[Seventy-five] Cat control the rivers and lakes

Wang Chao was right. Long before that, Zhan Zhao had already spotted Gongsun Junruo and Zhao Zhen in the crowd, and also discovered that someone was secretly protecting Zhao Zhen from afar.Presumably he didn't allow others to follow, so those people could only lurk secretly in places he couldn't see, pay attention to the situation around the emperor, and go out to escort him immediately if something happened.

It seems that the emperor has gone to great lengths to have fun this time.What Ling Zhanzhao didn't expect was that Gongsun Junruo would be with him.

Why are they together?He thought it would be a concubine next to the emperor.At dinner, Xiaohong asked her if she was busy tonight. She said that she already had an appointment, and it turned out that the person who asked her out was the high-ranking emperor. No wonder she refused to tell Xiaohong who the other party was.

Thinking of the emperor's undisguised affection for her in the past few days, he felt unhappy for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he had already followed behind them.

He knew that doing so was disrespectful to them both, but he just couldn't control his heart, especially when he saw them playing with each other with masks and Gongsun Junruo showing an innocent smile, he realized that she and the emperor could have fun together So happy, and her smile can be so natural.

Such a natural smile was something she had never shown in front of him.

It seems that there is a sense of loss in comparison, and he thinks that if he continues to follow, it will only add trouble to himself, not to mention that there are so many masters around, so why not lack him?

There was a feeling of being caught in his heart, he thought he should leave instead of standing here.

The crowd was lively and crowded, and he was constantly being pushed and pushed, as if this body was not his, and he was unconscious.

"Huh? It's really Zhanwei."

Zhan Zhao was startled, and turned around to see the emperor walking towards him with a smile.Behind the emperor, Gongsun Junruo also looked this way.

The candlelight illuminated half of her face, half bright and half dark.But for some reason, he felt that he seemed to be seen clearly by her eyes hidden in the darkness.He lowered his head, like a child who has done something wrong, not knowing what to do.

"I thought I was wrong before, but I didn't expect it was really you." Zhao Zhen put his shoulders and smiled, "Why, you also come out to play?"

"The emperor..."

"Emperor, what emperor?" Zhao Zhen interrupted him, then approached him and said softly, "I'm just the son of a rich family now."

This... Zhan Zhao looked at him strangely.

"This is an imperial decree, how dare you resist it?" Zhao Zhen showed the king's prestige.

Zhan Zhao had no choice but to go with him, and this was just the beginning. Zhao Zhen invited him to play with them, but he withdrew it on the grounds of "this is an imperial decree".

Two people turned into a threesome, and the emperor's curiosity could not be satisfied no matter how much he watched, just like a child just exploring, he never tired of it.Gongsun Junruo occasionally explained folk gadgets to him, but within half an hour, Zhan Zhao's hands were full of things big and small.

The emperor wanted to continue picking things, but when Zhan Zhao became a porter and his hands were no longer enough, he stopped, and finally bought a bunch of candied haws as a compliment.

The three of them played together for a long time, especially for the point of putting lanterns, Zhao Zhen wanted to put one no matter what.Because Zhan Zhao had too many things in his arms, he could only stand aside and watch them put them away.

The lantern was pushed into the distance by wave after wave, and Gongsun Junruo squatted on the shore, clasped his hands together and prayed silently.The dim candlelight shone on her face, and the breeze blew her hair against her cheek.After Zhao Zhen finished praying, this was what he saw. He stretched out his hand and hooked those disobedient hairs behind her ears.

"My hair is messed up."

This intimate and ambiguous gesture was somewhat diluted by his concerned words. If Gongsun Jun lowered his head and smiled, he would not feel any embarrassment.

And this scene happened to be in the eyes of Zhan Zhao not far away, he stood there blankly, suddenly he seemed to be an outsider.

No, it has been from the beginning.

The mood suddenly became so depressed that he didn't notice the scene where Gongsun Junruo's feet moved aside quietly, slightly moving the distance between her and the emperor.

After praying for blessings, Zhao Zhen proposed to take a walk on the shore. Although it was almost Haishi and most of the tourists who enjoyed the lanterns had dispersed, he still didn't want to go back.Not long after the three left, Eunuch Su jumped out, saying that Concubine Pang was unwell and told him to return to the palace early, and if the Queen Mother knew that he was coming out, it would be difficult for them as slaves to explain.

In the end, it was still no match for Eunuch Su's soft-hearted prayer. The emperor ordered Eunuch Su and the few people who came out with him to bring the gadgets they bought, and ride back to the palace in a carriage.

After saying goodbye to the emperor, Zhan Zhao finally regained his freedom and no longer needed to do the work of carrying.At this time, the lanterns on the moat were still burning with candles, and there were not many people left. The vendors also packed up their stalls and picked up their poles to go home.

The moat is the outermost edge of the entire Bianjing, and it is at least an hour's walk from Kaifeng Mansion. Zhan Zhao looked at Gongsun Junruo and said, "Why don't I rent a carriage."

"No, it's good to walk." Stirring up the hair that was blown by the wind, Gongsun Junruo looked at the sparkling river, and said softly, "Didn't you not take a good look at the evening scene just now?"

Zhan Zhao was startled, thinking she was talking about the scene where he saw her being intimate with the emperor, panic flashed across his face, and then he heard her say, "I've been a porter for so long, and I'm tired." If so, my heart slowly hangs down.

The two walked back along the moat, and the lights in the lanterns were obviously much darker than when they first came here. In addition, people had almost left, and the surrounding area became much quieter.

The lights were a bit dim, and the road was not very clearly illuminated. The two of them were silent all the way, but kept walking in the direction of Kaifeng Mansion keeping an arm's length apart.As he was walking, Gongsun Junruo suddenly let out an exclamation and fell forward.Zhan Zhao strode up, stretched out his hand, hooked her waist and brought her to his side.With the help of the weak candlelight, Zhan Zhao could see clearly that there was a pothole in the road at some point. It must be that Gongsun Junruo stepped into it when his vision was blurred, and he almost fell down.

"Are you okay?" He was concerned, just when Gongsun Junruo raised his head when he was concerned about her, his lips brushed her forehead lightly.

Both of them froze, their eyes met, and neither of them spoke. It was Gongsun Junruo who first noticed the intimate posture of their hugging each other, pushed him away with a blushing face, and took a few steps back.

"I, I didn't do it on purpose, I'm sorry." Looking at her side face anxiously, Zhan Zhao hesitated.The night wind was blowing on his face, and he could feel the astonishing temperature on it without touching it with his hands.

After a long time, Gongsun Junruo said quietly, "Hero Zhan said he didn't do it on purpose, so what are you apologizing for?"

"I……"

"You're still hoping for something like this to happen."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect her to say such a sentence suddenly, and wanted to dismiss it, but found that in fact, he was not only uneasy about what happened before, but also had an element of enjoyment.

In fact, he quite liked being in close contact with her, but he felt it was inappropriate, so there would always be a battle between reason and instinct.

The candles in the roadside lanterns made a beeping sound. It was May and the temperature was getting warmer, and there were more bugs at night.As soon as the roadside lanterns are hung, many insects will be attracted to circle around the lanterns, and some even fly in through the holes of the lanterns, just to greed and enjoy the little light and warmth, but they don't know how to get closer to them. The more the source of fire, the easier it is to ignite the upper body until it is burned to ashes.

"We know that the fire will hurt us, but why are there so many flying insects rushing towards it? Don't they all know that once they get close, they will surely die? Hmph, how stupid."

Following Gongsun Junruo's gaze to one of the lanterns, Zhan Zhao saw a moth flying into the lantern recklessly, and then the candle suddenly lit up, and it didn't take long for it to return to its original dim light.He vaguely felt that he smelled a burning smell, and he didn't know if it was his illusion or what.

"Maybe... just for that little warmth, it's enough to make them smash to pieces."

For that little bit of warmth, he could be smashed to pieces... It seemed that something cleared some of the chaos in his heart. Although there was still a little haze left, he felt that he seemed to understand something.

"Hmm...Brother Niu, you made my family feel very sad..."

"Good Cuihua, don't worry, brother will make you comfortable." Followed by a rustling voice.

"Ah! Nemesis, are you going to kill me? Take it easy!"

"Oh--good sister, your little mouth bites my brother so comfortably, ahh! Take it easy, my brother's younger brother will be bitten off by you!"

"Ah! Ahhh—hmm—yes, so comfortable—"

"Ah - my good sister, you really make my brother and I feel so comfortable down here, I wish I could be in you day and night."

"Good brother, use some strength—— woo! Ha——"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we have a lot of time."

"Well—bad brother, you know how to bully me... oops!"

Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Junruo's expressions were stunned by the conversation between men and women from the riverside. Even though there were some things they hadn't experienced, it didn't mean they didn't understand what happened in the dark.

The willows planted on the bank are now luxuriant, casting a heavy shadow on the embankment in the light of candlelight.And that's where the sound comes from.

Gongsun Junruo secretly looked at Xiang Zhanzhao, and it happened that he was also looking at her.Their eyes collided inadvertently, and both of them felt that their hearts were hit hard by something.Now, even if I turned my gaze away, I felt that the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

The night wind suddenly became stronger, and the lanterns on the roadside swayed, and the shadows of the willow trees were stretched very long. They slapped the embankment, making the sound of rushing water.

"Hero Zhan, have you ever tried running in the dark?" The night wind ruffled her hair, covering half of her face, but she pushed it away with her hands.

Without knowing it, Zhan Zhao looked at Gongsun Junruo inwardly, and saw that she smiled at him with an extremely bright smile, and then ran against the wind.

His mood gradually became more joyful. Looking at the charming figure that was blowing away with the wind, he started to catch up with her.

After all, it was a martial arts practitioner, and it didn't take long to catch up with her.Running to her side, he took her hand and said, "If you don't want to become a drowned chicken, then you have to hurry back to the house before it rains."

In the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, Gongsun Ce was wandering in the courtyard, looking at the sky above his head for a while, and looking at the door for a while, his face was full of anxiety.

"Oh! It's already this time, why don't you come back?" He said to himself, his expression becoming more and more ugly, "It can't be that the emperor... no, no, no! Even if the emperor wants to, Jun Ruo will definitely I won't do that, trust her!"

"Wow--" A flash of lightning as bright as day pierced the sky, followed by a huge thunderclap. Gongsun Ce stared blankly at the dark sky in fright, seeing the dense dark clouds illuminated by the flashes of lightning, he became even more worried up.

"Mr. Gongsun, it's going to rain, why are you here?" Zhao Hu, who had just returned from his tour, saw Gongsun Ce standing in the yard, and asked.

"Zhao Hu, you came just in time, have you seen Jun Ruo?"

"Miss Gongsun?" Zhao Hu blinked, "No, let me ask Zhang Long and the others for you." He turned to the two guards who were talking and laughing behind him, and said to the man on the left, "Brother Long, Have you seen Miss Gongsun?"

Zhang Long hesitated for a moment, then shook his head again and again, "I didn't see her."

"Didn't you see it?" Zhao Hu couldn't believe it.

How can a person who is so naive and can fool the past casually become so shrewd now?Zhang Long looked at Zhao Hu with weird eyes.

"Did you really not see it?" Zhao Hu approached Zhang Long.

"Oh! The emperor will protect her, don't worry!" Zhang Long shouted this sentence, and dragged Wang Chao away.

emperor?Zhao Hu stayed where he was.Why did another emperor run out at this time?This lonely man and widow, lonely man and widow... Doesn't this mean that he has another love rival? !
