Hongli frowned and said, "Eniang is saying that the second brother is secretly meeting Xu Guiren?"
"The second elder brother is not a fool. He knows very well that meeting Xu Guiren in private is a serious sin, so he will definitely try his best to avoid everyone's eyes and ears."
"Why don't I send more people to Hui'an Temple to guard them, so that no matter how cunning the second brother is, he can't avoid everyone." As soon as Hongli finished speaking, Ling Ruo said: "Hongshi is worse than you think.
Be cunning. Once you find that you have no chance, you will definitely retreat and will not push in."
Upon hearing this, Hongli said anxiously: "What should we do? Will the trap you and my aunt have put so much effort into become useless?"
"I can't say it's useless." Ling Ruo gently stroked the edge of the table and said, "Do you know who among the Ouchi guards sent the second time?"
Hongli was just about to say that he didn't know, when he suddenly noticed the smile on Ling Ruo's lips, and his mind quickly turned, and he asked, "Is it possible that Liu Hu is also among them?"
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "Yes, when your emperor Ama wanted to send the imperial guards there, I happened to be there, so I recommended Liu Hu to him. With him here, Hui'an Temple will definitely not be a success this month."
OK."
Things were just as Ling Ruo expected. For more than half a month, Liu Hu had been guarded outside the hospital by Mrs. Xu. He didn't feel it at first, but as time went by, he began to feel something was wrong. Moreover, before he came, he had been warned by Concubine Xi,
Ask him to pay more attention to Xu Guiren.
That night, while patrolling and keeping vigil, he said to the other guards: "You guys stay here and I'll go in and take a look."
One of them kindly reminded: "Chief, Xu Guiren has told us that we are not allowed to enter the courtyard after nightfall. If Xu Guiren finds out, I'm afraid he will be unhappy."
"I was just walking around the courtyard. How could Mr. Xu find out? Besides, we were ordered by the emperor to protect Mr. Xu. If something happens to Mr. Xu because of our poor guarding, who can afford it?" Who said this?
They didn’t dare to say anything, and no one objected to Liu Hu’s entry.
After entering the yard, Liu Hu quietly walked through the bluestone paved ground and came to the outside of the house without a trace of light. When he first approached, he vaguely heard voices, but after putting his ear to the door,
He couldn't hear any sound. It was strange. Could it be that he heard it wrong?
Just as he was about to get closer, the door suddenly opened, and Ms. Xu walked out. She saw Liu Hu standing there against the door, with a strange look on his face: "Leader Liu, why are you here? Didn't I order you to go down?
Do you want all of you to guard outside the hospital? It really shocked me."
Being bumped into by Mrs. Xu, even Liu Hu was a little confused for a while. After a while, he laughed and said: "To tell you the truth, I am afraid that someone will break into the courtyard while the subordinates and others are not paying attention, which will be detrimental to the noble."
, so come in and take a look, you deserve to be disturbed by the noble man!" While he was talking, he quietly looked into the room. Through the moonlight, he did not find anything unusual in the room, nor did he notice anything unusual.
I found someone. It seemed that I had heard wrong just now.
"With Leader Liu and so many imperial guards here, Hui'an Temple is impregnable. No one can break in unnoticed." Saying this, Mrs. Xu added: "But if Leader Liu breaks in like this,
I don’t have to sleep tonight.”
Mr. Liu lowered his head and said, "I am also worried about your safety, and I hope you will forgive me."
Mrs. Xu said without any pretense: "Okay, please step back."
"Hey!" Liu Hu retreated as he was told, and Mrs. Xu also closed the door tightly after he left. At the same time, a figure emerged from behind the door.
It wasn't until the door was closed that Mrs. Xu let out a deep breath, holding her chest that kept beating "plop" and "plop" and whispered: "It was so dangerous, I almost got discovered."
Hongshi said gloomily: "Is this guard's surname Liu?"
"Yes, his name is Liu Hu, and he is the leader of these guards, but he was sent from behind to protect me."
Xu's words made Hongshi narrow his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Liu Hu, Concubine Xi really used you as a bait to lure me in. Fortunately, I noticed a shadow flashing outside in time, otherwise Liu Hu would have discovered it.
It will be a big trouble."
"What kind of bait?" Mrs. Xu didn't know anything about this matter. After learning about the secret struggle between Concubine Xi and the empress, her face turned pale and she said: "Then what should I do now? You show up here.
Could it be that you took advantage of their hearts and gave them an excuse to deal with you?"
"If you want to deal with me, you have to see if they have the real ability." Hongshi said coldly and then said: "But this Liu Hu has already become suspicious of you sending them outside the hospital. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it again in the future.
Coming over."
"I know." Although Mrs. Xu was very reluctant to let go, but it was related to Hongshi's life. Even if she was reluctant to let go, she had to give up. "There is just one thing I don't understand. Why would Concubine Xi think of using me? You and I are like each other.
It’s like water, without any intersection.”
Hongshi was silent for a while, but in the end he did not tell the truth, but said: "Perhaps it is because they know that I have met you in Yikun Palace and have a good impression of you, so they thought of using you." Without waiting for Xu,
When asked again, he said: "Okay, while Liu Hu is not here now, I will leave. If you and I meet again, it will probably be in the palace."
"Yes." Ms. Xu nodded sadly and silently buttoned up the unbuttoned buttons for Hongshi. These days of lingering together made her fall in love with Hongshi even more. Although she knew that they would be separated sooner or later, they really
At this moment, I suddenly couldn't help but feel sad.
Hongshi saw her loss and sadness, and planted a deep kiss on her forehead, "I will definitely try my best to see you, don't be sad!"
Faced with his words, Mrs. Xu said nervously: "No! Don't come. If the emperor or Concubine Xi finds out, you will die. I am very satisfied to be able to be your husband and wife for these few days."
, I just hope that in the next life, you and I will no longer be elder brothers and nobles."
Hongshi hugged her and said softly: "In the next life, we will definitely be together openly, and in this life, I will not give up on you. Wait for me, and one day we will be together again."
Ms. Xu forced herself to break free from Hong Shi's arms, and said with deep reluctance and tears: "You should leave quickly."
"Yes." Hongshi caressed Mrs. Xu's cheek again, climbed over the courtyard wall, and left quietly.
At this time, Liu Hu was talking to several guards outside, and his mind was constantly thinking about the situation just now. Could it be that he was really too worried? But why did he always feel that something was wrong?
"Chief, what are you thinking about?" One of the guards asked: "By the way, was there nothing in the yard just now?"
"It's okay. Everything is fine with Mr. Xu. Please continue to guard him." Liu Hu said casually, but when he turned around, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and his whole body became stiff.
