The carriage stopped in front of the quiet courtyard, the last ray of light disappeared into the sky, and the streets and alleys were outlined into clear black and white silhouettes.
With the support of the female guard, Bai Ruyue stepped out of the carriage gracefully on a luxurious sedan chair.
Li Nanke, who jumped out of the carriage first, came to the gate of his house, only to find that the gate was locked from the outside. He couldn't help but feel surprised.
At this time, the wife should usually be cooking.
"Your Highness, there is no one at home."
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Li Nanke immediately found an excuse to refuse the other party to enter his house, pointed at the copper lock and said loudly.
"you are not human?"
Bai Ruyue frowned slightly.
"Well……"
Li Nanke realized that this was his home and smiled awkwardly.
But thinking of the purpose of the other party's visit, he said: "Madam, she doesn't know where she has gone. It is estimated that she will come late. How about I take you to see other doctors first?"
"It's okay, I can wait."
Bai Ruyue said calmly.
In fact, the woman is not obsessed with entering the other person's home, but when the man deliberately refuses, she becomes stubborn.
You won't let me enter, but I still insist on entering.
"But……"
The man originally planned to say that he didn't have the key, but when he faced the woman's bright and beautiful eyes, he finally had the nerve to lie and said with a smile: "She should have gone out to buy groceries and will be back soon."
"Then I can enjoy a meal."
Bai Ruyue's naturally charming but elegant face showed a slight smile, and the skirt of her skirt kept dancing against her slender legs in the gentle breeze.
Li Nanke murmured something in a low voice and took out the key to open the door.
Maybe it was because the sky was dark and the keyhole in his house was relatively small, so Li Nanke couldn't put it in after a few attempts. He had to turn sideways and let the lantern in front of the house diagonally across the street borrow some light, aim it at the keyhole, and directly
Pressed it in.
As the key was turned, the copper lock finally opened with a "click" sound.
"Your Highness, please come in."
Li Nanke opened the courtyard door and made a gesture of invitation.
"You guys are waiting outside."
Bai Ruyue said something to the accompanying female guard, took lotus steps, and entered the small courtyard of Li Nanke's house.
In the yard, Sister Goose was lying on Master Gui's back, looking lazy.
Seeing Li Nanke coming, I just took a lazy look.
But when she found her husband entering the living room with the eldest princess, Sister Goose couldn't sit still, and quietly lurked in front of the threshold with two anthuriums in her hand, observing secretly.
The light in the living room is relatively dim.
Li Nanke lit the kerosene lamp and placed it on the table.
Bai Ruyue sat on the chair and looked around the room casually. Her slender waist outlined by the black belt was as narrow as a willow, fully demonstrating her proud figure.
She had been to Li Nanke's door several times, but never entered.
It's not because he is disgusted with Luo Qianqiu.
But ever since I had "close" contact with Li Nanke, I always felt that there was something weird when facing Luo Qianqiu. There was a hint of shame and apology in this weirdness.
"Your Highness, please have some tea."
Li Nanke brought tea.
"You can sit down, it's your own home anyway, you don't need to be restrained."
Luo Qianqiu looked at the respectful man with a little doubt in her heart.
When this man is outside, his behavior is always a little bit wild and free. But when he comes home, he suddenly becomes serious, which is quite uncomfortable.
Li Nanke sat on the chair respectfully, and was far away from the woman, with a distance of more than two meters.
Outside the door, Sister Goose stretched her long neck and continued to observe secretly.
Mr. Turtle wanted to join in the fun, but was slapped by Sister Goose with his wings, so he retracted his head into his shell and used it as a stone.
The man's seriousness is exchanged for a somewhat depressing silence.
Neither of them spoke, only silence.
"Go on."
Bai Ruyue rubbed her brows to remove some of the fatigue from her brows, and took the lead in breaking the silence.
What to say?
Li Nanke was startled.
Bai Ruyue took a sip of tea, her lips as crimson as the sunset shone with water under the dim light, and said in a sweet voice, "What happened on Phoenix Mountain."
"oh."
Li Nanke coughed dryly, and when he was about to speak, he didn't know what to say. After all, he had already said everything he needed to say on the carriage.
Remembering that the woman had said that she and Bai Fenghuang were "old friends," she asked, "Have you met Bai Fenghuang?"
"I've seen it."
"What kind of person is she?"
"A very extreme person." Bai Ruyue's tone was as cold as autumn wind, with a bit of emotion, "A very, very extreme person."
No wonder... Li Nanke murmured in his heart.
A woman who took off her clothes and went to a Taoist temple on the mountain to commit suicide is indeed extreme.
"Why do you insist on seeing her?"
"I don't insist on meeting her, I just want to know something through her."
"About Hongyu?"
"right."
Li Nanke turned to look outside the hall and found that Sister Goose, who had been secretly observing, was no longer around. He asked, "Why do you insist on investigating Hong Yu?"
"For myself, for my father, and for Dazhen."
The woman gave a very general answer.
But looking at the clear look in her eyes, you can see that this answer comes from the sincerity.
"But sometimes you and your father are at odds with each other."
Li Nanke once again raised this sensitive and pointed issue.
In the court, she chose to be in the same camp as Queen Lin Weiyang. She worked hard to implement new policies, disagreed with the old faction of the Supreme Emperor, and argued endlessly.
Under the court, she investigates Hong Yu without authorization.
No one knows what the eldest princess is thinking.
I originally thought that the woman would avoid answering, but after hesitating for a moment, the other party said softly: "I think sometimes what my father does is not necessarily right. What do you think?"
The woman looked straight at the man with her watery eyes.
Li Nanke remained silent.
This topic is not suitable for him to answer, nor is it suitable to extend it further.
The topic stalled and fell into silence again.
Bai Ruyue also knew that it was not appropriate to ask the other party, and was about to change the topic. But at this moment, a blazing heat swept through her body, like an erupting volcano,
The jade as white as jade is dyed with a crimson luster, like a gorgeous pink.
She tightened her hand holding the teacup, but she was afraid of crushing the teacup and hurting her hand, so she quickly let go and grabbed the armrest of the chair, and did the same with her other hand.
The ten slender jade fingers were broken and looked a little pale, as if they would be broken in the opposite direction at the next moment.
No, sister, are you sick again at this time?
Seeing Bai Ruyue's abnormality, Li Nanke immediately understood what was going on.
"I'll help you with the carriage!"
Li Nanke made a prompt decision and made a judgment.
This is absolutely impossible at home, who knows if my wife will suddenly appear.
But when Li Nanke held the other person's arm, Bai Ruyue hugged him tightly, like fire touching hay, and Li Nanke could even feel the other person's violently beating heart.
"roll!"
Bai Ruyue pushed the man away with her last bit of sobriety.
She staggered back into her chair, grabbed the tea cup and threw it in her face, but it didn't help.
Bits and pieces of tea beads slid down the woman's charming side face and got into her neck.
"Then I'll go out first and you can handle it yourself."
Li Nanke turned around and walked out of the hall without any hesitation.
But as soon as he took two steps, a soft body came up behind him and hugged him.
"Sister, you can do it, just believe in yourself."
Li Nanke was helpless and tried hard to break free.
But the other party seemed to be stuck together and couldn't break away at all. The hot breath on his back was also teasing his reason.
How about taking a risk?
Li Nanke was troubled in his heart.
However, at this very embarrassing moment, Li Nanke heard footsteps coming from the courtyard.
