Chapter 83 The Moon
Li Xunchuan stood up, stared at Zhuo Ran without saying a word, watched the person take a few steps back, raised an eyebrow, and said, "What's wrong? Don't you believe me?"

"No." Zhuo Ran became even more dizzy from the hot water, she simply leaned against the wall of the pool, with her back to Li Xunchuan, she sighed softly, this unconscious voice was heard by Li Xunchuan, more like a kind of other meanings.

Li Xunchuan took off his outer shirt, leaving only an obscene garment. He stepped into the water, grabbed Zhuo Ran's arm, gently rubbed Zhuo Ran's temple, and said, "Yan Chengxuan hasn't looked for you this month. Trouble?"

Zhuo Ran couldn't shake her head, so she could only groan softly and said, "I know what he said to Jijiu. Although he didn't realize it, he probably just thought I was blaming him for killing Sheng An, so he was more peaceful."

"He really knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." Li Yuchuan said: "Did you find anything at the banquet today?"

Zhuo Ran and Chang Yinyu talked about Wen Rongxi and Wu Xiuting just now, and she knew that Li Yuchuan must have found out, so she said, "Wu Xiuting is a man, it's not easy for someone to follow him."

Li Xunchuan said: "It seems that some people are still suspicious of the past. It's already autumn, and Peng Ge should send a message, but there is still no news from His Majesty."

Zhuo Ran was relieved by his rubbing, raised his hand and pulled Li Yanchuan's hand down to cover his shoulder, Li Yanchuan smiled knowingly, gently pinched her shoulder, and continued: "Although I often enter the palace, I can't find out The news is really worrying."

"If there is no news, it means that either General Peng is secretly investigating, and he dare not act rashly because he is afraid that there will be a secret operation in the process, or he has really encountered a hard problem." Zhuo Ran changed a comfortable position and lay in Li Yuchuan's arms, saying: "Luo We don’t know much about the bandits in the city, so it’s not our turn to worry about it for the time being.”

Li Xunchuan rubbed the place where her shoulder blades were pinched red, raised her eyebrows and said, "Not necessarily, if Gaodu is at ease, maybe His Majesty will ask me to help General Peng."

"...Huh?" Zhuo Ran turned to look at him. Li Yanchuan's words were meant as a joke, but seeing Zhuo Ran's panicked face, he hurriedly rubbed Zhuo Ran's cheek and said, "What are you doing? I was joking."

Zhuo Ran shook her head slightly, and said, "No, I was just wondering if the organization you mentioned has something to do with the bandits in Los Angeles?"

Li Xunchuan let go of his hand in a little disappointment, he leaned back, distanced himself from Zhuo Ran, and said, "No."

Indeed not.Luocheng bandits are far away from Gaodu, even though they are a huge group, they dare not extend their hands into the imperial city, after all they don't know what it means to make close friends from a distance.What Zhuo Ran said was a bit of guesswork, and Li Yuchuan knew that she would not be able to speak clearly after drinking, so he had to let this topic go.

Zhuo Ran closed his eyes, as he was about to sink into the water, Li Yuchuan hurriedly pulled him into his arms, rubbed and kneaded the smooth skin, he was really angry today.

"Don't pinch..." Zhuo Ran moved her waist, she wanted to get out of Li Yanchuan's arms, but was hugged even tighter.

Someone knocked on the door of the bathroom, but Li Yunchuan didn't make a sound, looked down at Zhuo Ran, and said softly, "Someone is here, let's say something."

Zhuo Ran narrowed her eyes, looked at Li Yuchuan and shook her head.It took more than half an hour for the maid to knock on the door to call her, but when she heard no movement inside, she thought that Zhuo Ran had fallen asleep, and she would catch a cold if she fell asleep in the bathroom, so she opened the door and came in.

Li Xunchuan licked the corners of his lips, but Zhuo Ran suddenly opened his eyes, pressed Li Xunchuan into the water, raised his hand, and the gauze curtain fell down, just covering Zhuo Ran's side.

Seeing Zhuo Ran's shadow, the maid bowed and said, "Lord Si Ye, the time has come."

Zhuo Ran raised her hand to push aside the curtain, her long hair was scattered in the water like ink, and it faintly covered the water. The maid took a sneak peek at Zhuo Ran and quickly lowered her head. It even showed a touch of crimson, which was extremely beautiful.

"Nothing to do today, you all go back." Zhuo Ran let go of the gauze curtain and retracted into the water again. She lifted the water surface and said, "By the way, lock Chang Yinyu's room door. open the door."

The maid raised her lips and smiled, then stepped back.

The moment the door closed, Li Yuchuan jumped out of the water.He raised his hand to wipe the water off his face, and said, "Master Si Ye is not pretending to be drunk, this acting skill is not bad..."

He was directly stunned under the water, and he didn't dare to make a sound or move. Zhuo Ran endured whatever he did. The bathroom was relatively bright, and he could see clearly underwater. Even if he kept his breath, Zhuo Ran The splash of water in the movement also choked him to the point of going crazy.

Zhuo Ran rubbed the back of her neck and said, "Go back, Governor General, I've made people back down, and I won't stop you."

After speaking, she turned around and tore off the clothes on the hanger. She wrapped herself up, stepped out of the bath, and said softly, "Happy birthday, Governor."

Li Xunchuan smiled when he heard the words, he also stepped out, lowered his head to wring the water from his clothes, and said, "Why are you so cruel, my clothes are still wet."

Zhuo Ran turned to face him, she stretched out her hand to curl Li Yanchuan's wet hair around her fingertips, tiptoed to find his cheek and kissed him, and said, "When will the second master play the piano for me alone?"

"It depends on when you dance for me alone?" Li Xunchuan moved his face closer, he smiled lightly, and said, "Xiaqiu..."

He picked up Zhuo Ran, wrapped himself in his clothes, and walked out quickly.The bathroom was very close to Zhuo Ran's room. Li Yunchuan took a big step and arrived at the room in a few steps. Zhuo Ran put his arms around his neck. When he saw that the light was on in the room, he stopped talking.

The wind at night is not cold, but it is still a little cool on the wet clothes.Zhuo Ran hugged Li Yanchuan tightly, pulled off his wet clothes in the wet and sticky kiss, Zhuo Ran's head was hanging on the side of the couch, Li Yanchuan could only chase her down if he wanted to kiss her, he took Zhuo Ran's The long hair brushed aside, resting on her head and biting the tip of her tongue.

In this way, Zhuo Ran could only raise his neck, exposing all his fragility to Li Yanchuan, but Li Yanchuan just covered all Zhuo Ran's weakness with lingering kisses, putting on a thick layer of armor.

Zhuo Ran was tired, Li Yuchuan took him to the pillow, lifted the quilt again, covered the two of them tightly inside, and lowered his head to kiss Zhuo Ran's forehead.

He bit the collarbone and did not let go, Zhuo Ran stretched out her arm and was caught by Li Yanchuan, she turned her head to look at the candle, Li Yanchuan stretched out her hand, the palm wind extinguished the candle, and got under the quilt again.

The dark night is coming, the moonlight secretly closes the window to let them sleep peacefully, Li Xunchuan holds his own moon in his arms, so that it will always be bright, he sleeps and wakes up and sleeps, and tosses Zhuo Ran Keeping her from being comfortable is like an ambition.

"What's the use of saying happy birthday just now?" Li Yuchuan used all his strength. He suppressed Zhuo Ran and whispered in her ear, "...I wanted you to eat more delicious food, but in the end not only I lost you, and I also lost this table of good food..."

Zhuo Ran didn't want to talk, she just wanted to sleep, but Li Yuchuan didn't want it, anyway, he wasn't afraid if he did too much of this kind of thing, as long as he was happy enough, he hugged Zhuo Ran silently.

***
After sleeping quite sleeplessly, Zhuo Ran's drowsiness was gone, Li Xunchuan wiped the sweat on her neck, and said softly, "Why did you ask someone to lock the door of Chang Yinyu's room?"

"He has blocked you so many times, he must be punished, otherwise how could the second master let him go?" Zhuo Ran was weak and exhausted, she turned over, and was tightly wrapped in Li Yuchuan's arms, leaning against her With the tight muscles in his chest, Zhuo Ran looked up at him and said, "You've been looking into those things, don't be too tired. Although I can't help you, it's okay to collect some information."

Li Xunchuan's ring was warmed up, he gently rubbed Zhuo Ran's wet temples, and said, "You too, finally found peace, I think I can see you all the time."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "Farewell, I'm not afraid of others' jokes if I spread it over the wall all day long. Second master, I saw Wen Rongxi, and I think he and Yan Chengxuan have a really good relationship."

"Yan Chengxuan has something in his hands." Li Yanchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Wen Rongxi and Yan Chengxuan were at odds at first, and I remember that Yan Chengxuan almost beat him when they made trouble. Don't dare to mess around."

Zhuo Ran let out a "hmm", she looked up at the window, and saw that it was getting dark outside, Li Yuchuan put his chin on the top of her hair and said, "What are you looking at, you want to drive me away?"

"No." Zhuo Ran dragged her tone, she buried herself in Li Yanchuan's arms, and when she woke up, Li Yanchuan had already left.

Chang Yinyu managed to go to bed early, but when he woke up, the door was locked. He knocked hard on the door but no one responded, so he almost slashed the door with his sword.Fortunately, the maid was rescued and ran out after hearing the shout.

"Who did it?" Chang Yinyu put his hands on his hips, frowned, and said, "If I sleep, someone would dare to do this, lock my room door, what do you want to do, huh?...No..."

He reacted immediately, turned around and ran into Zhuo Ran's room.His little junior sister had already cleaned up and was sitting on the rattan chair drinking scented tea.Hearing that someone was coming, Zhuo Ran raised her head, the red rope around her wrist came out, the silver bell swayed slightly, and Chang Yinyu blinked.

"In such a hurry?" Zhuo Ran smiled lightly and said, "Did you sleep well? It's already time."

Chang Yinyu frowned and looked inside, and said, "This..."

"What do you think is wrong?" Zhuo Ran asked back, she slightly raised her eyebrows, and said: "It's nothing, Qiu Wei will be in the day after tomorrow. Although the Imperial College is busy these two days, it's okay to be free occasionally."

She added a coat to cover the marks on her neck, but Chang Yinyu didn't see it, but his suspicions did not subside. He heard Zhuo Ran mention Qiu Wei, so he moved the topic to that.

Chang Yinyu said: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this autumn, and sent the imperial guards to guard it, and protect it layer by layer. There will never be a situation like a trial."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "I know."

"Then let's go to the Imperial College now." Chang Yinyu ordered people to get the carriage ready, and said softly, "After all, you are still a secretary, so don't lose your dignity."

***
Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the lights in Gaodu were dimmed last night, and it was also lively during the day. The streets and alleys of Gaodu were filled with colorful silk. The night of the [-]th is a traditional lantern festival, and some people started to get busy right now.

Zhuo Ran's carriage drove through the streets, and Chang Yinyu sat in front of the carriage and said, "Little Junior Sister, look at these lights, they are so beautiful."

Zhuo Ran heard the words and opened the curtain, Gaodu is an imperial city, naturally prosperous, but the bustle here is far different from Yongzhou's.

"It's very beautiful." Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "If you have a chance tonight, let's take a stroll."

"Come on!" Chang Yinyu was naturally happy when he heard that he wanted to play. He rode his horse forward and said, "Give me the money first."

Zhuo Ran lowered the curtain and said, "As long as you don't blame me for being late, I'll give you money."

Chang Yinyu raised his eyes and smiled.

At the same time, at the Yushitai, the doctors of the Yushi were busy with their own affairs. Li Chengru hid in the house and slept under the pretext of hanging up his idle job, and was woken up.

Li Chengru is very used to the darkness during this time, it can be said that only the darkness can make him feel comfortable.He knew who the person was without lighting the lamp, so he simply leaned against the side of the couch and said, "Why are you here?"

Yuan Lu bowed respectfully, even though Li Chengru couldn't see it.He said softly: "Godfather, I have already followed your instructions, but this method is really too risky, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Li Chengru leaned back slightly, and said, "I don't stop doing one thing, but there is still one thing I need to leave to you to complete."

Yuan Lu bowed his head and said, "What else can Godfather tell you?"

Li Chengru sighed, and said: "There is one thing you may not know. This Chu family's situation is unstable because there are still some hidden factors affecting it. You will know the details later, but now you need to find a people."

Yuan Lu walked up to Li Chengru in the dark, Li Chengru whispered for a moment, Yuan Lu widened his eyes, shook his head in disbelief, and said, "Is what godfather said true? This..."

"Whether it's true or not, now that we've reached this point, we can't look back for a moment, otherwise it will be a dead end." Li Chengru seemed to be sighing, but what was revealed was a desperate mood.

Yuan Lu swallowed his saliva, and he didn't react when the sun was shining on his body when he got out of the room. He was still immersed in the coldness of the dark night, and it took him a long time to recover.

Yuan Lu got into the carriage with someone's help, and bumped into Zhuo Ran's carriage on the road.Zhuo Ran is now a man of the hour in Gaodu. Last night there was a dance in the governor's mansion, and the famous painter in Gaodu rushed out the portrait overnight. At this time, only one of them was still being fought over. Yuan Lu went to Yushitai to find Li Chengru's. At that time, I saw portraits on the side of the road.

Seeing the real person at this moment, Yuan Lu saluted in a hurry, Zhuo Ran smiled, at this moment, Yuan Lu's heart trembled terribly, and the panic just now dissipated completely.

Chang Yinyu said in a low voice: "Junior Junior Sister, looking at the direction he came from, it seems to be Yushitai."

Zhuo Ran licked the corners of her lips and said, "Li Chengru just took in two godsons, Lu San and Yuan Lu. The first one is not worth much, and the second one is too smart, but it's a pity that he is not sensible."

But the courage is commendable, he dared to come to Li Chengru, it seemed that he really regarded him as a relative, and there was definitely something going on here.

"Yike, find someone to check Yuanlu." Zhuo Ran said.

Chang Yin understood clearly and agreed.
