Yin Yuli nodded, his tone full of regret: "What a pity, you were born in Luoqi."

"What does this mean, Your Majesty?"

"I heard that you, the prince of Luo Qi, and the prince Yu Ziye of the Lin'an Marquis Mansion are close friends of life and death. It's a pity that I have no close friends around me since I was a child! If you were born in Xiliang, I would have been able to

It’s great to meet you these days! Speaking of Yu Ziye, I have some connections with him. His maternal grandmother and Emperor Qingling were sworn brothers and sisters. They went to Luo Qi to get married and they only had one daughter, Jin Yan of Luo Qi.

The princess, and the princess's only son Yu Ziye, heard that he died on the battlefield without a trace of his body, which is really a pity."

Su Zhen's heart thumped, and she glanced at Huo Ji and saw that his expression was the same, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty and I are still old, so it's not too late for us to meet each other now."

"That's right. Okay, you two have been busy for many days and you should be tired. I won't keep you here. Go back and have a rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I retire!"

"I'll resign!"

Su Zhen and Huo Ji said goodbye.

Sitting on the carriage going in and out of the palace, Huo Ji listened to the sound of the carriage wheels running on the bluestone. He opened the curtain and looked at the vermilion palace walls, with the mottled railings and the whirling shadows of the trees. He felt inexplicably depressed.

.

He put up a soundproof barrier and said with a depressed expression: "Aning, I feel a little homesick."

"Um"

"I don't think it's good at all to be an emperor! The emperor's uncle, Yanwen's uncle, the prince's brother and the little emperor, they all work hard to get the throne. Why do you think they do this? After becoming the emperor, they have to work hard every day.

He will be busy with state affairs and review memorials until late at night. If his fate is bad, he will die suddenly at a young age due to exhaustion."

"Um"

"Some people died because they failed to seize the throne, some people worked themselves to death when they became emperors, and some emperors who were greedy for pleasure were killed because of rebellion. Do you think there are a few emperors who lived a long life? I

I think it’s good to be a carefree prince!”

"Um"

Huo Ji kept talking for a long time, and then he realized that Su Zhen was a little absent-minded.

"Aning, what's wrong with you? Did you listen to me?"

"Listen."

"Then why don't you say anything?"

"squeak"

Huo Ji's face suddenly turned dark.

Su Zhen came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly: "You! Don't think so much. Everyone has their own preferences in life. Some people love power, some love money, some love fame, and some love profit. Let's just talk about you and me.

You love money and freedom, and you love killing enemies on the battlefield. We work hard for half our lives, who dares to say that we don’t need to work hard for the rest of our lives? In that case, why bother? If you have that leisure, you might as well think about what to eat for lunch and dinner

What."

Huo Ji looked at her blankly, but he could not see too much desire in her eyes.

"I don't think you love the people."

"Um?"

"I don't think you love the people, but I don't understand why you do so much for the people?"

"Isn't it enough that I love you?"

"Ah?" Although Su Zhen was joking, Huo Ji's ears turned red: "Aning, stop making trouble!"

"Do you still remember that I tricked you into making a wish? You said that you hoped that the oceans and rivers in the world would be clear, and that the country of Luo Qi would be peaceful and peaceful."

"You always remember?"

"Of course! There is no Forgotten Grass in the underworld, but you and I have our own family ties."

Huo Ji's eyes instantly became moist, he quickly lowered his head to hide his tears and remained silent.

"Xiao Yezi, I didn't know what family love felt like in my previous life, but I feel it in this life. My father buried a jar of daughter's love for me. In fact, he always knew that I was a girl. My mother also loves me to the core, although

She asked me to dress up as a man, but I can understand her helplessness. Needless to say, the eldest sister treats you and me. She is gentle, kind, considerate, and has blocked a lot of punishment for us since we were young. Besides, my grandmother treats me even more.

I love you so much. As for you, you are also my closest relative."

"So, you are vigorously reforming Luo Qi and Xiliang because of me."

"Half and half."

"Who is the other half? Is it for General Xiao?"

"Well, for Xiao Chuhong and Xiao Mohan."

Huo Ji was silent again. After a long time, he said: "I don't want to thank you. I think it is an insult to you."

"There is no need to say thank you in the first place. You have achieved today's glory because of your own hard work."

Huo Ji raised his hand and made a fist with one hand.

Su Zhen smiled back, clenched her fists, and said nothing.

"Aning, you seemed a little absent-minded just now. What were you thinking about?"

"Do you know what ebony is?"

"It is said to be the weapon of the Phoenix."

"Phoenix is ​​good at attacking with fire. When did he use Wuxi wood? Previously, Yin Yuli made Chihuang the princess and specially rewarded her with a house containing Wuxi wood roots. This can't be a coincidence. He must have done it on purpose."

"You mean, he knew from the beginning that Red Phoenix's true form was Phoenix."

Su Zhen shook her head, she felt unsure.

"Xiao Yezi, have you seen the red linear marks on Zhai Xiangyi's wrist before?"

"I saw it. There is a slight amount of spiritual power in that mark."

"That's not spiritual power, it's a curse."

"Curse? What curse is it?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it."

"There are actually curse spells in this world that you haven't seen before?"

"I am a demon master, not a dark demon spirit binder. I..." Su Zhen said suddenly, "Qin Zhi!"

"Tin Zhi? Oh, by the way! Let's go find him! Go find Bo Yixuan! Let him release Tan Zhi's soul!"

"Go on your own. If I go, it will look like I am begging him!"

Su Zhen huffed proudly, crossed her arms over her chest, and leaned against the back of the carriage with her eyes closed to meditate.

Huo Ji laughed dumbly and raised his hand to rub her hair.

After leaving the palace, they found that wanted notices for Yin Shen and Mi Yao had been posted.

Su Zhen just glanced at it and went straight to Donghua Street where the hospital was located.

Huo Ji went back to the general's mansion first, intending to find Bo Yixuan and solve his doubts.

After asking the servants, I learned that Bo Yixuan and Chihuang were in the backyard.

When he was about to step through the hanging flower door, he heard a woman's laughter.

Looking closely, I saw Red Phoenix and Weeping Cod riding a strange object, wandering around in the back garden.

That thing has two black wheels with a silver frame in the middle and a chain connecting them.

The two of them were holding the handle, stepping on the pedals, and sitting on it, riding back and forth.

It looked like there was no support, but they didn't fall down.

"What are you playing?"

"Brother Huo Ji!" Qi Hud stepped on the pedals of the bicycle and stopped in front of him, and said happily: "Look! This is the bicycle that Brother He Liang gave to us! There are ten bicycles in total! Come and join us.

Let’s play together!”

"He Liang?"

Huo Ji often heard of He Liang's name from Su Zhen, but he had never seen it.

He carefully studied the structure of the bicycle and asked, "What is this made of rubber?"

"It seems to be called alloy! He also sent the drawings and said that Su Youning can mass-produce them."
