There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

"Ms. Shen is so candid tonight, I don't want to hide anything."

Li Yun took the initiative to fill a bowl of wine for her.

"Mrs. Shen knows that in this march and war, the most important thing is the right time, the right place and the right people. And Yuan Ji relied on his eldest son Yuan Huaigong 20 years ago who had real skills. Yuan Huaigong retired due to illness, but since then he has been defeated repeatedly in battles. , mediocrity and inaction. But he was able to strategize the three of them during the Helan Mountain battle. This is what I have never understood. Madam Shen, can I ask you for an answer tonight? "

Shen Huihe narrowed his eyes, "I wonder what the prince wants?"

"Before that, I also want to get an answer from Madam Shen."

"What answer?"

He looked back at her, with a pair of dark eyes that seemed to be able to generate light, but also seemed to reveal gloomy decadence and helplessness: "Ms. Shen, how do you view this prince?"

"Although Pindao doesn't dare to say that he knows the prince very well, he has had several opportunities with the prince. Since the prince has such an attitude, he naturally has his own thoughts. Pindao just knows that, prince, you will not be an ungrateful person. "

After she finished speaking frankly, she didn't forget to take two sips of liqueur.

Li Yun was startled, and his dark eyes were gradually covered with a layer of inexplicable emotion, but when he raised his eyes again, it was fleeting and barely visible.

"It turns out that this prince is still a good person in Madam Shen's heart." He paused and said with some emotion, "But Madam Shen, you should be more careful and don't think that men in this world are born into some aristocratic family or an official family, with a handsome appearance and a strong hand. Being generous means being a good person!”

Now it was Shen Huihe's turn to be a little confused. His words seemed to be praising himself, but also seemed to mean something.

"Your Majesty, these words are——"

Li Yun interrupted her and returned to his usual cold and cold expression: "That's all. May I ask when Madam Shen plans to visit again?"

"It's best to strike while the iron is hot, but I think the guards must have been strengthened tonight, so it's better to take a long-term approach."

Shen Huihe looked at the pitch-black sky and the scattered footsteps in the distance. He knew that the guards had not stopped searching for the thief, "Your Majesty, why don't you go back to your yard first? If so, Duke Qin discovered that you were not here——"

Li Yun curled his lips and said a little frivolously: "Ms. Shen, are you worried about my son's safety?!"

Shen Huihe was in a trance for a moment, then he suppressed the rolling of his eyes in time and curled his lips: "I am just afraid that Prince Jingbei will come to trouble you again and I will solve your trouble for you!"

"Wouldn't it be more interesting if Yuan Ji could be reassured about this prince, but also fearful of him, making him feel uneasy all day long and unable to sleep at night?!"

Shen Huihe raised his eyebrows, actually somewhat agreeing with his approach.

"Actually, I also have something to say to the prince."

"Huh?! Madam Shen, please speak."

"What happened in front of Qiongzhen Tower that day, I didn't know that Princess Zhaoqing had such a cruel temper. She would vent her anger on others and even punish others for fun. Later, I accidentally learned that all her slaves and followers were punished. .”

Li Yun's smile grew thicker and he was a little playful: "Oh? What next?"

Shen Huihe pursed his lips and said in a breath: "You, you were right that day, but I was a little impulsive. I, I did something wrong, and I have to apologize to you, Crown Prince."

"I accept this apology." Li Yun smiled brightly, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of wine, "But..."

"But what?!"

"But this prince is only worried about the safety of you two, and I didn't say that Madam Shen, you did something wrong!" Shen Huihe suddenly realized, and realized that he had suffered a big loss: "Your Majesty, you——"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yun drank the last sip of wine in the wine bowl and stood up to leave.

Shen Huihe stood up quickly and followed him: "There is one more thing that I want to ask the prince."

Li Yun tied his hands behind his back and stood facing the wind: "Ms. Shen, do you want to ask where Liu Wei went? Why didn't he come with me this time?"

"Yes, that's exactly what happened. Liu did it for him——"

"Ms. Shen, don't worry. Ah Wei took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the military camp for training, so I let him go. As Mrs. Shen said, he wants to make his own way after all."

"That's it. Thank you, Your Majesty, for informing me."

Shen Huihe smiled brightly and felt a little relieved in his heart.

Li Yun waved his hand and strode out of Qingfengyuan.

He jumped over several high walls with ease, easily dodged the patrols of the black-clad guards, and finally landed deep in the bamboo forest of a certain courtyard.

Not far from the front yard, a woman could be heard cursing.

"Princess Zhaoqing has gone to bed, and she has just sent someone to inform the Duke. If you servants are still so stubborn, I will definitely not be able to spare you when the princess wakes up tomorrow!" The princess's personal maid Yuan yelled at Xiaoxiangyuan outside the door.

Seven or eight of the princess's guards stood guard in front of the courtyard gate with their swords drawn.At the same time, nine or ten gloomy-looking guards in black came from the opposite side. They were people from the Duke's mansion.

The two teams drew their swords and fired their crossbows, refusing to give in to each other, and surrounded the Xiaoxiang courtyard.

"The Duke of Guo is feeling unwell tonight, and my subordinates do not dare to disturb him any more. Madam, please inform me once again that there is a thief in the house. If the investigation is not clear, the Duke of Guo will not be at ease tomorrow."

"You cheap guards, if you offend the princess, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around."

A Yuan looked extremely displeased. She wondered why Duke Qin was so crazy and wanted to catch a thief in the middle of the night. He even lost the face of the majestic Princess Zhaoqing!

The leading black-clothed guard's expression did not change and he said coldly: "If Madam A Yuan still doesn't get out of the way, my subordinates will have to——"

"What's the fuss about?"

"Noisy, noisy, these fine wines are not interesting anymore——"

Everyone was startled, and all turned their heads to look in a certain direction in the yard. A tall and crooked figure staggered out from the shadows at the back of the yard——

The man's bun was half loose, with two or three blurred emerald bamboo leaves stuck at the ends of his hair.The collar of the man's robe was loose, and most of the hem of the lake blue robe was stained with bamboo soil. He staggered in the direction of everyone.

"Shi, Shizi, how could you come from the princess's -" A Yuan exclaimed.

"Oh?! It turns out to be Maid A Yuan. This prince is here to look for the princess -" Li Yun staggered, already drunk, "Yes, yes, princess, I came to look for the princess. How did you get there?" I visited several courtyards but still couldn’t find anyone. Where is the county master——"

A Yuan looked embarrassed and secretly visited the room where the candles had been extinguished long ago, fearing that her master would be so excited that he would be unable to restrain himself and push the door open.
