The queen's heart is unpredictable

After walking downstairs quickly, Zhang Xiaohua found a waiter to carefully study the refreshments in this teahouse.Although this teahouse is not big, the business is very good. I heard that various refreshments are the specialty of this teahouse, so Zhang Xiaohua ordered one as well.

Anyway, it's Duanmu Yu's treat, so if you don't eat for free, you won't eat...

In order to avoid the embarrassment upstairs, Zhang Xiaohua told Xiao Er that when the tea was ready, she would just bring it upstairs herself.In this way, she had time to fish downstairs.

But not long after, a familiar figure came down the stairs.

It wasn't Duanmu Yu, but Qi Mingyue.

"You... why did you come down?" Zhang Xiaohua went up to greet her, "Is there any order from upstairs?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought that Qi Mingyue was helping Duanmu Yu to pass on the message, but she didn't want Qi Mingyue to gently shake her head and said, "Your Majesty, seeing that you have been gone for a long time without returning, let me take a look. And she said, you have something to say." Tell me."

……

Zhang Xiaohua was taken aback for a moment, but then she came to her senses.

"That... let's go to the side and talk." Zhang Xiaohua tugged on Qi Mingyue's sleeve, walked two steps quickly, and arrived at the corner of the teahouse.

Qi Mingyue didn't say anything, just followed Zhang Xiaohua gently.

And after Zhang Xiaohua made sure that no one around could hear what the two of them said, she said, "To tell you the truth, I'm not Zhang Shangshu's daughter, I'm just a court lady."

"Lady?" Qi Mingyue was startled for a moment, and then quickly recovered her gentle and demure appearance, then she nodded, as if she accepted the setting.

Looking at Qi Mingyue's gentle look, Zhang Xiaohua immediately relaxed and said, "Actually, I was entrusted by the person upstairs to ask you about it. If you don't want to answer, it's fine."

"En." Qi Mingyue nodded again.

After finishing the foreshadowing, Zhang Xiaohua then jumped into the topic, "I just want to ask you, if given the chance, would you marry King Qinghe?"

Hearing this, Qi Mingyue's eyes widened as Zhang Xiaohua thought, and she didn't close her slightly opened mouth for a long time.

As a woman, Zhang Xiaohua understood Qi Mingyue's state of mind very well.

Originally, if someone she didn't know well suddenly came to talk to her about getting married, Zhang Xiaohua would definitely treat that person as crazy.

But Qi Mingyue is a lady after all.

After being surprised, Qi Mingyue put on a very polite smile and said, "As a daughter, the matter of marriage is naturally decided by my father, and I have no objection."

……

How can someone accept such an official statement?

Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head, a little embarrassed, "Hmm...so you mean, as long as your father agrees, you can do whatever you want?"

Hearing Zhang Xiaohua's words, Qi Mingyue frowned and smiled softly.

But Zhang Xiaohua frowned, and after hesitating again and again, she couldn't help whispering, "Actually... Actually, I think that for marriage, after all, you marry yourself, and you have to be willing. "

The Dazhao calls for equality between men and women, and there are many people who love freely. However, considering things like family inheritance, many people still follow the etiquette and customs when marrying men and women, and let their parents order and matchmaker's words.

Qi Mingyue is often ridiculed because her father's identity is not recognized by others, so she has been careful since she was a child, followed the rules, and has always been a well-behaved and sensible lady, for fear that if she is not careful, she will shame the family again.

But now Zhang Xiaohua's words caused ripples in Qi Mingyue's peaceful heart.

Do you have to follow your own wishes in matters like getting married?

What about my own mind?

Qi Mingyue kept asking herself, and her eyes gradually became a little dazed.

Ever since she became sensible, the only thought in her heart is to hope that their family can live an upright life.

To be ridiculed again.But after my mother passed away, my father has been slacking off, and only wants to work in the household department to support the family.In this way, their family has become more and more a joke in the eyes of the Qi family.

Qi Mingyue is not reconciled, she doesn't want to be laughed at like this for the rest of her life.But for a long time, she couldn't do anything except put on a gentle and demure look.

But if you can marry King Qinghe, everything will be different.

Qi Mingyue's eyes flickered, as if the fire of hope in her heart had been ignited.

"I... let me think about it, okay?" Qi Mingyue pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind, and then whispered, "Let me think about it for a few days before I give the monarch an answer."

"Yes, yes." Qi Mingyue was so gentle, Zhang Xiaohua saw that she was happy physically and mentally, so she naturally agreed happily.

Qi Mingyue looked at Zhang Xiaohua and smiled slightly, "Thank you very much."

What's there to be thankful for?Zhang Xiaohua was just completing the task.

And just when Zhang Xiaohua was scratching her head and didn't know how to answer the conversation, the scheduled refreshment was ready, Zhang Xiaohua hurried up to the second floor with a large plate of things.

Qi Mingyue bent her lips and looked in the direction of the second floor with a slight smile.Suddenly, a flash of light flashed across her eyes, and the smile on her face became more and more charming.

At that time, after Zhang Xiaohua returned to the private room, with Duanmu Yu's consent, she opened her stomach and tasted refreshments.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was eating the second one, Qi Mingyue came back slowly, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly asked her to sit down and taste the pastries together.It so happened that at this time she noticed that Qi Shaoling, who was sitting in the corner, had a pale face, as if he was about to die.

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly couldn't even take care of eating, and looked at Qi Shaoling worriedly, "You... are you okay?"

This Qi Shaoling talked a lot before, but now she has not said a word, which is really abnormal.Qi Mingyue also became a little worried.

Qi Shaoling glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, then bit her lips, "I...I'm not feeling well." She was trembling, and tugged at Qi Mingyue's sleeve pitifully, "Sister, let's go home, okay? good?"

Qi Mingyue was worried about Qi Shaoling's body, so she naturally nodded, and then she looked at Duanmu Yu helplessly.

Duanmu Yu sneered lazily, and nodded silently.

So Qi Shaoling pulled up Qi Mingyue's sleeves as if he had been granted an amnesty, and left quickly.

Seeing Qi Shaoling's flustered appearance, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help frowning, and turned to look at Duanmu Yu.I saw Duanmu Yu relaxed and at ease, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Xiaohua licked her lips, she wanted to ask something, but she held back.

But after Qi Mingyue and Qi Shaoling left, only Zhang Xiaohua was eating a table full of pastries.When she ate the fourth piece, she felt powerless and could only silently look at the table and sigh.

"What's the matter?" Duanmu Yu heard Zhang Xiaohua's strangeness, and looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a smile.

Zhang Xiaohua turned her head and stopped talking.

And at this moment, Duanmu Yu, who was looking at Zhang Xiaohua, suddenly stretched out his hand.

Then the next moment, Zhang Xiaohua felt the cold fingertips gently brushing the corner of her mouth.

Duanmu Yu said with a look of disgust on the side, "You are such an adult, how can you eat cakes and still look like a child."

Zhang Xiaohua blushed a little after being told, but Duanmu Yu withdrew her hand at this time.

However, there were two crumbs of tea cake left on her fingertips like bamboo shoots, Zhang Xiaohua thought she would wipe them off, but she didn't expect Duanmu Yu to taste it with her fingertips in her mouth.

"Sweet." She said quietly.

Immediately, the burning on Zhang Xiaohua's face became more intense.She picked up a piece of tea, brought it to Duanmu Yu and said, "If you want to eat, eat this."

Duanmuyu raised his eyelids to look at Zhang Xiaohua, and smiled, "I think that's more delicious."

……

"Why do you always say these strange things?" Zhang Xiaohua frowned, then handed the tea in front of Duanmu Yu, "Eat, hurry up."

Duanmuyu smiled, parted her red lips lightly, and slowly took a bite of the tea as Zhang Xiaohua asked.

The entrance is fragrant and soft, sweet but not greasy, it is indeed good.

But Duanmuyu still felt that Zhang Xiaohua's lips tasted better, but she didn't say it.

After feeding Duanmu Yu a piece of tea, Zhang Xiaohua's inexplicable flustered mood gradually calmed down. At the same time, she remembered what happened before, and asked in a low voice, "The empress Shicai and the young man are alone. Did anything happen in the private room?"

"Do you think something will happen?" Duanmu Yu took a sip of tea and looked at Zhang Xiaohua meaningfully.

Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips and couldn't help muttering, "You scare Shaoling."

But Duanmu Yu sneered disdainfully, "I just praised her for her beautiful bun today, and she got scared like that. What does this have to do with me?"

……

"Really?" Zhang Xiaohua was a little skeptical.

Duanmu Yu couldn't help squinting his eyes, "I am a king, do I need to lie to a child like you?"

……

That's really not necessary.

But speaking of it this way, Qi Shaoling must be a little too timid, to be so scared by Duanmu Yu's words.

It seems that after returning to the palace, she needs to ask someone to bring two boxes of candies to calm her down.

In fact, Duanmu Yu's so-called compliment is like this -

"You have a good head."

……

When Qi Shaoling heard about it, he thought that Duanmu Yu was going to take off the head and kick it as a ball, just like the folk rumors.Of course she was scared to death, but after returning home, she immediately developed a fever and was ill for more than half a month.

But this is all for later.

Right now, facing a table of refreshments, Zhang Xiaohua, who has limited combat power, finally chose to pack.

And when she walked downstairs with the big bags and small bags, she thought that Duanmu Yu had already paid the bill, but she didn't want the little girl to stop her way with a smile.

"Girl, settle the bill."

???

What about Duanmu Yu?What about people?Why do people disappear when you want to check out?

Zhang Xiaohua looked around for a long time, but she couldn't find Duanmu Yu at all.In the end, she wanted to cry but had no tears. In order not to be detained to wash the cup, she had to pay five taels of silver with tears.

Then the moment she walked out of the teahouse, she saw Duanmu Yu leaning on the door of the teahouse, looking at an unknown place from afar.

I didn't pay the bill, and I fell here with a bright and sad look...

Zhang Xiaohua walked over angrily.

As a result, when Duanmu Yu was still some distance away, Duanmu Yu had already withdrawn his gaze, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaohua.

Meeting Duanmu Yu's gaze, Zhang Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, but then she came back to her senses and asked angrily, "Why are you walking so fast..."

"Because it's too noisy in there."

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't find any loopholes in Duanmuyu's answer. She pursed her lips, and finally asked cheekily, "How about the money for drinking tea?"

"You pay." Duanmu Yu took it for granted.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to believe it, "Why!"

"Because you ate the tea by yourself from the beginning to the end, of course you paid for it yourself." Duanmu Yu thought about it carefully, "Oh, I seem to have eaten a piece, then... When you pay me back later, give me You pay less interest."

……

"Why is there still interest!" Zhang Xiaohua took two quick steps and caught up with Duanmu Yu.

Duanmuyu looked even more surprised than Zhang Xiaohua, "Is there any reason not to charge interest on the loaned money?"

……

What you said is so reasonable that you can't find any refutation.

But the question is, the majestic ruler of a country, why...why did he start lending money again!

And think about the situation when Duanmu Yu lent her money before, and think about the situation where Duanmu Yu kept encouraging her to buy things along the way.Zhang Xiaohua felt that she was cheated.

I think she learned so many fraud prevention methods in modern times.She never expected that in ancient times, she would be given such a trick by an empress!

Zhang Xiaohua wanted to cry, shed tears of poverty.

"Then...how much interest will it cost?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Duanmu Yu aggrievedly, hoping that it would not be a black-hearted lender.

Duanmu Yu pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly, "It's a three-point profit." After speaking, she walked forward alone.

Zhang Xiaohua stood on the spot and broke her fingers——

Three-point profit?

Not much to say, not much to say.

But Zhang Xiaohua already owed two months of monthly silver now, if interest is added, wouldn't she have to live in hardship for three consecutive months haha?

Zhang Xiaohua's cheeks were round, and she followed Duanmu Yu with an expression of disbelief.

Looking at Duanmu Yu's back, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly remembered that when she was at Wang Yushi's mansion, she heard someone call Duanmu Yu the female Yan Luo.

Now it seems that it does have such a little meaning.

And this is a particularly stingy female Yan Luo.

snort!

"Are you scolding me behind my back again?" Duanmu Yu said for no reason.

Zhang Xiaohua shuddered, then quickly shook her head, "No, why would I scold you?"

"Really?" Duanmu Yu suddenly stopped, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua quickly retracted her cheeks, and then blinked innocently.

"Zhang Xiaohua." Duanmu Yu stretched out his fingers and poked Zhang Xiaohua's forehead, "Do you know that you really can't lie."

"Really?" Zhang Xiaohua doubted, "No, I obviously..."

and many more!

Why does this sound like a lie?

Sure enough, when Zhang Xiaohua looked at Duanmu Yu again, she saw Duanmu Yu smiling meaningfully there.

After all, she still followed her way!

Zhang Xiaohua frowned angrily and guiltily, then Duanmu Yu stretched out his arms the next moment, and pinched Zhang Xiaohua's cheek, "Why are you secretly scolding me, but you are angry instead?"

"I..." It was better for her not to speak.

Duanmuyu laughed, and after rubbing Zhang Xiaohua's head, she took a few things from Zhang Xiaohua's arms and went over, "We'll probably be there in half an hour's walk." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua's cheeks were reddish, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't move in the palace every day, it's time to exercise your muscles and bones."

Zhang Xiaohua puffed her cheeks, she was not convinced, but she didn't dare to say anything.

And when Zhang Xiaohua raised her head again, she saw Duanmu Yu holding a bunch of things, but still walking forward lightly.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help feeling a little envious, for a moment she forgot what happened before, and with a smile on her face, she trotted after Duanmu Yu.

Duanmu Yu slowed down and looked back at Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips, then tilted her head, and asked tentatively, "Is it because you are good at martial arts that you have great strength?"

"With deep internal strength, you can carry a tripod with strength and walk like flying."

"Really!" Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth, revealing all her inner emotions.

Duanmu Yu beside him couldn't help but have a sly look in his eyes, "Do you want to learn martial arts?"

"Think!" Zhang Xiaohua blurted out without thinking.Then she looked at Duanmu Yu with some hesitation.

As the saying goes,

After being cheated a lot, you will naturally have a hunch.

But right now, Zhang Xiaohua feels the crisis...

She asked shrewdly, "Are there any conditions?"

"Yes." Duanmu Yu squinted his eyes and smiled, "The condition is simple, just charge some money."

???

The empress of the generation, what happened today?Why are you calculating her money everywhere!

Is the treasury so empty?

Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes——

Send Duanmu Yu two words in a simple and clear way: Farewell!

She has only one attitude now, and that is the attitude of not talking about money.

Poverty limits all her actions.

But when she was so tired that she was out of breath, but Duanmu Yu was still elegant, Zhang Xiaohua was a little moved.

Anyway, it costs nothing to ask.

Zhang Xiaohua touched it, smiled obsequiously, and asked in a low voice, "How much do you want to charge?"

"It depends on how long you study."

"It's cheaper to learn for a long time?"

"No." Duanmu Yu said very seriously, "The quick way of martial arts is cheaper."

……

Think about it too, according to the previous martial arts routines, this kind of quick fix will probably lead to madness or something.

But who made Zhang Xiaohua poor?

She asked, "How much is the quick method of martial arts?"

"One article."

……

so cheap!

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua took out a penny and put it in Duanmu Yu's hands, then asked, "Can I learn now?"

"Yes." Duanmu Yu narrowed his eyes, then stretched out his hand to block Zhang Xiaohua's face, "Close your eyes first."

Close your eyes?

Although she felt a little strange, Zhang Xiaohua closed her eyes obediently and obediently.

As darkness fell, other senses suddenly became sharper.

The wind blows gently with the aroma of autumn fruits, and the hair flutters, rubbing against the ears and cheeks.Zhang Xiaohua felt itchy, so she couldn't help wrinkling the bridge of her nose and shrugging her shoulders.

Then in the next moment, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be a person standing in front of her, that person blocked the large swath of sunlight in front of her, and made her already gloomy world suddenly lose the last sporadic haze.

"Duan... Your Lady Empress? Is it you?" Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to open her eyes, so she stretched out her hand to touch something, in order to comfort her restless heart under the darkness.

The next moment, a pair of warm hands wrapped around Zhang Xiaohua's.

Zhang Xiaohua shivered for a moment, then asked softly, "My Lady Queen?"

"En." Duanmu Yu replied softly with a smile.

"Can I... can I start learning?" After making sure Duanmu Yu was right behind her, Zhang Xiaohua asked in a low voice when she felt relieved.

Then in the next moment, she heard Duanmu Yu say "hmm" again, Zhang Xiaohua grinned and asked with a smile, "What should I do next?"

Duanmu Yu replied, "Just open your eyes."

Just open your eyes?

Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes suspiciously, but she saw Duanmu Yu standing in front of her under the backlight, with long hair flying freely.Dressed in white, she looks like a banished fairy.

There she was, with a small, charming smile.

Looking at Duanmu Yu, Zhang Xiaohua's heart suddenly beat strongly.

She knew that the smile on Duanmu Yu's face was a bit malicious, but she was caught in Duanmu Yu's deep and attractive eyes and couldn't extricate herself.

How to do?

Not only is her brain short of oxygen, her heart beats faster, even when she looks at Duanmu Yu, she also feels a feeling of being pulled physically and mentally.That kind of feeling is very mysterious, making her want to get closer, making her think——

just at this time

, a child carrying a gong ran over, and the sound of ding ding gong made Zhang Xiaohua regain her senses.

Zhang Xiaohua quickly turned her head away and stopped looking at Duanmuyu.She just murmured and asked, "Already...already learned?"

"Ah."

"Then I..." Zhang Xiaohua wanted to withdraw her hand, and practice the so-called "martial arts" well.But who knew that her hand just twitched for a moment, and it was held tightly by Duanmu Yu.

What are you doing?

Zhang Xiaohua was a little confused, "Didn't you agree? I have to test it."

"It has to be tested like this." Duanmu Yu stubbornly refused to let go.

Zhang Xiaohua's cheeks puffed up, she was too lazy to worry about it, let's experience the feeling of knowing martial arts first and then say--

I jump!

Jump up, fall down.

???

I jump!

jump up ~ fall down ~

???

"Why can't I fly?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Duanmu Yu suspiciously.

In the next moment, Duanmu Yu turned around and directly reached out to block Zhang Xiaohua's waist.Then, before Zhang Xiaohua could react, she felt her body lighten up, and she jumped up into the air, jumping directly onto the roof of the nearby house.

After standing still, Duanmu Yu looked at Zhang Xiaohua and asked with a faint smile, "How is it?"

how about what?

"I want to fly by myself!" Zhang Xiaohua was furious, "Duanmuyu! Are you cheating me!"

Duanmu Yu narrowed his eyes, shook his head with a half-smile, "No."

"Then let me ask you, what have I learned?" Zhang Xiaohua was already mad at the moment, staring at Duanmu Yu with puffed cheeks.

Duanmu Yu hugged Zhang Xiaohua tightly, exhaled Ruolan and said, "Learn to be with me."

……

???

"You cheat!" Zhang Xiaohua finally came to her senses, and pushed Duanmu Yu without saying a word.

Duanmuyu pretended to let go, Zhang Xiaohua swayed, and then she remembered in a daze that she was standing on the roof, and accidentally fell down, the nose was bruised and swollen, but the seriousness was serious!

Zhang Xiaohua quickly reached out and hugged Duanmu Yu tightly, but she still stared unconvinced, "You pay back the money!"

"Once sold, there will be no refund." With a smile on his face, Duanmu Yu hugged Zhang Xiaohua's waist, jumped lightly, and landed on the ground.

Zhang Xiaohua stepped on the ground and immediately pushed Duanmu Yu away. She looked at Duanmu Yu like a puffer fish, "You are clearly a fake sale!"

"Yiwen teaches you the simplest life-saving skills." Duanmu Yu brushed off his sleeves and looked at Zhang Xiaohua very calmly, "Why is it false?"

This... What these words said made people find no loopholes for a while.

Zhang Xiaohua is angry!

She clenched her fists tightly, wanting to go up and beat Duanmu Yu up.But, but...

Oh oh oh!

"Why are you like this! You are still the lord of a country!" Zhang Xiaohua pouted and muttered, "You know how to bully ordinary people like me, how dare you!"

Duanmu Yu smiled unmoved, and replied a few words in a very flat manner, "I'm quite embarrassed."

……

Zhang Xiaohua felt that she was about to be pissed off!

She reluctantly followed Duanmu Yu towards the palace, her mind and heart were full of complaints about Duanmu Yu.

And just when the sunset was gradually passing away, the sky was getting dark, and the streets on both sides were gradually deserted.Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt a gust of wind, at the same time, Duanmuyu who was walking in front suddenly slowed down, and gradually came to Zhang Xiaohua's side.

What are you doing!go away!

Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips and muttered in her heart.

At this time, Duanmu Yu suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Do you still remember what I taught you just now?"

……

Do you feel that bullying her is not enough, and now you have to remind her specially?

Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes, snorted, and was too lazy to talk.In the next moment, Duanmu Yu firmly pinned her wrist to death!

Zhang Xiaohua thought that Duanmu Yu was angry, but before she could think of the words to beg for mercy, she was pulled by Duanmu Yu, and then she spun around and fell into Duanmu Yu's arms.

Do, what are you doing...

Without waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to think about it——

In the dark night, a silver light flickered suddenly, and the shadow of swords and swords was already close at hand.

"Hold me well!" Duanmu Yu snorted, and at the same time, she drew a soft sword from her waist.

Hearing the sound of clanging, Zhang Xiaohua wanted to watch the fighting scene online, but... when a sword glowing with coldness quietly passed Duanmuyu's shoulder, Zhang Xiaohua saw with her own eyes that Duanmuyu's hair was cut off, Then after falling to the ground lightly.She immediately hugged Duanmu Yu obediently and obediently, and then buried her head completely.

Duanmu Yu was still easy to deal with, but she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. When she looked down, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I told you to hold me tight, and you didn't let you strangle me to death." With a single stroke, she wiped the soft sword in her hand across the neck of the person opposite, and at the same time she asked in a relaxed tone, "Zhang Xiaohua, where's your guts?"

胆？

no more no more...

What do you have the guts to do at a time like this?Life is the most important thing!

Then Zhang Xiaohua heard a chuckle from above her head.

It's such a time, do you still have the time to laugh?

Zhang Xiaohua turned her head secretly, and looked outside through the slits in her eyes.

It was already dark, and there were only a few dim lanterns swaying in the wind on the street.

Under the reflection of the moonlight and candlelight, there are three?four?Several figures are shaking, they are holding different weapons, but they have the same purpose - to kill Duan Muyu!

Although Duanmuyu said before that she has not met anyone who can beat her, but as the saying goes, one person is hard to beat with four hands. Even though Duanmuyu is very strong in martial arts, she should have a hard time facing so many people now. Well, she—

As a result, when Zhang Xiaohua was secretly worried, Duanmu Yu in front of Zhang Xiaohua stopped.

"Okay..." Duanmu Yu suppressed a smile and patted Zhang Xiaohua lightly.

Only then did Zhang Xiaohua raise her head and look around. Everything was calm and everyone was lying at Duanmu Yu's feet.

"They are all dead?" Zhang Xiaohua's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"En." After Duanmu Yu answered casually, she patted Zhang Xiaohua's hand with a wry smile, "You can let go now, otherwise I am really afraid that you will break my waist."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua immediately let go of her hands in embarrassment.After confirming that the surroundings were safe, she took a step back and distanced herself from Duanmu Yu.

Duanmu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around to pick up the things she left on the side of the road.

But at the moment when Duanmu Yu bent down, there was a sudden movement beside him.Duanmu Yu frowned and tilted her head. With her excellent eyesight, she saw a black shadow hiding in a not far corner at a glance.

And what that person held in his hand was———————————————————————————

It seems that there are still fish that slipped through the net...

Duanmu Yu frowned, picked up a stone at his feet and threw it neatly.The stone quickly and accurately sank into the man's forehead, but at the same time, the man's hand on the nipple was also loosened all of a sudden.

The set up gun suddenly lost control, and immediately left the gun, coming straight through the air.

But that gun was not aimed at Duanmu Yu, but... Zhang Xiaohua!

"Be careful!" In an instant, Duanmu Yu's expression changed drastically, and he rushed towards Zhang Xiaohua.

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua was struggling with the question of whether to step over the dead man or go around the dead man.When she heard Duanmu Yu's loud shout, she raised her head again.

At that time, Duanmu Yu had already come to her side.

At the same time, she seemed to catch a glimpse of something from the corner of her eye, and it flew past.

"Ding!"

□□It landed on the bluestone road, making a crisp sound.

Zhang Xiaohua glanced back, and suddenly realized something.She quickly recovered and looked at Duanmu Yu in front of her, and asked worriedly, "Are... are you okay?"

Duanmuyu shook his head, curled his lips with a smile and stretched out his hands to rub Zhang Xiaohua's hair, comfortingly said, "It's just a small matter, I—"

Mingming said it was just a trivial matter, but before he finished speaking, Duanmu Yu just closed his eyes and lay down in Zhang Xiaohua's arms.

???

"My Lady Queen?" Zhang Xiaohua was confused, "Duanmu Yu? Hello! Duanmu Yu?"

But no matter how much she shouted, Duanmu Yu still didn't respond at all when she lay on Zhang Xiaohua's body.

Zhang Xiaohua was in a hurry, but at this moment she felt her hands were wet and greasy.Take a look--

Blood!

It's over, it's over, it's over!

According to the plot, Duanmu Yu must have been seriously injured!

She was going to die, she was going to die!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes turned red all of a sudden.But after she checked Duanmu Yu in a panic, she actually... only saw a scratch on Duanmu Yu's arm? !

The scratches were a little deep, but they were just scratches to the skin.

So...Duanmu Yu fainted after suffering such a "serious injury"?

Zhang Xiaohua's tears dried in her eyes, and she suddenly felt that she might be tricked again.But looking at Duanmu Yu's breathing smoothly, and the way he didn't move for a long time, it doesn't look like an act...

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua rented a carriage before the yamen servant arrived, and took Duanmu Yu back to the palace.

Outside the gate of Asahi Palace, the imperial physician who had been informed earlier was already standing there.

After Zhang Xiaohua and Duanmu Yu returned, the old doctor gave Duanmu Yu a detailed examination.

Afterwards, the old doctor hugged his beard very calmly, and said, "Your Majesty just fell asleep because of the sweat medicine on the bed. After two hours, the effect of the medicine wears off, and the Sovereign will wake up."

……

Hearing this news, Zhang Xiaohua, who had been nervous all the way, finally breathed a sigh of relief.And after the breath that had been hanging in her heart was released, exhaustion hit her, and she suddenly slumped on the ground.

"You go and wash it first." Zhutao walked to Zhang Xiaohua and patted her on the shoulder lightly, "The water has been boiled, change into clean clothes and come to accompany the monarch."

After Zhutao's reminder, Zhang Xiaohua noticed that her clothes were so dirty that she couldn't see the original color.It's no wonder that after Duanmu Yu fell down just now, she couldn't resist Duanmu Yu's body for a while, and fell directly to the ground, which was really a bit embarrassing.

Zhang Xiaohua nodded, and when she got up and walked out, she saw things piled up in the corner.

"I brought food for you and Nanny Cai." Zhang Xiaohua still didn't forget to share the presents, and took two paper bags and stuffed them into Zhutao's hands, "I don't know if it broke, you and Nanny Cai Just make do with it, okay?"

"Okay, okay." Zhutao nodded very gently, "Go and wash first, I'll cook some porridge for you now, and you can drink the porridge after washing."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiaohua smiled sweetly, then dragged her tired body towards the ear room on one side.

After putting the hot water on, Zhang Xiaohua lay down comfortably.All the fatigue was washed away in an instant, and she lay there, exhaling a sigh of relief throughout her body.

Under the dense mist, she half closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.And when she was about to fall asleep, Duanmu Yu's image suddenly flashed in her empty mind.

Zhang Xiaohua slowly opened her eyes, suddenly lost in thought.Then she couldn't help but think of Duanmu Yu when she opened her eyes today.

Duanmu Yu, dressed in white and with black hair, looks good enough to make a heart stop.And it was at that time that Zhang Xiaohua felt a strange feeling in her heart, she wanted to get close to Duanmu Yu, she wanted to...

"Ah!"

Zhang Xiaohua was in a daze for too long, and the water was getting colder.

She rubbed her nose, and was about to straighten up to get some hot water in a ladle, but when she looked down, there was no hot water prepared beside her.Zhang Xiaohua was a little embarrassed, but at this moment, footsteps came from behind the screen.Zhang Xiaohua sat back in the water and asked softly, "Bamboo? Is that you?"

The footsteps outside stopped, as if they were waiting for her to speak.

Zhang Xiaohua knew that Zhutao was cautious in words and deeds, so she said to herself, "The water here is a bit cold, can you pour some hot water for me, okay?"

Zhutao didn't answer, but in the next second, there was a sound of footsteps gradually moving away from outside, it seemed that Zhutao was going to fetch water.

"No...it's not." Zhang Xiaohua was already nervous, but when Duanmu Yu said such words, she suddenly felt a little at a loss as to what to do.

After wringing his hands uneasily for a long time, Duanmu Yu walked to her side carrying a bucket.

Duanmu Yu said, "Come over, pour some hot water."

Zhang Xiaohua immediately shrank back to the side, and her hands, which had nowhere to rest, naturally clutched her upper body tightly.

Duanmu Yu couldn't help but smiled and said, "Why are you covering so tightly? Afraid of being seen by me?"

Zhang Xiaohua pouted, but said nothing.

In the next moment, with the sound of rushing water, hot water was slowly poured in, and Zhang Xiaohua immediately
