"Since the prince is interested, I don't want to disappoint, please sit in the prince's room."

Qing Lan was sweating anxiously, calling Tang Ling in a low voice: "Master!"

Tang Ling shook her head slightly: "Qing Lan, go make tea."

Qing Lan was extremely anxious, but she didn't dare to go against Tang Ling's wishes, so she kept her mouth shut and went to make tea.

"Such a trivial matter, come on, Ayu."

Just as Ayu was about to take the teapot, Qi Xiao said, "Ayu is fine here, you can go down first."

"Yes."

Ayu exited the room and closed the door intimately.

Tang Ling looked up at Qi Xiao, it seemed that he really had something important to say when he asked Ayu to back down.

"Tonight is really a mess, but just one person came, and the inside and outside of the palace were blown up. There are tigers, yamen servants, and guards in the palace. There are so many people guarding this tofu man. A small courtyard can make such a mess, disturbing Ziyi's sweet dreams, it really should be done."

"Did the assassin catch it?"

Qi Xiao looked at Tang Ling, his eyes were full of sarcasm and slyness, as if Tang Ling asked a stupid question.

"Do you want the assassin caught?"

Tang Ling met Qi Xiao's eyes without any fear, and also laughed: "Just now General Su searched the palace so aggressively, I guess it was to let the assassin escape."

Qing Lan was making tea, when she heard Tang Ling's words, she suddenly turned her head to look, and it happened to fall into Qi Xiao's eyes.

Qi Xiao laughed softly, as if Tang Ling had said something funny, and then said after a while: "If it wasn't for Ziyi's safety, how could Su Qin be able to search Chu Palace if he wanted?"

"In this case, I would like to thank the prince for taking care of me."

Qi Xiao rested his chin on one hand and looked at Tang Ling very curiously: "Do you know how many thanks you have said to me just today? Are you sincere or perfunctory?"

Tang Ling was slightly taken aback, then smiled lightly and said, "Tang is naturally sincerely grateful to the prince."

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows and nodded. He was just asking casually. Whether Tang Ling was grateful to him or suspicious of him, he didn't care. It was just that Tang Ling had a beautiful disguise on her body, which made Qi Xiao curious. Like peeling it off to see what's hidden inside.

He helped Tang Ling in order to return to Beijing, and his goal was soon to be achieved, so there was no need to be a good person and be a favor.

"It's late at night, so I won't bother you.

Good night. "

Qi Xiao got up and walked to the door, then turned around suddenly, raised one corner of his mouth, and showed a smirk, "Oh, by the way, the assassin was injured, Mr. Yue has searched the city overnight, with the assistance of General Su and Huwei Army , the assassin should be caught soon.

Don't worry Ziyi, you should have a good dream tonight, and you will hear the good news when you wake up. "

Tang Ling's face froze, she gritted her teeth, put on a smile again, and respectfully sent Qi Xiao away.

The door was closed again, Tang Ling anxiously asked Qing Lan: "Is it Ye Huai? Is he injured?"

"I didn't see it with my own eyes. The man came in from the west side of the palace, and was soon discovered by the guards of the palace. When I went to see it, the ground was covered with arrows and fresh blood."

"Are you seriously injured?"

Qing Lan frowned and nodded: "Judging by the amount of bleeding, it must be a serious injury.

But I don't know if it hurt the vitals.

Young Master, if Ye Huai... Young Master, we must try to save him! "

Tang Ling sat down, frowning tightly, and said after a long time: "Don't worry, it's not sure if it's Ye Huai.

You and I are in shackles, and we cannot save him. "

He acted alone, obviously not in the same way as those assassins in Hukou Gorge. Tang Ling was almost sure that it was Ye Huai, but he himself was surrounded by layers, and saving people was simply wishful thinking.

Ye Huai's skills are definitely above the first-class masters, and light work is also good, but he is a person after all, and it is too reluctant to break into the palace alone under heavy precautions.

At this moment, Tang Ling could only believe that since Ye Huai could escape, there was a way to hide.

What Tang Ling was worried about was Ye Huai's injury. He believed in Qing Lan's judgment that Ye Huai's injury was not serious. If he was not treated in time, he might still be arrested or... die.

He only has Qing Lan and Ye Huai by his side now, and Ye Huai can't have any accidents.

"Young master, let me find a way to go out and find out the situation?"

Tang Ling shook her head: "Even if you can get out, who will tell you the news? We don't know each other well here, so we can't trust anyone."

"But...then leave Ye Huai alone?"

"It's not necessarily Ye Huai.

Not necessarily him. "

Tang Ling looked anxious, even Qing Lan didn't believe what he said.

"What if it's Ye Huai? Young Master, Ye Huai grew up with you since childhood!"

Tang Ling glared at Qing Lan, suddenly lost her usual gentleness, and said sharply, "I don't need you to remind me."

"...Young Master..."

"go out."

Tang Ling drove Qing Lan away, and sat alone under the lamp.

Ye Huai is not Qing Lan, so he will not be so impulsive, but he broke into the palace at night without any news from Tang Ling for a few days. The guards of the royal palace and the servants of the government office are too many people to sneak in.

It is not easy for the Huwei army to run the army strictly, and it is not easy for the guards of the palace to know each other. The best way is to pretend to be a servant of the government office. Even if you can't get in, it is not difficult to find some news.

Tang Ling calmed down and thought about it, and felt very strange.

Maybe not Ye Huai?What if it was him?Are you really ignoring him?Tang Ling clenched her fists tightly, using all her strength to suppress the restlessness and restlessness in her heart.

He can't mess with himself.

What confused him even more was Qi Xiao's attitude and words. Was the sentence "Do you want the assassin caught?" a temptation?Or something else?

Qi Xiao is clearly just a brat, how could he be so elusive?The tone of his speech just now seemed to be provocative.

Does he know anything?He caught the assassin?Is it Ye Huai?Already know that Ye Huai is his?

Tang Ling couldn't figure it out. Confusion, worry and irritability piled on top of him like waves.

He has been almost blind, deaf or crippled since he joined Chen. He cannot hear, see or move. Now that he is being led by Qi Xiao, it is even more impossible for him to make a difference, but it is not Tang Ling's style to sit and wait for death.

The light was like a bean, it looked weak in the dark night but it always illuminated the square inch in front of Tang Ling's eyes, making him gradually calm down.

Tang Ling's "available person" at the moment is only Qi Xiao.

Since Qi Xiao is willing to save him again and again, there must be a reason, and it is meaningless to guess the reason out of thin air, but Tang Ling is almost sure that Qi Xiao needs time, what is he waiting for, this can be used by Tang Ling.

The dew is heavy late at night, and layers of white mist rise up outside the house unknowingly, making the quiet night reveal a biting cold, it is still late summer but it seems like late autumn.

Tang Ling sat in the room for a long time, feeling cold but not sleepy, so she wrapped herself in a cloak and leaned on the bed to wait for the dawn.

Qing Lan stayed up all night anxiously, poking her head outside Tang Ling's house before dawn.

"Qing Lan, come in."

Qing Lan opened the door and entered, seeing that Tang Ling was sleeping on the couch with her clothes together, she couldn't help nagging: "Master, you are still sick, and it's cold at night, how can you bear it?"

"You take my pulse."

"Hmm, let me see."

Qing Lan thought that his master finally started to care about her illness, and after a whole night of worrying, she finally had something happy, so she checked Tang Ling's pulse and said, "Master is recovering well, continue to drink two more pills and rest for three to five days It will be great."

Tang Ling nodded and said, "Go and tell King Chu that I am in good health and hope to leave for Yuanjing as soon as possible."

"What?! No, son, your body needs to rest and recuperate, so it's not suitable for a long journey."

As a doctor, disobedient patients like Tang Ling have the most headaches. Seeking a doctor is not the case at all. Instead, the doctor is begging the patient instead.

"Qing Lan is obedient, you go quickly."

"No! No! You can't go, young master! Ye Huai's life or death is still uncertain, we can't go!"

"Do you still want to save Ye Huai?"

"Ye Huai?" Qing Lan couldn't get around this corner, "What does this have to do with saving Ye Huai?"

"Am I still your master? Just go."

Qing Lan frowned so much that she almost became a little old man, looked at Tang Ling full of doubts, and took a long time to answer: "Oh... I'll go right away."

***

Tang Ling waited for almost a stick of incense before Qi Xiao came slowly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang Ling playing a game of chess. Looking carefully, it turned out to be the unfinished game from yesterday.

Qi Xiao's chess style is sharp but not reckless, like a sharp knife piercing the enemy's heart, Tang Ling is much calmer and has far-reaching plans. He made no mistakes in every step of the game, and so did Qi Xiao, who became more and more stalemate in the end, and it might be a draw in the end.

"Zi Yi has a good memory, he can use his memory to present yesterday's situation intact."

Qi Xiao sat down opposite Tang Ling, and naturally reached for a chess piece and held it in his hand, as if he came here specially to play chess with Tang Ling.

Tang Ling smiled: "My lord has a good memory, just look at it, and you will know that this round is yesterday's round."

Qi Xiao laughed: "Then let's just be with each other."

"The reason for inviting the prince to come so early is to discuss with the prince so that Tang can leave as soon as possible."

"Departure?"

"Thank you for taking good care of my lord and Dr. Zhou for rejuvenating me recently. I am in good health, and I can leave for Yuanjing today."

"Doctor Zhou said that your illness needs to be recuperated for ten days and a half months. Are you recovering now? Are you in such a hurry?" Qi Xiao looked at Tang Ling with great interest, wanting to see how he was doing so early in the morning. Is to play tricks.

"I have lived in the palace for a few days, and I have been bothering me a lot. Last night, I also attracted a young man to break in. It really caused a lot of trouble for the prince. Now that my illness has recovered, I delayed the trip before. It is time to leave , so that General Su won’t be difficult to explain.”

"That's right..." Qi Xiao tilted his head, paused before saying, "That's true, it's really not good to delay any longer.

But just before I came here, I just got the news that General Su has captured the assassin from last night and is interrogating him. I think General Su will soon find out who is behind the scenes. Dangerous. "

Tang Ling was startled: "He has been caught?"

"Ah."

Qi Xiao smiled, "But Ziyi doesn't seem too surprised."

There is no surprise but no joy.

Tang Ling gritted her teeth secretly. He had no way of verifying whether Qi Xiao's words were true. What if it was just a test?Su Qin had always suspected that the assassins in Hukou Gorge were the secret agents of Da Zhou, and they were here to save Tang Ling.

Didn't Qi Xiao have the same guess?If it was Ye Huai who broke in last night, wouldn't that just confirm their guess?Once he reveals the slightest intention to save Ye Huai, he will not call himself.

The best choice right now is to do nothing, say nothing, sacrifice Ye Huai, put aside all ties, and wait until Yuan Jing contacts his own people before making plans.

Seeing the smug smile on Qi Xiao's face, Tang Ling was so angry that her chest hurt, her eyes became colder and sharper, as if she would stab Qi Xiao a few blood holes at any moment.

"I lied to you."

Qi Xiao frowned and chuckled, "He's not in Su Qin's hands."

"...what does your lord mean?"

"You don't want to save him?"

"..." Tang Ling didn't answer, he didn't believe what Qi Xiao said.

Qi Xiao kept digging holes for him, just wanting him to jump in by himself, like an experienced hunter, patient and ruthless.

He originally wanted to leave Yongcheng as soon as possible to disrupt Qi Xiao's plan, no matter what Qi Xiao was waiting for, Tang Ling was not going to let him wait, if he forced Qi Xiao, maybe he could find out his purpose.

Now it seems that Qi Xiao really doesn't want him to go, and he also knows that Ye Huai is his.

Tang Ling also laughed, and replied: "My lord, I still hope that those assassins will be executed sooner, otherwise I will be the one who died."
