Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Nan Zhen retreated slightly, shook her head, "No more."

It's just that I just dozed off for a while, and my throat was a little dry when I woke up, so I just need to moisten it.

Xiao Rongxi smiled softly, put down the water glass as she said, and raised her hand to comb her messy hair, "I'm really tired after driving for days, you should go to bed early."

Nan Zhen heard that this was wrong, she tilted her head, "Your Majesty is going out?"

"No," Xiao Rongxi explained, "There are two urgent papers sent over, and I will go to bed after I approve them."

He paused for a while, and then said, "Didn't someone say that I have a lot of free time recently? Now the official business is here."

"Hey."

Nan Zhen laughed dryly, dragged the thin quilt and lay down again, the hair that had been straightened just now was messed up very quickly.

Seeing this, Xiao Rongxi raised his eyelids slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, "Aren't you going to accompany me by the side?"

"I can be regarded as accompanying His Majesty in this way."

"Too far……"

Xiao Rongxi drew a long tail, but he slowly bent down and pressed down, with his arms spread out, propped on both sides of the soft couch, covering her completely and locking her in front of him.

The breath suddenly approached, Nan Zhen did not hide or dodge, looked directly at him, blinked slowly, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

For a while, it was unclear who was hooking whom.

Xiao Rongxi looked into her eyes, raised her chin with his fingertips after a while, pressed against her lips and said, "You don't want to get up, then I will bring you the booklet."

His voice was deep and deep, but it was still a bit hazy when he heard it from such a close distance.

Nan Zhen couldn't help tilting her head and laughing, "Your Majesty looks like a faint king who was stunned by the demon concubine."

"Well," Xiao Rongxi responded and let go of her, "Your ability."

……

After running around for many days, the two of them rested in the house all night and one morning before recovering.

At noon, Nan Zhen finally opened the door and went downstairs with Xiao Rongxi to have lunch.

Ningcheng's roast chicken is very famous, the four of them ordered a whole one directly, and also chose some special dishes of the inn, chatting while eating.

Next to them sat a table of people dressed as shopkeepers. They were putting down their shoulder poles, ordered two jugs of wine, and several plates of peanuts. They sat down casually, drank wine, chatted, and wentssip about the neighbors by the way.

The shopkeeper shuttles through the streets and alleys with his shoulder pole all day long, and he is very well informed.

The thin one among them took a sip of wine and asked, "Hey, have you heard that the Fan family seems to be haunted?"

"Go, go," the person on the other side threw a peanut into his mouth and smiled, "Don't you be scared because you came back late last night? There are no ghosts in this world!"

As he spoke, he laughed with others.

"Don't believe it," said the thin man, not panicking at all, "I know a gardener who works in Fan's house. He said it himself, and said that Miss Fan collided with unclean things, so that she lingered on the sick bed for half a day. I haven't seen you well for a month."

The person on the other side was still skeptical, "Really?"

"What did I lie to you for!"

The other person hissed and recalled with a frown, "Don't tell me, I passed by the backyard of Fan's house with goods these few days, and I could vaguely smell some incense. At that time, I thought it was strange. reason."

"Ah, this is terrible. Have you invited the Taoist priest to take a look?"

The lean man continued, "I heard that I'm looking for it, but it's very low-key, and few people know about it. So far, I haven't found a suitable one."

Put your heads together, lower your voice, thinking that others can't hear, but the words are clear to the ears of martial arts practitioners.

Nan Zhen's movement of tearing the chicken slowed down a bit, and after listening to the whole process, her expression didn't change much.

Naturally, she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and there must be someone pretending to be a ghost behind this.

She didn't have much impression of Fan's family, and had nothing to do with her, so she only listened to it as anecdotal news.

After dinner, Xiao Rongxi and Feiliu left the inn to do some business, Nan Zhen didn't want to move, so she went up the escalator and went straight back to her room.

Everything was as usual, but when she opened the door, she suddenly felt something was wrong——

There is someone in the room.

After Nan Zhen stepped into the threshold, she hesitated for a moment before closing the door, walking lightly like a cat, bypassing the emerald green screen erected in the center, and looking at the thin figure sitting with her back facing her.

The loose yet somewhat flowing belt was swayed here and there by the wind, and the wide sleeves were half bulged, but it didn't affect his posture of drinking tea in the slightest.

Nan Zhen stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, "When did you come?"

"A quarter of an hour ago." Chu Li replied without looking back.

From the corner of the eye, she caught a glimpse of Nan Zhen's skirt moving slightly. It was not until she stood in front of him that she finally raised her eyelids and said with a grin, "This tea is good."

Nan Zhen sat cross-legged across from her, and poured herself a cup, "Gong Cha, can you be nice?"

This tea is Xiao Rongxi's favorite. It has a mellow taste and a sweet aftertaste. Before leaving the palace, he specially packed two cans with him.

"No wonder."

Chu Li bent his elbows, put the tea on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, then narrowed his beautiful eyes, "Why aren't you surprised to see me at all?"

Nan Zhen shrugged, shook her wrist and clinked glasses with him, "Yesterday Fei Liu said he saw you, so I thought, if you are really in Ningcheng, you will be here soon."

"Oh," Chu Li chuckled, "Then guess what I'm here for?"

"It can't be from thousands of miles away, and the hero came here to save the beauty, right?"

Although she didn't see the farce in front of Kong's house with her own eyes, she could get a general idea of ​​it after all the hard work.

Chu Li listened to her teasing, his eyelids drooped slightly and he was quite helpless, "Do you still remember Zhong Hai?"

"Huh?" Nan Zhen thought for a while, "This name is very familiar... Wasn't he from Beitang before, and then died in a mission. I remember that mission, both Nanbeitang sent people to go, As a result, the entire army was wiped out, and no one was spared."

At that time, Li Song had a capable general named Shen Hu, who was not here.

Chu Li nodded, but his expression was a bit playful, "Yes, the whole army was wiped out, and as many bodies were brought back as many people went there. But I recently got news that Zhong Hai is not dead, and is still active in the Ningcheng area."

Nan Zhen reacted for two seconds, then frowned, "Is the news accurate?"

"precise."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come in person.

Zhong Hai is to Bai Zhanxiao what Shenhu is to Li Song, and they are all extremely trusted by his subordinates.

After the incident happened, Li Song has been investigating the reasons behind it, but Bai Zhanxiao didn't pay much attention.He belongs to the cold-tempered group, and no one finds it strange. Now that he thinks about it carefully, Bai Zhanxiao is too calm, as if he had expected this matter long ago.

"Zhong Hai didn't die, the body he brought back that day was a fake?"

Chu Li put down the cup casually, "He's a fake death, and the rest of the people should be real. This one seems a bit like a deliberate silence."

If Zhong Hai came back alive alone, he would definitely be interrogated by the cabinet, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to hide what he wanted to hide.
