Regent, he has my cub

"What did you call me just now?"

Le Zhengchun went home to deliver food to his wife, Chen Ting retreated outside early on, Yun Youqing sat down and looked at Ji Xuanling who was so attentive, and asked coldly.

Ji Xuanling said calmly: "Youqing, that's what I called you just now, what's wrong? Or should I call you Jingzhi?"

But whether it is called by name or by name, it seems to be too intimate.

"you--"

"Youngqing is better." Ji Xuanling made a decision on his own.

Yun Youqing decided not to argue with him, the little bastard is rascal and unreasonable now, it doesn't make sense at all.

"If you have anything to say, you must come here to say it?"

He guessed that Ji Xuanling's invitation to come out was not just a simple apology, but the so-called private rooms on both sides of Tianxiang Pavilion didn't seem to be a good place to talk.

Ji Xuanling smiled but said nothing, and gave him a piece of food with chopsticks, "Taste how the food here tastes first."

He still has to wait for one more person, a person who has pierced through all of Yun Youqing's disguises in front of him.

Outside the window, there was a bustling flow of people, and the sound of hawking continued, creating a bustling scene.

In contrast, the private room they were in was much quieter, with no one on the left or right.When Yun Youqing came to his senses, he was a little dazed for a while while holding up his chopsticks.The little brat who always liked to rely on him in the past has really grown up.

At least, now he has begun to be unpredictable about the other party's thoughts.

"Youqing really likes this." Seeing Yun Youqing eating the food he picked up, Ji Xuanling smiled, found a comfortable position, and leaned on the table.He was holding a teacup in his hand, but he was even more informal than the person holding the wine glass, and he was holding a teacup in a dissolute manner.

Yun Youqing frowned and said, "Your body is crooked, you don't have a sitting position, how decent is it?"

"You Qing is no longer a teacher, do you want to take care of me like this?" Ji Xuanling was not annoyed, but a little happy, "When was the last time we sat together for a meal, I can hardly remember. It’s comforting to think about me that way.”

Yun Youqing, who had always defined himself as a traitor and traitor, had nothing to say for a moment.

If the rebellious ministers and thieves are like him, why worry about the world is not peaceful.

Ji Xuanling seemed to have made up his mind to block his eyes, and he put his legs on the stool while speaking, only to have a beautiful woman sitting next to him, and he looked like a real fool.

"Two years..." he said, "I have blamed you for two years, but I have never hated you."

Yun Youqing's movements were slightly stagnant, and there was a trace of panic in his heart.

He thought he had done enough at the beginning, but today Ji Xuanling said that he didn't even hate him.

"If I have to say hate, I just hate that you never explain, and I hate that I never thought about getting to the bottom of it. We have become like this, it was never because I didn't believe you enough, but you never thought of asking me to believe you." Ji Xuanling sneered, wondering if he was blaming him for being so cold.

Yun Youqing didn't expect him to be so sudden.

And all of this seems to have started from the accident they made by mistake.

Speaking of this, it seems useless to pretend to be stupid.

"Ah Xuan..."

Ji Xuanling shuddered suddenly.

This "Ah Xuan" sounded like a long time ago.

For a moment, he was so full of thoughts that he couldn't speak. Finally, he raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, and said restrainedly: "Youqing, you can trust me once, okay?"

Even if he had to go through the thorns and thorns, it was better than Yun Youqing to die with them with the heart of death.

This shouldn't be his end.

Yun Youqing looked at the hope in his eyes, and couldn't help but waver, but he didn't have time.

He showed his first smile after returning from the border, and sighed: "You will be a good emperor."

Ji Xuanling seldom heard his compliments, but what he wanted was a promise, not a childlike compliment.

The two were silent.

During the confrontation, a lot of people suddenly gathered outside Tianxiang Pavilion, pointing at one place, talking to each other, it was very noisy.

Downstairs, a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old was surrounded by a dozen or so helpers led by an elderly woman, holding scissors that came from nowhere, staring at her defensively. with these people.

Ji Xuanling's expression changed, and he glanced down.

The man he was waiting for seemed to have arrived.

"Run, why don't you run again?" The old woman's voice was very loud, and when she uttered the sound, all the people around were dumbfounded.She had a ferocious expression on her fleshy face, and said sharply to the little girl: "If you have entered my Qiushuifang, there is no reason to go out again!"

The little girl took two steps back in fear, her hands holding the scissors trembled slightly.

"I didn't come by myself at all!"

There were some people around who wanted to meddle in their own business, but after hearing this, they all stopped thinking now.

Where is Qiushuifang?That is the largest fireworks site in the city. I heard that the boss has a strong background, and ordinary people would never dare to make trouble on the site of Qiushuifang.Although the little girl looked a bit embarrassed, the clothing and jewelry on her body were all top-grade. If she was caught back, she would have to hang up to pick up guests tonight.

Yun Youqing also saw this scene, and with a slight frown, Ji Xuanling knew that he was unhappy, maybe he was still aggrieved by that little girl.I don't know why Le Zhengjun firmly feels that the regent has the heart of disobedience to plot evil.

"Don't you want to go down and have a look?" Ji Xuanling knew that he wanted to go, and he also knew that he would go, so he asked just right.

Yun Youqing turned around and went downstairs, Chen Ting, who had been waiting outside all this time, saw that someone had left, and opened the curtain, "My lord, shall we go down too?"

Ji Xuanling was leaning against the window to watch the excitement, "Don't worry, just wait."

He ordered the wine glass on the table and signaled Chen Ting to come over and pour the wine.Just now, thinking about Yun Youqing's presence, the jug of wine has been put aside like a display, after all, his royal uncle probably won't want to see this mistake for a long time.

Under Tianxiang's attic, facing a group of tall and strong men, the pair of scissors in the little girl's hand was of no help at all.

The old woman was afraid of accidentally scratching her earning face, so she resisted asking anyone to do it, and she thought she was kind enough to advise: "Girl, I advise you not to be ignorant, which of the girls in Qiushuifang didn't come here like this. You As long as you are obedient and obedient, you will naturally have comfortable days waiting for you, wouldn't it be better than the days when you have eaten your last meal and never had a second meal. I will not ask someone to do it, and you will have to be beaten when you go back. "

These threats and temptations still failed to make the little girl put down the scissors in her hand.

"I didn't come here by myself! I can't stay there, I want to go home!" The little girl's voice trembled, her emotions became agitated, and the corners of her lips were bleeding from her own bite.She probably also knew her own value, so she simply put the scissors on her neck and kept stepping back.

As soon as he retreated, he bumped into someone else.

The onlookers who don't want to cause trouble are all as far away as possible, so when someone approaches, it will be particularly eye-catching.

Not to mention such a good-looking person.

"How much is she worth? I will redeem her body..." The person who spoke was Yun Youqing who came down to meddle in other people's business.

He was naturally noble, and the old woman in Qiushuifang would not be so blind, "It's natural to redeem her body, but we also spent a lot of money to buy her, and added a lot of clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache. The price..."

Yun Youqing was also unwilling to argue with her too much, and said bluntly, "How much?"

He didn't blink his eyes when he said this, and he was very rich and powerful.The old woman in Qiushuifang was not too polite, and she opened her mouth for 3000 taels.

3000 taels is not a small amount, many people will never see this much money in their whole life, Yun Youqing is naturally not short of this money as the regent, but it is not enough to carry so much money with him whenever he goes out.

He thought for a moment, and calmly said, "Send someone to follow me back to get the money."

The old woman readily agreed, but the little girl refused.She was also wary of Yun Youqing: "Even if you pay the money, I won't go with you."

"You don't have to follow me, you are free." After Yun Youqing finished speaking, she ignored her.Only then did the little girl half-believe that he was a bad guy who came out to take advantage of him.

Yun Youqing, who still didn't know that he had become a good person, turned his head to the old woman and said, "Follow me..."

The old woman was not afraid that he would renege on the bill, so she beckoned the dozen or so big men to follow, but another person came out and stopped them.

"Don't bother, I have exactly 3000 taels here."

Hearing a familiar voice, Yun Youqing suddenly turned around, only to see that Ji Xuanling had put on a mask at some point, holding a stack of bank notes in his hand, no more, no less, exactly 3000 taels.

After dismissing the people from Qiushuifang, the little girl didn't know what to do.Ji Xuanling coaxed her to go to the Prince Regent's Mansion together, and at the same time, he himself followed with a shameless face.

"What's your name?" On the carriage back, Yun Youqing asked the origin of her name.The phrase "I didn't want to come" that the little girl said again and again before made him a little concerned after all.

"My name is Shulan..." The little girl finally believed that they were not people with ulterior motives, and she let go of her guard.

According to what she said, she was originally the daughter of a merchant in a small county with some small business at home, and she was drugged and kidnapped when she went out to play.She was locked up with a group of girls who were also kidnapped for more than two months. It was not until a few days ago that she and some of the girls were singled out and sent to Qiushuifang.

This is a human trafficking.

Yun Youqing promised Shulan that she would send someone to take her home, and then called the steward to let him arrange it properly.

In a blink of an eye, there were only the two of them left.

Ji Xuanling had already taken off his mask, and stood there looking at him with a smile on his face.

Yun Youqing felt more and more that he couldn't see through him, "Is this the real purpose you asked me to come out today?"

No more, no less, 3000 taels of silver bills, the carriage prepared early, and the mask in his hand for fear of being recognized in front of others.Everything, as if he already knew what would happen today.

"Would you believe me if I said that I would know the future?" Ji Xuanling smiled unabated, as if he was playing a harmless joke with him.

If it wasn't for such an unbelievable thing, Yun Youqing would probably believe it.

"What did you find out?"

"Let's just say..." Ji Xuanling said.

He didn't find out about this matter, but he learned about it from Shu Lan after Yun Youqing's death.

Originally, on this day, Yun Youqing would go to the military camp outside the city to inspect after coming down to court, and rescue Shulan outside the Tianxiang Pavilion on the return journey.It's just a coincidence, this time, in order to avoid him, Yun Youqing had claimed sick leave for a long time, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to put things back on track.By the way, the Qiushuifang case, which didn't see the light of day until nearly a year later, was made public.

So to a certain extent, Ji Xuanling is indeed able to predict the future.

"You may not have imagined that this human trafficking has something to do with Lord Lu and Duke Rong."
