The prince is very fierce

Xu Buling walked out of the Ning family courtyard, walked through the neighborhoods in the night rain, and returned to Chongrenfang, still feeling a little guilty.

Master and apprentice in the world are like father, son and mother. As soon as he and Ning Qingye had a sip, he turned around and looked at his master. It was obvious that what he was doing was not human affairs. Although he was rescuing people and treating injuries, as the saying goes, "A disease should not be treated without treatment," and these things should not be fussed over, but this excuse obviously did not work.

At this moment, Xu Bu Ling could only hope that Ning Yuhe would not find out and they would treat each other as if nothing had happened. Otherwise, with Ning Qingye's temperament, he would have to chase him for thousands of miles.

There are many private houses in Chongrenfang. Because Lao Qi is secretly watching, Zhu Manzhi naturally knows the location of the small courtyard he rents.

The word "Xu Buling" appeared in the small yard, and there were only three rooms in sight, the kitchen on the left and the bedroom on the right, plus a locked main room.

There is nothing in the courtyard. There is a clothesline tied under the window, a few pairs of boots leaning against the wall, and a few weapons placed there. It seems that they usually practice martial arts.

Xu Buling listened carefully and heard steady breathing in the room. He must have been asleep. He walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked twice.

dong dong

Huhu~

Didn't wake up.

Xu Buling frowned slightly, raised his hand and pushed it gently. The door was unlocked, obviously knowing that he would come.

squeak

The door opens and closes.

Xu Buling entered the small room. There was a faint fragrance in the room. Under the dim light, there were no other objects in the room except the table, cabinet and bed. The rouge preserves purchased during the day were placed on the table, and a pair of embroidered shoes were thrown crookedly on the floor, with one of them turned over.

Looking sideways, Zhu Manzhi was lying on the embroidery bed in his clothes, making a "big" shape. He only covered his back with the quilt, but he was still lying on his stomach sideways. Well... his sleeping posture is really not very good-looking.

Xu Buling saw that Zhu Manzhi had not been awakened, and he did not want to scare the little girl, so he walked lightly and covered her with the quilt.

Zhu Manzhi said a vague "Hmm~" and muttered in his sleep:

"Mom...it's still dark...let's sleep a little longer..."

"..."

After Xu Buling looked at it for a few times, he shook his head and chuckled.

Although he was very careful, Zhu Manzhi slowly opened his eyes and took a look, closed them, and opened them again. His sleepy little face slowly turned nervous, and he closed his eyes suddenly. .

Huh~huh~huh

"Stop pretending, you're already awake."

Xu Buling sat down next to her and raised his hand to pinch her cheek in a funny way.

Zhu Manzhi turned sideways nervously and pulled the quilt. Even though he was wearing clothes, he still looked embarrassed. He turned his head to avoid Xu Buling's hand and whispered:

"Mr. Xu, why did you come here so late... I was waiting for you, but I accidentally fell asleep."

"There was some trouble just now, we were a little busy."

"oh……"

Zhu Manzhi pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at Xu Buling, and muttered:

"Master, why don't you knock on the door? I'm a girl..."

"..."

Xu Bu Ling took a breath. To be honest, it was really difficult to think of anything else for such a cute little girl. He shook his head and said:

"It's my fault. Have a good rest and come back to you in a few days."

Zhu Manzhi was actually still a little confused. He stood up and lifted the hair hanging down by his ears:

"Without presumption, Mr. Xu, please walk slowly..."

Xu Buling said "hmm", stood up and walked to the table, picked out the rouge he bought specially for Zhu Manzhi and put it on the table.

Zhu Manzhi was stunned for a moment, looked at the rouge box on the table, and felt a little embarrassed:

"Do I still have a share?"

Xu Buling raised his eyebrows: "After following me for a long time, you must have some reward, right?"

"Thank you, sir." Zhu Manzhi pursed his lips and smiled, then stood up to see him off.

Squeak—

The room fell silent.

Zhu Manzhi stood still for a moment holding on to the door. After making sure that Xu Ling would not go far, he jumped up, ran to the table, picked up the rouge box and looked at it carefully.

"whee……"

Zhu Manzhi looked over and over for a while, then fell down on the quilt, rolling back and forth, not knowing what to be happy about...——

In the middle of the night, Xu Buling returned to the palace, looking a little embarrassed and wet.

The guards patrolled around the palace in shifts. Lao Xiao, who had always slept little, lit a brazier outside the study and read the "Pictures of Jade Trees in the Erotic Palace" in his hand to read carefully.

Reading Erotic Palace at night, I occasionally felt something, and even wrote two sentences in the book to comment on it, something like 'the gentle goose-shaped path, the graceful nine-winding corridor, the delicate flowers and weak willows, the heavy rain, the spring night is short and the love is long'... I think I will be young. At that time, he was also a free man with both civil and military skills.

Tap tap tap

Seeing Xu Buling falling from the roof with a broken bamboo hat on his head, Lao Xiao closed the book and stuffed it into his sleeves, laughing and saying:

"My young prince, I heard that there was another assassination in Chongrenfang. You went there today and I'm afraid you learned something. Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on it?"

Xu Buring threw the bamboo hat aside and shook the rain off his robe:

"No, it has nothing to do with me this time."

Lao Xiao nodded and pondered for a moment: "I heard that Xu Danqing is back and started painting beauties again. I wonder who will win the first prize this time..."

"We will naturally find out in a few days."

Xu Buring was not interested in Xu Danqing, so he entered the bedroom, took out clean clothes from the cabinet and put them on. Then he took a brush from the pen holder, dipped ink and smeared it on the wall covered with rice paper, preparing for tomorrow's progress. The palace prepares.

Based on his contact these days, the Queen Mother grew up in a noble family and entered the palace to be a widow. She has no social experience at all. Like Song Yufu, she is very interested in poetry, songs, and talented men and beautiful women.

However, the Queen Mother is obviously more mature and opinionated than Song Yufu, and is much more difficult to deal with. It is obviously not possible without some explosive stuff.

The spread rice paper on the wall is smeared with messy ink. This was originally a surprise prepared by Xu Buling for Madam Lu. He promised to draw a picture for Madam Lu in the spring last time, and he has been preparing for this for a long time.

It’s a pity that the poison in his body is more urgent after all, so this carefully prepared gift can only be taken out to deal with the Queen Mother first.

In the dead of night, listening to the rustling of the drizzle outside, Xu Buling couldn’t help but think of Ning Yuhe just now. Even if he was indifferent, he couldn’t help but waver a little, and was a little curious. Of course, he wasn’t curious about anything.

After thinking for a while, Xu Buling found the clean rice paper and drew the pattern above the white tiger based on his memory.

The pattern should be the outline of a phoenix spreading its wings, only the size of a petal, and the light red color looks a bit tempting.

Xu Buling carefully observed it for a long time at that time. The pattern was definitely not a tattoo, nor did it look like it was casually drawn. A Taoist nun, who was also the most famous beauty, could not paint there for fun.

Xu Buling took the oil lamp and looked at it carefully for a few times. After identifying it for a long time, he guessed that it was probably something similar to Shougongsha.

It was not easy to ask Lao Xiao about the woman's place, so he could only throw it aside, fold up the paper, fly up, and take out a small wooden box from the beam.

The wooden box was originally used to hold jade pendants. At this time, there was a purse in it, and the purse naturally contained the bellybands of the Queen Mother and Mrs. Lu.

Xu Buling opened it and took a few glances, put the folded paper in it, and then put the wooden box on the beam again...
