"I..." Zhuo Ya really wanted to tell Xu Zizhen's evil deeds in detail, but she really couldn't open her mouth and couldn't continue after saying a word.
Li Luoyan chuckled and took her hand: "I understand even if you don't tell me. Brother Xu is not good at making jokes, but my sister is pretty good. For the past six months, I have tried to make Brother Xu make fun of me, but I can't.
have to."
Zhuo Ya was really speechless now. Li Luoyan's words hit her heart. You must know that during the days when she was returning to Tubo, she also missed Xu Zizhen every day and night, but suffered from not being able to see him. At that time, she also
Have you ever thought about how nice it would be if Xu Zizhen was in front of you? Even if he made some half-hearted jokes to me.
Xu Zizhen came over and started the conversation: "Okay, okay, let's have a good time meeting each other. Don't make the atmosphere so solemn. Luo'er came to meet my mother."
Li Luoyan was shocked. She knew that Xu Zizhen was an orphan, so why did a mother suddenly appear? Although Hu Sanniang had been around for a long time, Xixia's sources of information were not accurate to this extent.
Then the meeting started. Li Luoyan blushed and held the junior ceremony before meeting Hu Sanniang, and then greeted Su San, Linzhi and the others. It was a mess and lively.
The leader of the honor guard came over and asked: "Your Highness, it's getting late, should we go back to the palace first?"
Li Luoyan instantly regained the momentum that a princess should have, nodded slightly, and the team leader shouted: "Your Highness, Princess, come back to the palace!"
…
There is still a long way to go from here to Xingqing Mansion. The group of people waited until dark before entering the city. There was no change at the city gate, as if no one knew that Xu Zizhen was coming.
Xu Zizhen was surprised, and at the same time he felt a little unhappy. After all, he was already the consort, but no one came out to greet him? Is my presence so low?
Not long after arriving at the gate of the palace, Xu Zizhen looked at the groups of forbidden troops at the gate and felt a little sad. He pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool to find Li Luoyan, and was thrown out of here. Times have changed, and this time he has returned with glory. Why?
Still so unpopular?
While he was feeling unbalanced, Li Luoyan opened a curtain and waved him over, saying in a low voice: "Father is waiting for you. I will ask Yu Qi to take you in. Don't let others know."
Xu Zizhen suddenly realized, by the way, old man Li Qianshun was still in the stage of "serious illness and critical illness", and the army that had no drink was still waiting for Zhong Shizhong to start fighting with the Xixia army because of this.
Yu Qi approached very low-key, Xu Zizhen also dismounted, told everyone to leave for a while, followed Yu Qi around half a circle and slipped in through a small door.
This was not Xu Zizhen's first time entering the palace, and he still had some memories of the layout here, but he soon discovered that Yu Qi was taking him on a road he had never walked before. The two walked through the night for less than half an hour.
Later, we came to a small, remote and deserted garden.
Yu Qi gestured to Xu Zizhen to stop, then turned around and knocked respectfully on the door a few times, two long, one short, and one long. The door opened a crack, revealing half of a vigilant face, and Yu Qi whispered
Said: "The prince-in-law is here."
The man nodded and opened the door wider. Yu Qi looked around, pushed Xu Zizhen in, and whispered: "Mr. Xu, I'll wait for you here."
Xu Zizhen was fine at first, but they made him a little nervous. He carefully got into the door. The man closed the door and led Xu Zizhen in. It was pitch dark in the garden, and the man only held an angry lantern in his hand.
The dim light barely illuminated the road on the ground. Xu Zizhen's heart was beating fast, and he suddenly felt like he was playing Resident Evil.
After crossing the path and turning a few corners, the man led Xu Zizhen to stop outside a house. He knocked on the door rhythmically a few more times, and another man led Xu Zizhen inside.
There was no light outside the door, but it was finally bright after entering the house. When Xu Zizhen entered, he discovered that the doors and windows of this room were all covered with thick paper. Naturally, there was nothing strange about it from the outside.
There was a table in the room. Sitting at the table was an old man, holding a teacup in his hand. He was looking at Xu Zizhen with a smile. It was Li Qianshun who was pretending to be ill.
"Boy, you are here."
Xu Zizhen was overjoyed and was not polite. He went up and sat down at the table and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, aren't all the Three Jue Halls destroyed? Why do you still hide yourself so tightly?"
Li Qianshun laughed when he heard this: "It's not because of you little brat, do you think I'm happy to stay here every day? Just so you can give me an accurate answer, when do you plan to take action against Nianweihe?"
"This...I haven't thought about it yet." Xu Zizhen said after hesitation, but as soon as he said this, Li Qianshun's face darkened, and he quickly said, "Hurry, hurry."
Li Qianshun was not so easy to fool, and asked: "What's a quick way? What are you going to do next? Tell me the whole story."
"Uh..." Xu Zizhen was at a loss for words and could only roll his eyes and think hard. After a moment, he said, "Let's do this, Your Majesty. Isn't the second prince temporarily acting in charge of state affairs now? In my opinion, you should let him continue to act in this way. Even if there are some golden people secretly investigating for a while, they won't be able to find anything. When the limelight is over, you can return to take charge of national affairs or travel abroad if you like, that's up to you."
Li Qianshun rolled his eyes: "You also know that there are Jin people investigating? I can tell you that Tianluo's people have been wandering around the palace looking for me. He is a cautious person. Tens of thousands of soldiers have eaten What the horse chews is not a small number, so he naturally wants to find out."
Xu Zizhen said: "No wonder you made this place look like a ghost cave... ah no, it's like a forbidden area."
Li Qianshun glared at him again and said, "Do you know how uncomfortable I am? I can't go out every day. You can try it for me later."
Xu Zizhen couldn't help but feel happy. This old man Li Qianshun is really interesting. When he pretended to be a coward, he was very cowardly, but in his heart he was more capable than anyone else. The big Xiao family was completely wiped out with just a little negligence. Now it's over. , completely revealed his true nature. Xu Zizhen never expected that this old man would be so attached to him. He spoke and spoke in the same way as me. He looked less like an emperor and more like a man who had been in the world all year round.
Li Qianshun sneered and said: "Although this plan of yours makes me very upset, it is always beneficial to me in Daxia. Wu Qibuyer wants to swallow up the northwest end of the Song Dynasty. From now on, I will no longer have a border with the Song Dynasty. All transactions have to go through him, so why don’t you just give the money to him? Do you think I’m stupid?”
Xu Zizhen took the opportunity to flatter him: "Of course you are not stupid, you are as smart as anything."
Li Qianshun chuckled: "Can I have your spirit? I cheated a Tubo princess with nothing. I can tell you, do you want to marry my Luo'er for such a cheap price? No way!"
