Chapter 21

The afternoon sun was scorching hot, but Su Hailing didn't feel the slightest bit of heat by relying on the internal skills handed down from his family.

On the stone table in the gazebo are chilled sour plum soup and seasonal fruits, which can be taken at will. Although Lu Tong and the guards dare not leave, they also stand far away so as not to disturb her interest.

Biting the sweet melon and fruit, Su Hailing couldn't help cursing himself secretly, after enjoying it like this and getting used to it, can he still be a qualified iron-blooded soldier?But it turns out that the authentic Su Hailing is a master who can lie down and never sit, can sit and never stand, and can stand against the wall and never stand upright. If she suddenly becomes diligent now, I am afraid that the suspicious Her Majesty the Queen rushed over immediately!
For three days, I hope Yunmo really has the ability to handle things more beautifully.

While turning her thoughts, she slowly closed her eyes.

It was very late last night without returning to Chaoyang Palace, and Haoyue made troubles for a while, so I really didn't sleep for long...

Hong Chen approached lightly, and covered her body with the thin blanket in his hand.

"Haoyue hasn't come back yet?" Su Hailing asked softly.

Hong Chen, who thought she was already asleep, was startled, the thin blanket almost fell to the ground, and then said after a pause, "Not yet."

Su Hailing gave an "um" and stopped talking, and his breathing gradually became soft and steady.

Hongchen heaved a sigh of relief, cleaned up the cups and saucers on the table, and quietly stepped back.

"Hong Chen, where did Zi Mo go?" Lu Tong stopped him at the corner and asked in a low voice.

"Zi Mo?" Hong Chen was stunned, "I asked him to go to the clothing bureau to get Yue Shijun's regular palace clothes, what's wrong?"

"He didn't go in the direction of the clothing bureau." A cold light flashed in Lu Tong's eyes, and he said coldly, "Going that way, you can only go to one place, His Majesty's Imperial Study Room!"

"Vice Commander Lu, are you not mistaken?" Hong Chen asked in surprise.

"The Commander and I have been on duty in the Imperial Study Room for several years, how could we make a mistake." Lu Tong said.

"But... what is he going to do in the imperial study?" Hong Chen, who had always been calm, couldn't help but panic when he heard the news.

"Who are you working for?" Lu Tong said, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, and a strong murderous aura exuded from his whole body.

Seeing her like this, Hong Chen calmed down instead, and said with a shallow smile: "Vice Commander Lu suspects that we are His Majesty's internal response to arrange for the princess? Don't forget, it seems that you, Vice Commander, were appointed by His Majesty."

"I, Lu Tong, have only one master, and that is Commander Haoyue." Lu Tong said unmoved, "If Princess Ruiqing is the one that the commander recognizes, then Lu Tong will treat her as the master."

"You like Yue Shijun." Hong Chen was stunned for a while, and said with certainty.

"You men, how do you know about love?" Lu Tong looked at him disdainfully.

"We know about love? So what!" Hong Chen only felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his voice, "Then tell me, what else can we do? As a woman, how do you know us? The sorrow in the heart of a man oppressed by the world!"

Lu Tong was stunned by his outburst, and didn't speak for a long time.

Hongchen raised his hand to wipe his eyes, bumped her away, and walked away without looking back, his steps became faster and faster, and in the end he was almost running.

"The Commander has saved my life three times. Even if I die for him in this life, I still owe him two lives." Lu Tong looked at the empty corridor and said to himself, "I just don't want such pure feelings to be destroyed. It's just a twist."

Su Hailing in the gazebo still had his eyes closed, but there was a wry smile on his lips.

She wanted to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep because she was concerned about Haoyue.Because she has been working hard to dispel the heat, her hearing is much more sensitive than ordinary people, so the conversation between Lu Tong and Hong Chen naturally entered her ears without saying a word.

Zimo, Hongchen, Lutong, even Haoyue...how much can I trust you?

In a daze, she finally fell asleep completely.

In the dream, she seemed to be back in modern times, wearing a camouflage military uniform, crawling and rolling in the tropical jungle full of gunfire, every cluster of sparks, every burst of blood made her cold heart beat hard.

When I woke up, it was already sunset.

Su Hailing stretched, lifted the thin blanket, and stood up.

"Your Highness." A hand next to him handed over a wet silk scarf.

Su Hailing took it casually, wiped her face, the cool feeling drove away the remaining drowsiness, and she saw the people around her clearly, and her face darkened: "Where did you go?"

Zi Mo's face turned pale, and she knelt down meekly.

"What's the matter, let's talk." Su Hailing took a breath slightly, sat down again, but didn't let him stand up.

"Damn Zi Mo for leaving Chaoyang Palace privately and following Lord Shi Jun privately," Zi Mo said.

"Oh?" Su Hailing raised his eyebrows, but did not stop him from continuing.Follow Haoyue?He's quite courageous, but...with Haoyue's martial arts, didn't he notice that someone was following him?
"Zi Mo was going to pick up things from the clothing bureau, but he saw Mr. Yue Shijun on the way, and out of curiosity...he followed secretly." Zi Mo lowered his head and said.

"Then?" Su Hailing smiled coldly, met halfway?Then what happened to what Lu Tong said.

"I... I have been following Yue Shijun, and saw him enter the imperial study room, and talked with His Majesty for a long time." Zi Mo saw her reaction, and didn't know whether she was angry or indifferent, but it didn't matter when the situation came to an end. Maybe he flinched, so he gritted his teeth and said it all.

"Understood." Su Hailing nodded and waved his hand to signal him to go down.

Zi Mo was stunned for a moment, he had imagined her various reactions in advance, but he didn't expect the result to be so calm.Is it just "I got it"?
"Anything else?" Su Hailing asked impatiently.

"Zi Mo leaves." A grievance flashed in Zi Mo's eyes, and she backed away slowly, but still turned her head every step of the way.

Su Hailing shook his head and smiled, lazily got up and went back to the room, when he passed by Lu Tong, he suddenly patted her on the shoulder.

"Your Highness?" Lu Tong was puzzled.

But Su Hailing didn't intend to explain, and he didn't bring any attendants, so he pushed the door and entered Haoyue's room.

"Ah!" Haoyue behind the screen let out a short exclamation, and then frantically wanted to pack up her things. In a hurry, her hand slipped, and several jade bottles rolled to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Su Hailing frowned, picked up a jade bottle that had rolled to her feet, opened the stopper and smelled it, was startled, and hurriedly walked behind the screen, "Gold Chuang Medicine? Yue, Where are you hurt?"

"I...I'm not..." Haoyue stood in front of the bed, only wearing a jacket, saw her barge in, turned sideways instinctively, and quickly covered her right face with one hand.

"Show me." Su Hailing strode forward and pulled his hand down.

"Your Highness!" Haoyue panicked, and subconsciously covered it with her left hand.

"Who hurt you? Your Majesty?" In an instant, Su Hailing could clearly see the injury on his face, a long and thin bloodstain across half of the right cheek, the side was slightly swollen, and several fingerprints were clearly visible.

Based on her experience, she could tell right away that such an injury was clearly a severe slap, and the ring on that person's finger had even scratched the skin.
