Chapter 5
When Yin Luo looked at Mei Chengting, the other party was also looking at her.

The girl was wearing a water-red dress, and the wide cuffs and skirt were embroidered with gold threads to create patterns of large flowers. Mei Chengting could recognize that they were lotus flowers.Her long hair was held up with flower hairpins, and there were scattered gold ingots beside it to hold the broken hair. An old friend of his also liked to comb her hair like this.

The girl has double phoenix eyes, which are slightly arched, her arched eyebrows are also raised, her nose is small and upright, and the corners of her mouth are curled up in a... slightly calculating smile, but she is still very beautiful.

Mei Chengting's eyes moved down to her hands folded around her waist. This was a standard palace ritual!Once you develop it, you will do it subconsciously.

Behind her sat a young man, who was drinking tea with his head down. Mei Chengting couldn't see clearly his clothes and appearance, and frowned slightly.

He turned to look back at Yin Luo and changed the tone of his statement: "You are her apprentice."

Yin Luo smiled lightly, "When I enter the city today, I am somewhat relying on the glory of Antais."

Mei Chengting smiled when he heard this, "You don't look like you are thanking me."

"I didn't intend to say thank you."

Mei Chengting's expression was slightly stiff, and he was a little confused about the little girl: "What do you mean by this?"

Yin Luo's eyebrows were crooked, but there was no good intention in his eyes. "It's true that I took Antaisi's token to go to the capital. But as soon as I got home, I was assassinated... The one who sent them here was the Meisi envoy." Rival, since I hold the Antai Commander card, I don’t think I am implicated by you. The favor has been offset by now..." She blinked and added: "However, my visit to Beijing this time must have attracted a lot of people's attention. Look, there are many people who came to intercept and kill me along the way, and they all came for that thing."

Mei Chengting's expression turned cold, his brows furrowed, and he was about to scold, but Yin Luo spoke again: "There are people from the Jianghu, local officials, and even aristocratic families who went to Beijing along the way. They worked so hard to intercept and kill me. Doesn't it prove that the thing is not in their hands? When Mei Sishi traces the lost thing, he can eliminate them. After all, a fool who can't even kill me has the ability to break into the Daliang Palace and steal that thing. ? Do you think so?"

"How much do you know?" Mei Chengting's expression softened slightly.

"I know as much as you say I know." Yin Luo smiled again, "I have given my order to help the envoy in the investigation. Why don't the envoy say thank you?"

Mei Chengting was amused by her rogue words, "Little guy, you are more interesting than your master."

"Thank you, Yin Luo, for the compliment." She saluted.

"Your surname is Yin? Is it Yin from Prime Minister Yin?" Mei Chengting tilted his head and asked tentatively.

Yin Luo smiled slightly and only replied: "It's just Yin Luo's Yin."

"Hahaha -" Mei Chengting laughed out loud, "What a Yin Luo's Yin!" He nodded, as if approving of Yin Luo, "Since you are her apprentice, your surname is Yin Luo's Yin Luo. , This coincides with my two old friends. If anything happens to you in Shangjing in the future, just take out the token of Antaisi. The five nobles, seven aristocratic families, nine mansions and six tribes in Shangjing..."

"I'm afraid they all want to take my life." Yin Luo didn't wait for him to finish speaking and intercepted his words, "Mei Shishi should know that you are very good at making enemies. I don't want to be the target of public criticism because of a token. I won't do it until I have to. I won't use your token."

Mei Chengting touched his chin awkwardly, unable to answer the question for a moment.

"But since Mei Siji knows my master, if you encounter anything in the future that Antais can't interfere with, you can come and ask me. If I can do it, I will definitely help Mei Siji." Yin Luo rolled his eyes. , and asked: "As for Mei Si's friend named Yin, I wonder if he is still alive?"

Mei Chengting was stunned for a moment, shook his head at her, and then said: "Thank you very much, little guy." After that, he was about to leave.

Yin Luo said calmly, "If you don't find someone to ask for Xianlou's invitation, they will leave."

Yu Ruyi stood up and took two steps this way, looking at Mei Chengting but not knowing how to speak.He pulled Yin Luo's arm out of sight of Mei Chengting and motioned for her to speak.

However, Yin Luo remained unmoved.

Mei Chengting looked at Yu Ruyi and was slightly lost in thought. This young man looked both male and female, noble and handsome, with his hair tied in a jade crown, and dressed in white clothes with Ruyi cloud patterns... Mei Chengting looked at the boy who was glowing slightly under the candlelight. Ruyi silver pattern on his face, his brows furrowed.

It's him? !
How is he here?
After thinking of his identity, Mei Chengting suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Yu Ruyi's face again, "What do you want?"

"In three days, I'll send you an invitation to the auction of Tingxianlou." Yu Ruyi smiled at him, "Is that okay?"

Mei Chengting nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Someone will deliver it to you tomorrow." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard, wanting to stay and visit.

As soon as he stepped out of the hall threshold, Yu Ruyi lowered her voice and said in Yin Luo's ear: "Yin Luo, I wish you had helped me get it! It's all your fault! He must have recognized my identity!" Yin Luo! Looking at the Ruyi silver pattern on his clothes, she rolled her eyes, "If you wear your identity and name on your clothes all day long, don't be afraid of others recognizing you." As she spoke, she stepped up to follow Mei Chengting, wanting to take a look. What is he going to do.

Fuyu Ruyi, who was following her diagonally, was at a loss for words, so she had to bite back, "You are an incompetent sister anyway!"

Yin Luo rolled his eyes again, not wanting to argue with him, so he said, "I don't have to be your sister."

"..." Yu Ruyi was speechless again.

Mei Chengting stopped in the yard of Yin Mansion, raised his head and looked around the surrounding buildings. His eyes stayed for a while on the crown of the tallest magnolia tree in the yard, and turned to look at Yin Luo: "The previous owner of this house, for many years I was involved in a political struggle and was dismounted." He stopped talking at this point, and Yin Luo didn't understand what he meant for a while.

Yu Ruyi, who had not planned to talk before, broke the jar and walked to Yin Luo's side, "What do you want to say?" He also tilted his head, but expressed doubts, "Are you? Are you reminding us not to make the same mistake again and participate in the political affairs of the Liang Dynasty?" Yu Ruyi shrugged shamelessly, "We came to Beijing to make money, business is low-level, we don't have the qualifications, you can rest assured."

A branch on the crown of the magnolia tree trembled slightly. Yin Luo looked over there with a stern look. At this moment, Mei Chengting also spoke out again: "Young master, you think too much. That is your choice. I have no control over it." Arrived. I want to say that this house has been vacant for a long time, and it is inevitable that rats, snakes and insects will make their home here or pass by. I just want to remind you so as not to let these things crawl on the couch when you rest at night." Mei Cheng Ting slowly turned his head, looked at Yu Ruyi, who had been labeled as a "liar" in his heart, and continued: "You are a delicate young man. If you wake up at night and see a mouse standing beside the bed, I'm afraid it will scare you." Gotta faint."

"?" Yu Ruyi was stunned.

Yin Luo reacted in an instant. She tapped the ground with her toes and circled her right hand. In an instant, dozens of golden needles flew straight towards the magnolia crown. Before the needles reached the magnolia crown, there was movement in the magnolia crown, and then a black circle appeared. The man in clothes staggered and landed in the courtyard. The next second he ran towards the wall, trying to escape from the sight of the three people.

Yin Luo frowned, without thinking too much, and used Qinggong to follow closely, ignoring Mei Chengting and the sluggish Yu Ruyi who were standing there.

Yu Feng, who ran out of the house after hearing the noise, ran to Yu Ruyi's side and saw only the back of the girl in red blending into the night. He asked, "What was she doing at night?"

Yu Ruyi touched her nose and replied: "Catch mice."

Mei Chengting laughed, shook his head and left Yin Mansion, but he did not go back to his Antaisi Mansion, but went directly to the palace.

He had to tell Emperor Chongwen everything about today!
He met two people in Shangjing who had no chance of being here!
Emperor Chongwen had been sitting in the Sulong Hall in the inner garden of the palace waiting for a long time. When Mei Chengting arrived after a long journey, Emperor Chongwen had just finished drinking a cup of tea. He looked at Mei Chengting who was a little puzzled and waved, "Are you here first? Drink some tea to moisten your throat before we talk."

"Your Majesty already knows?" Mei Chengting frowned, "How did you know this time?"

I don’t know what kind of insider information Emperor Chongwen has in the capital. Whenever some new information comes out, Mei Chengting, the envoy of Antai, wants to report to Emperor Chongwen. He will find out!Emperor Chongwen happened to know it earlier than he did!
This made Mei Chengting, the envoy of Antais, very frustrated.

Emperor Chongwen took another sip of tea and asked Mei Chengting to sit down. "I didn't know until dinner." He pointed to a small secret guard accompanying him, "Well, Hong Yang also told me."

Mei Chengting looked at Hong Yang and was speechless.

"It's just that Hong Yang only saw them from a distance, so he definitely doesn't know as much as you did when he came to visit." Emperor Chongwen picked up the teapot and poured Mei Chengting a cup of tea himself, "Tell me, what are their temperaments like? "

Mei Chengting also accepted the cup of tea calmly, and took a sip, "The girl from the Yin family is very scheming, and she is full of temptations when she talks, but she is very interesting." Mei Chengting frowned, "But the murderous look in her eyebrows It's too heavy. When I talk to her, I subconsciously have to be careful."

Emperor Chongwen laughed, as if he was mocking Mei Chengting, "How old is she? You have to be wary of a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, so are you wary of me now? You are not afraid of the tea I pour for you. Is it poisonous?"

Mei Chengting looked at Emperor Chongwen with a rare, or at least rare, speechless look in Mei Chengting's eyes, "She has a very fierce temperament, but Gong Yi has learned the rules. I'm afraid she doesn't even know it herself, and will fold her hands in front of her unconsciously."

"Oh? She also taught her palace etiquette?" Emperor Chongwen was a little interested, "Who does she look like?"

Mei Chengting thought for a moment, "Her mother, but her eyes are more like her father's."

"What about that?" Emperor Chongwen put down his tea cup, "Are you old-fashioned? Are you stubborn? Are you talkative?"

"Not old-fashioned, not stubborn, not very talkative." Mei Chengting paused, "He asked me for an invitation to attend the auction at Tingxianlou, and I accepted."

"I know it too." Emperor Chongwen didn't care much. "That girl Mingfang came back from Cuizhou, and just now she came to me to ask for an invitation. Why do you think these little guys like to go to auctions so much? ? Think about when you and I were young, but we never went there once."

Mei Chengting's eyes darkened, and his role was once again criticized by the little secret guard named Hong Yang, "If I had known that the emperor knew about it, I wouldn't have come... But, the emperor can rest assured to let the second princess go?"
