male princess
Chapter 40
, feeling the person in his arms tremble, reached out and patted Mo Xuan's back, hugging him even tighter.
Liu Wanyi has been pregnant for more than six months, and it's cold, so she stays indoors all day, too lazy to move.Maybe because of her pregnancy, she has been a little irritable recently. She doesn't lose her temper and be arrogant, she just frowns sullenly and doesn't like to talk
If you talk, you don't like to talk to people.Her appetite isn't very good either, she doesn't pick or complain, she eats more if she wants to eat, and eats less when she doesn't like it.
At this moment, Liu Wanyi frowned slightly as she looked at the food served by the girl and mother-in-law. She picked up the chopsticks and didn't pick up the food for a long time.
"Second Imperial Concubine, is it not to your liking? Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll let the kitchen cook it." Seeing Liu Wanyi's expression, Xiao Lian asked quickly.
Liu Wanyi shook her head: "I've done so much hard work in the kitchen, so there's no need to be troublesome. Besides, it's the same for everything I do. I always have no appetite recently." She said, gently stroking her bulging belly with her little hand, "Second Prince What? Haven’t come back yet?”
"Yes, I said I went to visit General Qi, I should be back soon," Xiaolian put two light and refreshing dishes in front of her: "Your body is important, you should eat some."
Liu Wanyi reluctantly ate a little bit and asked someone to remove her. She took a hand warmer and sat back on the soft couch to read a book, but she couldn't calm down no matter what.
"Yi'er." As soon as Xi Haoting came in, he went to the charcoal stove to warm up first, and then walked over after the cold air on his body dissipated.He held Liu Wanyi's hand, and asked in a gentle voice: "Didn't eat well? Tell me if there is anything you want to eat, and I'll ask someone to get it."
Liu Wanyi lowered her head and remained silent.
The warm smile on Xi Haoting's face faded away, replaced by an anxious one: "What's wrong? Yi'er? Are you feeling unwell? Is there something else on your mind?"
Liu Wanyi shook her head, and approached Xi Haoting's arms: "Hao Ting, I don't know what's wrong with Yi'er, has Yi'er changed, become bad, has a big temper, is picky about eating, and doesn't want to talk."
Xi Haoting smiled softly, and used her gently and carefully: "Hehe, Yi'er is the best. Didn't the imperial doctor say it? This is a normal reaction, don't let wild thoughts, or it will affect the baby." Saying, Xi Haoting let go of Liu Wanyi, took her hands and put them to his lips: "It's because I haven't been with you well these two days, which made Yi'er feel uneasy. There will be nothing else to do next, and I even brought you delicious food , I will bring it when Xiaolian is finished washing."
Liu Wanyi's brows stretched, she became more and more dependent on Xi Haoting, seeing him as if all troubles had disappeared, thinking of this, her face turned red.
After a while, Xiao Lian came over with a plate of washed grapes and put them on the small table.Liu Wanyi was surprised: "How can there be grapes in such a cold day?"
"Hehe, I've lost a lot of energy." Xi Haoting smiled, and personally handed one to her mouth: "Let's put it in the room for a while, it's not so cold, but don't eat too much, eat a few There's a taste in your mouth."
Liu Wanyi opened her small mouth and ate it, then smiled with satisfaction: "Sweet and sour."
"It's fine if you like it, but you can only eat a few, I'm afraid you will get cold." Xi Haoting said, and peeled another one for her.
Liu Wanyi nodded obediently, her heart was extremely sweet.Since she became pregnant, Xi Haoting has done many things
She did everything by herself, and she tried to stay by her side as much as possible. She was meticulous, caring, thoughtful, and asked the imperial doctor about things that needed attention from time to time.Originally, it was the first time for her to experience these things, so it was inevitable that she felt uneasy, and she didn't understand many things very well, but Xi Haoting always made her feel at ease.
Liu Wanyi ate a few grapes, whetted her appetite, and ate another piece of snack, her energy improved a lot.Xi Haoting sat beside her, and put his big hand gently on her swollen belly: "The weather is too cold, you can go out for a walk when spring opens, Yier bear with it for a while." Xi Haoting said softly, suddenly , he raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up: "Oh, Yi'er, he moved."
Xi Haoting's face was filled with surprise and curiosity, he couldn't help lowering his head to get close to Liu Wanyi's stomach, and carefully placed his face on it: "Yi'er, the baby just moved, hehe, he must be missing Daddy."
"How could he know this?" Liu Wanyi chuckled, reaching out to caress Xi Haoting's cheek.
Xi Haoting said softly: "It's true. I heard from an experienced mother-in-law that he can hear us talking. You should talk to him more in the future, hehehe."
Liu Wanyi's eyes were softer. When it came to the baby, Xi Haoting was like a big child, excited and happy, and she was also infected.
Xi Haoting's heart was soft, and he didn't want to lock people in the room all day, one reason was that it was too cold now, Liu Wanyi's body was delicate, and the other reason was that he was a little worried.Ever since Liu Wanyi became pregnant, he had thoroughly checked and sorted out his whole house, and personally selected his confidants to take care of Liu Wanyi. Guard her all the time.
For the past six months, everything seemed to be going smoothly until General Qi became poisoned a few days ago.But the more this happened, the more worried he became.
"Hao Ting, what do you think our child's name is?" Liu Wanyi's soft voice brought Xi Hao Ting back to his thoughts.
Xi Haoting looked down at her dotingly, and gently squeezed her small pointed chin: "Father will give him a name, um, but we can give him a nickname."
"Little name, um!" Liu Wanyi listened and began to think seriously.
Seeing her cute appearance, Xi Haoting couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth again, "No hurry, we still have a few months to think about it."
General Qi's body gradually improved under Shuranye's treatment, and he finally woke up on New Year's Eve, but the poison was deep and accumulated for too long. Although he woke up, he could only eat and drink, and he was still lying on the bed. Can't say yet.Even so, it made everyone in the mansion feel at ease, thinking that the general will be able to live like a dragon and tiger like before.
Shu Ranye has been haggard for the past month. During the day, he has to personally prepare and decoct medicines for General Qi, and adjust the dosage of each medicine according to the degree of body recovery and the degree of toxin retention every day. At night, Qi Tianhong tortures him, watching Qi Tianhong Don't you worry about this time?
Already, at first he followed him because of his distress, but later he had to keep a straight face.
This day, he prepared the medicine and ordered someone to give it to General Qi. He took advantage of some free time to go to Dinghui Prince's Mansion. He was afraid that when he went back to his residence in the General's Mansion, he would be entangled by Qi Tianhong again. Dad pretended to be pitiful, but he tossed Shuranye and ruined it.Shu Ranye thought, he can no longer indulge him.
☆, hot springs
Zhi Luo originally thought that the New Year here would be very lively, fresh and fun. There was no difference between the past and the past, but now it is naturally different.I wanted to go out and have a good time, but Xi Yincang told him that he was going to have a banquet in the palace, so he suddenly went down again.What's the point of entertaining in the palace? It's better to stay at home by yourself.
Zhi Luo was feeling a little dejected, nestled in the room, Fat Tuan'er drank milk and was taken to take a nap by the nanny.Xi Yincang looked at his listless look, and sat aside to coax him: "After the new year, and the entertainment in the palace is over, I'll take you to a hot spring in another courtyard in the suburbs, okay, and then we will come back on the fifteenth day. There will be a lantern festival, so it will be fun."
"Soak in the hot spring?" Zhi Luo raised his head and became excited again. He leaned on Xi Yincang's body: "Okay, I haven't soaked in it yet. But what about Fat Tuaner?"
"Well, Fat Tuan'er is too young, let's stay in the mansion, with the old lady and nurse here, it will be fine." Xi Yincang said with a smile.
Zhi Luo thought for a while, but still hesitated: "But, I'm afraid I won't feel relieved, since I got Fat Tuan'er, I haven't left yet."
Xi Yincang shook his head, rubbed his head, and said helplessly: "Okay, let's go together, take the nanny, take care of it, be careful, it shouldn't be cold."
When Zhi Luo heard this, he became happy. He raised his head and licked the corner of Xi Yincang's lips: "Yincang, you are the best."
The two of them were getting bored, Shuranye lifted the curtain and came in, and Jiyue looked helpless behind her.Xi Yincang looked at him the same way, signaling to Jiyue that it's okay, and Jiyue then backed down.
Shu Ranye was not too polite, took off his shoes and sat directly at the small table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
Zhi Luo looked at him curiously and asked: "Doctor Shu, who provoked you, why is your face so dark?"
Shu Ranye rubbed his forehead, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
"Is General Qi's poison so powerful? Is it not easy to deal with?" Zhi Luo couldn't help feeling a little worried when he heard that. He heard from Xi Yincang that if General Qi had something to do, the issue of military power would be a bit troublesome.
Xi Yincang raised his eyebrows lightly, with a playful expression on his face: "Why is he tired because of this, Luo'er, don't worry about him."
Shuranye glared at Xi Yincang angrily, but didn't know how to explain it, so he hummed and drank another cup of tea.
Zhi Ziluo was still puzzled, Xi Yincang leaned close to his ear and whispered something, Zhi Luo's eyes lit up, peeking, and sure enough, the pink marks on Shu Ranye's neck were faintly visible under the collar.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that dead fox to be so ignorant of restraint." Zhi Luo grinned, gossiping.
Shu Ranye's face was a little embarrassing, coughed twice, and squinted at Zhi Luo: "Hmph, how dare you laugh at me."
"Ye, how long will it take for General Qi to fully recover?" Xi Yincang stopped laughing and asked in a low voice.
Shu Ranye frowned: "This poison has been applied long ago, chronic poison,
It has been accumulating in the body, and once it occurs, it is more troublesome than other poisons.If Hong'er hadn't been given the antidote pill before, he might not be able to save her. "Shu Ranye regained his composure, and then said: "The toxin is almost cleared up, and the person is awake, but if he wants to return to normal, it depends on the general himself besides my recuperation and treatment. "
Xi Yincang nodded: "General Qi has a resolute character, so there is nothing wrong with him. I don't think he will recover in a long time."
"Senior brother, you know that I have never asked about those political matters, but now I am a little worried, if General Qi has something to do, will Hong'er be involved." Shu Ranye's usually unruly face was faintly worried.
"Although Qi Tianhong is the son of a general, he has not been an official in the court and has no military position, so you don't have to worry." Xi Yincang comforted.
Zhi Luo looked at him, pursed her lips and said nothing, if someone really wanted to make a move, how could Qi Tianhong not be implicated.
Shu Ranye sat for a while and then left.
Zhi Luo took the red bean cake to eat, and asked while eating: "If General Qi has something to do, who will take over the position of General Right?"
"Now the third prince strongly recommends the deputy general Song Tao. Song Tao is calm and introverted. He is quite a man of the city, but he is also a general." Xi Yincang poured tea for Zhiluo and said, "It's just that I didn't notice Song Tao before. He is actually the third prince's person, but apart from him, there are others who are more suitable, but their positions are not as high as Song Tao's, and someone in the court will be dissatisfied in promoting others by surpassing him."
"Being an emperor is hard enough, hey." Zhi Luo clicked his lips and took a sip of hot tea: "Look how much older the emperor is than the old man, just looks like he is more than ten years older."
"The emperor's body is indeed not as good as before." Xi Yincang sighed.
Zhi Luo followed Xi Yincang into the palace for a few banquets, passed the year in a daze, which made her quite tired.After the fifth day of the lunar new year, Xi Yincang took people to another courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
The other courtyard is not as big as the palace, but it is exquisite and elegant, and there is a natural open-air hot spring in the back, Zhiluo likes it very much.
Because of the cold weather, Zhi Luo thought about it, and let the nanny stay in the room with Fat Tuan'er.He changed his robe, wrapped it in a thick dark blue fox fur coat, and walked towards the backyard on the thin snow that had not yet melted on the road.Under the moonlight, the gray and white fluff on the fox fur hat set off his white face, as if coated with a layer of soft light, the hot spring was filled with water vapor, like a dream, Zhi Luo quickly took off his clothes, raised his foot and stepped After entering, the warm spring water wrapped her whole body, and Zhi Luo sighed comfortably, leaning against the smooth stone beside her.
Zhi Luo raised her head slightly, the moonlight was like water, reflecting his jade-like skin, only his face and outline could be vaguely seen from the misty mist in the distance.
At this time, there was a slight voice, and Zhi Luo opened his eyes, thinking that Xi Yincang must have ordered everything to come and look for him, but he didn't see anyone.Zhi Luo frowned slightly, since she learned lightness kung fu from Chu Jiangyuan, she became a little strange again.
With the strength of his internal strength, his eyes and ears have also become sharper.
"Yin Cang, is that you?" Zhi Luo spoke softly, but there was no sound at this time.Just when Zhi Luo thought that he had heard it wrong, suddenly, Mo Ming's hairs stood on end.Zhi Luo stretched out his hand and pushed on the stone, his body was like a swallow, he turned around swiftly, causing a splash of water, he had reached the shore in the blink of an eye, and wrapped the fox fur around his body with a huff.
"Who?" Zhi Luo's heart was beating wildly, nervously looking at the dark place behind the rockery.
Suddenly, with a bang, a dark mark shot straight towards Zhiluo, and at the same time, a black figure sprang out from the dark place and jumped in the opposite direction. Everything was just in the blink of an eye.
Zhiluo's feet moved continuously, and he hurriedly backed away, the dart was still an inch away from him, and its strength remained undiminished.Zhi Luo gritted her teeth, retreated unabated, exerted force on her waist, bent her whole body backward, the dart brushed past him, and nailed it to the tree trunk with a bang.
At this time, a figure jumped up and chased after the fleeing person.Zhi Luo saw that it was Han Ye, so he lay down on the ground, stretched out his hand and patted his chest, this was the first time he used the kung fu he had learned, and he was still somewhat embarrassed.
"Luo'er!" Zhi Luo hadn't even caught her breath when she suddenly spun around and was picked up by someone.Xi Yincang's eyes were filled with anxiety and fear, and he stared at him with fixed eyebrows, his hands shaking for a while.
Zhi Luo suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He was in a hurry just now and only wrapped up his fox fur coat, but now he was shaken by Xi Yincang, and they all scattered.He hastily stretched out his hand and tugged, but he was still naked inside.
"Yincang, calm down, I'm fine." Zhi Luo stretched out his hand to touch Xi Yincang's picturesque handsome face, and comforted him.
Xi Yincang stretched out his hand and brushed off the fox fur wrapped in Zhiluo, quickly glanced up and down, and wrapped him tightly again, and then said: "Scared me to death, hey! Why don't you wait for me."
The corner of Zhi Luo's mouth twitched: "Let's go back to the room first, it's so cold."
Xi Yincang nodded, and quickly carried Zhiluo back into the house, put him on the bed and wrapped him in a quilt, he was still afraid, and hugged him tightly and didn't let go.
Zhi Luo had no choice but to let him: "Okay, I'm not doing well, you think I'm a fool with the master, you see, this will be effective."
"You're still proud, I'm scared out of my heart by you." Xi Yincang complained, his pretty brows congealed into knots: "How come someone assassinated me just after I came here. Han Ye didn't catch anyone, saying look at the hidden weapon , I haven’t seen it before, it doesn’t look like it’s here.”
"It's not from here? Where is it from?" Zhi Luo was a little surprised: "From another country?"
Xi Yincang nodded: "Like, but, it's impossible for you to offend someone from another country?"
"I didn't feel a strong killing intent. At that time, I just had a strong feeling of being peeped, and I got goosebumps all over my body. I guess that person didn't expect to be discovered by me, so I threw a dart and ran away. "Zhi Luo thought for a while and said: "But, it can't be as simple as just a peeping tom."
"peep
?Overwhelmed? "Xi Yincang asked suddenly.
Zhi Luo rolled her eyes: "No, there's a lot of water vapor there, and I'm so powerful now, I noticed it right away."
Xi Yincang knocked on his head angrily: "Idiot, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will see you as a man and be taken advantage of. It's fine if you don't see it. I'll send someone to investigate and strengthen the guards. It's all right."
Zhi Luo's knocked head shrank into the quilt, and asked again: "Could it be sent by the third prince?"
"It's not like, he missed a few times, it seems that he has changed his strategy, and he will not take action against the palace easily." Xi Yincang pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, I will send someone to investigate this matter Yes, I took you out to relax, I don’t want to do this. Change into clothes when it’s warmer, and we’ll eat hot pot. Don’t waste your time today.”
Zhi Luo's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Okay, okay, this kind of weather is the most suitable, hahaha, I like it. Go and bring me the clothes."
Seeing his happy look, Xi Yincang smiled, got up and went to fetch his clothes.He likes Zhiluo's point, no matter what happens, he is rarely depressed, and he doesn't know whether to call him optimistic or careless.
☆, tracking
Eating hot pot in winter is the most beautiful thing. Zhi Luo looked at the tumbling meat slices in the copper pot, gurgling, frozen tofu, various vegetables, mushrooms, prawns, meatballs... He has long since thrown away the matter just now. When I arrived at Cloud Nine, I was so happy to suck and eat.
In the outside room, Cui'er Jiyue is like the wind, Qingyang and cold night, and Artai also surrounded a large table, or Zhiluo specially asked Jiyue to call Artai, several people also know Zhiluo's temperament, and also You don't have to go to serve, you are not restrained, and the food is lively.In the past when they were in front of Xi Yincang, no matter what, they were restrained, but now this kind of thing just depends on Zhi Luo's face, as long as the princess is happy, the prince will not say anything, but they are much more at ease and have received a lot of benefits.
Zhi Luo raised her head and took a sip of the wine, then slapped, with a satisfied face, a thin layer of sweat broke out from her head, and her face was also red from the smoke.
Xi Yincang showed affection and affection, and wiped Zhiluo's sweat with a handkerchief: "Have you eaten yet?"
"I'm so full. It's so warm and satisfying." Zhi Luo leaned back and rubbed her stomach.Still so comfortable and comfortable, going to the palace to have a banquet, not only have to put on a show, but also restrained in speaking, suffocating to death.
Zhiluo was full and was stunned for a while, when Cui'er came in and cleaned up the things on the table.Zhiluo is a little strange, usually the little girl chatters, and the young lady keeps talking, why is it so quiet today, is it because Artest is here, and she is shy.Zhi Luo chuckled, wanting to tease her, looked at Cui'er, but found that the little girl was pouted, her face was full of anger.
Tweety has served Zhiluo since she was a child, and Zhiluo has always regarded her as her younger sister. Seeing Tweety like this, she quickly stretched out her hand and pulled her in front of her: "What's the matter? , can hang a small oil bottle."
"I, I'm fine." Cui'er pursed her mouth, her eye circles were a little red, but she still insisted: "Miss, I'll cut some fruits for you, so that you don't get too tired after eating so much meat."
Zhi Luo tugged at her sleeve and asked without letting go: "You still say it's okay? Everything is written on your face. Tell me, did Artest bully you?"
When Tweet heard this, her eyes became wet, she bit her lip and lowered her head without speaking.When Zhi Luo saw it, he felt a little at a loss, thinking that he must have gotten into an awkward situation with Artest, seeing Tweeter's aggrieved appearance, he couldn't help being a bit angry as an older brother and master.But it's not easy for him to ask too much about the relationship between these two people. After all, how can outsiders figure out the mind of the person involved in such a matter.
Zhi Luo was in a dilemma, Xi Yincang said: "A Tai, come in."
Immediately, Artest came in from the door, took a peek at Tweety, and stood respectfully aside.Xi Yincang looked at the two of them and asked, "What's going on?"
Artest scratched his head, a little anxious: "I, I don't know." He said and looked at Tweety cautiously.Zhi Luo frowned and also looked at Cui'er with questioning eyes.Tweety stomped her feet, raised her hand to wipe her face and ran out.
"Eh? Well, Jiyue, hurry up and follow
Look at this little girl. "Zhi Luo stood up, gave instructions to the outside, walked to Artai's side and asked: "Atai, what are you doing?"To make Tweety so sad? "
Artest's face was even more anxious, he wanted to chase after him, but he didn't dare to go out without orders, he also looked aggrieved when he heard Zhi Luo's question: "Princess, I really didn't do anything, I, how could I be willing to bully her?" .”
At this time, Rufeng and Qingyang poked their heads out from the curtain: "My lord, my concubine."
Xi Yincang supported his chin with one hand, looked at Artest, couldn't help smiling, and said to the two people outside the door: "It's becoming more and more unruly, you can rely on the princess to spoil you."
When Qingyang and Rufeng heard this, they hurried in and stood up respectfully and returned: "I dare not." Qingyang restrained his expression and looked serious: "Go back to the prince and concubine, the reason Cui'er is angry is because Artest Carrying Tweety, I accepted the purse from another girl."
Rufeng also added with a serious face: "Going back to the prince and princess, it's not entirely the fault of Artest. Artest took things from others and didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't care, but Tweety did. Artest is stupid. , can’t be explained at all.”
"That girl is the daughter of the boss who delivers meat to the palace, she is white and fat, not the type that Artest likes." Qingyang interjected again.
Zhi Luo rolled her eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You know, why didn't you explain to Artest just now?"
"Before I had time, Tweety ran in." Rufeng looked helpless.
"A Tai, you and I have been with me for so long, why are you so underdeveloped, I can't even figure it out." Xi Yincang was furious, and sighed: "I still don't know where I have offended someone, if you want to do this, Tweety ran away sooner or later."
When Artai heard this, he looked at this and then that, not knowing what to do, Zhi Luo looked at Xi Yincang like this, smiled wickedly, and hurried over to Artai and said: "You are so stupid, the woman sent me a gift." If you like Tweety, then you can't provoke other women. Tweety is jealous and thinks you are with other women."
"Ah? I don't have it? That woman stuffed it to me, and she left after giving it to me. I, I don't know what that means." Artai was explained clearly by Zhi Luo, with an annoyed expression on his face
Zhi Luo tugged at him and urged, "Hurry up and explain clearly."
Artest froze for a moment, agreed and ran out quickly.
Rufeng and Qingyang looked at each other and wanted to leave, but Zhiluo's voice sounded again: "Don't join in the fun, clear the table."
The two of them looked at their princess resentfully behind Xi Yincang's back, and went to work obediently, thinking, there are so many maids, they want to gossip about Artest.
Xi Yincang looked at Zhiluo's complacent look from the side, and his heart was filled with satisfaction. Since Zhiluo, not only him, but also the people around him have changed. He feels that his life now is very warm and beautiful. place
I have always wanted the feeling I have been yearning for, the feeling of home.Although there are still unknown difficulties and dangers, he feels that Zhi Luo has given him incomparable confidence and strength, supporting him to work hard to protect everything.
Because of the assassin incident, although everything went well afterwards, Xi Yincang took Zhi Luo and Fat Tuan'er back to the mansion ahead of time.There is nothing wrong with Fat Tuan'er going out like this once, the little guy is in good health raised by Zhi Luo.
It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Zhi Luo played with Fat Tuaner for a while, coaxed him to sleep early, and watched the nurse take Fat Tuan down.Only then did he run in to change clothes, Xi Yincang promised to wait for him to see the lights today.Zhi Luo's body is much stronger than before, thanks to Chu Jiangyuan's elixir. Although he is not as fearless as a master, he is more resistant to cold than ordinary people.And for the convenience of shopping, he didn't wear very thick clothes, not as bloated as others. Coupled with the change of his temperament, the whole person has a kind of elegant and unrestrained feeling.
The street is very lively and crowded with people.The long river in front of the Yujin Building is covered with thick ice. There are children playing and frolicking on the ice with lanterns. From time to time, there are adults scolding. Come, the lanterns along the river are of all shapes and sizes, flickering.
Zhi Luo followed Xi Yincang, watching all this, her heart became hot.Looking at all kinds of gadgets on the side of the road, I just feel that my eyes are overwhelmed.The two stopped and went, Han Ye and the others followed not far away, keeping an eye on their surroundings.Zhi Luo saw that she had bought a lot of fresh things, such as masks, face masks, and a lot of food. At this time, she was still holding a candied haws in her hand.
Xi Yincang pulled him tighter, telling him from time to time: "There are too many people, don't wander around, just follow me closely." Zhi Luo nodded hastily.
Xi Yincang suddenly seemed to have a feeling, and turned his head to look intuitively. In the crowd, a tall and straight figure just disappeared, and he frowned. He always felt that something was wrong, only that the figure was familiar.So he pulled Zhi Luo and walked in that direction.Zhi Luo hurriedly followed, chewing candied haws and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xi Yincang looked forward, and before he had time to tell Han Ye and the others not far away in the dark, he quickly said to Zhi Luo: "This direction, wearing a black brocade robe, about the same height as me, slightly thinner, follow up he"
Zhi Luo raised her head to look but did not find the figure he was talking about, she probably walked away, nodded: "Yeah." Then she stuffed the candied haws into Xi Yincang's hands.
"Follow him secretly, don't get too close, just watch where he goes, be careful, and leave a mark for me. If you don't catch him, forget it," Xi Yincang explained hastily.Zhi Luo nodded again, took a deep breath, moved his feet, flashed through the crowd like a butterfly wearing a flower, and headed towards the direction Xi Yincang said. They are much faster.
Sure enough, not long after, Zhi Luo saw the black figure from a distance, and behind that black figure was a servant-like person walking all the way to the north of the city. Zhi Luo remembered Xi Yincang's words, dare not be too
Closer, silently, like an elf at night, he left a circle mark on the corner of the tree trunk all the way, well, he drew a fat ball.
Zhi Luo followed the two of them and hid in the shadow of an alley. Watching the two of them stop in front of a courtyard, the servant knocked on the door. Familiar, but can't remember.He wanted to sneak into the yard to have a look, but finally held back and waited obediently for Xi Yincang.
Xi Yincang arrived not long after, he pulled Zhiluo and succeeded, Zhiluo looked up at him and said softly: "He's gone in there. Yincang, who is that man?"
Xi Yincang said in a low voice: "I didn't see clearly, I'm not sure yet, you wait here for me, I'll go in and have a look."
"I'll go with you." Zhi Luo tugged at him: "If you don't fight, I'm fine with peeping or something."
Xi Yincang thought for a while, and he had almost mastered what his master taught him when he was practicing. He nodded and said, "Follow me closely." Then he gestured to the dark place.
Xi Yincang observed it, jumped up, tapped his feet on the wall, and flew towards a big tree in the yard like a big bird.Zhi Luo felt a little excited, quickly took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, lightened his body, and followed him silently and lightly, as fast as a fright, as light as a feather, like a butterfly or a swallow.Xi Yincang couldn't help but admire in his eyes, feeling a lot more at ease.
The two stood on the tree, this is a small yard with two entrances, not very big, quiet.Xi Yincang looked at the guards in the bright and dark places, and felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. He winked at Zhiluo in several dark places, Zhiluo understood and nodded.Xi Yincang saw the right moment, avoided the guards in the dark, and ran towards the backyard, Zhiluo followed closely behind.
There was a light on in the main room at the back, Xi Yincang didn't dare to get too close for fear of disturbing the people inside, so he hid behind the shadow of a big tree, Zhi Luo approached him, looked at the bright window, grabbed Xi Yincang wrote with one hand: I can't see anything like this?past?
Xi Yincang shook his head, and also wrote in Zhiluo's hand: If I guess right, I will be discovered if I get too close, and my skills are comparable to mine.
I come over?Zhi Luo thought about it, he is still somewhat sure now, he also sneaked up on Xi Yincang during practice, the chance of not being discovered is quite high.
Xi Yincang squeezed his hand, a little hesitant.At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the two quickly hid their figures and held their breath.The man who looked like a servant who had just followed behind the man in black closed the door and left, walking to the front yard.Zhi Luo secretly looked at his back, tried to search in his memory, but still couldn't grasp that feeling.Looking at the situation, it seems that the people in the room are about to rest, Zhi Luo tugged at Xi Yincang's sleeve.
Xi Yincang looked in the direction of the room, nodded, and wrote on his hand: Be careful!
☆、Try your skills
Zhi Luo nodded, looked around cautiously, reached out and took out a deep purple scarf from her bosom, and put it on her face, she got short and touched the ground with her toes, then ran out .Zhiluo took advantage of the cover of two clumps of grass to spot the gap between the guards and suddenly reached the shadow under the corridor, turned around and jumped onto the corridor to hide behind the pillars, Zhiluo paused, feeling a little nervous in his heart, He clenched his palms, regained his composure, and walked under the window of that room in a flash.It just so happens that the veranda and the bonsai flowers placed above it can block his figure, as long as there are no people passing by, he will not be easily spotted.
Like a cat, Zhi Luo lay quietly under the window and waited for a while, then carefully wet her fingers, soaked the window paper and squinted to look inside.Sure enough, the man in black was inside, but he was sitting at the table with his back to Zhiluo. At this time, there was another person in the room, sitting opposite to the man in black. Zhiluo could only look at half of his face, The cheeks are thin, the cheekbones are slightly high, and he looks like he is in his 30s.
"My lord, you should be more cautious in the future." The thin-faced man had a worried expression on his face.
"Got it, Uncle Yang, how many times do you want to say it?" The man in Xuanyi said with a clear voice, "I have a sense of proportion, I know what is important, don't worry. Didn't I say it, he didn't find me, I am not far away Did you see him come back immediately?"
The thin-faced man shook his head helplessly, but he didn't seem to dare to disobey the black-clothed man too much, so he stopped talking about it immediately and asked again: "I have already made an appointment. Although it is the place we chose, we still need to be careful." It's better. While there is still time, let's arrange it carefully."
Zhi Luo pricked up her ears under the window, thinking that the man in black would turn around and let him see what he looked like.
The man in black nodded lightly, and explained a few more words, the two stopped talking, and the thin-faced man got up and made a gesture to leave.
Zhi Luo was anxious for a while, but seeing that the thin-faced man was about to come out, he lightened his body and ran up to the eaves silently, with his hands and feet under the eaves, watching the thin-faced man close the door and go out. Can't help but ooze cold sweat.It wasn't until the figure of the thin-faced man disappeared that he floated down gently by luck and lay back on his stomach.
Zhi Luo thought about leaving if he still couldn't see it, he closed his eyes, then opened them and looked into the small hole in the window paper.The man in black clothes was taking off his coat and hanging it on the opposite wooden stand, he turned around again as if he was about to pour tea, and Zhi Luo finally saw the true face of Mount Lu.Zhi Luo's heart skipped a beat, she covered her mouth with her hand, and lowered herself down.
"Who?" The people in the room suddenly called out, hearing footsteps coming towards the window.
Zhi Luo's nervous heart was about to jump out, she was still too shallow, too impatient.Using all four limbs together, he turned down the corridor and lay down in the shadows, holding his breath and not daring to move.There was the sound of the window being opened, and two people came by the courtyard door, bowing and saluting: "My lord."
"Did you see anyone just now?" The voice of the man in black clothes asked
The two looked at each other and shook their heads: "Young master, I didn't find anything unusual."
Zhi Luo couldn't see the expression of the man in black clothes, only listened to the silence for two seconds before he spoke again: "Go, come forward
Check it out for me afterwards. "
"Yes!"
Zhi Luo groaned inwardly, Nima, so vigilant!
Just as the two guards were about to move, there was a sound from the wall on the left side. They were startled. One of them jumped forward quickly, and the other whistled, as if to convey some message. The voice was not high but clear, and then stepped forward. Go up the steps and stand in front of the door.There was the sound of windows closing.
Zhi Luo didn't dare to move rashly, so she had to wait, the ground was icy
Liu Wanyi has been pregnant for more than six months, and it's cold, so she stays indoors all day, too lazy to move.Maybe because of her pregnancy, she has been a little irritable recently. She doesn't lose her temper and be arrogant, she just frowns sullenly and doesn't like to talk
If you talk, you don't like to talk to people.Her appetite isn't very good either, she doesn't pick or complain, she eats more if she wants to eat, and eats less when she doesn't like it.
At this moment, Liu Wanyi frowned slightly as she looked at the food served by the girl and mother-in-law. She picked up the chopsticks and didn't pick up the food for a long time.
"Second Imperial Concubine, is it not to your liking? Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll let the kitchen cook it." Seeing Liu Wanyi's expression, Xiao Lian asked quickly.
Liu Wanyi shook her head: "I've done so much hard work in the kitchen, so there's no need to be troublesome. Besides, it's the same for everything I do. I always have no appetite recently." She said, gently stroking her bulging belly with her little hand, "Second Prince What? Haven’t come back yet?”
"Yes, I said I went to visit General Qi, I should be back soon," Xiaolian put two light and refreshing dishes in front of her: "Your body is important, you should eat some."
Liu Wanyi reluctantly ate a little bit and asked someone to remove her. She took a hand warmer and sat back on the soft couch to read a book, but she couldn't calm down no matter what.
"Yi'er." As soon as Xi Haoting came in, he went to the charcoal stove to warm up first, and then walked over after the cold air on his body dissipated.He held Liu Wanyi's hand, and asked in a gentle voice: "Didn't eat well? Tell me if there is anything you want to eat, and I'll ask someone to get it."
Liu Wanyi lowered her head and remained silent.
The warm smile on Xi Haoting's face faded away, replaced by an anxious one: "What's wrong? Yi'er? Are you feeling unwell? Is there something else on your mind?"
Liu Wanyi shook her head, and approached Xi Haoting's arms: "Hao Ting, I don't know what's wrong with Yi'er, has Yi'er changed, become bad, has a big temper, is picky about eating, and doesn't want to talk."
Xi Haoting smiled softly, and used her gently and carefully: "Hehe, Yi'er is the best. Didn't the imperial doctor say it? This is a normal reaction, don't let wild thoughts, or it will affect the baby." Saying, Xi Haoting let go of Liu Wanyi, took her hands and put them to his lips: "It's because I haven't been with you well these two days, which made Yi'er feel uneasy. There will be nothing else to do next, and I even brought you delicious food , I will bring it when Xiaolian is finished washing."
Liu Wanyi's brows stretched, she became more and more dependent on Xi Haoting, seeing him as if all troubles had disappeared, thinking of this, her face turned red.
After a while, Xiao Lian came over with a plate of washed grapes and put them on the small table.Liu Wanyi was surprised: "How can there be grapes in such a cold day?"
"Hehe, I've lost a lot of energy." Xi Haoting smiled, and personally handed one to her mouth: "Let's put it in the room for a while, it's not so cold, but don't eat too much, eat a few There's a taste in your mouth."
Liu Wanyi opened her small mouth and ate it, then smiled with satisfaction: "Sweet and sour."
"It's fine if you like it, but you can only eat a few, I'm afraid you will get cold." Xi Haoting said, and peeled another one for her.
Liu Wanyi nodded obediently, her heart was extremely sweet.Since she became pregnant, Xi Haoting has done many things
She did everything by herself, and she tried to stay by her side as much as possible. She was meticulous, caring, thoughtful, and asked the imperial doctor about things that needed attention from time to time.Originally, it was the first time for her to experience these things, so it was inevitable that she felt uneasy, and she didn't understand many things very well, but Xi Haoting always made her feel at ease.
Liu Wanyi ate a few grapes, whetted her appetite, and ate another piece of snack, her energy improved a lot.Xi Haoting sat beside her, and put his big hand gently on her swollen belly: "The weather is too cold, you can go out for a walk when spring opens, Yier bear with it for a while." Xi Haoting said softly, suddenly , he raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up: "Oh, Yi'er, he moved."
Xi Haoting's face was filled with surprise and curiosity, he couldn't help lowering his head to get close to Liu Wanyi's stomach, and carefully placed his face on it: "Yi'er, the baby just moved, hehe, he must be missing Daddy."
"How could he know this?" Liu Wanyi chuckled, reaching out to caress Xi Haoting's cheek.
Xi Haoting said softly: "It's true. I heard from an experienced mother-in-law that he can hear us talking. You should talk to him more in the future, hehehe."
Liu Wanyi's eyes were softer. When it came to the baby, Xi Haoting was like a big child, excited and happy, and she was also infected.
Xi Haoting's heart was soft, and he didn't want to lock people in the room all day, one reason was that it was too cold now, Liu Wanyi's body was delicate, and the other reason was that he was a little worried.Ever since Liu Wanyi became pregnant, he had thoroughly checked and sorted out his whole house, and personally selected his confidants to take care of Liu Wanyi. Guard her all the time.
For the past six months, everything seemed to be going smoothly until General Qi became poisoned a few days ago.But the more this happened, the more worried he became.
"Hao Ting, what do you think our child's name is?" Liu Wanyi's soft voice brought Xi Hao Ting back to his thoughts.
Xi Haoting looked down at her dotingly, and gently squeezed her small pointed chin: "Father will give him a name, um, but we can give him a nickname."
"Little name, um!" Liu Wanyi listened and began to think seriously.
Seeing her cute appearance, Xi Haoting couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth again, "No hurry, we still have a few months to think about it."
General Qi's body gradually improved under Shuranye's treatment, and he finally woke up on New Year's Eve, but the poison was deep and accumulated for too long. Although he woke up, he could only eat and drink, and he was still lying on the bed. Can't say yet.Even so, it made everyone in the mansion feel at ease, thinking that the general will be able to live like a dragon and tiger like before.
Shu Ranye has been haggard for the past month. During the day, he has to personally prepare and decoct medicines for General Qi, and adjust the dosage of each medicine according to the degree of body recovery and the degree of toxin retention every day. At night, Qi Tianhong tortures him, watching Qi Tianhong Don't you worry about this time?
Already, at first he followed him because of his distress, but later he had to keep a straight face.
This day, he prepared the medicine and ordered someone to give it to General Qi. He took advantage of some free time to go to Dinghui Prince's Mansion. He was afraid that when he went back to his residence in the General's Mansion, he would be entangled by Qi Tianhong again. Dad pretended to be pitiful, but he tossed Shuranye and ruined it.Shu Ranye thought, he can no longer indulge him.
☆, hot springs
Zhi Luo originally thought that the New Year here would be very lively, fresh and fun. There was no difference between the past and the past, but now it is naturally different.I wanted to go out and have a good time, but Xi Yincang told him that he was going to have a banquet in the palace, so he suddenly went down again.What's the point of entertaining in the palace? It's better to stay at home by yourself.
Zhi Luo was feeling a little dejected, nestled in the room, Fat Tuan'er drank milk and was taken to take a nap by the nanny.Xi Yincang looked at his listless look, and sat aside to coax him: "After the new year, and the entertainment in the palace is over, I'll take you to a hot spring in another courtyard in the suburbs, okay, and then we will come back on the fifteenth day. There will be a lantern festival, so it will be fun."
"Soak in the hot spring?" Zhi Luo raised his head and became excited again. He leaned on Xi Yincang's body: "Okay, I haven't soaked in it yet. But what about Fat Tuaner?"
"Well, Fat Tuan'er is too young, let's stay in the mansion, with the old lady and nurse here, it will be fine." Xi Yincang said with a smile.
Zhi Luo thought for a while, but still hesitated: "But, I'm afraid I won't feel relieved, since I got Fat Tuan'er, I haven't left yet."
Xi Yincang shook his head, rubbed his head, and said helplessly: "Okay, let's go together, take the nanny, take care of it, be careful, it shouldn't be cold."
When Zhi Luo heard this, he became happy. He raised his head and licked the corner of Xi Yincang's lips: "Yincang, you are the best."
The two of them were getting bored, Shuranye lifted the curtain and came in, and Jiyue looked helpless behind her.Xi Yincang looked at him the same way, signaling to Jiyue that it's okay, and Jiyue then backed down.
Shu Ranye was not too polite, took off his shoes and sat directly at the small table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
Zhi Luo looked at him curiously and asked: "Doctor Shu, who provoked you, why is your face so dark?"
Shu Ranye rubbed his forehead, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
"Is General Qi's poison so powerful? Is it not easy to deal with?" Zhi Luo couldn't help feeling a little worried when he heard that. He heard from Xi Yincang that if General Qi had something to do, the issue of military power would be a bit troublesome.
Xi Yincang raised his eyebrows lightly, with a playful expression on his face: "Why is he tired because of this, Luo'er, don't worry about him."
Shuranye glared at Xi Yincang angrily, but didn't know how to explain it, so he hummed and drank another cup of tea.
Zhi Ziluo was still puzzled, Xi Yincang leaned close to his ear and whispered something, Zhi Luo's eyes lit up, peeking, and sure enough, the pink marks on Shu Ranye's neck were faintly visible under the collar.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that dead fox to be so ignorant of restraint." Zhi Luo grinned, gossiping.
Shu Ranye's face was a little embarrassing, coughed twice, and squinted at Zhi Luo: "Hmph, how dare you laugh at me."
"Ye, how long will it take for General Qi to fully recover?" Xi Yincang stopped laughing and asked in a low voice.
Shu Ranye frowned: "This poison has been applied long ago, chronic poison,
It has been accumulating in the body, and once it occurs, it is more troublesome than other poisons.If Hong'er hadn't been given the antidote pill before, he might not be able to save her. "Shu Ranye regained his composure, and then said: "The toxin is almost cleared up, and the person is awake, but if he wants to return to normal, it depends on the general himself besides my recuperation and treatment. "
Xi Yincang nodded: "General Qi has a resolute character, so there is nothing wrong with him. I don't think he will recover in a long time."
"Senior brother, you know that I have never asked about those political matters, but now I am a little worried, if General Qi has something to do, will Hong'er be involved." Shu Ranye's usually unruly face was faintly worried.
"Although Qi Tianhong is the son of a general, he has not been an official in the court and has no military position, so you don't have to worry." Xi Yincang comforted.
Zhi Luo looked at him, pursed her lips and said nothing, if someone really wanted to make a move, how could Qi Tianhong not be implicated.
Shu Ranye sat for a while and then left.
Zhi Luo took the red bean cake to eat, and asked while eating: "If General Qi has something to do, who will take over the position of General Right?"
"Now the third prince strongly recommends the deputy general Song Tao. Song Tao is calm and introverted. He is quite a man of the city, but he is also a general." Xi Yincang poured tea for Zhiluo and said, "It's just that I didn't notice Song Tao before. He is actually the third prince's person, but apart from him, there are others who are more suitable, but their positions are not as high as Song Tao's, and someone in the court will be dissatisfied in promoting others by surpassing him."
"Being an emperor is hard enough, hey." Zhi Luo clicked his lips and took a sip of hot tea: "Look how much older the emperor is than the old man, just looks like he is more than ten years older."
"The emperor's body is indeed not as good as before." Xi Yincang sighed.
Zhi Luo followed Xi Yincang into the palace for a few banquets, passed the year in a daze, which made her quite tired.After the fifth day of the lunar new year, Xi Yincang took people to another courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
The other courtyard is not as big as the palace, but it is exquisite and elegant, and there is a natural open-air hot spring in the back, Zhiluo likes it very much.
Because of the cold weather, Zhi Luo thought about it, and let the nanny stay in the room with Fat Tuan'er.He changed his robe, wrapped it in a thick dark blue fox fur coat, and walked towards the backyard on the thin snow that had not yet melted on the road.Under the moonlight, the gray and white fluff on the fox fur hat set off his white face, as if coated with a layer of soft light, the hot spring was filled with water vapor, like a dream, Zhi Luo quickly took off his clothes, raised his foot and stepped After entering, the warm spring water wrapped her whole body, and Zhi Luo sighed comfortably, leaning against the smooth stone beside her.
Zhi Luo raised her head slightly, the moonlight was like water, reflecting his jade-like skin, only his face and outline could be vaguely seen from the misty mist in the distance.
At this time, there was a slight voice, and Zhi Luo opened his eyes, thinking that Xi Yincang must have ordered everything to come and look for him, but he didn't see anyone.Zhi Luo frowned slightly, since she learned lightness kung fu from Chu Jiangyuan, she became a little strange again.
With the strength of his internal strength, his eyes and ears have also become sharper.
"Yin Cang, is that you?" Zhi Luo spoke softly, but there was no sound at this time.Just when Zhi Luo thought that he had heard it wrong, suddenly, Mo Ming's hairs stood on end.Zhi Luo stretched out his hand and pushed on the stone, his body was like a swallow, he turned around swiftly, causing a splash of water, he had reached the shore in the blink of an eye, and wrapped the fox fur around his body with a huff.
"Who?" Zhi Luo's heart was beating wildly, nervously looking at the dark place behind the rockery.
Suddenly, with a bang, a dark mark shot straight towards Zhiluo, and at the same time, a black figure sprang out from the dark place and jumped in the opposite direction. Everything was just in the blink of an eye.
Zhiluo's feet moved continuously, and he hurriedly backed away, the dart was still an inch away from him, and its strength remained undiminished.Zhi Luo gritted her teeth, retreated unabated, exerted force on her waist, bent her whole body backward, the dart brushed past him, and nailed it to the tree trunk with a bang.
At this time, a figure jumped up and chased after the fleeing person.Zhi Luo saw that it was Han Ye, so he lay down on the ground, stretched out his hand and patted his chest, this was the first time he used the kung fu he had learned, and he was still somewhat embarrassed.
"Luo'er!" Zhi Luo hadn't even caught her breath when she suddenly spun around and was picked up by someone.Xi Yincang's eyes were filled with anxiety and fear, and he stared at him with fixed eyebrows, his hands shaking for a while.
Zhi Luo suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He was in a hurry just now and only wrapped up his fox fur coat, but now he was shaken by Xi Yincang, and they all scattered.He hastily stretched out his hand and tugged, but he was still naked inside.
"Yincang, calm down, I'm fine." Zhi Luo stretched out his hand to touch Xi Yincang's picturesque handsome face, and comforted him.
Xi Yincang stretched out his hand and brushed off the fox fur wrapped in Zhiluo, quickly glanced up and down, and wrapped him tightly again, and then said: "Scared me to death, hey! Why don't you wait for me."
The corner of Zhi Luo's mouth twitched: "Let's go back to the room first, it's so cold."
Xi Yincang nodded, and quickly carried Zhiluo back into the house, put him on the bed and wrapped him in a quilt, he was still afraid, and hugged him tightly and didn't let go.
Zhi Luo had no choice but to let him: "Okay, I'm not doing well, you think I'm a fool with the master, you see, this will be effective."
"You're still proud, I'm scared out of my heart by you." Xi Yincang complained, his pretty brows congealed into knots: "How come someone assassinated me just after I came here. Han Ye didn't catch anyone, saying look at the hidden weapon , I haven’t seen it before, it doesn’t look like it’s here.”
"It's not from here? Where is it from?" Zhi Luo was a little surprised: "From another country?"
Xi Yincang nodded: "Like, but, it's impossible for you to offend someone from another country?"
"I didn't feel a strong killing intent. At that time, I just had a strong feeling of being peeped, and I got goosebumps all over my body. I guess that person didn't expect to be discovered by me, so I threw a dart and ran away. "Zhi Luo thought for a while and said: "But, it can't be as simple as just a peeping tom."
"peep
?Overwhelmed? "Xi Yincang asked suddenly.
Zhi Luo rolled her eyes: "No, there's a lot of water vapor there, and I'm so powerful now, I noticed it right away."
Xi Yincang knocked on his head angrily: "Idiot, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will see you as a man and be taken advantage of. It's fine if you don't see it. I'll send someone to investigate and strengthen the guards. It's all right."
Zhi Luo's knocked head shrank into the quilt, and asked again: "Could it be sent by the third prince?"
"It's not like, he missed a few times, it seems that he has changed his strategy, and he will not take action against the palace easily." Xi Yincang pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, I will send someone to investigate this matter Yes, I took you out to relax, I don’t want to do this. Change into clothes when it’s warmer, and we’ll eat hot pot. Don’t waste your time today.”
Zhi Luo's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Okay, okay, this kind of weather is the most suitable, hahaha, I like it. Go and bring me the clothes."
Seeing his happy look, Xi Yincang smiled, got up and went to fetch his clothes.He likes Zhiluo's point, no matter what happens, he is rarely depressed, and he doesn't know whether to call him optimistic or careless.
☆, tracking
Eating hot pot in winter is the most beautiful thing. Zhi Luo looked at the tumbling meat slices in the copper pot, gurgling, frozen tofu, various vegetables, mushrooms, prawns, meatballs... He has long since thrown away the matter just now. When I arrived at Cloud Nine, I was so happy to suck and eat.
In the outside room, Cui'er Jiyue is like the wind, Qingyang and cold night, and Artai also surrounded a large table, or Zhiluo specially asked Jiyue to call Artai, several people also know Zhiluo's temperament, and also You don't have to go to serve, you are not restrained, and the food is lively.In the past when they were in front of Xi Yincang, no matter what, they were restrained, but now this kind of thing just depends on Zhi Luo's face, as long as the princess is happy, the prince will not say anything, but they are much more at ease and have received a lot of benefits.
Zhi Luo raised her head and took a sip of the wine, then slapped, with a satisfied face, a thin layer of sweat broke out from her head, and her face was also red from the smoke.
Xi Yincang showed affection and affection, and wiped Zhiluo's sweat with a handkerchief: "Have you eaten yet?"
"I'm so full. It's so warm and satisfying." Zhi Luo leaned back and rubbed her stomach.Still so comfortable and comfortable, going to the palace to have a banquet, not only have to put on a show, but also restrained in speaking, suffocating to death.
Zhiluo was full and was stunned for a while, when Cui'er came in and cleaned up the things on the table.Zhiluo is a little strange, usually the little girl chatters, and the young lady keeps talking, why is it so quiet today, is it because Artest is here, and she is shy.Zhi Luo chuckled, wanting to tease her, looked at Cui'er, but found that the little girl was pouted, her face was full of anger.
Tweety has served Zhiluo since she was a child, and Zhiluo has always regarded her as her younger sister. Seeing Tweety like this, she quickly stretched out her hand and pulled her in front of her: "What's the matter? , can hang a small oil bottle."
"I, I'm fine." Cui'er pursed her mouth, her eye circles were a little red, but she still insisted: "Miss, I'll cut some fruits for you, so that you don't get too tired after eating so much meat."
Zhi Luo tugged at her sleeve and asked without letting go: "You still say it's okay? Everything is written on your face. Tell me, did Artest bully you?"
When Tweet heard this, her eyes became wet, she bit her lip and lowered her head without speaking.When Zhi Luo saw it, he felt a little at a loss, thinking that he must have gotten into an awkward situation with Artest, seeing Tweeter's aggrieved appearance, he couldn't help being a bit angry as an older brother and master.But it's not easy for him to ask too much about the relationship between these two people. After all, how can outsiders figure out the mind of the person involved in such a matter.
Zhi Luo was in a dilemma, Xi Yincang said: "A Tai, come in."
Immediately, Artest came in from the door, took a peek at Tweety, and stood respectfully aside.Xi Yincang looked at the two of them and asked, "What's going on?"
Artest scratched his head, a little anxious: "I, I don't know." He said and looked at Tweety cautiously.Zhi Luo frowned and also looked at Cui'er with questioning eyes.Tweety stomped her feet, raised her hand to wipe her face and ran out.
"Eh? Well, Jiyue, hurry up and follow
Look at this little girl. "Zhi Luo stood up, gave instructions to the outside, walked to Artai's side and asked: "Atai, what are you doing?"To make Tweety so sad? "
Artest's face was even more anxious, he wanted to chase after him, but he didn't dare to go out without orders, he also looked aggrieved when he heard Zhi Luo's question: "Princess, I really didn't do anything, I, how could I be willing to bully her?" .”
At this time, Rufeng and Qingyang poked their heads out from the curtain: "My lord, my concubine."
Xi Yincang supported his chin with one hand, looked at Artest, couldn't help smiling, and said to the two people outside the door: "It's becoming more and more unruly, you can rely on the princess to spoil you."
When Qingyang and Rufeng heard this, they hurried in and stood up respectfully and returned: "I dare not." Qingyang restrained his expression and looked serious: "Go back to the prince and concubine, the reason Cui'er is angry is because Artest Carrying Tweety, I accepted the purse from another girl."
Rufeng also added with a serious face: "Going back to the prince and princess, it's not entirely the fault of Artest. Artest took things from others and didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't care, but Tweety did. Artest is stupid. , can’t be explained at all.”
"That girl is the daughter of the boss who delivers meat to the palace, she is white and fat, not the type that Artest likes." Qingyang interjected again.
Zhi Luo rolled her eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You know, why didn't you explain to Artest just now?"
"Before I had time, Tweety ran in." Rufeng looked helpless.
"A Tai, you and I have been with me for so long, why are you so underdeveloped, I can't even figure it out." Xi Yincang was furious, and sighed: "I still don't know where I have offended someone, if you want to do this, Tweety ran away sooner or later."
When Artai heard this, he looked at this and then that, not knowing what to do, Zhi Luo looked at Xi Yincang like this, smiled wickedly, and hurried over to Artai and said: "You are so stupid, the woman sent me a gift." If you like Tweety, then you can't provoke other women. Tweety is jealous and thinks you are with other women."
"Ah? I don't have it? That woman stuffed it to me, and she left after giving it to me. I, I don't know what that means." Artai was explained clearly by Zhi Luo, with an annoyed expression on his face
Zhi Luo tugged at him and urged, "Hurry up and explain clearly."
Artest froze for a moment, agreed and ran out quickly.
Rufeng and Qingyang looked at each other and wanted to leave, but Zhiluo's voice sounded again: "Don't join in the fun, clear the table."
The two of them looked at their princess resentfully behind Xi Yincang's back, and went to work obediently, thinking, there are so many maids, they want to gossip about Artest.
Xi Yincang looked at Zhiluo's complacent look from the side, and his heart was filled with satisfaction. Since Zhiluo, not only him, but also the people around him have changed. He feels that his life now is very warm and beautiful. place
I have always wanted the feeling I have been yearning for, the feeling of home.Although there are still unknown difficulties and dangers, he feels that Zhi Luo has given him incomparable confidence and strength, supporting him to work hard to protect everything.
Because of the assassin incident, although everything went well afterwards, Xi Yincang took Zhi Luo and Fat Tuan'er back to the mansion ahead of time.There is nothing wrong with Fat Tuan'er going out like this once, the little guy is in good health raised by Zhi Luo.
It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Zhi Luo played with Fat Tuaner for a while, coaxed him to sleep early, and watched the nurse take Fat Tuan down.Only then did he run in to change clothes, Xi Yincang promised to wait for him to see the lights today.Zhi Luo's body is much stronger than before, thanks to Chu Jiangyuan's elixir. Although he is not as fearless as a master, he is more resistant to cold than ordinary people.And for the convenience of shopping, he didn't wear very thick clothes, not as bloated as others. Coupled with the change of his temperament, the whole person has a kind of elegant and unrestrained feeling.
The street is very lively and crowded with people.The long river in front of the Yujin Building is covered with thick ice. There are children playing and frolicking on the ice with lanterns. From time to time, there are adults scolding. Come, the lanterns along the river are of all shapes and sizes, flickering.
Zhi Luo followed Xi Yincang, watching all this, her heart became hot.Looking at all kinds of gadgets on the side of the road, I just feel that my eyes are overwhelmed.The two stopped and went, Han Ye and the others followed not far away, keeping an eye on their surroundings.Zhi Luo saw that she had bought a lot of fresh things, such as masks, face masks, and a lot of food. At this time, she was still holding a candied haws in her hand.
Xi Yincang pulled him tighter, telling him from time to time: "There are too many people, don't wander around, just follow me closely." Zhi Luo nodded hastily.
Xi Yincang suddenly seemed to have a feeling, and turned his head to look intuitively. In the crowd, a tall and straight figure just disappeared, and he frowned. He always felt that something was wrong, only that the figure was familiar.So he pulled Zhi Luo and walked in that direction.Zhi Luo hurriedly followed, chewing candied haws and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xi Yincang looked forward, and before he had time to tell Han Ye and the others not far away in the dark, he quickly said to Zhi Luo: "This direction, wearing a black brocade robe, about the same height as me, slightly thinner, follow up he"
Zhi Luo raised her head to look but did not find the figure he was talking about, she probably walked away, nodded: "Yeah." Then she stuffed the candied haws into Xi Yincang's hands.
"Follow him secretly, don't get too close, just watch where he goes, be careful, and leave a mark for me. If you don't catch him, forget it," Xi Yincang explained hastily.Zhi Luo nodded again, took a deep breath, moved his feet, flashed through the crowd like a butterfly wearing a flower, and headed towards the direction Xi Yincang said. They are much faster.
Sure enough, not long after, Zhi Luo saw the black figure from a distance, and behind that black figure was a servant-like person walking all the way to the north of the city. Zhi Luo remembered Xi Yincang's words, dare not be too
Closer, silently, like an elf at night, he left a circle mark on the corner of the tree trunk all the way, well, he drew a fat ball.
Zhi Luo followed the two of them and hid in the shadow of an alley. Watching the two of them stop in front of a courtyard, the servant knocked on the door. Familiar, but can't remember.He wanted to sneak into the yard to have a look, but finally held back and waited obediently for Xi Yincang.
Xi Yincang arrived not long after, he pulled Zhiluo and succeeded, Zhiluo looked up at him and said softly: "He's gone in there. Yincang, who is that man?"
Xi Yincang said in a low voice: "I didn't see clearly, I'm not sure yet, you wait here for me, I'll go in and have a look."
"I'll go with you." Zhi Luo tugged at him: "If you don't fight, I'm fine with peeping or something."
Xi Yincang thought for a while, and he had almost mastered what his master taught him when he was practicing. He nodded and said, "Follow me closely." Then he gestured to the dark place.
Xi Yincang observed it, jumped up, tapped his feet on the wall, and flew towards a big tree in the yard like a big bird.Zhi Luo felt a little excited, quickly took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, lightened his body, and followed him silently and lightly, as fast as a fright, as light as a feather, like a butterfly or a swallow.Xi Yincang couldn't help but admire in his eyes, feeling a lot more at ease.
The two stood on the tree, this is a small yard with two entrances, not very big, quiet.Xi Yincang looked at the guards in the bright and dark places, and felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. He winked at Zhiluo in several dark places, Zhiluo understood and nodded.Xi Yincang saw the right moment, avoided the guards in the dark, and ran towards the backyard, Zhiluo followed closely behind.
There was a light on in the main room at the back, Xi Yincang didn't dare to get too close for fear of disturbing the people inside, so he hid behind the shadow of a big tree, Zhi Luo approached him, looked at the bright window, grabbed Xi Yincang wrote with one hand: I can't see anything like this?past?
Xi Yincang shook his head, and also wrote in Zhiluo's hand: If I guess right, I will be discovered if I get too close, and my skills are comparable to mine.
I come over?Zhi Luo thought about it, he is still somewhat sure now, he also sneaked up on Xi Yincang during practice, the chance of not being discovered is quite high.
Xi Yincang squeezed his hand, a little hesitant.At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the two quickly hid their figures and held their breath.The man who looked like a servant who had just followed behind the man in black closed the door and left, walking to the front yard.Zhi Luo secretly looked at his back, tried to search in his memory, but still couldn't grasp that feeling.Looking at the situation, it seems that the people in the room are about to rest, Zhi Luo tugged at Xi Yincang's sleeve.
Xi Yincang looked in the direction of the room, nodded, and wrote on his hand: Be careful!
☆、Try your skills
Zhi Luo nodded, looked around cautiously, reached out and took out a deep purple scarf from her bosom, and put it on her face, she got short and touched the ground with her toes, then ran out .Zhiluo took advantage of the cover of two clumps of grass to spot the gap between the guards and suddenly reached the shadow under the corridor, turned around and jumped onto the corridor to hide behind the pillars, Zhiluo paused, feeling a little nervous in his heart, He clenched his palms, regained his composure, and walked under the window of that room in a flash.It just so happens that the veranda and the bonsai flowers placed above it can block his figure, as long as there are no people passing by, he will not be easily spotted.
Like a cat, Zhi Luo lay quietly under the window and waited for a while, then carefully wet her fingers, soaked the window paper and squinted to look inside.Sure enough, the man in black was inside, but he was sitting at the table with his back to Zhiluo. At this time, there was another person in the room, sitting opposite to the man in black. Zhiluo could only look at half of his face, The cheeks are thin, the cheekbones are slightly high, and he looks like he is in his 30s.
"My lord, you should be more cautious in the future." The thin-faced man had a worried expression on his face.
"Got it, Uncle Yang, how many times do you want to say it?" The man in Xuanyi said with a clear voice, "I have a sense of proportion, I know what is important, don't worry. Didn't I say it, he didn't find me, I am not far away Did you see him come back immediately?"
The thin-faced man shook his head helplessly, but he didn't seem to dare to disobey the black-clothed man too much, so he stopped talking about it immediately and asked again: "I have already made an appointment. Although it is the place we chose, we still need to be careful." It's better. While there is still time, let's arrange it carefully."
Zhi Luo pricked up her ears under the window, thinking that the man in black would turn around and let him see what he looked like.
The man in black nodded lightly, and explained a few more words, the two stopped talking, and the thin-faced man got up and made a gesture to leave.
Zhi Luo was anxious for a while, but seeing that the thin-faced man was about to come out, he lightened his body and ran up to the eaves silently, with his hands and feet under the eaves, watching the thin-faced man close the door and go out. Can't help but ooze cold sweat.It wasn't until the figure of the thin-faced man disappeared that he floated down gently by luck and lay back on his stomach.
Zhi Luo thought about leaving if he still couldn't see it, he closed his eyes, then opened them and looked into the small hole in the window paper.The man in black clothes was taking off his coat and hanging it on the opposite wooden stand, he turned around again as if he was about to pour tea, and Zhi Luo finally saw the true face of Mount Lu.Zhi Luo's heart skipped a beat, she covered her mouth with her hand, and lowered herself down.
"Who?" The people in the room suddenly called out, hearing footsteps coming towards the window.
Zhi Luo's nervous heart was about to jump out, she was still too shallow, too impatient.Using all four limbs together, he turned down the corridor and lay down in the shadows, holding his breath and not daring to move.There was the sound of the window being opened, and two people came by the courtyard door, bowing and saluting: "My lord."
"Did you see anyone just now?" The voice of the man in black clothes asked
The two looked at each other and shook their heads: "Young master, I didn't find anything unusual."
Zhi Luo couldn't see the expression of the man in black clothes, only listened to the silence for two seconds before he spoke again: "Go, come forward
Check it out for me afterwards. "
"Yes!"
Zhi Luo groaned inwardly, Nima, so vigilant!
Just as the two guards were about to move, there was a sound from the wall on the left side. They were startled. One of them jumped forward quickly, and the other whistled, as if to convey some message. The voice was not high but clear, and then stepped forward. Go up the steps and stand in front of the door.There was the sound of windows closing.
Zhi Luo didn't dare to move rashly, so she had to wait, the ground was icy
