Let Me Pursue You

This is really strange, Lu Shiqing has not yet figured out why the black dog would suddenly run to the bottom of his bed and linger. After all, Yuan Cixian hurriedly got under his bed, and he also hurried back to the outside room, closed the secret passage, hurriedly put on his clothes and moved the door, and excused to A Niang that he was late because he didn't put on his clothes.

After finally fooling A Niang, he was half relieved, but when he saw the servant leading the famous Zaifu to this side, he suddenly remembered that he had an appointment with someone to discuss privately.

He is the prime minister, the official is older than him, and he condescends to come to his house. He has absolutely no reason to refuse guests, and it is too late to ask Yuan Cixian to slip out of the window. Because Zaisuke is here.

There is also a study outside the bedroom, which can be used to entertain guests. Of course, he can also ask people to go outside, but he is afraid that if he leaves here, Yuan Cixian and her dog will make some noise, and A Niang who has not gone far will find out. To be on the safe side, he chose to talk outside. thing.

He originally wanted to end it quickly, but when it comes to serious matters, he can't be solved in a few sentences. Zaifu was eager, and he couldn't be cold. I couldn't help it, and glanced inside from time to time.

To be able to be Zaifu, Zaifu must have discernment, as if he had understood the way, he stood up and said goodbye with ambiguous eyes.

It stands to reason that Lu Shiqing had to deliver it in person, but he was really afraid that Yuan Cixian would die of suffocation inside, so he asked a servant to do the work for him, and then hurried to the inside. Hearing the silence under the bed, he hesitated in front of the bed, keeping a safe distance from the dogs that might jump out of it, and then asked tentatively, "Master?"

He tried a few times in a row, but there was no response, and his heart tightened, wondering if Zheng Yao's fiancée was really suffocated to death, and he didn't care about whether it was a dog or not, so he quickly bent down to look at it.

When he looked at it, he saw a person and a dog curled up under the bed, their chests heaving and falling peacefully, and they actually fell asleep together.

If you wake up Yuan Cixian, you may wake up the dog. He seemed to have encountered the most difficult decision in his life. After a while, he thought of a compromise, went outside and took a long bamboo pole, avoided the dog, and poked her arm from a distance.

With this poke, she really woke up, and she was taken aback. She suddenly lifted up with a scream, but hit her head on the bed board, and made another "ouch" in pain.

He didn't expect this kind of chain reaction. He was stunned for a moment, but Yuan Cixian came back to his senses first, clutching his forehead like he was about to cry: "Lu Shilang, you are going to kill someone!"

He was also a little sorry this time, he threw away the bamboo pole with a guilty conscience, and asked her if she was okay.

Yuan Cixian slowly crawled out holding the dog who had just woken up from a big dream. A round bump suddenly swelled up on his forehead, and he told him it was not good with a bitter face.

It's really not good, it's all disfigured.

He tried his best to ignore the dog at her feet, retreated far away and said hesitantly, "May I ask your highness to come and pick you up?"

She hurriedly waved her hand to signal goodbye, touched her forehead and sighed: "Come on, one by one."

He choked, knowing that she must want to understand the truth, and sighed: "How do you know the secret path and code?"

She said confidently, "I followed His Highness's words."

At that time, he thought to himself, it seems that it is not empty talk, and he said helplessly: "Then why do you suspect me?"

She explained that it was one thing that something was wrong with him, and more importantly, she mentioned to Zheng Zhuo several times that his identity was suspicious, but he was denied with a strange attitude.

Her starting point was good, but she was worried that Zheng Zhuo would be deceived by ill-intentioned staff, but she was also afraid that she would make a wrong judgment, wrong the good people, and sow discord between them, so she wanted to investigate quietly first.

No, it's not easy to come all the way from the secret road to explore with a dog for self-defense.

She said bitterly: "Thanks to my concern for the country and the people, it turned out that I was tricked by others."

At that time, Lu Shiqing thought that she looked a little sad, don't want to break up with Zheng Zhuo, and quickly explained, saying that this matter has nothing to do with His Highness, and he wanted to hide it.

But Yuan Cixian didn't seem to be happy at all, but the bump on her forehead was getting more and more bulging, she pursed her mouth and said whatever they wanted, she went back first.

Lu Shiqing said that it is really not good for lonely men and widows to live together, but he was afraid that she would go home and get seriously injured. When Zheng Yan could kill him, he told her to wait, and then went outside to ask someone to take the remaining bag of hidden ice at home. Come, let her apply on the road.

Yuan Cixian took it, but before leaving, she didn't show any facial expressions, and suddenly showed a flattering smile, and said to him: "Why don't you tell Your Highness that I'm here today, and I will forgive you?"

he asked why. He thinks it doesn't matter, her starting point is good, Zheng Zhuo won't misunderstand anything.

But she said that the secret way and the secret code were based on her clichés, and if she found out some achievements, it would be a waste of time to let Zheng Zhuo know, in case something happens in the future, it will not be easy to use clichés up.

Lu Shiqing felt that she was quite thoughtful, and she was a little unwilling to agree, after all, he was closer to Zheng Yao.

But soon her eyes were filled with tears, and she said pitifully: "That's fine. If you don't want to, forget it. I hope nothing will happen to my head, so that I can enjoy a few more years of happiness."

His forehead was still swollen, and the sound of "bang" was still in his ears. He was wronged, knowing that she had set it up, so he had no choice but to dig in, and said okay, just pretend that nothing happened today.

Then I saw her stretch out her hand excitedly and said, "Pull the hook!"

He was taken aback.

After Yuan Cixian finished speaking, she probably sensed that something was wrong, smiled coquettishly, hooked her left and right hands, and then ran away from the secret road with the dog as if afraid of his repentance.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had stood staring blankly at the end of the secret passage for a long time.

After this incident, Lu Shiqing felt strange seeing Yuan Cixian again.

It was Zheng Zhuo who came to Xu's house to discuss matters with him that day, and brought Yuan Cixian with him. Because he promised her to pretend nothing happened, he still pretended to be a teacher, pretending that she didn't know his identity.

He seemed a little apprehensive when he saw her enter the door, as if he was afraid that he would regret his real body, and he was relieved when he saw that he was honestly wearing a mask, and smiled at him quietly to show his gratitude.

Zheng Zhuo didn't pay attention to her, but he felt that the smile was too dazzling, so he quickly turned his head and stopped looking at her.

Mingming Yuan Cixian still doesn't talk to him very much, and still keeps his fiancée's duty, but he has a common secret with her, which makes him very guilty of Zheng Zhuo.

It was as if, as if he had done something out of the ordinary.

Especially later, when the talk was over and they drank tea together, he silently read the chess records, and Yuan Cixian played five woods with Zheng Zhuo.

He heard Zheng Zhuo ask Yuan Cixian: "What happened to your eyes?"

He glanced over subconsciously, and saw that there was indeed a small redness on her lower eyelid, and heard her say: "It's okay, there is a needle, it's not serious, the doctor said that it will be fine with a hot towel for a few times."

Zheng Zhuo told her not to rub it with her hands, and asked someone to take a look at it later.

Afterwards, Lu Shiqing didn't hear what was said over there. He was full of thoughts, the eye of a needle, he must have seen something he shouldn't have seen, and then he looked down at his chest.

But when he raised his head, he happened to find Yuan Cixian looking towards him, and his eyes also fell on his chest.

Come on, think of a piece to go.

He coughed in embarrassment, then turned sideways, leaving her and Zheng Zhuo on the same back. But I couldn't read the book in my hand.

After meeting a few times, Yuan Cixian, who is so cheerful, seemed to have become quite embarrassed, as if deliberately avoiding him, and didn't talk to him very much, let alone now.

Until one day, Zheng Zhuo realized something was wrong and asked them: "Are you two feuding?"

The two said "how could that be" in unison, even the tone of voice was exactly the same, and then they were probably shocked by this inexplicable tacit understanding, and looked at each other for a while.

After finishing, Yuan Cixian suddenly said that she was a little sleepy and wanted to go home.

Zheng Zhuo wanted to see her off, but she said no and left alone.

Lu Shiqing was inexplicably irritable, and soon after she left, he found an excuse to go to work, but in fact, he returned home and fell into bed, tossing and turning, speculating on her strange attitude, and speculating on his own strange psychology.

Then, he didn't meet Yuan Cixian again for a long time. When Zheng Zhuo came to Xu's house, he was alone. He once tried a few words, saying why he didn't take her with him. Zheng Zhuo said that she was busy with family affairs and her sister-in-law was not in good health. He asked the two of them if there was anything wrong.

Zheng Zhuo said no, it was just like before.

He could hear from his tone that the two of them seemed to have no further development, and they had always been friends who could talk to each other, but it seemed that they were just friends who could talk to each other.

After several months, Lu Shiqing didn't see Yuan Cixian again until the next summer. When we saw each other again, something happened to Zheng Zhuo.

On the saint's birthday, there was a banquet held in the palace at night, with silk and bamboo orchestras, gongs and drums blaring, but the next morning, Zheng Zhuo woke up from the side hall, and beside him lay the naked second wife of the Jiang family, Jiang Bican.

The news was spread deliberately, and the city was full of ups and downs throughout the morning. The sage was furious, and asked Zheng Zhuo to explain to the Jiang family, and of course, to the Yuan family as well.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, the sage decided to cancel the marriage contract between Zheng Zhuo and Yuan Cixian, saying that he could not wrong the Yuan family. Then he promoted his marriage with the Jiang family, saying that Miss Jiang must be held accountable.

In less than a day, the royal family ended the scandal. A fool can also see that there is something tricky in it.

Lu Shiqing did some emergency treatment among the courtiers, and when he finally had the opportunity to go to the Prince's Mansion to look for Zheng Zhuo at night, he saw him paralyzed in the room as if dead, and the room was full of the smell of alcohol.

He didn't know how to describe the mood at that moment. The Jiang family and the sage plotted against Zheng Zhuo and Yuan's family together, but his aides failed to stop them. Talking about guilt isn't enough.

He dragged Zheng Zhuo up, and he spit all over without making a sound.

When Zheng Zhuo came to his senses, the first thing he said was: "She said she believed in me."

Lu Shiqing didn't realize who this "she" was at first, but after thinking about it, he realized, and asked, "Has the county lord come?"

Zheng Zhuo said yes, she came as soon as she heard the news, and told him that she believed that he didn't do that kind of thing, knowing that this was a change in the court situation, the saint was afraid of him, and didn't want the Yuan family to help him, so she designed this conspiracy.

She told him not to fall out with the saint in a hurry, and not to break up with the Jiang family's second wife right away. Now that the situation is serious, he has to bear it, he has to bear it. She said she was fine, she didn't care about the gossip, don't worry.

Zheng Zhuo smiled wryly at this point: "She believes in me, I should be happy. But I can't be happy. She is so calm, so calm that she can analyze everything thoroughly, and she is calmer than me... At this time, I should comfort her , why did she turn to comfort me?"

Lu Shiqing understood.

She doesn't make a lot of noise, she doesn't cry, it's because she doesn't love. Zheng Zhuo is not afraid of being calculated, but afraid that she will not love her.

Zheng Zhuo said, in fact, he has always known that she treats him sincerely, but treats him like a friend. He originally thought that after getting married, this situation would gradually change. But now there is no chance.

After he finished speaking, he wanted to drink again.

Lu Shiqing snatched Zheng Zhuo's wine, and really didn't know how he got through that night.

The next day, he went to Yuan Cixian, said that he had arranged a safe way, and told her to go and see Zheng Zhuo.

Yuan Cixian agreed.

He could tell that she was worried about Zheng Zhuo, or maybe she was also worried about Yuan's family, and she didn't even wear the hairpin on her head when she went out in a hurry.

But he managed to take her to the prince's mansion to avoid the spies, but Zheng Zhuo refused to see her.

She was shut down outside Zheng Zhuo's room for a long time. Lu Shiqing stood behind her, unable to do anything.

In the end, she could only say what she wanted to say through the door, and she said: "Drinking hurts your health, stop drinking, cheer up, there is no unparalleled road, I will marry me after you solve the second wife of Jiang's family. "

Lu Shiqing clearly heard a "bang" coming from inside, and the sound of the wine jar breaking apart.

He knew that Zheng Zhuo came back to life because of the phrase "I'll wait for you to marry me".

Looking at Yuan Cixian again, her eyes were calm, she turned around and left after she finished speaking.

Lu Shiqing glanced at Zheng Zhuo's closed door, followed her steps, frowning all the way.

He knew why Yuan Cixian said that. Even as a friend, she couldn't ignore Zheng Zhuo's appearance. Since she has a way to cheer him up, why not do it? When he reached the long aisle of the Prince's Mansion, he stopped suddenly and said, "Thank you."

Yuan Cixian stopped and looked back at him. She probably understood that he was thanking Zheng Zhuo. She shook her head and said, "It's a small effort. I really appreciate His Highness, and the Yuan family will continue to support him."

Lu Shiqing nodded, originally planning to say goodbye, but a sentence slipped to his lips, and he couldn't hold it back no matter what. He asked, "Just to admire?"

Yuan Cixian raised his head, stared at him silently for a long time, then nodded while looking into his eyes, and answered him by borrowing a sentence he once said when the two of them stood here talking about Shaohe: "Lu Shilang , Everyone has his own ambitions."

After she finished speaking, she smiled bitterly, turned and left.
