Ningshen incense was lit in the study, and the dexterous Fuxi picked a few large handfuls of white lotus, put them in a vase and placed them on the other side of the desk. When the score is full, then exit.

Xie Yunqian held on to the sunspot, his eyebrows and eyes were not as cold as usual, he thought for a moment and fell down.

Lu Chengfeng is not good at chess, and he was defeated in a narrow battle. The two of them didn't care, they cleaned up the chessboard and started a new game.

Xie Yunqian said: "Why didn't Jiuxiao follow?"

His unrepentant younger brother has never been away from Lu Chengfeng since he returned to Yanjing for more than two months.

"Subei's business affairs have been piled up for too long, and he has to make arrangements."

The identities of the two are peculiar, leaving aside the officialdom, Lu Chengfeng wants to call him "big brother", but if Xie Yunqian wants to call her "lord" in the court, the two simply agree, and do whatever they want in the past.

Xie Yunqian smiled, jokingly: "Your words sound a bit relieved."

Lu Chengfeng laughed, didn't speak, and slowly fell down.

Xie Yunqian followed, and said: "A while ago, the Ministry of Criminal Justice took over a case. In Fangcheng in the west of Nanling, the royal kiln exploded, causing many casualties."

Lu Chengfeng said, "How's the progress?"

"There are some eyebrows, Wenqing will set out to investigate the matter in two days."

Lu Chengfeng was quite surprised, it was unusual for the minister of punishment to go in person: "It seems that this eyebrow is not simple."

Xie Yunqian said: "It's related to Zheng Wentao, the eldest son of the Zheng family in Lingxi."

"Zheng Wentao? The Zheng family, a wealthy businessman from Nanling?"

Xie Yunqian nodded.

Lu Chengfeng hesitated, and said, "How can a merchant get involved with the royal kiln?"

Xie Yunqian said: "I suspect it has something to do with the Shen family. You should remember that Shen Jiangyue once went to Subei."

Lu Chengfeng withdrew his hand, and finally understood why Xie Yunqian mentioned this to her. The white chess on the chessboard was already defeated. She thought about it and said, "How much do you know?"

Xie Yunqian shook his head: "I've checked Shen Jiangyue, and there are no flaws, but there are quite a few courtiers who admire him. This Mr. Zheng once threw ten thousand taels of gold leaves into the river for Bomei's sake."

Ho - pride!
"You let Qingfeng follow her, I can't guess your purpose for a while."

Lu Chengfeng squeezed a white ball between his fingers, and said without hesitation, "No need to guess, she is a beloved sister to me."

"Even if she is Queen Jing?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled, and looked at him: "Don't use the method of interrogation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice on me."

Xie Yunqian followed up with a smile: "I'm sick, I can't help it."

Lu Chengfeng said: "So, sometimes you should ask for leave and go for a walk."

Xie Yunqian's eyes paused, he was a little confused, so looking at her, Lu Chengfeng sighed, and said helplessly, "I really mean it literally."

Xie Yunqian smiled: "I thought you were suggesting that I take a trip to Nanling secretly."

Lu Chengfeng thought for a while: "It's not impossible, but—"

She stared at the chessboard, and made a slow move: "But I don't suggest that the Ministry of Punishment intervene in this matter."

"Why?"

"There's really nothing wrong with Nanling right now, but if Shen Jiangyue has gone too far, or if she dares to kill Shen Li, I can't guarantee that I will get involved. When you find half of it, the court will definitely not let the Ministry of Punishment take over again in order to avoid suspicion. , you can’t always do things with a beginning and no end.”

Xie Yunqian was a little surprised, she didn't expect that she would value this Shen Li so much.

Zhou Lihua entered from the outside and said: "You two can't stop talking about business at home?"

Xie Yunqian said: "Where is there any business talk?"

Zhou Lihua said: "Why do you have such an expression when you don't talk about business? It's bitter and bitter."

Lu Chengfeng put down the chess pieces, stood up and said, "Sister is right."

Xie Yunqian groaned twice, Lu Chengfeng ignored him, Xie Yunqian said: "Is this the end?"

He looked at the chessboard, then at the two of them, and said, "Why can't you afford to lose as a prince?"

Lu Chengfeng gave an unpredictable smile, took Zhou Lihua's arms, and said, "Sister, look—"

Zhou Lihua glanced at Xie Yunqian, and said: "Chengfeng is not good at chess, if you want to play, I will ask Jiu Xiao to come and play with you."

Xie Yunqian suddenly felt dull, relaxed, and said: "Let him play with me, there is no fun at all."

Zhou Lihua had a see-through look: "It's no fun, have you ever won Jiuxiao?"

Xie Yunqian stopped holding the tea, sighed deeply, and said with emotion: "My status is not guaranteed..."

Zhou Lihua made fun of him twice, and said to Lu Chengfeng: "Chengfeng, I got two horses of high-quality material last month, and made two sets of clothes according to your size, and I will try it with my sister."

Xie Yunqian swallowed his tea, well, now there's not even a chatterer left.

Xie Cen didn't come over at night, it seemed that he was really busy, Dong Jiu followed behind Lu Chengfeng, lowered the curtain after she got into the car, got on the front of the car and told the driver to leave.

Lu Chengfeng opened the wooden box given by Xie Yunqian.

"This is Shisan's congratulatory gift to you. He blamed himself for what happened back then, and felt ashamed to see Jiuxiao again."

It is a bright red jade pendant.

Xie Yunqian said: "I don't know what happened, but this jade pendant is on Dr. Wu's body."

Lu Chengfeng didn't explain to him, put away the box, and said, "How is Thirteen?"

"He has left Yanjing with Doctor Wu and traveled around."

-

It was already two o'clock when we went back, and the garden was quiet, when the guards came up, Lu Chengfeng said, "Have you eaten at Jiuxiao?"

Jin Wei said: "My lord has just had dinner, and now I should be seeing Wutong."

Lu Chengfeng then went to the backyard. There was an indescribably pleasant feeling in the evening breeze in July. Her gaze fell under the sycamore tree in the garden.

For more than two years, the sycamore tree has become stronger and stronger, and its branches have become stronger day and night because it has not been pruned. It is particularly eye-catching in this small garden. What is even more eye-catching at this moment is the morning flower swing under the tree, which is bright and beautiful. of purple.

Seeing her walking over, Jin Wei said, "Young Master ordered someone to do this in the afternoon, and he said that Master would like it."

Jin Wei looked at her expression, but it was difficult to tell whether Lu Chengfeng liked it or not. Their master was even more difficult to fathom than when he was young.

Lu Chengfeng touched the swing with his hands, he was a little dazed, and then smiled.

Look, even if she didn't say anything, Xie Jiuxiao could always guess what color Lu Chengfeng liked, what food he liked, and which words were true and which were false.

How could she be willing to let go of such a careful, intelligent and extremely intelligent person who was willing to be a prisoner at the beginning, so she tied them together, hurt me and felt what I felt, but later——later, she was afraid that he would be alone after she died, but even In this way, Lu Chengfeng still refused to let go.

Unless she died - no, even if she died, she would let Xie Cen remember her forever!

Lu Chengfeng felt that she was abnormal, it was a possessive desire that was already insane and could even be called terrifying, but was silently suppressed in the bottom of her heart, she didn't pay much attention to it, or she accepted it calmly because she had already expected it.

Lu Chengfeng sat on the swing and swung, and the guard stepped back.

Quietly, the silhouette of a person reflected on the window sill, as if it was her, the year she spent here.

Lu Chengfeng swayed and jumped high, and he heard Liu Xiaoxiao's crisp voice: "Sister Lu is amazing!"

Zhuo San rubbed her head heavily: "Little girl, don't be too obsessed, it's just a sword dance, and your Uncle Zhuo can do it too."

Liu Xiaoxiao came up with a bad idea: "Uncle Zhuo, compare yourself with Sister Lu, I'll be the referee—"

Suddenly it snowed, and two people, one big and one small, swept the snow against the falling snowflakes in the garden.

Liu Xiaoxiao threw away the broom: "Why doesn't Sister Lu sweep? She has to go this way too!"

Zhuo San took the squatting person aside and whipped her ass with the broom. Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't squat for a while, and fell into the snowdrift: "You go up and don't delay me sweeping the snow, the master was busy all day yesterday. I'm so tired from business, I guess I didn't sleep well."

Liu Xiaoxiao was annoyed with snowflakes all over her head: "Uncle Zhuo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo San burst out laughing when he was kicked back again.

Liu Xiaoxiao shook off the snow all over her head, picked up the broom angrily, and followed Zhuo San to sweep again, the door of the room was opened just after sweeping.

Liu Xiaoxiao completely lost her broom and ran over: "Sister Lu."

Lu Chengfeng's face was slightly sleepy, his eyes were dark and blue, he did not sleep well as Zhuo San said, and said: "Back to your Uncle Zhuo again?"

Liu Xiaoxiao said: "No way, it's obviously Uncle Zhuo bullying me."

Seeing her wearing two buns, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help rubbing her head, Liu Xiaoxiao covered it, and said angrily, "Touching my head again! Uncle Zhuo has learned from you!"

Lu Chengfeng said nonchalantly, "Motou grows fast."

Someone behind him held the swing, and everything passed abruptly.

Under the phoenix tree, Xie Jiuxiao asked, "Why are you so preoccupied with thinking?" He didn't even notice when he came.

Lu Chengfeng looked ahead and said, "I'm thinking about long life."

Xie Jiuxiao gently pushed the man forward, and within his controllable range, he said, "Longevity?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled lightly, and said, "Well, I will live a long life with you."
