The two men seemed not to hear her and continued to move towards her.

"If you take one more step forward, I'm going to shout!" Bo Shuzhi said, his apricot eyes scanning around, hoping to see any forbidden troops passing by.

But the surroundings were so quiet that she could barely hear any sound except for her own increasingly rapid breathing.

The two men still didn't speak, but their exposed eyes were laced with sneers. Suddenly, one of the men took a big step forward and grabbed her arm.

"Ah... let go, you guys... this is the palace..." Bo Shuzhi was completely panicked, struggling hard, slapping him hard with his hands that were not restrained, and shouting, "Here, help... help...

…”

But the next moment, her other hand was also held by the man who came up from behind, and they both moved their hands backwards, pushing out her breasts.

Bo Shuzhi's eyes were red, and his almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, but he still suppressed them and refused to fall.

Seeing the remaining men approaching her one after another, she was so frightened that her body trembled violently, her legs moved back, and she shouted louder, "There is someone coming, there is an assassin..."

Hidden in a place on the other side of the rockery.

"The beauty seems to be very scared. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to just look like this and not help me..." The voice was light and leisurely, even with a bit of a smile.

"..." The man in white clothes standing next to him had an indifferent expression, and his deep pupils seemed to be a little impatient. In response to his words, he just moved his lips and said nothing.

She didn't hear his answer and looked over with raised eyebrows. A pair of narrow phoenix eyes glowed faintly under the reflection of the fireworks in the sky. The flickering night sky made his beautiful cheeks look unrealistic. "Marquis Zhonglie

You haven’t answered yet, is this a beautiful rescue or not?!”

His voice was light and not heavy, but it conveyed a dignity that could not be ignored.

Qi Mijing was neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, tonight is the birthday of the Empress Dowager. I have been absent from the banquet for a long time, which is inconsistent with the etiquette... As for whether this is a good rescue or not, it all depends on the emperor's wishes. I turned back first..."

After saying that, regardless of whether he responded or not, he turned around to leave, but was stopped by Nan Jue and Zhen Xiang, who were only a few steps away from him.

Qi Mijing frowned slightly and stopped, but did not turn around.

"Marquis Zhonglie is really becoming more and more ambitious, and he is even more impressive than the previous Marquis. At least the former Marquis always keeps in mind the principles of king and minister!" Zhen Xiang said coldly.

I thought to myself, this Zhongliehou is really a arrogant person. Before the emperor could say anything to ask him to leave, he turned around and left. What if he wasn't arrogant?

In response to his words, Qi Mujing just glanced at him, his expression unchanged and very calm.

Seeing this, Nan Jue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I have heard ministers in the DPRK talk about this Zhongliehou before, and they all said that he was calm, calm and restrained in dealing with things, and he was rarely seen getting angry because of things. Except for the last time on the wedding day of King Rui, his wife did not slip and fall into the water.

, only a trace of other emotions broke through his stern face.

Although the two had been colleagues for several years, their friendship was not deep, and they each performed their own duties, but they did not know much about him. Now it seems that the Zhonglie Marquis can act calmly in front of the emperor, and he is independent, so he is quite a character.

Tuoba Yu half-squinted his eyes and stared at him for a while, seemingly not paying attention to his bold behavior.

The corners of his lips curled up, and he waved his hand casually at Zhen Xiang.

Zhen Xiang saw it and retreated a few steps away from Nan Jue again.

"Marquis Zhonglie doesn't have anything to ask me?!" Tuoba Yu said casually, pointing to the blood jade on his waist, "Like the 'former' Marquis' wife?"

He bit the word "front" very hard, as if he was reminding him of something.

Qi Mujing shook hands slightly and said, "The Emperor promised Wei Chen, and Wei Chen believes that the Emperor can do it. And Wei Chen will naturally do his best when he agrees to the Emperor."

"

"Ha..." Tuoba Yu chuckled, raised his phoenix pupils, and his eyes shone brightly, "I am true to my words, so Lord Zhonglie can rest assured that I will take good care of the 'former' wife."

He shook his bright yellow wide sleeves and his voice suddenly deepened, "Since Marquis Zhonglie is anxious to come back to celebrate my grandma's birthday, I will not keep Marquis Zhonglie to watch the show. Marquis Zhonglie can leave."

His words inexplicably made him feel depressed. Qi Mujing tightened the corners of his lips, glanced back at him from the corner of his eyes, put one hand behind his back, and strode out.

Tuoba Yu stared at his back thoughtfully, vaguely feeling that he seemed a little different today than in the past. He looked a little restless and anxious, as if he had something important to do in a hurry.

Raising his eyebrows, this Qi Mijing is really getting more and more interesting.

No, it should be that he found Marquis Zhonglie very interesting from the moment he took the initiative to make a deal with him!

——————————————————————————————————————————

Bo Liuzhi and Zheng Meiren walked side by side. Fu'er lit the palace lantern in front and led the way. Behind him, he led a group of palace maids and eunuchs to the south to follow.

Just now, she proposed to take a walk around the palace and watch the night view. Xiang Nan did not stop her, but she just asked that more people be asked to follow her to prevent any accidents.

I was worried, so I agreed.

She raised her head and looked at the fireworks that were still flashing and exploding in the night sky. This scene always reminded her of the fireworks that she had not been able to light with her own hands when she was at the Marquis Mansion.

Perhaps those fireworks that have not yet been lit are just like the relationship between her and Qi Mijing, imagining that the future will be colorful, but later they still failed to bloom, leaving only the mottled memories of bad memories.

The corner of her eyes turned to Beauty Zheng beside her. She seemed a little absent-minded. She kept looking around with her eyes and sneered in her heart. This Beauty Zheng looked gentle and harmless, but she was even more difficult than Concubine Hua, who had exerted her arrogance to the extreme.

Do it.

His eyes moved to her hands that were covered by long sleeves. It was because her eyesight was so good that she could always see things she shouldn't.

There was a vulture printed on the back of her hand near her wrist. Without looking carefully, she would just think it was just an ordinary mark.

Or, if she hadn't seen similar marks before, she didn't take it to heart...

"ah……"

The sudden scream caused several people to stop.

Bo Liuzhi asked with some uncertainty, "Zheng Meiren, did you hear anything?"

Without waiting for Mei Zheng's reply.

"Ah... get away, don't touch me!"

This time the voice was much clearer. Bo Liuzhi opened his eyes wide and looked around, his eyes falling on the rockery a few steps away.

The rockery is a rare square shape with four sides. From her angle, she cannot see the other three sides of the rockery.

Seeing that she was completely attracted by the voice, Zheng Meiren glanced at Fu'er.

Fu'er also happened to look at her, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she shook her head slightly.

Zheng Meiren nodded, pursed her lips and stepped forward to hold Bo Liuzhi's hand, "Girl, don't be afraid, the sound just now sounded like the meowing of a pet cat that the empress had raised out of boredom."

Little pet cat?!

Bo Liuzhi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Really?" As he said this, he backhanded Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan immediately came forward and asked, "What are your orders, young lady?"

"Just now I heard someone shouting, it seemed to be coming from the rockery over there, please take a few people over to have a look." Bo Liuzhi raised his eyebrows, "Maybe Zheng Meiren is right, or she is the daughter of a certain palace queen.

It's not necessarily a pet cat. Hearing that cry, it seems to be injured. Since we encountered it, let's go and have a look."

Xiang Nan answered yes and waved from behind, and immediately several guards in silver armor emerged from a corner.

Bo Liu frowned, then looked to the south, "These..."

Xiang Nanruo glanced at Zheng Meiren with a pointed look, and then replied, "I am ordered to take care of the girl, so naturally I need to think carefully. These elite soldiers are used to protect the girl."

After living in the palace for many years, none of the concubines in the harem are a fuel-efficient lamp.

Not to mention that Beauty Zheng is so out of her mind today. If he doesn't pay more attention to this girl, if there is any evil in this girl, even ten million heads will not be enough for him to chop her off!

Bo Liuzhi just nodded lightly and said nothing.

Seeing this, Mei Zheng and Fu'er looked at each other and lowered their eyes.

After a while, the men turned back.

"What's going on?" Xiang Nan asked sharply.

One of the men took a step forward and whispered a few words in his ear. When the man finished speaking, Xiang Nan's expression changed drastically.

He regained his composure in an instant and said to Bo Liuzhi, "Girl, maybe Zheng Meiren guessed it right, but the meow just now was from the pet cat. Now she thought about it and ran away. The guards didn't find anything unusual in the past.

"

Bo Liuzhi nodded, pretending not to notice the sudden change in his expression, "Since there's nothing wrong, let's go." After saying that, he turned around and left.

But Xiang Nan stopped her before she could take a step forward, "Girl, it's getting late, I'll take you back to the palace."

go back?

But she just came out!

Bo Liuzhi frowned slightly, but his eyes fell behind the rockery. Something must have happened there.

"Girl, please come back." Xiang Nan urged, beads of sweat already rolling down his forehead.

Bo Liuzhi glanced at Zheng Meiren in embarrassment, "Zheng Meiren..."

"What I said to my father-in-law is absolutely true. The sky is dark and the wind is strong in the cold night. If the girl is frozen, it will be my fault. Why don't I invite the girl to go with her again during the day?"

Zheng Meiren's voice became more and more gentle in the dark night.

Bo Liuzhi frowned and seemed to think for a while before nodding and saying, "Okay then, I'll make another date with you on another day."

He turned around and looked at Xiang Nan, "Let's go, father-in-law Xiang, let's go back."

Xiang Nan immediately reached out to hold her arm.

Only then did Bo Liuzhi smile at Zheng Meiren and turn around.

"Ah... stop it, stop it!!! Do you know who I am? I am the unmarried wife of Marquis Zhonglie. If you do anything to me, Amu will not let you go!" Fear, despair, and regret

Sadness, with the determination of a last-ditch effort.

The steps he had already taken stopped, and Bo Liuzhi's heart started beating loudly.

She said she was the unmarried wife of Marquis Zhonglie, her eyes widened suddenly, it was... Bo Shuzhi!!!

Almost immediately, Bo Liuzhi shook off Xiang Nan's hand, quickly turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the rockery.
To be continued...
