The winter night was extremely cold.
The streets were already empty, with only a few dim lights in front of the shops still swaying gently in the biting cold wind, as if greeting someone.
In the dark alley, there is occasionally a lonely figure sitting there, eating cold leftovers with a blank look on his face.
There are spirits patrolling in the air.
From time to time, a group of armored patrols would pass by coldly on the streets.
Luo Qingzhou sat in the carriage and thought for a while before replying to Xiaoyue: OK, I'm going to Yunwu River outside the city tonight. If you can come out, come find me there.
Judging from the situation in the palace tonight, he must find a way out for the people in the Qin Mansion as soon as possible.
So he decided to go to the riverside tonight. Not only did he have to choose a place to live, but he also needed to find out everything about the surrounding environment so that if an emergency occurred in the future, he would not be too hasty.
Xiaoyue’s message was quickly replied: Brother, why do you want to go so far away
Luo Qingzhou: I have something to do. By the way, there are spirits patrolling the outer and inner cities tonight. If you really want to go out, you must be careful. But I advise you to stay at home for the time being.
Xiaoyue: Brother, my sister has been wronged at home and doesn’t want to stay at home anymore. Can you take her in
Luo Qingzhou: Sorry, I can't protect myself. Xiaoyue, it doesn't matter if you suffer a little injustice. The most important thing is to save your life.
Xiaoyue: Brother, is someone trying to kill you? Tell me who it is. I will kill his whole family right away!
Luo Qingzhou: Take care of yourself
Xiaoyue: Brother, can you tell me what the matter is? My sister's identity is not simple, maybe I can help my brother solve it directly.
Luo Qingzhou: No, I can handle my own affairs.
Xiaoyue: Does my brother still treat his sister as an outsider? My brother has always only trusted his senior sister, but not his sister, right
Luo Qingzhou: I won’t say any more. I’m going home.
Xiaoyue: Oh
Luo Qingzhou did not reply.
The carriage quickly turned the street and stopped at the entrance of Maple Leaf Alley.
Li Gui's sharp voice rang out from outside: "Mr. Luo, we're here."
Luo Qingzhou lifted the car curtain and walked out.
Li Gui stood below, bowed his head, with a respectful expression on his face, and did not dare to say another word.
Luo Qingzhou had to put his hand down again, got off the carriage, and said, "Eunuch Li, I have to listen to the Queen Mother and the Emperor recently, study hard at home, and don't bother me anymore, understand?"
Li Gui immediately bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."
Luo Qingzhou stretched out his hand, which frightened him, but he just patted his shoulder and said, "Eunuch Li, serve the emperor well, and we will be colleagues from now on."
Li Gui's eyes flashed with hatred, and he secretly said in his heart: "Little bastard, one day, my family will kill you!"
He quickly said respectfully, "How can I be so worthy as to compare myself with Master Luo?"
“Bang!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Qingzhou raised his palm and suddenly slapped him, shouting coldly: "Eunuch Li, you are the emperor's personal eunuch, how can you belittle yourself and say that you dare not compare with me? You have to look at the master when beating a dog. You are the emperor's most personal servant, carrying the emperor's almighty glory. Who can compare with you? Are you looking down on the emperor's almighty glory? You are a traitor!"
Li Gui's cheeks were burning, and he froze in place: "..."
The guards behind seemed to have gotten used to it and just stood there, not moving.
"Humph, if you continue to speak without restraint and disrespect His Majesty, I will report to the Queen Mother in the palace and you will be punished!"
After Luo Qingzhou finished speaking, he strode away.
Only when his back disappeared did Li Guifang raise his head with red eyes.
He gritted his teeth and seemed to want to curse a few words, but he was afraid that the other party was still hiding in the dark alley waiting to beat him, so he turned around and left in frustration.
"Just you wait, little bastard!"
After they had walked a long distance away, he cursed through gritted teeth.
Luo Qingzhou returned to the mansion.
The Qin family was waiting anxiously in the hall, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him return safely.
Luo Qingzhou briefly explained the process and went back with Miss Qin Er.
After returning to Meixiang Garden, he told Miss Qin Er everything that had happened in the palace.
Miss Qin frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and said: "Brother Qingzhou, the princess should know your difficulties. However, since the princess can pass a note, why doesn't she express her thoughts? At least it can put your mind at ease."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, and said: "Maybe she is still conflicted."
Miss Qin nodded slightly: "That should be the case. I can only find another opportunity to have a good chat with the princess."
Luo Qingzhou sighed and said, "There probably won't be any chance before the New Year. I definitely can't meet her for the time being. I guess I can only have a chance when the Taikang Feast comes."
Miss Qin Er said softly: "Brother Qingzhou, have you thought of a way to go out and practice?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Princess Meijiao said she should be able to come tomorrow, and then I can leave. I will be back in ten days at the latest."
Miss Qin Er asked, "Do you want to take Xia Chan with you?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "No, I'm going there to practice, not to fight."
After a pause, he suddenly realized, "Second Miss, are you afraid that I'll have affairs with other men outside, so you want Chanchan to come and see me?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "No, does Wei Mo look like a petty person?"
Luo Qingzhou hugged her, leaned against her head and said: "Wei Mo, let me tell you something. I promised the princess that after I come back, I will go with her..."
"Um."
Before he could finish, Miss Qin Er responded, "It's her duty. Sister Meijiao has done so much for us. If it weren't for her, our people in the Qin Mansion would have been captured by the Jinyiwei long ago. She also contributed a lot to your revenge. Brother Qingzhou should be responsible for her. However, it's hard to explain to the prince and the princess. If they knew, I'm afraid..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "The princess said that she would keep it a secret from them. The princess also said that she wanted to secretly be my lover and not let anyone else know. She also wanted to secretly get pregnant with a baby for me and then give the baby to you and Chanchan to raise..."
Miss Qin sighed softly and said, "Sister Meijiao is a member of the royal family, so she really can't be a concubine. Brother Qingzhou, actually Weimo..."
Luo Qingzhou kissed her little mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You can't be my concubine. I will never allow it."
Miss Qin was about to speak but stopped. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Brother Qingzhou, Sister Meijiao is so kind, you must treat her well, don't let her down, don't hurt her, okay?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Yes, I will."
Miss Qin raised her pretty face, looked at him tenderly and said, "Brother Qingzhou, when will we... make love?"
Luo Qingzhou let her go, turned around and said to the outside: "Qiu'er, Xiaodie, boil some water, my son-in-law wants to take a bath."
The person outside answered and went to the kitchen.
Luo Qingzhou walked to the couch and sat down, picked up a book from the side, and said, "I'll read for a while."
Miss Qin pouted her lips slightly, walked over, and lay in his arms, saying faintly: "Brother Qingzhou, you already promised Sister Meijiao, and she was obviously here first."
Luo Qingzhou put down the book in his hand, hugged her delicate and soft body and sat her on his lap, stroked her beautiful and tender face and said: "Wei Mo, wait a little longer. As long as you recover, I will love you every day, okay?"
Miss Qin Er leaned against his chest and sighed, "I don't know when."
Luo Qingzhou stroked her smooth hair and said softly, "Don't worry, I am confident that I can completely cure your illness. When the time comes, you will beg for mercy."
Miss Qin hugged his neck, raised her little face and said, "Brother Qingzhou loves to brag. Did Qiu'er beg for mercy?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Xiaodie and Chanchan both begged for mercy."
Miss Qin Er said, "I'm asking about Qiu'er."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Wei Mo, let me ask you something, what do you think of Bai Ling?"
Second Miss Qin snorted and said, "Brother Qingzhou is trying to change the subject again. Bailing is great, pretty, cute, lively, and smart. Lingchan Moon Palace has become more lively with her."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Do you think she has practiced?"
Miss Qin was slightly startled when she heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, she shook her head and said, "Probably not. So many things happened in Mocheng, but I never saw her do anything. Brother Qingzhou, why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's okay, just asking casually."
Miss Qin Er said softly, "After you take a bath, remember to go see your sister. She hasn't been feeling well these past two days, so go and talk to her more."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Are you going?"
Miss Qin Er said: "It's windy outside, Wei Mo won't go out."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her suspiciously, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Wei Mo, you always let me go to Lingchan Moon Palace alone to see the young lady and accompany her. What do you want to do?"
Miss Qin Er said, "I just felt that my sister was too lonely and had no one to talk to. It just so happened that Brother Qingzhou could tell stories and talk, so I asked Brother Qingzhou to go. If there were other people in our Qin Mansion who could talk like Brother Qingzhou, Wei Mo would naturally not bother Brother Qingzhou."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Is this really the only reason?"
Miss Qin Er said: "Yes, what does Brother Qingzhou think? Does Brother Qingzhou think that Weimo wants Brother Qingzhou and Sister to reconcile?"
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else.
The two sat for a while, and when the hot water was ready, Qiu'er and Xiaodie brought in the bathtub and filled it with hot water.
Luo Qingzhou first put the medicine in, then took off all his clothes and got into the bathtub.
After the potion was absorbed, Miss Qin came behind him and personally helped him scrub his body.
The two started talking about the store again.
The store's business was good, but it wasn't expanding and it didn't take many orders.
After taking a shower.
Luo Qingzhou went out and went to Lingchan Moon Palace to pay his respects to the eldest lady.
When I arrived at the door, the clear singing of a lark came from the yard again. It was "Spring River Moon Night".
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but think again of that night in the back garden, when Miss Qin's tone suddenly became gentle: "Wait until I'm familiar with it, I'll play it for you, okay?"
However, after the eldest lady finished speaking, she seemed to have forgotten this sentence.
Luo Qingzhou thought for a while, and when the singing in the courtyard ended, he went forward and knocked on the door, saying, "Bai Ling."
Bai Ling immediately asked in the courtyard: "Sir, who are you looking for?"
Luo Qingzhou said, "I am here to pay my respects to the eldest lady on the orders of the second lady."
Bai Ling said: "The young lady has gone to bed, please come back tomorrow night."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Then open the door, I want to talk to you."
Bai Ling said from inside the door: "No, you want to show off to me, but I'm not that stupid."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else and just turned and left.
At this time, Bai Ling's voice came from the yard again: "Unless the son-in-law takes out the rabbit for others to play with."
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and left quickly.
"Squeak..."
The gate suddenly opened.
Bai Ling poked her head out: "Uncle, Tutu...Uncle!"
She immediately ran out of the door, looked at the figure that had already walked away, and said anxiously: "Uncle! Uncle!"
Luo Qingzhou's back quickly disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
Bai Ling stood there in a daze for a long while before she pouted and said, "Stinky son-in-law, bad son-in-law, I've been waiting for so long, uh..."
Luo Qingzhou returned to the Exiled Immortal Residence.
He practiced internal skills for a while, and when he saw that the time was almost right, he took out the communication token and sent a message to Sister Yue: Sister Yue, I am going out of the city tonight, and Xiaoyue may have to go too. Are you going
After a while, the message came back: No.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said: Sister Yue, are you making the elixir
The other party did not reply.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while, and Xiaoyue suddenly sent a message: Brother, have you left the city? Sister is ready to leave
Luo Qingzhou immediately replied: Be careful, there are spirits patrolling the outer and inner cities.
Xiaoyue: Don't worry, brother. My sister is very capable.
Luo Qingzhou was about to put away the message when Xiao Meijiao also sent a message: Daddy promised me, I will go there with Aunt Mu and Aunt Jiu tomorrow morning, Brother Feiyang, can you leave later? Poor Xiao Meijiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really want to see you
Luo Qingzhou replied: I will leave before dawn. There will be many vendors entering and leaving the city at that time, so I won’t attract attention.
Xiao Meijiao: Oh, okay, then you should come back early, don’t mess around outside, and don’t get dirty by other women, okay
Luo Qingzhou: OK
Xiao Meijiao: Love you
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and replied: I love you too, good night
Xiao Meijiao: Well, good night.
Luo Qingzhou put away the message and suddenly saw a figure standing silently outside the window.
He immediately went over, opened the window, and said, "Chanchan, are you here to protect your uncle?"
Xia Chan stood in the corridor holding a sword, turned away, and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou rushed out, picked her up, and returned to the room. He closed the window, put her on the couch, and covered her with a quilt. He said softly, "Sit here. It will be warmer."
Seeing that he really wanted to practice, Xia Chan said obediently, "Oh."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and kissed her little mouth, bit her lips lightly, and said, "I will reward you after I have practiced well."
Xia Chan pouted her lips slightly.
Luo Qingzhou did not delay any further and returned to the bed. Immediately his soul left his body and flew out of the roof.
Floating on the roof, he couldn't help but look towards the Lingchan Moon Palace not far away.
The yard was shrouded in mist and was silent.
At this time, the message moved again.
Xiaoyue sent a message: Brother, my sister is out of town, but it seems that she has been discovered. Come and help my sister fight the bad guys. The bad guys seem to want to steal my sister's socks.
