Soon after, people began to rush around in the streets and alleys to tell people an explosive news. It was said that Ming Huan'er, the daughter of Ming Xiang Ming Kui'an, an important minister of the imperial court, had offended the little princess of the Fourth Prince's Palace, and was finally forced to hang a plaque of Ming Xiang's Palace on her back.
, kowtowed three times at a time, all the way to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Along the way, I fainted several times, but I didn't dare not to kneel down.
Many people gathered around to watch.
At this moment, Ming Xiangfu's face was completely thrown away by Ming Huan'er, and Ming Xiang couldn't hold his head up anymore.
Ming Kui'an's old face showed a look of unwillingness, "The third generation of loyal and loyal people was treated like this by the cold-faced Fourth Prince of Yama today, causing the original self to lose all face. I must go to the Queen to ask for it."
Let's get justice! If nothing else works, I will join forces with the Second Prince, Third Prince, and Sixth Prince to overthrow him again!"

"Fourth Master, where are we... going?" After leaving the Ming Prime Minister's Mansion, Qiluo was taken back to the Prince's Mansion by Luo Nian. Zhu Minglie asked Liusu to stay, and the two of them walked on foot without taking a carriage.
Walking along the road, walking, walking, walking...
After walking for a long time, Zhu Minglie did not speak.
Liusu followed him, feeling that the arrogant and sycophantic man just now was gone. At this moment, his back looked slightly... lonely.
What kind of grief is hidden in his heart?
"Follow me to an important place." Zhu Minglie turned around and said, "I haven't been there for a long time, and I miss you a little."
"Yeah." Liusu saw that his expression seemed to be extremely solemn, so he didn't ask any more questions, and just followed him and kept walking forward.
The scenery along the road began to become deserted, and the shady green trees disappeared, replaced by a few sparse, almost withered trees.
Compared with the prosperous Yaojing City, this place is far behind.
barren,
desolate,
desolate,
Finally, Zhu Minglie stopped at a dilapidated tea stall with no one in front or behind.
On a piece of old and yellowed white paper, there is a dimmed word "tea" written on it.
As soon as Zhu Minglie arrived, an elderly man with a stooped back and gray hair came out to greet him——
"Sir, you're here. It's been a long time since you've been here." The old man at the tea stall seemed to know Zhu Minglie, but he didn't know his true identity.
When he saw that the person accompanying Zhu Minglie was not the young master's personal guard this time, but a woman, he immediately took a few more glances at Liusu.
Liusu gave him a kind smile, and he nodded towards Liusu.
"Same as before." After saying that, Zhu Minglie took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to the old uncle.
The old uncle said nothing more, took the money and went into the small house.
Zhu Minglie took the lead and sat down at the tea stall. After Liusu looked at it, he also sat down.
How did he come to this desolate place? Has anything ever happened here that he will never forget? Liusu's mind is full of doubts, but it's hard for her to ask. She doesn't dare to easily
Inquire.
"Young master, here you go, please use it." After a while, the old uncle came out with a teapot, two cups, and two large cakes, placed them on the low table, and then went in again, clearing the space.
Leave it to the two of them.
The two of them sat there for a long time, without any customers coming, and they seemed to be reminiscing about something.
"Does this tea stall exist for you?" Liusu finally asked his doubts, but he did not dare to ask too detailed questions for fear of touching things deep in his heart that he did not want to mention.
"Yes, this is the last place where she and I parted." Zhu Minglie said, picked up the big cake in front of him, and looked at it.
"She? Who is she?" Liusu asked.
"I have not seen her for many, many years. It has been so long that I am afraid that she has forgotten what I look like."
"Fourth Master... are you talking about that... woman in Jinse Palace?" Liusu thought of Zhu Minglie's deep and sad figure in front of Jinse Palace. He gave people the same feeling now as he did then.
Zhu Minglie raised his head and looked at her. Liusu was startled and quickly explained, "I, I, I was just guessing."
Zhu Minglie picked up the big cake, took a bite, and said, "I miss her too."
"I miss her, why don't you go see her?" Liusu also picked up a steamed bun and took a bite - "Well, it's so... delicious. I like to eat this kind of hard, chewy flatbread.
Already."
"I can't just meet you when I meet you." Zhu Minglie said calmly, seemingly unconcerned, but Liusu could hear his slight... helplessness.
"Actually, Fourth Master, you don't have to worry that you will forget her because you haven't seen her for many years." Liusu said, putting down the cake in his hand, "There are some people who I have never even seen, but they have been remembered by me for so many years.
Yes." She lowered her head.
Zhu Minglie said that she was not allowed to mention what happened six years ago again, so she could only say so tactfully. However, she still felt a little disappointed in her heart, "I know you don't want to mention it again, and I won't mention it again in the future."
I will never mention it again, and I won’t remember the things you don’t want to remember. I once thought it was so important, who knew... Haha..."
Liusu said, picking up the tea bowl in his hand and taking a sip of tea.
Zhu Minglie stretched out his hand and pushed aside the bangs on her forehead. His thick fingertips touched her forehead, eyelids, down her cheeks, and finally stopped on her lips.
