He held the bouquet, looked at Denton and said, "Sir, it's the businessman from before. He said that someone outside the city brought honeysuckle that is only available in Dingyuan, and specially gave it to Miss Qing'er!"
The strong fragrance of honeysuckle filled the whole room.
Denton stood up and asked the guard: "Is this honeysuckle found in the entire Aquila City?"
"He didn't say anything, but we found him driving a carriage around before." The guard thought about it and replied quickly.
Denton's doubts were basically gone. If the merchant had been here with the flowers from the beginning, it would be normal for the yard to smell like this.
Leaving the honeysuckle behind, the guards retreated.
Wen Qingzhu quickly stepped back. Denton didn't like the strong smell, so he let Wen Qingzhu take it.
She turned back to the kitchen, thought for a moment, and soaked honeysuckle in water.
At the same time, I prepared some snacks. When I went back with the tea, I heard Balu and Denton arguing before they reached the door.
The focus is still on her.
"Denton, give me that slave girl, and I promise to listen to you in the future."
"No! For someone like you to be able to say such affirmative words, it means that that woman is becoming more and more irresistible!"
"Do you just like to fight against me?"
"It's not that I like to fight against you, but that you act impulsively. You don't know how complicated the situation in Skyhawk City is now. Do you think you can keep her?"
Balu didn't speak for a long time, and finally said uncertainly: "I, it would be better if I hid her."
Denton said to him word for word: "This is Eagle City, not Korza."
After hearing this, Wen Qingzhu understood in his heart.
No matter how reluctant Balu is, with Denton here, he can't make any trouble.
Wen Qingzhu walked in and served them refreshments.
Denton's mouth went dry as he talked, so he picked up the tea bowl and drank.
The entrance is slightly cool, with a familiar aroma.
He immediately raised his head, looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Is there honeysuckle in here?"
Wen Qingzhu smiled and nodded: "Well, although you don't like the taste of honeysuckle, soaking it in water can clear away heat and detoxify, and the fragrance is not strong. I think you will definitely like it, so I will make my own decision..."
"It won't be necessary in the future." Denton put down the tea bowl with a calm expression.
Wen Qingzhu's eyes were a little disappointed and he lowered his eyebrows.
At this moment, Balu couldn't help but said: "Denton! Even if you can't forget that-"
He paused, thought of Denton's warning, and immediately changed his words: "That woman, you have to accept other women. Don't you imagine for yourself that your father and mother are in heaven, watching you... There are no children, how can they rest in peace!"
In the past, Denton was the one reprimanding Balu, but now, uncharacteristically, Balu was actually admonishing Denton.
From what Balu said, it seemed that Denton was not interested in women and seemed to have some hidden agenda.
Denton's eyes became more and more indifferent: "I know my affairs, but Qing'er is prepared for Miss Lei, I can't point fingers."
"Then I'll pick two beautiful women for you tonight!" Balu suddenly stood up excitedly.
Denton's breath stopped and he stood up: "Stop!"
Balu, who had just turned around, then turned around and said with an expression of hatred: "You really can't forget her!"
Denton quickly mentioned another thing: "King Zuoxian wants Baha Aisha to marry me."
"What does Aisha have to do with other women?" Balu looked at him more and more strangely.
Denton replied: "In Qi State, according to the legislation, if there is no status between men and women, they cannot have physical intimacy at will."
"Really?" Balu was very confused, always feeling that Denton was lying to him.
However, he was not interested in the affairs of Qi State, nor did he understand that Aisha was the niece of King Zuoxian, so she might also be affected.
Wen Qingzhu listened to their conversation and was very sure that Denton even made an excuse.
After resting for a while, someone came in from outside and announced that the fourth prince had summoned him.
Denton immediately said to Wen Qingzhu: "Get ready, we will take you to see Miss Lei. She is also from the Central Plains, so you can be a match for her."
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu turned around and went in.
After walking a few steps, I heard Balu speak again: "Isn't it appropriate to leave the slave girl here alone? How about I stay here?"
Denton gave him a cold look, and the matter stopped.
Wen Qingzhu quickly tidied up, checking various poisons, antidotes, and poisons, as well as various emergency tools.
When she turned around and came out, Denton and Baloo were already at the door.
Seeing her come out, they both turned around and went out at the same time.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't ride a horse, so Denton specially prepared a carriage for her.
Balu watched from the side and couldn't help but said: "Do you like her?"
Denton glanced at him, his eyes filled with contempt.
"No, no!" Balu quickly walked around to him and kept saying, "You have never taken such caring care of a woman before! You must like her! In that case, you might as well keep her!"
Denton lowered the curtain and turned to ride his horse.
Balu was still standing in front of the carriage, looking inside the carriage, and finally he could only follow and ride.
As he walked, he asked: "I wouldn't have advised you before, but now I admit that you are better than me, and we are both working under the fourth prince, so I advised you -"
"Why do you talk so much all of a sudden? I remember you were not like this before." Denton looked at him very disappointed, and then quickly rode towards the palace.
Balu was so angry that he threw the reins and cursed to himself: "You don't know the heart of a good person!"
When they arrived at the palace, Qiu Lin was already waiting for them.
"Master Denton, Master Balu, the fourth prince has temporarily gone to the second prince's place. Miss Lei is a little frightened. I came here specially to take you to Miss Lei's place."
Denton's eyes narrowed, and he quickly raised his hand: "I'm sorry, Lord Qiulin!"
He was about to leave when he saw Qiu Lin standing still, his eyes falling on Wen Qingzhu who was lowering his head behind him.
"she is?"
For some reason, Qiu Lin felt that this woman felt inexplicably familiar.
Before Denton could say anything, Balu raised his eyebrows with a fierce look on his face: "What? The maid we prepare for Miss Lei must also obtain your consent!"
Qiu Lin quickly apologized: "Of course not, it's just that Qi slaves are rare recently, so I was a little surprised when I first saw him. But after all, His Highness the Fourth Prince is extraordinary."
After complimenting the fourth prince, Balu looked better.
Wen Qingzhu was a little worried, moved behind Denton, and followed him closely.
They walked all the way to the fourth prince's palace.
During this period, Qiu Lin was at the other side, but his eyes still fell on Wen Qingzhu from time to time.
He still felt that this woman had a strong sense of déjà vu, and it also made him a little scared.
Who is it
"We're here!" Denton stopped suddenly and turned to one side, blocking Qiu Lin's sight.
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Qiu Lin quickly straightened his expression and said, "I'm really sorry, I just think the girl behind Mr. Denton looks familiar."
"Oh? But didn't I hear that slave matters are under the jurisdiction of Master Zuolan and Master Gaolan? Now Master Qiulin wants to dispatch them?"
Denton knew that Gao Lan was dead and Zuo Lan was now having problems, so he specifically mentioned it.
Qiu Lin's face looked a little ugly. Although he was only in charge of the palace's internal affairs, he was still from a large tribe.
Denton is indeed powerful, but his background is mediocre.
What's more, others didn't know about that incident back then, but he knew it.
"Lord Denton doesn't need to worry about this matter. Although Miss Lei is from Qi, ordinary Huns women still take care of her. If you go to such trouble, is it possible that the fourth prince really wants to marry this Qi woman?"
Faced with Qiulin's provocation, Denton suddenly darkened his face.
Baluch didn't have Denton's endurance, so he directly waved his fist to hit him.
Qiulin quickly dodged, but Balu missed it.
Under normal circumstances, Denton would have stopped it.
But just now Qiu Lin said that the fourth prince wanted to marry a girl from Qi State, which was so slanderous!
Although the fourth prince did treat Lei Shuo differently, it was one thing for them to know internally, and it was another thing for outsiders to make irresponsible remarks!
Especially in this Aquila City, it is simply a discredit to the Fourth Prince!
Baloo was angry that he missed and started to get serious.
Although Qiulin usually didn't use much force, he was also a warrior. He couldn't defeat Balu, but he could still avoid it.
Wen Qingzhu stood behind Denton and quickly understood the situation in front of him.
The main entrance of the fourth prince's hall here is not far from the second prince's hall.
Obviously, the people from Juqu are also here.
But no one came out to break up the fight, which meant they were left alone.
Wen Qingzhu immediately raised her eyes, seemingly directed at Denton, but her gaze was vaguely directed at Qiu Lin.
"Sir, won't you advise them?"
etc! Qiu Lin looked at those eyes, how did he look—
Without warning, Balu came back with a fist and hit Qiulin in the face.
The whole person was knocked to the ground so unexpectedly.
Balu stopped slowly and looked at his fist in confusion: "When did I become so strong?"
The corner of Wen Qingzhu's mouth twitched, and he vomited in his heart: It's not that you are strong, it's just that Qiu Lin didn't pay attention.
Seeing this, Denton quickly walked up and scolded Balu with a straight face: "What did the fourth prince tell you! How could you do it! You haven't apologized yet!"
Balu snorted coldly: "He is not as good as others, so he deserves to be beaten!"
Denton glared at him displeasedly, but agreed with what he said.
Then he turned to look at Qiu Lin and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry. Balu is impulsive. Just now I saw you guys moving your hands over a disagreement. I was also stunned. He stretched out his hand and asked for it. Pull Qiulin up."
Originally, Qiu Lin was careless, but now all the good things were said by the Fourth Prince's people. He simply slapped Denton's hand away!
What Balu is impulsive, what is suddenly stunned, what is apologetic!
His uncle's!
Qiu Lin was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he didn't want Juqu to come out at this time.
"Lord Qiulin, what are you doing?"
From just now, Qiu Lin knew that Juqu was always there.
I came out now because I didn't want the situation to get worse, just to give him a reminder when he was angry.
Now the second prince still needs to form an alliance with the fourth prince and the sixth prince.
In desperation, Qiulin had no choice but to stretch out his hand, and Denton pulled Qiulin up with a strong pull.
Denton guessed that the original businessman came for Qiulin.
So Qiu Lin probably knew Qing'er, so he quickly said goodbye and took Wen Qingzhu and Balu into the fourth prince's hall.
Looking at their hurried away figures, Ju Qu said meaningfully: "Although you have been in charge of affairs in the palace, your ability is also valued by the second prince. It's okay if you can't defeat Denton. Why can't you defeat Balu? ?”
Qiu Lin looked at Wen Qingzhu's back and said solemnly: "There is something wrong with that woman, I feel..."
"What do you feel?" Juqu also became curious. He knew that Qiu Lin was not a person who often lost his temper.
Qiu Lin originally wanted to say that he was very similar to Lord Xiaoshui, but Lord Xiaoshui had just visited the palace not long ago.
