After Long Yin saw his mother off, he returned to the royal palace and continued his unfinished court affairs.
There were many important matters piled up in the court that had not been dealt with. He almost forgot to eat and sleep, and was so immersed in the court affairs that he didn't even notice that Lu Xue came in.
Until a cup of warm tea was placed in his hand.
He frowned, and just as he was about to speak, a soft voice rang from beside him, "Cousin, you've been tired for a day. Drink some water and take a rest."
Long Yin was startled and looked sideways. When he saw that the person coming was Lu Xue, he was a little surprised, but there was a little smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "When did you enter the palace?" His tone had softened.
Lu Xue put her hand to her lips, turned her head and coughed lightly before replying: "I entered the palace in the morning. I heard from my aunt that you have been busy in the study, so you didn't dare to come and disturb me. It's getting dark now, I have to After leaving the palace, I stopped by to say goodbye to you."
Seeing that she didn't look very good, Long Yin stood up and held her arm, "Let's sit down for a while."
Lu Xue wanted to say no, but he had already helped her and let her sit in his seat.
This is the throne, where the emperor's uncle usually sits when handling memorials. Just now her cousin also sat on it. Sitting here, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"No need. It's getting dark. I have to go back home. My great-grandmother is home alone." She struggled to stand up.
Seeing her persistence, Long Yin didn't force her.
"Then I'll see you off." Long Yin said, holding her hand naturally and leading her out.
Lu Xue felt a little awkward.
When she was a child, her cousin would hold her and even hold her, but in the past two years, this phenomenon has become less common.
She also knew that it was because she had grown up and her cousin wanted to avoid suspicion, but why didn't he avoid suspicion now
Moreover, she is not feeling unwell now and can walk on her own.
After thinking about it, she struggled slightly, and when he looked over, she said cleverly: "Cousin, I can walk by myself."
Long Yin paused slightly and glanced at her. Seeing the persistence on her face, he had no choice but to let go, "Yeah."
After leaving the imperial study, Lu Xue said again: "Cousin, please stop. I can just leave the palace by myself. You have been tired for a long day, so you should rest early."
This time, Long Yin did not obey her and personally sent her back to Zhenguo Duke's Mansion before returning.
When we returned to the palace, the night had darkened.
He went directly to Fengyi Palace and wanted to have dinner with Lu Liangwei.
Unexpectedly, when he walked to Fengyi Palace, he bumped into He Xin.
"Brother Longyin." He Xin greeted him.
Long Yin nodded and asked: "Where's Yaoyao, why didn't she come with you?"
"Yao Yao has something to do. She will be here soon." He Xin replied. In fact, Yaoyao received Bei Tang You's Fei Ge letter and specifically put her away to read the letter alone.
After a pause, "By the way, Sister Lu Xue just came to see you. Have you seen her?"
After asking this question, she secretly felt that she was a little troubled.
Because she had already seen that brother Long Yin was in a good mood, probably because of meeting Lu Xue.
She thought silently and then heard Long Yin say: "Well, I just sent her back home."
"Oh." He Xin glanced at him, then closed his mouth and stopped talking.
"Let's go." Long Yin said. Just as he was about to enter Fengyi Palace, his eyes suddenly focused on the corner of her skirt and he frowned, "Are you injured?"
He Xin looked at him blankly, "No."
Long Yin pointed to the corner of her skirt, "There is blood there."
