Chapter 617
On the fifth night of August, Zuoqiu Yao had been sitting in the study for three hours in a row.

The table in front of him was covered with papers, densely packed or sparsely covered, most of which were places and names of people.

"Crack." He threw the pen in his hand directly on the table, brought a piece of rice paper for drawing, and spread it on top of the other papers.Then pick up the pen, write and sketch quickly.

Dozens of names of people and places were quickly scattered all over the paper, like chess pieces scattered on a chessboard.Zuo Qiuyao discarded the ink-stained pen and switched to a cinnabar pen to further sort out the names of people and places that had been initially marked.

Until the crescent moon was sinking westward, he finally sorted out the final result.

After writing out the last name, the pen in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he could not leave the paper for a long time.

"...red line." Zuoqiu threw away the third pen.

"Master." The red thread pushed the door open and walked in, "What orders does the master have?"

"Prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace to face the saint." Zuoqiu Yue ordered, "Go and inform Ah Yue that the situation has changed, and there may be troubles at the wedding banquet, so let him make preparations."

"Yes." After the red line responded, he did not act immediately, but asked, "Master, what did you find?"

Zuo Qiuyao frowned, she was never so careless before: "Just do it."

The red thread slowly raised its head, and the lovely and pure face became more and more charming against the candlelight.She looked at Zuoqiu Yue with affectionate eyes: "Master, this servant has something to report."

"What's the matter?" Zuo Qiuyao was burning with anxiety at this moment, and her tone was a little impatient.

"This matter is related to what the master is going to say about entering the palace." The red thread approached slowly, and came to Zuo Qiuyao's side.

Although she stayed by Zuo Qiuyao's side as a maidservant, the two had already had a physical relationship, so Zuo Qiuyao did not reject her approach, nor did she take any precautions.

"Master, what this servant wants to say is..."

With a knife in his hand, Zuo Qiuyao immediately fell limp.

The red thread caught him and put him on the chair.Then he turned around and looked at the paper on the table, and saw a name written with a cinnabar pen at a glance.

"Master, you shouldn't have found out so early." Her face was full of love and affection, "If you are stupid, don't find out about these things. This servant can try to save your life."

She sighed softly, picked up the paper on the table, went to the candlestick, took off the lampshade, ignited it, and burned it clean.

……

Hedong Palace.

Bai Shi woke up from the dream, and the personal maid heard the movement coming in from the outside: "Princess."

Bai took a few breaths, got up from the bed, took the handkerchief handed over by the maid and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "What time is it?"

"Go back to the princess, just passed away."

"Whose yard did the prince go to?"

"My lord hasn't come back." The maid replied, "I've been paying attention, my lord hasn't come back since I went out in the evening."

Hearing this, Bai's eyes lowered, and he slowly lowered his hands.

It is common for Zuoqiu Yue not to return home all night, besides the Yanliu place, he also kept a few outhouses in Shendu, all of which the Bai family knew.But tonight she was extremely panicked, always feeling that something bad would happen.

"Take some money and go to the boys who often go out with the prince to see if any of them are in the mansion." Bai Shi ordered, "If they are, use more money, find a way to talk, and ask clearly. The whereabouts of the prince tonight."

"Ask now?"

"Going right now."

"Yes, servant girl will go immediately."

……

Henan Palace.

Tonight's palace is extremely lively, the palace is decorated with lights and festoons, there are still servants running around after midnight, it is even busier than New Year's Eve.

Song Guo went to Mei's mansion to accompany Mei Zhixue, while Qi Lecheng and Gu Lin gathered in Xiao Yan's room, chatting and drinking.

"The first time I saw my aunt and you is still vivid in my memory. In a blink of an eye, you are going to marry a wife, and the one you marry is sister Zhixue." Qi Lecheng recalled the past, and suddenly felt a little emotional, "No wonder I married you a long time ago. I think she treats you differently from others, that's why."

"It stands to reason that you are the oldest among us except sister Zhixue, but Ah Yan actually got married before you." Gu Lin said, "The brothers and sisters of the Zheng family are so satisfied with you, so don't hurry up and prepare the dowry to come to propose marriage."

"Of course I have my plan." Qi Lecheng picked up his glass and touched Gu Lin's, "You should worry about yourself."

Gu Lin picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down.

"Are you and Song Guo still arguing?" Xiao Yan asked after seeing his reaction.

Gu Lin paused when he put the wine glass down, but didn't speak.

"The two of them will quarrel when they meet." Qi Lecheng said, "It's not normal if they don't quarrel."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan didn't ask any more questions.Feelings are like a person who knows when drinking water is warm or cold, and others can't talk about it.

"It's strange to say something, Song Guo is such a reticent person, it's hard for others to hear her say a few more words." Qi Lecheng smiled, "But you can let her quarrel with you every day, This is also a skill."

"It's not a quarrel with her, she doesn't talk at all." Gu Lin frowned when she heard this, "If there is something dissatisfied, she can just say it directly, every time she ignores people, I don't know why she angry."

"Women are really troublesome."

"Hey, hey, be careful what you say." Qi Lecheng reminded, "If my aunt and the others hear it, it depends on how you end up."

"I didn't mention aunt, don't slander me." Gu Lin poured himself a glass of wine, and took the initiative to touch Qi Lecheng's glass.

Qi Lecheng understood, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Don't worry, I won't sue you."

"A Yan, why don't you drink?" The two looked at Xiao Yan.Seeing that his first glass of wine was still on the table, he hadn't moved.

"Both of you drink less, you still have business tomorrow." Xiao Yan persuaded, "It's getting late, go back and rest early."

"Are you nervous now?" Qi Lecheng said teasingly in his eyes, "So you are nervous too."

"Are you really nervous?" Gu Lin also came closer, "Why didn't I see it, where is the tension?"

"We Xiao Shizi, there will be times when we are nervous?"

"Sincerely advise, don't take advantage of this moment to provoke him." Qi Lecheng said, unless you don't need to get married in your life. "

"Obviously you started it first." Gu Lin said so, but automatically withdrew her body.

Xiao Yan smiled and got up: "Okay, let's go today."

"It's gone, go back to sleep!" Qi Lecheng and Gu Lin also stood up, "Recharge your energy and go pick up the bride."

After Qi Lecheng and Gu Lin left, Xiao Yan did not go back to the bedroom, but went into the study.It took an hour to come out from inside, and there was still more than an hour before dawn.

He went back to the bedroom and lay down. When the day was bright and the servants waiting outside were hesitating whether to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside.

Xiao Yan doesn't have a personal servant, and he doesn't like to be served close by. The servants in the courtyard are only responsible for cleaning and maintaining the courtyard on weekdays, and only occasionally have the opportunity to be close.

The servant brought hot water into the room, Xiao Yan bathed and changed his clothes, and sat down to be dressed up.

The one who combed his hair was a servant who had been in the East courtyard for four or five years. When he moved his hand behind Xiao Yan's back, he pulled out a silver needle hidden in the flesh from his wrist...
