The night is getting darker and darker, and the bright moon is covered with a layer of gray clouds, looming, and the evening wind carries a hint of unknown atmosphere that permeates Xiuzhou City.
A few dark shadows quickly passed through the streets and alleys, quietly jumping onto the roofs, quietly lifting the tiles from house to house, and looking into the eyes of each sleeping face.
Every night when she went to bed, Leng Changxi would take off her face. In order to prevent emergencies, Lingshan was arranged to rest in Leng Changxi's room, while Lingfeng guarded her in a small cubicle beside her.
Lingfeng leaned on the soft couch in the compartment and closed his eyes to take a nap. His clothes were intact and his soft sword was wrapped around his waist.
It was late at night, and the house was quiet. Apart from the even breathing, there was no other noise.
Suddenly, an extremely slight abnormal sound came from the roof. Although it was subtle, it could not escape Lingfeng's ears.
He opened his eyes suddenly, fully alert, and listened carefully to the movement on the roof of the beam. His hand slowly moved to his waist and touched the handle of the soft sword.
Obviously, this subtle sound did not escape Lingshan's ears. Lingshan quickly pulled the quilt over, covering Leng Changxi, and quickly lowered the curtain at the same time.
Leng Changxi was so tormented by Lingshan that she suddenly became more awake. She exchanged a look with Lingshan and immediately understood that there was a mouse!
It was impossible to regain her dignity at this time. The only way was to prevent those people from seeing her face! A flash of light flashed in her mind, and she hurriedly pulled Lingshan into the curtain.
While Lingshan was still confused, Leng Changxi turned over and pinned him down: "Don't say anything!"
Immediately afterwards, Leng Changxi buried her head in Lingshan's neck, as if lingering. Now Lingshan finally understood what kind of trick she was playing, and her face was suddenly filled with black lines.
The man in black on the top of the beam gently lifted up the tiles, and saw a red quilt on the couch, with a beautiful woman squinting her eyes and half-opening her skirt.
After comparing his memories, he found that he was not the person he was looking for, so he carefully covered the tiles and flew away.
When he could no longer feel the breath of the man in black, Lingshan pushed Leng Changxi away and glared at her with a blushing face.
But Leng Changxi just spread her hands innocently and said: "The situation is critical!"
"Well, that can't be like this!"
"Lingshan, I am a woman!" Leng Changxi arranged her clothes, got off the couch, and lit the oil lamp.
When Lingfeng heard the two people moving in the cubicle, he knew what kind of tricks Leng Changxi was playing. Based on his understanding of his sister, he was afraid that Leng Changxi would be punished again this time. He sympathized
While admiring Ling Shan, he also sympathized with Leng Changxi.
Sure enough, after arranging his clothes, Lingshan went out without looking back.
Lingfeng looked at Leng Changxi with a sneer on his face and said, "As long as you lie down and don't move, you can still solve the problem."
"But it's not as thorough as this. Those people will come again without seeing their faces..." Leng Changxi said the truth, but she gradually fell silent under Lingfeng's eyes.
Although Prince Xi's Mansion is not as magnificent as the Imperial Palace, it is still majestic and vast, and the mansion is magnificent, just like a palace. At this moment, this majestic mansion is bathed in the deep night, like a guard guarding the peaceful sleep of the people.
In Prince Xi's palace, the lights were brightly lit, and the guards were stationed on guard patrolling without any slack.
In the study room of the side courtyard, a middle-aged man stood in front of the desk in high spirits, holding a wolf hair and waving it around wantonly. The man was engrossed in the painting, and it seemed that he didn't even notice that someone gently pushed open the door.
Go into the house.
Seeing that he was so sleepless and forgetful of food, the visitor didn't bother him. He just stood aside quietly with his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I heard that there was something going on in the city tonight?" The man suddenly asked slowly and slowly, but the pen in his hand did not hear it.
"Yes, it is said that they conduct secret searches from house to house." The visitor replied respectfully.
"That child, has he arrived in Xiuzhou?" The man's voice was low and majestic, and there was no hint of joy.
"Yes, judging by the movement, it's probably been a day or two."
"That girl arrived in Xiuzhou, but she didn't come directly to see me. Shi Hao, what do you think she thought?" The pen in the man's hand stopped and he placed it on the edge of the inkstone. He slowly raised his head, Junyi
His facial features are engraved with the traces of time, and his inner thoughts cannot be seen in his majestic face.
When the visitor saw that he had stopped writing, he slowly raised his head. This man with a charming and handsome face was none other than Shi Hao who was supposed to be in Lin'an!
"My lord, I'm afraid you are worried about the pursuers ambushing outside the palace." Shi Hao responded calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Yuan'er risked being discovered and sent you back to Xiuzhou for the sake of this child. I'm really curious about this child!"
A gleam of brilliance bloomed in King Xi's deep eyes. He squinted slightly, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand regularly stroking the small goatee on his chin.
"I've taken sick leave from the Emperor's side. There won't be any surprises for the time being. Everything in the palace has been properly arranged, so Master Yuan's side is also going very smoothly." Shi Hao's words were obviously meant to put King Xi's peace of mind at ease.
This time Zhao Yuan went to war for Leng Changxi and had a head-on conflict with Gaozong, which ruined many of King Xi's plans and made King Xi unhappy. As a confidant of King Xi, Shi Hao naturally knew that.
In order to avoid conflicts between father and son, he had to say something to excuse Leng Changxi.
King Xi naturally understood what he heard. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Have you ever dealt with that girl in all these years of visiting the Leng family?"
"I've only met him, never interacted with him." Shi Hao answered truthfully.
"I heard that she is a good-looking idiot?" King Xi's voice was calm and calm.
"The rumors are untrue." Shi Hao recalled the scene where he saw Leng Changxi dancing at night at the Leng family, and then recalled Leng Changxi's outstanding performance at the Capital Ceremony. He could only say that the rumors were untrue.
"Oh? From your tone, her performance at the ceremony that day didn't seem to have been prepared in advance." King Xi was also present that day, and Leng Changxi's performance could only be described as stunning. The dance was absolutely unique and made her
He couldn't help but be impressed and admired.
"My subordinate Wu met her once at the Leng family when she was still very young." Shi Hao told King Xi truthfully what he saw that night.
King Xi squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. After a long time, he slowly said: "Shi Hao, can you find where that girl stayed in Xiuzhou?"
"I saw her two servants at Chen's Jiaozi Shop, but I didn't see her figure. She must have changed her appearance."
"Chen family?" King Xi raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it is said that she seems to have a close relationship with Chen Shaoxuan. I am afraid that the smooth escape this time is also related to Chen Shaoxuan, because Chen Shaoxuan just settled in Xiuzhou today."
"Shi Hao, when you told the emperor that you couldn't call Yuan'er back to the palace, that was what Yuan'er meant, right?" King Xi suddenly changed the subject and mentioned that when Zhao Yuan entered the palace and met the Queen with Zhao Yu, Gaozong asked Shi Hao
That sentence.
Shi Hao was stunned for a moment, and when he didn't know how to answer, he heard King Xi speak again: "Is it because of that girl from the Leng family?"
A bad premonition suddenly occurred, and Shi Hao remained silent.
"That seat is always lonely, but anyone who sits on it must not have weaknesses. Obviously Yuan'er doesn't understand this yet. It seems that you need to go and meet that girl in person." A meaningful smile appeared on the corners of King Xi's lips.
