Don’t Learn Mandarin Ducks

There is a faint smell of blood in the air, like a fox tail that cannot be hidden, swaggering embarrassingly.

Why is Li Jingyun here? Or is she dreaming, and the person in front of her is just a phantom she imagined because of her guilty conscience?

The eyelashes fluttered, and Huayue glanced at him uneasily. Seeing that he didn't speak or move, she hesitantly stretched out her hand, wanting to poke it.

However, as soon as the index finger reached the front of his shirt, the man moved.

Li Jingyun squeezed her hand, her eyelids drooped, and her expression was slightly disgusting. He wiped the blood between her fingers with his cuff, and frowned: "This is the first time you have done something to someone?"

These words came out of nowhere, and she didn't know if she was too nervous, so she replied: "Yes."

"If you have time, I will teach you a teacher, and I will teach you how to do it without blood on your body."

"Oh good."

"Are people dead?"

"No."

"Then you don't have to flee too hastily." He wiped her hands clean, squeezed his eyes, and put them into his palms with satisfaction, "Let's go slowly with your lord."

He pulled her body into the sunlight outside, and the light was so dazzling that she subconsciously raised her sleeves to cover her face. The person walking in front seemed to notice it, and on one side of the body, the tall head directly covered her in the shade.

Flower Moon was dumbfounded.

Isn't he surprised to see such a scene? Not curious? Why don't you even ask a question.

Looking down, she saw his boots. This person should have come here on horseback. The side of the official boots has a fine print from the stirrup. He came in a hurry, so he rubbed the black wall of the prison on his shoulder and ignored it.

These signs of hurry and anxiety do not match his calm and calm appearance now.

Hua Yue pursed her lips and looked up at the back of his head.

"Young Master." She asked, "How did you come out?"

Li Jingyun answered without answering: "Over the wall."

Flower Moon: "…"

The two had already walked out of the station, she gritted her teeth and pulled him, slightly annoyed: "The case hasn't been heard yet, how can you escape from prison casually? , when the time comes, the way to survive will also become a dead end, how can the son be so confused!"

Li Jingyun turned her head, Mo Tong stared at her with a slight smile: "Allow you to kill the prince's disciples, and you won't let me escape to heaven?"

"Can that be the same?" She stomped her feet, "I cut off Situ Feng's arm, no one will know. You are on the cusp of the storm, and the eldest princess knows about it, so you haven't pushed it directly to the guillotine. go?"

The unrepentant Yan Luo, who was full of anger before, suddenly turned into a little white rabbit with glaring brows, Li Jingyun was full of relief, and reached out to twirl her temples.

The little rabbit slapped his paw angrily: "I'm dying, why don't you ask me why I can't get along with Situ Feng?"

"You've always been reluctant to tell the truth to you, and it's no use asking." He looked into her eyes and said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "Wait until you're willing to say it, then you'll listen."

Staring at the hands they held together, she was suddenly discouraged and said with her head lowered: "I have an old grudge with Situ Feng, I know he was exiled, so I prepared at this inn early I've thought about it, he doesn't know my face, and the **** officer sees that his life is still alive, so he won't investigate him, and I won't implicate the general's mansion anyway."

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and glared at him: "You already knew that I wanted to do it."

Li Jingyun chuckled, and said in a very good mood: "Master is just afraid that you will not handle it well, so people will stare at it in advance, so that you can clean up the mess for you when you make a mistake. In the end, you did a good job. Pretty clean."

He touched her head and said proudly, "As expected of a person from the East Courtyard."

Is this something to praise? Hua Yue could not laugh or cry, she thought that Li Jingyun would blame her, or that she was cruel and vigilant and expelled her from the general's residence. But this person didn't, and he was even worried about whether she could do it neatly.

Remembering that he confessed to her about Xifenglou that day, Huayue looked complicated.

He seems to be gradually opening his heart to her, such an arrogant and arrogant person, he also plots against her and threatens her, but he sincerely admits his mistake and really tells her what she wants to know , even when she found out that she was going to kill someone, she did not hesitate to become her accomplice.

What does this person want to do?

Seeing the doubts in her eyes, Li Jingyun flicked her forehead: "Let's go, if you don't go back, Master really absconded in fear of crime."

Brows hurt, she frowned, and asked as she walked, "Isn't this absconding now?"

"When you came to save Master, you knew how to use a wooden plank to block arrows. How could Master be so stupid that he really gave the handle to someone else?" He hummed, "No one noticed when he came out, There are still people in the prison guarding for the father."

He was relieved, and Huayue let out a long breath.

The two got on the horse, Li Jingyun pulled the reins, and still shook his head in disgust: "You just don't have the ability to see, if you sacrificed your life and threw yourself on him at that time, he would definitely be moved to tears. , and immediately swore that you are the only one in this life, and will never marry another."

Grasp the saddle, Huayue rolled her eyes: "That's really going to plant a loquat tree for my concubine."

"What does the loquat tree mean?" He wondered.

"There is a loquat tree in the courtyard, which was planted by my wife in the year of her death. Now it is like a pavilion." Huayue looked complicated, "Young master lies on the couch every day, what books do you read?"

Being pinched at the waist, the voice of the man behind him was quite gnashing: "Master is reading the military book, who has time to read these words of mourning. Also, this thing is not auspicious, I'm going to break your leg again."

Just now, she was gentle and gentle, but in a blink of an eye, she turned back to her wicked appearance. Huayue sighed melancholy, but the corners of her mouth lifted up inexplicably.

Today is a good day, it’s time to take revenge and ride with others.

The reason is that Li Jingyun asked her to go to Qifeng Building to help clear the account.

Hua Yue doesn't know why this master's heart is so big, it's not enough to tell her a secret, and let her intervene in the accounting, the reason is that the general's account is doing well, recently Xifenglou was too busy, so let her help.

As the head and aunt of the General's Mansion, she has enough work to do. She originally wanted to resist, but this person earnestly offered her three times as much monthly money as the General's Mansion.

Is this a monthly money issue? Kazuki thought angrily—

She just likes to clean up the accounts, just one more copy, how can she say it is because of the monthly money.

So on this day, she sat in the darkroom of Qifeng Building reading the ledger.

"There have been many accounts in the past few months. I have reviewed them once, and there are no major mistakes." The shopkeeper said to her, "It's just that there is a bad debt that is too big, please tell the owner."

Hua Yue took a look at the account carefully, oh, distinguished guest: Long Rin, the amount of the debt: three thousand taels.

With her fingertips on the number, Huayue turned her head and asked, "What is this three thousand tael spent on?"

superior."

What kind of guests can spend three thousand taels for a banquet? Hua Yue thought about it for a while and asked, "The shopkeeper has a lot of knowledge in this place, can you recognize who the guest was that day?"

The person in front of him recalled for a moment, dipped his hand in the tea, and wrote a name on the table.

Kayue squinted.

***

The weather in Jinghua is getting warmer recently, and every hospital has started to take a nap, no one will be busy for half an hour after a meal.

Except Huo Geng from the East Palace.

Huo Geng is just a servant of the prince, and there will be nothing to do on weekdays, but for some reason, Da Siming suddenly started to trouble him, asking him to tidy up the altar instead of telling him Ladle out the water in the fish pond and replace it with a new one.

He felt that he didn't do this job, but after Da Siming said so, Huo Geng didn't dare to ask more, he could only scoop up the water bitterly.

"Hey, where is Shen Zhiluo?" Someone came from a distance and asked him.

Huo Geng raised his head with a frown and saw the face of the person who came, his eyes brightened: "Miss Su."

Su Miao looked around and smiled at him: "Didn't you say that Lord Shen is on the side of the altar? No one was seen."

"He's in the wing over there." Huo Geng pointed and reminded softly, "My lord has been in a bad mood for several days, be careful."

Su Miao nodded gratefully at him, and glanced at the gourd in his hand: "What are you doing?"

He scratched his head embarrassedly, Huo Geng said: "Sir, let me scoop up the water in this pool."

“…”

Glancing aside, Su Miao whispered, "Wait."

She tore off the lotus leaf stem in the pond, put it in the water and blew it, saw a bunch of bubbles appearing on the water, then immersed the whole stem in the water, soaked Then, with the thumb on one end of the stem, take out the water and go over the edge of the pool and place it on the ground lower than the pool.

The water in the pond suddenly burst out from the lotus leaf stem.

Huo Geng was dumbfounded: "Well, what's going on?"

Su Miao smiled while wiping the water on her hands: "That's it, let it flow on its own, don't scoop it."

After finishing speaking, she took Huayue behind her and walked to the side room next to her.

Hua Yue glanced at her, then looked back at the adult with red cheeks, she couldn't help thinking that she would have a fiancée like Su Miao, and she also wanted to send all the people she favored. Scoop the fish pond.

This girl is so adorable.

"Little sister-in-law." Su Miao turned her head and asked her, "You talk about things later, can I just stroll around here?"

Hua Yue returned to her senses and wondered: "What are you shopping for? It's about the third son, and Miss Biao should listen to it together."

"I don't really want to see him." Su Miao said sullenly, "I was in a good mood before, and I was in a good mood with him. These few times, the old lady feels uncomfortable and doesn't want to get used to him."

Hua Yue laughed when she heard it: "Miss Biao will have a day when she doesn't like Lord Shen."

"It's not that I don't like it." Su Miao wrinkled the tip of her nose and said, "It's just annoying, it will be annoying for a few days."

"Today's things are a bit serious, I need Miss Biao to help, I'm afraid I will be wronged." Hua Yue shook her hand, "I will do it for Miss Biao when I return to the house. Have a snack."

With a slightly sullen face, Su Miao nodded reluctantly and entered the wing with her.

Shen Zhi closed the open window without a trace and turned to meet them both expressionlessly.

"What's the matter?"

Su Miao pointed behind her and stepped aside. Hua Yue stepped forward, bowed graciously, and said, "I want to ask Da Si Ming to help me file a complaint."

"What?" He wondered.

Hua Yue put a stack of things in his hand, raised her eyes and said, "Luo Zhong, the minister of households, accepting bribes."

The matter of taking bribes, most of the people in the court are affected, Shen Zhiluo is not interested, but since she said it, he still took a look at it.

As a result, I saw something that Donggong would be very interested in.

"Hide the accounts of the directorate." He pondered, "How did you get this thing?"

Hua Yue shrugged: "If someone exposes it, take the initiative to send it."

Who would expose something so deep? Shen Zhiluo frowned, but looking at the expression of the person in front of her, she obviously didn't plan to tell him.

Inexplicably feeling helpless, Shen Zhiluo said in a low voice, "Why did you come to me for help, even though you are so defensive about me?"

"Mutual benefit and mutual benefit." Hua Yue said honestly, "It will benefit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince if you ask the people from the East Palace to file a complaint."

At the same time, if Luo Zhong is convicted, then Long Rin is not innocent.

Looking at her steadily, Shen Zhiluo laughed.

Yin Huayue is really a rebellious temperament, she says she can't do it, she just wants to do it. I told her that messing with Li Jingyun would not end well, so she was still rushing to save people.

He may not agree to this matter, it has nothing to do with him anyway, but after thinking about it, Shen Zhiluo still nodded.

"Is there anything else?" Shen Zhiluo asked.

Hua Yue shook her head, glanced at the silent Biao Miss beside her, thought for a moment, and said, "I have come, can you let me see the old man in the altar? ?"

Shen Zhiluo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to say that the old palace man she knew was long gone, but when she met her eyes, she saw her frown.

Don't refute me - the eyes of this little ancestor said so.

I don't know why I swallowed the words, Shen Zhiluo nodded and said, "Yes."

So Huayue turned her head to Su Miao and said, "Miss Biao wait a minute, I'll be back when I go."

Su Miao nodded, sat in the chair yawning and watched her go out, then she and Shen Zhiluo were left in the room.

She could get up and go out and wait for Huayue, but she didn't move.

After a moment of silence, Su Miao said, "Why are you embarrassing Mr. Huo?"

Shen Zhiluo's face sank, turned his back to open the flower window, and looked coldly at the lotus leaf stem that was gushing water from its roots.

"It was the prince's order, I didn't embarrass him."

Su Miao nodded knowingly, and then said with a smile: "I thought you were eating again."

Shen Zhiluo pinched the window sill and said nothing.

Su Miao stretched her waist and stood up casually and said, "There is a happy event in the Lin family's house next month, so you sent me an invitation, do you want to follow along to see the excitement?"

The Lin family? Shen Zhiluo raised his eyelids: "Is that the young master of the Lin family that you said you wanted to consider last time?"

Su Miao paused, then smiled: "It's the one I said last time, but it's not the son, it's the Miss Lin family."

The person by the window turned around and looked over in confusion.

Licking her lips, Su Miao's eyes were filled with two points of success in teasing: "Miss Lin family is beautiful and virtuous, she is gentle, considerate and caring for me, and her small waist is thin and soft, It's very comfortable to hold. It would be great if she married me."

“…”

I have never seen such a daughter's home, it's okay to molest men, but also love to molest women. Shen Zhiluo turned his head in disgust, but his expression was two points of relief.

Su Miao hummed and took the tea to drink.

Shen Zhiluo investigated Luo Zhong for a few days, and handed over the things Huayue brought together with the evidence he had found to the prince.

It is related to the Directorate of Administration. As soon as Zhou Heshuo received the news, he was investigated. Within two days, it was found out that the eldest princess had paid a lot of money to bribe the Minister of the Household Department and tampered with the accounts. A large amount of unexplained spending is hidden behind the numerous civil construction projects, eroding the national treasury and enriching the private pockets.

Where did this large sum of money go, if you really want to find out, the eldest princess is naturally inseparable.

Zhou Heshuo wanted to ask the emperor to decide, but for some reason, the sage did not intend to investigate the eldest princess, but only convicted Long Rin of bribing important officials and embezzling the treasury silver tael, and sentenced to beheading.

Poor Long Rin, when he dies, he has to be a ghost again.

As soon as he was convicted, Li Jingyun's crime was lightened. Even if the people on the eldest princess' side tried their best to add more charges to him, Li Jingyun still got out of prison easily.

Hua Yue thought that he would be exiled or assigned to the border, but no, Li Jingyun was sent back to the General's Mansion by Xu Changyi and others in a large sedan chair, without any guilt.

"I knew the third master had an idea." Xu Changyi patted the armrest of the Grand Master's chair and smiled, "Then Miss Han is really trying to pinch your life, and she has come to show her prestige in front of the brothers, The little sister-in-law didn't see it, the third master was released from prison today, and Han Shuang was standing at the door with an ugly face."

"Isn't it true, she still wants to ask the eldest princess to call the shots. The eldest princess can't protect herself now, so how can she take care of her." Liu Chenghe also smiled.

Li Jingyun sat in the main seat, as if listening to them, but only stared at Huayue.

I haven't seen you for a long time, why does this person feel thinner, the light blue belt is about to go around the third circle, and now there is black blue again.

Without him guarding, she really won't get enough sleep.

He pursed his lips in displeasure.

"Hey, is there any tea?" Xu Changyi said dryly, holding the teacup and reaching out to the side.

Hua Yue came over with a smile and wanted to give him some tea.

Su Miao glanced above, grabbed the teapot, and threw it to Xu Changyi, pursed her mouth and said, "Do you have any discernment? It's been a long time since I'm a newlywed, and you dare to bother my sister-in-law?"

"Don't dare." Xu Changyi took the teapot and poured it himself, teasing as he fell, "If there is anything wrong with the third master, go to the inner room, we are not outsiders, and there is no sound. Just be inaudible."

Several shouted, winking at the person in the main seat. Li Jingyun snorted slightly, and then smiled.

Hua Yue also smiled, who is the third son? In the operation planning prison, in the decisive court, with so many people watching, what kind of love does he want?

As a result, her wrist tightened, and she was really dragged into the inner room.

As soon as the curtain at the partition fell, the sound of laughter was louder outside, Huayue stared at the person in front of her: "You..."

Li Jingyun pressed her against the partition, half-closed eyes full of smiles: "Master, I heard that you haven't been eating well and sleeping well lately?"

Hua Yue frowned, stalking her neck and looking away: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter."

"You went to ask for a peace talisman?"

"That's for Madam." Her ears turned red, and she heard the sound of clapping and applause outside the partition, and she was more annoyed, "Don't come so close."

Li Jingyun didn't listen, she lowered her head, and the tip of her nose lightly rubbed her side face: "Su Miao came to pick me up, you know that you miss me, you are a side room, how can you be so half-hearted? You don't want to spit out a good word?"

What kind of good things to say, this person knows that using her to go to Qifenglou to get something to sue Luo Zhong, she must have already decided to retreat, and she is the fool who is sincerely worried about him 's life.

Hua Yue was angry when she thought about it, he only told her to go to Qifeng Building to check the bill, but how could she find out that Long Rin's debt was wrong? Is he not afraid of something going wrong in the middle, or maybe she doesn't care about him that much and doesn't give things to Shen Zhiluo?

Opened his mouth to ask questions, but felt stupid, didn't he go around and say that he really cared about him as he thought.

Kayue closed her mouth and pursed the corners of her lips.

Outside Su Miao, they have already started talking about Han Shuang and Li Jingyun once saved her. Huayue heard the sentence "I have to save it" and was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to turn her head to listen carefully, her chin was pinched.

Li Jingyun's palm is wide and her fingers are long. She said she was pinching her chin, but it was actually a hand holding half of her face. He stubbornly turned her to face him, and said with a smile: "If you say something nice, I will spare you."

Hua Yue wrinkled the tip of her nose and asked in a muffled voice, "What if you don't say anything?"

The man in front of him suddenly straightened his face, raised his eyebrows, and complained with great dissatisfaction: "I just came back from a disaster, and there is no hot tea or hot rice, if you still say something nice. If you don’t want to say anything, then the master will—”

He raised his hand high, Huayue subconsciously shrank, and closed her eyes.

With a smile in his eyes, Li Jingyun dropped his hand, clasped the back of her head, pulled her into his arms, and pressed her ear sideways: "Then I'll tell you."

Hua Yue was shocked and wanted to look up at him, but her eyelids suddenly warmed.

Li Jingyun stretched out his hand to cover her, like when he was on Luohua Street, his palm was like fire. But the difference is that there is no blood or corpses at the moment, only the sound of his approaching Chi Chi.

"Master misses you very much." He also seemed embarrassed, rubbing his hands over her eyes unconsciously, but he still pressed her ear and continued, "In and out of prison, It doesn't make any difference, but with you outside the prison, it's better for you to come out."
