She didn't know what Xia Sheng was selling in the gourd, but she vaguely felt something was wrong and didn't want to continue to get entangled with him, so she replied indifferently.

"What's wrong with King Han? You can send a message to the doorman and then pass it on to me. If you really can't speak, you can also write a letter to the retainers in the house. After their discussion, you will also submit it. Today, I will meet you privately, which is contrary to human relations. I'd better not see you again in the future!"

This sentence was extremely cold in her mouth. She turned around and gave him no chance to refute. She left far away in the opposite direction, leaving Xia Sheng alone in the yard, unmoving for a long time.

When Lu Zhaoyi walked away, Xia Sheng slowly withdrew her gaze, turned around, and watched her back disappear at the end of the garden, and her heart seemed to be dug out, and it was extremely painful.

But things have come to this point and cannot be changed. In the future, the two of them can only be in the same identities as brothers, sisters-in-law and uncles.

In the Hongyan Tower in the Third Courtyard of the Left, Lu Zhaoyi entered Qu Zhiyun's bedroom and sat facing her.

A pot of hot tea burned with the heat of the stove and surging, and the whole room quickly became warm.

Outside the house, snowflakes fell, covering the ground that had been dyed with a layer of white frost with a thick layer of snow-whiteness.

Lu Zhaoyi held the teacup, but was not in a hurry to drink it, but just stared at the tea in her hand quietly.

"Does Qi Niang have something to worry about?" Qu Zhiyun took a sip, put down the cup, and stared at her with warm eyes.

Lu Zhaoyi was slightly stunned, then she came to her senses, lowered her eyes, and concealed the emotions in her eyes.

She deliberately opened up the topic, "Have the decoration of the new Qinyu Pavilion been completed? I haven't seen you go to supervise the work these days."

Listening to her words, Qu Zhiyun nodded slightly, "It's almost done. I'll just wait for the start of next month to complete the work. Besides, the people from Wu Sikong's mansion are staring at me in the capital. It would be strange if I always run over every day, I won't be suspicious."

As the situation in the North Korea changes, there are also adjustments within Luojing and within the World Alliance.

Qinyu Pavilion is the secret garrison for Zuo Qintang. After being recommended by the Left Prime Minister Yuan Qi, the hall leader Lin Chang was appointed as the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion as the position of Zhonglang Gongche Ling. Naturally, he became the backbone of the World Alliance and the deputy leader of the alliance.

In this way, Qinyu Pavilion became the position of the Tianxia League Headquarters.

However, at this moment, the snow was getting very colorful. While they turned to look at the snow scene outside the window, the melodious sound of piano suddenly sounded and reached their ears.

"It's strange." Qu Zhiyun frowned, "I haven't heard of anyone playing the piano in our mansion? Wen Ji, the son of Duke Wei, is indeed carrying the piano skills, but he should be guarding Hulao Pass?"

When Lu Zhaoyi heard this, she couldn't help but look up at the window. There was nothing in the vast white snow except the heavy snow flying all over the sky.

Under the chords of the piano, it seems sad, helpless, like gurgling water, sighing that time is getting old, and the friendship between the old friends is no longer there.

After a sad sound of the piano was scattered in the snow, the strings suddenly plucked and vibrated, as if someone was hitting the strings hard. Under these roaring sounds, there was the heart of the person who played the piano, which was intertwined with sadness and anger.

After hearing this, Qu Zhiyun couldn't help but shake her head, "Where is this sound coming from? She is so sad."

Lu Zhaoyi was silent for a while before calling out Huazhi who followed her, "Go and see who handed the Qin to King Han, asked Wei Meng to take this person and punish ten military sticks to serve as a warning to You."

Her voice was plain, but her words were filled with a sequel, which made her heart feel cold.

"King Han?" Qu Zhiyun was startled and turned to smile, "You can't resist it? If the people outside knew what would it be like if the queen met her husband privately?"

Lu Zhaoyi gave her a blank look, "It's only when he comes every day that people can make gossip. I let me in to make it clear to him so that I won't have unnecessary trouble in the future."

After saying that, she took a sip of hot tea, remembered it and told her, "Remember, don't let the emperor know about this!"

Qu Zhiyun nodded and said yes, and the next moment she burst out laughing.

"conceal

Your Majesty, are you still afraid that Your Majesty will be jealous?"

"You girl..." Lu Zhaoyi picked up the empty cup and pretended to smash it over. When Qu Zhiyun saw it, she quickly turned around and stuck out her tongue at her.

"His Queen calms down, my girl will never dare to make fun of you again."

These words are always a bit strange when Qu Zhiyun said them, but they are more of a provocative and naughty meaning.

The two women then started to fight each other in the attic.

After a moment, the sound of the piano outside also came to an abrupt end, and the fight between them at their daughter's house ended soon.

Lu Zhaoyi lay on the floor, looking straight at the roof, her eyes as if she was dull, "Do you know that you are seventeen years old in a few months. When I was seventeen, I had already left the Lu family and experienced life and death in the world..."

Upon hearing this, Qu Zhiyun also fell into a brief silence. Then she stretched out her hand, stroked Lu Zhaoyi's soft hair, and said slowly: "Since I met you, I have regarded you as a good sister, and I even regarded you as a person I admire. I am willing to follow you all the time..."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi smiled slightly, then sat up, stretched out her finger and pointed her forehead hard.

"Didn't I get married immediately? Why are I so sad?" She said, standing up and patting the dust on the hem of her skirt.

Qu Zhiyun also laughed, "I'm just worried that you will enter the palace one day and no one will chat with you."

"How could it be? Zhiyun, you are so lively and lively, I can't bear to let you go!" Lu Zhaoyi held her palm and said with a smile, then hugged her in her arms.

The two of them were quiet for a long time before they gradually separated. At this time, Huazhi just came back, holding a piano in her arms.

"Qianniang, this zither was not handed over by the people in the house, but by King Han himself."

"Where is King Cold?" Lu Zhaoyi asked.

"It's gone." Huazhi said cautiously, "After King Han left, he said he would hand over this zither to Qi Niang. Qi Niang, look..."

Huazhi presented the piano with both hands.

Lu Zhaoyi didn't even take it, but just looked at the piano and couldn't help but sigh that it was a good piano.

pity……

She raised her eyes and shook her head, "I can't accept this piano. I'll send it back to Prince Han's Mansion and ask someone to bring a message. If he doesn't pick up the piano back, I can only send this piano to the Queen Mother's palace and let the Queen Mother return it."

Huazhi was slightly stunned and nodded in agreement.

Perhaps, in her heart, she felt that Lu Zhaoyi was so cold, and when she thought of the current situation of enthroning the empress, she could understand her behavior.

Just as Huazhi was about to withdraw, just as she turned around for a moment, Lu Zhaoyi turned sideways slightly, and glanced at Huazhi holding her, which seemed to be something foreign to the bottom of the piano that was close to her front. She shouted immediately and stopped Huazhi.

"What's wrong? Qi Niang..."

"Zhiyun, look at what is stuck on the bottom of the piano?" Lu Zhaoyi asked.

Qu Zhiyun approached suspiciously, and when she saw the bottom of the piano, there was an envelope.

She pulled off the envelope and handed it to Lu Zhaoyi. She stood there in a daze, then waved her hand, and signaled Huazhi to retreat.

When she bought it, she always felt that this letter was a bit difficult.

She kept thinking in her heart that perhaps Xia Sheng used this method to give herself the ironclad evidence of Wu Chong's rebellion.

Recalling that before she set off for Huainan County, she invited Xia Sheng to Zuixiangju because she had evidence of Wu Chong's crime of accepting bribes and privately casting copper coins.

It was also in order to deal with Lu Lin and Du Yan that she formed an alliance with Xia Sheng and used the power of the old Nanling to deal with the enemies in the court.

At that time, she did not expect that she would eventually join forces with Du Yan to deal with Wu Chong who had been hiding for many years.

It seemed as if Qu Zhiyun had guessed it, her expression became solemn in an instant, and she couldn't help but ask, "Qi, Qi Niang, this letter is..."

Lu Zhaoyi nodded to her dullly, "Maybe."

She lifted the envelope and looked through the light outside, as if she wanted to see through the words inside, but no matter what, she couldn't tell what was written.

Then, he stopped hesitating and quickly opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

When she was showing the letter, she looked at the content of the letter with a happier look. As she looked down, her face became more and more gloomy. In the end, she looked angry and tore the letter to pieces on the spot.

"It's actually... so, teasing me!"

Just looking at her face, Qu Zhiyun could guess without thinking. This letter was not evidence of Wu Chong's crime, but...

Love poem?

The next moment, she couldn't help laughing, "Qi Niang! You have today too! Why are you tearing it like this? I still want to see the poems written by the world's number one talent!"

Lu Zhaoyi was both annoyed and angry, her cheeks became more and more blushing, and she wanted to kick Qu Zhiyun out of the room.

However, she thought about it again, and the anger on her face instantly turned into an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Zhiyun, if Xia Sheng hadn't made such a fuss, I would have forgotten that he was still holding Wu Chong's plan to rebel."

If it weren't for that ironclad evidence, Xia Sheng wouldn't have contacted Wu Chong, nor would have been used by Wu Chong, and he would have been poisoned by the body.

All of this arises because of that evidence.

Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to shout, "Zhiyun, prepare a carriage, I'm going to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother!"

"See the Queen Mother? Do you want the Queen Mother to help you persuade King Han and give you the evidence?"

"There is no other way. I can't go find him by myself, right? Now, I can't even see the emperor."

When Qu Zhiyun heard her words, she almost laughed, probably wondering: Do you have little to see with the emperor in private? She didn't even have to meet before marriage, and the emperor was not allowed to meet. This etiquette was taken seriously.

But Lu Zhaoyi turned around and went out of the door no matter what she was thinking.

"Oh, Qi Niang, wait for me!"

Just as soon as he went out, Lu Zhaoyi felt that he had collided with someone, and his forehead hit the chest of the person in front of him.

Qu Zhiyun also happened to run out and saw her collide with the man. She was frightened at first, but then her eyebrows and eyes slightly spread, her lips slightly curled up, and she quickly retreated to not disturb the two of them.

For a moment, Lu Zhaoyi's vision suddenly became dim and hit someone again, so she immediately retreated.

But the man pulled her into his arms, his chest tightly pressing against her, as if he would not give her any chance to escape.

At the beginning, Lu Zhaoyi was a little angry, but after a while, no one of the hidden armor guards nearby came up to stop him, not to mention that her broad chest was so familiar to her.

"Your Majesty? You, let me go..."

Sure enough, just the next moment, a hot stream blew into her ears, and the voice that made her familiar and desolate gradually came.
