Qili'an said earlier that she was disappointed not only because the person Zhou Xingyun was looking for was Isabel, not her. The more important reason was that after four years, Zhou Xingyun could not recognize her, even though she had a full face four years ago.
Red Spot, he should also realize from her clothes that she is the girl he 'likes'.
Qili'an returned to the tent, hurriedly pulled out the mirror, looked at her pretty face carefully, and then sighed sadly... She was much prettier now than four years ago, and it was understandable that Zhou Xingyun couldn't recognize her.
However, one thing made Qili'an very happy. When she was suffering from an "incurable disease", she thought that the red spots on her face would never disappear. However, just a few days after Zhou Xingyun showed his love to her, the spots on her body disappeared.
The girl could only sigh that it was a blessing from God. She met a good man at the worst time in her life. This year, Qili'an attended the Young Heroes Conference. To put it bluntly, she came here because of Zhou Xingyun.
After Zhou Xingyun was 'dumped' by her unintentionally at the last Young Heroes Conference, he was not only scolded by people in the world, but also fell into despair. He became a prodigal, a romantic, cheating and even infecting the female disciples of Biyuan Villa.
clean.
"Qi Li'an is a sinner." Qi Li'an blamed herself deeply. If she hadn't been young and ignorant, Zhou Xingyun would not have fallen into this state. It is true that when she was at her ugliest, Zhou Xingyun did not dislike her, so when he
Even when he was the most badass, she would not give up on him.
Qili'an silently encouraged herself in her heart. As the culprit that caused all this, she must let Zhou Xingyun cheer up again. At least...she wanted him to know that she did not reject him back then because she was too moved and too moved.
Timid and overwhelmed, he cried and ran away.
In short, Qili'an decided a few years ago that no matter how dissolute Zhou Xingyun became, how bad, how corrupted he became, even if the outcome was destined to be a complete tragedy for her, she would not abandon Zhou Xingyun...
Back to the subject, Qili'an hid in her tent and speculated wildly, imagining how Zhou Xingyun would be in trouble with her in the near future and then abandon her, how she would love, hate, and part ways...
But Zhou Xingyun stood outside Isabel's tent, wondering whether the girl would use a honey trap on him tonight, or whether he should simply give his first time to Sister Xuannu, even if Isabel started to treat him.
It’s better to give up in the end.
Anyway, Zhou Xingyun never dreamed that the seemingly gentle and quiet Qili'an would have all kinds of thoughts about him.
"Is there anyone inside? Is Sister Xuannv there? Xiaosheng is disturbing me." Zhou Xingyun stood outside for two or three seconds, but when no one responded, he took it upon himself to open the door curtain and enter the tent.
Zhou Xingyun looked around. The candle lights in the room were bright, and there were delicacies and wine for the guests on the table. Isabel was sitting at the table waiting for the guests.
"Please forgive me, little lady, for asking me. Mr. Zhou is attending the banquet tonight as a disciple of Jianshu Villa, or as a servant of the imperial court."
"Both..." Zhou Xingyun responded in confusion. Even if Qi Li'an didn't remind him, he still knew to be careful about Isabel. Now that he has inherited the strange ability, he felt that he couldn't resist the woman. If it were his normal self, he would have given up long ago.
Isabel led him by the nose.
"Master Zhou, please sit down." Isabel poured a glass of wine and motioned for Zhou Xingyun to sit opposite her.
"Headmaster of Xuanbing Palace, you are so polite. Why did you invite me to meet here tonight?" Zhou Xingyun sat down generously, even though before entering the tent, he begged Isabel to use her beauty on him with ten thousand wishes.
However, when facing the girl, he still corrected his mentality to avoid falling into her trap.
"There is no special meaning. I just want to be a close friend with Mr. Zhou. Come on, little lady, do it first." Isabel raised her glass and drank it down.
"Miss Isabel, drinking alcohol is harmful to the body and mind." Zhou Xingyun drank a glass of strong wine with his lady in a polite manner, and then cut off Isabel's idea of getting him drunk with one sentence.
Zhou Xingyun glanced sideways at the two large jars of fine wine beside the table, and basically guessed that Isabel wanted to use the beauty's way of persuading him to drink, to make him confused, and to ask him for all kinds of information.
Zhou Xingyun originally wanted to pretend to be drunk and find out the details of the other party, but he would become very passive if he did so. He had dinner in Haolin's young room this morning. He had already seen how powerful Isabel was when she took the initiative, so tonight
It's better to drink less, lest the beautiful woman thinks that he is easy to deal with and will not take him seriously.
"The miracle doctor is indeed a miracle doctor. No matter when and where he is, he always has benevolence and justice and thinks about the health of others."
"Sister Xuannv really thinks too highly of my younger brother. The miracle doctor is just a false promise. In fact, I am just a wanderer."
"That's because people in the world are ignorant and have misunderstood Mr. Zhou. If I openly announce it tomorrow and tell all the martial arts people that the prodigal son of Jianshu Villa is actually the famous young miracle doctor in the capital and the supervisor of this year's Young Heroes Conference, I guarantee that
Everyone will look at you differently."
Threat! This is a naked threat! Although Isabel smiled like a spring breeze, Zhou Xingyun clearly understood that this was a threat, and it was Isabel's intimidation method to retaliate against his refusal to drink. Subtext: Don't toast.
Drinking fine wine, he has the leverage to fall into her hands.
"Sister Xuannv is joking. I, a sesame mung bean official, will be embarrassed if I tell you."
"I don't think so. Mr. Zhou is young, he is in the fifth position of the imperial family, and he is the future grandson-in-law of the current Taifu. Now he is shouldering the important responsibilities of the court, attending the Young Heroes Conference, he is really a rising star in the court, and his future is bright.
There is a limit. If the little girl is interested in someone, it must be a handsome young man with both civil and military skills like Mr. Zhou."
"No, no, Sister Xuannu deserves the prize."
Isabel was like eating honey, making Zhou Xingyun very happy, especially the last sentence, which not only told Zhou Xingyun that she did not like the man, but also hinted to Zhou Xingyun that he met her criteria for choosing a mate.
If the girl were not a rose with thorns, Zhou Xingyun would be happy to pursue the victory, remove the word "like", and become Isabel's ideal person.
After finishing her flattering words, Isabel turned to the topic and asked Zhou Xingyun with a puzzled look: "Mr. Zhou, I am presumptuous, why do you pretend to conceal your identity as a disciple of Jianshu Villa and represent the imperial court as a young hero?
Supervisor? Are you... taking any actions that would be inappropriate to reveal your true identity?"
"Actually, it's nothing. Sister Xuannv, you know that I have a bad reputation in the world. If everyone knows that the supervisor of this year's Young Heroes Conference is actually a swindler, everyone will have a hard time."
Zhou Xingyun's silly explanation was that the Empress Dowager knew that he was a member of the martial arts community and was proficient in medical skills, so she simply appointed him as the supervisor of the Young Heroes Conference.
The emperor's order cannot be violated. He can't tell the empress dowager bluntly. In fact, I am a prodigal from Jianshu Villa. I am notorious in the world. Please replace me with a representative as the supervisor.
Besides, even if Zhou Xingyun's reputation is not bad, he will participate in the Young Heroes Conference, so naturally he cannot compete with others as a court supervisor. What a crime it is to beat a court official! Who will dare to take action against him then?
So camouflage can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble!
"Young master Zhou is right. You need different identities to enter and exit different occasions and handle different affairs. The adults have to hold multiple positions to facilitate the execution of official duties. The little girl is really stupid and can't even understand such a simple truth. I hope you won't be surprised.
But, how is this year’s Young Heroes Convention different from previous years? Is there anything special that needs your secret supervision? Could it be that... someone in the DPRK wants to collude with martial arts people to rebel?"
"Haha..." Zhou Xingyun smiled awkwardly and did not reply to Isabel because he knew that the beauty had deliberately brought the topic to the court affairs.
From the information revealed in Isabel's words, Zhou Xingyun can almost conclude that the beauty is very concerned about the trends in the government and the opposition, otherwise how could she be involved in rebellion. This is not equivalent to telling Zhou Xingyun that she is very familiar with the political situation, and even knows that someone is deliberately plotting rebellion.
To be honest, there are many people who know that the Sixteenth Emperor's son is planning to rebel, but they know that this kind of secret that cannot be made public but is tacitly known will never be spread around to let ordinary people know it before they are completely torn apart.
Or martial arts people listen to it.
Unless the other party has already chosen a camp like Fengtian City and the Leshan Sect, people in the world will not meddle in other people's business and inquire deeply into the affairs of the court. After all, if you are not careful, you will lose everything and bring about the disaster of annihilation.
.
Isabel got the news from nowhere and knew that someone in the DPRK was plotting rebellion. Zhou Xingyun understood the implication of her words and obviously wanted to get involved in the DPRK affairs and get a share of the pie.
"The Empress Dowager is currently in charge of the affairs of the Holy Dynasty. There has been no coronation ceremony for the Crown Prince. Does Mr. Zhou know why?" Isabel inadvertently moved to Zhou Xingyun, and gradually sat down next to him, her plump Oupai
'Close to the arm, the boy's spirit immediately cheered up.
Now that Isabel is not wearing a cloak, her snow-white shoulders are clearly visible, and now the beauty is deliberately leaning towards her. Zhou Xingyun can appreciate the various scenery by looking sideways. It is so beautiful that he wants to howl like a wolf in the sky.
"That...it's because it can't be held." Zhou Xingyun took the words with disappointment and moved towards the situation that Isabel wanted to see.
"Why? Doesn't the Empress Dowager not want the Crown Prince to ascend the throne? Or is it that the time has not yet matured and the Empress Dowager is afraid that someone will usurp the throne if she holds the enthronement ceremony?"
"That's about it." Zhou Xingyun opened his mouth with a look of enjoyment and happily ate the small dried meat fed by Isabel. He was so embarrassed that he even shamelessly stuck out his tongue and disgusted the girl with her finger. Fortunately, Isabel
Bei Er is very generous. If it were any other woman, she would definitely slap her in the face and call her a pervert and a thief.
It smells so good! It smells so good! Zhou Xingyun felt like he was about to explode. Isabel's unique scent made him restless. If the last trace of greed hadn't kept him calm, he would have transformed into a beast.
