The king is the guide of the ministers

I know, even if this person didn't have a showdown today, Xuanyuan Lingye would definitely be able to predict it.

Since Xuanyuan Lingye understood everything and knew that this trip was dangerous, he still volunteered without hesitation.

Recalling the moment when he looked at him when he left, Liu Ci felt very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help complaining to himself: I don't understand anything, and I still have to come up with random ideas!If anything happens, I will never forgive myself!

"You won't have the chance to meet Ling Ye."

Xuanyuan Zhehao's words pulled back Liu Ci's mood.

Liu Ci snorted disdainfully: Give me, if Liu Ci is locked by your lock, wouldn't my title of Thief 67 be for nothing!

Xuanyuan Zhehao knocked heavily twice with his hand on the dragon chair, and saw the imperial guards rushing into the door.

"Bring him back to Linyuan Pavilion and watch him carefully. No one is allowed to step in."

"Yes."

Liu Ci did not resist, and returned to Linyuan Pavilion under the "care" of the imperial guards.But he unexpectedly saw an unexpected person in Linyuan Pavilion—the sixth prince Mu Yu.

From afar, Liu Ci saw Mu Yu and Ning Rui talking and laughing.But Mu Yu's face showed the innocent smile that a teenager should have. Looking at the two teenagers, Liu Ci's originally depressed mood improved a lot.

"Mu Yu, why did you come here?"

After adjusting her mood, Liu Ci walked forward with a smile.

When Mu Yu saw Liu Ci, he put away his previous smile and became reserved. He stood up, lowered his eyes slightly, and said softly, "Well... Mu Yu saw that Young Master Liu was uncomfortable, So... that's why I came here to have a look. Also, Mu Yu came to see Ning Rui too..."

"Ning Rui is Mu Yu's friend, right?" Liu Ci asked with a smile.

But Mu Yu looked at Liu Ci in surprise, and said after a long time: "Ning Rui was with me before... because something happened, Ning Rui followed Father."

Liu Ci discovered that when Mu Yu said this, she tried her best to hide the pain in her heart.And Ning Rui who was on the side was even more so.

It's not a good thing to expose people's scars.So Liu Ci just responded with a smile: "Oh, it's okay. Mu Yu can come here to find Ning Rui anytime, anyway, there are only me and Ning Rui here."

"Huh?" Mu Yu said in surprise, "Father doesn't live here?"

Facing the boy's straightforwardness, Liu Ci was a little embarrassed.Ning Rui quietly tugged at Mu Yu's sleeve, and winked at him vigorously.

Liu Ci smiled lightly: "Ning Rui, it's okay. He doesn't live here now, I'm afraid he will live here in the future..."

He said these words as if nothing to do with himself, but the eyes of the two teenagers beside him were already red.Liu Ci was stunned: "What's the matter with you?" Ning Rui and Mu Yu looked at each other, and then as if they had made up their minds, Ning Rui pulled off his clothes. The open body is full of scars.The boy closed his eyes and bit his lip, two lines of tears ran across his face.

Mu Yu wiped away the tears on Ning Rui's face with a handkerchief, and choked up with Liu Ci, "This is all done by my father... Ning Rui said that Mr. Liu is a good person. That's why I want to tell Mr. Liu about this." ...Father...He...is actually a beast...Ning Rui is treating me...to take me through...Young Master, help Ning Rui, please..."

Liu Ci can swear that this must be the most outrageous thing he has ever heard in his life.

Liu Ci sympathized with what happened to the young man, and hated Xuanyuan Zhehao's actions even more.It's just that Liu Ci himself is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, let alone protecting Ning Rui.

"How do you want me to help?"

Hearing this question, Mu Yu's melancholy eyes flickered with surprise, and he only heard him say: "Take Ning Rui away, leave the imperial city..."

But Liu Ci smiled: I also want to go, young master, leave here, and go to fiefdom with Xuanyuan Lingye...

"Mu Yu, I am now under house arrest by your father. If you can come and go freely, go find your third brother Xuanyuan Lingye, he will leave here soon. Only he can bring Ning Rui go out."

"Third brother wants to leave here?" Mu Yu looked at Liu Ci puzzled.

"Yes, this news will spread throughout Dongting within half a day."

Mu Yu felt a little troubled, he frowned and said lightly: "I have never talked to Third Brother, so I begged Third Brother so hastily, would he agree?"

"Should be able to, Xuanyuan Lingye is quite loyal."

Liu Ci thought for a while, stared at the two teenagers for a long time, but thought to himself: I am not familiar with them, maybe Mu Yu's words can be believed.But Ning Rui...

Recalling the time spent with Ning Rui, many details are worth pondering.Especially Xuanyuan Lingye's attitude towards Ning Rui at that time, Liu Ci remembered very clearly.

None of Ning Rui's injuries were fake.

But those are old wounds...

Should I believe it, should I help him?

If it's a scam, help me, I'll get into it myself, and I won't be able to leave even if I want to.

What should I do……

Mu Yu and Ning Rui saw that Liu Ci had been frowning in thought, they were reluctant to make a sound, they just looked at him expectantly from the side.

After thinking about it, Liu Cisi suddenly thought of it.So he hooked his fingers at Mu Yu and Ning Rui, and the two of them moved their heads knowingly. Liu Ci lowered his voice and said, "This matter must not be known to others. I will write a letter to Xuanyuan Lingye." Letter. If you find a way to send it out, you must hand it over to him."

Mu Yu nodded.

Liu Ci smiled strangely, swiped the pen, folded the paper, put it in an envelope and sealed it with wax.

Mu Yu took the letter and was about to put it into his arms when he heard Ning Rui say, "Your Highness Mu Yu, let Ning Rui come." To Ning Rui.

However, Liu Ci took Mu Yuzhong's letter and stuffed it into Mu Yu's shirt: "Go Mu Yu, Ning Rui is following me now, if he goes, it will definitely arouse suspicion. After Yuan goes back, don't go directly to Luochen Hall. It's best to wait two days before sending it there."

"En." Mu Yu blinked her watery eyes and looked at Liu Ci.

Liu Ci said again: "The letter will be fine even if someone snatches it away. Because there is a code in it, only Xuanyuan Lingye and I understand it. Xuanyuan Lingye will definitely send someone to connect with me when he sees the code."

"Connector?" The two teenagers were at a loss.

Looking at the pure and innocent appearance of the young man, Liu Ci suddenly felt that he was "sinful", but he had no choice but to do it.I saw him keeping his book tight and said: "Someone will come to me in two days, and he will say to me: 'The stream is flowing | the water is gurgling' and I will respond to him: 'The stream is flowing | Even if it is connected to the head."

The two teenagers nodded seriously.

However, Liu Ci did not hope that in two days, there would be someone standing by him and say this connection code to him.

Because, what was written in that letter was not a code at all.It was a sentence that Xuanyuan Lingye couldn't understand at all: I-love-you

There were guards outside Linyuan Pavilion all the time, without the king's order, those imperial guards would not let Mu Yu leave at all.No matter what Liu Ci said, he couldn't talk about those stone heads.

I don't know how long it took, but after an eunuch rushed over and whispered something to the leader of the imperial guards on duty, they agreed to let Mu Yu leave Linyuan Pavilion.Mu Yu was very nervous all the time, hugging his arms tightly, as if afraid that someone would snatch the letter from him.

Looking at the boy's panicked back, Liu Ci felt very guilty...

Mu Yu, I'm sorry...

When it was time for dinner, Liu Ci lay on the side of the table sleepily and didn't want to move.

Ning Rui served a bowl of porridge to Liu Ci and said, "Young Master, eat some. Otherwise, His Majesty will be anxious if he knows that Young Master will not eat or drink."

Liu Ci raised his chopsticks and looked at the bitter melon feast on the table, sighed, and put down his chopsticks again: "Ning Rui, why do I eat all bitter melon here? Is there nothing else?" I would rather eat cucumbers Do not eat bitter melon!

But Ning Rui lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "These are specially explained by His Majesty, the young master likes to eat bitter melon, so I made bitter melon..."

Liu Ci finally understood, Xiaoyuan, why don't you like eating bitter gourd?Now I've been ruined by that perverted suitor!

Whether you like it or not, Liu Ci will not make fun of his own safety.Right now, no matter what time to ensure their physical strength.It doesn't matter if you run away or guard against wolves.

With every bite, Liu Ci's will became stronger.

In ancient times, there was Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who lay down on his salary and tasted his gall, and now I, Liu Ci, sit and eat bitter melon.No pain No gain!

"Ning Rui, do you know how to make sky lanterns?" Liu Ci climbed up to the roof and sat on it, wanting to see the layout of the palace and prepare for his future escape.But the night was dark, and the stars were dim, making it impossible to see clearly.

"Ning Rui can only make lanterns..." Ning Rui stood below and looked up at Liu Ci, "Do you want to make a sky lantern to pray for blessings, my lord?"

"Yes." Liu Ci smiled lightly.

pray?

That's right.

The small piece of bamboo in the garden grows well, and it only needs to cut two bamboos to solve the problem of the skeleton of the sky lantern.

And Liu Cicai was not afraid of trouble, those people outside did not do what they wanted.After a while, seeing the Linyuan Pavilion in full swing, Liu Ci sat in the middle of a large pile of sky lanterns and smiled: "If so many sky lanterns are placed in the sky together, I should be able to see clearly."

"My lord, don't you write prayers on the lamp?"

Ning Rui walked to Liu Ci's side with a pen and inkstone in his hand.

Liu Ci thought for a while, and only divided the three lamps.
