Boom——

Muffled thunder sounded over the city, the rain suddenly became heavier, and a cross wind blew.

Near Dyefang Street, Ye Jingtang held an oil-paper umbrella with one hand to block the wind, held Sister Ning'er in his arms, and used his body to block the raindrops flying sideways. He couldn't help but say a few words:

"This rain is the same as yours the night before...hiss--"

Luo Ning huddled under Ye Jingtang's arm. The little thief took the initiative to protect her from the wind and rain, and she was quite touched. When these words came out, her cold face suddenly turned into shame and anger, and she pinched Ye Jingtang's waist hard:

"Little thief, do you dare to mention this again? I didn't mean it... I even bought new sheets to compensate you!"

Ye Jingtang smiled and apologized, shielding himself from the wind and rain with his sleeves, pretending that nothing had happened.

Because he was about to arrive home, Ye Jingtang quickened his pace and wanted to rush directly into Dyefang Street.

But Nuxia Luo in her arms seemed to be offended by those unbridled words and was about to turn around:

"I'll go to the Wang Family Medical Center and prepare some medicine for you later."

"It's raining so hard, let's go tomorrow."

"No! You little thief is getting more and more outrageous. I'm no one like you. You don't want to repay your kindness, but you still have to push your limits..."

"Hush, there's a carriage ahead."

Ye Jingtang walked forward quickly. Because the rain was too heavy, he heard the horses snorting when he reached the intersection of Ranfang Street. He raised his umbrella and looked around. He saw a luxurious chariot parked on the street to take shelter from the rain.

There were guards outside the carriage, the windows were open, and the lights were on inside.

The handsome and handsome Queen was sitting in the carriage, looking at him from the window with a strange look in her eyes.

The bird huddled on Ye Jingtang's shoulder to hide from the rain quickly raised its wings and said hello:

"Chiji~"

When Luo Ning saw the noble woman in the carriage, her face changed slightly. She bowed like a shy little daughter-in-law, then took the umbrella and ran quickly into Dyefang Street.

Wow…

The heavy rain covered the head and face, making the birds shiver.

It was difficult to talk in the heavy rain at Ye Jingtang Station, so I quickly walked out of the carriage:

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Dongfang Liren focused his eyes on the girl Ning'er who was running away with her head lowered, and said calmly:

"I just came to see you for something. Miss Ning'er's little maid said that you had gone out, so she took shelter here from the rain. Come up."

Ye Jingtang jumped onto the carriage, lowered his head and entered the door. The sound of rain outside became quieter, leaving only the soft patter of rain hitting the roof of the car.

Dongfang Liren, dressed in a fat-headed dragon python suit, was sitting on the couch, his eyes still on the street:

"What did you say to Miss Ning'er just now? She seems to be angry and hitting you."

Ye Jingtang sat down by the car window. It was hard to say the allusion of Luo Nuxia wetting the sheets, so he just said casually:

"It was just a joke."

Dongfang Liren took a white sweat towel from the side of the couch and handed it to Ye Jingtang, whose face was covered with rain:

"You said naughty things to tease Miss Ning'er?"

Ye Jingtang took the towel and wiped his face:

"It's just a joke, how can you call it teasing."

"snort……"

Dongfang Liren estimated that Ye Jingtang was talking about something like "Ning'er moves on her own", so she didn't go into details and instead said:

"Minglongtan is good for your practice. I want you to do something, and I need you to improve your strength as soon as possible, so I have a few words with the Holy Lord. You can go to Minglongtan at any time with the token..."

Ye Jingtang was stunned, recalling what Miss Yuhu said yesterday, he was very surprised and asked:

"Cheng'an Palace is the Holy Emperor's palace. Did His Highness himself speak about this matter?"

Dongfang Liren wanted to nod and let Ye Jingtang remember her as a favor, but the actual situation was that she had never thought of letting Ye Jingtang spend the night in Minglongtan. Last night when her sister was sleeping, she said, "Do you want Ye Jingtang to stay overnight?"

If Jingtang goes to Minglongtan to practice martial arts, there is no need to be secretive, just give him a sign that allows him to enter and exit the palace freely."

Dongfang Liren has always been outspoken. He didn't want to do something like pretending to be a military leader, so he responded:

"The Holy One heard that you risked your life to investigate the case, and thought that you were loyal, capable, and worthy of training, so he allowed you to practice martial arts in Minglongtan. But remember, those who have received this honor in the past are all diehard loyalists of the imperial court.

Sir, wherever you go, you must fulfill this responsibility."

Ye Jingtang asked in confusion: "Your Highness said that Minglongtan cannot be entered except by the one who is destined to be the emperor. Who else has gone in?"

"There are quite a few, Eunuch Cao from this dynasty, Eunuch Xue from the previous dynasty, Eunuch Wei..."

In the night hall, I heard a group of father-in-laws, and there was a slight chill somewhere, and they secretly said: If you want to practice this skill, you must first commit suicide in the palace, so that’s what it means...

"Only eunuchs can spend the night there? Actually, I think it's okay to practice slowly outside."

"As long as you know the rules and don't listen or look at the old martial arts master, I won't cleanse you. Come here tomorrow, I will take you into the palace and teach you the rules first."

Ye Jingtang thought for a moment: "I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the palace tomorrow."

"Is something wrong?"

"There have been some personal matters these past two days. Baoyuanmen in Yunzhou has taken away part of Honghualou's property, so I have to help Honghualou settle the matter; and Tiefuling wants to beat me today, so I have to intimidate him.

, I have to go out for three to five days."

Dongfang Liren obviously has some objections to such trivial matters:

"Why do you need to go there personally for this kind of thing? I will give an order and let She Longshang go away..."

"No need. Asking Your Highness to deal with such a trivial matter is making a fuss out of a molehill. I have learned the martial arts of Honghualou, so I should go there for a trip."

When Dongfang Liren saw this, he didn't say much: "Then go back quickly, pay attention to safety outside, and remember to teach me the Overlord Spear when you come back. Do you want me to arrange some guards for you?"

"No need, I have always acted steadily..."

"You walk all the way and kill all the way, and say you are stable?!"

Ye Jingtang smiled: "I have my own sense of discretion, Your Highness, don't worry."

Dongfang Liren didn't say much when he saw this.

Ye Jingtang thought for a while and then remembered the topic just now - judging from Benben's words, it was not Benben's attention that allowed him to stay in Minglong Pond to practice martial arts. It was probably Queen Yuhu who really gave the empress a pillow...

…

Girl Yuhu doesn't look like Lily, but as a palace servant, she has no choice, so she is forced to polish the mirror with the empress, and her hair turns gray...

But I don’t know whether this is true or not.

Ye Jingtang thought for a moment and asked:

"Your Highness, are you familiar with the palace maid?"

Dongfang Liren was stunned for a moment, and the Night Terror Hall finally realized that he was ready to hire a few beautiful palace ladies as maids, and asked:

"You are more outstanding in the familiarity part, but you have fallen in love with a certain palace maid or palace maid? I will give it to you..."

Ye Jingtang shook his head: "No, I just met a palace maid recently. She doesn't seem to like life in the palace, and she worries all day long..."

Dongfang Liren was a little confused and thought to himself: This is a girl who feels sorry for the palace maid and is not favored, and wants to be a hero to save the beauty? She asked:

"What is your name?"

Ye Jingtang sat a little closer and whispered:

"My name is Yuhu. Do you recognize him, Your Highness?"

"..."

There was a crackle outside the carriage and a dead silence fell inside the carriage.

Dongfang Liren's eyes widened a bit, and the fat-headed dragon was visibly swollen. He didn't know what he was thinking, but his eyes were getting more and more fierce. Finally, he raised his hand and grabbed Ye Jingtang's collar and pressed it on him.

On the backrest, their eyes faced each other, filled with murderous intent:

"What do you mean? Do you want me to help you?"

Ye Jingtang expected that Benben might misunderstand him if he talked about palace maids.

But I didn’t expect that Benben would suddenly become jealous and have such a big reaction!

This alone makes me look for maids in the palace...

It is indeed a test...

Ye Jingtang was pressed on the carriage, but he didn't resist and explained seriously:

"I have nothing to do with Yuhu, and I don't want her to go back and fill in the house. I'm just curious..."

Dongfang Liren stared at Ye Jingtang's eyes carefully to make sure that Ye Jingtang was not confessing his relationship with his sister. Only then did the unknown fire in his heart subside slightly, but his eyebrows were still raised:

"Do you know who she is?"

Ye Jingtang looked at the bright cheeks that were so close and said in a low voice: "She said she is the beloved concubine of the Holy One and often sleeps with the Holy One. Is this true?"
