The night in Beijing is lively.

Except for the quietness at the foot of the imperial city, the voices of ordinary people hawking can be heard endlessly on the road.

Wu Xun couldn't move his eyes anymore, and every time he came to a booth, he stood still and refused to leave.So before walking a hundred meters, Wu Xun had already brought several bowls of snacks in his hands.

Ning Bo couldn't help taking a few more glances, thinking that he really doesn't need to guide the way himself, this young man has a natural intuition for food, and the food he buys doesn't look eye-catching, but it's all serious The time-honored brand.

"Are you eating?" Wu Xun couldn't help asking seeing that Lu Xun hadn't moved his mouth.

Lu Xi couldn't help laughing: "You swallow the food before you talk." Little Heipi really looked like a little squirrel, with bulging cheeks.Thinking of this, Lu Xi's mind moved, and he stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek.Under the gaze of Wu Xun's wide-open eyes, he calmly withdrew his hand: "There is something dirty at the corner of my mouth."

Wu Xun swallowed what was in his mouth, covered his face and said dully: "But what you pinched is the face, not the corner of the mouth."

Lu Xi raised his hand again and wiped the corner of Xiao Heipi's mouth with his thumb.

Wu Xun's eyes widened, and his face gradually changed from black to red. Lu Xun was overjoyed, and his laughter made Ning Bo turn his head frequently. So how could the young master be so happy?

Wu Xun was a little dazed, but he wasn't stupid, so he walked straight forward without answering.

Lu Xi quickly chased after him: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"You know how to bully me." Wu Xun thought for a while, and said with certainty, "You bullied me when you were young."

The corner of Lu Xun's mouth couldn't help but rise. He let go of his hand and let Wu Xun go forward. After a while, he chased after him again. Hawthorn appeared at the corner of his mouth: "This is candied haws, a specialty of the capital, eat it." Lu Xi repeated Ning Bo's advice just now.

Wu Xun bit off a candied haws, and his eyes widened as he chewed: "It's delicious." There was even a hint of sweetness in his voice.

Wu Xun's eyes are actually not round eyes. His eyes are narrower and longer. His eyes are black and white, clean and clear. He has not been deeply involved in the world, but he is not lacking in heroic spirit.But when he eats or is surprised, his eyes are as big as small animals.

Lu Xi looked at the sugar residue on the corner of his mouth, couldn't help but smile, the smile spread to his eyes, and said that he was not stupid, a candied haws would be enough to coax him, it was easier to coax than a child.

This night Wu Xun really acted like a child, and he wanted to taste what the child ate. Ning Bo finally said with emotion: "Master, if you have the appetite of a young hero, this old servant will not worry."

With a smile on the corner of Lu Xi's mouth, he followed Wu Xun who was walking ahead and skipping home with his hands behind his back: "The child is still growing."

The bouncing figure stopped, Wu Shaoxia's ears were naturally sharp, he turned his head and narrowed his eyes: "You are only a child, we are obviously the same age."

"Really?" Lu Xi folded the fan, "Just ask any passer-by and see who is older between the two of us."

"That's because you are too anxious to grow up." Wu Xun murmured in a low voice, resolutely refusing to admit that it was because Lu Xun looked stable that he looked older than him, but then again, Xiao Xun was like this when they first met when they were young He looks calmer than children of the same age.

Lu Xi had another thing in mind, when could he trick little Heipi into calling him brother.

……

When he returned to the house after eating and drinking, the bright moon was already high in the sky, and Lu Xun arranged Wu Xun in the north room.

Wu Xun glanced at it, and the decoration here looked like the owner's wing room: "This is your room? Do you sleep with me?"

Lu Xi replied vaguely: "Yeah."

"how about you?"

Lu Xi rubbed his head: "Can I still have no place to live?" Then he reminded a few more words, there is well water behind the house, if you want hot water to take a bath, you can find Bo Ning, and if you have other things, you can call him. Okay, go to bed early, you can sleep as long as you want tomorrow, then Lu Xi left.

Wu Xun didn't make a sound, stood at the door with his luggage in his arms and looked at the deserted master bedroom, then turned his head to look at Lu Xi's back, and pursed his lips.

The bright moon hangs high, and the immortals in white clothes are supposed to be beautiful on a good day.

But Wu Xun inexplicably felt that Lu Xun at this moment was extraordinarily cold and indifferent against the backdrop of this white dress.

***

"Boom!—Boom! Boom!"

"Zishi three o'clock—safe and sound—"

Except for the watchman and the yamen patrolling the street, there are no pedestrians on the street, and only those who are far away from the houses are still lit.

The brothel brothel.But in the deep alley where he should have slept and rested, there is still a room with an oil lamp lit.

"Master, Gao Hongyi, the owner of Tongyuan Pawnshop, is not from the capital. He came to the capital alone 15 years ago to open Tongyuan Pawnshop."

"You mean that his first job in the capital was a pawnshop?" It was Lu Xi who was speaking, and a tall and thin figure in black clothes knelt on one knee beside his leg, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The man in black replied: "Yes, Tongyuan Pawnshop is one of the three major pawnshops in the capital. Although there are not as many branches in other places as Xianmao and Mingda, in recent years the business in the capital has been mainly eaten away by him."

"Who else is there in his family?"

"There is only one newlywed wife who has been married for one year."

"One year? His age doesn't look young, is it a continuation?"

"Gao Hongyi is forty-two this year. Although his wife Li Shi is only twenty, she is his first wife. His subordinates have not found out his previous marriage status, and they have no children."

"Da Er, go and check his wife's natal family."

"Yes."

Then the people in the room left but the door was still closed, and the room returned to silence, only the sound of pages being turned, and a different voice came from the roof after a short while: "Your Highness, I have something to understand."

"Why are you here?" Obviously, this visitor was unexpected by Lu Xi, and his voice became serious, "Is there something wrong in the palace?"

The person who came was dressed similarly to the previous man in black, but the difference was that the cuffs were embroidered with golden scales with gold thread: "Reporting to Your Highness, everything is fine. It was Your Majesty who asked your subordinates to give you a message."

"You said."

"Your Majesty said, eat well and have fun, pay attention to safety, and act carefully."

"It's gone?" After a long while, Lu Xi smiled and said, "What else is there? Why are you hesitating?"

"...Princess Anping went to Jincui Palace to make a scene in the afternoon."

"Go with her."

The visitor was obviously shocked, so he heard Lu Xi slowly say: "Let her make trouble, but you must send someone to protect Anping's safety. Concubine Li has always been ruthless, and Gu is even more worried that Anping will follow her way."

"Your Majesty has ordered the 12 Linwei members to submit all internal and external matters to His Majesty's command, but there is something that I don't understand, so I dare to ask Your Majesty to enlighten me."

"Say."

"This subordinate doesn't understand why His Royal Highness knows that Concubine Li is cruel, but still wants the Princess to go down to risk herself."

"Because Anping is Gu's younger sister, and also the daughter of the Queen Mother, if you really want to stop her and not allow her to do anything, you will drive yourself crazy. And Anping knows how to measure, so she won't hurt Lady Ying."

"Can……"

"Anping will be at ease when he goes to trouble Concubine Li. If Gu doesn't move and Anping doesn't move, Concubine Li will definitely find something wrong with her mind."

"My subordinate understands."

"Gu only explain this time, not the next time." The voice was actually colder than the coldness of the night, and it forced people to break out in a cold sweat.

"The subordinate understands that it is the subordinate who has overstepped."

"Also send a message to father, queen and queen on behalf of Gu, be sure to take care of yourself."

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

When Lu Xi was the only one left in the room, looking at the flickering candles, Lu Xi frowned, knowing that the capital city is a deep place, why did he take Xiao Heipi together?He even regretted the invitation he made in childhood.

It was late at night, and there was only the rustling of leaves outside the courtyard. After Lu Xi dropped a batch of red on the last memorial, another figure landed at his feet, sorted the memorial on the table and wrapped it in a box. In the backpack.This is not the imperial father's Linwei, just like the person who reported Gao Hongyi's information to him just now, this is the dark guard who followed him since childhood.Soon, the memorial on the table was packed.Lu Xi murmured: "Should Gu not let him come to the capital?"

An Yi was the oldest of the dark guards, and he also watched the correspondence between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Wu Xun, and even delivered the letters himself, but Wu Xun thought that the carrier pigeon had become a master and learned to pick letters by himself.He naturally knew who the "he" in Lu Xi's words was referring to, but he knew better that the master didn't really want an answer. The origin of the clothed people, they are—”

Speaking of this, An Yi's voice stopped abruptly, and then his figure disappeared into the room, because a figure appeared on the window pane of the door.

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

After speaking, Lu Xi also realized that something was wrong, got up and picked up the latch on the door. Standing at the door was Wu Xun, holding a bowl of steaming noodles in his hand.

"Xun'er?"

The steaming noodles were placed on the table. Wu Xun glanced at the abrupt cinnabar-colored ink on the table, as if he saw it but didn't see it, and pushed them aside: "Eat noodles."

"how……"

"You didn't eat a bite at night, don't think I didn't see it." Wu Xun wrinkled his nose and said with a straight face, "If you don't eat, your body will be ruined. You still don't sleep so late."

Looking at the steaming noodles in front of him, Lu Xi's brain seemed to slow down a bit: "I can't sleep."

"That's hungry." Wu Xun put the chopsticks on the noodle bowl with a "snap", "Hurry up, I made this bowl of noodles myself, no one else has touched it."

Under such momentum, who would dare not to eat it, even the current emperor would not dare to eat it, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not dare to.

Originally, Lu Xi really felt that he was not hungry, but he didn't expect that after taking a bite, the feeling of hunger swept over him, and soon a bowl of steaming hot noodles was eaten, and finally Lu Xi even drank the noodle soup Cleaned up.

Wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Lu Xi smiled and said, "Xun'er is very skilled."

Wu Xun's ears were a little red, and he walked out with a bowl to hide his shyness, and muttered as he walked, "It's just ordinary noodles."

Lu Xi's smile deepened. What he didn't say was that the last time he ate such ordinary noodles was when his mother was in good health.

Lu Xi blew out the candle lamp and went to bed, and didn't close the door again. Unexpectedly, the door was pushed open again.He heard the sound of putting things down, something was hung on the bed frame, and then he was pushed in: "Go in."

The bed is not too small, and it won't be crowded if one more person sleeps there, but Lu Xi was already stunned: "You want to sleep with me?"

"I'm not used to sleeping alone." Wu Xun squeezed onto the bed while speaking, "I'm sleepy, go to bed quickly."

This feeling of a dove occupying a magpie's nest... Lu Xi couldn't help laughing, he looked at the moonlight outside the window, and at the long stick hanging by the bed through the moonlight, feeling inexplicably at ease.

Looking at Wu Xun's dark hair, Lu Xun's eyelids were a little heavy, and he remembered in a daze that he hugged his little bamboo horse.

But Wu Xun, who was sleepy before, could only let Lu Jin hold him in the dark with his ears red. All he could see with his eyes was Lu Jin's skirt. He felt that he could count how many gold threads were embroidered on the skirt.

Yes, why not sleep next door tomorrow.
