third young lady of Ninghou Mansion. Mr. Tan has offended me a lot, so please don't take offense. I came to you today to ask for something?" Ning Ziqing nodded to him and apologized.

"Don't dare, don't dare. If the Fourth Highness and the Third Miss have something to do, just ask them. I will do my best and will never shirk the blame." Tan Tang waved his hands repeatedly and looked at the two people in panic.

"Young Master Tan didn't even ask what the matter was, and he agreed so readily." Huo Yunjue twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed.

Tan Tang was speechless for a moment, and then asked cautiously after being stunned for a long time.

"Then... may I ask, Your Highness, what is the matter?"
