"My lord!" Ji Qingzhou hurriedly got up, her ears were red with embarrassment.

Li Zhan glanced over the young man's red ears, and only responded lightly, with an unpredictable tone in his voice.

"I've never seen you talk so much on weekdays." Li Zhan said.

"I... thought you were Mr. Qin." Ji Qingzhou lowered her head slightly, not daring to look up at Li Zhan's expression.

Ji Qingzhou is not a person who likes to confide in others, even to Tu Dayou, he usually doesn't say these hypocritical things.Today, it was just that the impact was too great, and the psychological defense line was a little loose. In addition, I have been with Qin Zheng for the past two days, and I feel that the other party can understand his emotion, so I can't help but say a few more words!

Who would have thought that it was not Qin Zheng who came, but Li Zhan!

At this moment, Ji Qingzhou can't wait to find a crack in the ground and get in and never come out again!

Li Zhan stared at the young man for a while, then finally looked away, looked at the little emperor who was riding with Qin Zheng on the horse farm, and asked calmly, "What are you going to do?"

"I..." Ji Qingzhou frowned for a moment, then replied, "I don't know."

"You know." Li Zhan's tone was not very severe, even a little casual, but Ji Qingzhou could hear a little certainty from his short three words.It seemed that Li Zhan saw through him all at once.

Ji Qingzhou had to compromise: "Yes... I know, but I can't do it."

"This king told you from the beginning that this matter is difficult." Li Zhan said.

It was only then that Ji Qingzhou remembered that Li Zhan had indeed said this to him, but the young man at that time was full of resentment and just wanted to find that person for Xiao Shan desperately!It wasn't until seeing He Man today that Ji Qingzhou understood what Li Zhan meant by "difficult"...

The difficulty is not how to find this person, but how to make a choice after finding him.

It was Ji Qingzhou's previous plan to take him to the Punishment Department and die for Xiaoshan.

But now Ji Qingzhou vaguely felt that if He Manzhen died for Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan might not be able to live alone.In this way, Ji Qingzhou felt that instead of saving Xiaoshan, he had killed one more person... He didn't know why things turned out like this.

The reason may be as Qin Zheng said, because he doesn't understand love, so it's too simple to think of all this...

"Let's go for a run with me." Li Zhan said suddenly.

"Ah?" Ji Qingzhou was taken aback, and secretly said that it's okay for me to take a walk, but it's a bit reluctant to ride a horse.

Li Zhan didn't wait for him to refuse, and said again: "If you win, I will reward you."

"It's impossible for me to win the prince." Ji Qingzhou said.

Li Zhan gestured to Dong Dong, and Dong Dong immediately led two horses over. Li Zhan took the lead and turned over one, then pulled the rein and looked at Ji Qingzhou, and said, "It's difficult, but it's not impossible. , you are not going to try, just give up like this?"

Ji Qingzhou met Li Zhan's gaze, took a deep breath and took the reins from Dong Dong's hand.

He didn't have much strength in his hands, and he didn't feel easy just getting on the horse's back.

"Drive!" Seeing him getting on the horse, Li Zhan waved his whip and left without waiting for him to get ready.

Ji Qingzhou didn't dare to delay, and chased after him with his horse's belly.

However, Li Zhan's horse was too fast, Ji Qingzhou hadn't stabilized his figure, and Li Zhan's horse had already run a half circle.Ji Qingzhou wobbled and pulled the rein of the horse, and it took a lot of effort not to let himself fall, but the speed was far behind Li Zhan's by a thousand miles.

"Wow, Uncle Huang's horse runs so fast, I'm going to ride with Uncle Huang." The little emperor said excitedly.

Qin Zheng sat behind him and controlled the rein of the horse, and said helplessly, "Be careful, Your Majesty, don't fall."

"Huh?" The little emperor looked at Ji Qingzhou, and said, "Eunuch Ji is slower than you in riding a horse!"

Qin Zheng was speechless, stretched out his hand to pull the rein of the horse, and said to the little emperor, "Your Majesty, sit still!"

In just a short while, Li Zhan had almost finished the lap, but before the finish line, he suddenly pulled the rein and turned the horse's head, sitting on the horse's back and looking at Ji Qingzhou from a distance.

Ji Qingzhou kept urging the horse with his mouth, but he couldn't do it. The speed was horrible.

Seeing that Ji Qingzhou was slowly approaching, Qin Zheng caught up with the little emperor with one hand and the rein with the other.

The little emperor shouted excitedly, and then the two passed Ji Qingzhou and Li Zhan who stopped there.At the same time, Ji Qingzhou's crotch/dismounted horse was startled by Qin Zheng's horse, and subconsciously made a dodge movement. Ji Qingzhou was already sitting unsteadily, and immediately fell off the horse after such a jolt.

Ji Qingzhou's stature is already thin, so if he fell headfirst from a tall horse, he might be seriously injured.

However, the moment he was about to land, Li Zhan abandoned Ma Fei and got down, grabbed the boy by the back and pulled him into his arms.Li Zhan grabbed Ji Qingzhou and rolled on the spot with the momentum of the landing, barely hurting anyone.

The young man was terribly frightened, he took a few breaths, his face almost lost all color.

Li Zhan stared blankly at the young man below him, and when he heard the young man panting uncomfortably, his eyes froze suddenly, and his expression appeared momentarily dazed.However, before he could recover, the young man raised his arm, crawled out from under him, then grabbed the rein and got on the horse again, and swayed across the finish line in front of Li Zhan.

Li Zhan: ...

"Wow, you won!" The little emperor jumped up to meet him, stretched out his hand to pull Ji Qingzhou who had dismounted, and said, "Uncle Huang lost!"

Li Zhan, who was behind him, brushed the dirt on his body expressionlessly, but his gaze was sizing up the young man intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Does this count as my victory?" Ji Qingzhou asked Li Zhan.

"Forget it." Li Zhan said, "Why don't you count it?"

Ji Qingzhou obviously didn't expect this result, and was both lucky and ashamed for a while.

But since the regent wanted to let him go, he won't win for nothing...

Ji Qingzhou led the horses of the two back to return, only to realize that Qin Zheng had gone to the corner of the racecourse at some point and was talking to someone.Ji Qingzhou took a closer look and found that the person standing in front of Qin Zheng was none other than He Man.

He was far away and couldn't see clearly, only He Man seemed to be at a loss.

Then, He Man suddenly knelt down in front of Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to pull him, but He Man got up and kowtowed to him...

"Qin Zheng told him everything." Li Zhan walked to Ji Qingzhou and said.

"He's begging Mr. Qin to see Xiaoshan, right?" Ji Qingzhou asked.

Li Zhan was noncommittal, just said: "Since you found him, you should give him a chance to choose."

"If... they can meet again... maybe it's good." Ji Qingzhou said: "At least, Xiao Shan doesn't have to walk alone, and He Man doesn't have to wait for Xiao Shan day after day in the dark."

Li Zhan glanced at the young man and said, "You don't think so in your heart."

The young man didn't answer, Li Zhan said again: "You have read the regulations, you don't want to accept this result."

"I just think it's unfair." Ji Qingzhou said: "I know the palace rules are like that, but I just think it's unfair."

Li Zhan asked: "Do you want to seek justice for them?"

"No, I can't do it." Ji Qingzhou said: "In this palace, the lives of slaves are like ants, and ants are not qualified to seek fairness. I know that I am ridiculous, and I have been ridiculous from the beginning. "

Hearing this, Li Zhan's eyes fell on the young man's side face again, and he said calmly, "It's not that ridiculous."

The young man turned his head to look at him in a daze, with some doubts in his eyes.

"Don't meddle in this matter anymore," Li Zhan said.

"But I..." Ji Qingzhou wanted to say something, but Li Zhan raised his hand and tapped his lips lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Let's stop here."

The man's fingertips touched Ji Qingzhou's lips with a slight coolness. Before Ji Qingzhou could react, he saw that Li Zhan had already walked towards Qin Zheng quickly, and he didn't know what he was urging in Qin Zheng's ear.

Then several guards took He Man away. Before leaving, He Man looked at Ji Qingzhou from a distance, and bowed to him.

Looking at He Man's back, Ji Qingzhou felt very tired.

Only at that moment did he realize how insignificant his power was in this palace.

When Ji Qingzhou returned to the courtyard listlessly, it was already late.

Tu Dayou looked at him with a meaningful expression.

"Look at your expression, are you done?" Tu Dayou asked.

"I found that person, but the prince won't let me interfere any more." Ji Qingzhou said.

"That's fine." Tu Dayou said: "Since the person is handed over to the Punishment Department, the Punishment Department will naturally act according to the law, so what if you intervene?"

"Well." Ji Qingzhou nodded, knowing that his ability was limited, and he really couldn't continue to deal with this matter.

"Do your best and listen to the destiny." Tu Da You said: "You have already done what you should do, and Xiao Shan won't blame you."

Thinking of Xiaoshan, Ji Qingzhou felt sad again.He didn't know what would happen after Xiao Shan and He Man met, whether He Man would die for Xiao Shan, or if the two of them confessed to the crime together and died hand in hand.But no matter what kind of result, Ji Qingzhou is not what he wants to see.

"The reward from the prince is here, let's go in and have a look." Tu Dayou said.

Ji Qingzhou was startled, and then remembered that he "won" the regent by running a horse.Although the other party said that he would reward him, Ji Qingzhou felt that he was very reluctant to win, and he had no face to ask for a reward from the other party, but the regent still remembered it.

He entered the room and took a look, and saw a brand-new red bodyguard on the couch, the corresponding hat, boots and belt were also fully equipped, and there was even a brand-new waist card with the words Yinghui Pavilion engraved on it. .

"The chief eunuch of Yinghui Pavilion is the sixth rank. You can go to Yinghui Pavilion to be on duty tomorrow." Tu Dayou said: "Congratulations to Qingzhou, you have achieved many people in less than two months." Something that can never be done in a lifetime."

How many servants in this palace have spent their whole lives as servants, and never got into official positions until their death.But Ji Qingzhou has only been in the palace for more than a month, but he is already on the same level as Tuda.It's just that this rank is not very attractive to him, but the red servants look better than the blue ones.

"Is this the reward the prince gave me?" Ji Qingzhou asked.

"No, wasn't this matter decided that day in Yanting? The royal hand letter passed down by Mr. Qin himself." Tu Dayou said.

Ji Qingzhou was startled, and then saw Tu Dayou pointing to the food box on the table.

Ji Qingzhou reached out to open the food box, and saw a plate of croquettes inside.

Ji Qingzhou: ...

The reward given to him by the regent was a plate of croquettes? ? ?
