Afterword

The figure of the maid disappeared into the darkness very quickly, turned over and jumped into a window on the second floor.

"Master—" The woman knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully to the one standing by the window.

The woman who was called the hall master seemed to be staring at a certain direction in the night, but following her gaze, it was vaguely dark and drifting cold.

"Where is she?" The woman didn't seem to notice the maid's arrival, and she was silent for a moment before asking the man, but her voice was like a mosquito, and she didn't know whether she was talking to the man or talking to herself.

"Yes, this subordinate sneaked into the princess' mansion today and saw the butler taking the general to visit the mansion, but there was no movement on both sides. The second prince came to the mansion to visit Princess Changlu."

The standing woman seemed to feel the cold, she shrugged her shoulders, and coughed twice, "Ahem, Ah Qing doesn't need to look too carefully, she has her own measure and pays attention to Shang Huan's actions... Afterwards, I will send Qianmo to go back there, so you can go back."

The woman saw that her master was in poor health and was still freezing here, so she couldn't help reminding: "Grand... Hall Master, it's cold, please add more clothes!"

The woman smiled lonely, "It's okay, let's go." For so many years, only the cold and pain can cheer me up. If I can't even bear this, how can I relieve the hatred in my heart?

He only heard a soft sigh, and when he turned his head, the woman had already retreated silently.

Luo Yunqi frowned, and fell down on the bed as if exhausted, tightly entangled the quilt with herself, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, she shouldn't be like this, just because of sleeping together, He fell in love with the warmth of that person.

Heh, she simply covered her face, Luo Yunqi, wake up, you are just a princess who needs protection in her eyes.

Qi Qing was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep. If she could sleep peacefully in the opposite house, she would not be Qi Qing.

She recalled the conversation between Shang Huan and Shang Lu again. "Go and stay" must mean that Shang returned. Why did you say go?Could it be that they want to work together to get rid of the third prince?But hearing the intimacy of the two people towards that person doesn't seem to be the case; what does the "thing" in "it's done" refer to?Could it be that he colluded with Luo Yunli?It's ridiculous, but you have to secretly communicate with the monarch of a country. Is it like the civet cat in the story book for the prince?

Qi Qing felt a sudden flash of inspiration in her mind, but because the flash was too fast, she forgot what it was when she recalled it; this "coming back" must also be related to this "going and staying", it is difficult No business return and not in Xiqi? ...Qi Qing was thinking, with a lot of thoughts in her head, but she also fell asleep in a daze because of too many things that happened that day.

The next morning, Qi Qing opened her eyes early and looked around vigilantly, only to relax when she found that there was no suspicious smell or trace in her room.

Qi Qing simply washed up and went out. Although Qianmo told her that her disguise technique could not be washed off without special materials, she thought it was better to be careful, and the powder on her face was very clear. She didn't feel panicked, she marveled once again that Qianmo knew how to take care of himself, when she had to ask her for advice and pass it on to Yun Qi, the man's sallow and sallow face looked unhealthy at first glance In this way, how can I recruit a good consort?Though that person may already be a dead princess in name only...

Thinking of this, Qi Qing asked the housekeeper. It turned out that the princess hadn't woken up yet, so she sent the housekeeper to send a message to Shang Lu, saying that she went out to buy some things, but she was easily let go.

This Shang Lu is really generous, it's really generous to release the captive face so easily.

So Qi Qing happily ignored the fact that she positioned herself as Shang Lu's male favourite.

Qi Qing turned left and right in the market, and purposely swung the tails of the two following behind her.

She first came to a small stall, and saw a small wooden hairpin carved with begonia red. She felt that such an elegant and elegant temperament was very suitable for Luo Yunqi, but she didn't know if that person would like a street stall with a few pennies. But she still bought it. By the way, she also bought a concubine-colored glazed chili pepper. I don't know if it will be unexpectedly harmonious with Shang Lu.

After buying it, Qi Qing immediately felt refreshed. After all, she came out, especially under the eyes of others, she had to give this master a small gift anyway. It could also be used as a return gift for Jingqueling yesterday. I found a relatively average price. As a poor student, I have to look a little bit, right?

After that, she went to the teahouse again, pretended to listen to the book for a while, and then arrived at the Qingyun Library that Yao had made an appointment with.

After all, Xiqi's territory is no better than the imperial city, she has to be more cautious in everything she does, so she didn't call Yao to the princess mansion, but changed to this inconspicuous little place in front of her.

The two pretended to be reading books, each took out a book, sat down at the reading wooden table, and read for a while in silence.

"My lord, your book is upside down..." Qi Qing couldn't help it, and his birth reminded the tall man opposite who seemed to be immersed in the book and couldn't help himself.

I saw the figure of the man froze for a moment with traces visible to the naked eye, and then calmly turned the book over to take it.

Alas, Qi Qing felt that he was usually too harsh on his subordinates. He only asked the other party to improve their martial arts, but ignored the knowledge education, "You can't turn from the back to the front... Sigh, forget it, those people have gone far, what's the matter?" If you find out, tell me."

Yao was so embarrassed that he couldn't help himself, this time even his ears turned red, "My lord, this is the wreckage I found from the burnt letters of Lord Xiqi and the Emperor", as he spoke, Yao touched it from the palm of his hand like a magic trick. A scrap of paper that was burnt out of shape, Qi Qing picked up the thin piece of paper and carefully identified it, but he could only recognize the word "my son". This prince has so many sons, which one is he referring to?

Qi Qing tapped his fingers on the wooden table and made a dull and heavy sound, "It's too dangerous for the prince, so, you go to Boxuan Inn to find Qianmo, Princess Yunqi is also there, you take the two of you back My other courtyard, I always feel a little unsafe in this Xiqi territory." She paused, and then said: "I'm afraid those two people won't go with you, I'll tell them at night, you go first Wait at the inn."

Yao kept his head down silently while Qi Qing was speaking, and raised his head when she finished speaking, "General, Yao is not afraid of danger, please allow your subordinates to accompany you!"

Qi Qing raised her eyebrows, stood up, walked to the man, patted the man's shoulder, and said loudly: "Young master is so literary!" But in private, he said in a voice that could be heard by two people: "Be obedient, I will do this You have your own intentions, and your task will be considered complete only if you deliver the two of them safely to the other courtyard, don’t underestimate it because of this, someone will definitely trip you up along the way, take care!”

Qi Qing cupped his hands at Yao, "It seems to be my little brother's luck to be with brother Yu today, and I will definitely visit him someday. Now the time is not up, so I will leave first!" Maybe those two tails felt that she was here I stayed in there for too long, and couldn't bear to show up again.

Afterwards, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Qi Qing left the library.

When she returned to the princess's mansion, Shang Lu had already woken up, and seemed to be walking around the door, only to show a surprised look when she saw Qi Qing came back, "Ah Qing, you are back, Uncle Liu told me , I also said that you will not come back until after lunch, but you are coming back right now, and the meal is almost ready, so why don't you hang out with me?"

Qi Qing touched the little chili hairpin in his sleeve, and replied with a smile, "Okay."

At this moment, the sun was just right, and Shang Lu stood on the steps and leaned over to tease Qi Qing who was standing at the bottom of the steps. The dead leaves turned into butterflies flew between the two and lost their color, and the light refracted by the ink hair shuttled between the two of them. Flowers bloomed in the line of sight, as if the two had suddenly become close friends who had known each other for many years, and when the two looked at each other in the current posture, they were in a different state of mind.

The two walked around the garden in the mansion, and Shang Lu always inquired about Qi Qing's family affairs and hometown intentionally or unintentionally, but was fooled by her.

Just walking to a cluster of blooming hibiscus flowers and standing still, Qi Qing held himself all the way and took out the hairpin, "Zi Ge—"

Shang Lu was staring at the toes of the two of them at this time. This person didn't look suspicious. I really don't know what the second brother said to guard against him, but at this moment when he heard the person calling her, she seemed to be frightened. Lifting her head, she saw the man holding up a delicate little hairpin in front of her, "This is something Mu bought for Zige when he went out today, so treat it as...just a gift from yesterday, this thing is cheaper , I don’t know if the princess will think highly of it..."

At this moment, Qi Qing felt unspeakably weird. Not only did she have to pretend to be this person's face, but she also pretended to give gifts to him. There was always some intention to deceive people's feelings, and she couldn't help doing the little tricks she usually loves to do in embarrassment. , smirked and scratched his head again.

Shang Lu was attracted by the little thing in front of her. The little thing was exquisitely carved but the color was not pure. The little red peppers on it didn't seem to be against the law, but it was a kind of originality.

Afraid that the man would withdraw her hand suddenly, she grabbed the hairpin in her palm as soon as she stretched out her hand, and opened the corners of her mouth to reveal two small canine teeth, "Who says I look down on you, Ah Qing really has a heart! I really like it very much." What! Ah Qing, can you pin it to me?"

Qi Qing was stunned by the girl's innocent and dazzling smile, and when she realized that the hairpin was already in her hands, and the man's neatly combed hair was in front of her, she just raised her neck slightly, and put the hairpin that was originally inserted A small chili pepper was inserted into the hairpin of a jasper hairpin. She suddenly felt a little funny, but she accidentally laughed out loud.

Small peppers with small peppers are really...

If you say that her height, which is almost a head taller than the girl in front of you, belongs to a woman, I'm afraid she won't believe it... Sigh...

Shang Lu was baffled by her smile, turned around and gave her a look, "What's wrong? Isn't it good-looking? What are you laughing at?" After staring, she felt that she had ruined the image of a lady she had established in front of this person before. She was a little shy for a moment, not daring to look at that person.

"That's right", Qi Qing didn't hide it, "It's very suitable for you, it's just tailor-made for you..." After speaking, Qi Qing walked forward.

Why do you deserve to laugh like that?Shang Lu followed with a puzzled expression.
