MTL - Let Me Pursue You-Chapter 72 072

Lu Shiqing didn't know that Shaohe was in Hanliang Hall, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to come here, so he had no choice but to let her go in for now.

Shao He waved away the palace servants, and walked in front very quickly, until he reached the inner hall, then he turned around and said quickly: "What does Minister Lu need?"

Lu Shiqing saw that she had clearly seen his reluctance to make a statement, so he didn't say anything more, maintaining his standing posture and said: "Scissors, gauze, clear water, towel." After a pause, "Thank you."

Shao He nodded, didn't take the risk of calling anyone, and ran to find the things himself, and after delivering all the items to him, Chi asked, "Can you do it by yourself?"

Lu Shiqing was leaning against the door, his face was pale, and beads of sweat dripped down his temples. In order to maintain his sanity, the hand holding the door frame was almost convulsed. Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Please, please look out for me, my lord." .”

The implication is that she doesn't need her help.

Shao He was silent, retreated without saying anything, and ordered a maidservant waiting outside: "Take everything that happened in Hanliang Palace today as nothing, and tell them to keep their mouths shut."

The maid nodded and replied: "My lord, I just got the news that the Lord of Lancang County is coming to Hanliang Palace. Do you think Mr. Lu has kept this matter from her?"

Shao He frowned, shook his head to indicate that she didn't know, looked at the inner hall where Lu Shiqing was, and said, "Let's keep it a secret for now, let me go and have a look."

After she said that, she went to the outer hall, squatted down beside Zheng Hong who was playing dice by herself, and touched his head: "Hong'er, sister, go out for a while, if someone comes to Lu Shilang later, you Say he came earlier but left soon, okay?"

Zheng Hong fiddled with the dice, waved his hand and said, "I see, sister, let's go."

Shaohe went out all the way, and when he reached the gate of Hanliang Hall, he saw Yuan Cixian coming here in a sedan chair from a distance. She was just about to go forward, but she saw another sedan chair suddenly turn out at the fork in the palace road ahead, blocking Yuan Cixian's way.

She stopped, frowning and stopped in place.

Yuan Cixian also yelled to stop the sedan chair, and glanced at the opposite person.

The visitor was dressed in a purple silk robe with large clusters of flowers symbolizing power, with a gold and jade belt pinching his waist. He was tall and thin. He was in his thirties, but his face looked very young, and his beard looked clean. It was Prince Ping Zheng. Ze.

There was a moment of indifference in Yuan Cixian's eyes. It was this person who didn't show any hostility on the outside, who once helped the Prince of Nanzhao abduct her, killed all her cronies and guards, and almost killed Xu Shan twice.

But she quickly laughed, got off the sedan chair and greeted him, then said with a smile: "We meet on a narrow road, the one with the highest rank wins, Your Highness invites you first."

King Ping sat in the sedan chair and said with a smile: "At any rate, this king and the county master also had a few games of chess in Shuzhou. Your words are too unfamiliar. We meet on a narrow road, why bother to decide the outcome? It's not like Lu."

Yuan Cixian glanced at the direction of Hanliang Palace, and then his eyes fell on Shaohe who was standing in front of the threshold, then turned his eyes back and said, "I'm going to talk to Lu Shilang about love, is it true that His Highness is the same?"

He chuckled lightly: "That's not true, I'm going back to Huainan tomorrow, and I'm going to say goodbye to my thirteenth brother." He said with a slightly playful expression, "The county lord and Lu Shilang are both talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven. I just don't know what the relationship between Lu Shilang and Cai Siqing is."

Yuan Cixian was taken aback when he heard the words, then blinked and asked: "Why, Lu Shilang secretly communicated with Cai Siqing behind my back?"

Because King Ping saw the wound on Cai He's right palm in the Xuanzheng Palace, he already suspected that he was Xu Shan. He came here to block people because he wanted to use this to test Yuan Cixian, but now he couldn't help laughing, and he didn't know if she really didn't know It's too good to pretend to be stupid and stupefied, and said silently: "This king didn't say that."

Yuan Cixian looked at him suspiciously: "If you know the inside story, please tell me, at least we have played several games of chess."

Unexpectedly, King Ping would be caught in the wrong way and asked, he waved his hands and smiled helplessly: "This king doesn't know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao He, who had been standing in front of the hall for a long time, also arrived, and said to them indifferently: "Why are the third brother and the county master standing here and chatting?"

Yuan Cixian bowed to her, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Lu Shilang came to Hanliang Palace after his next court, is he in there?"

Shao He shook his head: "The county lord is not in a hurry, Lu Shilang just left not long ago."

She let out a low "ah" and glanced at King Ping: "In that case, can Your Highness and Your Lord allow me to go ahead?"

The two nodded in unison.

After she left, Shaohe looked at King Ping again: "The third brother is here to visit the thirteenth brother? You came at the right time, and this child did not know where he got the bad habit, and he fell in love with playing dice. I can't control him. Please come and train me." As he said that, he was about to welcome him in.

King Ping smiled faintly: "Isn't there Lu Shilang here? You can deceive her with your little lies, and you can also deceive your third brother?"

Shaohe's expression froze, and he said awkwardly: "Third brother, don't get me wrong, I don't want to destroy the marriage between the county lord and Lu Shilang, it's just that he rarely comes to Hanliang Palace, I..."

King Ping shook his head helplessly: "Okay, there is no need to explain so much to the third brother, let's go back. I have something else to do, so I won't go to see the thirteenth brother." After saying that, he turned and left.

Shao He watched him leave, turned around and hurried back to the hall, secretly heaving a sigh of relief. She wasn't sure who exactly Lu Shiqing wanted to hide the injury from. To be on the safe side, it was better not to tell anyone. And Prince Ping installed eyeliner in the palace, so he would not know that he only entered but never exited. Only by admitting that she was deceiving Yuan Cixian and pretending that she wanted to be alone with Lu Shiqing out of selfishness can she avoid his suspicion.

She hurried to the inner hall, wanting to see how Lu Shiqing's injury was. She opened the door and entered, but saw that the inside was empty, and there was nothing there, even the scissors, gauze and other items had been cleaned up. Her heart tightened, and she went back to the outer hall to ask Zheng Hong, but she heard him answer: "Lu Shilang said goodbye to me after changing his clothes. Didn't Sister meet him?"

Lu Shiqing was in the carriage outside the palace. As soon as Shaohe left, Zheng Zhuo's secret whistle sneaked into the Hanliang Palace avoiding King Ping's eyes and ears, and took him out through the side door. Judging from the time, he even left the vicinity earlier than Yuan Cixian.

He re-treated the wound in the carriage, changed his clothes, and just recovered, he suddenly heard the rattling sound of the wheels behind him, as if someone was desperately chasing him.

Cao An, who was driving outside, looked back and said in horror, "Your Majesty, it's the county lord's carriage, can you tidy it up?"

Lu Shiqing's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly took out a box of makeup that was hidden under the car, which he stole from Lu Shuangyu and applied it on his face, confessing: "Not yet."

Cao An turned his head to take another look, thinking that the girl Shicui was driving fast enough, so he hurriedly raised his whip.

Later, Shicui seemed to have received Yuan Cixian's instructions, and shouted at him from afar: "Brother Cao, please stop."

Hearing the words, he said anxiously: "Lang Jun, what should we do?"

Lu Shiqing quickly closed the powder box, cleaned it up, and then said: "Stop."

Cao An quickly pulled the reins, and at the same time, Yuan Cixian's carriage also arrived.

Lu Shiqing stroked her heart, opened her curtain, bent over and asked, "What's wrong?"

She poked her head out and said angrily, "You already know it's me, why don't you stop and ask me to chase after such a long way? Is there something shady in your car?"

Yuan Cixian was skeptical about Shao He's words in front of the Hanliang Palace, and felt that she and Lu Shiqing seemed to have some ulterior secret, but she did see his carriage from a distance as soon as she left the palace gate, so she dispelled her doubts. It's just that I thought about it too much, but Lu Shiqing seemed to have seen a ghost, and refused to let her catch up.

Lu Shiqing explained seriously: "I didn't wear any clothes just now."

Only then did Yuan Cixian notice that he was indeed not wearing an official robe, but a regular uniform, and asked suspiciously, "What kind of clothes are you going to change into? Did you do something to offend me?"

"..."

Lu Shiqing stepped into her carriage one step at a time, went inside and explained: "I accidentally fell down in the Hanliang Palace, and my clothes were dirty."

Yuan Cixian was surprised. Could this be the truth behind her intuition?

Her momentum lost a bit, and she asked, "Where did you fall? Let me see."

Lu Shiqing looked embarrassed for a moment: "Are you sure?"

She nodded.

It was true that his fall was true, so he could produce evidence to reassure her. He sighed, hesitantly loosened his belt, then rolled up his trouser legs and pointed to his bruised knee to show her. He was eager to prove it. It's a bit like a child begging for a reward.

Seeing this, Yuan Cixian let out an "ah".

She wanted to have an injury check just now, but she actually went there to reassure her doubts. Now she really believed it. Seeing the terrifying black and green, she simply convinced him: "It's fine if you have a cold every day or so, how can you walk?" I fell down!" After finishing speaking, I suspected that he was a little guilty just now, and stretched out my hand to touch it and said, "Does it hurt?"

Lu Shiqing let out a "hiss".

It's not that it hurts, but when she touches it close to the skin, somewhere in him is almost harder than this knee.

Yuan Cixian really thought he was in pain, and sighed: "You go in my carriage, come home with me, and I will apply some medicine for you."

This is exactly what Lu Shiqing wanted. His carriage smelled of blood, and Yuan Cixian must not be asked to go up, so he came here on purpose just now.

But he still had to speak hard as usual, and said, "No need, I'm rushing back home to work." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hands to tidy up the messy clothes.

Yuan Cixian's attitude became even tougher, and he ordered to the outside: "Shicui, tell Brother Cao to go back first."

Suffering from his injuries, Lu Shiqing sat in the Yuan Mansion for a while, and after enjoying Yuan Cixian's kind greetings to his knees, he went back to Yongxing Fang on the grounds that he was on business. Pacing back and forth, seeing that he finally came, he seemed to be relieved, and then asked: "You are so seriously injured, where did you go?"

Lu Shiqing choked, and then said honestly: "Yuanfu."

Zheng Zhuo looked like he was about to die of anger, and started to pace back and forth again. After a while, he pointed at him with his index finger: "Sooner or later, your life will be hers."

Lu Shiqing covered his heart and sat down paralyzed at the side, his heart was already there, but he didn't admit it, and changed his words: "What are your plans for Cai Siqing's matter?"

When Zheng Zhuo saw that he was talking about business, he stopped talking, sat down opposite him, frowned and said, "Let's see what's going on. Third brother won't have a chance to do it for the time being. When he returns to Huainan tomorrow, Changan's The situation will be relaxed, and we can take a breath."

Lu Shiqing really disapproved of dragging Cai He into the water. But Zheng Zhuo's move was for him, so he couldn't help but say good things about him. He shook his head and said, "I asked the sage to promote him, not only because he was your hidden stake, but because this person has great talent. Great use, it's just that his temper is too straightforward and his handling of things is not smooth enough, so he has never been promoted. But even if he is not in danger of his life for the time being, he will be suppressed by King Zhongping of the court. He wants to secure his position as Dali Temple Minister. I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Zheng Zhuo was not without regret, and explained with a frown: "In terms of age, he is also in his early thirties, and in terms of background, his parents died early, and in terms of the time when he entered the official position, it is also very consistent. There is really no one under my staff who is more suitable to replace him 'Xu Shan'."

"I know." Lu Shiqing sighed, "You don't have to worry about this for the time being, I will find a way to protect him. Is the matter of 'assassinating' the King of Diannan arranged?"

Zheng Zhuo nodded: "I can act tonight."
