The princess relies on the cat to ascend the throne

From the first day she met Lu Wanzhen, Le Ning felt that this person's brain circuit was unusual. She knew that she was a woman and she was also a woman, so she started to act unscrupulously.

She wanted to know for what purpose Lu Wanzhen was molesting herself.

Could it be that she has disguised herself as a man for a long time, and the life in the palace is too depressing, so her heart is depressed, and she simply treats herself as a gentleman over time?

Or, is she just teasing herself to decompress?

No matter what it is, Le Ning feels...it is really sad to be His Highness the Crown Prince.

Receiving Le Ning's gaze, Lu Wanzhen paused for a moment while eating the glutinous rice cakes.

What is the meaning of that complex gaze with understanding in sympathy?

No, what did she do that needs Le Ning's sympathy?

Lu Wanzhen realized that he couldn't understand this person's reaction, so at this moment, the two of them reached an unprecedented consensus.

She is not a fool.

Lu Wanzhen and Le Ning thought at the same time.

So, both of them raised their chopsticks, picked up some food in front of them, and put them in each other's bowls.

"Your Highness, this bream has fewer bones and the meat is tender. You may give it a try."

"Anin, eat more."

When Huang Xing came back, he met such a happy scene.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince is not a ignorant person, but he has to find a way so that His Highness the Crown Prince will not do any ridiculous things, otherwise he will not be able to do anything if he enters the palace. Explain with family members.

Thoughts in Huang Xing's mind turned and turned, and he sat down with the two of them, and the atmosphere returned to normal for a while, but it was much better than before.

"It's inconvenient for Your Highness to stay outside the palace now, I don't know when to return to the palace?" After finishing the meal, Huang Xing hinted this vaguely.

Lu Wanzhen naturally understood what he meant, seeing Le Ning next to him eating with downcast eyes, not paying attention to him at all, Lu Wanzhen cleared his throat.

"Ahem, I came out today to return a cat."

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Le Ning's eyes turned to her.

In Lu Wanzhen's heart, that is called hatred——

Sure enough, the only love in this person's life is a cat.

"Then... where's the cat?" Le Ning thought that Lu Wanzhen didn't bring the cat out from just now, so he looked around for a long time, but he didn't see the shadow of Zhima.

Knowing that Lu Wanzhen was so caring, she thought that she should treat him better.

For example, one more dish?

Many thoughts flashed through Le Ning's mind, but he didn't notice Lu Wanzhen's resentful eyes.

Lu Wanzhen endured and endured, and finally didn't explode when the other party thought it was inexplicable. He just said expressionlessly:

"Outside, I asked the shadow guard to find fresh fish for it."

Le Ning thought carefully in his heart: the fish is best eaten cooked.

But then she thought that in ancient times, the pollution of rivers and seas was not as heavy as in modern times, and there were pure natural and pollution-free raw materials everywhere, so she nodded without saying a word.

Looking at the relationship between the two of them, Huang Xing felt a little uncomfortable.

His Majesty the Crown Prince, the only reason to leave the palace is for a cat?

That makes sense, but——

How did the prince know about Aning's daughter?

Could it be...could it be...? !

The picture in Huang Xing's mind went straight to a direction that was not suitable for children.

His complexion changed again and again, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "It's not early today, and it will take some time to return to the palace. Your Highness should leave earlier."

Lu Wanzhen didn't know why he suddenly changed his attitude towards him.

Raising her eyebrows, she said slowly, "No hurry."

She said: "I still want to see more about Aning—"

Huang Xing's gaze almost pierced her.

Lu Wanzhen realized later, seeing Le Ning's unresponsive appearance, finally decided to restrain himself, so as not to offend her mother's family before her own people chased after her and the other party hadn't repented.

That difficulty is really too high.

Hearing that Lu Wanzhen's tone remained unchanged, he continued lightly: "Cooking."

Huang Xing didn't like her, snorted silently, and pulled a fake smile at her: "Then His Highness can pack it up and bring it back to the palace, and the food box in the restaurant will provide it for free."

Le Ning, who didn't notice the strange pause in her words, also nodded, and got up more actively than Huang Xing:

"Your Highness, wait a moment."

Hee hee, if Lu Wanzhen brought the food box from his shop back to the palace, then everyone in the palace would know that His Royal Highness likes the taste of this restaurant, which is equivalent to invisible publicity.

Well worth it!

Lu Wanzhen: "..."

That is to say, she didn't know what was going on in Le Ning's mind, otherwise she would be so angry right now.

……

a few days later.

Zou Dequan returned to Wang'an with the man in black, and saw a ragged man in a certain dungeon.

After many years, he could no longer identify who the person in front of him was. After all, he was standing on a high place when he did that thing, and he had an aura of power without anger. How could he recognize those ants in front of him? Which is the commoner?

But the other party saw him and recognized him at a glance:

"It's you!"

"It's you, who gave me that baby back then..."

Zou De was shocked with all his heart!

Sure enough, it was because of this, he thought, after so many years, if there is anything in his heart, it is the little bit that flashed in his heart when he met the Lu family couple again in the Zougong restaurant. Subtle guilt.

The Lu family is still looking for people——

Never give up.

Because of the kindness he repaid back then.

Zou Dequan sighed softly, and his complexion didn't change much, he just asked: "Is... is she okay now? I heard that there was a flood in the south."

"How do I know! Officer, sir, he stole the child and sold it to me back then. I don't know anything. Let me go. I have an old man and a young man—"

The man in prison began to act tearfully.

Ying Er said two words indifferently: "Shut up."

"Woooooo..." The man's mouth shut didn't stop him from crying.

Ying Er didn't say anything more, just pulled out the knife beside him, and slowly unsheathed it an inch. The bright cold light flickered in the dark dungeon, sharpened by countless dead souls under the knife.

Soon, the last trace of ghostly screams in the dungeon also disappeared.

Yinger and Zou Dequan said: "Please trouble Mr. Zou and me to go again."

Zou De was exhausted all over the body: "Who is it from the Lu family?"

The Zhou family is not very powerful in the court, because after the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou family had no intention of letting the Zhou family become big, and now the most powerful one in the court is the Duke Lu's mansion, so they can find such a small clue by mobilizing people to find out what happened back then. Follow the clues to his body, no matter how you look at it, it is the work of the Lu family.

"Mr. Zou will know when he sees it."

Shadow Two only said so.

He was calm on the face, but in his heart he was a little bit aggrieved for Le Ning:

The master whom our princess loves so much, who would have thought that he is the chief culprit who caused the princess to be displaced all these years and unable to return home!

Thinking of the hardships that the crown princess suffered in the south when Yingjiu and Yingshi were replying to the mission earlier, she couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep well, and she was threatened every day by the hateful Miaojiang woman, he The heart trembled accordingly.

It's so pitiful, Ying Er straightened his tough body, raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes when he turned around.

Zou Dequan didn't notice it at all, he was only immersed in his own thoughts.

until--

Seeing that vermilion figure.

The pupils of Zou Dequan's eyes shrank suddenly, and the hand hanging by his side trembled, and it took him a while to remember to salute:

"Grassman Zou Dequan, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lu Wanzhen turned around. When Zou Dequan was found in Luoyang, she had already got the news. She wanted to bring him, first to confirm Le Ning's identity, and then to let Le Ning return to Duke Lu's mansion.

She opened her mouth and asked, "Are you guilty?"

When asking questions, Lu Wanzhen's expression was indifferent, her black eyes were bottomless, and the red mole at the end of her eyes looked coquettish and swaying when she smiled, and somewhat unpredictable and strange when she was cold, even now, it is touching Unable to understand her thoughts, I just feel terrified.

When Zou Dequan was asked this question, he closed his eyes and said after a while:

"Slave...deserves death."

Even though he has been out of the palace for many years, he never got rid of this identity. He felt in his heart that after what he did for Concubine Shu back then, he would never be able to leave the court for the rest of his life.

Sure enough... so.

"Master...?"

From a corner not far away, Le Ning's hesitant voice sounded.

Lu Wanzhen drank her bowl of goat's milk tea boiled with tea leaves and thought it tasted good, so she sent her to make another bowl, so after Zou Dequan was brought into the courtyard, no one stopped Le Ning.

She was holding a porcelain bowl at the moment, and she was at the door with a hesitant expression, not knowing whether she should come in or not.

Lu Wanzhen's original aura froze, and when he saw her, he disappeared without a sound, and nodded to her, indicating that she could come in.

Le Ning trotted over with the milk tea in his hand, and handed the bowl to Lu Wanzhen, but his eyes were on Zou Dequan, and there was an unconcealable smile of surprise in his eyes:

"When did the master come back to Wang'an? Why don't you let the disciples know, so that my brothers and I can pick you up."

"Before, I was uncertain about my whereabouts outside, so I didn't dare to message Master, fearing that I might not receive a reply. Later, when I returned to Wang'an, I heard that Master had taken my brother to Luoyang, so I kept waiting in the restaurant."

"Recently, the restaurant's business is good..."

Before Zou Dequan said anything, Le Ning blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, brows and eyes full of smiles.

It was rare for Lu Wanzhen to see her so happy, and he didn't interrupt her. He just listened to her and occasionally lowered his head to take a sip of her hot milk tea.

The mellow milky smell flows between the lips and teeth, and the muttony smell unique to sheep is drifted away by the tea leaves, leaving only a faint tea fragrance, which makes people want to smell it.

It tastes even different from Central Plains' milk, and Lu Wanzhen finished another bowl with ease.

Zou Dequan was also amazed at how the little disciple came here. Before he guessed the relationship between Le Ning and that child back then, he heard Le Ning whisper:

"I am invited by His Highness and Brother Lu to come to the Duke's mansion as a guest."

Then she turned her head and asked Lu Wanzhen: "The surprise His Highness wants to show me is my master?"

Zou Dequan's expression changed.

Almost immediately, his eyes eagerly passed between Le Ning's eyebrows, his eyesight was not very good, he looked back and forth three or four times, and finally saw the eyebrows at the end of Le Ning's right eyebrow The traces of a slightly lighter color are so light that people can't find them at a glance.

Zou De was shocked with all his heart!

The little apprentice turned out to be...

is her?

He was at a loss for words for a moment.

But Lu Wanzhen didn't want Le Ning to see Zou Dequan's current appearance. For some reason, she changed her mind and just wanted to make Le Ning happy for a longer time, so without saying a word, she passed Le Ning's shoulder and let her face herself Standing with his back to Zou Dequan.

Le Ning was pulled by her, and looked up at her blankly.

However, Lu Wanzhen slightly raised his chin, and signaled her: "Just now I was in a hurry to go out, and I forgot my handkerchief, wipe it for me."

Le Ning saw the little mark on her lips, and felt a little helpless to take out a cloth towel. These days, both men and women will wear a handkerchief when they go out, so as not to be inconvenient to deal with any water on their body, but women's are more delicate.

She wiped Lu Wanzhen attentively and earnestly, made sure that it was clean, and was about to leave.

Lu Wanzhen called her to stop: "Hey, it's not good yet."

Le Ning frowned, stared at her lips carefully for a long time, "Okay." She muttered softly.

Lu Wanzhen was calm but persistent: "No."

Le Ning's shoulders were slumped, and he simply wiped Lu Wanzhen's lips with his hand. The moment his finger touched it, Lu Wanzhen pursed his lips slightly, and kissed her fingertips lightly. Before Le Ning could react, she was gone Taking a step back, with a smile in his eyes, he said with satisfaction:

"Well, it's finished now."

The author has something to say: Lu Wanzhen: I tease, I tease hard, I can definitely tease!

Le Ning: What's going on with her?
