Chapter 66 Nightfall
A few pink hydrangeas were placed in front of the window of Li Xunchuan's bedroom. It was June, and the hydrangea cages bloomed and clustered together, carrying green leaves, hanging by the window like this, reflecting the antique round arch, Very nice.

Zhuo Ran fiddled with the petals of the hydrangea and arranged them. It was cool with the wind here.

Li Xunchuan approached Zhuo Ran from behind, stretched out his hand to grab Zhuo Ran's waist, wrapped her in his arms, and said, "What are you looking at?"

"I always feel a bit empty here." Zhuo Ran leaned forward a little, trying to separate Li Yanchuan, but was pushed closer, she sighed and said, "It's hot, I'm sweating."

Only then did Li Xunchuan let go of her and said, "Then let's plant a red plum in front of the window, and it will bloom in winter."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "At least it has to be planted in spring, otherwise you still want to steal a red plum and transplant it here?"

"It's not impossible." Li Xunchuan said.

Zhuo Ran was about to go out, so Li Yanchuan followed her into the yard. The weather was so stuffy that it was hot even without the sun, so it was better in the yard.Li Xunchuan followed her for two steps, and said, "The repair of Lianhua Lane will start today. As soon as Yongniang moves out, you can move back. It's just that it's too remote. Go back after school and ask Chang Yinyu to prepare the carriage."

Zhuo Ran sighed, and said, "Fortunately, as long as you stay close to Zuixueting, it's convenient for me to see Uncle Zhou."

"It's inconvenient to see me." Li Yuchuan said: "By the way, have you finished what Liu Yulin asked you to do? Don't be a while and someone will ask you to investigate."

Zhuo Ran couldn't hide her exhaustion. She nodded and said softly, "It's over. After the repairs are completed there, and then send supplies according to the records on the roster, I can have more leisure in these two days."

The two were silent for a moment, the heat continued, Zhuo Ran touched the sweat on her neck with her fingertips, her underwear was a little sweaty, Li Yanchuan's eyes followed Zhuo Ran's fingertips to the earlobe, his eyes were so bad up.Zhuo Ran didn't notice, but just looked up at him.

"Huh?" Zhuo Ran didn't understand Li Yanchuan's eyes, she raised the end of her eyes slightly, but saw that Li Yanchuan had already walked over.

Li Xunchuan raised his hand to push back the broken hair on her forehead, rubbing the sweat along her temples with his thumb, and said with his head down, "It's hot in summer, but you look too listless. Are you too tired from running around?"

Zhuo Ran said: "It's okay. I thought that there were enough things for the chief secretary, but I didn't expect that there were more things for the secretary. In addition to the Imperial College, I have to go to social parties from time to time."

"Hmph." Li Yanchuan held her cheeks, traced her entire facial features with his fingers, and said softly: "Yan Chengxuan has been secretly meeting with other officials recently, and most of them are related to the six major cities. He couldn't think of it with his brain. It was you who mentioned it." Awake?"

Zhuo Ran raised her hand to block his hand, and said, "It's not me. But he has Wen Rongxi by his side, and Wen Rongxi must know what he's going to do, so when he started, Wen Rongxi acquiesced."

"You're smart." Li Yanchuan said: "Yan Chengxuan is grabbing the six major cities step by step, trying to drive me out of Gaodu. If I miss a blow, I will naturally make up for it. Xiaqiu, how can you treat me with any sympathy?" Don't talk about it."

Zhuo Ran took a few steps forward and said, "What kind of affection do you want? Second Master doesn't even think about it. If the Yan family really pulls these people into their ranks, it will be beneficial to Second Master."

Li Xunchuan smiled, the summer days were long and the nights were short, and it was getting dark at this time, he couldn't see Zhuo Ran clearly, so he carried him on his shoulders and walked into the house.

Gu Zhao sighed. Seeing this place was completely giving up. Seeing is believing. He raised his hand to signal the attendants to retreat, and hid behind the corridor by grabbing Wu Song's collar.

Chang Yinyu wanted to come in with a stern look, pinched Wu Song's neck and threatened him before stepping in the door. He dragged Wu Song wherever he went, using it as a shield.Chang Yinyu leaned on the pillar naturally, and said leisurely: "Looking at you who have never seen the world, we should go to the roof, that will be exciting."

Gu Zhao stared at him and said, "It's all nonsense. Songzi, don't listen to him."

"Okay." Wu Song nodded obediently.

"You..." Zhuo Ran leaned on his shoulder, she sighed, and said, "Can I change my hug? It's very uncomfortable to bear it like this..."

Li Xunchuan kicked the door open and hooked his foot to close it again. The room was lit with lights, making it very bright.He went directly to the bathroom, put Zhuo Ran down, tested the water temperature, and said, "Look at you are sleepy, soak for a while and you'll feel better."

Zhuo Ran lay in the water, and Li Yanchuan sat beside her, holding her shoulders, the jade-like skin was pinched to the fingertips like jade, and the faint fragrance lingered in Li Yanchuan's heart, no matter what, it couldn't be dispelled.

Li Xunchuan pinched her shoulder until it turned red, and when he pinched it in, Zhuo Ran let out a muffled groan. He rubbed it lightly again, and said, "It will hurt if you stay at the desk for too long."

Zhuo Ran raised her hand to hold Li Yuchuan, and said, "Don't pinch anymore, Second Lord, I have something to ask you."

Li Xunchuan put his arms on the wall of the barrel and said softly, "What?"

"Although the Wuming Mountain is difficult to walk, you can definitely come if you spend time and energy. The ancient Qiang people occupied three states. Even if the troops were damaged at that time, it would take time to recover, but it has been four years, and they have not yet come. I feel that something is wrong." Zhuo Ran said: "Also, I vaguely feel that many recent things may..."

"Master!" Gu Zhao shouted outside.

Li Xunchuan frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Gu Zhao knew that interrupting at this time was courting death, but what could he say, who made the three of them play palms and backs and he lost one.He sighed and said, "Master, Xiyu is back."

Li Xunchuan didn't reply, Zhuo Ran stared at him, mouth-shaped, and said, "You go."

"Master?..." Seeing that there was no movement, Gu Zhao asked again.

Li Xunchuan slammed the back of the man's head and kissed without letting go, Zhuo Ran's eyes widened, he rolled over in the tub with difficulty, and pushed Li Xunchuan.

The sound of the water got a little louder, Gu Zhao frowned, clenched his hands, cursed secretly while staring at the three people watching the show behind him, and when he looked up again, he saw Li Xunchuan looking at him with a displeased face.

Xi Yu saluted from behind and said, "Master, I'm back."

Li Xunchuan closed the door tightly and said, "Come to my study."

"Yes." Xi Yu nodded and said.

Gu Zhao ran away as if he had won a gold medal for avoiding death.A few people were still drinking in the room and talking about what happened just now, when they saw Xiyu walk in slowly, suffocating the wine without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you? Did your master tell you to get out? Did he beat you?" Chang Yinyu said with a smile.

Xiyu thought about it helplessly——

As soon as he stepped into the study, he was kicked out by Li Xunchuan. Li Xunchuan sighed and said: "It's too late today, I just came back from the imperial prison, you should go and rest first, and I'll talk about something tomorrow."

"Ah?" Xiyu blinked and said, "But..."

"Okay, let's go down." Li Yanchuan hurried into the bedroom before he finished speaking.

Xi Yu let out a long sigh and had no choice but to walk back.

"Hahahahaha..." Gu Zhao and Chang Yinyu clinked glasses and laughed heartily. Wu Song still didn't understand what they were laughing at, but he also smiled.

Xi Yu looked out, and said, "Master is obsessed with beauty every day, sooner or later he will miss a big deal."

"What are you worrying about?" Gu Zhao relieved his anger. He was still depressed at first, but he found out that someone was more depressed than him. You too…"

"I can't smash you to death!" Xi Yu shook the wine bottle, and Wu Song hurriedly stopped him.Apart from Li Yanchuan, he couldn't blame anyone else for this matter.

"What did you want to say just now?" Li Yanchuan wrapped Zhuo Ran in his arms and hugged him on the couch, and said, "I was disturbed a lot, I forgot."

Zhuo Ran changed his clothes, his hair was wrung dry by Li Xunchuan, and scattered behind his head like splashed ink, a little laziness made Li Xunchuan shake his mind, he sighed slightly, and suppressed the anger in his heart forcibly.

Zhuo Ran didn't have any proof, and didn't want to say something he wasn't sure about, so he changed the subject and said, "I remember you thought about making a carrier container for kerosene before, but you never had a clue."

Li Xunchuan tried many times in secret, but all of them failed, but he ignored the matter because of the long delay. Moreover, he had agreed with He Xiyao to get the key to the armory, but he didn't get it, so he thought about taking it easy.

"But there is really no way." Li Yuchuan thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, I will find a way. Xiaqiu, you don't have to worry about my affairs. You are getting more and more tired every day, and I am very worried."

"You didn't have this expression when you kicked my wound before." Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "It's just that weak, it's normal."

"Kick your wound?" Li Yanchuan frowned and said, "Where do I have..."

Zhuo Ran lifted up his clothes, and the scar on his abdomen was exposed. He was stabbed several times by Liao Ze and kicked by Li Yanchuan that day and night, and the scar could not heal. It crawled on Zhuo Ran's abdomen, which was hideous .

Li Xunchuan was silent, it was the first time he saw it carefully, and he didn't notice it so many times before, Li Xunchuan blinked, remembering the blood stains on the cloak that day, he looked up at Zhuo Ran, and stretched out his hand to caress the cloak. Scar, did not speak for a long time.

Zhuo Ran smiled, took Li Yuchuan's hand, put down his clothes, and said softly, "What's the matter, I thought you'd seen me a long time ago."

"It hurts." Li Yanchuan lowered his eyes, he stretched out his arms to embrace Zhuo Ran, held her in his arms, and said, "Did Liao Ze move his hand?"

Zhuo Ran hummed softly, she didn't want to mention the past, so she turned away and said, "Second Master, did you talk about Yong, Xin and Tu three states when you entered the palace today?"

Li Xunchuan didn't let go, and said: "Well. The ancient Qiang people occupied the place, but they didn't do anything practical. Most of them were occupied by bandits and there was no fighting. Your Majesty wants to send people to investigate secretly."

"You want to go?" Zhuo Ran knocked his chin on his shoulder and said, "Really?"

Li Xunchuan didn't reply, but lightly patted Zhuo Ran's back, making her even more sleepy. Zhuo Ran hugged Li Xunchuan and said softly, "Huh?"

Li Yunchuan turned around and blew out the candle, and lay down holding Zhuo Ran.In the past, his hands would wrap around Zhuo Ran's waist, but today he dared not do anything.
